"Boss, how did you promise to paint Bezin?"

After getting out of the Pei Jinming Architects and getting into the car, Dani looked at John with a sad look. A design drawing requires a promise from the Morgans, which is too cost-effective, and she thinks it is not cost-effective, very cost-effective.

"Pei Jinming is good friends with my two mentors, and it is also appropriate to take care of him for my mentors. ”

Americans are not as affectionate as their mentors in China, they don't have the idea of being a teacher for one day and a father for life, but John lived in China in his previous life, and he has long been imprinted with this kind of thinking in his bones, some people may say that he is feudal, but he thinks that sometimes there is nothing wrong with being feudal, and he may even forget about himself in the end if he is too open. Freedom, Dreams...... These things can be pursued, but the responsibilities and obligations ...... It also needs to be undertaken.

John hates the kind of people who are desperate for themselves, and in his previous life he saw a movie called "Survival in the Wilderness", which tells the story of an idealist who wanders in the wilderness because he is disgusted with society, in search of the so-called pure land and the true meaning of life, and finally dies in Alaska.

There are many such people in history, but the final result ends in tragedy, naturally the most just law enforcer, is an outlier will be eliminated, and people who give up real life will also be given up by life, the ending of these people is not worthy of pity, John prefers the kind of people who have the courage to resist no matter what adversity they are in, this is the most brilliant chapter in the brief history of mankind, such people are qualified to be born like summer flowers, undefeated, and demonic like fire.

After returning to Morgan Manor, John locked himself in the studio, which is a 100-square-meter room, with plenty of light, wide space, and good sound insulation, which is very suitable for creating in it, unlike other studios, John's studio is not stained with colorful walls and floors, and there are no good works around it, his studio is quiet, empty, and clean, in addition to a shelf for materials, there is only an easel not far from the window, and a table for paint brushes.

Painting has always been a lonely thing, and John likes to be lonely and like to stand in front of an easel to communicate with himself, which makes him feel very quiet, as if he is the only one in the world.

After communicating for more than an hour, thinking about what to paint, John picked up the paint board, put the paint he needed on the board and carefully mixed it, and when the paint was mixed into the color he wanted, he put the paint board on the table next to him, picked up a stamp and printed it on the canvas that had been coated with the base.

John likes to stamp his private seal on the canvas before painting every time, and then cover it with paint, the advantage of this is that the signature will not destroy the overall effect of the painting, and if you want to see the signature, you need to use some high-tech to view, which is very private, and will not expose the author of the painting at a glance, and can also play an anti-counterfeiting role.

After stamping, John picked up a pencil and a ruler and sketched on the canvas, and after sketching, he used tape to isolate it, and finally picked up the paint board, and used a small brush to apply the paint little by little on the periphery of the tape, and when the periphery of the canvas was evenly coated with a white base, he finally put down the small brush in his hand and picked up another paint from scratch.

John painted the whole painting for more than two hours, and after the creation part was over, the rest of the time was waiting, waiting for the paint to dry, which usually takes several weeks.

After the paint dried, John applied a thin layer of anti-cracking oil to the painting, and finally called Dani to the studio.

"Frame the painting and send it to Bei Jinming. John picked up the cloth on the table and wiped his hands.

"Okay. ”

Dani nodded, and walked over to the easel to watch. This is an abstract painting, painting two black twisted triangles, one large and one small, the large triangle is inserted from top to bottom like icicles, and the small one grows up like a hill, the two triangles are pointed at each other but do not touch each other, with a grain of rice in between, as if the sky is falling, and a person is ready to resist it with open hands, which is very powerful.

"Boss, don't you all draw hot abstraction, why do you change to cold abstraction?" Dani pointed to the painting, this was the first time she had seen John draw cold abstraction, and she was curious.

"What's all the fuss about, you boss and I can also draw ink paintings. ”

"How's the drawing?"

John asked casually.

Not everyone can understand abstract painting, and those who understand it are willing to ask for it, and if you put Van Gogh or Picasso's paintings in front of him, he will think that what he paints is not as good as his own kindergarten son. And Barnett Newman, a random line on the canvas will sell for $100 million, the world is crazy.

"It's not bad, but I'm a little reluctant to give it to Bei Jinming. Dani looked at John resentfully, and she still hadn't let go of this matter in her heart, and she always felt that she had suffered a loss.

"If you don't give it to Bei Jinming, this painting will also be burned. John said a fact, no matter how good or bad his paintings are, this is basically the end, he just wants to have a dialogue with himself, and he doesn't want to let others appreciate it, so after painting and communicating, he will naturally destroy it, and besides, he doesn't need to sell paintings for a living, whether others approve it or not doesn't mean anything to him.

"By the way, go to a guy named Simon Gjein, who just had an exhibition at the Batterchy Exhibition Centre in London, and I love his sculptures, and you asked him to help me carve a horse, a big horse, the size of a real horse. John gestured with his hand.

"Horses?

Boss, what do you want a horse for?" Dani couldn't keep up with John's thinking.

"I'm going to put it in front of the IBM store in New York. Isn't there a cow on Wall Street, and Fifth Avenue will come with a horse, it's a good match!"

"Uh....... ”

"Okay. Dani Jue couldn't refute it, she felt that John's thinking was a little different from ordinary people? What does it mean that you put a horse on Fifth Avenue? When a horse succeeds, it will be rich immediately?

And she thinks that John seems to be particularly fond of large animal statues, the year before last Modica secretly put his copper bull on Wall Street in the middle of the night, and the next day the police asked him to pull it away, but after John saw this in the news, he personally called the mayor of New York City and asked him to continue to put the copper bull there, otherwise the cow would not know where to go.

IBM Labs said that the software was ready and ready to be used. Dani didn't want to delve into the matter of cattle and horses, and she felt that the idea of an artist was difficult for ordinary people like her to understand, so she pulled the topic to business, which is her forte.

"Oh, so fast!"

John originally thought that the banking system would take at least half a year to develop, but he didn't expect that IBM Labs would take only three months to complete it.

In fact, the great C language was only made up by Dennis Ritchie for a few days at work, so there is really no technical problem in handing over a banking system to these people, it just takes some time.

"Then we have a family meeting, and the time has come to decide the future fate of Morgan Bank. ”

John threw the rag on the table, turned and walked out, he was going to find old Morgan, and the old Morgan had to decide to hold a family meeting, and he didn't have the right to do so.

"What......

You want to hold a family meeting for Morgan Bank?" said Morgan Sr., sitting behind his desk and looking at John.

"Yes. It's best to be able to even come with peripheral members. ”

Family meetings are usually attended by only core members, but John wanted to call in with the peripheral members this time, and the Morgan Bank is the ancestral business of the Morgan family, and all members of the family should participate.

"You look confident. Old Morgan thought it would be nice to get the old men, but he didn't expect John to call everybody.

"No confidence. ”

"Ahem...... I don't have the confidence that you're calling so many people?"

"I don't think the future of JPMorgan should be decided by the older generation alone, and the younger generation should have a voice. ”

"That's good, as long as you're not afraid of blows, as you wish. ”

Morgan Sr. finally granted John's wish.
