Chapter 945 This Feeling Is So Good
The straight-line distance between San Francisco on the west coast of the United States and New York on the east coast exceeds 4100 kilometers. Of course, if you drive on Interstate 80, you need to walk 4600 kilometers, which takes nearly two days.
Even if Old Mike's Boeing BBJ3 business jet flies at a cruising speed of 955 km/h, it will take a little more than five hours including the take-off and landing time.
Old Mike's plane landed not at JFK or LaGuardia, but at Newark International Airport on the west side of Manhattan.The main reason is that the old Mike has a manor here in Princefield. If he does not live in his hometown of Baton Rouge, he will live in this manor.
This estate is far away from Kennedy Airport or LaGuardia Airport in the east of Manhattan, so Old Mike rented a hangar here for a long time at Newark Airport, and his planes usually take off from this airport. dropped.
The distance from Newark Airport to Fifth Avenue in Manhattan is slightly longer than the distance from LaGuardia Airport to Fifth Avenue, but the road here is easier to walk along Interstate 78, and then cross the cross Through the Holland Tunnel at the bottom of the Hudson River, you can directly reach the island of Manhattan.
Old Mike's Boeing BBJ3 business jet was much faster than the C17 transport plane, so when Yang Jing and the others arrived at the private museum on Fifth Avenue from Newark Airport by car, they had lunch and waited for another After many hours, the batch of treasures arrived.
Since the two transport planes also landed at Newark Airport, the Union Patton branch in New York took over the process of escorting these treasures.But the leader was still the middle-aged man Nathan had confessed before.
Old Mike didn't follow, although he was still relatively healthy, but the continuous flying also tormented him a lot, so he didn't follow, he needed to take a good rest at home.
But with Nathan following, everything is not a problem.
The private museum that Mike Sr. bought for $25 million 4000 years ago is located on East 95th Street, west of the famous Museum Avenue.
The so-called Museum Avenue actually refers to the part of the famous Fifth Avenue located in the northern half of Central Park.Fifth Avenue is very long, but it is between 80th Street and 105th Street, because there are many places such as Metropolitan Museum of Art, Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, Jewish Museum, Solomon Guggenheim Art Museum, etc. In addition, there are more than 100 national or private museums of different sizes, so this section of the avenue is called "Museum Avenue" by New Yorkers.
Old Mike was entrusted by Yang Jing back then, relying on the abundant funds of the evil dragon fund, to buy antique art frantically all over the world.As a result, more and more antique artworks were bought, and finally there was no place to put them, so the old man simply spent 4000 million US dollars to buy a bankrupt private museum on Museum Avenue.
This is a four-story brick-red building located on the south side of East 95th Street. There are wrought iron railings at the door, and a wrought iron gate is closed.
According to Nathan, the four floors of this private museum have a total construction area of more than 4000 square meters. At that time, if the owner of this private museum hadn’t gone bankrupt, the building could not have been bought at this location for 4000 million yuan.
This is true. Even in 1995, a square meter of house in this location would not be less than 1.5 US dollars.And old Mike was able to buy this building at a price of 4000 million US dollars, which is only about 1 US dollars per square meter, which is definitely a miss.
Because this building was a museum before, after buying it, Old Mike only carried out some simple renovations and replaced the security facilities, but he didn't make any big moves on this building, so the antiques that Old Mike bought over the years All the art is here.
The museum is specially protected by the people of the dark shield, so there is no need to worry about safety.
When Yang Jing walked into this museum, he was shocked by the dazzling array of antique artworks inside.
Yang Jing felt that the treasures he had found were enough, but compared with the antique artworks that Old Mike had collected over the years, they were still far behind in quantity.
There are thousands of these antique artworks in the museum collection, most of which were collected by Old Mike before the new century.Yang Jing remembered that the old Mike once told himself a figure, that is, the money he spent on acquiring these antique works of art over the years was as high as more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, and the museum has a total of more than 200 The average purchase price of each antique artwork is about 50 US dollars.
Most of these antique artworks were acquired by Old Mike in the 80s and early 90s. At that time, US dollars were quite valuable, and the price of 50 US dollars was definitely not low.
Of course, among these antique works of art, there are oil paintings painted by top masters with a purchase price of tens of millions, and there are also complete sets of antique silver tableware with a purchase price of only tens of thousands of dollars.But whether it is oil paintings or those silver tableware, the price has doubled by several times now.
