Chapter 1379: Don't Be Crazy
Mr. Zipper was already a little speechless at Zhang Nan's handwriting, this is just a house to entertain guests, and it is actually decorated with such a precious famous painting, so what is it used to decorate the main building of this ridiculously large super manor?
It's hard to imagine, but there's no need to rush, it will be revealed in more than two hours.
As for the two sky-high oil paintings, when it was confirmed that they were genuine, Hillary and her husband had to think more.
When Hillary Clinton looked at the portrait hanging in her study, she whispered to her husband, "Could this be a warning?"
Mr. Zipper shook his head and said, "Probably not, I have checked, there is a small amount of dust on the top of the frame, and it was just a coincidence that we decided to be a guest last week."
Also, there are no bugs here, Mr. Allen is a person with an identity, and Vincent has checked it, so we can speak with confidence. ”
Vincent, Mr. Zipper's head of security, he was when he was a senator, and he has a lot of experience.
The manor is very clean, the study is even cleaner, and it is obvious that someone will clean it from time to time, but the maintenance and cleaning of the famous paintings hanging on it will only be carried out once in a while, and even this frame is not allowed to be wiped from time to time.
Hygiene is a good thing, but it also depends on the occasion and the object.
Hearing her husband's words, Hillary looked at the portrait again, "I remember that little devil jumped off the building and died, it should have been a year and a half." ”
There is more than one in the news.
"Almost, I almost didn't those who engage in art last year.
That's good, the mystery is solved. ”
"In the news, it was said that the paintings were mortgaged to the bank, and I forgot what the bank was. ”
Mr. Zipper also followed his wife's gaze to the oil painting on the wall, and said, "I don't remember the name of the bank, who would pay attention to that, but I know one thing." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Sunshine Star Group has a large amount of investment in Japan, and it is most familiar with the financial field, and there are many small devil companies that have been collapsed and acquired by it, and several of them have been swallowed alive by it!
Some economic experts I know say that Allen's financial company has made at least $500 to 100 billion in cash in Japan in recent years, and there may be hundreds of billions of dollars in fixed assets that have been swallowed and acquired.
The banks in Japan and Ben are all privately joint-stock and not many are super-large, so it is not strange to swallow, integrate, or even destroy a few banks by means of financial warfare, it is normal.
It is not difficult for Sunshine Star, capital market and capital are the strongest weapons!
Over the years, there are too many little devils to count who have jumped off the building, and there are many people who have been indirectly killed by the sunshine and stars.
But... I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, he was born in China, otherwise if he participates in the presidential election in 20 years, there is a chance that he will win. ”
This is very interesting, lucky or unlucky, I don't know if it is for Zhang Nan personally, or from the position of the United States as a whole.
Maybe both.
"Baba, do you think we should be happy to have such a powerful ally?"
Baba, the nickname used by Mr. Zipper's family, and perhaps a handful of decades-old friends will call him that.
But in a few months, in addition to the family, it is estimated that this nickname will have to disappear automatically.
Hearing his wife's words, Mr. Zipper smiled: "At least for now, why not be happy?"
Friends, we can save a lot of trouble if we have friends like this, no, friends, it's better than being an opponent.
Those old families are darker than the other, I don't want to be a puppet of a microphone in the future, this Alan may be able to give us more room to operate, and it should be clear after this open and honest conversation. ”
In 1990, at an auction in the Montmartre district of Paris, a Japanese named Ryohei Saito won the French impressionist master Renoir's "The Ball at the Moulin Rouge" for a sky-high price of 78.1 million US dollars.
Generous, what is this guy doing?
The president of the little devil Showa Paper, who produces paper, is rich, but it is not up to the level of the world's top rich, but he likes to collect art very much, and his personality is very conceited and arrogant!
A small meaning of "The Ball at the Moulin Rouge", Ryohei Saito also bought the portrait painted by Van Gogh for Dr. Gachet, who took care of him a month before he committed suicide, and spent a sky-high price of 152 million US dollars, directly breaking the auction record of the world's famous paintings!
At the end of '89, there were a lot of little devils who jumped off the building because of the stock market crash, but most of these unlucky people were investors, and the major shareholders of listed companies were just a reduction in the numbers on paper.
Besides, the stock market has collapsed, but there is a lag period for a full-scale recession, otherwise Ryohei Saito would not have spent more than $200 million on a painting at one time, let alone his crazy clamor last year!
At the beginning of last year, Ryohei Saito also declared: When I die, I will set "The Ball at the Moulin Rouge" and "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" on fire at the same time!
The little devil is very good at playing, and this immediately caused public anger, but others can't help it: what can people do with personal items that they spend a lot of money on?
It is estimated that the crazy Saito Ryohei also thinks so: These paintings are my paintings, and I have to be my paintings when I die, and none of you want to have them!
And then...
This person can't be too crazy, too crazy will be punished, and besides, he doesn't want to think about why the agent of the rich man who has more money than him didn't continue to make a move when he was in the auction room, and there was even an agent sitting in the middle and back row who looked at him like a dead man.
Oh, the strange-eyed agent was told in advance: "Just push the price up to 75 million and 150 million, and then you will watch the excitement." ”
The consignor is like trying to make a trivial little game, and says that he doesn't have time, otherwise he will go to the auction house to tease the 250 fool.
Push, not buy, everything is expected: the client doesn't plan to buy at all!
The madman wants to take the famous painting to hell, but the inevitable recession of Japan is dragged down by the stock market, which cannot be brought back to life, and swept like a frenzy.
Ryohei Saito's paper group also suffered a serious economic crisis, and some people were idle and had nothing to do to let his subordinates take care of it, not only the two famous paintings were forced to mortgage the bank, but the other works of art in the collection were basically put into the bank's vault.
Then, the bank is finished, and the due collateral naturally becomes the bank's creditor's thing.
The auction of the auction, the disappearance of the disappearance, everything depends on the happiness of the big creditor.
The purchase price was more than 200 million, and the mortgage could not be so much, when the debt-ridden and ruined Saito Ryohei jumped from the window of the office building, Zhang Nan got the art he needed.
Two months later, a small project team in the financial branch of Sunshine Star in Japan found that the entire targeted financial operation process project team had lost more than 6,000 US dollars, which seemed to be a heavy loss.
In fact, not to mention the small amount of "small bits and pieces" taken by the general boss, the purchase price of Renoir's painting with Van Gogh alone is 230 million US dollars.
In fact, I didn't lose anything, but I made a lot of money!
Zhang Nan knew that people wanted to sell paintings, but he was not interested in stupidly letting people go to the auction house and fight with others: the two paintings sold for more than 200 million, are you robbing money, or are you going to launder money?
Something is wrong with the brain!
Now it's good, the company personnel stationed on the little devil's side were relatively idle at that time, and they found something to do.
In a few months, the price of the two famous paintings became less than 1/3, and there were some extra small loot, which was very good.
Originally, the Showa Paper Co., Ltd. could also be turned into its own industry, but Zhang Nan hated everything with the word "Showa" on it, and he couldn't look down on it.
His investment group in Japan was even less interested in the paper industry, so he sold the shares of the paper group that he had obtained from the dead ghost Ryohei Saito.
