Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi seemed to really like Sienna, who was fair-skinned, beautiful, blond, blue-eyed, and long-legged. He kept holding her little hand and carefully admiring all the domestic antiques on the 6th to 8th floors of the attic.

He didn't really understand it, so he could only read it briefly.

Ventilate first.

They expressed an attitude to each other. If the real deal was to take place, Senior Wu Yu would have to find some cultural relic experts from China. There are more than 8,000 pieces in the collection, and it may take a month of work to identify them one by one.

Things like porcelain and jade should be real.

The trouble is calligraphy and painting.

Counterfeiting has been rampant in this stuff from ancient times to the present, and even experienced insiders can easily misjudge it.

At noon, Ariana wanted to leave Zhou Buqi and the others to have dinner at home.

Zhou Buqi declined.

He has an appointment at noon.

Before leaving, Zhou Buqi said bluntly: "I want all these collections from our country. If you need more funds, I am also interested in some oil paintings. For other things, I will There is nothing I can do. Let’s do this, I can eat 10,000 pieces of the collection. Except for these more than 8,000 pieces of our country’s antiques, you can take care of the rest.”

Ariana pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, I'll handle it."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "There won't be any trouble, right?"

"How could it be?" Ariana looked very happy. The flush on her face seemed to have not subsided yet, and then she sighed softly, "Everyone has wanted to get rid of these things for a long time. Some of them were taken out a few years ago. It’s not very effective.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Go to the auction and bid. The process is cumbersome, the commission is too high, and the scale of the sale is also small."

"Actually, the most important thing is not this."

Ariana bit her red lips gently.

Zhou Buqi asked: "That is?"

Ariana said: "This will affect the family's reputation. The Rockefeller inheritance has been passed down for a hundred or two hundred years and has been divided into several families. We cannot allow other families to be implicated in reputation and public opinion because of our art sales."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

As the family grows, it becomes really troublesome to deal with many things.

Many of the best descendants, in order to escape the identity troubles brought by such a large family, may change their names and leave the family. Those who are left behind are unscrupulous descendants who are waiting to die.

Zhou Buqi understands this very well!

Because he was then.

When he was first reborn, he really had no way to change the outdated and severe status quo within the Zhou family. He, a junior, had no say at all.

what to do?

Zhou Buqi took the opportunity to apply for college after passing the college entrance examination, escaped from his hometown in Northeast China, and ran alone to the capital, a place he was unfamiliar with... This allowed him to show off his talents without any constraints, and his life was out of control.

Ariana whispered: "If we complete this art transaction, I hope both parties can keep silent about it and not give the media a chance to speculate. It is best not to let the outside world know. Zhou, I hope you can understand I."

Zhou Buqi agreed immediately, "Yes!"

…

The group left the Rockefeller home.

Leave this area first.

When they got to the front, they changed cars and the others returned to Manhattan. Zhou Buqi took Ning Lu with him and went to Carl Icahn's house for lunch.

While there was still some distance between us, Aunt Xue couldn't help but ask: "You disappeared for two hours. I was a little panicked at the time. I thought something had happened."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "What could happen? I went to visit Ariana's bedroom, just to enjoy it. I also called Sienna over, you should know, right?"

"I know that I know, but it can't last so long, right?" Aunt Xue rolled her eyes at him, "It's only been two hours. I thought you fell down from exhaustion with them."

Zhou Buqi curled his lips and said: "Either you are inexperienced and don't know my fighting power. Only after you have experienced it yourself will you understand the majesty of your master."

"Pooh."

Aunt Xue took a careful look at Ning Lu sitting in the front row, felt a little embarrassed, and rolled her eyes.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It's nothing, just taking pictures in her room."

"Photograph?"

"Well, this time I came to Rockefeller's house just for the art. I think they both have good figures. Their bodies are well maintained. They are plump, sunny, and healthy. They are like works of art. Just give them They took photos and took five rolls of film."

"Without any clothes?"

"Um."

"She's wearing neither."

"Um."

"Where's the film?"

Aunt Xue looked around and didn't see that he had any film with him.

Zhou Buqi said: "I didn't take it, it's with them."

Aunt Xue teased: "Isn't that a waste of time?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Ariana said she would give it to me after the photo is developed."

Aunt Xue snorted: "It's weird that I can give it to you! Who would want to give such a photo to an outsider, and you are not familiar with it. For a woman, this is the biggest advantage."

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "This is a test for both of them. If you don't send me the photos, or if you hide the more than 20 close-up photos of private parts and don't give them to me, it means that They are not sincere enough to be trustworthy. However, I think Ariana is quite smart and has a high emotional intelligence, so she would not make such a stupid mistake."

