Fang Yi put down the phone, sat down in a small café on the side of the street, ordered a drink, and slowly waited for Li Yuncong to come over. When Li Yuncong arrived, the two chatted for a few words and drove towards Beronica's house in their respective cars.

"Why hasn't your girlfriend come down yet?" Li Yuncong looked at the watch in his hand and said anxiously: "Just now you praised your girlfriend for being punctual, and now there is a problem!" ”。

Fang Yi glanced at Li Yuncong and said, "Why are you obedient and only listen to half of it!" I'm talking about the past. Since I became my girlfriend, I may have changed, according to my last experience, I was about ten minutes late! It should be soon! ”。

Li Yuncong listened to Fang Yi's words, and couldn't help sighing: "Why don't you let people wait for these girls to feel uncomfortable?" ”。

"It's coming!" Before Li Yuncong's words were finished, Fang Yi watched Belonica and Suzanne each carry a small bag out of the door of the apartment.

Following Fang Yi's gaze, Li Yuncong saw the two Spanish girls who were smiling and walked over, and he was stunned for a moment, turned his head to Fang Yi and asked, "Which is your girlfriend?" It can't be the tall one, right? ”。

"The tall one is my girlfriend, Beronica" Fang Yi didn't turn his head, and he didn't even look at Li Yuncong who opened his mouth and replied.

"Holy! Are you ready to save money on clothes supports? With such a tall person, don't you feel pressure? Li Yuncong muttered from his mouth, and when he watched the two girls approach, he changed his face to a smile again.

introduced Li Yuncong, the four of them stood on the side of the road and chatted for a few words before getting into the car, Beronica naturally got into Fang Yi's car, Suzanne got into Li Yuncong's car, and the four people and two cars drove towards the restaurant.

The restaurant that Fang Yi and Beronica frequented was not like in European movies, where everyone wore suits and leather shoes. It's just an ordinary restaurant. There is no dress code, very casual kind! Of course, there are not so many dining etiquettes to follow.

"Congratulations on having your painting seen in the gallery!".

"Thank you!" Fang Yi picked up the wine in his hand, took a sip, and said to Belonica.

Li Yuncong and Suzanne also picked up the wine glasses in their hands, and the four of them touched them.

"Does that mean that the gallery is going to sign you, and you are also an artist signed by the gallery?" After taking a sip of wine, Li Yuncong looked at Fang Yi and asked.

Fang Yi said: "Not yet, it can only be regarded as the first step!" "I briefly explained the general things in a few sentences, and popularized the small knowledge of the gallery.

"With the first step, there is the second step!" Li Yuncong listened to it and said with a smile: "Then the following is waiting for the news of the gallery?" ”。

Fang Yi shook his head: "I'm going to take my two works with different styles to try them in another gallery!" Anyway, it would be nice to have an extra insurance, and now my paintings can only be said to be on consignment in this gallery! ”。 After the happy momentum passed, Fang Yi thought about trying a few more galleries, and couldn't passively wait for news from this gallery, and walked more steadily on two legs.

"How are you going to try. Continue to run the gallery with paintings like this? Beronica cut a piece of veal and put it in her mouth, then turned her head to Fang Yi, who was sitting next to her, and asked.

"Hmmm! There are still three or four that haven't run, so they just run down and talk about it! It's not a bit of time anyway! Fang Yi nodded and said.

"How are you now, how are the exams, Yun Cong" Fang Yi asked Li Yuncong.

"Not bad. passed without any danger" Li Yuncong said this, and his face hung a little confident, although Li Yuncong is a son. But that's pretty good! There is no shortage of him throughout the game. But he is very good at exams and whatever, according to his own words, except for the first year in Paris, he has not failed a subject since.

The four of them chatted while eating, and when they finished eating, they moved their positions to the bar again. Such an evening was just passed away.

Try a few more galleries, Fang Yi didn't talk about it, and on the fourth day, he walked towards the gallery with two works that had just dried the varnish.

"Hello! I made an appointment with Mr. Brown to show him my painting today! Pushed open the door to the gallery. Fang Yi walked straight to the front desk and said to the young reception girl.

"Oh! I'm sorry, Mr. Brown has something going on for a while, just left! You are Mr. Fang, I just wanted to call you to cancel this appointment" The girl looked at Fang Yi and smiled and said, "How about changing it to tomorrow?" ”。

Fang Yi listened to the girl's words and shook his head: "I still have something to do tomorrow!" ”。

Today is the first time I have encountered such a situation, and someone else has missed the appointment! In the past, even if I encountered such a situation, I would at least notify it earlier, and where I arrived at the front desk to notify myself that the person was not there.

"And when will Mr. Brown come back?" Fang Yi frowned and asked.

"I don't know about this!".

"Oh! So be it, we'll make an appointment later! Fang Yi smiled at the little girl in a friendly manner, picked up his two paintings and turned his head and walked towards the door where he had just entered.

Before Fang Yi could walk a few meters, he heard a voice behind him: "HI! ”。

Fang Yi turned his head and saw a white man in his thirties running towards him while waving his hand.

"What's the matter?" Fang Yi opened his mouth and asked the one who came running.

