The busyness of everyone at Robles Securities doesn't seem to have much to do with Situ Nan, and his life is quite enjoyable.
Situ Nan was somewhat obsessed with art collecting, and when he had time, he took Han Gan to visit major museums in New York.
With the exception of London and Paris, New York has the largest number of museums in the world, and many of them are private museums. It is customary for wealthy people in the United States to donate the art they collected during their lifetime, so there are many museums named after those rich people in New York and elsewhere.
The Guggenheim Museum, for example, is one of them. Although the Swiss billionaire Guggenheim has not yet established his museum chain, he is already a well-known art collector.
There are a lot of collectors like him in New York, and there is no way, there are too many rich people. If you have a lot of money and no place to put it, you will naturally collect antiques or something.
Situ Nan went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on 82nd Street on 5th Avenue in New York, USA, which is opposite the famous American Museum of Natural History.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the largest museums in the world, alongside the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris, France, and the East Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia. It houses a collection of art from around the world, including architecture, sculptures, paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, glassware, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, furniture, ancient houses, weapons, armor and musical instruments from all over history. It has more than 3.3 million pieces of art from Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, the Far and Near East, Greece and Rome, Europe, Africa, the Americas, the pre-Columbian period and New Guinea.
In Situan's previous life, after David Koch, a wealthy businessman in New York, spent $60 million to rebuild the Metropolitan Museum of Art Square, the Metropolitan Museum of Art covered an area of 130,000 square meters!
Of course, the current Metropolitan Museum of Art is not as big as Situ Nan's previous life, and its collection is not as rich as it was a hundred years later. What attracted Situ Nan was the collection of more than 2,000 pieces of porcelain from China!
The beautiful porcelain glittered with a sparkling luster, but it pierced Situ Nan's heart deeply, and he was eager to buy this museum. Situ Nan tried to buy some of the porcelain at a high price, but was rejected by the museum.
"My day. You damn guys will regret it, you've pissed off the great Stoney! Out of the door of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Situ Nan turned around and raised his middle finger back!
Damn, if you don't sell it to me, then I'll do it myself, I don't believe that I can't buy a bunch of old antiques with money? When Lao Tzu buys those valuable paintings and other works of art, I won't let your grandsons see them! Lao Tzu is alone in the room and slowly admiring! I'm hungry for you!
Situ Nan was very angry, and he decided to "take revenge"!
The idea was a bit vexatious, but it started an unprecedented history of collecting that didn't love art but was crazy about collecting for non-commercial purposes!
"Go to Broadway!" After Situ Nan got into the car, he said to the driver in front. This is the driver of the Robles family. However, it was requisitioned by Situ Nan
"Okay." The driver replied, expertly starting the car.
After a while, the car stopped in front of the opera house.
"Beauty, how about giving a chance to let the handsome guy in front of you invite you to dinner? Authentic French cuisine! Situ Nan leaned against the door and said to Rose, who was removing her makeup.
"I've seen so many handsome guys like you that I can fill the Broadway Avenues outside. Not enough? While removing her makeup, Rose glanced back at Situ Nan and smiled.
"Oh well! Even if I'm not handsome enough, you have to be moved when I came from far away Los Angeles! Be a little compassionate! Situ Nan continued.
"Alright! That's a good reason! After Rose took off her makeup, she put on a light makeup and looked in a good mood.
Eat, go shopping, watch the play! This trilogy is a must for couples.
So there were a lot of couples in the restaurant, and their sweetness made Rose a little emotional, she sat down, didn't speak for a long time, and the scene with Jack on the Titanic came to mind.
I haven't seen her for a long time, and Rose has matured a lot again, especially the sadness that flashed in her watery eyes is a pity, this is the woman she once loved!
Rose's appearance is still beautiful, the years have given her something special, and Situ Nan can feel the indifferent beauty of the lead emanating from her heart!
This feeling is like experiencing a vigorous love, gradually regaining peace, deep in the heart still retains the good memories of the past, such a woman is calm and indifferent behind the eternal fiery, but unfortunately will not be emotional for someone else.
Situ Nan will never forget that when the Titanic sank, Rose had obviously gotten on the lifeboat, but before the lifeboat was put into the water, she actually jumped back on the Titanic.
Even if you die, you have to die together!
This is great love!
Many times in life, the most difficult thing is choice and determination, especially in the face of danger, it is rare for someone to follow you without hesitation.
Just as crossing is Situ Nan's biggest and deepest secret, the love with Jack on the Titanic is also the biggest secret and most precious feeling in Rose's life.
This is why every time Situ Nan sees Rose, he doesn't seem to be able to pour a little ** except for appreciation, and he doesn't call, just like a friend who can share joy and sorrow.
Is this the so-called confidante?
A female friend with whom you are spiritually independent, soul-equal, and able to reach a deep resonance?
Situ Nan asked in his heart.
The relationship between men and women is nothing more than three kinds of relationships, wife, lover, and confidant.
