Chapter Twenty-Six: Sketching
Get up in the morning, Guo Yu came to Huafu Auction Company rarely, it is now the end of March, this year's spring auction should be about to start, this is the first time Huafu Auction House operates the auction by itself, I don't know how Zhang Chong is doing.
However, Guo Yu didn't care much about this, he came to let the appraiser see if the pile of sketch practice paintings he bought was valuable, Guo Yu had the intention of digging up treasures.
Walking into the gate of the company, the employees saw Guo Yu coming in, and stood up one by one and shouted that the chairman was early, Guo Yu nodded lightly in response, and he felt very stylish.
When he entered his office and saw the little secretary Mu Tong cleaning, Guo Yu stepped forward and slapped her buttocks, causing the little secretary to scream softly.
Guo Yu said to Mu Tong: "Go and see if Mr. Zhang is there, and if he is, ask him to come to me." ”
I heard Guo Yu tell the little secretary to go out and call someone.
Guo Yu walked to the rest room and put out the sketch practice paintings in the space, these sketches were placed in the space, and even the dust did not fall off on them.
Zhang rushed in, the two sat down to chat, and Guo Yu asked about the preparations for the auction.
Zhang Chong said: "You are the shopkeeper, you let me out, and now I know that I have an auction, it is really troublesome, to identify items, print albums, publicity, visit the rich, advertise, arrange the venue, increase staff and security personnel, invite auctioneers, etc., etc., there are a lot of miscellaneous things, I am busy and dizzy." ”
"So what's going on, is the time set?"
"Of course it's set, next month, April 10th, is the day of the auction, at the venue of the Sheraton Hotel, you have time to participate." Zhang Chong replied.
"Okay, if I'm in Hong Kong at that time, I'll definitely go, by the way, I'll bring some things, you can ask the appraiser to help me see it, and I want an appraiser for European calligraphy and painting."
"I'll take a look at something." Then he followed Guo Yu into the rest room and saw a pile of drawing paper.
Zhang Chong picked up a few casually, he couldn't read the name, even if he understood most of them, he didn't know them, and then directly called the company's European cultural relics and artworks appraiser.
Appraiser Zhu Mi is in his thirties, similar to Guo Yu and others, a native of Hong Kong, who studied art and art appreciation in France, and has worked in appraisal for eight or nine years.
At first, the appraiser didn't pay much attention to it, but when he picked up a sketch and saw the name on it, he was stunned, "Renoir 1885, oh my God, it can't be true." Looking at the dozen or so drawings of nude women in his hand, Zhu Mi's hands began to tremble a little, for some people who like to study Western art, these things are comparable to the Bible.
Zhu Mi hurriedly put the paintings on the table, solemnly put on gloves, and began to carefully identify the dozen or so sketches.
Guo Yu's look at this is not a problem, you have studied these sketches for a long time, then there are 20,000 here, when will you have to wait, and finally Guo Yu said to Zhu Mi: "You will first see who these paintings belong to and whether they are valuable, and then take a closer look." ”
But obviously Zhu Mi was a little excited: "Boss, do you know, this sketch in my hand may be a painting of Renoir, do you know who Renoir is, that is a master of French painting, one of the representatives of Impressionism, is ・・・・・・"
"Stop" Seeing that Zhu Mi had an endless tendency to talk, Guo Yu hurriedly stopped and said to Zhu Mi: "What about these, I really don't have time to study, if you like it, you can study the evidence carefully in the future, the main thing is to torture and practice painting here, you look at it like this to see the years and months." ”
"Okay boss, I'll quickly organize people to move them to the vault, make a register of grades, and identify them one by one, and I'll do my best to give you a detailed appraisal certificate."
"Very well, you go for it." sent Zhu Mi away, and let people move all the albums to the vault, which can be regarded as relaxing. This is not an artist, I like these sketches so much, if I sell them to Europeans, they must be crazy to rob them, hum, let you sell Chinese antiques if you have nothing to do, I will sell foreign antiques if you have nothing to do in the future, let you come to Hong Kong to buy them if you have nothing to do.
