Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

After agreeing on the price and plan.

Zhang Long immediately contacted the accounting firm that cooperated with the auction house.

This accounting firm has an office located in Panjiayuan.

Zhang Long hung up the phone less than 3 minutes later.

A young man dressed in a black suit and white shirt, carrying a briefcase, looking every bit the elite, arrived at Boya Auction House.

After Zhang Long exchanged brief greetings with the other party, the man took out a notebook from his briefcase and began to perform compliant tax calculations for today's transactions.

The results came out quickly.

Jiang Tao needs to pay a whopping 401 million yuan in taxes today!
Looking at this number, even Jiang Tao, who is now very wealthy, couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Good heavens, he paid over four million in taxes in one go, and that's the price of a small apartment in Beijing!"

Of course, while he felt sorry for Jiang Tao, as a law-abiding citizen, he wouldn't consider tax evasion.

I only spent less than 17 yuan to buy two Zisha teapots.

They got it from Zhang Bo's family and sold it for 2000 million yuan.

Even after deducting the 400 million yuan in personal income tax, you'll still get 1600 million yuan!

The profit is almost 100 times!

Jiang Tao's speed in making money is something most people can only dream of.

1600 million is a huge sum of money for anyone.

In just over two hours, I earned more money than most people could earn in several lifetimes. What more could I ask for?

Be content and happy!

Money is something you can't take with you when you die.

I've already earned enough money to last a lifetime.

Furthermore, there is a steady stream of funds coming in every day.

Jiang Tao would certainly not risk ruining his reputation for a mere 400 million yuan in personal income tax.

God knows what you did.

Those big stars in the entertainment industry who evaded taxes, didn't they all end up being blown to pieces by the very time bombs they planted themselves?
In the end, not only did they have to pay the missed taxes, but their reputation was also ruined.

She went from being a top star to being completely ignored.

Although Jiang Tao didn't intend to pursue an entertainment career, as his influence grew, he became increasingly protective of his reputation.

While abiding by laws and regulations, do some good deeds within your own capabilities that can benefit more people and enhance your own influence.

For example, the charity canteen that Jiang Tao mentioned to Jiang Xinguo yesterday is part of accumulating merit for himself.

After calculating the tax amount, Jiang Tao directly entrusted the tax payment to the certified public accountant that Zhang Long had called.

Finally, he received a cash check from Zhang Long for 1604 million yuan.

"Jiang Tao, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

"Pleasant to work with."

After the transaction was completed, Jiang Tao and Zhang Long shook hands, both with enthusiastic smiles on their faces.

"Uncle Zhang, Xiao Bo, it's almost lunchtime. I'm treating everyone to lunch today. Let's go to Jinghua Pavilion for a meal."

Jiang Tao raised his hand and glanced at the Richard Mille watch on his wrist. Before he knew it, it was already around 11:30 a.m.

"How could I let you treat me! It's all on me! Thank you, Jiang Tao, for your continued support of our business!"

Zhang Long glanced at his son and Jiang Tao, then said seriously:
"It's really a blessing for my son Xiaobo to have you as a friend."

Zhang Bo laughed from the side:
"Yeah, Brother Jiang, my dad's treating us to dinner today! Let's go to Jinghua Pavilion! To be honest, I've only ever heard of it, I've never been there before!"

Jiang Tao laughed heartily, "Haha, I said I'd treat, this meal is on me today, Uncle Zhang can treat next time."

Zhang Long and his son exchanged a glance; they both understood the unquestionable tone in Jiang Tao's words.

"Alright then! I'll treat you next time!"

Zhang Long stopped being polite with Jiang Tao and readily agreed.

"Then I'll take advantage of Brother Jiang's reputation today and go see just how luxurious the legendary Jinghua Pavilion really is!"

Zhang Bo didn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Tao and said with a smile.

Jiang Tao looked at Zhang Long, then changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, Uncle Zhang, you have extensive connections in Beijing. Do you know any wine sommeliers?"

"A wine sommelier? I do know him."

When Zhang Long heard Jiang Tao suddenly mention sommeliers, he was immediately puzzled.

Zhang Bo looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Jiang? Why do you need a sommelier?"

“Uncle Zhang and Xiao Bo, you two are not outsiders, so it’s fine to talk to you about it.”

"Yesterday, when I took a friend to Jinghua Pavilion for dinner, we ordered a bottle of 90 Romanée-Conti."

"When I was drinking it, I always felt that the taste of the wine was not quite right."

