Central Park is located in Manhattan, New York City, USA. It runs from 59th Street in the south to 110th Street in the north (about 2.5 miles from north to south). It is surrounded by the famous Fifth Avenue and Central Park West on the east and west sides. The park covers an area of
Approximately 843 acres, spanning 51 blocks long and 3 blocks wide, it is one of the largest man-made natural landscapes in the world.∑,
Surrounding this huge man-made landscape are the most famous commercial and financial centers and wealthy areas in New York City.
In particular, Donald Trump’s Trump Tower, which has been upgraded to Liu Dong’s father-in-law, is one of the best. However, Ivanka did not take Liu Dong to his father’s billionaire mansion on Fifth Avenue.
Instead, he came to an apartment he rented. The apartment was not big, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, about 150 square meters. Ivanka usually stayed here when she had a fashion show in New York.
"Do you usually live here alone?" Liu Dong asked after walking around the room after entering.
"Yeah, but I usually come back to live here when I have work in New York. I usually live in the school in Philadelphia!"
As Ivanka opened the refrigerator door, she turned around and asked, "Dong, what would you like to drink?"
"Whatever, anything is fine!"
"Then I got you a bottle of orange juice?"
"OK!"
Then Liu Dong took the orange juice from Ivanka's hand, and the two sat cuddled on the sofa.
"By the way, Ivanka! Your father doesn't object to our dating, right?"
"I don't object anymore, and he also asked me to ask you when I have time. He wants to invite you to our home!" Ivanka said with a smile.
"Being a guest?" Liu Dong asked in surprise.
"Why. Don't you want to go?"
"Of course I do. But I want to wait until the auction is over before going! It just so happens that we can enjoy the feeling of two people in the world these few days!" Liu Dong said.
After saying that, he couldn't help but stretched out his Lushan Claw, pressed it on Ivanka's extraordinarily plump right breast, and then gently rubbed it.
Because of the hot weather, Ivanka wore a pink short-sleeved T-shirt on her upper body in addition to her breasts. In addition, she had just had her first period and her body was very sensitive, so she was teased by Liu Dongyi. Likewise.
Got a feeling.
And because of cultural differences, Ivanka, an American girl, is much more proactive in dealing with emotions. So after being attacked on the chest, her beautiful face immediately became delicate and charming. She immediately raised her head and followed
Liu Dong kissed each other painfully.
Dry sticks stir up the fire!
Liu Dong, who had been ignorant of the smell of meat for nearly a month, took off the clothes on his body, then picked up Ivanka's soft and delicate body and walked into the bedroom next to him. He quickly made people blush with charisma.
**, and the sound of loud body collisions has been heard fiercely.
By the time the clouds closed and the rain stopped, more than an hour had passed!
On the first day after arriving in New York, Liu Dong and Ivanka spent time in bed.
The next day was October 3rd. This was already the second day of the Christie’s New York auction preview, so after breakfast, Liu Dong took Ivanka dressed up to the Hilton Hotel in downtown New York.
It is also the venue for the preview of the Christie's auction and the auction two days later.
Because Liu Dong had the invitation in his hand, he and Ivanka walked in easily.
However, Liu Dong, who came to New York for the first time, was not familiar with the place and did not know many friends in the United States. Therefore, although the preview hall was crowded with political and business celebrities, none of them was known to Liu Dong.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, his main purpose is these exquisite antiques placed behind the tempered glass.
So after entering, Liu Dong first led Ivanka to the display cabinet of the twelve animal heads from the Old Summer Palace that he most wanted to get!
But what surprised Liu Dong was that there were too many Chinese families watching here, and they obviously came here specifically for these two animal heads.
Of course, the large number of people did not prevent Liu Dong from seeing these two animal heads, but at the same time, he also realized that with so many people seeking after them, the price of the two bronze animal heads would probably exceed his original estimate, but Liu Dong
He is not worried. Although he spent about US$300 million to buy the farm in Vancouver, he still has US$230 million in cash in his pocket. This money is enough to buy the things he values at this auction.
Bought it!
"Dong, is this the Yuanmingyuan animal head you want to buy?" After waiting for a while, she slowly walked to the front and looked at the beautifully cast copper animal head in the glass window, Ivanka said in surprise.
"Yes!" Liu Dong nodded.
I looked at the reserve price on the sign next to it. The cheapest pig capital cost 1 million US dollars, and the tiger head was as high as 1.5 million!
As the twelve architectural components of the Old Summer Palace, their current prices are inseparable from the joint hype by antique dealers and auctioneers. Liu Dong hates this kind of hype that exploits the national pride of the Chinese people.
