"If you want, I'll pay 200,000 for all three paintings. ”

This sentence fell like a thunderbolt.

Li Zijin was completely dumbfounded, he almost thought that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help asking: "You said that you offered 200,000 yuan for these three paintings?"

Actually, from this expression of the other party.

Li Mowen knew that the price he opened was already quite high.

"Yes, think about it!" he said jokingly with a smile in his eyes, "Ordinary people should not be able to afford this price, but I have a lot of confidence in you." ”

"I think if you're going to sell your paintings, it's going to be a bit of a difficult time. ”

"Even if it's me supporting your artistic career!"

"By the way, maybe I can meet some guests who know how to appreciate in the future, and I can also introduce you to you!"

Li Zijin inhaled heavily, his heart fluctuated, and he felt that he had finally met a nobleman.

He originally thought that it would be very good to sell for fifty or sixty thousand, but he didn't expect the other party to offer a price that he couldn't even think of.

He remembered the gallery owner's sneering words again.

"Li Zijin, you are a fake painting seller, you know that your life is over?"

"You'll never get ahead, your paintings are just a little more beautiful on waste paper, and I don't even dare to tell people that it's your work. ”

"You ask me for fifteen thousand?"

"Which onion are you?"

At this moment, he had an indescribable complicated mood, and even struggled in his heart.

Now I finally met a person who knows how to appreciate himself and supports him so much, and it is false to say that he is unhappy.

It's so rare to meet a friend who knows how to appreciate your work and is willing to pay a high price when you're so down.

Li Zijin knew that he nodded now, maybe 200,000 would be in hand.

He struggles inwardly because he doesn't want to deceive the other party, especially someone who appreciates his work.

As the saying goes, a thousand gold is easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find.

His paintings weren't worth the price at all, and the other party didn't know that he had just come out of prison.

Inner entanglement is like rolling up twisted flowers.

He had two choices, either simply be cheeky, nod his head and take the money and leave.

Either tell the other party the truth, so that you can sell it with peace of mind, and the most afraid is that once you say it, the 200,000 may be gone.

He took a sip of his teacup with great difficulty, his heart uneasy, and his eyes wandered around......

Finally, I saw the customers who bought safe paper cranes at the door of the store.

The laughter of children rang out in my head at this moment.

The daughter happily picked up the paper crane and ran to him and said, "This is from the master, he said that when I fall asleep, this will become a flying crane, and then carry my father home!"

Li Zijin gritted his teeth stubbornly, never thinking that this moment was so difficult.

Two hundred thousand, he really wants.

And I'm afraid that if I miss this opportunity, no one else will make this price again.

He swallowed a mouthful of water, and finally made a realistic choice, which was to respond: "Okay!

He tried to find all sorts of reasons to convince himself.

It's nothing.

Art is such a thing, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

If someone else can offer this price, it means that his painting is worth this price, but he has hidden the fact that he has been in prison.

And didn't the other party say that there is his own famous work in this.

Since the fortune teller is so confident, he is not a liar, and he may really become famous in the end, and the other party is purely a bargain.

In this way, the two parties reached a consensus and prepared for the transaction.

Li Mowen was very simply ready to transfer money, and he opened his mouth and smiled: "You can just leave the painting." ”

"Remember to persevere, this road is not something that ordinary people can walk, but you can!"

"You have great talent and potential. ”

He said in a half-joking tone: "If someone questions you and your family doesn't support it, you can say that I said it." ”

"If you live nearby, it should work!"

This sentence just came out.

Finally completely broke the last line of defense in his heart.

Suddenly, Li Zijin laughed self-deprecatingly, stood up and said, "Forget it, I still won't sell it." ”

Li Mowen froze suddenly, and asked in amazement: "Why?"

Li Zijin felt that his conscience was condemned, and the other party had been encouraging and supporting him, and even offered such a high price.

And he deliberately concealed the truth, for the sake of this money.

He took a deep breath, shook his head very decadently, and shook his head with dull eyes: "Master, you may really be blind this time, I will never become a painter recognized and valued by everyone in my life." ”

"Because I just got out of prison, I have a criminal record, I have a criminal record. ”

At this point, he was depressed, and even his voice was a little choked.

His eyes were slightly reddened and he shook his head and said, "My life is over, do you know that I'm finished?"

His voice grew louder and louder, as if he were shouting.

Scream out all the sadness and unwillingness.

But life is like this, and it never makes people happy.

"I don't want to lie to you, you're a good person. ”

"I have deceived many people, they used my paintings to be sold as paintings of famous teachers, and they defrauded others of millions. ”

"I don't want to go down this path again. ”

"I just want to live an ordinary life now and be an ordinary person. ”

Li Zijin looked at the person in front of him who had been encouraging him from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to earn a penny more from the other party, so he said: "If you really like it, 60,000 yuan, I will sell you 60,000 yuan for three paintings." ”

"If you don't dislike it. ”

He felt that he was short of money, but he couldn't keep his conscience alone.

If he received the 200,000 yuan today, he would have a feeling of being a thief, like deceiving others.

Li Mowen's mouth opened slightly and was stunned for a moment.

Then he laughed.

Suddenly I remembered the little girl's information signs, the father who was released from prison early, it seems that all this is fate.

He took a sip of tea and looked at each other with a smile.

This is a bit interesting, the other party can actually earn his own 200,000 without saying anything.

But in the end, he couldn't help but speak, no wonder he said why he kept hesitating, after all, his bid was already very high.

Li Mowen pushed the frame of his glasses and smiled: "It turned out to be you, okay, I want 60,000 yuan." ”

As soon as the words fell.

One second.

Two seconds.

At that moment, Li Zijin froze, and he looked at the other party in disbelief.

He thought he had confessed.

Yes...... Excluded?

But I didn't expect this fortune teller to look at him with a smile and agree very simply.

How is this possible?

Before the other party could react.

Li Mowen poured himself another cup of tea, and he smiled: "Do you know?"

"There are a lot of customers who come to my door every day, and I have helped many people. ”

But not everybody knows how to be grateful, and some people don't even understand or don't want to hear bad news. ”

"Thankfully, you're not that kind of person. ”

He looked up at the painter, who was in his early thirties but still unappreciated, and then smiled: "I don't think I think it ...... the same as you."

Li Mowen predicted with a confident smile: "Your life has only begun now. ”
