Chapter 664: Caribbean tax haven
The Cayman Islands, located on the northern edge of the Caribbean Sea, are 268 kilometers northwest of Jamaica and almost this far from Cuba.
This is an overseas territory of the UK, the world's fourth largest offshore financial center and tax haven, and it is also a world-famous diving resort and holiday paradise! Finance and tourism are its main sources of income!
Ye Tian and the others flew to the Cayman Islands. It was already the next afternoon.
But David and Anderson, who rushed to New York, arrived here in the morning to stand up for Ye Tian and the others.
From the dock where the seaplane was docked, Ye Tian and the others immediately boarded the two commercial vehicles that came to greet them and went straight to the hotel that David had booked under another name.
At this time, neither Ye Tian and Matisse nor the excited Silva are suitable for public appearances in the Cayman Islands. The lower the key, the better.
Especially Silva, the Colombian police and the tragic gangster are currently crazy and generally looking for him. Almost all Colombian media can see his photos.
It can even be said that Silva is definitely one of the most famous people in Colombia, even if it is not a household name, it is not much difference!
The Cayman Islands is in the Caribbean, not too far from Colombia. There are many Colombians here, so you can come across a few if you don't have the same!
For the sake of safety, Silva cannot appear in public for the time being, even if he is still in disguise, he is different from before.
When they came out of the dock, Ye Tian's luggage had been simplified a lot.
All the firearms that were fired in Cartagena, whether G36C assault rifle or M9 pistol, were disassembled into parts and thrown into the Caribbean Sea from the plane. They were distributed in a wide range and absolutely no proof!
All the clothes that everyone wore when they left Cartagena were put into the metal trolley box and sank into the bottom of the Caribbean Sea, where there was nowhere to find them!
Even the appearance of everyone was on the way to Limon, Costa Rica, again disguised, completely different from when they left Cartagena.
Even if the Colombian police and gangsters have great powers and catch up to Costa Rica, they are absolutely impossible to find the target person based on the surveillance data. They can only run empty and return!
The next thing to do is to deal with the two top oil paintings and help Silva manage his new identity and give him the 10 million dollars he deserves.
Then the family can leave the Caribbean Sea and fly to Europe to start a new life.
Ye Tian and the others returned to San Juan, Puerto Rico, ready to go to sea to explore the treasures of the Malaga Princess shipwreck, and to hunt for treasures in the depths of the Caribbean Sea!
When entering the commercial vehicle, Ye Tian got into the one where David was, and the others got into the other one.
Ye Tian had something to communicate with David, and the content could not be known to Silva, so this arrangement was made.
After the vehicle started and left the dock, Ye Tian who was sitting in the back seat immediately asked in a low voice:
"David, have the famous collectors whom I appointed have arrived in the Cayman Islands? Who are they here?"
"Basically, there are the art dealers of Carlos Slim, the richest man in Mexico, Leon and Norman from Miami, and the art dealers of Los Angeles El Brod.
There is also Louis Vuitton’s owner Bernard’s art dealer in New York, the guy Pete also rushed to the Cayman Islands, there are several other top collectors, and several art dealers.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! So many collectors have come, it seems that buddies can make a lot of money!"
Ye Tian exclaimed and said excitedly.
His eyes turned green in an instant, the same color as US dollars.
"That's right! You guy can indeed make a fortune! Kill these super-rich people with a stab, many of them came from Titian.
I checked the information. This oil painting is recorded in art history, but no one knows where it is for hundreds of years. Who would have thought that this top oil painting would be reproduced in the world by your hands!
In the morning, I had a private exchange with several famous collectors who arrived earlier. From their words, I can hear that each of them is determined to win this top oil painting! "
David quickly explained the situation, his eyes full of envy.
Steven is so lucky that he can find the best art in a ghost place like Colombia. Does he have any reason?
"Of course, this is Titian's work. How many works are on the market? It may not happen once in ten years. Now that I have encountered it, as a top collector, who is willing to miss it?
