Chapter 203: The Way of the Painter
"Haha, this wine is called XO, which is what we usually call brandy! This is a famous French wine! Of course, it is also a world-famous wine.
There are many types of brandy, and XO is the top of these types, and it can be said that it is one of the most high-grade liquors among foreign liquors! Just this bottle of XO, it costs 10,000 RMB!
But the degree of this liquor is not high, only between 30 and 40 degrees. And China's well-known liquors, such as Moutai and Wuliangye, are above 50 degrees! And the well-known Russian liquor vodka has a degree of 70 degrees!
In this comparison, the degree of brandy XO is the lowest, so it can be said that this is a fairly mild liquor! At this level, you are still not used to drinking, it seems that you are a person who is not good at drinking! ”
While drinking, Chen Tian told Xu Hong some knowledge of world-famous wines. Xu Hong listened and couldn't stop nodding!
"Oh, this is XO! I've heard of it, but I haven't drunk it! This time, it's a lesson! ”
Xu Hong was telling the truth, of course he had heard of this world-famous wine before, but this wine was very expensive, and of course he couldn't afford to drink it.
"Master Xu, you are a country, and it is normal that you are not good at drinking! It's not like I'm a businessman, if I don't know how to drink, then I can't mix in the business at all!
Actually, I don't like to drink either, it's all forced out! No one is born to be a drinker! Isn't that like painting? Are they all practiced? ”
Chen Tian continued to chat with Xu Hong while drinking.
"Boss Chen, you don't just want to tell me this! You must want to say something else! Xu Hong felt that people like Chen Tian would not eat and drink with him purely to meet a friend! They're the kind of people. has been in the business for a long time, and all the meals have another meaning!
"Haha, Master Xu, you are really a smart person! Honestly, I'm going to ask you for a drink. There is indeed something going on! But I don't even know how to speak! Chen Tian glanced at Xu Hong and poured Xu Hong another glass of wine. I poured myself a glass. Then he picked up the wine glass and touched a glass with Xu Hong.
"Boss Chen, if you have anything to say, just say it. You are a big boss, I am a little painter, you are in front of me, there is no need to be polite! Xu Hong finished drinking the wine in the wine glass, and then looked at Chen Tian politely.
"That's right. Ever since I saw the full version of your painting "Fuchun Mountain Residence" at the art exhibition that day, I feel that you are a rare genius painter! You are so young, and your painting skills are so amazing, then your future is infinitely bright! Chen Tian didn't know what he wanted to say, but he praised Xu Hong again.
"Boss Chen, if you have something to say, you spent 10 million to collect one of my paintings. This is already a great favor for me! You don't need to be embarrassed in front of me at all, are you asking me to do something! You just say. As long as I, Xu Hong, can do something, I will definitely agree to you. ”
Xu Hong looked at Chen Tian's expression, feeling that he seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say it, so he felt that it was not this old guy. What do you want to do yourself?
Think about it, he is a big boss, and he is just a small painter, what can people ask him to do!
"That's right, Master Xu. I admire your talent! I want to make you a first-class painter in the country, what do you think? ”
After meeting his teacher, Chen Tian returned to the hotel.
He had thought that there was nothing to do, and he could return to the capital.
But suddenly I thought of Xu Hong's matter again.
He thought that after he returned to the capital, he would contact Xu Hong after a while! I think that in the future, I will slowly build Xu Hong, a rising star!
But when I think about it, it's not right. Because after he returned to the capital, he might not be in contact with Xu Hong.
Tiannan City is far away from the capital, more than 1,000 kilometers away! It's not easy to make a round trip, although it's only a few hours away by plane. But after all, it's not in the same city, and it's inconvenient to interact with each other!
Also, Chen Tian thought, if he can have such thoughts, then others may also have such thoughts! There are also some big collectors in Tiannan City, and there are many big collectors in Beijing, if they also find Xu Hong's talent, they also want to create this talent.
Then when I want to contact Xu Hong, maybe people will already be 'good' with other collectors! Then it can be his turn Chen Tian!
So Chen Tian had the idea of being afraid of long nights and dreams, so he wanted to simply bring Xu Hong directly when he returned to the capital this time, so that he would be completely relieved.
But how can you bring Xu Hong to the capital! Xu Hong is not the same thing, you can bring it however you want!
Xu Hong is a man, a painter. If you want to bring someone with you, you have to discuss it with them first!
So Chen Tian set up such a high-end dinner, wanting to convince Xu Hong to go to the capital with him to develop!
"What, you want to make me a first-class painter in the country. This-this-is it true! When Xu Hong heard Chen Tian's words, he was really surprised!
You must know that the road to fame of a painter is, in a sense, similar to the road to fame of a star.
In other words, in order to become an artist, first of all, you have to know a 'Bole' who can make you famous!
There is a good saying, life needs opportunities, and life needs nobles. Only when you meet some noble people who appreciate your talent can you break into high society, become famous and have a family, and then gain fame and fortune.
A star's path to fame is often like this. When a small actor is appreciated by a big director, that is the beginning of his success.
As long as you can star in a film by a big director and play the leading role in it, there is a great possibility of becoming famous.
And a painter is like this, if you want to become famous, you have to be praised by someone. So what kind of person would praise a painter!
Could it be those big directors! Obviously not, they and the painters are not all the way. They just like actors with good acting skills, not painters with good drawing skills.