"I would like to ask, can I see your paintings?" This one ran to Fang Yi's side and asked directly. After asking himself, he continued: "My name is Lawrence!" Running a gallery in the United States! ”。

Looking at the outstretched hand, Fang Yi raised his hand and shook it with the person: "Hello! My name is Fang Yi. Of course! ”。

"Fang? Are you from China? Lawrence looked at Fang Yi up and down and asked happily, looked at Fang Yi and nodded, and immediately continued to Fang Yi in fluent Chinese: "That's really good!" ”。

As soon as this Chinese sentence came out, Fang Yi immediately felt very kind: "Your Chinese is very good!" "Although it sounds a little accented, it's not the weird tone of a foreigner, because it should have some domestic dialect.

"Have you ever lived in China?" Fang Yi asked directly in Chinese with great interest.

"It's not!" Lawrence shook his head: "I have a quarter of Chinese ancestry, and my grandfather was Chinese!" My Chinese name is Zou Heming! ”。

"Zou Heming?" Fang Yi felt familiar when he heard this name, as if he had heard it there, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't remember it again.

Zou Heming looked at Fang Yi and said with a smile: "You may have read a book written by a writer who hit the street!" He likes to use that name in his books! Fortunately, this person is not famous at all, and I don't see any signs of being famous, and my Chinese name hasn't been involved too much! This scribbled scribble. What is the pen name?,I don't know the word in front of it.,It's a bit strange for me! ”。

After thinking about it, Fang Yi gave up, there are many Chinese who have the same name, and some names are still used by more than 100,000 people, Zou Heming, this name is really good! Fang Yi has eight points to believe that this foreign devil's grandfather is Chinese! A mouthful of Chinese with a local accent, plus this name, with foreigners who have studied Chinese for several years, Fang Yi thinks that there are really few people who come up with this name. As for what Zou Heming said, what kind of broken stone and rotten wood climbed the lattice to write a book. Fang Yi was even more unconcerned. Of course, it's not worth Fang Yi's concern! In China, it is the bottom of the goods, not to mention anything else.

After chatting for a few words, Fang Yi put the painting he was carrying flat on his arm, then opened the cloth painting bag wrapped in the painting, and pulled out the painting "Crying Woman": "This is the work I brought today." There are two of them! ”。

Zou Heming glanced at the painting twice, and the expression on his face became focused. I watched it for more than a minute. Only then did he open his mouth and say, "Let's find a coffee shop and talk slowly?" ”。

A person who is so fluent in Chinese and has Chinese ancestry, Fang Yi naturally had a little sense of intimacy, closed the painting and nodded and said, "Yes!" ”。

The two of them walked more than 20 meters directly to a coffee shop and sat down, and each ordered a cup. Zou Heming took two paintings and looked at them.

"Great work!" After watching it for ten minutes, Zou Heming put down the two paintings "Crying Woman" and "Happy Me".

Looking at Fang Yi and asking, "Are you interested in letting me represent your painting first?" I run a gallery in New York, USA. However, it is not very big when it has just started, it can only be said that it is medium and small! ”。

"But I'm in France now, and I still have about three years of study to complete," Fang Yi asked after a little thought. For American galleries, Fang Yi didn't think about it at all. The European side is not mixed well, where is the time to think about the American market.

"It's easy to fly back and forth between the US and Europe! Moreover, the oil painting market is about the same level of activity as in Europe! Zou Heming explained: "What is such a little distance! ”。

"You're very optimistic about my paintings?" Fang Yi opened his mouth and asked directly. Looking at Zou Heming opposite, he nodded and asked, "What price do you think these two paintings can sell for?" ”。

Zou Heming listened to Fang Yi's words, smiled and asked, "Then let me ask you, what is the price in your heart?" ”。

"Seven hundred dollars?" Fang Yi looked at Zou Heming's smiling face and asked. Now that Fang Yi has been educated by the teacher, he is not like before when a mouth is the bottom line of a thousand euros, and the priority is to stand on the ground.

Hearing about seven hundred dollars, Zou Heming shook his head.

"Six hundred dollars?".

"Five hundred dollars?"

Listening to Fang Yi go down vigorously, Zou Heming said a little annoyed: "Mr. Fang! Are you looking down on my gallery? My gallery is a little smaller, but it's not enough to sell my favorite paintings for a few hundred dollars! ”。

"No, that's not what I meant!" Fang Yi shook his head and said, it will take him a month to paint a work, people just nodded and agreed to sell it after seeing it, the painting painted in the past few hours, the person in front of him enthusiastically pulled himself to the café! Hearing this, it means to sell for a few hundred dollars, and he is not in a hurry, but he is in a hurry to provoke the person in front of him, and Fang Yi can't even think of this situation even if he wants to break his brain!

"If you trust me, the price is up to us!" Zou Heming looked at Fang Yi and said with sincerity in his eyes.

"Then there's no problem on my side!" Fang Yi thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Zou Heming's proposal. Although Europe and the United States are separated by oceans, the market is very closely connected, and the same is true for the oil painting market. Both belong to Western society, and there is no difference between becoming famous in the United States and becoming famous in Europe. (To be continued......)
