Chapter 251: Wooing and Destroying?
I don't know if he was stimulated by the number of 50,000, or the Carlsberg auction house attracted Zhang Ruiming's attention, what he thought of for a while was not to be happy for his father, but to faintly feel that something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't think of anything wrong, vaguely, Zhang Ruiming suddenly thought that he seemed to have seen this name in Fang Xiaoruan's recent news, and a fine and dense layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and his hand kept moving, and he quickly checked it with his mobile phone, and sure enough, in the past few pages of news, he saw the news of this Carlsberg auction house。
This news is about Fang Xiaoruan spending a lot of money to buy several art exhibits some time ago: "Voice of the Times in Jingang City, July 22 -- The "Carlsberg Huayou Chinese and Western Art Dialogue Exhibition" opened in Tianjin and Hong Kong today. Picasso's "Bullfight", Qi Baishi's "Sixteen Openings of Zichou Landscape Book" and Zhang Daqian's "Rui Xue" were unveiled at the same time, and the masterpieces of the three Chinese and Western masters attracted many viewers.
The exhibition brings together nearly 30 pieces of Chinese and Western art, including oil paintings, modern and contemporary paintings and calligraphy, bronze gilt Buddha statues, stone carved Buddha statues and porcelain. The exhibition will last until the 25th and is open to the public free of charge.
In this exhibition, the famous director Fang Xiaoruan has acquired a number of top works of art through Carlsberg auctions, including Wu Guanzhong's "Water Town", Ai Xuan's "Dusk" and "Wolf Valley", "Woo" by Chen Ye, a local painter from Tianjin and Hong Kong, and "The Capital of the South" by Xiaogang, a local painter from Tianjin and Hong Kong, and other important painters' representative works......"
Looking at this, Zhang Ruiming's heart is not good, and in connection with the current situation, he is more and more sure that this auction house inexplicably invited his father to do something.
"Dad...... I think I have a case at hand recently, and this one is quite involved, and it involves some very powerful companies...... I'm worried that the same thing as the 500,000 last time will happen again, you see, this painting has to be auctioned today?"
Hearing that his son suddenly let himself give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Zhang Qingcang's voice changed, he waited for so many years to finally wait for such an opportunity, and really had the opportunity to push out his works and enter the circle of Chinese painting everyone. He is really unwilling to give up this opportunity, how can he terminate his career because of his son's groundless assumptions.
“…… This is my first time on the auction stage, you also know that I have this hobby, after so many years, I finally have a knowledgeable Bole to come over, you actually want me to give up? Ruiming, I didn't say you, you, have you always looked down on your father's level? Do you think your father is not qualified to go to the booth to make a good reputation? Let me tell you, the manager of our gallery said last time that my painting style is excellent, and several visitors value my paintings at a glance, and I have to go this time. You, it's not that I'm talking about you, don't think that being a prosecutor is what happened, after so many years, who in our family comes to worship you for the New Year? When I was in the procuratorate before, I didn't have a head like you, I had unrealistic fantasies, I really thought I was a wrist? Everyone wants to frame you every day?"
Hearing the stubbornness in his father's tone, Zhang Ruiming hurriedly said: "No, Dad, the opponent I provoked this time is really not an ordinary person, let me tell you the truth, I have been with Wang Baoyi recently, hasn't he been scolding that Fang Xiaoruan and Feng Binbin recently? I saw that your entrusted auction house this time is the auction company that Fang Xiaoruan often comes and goes, so I'm worried, you think about it, these people's energy is heavenly, and it is likely that this time it will be another game." ”
"Wang Baoyi, which Wang Baoyi, Feng Binbin, Fang Xiaoruan?"
"It's the Zhongshi Wang Baoyi that we used to watch in the past, the host of the "Truth" program!"
"How is that possible...... Why did people get involved with you?? You're not kidding me, are you?"
"Really, Dad, I'm not good at explaining to you on the phone, so let's do it, I'll talk to you in person next time, you listen to me first, and try not to go this time......"