For example, an oil painting by Paul Cézanne called "Getting Out of the Bath" that Old Mike once paid 300 million US dollars for at an auction in Europe.
Even the complete set of silver tableware used by the British royal family in the Victorian period that he spent tens of thousands of dollars on was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars now!
Therefore, investing in antique works of art is actually a very good business. Of course, the premise is that you invest in antique works of art early enough.For example, Old Mike started investing in antique art in the early 80s according to Yang Jing's instructions, which was naturally a very good time.If you enter the new century and invest in this business, then it doesn't make much sense.
In general, the collections of this museum alone are now worth no less than 200 billion U.S. dollars!
It is no exaggeration to say that if Yang Jing has no money in the future, just selling these antique works of art will be enough for him to live comfortably for eight lifetimes.
Once the convoy arrived, the man in charge of guarding the museum's hidden shield took over the rest.Although this museum bears the name of a museum, since the old Mike took over, the museum has never been open to the public.To put it bluntly, this museum was bought by Old Mike as a safe.
Although it is safer to store these antique artworks in bank vaults, it is easy to expose the specific conditions of these antique artworks.So old Mike was very wise to buy this museum directly as a vault.
Anyway, it's a private museum, and I can't say anything else if I don't open it to the public.Besides, there is no shortage of people in the Dark Shield. A large group of trusted retired soldiers squatted here and took turns guarding it 24 hours a day. It is estimated that no thief would dare to set their coveted eyes here.
This is a private museum, whoever dares to commit crimes from here, those retired soldiers with weapons will definitely let those thieves feel what is called the battlefield in Iraq or Afghanistan
More people are more powerful. Besides, these boxes don’t need to be opened and rearranged after they are transported to the museum. You just need to ask Yang Jing to open them for inspection, and then arrange them in order. So a group of people have been busy for more than ten minutes. They were all moved into the museum.
Seeing that all the treasures entered the museum safely, Yang Jing and Nathan were completely relieved.
After Old Mike brings the nominal curator of the museum here tomorrow, he will be able to issue "cultural relics exchange" documents for all the items in the museum.And Yang Jing also owns a Grand Canal Museum, and the two museums are exchanging cultural relics, and no one can say anything else.
As for those antique artworks that are not allowed to leave the country, who cares!Who can control it?With the current connections of the Dragon Fund, even the U.S. Customs cannot manage these antique works of art for cultural relics exchange.
It's a big deal that those sensitive antique artworks will be directly exported under the name of "imitations"!
Of course, to do these procedures, experts have to do it.The nominal curator knows best which artworks can be exported and which artworks cannot be exported.How to handle cultural relics exchange procedures is still the curator who knows best.With experts around, plus money and connections, everything will be fine.
However, it will take several days to go through these procedures, so Yang Jing is not going to wait here any longer. He needs to go back to China after explaining to Old Mike tomorrow.There are still a series of things that need to be done after returning home.
That night, Yang Jing lived in the apartment on Fifth Avenue, which was the first apartment Yang Jing bought in New York.
After the U.S. stock market crash broke out that year, the real estate prices in the U.S. plummeted. Old Mike took the opportunity to buy such a top-floor duplex apartment for Cole Smith on Fifth Avenue. This was also the first property Yang Jing bought in the past .
The location of this house is very good, it is located at the southeast corner of Central Park, opposite to Central Park, and next to the Plaza Hotel.The house has three floors, the upper two floors are still penthouses, and there is a huge hanging garden outside, with a total area of more than 1 square feet, or about 1100 square meters.
When I bought this house, it cost only $900 million because of the plummeting housing prices.Now, the value of this house has exceeded 1.5 million US dollars, and if it were placed at the highest point of US housing prices before the subprime mortgage crisis, the price of this house reached [-] million US dollars!
However, after buying this house, Yang Jing rarely lived there. When he was in New York, he would live in the manor in East Hampton, Long Island most of the time.This time Yang Jing didn't want to go to Long Island anymore, so he stayed here.
Although the house has been bought for more than 30 years and has not been lived in for a long time, the house is well maintained.Although no one lives in this house, the property management fee paid for one year is extremely high. If the property management company of this apartment building dares not to maintain the house well, Yang Jing can sue the property management company for bankruptcy!
Living in this kind of penthouse with tens of floors high, Yang Jing can feel what the super rich class is.
Anyway, no matter how hard and tiring you have suffered in the past, when you stand on the large roof outside this house overlooking the opposite Central Park, all your hard work will be blown away by the wind!
This feeling is really wonderful.
