Chapter 664: Caribbean Tax Haven

The Cayman Islands, located on the northern edge of the Caribbean Sea, are about 300 kilometers northwest of Jamaica and almost this far from Cuba.

This is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom, 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 in a hurry, 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 low-key, the better.

Especially Silva, the Colombian police and the miserable gang, are currently crazy looking for him, and pictures of him can be seen in almost all Colombian media.

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 he can come across a few countrymen if he wasn't cautious!

For the sake of safety, Silva cannot appear in public for the time being, even if he is still in a disguised state, 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. The range is very wide and there is 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 when they were on the way to Puerto Limón, Costa Rica, they again disguised, completely different from when they left Cartagena.

Even if the Colombian police and the gang 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-hand 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 can return to San Juan, Puerto Rico, ready to go to sea to search 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? Whhich ones are here?"

"Basically, there are the art dealers of Carlos Slim, the richest man in Mexico, Leon and Norman from Miami, and the Eli Broad's art dealer from Los Angeles.

There is also the art dealer of Louis Vuitton owner Bernard in New York, the guy Pete also rushed to the Cayman Islands, there are several other top collectors, and several art dealers."

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! So many collectors have come, it seems that I can make a lot of money again!"

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! You will slaughtered these super-rich people a lot, many of them came for the Titian's "Landscape of Venice".

I checked the information. This oil painting is recorded in the history of art, but no one knows where it was for hundreds of years. Who would have thought that this top oil painting would be reappear by your hands!

In the morning, I had a private exchange with several famous collectors who arrived earlier. From their words, I could 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.

"Of course, this is Titian's work. How many works are on the market? It may not happen once in ten years. Now that they have encountered it, as a top collector, who is willing to miss it?

And 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 sought but not found. 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, which adds to the mystery and legend contained in it, and 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 with emotion, then asked curiously.

"Starting at 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 strong smell between the lines.

"My God! You are too cruel and crazy!"

David held his head and exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes almost bursting.

At the same time of shock, a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart, and another huge commission was about to arrive, which was so cool!

Ye Tian shook his head and said with ease:

"After all, 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 Willem de Kooning can sell for $300 million. Isn't Titian's peak work worth this price? If so, it would be laughable and generous!

To be honest, my valuation for this top oil painting is more than 300 million U.S. dollars, and 500 million U.S. dollars is my psychological price, and I am sure that I will be able to sell it at this price!"

"You are right. Titian's position 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 Willem 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 on 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 group 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 dealers willing to sign non-disclosure 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 doesn't want to expose the content and process of this transaction, which may cause a lot of trouble; he doesn't 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 in the end, he is also going to use it to buy stocks or real estate. It must not be cheap to the IRS guys!

In addition, this is also Ye Tian's way to protect himself and protect Silva's family from being bitten by the Colombian government and Colombian gangs.

Hearing his question, David nodded immediately and said:

"Everyone has no objections 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 the Greco painting? Are he interested in acquiring it?

The guy Carlos loves Latin American art works, and the source of Latin American art, are 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 slapped severely. Who makes him a super rich man? A fortune of tens of billions of dollars! Ten lifetimes can past and this fortune will not be spent, let's help him spend some!

Ye Tian shook his fist lightly, jokingly said.

"Hahaha, you are right, we are obliged to help these super-rich people solve the puzzle of how to spend money!"

David whispered with a smirk, obviously not a good person.

In between talking and laughing, the two commercial vehicles have arrived at the reserved hotel.
