The diamond that Yang Jing auctioned really caused a sensation at the reception. Such a large cut diamond is rare, even in this top rich circle.
In particular, the diamond was taken out by the mysterious Cole Smith, which made some rich people present moved their minds.
Finally, the cut diamond was bought by a new generation man in his fifties from the west coast at a high price of $3.8 million. Later, Yang Jing learned that this guy is the boss of Northrop. Now Northrop has not merged with Grumman to become Northrop Grumman, but now Northrop is still one of the top major arms companies in the United States.
The consortium behind Northrop is the emerging California consortium after World War II.
Obviously, this is a good show to Yang Jing by the California consortium. Because Alfred Lewis, chairman and CEO of Bank of America, who came to the reception on behalf of the California consortium in the cigar house just now, had a good conversation with Yang Jing.
As an emerging consortium after World War II, the California consortium is closer to Yang Jing's concept in some aspects.
"Hey, Cole, thank you very much for providing this precious diamond." after the interspersed auction, Shi Kaifu, as the protagonist, immediately found Yang Jing and expressed his sincere thanks.
The auctions interspersed with this reception will eventually donate the proceeds to the Mellon family charity fund, and the diamond provided by Yang Jing sold for $3.8 million, which is equivalent to $3.8 million given by Yang Jing to the Mellon family charity fund.
This figure is a huge sum of money even after 30 years, not to mention 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 senior management of the Mellon family, this Cole Smith took out such precious diamonds, which is to release enough goodwill to the Mellon family. Naturally, the Mellon family will not let this goodwill pass by. They need the olive branch handed over by Cole Smith.
"It's nothing, Richard. Your grandfather is a figure I admire very much. I'm just sorry I haven't seen this great old man with my own eyes."
Good words don't cost money, and good words can get better results. Yang Jing definitely doesn't mind saying a few good words at some key times. In particular, such kind words are still said to an old man who has died for a long time. Yang Jing will not have any psychological burden.
The good atmosphere made the conversation between Yang Jing and Shi Kaifu last for a long time. They didn't stop talking until the next stage of the auction began.
The necklace provided by Bloomberg appeared in the auction at this stage. Sure enough, the necklace caused a great sensation as soon as it appeared.
Yang Jing could even feel the sour gas from the ladies who came to the reception with her husband.
The necklace did not live up to Bloomberg's expectations. It even sold for $1.7 million, more than double the price of the necklace that Bloomberg photographed that year.
"This guy is Harper Lawrence, chairman of Massachusetts mutual life insurance company. He's a nuisance!" skeff whispered in Yang Jing's ear.
The man who took the necklace was a fat white man in his 60s. When he got the necklace, the fat man's excited face changed.
"People from the Boston consortium?" Yang Jing asked Schiff with a trace of disgust for the fat man.
"Yes, behind this guy stands the Boston consortium. To be exact, he is the contemporary core figure of the Lawrence family, and the Lawrence family is an important part of the Boston consortium. This annoying guy had ideas about Monroe more than 20 years ago, but it's a pity that John was there at that time, and this guy can't compete with John." scaff said positively.
Because the Mellon family and the Boston consortium belong to the east coast, there will inevitably be some fierce competition. Now the Mellon family and the Boston consortium are only maintaining superficial harmony. It is not enough for outsiders to know what kind of competition the two big guys will have secretly.
As for John, as skeff said, it was the famous President Kennedy.
Everyone knows what has to be said between President Kennedy and Monroe, and Kennedy's ability to become president is said to have a great relationship with the full support of the Boston consortium. The relationship between the Boston consortium and the Kennedy family is very iron.
But Yang Jing didn't expect that the fat man, as an important figure in the Boston consortium, would never forget Kennedy's women. And from the look on the fat man's face just now, what Schiff said is obviously true. The fat man definitely has ideas about Monroe.
In this regard, Yang Jing can only secretly sigh - your circle is really chaotic!
"Thank you very much for the auction items provided by you and your enthusiastic participation in the auction. Next, I will take out three auction items provided by our Mellon family..." Timothy Mellon, one of the fourth generation members of the Mellon family, is speaking on the stage. Compared with his father Paul Mellon, this guy doesn't rely on music score, He is almost indifferent to the family business.
However, on this occasion, he was still very perfect. He was not allowed to play childe's temper on this occasion.
Since it is an auction for the family's charity fund, it is impossible for the Mellon family, as the host, not to take out some precious auction items for auction.
The first auction item was a portrait of John Singh Sargent. Sargent is the most famous portrait painter in the United States at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. His portraits are famous in the United States and even in the world.
As soon as the painting was taken out, it was sought after by many people. Even if the size of the painting was not very large, it finally sold for $8.8 million, which is the highest auction price today.
The second work turned out to be a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin.
Rodin is a master of modern sculpture comparable to Michelangelo. His bronze age and thinker are rare masterpieces.
Although the bronze sculpture named "the climber" taken out by the Mellon family is not Rodin's most famous works, it is also quite extraordinary bronze sculpture. Therefore, as soon as this work was exposed, it immediately caused a sensation for everyone on the scene.
Rodin's position 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 mountaineer.
However, the holy ring, which had not moved for a long time, directly stopped Yang Jing, which made Yang Jing regret to see that the climber was finally photographed by Harry Morgan from the Morgan family for $32 million.
The price immediately surpassed the portrait just now and became the highest auction item today.
Although the price is high, it is nothing compared with Rodin's other works. Even Yang Jing, who will pay for those precious works of art 20 or 30 years later, knows that if this work is auctioned in 20 years, it will definitely exceed $100 million.
Harry Morgan was able to win the 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 such a work of Rodin is shot at a formal auction, it will never be won without a price of $50 million.
The first two works taken out by the Mellon family have been sold at sky high prices. In this era, works of art that can exceed tens of millions of dollars are not common.
However, when Timothy Mellon took out the third auction item, everyone present was a little silly.
What is this?
Timothy's hand was holding a black box about the size of an adult's fist. The surface of the box was full of horizontal articles. It seemed that the box was made up of dozens of horizontal bars of different sizes. And the box seems incomplete, it seems to be missing a part.
Everyone took turns to go up and look at the box, but no one could recognize what the strange and seemingly 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 identification, this box has a history of nearly 1100 years. Our family once invited a Chinese appraiser from Chinatown to identify this box. According to the Chinese appraiser, this box Zizi was a box called "Luban box" in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period of China. It was only because some of it was incomplete that the box could not be opened normally. Moreover, the Chinese appraiser affirmed that only royal craftsmen had the ability to make this kind of exquisite Luban box at that time, so this box should have come from the royal family of China more than 1000 years ago. Although the box cannot be opened, it has a history of more than 1000 years, and it was still a royal article at that time, so it is of great historical significance. "
As timothy said, although the box is incomplete, it is a silver box with a history of more than 1000 years and owned by the ancient royal family in China. Therefore, after Timothy's explanation, many people immediately prepared to take pictures of the box.
As for Yang Jing, after seeing the box, she was stunned
