Debut After Eight Years - Chapter 598
After all, Li Guangwen left from Yangyin with regret.
I randomly ate some meals specially prepared for Wang Qian by the Yangyin Canteen, although it was carefully cooked by top chefs.
However, Li Guangwen’s food was tasteless, and his mind was full of that painting.
After eating, Li Guangwen went into Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong’s bedroom and watched for a few minutes before leaving with a face full of reluctance, but he didn’t speak again.
At this point, Li Guangwen will not force it any more, just wait to see if there will be better opportunities in the future.
but.
At this moment, he has made up his mind that he must put Wang Qian’s works in the museum in this life.
After walking out of the campus of Yangyin, Li Guangwen took out his mobile phone and called He Mei, Liu Shengnan’s agent: “Xiao He, what is Shengnan thinking about? Or should we meet and talk? I am very sincere, and I can make the decision, and I will definitely give it to the market. The highest price, in this regard, we will not be stingy and will not let you suffer.”
In recent years, Huaxia has given higher quotas for the purchase of national treasures living abroad.
Therefore, Li Guangwen has a large amount of funds to use.
After being clearly rejected by Wang Qian, Li Guangwen wanted to win Liu Shengnan’s Xia Ke Xing as much as possible. As long as Xia Xing Xing entered the National Museum, it would bring Wang Qian a lot of benefits. At that time, Wang Qian might be moved. Take the initiative to donate that picture of Wanglu Mountain Waterfall to the country!
On the other end of the phone, He Mei was in the living room of a small villa, where Liu Shengnan was writing something, obviously creating something.
He Mei did not dare to disturb Liu Shengnan, and whispered to Li Guangwen: “Director Li, Shengnan has been busy writing new songs these days, very busy. Moreover, because she knows that you want to take away the Xia Kexing, she does not want to see you. Shengnan I like this character very much, it was given to her by Professor Wang, and she decided to cherish it for a lifetime.”
“So, Director Li, don’t embarrass me, or just let it go. Or, you can look for other works by Professor Wang? As far as I know, the works presented by Professor Wang include: Several copies.”
Li Guangwen was silent for a while, then shook his head gently. How can other works be compared with the map of Xia Ke Xing and Wanglu Mountain Waterfall?
Even Wang Qian’s Wang Yue at the Juilliard School in North America with the attitude of a champion, in Li Guangwen’s opinion, is slightly inferior to the Xia Ke Xing, qualified to enter the first side hall, but not qualified to enter the main hall. .
Sighing lightly, Li Guangwen felt helpless and said softly, “Okay, Xiao He. Tell Katsuo that if she changes her mind, feel free to contact me.”
He Mei smiled and said: “Okay, thank you Director Li for your understanding. Our Katsuo family is a bit willful. If something makes you unhappy, please bear with me and forgive me.”
Li Guangwen is a senior boss in the Beijing circle, and He Mei does not dare to offend him. He is afraid that Liu Shengnan’s refusal to meet him will make him bear grudge. If he mobilizes people in the Beijing circle to create a little trouble for Liu Shengnan in the entertainment circle, he may not treat Liu Shengnan. It’s a big deal, but it can’t be annoying.
Li Guangwen: “It’s okay, this kind of thing is voluntary, I won’t force it, that’s it.”
After speaking, Li Guangwen hung up the phone and was about to walk to the parking lot not far away to drive away. A man and a woman walked by, both foreigners. The man was older and the woman was young. There is an artist’s breath, as well as some of Li Guangwen’s own temperament.
That is the temperament that has been cultivated through years of contact with antiques and artefacts.
The man stepped forward and smiled at Li Guangwen: “Director Li, do you still remember me? Reid, from New York. I met you twice, once at an auction in New York ten years ago, and once in six years. Formerly at the Beijing Museum! Thank you very much for entertaining me at the museum last time.”
The person here is Reid, who speaks not very fluent Chinese. Although he is not fluent, there is no problem in normal communication.
Li Guangwen’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered who Reid is in front of him. He is one of the world’s famous antique collectors. He has devoted himself to recovering many national treasures and cultural relics scattered overseas. Businessmen have had contacts.
Reid is one of the largest antique dealers in New York. He has naturally been in contact with him, and he also intends to befriend Reid.
Therefore, when Reid came to the capital a few years ago, Li Guangwen personally entertained him, walked around the National Museum, and acted as a commentator himself.
However, in the past ten years, Li Guangwen has contacted almost all the internationally renowned collectors and antique dealers, as well as auction houses, etc. Reid is only one of them, so he did not recognize it at once.
As for Aisha next to him, Li Guangwen was also seeing him for the first time.
