Chapter 638: Looking for clues
Qian Yongchang listened to Cheng Yihai's words, but he still didn't let go. Although the price has reached 400,000. Qian Yongchang still didn't nod.
"Old Qian, what do you mean by this, I have already raised the money to 400,000, why don't you let go! How much money do you want, you can make a price!"
Cheng Yihai is rich anyway, and he raised the price to 400,000 in a while. But even so, Qian Yongchang did not agree.
"Lao Cheng, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you, it's just that I also love this painting very much!" To be honest, Qian Yongchang also has a love for the art of painting, after all, he is also a figure in the art world. Of course, Qian Yongjing's surname is Qian, and for him, money is the most important thing, and art is only the second thing.
Qian Yongchang didn't want to sell this work, but he wanted a higher price, so he pretended to like Xu Hong's work very much. His purpose is to want Cheng Yihai to raise the price again.
Cheng Yihai also knew Qian Yongchang and knew that he just wanted to ask himself for more money! So, after Qian Yongchang said such things again, Cheng Yihai generously stretched out a hand in front of Qian Yongchang. He looked at Qian Yongchang and said, "Old Qian, I'll give you this amount, right? 500,000! This is the price of the works of our first-class painters in the capital." If you sell Xu Hong's works to me, you will definitely not suffer. If you don't sell it to me, and you want to sell your work to someone else, no one will want to pay you such a high price. ”
After listening to Cheng Yihai's words, Qian Yongchang hesitated, so he had to look at Cheng Yihai and smile: "Okay, since you are so obsessed with this, I have no choice but to sell it to you." ”
"Okay, thank you so much, Brother Qian. Cheng Yihai saw that Qian Yongchang finally agreed, and he also laughed happily.
In this way, Cheng Yihai spent 500,000 yuan to buy the painting back from Qian Yongchang's hands. In fact, for Cheng Yihai, he doesn't really like Xu Hong's works, he just feels that Xu Hong's works are very potential. Just thinking about Xu Hong's works, one day, they can be sold for millions of dollars. In that case, he didn't say he spent 500,000 today, even if he spent 1 million, it would be worth it.
Besides, Xu Hong has already felt that this time's 'National Youth Painting Competition' must be boring. And, he guessed it too. This time, it is very likely that it is Cheng Yihai. After all, he just doesn't want Xu Hong to win the first place, so he wants his son to win the first place!
"What should I do, how should I fight with Cheng Yihai!"
After Xu Hong thought of this, he was thinking about how he was going to fight against Cheng Yihai. But when he thought about it, he felt that he was just an ordinary student, and he was not Cheng Yihai's opponent at all!
Xu Hong has been thinking about this for the past few days, and he wants to find someone who can help him. Originally, he wanted to use Li Wenhai to help get his paintings out of Cheng Yihai's hands! But after listening to Li Wenhai's words, he felt that it was impossible for him to complete this task for himself. He has to do this himself!
Thinking about it, he thought of a person. This person was none other than Chen Tian! Xu Hong knew that he had defeated the black bear with the help of Chen Tian before. Now he can only tell Chen Tian what he encountered, then he may help himself.
Thinking of this, Xu Hong immediately made a call to Chen Tian. After Chen Tian received Xu Hong's call, he asked him what was the matter. Xu Hong told Chen Tian what he had encountered. When Chen Tian heard this, he said to Xu Hong: "Xu Hong, you have encountered such a thing! This matter is a little difficult to handle! However, since it is your business, I will help you." In this way, we haven't had a drink together for a few days, so let's sit down together and have two drinks, and then let's discuss it together!"
Xu Hong also felt that this matter could not be explained in a few words, so it was better to sit with Chen Tian and talk about it.
In this way, Xu Hong and Chen Tian sat down in a private room in a hotel.
At this time, Chen Tian looked at Xu Hong again and said: "Xu Hong, with your talent, how can you still get the top three results in this 'National Youth Painting Competition'! Now, you have only won the tenth place, which shows that this time the 'National Youth Painting Competition'." That must have been manipulated. There must be abnormal shady trading in this. ”
Chen Tian is also very clear about such a competition. He Xu Honghe talent is also very clear. Since Xu Hong's work only won the tenth place in such a competition, it means that someone must be secretly manipulating this competition.
"Boss Chen, I think so too, but I can't care about this matter. People are powerful figures, and I'm just an ordinary student. People want to manipulate this 'big game'. I can't help it. I just thought that if I could get my painting back, it would be my painstaking work! If this falls into the hands of some corrupt elements, I am very unwilling!" Xu Hong first talked about his psychological feelings.
After Chen Tian listened to Xu Hong's words, he also echoed and said: "Xu Hong, what you said is very right, your works are all high-quality, and this cannot fall into the hands of some corrupt elements." ”
"That's why I want Boss Chen to help me, if you can get my paintings back, then forget it." I'm going to give this painting to you, Boss Chen. For me, this painting is also considered my masterpiece. But it doesn't make sense for me to hold it. It's better to put it here to Boss Chen, I'm more at ease!"
Xu Hong also knew that if Boss Chen helped him get this out of the way, then he wouldn't be able to let Jiabai help him, and he would definitely have to express his gratitude to others! And he also knew that Chen Tian admired his talent very much, and he also liked his work very much! Now that people can ask him to get this painting back, then he can only give this piece of his own work to Chen Tian.
