The meeting with the Koch brothers made Yang Jing go over the development plan of the past two years. It has to be said that this is a good era. As long as we seize the opportunity, there will be gold everywhere.
With the conversation with the Koch brothers, more and more people came together.
The man who appeared on this occasion today is really too mysterious. Just now, they came out of the cigar house next door with the core figures of the top ten consortia. After they came out, the Koch brothers, the top tycoons in New York, immediately joined together.
Who the hell is this guy?
In fact, Americans have a lot of gossip. For people or things they don't know, they often take the most direct action to understand.
For example, Yang Jing met Sam Walton, the founder of Wal Mart, the richest man in the United States in 1985. 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 him to make friends with the retail emperor.
After all, even when Sam Walton died, his children took over the old man's banner and pushed Wal Mart to the world. The Waltons are well worth making friends with.
In addition, Bernard Arnott, the head of LVMH group, a Frenchman about the same age as Cole Smith, has just taken over the flag of Louis Vuitton for a few years. But this guy is very powerful. As soon as he took over Louis Vuitton, he swallowed Dior like a snake.
Bernard Arnott is also the owner who can often be listed in the top 20 of Forbes rich list after 30 years. His luxury Empire swept the world in the next 30 years, especially in China after becoming rich, and he flocked to Arnott's major brands
This time, Bernard Arnott also happened to be dealing with a business in the United States. When he received the invitation, he rushed over.
In addition, some financial giants on Wall Street also came to talk with Yang Jing one after another. Until the reception officially began, this kind of greetings came to an end.
The reception was held in a large banquet hall on the first floor of the building. The area of the banquet hall is very large, which absolutely exceeds 600 square meters. It is more than enough to accommodate the 70 or 80 people who came to the banquet today.
At this time, applause broke out in one corner of the hall, and then the applause quickly spread to the whole hall, and everyone began to clap their hands.
Yang Jing was no exception. As he applauded, he looked in the direction where the applause first sounded, and saw seven or eight people coming out of a door in the corner of the hall.
The head is a hale and hearty old man, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Schiff, but Schiff is still pushing a wheelchair with an older old man in it.
Yang Jing knows that if there is no accident, today's protagonist will appear.
Sure enough, when the seven or eight people stood still, the old man who took the lead picked up the microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the long island Mellon manor. Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the reception commemorating the 130th anniversary of the birth of the distinguished Mr. Richard beaty Mellon. I'm Paul Mellon. Here I welcome you on behalf of my cousin Richard King Mellon and my family..."
After this self introduction, Yang Jing knew that the old man talking was another of the two contemporary banner figures of the Mellon family, that is, Andrew Mellon's son Paul.
The old man in the wheelchair is Richard King Mellon, the son of Richard Beatie Mellon. The two old men are cousins.
Those behind are naturally the core figures of the Mellon family.
"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. Our family developed rapidly under his leadership..."
Although Paul is not keen on family business, he has to admit that his eloquence is very good. After this opening speech, he won warm applause from everyone present.
In the United States, Richard Beattie Mellon is a legend. If his father Thomas Mellon founded the foundation of the Mellon family, he and his brother Andrew Mellon are the key figures in the rise of the Mellon family.
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.
Later in 2012, Forbes once re counted the top 15 richest people in American history. In order to more accurately reflect their impact on the American economy, Forbes converted everyone's personal assets into US dollars in 2006 compared with the then US gross domestic product (GDP).
Richard Mellon ranks sixth with $82.3 billion, while his brother Andrew Mellon ranks 14th with $50.5 billion. This is also the only pair of brothers on the list.
Although such an old man has died for a long time, this does not hinder people's respect for him.
After Paul finished his opening remarks, Richard King Mellon said a few words with trembling. He is nearly 90 years old this year and is in poor health. It is not easy to insist on appearing at the reception.
When the two brothers finished talking, the reception officially began. As Bloomberg said before, there are auctions of some precious items interspersed in the middle of the reception.
This auction is naturally a charity auction, and all the money from the auction will be donated to the A.W. Mellon education charity trust founded by Andrew Mellon with $58 million.
