Happy Tycoon

The meeting with the Koch brothers caused Yang Jing to go through the two-year exhibition plan in his heart. I have to say that this is a good era. As long as we seize the opportunity, there will be gold everywhere.

Following the conversation with the Koch brothers, more and more people also came in.

The man who appeared on this occasion today is too mysterious. Just now, they came out of the cigar house next door with the core figures of the top ten consortiums. After they came out, the Koch brothers, the top richest in New York, immediately joined them again.

Who the **** is this guy?

The gossip heart of Americans is actually not small. For people or things they don't understand, they often make the most direct actions to understand.

For example, Yang Jing met Mr. Rich in 1985 and Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, among the people who followed. Walton is in good health now. Although Yang Jing knows that the old man will die of illness in five years, it does not affect his friendship with the retail emperor now.

After all, even if Sam Walton died, his children took over the banner of the old man and pushed Wal-Mart to the world. The Walton family is still very worthy of friendship.

In addition, there is Bernard Arnott, the head of the 1vmh group, a Frenchman about the same age as Cole Smith, who just took over the banner of Louis Vuitton a few years ago. But this guy is very powerful. He swallowed Dior like a snake as soon as he took over Louis Vuitton.

Bernard Arnott is also the master who can often be in the top 20 of the Forbes rich list thirty years later. His luxury empire will sweep the world in the next thirty years, especially after China became rich. , And even more eagerly for the major brands under the name of Arnott......

This time also coincided with Bernard Arnott's handling of a business matter in the United States, and he rushed over after receiving the invitation letter.

In addition, some financial predators on Wall Street also came over to have a few words with Yang Jingpan. It was not until the reception officially began that this kind of greetings came to an end.

The reception was held in a large banquet hall on the first floor of this building. The area of ​​this banquet hall is very large. The area is definitely more than 600 square meters. It is more than enough to accommodate the 70 or 80 people attending the banquet today.

At this time, there was applause in the corner of the hall, and then the applause quickly spread to the entire hall, and everyone began to applaud.

Yang Jing was no exception. While applauding, he looked in the direction where the applause first sounded, and saw seven or eight people walking out of a door in a corner of the hall.

At the beginning was an energetic old man, and the old man was followed by Mr. and Mrs. Skeff, but he was still pushing a wheelchair in his hands, and an older man was sitting in the wheelchair.

Yang Jing knew that, if nothing else, today's protagonist would appear.

Sure enough, when the seven or eight people stood still, the old man who led the head picked up the microphone.

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Long Island Mellon Manor, and thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the commemoration reception for the 130th birthday of the distinguished Mr. Richard Beatty Mellon. . I’m Paul Mellon, and here on behalf of my cousin Richard King Mellon and my family, I welcome everyone..."

After this self-introduction, Yang Jing realized that the old man who was talking turned out to be the other of the two major contemporary figures of the Mellon family, that is, Paul, the son of Andrew Mellon.

The old man in the wheelchair is Richard King Mellon, the son of Richard Beatty Mellon. The two old men are cousins.

Those in the back are naturally the core figures of the Mellon family now.

"One hundred and thirty years ago today, my dear Uncle Richard came to this world. He is one of the most important feats in the history of our Mellon family. It was under his leadership that our family began to show off. ......"

Although Paul is not keen on family business, he has to admit that his eloquence is very good. After this opening remark, he won warm applause from everyone present.

In the United States, Richard Beatty Mellon is a legend. If his father Thomas Mellon created the foundation of the Mellon family, then he and his brother Andrew Mellon are the key figures for the Mellon family to take off. .

The legend has six brothers and sisters, but only he and his brother Andrew Mellon are the second-generation core leaders of the Mellon family.

In the following 2o12 years, Forbes once re-stated the fifteen richest people in the history of the United States. In order to more accurately reflect their impact on the U.S. economy, Forbes converted everyone’s personal assets against the U.S. gross domestic product (gdp) at the time. It is USD 2oo6.

On this list, Richard Mellon ranks sixth with a net worth of 82.3 billion U.S. dollars, while his brother Andrew Mellon ranks 14th with a net worth of 500.5 billion dollars. This is also on this list. The only brothers on the list.

Such an old man, although it has been a long time since his death, does not prevent people from admiring him.

After Paul finished his opening remarks, Richard King Mellon tremblingly said a few more words. He is almost 90 years old this year, and his health is very bad. It is quite enough to be able to insist on appearing at this cocktail party. Not easy anymore.

After the two brothers had finished speaking, the reception officially began. As Bloomberg said before, auctions of precious items were interspersed in the middle of the reception.

