Chapter 35 Catching the Wind

As he was getting into the drawing, he heard a voice say, "Are you sure you're here to pick someone up?"

Tian Chuan looked up in amazement, and saw two men in their thirties standing in front of him, wearing suits and leather shoes, dragging big suitcases, looking like they had just gotten off the plane.

Tian Chuan hurriedly stood up and asked, "Are they Qu Guodong and Yang Kaiyi, two alumni?" Seeing the two nodding, he quickly apologized: "I came a little early, I forgot the time to paint, and I was slow." I'm Tagawa, and I'm here to pick up the two seniors. ”

He turned back to a half-painted lady and said, "I'm sorry, I'm here to pick up a guest, so I can't finish painting for you." “

Qu Guodong said beside him: "How can you draw half of the painting, let's wait for you for a while, let's finish painting this lady." Yang Kaiyi next to him seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but he still didn't say anything.

Tagawa confessed to the two of them, sat down on the ground again, and spent a few minutes completing this portrait sketch. This sketch is not too pretty, but the smile is very relatable. Tagawa uses some Chinese painting freehand techniques to show her smile perfectly. After the painting was finished, he himself was very satisfied, and discussed with the lady in her 30s with some embarrassment: "Sister, I like this painting of mine very much, can you sell it to me?"

The lady disagreed: "You painted me so well, I don't want to sell it, and I want to take it home to show off." ”

Tagawa didn't want to force it, so he signed his name on the painting and said to her, "Pencil drawings are easy to smudge, so when you go back, spray a thin layer of varnish on them." I didn't bring paint with me today. The painting should be preserved, and one day I will become famous, and it will also be a fortune. Finally, he took out a business card and handed it to her: "One day you have the idea of selling, call the above number, I am willing to pay 5,000 yuan." ”

The lady was not at all moved, but thanked her and put her card away.

Tian Chuan got up and packed his things on his shoulders, helped the two alumni each drag a suitcase, and walked towards the parking space. On the way, he asked the two: "Two seniors, do you have any specific arrangements for the trip?" I have booked a room for you in the hotel, and Senior Liu Tianyu has arranged a dinner party for the two of you. ”

The two had no opinion, and followed Tian Chuan to a four-star hotel that had been booked. At this time, Yang Kaiyi, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Xiao Tian, are your funds insufficient? How can you book such a poor hotel, is this the attitude of hospitality?"

Tian Chuan looked back in amazement, stared at Yang Kaiyi for a long time, and said: "We are alumni, and we are contributing to our alma mater by holding this exhibition, and we have no funds." Going to the airport to pick up the airport, as well as the evening reception banquet, is my personal expression with senior Liu Tianyu. The hotel fee needs to be borne by the two seniors, if you are not satisfied, you can change it at will. ”

Then he said to Qu Guodong, who looked embarrassed: "What does Senior Qu mean?"

Qu Guodong didn't look at Yang Kaiyi and said, "Hurry up and check in, don't let Senior Liu Tianyu wait." ”

Yang Kaiyi was a little at a loss, and finally went through the formalities. Tagawa asked the two of them to go to the room to put things and rest for a while, and waited on the sofa in the lobby by himself, asked for a bottle of Coke, and drank it in small sips.

Half an hour later, the two alumni went downstairs, the two seemed to have talked, Yang Kaiyi apologized as soon as he saw Tian Chuan: "I didn't have a good attitude just now, and I ask the junior to bear with me." ”

Tian Chuan didn't care about himself, said a few polite words to him, and took them to the hotel they had booked.

After arriving at the hotel, after introducing Liu Tianyu who was waiting there, Liu Tianyu said: "Thanks to Oda Zhang Luo and Chairman Gao, they have created an opportunity for us to contribute to our alma mater. We have commissioned Carls-De to organize this charity auction, and they agreed to organize a special session for this purpose, Yongyang No. 1 Middle School Teacher Protection Fund Special, all of our alumni donated calligraphy and painting collections can participate, currently nine alumni have signed up, more than 40 lots have been determined, and the total transaction price is expected to be more than 3 million yuan. Christie's takes care of our pro bono activities and only charges 5% of the fee, including the appraisal fee. ”

Qu Guodong said: "This time I brought four of my own paintings, which are worth about $50,000 according to the market in France. There is also a contemporary painter in my collection, which should be estimated at about $50,000. ”

Yang Kaiyi also brought four paintings, and the price of his works was higher, with a total price of 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars.

Liu Tianyu asked Tian Chuan: "How are you preparing for the auction? ”

Tagawa said, "I only have a dozen or so of my own paintings and characters, and I plan to select four of the paintings that I missed that time." ”

Liu Tianyu exclaimed: "Four! Which four are you going to prepare?"

