Fight to the third generation

Later, it was discovered that the person who put the painting in the window at the door on consignment in this gallery was called "Villa Andrade".

When Su Yehao heard this long-lost name, he suddenly realized that everything was right.

He explained to Yin Liuli:

"Miss Vera, I was an alumnus with me back then, and the paintings she gave me still hang in my house, and my friends know each other. No wonder Jiang Yu was chosen as a model. The two of them are good girlfriends."

After hearing this, Yin Liuli smiled and said, "That's really a coincidence, I can meet you when you come to New York."

"Donghuang Rose Middle School in Las Vegas is a noble school. Since graduating from high school, alumni have been scattered all over the world. Most of the graduates will choose to study abroad. It is normal to meet alumni abroad."

Su Yehao smiled and added: "Vera was able to hold a private art exhibition when I was in high school. I heard that I went to a European Academy of Fine Arts to study, but I didn't expect to come to the East Village of New York. By the way, the small building A lot of red wine should be purchased from the Andrade family business, and her family also has a red wine estate in Portugal."

Hearing this, Yin Liuli was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "The Andrade family in the casino, the one who is famous for afternoon tea?"

"Yes."

"...It turns out that's the case. I even went to eat some dim sum. The world is really small."

Come to the door of the gallery.

Su Yehao asked the manager to take out the oil painting of Jiang Yu and take a closer look.

Jiang Yu has been a beauty embryo since she was a child. Every Valentine's Day, she always receives a lot of flowers and love letters. Her temperament is pure and comfortable, and she has a face of first love.

The style of this oil painting is super realistic, similar to the painter Su Yehao has heard of with the surname Leng.

In the picture, Jiang Yu's eyes are bright, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, outlining a beautiful arc.

Yin Liuli stared at the painting and looked at it, then whispered to Su Yehao: "Miss Jiang is really beautiful. I haven't had much contact with her. It seems that I only saw her once in KOKO cat cafe. Do you think the painting is like a real person?" In comparison, how similar are they?"

"Looking at it from a distance, it's almost [-]% of it. It's already very powerful. The overall picture looks very comfortable. Since meeting is fate, I want to buy it. It's just suitable as a gift."

Su Yehao switched to English, turned his head and said to the manager: "Help me pack this painting, [-] dollars, right? I want to meet its creator, and ask her if she is free now."

The gallery manager immediately replied, "Then I should call her?"

"Okay, tell her, my name is Su Yehao..."

……

After half an hour.

The oil painting of Jiang Yu has been packaged and the money has been paid.

Miss Vera was sitting in front of Su Yehao at the moment, with a bright smile on her face, and told:

"The painting you bought, I never thought it would be sold, but it took me more than two years to paint it well. I always felt that it would be a loss to sell it at a low price, so I thought If you can't sell it, you can take it home and give it to Jiang Yu as a gift."

"That's right, you are a little rich woman, it doesn't matter if you make money or not, the important thing is not to suffer losses."

Su Yehao made a joke, and continued: "It's all right now. I bought the painting, and I will give it to Jiang Yu in the future. Her father is now in a business partnership with me, and he is worried that there will be no gifts for her."

Vera has a simple personality, but she is not stupid.

She looked at Yin Liuli, and wondered if Su Yehao said in front of the girl that he would give Jiang Yu a gift, and whether he would be beaten when he returned home.

Obviously, Miss Vera knew nothing about Su Yehao's family status.

As long as it is not too much, Yin Liuli usually turns a blind eye and closes one eye. If she is easily angry, she would have died of anger.

Actually.

Yin Liuli is also very curious about Miss Vera at the moment.

For the first time, she knew that there was such a white girl beside Su Yehao, whose appearance was so exquisite that she looked like a doll. Apart from her good family background, she also seemed to be very talented.

Although there were 1 reluctances in her heart, Yin Liuli still sighed silently, the eyes of this big radish beside her are really picky.

There are so many beauties around her, no matter Jiang Yu or Miss Vera, it makes her feel a lot of pressure.

It's true that everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of appearance and body, but regardless of education, family background, etc., Yin Liuli thinks that she has lost miserably. It is no wonder that she is so unconfident when she usually gets along with Su Yehao.

Vera took a sip of the lemonade, put down the glass, and asked softly, "I remember Jiang Yu's father, who is the teacher in your family, how could he do business with you?"

"Master Jiang is no longer a master. Many things happened after graduation. Zhao Yimeng dropped out of school and went home to take over the family business. Jiang Yu went to Hong Kong University and moved to Mid-Levels. I think they all miss you. By the way, why did you come?" New York?"

