Chapter 1057: Can't stay at home
(Thanks to my friend Midnight Shepherdesss for the gift)
Liu Yunxuan is happy on the Wagner farm, but in the rich circle of white truffle lovers, it is not so peaceful.
They have the impression that if you want to eat good truffles, you have to go to the Alba Truffle Festival in Piedmont, Italy.
Because it is the main production area of white truffles, eating truffles is also a fresh, and many gourmets are looking forward to this day every year.
But this year, I just finished attending there, and I was satisfied, but I received an invitation letter from Sotheby's International, and they were going to hold a white truffle sale, and these white truffles were actually produced in an American ranch.
Joke? No! Sotheby's can't make fun of this, or their company won't be able to expect it to go on. And with the pictures of those big truffles attached to the invitation, these people are also full of saliva.
The truffles here are good, they are so big and so much, they shouldn't be as hard to grab as they were in the past auctions. You have money, more than you have money, and you can spell out real fire for a bite to eat.
It's just that everyone is still a little skeptical about the taste of the white truffles on this auction, and they have never heard of white truffles being produced in the United States.
With this suspicion, the phone at Sotheby's kept ringing. You have to follow it to verify, otherwise this taste is average, no matter how big you are, it won't be interesting to buy it.
It is precisely because of this that the news of the black truffle production in Liu Yunxuan's ranch has also been dug up again, and many people have tasted those black truffles in person.
The main reason is that Liu Yunxuan has not publicized his black truffles in the past two years, and this time the white truffles are even more muffled picking.
Although the first black truffle picking was also noisy in the media for a while, it was the media in the United States that reported more.
So basically, it didn't make much of a splash. And it fell silent. And when you arrive at the restaurant, you eat the signature dishes, and you rarely notice where the ingredients come from.
Now that the source has finally been found, some people who know Liu Yunxuan have directly called Jack's side and secretly made white truffles for him. also secretly filmed, and expressed their condemnation one after another.
"Brother Xuanzi, it seems that Sotheby's publicity here is really powerful, and the domestic side has called me." Li Xinyu said after hanging up the phone.
"Now a lot of rich people in our country are also selling at major auction houses, and the Van Gogh painting that Kroenke said yesterday was not bought by our domestic people." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.
Sotheby's is strengthening its business in Asia precisely because of the rise of China's wealthy in recent years. It can be said that in the gathering places of various luxury goods, you can see the figure of the Chinese rich.
Airplanes, yachts, luxury cars, art. These are luxury goods of very high value, as for bags, shoes or something, they are even more swept by Huaxia.
In fact, not only the rich, but also the magical aunts, these are all very powerful potential buyers. Otherwise, Briggs would not have been squatting in China for so long in order to develop Sotheby's international real estate business.
"By the way, Andy, there are two oil contractors in these two days. Interested in letting us buy back the contracts we hold. That's when Charlie spoke.
Originally, he wanted to delay it a little longer, and wait for the two to give a clear opinion. But now it's just small talk anyway. On the side of the Wagner farm, he said it.
"According to our original plan, we will buy it back at the right price, and if we want to kill us, let them hold it first." Anyway, now that the price of oil is getting lower and lower, there is basically no chance of raising its head. Liu Yunxuan nodded and said indifferently.
Anyway, now he's figured it out. After the current ranch is replanned, it is enough to toss it by itself. You don't have to do it all at once, it's a waste of money.
Now the two big countries are pinching each other, the price of this oil is being crushed to the death, and their main income is not counting on this. Even if it's worthless, it won't have much impact on you.
Anyway, it's a kind of pressure on those contractors, and if the price of oil is cheap, you will make less money, which is a loss of money.
Because the storage cost of oil is too high, they are all oil companies, not countries, and they need strategic reserves with a certain inventory of oil.
"Andy, now you are a landowner who owns a lot of land here in the United States, and if I have time in the future, I will introduce you to the people who are here, and you can't always stay in your ranch." Kroenke said with a smile.
"Just like this purchase of the Wagner farm, if a few of them really get along, I'm afraid you'll have to spend a little more."
gives Kroenke the feeling that Liu Yunxuan is more "homely" in the current popular words, and he is basically hanging around on his own territory.
