Hong Yanwu had no psychological burden on the meal of "Zai" Xiao Heping.

He sat at the wine table, not only eating with relish, but also tapping his lips from time to time.

Regardless of Xiao Heping's anxiety and eagerness, he played a big game.

One moment for garlic, one moment for vinegar, and Xiao Heping was like a shopkeeper.

That's called a dripping spin.

It's a bit of a low-level fun, and it's not a good friend.

But, then again.

He didn't eat this meal in vain, and the idea he gave was reliable.

With his words, Xiao Heping was at least able to fall asleep that day, and his mind was much calmer.

And when it was time to do things two days later, Hong Yanwu fully fulfilled his promise.

Early in the morning, he not only came to Xiao Heping in his suit and leather shoes in the car that was built by Bian Jiangong.

And really brought a real foreigner Angelo.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Heping's heart became more steady, and a glimmer of hope really rose again.

What are they going to do?

Hey, in fact, Hong Yanwu is going to take Angelo to Master Huang's house to put on a good show.

I want to use the method of "Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang" to give another gift to save the situation for Xiao Heping.

At the wine table two days ago, he told Xiao Heping like this.

"Gift-giving, first of all, the first principle, must be done to the people's liking. ”

"People who are in need of life, you give them gifts of real value. If you live well, you have to give something interesting. Those who are wealthy but have no status must have a desire for honor and fame beyond the ordinary. ”

"According to this reasoning, it is actually not wrong for you to give this Master Huang money. Because the current situation of our national situation is that artists have inverted fame and fortune, high reputation, and low income. ”

"And as you said, their house is good, and the junior of the Academy of Fine Arts lives there. But I didn't even have a refrigerator. When I heard this, I knew that life was hard, and he would never really treat money as dung. ”

"But the problem is that you are not related to others, and the purpose of giving gifts is to go through the back door. For some people who don't have a sense of morality, this may be acceptable. But for people who take ethics very seriously, it becomes an insult. Instead, it loses the meaning of gift-giving. ”

"Think about it, if you accept your money, this Master Huang will not only feel inferior and ashamed. What's more, if this matter is to get out, it will cause a devastating destruction to his reputation,"

"If nothing else, let's consider it from a purely utilitarian point of view. If people charge you 500 yuan, you have to gamble your dignity, face, status, and fame, is it worth it?"

Therefore, this involves the second principle of gift-giving, which is not only to give the right gift, but also to be clever, it must be enough to meet the identity of the recipient, and to give people enough face to get good results. That is what I said, to give things that others cannot refuse in a way that others cannot refuse. ”

"What do you mean? We have to use obscure methods to dispel all the factors that Master Huang is worried about. Let him receive gifts comfortably, receive them openly, and receive them without any worries. Preferably, it can also be passed on as a good talk by outsiders, so that his reputation and prestige will be even higher......"

"Don't frown, it's actually very easy to do. That's what I thought, I'm going to find a foreigner to help. If you think about it, a foreign art collector who claims to be here and wants to buy a painting. Can Master Huang still be happy? This is a good thing to make money and fame, and on the surface, it doesn't involve anything else. He will definitely say yes, and he will be honored. ”

"And when we buy his paintings at a high price, he will also admit the affection, doesn't it mean that the gift is successful? At this point, Huohou, if I mention your matter again, it will be much easier. Presumably, even if Master Huang is annoyed, it is not good to turn his face at that time, how can he patiently listen to me tell you about your situation. ”

"As for you, just wait in the private room of the restaurant. As long as I can bring Master Huang at noon, it will prove that people are willing to forgive you. As soon as you meet, you sincerely admit your mistakes and toast a glass of wine during the banquet. That's pretty much it. What do you say?"

What do you think?

High, of course high.

Facts have proved that Xiao Heping only regarded this idea as "a dead horse right as a live horse doctor", which really underestimated Hong Yanwu's IQ.

In practice, the situation is completely unusually smooth.