Hearing what his son said, Zhang Qingcang hesitated a little, "You're a bit too much, but it's just the same auction company...... Moreover, my paintings have been shipped, and the exhibit brochures, announcements, and posters have come out, and tonight is the auction, and now I can't stop if I want to. ”
"That ......" Zhang Ruiming heard this, knowing that it was already more difficult to stop now, he thought for a moment, suddenly stood up, and began to clean up the things on the table while holding the phone.
"Dad, where are you now? I'll come over right now, and I'll go with you at this auction in the evening." ”
…………
A dark brown 13 Cayenne in the colorful night lights, straight into the top five-star hotel in Jingang City - Yunman Yujingnan, the car parked to the tall hotel front door arch stopped, immediately a waiter stepped forward to open the door, Zhang Qingcang whole collar, he is wearing quite formal today, in order to match his "big artist" identity today, deliberately wore a unique stand-up collar Tang suit, he is already quite familiar with this atmosphere, after getting off the car look around, elegant expression, quite temperamental.
And Zhang Ruiming, who came down behind him, was a little discouraged, he rushed directly from the city inspection today, and he didn't have time to change into civilian clothes, wearing a navy blue prosecutor's uniform to this magnificent top hotel, in order to abide by discipline, Zhang Ruiming could only take off the jacket of the uniform on the car, and the tie was also taken off first, he was wearing a shirt inside, and his hand was in his trouser pocket and he was about to break inside, but he was stopped by a hand stretched out by his father.
Facing his father's slightly disdainful eyes, Zhang Ruiming looked at the well-dressed celebrities and ladies around him, and then looked at his slightly embarrassing dress, and immediately understood what his father meant, but he didn't come to attend the event today to show his identity, he came to escort him for fear of his father's trap, and now he was in the column of his father, and couldn't help but be anxious, "Dad, I didn't bring civilian clothes, so I went in like this, right?"
Zhang Qingcang didn't look at him, but turned his head to the driver in the car and said.
"Xiao Liu, change your suit for Ruiming to wear. ”
"Okay, boss. ”
After speaking, Zhang Qingcang's driver handed over a suit, Zhang Ruiming looked at it, took it without saying anything, and put it on his body, which just fit, and the color of the pants in the prosecutor's uniform was a little conflicting, but fortunately, it didn't seem so abrupt now, Zhang Ruiming took the lead of his father and walked into this graceful and luxurious international hotel.
The auction was held in the grand banquet hall on the left side of the first floor, today happened to be the first one, the celebrities from all walks of life of the exhibition were basically here, walking into the exhibition hall with flashing spotlights, Zhang Ruiming saw that the people who came and went were high-end people, many of whom were familiar faces who had seen it on the news and TV.
Zhang Ruiming didn't like to go out to play since he was a child, when Zhang Qingcang made his career, it was also a busy period when he had just graduated from college, and he never liked to go out and go out with his father on various occasions, and he was arrogant and noble as a prosecutor, so in this kind of occasion, he seemed a little unaccustomed.
But after a long time, he also slowly relaxed, watching his father talk with friends from all walks of life with ease, he was careful to accompany the smile, from time to time politely, hello, as if the New Year with visiting children.
"Oh!
Just when Zhang Ruiming was cautiously smiling, a middle-aged man with gold wire glasses and his hair combed back to his head walked over.
"Manager Park, hello!"
The man who was called Manager Park by Zhang Qingcang looked to be about fifty years old, and as soon as he came, he patted Zhang Qingcang's shoulder cordially, and looked at the handsome young man behind Zhang Ruiming.
"Who is this......?"
