"Hey, Solva. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Lin, are you nervous? Maybe 800,000. Maybe 1 million, and you're about to become one of the most expensive young oil painters of our time. "Solva's eyebrows are fluttering, for them, this is both part of the interest and part of the influence, Sotheby's and Christie's are two old enemies, fighting each other around the world, anything that can show influence and advantage, is something they are happy to do. This time, in particular, there has been a significant increase in the number of collectors registered from China. According to Sotheby's, a significant number of these Chinese collectors were interested in Lin Haven's paintings.

"After getting the money, what are you going to do to treat yourself?"

Lin Haven looked at the Frenchman, and he seemed to have plans to introduce Lin Haven to how to be a rich man - well, a rich man with hundreds of thousands of euros.

"Solva, standing in front of you is a man who has a house in the capital of Huaguo!" Lin Haiwen raised his chin.

Salva was a little stunned: "I also have a house in Paris. ”

"Tsk, according to the housing prices in the capital, about half of the land in the capital can buy the whole of France. Lin Haven glanced disdainfully at Solva, who supposedly had a house in Paris. The price of housing in Paris is actually not low, the price of 1 or 20,000 euros is equivalent to about 100,000 yuan. However, unlike the capital, which often has dozens of floors, there are not many high-rise buildings here, so in fact, the price of a piece of land of the same size is often many times worse.

So strictly speaking, when it comes to a single house, Paris is actually a little more valuable. However, for a rookie like Solva who has never been to China, of course, Lin Haven can say whatever he wants.

"God, can all of you afford it?" Solva was surprised for a while, and then seemed to have figured it out himself: "That's right, your people are just scary when Lafayette robbed LV and Chanel." ”

"......" Lin Haven nodded solemnly: "Generally, we buy a few sets and put them away, decorate them in different styles, and then change them once a month to increase the freshness in life." ”

"It's so different from what I've known before," Salva seems to have been inspired: "It seems that the attitude of the Chinese people to life has changed a lot, and I used to read in the newspapers that you only like luxury goods and gold, and you have very low requirements for ordinary life, unlike the French." It seems that Sotheby's needs to re-examine our strategy for the development of China. ”

"Well, yes, that's right. Any installation art, any cutting-edge style, any ultra-ultra-modernism, you can take it to China, and we will definitely cheer for you, Solva. ”

I'll kill you, stinky foreigner.

When Solva thinks about it, he also feels that he is excited, and it is really exciting to have a mature art market with more than a billion people and huge wealth.

"Solva, wake up, it's time for us to go to the scene, right?"

"Oh, yes. Solva was much more enthusiastic: "Here, follow me, there are a lot of works by contemporary artists today, if you like it, you can buy some, it may also increase in value." ”

"I might as well paint two more. ”

"—yes. ”

There weren't many painters who showed up on the scene, not to mention Chang Shuo and Haigel, and Artur wasn't there. If it weren't for the first time for Lin Haven to see such a large-scale auction, he wouldn't have come. He sat down in the back of the seat, attracting little attention.

Solva went back to work.

"Meyer. ”

"Got Lin?"

"Yes, we had a good chat. I got a message that the Chinese market seems to have changed. ”

"Huh?" Meyer, the head of Sotheby's France, looked at him very strangely: "Huaguo market? That's a matter in Greater China, what has changed?"

"There seems to be a big shift in the demands of life and they are willing to pay for a better quality of life. I think the strategy of focusing on Chinese art and a handful of masters should be changed, and those in Greater China should introduce some of the European and even American avant-garde art there, and that would definitely be an opportunity to get ahead of Christie's. ”

Meyer, as a senior person in charge, knows more things than Solva, and the Chinese market may have changed a little, but the collecting habits of those rich people have not changed visibly with the naked eye, and they still like masters, still like Chinese art, and still play with the idea of investment.

"Solva, where did you hear that? Chang Shuo? I remember that apart from Chang Shuo, you don't have any Chinese friends. ”

"Lin, Lin just told me. Solva told Meyer all about the conversation.

Meyer couldn't laugh: "If you pay a little attention to the news in Huaguo, you know that people there need to spend almost a lifetime to repay bank loans for a house." As for Rin, he probably does own a lot of real estate because he runs a very successful entertainment company, and he's a big boss and he's rich. Well, I have some materials on my desk, you can take a look. ”

Solva hasn't had time to see the introductory materials of these artists. Because this contemporary artist exhibition is personally responsible for Meyer, he is just helping Lin Haven because of Chang Shuo's relationship.

On the materials, it is estimated that Lin Haven should have a net worth of at least 50 million euros.

When Solva saw Lin Haven again, there was more resentment in his eyes.

Lin Haiwen, who was waiting for the start at the scene, was also recognized by several Chinese collectors and came to talk.

"Mr. Lin, your paintings are now more monks and less meaty. Look, can you just use today's auction price to transfer two to us after returning to China?" The speaker was a businessman in the real estate and financial investment industry in China, who also has a net worth of more than 100 million.

"I'll sell this one this year. ”

"Oh, if you don't make a move, you won't have a chance this year? ”

"Haha, you say that, if it is taken as my trust, then I can't bear you. ”

"If you need to, just ask. ”

Unlike some domestic collectors who have been pitted very badly, the value-added potential of Lin Haiwen's paintings is one of the best among Chinese painters. If he still wants to control the quantity of paintings, it will be even more valuable for investment and collection -- why are those painters in their seventies and eighties the most sought after, not because as soon as they go to see God, the number of works will immediately decrease but not increase? Lin Haven's youth is an important reason that affects the price of his works, but if he can control this quantity, the natural market will react.

After a few words, the auction began, and everyone made an appointment to return to China and talk about it, so I will go back to you.

Chang Shuo's "Running Woman", a portrait of Hongguoguo, sold for 4.3 million euros, which is far from his peak, but in terms of his general works, it has improved significantly. Haigel's "Tilt" sold for 5.6 million euros. Artur's "Nightmare" touched the line of 900,000 yuan, while Adrian's "Madonna of Cologne" in the United States sold for nearly 3.5 million euros, setting a record price for his work.

Haven Lin's Gaia, just behind Adrian, with a number of collections behind him, is the finale of the sale is a blockbuster portrait of the late British painter Francis Bacon, with a starting price of 60 million euros.

The starting price of "Gaia" is 300,000.

As soon as the auctioneer banged on the auction, someone raised his sign.

"600,000!"

Doubled!

Lin Haven looked over in surprise, and then even more surprised, Horner at the bottom of the Seine? )
