648: Can it not be embarrassing?
Chapter 648: Can You Not Be Embarrassed?
After listening to Zhou You's analysis, Cheng Lao smiled and nodded.
Zhou You said: "The shape specifications and tone of this piano are very in line with the ancient style. Even if it is a folk tradition, it is not comparable to those famous pianos in modern times. Cheng Lao's acquisition was not wrong, and it is estimated that Xiaoxiao is also a leak. ”
Cheng Lao replied proudly: "Thank you for the compliment." ”
In fact, the tour was finalized from the very beginning. Cheng Lao is not an ordinary person, unless those are extremely secretive and difficult to distinguish high imitations, it is difficult for ordinary fake antiques to deceive his eyes. Since Cheng Lao has acquired it, he is still so confident that he will take it out for his appreciation, so he naturally has a certain degree of certainty. With this reasoning, it is naturally easy to know a little information.
Zhou You congratulated: "Congratulations to the old Yongjian Museum for having another antique boutique." It is believed that the appearance of this object can raise the reputation of Yongjian Museum to a small level. ”
Cheng Lao replied: "This is just a small achievement, compared with Mr. Zhou's magical opportunity, it is really nothing." ”
Zhou You knew that his experience was jealous of everyone in the circle, even if he was old, so he could only laugh and pass by.
But things are over here, and Zhou You has to leave.
I'm going to visit Mr. Bai when I'm traveling.
After saying goodbye to the old man, Zhou You quickly drove to the Jin Cheng pawn shop. He made an appointment with Mr. Bai to communicate with several famous artists in Shenzhen, and hoped to invite them to participate in the Mingyuan Modern Folk Art Exchange Conference.
"Haha, you're finally here. ”
Teacher Bai is also like Cheng Lao, very respectfully waiting outside the door to travel around.
However, Mr. Bai's lineup is more exaggerated, not to mention the two bodyguards, and there are six characters who don't know each other but don't look simple.
"It's sundry outside, get inside!"
Teacher Bai didn't introduce Zhou You, and took the lead in pulling Zhou You into the pawn shop.
When he came to the open VIP room, Mr. Bai introduced straight to the point: "Xiaoyou, let me introduce you, this is the owner of the famous oil gallery in Shenzhen, and he has gathered more than a dozen well-known domestic oil painters, and his energy cannot be underestimated. ”
Traveling around and greeting the owner of the Golden Pavilion.
The owner of this golden pavilion is dressed very formally, but it is not very coercive, and at first glance it looks a bit like an English butler. However, Zhou You didn't dare to underestimate the owner of the Golden Pavilion at all. The people who were able to successfully open a gallery in Shencheng and invite more than a dozen well-known domestic oil painters to settle in the city are definitely not under the old age.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Bai introduced: "This is the most famous bamboo carving master in Guangdong. Mr. Mi's bamboo carving works have not only been on CCTV, but also have a considerable reputation in the world, and even Japanese artists are amazed. ”
Teacher Mi was humble again and again.
Travel around is also given full respect. This teacher Mi is not old, at most fifty years old. But Teacher Bai, who has a transcendent identity, is so respectful, so he is naturally not a cheap person.
Teacher Bai continued: "There is also this old guy with the surname Nalan, he is a veritable brick family, a real master of art bricks. Don't look at his eyes a little narrow, in fact he is the sharpest of us, and his achievements are ridiculously high, with his own art brick museum. ”
Teacher Nalan's eyes were really narrow, but Zhou You could feel the sharpness hidden underneath, as if his secret was hidden.
"It's really a brick family!"
Zhou You sighed deeply and looked at the next three.
Mr. Bai immediately introduced the remaining folk artists to Zhou You. Although the remaining three are not as prominent as the previous three, they are also master-level figures in a certain field, and they are all people worthy of admiration.
At the end of the introduction, Mr. Bai finally wanted to introduce Zhou You to everyone. But Teacher Nalan seemed to be a little interesting, and hurriedly said, "Teacher Bai, we all know Mr. Zhou without your introduction." He is not only a quasi-grandmaster-level figure in the gambling stone world, but also a business genius with a net worth of tens of billions, which is well known throughout the country. ”
The owners of the Golden Pavilion nodded one after another, and their eyes were a little adoring when they looked at Zhou You.
Teacher Nalan then asked directly: "Mr. Zhou, I don't know if you advocated this Mingyuan Modern Folk Art Exchange Conference, or are you just one of the supporters?"
Zhou You replied: "I'm just doing my part. ”
Mr. Nalan was more direct and said: "Although we are not as well-known as Mr. Zhou, we also have our own fixed network, and there is no problem in sales, and we don't attach much importance to the hidden interests behind this exchange meeting." ”
Zhou You nodded and replied: "Yes, all we can give is fame and fortune. Since you are not short of profits, then you know the name. I believe that you have all read the report of the Mingyuan Museum, know the prestige of our Mingyuan Museum, and the modern artworks that we have adopted into it are all master-level works, and they are not ordinary masters can enter, once they enter, it means that they will be affirmed by us, and will be appreciated and evaluated by tourists and artists from all over the world, and finally reach the point of success. ”
After a pause, Zhou You added another condition: "Also, our relationship with major domestic museums is not bad." If your work is shortlisted, but you don't like our museum, we can also pass it on our behalf and see if we can enter other museums. ”
When Curator Jin heard this, they all showed contradictory expressions.