"This is ......" Before Zhang Qingcang could speak, Zhang Ruiming introduced himself: "My name is Zhang Jun, this is my uncle, I am his nephew, and I came with my uncle to see it today." ”
"Oh, oh, it's ...... to say"
Manager Pu glanced at Zhang Ruiming a few times, then turned his attention to Zhang Qingcang, and enthusiastically introduced the situation of today's visitors to him, "You came too late, just now several domestic collectors are commenting on your paintings! They all say that your "Southern Return" is a rare work of the Tianjin School in the past few years! The scene blends! They all say that among so many of everyone's works tonight, they can be called "top grade", and they are still asking you about your previous "Eight Views of Tianjin and Hong Kong" How many are still outside, they are willing to collect them together, the price is easy to say, go to the auction, go to the private salon!"
This may be the passage that Zhang Qingcang wants to hear the most during this time, and he suddenly said with a smile on his face: "Oh! They really said that? If it is true! Mr. Park, then you are really my nobleman, to be honest, this kind of recognition is more important than my business and projects, I am so happy." ”
Manager Park grinned and said with a smile: "Of course it's true! Just now, there is a famous person in China who has taken a fancy to your painting, this is really amazing, it is the biggest wrist on our scene today, I will wait for the opportunity to introduce you to you?"
"Okay, okay, I don't know which master it is?"
"This can be regarded as an internationally renowned director, have you heard of Fang Xiaoruan!? People come to our Tianjin and Hong Kong, usually with Zhang Shengjie's kind of characters to form a game, and he likes calligraphy and painting, today's auction can be said to be set up for him! Look, Mr. Zhang, Director Fang Da will come over soon, I'll go over and introduce it to you!"
After speaking, Manager Park left Zhang Qingcang's father and son and walked towards a group of people not far away.
Hearing the name Fang Xiaoruan, Zhang Ruiming's forehead jumped, he raised his head and looked around carefully, this name has been heard more than 100 times in his time, mainly from Wang Baoyi, of course, Wang Baoyi mentioned him one by one, and more scolded the internationally renowned director - "scum".
And now, this "scum" is standing more than ten meters away from him, surrounded by stars and moons, and is slowly walking towards his side.
Zhang Ruiming didn't expect that after the recent incident involved, he would be able to meet Fang Xiaoruan's real person so soon, which made him feel uneasy.
But he adjusted his mind, in the face of such a strong opponent, the most important thing is not to think about how many chips he has, but not to be frightened, bravely go to the table, pick up the cards, only have a chance to win.
As soon as Manager Park walked away, Zhang Qingcang leaned in front of Zhang Ruiming and asked in a low voice, "Why did you lie to him just now that it was my nephew? Are you still worried that this auction will be aimed at you?"
"Well, Dad, this anti-people heart is indispensable, I also just in case, I hope this Fang Xiaoruan has not seen my photo, and he doesn't pay attention to me as a person, but if he wants to take the opportunity to make a game for our family today, I hide my identity and take a look with you, it's better no." ”
Zhang Qingcang still felt that Zhang Ruiming was making a big fuss, he looked around, and saw that the scale of this auction was very large, and the exhibits alone were displayed in several sub-halls, and the people who chatted and appreciated in the middle were all big people with heads and faces, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "You, you, have you handled a few big cases, and you are too confident?" Look at today's meeting, if such a big battle is all to design a bureau for you, to be honest, then my face as a father also has face! Yes, my son deserves to be treated so seriously? Then I'm too late to be happy!hahaha!"
Hearing that his father was half joking and half proud, Zhang Ruiming was also a little embarrassed on his face.
"I'm not saying that the whole game today is to deal with me, I'm just saying that maybe there is a small reason for some of it, and by the way, I will take this opportunity to pull you in and let your painting sell for an unimagined price, and then it will be a good arrangement to appease me and deal with me. Besides, I said before that you don't believe it, I have met the people they sent a few times, and they have made a few small moves, and the large companies with hundreds of millions of people have many tricks against me. ”
"That's, that'...... Eh, this is Fang Xiaoruan?"
