"Second brother, do you know anything?" Zhou Zhi asked. "How can I not understand the movements of my love rival?" Li Lao Er was proud.
"Why are you related to your love rival again?" Zhou Zhi was puzzled: "Sister Wanqiu is a mother, and there is still a suitor?"
"As a suitor in the past, although he did not admit it himself, I always think he had ideas about Wanqiu." Li Lao Er nodded with certainty: "You know him too, Toni Huang."
"Hi!" Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel angry: "You dare to make such a joke, which scares me!"
Toni Huang was a friend Lin Wanqiu met during her study abroad and was very good at international laws and regulations related to artworks. The two had some interactions at that time. While working in a large auction house abroad, Lin Wanqiu recommended Toni Huang to her boss. Later, she jumped out to help her father get Hanhai, and she also hired Toni Huang as a legal consultant.
Zhou Zhi and Toni Huang met when they were pursuing the statue of the Dragon and Phoenix King. They started on Hong Kong Island and conspired with Zhou Zhi to create momentum to force the other party to leave Hong Kong Island. The lawsuit was filed in the United States and finally the pursuit was successful. Toni Huang, as the litigation lawyer for this case, made great efforts.
Li Laoer has been pursuing Lin Wanqiu since middle school, and at the beginning he was a little arrogant. When he heard that Lin Wanqiu was studying abroad and was getting closer to a law-studying person, he suddenly became a little anxious. Although he finally chased the beauty, he always listed Toni Huang as his imaginary enemy.
But Zhou Zhi felt that Toni Huang was quite unfair, because Zhou Zhi found that the child's orientation might be a problem during his contact with Toni Huang. At that time, Liang Pingyi, who was sent by the Cultural Relics Bureau to take charge of the matter, was a tough middle-aged handsome guy, a bit like the later star Zhang Hanyu. Zhou Zhi found that Toni Huang's vision was often fixed on Liang Pingyi, especially after taking a few people to choose a suit before appearing in court.
Maybe they are not interested in women at all, and their relationship with Sister Wanqiu is of the nature of a best friend.
However, Zhou Zhi was too lazy to tell Li Laoer this, making him feel that threats were not a bad thing, and he would be more family-oriented.
"When I see Wanqiu, I will tell you what I know." Li Laoer also started to have a mystery.
"..."
"The elbow is here? Oh, this is Mai Xiaomiao, right?" When Lin Wanqiu came to Hanhai, she was evaluating a new batch of items. After giving birth, she looked slightly plump and the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, making her look more gentle and intellectual.
"Sister Wanqiu, long time no see, what are you doing?"
"You are here, help me with the work." Lin Wanqiu pointed to the batch of goods in front of me and said, "This batch is an overseas collection, which is entrusted for auction, let's see how it is."
"I heard that there is a new way of playing now?" Zhou Zhi asked, "It's related to tariffs?"
"Yes, what's the saying in the mainland?" Lin Wanqiu didn't care, and even asked Zhou Zhi for a look: "There are policies above and countermeasures below, not everyone is as stupid as you."
Mai Xiaomiao felt similar to Zhou Zhi when he arrived here, and he didn't realize it. Hearing Lin Wanqiu that Zhou Zhi was stupid, he was still a little unhappy: "Eeler is very smart."
"I was joking with Zhangzi." Lin Wanqiu smiled and pulled Mai Xiaomiao to her side and looked at it: "It's different now? He said that someone has protected him. I said that the reason why he was stupid is that he really brought all the cultural relics he had found overseas into China. Not only did he pay very high tariffs, many of them were not able to go out yet, and the loss of income was at least 50%. "But Zhou Zhi waved his hand disregardlessly: "I'm happy to have money."
"What puzzle are you fighting?" Li Laoer found that his wife and Zhou Zhi had communicated extremely smoothly, and he couldn't understand the content, and he was a little scared.
"We are talking about tariffs." Lin Wanqiu gave Li Laoer a blank look: "With the opening of the art auction market in China, many art can enter the Chinese market. The newly revised law also allows overseas antiques to enter the domestic market and become private collectibles."
"Although the state now stipulates that antiques that have been for more than a hundred years can be exempted from tariffs, a 17% landed price is still required as value-added tax."
"So now there is a kind of preservation business. These cultural relics and artworks can be stored in customs bonded areas. Although they enter the country, they are not considered to be passing the customs landed, so that they do not have to pay 17% of the tax."
"Then why are these things coming here again?" Mai Xiaomiao couldn't understand.
Lin Wanqiu smiled and gave the opportunity to Zhou Zhi: "Let the elbow tell you."
"These things were escorted by the customs, but they just showed the appearance of the actual items to all parties participating in the auction. After the exhibition of the items, they would also be escorted back to the tax return area." Zhangzi explained: "These do not affect the progress of the auction."
"But these cultural relics will always return to China in the end." Mai Xiaomiao didn't understand even more: "There are some cultural relics covered with lacquer in Suihuaxuan. You said that Sister Wanqiu helped you take photos from overseas."
"Most people will not do the same as elbows." Lin Wanqiu smiled and said: "Because most customers who participated in the auction value not the cultural relics themselves, but the appreciation space for wealth attached to the cultural relics."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"So they don't need to pass the auction items, but instead entrust the auction house to keep them in the bonded area warehouse, and then auction them in this form when it is convenient to take action."
"The benefits of doing this are actually many. The first is that they don't have to pay 17% of the value-added tax." Lin Wanqiu said: "Some collections are worth tens of millions, and 17% of the tax is millions, which is not a small amount."
"In addition, some collections belong to Important cultural relics, after entering China's borders, will be subject to Chinese laws. If you want them to leave the country in the future, you will encounter various legal obstacles. If you put them in bonded areas, cultural relics are not considered entry and can be transported to other places for transactions at any time. "
"So these cultural relics cannot be considered returning to China." Mai Xiaomiao pointed to the cultural relics in the mobile storage box that were still waiting for Lin Wanqiu to identify and said, "Only those like Suihuaxuan have entered China. Is it right Sister Wanqiu?"
"Yes! That's why I laughed at him as stupid." Lin Wanqiu said: "You have to pay 17% of the tax when you enter the country. If you want to trade abroad in the future, you will have trouble. In addition, there is still a price difference between the domestic and overseas markets. Although the price difference is decreasing with the development of the market, there is still a difference of at least 50% at present."
"In other words, if a collection worth one million is stored in a warehouse in the bonded area, it will not affect the He takes action in the future." Lin Wanqiu said, "If you want to put the elbow in Suihuaxuan or Demiantang, you must first pay 170,000 VAT of 170,000, and then you can only communicate in the domestic market. The collection, which was originally worth one million, has only been worth 500,000."
"Well, it's quite stupid." Mai Xiaomiao blinked her eyes and took Zhou Zhi's arm: "But I prefer such elbows!" (The end of this chapter)
