The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Hillary felt good in her heart. The host obviously took into account the feelings of the guests. The hostess here wore a purple-toned silk gown, which matched the color of her eyes.

The clothes of the hostess were very good, and the pink dress that Hillary wore was not bad, and Nicole would not wear any other jewelry except for a black pearl necklace on her neck that was not particularly conspicuous.

As for Charlie, she only wore a dragonfly eye with a history of more than two thousand years. Although it was expensive, at first glance it was nothing special and looked low-key.

Carthage’s dragonfly eyes, one of the star princess’s signatures, will look a little tricky if you deliberately don’t wear jewelry or use other “low-key” jewelry as a foil. Dragonfly eyes appear on such occasions.

There are no gorgeous diamonds, and no gorgeous gems of all colors. It is so simple. If you only look at the visual effects, it is not as gorgeous as the gold inlaid lapis lazuli necklace around Hillary's neck.

Hillary Clinton loves turquoise and lapis lazuli, which are circulated in the family circle of high-level American politics, and Zhang Nan and Nicole also know it.

On this official visit, both sides had predicted the dress of the other party, and everything did not exceed expectations. This is suitable for both the host and the guest.

Lily and my sister don’t need any necklaces this time. Little kids, it’s okay to be a princess obediently today. It’s better not to take out some of the little toys of the two little guys, lest they come to be a guest The first lady was embarrassed.

After a brief greeting on both sides, he walked into the hall.

Zhang Nan is slightly shorter than Mr. Zipper by one or two centimeters. Obviously, according to the legend, he is 1.88 meters tall and has a lot of moisture, but 84 and 85 are almost the same.

Nicole is more than half a head taller than Hillary. The latter is about 1.64 meters. The first couple in this meeting looks very young. It is quite harmonious when a few people walk together until they walk into the main building lobby...

Good fellow, Hillary was almost shocked: She never expected the floor height of the main hall of the main building to be so amazing, she almost couldn't hold back her neck to look at the ceiling!

When I was outside, I thought that the main hall inside the main entrance was the size of the main hall in the antique-style "castle" I was staying in today, and the couple felt that the hall in front of them could be as high as five stories!

They were right. The height of the hall reached an astonishing 16 meters, because Nicole previously thought that this design effect would be very good.

When she was a student, she visited Germany and visited the hill manor of the Krupp family. She was deeply impressed by the 16-meter-high hall in the main building.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to build a new main building in the manor, Nicole asked the designer to create such an exaggerated hall, but unfortunately...

She is a super decision maker in the financial industry, but she is definitely not an architectural expert. As a result, she has overlooked one thing: visiting scenic spots and living together at home are two completely different feelings and mentalities!

As a result, the family rarely enters and exits their home through the front door of the new main building, because the family doesn’t seem to like this kind of tall and empty space, and now, even Nicole has begun to hate having to look up for the ceiling when entering a feeling of.

We want to live at home, not open a museum for people to visit!

Fortunately, the main building is big enough, wide enough, and long enough, and there are enough large and small doors. You must enter and exit from the main entrance if you don't have to, and the doors on the east and west sides are big enough and grand enough.

But today we have to welcome the guests from the front door. This is an attitude.

Well, the zipper couple was also shocked by this hall. It’s really good to face these with the mentality of visitors. There are a lot of cold medieval armors erected on both sides, and there are some ancient marble statues. Let it be a bit solemn.

The windows in the hall are very high, and there are dozens of oil paintings of various sizes on the walls, but they are not small in size, and they are probably all masterpieces.

The two Zipper couples studied law, not art or fine arts, and they can’t recognize who painted those paintings: As for the two paintings that I paid attention to before, one was reminded by the butler, and the other was because those two paintings had been published many times , I have seen it.

Without staying in the hall, Zhang Nan did not introduce the interest of the furnishings here: it is very grand, but because it will be rejected by the whole family, it will become an aisle.

Besides, if I introduce the furnishings one by one, would I still eat?!

A group of people continued to move forward. Vincent and his colleagues were led to the lounge by the servant. The zippered couple and the host family passed through a wide and particularly high door and entered a much more normal living room: it was more normal. , The height is only five or six meters.

