The little girl didn't look big, she was only about three years old, probably thinking that the woman behind her was coaxing her to be happy, and the more the woman shouted to stop, the more she ran forward, and soon came to the vicinity of Matthew and Lily Collins.

At this time, she found out that Matthew and Lily Collins were strangers, and immediately wanted to stand, probably because the brakes were too sharp, and she almost fell to the ground, Matthew was very close to the little girl, and quickly bent down to support her, and the little girl looked up at Matthew, and when she saw that she didn't know her, she opened her mouth and seemed to cry.

"It's okay! it's okay!" the woman ran over, took the girl from Matthew's hand, picked it up and comforted her, and then said, "Thank you......"

She glanced at Matthew more, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome. Matthew replied politely.

This exhibition has a certain entry threshold, and the people who come in are basically rich or celebrity.

He saw that this tall woman was very familiar, especially the appearance of a mole on the corner of her mouth, which seemed to be often seen in magazines and newspapers, but he couldn't remember who it was.

Lily Collins stepped forward and took the initiative to greet her, "Hello, Ms. Crawford. ”

The tall woman's gaze immediately turned to Lily Collins, looked at her properly, and then said, "Are you......?" Lily. She confirmed this and said, "I haven't seen you in a few years, and you're already a big girl." ”

Lily Collins completely changed her appearance, not at all like the star-chaser just now, she seemed very educated, "The last time we met was three years ago, and my mother often mentions you." ”

The tall woman politely said, "Go back and say hello to your mother for me, and I'll ask her out for coffee when I have time." ”

The time, coupled with Lily Collins' call to Ms. Crawford, Matthew had already thought of who the tall woman across from him was.

"Matthew, let me introduce you. ”

It just so happened that Lily Collins was going to introduce both sides, "This is Ms. Cindy Crawford. ”

She went on to introduce Matthew, "Ms. Crawford, this is Matthew Horner, my friend. ”

"Hello. Cindy Crawford hugged her daughter, couldn't reach out, nodded and smiled and said, "Thank you very much for what happened just now." ”

Matthew replied politely, "You're too polite, it's a gesture." ”

Cindy Crawford teased the little girl she was holding and said, "Kaia, say thank you." ”

The little girl estimated that this would be a little more familiar, and said in a milky voice, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome. Matthew smiled at the little girl, "Is your name Kaeya? ”

The little girl turned her head away and ignored Matthew, and Cindy Crawford smiled a little more sincere when she heard Matthew praise her daughter, and said, "Her name is Kaiya Jaber, and she is a little scared. ”

Matthew waved his hand, "It's okay. ”

Cindy Crawford exchanged a few more polite words with Matthew, and soon a man came to her, said goodbye, and left with her daughter.

"Let's go too. Lily Collins doesn't seem to want to be here anymore, "This exhibition is so boring, it's too boring, it's better to go home and play games." ”

Matthew agrees with this and says, "Okay, I'll go too." ”

As the two walked back down the road they came, Lily Collins added, "I'll write you emails often, and you'll have to reply when you have time." ”

"Rest assured. Matthew thought for a moment and said, "I promise I'll get back to you at least once every two months." ”

Lily Collins' face immediately fell, "Two months? can't it be half a month? A month is fine." ”

Matthew didn't promise and said, "I'll try my best." ”

Arriving at the gallery lobby, Lily Collins made a phone call, asked the driver to drive over, and said to Matthew, "I'll go first." ”

Matthew nodded, "There are reporters outside, so I won't send you." ”

Lily Collins waved at him and quickly walked out of the gallery hall.

This exhibition is different from what Matthew imagined, it is obviously a bit cold, and the paintings are not sold on site, and after these paintings are continuously exhibited, a public auction will be held.

According to Matthew's understanding, the organizer must do enough publicity and promotion, and only after he has enough fame can he get a high price.

He didn't understand the doorway here, and he didn't plan to buy it anyway, so he was ready to leave.

The man named Robert Fernandez appeared just in time, came up to Matthew, and said, "Are you done, Mr. Horner?"

Matthew replied casually, "I've read it roughly." ”

"Would you like to take a break?" Robert Fernandez, pointing to an entrance to the left of the foyer, "We have coffee over there." ”

"No need. Matthew declined, "I have other things to do, it's time to go." ”

Robert Fernandez didn't stay any longer and said, "I'll send you out." He followed Matthew to the gate, and said as he walked, "In fact, the value retention rate of art investment is really good." ”

In the eyes of these investment consultants, Hollywood stars have the best money, most Hollywood stars are not highly educated, they have a lot of cash after becoming famous, and in order to highlight their style, they often buy a lot of art, and there is a very big blindness in this purchase.

