Chapter 1107: The Foreigner's Auction
After taking care of the museum, Zhang Tianyuan was able to relax, but he no longer had the energy to roll the sheets with Liu Mengxun.
It is estimated that it will take a day or two for the museum to apply, after all, I have a back door and connections.
He was thinking about whether to call that Sir Amer and inform him of the preparations for the museum here, and finally thought about it or forget it, the next thing he had to do was to calm down, and wait for the good show at the auction tomorrow to end, and wait for Amel to take the initiative to contact him, anyway, he didn't sign any contract, and then he would order something, I believe that after tomorrow, as long as his request is not too excessive, Amer will not object.
What is a strange commodity to live in?
What does it mean to be scrambled?
That's the case with the Picasso painting he has in his hand, and tomorrow he's going to put a Picasso painting up at auction, and then continue to push up the value of the thing. In fact, the value of a work of art is driven by marketing.
Can you say that Monet's paintings were not good, and why did no one want them at that time?
The key is that they don't know how to market, after they died, later generations of businessmen found business opportunities, and then carried out large-scale marketing, so that the paintings of the Impressionist painters immediately became the focus of the world's attention, and even Monet's paintings were more expensive than Picasso's paintings.
Marketing is what really turns decay into magic.
Don't believe it, if you give it to a real marketing guru, he can sell a schoolboy's painting for the price of a Picasso painting, and it's not unprecedented, but many people don't know it.
Case. Zhang Tianyuan has to seize this marketing opportunity, his paintings are already valuable. As long as it goes through some marketing, it will inevitably increase in value again. I believe that both Amer and that Helis will regret not trading with him earlier.
"Mengmeng, let's go to bed early tonight, how about it?" Zhang Tianyuan finished thinking about things before he thought of sleeping, and found that Liu Mengxun, who was lying on the side, had fallen asleep sweetly, and when he looked at the time, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening.
He stuck out his tongue, not expecting to be so excited because he was thinking about things. I almost forgot to sleep. So I quickly turned off the lights, the room was dark, and the plane was very quiet, and I didn't have to worry about noise when I slept.
Although he slept late this night, he slept very soundly, so that when Zhang Tianyuan opened his eyes, he found that it was ten o'clock, and the auction was estimated to have been going on for more than two hours.
"That's right, husband. Zhan Fei just called, saying that he was ready, and he could guarantee that even if he took out Picasso's oil painting today, there would be no problems. "Liu Meng found it earlier than Zhang Tianyuan. and answered the phone for Zhang Tianyuan.
"Well, he's doing things, I'm relieved. By the way, Phoenix, did you bring that painting with you?"
"With it. But it's okay to put the Snake team on the plane alone, right? He finally came out for a trip. ”
"That's right, but people aren't alone. Sister Yueyue has already gone to accompany him, and there are all entertainment facilities on the plane, and they won't be bored in comparison. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile: "When you're done with this while, give him a long vacation, it is estimated that he and Sister Yueyue are about to get married." ”
Blue Phoenix smiled and said no more.
Snake Lin has always treated her as a little sister, and she has always treated Snake Lin as a brother, as long as Snake Lin is happy, she will be happy.
"Boss Zhang, I'm a little late today, my Monet painting has been auctioned, and the auction has been going on for almost three hours, hurry up and go in, I'll let people occupy the position." ”
When Zhang Tianyuan arrived at the venue of this auction, it was almost eleven o'clock, and the auction was originally scheduled to start at eight o'clock, but now it is really almost three hours later, but Zhang Tianyuan doesn't care, he is not much interested in the things auctioned at the auction now, he is just using this auction to promote his Picasso oil paintings.
Lancelot had been waiting there for a long time, and after receiving a call from Zhanfei, he hurried out, and the seats inside were naturally occupied by the newly hired subordinates, and he seemed to be in a really good mood, because his Monet painting had already been sold.
"Oh, how much did you pay for that painting?"
"Five million dollars boss, it's a lot more than I imagined, these people are crazy, but I really have to thank you for this thing, boss, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know that thing turned out to be a treasure, and I almost threw it away as a butt wipe." ”
"Since you're so happy, how about giving me half of it?"