"Wu Changshuo's calligraphy, the oil painting "Worker", a sketch by Xu Beihong, Wang Xuetao's "Rooster Peony". In my own estimation, it will be about 5 million. I didn't think I could sell much of my own stuff, so I had to make up the number with my collection. At the same time, it can also attract some popularity to this auction. ”

Qu Yang and Yang were surprised by Tian Chuan's generosity, recalling seeing his portrait sketches at the airport, Yang Kaiyi said: "Xiao Tian's paintings are very distinctive, and if you meet someone you like, you have the potential to fetch a high price." When I look at your sketches, it seems to have melted into the style of Chinese painting, full of tension. ”

Qu Guodong also said: "I am also optimistic about your paintings, and when the time is right, I may take a picture and save it." ”

Liu Tianyu added: "Xiao Tian's calligraphy has a solid foundation and has certain prospects, and I will help you set a good starting price." ”

After the meal, several people met and sent the works to the exhibition. Tian Chuan said: "I painted a portrait of Mr. Zhou in Jin City the day before yesterday, the meaning is quite special, now in Gu Ge's studio, tomorrow I will take it back and send it over together." ”

The next day, several people gathered at Christie's and took out the calligraphy and painting works they brought. The auction house will give an estimate after appraisal. The works of Liu Quyang and the three of them have a perfect market price, and the average price of Tian Chuan's calligraphy is about 7,000 yuan, and the painting is about 10,000 yuan, which is a relatively high price. Among them, "Teacher Zhou Changjiang in Illness", because it has special significance and is well painted, it is estimated to be as high as 100,000 yuan.

In addition, there is another surprise, the unsigned oil painting "Worker", which the appraiser believes is the work of the famous Soviet painter Andrei Melnikov, is estimated to be more than 10 million yuan.

Melnikov was still alive, and the auction house asked Tagawa if he would consult the painter himself about the painting, and Tagawa agreed. A few days later, the auction house received feedback from Melnikov that he had given the painting to a Chinese painter in the early fifties, whose name he could no longer remember.

Fast forward to the weekend, and Tagawa returned to his hometown to host the club fishing tournament. At the end of the three-hour race, Ling Wenxin won the overall tail number of crucian carp, and another member won the overall weight championship. Almost all the 70 competitors achieved good results, and more than 1,000 catties of fish were caught in the three-hour competition, far exceeding the usual results of this fishing ground.

The strength of the club has been unanimously recognized by the owners of the fishing grounds and the fishing fans who watch the games. After the competition, many fishing friends applied to join the club, and the organizing committee of the competition invited them to the fishing tackle supermarket to handle it, bringing a large number of loyal customers to the supermarket.

Mr. Zhou's surgery was completed on Thursday as scheduled, and Director Wang Jianyi personally performed the surgery to remove the cancerous pancreas, which is currently recovering.

A variety of newly designed small parts of fishing gear have been put into production in the machinery company, and the products are sold in Weihai Fishing Tackle City, and the market has responded well. On behalf of 598 Company, Zhu Dacheng signed patent purchase contracts for several products such as hook tyers and combined fishing platforms, bringing the first batch order to the machinery company.

Director Ding personally led the team and went to Jiuhai County to try out two kinds of dismantling equipment, the wire stripping machine was left by Wu Hongjian on the spot, and the hydraulic dismantling machine needed to make some adjustments before going on the market.

Wu Hongjian acted as an agent for the local sales of these two equipments, and when Director Ding returned to Beijing, he directly brought back an order contract for 20 wire stripping machines, each priced at 40,000 yuan.

Jiang Jianbing's sales team has also established a framework and made extensive contacts with agricultural machinery stations in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The small farm machinery in the design has received several orders of interest.

The family's chicken farm is fully set up and is being disinfected, waiting for the first chicks to enter the pen.

Professor Lang had traveled back and forth between the capital and Qinglong Town many times in the past two weeks, and Tian Chuan specially purchased a Xiali car to use as Professor Lang's special car.

Professor Lang provided 3 kinds of chick feed formulas, and the chicken farm has made some feed samples according to the formula and is ready to be fed. Professor Lang's female graduate student, An Hong, has already moved into the dormitory of the chicken farm, preparing to continuously observe the growth of chicks.

Tian Chuan instructed his father to set up a laboratory for Professor Lang next to the dormitory, where they could conduct some simple experiments to facilitate their work.

Earthworm farming is going well, and all the worms have adapted to the new environment and have begun to reproduce. In a greenhouse test of the multi-layer breeding area has been set up four layers of breeding bed frame, push-pull breeding bed drawer has been made by the machinery factory samples, and the trial qualified, is in batches.

The greenhouses are planted with bok choy, ready to be harvested before the strawberries and green peppers are planted.

The cabbage is planted according to the pollution-free principle guided by Mr. Zhong, but as the initial practice of pollution-free planting in the future, there is no specific sales plan.

Tian Chuan put these sheds and a chicken farm at home, just as a pollution-free breeding test base, and did not have the luxury of making money in the short term, he hopes to find a set of feasible production technology, for the future farm management experience, so in the equipment and R & D investment is not stingy.

This week, Tian Chuan and Professor Zhao have more contact, all kinds of fishing tackle small parts of the design of communication is done almost every day, and the concept design of on-demand machine, harvester and mulching machine and other machinery is in full swing, Tian Chuan spent a lot of time to participate in the discussion, Jiang Jianbing's sales team also put the summary of customer expectations submitted, a week down, the cost, power, function, operation, etc. of several machinery have been determined and written into the contract, the design of the input and output interface has been completed, Professor Zhao has begun to carry out the main structure design.

Professor Hanglu also decided on the development of fishing rod winding technology, and Tian Chuan invested 500,000 yuan to entrust Professor Lu to develop fishing rod winding manufacturing technology.

This technology has not yet been developed, and Tian Chuan has already negotiated with Zhu Dacheng about the intention of technology transfer, and at that time, depending on the processing efficiency, Zhu Dacheng will pay 2 to 3 million yuan to acquire this technology patent.

This week, Tian Chuan was basically busy around the school, but he couldn't find time to accompany Xu Jingyi, and only texted at night. Xu Jingyi took the initiative to come over to see him once, but after only staying together for half an hour, he was called away by Professor Zhao.
