Chapter 492: A Lot of Things

got into the car, and within two minutes, the two of them made the car look like a fairy cave with two cigar smokes, and the fairy atmosphere was full of fairy spirit.

"What are your plans now?" Zou Heming opened a small opening in the car window, let the outside wind blow in, and then turned his head to Wright and asked.

Wright smiled, "What can I do now?" I just want to find something to do and have a contract, and it is not realistic to work in the American auction industry! ”。 Although Wright was swept away, it was not so simple for an executive in such a high position to leave the door holding a cardboard box, and the money Sofbe who left alone was very good, if it weren't for the fact that the person who was fired like this immediately ran to Gashid or Phipps, he wouldn't have made trouble for himself.

"So there's no plan?" Zou Heming glanced at Wright, looked at him and nodded, and said straight to the point: "Are you interested in going to China for development?" ”。

"China?" Wright was stunned for a moment, Wright knew that Zou Heming was here to recruit him this time, but he didn't expect that he was talking about China, and thought that Zou Heming wanted him to help him manage the gallery.

Wright heard at this time that Lawrence Gallery was planning to move its headquarters to Los Angeles. Of course, this is also a very clear thing in the industry, almost all of the gallery's door gods are based in Los Angeles, and the gallery's market is not limited to New York, and now Lawrence Gallery's clients can be said to have expanded to the world.

He is very interested in Lawrence Gallery Wright, because in his eyes, the Lawrence Gallery is now taking firm steps to the top. But now when I hear Zou Heming say that he wants to go to China, I feel a little resistant.

Watching Wright fall into deep thought. Zou Heming took out a stack of materials from his side and handed it to Wright: "This is the growth of the Chinese art market in recent years!" This is a surprising result, as last year alone it surpassed the UK art market. Even if there is a little bit away from the U.S. market, you can see it! ”。

Wright flipped it over and put it aside, such information Wright has not only read, but also counts in detail much more than the one in Zou Heming's hand.

"I know, but have you ever thought about it, now the Chinese market is not only Sofouby, but the world's three major auction houses have Chinese companies, if you are going to set up a new auction house. Even if it has become the best period to enter China, it can be said that it has passed, not to mention anything else, industry predators like Sofby have also gained a firm foothold in the Chinese market! Wright looked at Zou Heming and said.

"I'm not talking about setting up a shooting house!" Zou Heming heard Wright say this and quickly shook his hand and continued to explain: "I want to establish a local area in China, in the words of the Chinese. Oh! That's right! It's a culture company. In fact, to put it bluntly, he is not only a gallery but also an investment company, and the investment and operation are some artists with characteristics in China! ”。

"Can you be more detailed?" Wright asked with a straight face at Zou Heming.

"Of course!" Zou Heming smiled, and then began to explain to Wright.

Zou Heming has only one purpose today, and that is to recruit Wright to the Chinese company that will be formed. Although Wright used to work in a shooting house. But when it comes to auction houses, galleries are not much different. Anyway, it's almost a circle of people. To be able to be the head manager of the New York department in Soffordy, of course, the management ability is needless to say.

To say that he was kicked out of the door this time, Zou Heming thinks that the main reason is that Wright ran into Shang Yi and ran out of luck. No matter how awesome a person is, he can't please a person who has a lot of luck! In Zou Heming's eyes, Fang Yi is a typical example of a person whose luck has always been outstanding. Therefore, planting in front of Fang Yi is not considered planting in Lao Zou's opinion!

"Can you let me think about it for a few days?".

Wright was a little moved by Zou Heming's agitation, and now he is very concerned about all auction houses in the Chinese market, because the European and American markets are already close to stable, and China, the emerging art market, is the market that can bring more huge profits. Once a market moves towards standardization, then it has the basic law norms, and the achievements of the norms mark the stability of the industry. That is, when the windfall period begins to end.

Don't look at the handling fee of the shooting, it is like running water. It's hard to say how much is left between one in and one out. Especially now that the competition between the three major banks is so fierce.

"Okay, I also have some things to do during this time, that is, as I said last time, I am going to recommend Yi to the three major auction houses!" Zou He said happily.

Wright couldn't help but have a playful smile on his face when he heard this, and this smile happened to be captured by Zou Heming.

"Do you think Fang is not qualified?" Zou Heming asked.

Hearing this, Wright shook his head: "This time his cousin is very powerful, but at least Sofby will not consider giving him a position now." Now the new manager of Sofby's new manager is not the first to deal with the employment of Yi? The problem of how to deal with and send the painting to the court."

Zou Heming nodded after hearing this, now that the work in Fang Yi's hand has been confirmed to be genuine, then the person who sold the painting must not be happy, although at the beginning, a 'forgery' in his hand was also sold for more than 10,000 US dollars, which made this person very satisfied at that time, but now that the fake is genuine, it is not a question of 120,000 US dollars, but a problem of at least tens of millions of US dollars, and the living standard of the painter is enough to eat for a lifetime.