, but I have to admit that this method is indeed a tried and true method, even he has to hold his nose and jump in.
"They are so beautiful!"
Listening to Ivanka's exclamation, Liu Dong said in a low voice with complicated eyes: "Yes, she is indeed very beautiful!"
But beneath the beautiful surface lies the destruction of the Old Summer Palace, the failure of the Second Opium War, and the century-old humiliation of the Chinese nation!
Shaking his head, Liu Dong looked away with a somewhat complicated mood, pulled Ivanka towards the side, and gave up his seat to the family behind who wanted to admire the exhibits.
Perhaps the auctioneer had long expected that the two Yuanmingyuan animal heads would attract a large number of Chinese families, so there were still many Chinese works of art around, accounting for almost 40% of all exhibits!
Among them are exquisite works such as the "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Scroll" by the great painter Wu Zongyuan of the Tang Dynasty, the bronze animal face Fang Yi from the Shang Dynasty, and the Xuande blue and white pterosaur vat from the imperial kiln of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to about a thousand Chinese auction items, there are also some remaining auction items from countries such as ancient India and Egypt. The remaining items are mainly oil paintings, clocks, furniture, jewelry, etc. that are common in Western auctions.
It can be seen that Christie's has put a lot of effort into this auction. In addition to some classic works by modern artists, Vincent Van Gogh's "The Town Hall of Auvers" will undoubtedly be the highlight of the day.
As one of the three masters of Post-Impressionism, Van Gogh holds the world record for the highest auction of oil paintings today. Any one of Van Gogh's classic works is worth more than 10 million US dollars.
Faced with the fine oil paintings of this Impressionist master, Liu Dong is also interested in competing. So far, he has not even had a work by Van Gogh!
"Dong, look quickly, is that Mr. Roosevelt?"
Just when Liu Dong was admiring another famous oil painting "The Unveiling of Waterloo Bridge" by John Constable, the greatest British landscape painter in the 19th century, Ivanka suddenly reminded him.
Turning around, Liu Dong also saw Del. Roosevelt walking toward him with a smile in the distance. A hijacking made them friends forever.
So Liu Dong was very happy to see each other again.
"Mr. Roosevelt, nice to see you again!" Liu Dong took the initiative to greet him.
"Haha, Liu, you should have called me when you came to New York!"
Although Liu Dong was not used to Western etiquette when faced with Roosevelt's active embrace, he did not refuse as he was doing as the Romans do.
"Originally I wanted to call you, but I was afraid it would be too intrusive!"
"It doesn't matter, it's understandable! After all, an old man like me is not more attractive than the beautiful Miss Ivanka next to me!" Faced with Roosevelt's teasing, Ivanka blushed, but her right hand holding Liu Dong's arm did not.
release.
"Hello Mr. Roosevelt!"
Ivanka Trump, who received an elite education from an early age, is on the right path.
"Hello, I guess your father won't object to you being together, right?"
"Yes!"
After greeting Ivanka, Roosevelt looked at Liu Dong again and said: "Liu, have you finished reading the exhibits?"
"Not yet, but I have already seen the most valuable part, and I am not interested in most of the rest, so I am planning to take Ivanka out for lunch!" Liu Dong said.
"Haha, just in time, I have seen all the exhibits I like. Come with me. I'm treating you today!" Roosevelt said with a smile.
"How embarrassing is this? It's up to me!" Liu Dong's words contained the usual politeness of Chinese people.
"Okay, don't argue with me. In the words of you Chinese, this is called 'entering into the friendship of the landlords.' And this time I won't take you to a hotel outside. I will entertain you at my home."
!”
After hearing this, Liu Dong couldn't refuse anymore!
But to his surprise, after coming out of the exhibition hall, Del. Roosevelt did not take him outside. Instead, he took the hotel elevator and went directly to the top floor.
"If we leave here, shouldn't we go down? Are we...?"
Seeing the surprised look on Liu Dong's face, Roosevelt smiled and said, "You'll know in a minute!"
Soon, Liu Dong understood the meaning of Del. Roosevelt's words. When they walked out of the elevator on the top floor, they had already reached the top floor of the Hilton Hotel. However, it was not as empty as Liu Dong imagined, but a parking lot.
It was filled with more than a dozen helicopters! There were even armed helicopters among them, but they didn’t have weapons hanging on them.
"Liu, according to my understanding, your wealth is more than ten times more than that of an old man like me. Don't you have a helicopter to transport you?" Del. Roosevelt asked.
"No!" Liu Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He finally understood the gap in enjoyment of life between himself and these Western rich people. He had just bought a car, and others had already begun to use helicopters to travel!
