There are many priceless things in the world. For example, love, for example, freedom, for example, dignity, for example, art.

Art is priceless, but art has a price. The artist who creates art and the merchant who buys and sells art are two sides of the same coin, and without the artist there would be no art dealer, and similarly, if there was no art dealer, the artist would starve to death.

It's like why are antiques valuable? Who sets the price? Why does everyone agree with the price?

How can a porcelain bowl, no matter how beautiful and meaningful it is, be worth more than a house? How colorful is a painting so colorful that people are willing to believe that it is worth the price of a yacht?

The value of antiques lies in the judgment of appraisers and experts and scholars, otherwise ordinary people don't care what dynasty it is, and it may not be as good as a coarse porcelain bowl to hold noodles.

And how much a painting is worth depends not only on its author's fame, but also on its topicality.

Zhao Lin's next plan for Wenzhu was to spread Carmen Lee's fame and connect his paintings with some recent events.

Zhao Lin went to meet Ouyang Lei, and Wen Zhu took Carmen Li on the plane to England.

Her target is an earl named Robert.

Because this guy has lived for a long time, he has a high status in the British royal family, and even the queen has to call him uncle.

But the older he gets, the more confused he becomes, and he has to maintain his status as a knight despite the loss of income, and recently had to hold a small auction within the British aristocracy, and sell one of his castles to pay off his debts.

Thunder also bought a number of royal collections from his butler, which were only available to the British aristocracy, to decorate his villa. The old pai jue didn't spend much money, and he couldn't even pay the wages of the servants at home, so the housekeeper could only find a way to earn a pension for himself.

Wen Zhu only spent 70,000 pounds to reach a deal with the butler, who had recognized the situation, and was successfully invited by the Earl to his last castle.

The old earl readily accepted the butler's suggestion, accepted a pure-blooded BMW sent by Wen Zhu, and promised to help her build momentum.

It's just that the old earl has passed his prime, so Wenzhu and Carmen Li lived in the castle for three days, and they didn't even see the old earl's face. If it weren't for the butler's assurance, Wen Zhu would have suspected that he had met the descendants of pirates.

However, on the fourth day, Wen Zhu, who saw the newspaper, finally laughed, and then said goodbye to the housekeeper and flew back to Xiangjiang. Although the old earl was a little arrogant, he still knew the truth of being soft.

On the Queen's birthday, Lord Robert, who can be the Queen's uncle by generation, presented a painting from the East. The author of this painting is a talented painter who has only recently emerged - Carmen Lee, whose experience can be adapted into a film.

As a teenager, he entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in England and graduated with honors. Later, he was humiliated and unjustly imprisoned in that closed red country. However, he did not give up his pursuit of art, and in such an environment, he continued to hone his painting skills, and finally became famous in Hong Kong.

His paintings are not only brilliant in color and skill, but also full of the struggle against fate, the desire for freedom, and the brilliance of human nature everywhere.

The people of Xiangjiang under the Queen's rule all praised him, and his paintings were priceless there from the beginning, and some people even couldn't ask for a high price of 20 million.

This bizarre story, in the hands of a group of journalists who received money, was sold all over Britain overnight, and it is still spreading further throughout Europe.

Carmen Lee's orthodox schooling and his tragic experience in the mysterious land of the East were like magnets for curious Europeans.

Carmen Lee received countless invitations to speak at once, and Wenzhu also received countless invitations to art exhibitions.

White worship has always been very popular in the modern East, and this is especially true in Xiangjiang, which is severely Westernized. Wenzhu spent a lot of effort in Xiangjiang, and he could only fry the half-popular Carmen Lee, which was sought after by the Europeans, and exploded in Xiangjiang in an instant.

When the news came back to Xiangjiang from Europe, Zhao Lin locked Carmen Li in a studio, painting day and night, but still couldn't keep up with the speed of selling paintings.

In the end, Carmen Lee had to change from realism to abstraction, and the speed of painting was forced to triple before he could barely eliminate the accumulated orders.

Since receiving the praise from Europe, Carmen Lee's paintings have become so famous that even those who don't realize that they are going bankrupt can't help but want to take one and hide it at home.

The offshore companies that Zhao Lin had registered before also came in handy, these shell companies cross-controlled each other, and no one could figure out who the boss behind them was. The company that specializes in making art, the employees in the office are all foreign devils, and it looks like such a high-end atmosphere.

Wherever Wen Zhu went, he was followed by three or five foreign devil secretaries, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance. Coupled with the recycling protocol that seems to be quite reliable, the more people come to buy paintings, the more people want to buy paintings.

There are still many people who don't know what they want to buy and can't see, so they can only spread rumors made up everywhere, as if everyone has hysteria together.

With the help of these melon-eating masses, Carmen Li's paintings are even more expensive a day in the outside world, although a large part of them are the false fire that Zhao Lin asked Wenzhu to arch outside. But because none of these paintings are sold to the public, no one can tell whether the prices on the market are real or fake.

The discounts of this kind of agreement sales are deducted more and more, and the last batch of people who come to buy paintings are already about to be deducted by half, but the rhythm of sending money to Zhao Lin's arms has not stopped.

The reason why the paintings are only sold to this group of people is because these people will definitely not transfer the paintings when they buy them. In this case, no one knows how many paintings were sold, except for a few of their own people.

"The money is in hand, where are you going?" Wen Zhu received the money during this time, and now he naturally thought that Zhao Lin's next step was to run away, so he asked as soon as he saw him.

Her thinking still hasn't jumped out of that kind of charlatan, and her nature of taking a shot and changing places has limited her thinking.

Zhao Lin calculated the account and said, "It's still too little, it's not enough at all." ”

This money is just the beginning, and only by letting this money give birth to cubs can this scam turn gorgeously and turn into a business that can be done for a long time.

Running away with money, the benefits and risks are too mismatched, and tens of millions of Hong Kong paper is not worth Zhao Lin's reputation.