Li Guangwen and Reid shook hands warmly and said with a smile, “Mr. Reid came to the capital this time, why didn’t he let you know in advance? I’ll pick you up and treat you well.”
Reid smiled: “I know that you are very busy, Director Li, so I didn’t bother you. I think you just came out of Yangyin, are you visiting Professor Wang Qian? See the picture of the legendary Wanglu Mountain Waterfall, right? ?”
Elsa next to her was also full of anticipation and desire.
After watching and studying Liu Shengnan’s collection of Xia Ke Xing up close, Aisha and Red once again deeply felt the beauty of Chinese literature and art, so they are also very eager for the more perfect and powerful Wanglu Mountain Waterfall that suddenly came out on the Internet. , quickly came to the capital to see it.
However, Reid knew that he had no way to see Wang Qian, nor could he see Wang Qian.
So, just wait here for an acquaintance!
It is Li Guangwen.
Seeing Li Guangwen coming out, he immediately came over to say hello.
Li Guangwen looked at Reid in surprise: “Mr. Reid is also here for Professor Wang’s painting? Your news is very well-informed. Professor Wang’s painting was completed yesterday, and no more than ten people have seen it. , you know?”
Reid said with a smile: “Director Li, now is the Internet age, as long as someone spreads news, it can be spread all over the world immediately. What’s more, I am in China. How is it? Director Li saw Professor Wang’s painting. Is it? How much money do you think I should have if I want to buy that painting?”
Li Guangwen frowned, stared closely at Reid, and shook his head: “No amount of money can buy it, they won’t sell it. Moreover, it is a priceless treasure that cannot be measured by money.”
Reid’s eyes flashed, his hands were clenched together, his heart was very excited, and he hurriedly asked again: “Oh? Can’t be measured by money? Even if it is a national treasure, can you buy it? I remember, you were a few years ago. The Chinese painting you took in New York was placed in the first side room of the National Museum, and you spent a full 20 million US dollars!”
“Could it be that Professor Wang’s painting is more valuable than the painting you bought?”
Li Guangwen shook his head slightly as he walked.
Reid was surprised: “Director Li is a little disappointed? Are you disappointed with Professor Wang’s work?”
Didn’t Li Guangwen just say that it is a priceless treasure? Why are you so disappointed?
Li Guangwen glanced at Reid and said softly: “I mean, the 20 million dollar painting is far worse than Professor Wang’s work! It’s not a grade! If you insist on using a number to measure Professor Wang’s painting If I paint, then I am willing to exchange fifty million dollars for it.”
After a pause, Li Guangwen emphasized: “This is the biggest amount I can mobilize this year!”
Red and Elsa looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other’s eyes!
Fifty million dollars?
Even the most expensive European Renaissance paintings sold for around $200 million!
A painting that Wang Qian painted just yesterday could sell for $50 million today?
As an antique dealer and collector.
Both Red and Elsa are accustomed to using monetary numbers to measure the value of a work of art, which is the most intuitive.
Reid said softly: “Director Li, do you think it is possible for Professor Wang to give some paintings to others and appear on the market in the future?”
Li Guangwen looked at Reid and asked, “Are you coming to the capital this time to acquire Professor Wang’s works?”
Red admitted frankly: “Yes, since I saw Professor Wang’s work, I have always wanted to collect one as a treasure in my collection room. For this reason, no matter how much money I spend, it is so-called…”
Elsa also said softly: “I want to buy a pair too!”
Li Guangwen stood in front of his car. The driver had already opened the door. He didn’t get in the car immediately. He looked at the two and said, “If there is a chance, I would also like to buy it. However, I am not a person, but a museum.”
Seeing that Li Guangwen was leaving, Reid hurriedly said, “Clerk Li, next time, if you have a chance to see Professor Wang’s painting, can you take me with you? I want to see it for myself and open my eyes.”
Li Guangwen smiled. He has always had goodwill towards foreigners who admire Chinese culture, and said softly, “Yes. However, I don’t think you need me to take you with me. This opportunity is probably coming soon. Pay more attention to Professor Wang’s news. I’m leaving first, goodbye, you two.”
With a wave of his hand, Li Guangwen sat in the back row of the car. The driver closed the door, walked into the cab, and was about to leave.
Reid and Aisha waved to Li Guangwen and watched Li Guangwen leave.
Reid said softly: “I think we can’t hesitate. Although the price of that person is relatively high, we can still accept it. If Professor Wang’s painting really comes out, then all his living in the folk The price of the works will skyrocket again.”
“Based on Director Li’s level and attitude just now, it is enough to show that Professor Wang’s painting absolutely amazes the whole of China, and may have surpassed several famous painters in China’s history in terms of art and skills. ”
“Then, Professor Wang’s works will have a lot of room for appreciation in the long run in the future.”
