I Inherited Fishing Bins in Canada
Episode 11

Right at noon, a team of experts from the Lee Auction House arrived with great fanfare.

Shane Casson brought the bronze statue down, holding it like a bucket of water. Krzyzewski's eyes almost popped out of his head, and at that moment, a neat-looking middle-aged man with glasses next to him smiled and said, "Master, your energy is very strong."

Hearing this, Shane Casson suddenly recalled a problem he had not noticed lately. His physical strength seemed to have increased significantly. The bronze statue was dense and weighed about seventy to eighty kilograms, but he felt ordinary, as if he was holding something that only weighed seven or eight kilograms.

He suspected this was also related to the Heart of Poseidon.

Auerbach introduced him, and the neat-looking middle-aged man with the glasses was Robert Blake, general manager of the Lee Auction House.

Shane Casson has done research on Blake before and knows that he comes from a prominent family in Eastern Canada that controls Busch Corporation, one of Canada's significant consortia with a lot of influence.

Robert Blake grabbed Shane Casson's hand and shook hands with a smile, saying, "You're really a talented young boy. You've mastered such a large fishing area at your age. When I was your age I used to, I still used my parents' money to chase after pretty girls."

With just a few words, Blake had already made a closer relationship with Shane Casson.

The final appraisal report came out, and after Blake reviewed the report, he handed it over to Shane Casson, confirming that the statue was genuine.

Shane Casson hesitated and asked, "Yesterday, I searched the internet and found that this 'Perseus and Medusa' statue seemed to be in Piazza Michelangelo in Florence, Italy. How can there be anyone else here?"

Blake laughed and said, "No, no, no, my friend. That's bogus. That's replica. You should understand that this statue was made by the famous sculptor Cellini in 1545 and ordered by Grand Duke Cosimo. The statue was lost for two centuries, and people in some parts of Europe claim to have seen it, but no one has been able to actually show it to the public until now."

Shane Casson was quick to say that he was lucky, and the people around him were not too surprised. They had seen many auction items, and some people were even luckier.

Blake cleared his throat, and Shane Casson knew they were getting to the point. He sat up straight, ready to reject the request from Christie's auction house.

Undoubtedly, for a piece of art of this value, it would be best if it was auctioned off at a level like Sotheby's.

"Master, our company has always focused on machine auctions and only achieved average results in art auctions. However, our board of directors decided to switch to art auctions earlier this year. Therefore, I hope you can give us the honor to sell this auction of artwork."

"I understand that Sotheby's and Christie's auction houses are better suited for this artwork, but the time leading up to the spring auction is less than half a month away. As you know, the value of art is directly related to the investment in publicity. Only if you now sent it to the auction would they obtain a reasonable price.

"If our company can obtain auction rights, I assure you that we will use all the resources at our disposal to promote this work of art, including Mr.'s paintings. Pinawian."

The international commission rate for art auctions is 12%. If you are willing to give us an auction, we will lower the commission to 5%. In addition, I understand that you may need funds to operate your fisheries immediately. Our company can provide you with a cash payment of 10 million Canadian dollars!

Shane Casson remained silent for a moment, and a deal was struck!

The price of a work of art is strongly associated with the auction house. The larger and more established the auction house, the more wealthy clients could attract its attention.

Shane Casson believed that if he handed the statues of Perseus and Medusa to Sotheby's or Christie's to be taken care of, he would receive at least 10% more money than the Lee's Auction House.

Now Shane is short on money so he can't pay his inheritance tax.

After Shane Casson agreed, Blake was relieved and unbuttoned his suit. He asked, "My best friend, are we now going to the bank to transfer the payment and sign the contract?"

Leigh Auction House greatly appreciated this bronze statue. They are entering the art auction field and desperately need pioneers to attract customers. There is no doubt that the figures of Perseus and Medusa can fulfill this important task."

After negotiations were over, Blake issued an auction contract and invited Shane Casson to board his Mercedes S600 to a local bank to transfer the payment.

Shane Casson refused and handed over the contract to Auerbach, who saw it to make sure everything was in good shape before saying, "Boss, now you need to choose a bank to keep the money. Which bank do you want to use?"

Although the city of Gander is small, there are many banks, including four major bank branches: Royal Bank of Canada, TD Canada Trust, Bank of Montreal, and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

With recommendations from Auerbach, Shane Casson chose the Bank of Montreal.

The Bank of Montreal is the oldest bank in Canada, with a history of almost two hundred years. The bank also became the first issuer of paper currency in Canada. The Bank of Montreal is also one of the top ten banks in North America and is very reliable.

When applying for a bank card, Shane Casson handed over his ID and passport. Seeing this, Tyren's bank manager asked, "Do you not have immigrant status?"

Blake looked puzzled and said, "Buddy, I think you've completed the immigration procedure. It could be more troublesome."

Shane asked, "What's wrong?"

Auerbach explained, "Taxes must be paid for the goods being auctioned. If you are a citizen of the United States of America, you must pay taxes to the governments of Newfoundland, Canada, and your own country. Finally, you may only receive less than half of the money."

"I advise you to immigrate to Newfoundland, young man. This way, you can save a lot of money. Not only does it avoid paying taxes to your government, but the taxes the Canadian government can collect will also be greatly reduced" Tyren suggested.

Changing citizenship is a big thing, but Shane Casson is open to the suggestion. As a person of the lower social layers, it is normal to go to a place where life is better.

After a moment of hesitation, Shane Casson asks Auerbach to help him with the citizenship-altering procedure. He worried and asked, "I heard that Canada has a strict immigration policy and only accepts skilled labor for immigration. Am I qualified?"

Auerbach laughed, saying, "You don't have to worry about that. The city government of Gander desperately wants you to immigrate. Too few people are willing to take over these fishing waters. Fishery takeovers can provide tax revenue for the government and create employment opportunities so the government will welcome your immigration."

Shane Casson asked about immigration procedures, and Auerbach replied, "You don't have to worry about that. I've prepared everything for you. You just need to sign some paperwork this afternoon."

After hearing this, Shane Casson needed clarification. When did he set up the immigration procedure?

Auerbach took a pile of documents from his briefcase and smiled like a sly old fox, saying, "I know someday you will immigrate, so when I help you apply for a passport, I'll let you know, I also handle this procedure."

Shane Casson was speechless and asked, "Are you able to predict fate, Master?"
