The price of a piece of art is directly related to the auction house. The larger and more qualified auction house is, the better it can attract wealthy customers.

  Qin Shiou believes that if this statue of Perseus and Medusa is handed over to Sotheby's or Sotheby's, he will eventually get at least 10% more money than the Ricci auction house.

However, he still decided to hand over the auction rights of this statue to Ricci's auction house. Firstly, Xiaobu felt very good to him; secondly, Ricci's auction house was willing to cut 7% of auction fees; thirdly, Ricci's The auction house is willing to pay him a deposit of 10 million in advance, which is the most important.

  The current Qin Shiou is too short of money and can't even pay the will tax.

  After Qin Shiou agreed, Xiao Bu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He unbuttoned his suit and asked, "Man, then we will go to the bank to transfer money and sign the contract by the way, how about it?"

Ricci's auction house values ​​this bronze statue very much. Now they are entering the art auction field and desperately need a pioneer to attract customers. There is no doubt that the statues of Perseus and Medusa can be perfectly qualified for this. Important task.

  After the two parties negotiated, Xiao Blake directly took out the auction contract, and at the same time invited Qin Shiou to sit on his Mercedes-Benz S600 and go to the small town bank to transfer the money.

  Qin Shiou did the shopkeeper, Auerbach took a look at the contract and said, "Robert, this is not possible. My boss is Chinese, so our contract is not only in English, but also in Chinese."

Canada is an immigrant country with a world-renowned multiculturalism. The populations of Chinese, Indian, European, Asian and African descent are very large, so the language used is also a bit confusing. Among them, the number of people using English is the largest, so English It is the official language of this country.

  Little Blake annoyed: “Damn it, it’s our omission. Don’t worry, I’ll call the head of our legal department. I believe that when we arrive at the bank, the Chinese version of the contract is already there waiting for us.”

  Qin Shiou gave Auerbach a thumbs up, the latter smiled indifferently, and said: "Boss, what you need to choose now is a storage bank. Which bank do you plan to deposit the money in?"

  Farewell town is not big, but there are many banks. There are four branches, namely Royal Bank of Canada, Scotiabank, Bank of Montreal, and Imperial Bank of Canada.

  Qin Shiou was recommended by Auerbach and chose Bank of Montreal.

  This is the oldest bank in Canada. It has a history of nearly two hundred years. It issued the first banknote in Canada. This bank is also one of the top ten banks in North America and is very reliable.

  When applying for a bank card, Qin Shiou took out his Chinese ID card and passport. Seeing this, the bank manager Tyron asked: "Why, don't you immigrate?"

  Little Black also had a look of doubt, and said: "Qin, my buddy, I thought you had already gone through the immigration procedures, so it would be more troublesome."

  Qin Shiou asked: "What's the matter?"

Auerbach explained: "The auction items are subject to tax. If you auction this statue as a Chinese, you will have to pay taxes to the governments of Newfoundland, Canada and your country. The money you get It may be less than half."

   "I suggest that you immigrate to Newfoundland, my child. That can save you a lot of money. Not only do you don't have to pay taxes to your national government, but the tax that the Canadian government can collect will also be drastically reduced." Taylor suggested.

  Change of nationality is a big event, but Qin Shiou is not very disgusted with this point. He is not a party member or a civil servant, but just a citizen of the bottom of society. It is normal to live well.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Shiou instructed Auerbach to help him with the procedures for transferring his nationality. He was still a little worried and asked: "I heard that Canada now has strict immigration management and almost only accepts technical talents. I can Are you eligible?"

Auerbach smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. Say goodbye to the town government and wait for you to immigrate. There are too few people willing to take over these fisheries. If you take over Daqin Fisheries, this will not only bring taxes to the government but also provide employment. Post, the government certainly welcomes your immigration."

  Qin Shiou asked about the procedures required for immigration, Auerbach said: "You don't need to manage these, I will prepare them for you, and you can sign a few documents in the afternoon."

  After hearing this, Qin Shiou was at a loss. When did he prepare for the immigration procedures?

   Auerbach took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, smiling like an old fox, and said: "I knew you would immigrate eventually, so when I helped you get your passport before, these procedures were also smoothly done."

  Qin Shiou is speechless: Uncle, do you know how to tell a fortune?

  After staying for about half an hour, the temporary bank card was issued. It is a golden bank of Montreal savings gold card. After his nationality transfer procedures are completed, he needs to come back and change the card, and switch to a dual-use credit card.

  Getting the card, Qin Shiou went to the ATM to check it, and a series of ‘0’s on the screen almost blinded him.

Everything is just like a dream. It seems that a second ago, he was still in the rental house in the island city, worrying about the monthly rent of 1,000 yuan, but this second he has a big fishery and a bank card worth tens of millions of Canadian dollars. .

   "Life is like a dream. This is the unknown of life." Qin Shiou couldn't help sighing while looking at the golden card in his hand.

  He first transferred 100,000 yuan to his parents. He did not dare to transfer too much for fear of frightening the two. This 100,000 yuan was the company’s resettlement allowance, and he might want to work abroad in the future.

