Chapter 231: A Word Is a Certainty
The foot-picking man surnamed Du also came over, and patted Wang Yan's shoulder familiarly: "My brother has eyesight!" I've been painting this painting for six or seven years and no one has seen it, but this is my proudest work! ā
Seeing the big man and the rudeness, Wang Yan also said unscrupulously: "Do you know how to do business?" You've been taking it for six or seven years and no one wants it, is there something wrong with my aesthetics? ā
"This..."The big man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "It's someone else who doesn't know the goods!" This is one of my most felt works, but no one recognizes it! ā
At this time, Li Zijing walked in, carrying a large bag of banknotes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Why are you here to deliver the money?" Wang Yan was a little surprised.
"Uncle Hu is out of town, let my master come over to deliver money, and my master sent me over again!" Li Zijing replied, "Uncle Wang, what good things did you buy?" Don't you just sell art to make money, and never spend money on art? ā
Wang Yan smiled awkwardly: "Isn't this a friend's opening a show?" Then he changed the topic, pointed to the "Rescue" and said: "100,000 yuan, how about it?" ā
Li Zijing went over to look at it carefully, then nodded and shook his head.
"How?" Wang Yan asked again.
"It's a pity! On painting skills, on artistic conception, there is passion and mood in it, this painting is a rare masterpiece, but the subject matter is unlucky! If the subject matter is pleasing to the eye, this painting is worth 200,000 yuan! Li Zijing was born in a family of jade carvers, and he has a lot of contact with artworks, and he has a good understanding of art appreciation, which is very pertinent, but when he forgot to speak, he commented in front of the author, which is a bit out of place in this circle. I didn't see the antique circle and saw the fake, I won't say it directly, but vaguely say "I can't see it", "I can't get it", I want to say good things in front of people, which is a part of traditional culture and a very practical communication skill.
"The young man knows the goods!" The surname Du Dahan didn't care, "This is a mining accident I experienced back then, and I didn't plan to sell it at that time, so I didn't think about anything about the subject matter, isn't it something at home that needs money!" ā
"Can you show me the rest of your work?" Li Zijing has a good impression of the straightforwardness of the big man, and he also changed his words to honorifics.
"Boy, you're here today, I've been here here for half my life!" Dahan was recognized, and his heart was happy, and his voice became louder and louder.
Other painters and visitors were attracted to it.
Wang Yan handed over the money bag: "Let's get down to business first!" Since the old brother is waiting for the money, it is 100,000 yuan, and there is no need to change! ā
"How embarrassing that is! Well, I'll give you another little painting! "Dahan doesn't owe favors.
"It's good!" Wang Yan was also not polite.
Naturally, there is a gallery of paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and the Han wants to paint on the spot.
I saw that the big man didn't take a posture, looked at the drawing paper, and drew with a pen, all in one go.
A picture of a child peeing on the page: a little boy urinating in a distant pond under a few wisps of weeping willows, scattering a group of tadpoles...... With just a few brushstrokes, the elegance of willows, the naughtiness of little boys, and the horror of tadpoles make people feel vivid.
"Boutique!"
"Shen Yun!"
ā¦ā¦
Among the visitors, there were many people who knew the goods, and several people praised them again and again.
"50,000! Lao Du, I want this painting! A polite middle-aged man made an offer.
This painting is only two square feet, and the nuclear is 251 square feet.
"I'll give 60,000!" A shrewd man with a shrewd face raised the price, obviously a painting dealer.
Dahan shook his head: "I'm sorry, this painting is a gift!" ā
Wang Yan couldn't help but admire a little more when he saw that the big man still kept his promise despite waiting for the money, instead of seeing the money.
Dahan Anran inscribed, signed, and stamped on the painting, and it was only framed as a commodity painting.
Dahan handed the painting to Wang Yan: "I haven't asked for advice yet, what do you call it?" ā
"Wang Yan! What do you call the master? Wang Yan recognizes the works of the Han Dynasty, and even more recognizes the character of the Han Dynasty, so he is commensurate with the master, and in Wang Yan's heart, the Han is the master.
"Du Zheng, pen name Zheng Heizi!" Dahan stretched out his hand and shook Wang Yan's hand.
