Chapter 1092: Goodbye Pilot
Lana's affairs, Christina is responsible for contacting Melissa, and then inviting some celebrities to visit, in this way, it will directly raise Lana's style, and it is easy to sell for a better price, of course, provided that Lana's paintings are of sufficient standard.
Anyway, Zhen Fan is not good at this aspect, and after Christina called Melissa, Melissa immediately became popular and asked the appraiser to go to the hotel to evaluate Lana's paintings. It was concluded that her paintings could be marked for a minimum price of $50,000 and a maximum of $500,000.
Zhen Fan is preparing Qiao Li? Martinez got the news during a charity performance. He was sitting in the audience under the stage, and just as he didn't know what he was thinking, the phone called.
"Half a million dollars? So high? Zhen Fan couldn't help but be stunned, he originally thought that it would be very good to be able to sell for 50,000 or 100,000 US dollars, but he really didn't expect it to be so high. It seems that Lana is really talented. And after Melissa's phone call, Lana also made a call to Zhen Fan.
"Thank you, really, thank you, I'm talking from my heart, I ......," her voice choked up, and she couldn't stop crying when the appraiser offered her $500,000 painting of "Autumn Bar Girl." This is one of her best paintings, and the prototype of the painting is Tia.
In the autumn sun, Tia held the plate, and the sunlight fell on her face through the glass window, making the corners of her eyes squint, but the faint brightness of her face and the reflection of apple red made this girl look like the most beautiful one in autumn...... Like wheat, the grains are full, but with the wind blowing her full life feelings, this is a kind of satisfaction and expectation, hope and wandering. Stubbornness and worry are the same as a contradictory conglomerate.
This is one of Lana's most touching paintings, 500,000 seems to be just a number, but it is also a number symbol for Lana to prove her worth. So she immediately burst into tears.
"If you want to thank me, the painting is sold for money. The first thing is to pay me back! Zhen Fan replied with a big smile, "Do a good job of your art exhibition, valuation is one thing, but ...... Whether it can be sold or not is another matter, but ...... If you think it's a good painting, then we might as well start with a reserve price of $300,000 and see how much we can get at auction. β
Such...... Is it feasible? Tia was a little worried, in case no one even asked for $300,000. Doesn't it shatter all the vanity of half a million dollars? So when she was still a little hesitant, she heard Zhen Fan continue to speak.
"Listen, Lana, if you're not confident, your paintings, that's the value, there will never be another miracle, I can only say to you, the decision is in your hands, not mine. All right? Zhen Fan had to tell her that this matter had to be decided by herself.
"I ...... I'll think again. Lana was still hesitant.
"Just tell Melissa if you've thought about it, and she'll help you unfold the painting. Even the auctions! You concentrate on drawing your words, so be it! Zhen Fan hung up the phone as he spoke.
As soon as the phone hung up, Christina walked up to Zhen Fan's side and whispered to him: "You must leave now, Christine and Zoe came over and they brought the dresses you need, and at half past three in the afternoon, in the square in front of the city hall, you will attend the award ceremony of the honorary citizenship title." β
"Okay, I'll talk to Qiao Li first." Zhen Fan said. He walked towards Jory.
Qiao Li looked at Zhen Fan coming over and said with a smile: "I know you will be attending an honorary citizen award event later, but fortunately, your performance time has been arranged." It will be in the middle of the time, possibly earlier. I can also be able to postpone, and I can be flexible, right...... My boss is coming over tonight, would you like to meet up? β
"Thomas? Gustin? Zhen Fan looked at Qiao Li and smiled, "I've heard of him, it's very famous, and David?" Copperfield, follow him well, there will be a chance. But not tonight, anyway, tomorrow is the time for the official performance, so ...... I can meet him tomorrow, during the day, and I'm going to rehearse again. β
"Of course, as you wish!" Jory? Martinez bent over Zhen Fan and made a classical etiquette move.
Zhen Fan smiled, and then as Christina left, outside the performance venue, listening to a business car, very new, Zhen Fan got in the car, and felt that the inside was very spacious, a bit like the first class cabin of an airplane, and there was a small refrigerator with a chilled h?c?d in it, and Christine and Zoe, who were sitting opposite each other, saw Zhen Fan getting into the car, so they both raised their wine glasses and signaled to Zhen Fan: "How do you feel?" β
"This is what we bought?" Zhen Fan looked around and nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, I like it." That's what life is all about, isn't it? Give me a drink! β
Then Christina, who got in the car, handed Zhen Fan a glass of cold wine, Zhen Fan took a sip lightly, and nodded very comfortably: "This is the life of a rich man." However, this sentence was immediately despised by Christine.