Hollywood stars are also one of the favorite client groups of auction and art investment companies.

That day, when he met Matthew Horner, he felt that he had encountered a big fish, but he didn't expect that this big fish had no intention of biting the hook at all.

Matthew didn't pick up Robert Fernandez's words and just walked out.

"It's almost impossible for a work of art to depreciate. Robert Fernandez was still saying, "Mr. Horner, think about it, if you invest in real estate, the annual property tax alone is a huge expense, and buying a mansion may lose money in a few years, but art will not." ”

He continued this conceptual rhetoric, "Art is priceless, and as human civilization becomes more and more developed, the value of works of art will only continue to rise." ”

Matthew walked out of the gallery door at this point and said to Robert Fernandez, "I see, I'll keep an eye on it when I have time." ”

Robert Fernandez took an invitation from his coat pocket and handed it to Matthew, "This is an invitation to the auction, I hope to see Mr. Horner at the auction." ”

Matthew took the invitation and politely said, "If I have time, I will participate." ”

He put away the invitation, turned to get into the BMW driven by the parking attendant, and started the car to leave quickly.

On the way back, he was still thinking about Robert Fernandez's words, this art investment consultant said that in some states in the United States, the property tax is terrible, and the price increase such as hoarding can only lose money, but not all states are like this.

Art is indeed priceless, but there is a fact that Robert Fernandez did not say that the artists and artworks that create art are valuable.

If it was a painting by Van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci or Picasso, Matthew would definitely find a way to buy it, and modern artists don't even have to think about it.

There are only a few famous Western painters he knows.

Matthew also has a certain skepticism about the monetization ability of artworks, and he once read on some online reports that the art craze at that time was not really hot, but the auction houses, domestic and foreign speculators and the media jointly speculated.

He has no way of studying the truth of this kind of thing, and with his previous standard of living, he can't reach this level.

After seeing this exhibition, Matthew also fully agreed with Helen Herman's words that art investment should be cautious and cautious.

Rather than invest in such an industry that even Helen Herman is not sure about, it is better to continue to buy Apple shares in an orderly manner, and the five million dollars he invested before, after a long-term and unremitting acquisition by stockbrokers, have basically become Apple retail stocks circulating in the market.

Matthew's requirements are very simple, no matter how much Apple's stock price is, as long as you can buy the bulk stocks, you will buy them, anyway, now the kidney machine has not come out, so far I have not seen the news of Apple's development of smart phones in the media or other news, and Apple's stock will definitely have a very large appreciation space in the future.

Even if he makes a mistake, Apple's stock will not rise sharply, but with the kidney machine, the value of the invested funds will definitely not be a problem.

Matthew also planned for this year's income, the $800 basic salary of "National Treasure" has arrived, the $10 million salary of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", the crew has also paid $3 million, and the rest will be paid off in full this year.

Coupled with the later division of "Dawn of the Living Dead", he will soon gather a large amount of money in his hands.

After all these years, Matthew also completely understood that it was a waste to lie in the bank with so much money, and it was far more cost-effective to pay a large amount of taxes.

However, he is very cautious and will not easily trust people, such as the stockbroker, who should have no shortage of regulatory measures.

and the former Nicolas Cage, who later fell to the embarrassment of going to the other side of the Taiping to pick up bad movies to make money, also gave Matthew enough warnings that managers or investment advisers must be strictly guarded against.

In this regard, not to mention these people, even Helen Herman has been on guard.

Some people may think that he is too suspicious, but Matthew always believes that suspiciousness is definitely a good quality for a person who has a lot of money and lacks the ability to manage money.

With this money in his hand, Matthew made two plans, on the one hand, he continued to buy Apple's scattered shares, and how much he could buy before the kidney machine went on the market, and on the other hand, he bought a mansion that belonged to him.

In this regard, he is still looking for the mansion borrowed by the crew during the filming of "National Treasure", and someone bought it without giving him a chance to make a move.

Property in Beverly Hills is always hot.

In addition, Matthew has already contacted the owner of the house in the northern suburbs of Burbank, and plans to buy it first if he finds a suitable property for the time being. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
