Supreme Sacred Ring, Carefree Tycoon!
In the 80s, a good-quality old Hainan Huanghuali round-backed armchair from the Qing Dynasty could be yours for just twenty yuan. Now, two million yuan o...
"When I went to Yanjing for the first time last year, I took a Chinese American named Pete Wu with me. Pete Wu is 35 years old this year. He is from Chinatown in downtown New York and used to work for an old friend of mine. Pete Wu is a second-generation immigrant who speaks fluent Chinese and is quite knowledgeable about antiques and artworks, so I found him through my friend. Pete Wu now lives in Yanjing and specializes in buying antiques and artworks for you. In the past year or so, he has really collected a lot of good things. The last time I went to Yanjing, the antique furniture, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and other things he bought had filled up five large rooms, and he spent less than five million dollars to buy these things. He is in charge of this work over there and has done an excellent job."
Yang Jing asked: "What is this person's humanity like?"
"It's not a big problem. The most important thing is that every transaction of Peter Wu has relevant procedures, and I have arranged three people to accompany him there, so you can rest assured about the financial matters. I may not be proficient in other things, but I think I am quite proficient in matters related to fund monitoring."
After hearing these words, Yang Jing felt relieved.
Originally, Yang Jing wanted to use his restricted time-space travel skills to go back to Yanjing in the 1980s to purchase those old items. Later, he thought about it and felt that it was a bit unsafe, so he made such a plan.
If I go back to purchase it myself, although I can try my best to avoid the occurrence of time and space paradox with the reminder of the Holy Ring, it is still not as quick and safe as letting foreigners purchase it.
The most important thing is that if you go back to the 1980s to buy old items, you have to exchange a large amount of old national currency in the original time and space. However, if you use foreigners to buy them, there will be no such problems.
At that time, China was short of foreign exchange. Letting foreigners use US dollars to purchase those old items in Yanjing not only eliminated the restrictions of the old version of the national currency, but also increased the foreign exchange reserves for the motherland. Why not do it?
When a certain time comes, you can send these foreigners back, and then you can quietly wait in the original time and space for someone in charge of the Dragon Fund to give you the Dragon Fund...
"Mike, just continue to do what I told you to do in the next two years. Buy as much as you can. Money is not a problem. As long as you can buy as many fine works of art as possible, that will be fine."
"Haha, Boss, I really like this job, so you don't have to worry about it. After New Year's Day, I will quit my current job and return to my hometown of Louisiana. By then, I will have more time and freedom to serve you."
"Well, I'll have to trouble you more in the next few years. By the way, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to. Around 1985, I will need Cesar and his men to do another operation for me."
"Are there any good investment projects again?" Mike Aller asked in surprise.
Yang Jing nodded and said, "It's hard to say now. I just have this judgment. The specific situation needs to be observed for a few more years."
"Well, if you need anything, you can just call my home number." Mike Aller took out one of his business cards, wrote a string of numbers on the back of the card, and handed it to Yang Jing. "This is my home phone number. If you need to find me, just call this number. If I'm not at home, my family will also be able to contact me."
Yang Jing took the business card and put it carefully into his wallet.
"Mike, contact Peter Wu and tell him that I might visit Yanjing soon. Tell him my name, um, it's Michael Lynch, not my real name."
Mike Aller made a "don't worry" expression and said, "I know what to do. Don't worry, Boss. Apart from Cesar and me, no one else will know your real name."
At noon, Yang Jing and Mike Aller had a meal. After the meal, they discussed for a long time. Then Yang Jing said goodbye and went out, strolling away along an alley.
After walking to a corner and observing the surroundings to make sure there was no one around, Yang Jing decisively activated the restricted time-space travel skill. The next moment, he was back in the room of the hotel in Jinling.
Because of the speed of time flow, Yang Jing went to the Cayman Islands and stayed there for about ten hours, but in the original time and space, only less than two hours had passed, and it was still late at night.
Mike Aller did an excellent job, even better than Yang Jing expected.
Originally, Yang Jing thought that Mike Aller might have made some mistakes during the time he was away, but he didn't expect that this calm old guy was so flawless and took into account all the necessary things.
The most important thing is that the quantity and quality of the artworks he bought really surprised Yang Jing.
Originally, Yang Jing thought that it would be good enough for Mike Aller to buy about five famous oil paintings a year. As a result, in less than two years, Mike Aller directly bought sixteen oil paintings, including works by masters such as Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Simon Houet.
Especially Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon", which was a surprise among surprises.
When this painting finally becomes part of the collection of his own private museum, it will definitely cause quite a stir.