The furnishings are also normal. The wooden structure and leather sofas and chairs are modern styles with all other furniture. The colors of the four walls are different from the previous halls. They are much brighter, and there is no awkwardness of looking up at the ceiling. , People also become relaxed.

Everyone sits and rests first. From here, you can see the bay in the distance through the windows, and the beautiful garden is even more sweeping. Dinner will need to wait a while, and the two children will leave this meeting temporarily. They will not eat together during dinner.

Apart from the servants in the living room, Zhang Nan, Nicole, Charlie, and the zipper couple, plus Guan Boss.

Guan Xingquan is not an outsider, but a family member. This cooperation is normal.

The Zippers knew that Mr. Guan, who looked a little awkward, was not an ordinary bodyguard. He had met him two years ago, and they knew that he was not talkative, so he would be just like air.

Improper air is not appropriate, few people are willing to chat with such a cold guy, very tired!

Okay, actually that's why Guan Xingquan didn't treat others as his own, otherwise at least everyone would be able to speak well.

This is the place where Zhang Nan’s family sits after the construction of the new building. The layout is relatively warm. The furniture is modern. The paintings on the walls are not cold portraits. The style is much more lively. It is dynamic.

After sitting down, Hillary noticed that a large oil painting on the opposite wall seemed familiar...

"What are you doing!"

This thought came out of my mind automatically!

That painting is not a familiar problem. She had watched the same painting carefully ten minutes ago: "The Prom of the Moulin Rouge"!

Nicole noticed the change in Hillary's attention, and smiled: "Allen really likes this Moulin Rouge by Renoir, so he hung both versions where he can see it."

Mr. Zipper also noticed the painting on the wall. Hearing this, he was sure that the two paintings were authentic Renoir.

Magic!

The more magical thing is still behind. From Nicole's mouth, I learned that the one hanging in the building before was the one that was almost burned by the little devil, more than 70 million.

As for this picture...

"...It’s a coincidence. Allen found it in a museum's art storage room. No one thought it was the original one at the beginning. It has been left in the corner for decades..."

Nicole is a nice person. I won’t say which museum I got it from. Otherwise, I will get this joke-like news from the President of the United States in the future.

Some people only think that the treasure is outflowing, but they don't think about it. If there is no agreement between the curator and gentleman, let alone the new museum will not exist. God knows where this version of "Moulin Rouge Prom" will appear in the future.

Perhaps it was on the wall of a nightclub, or it was used as a decoration for an agency or government conference room, and then it was thrown into the trash when the house was renovated!

The rich are not created in a day. Ability is very important, and luck is equally important.

Hillary has the heart of a strong woman in her bones, but she will be led by Nicole unconsciously, because some of the things that are said are too weird and fascinating!

For example, when I just bought a house, I took a metal detector to hunt for treasure in my own home when I was idle, and I found gold coins worth millions of dollars!

This luck can't be simply used to describe it as explosive, it is simply a supernova explosion, and Hillary can't help but get a detector when she goes home, and check her backyard after returning home.

Women talk casually, and men talk more formal, all about electioneering.

Soon, Tom, the first housekeeper, came to invite everyone to eat.

French-style Western food is nothing special, except that the ingredients are relatively fresh and slightly expensive, and the chef's craftsmanship is comparable to a Michelin three-star.

Zhang Nan didn't let the Zipper couple taste Chinese food. It was the first time to be a guest. It's better if others don't know how to eat.

The wine is of course the drop of gold from our own winery. The best vintage aging wine, one bottle is almost a year of Mr. Zipper's salary, and even the tableware are top luxury items.

It's not that Nicole made the housekeeper show off, it's just that the porcelain used at home is of such a brand: If she is to entertain the most important guests, if the guests also like Chinese food, she may use wool porcelain!

The Americans are ignorant, and the tableware used here can make the zipper couple be careful not to fall. If you change into Zhang Nan's ostentation of eating at Belle Mansion in the capital, you will have to get cramps!

Now the hand cramps, and in another twenty years, you will have to get epilepsy directly: an inadvertent drinking cup can cost tens of millions of dollars, a bowl that can be eaten can even cost tens of millions of dollars, and a plate of fruit will cost thousands of dollars. Ten thousand…

Can't eat this meal!