This is not good, everyone likes to stake land, you always stay at home, if it is really because of a certain piece of land, it is the seller who is cheap.
Usually, we have to communicate with each other, and let go of what we can, unless there is really a ranch that everyone is tempted by, and everyone will compete for it according to their abilities.
"Kroenke, the main thing is that you also know that I am usually a weak person, and I often encounter various things after coming to the United States, and I almost threw my life here the year before last." Liu Yunxuan said with a wry smile.
"Next year, when my two children are born, Michelle and I will have more time. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I took temporary leave from her to participate in the auction this time. ”
When she came out, she promised Michelle that she would go back immediately, who would have thought that she would have to go around New York for a while, and the time was extended, so she naturally had to ask the leader for instructions.
And he also understood Kroenke's words. Those people are old big landowners, who have been entrenched in the free land of the United States for many years, and they are now children compared to others.
If you really have a bad relationship with someone because of a certain ranch, although you are not afraid of them, there will always be trouble in the future.
People don't have to do anything out of their minds, as long as they want to buy a ranch or farm, they can participate casually, raise the price online, and their money will have to be spent like water.
He belongs to Xinding in the enclosure, and it is also necessary to build a good relationship with these old-timers. They all play ranch, there is competition and there will be alliances, no matter where they are, they are all based on interests.
"Did your club follow the event in the past?" Kroenke asked again.
He really thinks about Liu Yunxuan, and he likes this young man from China who has the same interests and hobbies as himself.
Every time I chat, I feel very speculative, otherwise I wouldn't have supported Liu Yunxuan like that, and even insisted that the product would not be taken off the shelves despite opposition.
The state of the two is now a bit like Liu Yunxuan and Professor Lille, who belong to the New Year's Friendship.
"I don't care about that for the time being, they have helped me a lot, and when my yacht is delivered, I will visit them one by one if I have the opportunity." Liu Yunxuan shook his head and said.
This society is composed of large and small circles, everyone belongs to a different circle of friends, and it is so many circles that will continue to expand their own contacts.
Compared with the current Liu Yunxuan, the "private territorial waters" club is his top circle. The people there are not just rich, many of them are at the pinnacle of power.
You can't wait for someone to come and get to know you, because you can help yourself enough in the last wildlife poaching incident.
I can ignore business matters, but I have to maintain my dealings with these rich people in the outside world, although some of them will be handled by Charlie, but some of them have to go over in person.
After all, you are the real big boss of the company, and if you have anything to do, let the people below help you contact, and people will think that you are too arrogant.
"Speaking of your yacht, there are a lot of people who are expecting her to go into the water. Nowadays, there are a lot of superyachts launched every year, but there are not many to look forward to, and I will have to go up and play at that time. Kroenke nodded and said with a smile.
In their eyes, those ordinary superyachts are no longer visible, only those that are expensive and have many strange things on them can enter their eyes.
The same superyacht, some of which cost tens of millions of dollars, value superyachts not only with sufficient length, but also with enough luxury.
"Hehe, I'm also looking forward to it, and I've added so much money one after another, although it's a little painful, but I'm also quite satisfied." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.
Now for those cars, Liu Yunxuan doesn't look forward to it much. Because I have played a lot, all kinds of models and brands have driven on their own race cars.
Even the ones that are pre-ordered now, and those that are about to be released, are at most used to replenish their inventory and go for a run when they have free time.
This superyacht is different, it is its own palace on the sea. When the time comes, take your wife and children, wander on the sea, and rest in a fun place, which is more emotional.
I am still young now, and I may still be interested in running around the world, and when I am old, I guess I will live on my own turf, and I will be satisfied with watching the happy life of my children.
Anyway, there's nothing to do here, just chat with everyone from all over the world. As for tomorrow's auction, everyone is not too worried, and there are so many calls answered today, it must be no worse. (To be continued......)
PS: It's September, and you have to work harder to forget your book. I just found out yesterday that most of the broadcasts thanking my friends for rewarding them with monthly passes have not been sent out, so I'm so depressed. Don't be surprised, I hope you can continue to support the forgotten books and the works of the forgotten books. Bless you all, a smooth September!!
