The international art traders are aimed at the emerging rich in China, who have strong purchasing power but lack of experience in collecting rookies.

These art traders first purchased the works of some distinctive but not well-known painters in large quantities. Then, by selling and buying their works, they are packaged as well-known figures, and their value is raised through the hype of public opinion.

There is no clear definition of the value of a work of art, and it doesn't matter at all that the value of the artist's art, even if someone argues that the painter is not worth that much, and his work is not worth that much at all.

All those art traders need is the popularity of the painters, and if they can attract people's attention, they will be happy. In fact, sometimes they worry that the topic is not strong enough and impactful, and they will spend their own money to scold it in the media. The purpose is to attract people's attention and hype up the artist's popularity.

The popularity of the painter is hyped, and the net worth will naturally rise. Next, these art traders began to sell the pieces they had previously collected. And this time they are not buyers, they are the new rich people who have been fooled into the market.

They spent tens of millions of dollars to buy the so-called works of art bought by others, and they thought that they had really become art collectors, with a unique vision, and they could see the so-called art expressed by the painter. In fact, it's just a trap for others.

It's just that these art collectors are too sophisticated, and their rank is too high, plus they have been in the market since hundreds of years ago. It also constructs the rules of the art market in the world. You're going to get involved in the art market. It's really like going into a black shop. You didn't even negotiate it.

The art market is often very profitable, and a painting that is originally very cheap can be sold for sky-high prices after speculation. Just like Van Gogh's works, which were basically unappreciated during his lifetime, they became a model for artists after that, and their works were also sold at sky-high prices. In just a few decades, the price of a painting has increased by at least tens of thousands of times, which can be called a lucrative deal. Naturally, this is the reason why those international capital predators have set foot in one after another.

Compared with the huge capital operation of foreign countries, the billions of domestic assets are just a drop in the bucket. These capital predators are wandering around, constantly bringing out one so-called artist after another, and then turning them into so-called star artists, and then relying on them to earn money endlessly. In fact, this kind of behavior is the same as the hype of celebrities by brokerage companies.

Xu Guanwu saw through this, so he scoffed at the so-called contemporary art. The reason why antiques are collectible, in addition to representing the inheritance of a historical civilization, is also because of its extremely rare quantity. After thousands of years of war, turmoil, and changing hands, it can be passed down to the present. A miracle in itself.

Many of the authors of contemporary art are alive, and many of the works created are similar. It doesn't reflect its only value. Once many artists become famous, they make large-scale copies of their previous creations, so as to sell them frequently for profit, which has greatly depreciated the value of artworks.

Collecting is inherently scarce and expensive, and it is extremely abnormal for large-scale reproduced works to fetch sky-high prices.

Moreover, the art of art is to move and inspire people, but with the development and change of civilization, simple calligraphy, painting or sculpture works can bring people far less moving and inspiration than the film of the sixth art. Compared with calligraphy, painting, sculpture and other works of art, which can only be felt through the eyes, movies can be felt with eyes and ears at the same time, and the film has extended over time, showing more varied, more three-dimensional and more comprehensive. Naturally, the impression is even stronger.

I often hear people say that after watching a certain movie, I was very moved, and I was inspired and understood. I haven't heard that after seeing a painting or a sculpture, the whole person is moved to tears. On the contrary, it is an art film that has touched many people, and usually the box office is not too high. So-called contemporary artworks, on the other hand, often fetch sky-high prices.

Xu Guanwu felt that instead of auctioning these inexplicable contemporary artworks, it would be more meaningful to auction off the peripheral products of the film, such as props, films, posters, and peripherals. Because those movies have touched many people, and those actors have also grown old, these can no longer be repeated.

……

Xu Guanwu thought about it for a long time, and at this time, a team of cars slowly drove towards this side, the current one was two military jeeps, and behind it was a black red flag sedan.

There were seven or eight soldiers wearing military coats and big-brimmed hats sitting in the military jeep, and after getting off the bus, they first greeted President Wang, and then their eyes were directly fixed on the Air King 200 in front of them.

"What a beautiful plane!" A soldier with a purple face praised, although he didn't shout loudly, his naturally loud voice still startled people.

"Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, let me introduce you, the deputy commander of our Nanyuan Air Base, Xu Yongzhan." President Wang smiled and introduced, "Deputy Commander Xu, this is Mr. Xu Guanwu, a patriotic Hong Kong businessman, and this is his wife, Ms. Xu Zhao Yazhi. ”

"Hello, hello." Xu Yongzhan grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Welcome back to the motherland, welcome, welcome." Mr. Xu, this plane of yours is so beautiful. ”

"Xie Lu Xie," Xu Guanwu nodded and replied casually. I was about to get in the car to warm up, but my feet were numb after waiting here for a long time. But these soldiers only cared about watching the plane, and didn't pay any attention to it.

Seeing their stunned looks, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, "Commander Xu, do you want to go up and visit?" ”

"Is that okay?! That's disrespectful. When Deputy Commander Xu heard this, he immediately resigned with a smile on his face.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile, and led a few soldiers to board the king of the air together. When the soldiers entered the cabin, they couldn't help but be startled when they saw the magnificent decorations, and they didn't even dare to step on the Persian cashmere carpet in the cabin.

