The journey starts from the Titanic

"Well, Miss Chanel seems to know Mr. Picasso very well, I can introduce you to you. But you have to tell me, what is your name?" Situ Nan looked at the woman interestingly.

I heard her accent just now, it should be American.

"Kate? Vanderbilt. How about you?" The woman looked at Situ Nan with some pride.

"Is it from the Vanderbilt family?" Situ Nan was a little surprised and couldn't help but glanced at him again, there seemed to be a shadow of old Vanderbilt between his brows.

"Yes. But it's nothing." Kate nodded casually, her face returning to peace.

"It turned out to be the railway family. I didn't expect to see Miss Vanderbilt here." Stuart nodded with a smile, and took the initiative to introduce himself, "Stone? William, the William family from Los Angeles and Hollywood."

"So you are..." Kate's eyes lit up, clutching her chest, looking at Situ Nan with a look of surprise, young and handsome, black-haired and black-eyed, Los Angeles William family, suddenly reminded her of the long-heard name.

Once upon a time, she also heard old Vanderbilt complaining unconsciously that Pittsburgh Mellon started too quickly, otherwise the Vanderbilt family could marry a genius man.

"You, know me?" Stuart was a little puzzled, looking at the Hamilton watch on his wrist, and then realized, "I see. I had to thank Mr. Vanderbilt for selling me shares of Hamilton. He also Okay? I haven't seen him for a while."

"It's okay." Kate mentioned that old Vanderbilt's eyes were dark. Although the man gave himself a rich material life, he was emotionally weak since childhood.

The thoughtful Situ Nan did not continue to discuss the matter of the Vanderbilt family, and turned the topic to art.

Kate is an art lover. Unlike the opportunistic businessman like Situ Nan, she has good art appreciation skills, and of course she is also engaged in art collection business. This is a topic that the two of them can talk about.

"Mr. William fancy the painting, right?" Kate looked at Situ Nan with a smile.

"Yes. I heard that that guy is good, I plan to buy it back for collection." Situ Nan said frankly, there are still many Picasso treasures in the house.

"Can you give it to me? I like it very much?" Kate looked at Situ Nan pleadingly.

"Why?" Situ Nan was noncommittal.

"I like to have the opportunity to hold exhibitions in the future, to build an art gallery in New York, and to hold a large art exhibition every biennial. I like Picasso and other painters' works, and I hope their works will appear in my exhibitions. Art is dedicated to more people."

Kate raised her head and stared at Situ Nan. There were faint radio waves in his eyes, which made Situ Nan feel a little numb.

"No problem. I will buy it for you!" Situ Nan said readily.

I felt that Paris is so small, and the world is so small. I didn’t expect it to be difficult to come across this Vanderbilt family who seems to be a very famous woman. A few decades later, the world-famous Biennale Art Exhibition is the one in front of me. The woman started.

Chapter 18 French Oil Comes to the Door

The princesses of the Vanderbilt family are so beautiful, the kind that makes Situ Nan fascinated: moving appearance and rich artistic accomplishment are definitely the object of men's pursuit.

Situ Nan secretly commented on this Kate?Miss Vanderbilt, the other party was eloquently talking about not absolute artistic insights, and she was so eloquent. It is estimated that she can go to the university to take the course of Appreciation of Modern Art.

Being polite, Situ Nan listened with a smile, but thought about other things, such as stocks or investments in Europe.

Fortunately, the time didn't last, and it didn't take long for Laura to appear.But it is not Situ Nan who enjoys her enthusiasm, but Kate?Vanderbilt.

The two women used to know each other, and they knew each other very well. When they got together, it seemed that they couldn't finish talking. Situ Nan was left cold and happily poured coffee.

Not long after, Miss Chanel showed up holding a middle-aged man. It is said that that guy is Pablo?Ruiz?Picasso, with a pair of peachy eyes, looks like the kind that can provoke women.Well, all artists are more romantic, except for those unlucky ghosts who are great after death.

"Miss Chanel, I have a good suggestion. I have some connections in South China. I can provide you with ample fragrances. The fragrance technology there is well developed. If possible, I suggest you invest in a local perfume factory."

Situ Nan suggested that among a group of artists and art lovers, he is still used to discussing vulgar business.

"Really? I'll consider it." Chanel's eyes lit up and he was moved by Situ Nan's suggestion.

For her, art is important, but business interests her even more.However, she is a charming woman, and the topic of investment with Situ Nan will end, so as not to affect the atmosphere of her carefully ignorant art salon.

Apart from art, what else can a group of people talk about sitting together?Clothes, perfume, hairstyle... In Situ Nan's eyes, they are all very specious. There are more real goals in life than this small group of people's self-satisfaction.

