Happy Tycoon

The diamond that Yang Jing put up for auction really caused a sensation at the reception. A cut diamond of this size is rare, even among such top-rich circles.

Especially this diamond was taken out by the mysterious Cole Smith, which even moved the minds of some rich people present.

In the end, the cut diamond was bought by a new generation man in his fifties from the West Coast for a high price of US$3.8 million. Afterwards, Yang Jing learned that this guy was the boss of Northrop. Now Northrop has not merged with Grumman to become Northrop Grumman, but the current Northrop company is still The top several major arms companies in the United States.

The consortium behind Northrop is the emerging California consortium after World War II.

Obviously, this is the California consortium showing good wishes to Yang Jing. Because just now in the cigar house, Alfred Lewis, Chairman and CEO of Bank of America, who came to the reception on behalf of the California consortium, had a very happy conversation with Yang Jing.

As a new consortium that emerged after World War II, the California consortium is closer to Yang Jing's ideas in some respects.

"Hey, Cole, thank you very much for this precious diamond." After the interspersed auction ended, Skeff, as the protagonist, immediately found Yang Jing and expressed his sincere thanks.

In the auctions interspersed with the reception, the final proceeds will be donated to the Mellon family's charity fund, and the diamond provided by Yang Jing was sold at a price of 3.8 million US dollars, which is equivalent to Yang Jingbai’s gift to Mellon. The family charity fund is 3.8 million U.S. dollars.

This figure is a huge sum of money even if it is placed thirty years later, let alone now?

The most important thing is that the diamond Yang Jing took out is really rare, and the meaning behind it is naturally different.

In the eyes of many people and even the top of the Mellon family, this Cole Smith took out such a precious diamond. This is to release enough kindness to the Mellon family, and the Mellon family will naturally not let this kindness. Passing by, they needed the olive branch from Cole Smith.

"It's nothing, Richard, your grandfather is a person I admire very much, and I just regret not being able to see this great old man with my own eyes."

Saying good things doesn't require money, and saying good things can get better results. Yang Jing definitely doesn't mind saying a few good things at certain critical moments. Especially since this kind of good thing is said to an old man who has been dead for a long time, Yang Jing will not have any psychological burden.

The good atmosphere made Yang Jing and Skef talk for a long time, until the next stage of the auction began, and the two stopped talking.

The necklace provided by Bloomberg appeared in the auction at this stage. Sure enough, the necklace caused a sensation when it came out.

Yang Jing could even feel the sour gas of those noble ladies who followed her husband to the reception.

Sure enough, this necklace did not live up to Bloomberg's expectations. It was sold at a price of 1.7 million US dollars, which is more than double the price of the necklace that Bloomberg bought back then.

"This guy is Harper Lawrence, the chairman of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. He is a nasty guy!" Skeff whispered in Yang Jing's ear.

The one who photographed this necklace was a fat white man in his sixties. When he got this necklace, his excited face changed.

"People from the Boston Consortium?" Yang Jing asked Skeff next to him with a trace of disgust for the fat man.

"Yes, behind this guy stands the Boston Consortium. To be precise, he is the contemporary core figure of the Lawrence family, and the Lawrence family is an important part of the Boston Consortium. This nasty guy has been to Monroe more than twenty years ago. There are ideas, but it's a pity that John was there at that time. This guy can't compete with John." Skeff said with certainty.

Because the Mellon family and the Boston Consortium belong to the East Coast, there will naturally be some fierce competition. Now the Mellon family and the Boston consortium are only maintaining the superficial harmony. It is not enough for outsiders to know what kind of competition the two big guys will have in secret.

As for John that Skeff said, it was the famous President Kennedy.

Everyone knows the things that have to be said between President Kennedy and Monroe, and the reason why Kennedy was able to become president is said to have a great relationship with the strong support of the Boston Consortium. The relationship between the Boston Consortium and the Kennedy family is very Iron.

It's just that Yang Jing didn't expect that this fat man, as an important figure in the Boston consortium, would never forget Kennedy's woman. And judging from the facial expression of the fat man just now, what Skeff said was obviously true. The fat man definitely had an idea about Monroe.

