"John, this is my mother's birthday party at the end of this month. I look forward to your presence. The place is in the rainbow hall on the top floor of the main building of Rockefeller Center."
Before leaving, Yang Xuelan handed Li Feng an invitation card, but it was Yan Youyun's annual birthday banquet invitation card.
"Oh, it's my pleasure. Does the rainbow hall need me to say hello?" Li Feng replied with a smile.
"Hehe... No, we've arranged it."
"OK, in that case, I'll leave first. I hope President Yang will consider my suggestions. I think if we can reach cooperation, we will have a very happy cooperation."
"Don't worry, I'll think about it."
"Well, I look forward to your reply."
"Bye!"
“…”
After saying goodbye to Yan Youyun, the once great devil city figure, Li Feng also said goodbye to Yang Xuelan, Tang LiuQian and other current leaders.
Sitting in the car, Li Feng held the invitation card for the old lady's birthday party and said to himself, "the rainbow Hall of Rockefeller Center, sure enough, the wealth of these Chinese families can't be underestimated."
The rainbow Hall of Rockefeller Center is famous in New York. It is the top party place in New York. It is not only wealth, but also fame and status that ordinary people can book to hold a banquet here. Li Feng, now the owner of the Rockefeller Center, can't be clearer.
……
"John, are you going to this birthday party?"
"Hehe... It's OK to go and see. In fact, I'm very curious. You know, the relatives and friends in the life circle of Yan Youyun almost spread throughout the political, commercial and cultural circles during the period of the Republic of China, and the famous families in China have deep ties with him."
This is actually Li Feng's real idea. The purpose of going to the banquet is to see some of these once influential families. Li Feng is still very curious when he is reborn.
Song and Kong, the four famous families, Gu and Yan (Yang), the diplomatic and commercial families, as well as Bei and Rong, the two branches of America, and a large number of Chinese families who immigrated to America that year. It is estimated that they can be seen at Yan Youyun's birthday party.
Of course, I'm not going to pursue it. After all, according to my identity, no one is qualified to pursue it. I'm already standing at the top of the pyramid in the world. I'm just curious.
"What gift are you preparing?"
"Also, since we always go to the birthday banquet with birthday gifts, well, recently we have got so much gold. We melt a gold chain to create a golden longevity peach, and then find a Chinese calligrapher and painter to draw a Chinese watercolor painting. The theme is the Antarctic fairy, a Chinese immortal symbolizing longevity. What do you think?"
"That's good. It's very suitable for people's birthday party. However, if you want to find a Chinese painter to draw a Chinese figure painting, I think it's easier for you to discuss with Jana and let her find it."
"Well, Jana really has a wider network in this regard. OK, that's it."
"That's OK. As for the golden peach, I'll arrange it."
"Hey, hey... It's very kind of you, sister Qing!"
“…”
A chat decided to participate in the birthday banquet gift, but soon crooked building, but it became a private flirt between lovers.
……
When Li Feng returned to his mansion again, he saw that Zhou Jiana was directing a group of people to decorate works of art in the whole villa and mansion. Li Feng saw a large number of Chinese calligraphy and paintings, sculptures of all sizes, and Chinese furniture decorations being rearranged.
"Eh... Jana, have you settled with an Siyuan?"
"Yes, there are a total of more than 2500 works of art from the East and the west, including 1700 works of art from China, and the rest are all kinds of Asian works of art from Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and India, as well as works of art from Europe and the United States.
An Siyuan himself also left some of his favorite works of art. Fortunately, John, the inscriptions, ancient calligraphy and painting, furniture, etc. you pointed out at that time have been traded by us. It can be said that the most valuable Chinese works of art of an Siyuan have been basically swept away by us. What he left is not the most valuable, but something he personally feels more memorable.
However, John, there are few top Chinese modern art works you want, only a few works by Shi Lu and Pan Tianshou. Most of the rest are ordinary. Most of ANN Siyuan's top Chinese modern calligraphy and painting are donated to major museums in the United States, especially metropolis. However, Ann Siyuan said that he would trade some modern calligraphy and painting in a few days.
Obviously, as you guessed before, John, an Siyuan donated only a part of these paintings and calligraphy. Although a very important part is displayed in the museum, it is estimated that the ownership belongs to an Siyuan himself.
Moreover, an Siyuan has begun to contact his teachers and future generations. Perhaps, John, you can get a large number of calligraphy and painting works of "Badashan people" in modern China. "
"Great!"
"Jana, how much did it cost in total?" Wang Siqing also asked curiously.
"It's OK. The total cost is $45 million."
"More than 2000 works of art are worth so much money?" Wang Siqing replied a little unexpectedly.
"Hehe... Do you think art works are sky high prices? Those works of art with millions or tens of millions of dollars are very rare in the market, and they are basically Western works of art. Most of an Siyuan's collections are Asian works of art. Except for some limited ones, most of the prices are very cheap." Zhou Jiana explained with a smile.
"Hehe... In short, I think it's very cost-effective. Some of these works of art can be used to decorate our manor houses in New York and Los Angeles, and some can be collected and become the family heritage in the future."
“…”
……
Li Feng first heard of an Siyuan in his previous life. It was after an Siyuan hung up in his later life, as if 14 or 15 years later. Suddenly, it was revealed on the Internet that an Siyuan's private collection was auctioned. At that time, after others died, the collection was auctioned for more than $100 million.
At that time, Chinese collectors, many Chinese tycoons and representatives gathered in New York to participate in the auction. Because most of them were Chinese works of art, it set off a burst of an Siyuan information on the Chinese network. After all, they were antique works of art in their own country.
As for the number of private collections of an Siyuan at that time, Li Feng can't remember clearly, but it should not be as much as he bought this time. He bought more than 2500 pieces at one time.
What Li Feng doesn't know is that later generations waited until an Siyuan died, because he died suddenly, but he left a will long before he died. Through Christie's auction, he conducted a three-day auction. It is said that there are more than 1400 works of art, most of which were photographed by Chinese collectors and rich people.
Obviously, by the time of 2014 and 2015, an Siyuan had either sold or donated many works of art.
According to Zhou Jiana, an Siyuan himself left some souvenirs, about hundreds, especially the most precious works of art were listed in the transaction, and the rest were swept away by Li Feng.
It can also be seen that an Siyuan is a real antique dealer rather than a collector. As long as the price is appropriate, nothing can be traded.
Li Feng is really satisfied with the transaction with an Siyuan. If these works of art are turned 4 or 5 times after 10 years, it's like playing.
Besides so many Chinese artworks, Li Feng has enough ability to install 13. When the network is fully popularized in the future, Li Feng naturally takes people to China to donate some artworks from time to time. It is estimated that the style, invisible pattern, goodwill and invisible influence gained in China will rise.
At that time, Li Feng could also tell people that I now pay attention to charity. There is enough money, just a number. I am a civilized person with spiritual pursuit.
……
With Zhou Jiana taking people to place various works of art around the mansion, Li Feng also participated in it with great interest.
