The meeting with the Koch brothers made Yang Jing pass the development plan of the past two years in his heart. It has to be said that this is a good era. As long as you seize the opportunity, gold will be everywhere.

With the conversation with the Koch brothers, more and more people came over.

The man who appeared on this occasion today was so mysterious. He just came out of the cigar house next door with the core figures of the top ten consortiums. After he came out, the Koch brothers, the top richest man in New York, immediately came over again.

Who is this guy?

Americans are actually not a little gossipy. They often make the most direct actions to figure out people or things they don’t understand.

For example, among the people who followed, Yang Jing met Sam Walton, the richest man in the United States in 1985 and the founder of Walmart. Walton is in good health now. Although Yang Jing knew that the old man would die of illness in five years, it did not affect his relationship with the retail emperor now.

After all, even when Sam Walton died, his children took over the old man's banner and pushed Walmart to the whole world. The Walton family is still worth making friends.

In addition, there is Bernard Arnault, the head of the LVMH Group. A Frenchman who is about the same age as Cole Smith, has just taken over the banner of Louis Vuitton for a few years. However, this guy is very powerful. He swallowed Dior like a snake as if he had just taken over Louis Vuitton.

Bernard Arnault was often among the top 20 Forbes rich list after thirty years. His luxury empire swept the world in the next thirty years, especially China after becoming rich, and he was flocking to major brands under Arnault...

This time, it happened that Bernard Arnault was dealing with a business matter in the United States, and he rushed over after receiving the invitation.

In addition, some financial tycoons on Wall Street also came to talk to Yang Jing one after another. It was not until the reception officially began that this kind of greeting came to an end.

The cocktail party was held in a large banquet hall on the first floor of this building. The area of ​​this banquet hall is large, with an area of ​​absolutely more than 600 square meters, which is more than enough to accommodate the seventy or eighty people who came to attend the banquet today.

At this time, applause first sounded in a corner of the hall, and then the applause quickly spread to the entire hall, and everyone began to applause.

Yang Jing was no exception. While applauding, he looked in the direction where the applause first came out, and saw seven or eight people walking out of a door in a corner of the hall.

The one who was leading the way was an energetic old man, followed by the Skeves and his wife, but Skeve was also pushing a wheelchair in his hand, and an older man sat on the wheelchair.

Yang Jing knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the protagonist today will appear.

Sure enough, when the seven or eight people stood still, the old man who led the lead picked up the microphone.

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Mellon Manor in Long Island. Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the commemorative reception of the 130th anniversary of the birth of Mr. Richard Beatty Mellon. I am Paul Mellon. Here I welcome you on behalf of my cousin Richard King Mellon and my family..."

After this self-introduction, Yang Jing realized that the old man who was talking was actually another of the two contemporary banner figures of the Mellon family, Paul, the son of Andrew Mellon.

The old man sitting in a wheelchair was Richard King Mellon's son, Richard Beatty Mellon. These two old men are cousins.

The people behind are naturally the core characters of the Mellon family now.

"One hundred and thirty years ago today, my dear Uncle Richard came to this world. He is one of the most important achievements in the history of our Mellon family. Our family developed rapidly under his leadership..."

Although Paul was not keen on family business, he had to admit that he was very eloquent. After this opening remark, he won warm applause from everyone present.

In the United States, Richard Beatty Mellon is a legend. If his father, Mr. Thomas Mellon, created the foundation of the Mellon family, then he and his brother Andrew Mellon are the key figures in the Mellon family's rise.

The legend has six siblings, but only he and his elder brother Andrew Mellon are the second-generation core leaders of the Mellon family.

In 2012, Forbes recounted the fifteen richest people in American history. In order to more accurately reflect their impact on the US economy, Forbes compared the US GDP at that time to convert everyone's personal assets into the US dollar in 2006.

On this list, Richard Mellon ranked sixth with a net worth of US$82.3 billion, while his brother Andrew Mellon ranked fourteenth with a net worth of US$50.5 billion, which is also the only pair of brothers on this list.

Although such an old man has passed away for a long time, this does not hinder people's admiration for him.

After Paul finished speaking his opening remarks, Richard King Mellon said a few more words tremblingly. He is almost ninety years old this year and is in poor health. It is not easy to be able to persist in appearing at this cocktail party.

