After the two sides initially expressed their mutual approval, Mrs. Mellon left first.

Hall looked at Onassis's overweight back and asked, thoughtfully, "Is Lady Onassis on very good terms with Mrs. Mellon?" ”

"Well, it's a complicated story. To put it simply, Mr. Ship King is married to Jacqueline, the widow of the assassinated president, and Jacqueline and Mrs. Mellon are friends. Ariana replied awkwardly.

The first lady was prying away by Greek businessmen, and the American people hurt their self-esteem.

Hall was speechless, and could only sigh with emotion: "...... The relationship between the big guys is really complicated. ”

"The relationship between the big guys is really complicated."

In the corner of the banquet hall, a young man with a Texan accent said, "Larry, since Ms. Onassis has such a relationship, we can ask her to help introduce Mrs. Mellon, who is a super rich financier." ”

"Come on, Lynch, don't have unrealistic expectations." A companion named Larry replied.

Texas Cowboy Lynch frowned: "We made a lot of money for her, she should pay us!" ”

"We've been paid. After this speculation, the "Water Lily Picture" owned by our Soviet customer could be mortgaged by at least $1.5 million more than the bank. According to what was said in advance, we have at least 300,000 dollars in commissions, don't be greedy. Larry exhorted, lowering his voice.

Lynch was very upset: "Fack, we are reviled by the public as copper-smelling merchants who tarnish art, and we are hated by the rich buyers of neon...... We gave the most in this deal, but we only got the smallest share!

What do these shit bigwigs think of us......"

"Toilet paper, toilet paper for wiping the butt of their pet dog, is this answer satisfactory?" Larry interrupted with a cold face, "Lynch, your ancestors are from Ireland, or can you trace it back to the 'Mayflower' sailboat?" ”

Lynch's expression was dazed: "Ah? If my ancestors were on that boat, would I use the kind of toilet paper used to make the big guys, or the kind to wipe the of the pet dogs? ”

"The Mellon family is, they moved to the United States from Ireland. You only see Mrs. Mellon talking and laughing with the young man, but you don't know that he is from England. Larry replied.

Lynch pouted, "I know that young man is an Englishman, we met in the bathroom." Larry, please finish the whole story in one go, you know, I hate using my brain. ”

"He is an English nobleman, a nobleman who can bid for 5.5 million dollars, which is the premise of his dialogue with Mrs. Mellon. Then the Mellon family is from Ireland, and their common cultural identity makes them laugh and talk. ”

Larry shook his head at his partner and continued, "And you, who are not aristocratic and rich, have no sense of identity with Mrs. Mellon. So, even if Ms. Onassis helps match, you're not qualified to be toilet paper for Mrs. Mellon. ”

"England, England again, I really don't know why there are so many guys in our country who are willing to kneel and lick the nobility of England. Is it just because they helped us build our nation? Mrs. Mellon, herself is a pure American, and Ireland is not England. ”

As a Texas cowboy with strong roots, Lynch feels like his country is being eroded by spiritual Britons, 19th-century best-selling goods, and the white left.

Now the original dogs are clamoring to buy the whole of America, and America is dying!

Larry drank his glass: "Don't say such stupid things, in fact, not only in the United States, but also in civilized regions of the world, there is no shortage of people who kneel and lick the nobles of England."

After all, not every country in modern society has queens and dukes...... The last time I met a university professor in England, he told me very seriously that he was a squire, not a commoner...... Oh, it's fucking up when you think about it......"

He beckoned to the waiter, and re-raised his glass of wine: "Let's go, let's go get acquainted with the English nobleman." ”

Lynch, who was worried about the fortunes of the country, casually asked, "Why do you want to befriend him?" ”

"He seems to like art, let's see if there's a chance to be his toilet paper."

"Didn't you say that we don't deserve to be toilet paper for such a big man?"

"But he's young, just a descendant of big shots." Larry Gagosian replied.

He has seen the rich second generation and the rich generation spend money to buy paintings for the competition of pickling girls, and the rich second generation has more wealth in the family but loses, because the rich second generation cannot control all the wealth they have.

In the same way as the nobility, there is still a difference between the descendants of the nobility and the nobility themselves.

"Thank you so much for your help tonight, go get busy, I know there are a lot of your peers competing for customers here." Hall said to Ariana with a smile.

The latter clinked his glass with him: "Thank you for your understanding, to be honest, the competitive pressure in the financial industry is too great." ”

"Actually, you can ask your husband to come to this kind of occasion to help socialize." Hall joked.

Ariana smiled helplessly: "My husband is a lawyer, a litigator, and he is more stressed than me. ”

"Respectable profession, I'm sorry I couldn't see him today, say hello to him on my behalf." Hall replied with a sip of sparkling water.

He is not a warrior who has been tested by alcohol now, and he is really a little unbearable after a whole banquet.

Ariana tirelessly went elsewhere to continue socializing, and Hall was a little tired and planned to go back to the hotel to rest.

Just as he was about to flash someone, Larry Gagosian stepped up to the front and greeted, "God willing, there are finally no more than a dozen people around you to socialize, giving us a chance to say hello to you." ”

"Good evening, do you know me?" Hall smiled kindly at the Texas cowboy he ran into in the toilet before the auction began.

Larry laughed and explained, "I just met, my name is Larry Gagosian, you can just call me Larry." He's Lynch, my good friend, and we run a gallery in Manhattan. ”

"yes, that's great, I've heard that there aren't a lot of good galleries in Manhattan, and you add a different kind of sparkle to the city." Hall praised.

Larry replied solemnly: "Yes, the undertone of this city is money, and I want to change the status quo." ”

"Change the world", the classic American language logic, but unfortunately I like the undertone here.

Hall thought to himself and raised his glass: "Great goal, to art, uh, sorry, I can't drink much." ”

"Art is the best wine, isn't it?" Larry mimicked a London accent and took a small sip of his wine.

Hall cooperated with a surprised expression: "Have you lived in London?" ”

Larry smiled warmly: "My mother was an amateur actress, she loved all of Shakespeare's works, and I was deeply influenced by it at an early age, so I applied to English and Chinese literature at university. ”

"Your mother must have been an elegant and learned lady." Hall replied with a glance and a social conversation template.

He didn't have any idea about a painting dealer, or he had to be proactive enough to befriend him.

If a casual American hillbilly from England can climb the relationship, the decency of the European aristocracy is still missing, although there is not much left of this thing......

The other party did not cooperate, and Larry struggled to expand the topic on his own: "Yes, I love my mother very much. But unlike her love of Shakespeare, I admire Christopher Marlowe more. ”

"Hehe, Marlowe and Shakespeare aren't very friendly." Hall recalls what he learned in art class and politely accostes.

Larry pretended to be distressed: "Yes, my mother and I often argue until we break up for this......"

This is a meme, Marlowe and Shakespeare are contemporaries of playwrights, the former is a representative of the "university genius".

When it comes to personal achievements, Shakespeare may be higher than the former, but the former has a higher influence on literature and English drama than the latter.

Moreover, Marlowe's untimely death, coupled with Shakespeare's purchase of the manuscripts of his "college geniuses" peers, made the two argue a lot.
