206 Huge influence

In this sense, we at Jingyuan Gallery have invested a lot in the European art scene over the years, and it is not easy to do this. Lu Jinguang gave assurance, "If it is planned by our Jingyuan Gallery, I can guarantee that Mr. Xiao will make a name for himself in the European art world." ”

"Even if Jingyuan Gallery has some influence in Europe, it should be limited, right? Mr. Lu may not know that I order at least 1,000 paintings and sculptures and other works of art from major French galleries every year, which has lasted for decades, and when it comes to the relationship with the European art world, Jingyuan Gallery and my personal influence should be a little worse. ”

What Xiao Yao wanted to hear from Lu Jinguang was dry goods, and he was not interested in his arrogant words.

Lu Jinguang was slightly stunned, but his psychological quality was very good, and he quickly regained his calm.

He never expected that he would hear such news from Xiao Yao's mouth. With more than 1,000 works of art ordered from major French galleries every year, how much investment does that have to be?

Even if you are a world-class rich, I am afraid that you do not have such a big penance.

He suddenly thought that Xiao Yaoren ordered more than 1,000 works of art from France every year in China, didn't his own country and other countries order them?

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly showed a look of shock, and he asked, "I don't know what the relationship between Mr. Xiao and Swire Art Company is?"

"Swire Art Company is my business, and if I'm not mistaken, I think there are about 200 artworks ordered from your Jingyuan Gallery every year. Xiao Yao said lightly.

Lu Jinguang suddenly stood up and said extremely enthusiastically: "I really don't know Mount Tai today, for so many years, thanks to Mr. Xiao taking care of my business, I didn't meet Mr. Xiao until today, it's really rude." ”

Lu Jinguang was too enthusiastic, and the handshake was very strong, Xiao Yao withdrew his hand without a trace, and said: "It's also fate, I am also a member of the art world now, and I will ask Mr. Lu to take care of me in the future." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's me who said the axe, which made Mr. Xiao laugh. After knowing Xiao Yao's identity, Lu Jinguang's posture was very low, "It should be said that Mr. Xiao took care of me, the influence of Swire Art Company in the art world is all over the country and internationally, Mr. Xiao said hello, the world critics must be gathered, our Jingyuan Gallery still has a little influence in China, and it is not worth mentioning abroad." ”

Lu Jinguang didn't expect Xiao Yao to have such a terrifying identity, if he had known this, he wouldn't have come to offer ugliness at all.

However, today is also a mistake, and it is really not in vain to be able to meet this figure with huge potential influence in the world art world.

Swire Art Company is unknown to the outside world, but for major galleries, it is like thunder.

Swire Fine Arts orders a staggering number of artworks from major art institutions around the world every year, and has been for at least a few decades.

After all these years, Swire Artworks' potential influence in the art world is terrifying, and only industry insiders know this.

The power of capital is everywhere, and even art cannot escape the influence of capital.

In 2000, the public turnover of contemporary art in the world was $103 million, and Swire Artworks' annual investment was $130 million.

In 2014, according to statistics, the turnover of contemporary art in the world was 1.04 billion US dollars, and Swire Art Company's investment in this year was crazy, in order to spend all the funds in its hands as soon as possible, Panwu invested a huge amount of 400 million US dollars in this area.

The potential artworks of the world's major galleries have been largely bought out by Swire Artworks.

Swire Artworks' terrible influence in the art world is evident from this.

Today, I was fortunate to see the big boss behind the scenes hidden behind Swire Art Company, and for Xiao Yao, a young man, Lu Jinguang was more in awe in his heart.

Lu Jinguang spent so many words, it was nothing more than wanting to sign the agency contract of Xiao Yao, a new painter with unlimited future prospects, in Jingyuan Gallery, and now that he knew Xiao Yao's identity, he naturally did not dare to have this kind of thought anymore.

If Xiao Yao wants to publicize and promote his work, and say hello to various galleries, everyone has to sell his face and actively cooperate.

If the Jingyuan Gallery were to operate this matter, the galleries that had a conflict of interest with him might have mobilized their own forces to obstruct it, and things would not have been smooth sailing.

If Xiao Yao were to operate this matter himself, all art institutions would have to sell his face, and what kind of results would be produced by the one-sided praise?

After revealing his identity, Xiao Yao's attitude became more friendly, "If Mr. Lu comes to do my plan, I don't know what you will do?"

Knowing Xiao Yao's true identity, Lu Jinguang no longer dared to have the idea of signing Xiao Yao, for Xiao Yao's seemingly casual question, Lu Jinguang answered very carefully, and after thinking for a while, he said: "If I were to plan, I would definitely mobilize the relationship to promote Mr. Xiao's popularity, contact those close artists, critics and collectors, and jointly praise the artistry of the two works in the exhibition." When it was exhibited in Paris, it was promoted in the same way, but the intensity was definitely not as great as in China. ”

"What's next?" Xiao Yao was concerned about the follow-up operation, and he wanted to know what a promotion expert like Lu Jinguang would do?

"The next step is to mobilize relationships with major museums, and the higher the visibility of the museum, the better, and strive for Mr. Xiao's works to be selected for the museum. As long as this step is completed, we can claim that Mr. Xiao's paintings on the market are museum-level works, and the grade will be upgraded all of a sudden. As for which museum can be selected, it can only be operated as much as possible, and if it can be selected for the Palace Museum, it will be perfect. ”

Lu Jinguang has little confidence that Xiao Yao's works will be selected for the Palace Museum, but I think it is still very possible for them to be selected as a provincial museum.

After listening to Lu Jinguang's planning, Xiao Yao really felt that he had gained a lot.

He asked these questions, not for himself, but for Cheng Yu.

He has full confidence in his work, and he is not in a hurry to become famous and start a family, it doesn't matter to him whether fame comes sooner or later, just let it be.

But Cheng Yu is different from him.

Cheng Yu is very talented in painting and full of aura, Xiao Yao can see that she still attaches great importance to the reputation of her works.

Since Cheng Yu is willing to go on this road all the time, Xiao Yao naturally wants to help her.