Regarding this, Yang Jing can only secretly sigh-your circle is really messy!

"Thank you very much for the auction items you provided, and thank you very much for your active participation in the auction. Next, I will come up with three auction items provided by our Mellon family..." Mellon was speaking on stage. Timothy Mellon, one of the fourth generation members of the family, is even less reliable than his father Paul Mellon. He is almost indifferent to the family's business.

But under this kind of occasion, he still behaved perfectly, and under this kind of occasion, he couldn't tolerate his son-in-law's temper.

Since it was auctioned for the family's charity fund, the Mellon family, as the host, would naturally not be able to auction off some precious auction items.

The first auction item brought up was a portrait of John Singer Sargent. Sargent is the most famous portrait painter in the United States at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. His portraits are well-known in the United States and the world.

This painting was sought after by many people as soon as it was taken out. Even if the size of the painting was not very large, it was eventually sold at a price of 8.8 million U.S. dollars, which is the highest auction item at auction today. .

The second work turned out to be a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin.

Rodin is a modern sculptor who can be compared with Michelangelo. His "Bronze Age" and "The Thinker" are both extremely rare masterpieces.

Although the bronze sculpture named "Climber" brought out by the Mellon family this time is not the most famous works of Rodin, it is also quite an extraordinary bronze sculpture. Therefore, when this work appeared, it was immediately triggered. A sensation from everyone on the scene.

Rodin's status in the eyes of Westerners is still very high. Many Westerners like his works very much, so Rodin's works have always been of high collection value.

Yang Jing is also very interested in this "Mountaineer". He now has many bronze sculptures, but most of them are older sculptures. He has not collected modern sculptures, so he also wants to take this " hiker".

However, the holy ring, which had been silent for a long time, directly stopped Yang Jing. This made Yang Jing regretful to see that this piece of "Climber" was finally bought by Harry Morgan from the Morgan family for 32 million U.S. dollars. The price was photographed.

This price immediately surpassed the portrait painting just now and became the highest-priced auction item today.

Although the price is high, it is nothing compared to Rodin's other works. Even Yang Jing, who has the price of precious artworks in twenty or thirty years, knows very well that if this work is put up for auction twenty years later, it will definitely exceed 100 million U.S. dollars.

Harry Morgan was able to win this work at such a "low" price because it was not an official auction, and many people were unwilling to compete with the eldest son of the Morgan family. If at an official auction, such a Rodin work would be sold at a price of less than 50 million US dollars, it would definitely not be able to get it.

The first two works produced by the Mellon family were sold at sky-high prices. In this era, artworks worth more than ten million dollars are not common.

However, when Timothy Mellon took out the third auction item, everyone present was a little dumbfounded.

What is this?

What Timothy holds in his hand is a black box about the size of an adult's fist~www.readwn.com~The surface of the box is full of sloppy clauses. It seems that this box uses dozens of pieces of different sizes. The bars are pieced together the same. And this box does not seem to be complete yet, it seems that a part is missing.

Everyone took turns to look at the box, but no one could recognize what this weird and incomplete box was.

"This is a collection collected by the family at the beginning of this century. It is made of silver mixed with some other metals. It is said to come from the mysterious East. According to the appraisal, this box has been nearly 1100 years old. The history is over. Our family once invited a Chinese appraiser from Chinatown to appraise this box. According to that Chinese appraiser, this box was a box called the'Luban Box' from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period of China, but it was just because it was incomplete. In part, the box could not be opened normally. Moreover, the Chinese appraiser also said with certainty that this kind of exquisitely crafted Luban box was only made by royal craftsmen at that time, so this box should be made from more than one thousand. The royal family of China a year ago. Although the box cannot be opened, it has a history of more than a thousand years, and it is also a royal item at that time, so it has historical significance."

As Timothy said, although this box is incomplete, it is, after all, a silver box with a history of more than a thousand years. It is also something owned by the ancient royal family of China. So after Timothy’s explanation, Many people immediately prepared to photograph this box.

As for Yang Jing, after seeing this box, she was stunned...

PS: Bow to thank "Lonely Heart" for the reward of 1000, and "Little Fairy Bookworm 134" for the reward of 500.
