The straight-line distance between San Francisco on the west coast of the United States and New York on the east coast is more than 4100 kilometers. Of course, if you drive on Interstate 80, you need to walk 4600 kilometers, which takes nearly two days.

Even if old Mike's Boeing bbj3 business plane flies at a cruising speed of 955 km / h, it takes a little more than five hours to take off and land.

Old Mike's plane didn't land at Kennedy airport or LaGuardia Airport, but at Newark International Airport West of Manhattan. It is mainly because old Mike has a manor here in princefield. Usually, if he doesn't live in his hometown Baton Rouge, he will live in this manor.

This estate is far away from Kennedy airport or LaGuardia Airport in the east of Manhattan, so old Mike rented a hangar here at Newark Airport for a long time, and his planes usually take off and land at this airport.

Newark Airport is a little farther from Manhattan's Fifth Avenue than LaGuardia Airport. However, the road here is easier. Go straight along Interstate 78, and then cross the Dutch tunnel at the bottom of the Hudson River to reach Manhattan Island directly.

Old Mike's Boeing bbj3 business plane was much faster than the C17 transport plane, so when Yang Jing and his family arrived at the private museum on Fifth Avenue from Newark Airport, they had lunch and waited for more than an hour before they waited for the babies.

The two transport planes also landed at Newark Airport, and then union Barton's branch in New York took over the escort of the babies. But it was still the middle-aged man Nathan had told him before.

Old Mike didn't follow him. Rao was still in good health, but continuous flight also tossed him a lot, so he didn't follow him. He needed to have a good rest at home.

But with Nathan, everything is not a problem.

The private museum that old Mike bought for $40 million 25 years ago is located on East 95th street, with the famous museum Avenue in the West.

The so-called Museum Avenue actually refers to the famous Fifth Avenue, which is located in the north half of the Central Park. Fifth Avenue is very long, but the section between 80th street and 105th street is crowded with famous museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of art, Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, Jewish Museum, Solomon Guggenheim Art Museum and National College Museum. In addition, there are more than 100 national or private museums of different sizes, Therefore, this section of Avenue is called "Museum Avenue" by New York.

Old Mike was entrusted by Yang Jing to buy antique works of art all over the world with the abundant funds of the Dragon Fund. As a result, he bought more and more antique works of art, and finally there was no place to put them, so the old man simply spent $40 million on a bankrupt private museum on Museum Avenue.

This is a four storey brick red building, located in the south of East 95th street. There is an iron railing at the door, and an iron gate is closed.

According to Nathan, the four storey building area of the private museum was more than 4000 square meters. At that time, if the owner of the private museum had not gone bankrupt, he could not have bought the building at this location for $40 million.

That's true. Even in 1995, a house in this location would not be less than $15000 per square meter. Old Mike was able to buy the building for $40 million, which was only about $10000 per square meter, which was definitely a leak.

Because the building was a museum before, old Mike didn't make a big move on the building except for simple decoration and replacement of security facilities after buying it. Therefore, all the antique works of art bought by old Mike over the years have been put here.

The museum is specially protected by dark shield people. Naturally, there is no need to worry about security.

When Yang Jing walked into the museum, he was shocked by the dazzling array of antique works of art inside.

Yang Jing feels that she has got enough treasures from the treasures she found, but compared with the antique works collected by old Mike over the years, the quantity is still far from enough.

There are thousands of these antique works of art in the museum, most of which were collected by old Mike before the new century. Yang Jing remembers that old Mike once said a figure to himself, that is, over the years, the money he spent on purchasing these antique works of art alone has reached more than $2 billion. The museum has a total collection of about 4200 antique works of art, and the average purchase price of each antique art is about $500000.

Most of these antique works of art were purchased by old Mike in the 1980s and early 1990s. At that time, US dollars were quite valuable, and the price of US $500000 was definitely not low.

Of course, among these antique works of art, there are oil paintings painted by top masters with a purchase price of tens of millions of dollars, and a complete set of antique silver tableware with a purchase price of only tens of thousands of dollars. But whether it's oil painting or those silver tableware, the price has doubled several times.

Like Paul Cezanne's oil painting "bathing" that old Mike once spent $13 million from an auction in Europe. Now, if it is auctioned, 100 million US dollars is only the starting price!

