Chapter 0052: Meet Again
Yang Peiqi wandered around the streets of New York with some boredom. This morning, Sotheby's auction was over, and three of his paintings sold for a surprising price, two by Zhao Mengfu for $10 million and $11 million respectively; As for the picture of Tang Bohu's Spring Palace, it was auctioned for a sky-high price of 35 million US dollars, which completely exceeded the estimate given by Sotheby's auction house at the beginning.
In other words, Yang Peiqi is now a wealthy man with a net worth of more than $50 million.
And that's after deducting Sotheby's' commission.
New York City is home to many world-class galleries and venues for performing arts competitions, making it one of the cultural and entertainment hubs of the Western Hemisphere. Due to the 24-hour subway operation and the never-stop crowds, New York is also known as the "city that never sleeps".
New York is the best city in the world. ballet, classical music, opera, big concerts, jazz music, swing dance; Theatre, cinema, cabaret opera performances, disco, and piano performances are all lively and exciting.
In particular, it is worth pointing out that this qiē is world-class. Also, New York's romantic nightlife is worth looking forward to.
New York has a dizzying array of museums filled with world-class art and history exhibits, and no other city can match it: visitors can spend days on Museum Mile.
On this stretch of Fifth Avenue are the palatial Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the New Gallery, and the Jewish Museum; On the west side of Central Park, you can choose to visit the American Museum of Natural History and the Museum of History and Society in New York; In the heart of the city, visit the Museum of Modern Art, undoubtedly the world's finest collection of modern art; Another place to explore art and history is the Abbey Art Museum, which is located within the urban oasis of Fort Tryon Parker and is part of the Medium Collection.
With nearly 55 million visitors coming to New York each year, there are many ways to experience the city's incredible cultural and diverse diversity: learn about the stories of immigrants who first came here in the protected building of the Iris Island Immigration Museum; Chinatown is the largest Chinese community in the United States and one of the city's oldest, authentic vendors; In the evenings, busy Little Italy tempts people to savor real delicacies; The heart of the district, charming Mulberry Street, is lined with restaurants and cafés; Queens is one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in the United States.
New York is the city with the most skyscrapers in the world, and there are certainly many attractions in the building itself. For a glimpse of the spectacle of modern civilization, you can't miss the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and Kefeller Center. For an in-depth look at New York, check out the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Broadway; You wouldn't have been to New York without the famous Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty.
With money, and this is Yang Peiqi's first time in the city, how can she not go shopping and take photos?
At the charity dinner last night, he and Sharapova had a very pleasant chat, but when he invited her to visit New York with him, he turned her down very simply and resolutely.
However, there was no anger or impatience on her face, no matter when, her attitude was impeccable, even if she refused Yang Peiqi's invitation, she spoke very well.
At that time, she had a smile on her face, and she lightly opened her lips and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I have an appointment tomorrow." ”
As for whether she has an appointment tomorrow, Yang Peiqi feels that it doesn't matter at all, because this is clearly a refusal. But her smile and amber eyes made Yang Peiqi very comfortable. So despite the rejection, he didn't have any chagrin.
But now that he thinks about it, he feels pity. Wandering the streets by yourself...... What's the point? No matter how beautiful the scenery is, no matter how beautiful the building is, it is all dead. Only man is alive and beautiful. So Yang Peiqi had no choice but to admire the beauties coming and going on the street, just like when he was working in Mianzhou, he ran to the nearby Chunxi Road in Tianfu City to visit the beauties as soon as he encountered a holiday......
Tianfu produces beautiful women, as the most prosperous city in the world, New York also produces beautiful women, this is a country full of beautiful women, and you can see sexy and fashionable women everywhere on the streets. Especially in Manhattan at this time, professional women are not only beautiful, but also have a good figure and a better temperament.
Yang Peiqi found that he had some signs of uniformity, and he really had no resistance to all kinds of uniforms, especially the tall beauties in white-collar suits.
In order to peep at the beauties openly, Yang Peiqi also went to buy a Sony SLR camera to pretend to be forced. Although Yang Peiqi is extremely reluctant to see Little Japan, it has to be said that the Japanese are far superior to their peers in terms of cameras and some other electronic products.
The camera and lens of this Sony SLR camera are high-end goods, but this thing is really a bit brutal in his hand, because he doesn't know photography at all, and no matter how good the camera is, he just uses it as a point-and-shoot camera - turn the camera to automatic, then aim at the beauty, pretend to compose the picture, and then press the shutter.
Click!
Judging from the posture alone, he looks quite like a street photographer.
Many beauties saw him like this, and they also cooperated in various poses to let him take pictures. If these people knew that Yang Peiqi was looking at beauties in the name of taking pictures, I really don't know what they would think.
Yang Peiqi was patting east and west with a camera on the streets of New York, looking very professional, and the quality of the photos taken was miserable......
He didn't care, though.
The drunkard didn't mean to drink in the first place.
……
In order to photograph the frontal image of a beautiful woman who looks beautiful from the side and seductive from the back, Yang Peiqi tracked all the way to a secluded alley. The beautiful woman in front of her turned a corner, and by the time he passed, she was gone. Maybe I'm walking through one of the ubiquitous doors in this alley.
When he reacted, he realized that this alley was really very secluded. Since it is not a tourist attraction, there are no tourists at all. Secondly, the buildings around this place are dull and ordinary, very patterned, except for the cold stone walls, which are exactly the same iron-framed windows and closed doors, and there are no flowery signboards or bright flowers on the balconies. So there are very few pedestrians here.
If it weren't for tracking that beauty, Yang Peiqi would never have walked into such a featureless alley with no beauties.
Of course, such a place can't attract Yang Peiqi to stop, so he turned around and planned to return the same way, and he was still a little worried that he could only photograph the back of a beautiful woman.
At this time, he suddenly heard a quarrel, and the sound came from the intersection in front of him. It seems to be a woman arguing with a man.
Yang Peiqi is not a nosy person, and he is not interested in watching when others quarrel. But the woman's voice made Yang Peiqi stop. Because of hearing this voice, Yang Peiqi's mind appeared in a Louis Vuitton purple dress, with blonde hair coiled behind her head, obviously smiling and looking good, but she looked depressed and unhappy, which made people feel pity when they saw her, and they couldn't wait to immediately take her into their arms and comfort her.
What a coincidence!