Situ Nan thinks so: For your wife, you may give her your savings;
For a lover, she can share part of your wealth, and you can satisfy her vanity;
And for confidantes, it may be the person you say to her who doesn't know what to say to your wife and lover! It's more of a spiritual outpouring of spirit.
"The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, the so-called Yi people, on the water side."
You will see the beauty of your confidante, but that beauty may be due to distance, it is a beauty that you can see, but you can't have, even so, you can get spiritual satisfaction from appreciating the beauty of your confidant.
"Tell me about an annoying incident that just happened to me!" Situ Nan's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop and hooked Rose's soul back.
"Oh? Tell me what our great sailor has done so annoyed? Rose laughed.
Situ Nan talked about what he had encountered in the museum, and he felt a little awkward when he saw those beautiful porcelains placed in front of foreigners, and they were appreciated with a kind of owner's attitude.
"Haha! Stoney is so funny, right? Just for this? Why are you so stingy? Wouldn't you just have the money to buy it yourself? Isn't there a lot of collectors in New York? As long as you have the right price, you can buy what you want from them. ”
Rose thought something was wrong, but she didn't expect Situ Nan to be a bit like a child's temper. In her eyes, she always thought that Situ Nan was very mature and stable.
"Well, that's what I think, but I'm still a little angry, and I sometimes like some things in China, you know." Situ Nan said, he took a sip of wine, and continued, "This is a feeling of catharsis, and now I feel much more comfortable saying it." ”
"By the way, if you want to collect, I know that there is a painter in Spain named Picasso, his paintings are very good, they look like they are in a dream, real and illogical, I like them very much." As she spoke, Rose remembered that on the Titanic, she had brought a few paintings of Picasso, but unfortunately they all sank into the sea, and felt a little pity.
"Picasso?" Situ Nan thought for a while, and finally thought that Picasso was coming, oh, it was the one who was not known as the greatest painter of the twentieth century, and he accounted for four of the ten paintings in the auction of the most expensive famous paintings in the world, and Van Gogh had three, almost every painting exceeded 100 million US dollars.
"Is it expensive? I want to buy a few of his paintings! Situ Nan asked.
"It's not very expensive, I used to buy a lot when I was in the UK, usually a few tens or hundreds of dollars can buy one. I don't know how the price is now? It seems that Picasso is now much more famous! Rose thought for a moment and said.
"A few hundred dollars?" Situ Nan didn't believe it, and looked at Rose with wide eyes.
"Yes." Rose said.
"Do you know what you have there? As much as I want! Situ Nan said eagerly.
The two of them talked about painting and art collecting while eating all night, and Rose was much more knowledgeable than Situ Nan in this regard, and the aristocratic lady cultivated by the old-fashioned British was indeed stronger than most nouveau riche in the United States!
"Rose, will you always be an actor on Broadway? If you don't come and help me take care of the art collection business, you just need to buy the paintings of those potential painters, and I will pay for the money, salary and so on. What do you think? ”
Situ Nan said sincerely.
Rose was a little moved, collecting art, especially paintings, used to be a big hobby of her, but after arriving in the United States, financial constraints forced her to give up this hobby.
"I don't think so, you can find an antique dealer in New York about this." Rose thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I'm going to leave Broadway and go to Hollywood in the West." ”
"Don't be too busy rejecting me yet. I thought you could help with that! I still want to leave this to you, it won't take up too much of your time, I don't have many painters I love, just a few, Van Gogh, Picasso, and a few works by Mona, it's easy, you just need to gather information, and I'll send someone to negotiate with them. It doesn't matter how much money you have. Situ Nan said without giving up.
"I do need a job, it's not what I want to do. I'm going to make movies, go fishing, go horseback riding, even fly airplanes, and enjoy the freedom of the world. It's not about money, it's about being interfered with, restricted. Rose spoke her mind.
Situ Nan was touched by this, some people don't live to make money, but to do what they want to do, so he understands Rose's thoughts very well.
"I'm so sorry! Stoney! Rose said.
"No, you don't have to be sorry, I didn't mean to force you, but how to say that? I think you can think about my proposal, we should be able to cooperate very well, no coercion, no constraints, you can go around and do what you want, even you just need to provide information, I let others buy those paintings, a very simple thing, you can also go around and see, long insight, just a beautiful part-time job!
Maybe you don't know very well, but I'm very rich now, and if you don't kill him ruthlessly, you're sorry for God! Situ Nan said playfully.
Rose didn't notice it.
Rose's heart was a little hesitant again, as Situ Nan said, this is a good choice, decent, and the pay is good, anyway, she is tired of Broadway opera performances, why not give it a try?
It seems too hasty to make a decision now, and there are some issues that need to be considered.
So Rose said, "Well, how about I go back tonight and think about it before giving you an answer?" ”
"Good! Even if you refuse, you're always welcome here, if you need my help. ”
Situ Nan said.
Rose glanced at Situ Nan, and the black eyes of the man in front of her were as deep as ink, and he still seemed to be able to see through his own thoughts. The face is gentle, with a faint smile, like a clear spring, clear and transparent, which makes people can't bear to refuse.