At noon, Hong Yanwu and Angelo were almost on time and invited Master Huang.

And Xiao Heping, who was anxious and timid, was a little incredulous when he saw people.

In a trance, I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered that I should come forward to say hello.

"Huang ...... Professor Huang, do you remember me...... I'm ...... I'm the Xiao Heping you drove away, I'm ...... I was wrong......"

Unexpectedly, because of the hasty excitement, the chain fell off at a critical time and stuttered.

And just when he was embarrassed by his clumsy tongue and didn't know how to express his apologies clearly.

On the contrary, Master Huang kindly asked him not to be nervous, and comforted him in an approachable manner.

Master Huang claimed to have learned about his situation and understood that he had a reason, so he would not blame him again.

He even encouraged him very firmly.

"Artists always have to talk about their work. You must stick to your ethics and don't lose yourself because of a momentary utilitarianism. Because once the heart is polluted, it is impossible to create works that go deep into the heart and have infectious power. ”

"Therefore, do not believe that those who think that those who engage in crooked ways will succeed. I can assure you that as long as I am a judge, there will be no interference with the results of this review. ”

"If your work is good enough, then you can definitely win an award without giving gifts. But if you still can't win the award, it must be that your work is flawed. It can only be said that you still need to continue to improve yourself. ”

There is nothing better than such a result.

So after this meal, Xiao Heping completely regained his self-confidence and felt that life was full of light again.

But just when he was very grateful and thanked Hong Yanwu for fulfilling himself.

To his great surprise again, he found that his optimism seemed to have gone a little too far.

Because Hong Yanwu said that this matter has just begun.

He was also assigned a new task, asking him to inquire about the names and addresses of the other primary judges as soon as possible through Mr. Kangping.

said that before the list of re-finalists was announced, he would do the same and visit all the judges one by one.

Only then can this matter be considered to have a real chance of winning.

In this regard, Xiao Heping was of course puzzled.

He thinks that since Master Huang has already said something like that, will there be any changes?

Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu was amused by his simplicity.

Another good lesson for him.

"Ouch, what did Master Huang promise you? He promised you to let your painting participate in the second election? Didn't I tell you that there could be two outcomes?"

"You, you just don't deal with people too much. I tell you, listen to the words, and don't just take it literally. No one will talk to death, that is not only equivalent to getting along with themselves. Such promises are also not credible. ”

"So right now, what Master Huang promised and what he can implement is just to do his best to help. But after all, he is a person, and it is really hard to say how much resistance he encounters, and to what extent he can help. Of course, while there is still time, we will try to win the support of as many judges as possible. There is no doubt that the more judges stand on our side, the more effective Master Huang's words will be. ”

"Although it is said that the person surnamed Guan has already given a gift, let's send it again, it is a step too late. But it also depends on whether the value of the gift is equal. I'm telling you, I'm offering a price that no one else can refuse. As long as we make a move, the judges who are more inclined to the surname Guan will have to turn against each other and be pulled over by us. That's what I know......"

Well, that's crazy.

But when Xiao Heping really understood the inside story, he was completely dumbfounded.

Because Hong Yanwu is really not blowing, his hand is too big.

At Master Huang's place, he actually spent a full 35,000 foreign exchange coupons to buy thirty-three pairs of works in one go.

There are Chinese paintings and oil paintings, which are almost the amount of Master Huang's creation in five or six years.

As far as Xiao Heping knows, there are few paintings sold on such a large scale in China.

In particular, oil painting is still a type of painting that has just developed in modern times in China.

In fact, the market in this area is far colder than that of traditional Chinese painting.

Many painters' oil paintings, in addition to being collected by art museums.

It can only be hung in the hotel and sold together with handicrafts and tourist souvenirs.

There are only some diplomats and staff of foreign companies stationed in Beijing, as well as some Hong Kong businessmen, who are making sporadic purchases.

Naturally, the price is not too high, and the painter himself has to pay a part of the consignment fee.

