Oliver did not complain about the boss's words at all, but nodded with deep consent.

Although his boss's so-called "help" does have a bit of a robbery, for Cage, who is deeply in the debt crisis at this time, his boss's actions have indeed helped the other party a lot. At least Cage has the money to repay the tax deduction of US$13.3 million in one fell swoop, thus getting rid of the biggest trouble he has to face.

"It can be said that you really helped him a big favor this time." Oliver looked at Arthur's somewhat puzzled expression and continued to explain with a smile: "For an actor who once had a net worth of $150 million, a tax deduction of less than $14 million does not seem to be a big deal, but according to my understanding, a Hollywood star with a status like Cage will earn at least $30 million a year to make a living.

These numbers seem to be too exaggerated, but that's the truth. According to my friend, Cage's real estate consultant told me that about half of Nicholas Cage's previous net worth came from four movies, "60 Second Movie", "National Treasure", "Snake Eye" and "Wind Whisperer". But that was a few years ago. In other words, Cage now has to take on films like "National Treasure" or reduce his expenses before he can get rid of the debt crisis."

"Ha, no wonder..." Arthur shook his head and sighed with a laugh. Cage's indiscriminate film follow-up in his previous life soon degenerated into the world-famous "king of bad movies". He was nominated for the worst male lead of the "Golden Raspberry Award" many times in a row, and was even called "epic box office poison". His value plummeted to 2 million US dollars, which is desolate.

"To be honest, these celebrities' wealth comes and goes quickly, and they are all very luxurious, consume crazy, and invest indiscriminately, making it difficult to accumulate wealth." Oliver shook his head and sighed, looking at his smiling boss and continued: "Boss, tonight, Nicholas Cage will be invited to attend the dinner you prepared in the Four Seasons Hotel Restaurant. He also told his real estate consultant that he is looking forward to meeting you."

"Well, I'm looking forward to it too." Arthur smiled and nodded, but, under Oliver's series of commentaries, fans' expectations for their idols became less enthusiastic.

After seeing Oliver off, Arthur sat on the boss's chair, pondered for a while, shook his head and laughed slightly. No wonder female celebrities like to marry wealthy businessmen. The fundamental reason is nothing more than that the landlords have no surplus food.

Speaking of Yuliang, the reason why Arthur appeared in the company's office in the rainy days was to give the batch of precious antiques handed over to Da Vader Auction House to auction in Asia.

The auction has ended and is very successful. All Arthur's collections have been successfully traded, and the amount of the auction has also satisfied Arthur very much.

It has to be said that as Arthur initially expected, the halo of a British nobleman and Earl family that had been passed down for hundreds of years made this batch of antiques labeled as preconceived and orderly inheritance, and the return of overseas cultural relics undoubtedly made some large collectors very willing to bid for these antiques in auctions.

Of course, in the eyes of large collectors, the collections sold after being auctioned in the auction house will have legal source certificates and records of auction transactions, which will make it more convenient for future transactions.

Arthur took out his mobile phone and found the email sent to him by the auction house. Looking at the details listed above, Arthur had to sigh. No wonder he said that in the antique market, the wealthy people in the Celestial Kingdom created hundreds of millionaires who "get rich overnight" for the Western International every year.

Qing painter Wang Jian’s landscape album was 370,000 pounds.

"The Collection of Twenty-Four Filial Pieces" by the Qing painter Wang Su 50,000 pounds.

The ancient landscape album of Wang Hui, a painter of Qing Dynasty, was 350,000 pounds.

The Cordyceps album of Wang Shishen, one of the Eight Ecological Eccentrics of Yangzhou painter in the Qing Dynasty, was sold for a shocking 640,000 pounds.

The twenty-eight-side seal stones, except for the eight-sided chicken blood stones, the remaining twenty-two squares were sold, with a total of 1.54 million pounds, with an average of 70,000 pounds per square of seal stones. The total price of the eight-sided chicken blood stones was more than 1.1 million pounds, with a price of more than 130,000 pounds per square.

The reason why the 28-way seals can be sold at such high prices is mainly due to the current warming of seal collections. The number of seal stone buyers suddenly increased, which raised its market price. The price of seal stones generally doubled, and like the bloodstone in Arthur's hand, it even doubled.

Three-legged Xuande Incense Burner, sold for 130,000 pounds.

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Hui Mengchen made a purple clay copper beam lifting pot, and the transaction was 60,000 pounds.

The engraved gilded single-eared double vase made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty was finally sold for 220,000 pounds that left Arthur dumbfounded. You should know that he only spent 4,750 pounds at that time... This time it increased by 46 times!

£4.46 million!