Hearing this, Lancelot was obviously stunned for a moment, but after thinking for a while, he said firmly: "Okay, no problem, it stands to reason that if you take this painting quietly, the boss will not know that there is no problem with dividing half of this money with you." ”
"Hahaha, you're really divided, kidding you. What do I want your money for, keep it for your mother first, she is also a poor person. Alright, tell me about the auction in the morning. Zhang Tianyuan sat down as he spoke.
Sitting next to him were Liu Mengxun, Lancelot, and Blue Phoenix, who was holding a painting bag with only one painting in it, which was the Picasso oil painting worth about $80 million that Zhang Tianyuan had specially selected.
"Boss, I mean really, I can really give you half of the money. Lancelot is not stupid, nor is he generous, he is just showing loyalty, because he knows that if he follows Zhang Tianyuan, then his future income will definitely be more than five million US dollars, he is a smart person, he naturally knows how to measure, let alone give half, even if it is all to Zhang Tianyuan, he gritted his teeth and admitted it.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, I said don't want it, you still take it seriously if you joke with you. I'll be mad if you bring it up again. By the way, you've been sitting here for so long that you haven't thought about taking a picture?"
"I had something I wanted to take, but I didn't dare because I wasn't sure if it was real. Lancelot hesitated.
"What's that?"
"It's a sword, an ordinary looking sword, but it's handed down from our ancestors, when my father was hit and killed, he still had the sword in his hand, but the police said he hadn't seen it, I suspected that it was picked up, or it was simply embezzled by the police, but today, I saw it at the auction......"
To be honest, Lancelot, who got five million US dollars, definitely has the ability to auction the Western sword, but he has never made a move, because he is worried that he will lose his eyes, so he has been waiting for Zhang Tianyuan, anyway, the sword is a failed auction, and it will definitely be taken out and re-auctioned later, there is still a chance.
Zhang Tianyuan felt that this was just a gesture, so he said with a smile: "I know what you mean, you just want me to see if the thing is real, right, I'll help you, but how much does that thing cost?"
As soon as Lancelot heard that Zhang Tianyuan was willing to help, he immediately showed ecstasy and said: "The thing is not expensive, the starting price is only 200,000 euros, but no one is asking for the price, probably because they all think it is expensive, so in the end the auction was lost." ”
"This auction house doesn't even have a childcare?"
"There must be childcare, but for something unpopular like this, no one else is bidding, and if you suddenly ask for a price, it is easy to expose your identity, so childcare didn't make a move. Lancelot replied.
"Also, I guess your family's ancestral Western sword shouldn't be too good, I understand, let's focus on the auction, that thing will appear again later, you just need to notify me." ”
"Hmm!"
At this time, Zhang Tianyuan had time to observe this huge auction hall.
This hall is very large, about 10,000 square meters, it is almost the same as the United Nations, sitting all kinds of people, etc., after all, this is also a hodgepodge auction, in addition to Chinese antiques, there are also Egyptian, Greek, Indian and Western art auctions, so there are a lot of participants, he roughly calculated, it is estimated that there are not 10,000, there are 7 or 8,000 people.
Because Zhang Tianyuan's position is relatively high, when he sat down, he attracted a lot of people's attention, many people didn't know him, but there were many people who knew him.
For example, Amer Sloan, John Lampard, Bill Gates, Wang Siyuan's father, Abramovich, Ms. Picasso, etc., all nodded at him, and he smiled back.
There were also people who seemed to be businessmen from China, and these people knew Zhang Tianyuan, but Zhang Tianyuan didn't know them.
Unless Zhang Tianyuan has direct plastic surgery, his face has become a celebrity in the Chinese media, and there are really not many people who don't know him.
Lancelot was surprised and proud at this time, he already thought that Zhang Tianyuan was amazing, and when he saw that Zhang Tianyuan actually knew all the rich people in the world, his little heart couldn't help beating violently.
I can't imagine what a powerful character I am with.
"Gentlemen, ladies, our auction has been going on for three hours, then you can rest for a while, five minutes later, the auction continues, I am the host of this auction, Giessen Ben, it is a pleasure to serve you!" Zhang Tianyuan just sat down, but he didn't expect the auction to be about to rest, he was a little speechless, but it was only five minutes, and the chat passed, so it didn't matter if he thought about it.
But in these five minutes, many people came to him for autographs, and he once again felt helpless as a celebrity.
There are even several reporters from domestic TV stations and newspapers, who originally came to the UK to cover the auction, but now that they meet Zhang Tianyuan, they also think of another idea. (To be continued......)
