So much so that Anthony's remaining two paintings also caused a small amount of scrambling, and the price was also very high.
Originally, it was two very ordinary medium-sized paintings, but in the end, they were hyped up to a high price of more than 200,000 yuan, which is really nothing for those well-known painters.
But for a newcomer like Anthony, this is already a remarkable achievement.
The auction ended like this, Jin Muchen didn't have the heart to stay here, Judy and Maria invited him out to have a good time, but Jin Muchen refused one by one.
After the art exhibition, he was done helping Helen, and now he didn't want to have too much to do with this girl, on the one hand, because of her relationship with Candace, which made Jin Muchen have to worry, and secondly, because every time he met this girl, it seemed that he would always encounter some unexpected trouble.
For example, the last time I was with her, I met those western cowboys, and finally I met Lao Hei, who didn't want money, and this time I met an inexplicable crazy woman who was jealous of her.
In short, she and herself are completely different worlds, she is the kind of upper-class celebrity who can cause news anytime and anywhere, and she is more inclined to live her own stable life.
"You'd better make sure that your previous judgment is accurate, and if I lose the bet, you give me a wait."
Helen drove Jin Muchen to a parking lot in Manhattan, before letting Jin Muchen get out of the car to pick up the car. She said to him, waving her delicate little fist in front of him as she spoke.
"I can take responsibility for my judgment, but the bet between you and that Casey is none of my business. I didn't encourage you to make a bet with her, you did it voluntarily. Don't get me involved in the grudge between you, okay? ”
Jin Muchen rolled his eyes helplessly, although he also knew that women were unreasonable, but he couldn't help but defend himself.
"Humph! You don't think about it, just so lightly clear yourself, what you said yourself. I think you know all too well that if I hadn't trusted your judgment, I wouldn't have gambled with that Casey. Anyway, since you're my advisor, you're going to be responsible for it to the end. ”
"Okay, whatever you want."
Jin Muchen shook his head helplessly. Pushing the car door, just before getting out of the car, something suddenly comes to mind.
"By the way, I've already completed the work of this investment consultant, when can you help me get in touch, the Mr. Patton you are talking about?"
The reason why he agreed to Helen this time was entirely because of the house that Helen showed him. Very much in line with his heart.
After returning in the past few days, he studied the house several times on Google Maps. The more you look at it, the more you like, the location is excellent, quiet in the middle of noisy, although it is located in a prosperous business district, but the lighting of the house, and all aspects of the condition. It was all very much to his heart, and he was able to find such a place in the bustling city of Manhattan. But it's really not that easy.
The more he looked at the house, the more satisfied he became, so before leaving. I couldn't help but say another word to Helen.
"What I promised you, you can rest assured, I'll call you in two days. Seriously, you should really thank me, you know, I saved you a lot of brokerage fees. ”
Helen pursed her lips and said, Jin Muchen turned her head.
"Didn't I save you a lot of money in consulting fees?"
"What? What were you talking about, you bastard? ”
"Bang ......"
As soon as Jin Muchen closed the car door, he got out of the car with a smoke......
He returned to Flushing with the three paintings, and for the next few days he stayed at Uncle Fang's house, and he didn't go.
During the day, he slept until he woke up naturally, and then learned some antique knowledge with Fang Bo, and at night, he made porridge on the phone with Candace, and lived a leisurely life.
On this day, he got up at ten o'clock in the morning, and Uncle Fang had already gone downstairs to open the door to do business, and he made himself a sumptuous breakfast meal in the restaurant on the second floor.
As soon as I warmed up the milk for myself, a phone call came in, and when I took it and looked at the number, it happened to be Helen calling.
"Turn on the TV and watch Fox's entertainment channels......"
At the urging of Helen, Jin Muchen turned on the TV slowly, and it happened that the entertainment channel was inserting an urgent message.
"In the early hours of this morning, in room XXX of the XXXX building in Manhattan, the police found a body...... It has been confirmed that the deceased is none other than Anthony, a cutting-edge painter who has recently made a name for himself in the American oil painting world. Wise, the police preliminarily determined that the cause of Anthony's death was a heart attack caused by a drug overdose...... Anthony's paintings are known for their hyperrealism...... His work has won many awards...... Many well-known figures in the art world have expressed their shock at this news, and please see this interview with Anthony's friend in a hurry......"
