At this moment, the office door opened and a secretary came out:
"Director Lin, we have already discussed it."
Lin Sanqi led everyone into the conference room. As soon as they sat down, they saw that Sun Zhejie, the president of Guoyu Group, still had a red face.
"Director Lin, we've reached an agreement. We can complete the deal with 200 billion yuan. The conditions remain unchanged. From now on, Lingnan Hall is prohibited from selling a single piece of Hetian jade to the market. Furthermore, the other jade in your warehouse is also not allowed to be sold to outsiders."
Lin Sanqi frowned when he heard this:
"Mr. Sun, I can't agree to this condition. I've already given you the Hetian jade at a low price. I won't sell the other jades. Am I keeping them for my own enjoyment? They are also valuable assets worth hundreds of billions. Your condition is a bit overbearing."
Sun Zhejie smiled and soothed:
"Mr. Lin, you misunderstood. Our intention is that if you want to sell the jade, we, the top ten jade merchants, will take it over. However, your annual jade sales cannot exceed 20 billion. We really can't afford more than that."
Lin Sanqi was still worried and asked, "What if I want to sell it and you don't want to buy it?"
Sun Zhejie answered confidently:
"If we don't take it over, we'll be in breach of contract. You can sell it to someone else. The fault is ours, but we won't stop Mr. Lin from getting rich, right?"
Lin Sanqi nodded: "In that case, I can agree to your condition."
Sun Zhejie also said:
"As for how to pay, we don't have enough cash at once. Can we pay with overseas funds? We also need to use gold to replace part of the payment."
Lin Sanqi's eyes lit up, and he knew that domestic companies were all old foxes and it was impossible for them to keep all their funds in the country.
"Mr. Sun means that we complete the transaction overseas?"
Sun Zhejie nodded and said, "Yes, we will pay you 10 billion US dollars overseas. Director Lin, don't tell me that your Lingnan Hall doesn't have an overseas account?"
Lin Sanqi smiled awkwardly: "Well, well, of course there is."
In fact, what Lin Sanqi was thinking was that it was not surprising that the other nine companies were private enterprises having overseas accounts, but your Guoyu Group actually also had overseas accounts. Does the secretary-general know about this?
Capital matters are indeed too complicated, too scary, and too challenging for people's hearts.
"Also, we'll probably have tens of billions of dollars to replace with gold. Is that okay with Director Lin?"
Lin Sanqi quickly said, "No problem, no problem."
Of course I have no objection. When sending US dollars out, the handling fee is 20%. If it is pure gold, my own golden finger can come into play and I don’t have to pay a penny.
Lin Sanqi is ready to swallow up 10 billion US dollars overseas and tens of billions of RMB in gold.
As for the mismatching accounts, what does it matter if the so-called 135 billion yuan is not enough? Our own ginseng and cordyceps sales are tens of billions a year, so just fill in this amount and it will be enough to launder the money.
Another advantage of this is that Lin Sanqi no longer has to go through the trouble of exchanging foreign currency, and can save 20% in handling fees. With this money saved, he can buy a lot of second-hand equipment.
As for overseas funds, Lin Sanqi originally wanted to keep a minimum of US$5 billion, but now it seems that he has to keep more than US$20 billion for his own guarantee, as there are still antiques and curios that have not been auctioned yet.
Sun Zhejie was also in a good mood when he saw that both parties had reached an agreement: "Then Director Lin, we have a happy cooperation."
Lin Sanqi also stood up and shook hands with several jade bosses one by one: "Happy cooperation, and may everyone make a fortune."
The transaction was completed and the contract was signed.
In the following days, the acquisition funds and gold arrived one after another, and Lin Sanqi was very happy to collect the money.
In the underground vault of Plaza de Mayo, cars went in and out, carrying away thousands of tons of Hetian jade, leaving not a single piece behind.
This transaction has been kept secret, and neither party has made it public. Otherwise, it would definitely have made financial headlines, and Lingnantang Company would have been a golden baby in the eyes of some people.
But the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
As Lin Sanqi expected, one morning, several men in executive jackets came to his door.
In the office of the chairman of Lingnan Hall, Lin Tianhua and Yin Lianyi, as the company's senior executives and financial director, sat obediently on the sofa waiting for inquiries.
