"A work of art?
Are you talking about paintings, sculptures, or antiques?
”Yang Jing's interest was immediately aroused by Bloomberg's words."
Both, of course, there's something even more magical."
Bloomberg said with a smile.He was happy now, and the topic he had brought up had clearly caught the attention of the person in front of him.Yang Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Michael, are you talking about the auction?"
”"Well, it's an auction.However, unlike auctions held by Sotheby or Christie's, where anyone can participate, this auction is strictly limited to insiders. ”"Insider?"
Yang Jing's brows furrowed."
That's right, it's the kind of person who has the relevant financial ability to be recognized as an insider by the auctioneer.In layman's terms, people who participate in this auction must have a personal net worth of more than $100 million. ”This number and restrictions surprised Yang Jing a little.Although many auctions have a limit on the net worth of participants, Yang Jing has heard of this limit that the net worth must be higher than 100 million US dollars.This kind of limited specification is too high.A net worth of 100 million US dollars, even in the United States in the 80s, there was not much, before the Internet age came, these billionaires in the United States often had a very backward heritage, and their connections and heritage were far from being comparable to those 10,000 billionaires in the early Internet era.In this era, a net worth of 100 million dollars not only means your wealth, but more importantly, the connections you have."
Who did this auction?"
Yang Jing is also a little curious, in this era, it is definitely not easy for the organizer to hold such an auction."
Does the Mellon family know?
To be exact, Mr.
Richard Mellon Scaife of Pittsburgh is going to hold a reception this Saturday night at a manor belonging to the Mellon family on Long Island, New York, to commemorate the 130th anniversary of the birth of Mr.
Scaife's grandfather, Mr.
Richard Beatitsmelon, and the auction of some rare antiques and works of art will be arranged during the reception. ”"The Mellon family?
The Mellon family, one of the eight major families in the United States, who claimed to be the most mysterious in the United States, single-handedly created Gulf Oil, Mellon National Bank, and controlled Alcoa, Pittsburgh Steel, Amcosteel, Lockheed, Rockwell, and Westinghouse Electric, and made Americans jokingly call "three American presidents worked for Mellon"?
”"That's right, it's the Mellon family, the Mellon family, who are richer than the Rockefellers."
Bloomberg said with certainty, and there was a look of envy in his eyes."
This Mr.
Richard Mellon Scaife is the grandson of Mr.
Richard Beatitmellon and is a right-wing conservative.""
I've heard of this Mr.
Scaife."
Yang Jing nodded and said.Yang Jing still knows a little about the Mellon family, when he was in college, because he was arguing with his classmates about who is the richest family in the United States, so Yang Jing specially inquired about the Mellon family.This Mr.
Scaife is the grandson of Richard Beatimellon, who, although not as famous as his older brother Andrew Mellon, was a key figure in the rise of the Mellon family.Later, Forbes once announced the fifteen richest people in American history, Bill Gates only ranked thirteenth, and this Richard Beatimellon ranked sixth.Although Scaife, who is almost 70 years old this year, is a relative of the Mellon family, he has always maintained a very close relationship with the Mellon family, and Scaife is also a billionaire who funds the right-wing conservative movement in the United States, known as the king of the right-wing camp in the United States!
In later generations, Zipperton's 'Zipper Door Incident' was exposed by this Skeaf's name with a huge amount of money!
Now Skeef is also one of the core members of the Mellon family.If this gentleman is holding a drinking party, then restrictions on the number of participants are unavoidable.Although after World War II, the influence of the eight major families in the United States gradually declined, it is undeniable that no matter which of these eight families are deeply rooted in the United States, they may seem calm on the surface, but no one can deny that these eight families have unparalleled influence in the entire United States.And the Mellon family, as the top of the eight major families, has an energy hidden under the surface that is absolutely unimaginable to ordinary people.Even if the assets of the Evil Dragon Fund that Yang Jing now controls are as high as more than 200 billion US dollars, it is definitely not comparable to this kind of old family that has been inherited for more than 100 years.For the opportunity to have a good relationship with the core figures in this kind of family, Yang Jing believes that it is still very necessary."
Michael, can you get another invitation?""
Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with this, I still have a personal relationship with Mr.