  Strictly speaking, this ten million is a loan given to him by Ritchie Auction House, because the artwork has not yet been auctioned, so he does not need to pay taxes yet.

  After the transfer, Qin Shiou happily signed the contract, and at noon he invited Xiao Blake and others to dinner at Daddy Hickson’s restaurant.

  Auerbach introduced to Little Black and others: “This is the most historic restaurant in Farewell town. The owner and chef have been passed down from generation to generation and represent the purest seafood flavor of our Farewell Island."

Obviously, these old guys are very familiar. After seeing Auerbach, Hickson came up and gave him a bear hug, and then happily asked, "What can I do today? Hi, dear Xiao Qin, see You are so happy."

   After saying hello, Papa Hickson began to show off his specialties. Appetizers such as gravy cheese fries, coffee crumbled jelly, dried cheese vegetable salad and other appetizers were served first.

  Even though it is just an appetizer, each dish is made with ingenuity. The French fries are golden and the gravy is rich. This dish has a strong fragrance before it is eaten.

  As for the coffee jelly, Papa Hickson will cut the coffee jelly into pieces, put them in a glass, and decorate the jelly with mint leaves. The look is very beautiful, and the natural taste is better when it drinks.

  Little Blake drank coffee jelly and ate fries and salad, and exclaimed: "It tastes great, guys, I must say, this is a delicious gift from God!"

  At this time, the wine was also delivered. Auerbach raised the bright red wine and said to Daddy Hickson: "Respect to the God who gave us food, to Hickson who helped God to cook the kitchen, and to the generous and generous Qin!"

  A group of people raised their glasses one after another, and the old man with pigtails laughed from ear to ear.

After eating the appetizers, you can enjoy the dinner, such as geoduck sashimi, Canadian fried chicken nuggets, secret sauce smoked salmon, Brome lake duck, blueberry **** and other delicacies are brought up like running water, and everyone eats It's so fun.

  Qin Shiou’s favorite is the ice wine made by Father Hickson himself. This wine can be called Canada’s national wine, and because Newfoundland is closer to the north, this kind of wine is more popular.

Seeing Qin Shiou toast frequently, Old Hickson was very happy and introduced his baby: "This is the secret wine passed down from generation to generation by the Hickson family. The grapes must always be left on the vine to make it mature. , And then wait until the cold current comes and the temperature drops to minus eight degrees before picking. At this time, the water in the fruit is frozen, and the sugar content is the highest. Wait until this time to squeeze the juice and brew, the taste is absolutely the most beautiful !"

  Ice wine has a low alcohol concentration and is not as strong as the common white wine in the cold zone, but because it is also from white wine, it has the unique floral aroma of white wine. In addition, the main ingredient of this wine is grape juice, which has the smell of ripe fruit. The aroma of the wine and the fruity aroma are entwined, and the natural beauty is unacceptable.

Qin Shiou has a good drinker, and Auerbach is very happy to see him drinking, saying, "You are the same as Lao Qin. He also likes to drink Hickson's ice wine the most, and he likes to go with desserts, blue cheese, and Chinese suckling pig. Roasted pork, siu-mei, and money chicken are grilled with preserves. Next time, let the old guy Hickson give you a taste."

  Papa Hickson scratched his head. He is not in a very good restaurant now. Suckling pigs and money chickens are not in stock.

  The guests and hosts enjoyed this meal. After the meal, Little Black will return to Toronto to prepare for the auction soon, while Qin Shiou will go back to sleep.

  Woke up after a good night's sleep, Qin Shiou began to ambitiously build a fishing ground. Now he has 10 million Canadian dollars in his hand, and his waist suddenly becomes hard.

  However, the top priority is to connect fisheries to the Internet. For young people in the 21st century, the lack of Internet is too painful.

  Qin Shiou found out that the most famous local telecommunications companies in Canada are ROGER, TTC, TELUS, FIDO, and KOODO.

Among them, ROGERS is equivalent to China Mobile, the company has the strongest strength, the most users, the widest resources, but the highest charges; TELUS is the same as China Unicom, the signal is slightly worse, but the service price is relatively low, and it is aimed at ordinary people; FIDO KOODO and KOODO are relatively weakest, but they often do activities, so they have won many customers.

  Qin Shiou is not short of money, so he went directly to the ROGERS business hall in the town to do fiber optics for a year, and bought an Apple all-in-one by the way.

He bought an Apple iMac-MF886CH/A computer. This computer sold for nearly 20,000 in China, but it was only less than 2,500 Canadian dollars in Farewell Town, which is more than 10,000 yuan in RMB. The reason why Newfoundland pays state taxes, otherwise lower.

  I have to say that in capitalist countries, as long as you have money, you can do things. After Qin Shiou paid the money in the ROGERS business hall, an engineer took the workers to his fishery to lay fiber optic lines.

The price of this optical fiber line is not low, it is 500 yuan more expensive than the Apple computer, because the fishery has been abandoned for more than ten years, only ordinary broadband network lines, no optical fiber lines, and the line transformation in the town did not extend to that far. Go to the fishery.
