Chapter 679: I don't know how to pretend to understand
In a cemetery on the outskirts of Berlin, a man and a woman and a girl stand in front of a tomb.
The three of them didn't speak, and just stood still for more than half an hour.
Finally the man squatted down, put his arm around the girl and said, "Diane." Hannah is good. She's healthy, she's smart, and I'm going to London's Old Town Hall with her tomorrow. There, several paintings by Hannah are exhibited. Don't worry, I'll take care of our daughter!"
The man is naturally Link. In the past, he used to bring Hannah here once a year. But last year Hannah didn't come because of her health. This time, I brought Hannah to Europe, so I brought Hannah to worship with me.
He said to Hannah, "Say goodbye to your mother, we'll come back next year." ”
Hannah looked at the picture on the tombstone and whispered, "Mom, Daddy and I will come to see you in the future!" Mom, I love you!"
Link stood up, pulled her to the woman behind her, and said, "Annemarie, thank you for taking care of this place!"
Diane's tomb is well kept. Dinah's mother died even earlier than Diane, and Hannah is Diane's only living relative. Hannah would be sad if she knew that her mother's resting place had not been taken care of.
Anne Marie Snyder smiled and said, "Link, I said that. Diane is my best friend!"
"Even so, Hannah and I have to thank you!"
"Well, I accept your gratitude!"
The three of them made their way to the parking lot outside the cemetery. Anne Marie Snyder had her own car. Link watched her car leave before walking to his car. It was Zeppelin, which he had flown over.
When Link's car arrived at the hotel he had booked, he was surrounded by a group of reporters: "Mr. Hans, will you meet Chancellor Kohl in Germany this time?
"Mr. Hans, does the Hans Foundation have any plans to build low-rent apartments in Germany?"
"Mr. Hans......"
Link raised his hand and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid it's not too good for us to block the door of the hotel like this, maybe we can find a suitable place, and I can have ten minutes to take your questions." ”
He was followed by reporters when he set off from the airport just now, but when the car following him found out that he was going to the cemetery, they gave up tracking one after another.
It may have taken a lot of effort for these reporters to investigate that Link was staying in this hotel. Since these reporters gave him face just now, he can also give them a little face.
The hotel's lobby manager had already received the news and hurried to take Link to a VIP lounge for him to receive a reporter.
The reporter again asked a few questions that had just been raised at the door.
Link replied: "I came to Germany purely for personal reasons. So there were no plans to meet with German officials. ”
"Low-rent apartments are set up for people who are temporarily in financial difficulty. The aim is to help them get back on track with their normal lives. As far as I know, although Germany is a rich country, there are people in need of help. If the German government does not object, the Hans Foundation will not rule out the establishment of low-cost apartments in Germany in the future. ”
"The Benehans Group is willing to develop a deeper business in Germany, and at the same time is willing to cooperate with German companies on an equal footing to jointly safeguard the German agricultural environment and increase the income of farmers. ”
“……”
As the ten-minute interview was about to pass, a reporter suddenly asked a question: "Mr. Hans, we noticed that Hannah used to come to pay respects to Lady Golia in the winter, and today is not a holiday or a day off, did you and Hannah come to worship Lady Golia?"
Link touched the top of Hannah's head and said, "Yes, Hannah got pneumonia in the winter last year, because the winter in Germany is colder, I was worried about Hannah's body, so I didn't bring her." Tomorrow, Hannah has a few paintings to show in London, so I took her leave to come to Germany to pay her respects to her mother. ”
After answering the question, he stood up and said, "Thank you for the interview. However, Hannah needs to rest after a long flight. ”
Nor did the journalists dare to entangle themselves like paparazzi in front of the world's richest man. They knew that Link was enough to give them face.
And they also got a message that they could dig deeper.
Hannah has paintings to exhibit in London. And this exhibition actually allowed Link to bring his daughter to participate in person. That shows that it must be an exhibition worthy of Link's attention.
Hannah has been exposed quite a bit in the past few years. Her reputation in the United States is not small. Because she is a mixed-race child, her face is very delicate, although she is only a little over eight years old, her appearance is in line with the aesthetics of both the East and the West. In addition, she is the daughter of the richest man in the world, and many tourists who have been to Fox from various countries have taken pictures of Hannah.
When this beautiful American half-breed took the world by storm, the Germans had even more reason to pay attention to this beautiful girl. Because her biological mother was German.
