Captain Zhao couldn't help but smile: "Then, there are not many works of art in our hands, compared with other civilizations, they are really not as high-grade as dirt buns." ”

Because it wasn't an informal meeting, he joked, "That is, hillbillies like us who don't understand art might give people a sense of nouveau riche?" ”

"It's not impossible ......"

Another deputy captain surnamed Zheng also joked: "Zhang Yuan, the painting that the painter Erwin gave you may be regarded as the most high-grade in our spaceship, and if you want to use it as an ornament at that time, you will have to borrow it from us...... Of course, just borrow, it will definitely be returned, and you will pay back the rent. ”

Zhang Yuan also laughed twice.

But...... The façade, cultivation and heritage of a civilization cannot be decorated by a painting......

After everyone calmed down, Zhang Yuan continued: "There are so many civilizations in the universe, each civilization has the art of each civilization, and if there are more of them, there will inevitably be high and low. So the problem, if according to the pure point of view of human beings, those high-value interstellar artworks must have extremely harsh requirements, and they cannot be bad street goods. ”

Several of the experts frowned, "Sounds reasonable...... However, Mr. Zhang Yuan, is there any point for us that you are here to discuss interstellar art? Could it be that the Gliese want to trade their art with us, and that obviously won't work. Even if a work of art does have value, we can't tell that value. ”

They couldn't figure out why Zhang Yuan suddenly shifted the topic to art, which is not the point at all!

"No, listen to me!"

Since Zhang Yuan said so, they just endured patience and continued to listen.

To judge the value of a work of art, of course, the first thing is the artistic quality, including the feelings contained in it, the meaning expressed, the artistic level presented, and other relatively virtual things...... These things are not good to say, it depends on personal preference.

"According to the eyes of our human artists, their artistic standards are quite good, that is to say, there is a certain commonality of feelings contained in them."

The second is that the civilization that created this work of art must have a long cultural ...... Whether it is the history of struggle along the way or the tragic and bumpy history, these histories must be enough to tell a story.

It has to have a story to have enough charm. Artists on Earth, Picasso, Van Gogh, each have their own unique story.

"Since it is an interstellar artwork, not only does the artist have a story, but even the story of the entire civilization must be interesting enough."

"There is no doubt that the Gliese civilization meets these requirements. The germ of science has not sprouted for a long time, and it is finally inspired by an alien civilization, but it is stuck because of the lack of oxygen. ”

"A great tragedy!"

Finally, of course, there are all kinds of additional conditions, for interstellar civilizations, it is simply too easy to forge a work of art, and these additional conditions are all anti-counterfeiting information.

For example, this artwork can find a clear place of origin, it cannot be a black product, and it has a bright future; There must be a clear record of transactions, and what has been snatched from a corner of the world is not recognized.

The lack of any bit of security information will greatly reduce the transaction value of this artwork.

Li Zhendong added: "Art, high-end and high-grade things, must be civilized and elegant, and cannot tolerate any stains." That's why there was no looting or anything like that. Of course, it is also possible that this interstellar merchant cherishes his feathers and does not directly bully the Gliese civilization anyway. ”

And one last point......

It's best to be a one-of-a-kind piece!

That's what ......

Real focus!

Zhang Yuan said word by word: "...... In other words, the complete extinction of the civilization that created the artwork, or the inability to produce similar artworks for various reasons, will greatly increase the value of existing artworks. ”

"Scarcity is expensive, this is an inevitable event. While the artist is alive, the price of the artwork must not be too high, because similar art can be produced in a steady stream. Only when he dies will the price really go up. ”

By the time this comes to this, the whole answer is already on the horizon!

In an instant, there was silence in the entire conference room!

Why did that interstellar merchant do this?

What is its motivation?

Why give away 13 universal factories?!

Is it because of kindness, pity, sympathy?

No, not at all!!

Those professors, who were a little drowsy, suddenly had their pupils constricted, and they thought of an extremely sinful possibility!

Fifty thousand years ago, an interstellar merchant passed by and discovered the Gliese civilization, which was stuck in the "Age of Electricity".

After a deal between the two sides, the Star Merchant was very "generous" to say that they would not only be able to help the Gliese civilization complete the electrification, but also be able to give away 13 universal factories to make the Gliese people live a better life.

You got what you wanted, I got what I wanted, and both parties were happy......

The Star Merchant left, as if he had only done a trivial matter. No one condemns them, and even if they did, they would praise them from the bottom of their hearts—what a helpful, kind, friendly, and generous civilization.

The weak and ignorant Gliezers wept with gratitude, and one by one they were fanatical, trembling, and praising them.

"How ...... we are Good luck! ”

However, the rest of history is already predestined!

In the face of the uncontrollable huge productive forces, they jumped into the fire pit without hesitation, and the flames, what a beautiful thing, are legends, myths, and unimaginable existences in dreams.

Inadvertently, the whole person was already burning, and even before they knew it, they were still praising from the bottom of their hearts, praising the generosity of the alien civilization, and praising from the heart.

Little did they know that they had been burned to ashes by the raging flames!

In the end, there is only a pile of residues that will never change, witnessing this period of history, as the "anti-counterfeiting mark" of this transaction!

Zhang Yuan said in a low voice: "That's it, they can't create similar art anymore. ”

"Naturally, the price of those traded goods has gone up, hasn't it?"

"This is what we speculated, the real motive of this interstellar merchant to give away 13 universal factories!"

In the dim starry sky, a pair of ruthless eyes seemed to appear, shattering the so-called morality, benevolence, and etiquette.

I'm sorry to make this deal more valuable......

Please,

Go to hell.
