Chapter 533: Which One?
Sitting on a chair while flipping through a book, from time to time I watched my son Xiao Yu draw himself on the sketch paper and pose for plaster. It seems that he has really inherited some of Fang Yi's talents, of course, it is Fang Yi who has something in his head, not Fang Yi before he passed out.
Xiao Fangyu shows his own talent in terms of shape, composition and sense of space in the picture. The little man also seemed to like the feeling of being in the studio with his father, and only at this time could he sit quietly on the stool for half an hour.
Fang Yu felt that he was almost done with this step, put the paintbrush in his hand on his small painting cabinet, and leaned next to his father to press his whole body on his father's lap.
"Finished?" Fang Yi watched his son hang his body on his lap, his two little feet were tossed and turned in the air, and he reached out and touched his son's little head, and asked pleasantly.
Xiao Fang Yu nodded, didn't look at his father but played by himself: "I'm a little tired, I'll play for a while!" ”。
"Let's go out and run with the dogs!" Fang Yi said to his son Jianyi, "By the way, observe the body structure of the puppy!" ”。 Fang Yi didn't mean to let his son draw it now, but to let his son develop the habit of observation, and at the same time, sitting crazy for a while for some time can be regarded as letting the child exercise.
"Uncle Zou will come over later! I'm going to take a gift and go play! Xiao Fang said immediately to his father.
Zou Heming himself has no children, and he probably hasn't thought about having a child. However, I like Fang Yu and Xiao Mingyang very much, but I will come over with gifts every time. Moreover, Zou Heming's gift is very suitable for children's hearts, at least much better than Lu Qikun and Rude. The difference is that these two people don't have secretaries. And Zou Heming handed over the matter of choosing gifts to professional people, and the gifts that came out first naturally won the hearts of children.
After a long run, as soon as Fang Yu, who is now getting it, heard that Uncle Zou was coming, he would have to accept the gift before leaving.
"Uncle Zou will go downstairs first" Fang Yi looked at his son and smiled: "Why can't the little brain turn around, just play at the door and don't run too far, don't you just see Uncle Zou when he comes!" If you don't grow into a little fat man, you won't be pretty." Fang Yi encouraged his son to go outside and move for a while.
"Then I'll go!" Listened to my father. Xiao Fang immediately opened his legs and ran towards the door.
Fang Yi continued to look at the Yue Quanchuan in his hand! This time, Zou Heming came to the door with a staff member of Suofby, and Suofubi's staff did not come to chat with Fang Yi, but came to do the final appraisal with the nine works requested by Fang Yi.
The little square duck ran out. ran back twice in a row, and each time he asked his father a question, that is, why Uncle Zou didn't come yet. And Fang Yi's answer is only one, just wait. It took an hour for the father and son to answer this question, and Zou Heming was late.
"Mr. Fang!" Push open the door of Fang Yi's studio. The little leader of Fang Yi, who was responsible for Sofubi, said hello to Fang Yi. Then he motioned to the two staff members behind him to put the painting in his hand on the large shelf that he usually used.
There is nothing to look at, Fang Yi already knows which paintings are genuine and which ones are imitations, and after waiting for a few staff members to put them away, he stretched out his hand and pretended to point twice: "Send these three works to the exhibition hall, exhibit them for a week, and take the rest!" ”。
This is Fang Yi's identification process, and at a glance at the works put in the exhibition hall, they are genuine. If it is fake or something, let the staff take it back directly, which means that these people from Sofubi usually go to Fang Yi's house for half an hour. You can leave, that is, these people come in the morning and go back to their homes in New York by nine o'clock in the evening.
For the current appraisal level of Fang Yi, there are few people in the appraisal circle who will be skeptical, now Fang Yi is the authority in the appraisal authority of classical oil painting, and the conclusion he has made has almost reached the point where no one can doubt it, not that others are too weak, but that Fang Yi's reputation of never making mistakes is too scary.
The three works sent to the exhibition hall are considered to be a benefit to the painter's village, so that young artists can face the works of their predecessors, and Fang Yi will also go to the exhibition hall in person to open a single room to see it for two or three days. I don't look at it at home because I want to keep the authentic works in my own house for a day or two, and the formalities can not be done in a day or two, or it is more convenient for the institution to the institution.
Of course, the security system of the current October exhibition hall is also world-class, if it weren't for Fang Yi's desire to let Sofby put the original work in, not to mention whether Sofby and the holder of the painting who sent it for auction were willing or not, Zou Heming and the insurance company didn't have the courage to accept it.
"Mr. Fang!" Kerry, the manager of the team led by Sofby, looked at the people he had brought with him, had already packed up the works he had brought, and when he went out, he turned his head to Fang Yi and asked.
"What's the matter?" Fang Yi saw that there was something to say.
Everyone has known each other for more than a year, and Kerry is also familiar with each other. Although he is an employee of Sofby, the young man's main job is to arrange paintings and take pictures, and then send the works that Fang Yi wants to see to Fang Yi's hands, that is, he is specifically responsible for Fang Yi's part. Even if it is an assistant who specializes in Fang Yi's work.
Kerry heard Fang Yi's question, his face showed a little embarrassed, and then he hesitated and said, "My friend has a work that I want you to help me look at, but she is not very rich!" ”。
Fang Yi smiled and said, "What do I say, you can just take it!" It can't be a big piece, right? ”。 As soon as Kerry said my friend, Fang Yi obviously saw a hint of sweetness on this young man's face, and even his eyes seemed to have a little more brilliance, it was obvious that the relationship between Kerry was not ordinary, or would be unusual!