Even those sets of Victorian Royal silver tableware he photographed for tens of thousands of dollars are now worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!

Therefore, investing in antique art is actually a good business. Of course, the premise is that you should invest in antique art early enough. For example, old Mike began to invest in antique works of art in the early 1980s according to Yang Jing's instructions, which is naturally a very good time. If you invest in this industry in the new century, it won't be much fun.

In general, the collection of this museum alone is now worth no less than $20 billion!

To put it bluntly, if Yang Jing has no money in the future, just selling these antique works of art will be enough to make him comfortable for eight years.

When the convoy arrived, the man in charge of the dark shield of the museum took over the rest of the work. Although the museum bears the name of the museum, it has not been open to the public since old Mike took over. To put it bluntly, old Mike bought the museum as a vault.

Although it is safer to store these antique works of art in the bank vault, it is easy to expose the specific situation of these antique works of art. So old Mike wisely bought the museum as a vault.

Anyway, it's a private museum. I don't open to the public. No one can say anything else. Besides, the dark shield is not short of people. A large group of trusted retired soldiers squat here and take turns on duty 24 hours a day. It is estimated that no thief dares to put his coveted eyes here.

This is a private museum. If anyone dares to commit a crime here, the retired soldiers with weapons will definitely let the thieves feel what the battlefield in Iraq or Afghanistan is

There are many people and great strength. Besides, after these boxes are transported to the museum, they don't have to be opened and rearranged. Just ask Yang Jing to open them for inspection, and then put them in order. Therefore, a group of people have been busy for more than ten minutes, and all these boxes have been moved into the museum.

Watching all the babies enter the museum safely, Yang Jing and Nathan are completely relieved.

When old Mike comes tomorrow with the nominal curator of the museum, he can issue "cultural relics exchange" documents for all the items in the museum. Yang Jing also has a Grand Canal Museum. No one can say anything else about the exchange of cultural relics between the two museums.

As for those antique works of art that are not allowed to leave the country, who cares! Who can control it? With the current contacts of the Dragon Fund, even the U.S. Customs can't control these antique works of art for cultural relics exchange.

It's no big deal that those sensitive antique works of art directly pass through the customs under the name of "imitation products"!

Of course, experts have to do these procedures. Those works of art can leave the country, and those works of art cannot leave the country. The named curator knows best. The curator still knows best how to handle the formalities for cultural relics exchange. With experts, money and contacts, everything is fine.

However, it will take several days to go through these procedures, so Yang Jing is not going to wait here. When he explains to old Mike tomorrow, he needs to return home. There are still a series of things to deal with after returning home.

That night, Yang Jing lived in the apartment on Fifth Avenue, which was the first apartment Yang Jing bought in New York.

After the outbreak of the stock market disaster in the United States that year, the real estate price in the United States plummeted. Old Mike took the opportunity to buy such a top-level leapfrog apartment for Cole Smith on Fifth Avenue, which is also the first real estate purchased by Yang Jing in the past time and space.

The location of this house is very good. It is located in the southeast corner of the Central Park, opposite the Central Park and next to the Plaza Hotel. The house has three floors. The upper two floors are still thermoclines. There is also a huge sky garden outside, with a total area of more than 12000 square feet, that is, about 1100 square meters.

When I bought the house, I only spent $9 million because house prices fell sharply. Now, the value of this house has exceeded $100 million, and if it was placed at the highest point of American house prices before the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, the price of this house would reach $150 million!

However, after buying the house, Yang Jing rarely lived. When he was in New York, he would live in the manor in East Hampton on long island most of the time. This time Yang Jing didn't want to go to long island again, so she lived here.

Although the house has been bought for more than 30 years and has not been inhabited for a long time, the house is well maintained. Although no one lives in this house, the property fee paid in a year is very high. If the property company of this apartment building dare not maintain the house, Yang Jing can sue the property company for bankruptcy!

Living in this top-level luxury apartment with dozens of floors, Yang Jing can personally feel what is called the super rich class.

In any case, even if you were tired of more and more pain in the past, when you stand on the large roof outside the house and look down on the central park opposite, all the hard work will drift away with the wind!

This feeling is really wonderful
