After being rejected by Lan Tianyu, Pullman was not reconciled, he continued to persuade and tried to impress Lan Tianyu.

With a sincere smile on his face, Pullman said: "I have been waiting here for a long time, and now I am very excited and honored to finally meet the author of this great painting, Mr. Lan Tianyu. Mr. Lan is a great oriental artist, this great painting represents the outstanding achievements of oriental art, and I sincerely hope that Mr. Lan can cooperate with us in the Louvre Museum and work together to promote oriental culture and art. ”

"If this painting, which represents the highest achievement of the Orient, is collected and exhibited in our Louvre, it will definitely cause a sensation and be a grand event for the integration and exchange of Eastern and Western culture and art! I hope that Mr. Lan will give careful consideration to my proposal. Pullman seemed to be infected by his lofty goals and was a little emotionally agitated.

"As an Oriental artist, it would be my honor to make a contribution to the promotion of cultural and artistic exchanges between the East and the West. It's just that the "Pine Eagle" and "Madonna in the Clouds" exhibited in the preview exhibition were specially created by me for this auction, and whether I want to collect these two paintings personally or in the museum, they can only be obtained through bidding, and this decision cannot be changed. I'm still very young and I still have a lot of room to grow artistically, and I am sure that it will be an honor for me to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Pullman and the Veillo Louvre Museum in the future. ”

Lan Tianyu's clear refusal made Pullman a little frustrated, if it weren't for the fact that the painting "Madonna on the Clouds" was too important in his mind, he would definitely not be stalked. Giving up is in line with his character.

He was ready to make one last effort, and if it didn't work, after he had done his best, he wouldn't regret it in retrospect.

Pullman continued: "Mr. Blue may not have realized my sincerity, I have been standing in front of this painting for three hours, and since the first sight of her, my heart has been captured by her. In my opinion, she should belong to the Louvre, and one day she will become another treasure of the Louvre! ”

"I have no doubt about that. I always believe that only by entering the Louvre can it be in line with its noble status, so that more people can understand the true meaning of art, and we Westerners can truly understand the essence of oriental art! If this painting becomes a personal treasure and is shelved by some private person, it will be a loss and regret for all of us, and this is the last thing I want to see. ”

In Lan Tianyu's view, although Pullman said very exaggeratedly, his tone and expression did not have a trace of falsehood, and it could be seen that Pullman was indeed sincere.

Before Lan Tianyu could say no again, Marjorie was already very dissatisfied with Pullman's words, and he sneered: "Is there only one Louvre Museum in the world?" Don't forget, our Metropolitan Museum of Art is also one of the great museums, and now the center of culture and art is our United States, if you follow your logic, this painting should be collected by our Metropolitan Museum, which is the most powerful for the exchange of Eastern and Western cultures. ”

"How can you Metropolitan Museum compare to our Louvre Museum? Whether from the point of view of history or collection, it is a well-known fact that we at the Louvre have won completely. Pullman said proudly.

"From the point of view of cultural exchange between the East and the West, there is no doubt that this work is the most appropriate collection in our metropolis. I'm sure Mr. Lan must think so. Moreover, I am willing to respect Mr. Lan's decision, and we at the Metropolitan Museum will definitely auction this great painting at auction. It will definitely not be like someone, who talks high-soundingly, but in fact has a dark mind, this kind of person is the most despicable. "Marjorie's counter-attack is getting sharper and sharper.

Although the two have always looked at each other unpleasantly because of various entanglements, with their identities and self-cultivation, they generally maintain restraint, and Marjorie's merciless counterattack finally annoyed Pullman.

He also refuted loudly: "It's funny that someone has a small belly and chicken intestines, but in turn slanders others with dark minds!" We will not be afraid of any competitors, let's talk about it is useless, and when the auction begins, we will see who will win! ”

"As long as it is a fair competition, we at the Metropolitan Museum will definitely win, let's let the facts speak." Having finally thwarted Pullman's plan, Marjorie was in a good mood.

If it's an open competition at auction, the Met still has some hope of winning. If the influence of the museum is used to impress the blue sky and rain, then there is no doubt that the winner must be the Louvre, Marjorie will not be stupid to compete with the Louvre in this regard, he only needs to destroy the other party's plan to achieve the goal.

Seeing that the-for-tat between the two had finally come to an end, Asoud interjected: "It seems to me that this Madonna in the Clouds has divine power, and its future value is immeasurable, and it will definitely become one of the greatest works in the history of world art." Losing the opportunity to collect this time may be a lifelong regret. However, Tianyu is still very young after all, and he will definitely create the same great or even greater works in the future, and when he has new works, if the Louvre and the Met are willing to collect, I believe that there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. ”

As a friend of Lan Tianyu, Asud naturally has to consider the problem from the standpoint of Lan Tianyu. Madonna on the Clouds is so good that the competition for this painting is now predictable that it will be fierce once the auction begins. But in the end, it can only be a private person, or an institution, or a large museum.

For Lan Tianyu, it is most advantageous for this painting to be collected by a famous museum, which represents that Lan Tianyu is recognized by the top art world, which is a great honor. Moreover, the public exhibition in the museum can allow more people to appreciate his works, which is more conducive to spreading his popularity.

Asud doesn't know if Blue Sky and Rain will create works comparable to "Madonna on the Clouds" again in the future, and if there are other works of the same level, of course it will be better; If not, works such as "Pine Eagle" and "Desert Travel" are enough for world-famous museums such as the Louvre and the Metropolis to compete for collections.

After the auction of "Madonna in the Clouds", Asoud believes that Blue Sky Rain will be famous all over the world, and if he takes this opportunity to establish a good relationship with famous museums such as the Louvre and the Metropolis, it will be more beneficial to the fame of Blue Sky Rain
