SB [www, xcxzww, com], which can be remembered in 3 seconds, provides you with the latest and most complete novels to read.

Everyone will make various plans, such as not staying up late today, getting up early tomorrow to code, and climbing a mountain once a week, etc.

But when it comes time to execute, the plan that was made freely will always be forgotten.

Li Daniu used to be such a person, he talked about hype, but when things came to an end, he remained the same without any change.

But since time travel, he has gotten used to replacing promises or plans with actions.

After deciding to set up an auction house freely, Li Daniu immediately started to start, because the earlier the completion, the earlier the funds would arrive in the account, and the adequacy of the funds was directly related to the construction speed of New Tuvalu.

Just an airport with an investment of two billion US dollars, according to the normal construction speed, it will take three to four years, let alone other projects, Li Daniu does not want to wait so long.

If the funds are sufficient, an airport alone can be subdivided into seven or eight items, and then subcontracted to different construction teams, or require the construction team to increase manpower or equipment. Moreover, other projects can also be carried out at the same time. You can't wait for one project to be completed before building another project.

Although the Great Wall cannot be built in a day, there will always be a limit to the construction speed. Li Danian does not want the construction speed of New Tuvalu to be too far away from that limit due to funding problems.

It is very simple to do an auction house, just register one. Registering a company in Tuvalu is a matter of Li Daniu's words.

But this first auction cannot be held in Tuvalu. Let alone whether those rich people are willing to come, even if they really come, Tuvalu does not have the capacity to receive them. Moreover, after people come, how to guarantee the safety issue?

The people who are most afraid of death in this world are often rich people.

After Li Daniu searched some developed cities, he found that there was another problem, and that was the problem of paying taxes.

Even if Li Daniu's auction house is registered in a free country, if the transaction is to be held in other countries, it is inevitable to set up branches in other countries, just like the registered country of TC Entertainment has changed to Tuvalu, but TC Entertainment in the United States has become the US branch of TC Entertainment.

Otherwise, you can't do any business.

The establishment of a branch office means paying taxes. Sotheby's auction house is world-class, but there is still Sotheby's Hong Kong, which pays a lot of taxes to Hong Kong every year.

If you pay taxes, not only will you lose a lot of money, but you will also have to disclose the financial report to the local government. Li Daniu's jewelry is all his own. If you want to disclose the financial report, then others can easily find it. All the money from the auction went to Li Daniu's pocket.

How to explain?

Li Daniu has not yet reached the point where he does not need to explain to anyone.

Then, the auction location can only be placed in one place. After searching the Internet, Li Daniu called Castro.

"Your Majesty, what instructions do you have?" Castro answered very energetically after answering the phone.

"Huh? Why did you get up so early? Isn't it early morning in the United States?"

Castro was speechless, he didn't get up early, but he just saw Li Daniu's phone call, and he was eager to call.

Li Daniu just asked casually, not prepared to listen to Castro's answer, and then said: "Please contact the cruise company for me. I am going to rent a cruise ship for seven days."

"No problem, Your Majesty, how big do you need?"

Li Daniu thought for a while and said directly: "You should contact the largest one first. If the largest one doesn't work, then contact the second largest one, and so on. But there are two requirements. First, the passenger capacity should not be less than 2,000 people. , Second, it must be able to sail to the high seas."

After listening to Li Daniu's request, Castro slapped zìjǐ hard, because he felt that he might be dreaming now, but the severe pain made him believe that what Li Daniu just said was true.

The world's largest? The passenger capacity cannot be less than 2,000 people? What do you rent such a big cruise ship for? Although rich people like to take a group of beauties in bikinis to sea, but if they are exhausted, there are only a few dozen people. Could it be that His Majesty the free king is too lonely because he has no princess, so he plans to take two thousand at a time. Bikini beauty?

Castro organized his language and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you planning to do by renting such a large cruise ship? Because the cruise company will definitely ask."

"Oh, I'm going to start an auction company and hold an auction. I think if it can be held on a luxury cruise ship, it will definitely make a name for itself. Besides, don't you think this is very high-end? The sea, Cruise ships, jewellery, even bikini beauties, all these elements add up to my first auction, and those rich people will definitely spend their money like water."

those rich people? You are rich, right?

Although Castro couldn't understand the thoughts of a rich man like Li Daniu, he was still very active in carrying out Li Daniu's orders.

After hanging up the phone, Castro began to search for information, and then calculated that the time was almost up, and started calling one by one.

After a day of inquiries, Castro gave Li Daniu a clear reply.

"Your Majesty, among the cruise ships currently in use, there are only three that can meet your requirements, the largest of which is the Independence of the Seas, with a capacity of 4,375 passengers, and there is a super-large theater on it that can be used for auctions main venue."

"How much is the rent for seven days?"

"Eight million dollars, you can go to the high seas, they provide technical support and service support. However, you have to make an appointment one and a half months in advance."

Damn, so expensive? Li Daniu remembers that the cost of a cruise ship like this is only about one billion US dollars, and this day it is more than one million US dollars, won't it be earned back in a few years?

In fact, this kind of cruise ship does not make as much money as Li Daniu imagined, not to mention that cruise ships like them all run fixed routes, and it is impossible to be full of guests every time. Just say that the annual maintenance expenditure of this kind of cruise ship, as well as the expenditure of the gōngzuò personnel on board, are very astonishing.

Li Daniu's rent for these seven days is not enough for his maintenance fee for a year.

"Okay, that's it, let's just rent it for seven days after one and a half months." Although Li Daniu thinks it is expensive, when he thinks about the auction proceeds, he will have no pressure at all. Maybe after selling the jewelry, he will have spare money to buy it. ship.

After handing over the matter of leasing the cruise ship to Castro, Li Daniu started poaching people again. After contacting the headhunting company that helped him poach people before, within a day, there were many elite materials engaged in the auction industry. Gave it to Li Daniu.

After screening among them, Li Daniu confirmed a general manager with a very good reputation, and then recruited this person with a high salary. As for other positions that the auction house needs, that is the job of the general manager.

In three days, the auction location and the government personnel needed for the auction were all settled. This is not Li Daniu's high efficiency, but the high efficiency of money.

Next is the issue of publicity. If you want rich people to come and spend, you must let them know how attractive the items in this auction are.

It's a pity that it is impossible for Li Daniu to take out all the jewels at once.

Once in the sea, he took out the jewelry that he had hidden freely. Li Daniu chose a jewelry that looked similar to the previous necklace that sold more than 200 million US dollars, and it was almost the most valuable in all his collections. This is mainly I called Martin, the technical consultant of TC Jewelry, the former GIA appraiser, and within a day, Martin showed up in Tuvalu with GIA people, because this time It is not a private transaction, so all jewelry needs a certificate issued by a credible appraisal institution such as GIA.

The final valuation of this piece of jewelry is 240 million US dollars, but this is only the market price. If it is auctioned, it is really not a big problem to have an extra 10 to 20 million.

After paying the appraisal fee, Li Daniu asked a professional person to take a photo of the jewelry, and sent it to zìjǐ's eyebook together with the appraisal certificate.

"On November 9, TC Auction House in Tuvalu will hold its first jewelry auction. We are waiting for you. In addition, if you need to auction jewelry, please contact me or TC Auction House. For details, please refer to the official website of TC Auction House."

Of course, just the advertisements on the eyebook, the effect will definitely not meet expectations, so Li Daniu arranged for TC Entertainment to start buying almost all the high-end advertising spaces in the world in the past one and a half months.

The theme of the ad is: Rich? Please come to this auction for yours. (To be continued.)
