The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Mr. Zipper is already a little speechless about Zhang Nan's handwriting. This is just a house for entertaining guests. It is decorated with such expensive and famous paintings. What is used to decorate the main building of this outrageous super manor? ?

It's hard to imagine, but don't worry, it will be revealed in more than two hours.

With regard to the two sky-high price oil paintings, when it was confirmed that they were authentic, Hillary and her husband had to think more about it.

After Hillary went to see the portrait hanging in the study, she whispered to her husband, "Is this a warning?"

Mr. Zipper shook his head and said: "It should not be. I checked it. There is a small amount of dust on the top of the frame. Our decision to be a guest last week was just a coincidence.

Also, there is no listening device here. Mr. Allen is an identified person, and Vincent and the others have checked it, so we can speak with confidence. "

Vincent, Mr. Zipper’s security officer, he was very experienced when he was a senator.

The manor is very clean, and the study room is cleaner. Obviously, someone will clean it from time to time, but the maintenance and cleaning of the famous paintings that hang is only done once in a while, and even the frame is not allowed to be wiped from time to time.

Talking about hygiene is a good thing, but it also depends on the occasion and the target.

Hearing her husband's words, Hillary looked at the portrait again, "I remember that little devil jumped to death. It should have been half a year."

I missed it in the news, and there was more than one.

"Almost, last year I almost didn't anger those who engage in art.

This is great, the mystery is solved. "

"The news said that the paintings were mortgaged to the bank, and I forgot what bank it was."

Mr. Zipper also followed his wife’s eyes to the oil painting on the wall, and said, “I don’t remember the name of the bank. Who will pay attention to that, but I know one thing.”

"What's up?"

"Sunshine Star Group has a lot of investment in Japan, and they are calling for trouble in the financial sector they are most familiar with. Many little devil companies have been destroyed and acquired by it, and several banks have been swallowed by it!

An economic expert I know said that Allen’s financial company has made at least five to hundreds of billion U.S. dollars in cash in Japan over the past few years, plus the fixed assets acquired by whales, which may amount to hundreds of billions of dollars.

The banks in Japan and Japan are all private shareholding systems, and there are not many super large-scale banks. It is not a strange thing to swallow, integrate, or even destroy a few banks by means of financial war, and it is normal.

It is not a difficult task for Sunshine Star. Capital market, capital is the strongest weapon!

Over the years, there have been countless little devils who have jumped off the building. Many of them have been killed indirectly by the sun and stars. Our friend not only has an incredible ability to make money, but he never shows mercy.

But...I don't know if it is lucky or unfortunate. He was born in China. Otherwise, if he participates in the presidential election 20 years later, he will win the election in all likelihood. "

This is very interesting, lucky or unfortunate, I don't know if it is for Zhang Nan personally or from the standpoint of the entire United States.

Maybe it's both.

"Baba, do you think we should be happy to have such a powerful ally?"

Baba, a special nickname for Mr. Zipper’s family, and perhaps a very small number of old friends who have lived for decades would call him that.

But in a few months, except for family members, it is estimated that this nickname will automatically disappear.

Hearing his wife's words, Mr. Zipper smiled: "At least for now, why are you unhappy?

Friends, we can save a lot of trouble by having friends like this. No, friends, it’s better than being an opponent.

Those old-fashioned families are darker than the other, and I don't want to become a puppet of the microphone in the future. This Allen may give us more room for manipulation, and it should be clear after this frank and frank conversation. "

In 1990, at an auction in the Montmartre district of Paris, a Japanese named Saito Ryohei bought the French Impressionist Master Renoir's "Prom at the Moulin Rouge" for a sky-high price of $78.1 million.

Big deal, what does this guy do?

The president of the little devil, Dai Showa Paper, is rich in paper production, but he is not up to the level of the world's top rich. He likes to collect art very much, and his personality is very conceited and arrogant!

A pair of "Moulin Rouge Prom", Saito Ryohei also bought Van Gogh's portrait of Dr. Gachet, who took care of him a month before his suicide, for a sky-high price of 152 million US dollars, which directly broke the world. Auction records of famous paintings!

At the end of 1989, many little devils jumped off the building because of the stock market crash, but most of these hapless ones were investors. As for the major shareholders of listed companies, it was just a decrease in the figures on paper.

Besides, the stock market has collapsed, but the overall economic recession has a lag period, otherwise Ryohei Saito will not spend more than 200 million US dollars on paintings at once, let alone his crazy clamor last year!

At the beginning of last year, Saito Ryohei also announced to the public: When I die, I will set "The Prom of the Moulin Rouge" and "Portrait of Doctor Gachet" together!

The little devil is very good at playing, and this immediately aroused public outrage, but others can't help it: What can I do with the personal items that people spend a lot of money on?

It is estimated that the crazy Saito Ryohei thinks the same way: these painters are my paintings, and I have to be my paintings when I die, and none of you want to own them!

Then...

This person shouldn’t be too mad. If he’s too mad, he will suffer retribution. I don’t want to think about why there are wealthy agents who have more money than him when they are on the auction floor. The agent looked at him like a dead man.

Oh, the agent with weird eyes was told in advance: "Just push the price to 75 million and 150 million, and then you can watch the show."

The client is like doing a trivial game, and he says he doesn't have time, otherwise he has to go to the auction house to tease the 250 fool.

Pushing is not buying, everything is expected: the client has no intention of buying at all!

Madmen want to bring famous paintings to hell, but Japan’s unstoppable economic recession swept like a frenzy under the drag of the stock market that couldn’t bring it back to life.

Saito Ryohei's paper group also suffered a serious economic crisis. In addition, some people were idle and let the subordinates take care of them. Not only those two famous paintings were forced to be mortgaged to the bank, but other art collections also basically entered. The bank's vault.

Then, the banks are all over, and the due collateral will naturally become the property of the bank's creditors.

The auction of the auction, the disappearance of the disappearance, all depends on the happiness of the major creditors.

The purchase price was more than 200 million, and the mortgage could not hold that much. When Saito Ryohei, who was heavily in debt and ruined, jumped down from the window of the office building, Zhang Nan got the artwork he needed.

Two months later, a small project team in the financial branch of Sunshine Star of Japan found that the entire targeted financial operation process project team had lost more than 60 million US dollars, which seemed to be a heavy loss.

In fact, not to mention the small bits and pieces taken away by the boss ~ www.readwn.com~ The purchase price of Renoir and Van Gogh's paintings alone is 230 million US dollars.

In fact, there is no loss, but also a lot of money!

Zhang Nan knows that people are going to sell paintings, but he is not interested in letting people go to auctions to fight with others: two paintings sold for more than 200 million, are you stealing money or are you ready to launder money?

There is something wrong with the brain!

Good now, the company staff assigned to the little devil was relatively idle at the time, so I found something to do for them.

In a few months, the price of the two famous paintings has become less than 1/3, and there are some extra small trophies, which is a very good business.

The original Showa Paper Co., Ltd. could also become its own industry, but Zhang Nan hated all things with the word "Showa" and didn't like it.

His investment group in Japan was even less interested in the papermaking industry, so he sold the shares of the papermaking group he had previously obtained from the dead ghost Saito Ryohei.