In fact, the so-called fashion trends are very OUT in the eyes of Situ Nan. When others are pursuing fashion, he appreciates more classical taste, just like this woman with some classical charm in front of him.

Situ Nan opened the work by the street painter, and under the frown of Master Picasso, he admired it with gusto.The woman in the painting is very classic, classic, and a good wife and mother, but unfortunately now she is too enthusiastic about Situ Nan's "fashionable things".

"I'm sorry, I left you out." From the exhibition, Laura looked at Situ Nan apologetically, and then remembered that in the discussion just now, her husband seemed not interested.

"It's good to know! You have to make up for me tonight." Situ Nan smiled ambiguously, and poured Laura into his arms.

"I saw you and Kate have such a good chat just now, are you very familiar?" Situ Nan asked casually.

"Of course, we met very early. When we were in the United States, we often met. It was because everyone was young and carefree, and could do a lot of things presumptuously. Then I went to study in France, and it didn’t take long for her to learn from The United States is here. She is a good friend."

Laura sighed, thinking of the time of a girl, just like yesterday, now she is a mother, time is really rushing, and she has no emotion in her heart.

Situ Nan to Kate?Vanderbilt didn't know much, only that she was born in the railway family, but she didn't expect that her husband's family was not simple, it was the famous Whitney family.

The Whitney family is very powerful in the New York banking world and is a shareholder of several major banks.Old Rockefeller once said that Standard Oil is controlled by several families such as Rockefeller, Whitney, and Steelman, so Kate?Vanderbilt will also have the surname Whitney added to his name.

"It's really immutable for everyone to do with this stuff!" Situ Nan sighed inwardly.

In Laura’s words, Situ Nan knows that marriages formed by upper-class marriages are actually not good, at least emotionally weak, and generally maintain a respectful way of getting along with each other and don’t interfere with each other’s lives. You have your happiness. I have my wonderful, Kate?Vanderbilt?Whitney is an example of this. A person spends all day with art and fashion in Paris, France, and has a happy life.

On the way back, Laura told Situ Nan about the living conditions of many upper-class families, letting Situ Nan know a lot of secrets.

In contrast, there is no father and no mother, alone, Situ Nan, a newly-developed "Xiao Kai" in the west, has a much simpler background. There is no so-called nasty fighting in the big family. The life of the couple in Los Angeles is also similar to that of the east. Celebrity families are different.

"If I didn't meet you, I think I might be like Kate, I will be restrained wherever I go."

Laura smiled happily and felt that she was lucky. In the United States, no woman can do what she likes like she does, and Situ Nan doesn't mind her showing up.

"Do what you like to do! Our family doesn't have so many stinky rules. Don't you just feel comfortable if you are alive?" Situ Nan smiled and sniffed at Laura's blonde hair.

Laura saw the encouragement in his eyes and thought: The William Foundation can develop into charity art in the future.

"By the way, what did you think of the exhibition just now?" Laura asked again.

"Very good. Chanel's woman has a very strong mind. Combining fashion and art, Chanel and Picasso and others have achieved the results they want. This is a development model that is worth trying."

Situ Nan commented that he also concealed his appreciation for Chanel's woman.The same goes out to "sell", Chanel is good at packaging, sells more elegantly, and people are eager. This is the ability.

Then Situ Nan spoke again: "To be honest, I would rather go to the Louvre instead of watching this kind of exhibition. Or find the wandering painters on the streets of Paris."

"Well then! Let's go to the Louvre tomorrow!" Laura smiled, the blush on her face has not faded, just now the two had a hard time.

"I don't want it anymore. There will be business tomorrow." Situ Nan shook his head apologetically. The Louvre hasn't been to the Louvre, but I feel uncomfortable. Especially the large collection of precious cultural relics plundered from China. Situ Nan has it every time he reads it. With the urge to rob the Louvre, several times he was ready to let the Dao Master come over.

Thinking of the Taoist chief who was far away in Shanghai, Situ Nan was happy because one night, a group of people in black touched Puyi’s small villa in the Tianjin concession without knowing the distinguished guests, and stole more than 1,700 Puyi from the palace. The treasure is served in one pot.

Including Situ Nan's favorite Zhang Zeduan's "Surfing the River at Qingming Festival", which has now been shipped to Guangzhou for collection.Except for a few that were designated by Situ Nan to be shipped to Los Angeles, most of the treasures were kept in Guangzhou and kept secret.

"What are you thinking about?" Laura put her face on Situ Nan's face, and when Situ Nan was laughing, she asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I just think it would be nice to move the Louvre home." Situ Nan said with a smile.

"Okay!" Laura pinched Situ Nan's arm a little angrily, and only this husband who she had never fully understood would dare to make such a joke.