If the matter goes down, Guo Yu doesn't care. However, the next day, I received a call from Zhang Chong, saying that his batch of sketches had been identified in thirty copies, among which there were two works of painting masters, three works of second-rate painters, and the others were not famous but had appeared in history, which was also of some value.
But Guo Yu is not in a hurry to take it out, he will starve them to death, and he will sell them to the Europeans at a high price little by little in the future, and if there are more, it will affect the price.
When Guo Yu was picking up his son, when he saw Mr. Huang, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't prepared a gift at the Huang family, this one had to be picked, and he had to buy two cars.
As soon as he summed it up, he called Zhang Jiazheng and asked him to buy a Bentley and buy a Mercedes-Benz, Bentley drove it himself, and the Mercedes-Benz bodyguard drove it.
After the explanation, he went back to 1915, it was already spring, the farm began to get busy, the employees were working in the field, Guo Yu called Al to learn about the current planting situation of the farm.
"Boss, according to the seeds you gave, about 10,000 acres of experimental fields have been arranged to plant wheat and corn, and the rest of the original seeds are planted this year, about 80,000 acres of land have been planted, and wheat and corn are basically half each, which is already the limit of what we can take care of, and the rest of the places are now used as pastures, and we are now raising 80,000 head of cattle, 40,000 sheep, and a chicken farm is being built."
"It's still not enough people, but damn America won't let us hire more, which limits our development." Guo Yu is still a little indignant.
"How's the shipping company doing?" Guo Yu continued to ask.
"Boss, I'm already negotiating with a medium-sized ocean shipping company in San Francisco, and the recent outbreak of the European war has made the shipping industry booming, so it's going to be a bit more cumbersome to buy, and the price is a little better than before," Alr replied. ”
"You do your best, I hope to complete it, this involves our future development in Nanyang, how is your acquisition of Nanyang land."
"I've sent someone to the Netherlands, but I haven't replied yet, and it is estimated that there will be a response soon, after all, it is just a colony, and it is so desolate, it should not be difficult to take it." Al said.
After Al left, Guo Yu called the security guards and asked to go around the security team to see how they were training.
On the playground, there were about 3,000 people training, and Harder, Dazhu, Erzhu and Li Meng were all here, and when they saw Guo Yu coming over, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Dazhu, how is the situation with the escort?"
"Master, the escort team has recruited three thousand people, and now they are training, and these people have all participated in the training before, and they are all practicing very quickly." Otsuki replied.
At this time, Harder also said: "Boss, I will train them to be as elite as the German Army." Then he stroked his beard.
After coming out of the playground, Guo Yu rode to the field to take a look, the slightly undulating field, the ridges stretched endlessly, and from time to time a few employees could be seen working in the field. The sky is clear, the breeze is blowing, and it is an idyllic scene.
At night, Hu Yunyuan and Xiaoni waited for Guo Yu to take a bath together, which was Guo Yu's favorite moment. And Lisa has gradually changed her role, and now she is more like a subordinate, usually managing the work of Huafu Academy, and her work is also very serious and responsible, only occasionally stealing ** with Guo Yu.
When Guo Yu is taking a bath, he always likes to look at his merit points, although he knows that it will not be possible to upgrade in the near future, but he is also happy to look at the points that are slowly rising. Now it has accumulated another 3 million points, and it has only been three months, and it seems that the development of the country has accelerated again.
However, the money I spent here is also getting faster, tens of millions of dollars, and it is much less to spend a lot of money simply, it seems that I have to speed up, go to Nanyang as soon as possible, stabilize dìng and start to explode black technology, sell industrial products, at least let the income and expenditure here be flat, otherwise I will be eaten bankrupt, it seems that feeding millions of people is not a simple job, not to mention that there will be more people in the future.
