Chapter 278 A Very Ridiculous Thing

The real estate agent at the side looked at Annie in surprise, who was covering her face with a black gauze draped hat.

Don't young girls of this era like the ultimate luxury style?

I think of a previous client who used gold but never pure copper.

Even the master bedroom uses gold in a large area, and I can't wait to tell everyone that he is a rich man.

And Li Changheng certainly knew what Annie was worried about.

Not to mention the royal family and nobles at this time, decades ago, the nobles knew that their situation was not very good.

Low-key luxury has been popular for a long time, and even the color of red is rarely used, let alone gold.

"Don't you want to see the high-rise suites in Manhattan, or other houses?"

Annie shook her head with a smile, and when she was about to speak, the real estate manager on the side spoke.

"Sir, madam, this manor is the house for sale in West and South Hampton. It occupies the largest area, and the garden landscape in the manor is the most exquisite, elegant, and the most complete ancillary facilities.

Even if it covers an area of ​​200,000 square meters, the largest French-style manor on the entire Long Island is not comparable to this one in terms of gardens and manor care.

As for the upper floors of Manhattan, by the time you get to the summer, you know it's never a good place to live.

Not only is it noisy, but the exhaust of a large number of cars will also cause chronic damage to the body.

And, when you and your wife have a baby, a lot of space and fresh, clean air is the best environment to grow up in. "

Li Changheng turned away with some dissatisfaction, and glanced at the real estate manager who interrupted Annie.

Then the gazes of Barney, Trenches and other big guys suddenly made the back of his head go cold, and then he said sorry words with embarrassment and anxiety.

"Henry".

Annie was probably embarrassed by the words 'Madam and child', and she shook Li Changheng's hand in secret joy.

Then habitually follow the lenient attitude cultivated by the royal family in order to get close to ordinary people.

"My dear, this gentleman is right, wait, when the children are born and grow up, they will definitely prefer grass, horse farms, beaches and yachts.

Moreover, when you go to work in the future, it is more suitable to park the helicopter here.

We can even build a small airport if you like.

If necessary, you can drive a P51 or a small private jet to work in other states, and you can fly home directly in the afternoon. "

Li Changheng would take Annie to see the manor first, and of course he was also moved by the size and the scenery inside the manor.

The main building is not important, what is important is that the large area is the most rare.

In the future, no real estate agent will reserve 12 acres of land and only build a manor.

It must be built dozens of large townhouses with grasslands and separated by tens of meters to sell separately.

And if the 19 million US dollars is converted in gold, this manor can be worth 700 to 800 million US dollars.

Even if calculated based on the local salary increase in New York, it can be worth about 400 to 500 million

And if it is placed in Los Angeles, it can be worth more.

Li Changheng looked at Annie, and Annie nodded with a smile, "I like it here except for the interior decoration and some minor flaws."

"OK", Li Changheng asked the real estate manager with a smile, "15 million US dollars, how about the full amount?"

"This, this,,".

Of course, the real estate manager cares most about the transaction, otherwise, even if the quotation is 100 million, it will be a waste of effort if you don’t get the commission.

"I need to call a client, sir."

Li Changheng nodded with a smile. The house was built in November last year, and the new owner had only lived in it for three months before it had to be sold.

There must be a big problem.

Then Li Changheng thought about how to rationalize the money for buying a house.

The tax system in the United States is that individuals file their own taxes.

How much you declare will be taxed according to what you declare first, and then check whether there is any tax evasion.

And it's still a spot check.

Of course, if someone reports it, or commits a crime, or is sued, then the US tax staff will definitely follow up and investigate.

It's a ridiculous thing to say.

Selling books in the United States is not a felony, but 100% tax evasion is a felony.

When the prisoner is caught, or feels like he is about to be caught.

The first thing they or their lawyers do is not to find evidence to file a lawsuit, but to file taxes.

Write down any income from last year, whether it is legal or illegal, and then go and pay the tax with the money behind your back.

Otherwise, once the untaxed cash is found at home or in a place where the money is hidden, a sentence starting at ten years will be waiting for you.

This means that taxpayers in the U.S. don’t care where your money comes from, and they won’t even report that your legal income doesn’t match your real income.

Therefore, as long as Li Changheng declares the money for buying the manor before the tax declaration deadline in April, the US tax will not care how you earn it.

As for tax rebates for consumption, and how to prevent American taxation from causing trouble, that is a matter for lawyers and accountants.

Half an hour later, the real estate manager walked back quickly with a smile on his face and said.

"Sir, the $17 million manor is not only yours, but also two sailing boats and a 12-meter fishing boat docked at the manor dock.

Also the two cars on the estate and anything that appears on the estate is yours. "

Li Changheng curled his lips amusedly, "What's the use of those second-hand rags?"

Then he pointed to the main building and said, "Maybe I will demolish this building. I just bought a piece of land where I can build a house for 15 million."

"This, this," the real estate manager wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel depressedly, "You, if you are willing to open the right to visit the house.

I can get people to buy boats, cars, furniture and other things from houses and estates.

This should fetch around $500,000. "

Li Changheng suddenly thought of those second-hand dealers in New York, and then wondered if he should find someone to take a look, so as not to be taken advantage of by others.

"No, it's only 17 million, and my lawyer will contact you."

After sending away the real estate agent holding a deposit check of 1 million US dollars, Li Changheng took Annie and began to observe the main building again.

And Annie saw Li Changheng staring at an oil painting in the corridor.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't look at it, my dear, this must be a painting by an unknown oil artist who was hung up by the real estate brokerage company.

The oil painting that was originally hung here must have been taken away by the former owner. "

Li Changheng didn't blush, but looked at the smiling Annie suspiciously.

"Do you know how to appreciate art?"

Annie pouted with some dissatisfaction, "Don't forget, my father has several master-level art consultants.

I have seen and listened to a lot, and I am definitely better than you in art appreciation. "

These words immediately reminded Li Changheng of the Cambridge Five, the only one who remained in London.

Two of the three before and after escaped to the polar bear in 1951, and one escaped to the polar bear in 1963.

And this old man who served as Philip's art consultant, in fact, has been suspected by MI6 since 1963 because of his excellent relationship with the third escaped person.

But without evidence, MI6 would not dare to interrogate and arrest a Cambridge professor casually, and he is also a royal adviser and a nobleman who has won the title of knight.

However, his results were not great.