"You're the face of a typical nouveau riche!" Christine snorted, "When you get to the plaza later, you have to be elegant, the well-known media and reporters all over Los Angeles and the United States are there." And it's also live on TV, you'd better be a gentleman and don't turn yourself into a vulgar farmer. β
"Don't worry, I won't mess it up!" Zhen Fan smiled, this kind of scene is just a trivial matter for him, he is just a little used to doing what he wants, once he wants to be serious, he will still be very graceful.
The car arrived near the square, quickly drove into a parking lot, and then the four of them went to a nearby hotel together. There was also more than an hour before half past three, Zhen Fan changed clothes in the hotel, and then with the help of three women, he took on a new look.
"I thought you were ...... Brosnan. Christine looked at Zhen Fan with a smile, every time Zhen Fan wore a formal suit, it made people never get tired of looking at it, not how handsome, but that kind of elegant temperament, that natural affinity, involuntarily made people want to get close to him.
"No, I'm not Brosnan, I'm Bruce? Examine! "Zhen Fan laughed, Bruce? Zhen was originally a pseudonym for him, and now he takes it out and says it, which makes Christine laugh. It's really funny to think of the days when he used this pseudonym outside alone.
Time passed quickly, and after a while, Melissa's phone rang, and it was the mayor's assistant who called and asked Zhen Fan to go to the square in front of the city hall. So the four of them left the hotel and walked towards the town hall square, which was only a few minutes away, and it could be seen that some people were arriving one after another.
Among them, there are some people Zhen Fan is more familiar with, such as Milk, Emile? Barna, Forest? Hurt, Kane? Some of the legislators, such as Stone, and others are doctors, such as Drake, a professor at the Los Angeles School of Medicine? Professor Jenner and the director of the Los Angeles Public Hospital, Latif ? Vare.
Zhen Fan shook hands with them one by one and said hello. Especially that Derek? Professor Jenner is very enthusiastic about Zhen Fan, and even claims to be a student of Zhen Fan, because he has personally interned in Zhen Fan's clinic, and has a very high evaluation of Zhen Fan's clinic, and is also one of the people who actively promote the legislation of traditional Chinese medicine in California.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhen, I think I have gained a lot during my internship at the clinic...... The TCM hospital must be set up, and we can carry out very friendly, mutually beneficial cooperation...... "Derek? Professor Jenner can't wait to start cooperation negotiations with Zhen Fan now.
"It's an honor for you to intern at my clinic." Zhen Fan actually admires this guy very much, such a person with status, regardless of his identity, and those ordinary nurses and doctors mingled in Zhen Fan's clinic for a period of time, tirelessly absorbing the successful things of traditional Chinese medicine.
"It should be my pleasure!" Derek? Jenner hurriedly said, "Then our cooperation ...... When can you make time? We can talk about it in detail! β
"I'm going to ask my fiancΓ©e next to me!" Zhen Fan pointed to Christine, who was gently playing with his hand next to him, and smiled, "Now she is in charge of this piece, so ...... I am sure that we will have a very comprehensive and beneficial cooperation. β
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I heard about your history." Christine was referring to his history of internship at the clinic, "We can make an appointment, but we also have to do our best to make the independent hospital of Chinese medicine legally save in Los Angeles." "Kristen is saying that California law has not yet legislated for independent hospitals of traditional Chinese medicine, so it can't be very legal yet.
"There will be a chance. I have united the famous professors and scholars of our school to write letters to the politicians who are high up, I think...... We will succeed, and it is not far off! "Derek? Jenner honestly and unceremoniously said "we" to Zhen Fan, and consciously classified himself into Zhen Fan's line.
When Zhen Fan was about to say something, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure in front of him, so he hurriedly faced Drake? Jenner said, "I'm sorry, you talked to Christine first, I have something to delay." β
As he spoke, he squeezed over to the side, and then shouted at the figure with his back to him, "Hey, hey, Danny, Danny? Bischl, is I, Fan? Examine! (To be continued)