"It's not huge!" Kerry gestured to the appearance of about fifty centimeters long and forty centimeters high: "It's so big!" ”。
"Well, just bring it with you next time you come over!" Fang Yi said: "Nothing else, right?" ”。
"Thank you sir! Without! I also brought the first step stuff with me! Kerry listened to Fang Yi's promise. took out a printed item from the bag in his hand and handed it to Fang Yi: "This is a painting I took, if you think you want me to bring it, then I will bring it next time!" ”。
I've been dealing with Fang Yi for a long time. Kerry thinks that Fang Yi's appraisal really has to go through these cutscenes, in fact, these cutscenes were for Fang Yi's convenience at the beginning, and to allow the artists in the village to see these good works, but later they gradually changed their taste, and it was more of a kind of awesome logo that Sofubi vigorously promoted in order to highlight Fang Yi's strong aura as an appraiser!
Invisibly, it has turned a very beautiful thing into a kind of commercial packaging!
Fang Yi smiled when he heard this, and he was not interested in wasting his saliva to explain anything. directly unfolded the photo in his hand, but after looking at it, Fang Yi was attracted by this work. It doesn't come from the hands of an existing well-known master, but the craftsmanship is very exquisite! Even more than the average famous master, and this person does not exist in the database of Fang Yi's mind, even now Fang Yi is holding a sweep of this work in his hand. I don't even have any reflection in my head!
Look at the signature on the painting: Steven? Willing? Pyrok. Fang Yi couldn't help but fall into deep thought a little, not knowing what kind of situation this was.
"It doesn't look like it's a masterpiece that I know!" Fang Yi thought for a while, and said to Kerry with a bit of solemnity on his face.
"Well, I know that, too!" Kerry said. There is a name on the painting and Kerry is also mixed in this circle, of course I know that this person is not too famous, but for 'some reason' Kerry needs to let Fang Yi take a look!
Kerry said to Fang Yi: "My friend just wants to ask how much this thing can sell for, and she has a little other hope!" Kerry was a little embarrassed again.
Fang Yi smiled and shook his head: "If you have time, bring this work over, now I see that the painting technique is good!" But I'll have to wait until I see the work to judge! ”。
"Then I'll get her to send it over soon?" As soon as Kerry heard Fang Yi's words, he would bring it over when he had time. Instead of bringing it over next time, I said very excitedly.
Look at him like this. Fang Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "You asked her not to have too much hope, if it is a no-celebrity work, it can't be sold for any price."
"I know!" Kerry listened, nodded at Fang Yi, and walked out of Fang Yi's studio quickly.
Zou Heming saw the whole process in his eyes, and as soon as Kerry walked out of the studio, he asked Fang Yi, "Is there a problem with this work?" ”。
Now that Fang Yi is interested in something, Zou Heming's subconscious reflection is that this thing is very valuable, not only Zou Heming, but almost all of Fang Yi's friends around him are like this!
"It's not that the work is very valuable, I look at the signature on the painting and it should be real, I'm just interested in this author!" Fang Yi glanced at Zou Heming and said.
As soon as he heard Fang Yi say this, Zou Heming's interest immediately decreased: "That's okay, let's get down to business." After speaking, he pulled Fang Yi to sit on the chair, and then said to Fang Yi happily: "I have a contract here for you to take a look at!" ”。
Fang Yi took Zou Heming's contract, sat on the chair and read the first page carefully, then quickly turned over the remaining pages, and said after turning the page: "This contract has not expired yet, why does Suofubi want to renew the contract here?" ”。
This thing is nothing else, it is a sample of the new contract that Soffoby has prepared for himself, and this time it is signed not for one year but three years!
"Wald is afraid that someone will pry you away now!" Saying that, Zou Heming stretched out his hand and clicked on the mobile phone in his hand: "Now it's not Christton or Phipps's interest in you has soared!" ……”。
Fang Yi looked at Zou Heming and was about to speak at length again, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and interrupted: "Okay!" Knowing your modus operandi, the cow has gone to heaven, to the point! I'm not used to signing for three years at once, and I feel like a deed of sale before, and it's better to sign it once a year! ”。
"A three-year contract is much more generous than a one-year contract, and the income has increased by 10 percent!" Zou Heming looked at Fang Yi and immediately said.
"More money and less money is a number! I think it's good to work with Soffoby like this now," Fang Yi said directly.
From the bottom of my heart, Fang Yi is very satisfied with the cooperation with Sofby, no matter what Soffoby thinks, Fang Yi feels very cool. And now that he sees that Sofby is going to renew his relationship for three years, then Sofouby himself thinks that this cooperation is very good.
In Fang Yi's opinion, this is much more satisfying than some money alone, and the name of Sofby's world's first auction house is not given in vain, and the quality of the works received is also top-notch. At this point, Fang Yi had no interest in changing to another family!
"That's it, I'll talk to them, the conditions won't change!" Zou Heming immediately said that to help his customers strive for the greatest interests, Zou Heming will not be soft!
After speaking, Zou Heming glanced at Fang Yi, then thought for a moment as if he was organizing his own language, and only after more than ten seconds did he say to Fang Yi: "Your teacher's work has been photographed!" ”。
Fang Yi couldn't help but open his mouth and asked, "My teacher has a lot of works, I know which one you are talking about?" ”。
"With a price of 58 million yuan, which one do you think it can be?" Zou Heming looked at Fang Yi with a playful smile on his face and asked. (To be continued......)