"Master Du, after lunch, let's enjoy your masterpiece again, okay?" Wang Yan saw that it was lunch time, and Zhang Luo invited him to save some expenses for Deng Jiao.
During the banquet, Wang Yan indifferently listened to a few painters chatting about some interesting stories in the world of calligraphy and painting, in short, those present complimented each other, and those who were not present were not able to do it.
Wang Yan is very disdainful of these sour literati, but he attaches great importance to the straightforward and bold Du Zheng.
Wang Yan is also a well-known rich man in Qingshan, even more famous than low-key rich people such as Zhou Lianshan, and he seems to be among Zhao Liangyi and Lu Hu. So at the dinner, everyone quickly understood Wang Yan's identity, and Li Zijing's identity as the owner of Chengyu's jewelry was also made public, so a group of so-called painters and stars were close to Wang Yantao, everyone knew that these rich people were big buyers of calligraphy and painting! For Du Zheng, a big old man, he can win the favor of Wang Yan and Li Zijing, full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
After a full meal and then back to the gallery's small reception room, Wang Yan asked Deng Jiao to take out Du Zheng's collection of paintings, sure enough, each of them is full of life interest, making people or blood boiling or angry crown, or calm or smiling, or majestic or small bridges and flowing water, there are more than 30 in total.
A group of painters also followed suit, and they also praised it, but it is unknown whether it is true or false, but these people are all experts, whether they are convinced or not, they have to admit that Du Zheng's works are extraordinary.
The next step is to discuss the price, which is a trade secret, and the painters have left one after another, only Meng Nian refuses to leave as half the owner of the gallery.
As a part of the cultural industry, painters naturally have their own rules, and in fact, there are wholesale prices and retail prices, and they vary widely. After all, many of the artist's paintings have to be sold through the gallery, leaving a profit margin for the gallery, and the so-called how much money per square foot is the retail price on the market, and the secret discount is only known to the devil. Galleries or art dealers receive the most discounts in cash, and some painters negotiate with the gallery to consign, and give the gallery a proportional service fee or share, the price ratio is higher, the discount ratio of well-known painters is higher, and the discount ratio of non-famous painters is lower; However, there is no capital cost for paintings except paper and ink, so some so-called painters shout that the price is high, and they also mark extremely high prices in the gallery, but in fact, the discount is not counted at all, and even sells it when they give money, which is equivalent to asking the gallery to advertise it for him, and secretly dumping it at a low price; There are also so-called painters who have no level and follow the price gouging and inflating their value; In fact, some well-known painters respect their own identity, are strict in abiding by the rules of the industry, the paintings are completely separated from the cooperative galleries and individual selling prices, so there is a veritable price, but also laid their own well-known painter identity, often the more small painters are hungry for money, the more they can't keep the rules, the destructive force on the calligraphy and painting market is great, some calligraphy and painting chambers of commerce sign to underwrite the works of a painter, in order to put an end to this situation, but only the work of the brush strokes, because the fine brush paintings are more time-consuming, it is impossible to produce a large number of ......
Wang Yan knew a little about these rules and cats when he was in the advertising industry, and he knew the depth of the water, and at the same time he was deeply worried about Deng Jiao. With Wang Yan's understanding of people, Meng Nian's ethics next to him are not very reliable.
So, Wang Yan said tactfully to Meng Nian: "Mr. Meng, help Deng Jiao entertain the guests!" "Don't you think you're half a master, and I'll command you to entertain others.
Old Meng Nian's face turned red and he went out in a daze.
Du Zheng was very refreshing: "Mr. Wang, my wife needs to go to the United States for treatment, I am short of money now, if you accept all these paintings, I will give you a 5% discount, and Deng Jiao's commission will be paid by me!" If you have a request, I can seal the pen from now on! ā
Du Zheng's sealing of the pen means that he will no longer paint in this life, which can increase the price of the paintings in Wang Yan's hands, which shows how determined Du Zheng is to raise money for his wife.
Du Zheng attaches so much importance to love and righteousness, Wang Yan naturally will not cut off Du Zheng's livelihood in painting because of a few paintings, so he smiled: "Master Du's words are serious, it's completely unnecessary, you just need to leave me some fine products in the future!" ā
"It's a deal!" Du Zheng stretched out his hand and high-fived Wang Yan in faith.
