From Antiques to Digital Assets
How Can Ancient Chinese Art Connect with Wall Street Capital?
A Special Report from WSPodcast
By Dr. Jeannie Yi, New York
The world watches America. America watches New York.
What makes New York a global center is not simply wealth,
but the convergence of two powerful forces: Art and Capital.
The Wall Street Live Studio New York Special Forum,
held on May 29, 2026,
took place beside Rockefeller Center
one of the few places in the world where these two forces meet.
To the east lies Fifth Avenue, home to the world’s leading luxury brands. To the north stands Museum Mile, where institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim shape global artistic standards. To the south begins the financial corridor stretching from Midtown Manhattan to Wall Street, where global capital is priced, allocated, and mobilized.
Art creates value. Capital determines price.
Against this backdrop, the forum explored a larger question:
How can Ancient Chinese Art enter the international capital system and the mainstream global collecting community?
Five Perspectives, One Shared Conclusion
The participants represented finance, culture, film, business, and community leadership
reflecting New York’s diversity itself.
Gerard Mc Keon
Irish Heritage
Founder of Black Tie International and a longtime advocate
of historic preservation.
For Gerard, the true value of Ancient Chinese Art lies not in price, but in its ability to preserve the memory of a civilization.
“Great art is valuable because it carries history.”
Dr. Joseph Cirnigliaro
Italian Heritage
A veteran business operator who offered perhaps the forum’s most memorable observation:
“If you take all of your customers’ money, you destroy yourself as well.”
His message was simple: sustainable markets require shared success.
Long-term value depends on helping collectors,
clients, and institutions grow together.
Prof. Karl Bardosh
Hungarian Heritage
Professor Emeritus at NYU Tisch School of the Arts
and a pioneer of Cell Phone Cinema.
Karl believes every great object contains a story waiting to be told.
“Today, everyone carries a Disney studio in their pocket.”
To him, digital media may become one of the most powerful tools for sharing Chinese civilization with the world.
Michael Daly
Finance and Asset Management
Michael Daly focused on a question central to investors:
What assets will remain valuable in the future?
Real estate can be rebuilt.
Technology can be replaced.
Brands can be recreated.
But time cannot.
He described Ancient Chinese Art as a unique category of
Time-Based Assets
—objects that have survived centuries or even millennia.
Their greatest value is not simply cultural.
It is their scarcity.
Rev, Paul Sladkus
Community and Culture, ex-CBS executive
Paul emphasized that great cities are ultimately cultural cities.
Roads and buildings matter, but the lasting legacy of a society comes from its ideas, values, and cultural achievements.
The Bridge Between Civilization and Capital
The discussion naturally led to another question:
Who connects Chinese civilization with international markets?
Who connects Ancient Chinese Art with Wall Street capital?
Dr. Jeff Ye
emerged as a central figure in that conversation.
An internationally recognized collector, founder of Jeffrey Collection, and co-founder of the International Institute of Art Assets (IIAA),
Dr. Ye has spent more than thirty years studying and collecting ancient jade, Yuan blue-and-white porcelain, ancient glass, and other important categories of Chinese art.
As a Strategic Partner of Jincheng International Group, he provides museum-quality Chinese artworks to international markets.
Jincheng International Group, meanwhile, represents the market platform. With more than eighteen years of development, the Group has established a global network of collectors, high-net-worth clients,
and institutional partners.
Together, their collaboration represents the meeting of two forces:
One preserves civilization. The other expands its reach.
A New Era of Cultural Assets as Alternative investments
As the forum concluded, participants returned to a fundamental question:
How is civilization preserved?
History offers a clear answer.
Without communication, civilization fades.
Without markets, art sleeps.
Without capital, cultural heritage struggles to survive.
From the Medici family during the Renaissance to the Rockefeller family’s support of modern museums, every major cultural flourishing
has relied on capital.
The circulation of capital enables the circulation of art.
The circulation of art enables the transmission of civilization.
If Gerard saw civilization,
Karl saw stories,
Joseph saw business logic,
Paul saw social value,
then Michael Daly saw the future direction of capital.
Because capital ultimately seeks what is most scarce.
And few things are rarer than centuries
—or millennia—of accumulated time.
The true value of Ancient Chinese Art lies not only in its beauty,
but in what it carries:
Uniqueness
Irreplaceability
Historical continuity
Non-reproducibility
Time itself
Perhaps that is why New York remains such an extraordinary city.
On one afternoon beside Rockefeller Center, individuals from
Irish, Italian, Hungarian, American, and Chinese backgrounds
gathered around one table to discuss a common question:
How can humanity’s greatest cultural achievements be given a longer life?
Art creates value.
Capital amplifies value.
Communication extends value.
Time proves value.
When Ancient Chinese Art meets Wall Street Capital, the world may be witnessing the beginning of a new era of cultural assets boom.

The Inner Journey of Jeff Ye,

My life has been like a piece of glazed glass,
sent again and again into the fire.