The two contacted the owner of the works that Wang Qian had given away on the Internet yesterday. After contacting them, the other party saw that they were foreigners and asked for a sky-high price of 30 million.
A word, and an unrepresentative calligraphy font, asks for 30 million, an absolute sky-high price.
Even the works of famous calligraphers hundreds of years ago are not worth 30 million.
At this price, the works are basically the works of ancient celebrities and calligraphy masters. If it is their masterpiece, the price will skyrocket several times, and it is not surprising that it is hundreds of millions.
And Wang Qian is just a random work that was given to fans by lottery on the Internet, but the price is 30 million, which is outrageous!
Maybe that’s why the work hasn’t sold yet.
The local tyrants of Reid and Elsa hesitated and did not agree.
If it is a unique work, like the Xia Ke Xing, there is only one piece of Xia Ke Xing thin gold calligraphy work in the world, then they can accept the price.
However, this is not the only one, nor is it representative.
Even if Wang Qian’s achievements go all the way up in the future, he will become a unique great artist in the world.
The price of such an ordinary and unrepresentative calligraphy work may also rise to such a figure, but it will definitely be decades later.
but!
After the conversation with Li Guangwen just now.
Reid and Aisha both believed that it was a viable business to win the authentic calligraphy work of Wang Qian for 30 million yuan.
After this period of time, Wang Qian succeeded in proving the master of music in the Central Sound, then lectured in famous schools such as Shuimu Jing University, exhibited the painting publicly, or published some works that shocked Huaxia, then Wang Qian’s status will continue to be straight. rise.
Correspondingly, the value of Wang Qian’s stray works will also skyrocket.
At that time, the price of 30 million yuan for a single word of Wang Qian will be acceptable.
However, sellers are not fools. Now that online consultation is so developed, of course they will also see Wang Qian’s performance in Yangyin, Shuimu and Beijing University. If they are shocked enough, they will also raise prices!
so……
Now seems like the best time to win?
After I figured it out.
Reid immediately took out the phone, contacted his assistant, and asked the assistant to contact the seller.
The price of 30 million, trade now!
but……
Ten minutes later, the assistant’s phone called: “Sir, they have raised the price again!”
hiss!
Red and Elsa felt the urge to hit someone.
If it is the previous work, or someone else’s work, they will definitely turn around and leave, and will never pay attention to such an insatiable seller.
But……
That’s Wang Qian’s work.
It is also a very rare opportunity for them to get Wang Qian’s works!
If they miss it, they don’t know when they will get Wang Qian’s work next time.
Wang Qian’s representative works, such as Xia Ke Xing, Wang Yue, and the Wanglu Mountain Waterfall that has not been released to the world, they know that they may never get it.
So, let the price go up.
If I can get a copy of Wang Qian’s original work, let’s talk about it.
Even if he was taken advantage of, he could be regarded as having learned a lesson, as if he had bought a collection for himself.
After being silent for two seconds, after suppressing his anger, Reid said in a deep voice, “How much has it risen!”
The assistant said quickly: “Thirty-five million!”
Reid didn’t want to talk nonsense at all, and said directly: “You go to them to trade, I will not come forward. After I get the things, I will send them to the capital immediately.”
Assistant: “Okay, sir, I’ll go now!”
hang up the phone.
Reid is still full of dissatisfaction, 35 million to buy a piece of work that has just been released for half a year, this is the craziest investment he has made in decades.
However, thinking that after thinking about it for so long, after chasing it for so long, and finally getting a pair of Wang Qian’s works, a smile appeared on Reid’s face.
Aisha sighed, her eyes turned to the Yangyin campus.
She has bigger ambitions!
She is younger than Reid~www.mtlnovel.com~ She wants to get a representative work of Wang Qian.
There is no chance to obtain those rare masterpieces now, which does not mean that they will not be available in the future.
Wang Qian is still young, and there will definitely be many more works to come out in the future, she will wait for the opportunity…
The only thing that gave her a headache was.
I don’t know how much the price of Wang Qian’s works will rise in the future.
Because, she knew, the news that Reid spent 35 million to buy that piece of work can’t be concealed, and it will soon spread throughout China and the world’s collection circles.
And this means that Wang Qian’s works have truly reached such a level.
When someone buys it, it shows its value and someone recognizes it.
Then, if someone sells other works of Wang Qian in the future, they will definitely bid at this price!
An insignificant work can be sold for a sky-high price of 35 million!
What about the representative work?
Elsa felt that she might have to have a good talk with her father, and prepare a large amount of money in advance, ready for use.
number!
Let’s start with $200 million.
This is the price for a representative painting of the European Renaissance that was auctioned last year.