Seven or eight people wearing executive jackets sat upright with serious faces, looking through relevant documents. These were all relevant certificates about jade from "1962".
Moreover, they not only looked through the documents, but also took out an old seal from 1962 from the file bag as a copy and made a preliminary comparison with the documents in hand. It was obvious that they came prepared.
It’s easy to say as long as the seals match.
If the documents don't match, they will take them away and conduct professional appraisals on the paper, handwriting, and seals. They are very rigorous in their work and will definitely make you convinced in the end.
Lin Tianhua and Yin Lianyi still felt a little guilty. The huge sum of 200 billion yuan was suffocating them.
Lin Sanqi crossed his legs and watched how the relevant departments worked like a bystander. It was his first time in his life to come into contact with the mysterious relevant departments, so he was naturally very interested.
In another era, he was a director-general, had seen many big scenes, and had the aura of a superior.
After a long while, several men in executive jackets nodded to each other, and the atmosphere in the room instantly eased.
One of the leading middle-aged executives in jackets laughed and said:
"Chairman Lin, don't be nervous. This is just a routine matter. For a major taxpayer and star enterprise like Lingnan Hall, as long as it operates legally, we will do our utmost to protect the interests of your company. Don't worry about that.
But every country has its own laws. Since we have doubts, we must investigate.
Investigate thoroughly and prove the legitimate origins of these jades. This way, you, Lingnan Hall, can operate with confidence, and we can report to our superiors."
Lin Sanqi chuckled and acted like a shy college student:
"I understand. I was born in New China and raised under the red flag. I'm a good young man of the new era. I won't do anything illegal or disorderly. Besides, thanks to the blessings of my ancestors and the support of my family, Lingnan Hall is what it is today. Chief Song, what about these documents..."
Section Chief Song smiled, leaned back in his chair and said casually:
"There's nothing wrong with the documents. We specially obtained a copy of the seal rubbing and compared them. They're indeed identical. This is the relevant expert, Ding. He can't be wrong. So you've passed."
Before Lin Sanqi could say anything, Section Chief Song said:
"However, there are still many questions about this batch of jade, but our policy is not to pursue past matters. As long as you can provide legal proof, this batch of jade will belong to your Lingnan Hall, and we will not interfere with anything else.
However, such a large transaction involves 200 billion yuan in funds, a large part of which is state-owned capital. So we still have to ask, how do you, Lingnan Hall, plan to use this money? "
When Lin Tianhua and Lin Sanqi heard this, they frowned, because every business operation has its own secrets and does not want outsiders to know.
Section Chief Song was also a shrewd person. When he saw the unhappy expressions of the two executives opposite him, he explained:
"President Lin, Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand. We will not interfere with the normal operations of the company. We just need to grasp the general direction.
Even if you say you're planning to replace it with a silver winter melon and hide it under the bed, that's fine. We'll just report it to our superiors, and we have no control over whether they believe it or not."
Hehe, everyone in the conference room chuckled. It was obvious that Section Chief Song was quite humorous.
But Lin Sanqi wouldn't take it seriously. If he really didn't want to interfere, why would he ask so many questions?
Lin Tianhua was afraid that Lin Sanqi would say something wrong, so he stepped on his foot lightly. Lin Sanqi nodded slightly:
"Chief Song, don't worry about this. We're doing business in an upright manner. I'm just a graduate student, so I won't beat around the bush. First and foremost, we have to pay taxes on the 200 billion yuan we've earned from this transaction.
I'm not sure about the specific tax rate. Our CFO, Ms. Yin Lianyi (ahem, that's the woman), will take care of that. Rest assured, we reported this transaction to the tax authorities as soon as it was completed.
After learning about this, the tax department said they would send a dedicated team to our company to assist us with tax matters. Both parties hope that the tax can be paid on time, legally, and without any undue consequences.
When several men in executive jackets heard this, their eyes lit up.
Section Chief Song smiled and said, "Chairman Lin, do you know how much tax you have to pay for this transaction?"
Lin Sanqi also smiled and replied, "About 50 billion."
When the executive jackets heard this, even those with the best Qi cultivation skills tried to suppress their inner surprise. (End of this chapter)
