"Art? Are you talking about oil painting, sculpture or antiques?" Yang Jing's interest was suddenly raised by Bloomberg's words.
"Yes, of course, there are some more magical things," Bloomberg said with a smile. He is very happy now. The topic he brought up obviously attracted the attention of the person in front of him.
Yang Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Michael, are you talking about the auction?"
"Well, it's an auction. However, unlike the auction held by Sotheby's or Christie's, anyone can participate. The auction has strict restrictions on the participants and is limited to insiders."
"Insider?" Yang Jing frowned.
"Yes, it is the kind of people with relevant economic ability that will be recognized as insiders by the auctioneer. A popular saying is that the personal wealth of those who participate in the auction must be more than 100 million US dollars."
This number and limit surprised Yang Jing somewhat. Although many auctions have restrictions on the wealth of participants, Yang Jing heard for the first time that the wealth must be higher than US $100 million.
This limited specification is too high. The net worth of $100 million was not much even in the United States in the 1980s. Before the advent of the Internet era, these billionaires in the United States often had a very deep background behind them. Their contacts and background were far from those ten thousand millionaires in the Internet era.
In this age, a fortune of $100 million means not only your wealth, but also the relationships you have.
"Who did this auction?" Yang Jing was also a little curious. It was definitely not easy for the organizer to make such an auction in this era.
"Does the Mellon family know? To be exact, Mr. Richard Mellon Schiff of Pittsburgh is going to hold a reception at a manor belonging to the Mellon family on Long Island, New York this Saturday night. The reception is to commemorate the 130th anniversary of the birth of Mr. Schiff's grandfather, Richard beaty Mellon. During the reception, some rare antiques and works of art will be auctioned , I think you can attend the reception if you are interested. I think Mr. skeff is also willing to be a person like you. "
"Mellon family? The Mellon family, which is known as the most mysterious in the United States, founded Gulf oil and Mellon National Bank, controls Alcoa, Pittsburgh steel, AMCO steel, Lockheed, Rockwell and Westinghouse Electric, and makes Americans jokingly call it one of the eight families in the United States that 'three American Presidents have worked for Mellon'?"
"Yes, it's the Mellon family, the Mellon family with more money than the Rockefeller family," Bloomberg said positively, with a look of envy in his eyes.
"This Mr. Richard Mellon Schiff is the grandson of Mr. Richard beaty Mellon and a right-wing conservative."
"I've heard of Mr. Schiff," Yang Jing nodded.
Yang Jing knew something about the Mellon family. At that time, when she was in college, she argued with her classmates about who was the richest family in the United States, so Yang Jing specially inquired about the Mellon family information.
Mr. Schiff is the grandson of Richard Beatie Mellon, who, although not as famous as his brother Andrew Mellon, is a key figure in the rise of the Mellon family. Later, Forbes once announced the top 15 richest people in American history. Bill Gates only ranked 13th, while Richard Beatty Mellon ranked sixth.
Although Schiff, who is nearly 70 years old this year, is a relative of the Mellon family, he has always maintained a very close relationship with the Mellon family. Moreover, Schiff is still a billionaire who finances the American right-wing conservative movement and is known as the king of the American right Camp! In later generations, zizidun's "zipper door incident" was exposed by the name of Schiff! Now Schiff is also one of the core members of the Mellon family.
If the party is held by this gentleman, the restrictions on participants are inevitable.
Although the influence of the eight families in the United States gradually declined after World War II, it is undeniable that no matter which of the eight families is deeply rooted in the United States. Now they may look very calm on the surface, but no one can deny that the eight families have unparalleled influence in the whole United States.
As the top of the eight families, the Mellon family has the energy hidden under the surface that ordinary people can't imagine. Even if the assets of the Dragon Fund controlled by Yang Jing are as high as more than 200 billion US dollars, it can never be compared with this old family that has been inherited for more than 100 years.
For the opportunity to have a good relationship with the core figures in this family, Yang Jing believes that it is still very necessary.
"Michael, can you get another invitation?"
