I Have a Little Black Hole

Lei Tiantang is still very happy with the support of the mainstream media. He took the time to accept an exclusive interview with the Associated Press and expressed his gratitude to these people. Of course, he also expressed special gratitude for the support of US President Trump. What is the reason to support him is always a good thing. After all, such a large number of treasures were auctioned in such a short period of time, of course, the higher the publicity, the better, although there is almost no media support for Trump.

Trump is also a funny guy. He is a typical businessman, but he became the president of a big country under the strange system of the United States. Without any governing experience, he still uses his businessman's style to govern the country after he became president. He has to pay more than half of the chaotic situation in the U.S. Empire. He has no global thinking and pursues an isolation policy, so he often makes jokes, but people are very trustworthy and promise voters to build the U.S.-Mexico border wall. People would rather the government take a long time. The shutdown also requires Congress to give him money to fix it, although the main reason for doing so is to seek votes to gain an advantage in the re-election vote.

Of course, these are all what Lei Tiantang thought in his mind. He couldn't have said this to reporters. Of course, what he said to reporters were all good things. Of course, the most important thing is to continue to promote his treasures. He has evaded the reporters asking about his privacy. He just let the reporters dug up his own company in China and let them know that his company sold a lot of high The high-quality graphene has also promoted its own domestic companies.

In addition, the reporter continued to question him about any money spent. Of course, he explained the construction of the observatory that he had only thought of in the past two days, and said that he would purchase research equipment from the United States. Of course, domestic companies also need to expand, and they also need to purchase a large amount of research equipment and production equipment. These will cost a lot of money, and it is estimated that there is not much left to pay taxes to the United States.

But Americans don't care how much tax you pay, as long as you spend your money on the US imperialists, they are satisfied, and the country supports it legally.

The time soon came to the day of the auction. Lei Tiantang brought Kayla, Powell and others to Sotheby's auction house. Alex received them personally and arranged them before leaving. He left today. He was also very busy, all the big clients came, and he had to personally receive each one.

The time slowly came to 9:00 in the morning. With the hammer of the auctioneer, the special auction house for sunken treasures officially started! The first thing to be auctioned is a group of gold antique artworks. The exotic artworks placed on the tray instantly attracted the attention of buyers. There is no human who does not like these glittering things, so the price rises quickly. The bidding sound came one after another, but fortunately, the auctioneer was very professional and could hear the highest bid accurately every time. In the end, this group of artworks was bought by desert tyrants at a price of 7 million US dollars, and there was a burst of applause at the auction site.

The next auction process was even more climax after another. Pieces of art, groups of gold and silver coins were all auctioned at high value. When it came to the gem auction, it was even more enthusiastic. Merchants began to make quotations one after another, because the gemstones in the auction were all selected, and all of them were of the highest quality, so they were very attractive.

During the whole auction process, none of the treasures passed in the auction. Lei Tiantang is very satisfied with this point, which shows that Sotheby's auction house has put a lot of effort into it. Of course, they are also working hard for themselves, because they have 5% of them. Commissioned! ! In the end, only the selected artworks and gemstones were auctioned for 670 million US dollars, far exceeding the valuation of 500 million US dollars. Lei Tiantang was very happy, which means that his total income will have a large In addition to the increase in the auction house's commission, there are still more than 630 million yuan!

I made a brief handover with the auction house. If the money is not available for the time being, it is estimated that it should be available tomorrow. Anyway, there is nothing to worry about in this regard. With the help of Alex,

Lei Tiantang reached a deal with a jeweler, and they bought all of Lei Tiantang's remaining jewels that were not very high-quality. You must know that although these jewels did not reach the auction level, the quality was also very good, after all The things that Spain pulled back from the colony must have been selected and pulled back, so the value of these gems is still very high, plus the quantity there, these gems sold for a total of 120 million US dollars.

Powell and the others were so excited that this price was beyond their forecast range. After finishing the matter here, Lei Tiantang went to Wells Fargo and traded the remaining large pieces of gold and silver with Wells Fargo. , Because of the purity, everyone has been negotiating the price in terms of valuation, but the price is now more transparent, so the difference is not big, Lei Tiantang's harvest has exceeded expectations now, so he is no longer and Wells Fargo was entangled in the difference of millions of dollars, and quickly closed the deal with them, and harvested a total of 1.892 billion US dollars!

In this way, the amount of US dollars obtained by Lei Tiantang in this treasure reached 2.6485 billion, exceeding the previous estimate of more than 2.4 billion US dollars and more than 200 million US dollars. He has also become a super customer of Wells Fargo Bank, and the level and scope of services are also expanded a lot.

In the bank's office, Lei Tiantang was in charge of writing the check, and Powell and John were responsible for checking him. This time, the distribution of bonuses was basically based on an even distribution. Now the Discovery Company, together with security personnel, including Powell and John, is a total of 194 Personally, he first eliminated the $4.85 million, and then on average, everyone could get $1.34 million! All of them are truly millionaires! Even after paying taxes, it's still over a million!

As for the 4.85 million that was eliminated, Lei Tiantang gave Powell and John 500,000, and then gave 2 million to the company's management, and the remaining 1.85 million was evenly distributed to the company's 16 divers. After all, they went to sea at risk. Doing salvage operations, it's worth a raise for them! The total prize money for these 16 divers has reached more than 1.45 million US dollars! !

I believe that everyone has no objection to the distribution of this bonus. You can see that Powell and John are checking the check with a smile! As for Kayla and Mirissa, because they are not employees of the company, Lei Tiantang can't distribute the bonus to them, but he also prepared gifts for them at the awards ceremony, which are custom-made with gemstones selected from this batch of treasures. The jewelry, Lei Tiantang arranged it a few days ago, just let John go and get it back later.