the English and Chinese captions
At the beginning of 2026, a moment of particular significance quietly took place in New York, a city where art and finance converge.
After years of anticipation
The International Institute of Art Asset (IIAA)
was formally established.
Its importance reaches far beyond the founding of another institution. For the first time, a clear structural pathway emerged for Eastern art to enter the Western world—not merely as cultural display, but as a system grounded in valuation, legitimacy, and sustainable commercial return. What had long existed as aspiration was now becoming reality.
Throughout human history, the forms of wealth have continuously transformed: from gold and silver, to land, to financial instruments, to luxury goods. Yet among all these, only collecting truly connects us to the roots of civilization itself.
Collecting is often misunderstood as a gesture of wealth or status. In truth, it is an act of remembrance. Through porcelain, jade, and bronze, we glimpse the lives, values, and spirits of our ancestors. Each artifact is not merely an object, but a living fragment of time.
Sitting across from me during this interview was Jeff Ye, one of the five co-founders of the International Institute of Art Asset and the director responsible for its antique and museum collections.
In his hands, he held a remarkable imperial
“Dragon Plate,”
inscribed with the phrase
“Mandated by Heaven.”
The object was overwhelming in its presence.
This was not possession in the ordinary sense. It was guardianship.
Jeff Ye owns thousands of such treasures. His collecting journey has taken him across China, from academic research to remote regions, from established markets to newly discovered sites. Whenever news surfaced of an unearthed artifact, he would go—without hesitation.
What he collects is not defined by money, but by responsibility.
Responsibility to history.
Responsibility to civilization.
This is where collecting transcends wealth
and becomes a form of cultural stewardship.
The glazed glass of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods is breathtaking in both color and form.
Perfectly round, crowned with a dragon, it carries a blessing: auspiciousness, peace, and harmony.It is, in essence, China’s gift to the world.
And it is also the spiritual origin of the Art Asset Institute—
the mission of the descendants of the dragon:
to protect, transmit, and honor civilization.
For Jeff Ye, collecting has never been defined by money.
It is defined by whether one is willing to bear responsibility for civilization itself.
When the Rockefeller family and the Rockefeller Foundation traveled repeatedly to China, they were certainly not seeking oil deals or architectural investments. They were searching for treasures like those now resting on Jeff Ye’s table—fragments of history that allow future generations to see, with their own eyes,
stories that began thousands of years ago.
If collecting carries a certain aristocratic spirit,
then this spirit takes many forms.
In Jeff Ye’s “aesthetic style of collecting,”
I saw not luxury, but guardianship.
A guardian who has spent more than thirty years
preserving cultural memory.
While managing real estate development projects, he carved out rare time to enter China’s once chaotic antique markets, patiently watching them evolve into systems of order. Again and again, he searched—sometimes close to home, sometimes across great distances
—for artifacts that carried the breath of history.
At first, like many collectors, his questions were simple:
“Is it beautiful?”
“Is it valuable?”
But gradually, his questions became deeper:
Where did it come from?
Does it align with historical logic?
Can it withstand scientific scrutiny?
He once asked me quietly,
“Can its materials, craftsmanship, patina, oxidation, perforations, and color transformation endure both scientific testing
and experiential judgment?”
I had no answer.
Though my own family had passed down certain “treasures” through generations, they lay untouched in cabinets
—unpriced, unrecognized, untradeable.
Jeff Ye, trained in chemistry, understood that intuition alone was not enough.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, he developed a rigorous system:
a twenty-criteria methodology for jade authentication that moves from instinct to science—
now known as the “Ye Standard.”
He said:
“Forgery in antiques is actually a false concept.
Only time leaves irreversible marks.
To claim something can be perfectly forged
is to claim time itself can be reversed.
Anyone with basic logic knows this is impossible.”
In Jeff Ye’s system, the first judgment is never data—it is breath.
Not reports, but whether the object possesses a soul.
He believes in eye connection.
He believes in touch.
He believes in the intelligence stored within the body
through years of experience.
For him, collecting is not ownership—it is encounter.
A meeting between human and artifact, guided by fate.
Much like love itself: different in form, universal in essence.
That love pushed him to unite aesthetics, history, chemistry, microscopic observation, and instrument testing.
To synchronize intuition with science.
In his world, collecting becomes a true “cultural science”—
and an inheritance of love.
Not merely feeling,
but a civilization authentication system.
From instinct and romance,
to verification and responsibility.
Like glazed glass itself,
his life has been shaped by fire—
again and again refined,
until clarity became light.

I ASKED MY OWN GRANDCHILDREN WHO ARE OUT OF TOWN WITH COLLEGE AND SCHOOL ACTIVITIES WHAT KIND OF IMPACT DO THEY WANT TO MAKE IN THE WORLD.
JULIA SAID Being sixteen years old limits my perception of what I think I am capable of. Adults are typically the ones to make significant changes, and kids are the inheritors of their designs. I don’t want to build a new system, though; I want to fix the underlying fractures present in our current ones. Through small acts of kindness enacted by every individual, the world would ultimately become a better place. Even so, it goes beyond just kindness and rather calls for a rebirth of humanity. I want to play a small role in simply being a good human: helping others when they are at their lowest point, understanding perspectives, and connecting. We, as a collective, share the human experience; it should be all of our duties to preserve it.
JASON SAID I want to leave the world a better place than I found it, something I believe is everyone’s individual responsibility. Instead of just consuming, I want to produce and contribute to society. Overall, I want to be a net giver. I want to be there and help those most in need and those at their lowest points. And I want to make society more prosperous by building products that improve society
PAUL THANK YOU MIA, JULIA, HUDSON AND JASON.

Produced by Good News Corporation (GNC), a nonprofit humanitarian broadcaster founded in 2002, in collaboration with the Office of the New York City Comptroller Mark Levine, OMMM, and the Founders of Earth Day, this landmark event continues a decades-long tradition of inspiring environmental action through music, unity, and global participation.
Founder Reverend Paul Sladkus, All Faiths and Spiritual, who has led International Day of Peace and Earth Day concerts for over 20 years, shared: “We have been honored to work with icons like Jane Goodall and Pete Seeger. Today, we celebrate that same mission—peace, love, and hope—carried forward by future generations and millions worldwide. This is a historic nonprofit broadcast at a time when the world needs unity more than ever.”
This year’s program includes special tributes to Dr. Jane Goodall (accepted by the Jane Goodall Institute) and Pete Seeger (accepted by NYC Friends of Clearwater), as well as emerging youth voices representing the future, including Hudson Henley, son of Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman, in the movie Song Sung Blue.