"Don't worry, this is absolutely no problem. Mr. skeff and I still have a certain personal relationship, and your KY investment fund is also a major shareholder of Alcoa and Pittsburgh steel. I think Mr. skeff will be willing to communicate with you in this regard."
"Thank you," Yang Jing said sincerely.
Yang Jing originally planned to return to the original time and space after acquiring the shares of innovative market system company. After all, the stock disaster has passed, and the Dragon Fund has reaped a huge amount of profits, and began to invest in major companies with these profits. The prototype of the future has been established, and the main task of coming to this time and space has been successfully completed, Yang Jing doesn't have to stop from this time and space.
Unexpectedly, the unexpected reception disrupted Yang Jing's itinerary. However, Yang Jing is very happy to get to know people like Richard Mellon Schiff.
After all, this is the core figure of the Mellon family. Even Bloomberg in later generations is far from being comparable to a Mellon family.
Being able to have a good relationship with such a family is definitely good for the Dragon Fund. The energy of this big family is needed by the Dragon Fund.
On Saturday afternoon, Yang Jing and Bloomberg drove to riverhead, east of Long Island.
Riverhead is located at the beginning of the South Fork and the north fork at the eastern end of Long Island. These two famous forks at the eastern end of Long Island begin from riverhead.
The Konik river runs through the middle of riverhead, flows into Flanders Bay in the east of the city, and finally flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
The estate where Mr. Schiff hosted the reception was located on Hampton hill, less than four kilometers southwest of riverhead.
This is a manor with a long history. It is said that it was built by Andrew Mellon, who used to be Treasury Secretary for President Harding, President Coolidge and President Hoover.
The manor covers a large area. The main building is an ancient building with four floors, 60 meters long and more than 30 meters wide. This is a manor built by Andrew Mellon in 1898. It has a history of nearly 90 years.
The manor is hidden in the lush woods, and only one road extends from highway 51. There are many vines planted in the open space of the forest. In addition, in the south of the manor, there is a standard 18 hole golf course, a tennis court and an open-air swimming pool.
"These ancillary facilities and those vineyards belong to the manor. The manor covers a total area of 2300 acres, that is, more than 9 square kilometers of land around it belongs to the manor."
This figure makes Yang Jing also can't help but smack her tongue secretly. Long island, New York is a world-famous livable place. The house prices here are not generally expensive. The manor has a land of up to nine square kilometers here. The value of this land alone is very great now.
"It is said that Mr. Andrew Mellon's nephew, that is, Mr. Schiff's uncle, Mr. Richard King Mellon, nicknamed 'general', has always lived here. Mr. Richard King Mellon will also attend this commemorative reception. After all, this is a commemorative reception to commemorate the 130th anniversary of his father's birth."
"Is this Mr. Richard Kim Mellon the one who is keen on the army and rock?" Yang Jing asked.
"Yes, that's Mr. Mellon." Bloomberg also laughed.
When it comes to the Mellon family, we have to mention this Richard King Mellon and his cousin, Paul Mellon, the son of Andrew Mellon.
The two fathers are the founders of the Mellon family. The two brothers, one outside and one inside, have made the Mellon family prosperous. But when Andrew and Richard died, their sons Paul Mellon and Richard King Mellon were not so good.
Paul Mellon, in particular, is more interested in spending money than making money. The young man who graduated from Yale likes learning and art and is keen on running various foundations. He would rather manage the "National Art Museum" donated by old Mellon to the government than do business.
Although Richard Kim Mellon operated the family business in accordance with his father's last wish, the childe nicknamed "general" was more interested in the army and rock, especially in the "rolling stones" band than the family business
But anyway, Paul and Richard are the highest generation in the Mellon family. They are also the flag figures of the Mellon family.
Of course, if these two can be as powerful as their parents, the current Mellon family will certainly occupy a more important position in the United States.
Yang Jing and Bloomberg talked and laughed about the Mellon family. After the car stopped in the parking lot, they got out of the car and walked towards the ancient building.