Su Yehao finished asking.

Vera grew up in Las Vegas, and speaking Cantonese has no pressure. She explained:

"I'm just living here temporarily. My mentor has accepted a commercial order to create a large cathedral mural. I and a few classmates have already lived with him for three months, and it is estimated that we will stay for another four or five months. The oil painting you bought, I always carry it with me, I will draw it when I have time, and I will finish it when I come to New York, I didn't expect to meet you."

Creating oil paintings is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Especially the pursuit of extremely fine realistic oil paintings is far more difficult than impressionism and abstraction.

After listening to Su Yehao, he found that Vera was much more cheerful than before, and said with a smile: "Yes, life is really wonderful. Following the mentor to paint murals in the church, isn't it just doing free work for others, no wonder I haven't heard any news about you."

"I can't say that. Although it is hard work, creating murals for churches is the dream of many painters. I feel that my painting skills are much better than before."

"...That's right. Anyway, you are young and you like this job very much. There is no harm in learning more."

"Don't talk about me first, Young Master Su, why did you come to New York and travel with your girlfriend?" Miss Vera blinked, with gossip written all over her face.

After Su Yehao finished talking about the art purchase, he found that Miss Vera also knew Jeff Koons, as well as the huge stainless steel balloon dog.

chatted for a while.

Vera received a call and wanted to deliver paints to the teacher, saying that as a thank you for buying the paintings, she wanted to treat them to dinner tonight.

Su Yehao agreed, anyway, he hasn't made an appointment with a few market makers, and he just happens to be free today.

……

Leave with oil painting.

Yin Liuli sighed softly and said in a low voice:

"I found you, why are the women around you so beautiful? For example, this Miss Vera, who is white and young, even moved me when I saw it. Her eyelashes are so long, her eyes are so big, and her blue pupils are watery. "

"...Don't be envious. I heard that white girls age quickly, but Vera's appearance is indeed in line with Asian aesthetics. She used to be very popular in school."

"Huh? Like being welcomed by you?"

"Hey, hey, why did it come to me? Some people's vinegar jar was overturned? It's a bit sour." Su Yehao joked.

Yin Liuli took his arm, glanced at the handbag containing the oil painting, snorted softly, and said with a smile:

"If I was jealous, I would have drowned in vinegar long ago. Usually, even when you buy a piece of clothing, you have to hand over the handbag to the bodyguard to help carry it. Today, you actually carry such a heavy oil painting by yourself. Guess what? why?"

Su Yehao lost his temper for a moment, pretended to be stupid and shook his head: "I don't guess, I can't guess..."

Chapter 486 The Most Powerful Woman in Manhattan

Yin Liuli is a little better.

Even if she knew in her heart that she would rather feel wronged, she would never make things difficult for Su Yehao.

This oil painting is not the point, the point is Jiang Yu painted on the oil painting.Yin Liuli teased her lightly, skipped the topic, and discussed where to eat tonight.

Also.

She also asked about Mademoiselle Vera Andrade.

Su Yehao briefly introduced a few words, only to realize that he actually doesn't know much, it's just that he pursued her in the early years, and he is very good at painting, etc.

Miss Villa's ancestors were Portuguese aristocrats, but they declined a little later.

Her family moved to Las Vegas to develop, mainly engaged in art and jewelry retail, as well as wine business.

The small building near the St. Paul’s commercial street opened before, and the channel for purchasing drinks from Wei La’s house was found in the Little Nizi’s Liren Huangting Club. Since leaving Donghuang Rose Middle School, Su Yehao has only heard a few things about Wei La’s family. pull the news.

After more than a year, today is the first time I see her...

evening.

Take a walk and walk around Wall Street.

Su Yehao touched the head of the big golden bull, which was a little joyful, and he wanted to be bullish. He hoped that if he continued to work hard this year, he might have the opportunity to step into the "Ten Billion Dollar Club" and experience the addiction of becoming a billionaire.

With his wealth accumulated, the speed of making money is getting faster and faster. As long as Yanwen Group's increase after listing is large enough, it is possible to become a millionaire with tens of billions of dollars this year.

It's just that now paper wealth comes easily, and after the stock market crashes, money disappears quickly.

It's just a numbers game, and it's true that it's safe.

Fortunately, as long as we work steadily and earnestly manage the company well, we can earn back the bubble that disappeared in a few years.

In this early March of 1999.

The Federal Reserve's interest rate hike has hit a new round of the information industry revolution, and the whole Wall Street is thriving. Financial guys in suits and leather shoes walk on the street, which is called a head held high.