Xu Guanwu hurriedly waved his hand. "It's fine. It's fine. The carpet is cleanable. ”

When Deputy Commander Xu heard this, he boldly stepped on the military boots on his feet, feeling soft as if he was stepping on a cotton bale. "Wow, this carpet is so soft."

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Commander Xu, do you want to visit the cockpit?" ”

"Want, get." Deputy Commander Xu nodded again and again, he was not very interested in these magnificent cabin decorations, what he was most interested in was actually the engine technology of this aircraft. material manufacturing, aerodynamic layout, and avionics systems.

If Xu Guanwu could allow it, he really wanted to find someone to dismantle the plane and take it for study, but he was embarrassed to mention this request.

Deputy Commander Xu and his entourage went into the cockpit for a good visit, and had a good look at the avionics system, dashboard layout, driving configuration, and so on.

"Ah, I didn't expect that the private jets in the West are now advanced to this extent, and it seems that we have to continue to work hard in China." Deputy Commander Xu said in amazement after visiting. His remarks also resonated with others.

"Mr. Xu, how much did you spend on this plane?" After the tour is completed. Deputy Commander Xu asked in admiration.

"That's about $30 million." Xu Guanwu thought for a while. The King Air 200 bare machine costs 18 million US dollars, and Xu Guanwu is in safety performance. The flight performance, as well as the interior decoration, did not spare a lot of money, and the result reached a sky-high price of nearly 40 million US dollars.

Deputy Commander Xu's expression froze instantly, "How much?!" ”

"More than 30 million dollars." Xu Guanwu repeated.

Deputy Commander Xu thought about it and converted it into RMB, "Hundreds of millions of yuan, this Nima is too expensive!" He couldn't help but scold.

"At this price, demand is still in short supply." Xu Guanwu explained, "Because there are few companies in the world that can produce private business jets, the price of each private business jet is very expensive. And the profit of this aircraft is also very high, and it can earn more than fifty percent of the profit. ”

"More than 50% of the profits, more than 20 million US dollars?! That's 200 million yuan. Western capitalists can really make money. Deputy Commander Xu sighed, "It would be nice if our country could also produce this kind of private jet, a plane is cheaper and earns five million dollars, and the money will go to sea if you sell a few more." ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, remembering that in his previous life, the country's large aircraft production project had not been fully completed even before he crossed over, which was a very big regret.

It is undoubtedly a very sad thing that the country that ranks among the top in the world does not have the technology to build its own large aircraft.

Thinking of this, Xu Guanwu felt that he should do something, "Deputy Commander Xu, if you can guarantee that this plane will not be damaged, I agree to hand it over to China for research until the end of my recuperation." ”

"Really?! That's great. When Deputy Commander Xu heard this, he immediately said excitedly.

If you want to find such an advanced foreign aircraft to study in China, it is not a simple matter. At present, Western countries have set up very strict technical barriers for their own countries, and they are not allowed to export high-tech technology to the mainland.

Civil aviation technology is also on the restricted list because it can also be used in the military field. China very much wants to get foreign advanced aviation technology, but unfortunately it may not be able to buy it even if it is rich, not to mention that there is no money at all. Therefore, Xu Guanwu's move is undoubtedly a great gift to Deputy Commander Xu.

"Mr. Xu, you have helped us a lot, I really don't know how to thank you." President Wang also said with a smile.

"It's very simple, just help me arrange the best doctor so that I can recover as soon as possible." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "By the way, President Wang, you won't deliberately delay my treatment just to study this plane, right?!" ”

"No, no, absolutely not. Mr. Xu joked, how could we do that. President Wang smiled awkwardly.

Xu Guanwu also smiled, "That's good, that's good, since that's the case, then let's go." ”

"Okay, let's go, let's go." President Wang hurriedly shouted.

Later, Xu Guanwu and his wife got into a Hongqi car and went to the Xiangshan Hot Spring Sanatorium accompanied by President Wang.

Xiangshan Hot Spring Sanatorium was originally a royal garden, and later after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was converted into a sanatorium, which was specially used for the old cadres of the founding fathers to recuperate here.

Because Xu Guanwu is a patriotic Hong Kong businessman and has made great contributions to the country's economic construction, he enjoys such distinguished treatment.

"This is a domestically produced Hongqi brand car, and it is quite comfortable to sit on, no worse than those luxury cars in Europe." Xu Guanwu sat in the car, feeling that the car was driving very smoothly, and the interior space was large enough, and the decoration was magnificent enough, so he couldn't help but smile and said.

"This is a car specially designed to receive foreign guests, and it is naturally first-class." President Wang said with a smile, "There may not be a hundred cars like this in the whole country. If it weren't for you, Mr. Xu, today, I wouldn't be qualified to take this car. ”

"Less than a hundred? That's a shame. Why don't you produce more, I think if you export for foreign exchange, I believe it will be very profitable. Xu Guanwu asked with a smile. (To be continued......)