It turned out that the authenticity of Rubens was lost by Soffordy's gang of waste confectionery appraisers, and you say that how could the seller be satisfied with the more than 10,000 dollars he received. After colluding with Sofby twice, I came directly to see you in court! More than $10,000 immediately turned into attorney's fees.

Of course, Zou Heming didn't care about this, now the authentic work is in Fang Yi's hands, no matter how the court decides, there is no reason for Fang Yi to hand over what he has legally obtained. As for the fact that there is a mistake of the gallery or something, it is not Fang Yi's business, this work is the legitimate income obtained by Fang Yitong guò by legal means, as for the dispute between the auction house and the auctioneer, it has nothing to do with Fang Yi, the so-called private property is sacrosanct.

"That's Sofoubi's loss!" Zou Heming shrugged his shoulders after speaking, as if Sofoubi had lost some opportunity.

Looking at Zou Heming's appearance, Wright smiled and said, "You are very confident in the other party's appraisal level?" ”。

"And what do you think of his appearance this time?" Zou Heming asked rhetorically.

Wright nodded: "Didn't you say it just now, his performance this time is very good, but you want the auction house to pay such a high salary, and there are so many conditions attached, I'm afraid that the three major auction houses will not have any great interest!" ”。

Zou Heming had a face-to-face conversation with Wright when he took the preconditions, and Wright certainly knew the details clearly. In Wright's opinion, no one will agree to such a condition, and a consultant will be charged more than 100,000 dollars to 100,000 dollars a year? And it's not on call, if such a condition is agreed, what kind of appraiser will feel if the auction house signs its own appraiser.

In Wright's opinion, Fang Yi would be proficient in the styles of a dozen or so artists at most, and this time it happened that he was familiar with Rubens, so such a thing happened.

"As far as the waste you shoot is concerned, it can't be compared to the level of the bundle!" Zou Heming said disdainfully to Wright.

Wright smiled and didn't speak. In his heart, he didn't care, and the appraisers Wright had seen for more than ten years were not a dozen or dozen, but hundreds of them. Most of the people are proficient in the style of four or five artists, and there are more than a dozen, but the more people are generally not proficient.

"The conditions mentioned to you before have not been counted, now you have to sign the following, and the appraisal works are also divided into categories, and there is a list of examples, except for the authenticity on this list, the rest is not asked, and the reason is not necessarily given! Give a reason to see if you feel good," Zou Heming said again.

Hearing this, Wright was even more speechless, thought for a moment and said, "Then I can only wish you good luck!" ”。

The latter condition was added by Fang Yi later, and later Fang Yi thought about what to do to identify it, it seemed that he was surrounded by Zou Heming, and he really didn't want to do this job too much! Naturally, it is necessary to add a little difficulty to Zou Heming, and now Fang Yi was a little embarrassed when he said to Zou Heming, but Zou Heming nodded and agreed without thinking about it.

Not only Wright couldn't understand it, but even Fang Yi couldn't quite understand Zou Heming's true thoughts on this matter. What Lao Zou wants is harsh conditions, and if he is not harsh, Zou Heming will not be happy. Only when it is harsh can there be news, and if there is news and news that makes people feel incredible, it will be famous! Give some money and go do it, that's a reputation for a fart! This is Zou Heming's inner thoughts.

The two of them sat in the mansion and swallowed the fog and arrived at the door of Wright's house. Zou Heming didn't go in, and waved directly at Wright to let the driver turn the car.

For the next week, Wright was considering Zou Heming's invitation, of course, Zou Heming was not the only one interested in Wright, and several other small companies appreciated Wright's management ability. However, after thinking about it, Wright decided to accept Zou Heming's invitation and go to China to have a look and take a look first.

Wright accepted the invitation, and the so-called Chinese partner was about to come forward.

Now Fang Yi has taken this to his home, it is none other than his old friend Li Yuncong. Of course, Fang Yi didn't know that this kid had hooked up with Zou Heming. Even if he knew about it, Fang Yi didn't have much of a mood to pay attention to the matter of the two partners opening a company.

From the time Fang Yi was aware of the authenticity of the painting, he began to be mainly concerned with the issue of Bobile's nonsense painting and sending it to auction. The controversy about this work is so great now that you hear almost every day that it's not worth a dollar, or that it's worth a fortune. Now don't say it's a small auction house, the three major auction houses are gearing up to get this thing into their autumn auction catalog.

Fang Yi was waiting for Bobil to show that extremely mocking blow! As for when he would use his letter, Fang Yi believed that it would be useful. (To be continued......)
