Chapter 7 The domineering president said, this night stone is mine
There are many searches in dreams, but it is difficult to find incense, and I leave flowers and wait day after day. In the early morning of October, the cold fog is still coldly dancing with the water sleeves, the autumn wind, and the shadow of the carcass.
The jade pendant auction incident has made San Francisco hot in winter.
The reserve price of the Luminous auction is 308,000 US dollars, and the market valuation is 1.68 million US dollars.
People are just curious.
But curiosity, it killed the cat.
Some media have made a big article, saying that this Pisces pendant is a thing that Guangxu gave to Concubine Zhen, and this pendant is related to Concubine Zhen's death, tsk, this imagination really can't be underestimated, is it amateur to write novels?
There are also reporters who bite the word national treasure and do not let go. The doubter, Jiang Dagongzi, is holding a national treasure in the auction.
For a while, the waves were sparkling, and the night light became a hot topic in the Chinese social circle.
The enthusiasm of the public is really coming and going. Some time ago, the Chinese circle was most concerned about the person who won the lotto jackpot of 439 million, but chose the trust company to receive the prize anonymously.
Someone jumped out and swore that it was a Chinese who won the jackpot, but in a blink of an eye, the media's attention was attracted by the national treasure auction incident.
"This jade pendant is my grandmother's family heirloom, and it is indeed the one I entrusted to Butterfield Company to auction it publicly." Jiang Wenhao said: "Yeming is not priceless, and I dare not claim it a national treasure. ”
"May I ask if this jade pendant is really an old thing of Emperor Guangxu?" A reporter asked.
"It must indeed be the old thing of Emperor Guangxu." Jiang Wenhao replied indifferently.
"Then how did your ancestors or Emperor Guangxu put jade pendants?"
"Grandmother said it was the emperor's reward."
"Then why do you want to auction off the family heirloom ancient jade? And to be auctioned in the United States? The implication of this question is that if you are not short of money and eyes, don't you have ulterior motives?
"I chose to auction in the United States because I wanted to face Chinese people all over the world. As for why the ancient jade is being auctioned," Jiang Wenhao smiled slyly and said a plausible word: "Actually, I was waiting for a person to appear." ”
"Who?"
"Could it be you, of course you are the one who wants to take pictures of this jade pendant."
Jiang Wenhao's statement made many good people die down, but naturally there are still some people who do not give up, and continue to speculate with great interest, and even some radical guys privately said: "These Hong Kong tycoons are traitors, and they have sold all of China's good things abroad." ”
It seems that there is really no shortage of radical patriots, smashing Lingzhi in their spare time, resisting and boycotting the Korean Wave, and scolding the rich, all of which are quite good. But is this really patriotic?
Anyway, our Jiang Dagongzi, who is good at business and doesn't forget to enjoy beautiful women, red wine and sports cars, has absolutely no extra time to waste on these boring people.
James, the assistant, grumbled on his behalf.
"Why do people still call you a traitor, I don't know what they think. Think about how much effort we made last time for the return of the national treasure of the Forbidden City, this recently Uncle De is still busy with the "Book of Chu Silk", hoping to promote the return of Chinese cultural relics more than 2,000 years ago to China. It seems that I should really arrange for a reporter to write about this. ”
"You'd better save me some effort." Wen Hao smiled and said.
"Actually, I know you don't really plan to auction Yeming, you're just trying to hype up a piece of news to find the person you're looking for."
"Hehe, there is no one who knows me more than you."
"I just can't see you doing so many good things, and being grabbed by their pigtails all day long."
"Braids? You use that word. Hehe. Wen Hao smiled and said, "You won't like everyone, how can you make everyone like you?" If a person's purpose is to find Points to attack you, then it doesn't matter how you choose, or how you do it, how you say it, the result is the same. One statement is enough, but what about the rest? ”
One statement is enough, but what else is there to say? It's really Jiang Wenhao, it's not a little bit domineering.
What is the Book of Chu Silk?
In the underground storage room near Washington Square, there is a small piece of ancient silk. It was written 2,300 years ago and resembles the Chinese version of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The words on it are densely toothed, like the stars swirling in the firmament, depicting the relationship between heaven and earth.
For decades, this ancient document, known as the Book of Chu Silk, has fascinated all those who want to understand the origins of Chinese civilization. But because it is too fragile and fragile, it has not been seen by the public.
Its current owner is Arthur M. The Arthur M. Sackler Foundation, in fact, Wen Hao has already made a lot of efforts in the middle to bring this ancient manuscript back to its homeland, China.
Inheriting his mother's star-like temperament and his father's bold personality of Jiang Sheng, and having a degree from Stanford, a prestigious American school, Wen Hao was once jokingly called the diamond man that Chinese women most want to marry by Hong Kong media.
This is, of course, a superficial compliment.
In private, for this son who claims to appreciate the most is a beautiful woman and a beautiful wine, people who know him are willing to call him a Jiang family leader, but those who don't know him are not so polite, what is the second ancestor of the loser, the fifth brother of the flower and diamond king, it is still good.