Jiang Tao didn't mince words with Zhang Long and his son; he directly told them about the red wine.

"Ah? No way!"

"Jinghua Pavilion shouldn't make such a basic mistake!"

After listening to Jiang Tao's account of the events, both Zhang Long and his son showed expressions of surprise.

Although the father and son had never dined at Jinghua Pavilion, they had long heard of its high standards.

Those who go there to eat are at least top-tier wealthy individuals with assets in the tens of millions.

After all, if you don't have that kind of wealth, you can't even get past their threshold.

How could counterfeit alcohol appear in such a high-end place?
Jiang Tao shrugged and said, "Yeah, I also think that a place like Jinghua Pavilion wouldn't sell fake alcohol."

"But something still felt off, so I thought I'd bring a professional over to help me check it out."

"Well, although Jinghua Pavilion has a great reputation, no one can guarantee that there are absolutely no problems. It's right to be skeptical."

Zhang Long nodded and continued, "Speaking of wine sommeliers, what a coincidence! I have an old buddy's daughter who does this job, and she's incredibly professional!"

"Should I call her and ask her to come over?"

Zhang Long confirmed one last thing with Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao nodded and said, "Let her come over."

"Okay, I'll call her right now."

After Zhang Long finished speaking, he took out his phone and made a call.

"Lily, I'm here..."

Zhang Long hung up the phone less than 10 minutes later

One person was carrying a small, professional wine tasting tool bag.
A woman who looked to be in her late twenties walked calmly into the Boya Auction House.

The woman was wearing a smart navy blue business suit.

She was very tall, and her long hair was neatly tied up in a bun at the back of her head.

Her delicate face was adorned with professional light makeup, and a pair of thin-rimmed gold-wire glasses perched on her small, high-bridged nose.

Her eyes were sharp yet calm, giving her an intellectual and professional air.

"Uncle Zhang, Xiao Bo, it's been a long time."

After entering the room, Jiang Li greeted Zhang Long and his son with a smile.

"Jiang Tao, let me introduce you. This is Jiang Li, the daughter of the old friend I just mentioned!"

"Don't let Lily's young age fool you, she's a certified sommelier, she has that kind of certificate again?"

Zhang Long looked at Jiang Li and asked questions as he introduced her.

Jiang Li smiled and added, "WSET Level 4."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the WSET Level 4. Lily's dad said it's equivalent to a doctoral degree in the wine industry!"

Zhang Long proudly introduced it to Jiang Tao:
"Lily has won numerous awards in wine tasting competitions both domestically and internationally; she's a top-tier professional sommelier in the industry!" "Nice to meet you, Ms. Jiang."

Jiang Tao smiled and extended his hand to Jiang Li. He naturally felt a sense of goodwill towards this woman who shared the same name as his wife but had a different surname.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Long continued, "Lily, let me introduce you. This is Jiang Tao, also a distinguished guest of our family."

Jiang Li smiled slightly and said softly:

"Uncle Zhang, I've heard of Jiang Shen's name for a long time, and I'm even a fan of his."

"It's an honor to meet you in person. You look even younger and more charming than you do online."

Jiang Li reached out and shook hands with Jiang Tao, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration for him.

"Haha, Miss Jiang, you flatter me. Thank you for your help today."

Jiang Tao laughed it off and didn't continue the topic.

Recently, as he completed various special missions, his charm value soared by dozens of points.

Naturally, he now exudes even more charm.

This can be seen from the fact that Jiang Li held his hand for a long time without letting go.

"You're too kind. It's my pleasure to serve you."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, she gently released Jiang Tao's hand, allowing him to successfully pull away.

Jingle Bell--

Just as Jiang Li finished speaking, Jiang Tao's cell phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw that the first name on the caller ID was "Silly Wife".

When the accountant was calculating the taxes, Jiang Tao sent Xu Li a message, inviting her to lunch together that day.

Yesterday I took He Jing to experience the luxury of Jinghua Pavilion, and today I'm taking Xu Li there to experience it too.

The moment Jiang Tao swiped to connect the call, Xu Li's voice came through the receiver:

"Honey, I'm already inside the market, but I can't find Zhang Bo's house. Could you come out and meet me?"

"Ah! I see it, I see it! No need to come out, I see it, I'll be right there."

Xu Li hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

"My wife is here, I'll go out and greet her."

Jiang Tao said something to the others, then turned and walked towards the door.

As soon as Jiang Tao stepped out of the Boya Auction House, he saw Xu Li waving at him as she walked quickly towards him.