Therefore, in the minds of many oil painters, they never thought that their works could be realized through buying and selling.

Most of them do this as pure art, and most of them are professors at the Academy of Fine Arts.

Even at the level of Master Huang, he belongs to the authoritative figure of the domestic oil painting profession.

If the work can be sold for 811 thousand, it is already considered a high price.

Hong Yanwu almost paid twice the price, and he bought so much in one fell swoop.

It's no wonder why Master Huang has such an affinity attitude towards him.

But after figuring out this, Xiao Heping was even more dazed and hesitant.

He really didn't know whether he should do what Hong Yanwu said.

Because if this is the case, run all the judges' offices again, Hong Yanwu doesn't know how much money he has to take in?

No matter where Hong Yanwu's money came from, it was astronomical for him.

This favor is owed, and I am afraid that he will not be able to repay it in his entire life.

He didn't expect that his own business would require so much money to pay, and his heart was full of apologies to Hong Yanwu.

What's more, if you get such honor and recognition just by money, is it still valuable and meaningful?

It's the same as cheating.

He also had strong doubts about the legitimacy of his insistence.

Fortunately, Hong Yanwu has the ability to understand people's hearts, and it is easy to see his concerns and vacillation.

So he made a timely persuasion.

"Peace, don't have any burden in your heart, this time is uncertain. ”

"I'm telling you, don't look at me for you to be in a hurry. But I also think that Master Huang's words are correct. It can't be done to engage in crooked ways, and the iron must be hard by itself. ”

"As the saying goes, you can't save the poor. If you really don't have the ability, it's useless for me to help you. Even if you use the money to put you on it. If you can't turn around, you have to fall. Then it will be to kill both of us, and we will have to be notorious together. ”

"But you have to have the ability, even if you miss this opportunity. Sooner or later, you can come out sooner or later. This is called the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and gold will always shine. ”

"If you don't rush anything else, you don't love anything every day, so I think about painting. Drawing a hand, you can start from the bones, then draw the blood vessels, draw the skin, from the inside out, to achieve a complete and realistic presentation. I decided you were an art genius. ”

"I've never seen a painter do that. Not how high your level is, but how obsessed you are. Someone like you is a painter by nature. If you can't even draw, no one is worthy of being called a painter. ”

"What's the use of my money? Compared to your ability, that's a fart. At most, it can only play an auxiliary role in your success. The only meaning is to help you avoid lifelong regrets and waste a few years of waiting for fame. ”

"I know, you might think I'm spending a little too much money for your business. Then I might as well be honest with you, my money is not blown by the wind. No matter how good our relationship is, I won't be reckless and invest in you like this. ”

"The reason why I paid such a big price is because I really want to buy these paintings. Nowadays, these paintings seem to me to be the price of cabbage, and sooner or later they will soar to the sky, bringing me rich financial returns. ”

"Maybe you think I'm a bit stupid because the price of my paintings is too high. But you have to think about it from my point of view, I'm a layman. How do I know what level of the paintings sold out there are? Is the creator famous? Besides, it's really a good painting, who is willing to sell it?"

"But now it's different. With your help, I can go to the judges to buy paintings, and go directly to people's homes, all of which are masterpieces. What's more, who is not a well-known painter in the industry who can give awards to the judges of the National Art Exhibition? I can just buy it with my eyes closed, and the price is good, and I can choose what I like. So to put it bluntly, in this matter, the two of us are purely mutually beneficial, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"So, if I thank you, okay? Please let me help you. You really don't need to feel that you owe me anything. If you really don't want to go, you can send me a few more pictures of yours. When you become famous, I'll make a lot of money, okay?"

Good no good?

Okay, that's better than reading a book for ten years.

Xiao Heping is like encountering a brainstorm, and he was baptized by an alternative "brain teaser".

For Hong Yanwu's shrewdness, it was really a five-body throw, and he was completely convinced.