It can be said that Hannah is half German. There is even an option to become a German citizen after the age of sixteen.
Although Britain has left the European Union, it is still a European country after all. The relationship between the media in these countries is quite close.
German journalists soon got a message from their British counterparts. Three of Hannah Lin's paintings will be exhibited tomorrow in an exhibition of Italian women painters. The exhibition will be held at the Old Guildhall in London. That female painter was Hannah Lim's painting teacher.
London's Old Guildhall is a very high-profile venue, and there was only one British painter who had an exhibition there eight years ago, but it was one of the most sought-after painters in the UK. After that, many painters wanted to hold exhibitions there, but they didn't get permission.
This time, the Italian female painter was able to hold an exhibition there, naturally because the artistic level of the paintings was very high. However, according to the information obtained by the British media, there are also reasons why Princess Kate came forward to get permission. But Princess Kate, a commoner princess, has always been cautious, and this time she came forward, it must be because of the high level of the paintings to be exhibited.
In any case, the fact that an eight-year-old girl's painting could be displayed in such an exhibition is curious news in itself.
Although many sources say that Hannah held her own small exhibition at the age of six. And it has been appreciated by many American painters. But not many people believe that her paintings can be exhibited together with the paintings of great artists.
On the evening of Link's interview, it became known throughout Europe that the painting of Link Hans's daughter was going to be exhibited at London's Old Guildhall.
…………
Alyssa's exhibition doesn't open until 10 a.m. and will run for three days.
Link and his daughter took off in Germany in the morning and arrived at London's Old Town Hall at nine o'clock. Alyssa, who was talking to a friend, heard that they were coming and greeted them. When Hannah saw her, she trotted over to her with a smile, kissed her on the cheek and congratulated her, saying, "Congratulations, Elisa!
With a smile on her face, Alyssa said, "No, it should be said, I am on the road to success." The art of painting is our never-ending goal. ”
Link also came over to congratulate Alyssa: "Congratulations, Alyssa! ”
"Thank you!" Alyssa said with a smile. "Thank you and Hannah for coming!"
Link also smiled and said, "No, it should be me who thank you." Thank you for being willing to exhibit Hannah's paintings in your exhibition!"
Alyssa stroked the top of Hannah's head and said, "This is an exhibition of my paintings with Hannah." You know, Hannah was inspired by some of the expressions of painting. ”
Alyssa said this, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hans, Hannah, I will introduce you to some friends. They are all artists and collectors with a unique perspective on art. ”
Link inevitably had to socialize with the British artists.
Link laughs and says, "Actually, I don't have an artistic cell. Link has never hidden this. He himself claimed to have acquired artworks, which were only investment collections. He has openly stated that he has no artistic cells, which the whole world knows.
So it's not surprising that these artists say anything to him, and Link's usual support for art also makes these artists a little polite to him. Not to mention that the richest man in the world could be a potential buyer of the works of these artists.
Before the official opening of the exhibition, Alyssa still has a lot of work to prepare.
Link takes Hannah and many other artists to see the paintings that Alyssa is going to exhibit. He couldn't say a word about the artists' comments on the paintings, and he was confused. But Hannah listened with relish. He had no choice but to listen along, even though he didn't understand a word.
I don't know if it was because of the face of Link or Alyssa, these artists also commented on Hannah's paintings, and discussed with Hannah the artistic conception and expression of those paintings.
As they were talking, people began to come in outside, and it turned out that it was already time for the exhibition to officially open.
Link looked at the crowd that came in. Alyssa needs to host some celebrities in the art world.
However, when talking about Hannah's paintings, Alyssa always proudly called Hannah to her side and introduced them to the artists. Link couldn't understand a lot of their conversations, but he could still hear that the artists seemed to have a good opinion of Hannah's paintings.
He looked at the expression on Hannah's face, and seemed to be happy to be affirmed by these people.
Alyssa, of course, introduces Link to the artists: "At Ozette, I have a great environment to work in. I am very grateful to Mr. Hans for providing me with that environment. Mr. Hans's support for art also inspired me a lot. You know, the pure hearts of those children who participate in the American Children's and Teenagers' Drawing Contest can always have the purest way of artistic expression. I was touched by that. ”
Although Alyssa identified Link as a supporter of art, Link really didn't understand art at all.