This kind of charity auction is different from that in Hollywood or other places. It is a really high-grade charity auction. After all, people who can come to this occasion have at least $100 million.
In such a charity auction, the items taken out by these rich people can't be those worth tens of thousands of dollars. At least, the items they take out must be items worth 100000 dollars.
For example, the auction item Bloomberg brought today is a grandmother emerald + diamond necklace. Bloomberg was still in the car when he took out the necklace.
The appearance of this necklace is a little out of date, and the value of the necklace itself is up to $200.3 million. If Bloomberg doesn't say the origin of this necklace, Yang Jing really doesn't like it.
"This is a necklace worn by Marilyn Monroe when she won the 17th Golden Globe Award for the best actress in film - musical comedy in 1960 with that film like fire. I photographed it at an auction three years ago for $800000..." looking at this necklace, Bloomberg's eyes were full of reluctance.
Yang Jinglei was impressed by this. Looking at Bloomberg's silver expression, it was obvious that this was also a Sao year fascinated by Monroe's amorous feelings.
In terms of Bloomberg's age, when Monroe swept the United States and the world, Bloomberg was just a little fresh meat in his teens. How could he not be fascinated by that amorous woman?
I just don't know if this guy's wife Margaret will give this guy a roar after she knows that he even collected a necklace that Monroe wore close to her in those years
Well, the necklace that this guy took out is really very valuable. Although the necklace itself is not worth money, once it is hooked with Monroe, it is estimated that all men under the age of 60 present today must be moved.
Yang Jing is complaining about this old year, but this year of complaining is also very interested in Yang Jing's auction products. He also wants to see what Yang Jing is going to auction today.
To be honest, this is Yang Jing's first time to attend such a top-level reception. He didn't know that people attending the reception needed to bring a high-grade auction product before, so he was not prepared at all.
But his storage space is full of good things, and any one can be worth millions of dollars.
"Take a Monet's oil painting?" Yang Jing immediately shook her head and rejected the idea. Monet's works are also very popular in the United States. Even in the 1980s, a Monet's oil painting had to be worth tens of millions of dollars. It is obviously inappropriate to take out such a painting on this occasion.
Among the treasures of the last czar obtained in Siberia, some oil paintings that have done a good job in cultural protection have been put back into the storage space by Yang Jing, so now he has no shortage of famous paintings.
"Then why don't you take a golden scepter?" Yang Jing immediately rejected the idea. There are also two gold scepters found in Gaddafi's treasure in the space. They are made of gold and don't need maintenance at all. If you wipe them casually, they will immediately become golden.
However, the value of this gold scepter is also quite high. After all, it is something from ancient Egypt and a genuine antique cultural relic. If you really want to calculate the value, it is really difficult to calculate. It is not uncommon for people to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy it when they meet local tyrants who like ancient Egyptian culture.
Yang Jing also thought of the eight character Escudo gold coins in the pirate treasures obtained in arlet. Although the value of such a gold coin can be sold for us $4.5 million in future generations, it is hard to say now. After all, the gold coin collection is not very popular now. It is a small collection. If no one allows this kind of gold coin, it will be depressing at that time.
Yang Jing also wanted to find a set of jewelry from the treasure of the last tsar, but Bloomberg had already taken out a necklace. If she took another set of jewelry, it would seem to be a legendary car crash.
The most important thing is that the jewelry once worn by the Russian queen or even the queen may be worth much more than the necklace taken out by Bloomberg, but it can't stand Bloomberg. This necklace was once worn by Monroe. This is the United States. Who knows if those rich Americans don't hang the queen or queen of Russia?
Bloomberg has been urging, and Yang Jing can't help it. Finally, reluctantly, he took out a colorless diamond the size of a broad bean from the box containing many gemstones.
This diamond is a cut diamond. It's so big and weighs more than 30 carats. It's an absolute super large diamond.
Even in this era, the starting price of super large diamonds with more than 30 carats is at the level of millions of dollars. Most importantly, even in the United States, such a large cut diamond is very rare