Moreover, this is Titian's peak period work. Each painting of this level is the treasure of the major museums. It is absolutely impossible to enter the market. It can be met but not sought. Who doesn't want to own it?
More importantly, this oil painting has a clear record in the history of art, and it has been missing for nearly three hundred years, adding to its mystery and legend, its value is absolutely inestimable! "
"Yes! I can tell, those top collectors will definitely be unlucky, and they will definitely be smashed by you! I want to ask, how much do you plan to charge for this oil painting?"
David sighed a few words, then asked curiously.
"Starting with 300 million US dollars, without this price, I am embarrassed, and I don't even have the bidding qualification!"
Ye Tian triumphantly reported the price in a low voice, and there was a spicy smell between the lines.
"I'll go! You are too cruel and crazy!"
David held his head and exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes almost bursting.
At the same time he was shocked, there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and another huge commission was about to arrive. It was so cool!
Ye Tian shook his head, and said with ease:
"Where is this! You know, this is Titian Vecellio, the top art master of the late Renaissance, and a famous figure in world art history. How many people can compare?
An expressionist painting by William de Kooning can sell for $300 million. Isn't Titian's peak work worth that price? If so, it would be laughable and generous!
To be honest, I have more than US$300 million in futures for this top oil painting, and US$500 million is my psychological price, and I am sure that I will be able to sell it at this price! "
"You are right. Titian's status in art history is indeed very high. It is probably second only to the three masters of Renaissance art. It is indeed not comparable to Wilhelm de Kooning.
It would be great if it could be sold at a sky-high price of 500 million US dollars! There is no doubt that this will be the most expensive painting in the art market, whether it is auctioned or privately traded."
"It's a pity! The information related to this transaction can only be limited to a small area and cannot be made public! I can't enjoy the honor of creating the most expensive art transaction!
By the way, are those top collectors and art brokers willing to sign confidentiality agreements? If they refuse, then they can only be excluded from trading candidates, this is not negotiable! "
In the following sentence, Ye Tian said decisively, with a very firm tone.
He does not want to expose the content and process of this transaction, which may cause a lot of trouble; he does not want to expose the huge wealth in his pocket, which is being targeted by the vulture-like IRS!
He intends to deposit the money in an offshore bank account. This is a profit obtained overseas. As long as he does not bring it back to the United States, he can temporarily avoid paying taxes.
But more is not as good as less. No one wants to be targeted by the IRS. It will make people sleepless, and Ye Tian is no exception.
Even if the money has to be taken back to the United States~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he is also going to use it to buy stocks, or real estate, etc. It must not be cheap to the IRS guys!
In addition, this is also Ye Tian's method to protect himself and protect Silva's family from being bitten by the Colombian government and Colombian gangs.
Hearing his question, David nodded and said:
"Everyone has no objection to signing a confidentiality agreement, and they agree very much. These guys must have offshore companies and offshore bank accounts. This is the standard for the top rich!
When the deal is concluded, the money they bought for these two top oil paintings will almost always come from an offshore bank account, so you don’t have to worry at all! "
"That's good! Have you contacted Carlos Slim's art dealer? What is his attitude towards that Greco painting? Are you interested in acquiring it?
The guy Carlos loves Latin American art works, and the source of Latin American art, the top works of Spanish art. I plan to sell Greco's oil painting to him! "
"In the morning, I contacted Carlos Slim's art dealer. He is really interested in Greco's oil painting. The possibility of a deal is very high!"
"That's great! Carlos Slim must be severely slaughtered. Who makes him a super rich man? A fortune of tens of billions of dollars! Ten lifetimes can't be spent, let's help him spend some!"
Ye Tian shook his fist lightly and said jokingly.
"Hahaha, you are right, we are obligated to help these super-rich people solve the puzzle of how to spend money!"
David whispered with a smirk, obviously not a good person.
While talking and laughing, the two commercial vehicles have arrived at the reserved hotel.