Aunt Xue gave him a sharp look.

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi was very surprised, "Why are you staring at me? Don't you think my method is very clever? If she is not even willing to give me nude photos, she still wants me to believe that he will invest with her?"

"Yeah, yeah, clever! So clever!" Aunt Xue was really convinced, thinking that this method was really despicable, "You can even play tricks on women."

Zhou Buqi leaned over and whispered, "As promised, you will toast me tonight."

Aunt Xue's face turned red and she whispered, "What's the big deal?"

"Don't forget, you are kneeling down to toast." Zhou Buqi added, with pride in his eyes, "Let's see if you are willing to surrender to me."

"Why didn't I surrender?" Aunt Xue felt a little aggrieved, "Why don't I always rely on you? I have become your vassal."

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi glared, "Is it bad to be a vassal? Are you unwilling?"

Aunt Xue whispered: "I didn't say I didn't want to."

Zhou Buqi was in her ear and said seriously: "I think this is good. I can even train you so well. Isn't it easy to face the women outside?"

Aunt Xue was angry and funny, "Do I still have gong?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Great credit! Let's just talk about Ariana. She still wants to fight with me, she is a beauty trap, and her grandfather and grandson are on the same stage... Humph, what kind of scene have I not seen before? I can't even see it. You and Baoshan can take care of themselves, but you can't deal with them? It's a joke!"

"Yeah, yeah, you're the best."

Aunt Xue felt that the little bastard was getting more and more ridiculous as he talked. The key was that this was not a space to be alone. There were other people in the car. The driver couldn't understand Chinese, but there was Ning Lu in the front seat.

Aunt Xue quickly avoided the topic and asked, "I see there are many people in the Rockefeller family. How can we let a little girl come out to make arrangements?"

"Ariana?" Zhou Buqi smiled, "Didn't I tell you that she is the heir. She has a lot of seniority. Many of her brothers and sisters are in their seventies or eighties."

Aunt Xue was very surprised. The next generation of family power would fall into the hands of Ariana?

"right."

"Is this okay? Is she too young?"

"Youth is an advantage. This shows that David Rockefeller is not old and confused, and his thinking is still very clear." Zhou Buqi didn't even need to ask, he could guess what was going on in Ariana's house. How to arrange inheritance.

Aunt Xue found it difficult to understand, "Why? Can young people with no experience handle the complex relationships of such a large family?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Those are all trivial matters. The biggest trouble is inheritance tax."

"Um?"

"If the inheritance rights are given to an old man in his seventies...when this generation of the family dies, and ten years later, the next generation of the family dies too, they will have to be taxed again by the U.S. federal estate tax. . It will be different if Ariana is the successor. She is young and may live sixty or seventy years."

"ah?"

Aunt Xue was stunned.

Can this still be done?

Zhou Buqi said: "That David Rockefeller gave birth to Ariana when he was over seventy years old. Maybe it was to solve the problem of inheritance. Fewer generations to pass on, and fewer rounds of inheritance taxes to pay. "

Aunt Xue didn't believe this, "Stop it, you men, do you think so much when you are having fun?"

Zhou Buqi said sternly: "Why not? I never play with women just for the sake of playing with women. It's all for work! Just like Ariana and Sienna, they enjoy playing together. Do you think I just want to play with women?" Is this for fun? This is to improve work efficiency! Without this method, if you want to reach a deal with her family to buy these antiques from our country, you may not be able to complete the operation in a year. "

Aunt Xue said softly: "Well, that's why I always tell Baoshan that men should sometimes have more contact with women when they are outside. If they have less contact, they will be easily deceived."

Zhou Buqi nodded and expressed approval, "Well, you have always been very enlightened. You can't always tell Bao Shan, but tell everyone at home. Men work outside, and they often start with women's bodies. Taking action will be the simplest and most effective method."

Aunt Xue has been with him for a long time, and gradually she can agree with this point of view, "But is there really no one in the Rockefeller family? Do you need a woman to support you?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Perhaps all the outstanding people have left, and those who remain are crooked melons and cracked jujubes."

"ah?"

Aunt Xue didn't quite believe it.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "It's like there is a big Hollywood star named Nicolas Cage. I see you always watch his movies. He escaped from his family and changed his name to create a new world."

"Yeah?"

"Well, his original surname is Coppola. Does Coppola know about it? The Coppola who was the great director had a lot of influence in Hollywood in the past. He was the leader of the Jewish circle, Spielberg, George Lucas and the others were his little brothers.”