"call"

"Sure enough, the rich people in the Celestial Empire are not short of money!" Arthur shook his head again and sighed, but the curve of the corners of his mouth showed how happy he was at this time.

However, while being happy, he made him sigh and shook his head. In his previous life, he was still impressed by the rich people's behavior of going overseas to buy back national treasures. However, after doing it personally, Arthur understood the true meaning.

To say something that is not afraid of hurting one's self-esteem, in the eyes of Westerners, most of the so-called "national treasures" bought by rich people from abroad are just things lost by an ancient Eastern country next to the road. Even if there are such Yuan blue and white porcelains that are claimed to be "only 300 pieces", which year hasn't they been sold by others?

Arthur even doubted and firmly believed that the so-called official kiln porcelain of Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties would be sold for decades. As long as the rich people were not short of money, all kinds of laughing auction houses would never be out of stock, and maybe they would sell more and more...

As for the value of traditional civilizations that have been highly determined by Westerners... Overseas treasure hunting allows Westerners to see our rise and are full of enthusiasm...

Now in Arthur's view, it is full of unspeakable meaning.

You should know that things that can be bought back are not really high-quality products. The best cultural relics are still in the hands of foreigners. More real national treasures are still in foreign museums. Those things are not sold to you no matter how much you pay!

"Dongdong"

The knock on the door interrupted Arthur's emotion and sigh. He put away his cell phone and said, "Please come in."

"Boss, lawyer James Cronin and the head of Da Vader Auction House have arrived..." The secretary who pushed the door open and reported.

"Please come in." As he said that, Arthur stood up from the boss's chair, buttoned the slogan of his suit, pulled the hem of his lower clothes, walked around to the desk with a smile, and stood straight waiting for the guests to push the door open and enter.

Soon, led by Secretary Jenny, Arthur's personal lawyer James and the person in charge who went to the Grand Vader Auction House in Boling Castle last time walked in.

"Good morning, boss." Lawyer James said first and greeted. Arthur smiled and nodded and signaled, turning his eyes to the person in charge of the Great Vader Auction House, and reached out to shake hands with the other party who hurriedly stepped forward.

"Good morning, respected lord..."

“Good morning…”

After a little greeting, Arthur smiled and reached out to signal the two to take their seats, and asked the secretary to brew drinks according to their requests. When Arthur sat on the boss's chair, he naturally unbuttoned the suit, crossed his hands on the desk, and said with a smile: "I was very happy and surprised after receiving the email from your bank, which exceeded my expectations. It seemed that choosing your bank was an extremely correct thing at the beginning."

"Thank you for your appreciation. It is our honor to be able to cooperate with you. It is a satisfactory and is what we most want to see." The person in charge of the auction house said with a smile.

To be honest, the other party did not expect that the prodigal Count who had thought he was selling his family's collections would suddenly become the hottest billionaire. This shocked and glad that he did not show any rudeness at the beginning. After all, it is very difficult to develop a rich customer worth billionaires.

"Haha, I have read the report. The Asian autumn auction of your store was very successful. Although it is a bit late now, I still want to congratulate you on the success of your store's autumn auction." Arthur said with a smile.

"Thank you, I also want to thank you for the collections you handed over to us for the operation, which enriched our autumn auction collection, especially your set of twenty-eight seal stones, which caused a great sensation, made many collectors flock to it, and made our auction atmosphere very enthusiastic." The person in charge of the auction house responded to Arthur with a smile, and spared no effort to compliment.

"Really, that's great. To be honest, when I saw the amount on the email, I was really surprised. When I sighed about my career's profession, I had to sigh that the current Celestial Empire was really revived." Arthur said as if he was surprised and relieved.

"Indeed, the Celestial Empire has indeed risen now. Since its opening, it has created a large number of wealthy people. Although it feels like a nouveau riche, their investment in antique culture is indeed shocking. However, this is easy to understand. After all, artworks and antiques are the most powerful carriers that can condense wealth and are easier to inherit.

I also have many wealthy friends in the Celestial Empire who are almost fanatical about the ancient civilization heritage of their country..." The person in charge of the auction house shook his head and laughed and continued: "They have feelings that we cannot understand. Although I don't understand, I appreciate and respect their high spirits."

"..." Arthur smiled, without saying anything, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart, "You are admiring them as suckers!"

"Look at me, I was just chatting and almost forgot about the matter. Count Arthur, your lot is worth 4.46 million pounds this time. According to our previous agreement, our bank charges a commission of 10%, 446,000 pounds. This is a check of 4.014,000 pounds. Please check it out." The person in charge of the auction house said, and took out an envelope from his briefcase and handed it to Arthur with both hands.