As he was talking, I saw Manager Park leading a few people to the Zhang father and son, the leader was short, in his fifties, with a big mouth, a big mouth, and a sharp-beaked monkey gills, which was really not good-looking, and there were several large pieces of vitiligo on his face, which made people unbearable to look at more. But although this person looks ugly, his momentum is like a wolf and a tiger, his steps are vigorous, and he doesn't squint, so he walked straight to the two of them, looked at Zhang Qingcang obliquely, and then swept his gaze to Zhang Ruiming, and finally stayed on Zhang Ruiming's uniform pants, and his expression changed faintly.
This person's attitude is arrogant, a hooligan temperament is overflowing, obviously used to the big scene of the left and right, and he doesn't speak first when he meets, his hands are behind his back, his neck is raised high, he is very proud, it seems that on weekdays, he is waiting for the other party to say hello to him first, or waiting for his subordinates to introduce him to others.
When Zhang Ruiming saw this person's virtue, he couldn't help but think of Ding Chunqiu in "Dragon Babu", who also had an amazing posture, followed by a group of people, waiting for others to beat gongs and drums, and sing praises to virtue.
Unexpectedly, this contemporary "Ding Chunqiu" encountered two hard bones today, Zhang Qingcang and Zhang Ruiming didn't pay attention to him, even if they guessed his identity, they didn't take the lead in saying hello, and the situation was frozen here for a while.
Manager Park reacted very quickly, suddenly came to his senses, walked among several people, and wanted to introduce the father and son: "Zhang Dashanren, Mr. Xiao Zhang, this must have been seen on TV, and the real person who watched it this time may not recognize it, this is a famous director in my country! Famous actor! Fang Xiaoruan, Teacher Fang!"
Zhang Qingcang saw that this was really Fang Xiaoruan, his expression changed suddenly, and he stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Director Fang. ”
Fang Xiaoruan stiffly shook hands with Zhang Qingcang, and at this time, Zhang Ruiming also politely stretched out his hand, and Fang Xiaoruan glanced at him and shook Zhang Ruiming's hand.
The eyes of the two met, Zhang Ruiming's expression was calm, and Fang Xiaoruan's eyes were gloomy, at this moment, both of them had a lot of ideas in their hearts, but all the calculations were made into two faint dialogues.
"Hello, Director Fang. ”
"Hello. ”
After the two sides met, Manager Park lost no time in interjecting.
"Zhang Dashan, Mr. Fang's vision is not ordinary, there are several works of Qi Baishi at home, think about the level of others...... Last time, Mr. Fang accidentally saw your painting in our gallery, he liked it very much, and this time he specially asked us to invite your painting over, just to have a chance to get to know each other. ”
"Haha, thank you for the wrong love, thank you Mr. Fang for lifting, I actually just have some experience, these pictures of "Eight Scenes of Tianjin and Hong Kong", I have been conceiving since 77 years, and I ...... in the pen."
Listening to Zhang Qingcang's talk, Fang Xiaoruan's eyes kept staring at Zhang Ruiming behind him, at this time, silence is better than sound.
It's no wonder, after all, Fang Xiaoruan knew before that the young man in front of him, who looked quite photogenic, was a small miscellaneous person who was ready to completely shake out the dark world hidden under his film and television empire like the world, if the inside story of these film and television circles was exposed, Fang Xiaoruan's large company with a market value of hundreds of millions, his future, and his works would be completely re-evaluated.
And Zhang Ruiming felt that he was like an assassin at this time, silently lurking behind his father, facing this international film and television industry bigwig, always ready to stab that crucial blow.
But it is also difficult to guarantee that this is not Fang Xiaoruan's game, today Zhang Qingcang's paintings will appear inexplicably in this auction, maybe it is Fang Xiaoruan's plan, for him, the big guy in the coffee position, he would not have to pay attention to a small role like Zhang Ruiming, but the recent frequent attacks by Wang Baoyi, as well as the turbulent waves in public opinion, made Fang Xiaoruan have to pay attention to Zhang Ruiming, the prosecutor who suddenly appeared around Wang Baoyi, in their opinion, Zhang Ruiming is holding the key key to destroy this film and television empire.
Win it over or destroy it.
