Chapter Twenty-Six: The Matter of the Gallery
After thinking about it, he made a phone call to Newman, and continued to look at the web page with his eyes
"Hi Newman, I'm sorry to call you so late, recently helped me pay attention to a beach villa near California, yes, okay, good night"
Thinking that in the future, my parents and Chiyo will live in, and the problem of going out with a large family, I looked for information about the RV, and finally checked the official website of elemmentPalazzo RV and placed an order, and left some custom requirements for the internal facilities.
I'm flipping through the web page, how to spend money when I'm depressed. patted his forehead, "Such a large farm, it is necessary to buy a private helicopter, I remember who told me, this memory."
flipped through the web page, and finally chose Robinson R66, and after placing an order, he "tsked": "The mechanical gadgets here in the United States are really cheap, only 900,000 US dollars."
In the next few days, Lan Jiawei saw that Ah Xuan and his wife were very skilled and serious, and he was happy to find two good helpers, whose visas had been replaced by work visas under the handling of lawyer Kane, so that they could stay on the farm with peace of mind.
In order to avoid the noisy engineering noise, in addition to going to the greenhouse every day, is to run to the horse farm, or drive to Boise to learn airplane piloting, during which Loman brought his grandchildren to be a guest, and at the request of several children, he performed a ride and archery, teaching them archery skills, Lan Jiawei gave some of the toys he bought to the children, so that these children were particularly fond of the "Indian" uncle, and they were reluctant to leave.
In addition to paying attention to the progress of the farm, Lan Jiawei often gets tired of being on the phone with his fiancée, and lives a leisurely life through video chatting to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
New York, Phantom Gallery, October 16, Lan Jiawei looked at the Chinese painter standing in front of him with a little surprise, he has the same height as himself, but much more delicate than himself, to paraphrase the old saying is Yushu Linfeng. Hans said: "This is Mr. Lan Jiawei, the shareholder of the gallery, and this is Mr. Yuan Yi, a representative painter of neorealism. ”
Lan Jiawei regained his calm look, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and said in Chinese: "Hello, Mr. Yuan, it's a pleasure to meet you"
Yuan Yi also glanced at Lan Jiawei opposite with appreciative eyes, and he could see that the other party had a very special temperament, "Hello, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Lan."
At this time, a very tall Chinese beauty walked over, and Yuan Yi introduced to both parties: "Mr. Lan, this is my college classmate Zheng Qin, Ah Qin, this is Mr. Lan Jiawei, the shareholder of the gallery."
Zheng Qin elegantly stretched out his hand and took the initiative to shake Lan Jiawei: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lan, what industry are you mainly engaged in?" ”
Hans on the side laughed: "Everyone, the exhibition is about to start, let's go in first", and then said to Zheng Qin: "JAVY is a farmer, and the gallery is just his sideline"
Lan Jiawei looked at Yuan Yi and Zheng Qin, smiled, and thought secretly, "These two people, you have affection and I have intentions, but they are both a little proud, it depends on who takes the initiative."
After Hans introduced several other contracted painters, two of them from France were surprised by Lan Jiawei's relatively proficient French.
Hans said with an exaggerated expression, "It's incredible, Javy. When I first saw you, I still spoke English with a strange accent, but now I can actually speak French", Lan Jiawei smiled awkwardly, not easy to explain.
Almost at the same time, in a huge manor house on the outskirts of Paris, Renee looked at the handsome photo of Lan Jiawei on her phone: "Hey, you know what? We have children. But I will not influence you, I will only raise our child, and I hope that in the future he will be as handsome and gentlemanly as you", after speaking, he kissed the photo, got up and moved, the three months of pregnancy are not very obvious, but the woman exudes a motherly nature.
At the exhibition, although he didn't know how to paint, Lan Jiawei still liked the painting style of several realist painters. In particular, one of Yuan Yi's works, the oil painting of a girl swinging on a swing in the light of the full moon, the confused eyes of the girl in the painting made him understand a lot, sadness, hope, and contradictory emotions with faint memories. In the end, he bought it for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
At the end of the exhibition, Hans excitedly pulled Lan Jiawei into the office and chattered with him about some things about the gallery, how successful it had been, etc., for Lan Jiawei, who was like a mountain across the rows, it was tantamount to a duck listening to thunder.
"Man, we made it, and this time each painter sold one or two paintings, which is amazing"
"Hans, I don't understand this, is it very profitable?"
"Hey, JAVY, no surprise they will become more and more famous, I will limit each of them to a maximum of three paintings a year, maybe it will rise to at least a few million dollars in the future, thank you for your own investment"
Lan Jiawei's heart was unbalanced for a while: "It's more money than me to sell treasures, I'm really speechless."
"Will they all stay in the United States in the future?"
"No, Yuan Yi and the others are staying in the United States and are already planning to buy a house, and the others will return to Paris"
At the celebration reception in the evening, Lan Jiawei and Yuan Yi left each other's phone numbers, and at Lan Jiawei's invitation, the painter promised to visit the farm early next month.
A day later, in Santa Morica, Los Angeles, Lan Jiawei, accompanied by Newman, looked at the beach villa he introduced, which was no longer the detached house that was called a villa like the previous ones. The villas cover an area of more than 900 square meters, with two-storey buildings of more than 320 square meters each, as well as other facilities such as swimming pools, and a marina shared by several villas not far away, with one berth for each family.
In addition to the load-bearing columns, the living room on the first floor of the whole villa is a huge floor-to-ceiling window that Lan Jiawei likes, which can enjoy the white sand beach and the turquoise sea outside, although there is a distance of nearly 400 meters from the villa to the sea, but a large piece of beach in front of the villa is privately owned. Lan Jiawei thought very evilly: "It's also a good pleasure to sit at home and enjoy the bikini beauties." The several bedrooms on the second floor are also very comfortable with huge glass windows.
Lan Jiawei will be very happy when he is satisfied, and after paying $11 million, the property rights will be transferred soon. I remembered watching the news a few days ago, a guy only spent more than 10 million dollars to buy a huge villa covering more than 20 acres on the beach in Los Angeles, and sighed in my heart: "Why don't I have this luck?" ”。
I flipped through the phone book, contacted a butler service, and after the people arrived, they told them about the requirements for changing the color of the villa's furniture, sofas, curtains, etc., left an advance payment, and patted their butts and got on the plane back to Boise.
