In fact, really speaking, Li Feng's personal collection is no worse than some smaller museums, and even slightly better, especially in the Chinese collection and Indian collection. There is no way, let alone the Chinese collection. Through an Siyuan's continuous acquisition of many Chinese art products, Li Feng is now about to become the largest collector of Chinese culture and art in the United States.
As for the Indian collection, it is obviously the help of the previous treasure. After all, the value of works of art in the billions of Indian treasures can be imagined. Of course, in fact, more than half of the billions of treasures are gold and jewelry, and the works of art only account for about 3-4 floors.
There are many other works of art in Europe and America, including the paintings of the three masters of the Renaissance, as well as various works of art with the most famous names in the world art market, such as Picasso and Van Gogh. In terms of the quality of private collection, Li Feng's private collection may be comparable only to those of the top ancient families.
This is Li Feng's crazy acquisition at a huge cost. After all, Li Feng knows that the works of art will continue to be refreshed and create new peaks in the next 10 to 20 years, and Li Feng, who doesn't need money, let Zhou Jiana's team sweep the goods in the international art market.
At least so far, nearly $1 billion has been spent. At present, the art market is not so crazy. A top art is worth tens of millions of dollars. Those masterpieces worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars are actually very rare when the dollar is still strong.
Fortunately, most of them are private transactions or anonymous acquisitions and auctions. For example, the Weng family contacted by an Siyuan this time has acquired so many Chinese artworks in secret transactions.
It may not be a secret in front of some specially concerned forces, but for most ordinary people, it is a secret. If the media is exposed, it is estimated to be another big news.
Next, Zhou Jiana spent three days with Li Feng at the century manor. Then she took a group of her team and flew directly to Switzerland in a private plane provided by Li Feng, ready to "have a good chat and exchange" with Picasso's successor.
......
"Ernest, Alberto, nice to see you again!" In the office on the top floor of the century building in Los Angeles, Li Feng saw Ernest and Alberto, two big bangji men he hadn't seen for some time, and immediately greeted them with a smile.
Now, the negotiation of St. John's investment holding company led by Li Shanquan, together with CSCB group and BlackRock group to take shares in Bangui has basically ended, leaving the final signing. Naturally, it needs to be confirmed by Li Feng, the big boss behind the scenes, before signing.
"John, we will be a family in the future. We should take care of it more in the future!"
"Hehe, both of you, I have given you 25% of the voting rights. What kind of support do you want from me!"
"Hehe... In short, thank John for your trust!"
"Boss, Ernest and Alberto, this is the prepared contract backup. It is the model for St. John's investment holding company, CSCB group and BlackRock to take shares in Bangui respectively. After confirmation by both parties, the CEOs of the three companies will be responsible for signing contracts with Bangui.
Similarly, there is a cooperation contract signed between St. John's agricultural company and Bangui company. " At this time, Li Shanquan came in with people and handed Li Feng and bangji a document, which is a model contract for cooperation.
This time, as part of the cooperative transaction, Li Feng promised to directly hand over the voting rights of 25% of his shares to the Bangui family represented by Ernest, and promised 10 years. As for 10 years later, it will depend on the situation.
This is also one of the trading conditions for Li Feng to get 25% of the shares and obtain the voting rights of the same shares. For Li Feng, 10 years is actually a good time. After all, he is just 28 years old 10 years later, and that time period 10 years later is a very key time point for Li Feng.
In fact, according to the news received by Li Feng, the shares of the original bangji family and the shareholders behind him have been diluted to less than half, and the remaining shares have been occupied by major American consortia and several public funds of the government. This is the proxy of bangji's choice to enter the United States.
Who makes America the only superpower in the world, and food trading giants such as Bangui are very dependent on countries.
However, these shares basically have only half of the voting rights. Obviously, this is designed by the Bangui family and the shareholders behind the former Bangui company, that is, they still retain the control of the company.
......
I listened to Li Shanquan, Ernest and Alberto introduce the contents of the contract respectively. Although I had seen the contract before, I listened carefully again. Only then did I nod to the three and sign my agreement.
"Shanquan, please inform Jamie and Larry. Just do as you say. It's up to you next."
"OK, boss, I'll contact Jamie and Larry. I think they're waiting for your news."
"Ernest and Alberto, we are really a family now. I hope we can cooperate happily!" Li Feng turned his head and said to the two people on one side.
"Hehe... John, this is also what we hope. We still need your strong support in America in the future. I believe bangji can give great returns to shareholders and investors."
"That's natural, and I hope so, don't I?"
"Bangui has never disappointed the major shareholders of the company in more than 100 years."
"OK, I think this time is suitable for a glass of champagne. What do you think?"
"Ha ha... A glass of champagne would be perfect!"
“...”
"Amy, bring me my champagne collection!" Li Feng turned to the office, then held down the phone and said directly.
"Boss, OK, right away!"
Soon, a beautiful woman of about 30 dressed in professional clothes and strong women appeared in the office. This is Amy Garcia, who is temporarily Li Feng's personal assistant. She is a beautiful workplace beauty. This is one of the Deputy Secretarial Assistant team selected by Wang Siqing to help Li Feng.
"OK, ladies and gentlemen, I wish our future cooperation more pleasant, cheers!"
“Cheers!”
“...”
......
Obviously, with the cooperation with bangji family and taking a stake in bangji company, it has opened a gap for Li Feng to get involved in commodity trade. Bangji naturally occupies an important position in grain trade, and another focus is Glencore, which is coveted by Li Feng.
Whether Bangui or Glencore, perhaps in terms of real income, they may not be able to give Li Feng crazy benefits, but the potential influence is huge, which is more powerful than that of ordinary high-tech companies.
Watching the two bangji families drinking champagne with themselves, Li Feng felt a burst of complacency. We have begun to get involved in the field of commodities. Next, it depends on the ability of all parties.
Similarly, Ernest and Alberto were in a good mood at this time. After all, they attracted Li Feng, the potential super rich in the United States, which naturally made them happy.
For one thing, it has obtained sufficient cash support. For example, Li Feng bought the shares this time, but it was directly purchased with real gold and silver. Bangji was valued at US $12 billion, and 25% of the shares were purchased at a premium of US $15 billion. 25% of the shares cost a lot.
However, Li Feng's personal expenses are not much. The two funds of St. John's investment holding company account for 2.5% of the shares respectively, and the remaining 20% of the shares are occupied by BlackRock and CSCB, of which CSCB accounts for 15%.
Secondly, it is naturally supported by Li Feng. For example, CSCB will become a cooperative bank of Bangui in the future. After all, CSCB has a great influence in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and other places, which is very important for multinational large grain traders such as Bangui.
This is also applicable to Glencore, which is one of the strengths of Li Feng to take shares in the two giants.
......
For the future, Li Feng is looking forward to it more and more.