This kind of auction is naturally a charity auction, and all the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the a.. Mellon Education-Charitable Trust created by Andrew Mellon with US$580,000 during his lifetime.

This kind of charity auction is different from the kind of charity auction in Hollywood or other places. This is a real high-end charity auction. After all, people who can come to this kind of occasion have at least a personal net worth of more than 100 million U.S. dollars.

In such a charity auction, the items brought out by these wealthy people can't be the kind of items worth tens of thousands of dollars. The items they bring out must at least be items that start with a value of 100,000 U.S. dollars.

For example, Bloomberg's auction item today is an emerald + diamond necklace. Bloomberg was still in the car that came here when he took out the necklace.

The appearance of this necklace is a bit outdated, and the value of the necklace itself is at most two or three hundred thousand dollars. If Bloomberg didn't tell the origin of this necklace, Yang Jing would really not look down on this necklace.

"This is a necklace that Marilyn Monroe wore when she received the award for Best Actress in the Film-Musical Comedy category at the 17th Golden Globe Awards for her "As Passionate as Fire" in 196o. I was in It was taken at an auction three years ago at a price of 800,000 U.S. dollars..." Seeing this necklace, Bloomberg's eyes were full of dismay.

These words made Yang Jinglei not light. Looking at Bloomberg's silver expression, it was obvious that this was also a Sao Nian who was fascinated by Monroe's style.

Calculated by Bloomberg’s age, when Monroe swept across the United States and the world, Bloomberg was just a teenager, how could he not be attracted by that charming woman?

I just don’t know if this guy’s wife Margaret knew that after he even had a necklace that Monroe wore close to her body, she would give this guy a Hedong Lion Roar...

Well, the necklace that this guy took out is indeed quite weighty. Although the necklace itself is not valuable, once it is hooked with Monroe, it is estimated that all the men under the age of sixty present today will have to be tempted.

Yang Jing slandered this old Sao year, but this year of complaint was also very interested in the auction items Yang Jing brought out. He also wanted to see what Yang Jing was going to auction today.

To be honest, this is the first time that Yang Jing has participated in such a top-level cocktail party. He didn't know before that the person attending the cocktail party would need to bring a high-end auction item, so he had no preparation at all.

However, there are some good things in his storage space, and a random piece can be worth several million dollars at least.

"Take a Monet's oil painting?" Yang Jing shook his head and rejected the idea. Monet's works were also very popular in the United States. Even in the 1980s, a Monet oil painting was also valuable. Tens of millions of dollars, it is obviously inappropriate to produce such a painting on this occasion.

Among the treasures of the last tsars acquired in Siberia, some of the oil paintings that had already been preserved were put in the storage space by Yang Jing, so he now has no shortage of paintings by famous artists.

"Why don't you take a golden scepter?" Yang Jing immediately rejected the idea. There are also two golden scepters found in Gaddafi’s treasure in the space. They are made of gold and don’t need maintenance at all. If you try it, they will instantly become shiny~www.readwn.com ~ But the value of this golden scepter is also quite high. After all, it is an ancient Egyptian thing, a veritable antique relic. If you really want to calculate the value, it is really difficult to calculate, and you come across those who like ancient Egyptian culture. It is not uncommon for local tyrants to spend tens of millions of dollars on purchases.

Yang Jing also thought of the figure eight Escudo gold coins in the batch of pirate treasures that Alter had obtained. Although the value of such a gold coin could be sold for four or five million US dollars in later generations, it is hard to say now, after all. The gold coin collection is not very popular now, it is a niche collection, if no one takes care of this kind of gold coins, it will be depressing when the time comes.

Yang Jing was also determined to find a set of ornaments from the treasure of the last tsar, but Bloomberg had already taken out a necklace. If he took another set of ornaments, it would seem to be a legendary crash.

The most important thing is that those ornaments that have been worn by Russian empresses or even empresses may be worth far more than the necklace Bloomberg took out, but Bloomberg’s necklace can’t stand up but Monroe once wore it. of. This is the United States. Does the ghost know that those rich Americans will not hang on to the queen or empress of Russia?

Bloomberg has been urging by the side, and Yang Jing has no choice but to finally take out a colorless diamond the size of a broad bean from the box containing many gems.

This diamond is a cut diamond. It is such a big one and weighs more than 30 carats. It is an absolutely extra-large diamond.

Even in this era, the starting price of an extra-large diamond over 30 carats is millions of dollars. The most important thing is that even in the United States, such a large cut diamond is very rare...
