Chapter 297: New York (7) The Scrap of the Eight Horses

Looking at the figure of Okal strolling away, George turned and walked in the opposite direction, Okar chose a very good place, only a few kilometers away from the Citibank office building, and not far from Karls's information consulting company, only need to turn two intersections, and go forward a hundred meters to arrive.

Being able to open an information consulting firm in the bustling Manhattan area, and paying expensive rental fees and various taxes, is enough to show that the consulting company owned by Karls and Calus is very profitable.

Originally, what George thought in his mind was that this consulting company might need to fill part of the cost by itself, and spending money to support these people was completely the same idea of George and people of his class, otherwise how could a company have so many consultants who only receive salaries and do not work, they are all people who appear at critical moments.

Calus's friendship with Kars is completely out of his own protection, he doesn't care whether this company makes money or not, as long as Kars can use his relationship to help him solve some troubles when he needs it, he doesn't care about the rest, and it can even be said that Carlus has paid Kars a certain amount of consulting fees every year over the years, and he is not the owner of this company at all, and he doesn't care about the company's affairs, even if he is short of money, as long as he knows it, he will immediately transfer the expenses to the company's account.

It's just that this Calus never cared, but he was just a person who used it as his cavalry at a critical moment, but he gave a very big surprise.

When George received the financial statements and some related documents of Carlus's investment in Karls, through his lawyer, the idea was taken out of his mind.

This is completely a golden hen that lays eggs, although the income is too different from George's trip to the stock market and futures market, but it is better to be stable, for a long time, as long as the relationship is still there, Kars is still alive, and can continue to run for it, the income will not be reduced.

Consultant positions on several large public companies in New York, Florida and even Ohio have skyrocketed Kars's income, not to mention the daily fees paid by those who hire them to work in Congress or state for a variety of reasons.

It can be seen from this that these senators and congressmen have a much better life after leaving office than when they were in office, and even the president envies them.

If it weren't for the approval of Roosevelt's proposed presidential retirement guarantee, the old age might have been very miserable for each other.

After the new century, presidents can earn income by publishing books and speeches, but that is only because they have just left office and made a lot of money when they are popular, and they have not had such treatment for a long time.

Vice President Biden may be the most miserable, because of his son's illness, he even had to sell his only house at one point, if it weren't for President O'Hei pulling him at a critical moment, Biden's later life may have to be spent in hard work.

This is not the case with their own parliamentarians and members of Congress, who have wove a vast web of relationships over the years of their working lives, which is a guarantee that they will remain prosperous after they retire.

For example, the man standing in front of George now has gray hair, wrinkles over sixty years old have begun to rise, and age spots have begun to flash, and he is still energetic and very enthusiastic about George.

After a brief introduction to himself, George was enthusiastically ushered into his office by Karls.

The office is not luxurious, not as luxurious as ordinary people imagine, but very low-key and concise, of course, in George's opinion, this is the case.

If you had found someone to value these low-key products, George would now cost $3,000 on the sofa under him, not to mention the desks and bookshelves that are full of high-grade wood, which are valuable office supplies.

What made George care the most was that the painting hanging on the wall turned out to be a picture of eight horses from Huaxia, which George did not expect.

George walked over to the eight horses, which had only one painting on the walls of the room, and it was also painted in ink, and stared earnestly at the eight heroic horses galloping forward, in different postures, tall and vigorous.

One of the most distinctive horses is that it kicks the ground with its hind legs, its front hooves soaring into the air, its mane fluttering in the wind, and its head and tail are free.

There are no inscriptions and no seals.

"This is a painting I found at a flea market, and its owner, a Chinese American, had disposed of some things that had been sealed in the warehouse because he had to move.

The painting was taken away, and the first time it was put out, I happened to be at the flea market, ready to choose an oil painting to decorate the room.

Unfortunately, the paintings didn't come into my eyes, and when I was disappointed and wanted to leave, I saw the paintings, and after some haggling, I bought them for thirty dollars.

I was introduced to a framing shop in Chinatown and reframed it, and after it was finished, many people living in Chinatown wanted me to transfer it to them on the day I took it.

I didn't say yes until they offered $500,000, and they gave up.

But there are still a lot of people who still want to take it in my hands, and the price is now $800,000.

However, I never agreed, this painting is related to me, and after I asked, I knew that he had a good meaning, called Feihuang Tengda.

I am very satisfied with this meaning, officially because of it, the company has gone through ten years now, and every year will bring me a very considerable income, which is called "Wangfu" in China, Wangfu, it is with it, I got rid of the hard life of only receiving 50,000 US dollars a year, and lived a comfortable life now.

Oh, by the way, I've asked a few masters to do it, and they told me for sure that this painting was from a master who specializes in painting horses in China, and even though he was only in the first draft, I still liked it very much. ”

Kars, who came in with coffee, saw George standing in front of the Eight Horses, staring at the Eight Horses unsmoothly, as if he was attracted to it, especially the eyes that flashed from time to time, which made him very satisfied.

He put the coffee down on the table, walked over to George's side, and began to babble on and on complimenting his eyes, the preciousness of the painting, and even its origin.

At this time, Kars was like a child showing off to adults that he had gotten a treasure.

George smiled secretly at Kars's appearance, but more envy, if Kars was right, that person should be a master who specializes in drawing horses and carrying them forward.

This is a painting that anyone who loves painting in China wants to get, even if it is not the final version of Master Xu, there is no mark that it is Master Xu's own handwriting.

But those appraisers are not vegetarians, and their eyes are very poisonous, since they are so sure, there must be no big mistakes, after all, this can only be concluded after making a one-to-one comparison of techniques, painting skills, etc.

No one will easily smash their signboard, you must know that once you make a mistake, it will bring a very big loss to the customer, after spreading, the reputation is not important, after all, there are eye-catching times, but the income will decrease with the loss of reputation, this is their meal guy, no one dares to treat it casually, are cautious.