Although he didn't spend much time in Hong Kong, this never affected him from often appearing on the covers of various entertainment gossip magazines, who made you handsome, rich, and showed off your eloquence with your heart, and your girlfriend changed to a dozen, plus two and a half baskets, such a topical character, who do you write about entertainment if you don't write it?
Everyone is willing to watch the lace news to talk about how the Jiang family spends a lot of money, what kind of yacht to buy, what kind of star to make, how fun is it?
To put it bluntly, the business is a gossip gimmick that looks good?
If you tell you that he has been living in San Francisco since graduating from Stanford, not only doing what he does best in financing, real estate, but even dabbling in the IT industry in Silicon Valley, investing in wineries, and developing the Asian luxury online market, you are afraid that you will be bored and yawn.
Whether Jiang Wenhao is a playboy or not, who will really prove it? The image of a playboy is in line with the personality.
Three generations of wealthy families, what are you fighting for? You.
Our favorite thing is, of course, gossiping about his family. For example, what is the contradiction between him and the real power figure who is now in the Jiang family, his aunt Jiang Sima Linglong?
The woman.........
When it comes to Jiang Sima Linglong, the wife of Jiang Tianze, chairman of the Jiang Group, many people will be excited like a burst of chicken blood, and the spit core will spray all over their faces.
This woman is legendary, isn't she?
and the former Jiang family, Jiang Wenhao's father got engaged and then divorced, and 10 years later, he actually married the second young man of the Jiang family, Jiang Wenhao's uncle, Jiang Tianze. The reason for this is that there are all kinds of things.
Of course, with the prestige of the Chiang family in Hong Kong, that is nonsense that no one wants to talk openly. But it does not prevent this woman from becoming the favorite conversation of Hong Kong people and even Chinese people after dinner, tsk, for many years, it has always been so.
"Although that woman is in a high position, and her husband listens to her for everything, why can't she even give birth to a son? What is the name of the daughter who follows her all day Jiang Xinyi, it is said that she is still the old family who died in the plane crash. ”
"It's not, I tried my best to marry into a wealthy family, my belly is not angry, a hen that doesn't lay eggs, what's the use of making so much money, it's not like raising a daughter for someone else."
"Who knows, it may be that Jiang Sheng can't do it, hehe, otherwise I wouldn't have divorced this wife who can't give birth earlier, even if I don't divorce, I have to raise a little wife and get an illegitimate child or something, right?"
"Cut, who knows, maybe there will be a long time ago, but we don't know, who knows the affairs of this wealthy family?"
"That's it, but this Jiang family is too thin, just such a Jiang Wenhao, who is still hiding in the United States and not coming back, I don't know what he thinks, the uncle and aunt here are about to dominate his family property."
"I heard that the contradiction between the two people is very deep."
"Well, that's what I've heard, hey, you say, if an illegitimate child pops out that day, wouldn't it be a good show?"
"Haha......"
These, okay, Jiang Wenhao is lazy, he was born in a wealthy family, grew up in a wealthy family, and didn't learn anything else, so he has developed this detached temper, his mouth grows on people, he loves gossip, whatever he wants.
"If it's because of me," he teased to his assistant James with a bit of dark humor, "those who have nothing to do all day long, a little talk, and I'm afraid that the unexpectedly paparazzi also have more work, which is also one of my contributions to this society." ”
Speaking of Jiang Wenhao, you really can't tell if he is really high-profile or fake, what he is doing seriously, he never wants people to know. But this day and night, lace news is flying all over the sky, and he can't move on the cover or something, he seems to be enjoying it.
How many people in San Francisco really know him?
The real estate company Western, which first came back to life, then became famous, and successfully led the development of several major real estate projects one after another, was originally acquired by Jiang Wenhao?
And the luxury sales company China Rose, which has cooperated with many well-known luxury brands, successfully opened the online sales of luxury goods in Asia, and is rumored to have a Chinese government background, how many people know that the boss behind it is actually Jiang Wenhao?
The scenery is beautiful, and he would rather let the company's president, Uncle De, act as a full-fledged agent, not to be misled by this name, Uncle De is actually a Briton born in Hong Kong with French and Portuguese ancestry.
Uncle De's full name is Barton Alden, he likes everyone to call him Uncle De, not that his surname is very close to the pronunciation of De, that is because he really gave himself a Chinese name called Ma Deao, and his childhood growth experience in Hong Kong allowed this foreign devil to speak fluent Chinese.
Uncle De is a heavyweight figure that Jiang Wenhao worked hard to poach from a listed company in Hong Kong in the early years, so how did he dig it up? It is said that it is the friendship of a glass of red wine.
I'm afraid only the two of them know the details.
In fact, people who don't know from the outside world think that Uncle De is the boss of these companies, or this is the effect Jiang Wenhao wants, Uncle De and him naturally know each other.
Jiang Wenhao sometimes asks James, a French-Canadian to attend various scenic occasions on his behalf. With one hand in control of Chiang's overseas empire, would he rather leave outsiders with the image of a playboy, or is this his best disguise?