The people who can beat painters are, of course, some big collectors.
They are the most direct beneficiaries of the painter's work. As long as the painter they support becomes a well-known painter, then the works of this painter they have collected before. That will follow the value of the painter rising, and the tide will rise!
Of course, there are also many collectors, not to hold some painters, but to collect the works of some third-rate painters, and then wait for these works to appreciate!
Such an approach. It is also possible to make a fortune. Because, as long as you are lucky, a third-rate painter in the collection, his identity has suddenly changed a lot in a short period of time.
For example, this third-rate painter held an exhibition, and then his paintings were praised by many experts. As a result, his fame would skyrocket, and the price of his paintings would skyrocket.
If only you had collected a few of his works before this exhibition was held. Then you just wait to get rich!
This is a way to make money, although it is also possible. But apparently more passive. The success rate is also very low.
Because this is pure luck! It's like buying a lottery ticket! It's pure luck to make a fortune!
Although it depends on luck, as long as there are many people who buy, there will always be people who win the jackpot! That's why the lottery market can stay forever. Because, there will always be someone who wins the jackpot, and it will always continue to attract the public to return money to the lottery box.
This method of pure luck is not only found in the lottery market. It's the same in the stock market. Many retail investors make their money on this method. They don't have their own opinions. If you make money by looking at what stocks others buy, you will also buy what stocks you buy. Look at what stocks others buy and lose money. They quickly threw away the stock in their hands.
Such people are ordinary people who have no opinions. This method of making money purely by luck can be said to be a relatively stupid method. In the end, it's like waiting for a rabbit!
We all know the story of waiting for the rabbit, as long as you go to school, everyone knows such a story. Everyone knows the story. It is to laugh at those who have no opinions, do not think, and will only hang themselves from a tree.
But in real life, I don't know how many people will always make such mistakes! It can be said that in the lottery market. And in the stock market, such people abound!
There is a good saying, it is called, mediocre people wait for opportunities, smart people create opportunities. For a truly wise man, opportunities do not fall from the sky, they are created by themselves.
The people who really make money in the stock market will not be those retail investors who wait and see, but those who know inside information and those who hold a lot of money to become stock market makers. They are not eating by luck, they are creating luck. Change from passive to active, never wait for the rabbit, waiting for pie to fall from the sky.
It's the same in the circle of painters. If you want to become a well-known painter, you need to have a big collector to support you!
This big collector is similar to the big directors in the entertainment industry and the big main force in the stock market. They don't just eat by luck, I think this young man is good, and then I collect his work and it's over.
If this young man becomes a great painter in a few years, he will make a lot of money. But if this young man didn't become a great painter, he wouldn't have lost much money. After all, the work of a third-rate painter is not worth a few bucks at all.
Obviously, there is not much point in doing so. And the chances of success are too small. After all, it is never easy for a third-rate painter to become a first-rate painter.
It's like an actor, if you want to become a big star, it's definitely not an easy task. Even if someone praises you, you may not be famous. Not to mention, if no one praises you, then you are less likely to be famous.
As a big collector, that's all too clear.
Therefore, as a big collector, I will never be a person who waits for the rabbit, they are all 'big directors' and 'big main forces'. If they fall in love with that third-rate painter, they must spare no effort to praise him as a first-class painter!
In this way, no matter how much effort they put into this painter at the beginning, in the end, they may get dozens or even hundreds of times the return.
Chen Tian, as an old man who has been in the collecting circle for more than 20 years, knows too well these 'cats' in the collecting circle.
He has been in the capital for so many years, and he has personally beaten several painters! It is precisely because he has a great vision and can see the potential of a painter, so as long as it is a young painter that Chen Tian has a crush on, he will definitely be able to make him popular. And then get a huge reward from it.
Chen Tian also relied on this ability to continue to grow bigger and stronger in the collection circle of the capital!
In fact, everyone knows that if a big collector just wants to make a fortune by picking up leaks, it is almost the same as winning the lottery, which is an unreliable thing.
It can be said that in the antique market, there are very few things of real value. In the antique market, in those mountains of antique calligraphy and paintings, there may not even be one in 10,000 real works.
Chen Tian, if he relied on his eyesight to pick up the leaks, he would not be able to earn more than a billion dollars. The reason why he was able to earn a billion net worth. The main thing is that he is good at spotting some excellent talents. And not some excellent works.
In the line of antique calligraphy and painting, there are very few works that are really showy. There can be a few of those priceless hand-me-down paintings.
Even these few famous paintings are difficult to circulate in the market. Either in this national museum, or in a provincial museum. There are very few famous paintings that can be circulated in the market.
Therefore, collectors who want to make a fortune in collecting famous paintings can only find another way.
There are too few famous paintings in ancient times. It's not easy to collect them. It's also unreliable to make a fortune from them.
Only collecting the works of modern painters is a more reliable thing. But there is a premise that the painter of your collection of paintings must have a space to continue to improve his popularity.
Only this painter is very well-known, and the price of his works has skyrocketed. Then the paintings in your collection can rise to the top, and you will make a fortune with it.
Most famous collectors know this. What they want to do is to be a 'Bole'.
They know that when they meet Maxima, that is, when they start to operate a market storm, become a 'trader', become a big director, become a big main force, start to create 'stars', and make a lot of money. (To be continued.) )