"Husband~"

Xu Li stepped forward and affectionately took Jiang Tao's arm, a happy smile on her pretty face.

Xu Li had clearly dressed up carefully for this lunch.

Wearing a new Chanel dress, Xu Li, who already possesses both beauty and elegance, looked even more radiant.

Wherever she goes, she is the most eye-catching person in the crowd.

Xu Li's charm score of 98 points is truly genuine, without any exaggeration!
"Let's go, honey. Uncle Zhang and Zhang Bo are inside. Let's meet them and then we'll leave."

Jiang Tao smiled and said something to Xu Li, and the two of them went into the negotiation room inside the auction house together.

"so beautiful!"

When Xu Li entered the room, even Jiang Li, who was also a woman, was amazed.

Originally, she thought that with her beauty, temperament, and family background, plus her initiative to pursue him, she could succeed.

Capturing Jiang Tao should be quite easy.

However, the moment she saw Xu Li, the thought that had just sprouted in her mind was instantly extinguished.

Even Jiang Li, who is usually very confident in her looks and figure, became less confident in front of Xu Li.

It's no exaggeration to say that Jiang Li and Xu Li are not even in the same league when it comes to beauty.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

When Zhang Bo saw Xu Li enter, he greeted her warmly.

Xu Li responded with a smile, "Hello, Zhang Bo."

"Uncle Zhang, Miss Jiang, this is my wife, Xu Li."

"Honey, this is Uncle Zhang, whom I often mention to you. He's also Zhang Bo's father."

"This is Ms. Jiang Li, a senior sommelier."

"Hello Ms. Xu, it's an honor to meet you."

"Jiang Tao, you're so lucky to have married such a beautiful wife. Hello, Xiao Xu, you're a great match for Jiang Tao."

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Zhang."

After Xu Li, Zhang Long, and Jiang Li greeted each other, everyone got to know each other.

"It's getting late, let's head out. We can eat and chat later."

"it is good."

"set off!"

After chatting for a while, at Jiang Tao's suggestion, the group split into three cars and headed towards Jinghua Pavilion.

When the magnificent three gilded characters "Jinghua Pavilion" reappeared before my eyes.

Apart from Jiang Tao, the others all showed varying degrees of amazement on their faces.

Although Zhang Long is a seasoned collector, he has only heard of private clubs like Jinghua Pavilion, but rarely has the opportunity to enter.

It was also Zhang Bo and Jiang Li's first time in such a place, and they both had a barely perceptible excitement on their faces.

After the three cars were parked, Jiang Tao led the group toward the main entrance of Jinghua Pavilion.

The two tall, slender girls in cheongsams standing at the entrance clearly remembered Jiang Tao, their platinum VIP customer.

The two said in unison, "Jinghua Pavilion welcomes Mr. Jiang once again!"

Jiang Tao looked at one of them and said in a calm tone:
"Please call the account manager surnamed Mu who was in charge of entertaining me yesterday."

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment."

Soon, Mu Xuezhen, a graceful account manager dressed in a cheongsam, quickly came out to greet them.

She was the one who hosted Jiang Tao and He Jing yesterday.

When I saw that the woman next to Jiang Tao had changed, and she was just as beautiful.

Mu Xuezhen merely praised him in her heart, her expression showing no unusual reaction.

"Mr. Jiang, welcome to Jinghua Pavilion! It is our honor to have you visit us again."

Jiang Tao nodded and said calmly:

"Manager Mu, please arrange a quiet private room. These are my distinguished guests today."

“Okay, Mr. Jiang, please follow me.”

Mu Xuezhen dared not delay and quickly led everyone through the many corridors to a suite that was more spacious and private than yesterday's "Yu Tang Chun".

After taking his seat, Jiang Tao didn't even bother to look at the menu. He waved his hand dismissively and said to Mu Xuezhen:

"Today I want the chef's customized set meal that costs 99999, which comes with a case of Moutai liquor."

"Also, bring me the bottle of red wine I left here yesterday."

There's a high chance that today's lunch will be free, so Jiang Tao went straight for the most expensive set meal.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment, I will arrange it for you right away."

Upon hearing Jiang Tao's words, Mu Xuezhen's eyes lit up, and she bowed and left the room to make arrangements for him.

Yesterday's unintentional act of storing the wine has become a key factor in Jiang Tao's rights protection efforts today.

Without that half-bottle of wine, there would be no evidence today, and pursuing legal action would be extremely difficult. (End of Chapter)