Chen Tian listened to Xu Hong's words, and he was very happy. However, he was also embarrassed, so he directly asked for Xu Hong's work, and he still looked at Xu Hong very politely and said: "Xu Hong, don't say that, I will help you, and that is also right." I'll help you get this painting back, but you don't have to thank me for it, just treat me to a meal. ”
Xu Hong listened to Chen Tian's words, and said again: "No, Boss Chen, this painting is also a little important to me. But in my hands, it's useless. It's better to put it there for you, but it's still useful. ”
After listening to Xu Hong's words, Chen Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, since you say so, then I'll ask you for this painting back first." As for whether I collect it myself or return it to its original owner, then I'll wait until I get the painting back!"
"Thank you, Boss Chen, I know that Boss Chen will definitely be able to help me. Xu Hong listened to Chen Tian's words, and said happily again. "Xu Hong, don't say that, these old guys, they manipulate the 'National Youth Painting Competition' like this. This is also too much. To be honest, in the previous 'National Youth Painting Competition', I knew that they were secretly manipulating this 'National Youth Painting Competition'. It's just that at that time, I didn't have any grudges with these people, so I didn't have the same knowledge as them. But this time it was different, he actually bullied my nephew. I'm sorry, I'll have to settle accounts with them. ”
Chen Tian is also unaccustomed to these people. I was thinking about how to defeat these people and clean them up.
"Uncle Chen, since you think so, then I also support you in doing so, after all, they manipulated this important 'National Youth Painting Competition' in this way. This will bring a huge loss to the art industry of the whole country. If this continues, the entire art world will become a place where corruption breeds. ”
Xu Hong was originally a person with a sense of justice, and he thought that since Chen Tian was willing to fight against these lawbreakers, then of course he would have to support others.
"Xu Hong, you're right, I just want to fight against these outlaws, who manipulate such a major competition every year. In the long run, the painters who have entered the art world have not all become indiscriminate painters. If this continues, the atmosphere of our entire art world will not be completely ruined by these old guys. ”
Chen Tian was originally a person full of a sense of justice, but now after hearing what happened to Xu Hong, he was also very angry.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to Uncle Chen. Xu Hong listened to Chen Tian's words and once again expressed his gratitude to others.
In this way, after Chen Tian and Xu Hong discussed, they began to think about how to get Xu Hong's works back, and to defeat all these old guys and bring them all to justice!
When Chen Tian was discussing this matter with Xu Hong just now, he also asked Xu Hong what kind of work he painted this time. Whose hands is this work now?
Xu Hong told Chen Tian about the "Mona Lisa" he painted. And said that the painting was in the hands of those judges. But in whose hands it was, he didn't know.
After Chen Tian learned about this situation, he thought that now he had to investigate first, and Xu Hong's work was in the hands of that old guy. After that, I just want to find a way to bring Xu Hong's work back.
Although Chen Tian is not very familiar with these old guys of the organizing committee. But his Chen Tian's name is also well-known in the art world of the capital. These old guys, even no one doesn't know who Chen Tian is!
So, Chen Tian invited one of these old guys to dinner first. Later, I learned from him that Xu Hong's works were collected by Qian Yongchang, a deputy leader of their organizing committee.
You know, when they collect the top 10 works of this 'competition'. I divided the ten paintings together. Whoever took that painting. Everyone else knows. Even some people may not remember who got the painting. But the top works of these ten works, in whose hands, they must remember it very well.
Among the top 10 works in this 'competition', only the works of Xu Hong and Cheng Ming are the most outstanding. In particular, Xu Hong's works were originally the best works that they agreed to be. Now this work is in the collection of their deputy team leader Qian Yongchang. Of course they all know about it.
Chen Tian now invited a member of the organizing committee to have a meal, and he got the news. After he got the news, of course, he continued to invite people to dinner.
Through the relationship between the team members, Chen Tian contacted Qian Yongchang again, and immediately invited Qian Yongchang out for a meal. Now Chen Tian and Qian Yongchang sat down in a private room in a big hotel.
At the beginning, when Chen Tian said that he wanted to invite Qian Yongchang to dinner, he didn't say that he wanted Xu Hong's work, he just said that he wanted to get to know Qian Yongchang. After all, Qian Yongchang is the vice president of the 'Beijing Artists Association', which is also a figure with a head and face in Beijing.
As a big collector in the capital, Chen Tian is naturally willing to make friends with a big man like Qian Yongchang.
After Chen Tian and Qian Yongchang sat down, he first asked the waiter to serve some good wine and food, and Qian Yongchang first drank a few glasses of wine and ate for a while. This wine has passed three rounds, and the dish has passed five flavors. Chen Tiancai looked at Qian Yongchang and said, "Old Qian, that's the case, I heard that before you heard about you, you collected the works of one of the contestants in this 'competition'. Is that the case in your collection? Chen Tian pretended not to know, so he asked first.
Qian Yongchang listened to Chen Tian's words, and was stunned for a moment. After that, he said with a smile: "Why, Boss Chen is also interested in the works of these student babies." ”
"Yes! You know, I'm just a collector, these student babies, although not very good today, but maybe tomorrow will be a big painter! These student babies, those are all potential stocks! Of course, I also want to catch a potential stock. Chen Tian looked at Qian Yongchang and said with a smile.
"Haha, you're right, I think the same way as you. You're right, I have a collection of works, which is Xu Hong's "Mona Lisa". This work is so well painted that when I look at it, I feel that there is a lot of room for appreciation in the future of this work. So, I collected this work first. ”
Qian Yongchang listened to Chen Tian's words, and said this first. After all, he also knew that it didn't matter what he said now.