"Oh my God! It's really hard to accept, Anthony is such a talented painter, I can't believe he just left us......"
This is a somewhat bald old man, with a name prompt at the bottom of the screen, and a name in front of it, it turns out that this guy is actually the manager of the fairy tale gallery.
"O my God! Are you telling the truth? You say Anthony. Is Wise dead? That one...... That Anthony. Wise? ”
This is a female painter, who should be quite famous in the American oil painting world, but Jin Muchen didn't know her before today, looking at her crying in front of the camera, presumably she and Anthony should have a good relationship.
After that, some celebrities were interviewed one after another, but these interviewees, without exception, expressed shock and regret for Anthony's death.
Of course, I don't know how much of these statements are true or how much of them are false, Jin Muchen watched TV, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
In fact, when he saw Anthony's state that day, he felt that the guy should be dying soon, taking drugs, his body was weak, and he seemed to have a hidden disease.
It stands to reason that he should remind him a few words, but he and Anthony are just nodding friends, and Anthony doesn't even know his own name, how can he remind him?
So about Anthony's ending, he had already expected it that day, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.
"Hey! Mu Chen, are you still there? ”
Helen asked on the other end of the line.
"Well, it's still ......"
"Have you read the news?"
"Well, just watched, it's a shame, such a talented painter."
"yes...... But...... I would like to ask you, did you already see that day that he was in bad health? ”
"Do you need to ask? Anyone with eyes can tell that he is in poor health...... Okay, Helen, you shouldn't have called me so early to discuss this topic, did you? ”
"Uh...... Yes, I don't think we should dwell too much on this genius painter, I just want to tell you that you have made a fortune, well, I seem to have made a little bit of money, yes, we have made a fortune. ”
"Really?"
"That's right, I'm talking about Anthony's paintings, you're in the antiques business, and you should know some of the unspoken rules of the oil painting industry. Some painters, even if they were not taken seriously and were not well-known during their lifetime, but once they returned to the West, their works were likely to become popular. Especially for a new painter like Anthony, who had a great future, but because of such an unexpected event, they could no longer create new paintings. Then these paintings that they left in the world will become their only remaining works, and once their artistic status is affirmed, then the price of their works will definitely rise significantly. I've just received some news that Anthony's paintings have now doubled in price on the market. And I heard that the fairy tale gallery has changed its original plan, they plan to take advantage of the news boom created by Anthony this time has not passed, in the extra effort, to hold Anthony up, they have contacted some members of the American Art Association, I heard that this year Anthony's paintings will definitely be invited to participate in the United States tour exhibition, once the exhibition is over, some of his works will be collected by the National Gallery, and when the value of his paintings is at that time, it will definitely turn over and rise, up five to ten times, It's not impossible, I just asked my father's investment advisor, and he said that I made a very good investment. He had seen Anthony's paintings, and according to his estimates, once Anthony's status was determined, the value of his oil paintings would increase at least tenfold ......"
Helen said a lot on the other end of the phone, but Jin Muchen's heart was weird.
It stands to reason that investing in art appreciation should be a happy thing, but this kind of making a fortune makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Do you feel a little uncomfortable?"
Helen on the other end of the phone seemed to know how to read minds, and Jin Muchen could only nod and admit it.
"Yes, although it is a happy thing to get rich, but is it appropriate to get rich like this?"
"Listen, Mu Chen, there's nothing wrong with this? Since Anthony signed with the Fairy Tale Gallery, he has sold himself to the gallery, and the gallery has invested a lot of money in him, so of course they can't make nothing, right? Besides, such a thing is nothing in a business society like the United States? Think about MJ back then, after he died, wasn't he hyped by Sony again? and Paul, who had a car accident some time ago, when he died, that movie Super 7, wasn't it a big deal with his name? In a business society like the United States, isn't that a bad thing? (To be continued)
