Chapter 258: A three-pronged approach

"Tianyuan Art Network?"

Today is the regular meeting time of the Tianyuan Society, and it happens that everyone is sitting together after attending the opening ceremony of the museum.

"I have discussed with Xiaoma and Li Yanming, and we are ready to jointly build the largest art trading platform in China!"

Ma Yun explained: "With Alibaba as the credit base, Du Niang as the search platform, and Penguin's huge customer base and channels, the combination of the three has established a complete art trading network within a month. ”

Li added: "Not only trading, but also forums, lectures, and various online and offline themed activities. As long as it's related to artwork, we'll catch it all! ”

Wu Tianyuan nodded, this is very important, especially now that the Internet is king. Traditional media is constantly being eroded by new media and will soon be replaced. Whoever occupies this field first will have the absolute right to speak later.

"Okay, what else can I say if you three join forces?"

Wu Tianyuan encouraged: "When the time comes, let Zhou Wenyan fully cooperate and collect more materials, including Japan, Europe, the United States, and the time-honored brand of Liulichang." They must be very interested, a win-win good thing. ”

"And the three of us, too, with big plans!"

Wang Jiansen was unwilling to be lonely and said: "The three of them are supported in software, and we are in real hardware!" ”

"Tianyuan Art Center?"

Wu Tianyuan looked at the drawings with some excitement, a very grand building, curious.

"Just near the 798 Art Center in Beijing, 150,000 square meters, the three of us will invest in the construction together, and strive to complete it within three months!"

The 798 Art District, also known as the Dashanzi Art District, was originally the location of the old factories of the electronics industry such as the former state-owned 798 Factory. This art district evokes a cultural concept, as well as the LOFT as a fashionable way of living and working, or the 798 way for short. It has become a new landmark of urban culture in Beijing.

The architectural style of the factory area, which is dominated by the 798 factory, is simple and simple, emphasizing function, and the huge cast-in-place structure and bright skylights are rare in other buildings. They were key industrial projects built with the aid of the Soviet Union in the early 50s and designed and built by the East Germans, and have experienced countless vicissitudes of life over the past few decades.

After artists and cultural institutions moved in, they rented and renovated vacant factories on a large scale, and gradually developed into a convergence of various spaces such as galleries, art centers, artist studios, design companies, restaurants and bars, forming an "SOHO-style art community" and "loft lifestyle" with international colors, which attracted considerable attention.

Among the 103 institutions in the 798 Art District, there are mainly two categories: creation, display and communication, and design, of which 59 belong to art creation, display and exchange, and 29 are design, including space design, advertising design, home furniture design, and clothing and image design.

At least 300 artists live directly in the 798 Art District or use the 798 Art District as their main art creation space, including some artists from abroad, who come from France, the United States, Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia, South Korea, Singapore, etc.

"The UUC Art Center in Ullens is there, and you're going to beat the rhythm of the ring?"

Wang Jiansen said disdainfully: "What European speculators? We can't manage it abroad, in our one-third of an acre of land, even if it is a dragon crossing the river, we have to lie on our stomachs! ”

Everyone laughed, the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, let alone the three giant pythons! Not to mention anything else, the hardware is all over the Ullens them.

"There are also the two of us, who have already contacted several well-known professional galleries in China, while secretly acquiring works, while opening up relationships and preparing for the opportunity to build momentum."

Bai Hua and Lao Guo are also full of confidence, they have been art brokers for decades, and they have a wide range of people. Now that there is a destiny to be a backer, it is like a tiger with wings, and everything is smooth.

Wu Tianyuan picked up the materials and took a look at the four well-known galleries that had already negotiated their cooperation intentions.

ShanghART Gallery held more than 30 exhibitions in 2015 and participated in more than 10 international and domestic art fairs. With 16 years of persistence and good reputation, ShanghART has become a well-deserved model of Chinese galleries.

As the only branch of Pace in Asia, Pace Gallery occupies the first-line artist resources in Asia, and opens a barrier-free channel for Chinese artists to export to the world and international artists to import from China. In the face of the high operating costs of mainland galleries, they insisted on making high-quality exhibitions and stuck to Beijing, becoming the most successful branch of Western galleries in combination with the local market.

Long March Space has always been a representative of Chinese galleries active in the international art scene, and has participated in major international fairs and art events almost infrequently. Long March Space continues to blend local and international art resources, becoming a model of local galleries with the most international vision.

In the past year, Tang Contemporary Art has continued to hold its exhibition strategy high, and in Tang China's exhibitions, you can always see large-scale installations that cost a lot of money to transport and set up exhibitions, which is in great contrast to the cold and cold installation art market in China. This exhibition structure makes Tang people unique among local galleries and has won them a lot of popularity.

"Yes, we have a foundation for cooperation with the top four galleries in China, and I have also contacted Hong Kong's Gagosian and Taiwan's Eslite Gallery through Zhai Jianmin and Barry Lam, both of which are local brands that have been deeply cultivated for many years and have a strong network foundation."

"There is also Galerie Urs Ursmal, which has been deeply involved in China for many years, and has been invited to participate in the world's most important art fairs for a long time, which has contributed to the global promotion of young and middle-aged artists in the gallery's cooperation. I also got hooked up through Sir William, and the other party was also interested in working together. ”

Bai Hua and Lao Guo were excited, originally their next step was to go to Hong Kong and Taiwan to explore the market, but Wu Tianyuan got it through a few phone calls. Also, there is the influence of Minqiu Jingshe and Qing Play Yaji, which is unmatched in the local area.

"Okay, now we are a three-pronged approach, everyone goes their own way, gathers every week, and makes a lot of money while appreciating the baby!"

After Boss Liu finished announcing, everyone dispersed to see their favorite treasures in the museum. There are a lot of national treasures of the Song Dynasty all of a sudden, and I haven't had a chance to see them yet. The museum is closed tonight, just in time for a great time.

Wu Tianyuan was relaxed for a while, and the seeds finally all took root and sprouted, gradually growing, and he began to worry about it. Everyone has a common goal, has the same hobbies, everyone has their own areas of expertise, and it is very comfortable to work together.

He doesn't have to worry about a lot of things, Tianyuan will be a big businessman, and business operations are at his fingertips. With them, the god-making plan is nine out of ten, and the biggest opponents are Chen Dongsheng, Ullens and Lewis.

Baoli Hu Yan and Su Fubi Qiu Guofu are also allies, but their identities are sensitive, and the auction house is the last step. Only after the early publicity is in place, do you need the recognition of the market, don't rush, take your time.

Now Wu Tianyuan's life is very satisfied, and the museum is officially open to the public, and the rest is just to continue to improve. Parents also came to the capital to live together, accompanied by Sun Yuyao. When you are really strong enough to reach a level, you can go to the ranch to ride a horse, fish, drink tea, and make hundreds of millions of dollars with a few phone calls, then that's when the big boss is the boss!
