"For Shenma?" said Erfat, puzzled.

Li Tong smiled and didn't speak.

The "Water Lilies" he painted before is the representative work of the impressionist painter Monet.

Li Tong didn't want to give the café a complicated name, let alone a foreign name.

How many people can pronounce Starbucks accurately, everyone is not called "Starbucks".

After hearing Li Tong get the name of the café, the landlord who was about to leave suddenly stopped.

The name "Impression Cafe" does sound atmospheric and easy to remember, and the name is comparable to that of a coffee chain in the United States.

After all, "carving time" is still a bit deliberate, and it is not as good as the impression café with a sense of meaning and time.

The landlord was a little surprised, Li Tong, a young man, looked inconspicuous, but he could take out a check for 2.5 million casually, and he was also very good at doing things.

Most of the people who value money too seriously will not be able to achieve great things, and most of the people who are not obsessed with money are not idle people.

"Come, come, come, lad. The landlord was interested, and beckoned to Li Tong, "Come here, I'll talk to you about something." ”

"Huh. You say. Li Tong walked over.

The landlord took Li Tong to the door of the store, pointed to the long street at the door, and said, "Young man, this is the lot of Sanlitun, and I won't tell you, this street is mine." ”

"Yes. Li Tong nodded.

Sure enough, they all said that when they went to the south, they knew that they had little money, and when they arrived in the capital, they knew that they were small. The capital is really a dragon, and the landlord is such a lewd uncle, and it is billions of assets casually.

"Young man, I'm telling you this because the boss just said that the real economy is not easy to do. No, even with these two years, my rent is not easy to collect. “

Li Tong thought that the landlord wanted to sit on the ground and increase the price, so he said with some displeasure: "Boss, you are doing big business, and we have signed the contract." You're not going to want to change your mind now, are you?"

Seeing Li Tong's resistance, the landlord immediately understood that he was afraid that he would increase the price, so he explained: "It is impossible to increase the price, and the contract has been signed." This street is all mine, why should I pit you a post-90s? To put it mildly, at my age, I can almost be your grandfather. What are you doing bullying a hairy kid?"

"Then ...... you mean?" Li Tong was puzzled.

"Young man, I don't think you look like an idle person. The landlord said, "If you open a café and can bring prosperity to my street, I will give you half of the rent." ”

Li Tong smiled slightly, took out a Nanjing, and handed it to the landlord: "Why do you think I'm not an idle person, I don't want to bother you to look away." ”

The landlord took the cigarette, held it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Hey, you little hairy boy, how many years have I been in the business? ”

Li Tong took out a lighter and lit a cigarette by himself, "I have nothing but the smell of cigarettes." ”

Seeing that Li Tong didn't give face, the landlord was a little embarrassed, took the cigarette out of his mouth again, pinned it to his ear, and turned around to leave.

"Uncle Landlord, did you mean what you just said?" Li Tong spat out a smoke ring and stopped him.

"Nonsense! It's been a long time! Of course it's true!"

The landlord is estimated to be the head snake in this area, and he is used to being served, but today it is rare to be condescended to dignity, and Li Tong still doesn't give face, so his tone is impatient.

"That's fine. Give me half a year. Li Tong smiled confidently, turned around and entered the store with a cigarette in his mouth.

The old gun was not as dragged as Li Tong, thinking that it was better for the landlord not to offend, so he took out his own lighter and lit it for the landlord to light it.

The landlord glanced at the old gun, and finally came to a sensible person, who tired him for half a day.

"What's the origin of this kid?" asked the landlord with a cigarette and a casual finger at Li Tong.

"Those who engage in art, those who engage in art. The old gun smiled.

"I said, if you are so ignorant, you can also engage in art. The landlord took a heavy puff on his cigarette.

The old gun is smiling on the surface, but in his heart he is actually unhappy to death, what's wrong with those who engage in art, why should those who engage in art not be sensible? My old gun is also engaged in art.

But the landlord is not to blame for this, the land lord of Sanlitun, how many people are stammering, not because he is the landlord.

Rather, what kind of location can there be a street here, either the ancestor is Lord Belle, or the background is very deep.

After sending the landlord three roads, the old gun turned around and returned to the store.

I saw Li Tong motionless at the empty shop, as if he was thinking about something. The second fat squatted on the ground next to him and smoked, but he didn't say a word.

"What are you two doing?" asked the old gun.

"I'm thinking about how to set it up. Li Tong replied casually.

"The layout is not simple, anyway, you have money, and the expensive ones can attract people. The old gun didn't take it seriously, and then said.

Li Tong immediately shook his head: "Big brother, you have to figure out the purpose of everything you do." I'm going to open an art café, not a money café. ”

The old gun smiled: "When the money is in place, the sense of art will come." It's all the same. ”

Li Tong glared at him and didn't speak.

Lao Gun saw that Li Tong's face was not joking, so he immediately changed his tone and said: "Actually, the decoration is secondary, the key is the theme and artwork." ”

"Just now you said it's called 'Impression Cafe', I think the theme should be clear, and the elements should not be too mixed. The old gun continued.

"Well, that's what I thought, too. Li Tong crossed his waist and nodded.

"Why don't you bring "Water Lilies" here?" Er Fat proposed, "As long as "Water Lilies" is hung in the store, it will be an absolute treasure of the town store!"

"But just one painting of "Water Lilies" is far from enough, it is too lonely. Can't hold the field. The old gun added.

"Then draw a few more. Li Tong thought for a moment and looked at the empty wall in front of him and said.

There are so many paintings by the Impressionists, Li Tong casually wrote a few and hung them in the store, and the artistic atmosphere of the café didn't come out immediately?

It is comparable to the café of the Louvre, only Li is the same, and there is no branch.

For the next three full months, the café went into a lengthy renovation process.

Li Tong made a very simple hard decoration, painted white walls all around, collected a batch of old mahogany floors from Gusu on the ground, and used Nordic artek furniture for furniture.

Erfat and Lao Gun supervise the work on the front line every day, while Li Tong paints silently in the studio on the second floor of the villa where he is located.

From Manet's Luncheon on the Grass and The Piper Boy, to Alfred Sisley's The Boat in the Flood, to Monet's Sunrise Impression, Water Lilies, and Renoir's The Ball at the Moulin Rouge, as well as Cézanne's The Bay of Estek and Still Life Apple Basket, Li Tong has been silent about Impressionist paintings.

However, Li Tong also set a flag for himself, although there are no more famous paintings in this world, but silent painting is still suspected of plagiarizing intellectual property rights, so Li Tong will no longer rely on his signature to sell paintings for money.

These words were written silently, and Li Tong just wanted to hang them in the café to decorate the atmosphere.