The average salary here is similar to that of Silicon Valley, but the number of middle- and high-income earners is far more than that of Silicon Valley.

Being an executive in Silicon Valley with an annual salary of millions is simply impossible, but on Wall Street, it is very likely that a certain trader is lucky and hits a small storm and can get millions of calculations. bonus.

In the previous life, the only thing that could make Su Yehao so envious was to look up.

But now, the income of millions of dollars... that's all, just replace it with a stainless steel balloon dog sculpture and put it at home.

With confidence, you can look at the problem from a completely different perspective.

Walking on the street, Su Yehao was extremely calm when he saw the names of companies related to huge amounts of money, and even looked down on this group of speculators and harmful capital businessmen.

Look at the current economic situation in Southeast Asia. It is in a depression. The chance of a soft landing has been directly smashed by a bunch of hot money, and countless ordinary people have suffered as a result.

Countless companies on this street are expanding their ambitions and greed, harvesting global wealth through financial means. Their existence does more harm than good, like leeches attached to the main arteries of the global economy, triggering a series of wars and financial crises , food crisis, etc., but it does not help the vast majority of people's lives.

After all, there is some difference between a businessman and an entrepreneur, and Su Yehao only hopes to be the latter.

Doing business till now.

The only project he used to deceive people is the listing of Yanwen Group. However, as long as investors don't be impulsive and believe in his ability, within three to five years, Yanwen Group's stock price should skyrocket.

The company is indeed a good company, but it was dragged down by the general environment, and it wasn't all for harming people...

……

Same as traveling.

He left Wall Street by car, went for a walk on Fifth Avenue, and bought some clothes with Yin Liuli.

Ms. Dior's shopping guide has vicious eyes, and she can tell that Yin Liuli's watch is unusual at a glance. She compliments and inquires about the news.

Linda Yun, who was shopping with them, offered the price lightly, making the shopping guides envious.

Su Yehao couldn't laugh or cry at this. He has several million-level watches. Last autumn, a Patek Philippe pocket watch king, which is the 89th anniversary commemorative version code-named Cal.150, was sold for a sky-high price of 410 million US dollars.

He also has one of these things. It is heavy in his hand and weighs more than one kilogram. It is only suitable for decoration at home.

It's just over six o'clock in the evening local time in New York.

In view of Linda Yun's hard work and running around with him recently, Su Yehao gave her a Hermes crocodile leather Kelly bag as a gift, which made Linda Yun very happy, and Yin Liuli also bought a new bag .

This time when I came to New York, I was accompanied by two bodyguards from Las Vegas, and I also bought two bags for them to take home as gifts for their daughter-in-law or girlfriend. , maybe he is fine all day long, but he has to stay by his side all the time.

Temporary Silicon Valley bodyguards, of course, do not have this treatment.

An ordinary Hermès handbag costs one or two thousand dollars, which is quite expensive. Su Yehao still remembers the fact that someone snorted on the plane, and he has already paid overtime pay.

Su Yehao didn't lack anything, so he didn't buy anything himself.

Take the initiative to call Miss Vera and ask her to meet at a French restaurant on Fifth Avenue, the restaurant is called Jean Georges.

hang up the phone.

After asking the shopping guide of Hermes, I walked to the Jean Georges restaurant.

Su Yehao was skeptical, and asked Linda Yun, "Is the French restaurant you recommended reliable? If it doesn't taste good, be careful, I'll eat your new crocodile skin bag and cut it into strips to eat right in front of you."

Linda Yun was in a good mood at the moment, and told her frankly:

"Don't worry, if it doesn't taste good, I'll take care of it. Last year, HBO released a TV series called "Sex and the City". I remember that in one episode, the heroine said that she was the most powerful woman in Manhattan. , is the receptionist at the entrance of the Jean Georges restaurant who decides whether to give you a seat or not. She also said that to prove the status of a New York man, it is to see whether he needs to make an appointment when he comes to Jean Georges."

"... so arrogant?"

Su Yehao was a little flustered, and said suspiciously: "I shouldn't be that famous in New York. If we are stopped outside and can't eat, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?"

These words hit Yin Liuli's smile inexplicably, she chuckled, and said, "I really want to see how this most powerful woman stops you outside."

Linda Yun as the life secretary.

But for a long time, it was more like coming to Su Yehao to help as a friend, without so many rules and regulations.

She also smiled and said, "Don't worry, I promise to help you arrange it properly. You seem to have underestimated your influence. It's just a restaurant. It's okay to let the receptionist feed you."
