The middle-aged man cleared his throat lightly, remaining composed, "The total amount is 70,799,000 yuan."
The employee standing nearby opened her lipstick-coated lips slightly in shock upon hearing the amount.
Oh my god, over seventy million!
Close to a hundred million!
The middle-aged man quickly took a calculator and calculated, "Excluding your principal—1 yuan, 35,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan, 28,000 yuan, and 1,000 yuan—it's a total of 68,001 yuan."
"The increased value is 70,730,900 yuan, and you need to pay a 15% value-added tax, amounting to 10.6 million yuan."
His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
The amount of tax was genuinely huge!
Lin Xiao's heart also shook slightly. Over seventy million yuan, with a tax of more than ten million...
If Lin Xiao had hired professional accounting services, he could have paid less tax, but it also carried risks.
It wasn't necessary.
With the system he had, was he afraid of not making enough money?
Moreover, once tax evasion was discovered, it would become a weakness.
He might pay high taxes, but he also earned a lot.
Besides, his antique hunting was live-streamed. If he evaded taxes, he'd inevitably attract attention from tax authorities.
To create trouble for himself just to save some tax would be foolish.
Thinking quickly about these things, Lin Xiao took out a bank card and handed it over, "Let's settle it all at once."
Ten minutes later.
The middle-aged man personally escorted Lin Xiao out of the tax bureau, his face full of smiles, "Mr. Lin, you're welcome to come back anytime."
Lin Xiao: ...
Leaving the tax office, Lin Xiao found a restaurant nearby to grab a meal.
After paying ten million in taxes, he still had over sixty million left.
With such a large sum of money, as long as he didn't gamble or indulge in drugs, even buying houses and cars...
Speaking of houses and cars, Lin Xiao suddenly thought he should probably buy himself a car and a house.
It was unreasonable for him to have tens of millions nearing a hundred million in wealth yet not own a property in this city.
"Buying a house isn't urgent; I won't be staying in Jinling forever. Jinling doesn't have many flea markets, and once I've scavenged most of them, I'll need to move elsewhere."
"Beijing's Panjiayuan, Xi'an Antique City, Zhengzhou Wholesale Market…"
"I'll inevitably visit these places, and if I buy a house now, I won't have much time to live in it."
"But I do need a car."
Dragon Country had well-developed infrastructure, making it convenient to drive, turning the journey into sightseeing—how comfortable.
"Tomorrow, I'll buy a car first!"
While Lin Xiao was sketching out his initial plans, his name once again swept through various online forums.

"What the hell, every time I open Weibo, it's this Boss Lin. Who exactly is this guy?"
"A man who stood at the pinnacle of the collecting and antique world in just two days!"
"This guy spent less than thirty thousand yuan, discovered two antiques in one day, and earned 64 million. He's a monster!"
"The crucial part is that birdcage was found in a pet market!"
"If the seller knew, he'd probably cry himself blind."
"The funny part is, when the birdcage was sold to the owner, he was told explicitly it was something used by a Qing Dynasty prince, but he didn't believe it."
"No one would believe it!"
"I saw the birdcage after it was cleaned—absolutely gorgeous!"
"I could never acquire this level of judgment in my lifetime."
"Tomorrow, I'm going to Fuzimiao Antique Market. I want to try my luck too!"
"I'm heading there tonight, otherwise I won't be able to squeeze in tomorrow morning."
"The Fuzimiao Antique Market is already surrounded."
Lin Xiao earning over sixty million yuan in a single day sparked massive waves online.
Spending less than thirty thousand yuan to gain over sixty million was enough to make anyone envious.
Even though everyone knew clearly that Lin Xiao relied on his expertise, they still wanted to try their luck.
Their reasoning was simple: the items were right there on the stalls—what if luck was on their side?