After the two of them finished speaking, the party officially began. As Bloomberg said before, there were auctions of some precious items interspersed in the middle of the party.

This kind of auction is naturally a charity auction, and all the proceeds from the auction will be donated to A.W. Mellon Education-Philanthropy Trust, which was created for $58 million during his lifetime.

This kind of charity auction is different from the kind in Hollywood or other places. It is a truly high-end charity auction. After all, people who can come to such occasions have their personal wealth of at least $100 million.

In such a charity auction, the items taken out by these rich people naturally cannot be something worth tens of thousands or tens of thousands of yuan. The items they take out must be items worth at least one hundred thousand dollars.

For example, the auction item Bloomberg brought today was an emerald + diamond necklace. When Bloomberg took out the necklace, he was still in the car here.

The necklace looks a bit outdated, and the necklace itself is worth up to 200,000 to 300,000 US dollars. If Bloomberg did not mention the origin of the necklace, Yang Jing would really look down on this necklace.

"This is a necklace that Marilyn Monroe wore when she went on stage to receive the award for the 17th Golden Globe Awards for the movie "Feeling Like Fire" for the 17th Golden Globe Awards. I bought it for $800,000 at an auction three years ago..." Looking at the necklace, Bloomberg's eyes were full of reluctance.

These words made Yang Jinglei very soft. Looking at Bloomberg's silver expression, it was obvious that this was also a sexy young man who was fascinated by Monroe's style back then.

Based on Bloomberg's age, when Monroe swept the United States and the whole world, Bloomberg was just a young and young man in his teens. How could he not be fascinated by that charming woman?

I just don’t know if this guy’s wife Margaret knew that he actually collected a necklace that Monroe had worn close to her back then, would she give this guy a Hedong Lion Roar...

Well, the necklace this guy took out is indeed quite valuable. Although the necklace itself is not valuable, once it is hooked up with Monroe, it is estimated that all the men under the age of 60 present will be tempted today.

Yang Jing complained about this old slutty young man in his heart, but this whine was also very interested in the auction items Yang Jing took out. He also wanted to see what Yang Jing was going to auction today.

To be honest, this is the first time that Yang Jing has attended such a top-notch cocktail party. He had never known that the people attending the cocktail party would need to bring an auction item that was of high quality, so he had no preparation at all.

However, some of his storage space are good things, and it can be worth millions of dollars at least if you take out one.

"Get a painting of Monet?" Yang Jing shook his head and rejected this idea. Monet's works are quite popular in the United States. Even in the 1980s, a painting of Monet was worth tens of millions of dollars. It is obviously inappropriate to take out such a painting on such occasions.

Among the treasures of the last Tsar obtained in Siberia, some oil paintings that had done cultural heritage protection were put back into the storage space by Yang Jing, so now he does not lack paintings from famous artists.

"Why would you take a golden scepter?" Yang Jing immediately rejected this idea. There were two golden scepters found in Gaddafi's treasure in the space. The thing was made of gold and there was no need to be maintained at all. If you wipe it casually, you will immediately become golden.

However, the value of this golden scepter is quite high. After all, it is an ancient Egyptian thing and a real antique artifact. If you really want to calculate the value, it is really difficult to calculate. If you encounter a rich man who likes ancient Egyptian culture, it is not uncommon for people to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy it.

Yang Jing thought of the Escudo gold coins in the pirate treasures obtained in Alette. Although the value of such a gold coin can be sold for 400,000 to 500,000 US dollars in later generations, it is hard to say now. After all, the gold coin collection is not very popular now and is a niche collection. If no one allows such gold coins, it will be depressing.

Yang Jing also wanted to find a set of jewelry from the treasures of the last tsar, but Bloomberg had already taken out a necklace. If he took another set of jewelry himself, it would seem like a legendary crash.

The most important thing is that the jewelry that was once worn by Russian queens and even queens may be worth much more than the necklace Bloomberg took out, but the necklace that Bloomberg was worn by Monroe. This is the United States, who knows whether those American rich people will not hang on the Russian queen or queen?

Bloomberg kept urging him, and Yang Jing had no choice but to urge him. Finally, he had no choice but to take out a colorless diamond the size of a broad bean from the box filled with many gems.

This diamond is a cut diamond. It is so big that it weighs more than thirty carats, and it is definitely a super large diamond.