It's not like they've accepted other invitations of the same type, but many of them have been inhabited by them. They now have fixed networks, sales channels, and business models, and it is really difficult for them to temporarily abandon these and pursue those immeasurable fame and fortune. However, all the lobbying was true, and the conditions put forward were very tempting, which made them fall into contradiction for a while.
Zhou You didn't think that they would reply as soon as possible, and waited slowly.
Teacher Nalan, who was the strangest behaving just now, said, "Please Mr. Zhou give us a few days to think about it, and we will give you an accurate reply at that time." ”
"It should. ”
There is really no rush to travel.
Although they are all very energetic characters, it is not that they cannot turn without them. At most, it will be a little harder to travel around, and if you run a few more cities, the ending will be even better.
Mr. Mi, who was the most calm, took the lead in replying: "Mr. Zhou and the reputation of the Mingyuan Museum are outside, I am very confident in you, and I will bring the works I have the most contact with to participate." ”
Mr. Mi not only has his own industry, but also his own artwork. He didn't have to hesitate like Pavilion Director Jin, the deal Zhou You proposed was very good for him, at least it was beneficial and harmless, even if it failed, it was just a waste of time, it was no big deal.
"Thank you very much for your support. ”
It's a good thing to have support, at least not in vain.
With Mr. Mi's beginning, the previous three artists also expressed their support. However, they are not as powerful as Mr. Mi, either that they will send representatives to the past, or that they will support a little artwork, and they don't seem so positive.
Zhou You didn't pay attention to it.
Teacher Bai took the opportunity to say, "Xiaoyou, our preparations are also appropriate. If we find a good target for cooperation, we will definitely try our best to invite them. Of course, if we fancy good goods, I hope you can raise your noble hand and let the old man a little. ”
"Definitely. ”
Zhou You knew that Teacher Bai was saying kind words, so he naturally smiled.
Teacher Bai then talked about Mr. Zheng: "Xiaoyou, I know that you will go to Hong Kong Island tomorrow to invite Mr. Zheng, but Lao Zheng's current body is not suitable for running around, I hope you can take it easy." ”
Zhou You sighed and said: "If Zheng Lao can buy a villa in Mingyuan like Shi Lao, and run here for a vacation if he has nothing to do, I don't know how happy he is." ”
Teacher Bai smiled bitterly: "Beijing is different from Hong Kong Island. The living environment in the capital is not very good, at least not very suitable for the elderly to enjoy their old age, and Shi Lao's business has long been handed over to his children and grandchildren, and the important energy is put in the stone carving association, so it is natural to change the court. ”
Zhou You said: "I'm not so ambitious, I just think that the environment on Hong Kong Island is not suitable for the elderly, and there is no need for Zheng Lao to continue to fight on the front line for the cause of his children and grandchildren, so life is too tiring." ”
Teacher Bai said: "The pace of life in the metropolis is fast-paced, and it is reasonable that the air environment is not very optimistic. But it can't be generalized. In short, everyone has their own ideas, so don't force it. ”
There's no need to continue thinking about it.
In fact, it is a complete waste to invite Mr. Zheng to participate in the Mingyuan Modern Folk Art Exchange Conference. After all, Mr. Zheng has already achieved fame and is a grandmaster-level figure in the jade world, and it doesn't matter whether he participates in the Mingyuan Modern Folk Art Exchange Conference or not, his reputation is all on display. The reason why I had to invite him in person was because of Director An's strong request, and the need for a world-class master to support the scene for the Mingyuan Modern Folk Art Exchange.
As for the reason why Zhou had to go to Hong Kong Island, that is, Amamiya Qinyue wanted to see him, saying that there was something important to report to him in person;
"It's almost time. ”
Zhou You looked at the time and immediately invited: "Teacher Bai, and all the artists, I don't know if I can enjoy my face and get together at the Aegean Club." ”
"Go!"
Teacher Bai should be very simple, he had promised a long time ago.
Curator Jin nodded, and Teacher Nalan thought for a while and nodded. As for Mr. Mi, they will not refuse the "reasonable" invitation to travel around.
Curator Jin suddenly took out a gold card and said, "Mr. Zhou, the Aegean Club is not something that ordinary people can book a place for. If you need help, this card can be borrowed from you. ”
"No, I have a diamond card. ”
Zhou You didn't think much of it, and replied lightly.
But it was just such a sentence that made Director Jin and Teacher Nalan speechless in shock.
In Shencheng, you must not only have money, but also have identity, and there are many nouveau riche who are rich but have no identity, and before that, they instinctively thought that Rao was rich and famous in the jade world, and for Shencheng, he was just a foreign nouveau riche.
But now it seems that people are the real high-end, whether it is cultivation or bearing, they are not comparable.
They are more like nouveau riche than they are travelling.
Can they not be embarrassed.
