Dada?

Fu Zhengyi felt that if there was a mirror in front of him, his expression must be capitalized 'confused'. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Dadaism is an anarchist art movement that seeks to discover the real reality through the abolition of traditional cultural and aesthetic forms, Dadaism is led by a group of young artists and anti-war activists who express their despair of bourgeois values and the First World War through anti-aesthetic works and protests......"

"World War I?"

In French, the word "Dada" means a rocking horse for children's play, Dadaism arose in 1915, collapsed in 1919, and completely disappeared in 1923, adopting Bakunin's slogan: To destroy is to create ......"

Listening to David's introduction, Fu Zhengyi felt like a preschooler. "David, you're so knowledgeable that I'm ashamed of myself......"

"Haha! Because of love, the more you know, the more you will feel your ignorance! Very few people can understand this as soon as they are born, your reaction is no different from my first day of contact with art, you don't need to feel guilty and regretful for it!"

"Well, I'll admit that I don't know anything about art. But why did you introduce such a work of art to me?"

"Because the price is right, and because many of the Dadaist works seem rudimentary and incomprehensible, they are the best choice for 'impersonating' collectors!"

"Uh...... That's what I mean, but can you put it another way? 'Pretending' is a bit embarrassing for me......"

David burst out laughing. "Okay, so I'll put it another way. Although Dadaism was eventually swallowed up by 'Surrealism', it was precisely because the emergence of Dadaism led to the development and flourishing of 'Surrealism'......

At this point, David got up and picked up a book on Dadaism, came back and sat down to open it, and was about to continue, but in vain a question came to mind. "Why would you be interested in buying art in vain?"

"I think it's more interesting to have a title like Collector......"

"Ha! Fu! This kind of joke is not funny! I mean it!"

"David, if someone takes a fancy to a collection that you hold dear or don't want to sell, how likely do you think they are to succeed?"

"There's zero chance! I'm not short of money, and I don't have a reason to sell, even if the president of the United States wants to buy it!"

After David answered decisively, it suddenly dawned on him. "Fu! Are you still thinking about the beast head that Pino Jr. bought?"

"yes, I'd love to get it together. So the beast head in Pino's hand, I am bound to get!"

David had a big headache, and some regretted telling the young man that the beast's head had been bought by Pino Jr.

"Fu, Pinot Jr. is a famous collector in France, he is a genius of capital operation, so he is different from ordinary American billionaires, all he holds in his hands is pure cash, you want him to sell the collection, it is too difficult......"

"There is a saying in Huaxia that it is necessary to go out of its way, and it is necessary to save it when attacking it......"

Even if little Pino doesn't do anything, he doesn't need to sell the collection to get money, not to mention that the beast heads you love are actually not very valuable, I sent someone to inquire after the last incident, in 1985 an American antique dealer found bronze statues of horses, cows and tigers in California. The antique dealer bought the three bronze heads at a low price of $1,500 each, and over the next two or three years, the three bronze beast heads and monkey heads appeared at auction in New York and London, and the highest price was a horse head, but it was only a mere $250,000......

"Okay, so let's go back to the previous question, if someone wants something that you don't want to sell, under what circumstances would you sell it?"

Asked for the second time in a row, David thought seriously for a moment and still felt ridiculous!

The assets in his hands, in addition to DreamWorks, are a large number of national bonds and stocks of well-developed companies, unless the United States sinks overnight, otherwise even if the Third World War breaks out in the United States, as long as he is alive, he will definitely not need to sell the collection.

So David said with certainty. "I can't think of any reason to force me to sell my collection! No one can force me to sell my collection, not even the president of the United States can force me to do what I don't want to do......

"Okay! I'll admit you're invulnerable, but Pinot Jr. is said to be preparing to take a stake in Christie's Auction House, and if I force him to pay a higher price to become a shareholder of Christie's Auction House, do you think Pinot Jr. is willing to sell the head of the beast to me, or is he willing to give up his stake in Christie's Auction House?"

David was stunned.

Pino, who is regarded as a genius in capital operation, will inevitably go crazy with anger if he is forced to pay a higher price in exchange for the company he wants to buy!

"It's too dangerous to do this, if Pino Jr. withdraws in time, or if you join forces with the seller, you will suffer huge losses! None of the companies that Pinot Jr. values are cheap, and they are often more than 100 million dollars......

"It doesn't matter, as long as I know which company he wants to buy, I'll grab it, compared to social influence and fame, I'm not as good as him now, can I compare funds?"

"Pinot Jr.'s company has been listed for more than ten years, and he has the support of Crédit Lyon and AGF Insurance Company in France, and he can obtain tens of billions of dollars of bank credit when he needs it......

Although he initially wanted to regard Pino Jr. as an opponent because of anger, with the communication with David, Fu Zhengyi also had some new ideas, so he smiled. "If a $100 million company is forced to spend $200 million or more in cash to acquire it, do you think he will agree?"

If you insist on going your own way, in the end, you will buy a bunch of worthless companies at a super high premium, and the final result of the competition is that you need one person to bear the consequences of malicious interception!"

"That being said, if these companies or enterprises that I robbed are all that Pinot Jr. particularly wants to buy, then do you think he is willing to fight against me in the capital market all year round because of a few beast heads?"

"For the sake of a few beast heads, you need to form a mortal enemy with a rich Frenchman?"

"It doesn't matter, since it was he who provoked the incident first, if I didn't follow it, wouldn't I look down on him, not to mention that I think the target selected by Pino Jr. will definitely have acquisition value, since you said before that he is a genius of capital operation, then the selected target must be well-thought-out and has investment value, so my acquisition is not to save the preliminary investigation, demonstration and research, just pay for the target to take down, then you can wait for the acquired company to make money for me?"

Crazy!

It's crazy!

There was only that word left in David's mind for a while!

"David, let's go back to the previous topic, you only told me that I can buy 'Dadaism' collections to pose as collectors, so where can I buy Dadaist art, and what do I need to learn to make me look more like a collector?"

Shaking his head to dispel thoughts about 'madness' and the like, David said seriously. "There are a lot of Dadaist works, but masterpieces like Guillaume Apollinaire, Hans Arp, Hugo Barr, Johannes Bard, and Artur Callafan are really not very easy to collect, and they are occasionally sold at auctions in New York, and there are also ...... at some charity galas."

With such a large number of names, Fu Zhengyi had never even heard of them, so he quickly interrupted. "David, I want you to do me a favor! I would be grateful for telling me what I need to buy, how much it will cost, and what knowledge I still need to master!"

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to provide you with a list of books to refer to, as well as a list of some of the works of Dadaist masters that are worth buying, and I'll also inform you in advance of the Dadaist auction, and I'm sure you'll be called a collector in five years......"

"Five years? No, no, no, I don't want to spend so much time researching Dadaism, I just need to be able to express my opinion about Dadaism at a reception or at a meal, so that it is impossible to determine in a short period of time whether I am a 'fake' collector or a 'real' ......collector."

I've been collecting art for a few years, and David was really hot when he heard it. If you stand in front of me now, I will not hesitate to blast you out!"

"Davy...... Help......"

Thinking that Fu Zhengyi on the other end of the phone was a young man in his early twenties, David felt that his anger really had no reason, and he sighed when his anger disappeared. "Well, I'll ask my secretary to give you a condensed bibliography, and if you're willing to waste dollars, maybe within a year, you'll be an expert in Dadaism......" (To be continued. )
