Chapter 794 380: Paying 4 Million in Taxes at Once, Returning to Jinghua Pavilion!

After settling on the price and plan.

Zhang Long immediately contacted the accounting firm collaborating with the auction house.

This accounting firm has an office stationed here in Pan Garden.

Less than three minutes after Zhang Long hung up the phone.

A young man dressed in a black suit and white shirt, carrying a briefcase, and looking quite professional, arrived at Boya Auction House.

After exchanging simple greetings with Zhang Long, the man took out a notebook from his briefcase and began compliant tax calculations for today's transaction.

Soon, the result was out.

Jiang Tao needs to pay taxes amounting to as much as 4.01 million today!

Looking at this figure, even someone as financially robust as Jiang Tao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Wow, paying over four million in taxes at once, that's a small apartment in Beijing gone!"

Of course, painful as it is, as a lawful citizen, Jiang Tao wouldn't think about tax evasion or avoidance.

He only spent less than 170,000 on purchasing two purple clay teapots.

Turning around and selling them at Zhang Bo's family for 20 million.

Even subtracting the 4 million in personal income tax, there would still be 16 million left in hand!

The profit is almost a hundredfold!

At Jiang Tao's speed of making money, the average person really can't even come close.

16 million is a fortune for anyone.

He only took about two hours and earned what others can't make in several lifetimes, what is there to be unsatisfied with?

Contentment brings happiness!

Money is something that can't be taken with you when you're born or when you die.

He has already earned enough money for a lifetime.

Moreover, funds are continuously flowing in daily.

Jiang Tao naturally wouldn't plant a bad seed for himself just for a mere 4 million in taxes.

Every deed is seen by the heavens.

Those big stars in the entertainment industry who evaded taxes ultimately ended up blown to pieces by the bombs they planted themselves.

In the end, not only did they have to make up the evaded taxes, their reputation also got ruined all at once.

Falling directly from being popular to being ignored.

Although Jiang Tao doesn't plan to go down the entertainment path, as his influence grows, he cherishes his reputation more and more.

While observing laws and regulations, he does good deeds within his ability to benefit others and enhance his influence.

For example, the charity kitchen he mentioned to Jiang Xingguo yesterday is part of his efforts to accumulate virtue.

After calculating the taxes, Jiang Tao directly entrusted the tax settling task to the certified accountant Zhang Long called over.

Finally, he received a cash cheque for 16.04 million from Zhang Long.

"Jiang Tao, pleasure working with you!"

"Pleasure working with you."

After completing the transaction, Jiang Tao and Zhang Long shook hands, both wearing eager smiles.

"Uncle Zhang, Xiaobo, it's almost lunchtime, I'll treat you today, let's go have a meal at Jinghua Pavilion."

Jiang Tao raised his wrist to glance at the Richard Mille watch, unknowingly, it was already around 11:30 a.m.

"No, let me treat you! Thank you Jiang Tao for always taking care of our family business!"

Zhang Long glanced at his son and Jiang Tao, speaking earnestly:

"Our Xiaobo is lucky to have a friend like you."

Zhang Bo chuckled from the side:

"Indeed, Brother Jiang, this meal is on my dad! Let's go to Jinghua Pavilion! Honestly, I've heard of it but never actually been!"

Jiang Tao laughed heartily: "Hahaha, I said I'd treat, and today's meal must be on me, next time, Uncle Zhang can treat."

Zhang Long and his son exchanged a look, understanding the unquestionable tone in Jiang Tao's words.

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

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

"Today I'll bask in Brother Jiang's generosity, let's also see how luxurious the legendary Jinghua Pavilion is!"

Zhang Bo didn't hesitate either and said cheerfully.

Jiang Tao turned to Zhang Long, changing the topic:

"By the way, Uncle Zhang, you have extensive connections in Beijing, do you know any wine sommeliers?"

"Wine sommeliers? Yes, I do know some."

Upon hearing Jiang Tao mention sommeliers suddenly, Zhang Long was somewhat puzzled.

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

"You and Xiaobo aren't outsiders, so I can share it with you."

"Yesterday, I took a friend to Jinghua Pavilion for a meal and ordered a bottle of 1990 Romanée-Conti."

"While drinking, I kept feeling something was off about its taste."

Jiang Tao didn't keep Zhang Long and his son in the dark, he directly explained the red wine situation to them.

"Ah? That can't be!"

"Over at Jinghua Pavilion, such a basic mistake shouldn't happen!"

Father and son Zhang Long were both surprised after hearing what Jiang Tao relayed.

Although they haven't dined at Jinghua Pavilion, they have long heard of its high standards.

Those dining there are the top wealthy echelon with assets of at least tens of millions.

After all, without that wealth, one can't even cross their threshold.

How could such a high-end place have fake wine?

Jiang Tao shrugged: "Yeah, I also feel that places like Jinghua Pavilion shouldn't sell fake wine."

"But still, it feels somewhat off, so I thought to bring an expert to check it out for me."

"Yes, although Jinghua Pavilion has a reputation, no one can guarantee there's no problem, having a query mindset is appropriate."

Zhang Long nodded, continuing: "Speaking of wine sommeliers, quite the coincidence, I have an old buddy whose daughter is in this profession, very professional!"