Scaife, and your KY Investment Fund is currently a major shareholder of Alcoa and Pittsburgh Steel, I think Mr.
Scaife will definitely be willing to talk to you about this as well.""
Thank you then."
Yang Jing said very sincerely.Originally, Yang Jing was going to return to the original time and space after acquiring the shares of the Innovation Market System Company, after all, the stock market crash had passed, and the Evil Dragon Fund had reaped a huge amount of profits, and used these profits to start investing in major companies, the prototype of the future has been established, and the main task of coming to this time and space has also been successfully concluded, so there is no need for Yang Jing to stay in this time and space.Unexpectedly, this sudden drinking party disrupted Yang Jing's itinerary.However, Yang Jing is still very happy to be able to meet a character like Richard Mellon Skefe.After all, this is the core figure of the Mellon family, even if it is the later generation of Bloomberg, it is far from being comparable to a Mellon family.Being able to have a good relationship with such a family is definitely good and good for the Evil Dragon Fund.The energy of this big family is what the Evil Dragon Fund needs.On Saturday afternoon, Mr.
Yang and Mr.
Bloomberg rode together to Riverhead, on the east side of Long Island.Riverhead is located at the beginning of the South and North Forks at the eastern end of Long Island, and these two famous forks at the eastern end of Long Island began in Riverhead.The Cornic River crosses through the middle of Riverhead, empties into the Bay of Flanders to the east of the city, and eventually joins the Atlantic Ocean.The estate where Mr.
Scaife hosted the reception was located on Hampton Hills, less than four kilometers southwest of Riverhead.It is a historic estate that is said to have been built by Andrew Mellon, the brother of Mr.
Scaife's grandfather, who served as Treasury Secretary for Presidents Harding, Coolidge and Hoover.The manor covers a large area, the main building is a four-storey building, 60 meters long, more than 30 meters wide ancient building, this is Andrew Mellon built a manor in 1898, has a history of nearly 90 years.The estate is tucked away in lush greenery, with only one road running from Route 51.In the wooded clearing, there are many vines, and to the south of the estate, there is a full-fledged eighteen-hole golf course, as well as a tennis court and an outdoor swimming pool."
The ancillary facilities and the vineyards belong to the estate, which covers a total of 2,300 acres, which means that more than 9 square kilometers of land around it belongs to the estate."
This number made Yang Jing secretly smack.Long Island, New York is a world-famous place to live, and housing prices here are not ordinarily expensive.And this estate has as much as nine square kilometers of land here, and the value of this land alone is already very impressive now."
It is said that Mr.
Andrew Mellon's nephew, Mr.
Scaife's uncle, Mr.
Richard Kimmerlon, who has the nickname 'General', has been living here all the time, and Mr.
Richard Kimeron will also be present at this commemorative reception, after all, it is a commemorative reception to commemorate the 130th anniversary of his father's birth.""
Is this Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Richard Kim Mellon the same Mr.
Mellon, who is passionate about the army and rock?"
Yang Jing asked."
That's right, it's Mr.
Mellon."
Bloomberg laughed too.If you want to talk about the Mellon family, you have to mention this Richard Kim Mellon and his cousin, that is, Paul Mellon, the son of Andrew Mellon.The fathers of these two are the founders of the Mellon family, and the two brothers have made the Mellon family prosperous.But when Andrew and Richard passed away, their sons Paul Mellon and Richard Kim Mellon were not so good.Paul Mellon, in particular, is more interested in spending money than making money.This Yale graduate is fond of academics and the arts, and is keen to run various foundations, preferring to manage the "National Gallery" donated by Mellon Sr. to the government than to go into business.Although Richard Kim Mellon followed his father's wishes and ran the family business, the son-in-law, nicknamed "The General", was more interested in the army and rock, especially the "Rolling Stones" band was far more interested than the family business, but anyway, Paul and Richard are the current highest-generation generation of the Mellon family, and they are also the current banner figures of the Mellon family.Of course, if these two can be as powerful as their fathers, the current Mellon family will definitely occupy a more important position in the United States.Yang Jing and Bloomberg were talking and laughing about the Mellon family, and after the car was parked in the parking lot, they got out of the car and walked towards the old building together.
