Chapter 25
Chapter 25: Money and goods 2 clear
In the lobby, four major customers are thinking about the price.
In another room, the fat man pulled Yang Jing in surprise, and whispered to Yang Jing, “Lao Yang, Professor Wilson invited four great people today!”
The fat man said while manipulating his phone, pointing to an interface displayed on the phone, and said: “Know that guy in a white suit, William Thornton, his father is an independent director of BP, and he has a wealth of money!”
Yang Jing looked down, and sure enough, there was an introduction by this young man on Google. This William Thornton’s father is an independent director of BP, the largest company in the UK, and the Thornton family holds approximately 3.8% of BP’s shares, with BP’s market value of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars. In terms of calculation, the Thornton family’s equity value in BP alone is as high as nearly eight billion U.S. dollars.
Although this William Thornton is only a second-generation, he is also very valuable!
“Look at this again, tsk, Alex Bout, this one is more bull-nose! We just came out of someone’s castle a few days ago, do you know who this Alex Bout is?”
Yang Jing said in surprise, “Isn’t this guy a member of the Bute family?”
“Well, he is the grandson of the current Marquis of Bout, and it is very likely that he will become the next Marquis of Bout in the future.”
After listening to Guo Xiaoxiang’s words, Yang Jing couldn’t help but sucked his teeth. Regardless of value or status, William Thornton just now cannot be compared with this Alex Bout.
“Look at this, Francois Luton, the successor of the French Luton family, the hottest winemaker and winery owner today. The Luton family has the largest number of wineries and grape plantations in France, and it is well-deserved today. The wine overlord…”
The fat man told Yang Jing and continued to play with his phone. After a while, the fat man said in surprise: “Damn! The last one is the best!”
“Hey, this Spaniard is still the best! Guess who this guy is?”
Yang Jing shook his head and said, “You want me to say that I am a British person. I may be able to guess something. I know a Spanish person except for a Picasso and a Gasol brother who plays basketball. Neither Ronaldo nor Spaniard?”
The fat man was amused, pointing to his phone and said: “This Marta Ortega Pacere is the son of the former richest man in the world and the only heir of the Ortega family. His father is Amancio Ortega, 2016 The richest man in the world in 2010 is now the third richest man in the world! And this one is the only son of Amancio, the heir appointed by Amancio, and his net worth is now 24 billion U.S. dollars…”
The number also surprised Yang Jing. For an ordinary foreign student, the absolute value of a person with a net worth of 24 billion US dollars is only in the introduction of Baidu or Google. Now that he saw such a master with a net worth of more than 20 billion US dollars, Yang Jing was of course surprised. .
The fat man sighed helplessly and said: “Lao Yang, I am a little jealous of you. Professor Wilson has taught me for two years, and I have never seen him so enthusiastic about me.”
Yang Jing “pooh” the fat man said in a mouthful, “Professor Wilson is not good to you? Who would call you home almost every week to make you a good meal?”
The fat man scratched his scalp and sneered: “That’s because the professor’s children are not around him. Perhaps the professor feels that I am more loyal and honest, so he often calls me here for dinner.”
“I have a big leap! Are you loyal and honest? Then I am **** his father?”
The fat man bitterly gestured a **** to Yang Jing.
The two people are bickering, the auction in the hall outside has already had a result.
Both Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang thought that these three paintings would eventually be bought by Marta Ortega Perez. After all, this guy is Spanish like Picasso, and this guy has the richest net worth among the four. One of them, he should have won these three paintings because of his emotions and reason.
But the final result is that the youngest Alex Bout finally obtained the ownership of these three sketches for a price of 2.7 million pounds.
Now that the results have come out, Yang Jing, the original owner, must come forward, and some handover procedures are inseparable from Yang Jing.
The three who did not succeed in bidding left soon. For them, there is no need to stay if they did not buy the painting. In this villa, apart from Professor Wilson, whether it is Yang Jing or Guo Xiaoxiang, in their eyes there is no need to make friends.
“Congratulations, distinguished Mr. Bout, these three paintings will belong to the Bout family from now on.” Yang Jing enthusiastically shook hands with the young marquis heir.
“Call me Alex, we didn’t know each other before, but starting from today, we can become friends. Of course, I also want to thank you very much for providing such a good painting. Next week It’s my grandfather’s birthday. I’m worried about what gift to give, but you gave me such an opportunity. So Albert, I have to thank you.”
Talking, Alex Bout beckoned, and a bodyguard carrying a silver-white password box came over. Alex opened the password box, which contained a stack of brand-new banknotes.
“I know the rules of this kind of private bidding, so this time I bring all cash. This is 2.7 million pounds, but I can’t help you with tax avoidance.”
Although the pile of cash in front of them, Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang were so shocked that they almost couldn’t find the north, but Yang Jing still forcibly suppressed their inner excitement and the urge to roar up to the sky, and said with a slight trembling, “Alex , I’m really grateful for your thoughtful thinking. Using cash to trade can save me a lot of unnecessary trouble.”
Alex smiled and shrugged his shoulders and said, “No one wants to deal with the vampires in the tax bureau. As a friend, I can only do this for you as much as possible.”
Yang Jing smiled and nodded, took out the pen, and signed his name on the purchase agreement. At this point, the money and the goods were cleared.
The young Alex quickly left the villa with the three paintings, and Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang laughed excitedly.
Professor Wilson also smiled and said, “Should we celebrate?”
Yang Jing waved his hand and said very imposingly: “Professor, thank you very much for everything you have done for us. The celebration is of course. You choose the place and the cost is all mine. We must celebrate. .”
