Rebirth

In the evening of Li Feng's New York garden mansion, a small gathering took place, which was regarded as a banquet to welcome Li Feng to New York.

In addition to those close to Li Feng's side, such as Wang Siqing, Zhou Jiana, Wu Jianmin, etc., there were also several big men and young people from the Rockefeller and Roosevelt families in New York, as well as the three who were still negotiating. Several financial leaders in the bank.

"Sandy, I heard Dominic say that your talks were not going well. It won't be because of the interest. I thought you could negotiate soon, but I will pay you directly one year in advance. ."

"John, in fact, we are not in a hurry to repay your loan. For high-quality customers like John, you have the highest credit rating in our bank. How about a lump-sum repayment before it expires next year?"

"This is a huge sum of at least 12 billion U.S. dollars. You really don't need it?"

"How is it possible? Although the bank says that it is not short of money, but such a large sum of cash, and it is cash, which bank will not need it, otherwise we will not negotiate with you to return it in advance."

"Dominic, what are you talking about?"

"BOSS, Sandy, they want 23% interest."

"How many did you mention?"

"We mentioned 18."

"The difference of 5 points is not a small sum, but Sandy, the interest is 18 in a year. This is really a loan shark. Are you still not satisfied?

Let’s go, Sandy, let’s take a step back. We will increase it to 20 points and sign the contract tomorrow. I think you have my repayment. As long as the money goes to the global stock market for a little manipulation, it is estimated to be far away. It's beyond the remaining 10 points."

...

"This…"

Sandy, the Wall Street tycoon, frowned and hesitated at this time, and turned to look at the rich country who hadn't spoken aside and the two tycoons from Bank of America.

"Well, let's talk about it tomorrow. We will discuss it with the board of directors when we go back tonight."

"That's it, Sandy, as soon as possible, otherwise I really have to wait until the expiry date and then pay it back. Then I will take the capital and invest directly. Nasdaq is so popular now. Just buy a few technology at will. The estimated value of stocks will be overturned next year.” Li Feng said casually to several American financial leaders.

As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional, but Li Feng's muttering made the eyes of several financial tycoons shine.

That’s right, the Nasdaq is so popular nowadays. After this loan is returned, I find a way to transfer it to the U.S. and go back to Nasdaq. Not only the funds are returned, but it is also a considerable income. Why not do it, who made the US stock market so hot today?

Of course, how the funds can be safely transferred from abroad to the U.S. does not need to be considered by Li Feng. People are global financial circles and Wall Street bigwigs, and there are ways.

I chatted with a few financial tycoons and creditors for a while, and asked Wu Jianmin to accompany a few of his colleagues on his behalf. Li Feng smiled and left and walked towards the places where David Rockefeller, Zhou Jiana and others were.

"David, Kenny, what are you talking about?"

"John, here you are!"

"John, long time no see, I haven't congratulated you yet, it has once again risen on the Forbes list."

"..."

...

"John, this is the most successful art collector in New York-Mr. Robert Hatfield Ellsworth, whom I have mentioned many times to you, and he also has a Chinese name called An Siyuan like you. After greeting, Zhou Jiana smiled and introduced a tall old man with glasses to Li Feng.

"Oh... Ganna has been talking about all kinds of rumors about Robert in my ear. I've been admiring the name for a long time, and now I finally see the real person."

"Hello, John, my friends call me Bob. I don't think I need to tell the name of St. John Lee anymore. Thanks for the invitation tonight."

"John, Bob, it seems that you two have been friends for a long time."

"David, Ms. Zhou bought a lot of art from me before, and John is my most important customer."

"Then you have to be careful of the trading floor of your apartment, John is not bad for money, beware of being sold out."

"Haha..., maybe it's time for these artworks to find their owners, who knows?"

"Haha..."

"..."

Li Feng knew that David Rockefeller and An Siyuan were very familiar with each other. It is said that the Rockefeller family has always had art transactions with An Siyuan. Many artworks were received by the Rockefeller family through An Siyuan in the family’s private museum, and Rockefeller Naturally, the family also donated something from time to time for charity.

Similarly, the largest museum in the United States, the Metropolitan Museum, was originally initiated by a group of New York bankers, merchants, and artists. The Metropolitan Museum has maintained a good relationship with the Rockefeller family since its establishment. Li Feng believes, The banker who initiated the establishment of the Metropolitan Museum must have been in the Rockefeller family.

And An Siyuan once donated nearly 500 precious modern Chinese artworks in one go in the 1980s. Among them, there are many works from Wu Changshuo to Wang Zhen, from Xu Beihong to Fu Baoshi, Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong and many other modern Chinese artists. There are 14 works by Qi Baishi.

Li Feng could not but feel that the good things of China are actually abroad.

...

According to Li Feng, it is estimated that An Siyuan has donated more than a thousand art collections to major museums in the United States. In addition to the metropolis, the Princeton University Museum of Art, the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, and the Cleveland Museum of Art , Yale University Museum, Boston Museum of Art, etc., all of the top museums in the United States have donations from An Siyuan.

These museums accept An Siyuan’s donations. There are hundreds of pieces and dozens of pieces less. It can be seen how many Chinese art works An Siyuan has received. The title of this Chinese art godfather is a little veritable.

Of course, An Siyuan’s collection is not only Chinese artworks, but also a large number of Asian artworks, including artworks from India and other countries are An Siyuan’s acquisition targets, as well as a small number of European and American artworks. In terms of An Siyuan’s Huaxia art collection is the most important, but this one has the reputation of “Godfather of Huaxia Art, King of Ming Dynasty” and many other related Huaxia art collections.

Anyway, at the beginning of China's reform and opening up, An Siyuan came directly to China as an American, and then with the relatively strong financial resources at that time, he went to the north and south of China to collect a large number of China's artworks. in.

Nowadays, thousands of artworks from all over Asia, large and small, are displayed in Ansiyuan's luxury apartments on Fifth Avenue. Among them, Chinese artworks are the most and most diverse.

There is no doubt that for An Siyuan, customers like Li Feng are naturally included in the list of important customers. After all, this is how people are. When wealth is accumulated to a certain extent, art collections are from all aspects. Is one of their most important choices.

Whether it's pretending to be coercive, improving your style, or it's about hiding wealth and increasing the wealth of your family, it's like this in ancient and modern times.

From Bill Gates to Buffett to Li Feng, none of these newly-emerged wealthy people are the biggest buyers in the art market. For this kind of thing, in Ansiyuan’s decades of antique art trading career Seen in it is too much.

...

For An Siyuan, this simple party was specially invited by Zhou Jiana by Li Feng. In other words, An Siyuan’s luxury apartment is not far from Li Feng’s own mansion, both on Fifth Avenue and close to Central Park. From the bedroom window, you can see the beautiful scenery of the famous Central Park.

Tonight’s party is Li Feng’s invitation to some of his closest people. Therefore, the scale is very small. The two most closely cooperating families, the three major banks that are negotiating with him, and An Siyuan, Li Feng, are here. One of New York’s goals.

Because of this, there was a lot of disturbance, and the party tonight was quickly over.
