"I've received invitations from several universities, but I'm going to go to Columbia University in New York, where a professor of biomimetic engineering, who used to be a visiting professor at our school, and I have listened to his lectures, and he has a very good impression of me.

Hu Xuefeng replied honestly, when Han Lulu and Jin Muchen were talking before, he also heard that Jin Muchen is doing business in the United States now, and he wondered if he could get more information about the United States and the universities there from Jin Muchen first.

"Yo he! That's a coincidence, I used to be a student at Columbia, and now, we're still brothers? Haha, now I'm in New York to make a living, by the way, when do you go to New York, I may go back in a few days, and I'll pick you up when the time comes. ”

Jin Muchen said this, Hu Xuefeng was also very happy to hear it, he didn't expect to be here today, he met the senior, although this senior did not graduate from Columbia University, but the bad guy also went to Columbia University before him, the most important thing is that there is such an acquaintance over there, he finally doesn't have to be unfamiliar with life, afraid of being deceived and bullied.

With this relationship, the relationship between Jin Muchen and Hu Xuefeng has invisibly become a step closer, and the more they chat, the more speculative they become, and even Hu Xuefeng's stuttering is much better.

"By the way, you are students at Aurora University, so you have heard of Professor Chen Zili, he seems to be a professor in the art department of your university."

Jin Muchen suddenly remembered that day in Yi@Wu, the boss of the digital oil painting factory Wang introduced him to a boss on the Puhai side, and that person was called Chen Zili. Another oil painting workshop of his own. He is also a professor of art at Aurora University.

In the past, there was also an oil painting workshop in Yi@Wu. Later, after being robbed of business by digital oil painting, in order to maintain the uniqueness of his workshop, he moved the factory site back to Puhai.

It just so happened that the two in front of him were students from Aurora University, so Jin Muchen asked casually.

However, Hu Xuefeng obviously hadn't heard of this Professor Chen, and Han Lulu, who was sitting next to him, took over the conversation.

"Professor Chen, I have listened to his class, his class on the appreciation of Western art aesthetics, I have been there a few times, and it is very good. Professor Chan is very funny and humorous. By the way, what did he do, you ask? ”

"Oh! That's how it goes. ”

Jin Muchen said that he wanted to find Professor Chen and go to his oil painting workshop to purchase a batch of hand-copied oil paintings, and talked to Han Lulu, and Han Lulu slapped him when he heard it.

"Professor Chen's workshop, I've heard of it, there are many senior brothers and sisters, it seems that they are working in his workshop to earn pocket money, or I'll help you contact him if you don't go back."

"That's great. I was still worried, so I rushed to find it. Wouldn't it be a little too presumptuous? Thank you for that! ”

"Brother Jin, you are so polite!"

Just after a while, Candace called, she had already finished visiting those museums, Jin Muchen asked her to come directly, he planned to invite Han Lu and Hu Xuefeng to have a meal together.

But how could Hu Xuefeng and Han Lu agree to let him have a treat, and in the end, Han Lu, as the landlord, insisted on inviting them to a meal.

The next day, as soon as Jin Muchen and Candace woke up from the hotel, they received a call from Han Lulu, and it turned out that she had contacted Professor Chen when she went back last night.

With their family's status in the Puhai art circle, of course Professor Chen would sell her some face, and it just so happened that Professor Chen didn't have classes at school today, so he agreed to accompany Jin Muchen and them to his workshop to have a look.

Jin Muchen took Candace out of the hotel and took a taxi straight to Jiangsong University Town, the campus of Aurora University is not there, but Professor Chen's workshop is there, first, because the rent is cheaper, and there are many schools there, and there are many students who can find art students.

Professor Chen is a middle-aged man in his early fifties, very well maintained, with very white skin, a standard figure, a strong smell of books, and a warm welcome.

I can hear that he speaks very tactfully, anyway, in Jin Muchen's opinion, he is more like a businessman than a teacher.

After arriving at the meeting place, Professor Chen drove and took them around a few times, and then came to a courtyard.

This yard is a farmhouse yard on the edge of the university town, the area is not large, but the greening is very good, and there is even a small garden shape ingenious in front, with rockeries, flowers and trees, which looks very eye-catching.

Behind is a small building, the first floor is an office and a warehouse, and the upper floors are several studios.