Now that the meal is finished smoothly, Nicole walks with Hillary around the house, which is considered a visit.

As for Mr. Zhang Nantong Zipper, this will go to the smoking room, and it's time to say business.

There is no need to greet each other. They have been polite enough before, sitting on the sofas separately, and Zhang Nan speaks very straightforwardly.

"William, I am a more straightforward person, not accustomed to the obscurity and hypocrisy of politics, and I treat my friends even more honestly. I hope you can understand."

Mr. Zipper nodded slightly and said, "Understand, since I'm here, I just hope to have a frank chat."

Zhang Nan smiled, "You will win this year's election for William. Lao Bo will never be re-elected unless the third world war breaks out now."

The Soviet Union is gone, and the new world war hasn't been fought for the time being, and there is no possibility of accidents. As long as the consortium of interests behind the Sunshine and Stars is still fully supporting William.

This is a reassurance for Mr. Zipper, and then it is Zhang Nan's request.

"I don't need a special return, just a few.

First, the external environment of our group’s operations during your eight-year tenure is hoped to maintain the status quo. This refers to all the companies under the group, including my joint strength.

Of course, if there are unstoppable reasons in the general environment, we need to make some changes, I hope we can sit down and talk in advance. "

Zhang Nan is talking about an eight-year term. This is self-confidence. Self-confidence can make the other party succeed in re-election!

"This is no problem. Large consortia are the foundation of the United States.

But Allen, I hope that your financial company will be a little relaxed when it can rob the domestic market. There are not too many ordinary voters who go bankrupt. Sunshine Star, a giant, is already very scary for Wall Street. "

Regarding this, Zhang Nan said: "Don't worry, everything will be within the rules of the game, and you won't always think about grabbing money from ordinary people, and it will make you embarrassed over there."

The whole world is the same. It doesn't matter if you grab your own money once or twice. If you do too much, you will be gossiped and hated.

If there is another economic crisis in the U.S., as a result, Sunshine Star engages in speculative fights and collapses other consortia, of course, it will be no problem, but it will be no good if a large number of ordinary people are forced to line up on the rooftop.

You have to know that Sunshine and Star seem to like to do it very much and has the ability to do it.

The conversation was very harmonious. At present, the two sides have clearly reached an agreement: play within the rules of the game, not to die internally, and externally... The President of the United States has always hoped that the outside world will not be too stable.

Zhang Nan's request will still be there. Mr. Zipper knows this very well, otherwise the "President" would be too relaxed.

Sure enough, Zhang Nan said: "In the past month or two, I obtained mining exploration and mining rights for a few large plots of land in north-central Nevada. Now there is a worthless desert, but in a few years there may be a huge amount. benefit.

The cost of tax within the legal framework of a penny will not be less than the federal and state governments, and the regulations that need to be implemented, such as environmental protection, will not be a problem.

I hope that during your tenure, there will be no new restrictions on the development of those mines at the federal level. "

North-central Nevada is definitely a wasteland, Mr. Zipper knows this.

"What mines are there that are worth mentioning by this Allen?"

There were doubts in his mind. Since today's conversation was frank and honest, Mr. Zipper also said his doubts, so as not to have no bottom in his heart.

"Gold mines, several huge gold mines, far exceed the scale of all the gold mines combined during the western gold rush of the last century."

Upon hearing this ~www.readwn.com~Mr. Zipper smiled.

"I said Allen, this is a good thing. Federal taxes will increase. Nevada is now useless except for casinos. It is definitely a good thing to have a big gold mine.

As long as your financial experts are not too dark, it will never be easy for me.

But in Nevada, I can only influence at most, but I can't be the master. "

Well, it’s good to think about it this way. In the United States, it’s impossible to exploit the loopholes in Canada. The net income of a mine site is hundreds of millions of Canadian dollars a year. As a result, only a few hundred thousand Canadian dollars in taxes need to be paid.

This is the United States. Zhang Nan can make a lot of money for a long time by relying on those super large gold mines, and he will not pay less tax. It can also increase the employment rate in that barren land. It is a matter of mutual benefit for everyone.

As for Nevada...

The United States is a federation, and the states have great power, but it is always good to have the influence of the president. Besides, Zhang Nan is not a vegetarian.