Professor Chen didn't talk nonsense, and after taking them into the workshop, he went upstairs and walked around a few times, and Jin Muchen also saw that the several studios upstairs were almost full, and there were people in each studio.

On the second and third floors, students are recruited to create their own works, and there are models on the stage, or some objects to be painted, and the students will play themselves on the spot according to the situation, and create at will.

However, in the end, Professor Chen will negotiate the price of the paintings they create with the merchants who come to purchase them, and the price is generally not too high, that is, hundreds to thousands of yuan.

In the front of the studio, there are several high-level fakes of contemporary famous paintings, and then the students in the audience copy and create according to the style of painting on the stage.

These copying paintings can basically be regarded as assembly line products, but unlike digital oil paintings, these are purely handmade creations, and each student will integrate their own feelings and feelings into them, so each painting seems to be similar at first glance, but if you look closely, you can still feel the life energy of different feelings brought to you by the picture.

"How's it going, Boss Jin, do you feel satisfied?"

Professor Chen took Jin Muchen to look around, and then asked Jin Muchen with a little smugness, Jin Muchen nodded.

"Well, it's really good, Mr. Chen, these students of yours are at a very good level!"

"Haha, it's ridiculous, in fact, these are not all students, some have graduated for several years, and some are pure oil painting lovers......"

As soon as Mr. Chen said this, Jin Muchen understood, and felt that these painters were not all students, and many of them were still artistic young people floating in Puhai.

However, on the whole, the level of their paintings is not bad, and Jin Muchen is quite satisfied with the quality of their paintings.

"Since you are satisfied, then go to the warehouse below to pick, and when you pick it, we are talking about the price."

Teacher Chen made a gesture of invitation, and Jin Muchen didn't have any ink, so he took Candace and followed Professor Chen downstairs.

On the west side of the first floor, there are several houses, which are now the storerooms of this workshop, where the works created by the painters or copied will be displayed, of course, some of the more representative works, and some of the others are directly packed into boxes, and after these are sold out on the wall, they will be taken out and hung on the wall.

So it's not so much a warehouse as a small showroom.

Jin Muchen followed Professor Chen into the exhibition hall, and then began to browse and check, although these oil paintings were only a few hundred yuan, and thousands of ordinary decorative paintings were killed, but Jin Muchen felt that he still needed to take a good look.

He can still distinguish the quality of oil paintings, he still can, he doesn't want to miss the potential masterpieces in these paintings, in case the painters who paint these paintings in the future become popular?

Wouldn't the price of their works also go up? Therefore, investment at this time is very examined.

Jin Muchen stared at the oil paintings on the wall very carefully, but soon went around most of the room, and did not find any works with special characteristics and outstanding painting skills.

However, when he came to the west side of the exhibition hall, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw several oil paintings hanging on the wall.

These paintings are obviously impressionist-style works, and they can feel very abstract, and even Jin Muchen now claims to be half an expert in oil painting, but he can't tell what is depicted on these oil paintings.

But there is one thing he can feel, that is, these oil paintings can embody a very strong life energy, as if the painter who painted these paintings at the beginning, when creating these works, poured a lot of energy, so that he can also have a strong sense of shock after seeing these oil paintings at the first glance.

He had never felt this feeling in the other works in this room, and these five paintings were definitely good paintings!

And the painters who painted these paintings will definitely achieve great achievements in the future, Jin Muchen sighed in his heart, it seems that his luck is really good, he just wanted to buy some display paintings, but he didn't expect to come across such a potential and worthy of investment.

Is it possible that buying oil paintings can also encounter the opportunity to pick up leaks?

"Professor Chen, who painted these paintings? Can you call an artist to introduce me? ”

Jin Muchen pointed to the abstract oil paintings that really couldn't tell what they were and asked Professor Chen.

Professor Chen sighed, then turned his head to Jin Muchen and said with a wry smile: "I also want to call him to you to get acquainted, but it seems unlikely, because the author of these paintings should be in New York." ”

"What? Did he go to the United States? What is his stage name? Why haven't I heard of him in the United States?"

When Jin Muchen heard Professor Chen say this, he couldn't help but be very disappointed, the author of this painting went to the United States? Could it be that he has already achieved fame? Can you still pick up this leak yourself?

"Uh...... Boss Kim, I don't think I made it clear before, so you may be misunderstood, the creator of these paintings is not an artist who has worked with me, he is an authentic American painter......" (To be continued......
