Chapter 50: Zhao Gang's Thoughts
Xiao Baoju is famous, indeed famous, even the People's Daily has released a special report on the young painter Xiao Baoju, coupled with continuous reports from the local media, Xiao Baoju's popularity has skyrocketed in just one week. After some inquiry, everyone came to the Wang Linkai Art Center. But Xiao Baoju understands the rules very well, and everything is headed by the teacher Wang Linkai, and Xiao Baoju does not exceed it. The teacher called to pass, and if he didn't call, he stayed in the studio and painted.
"Master, I don't think we should talk to Pony? Today, the boss who came from Jining, a piece of good luck gave Baoju 10,000. If you don't control it, you won't be able to catch it then! In the afternoon, Zhao Gang and Wang Linkai sat in the studio, and the two talked in a low voice.
"Yes, this incident caught me a little off guard, I didn't expect Liu Siqi, a girl, to be able to let the people report to Lao Shi to send news, which we didn't expect!" Wang Linkai has also been a little stunned these days, he didn't expect Xiao Baoju to look wilting on weekdays, but he didn't expect to do big things in a muffled voice.
"Why don't I talk to him? Or go according to four or six, you take five, I take one, leave him four? What do you think? Zhao Gang looked at Wang Linkai tentatively and said.
"Xiao Zhao, can you go talk to Lao Shi?" Wang Linkai didn't say anything, just said lightly. In fact, Zhao Gang, Wang Linkai, still knows a lot about this person, and he is a little greedy for money. However, there is nothing to be done! If Xiao Baoju agreed, Zhao Gang would sell him paintings with his life. It is in response to the old saying that people die for money, and birds die for food. Very normal!
In the afternoon, 4 o'clock. Zhao Gang knocked on Xiao Baoju's door, "Brother? Busy? Zhao Gang greeted Xiao Baoju happily, but he was very unhappy in his heart, what kind of shit luck did this goods take? Overnight, he became a popular young painter in Ludong. Whom to reason?
"Brother Zhao? Don't be busy, please be seated! Xiao Baoju was a little surprised to see Zhao Gang, you must know that you have been here for so long, Zhao Gang has never been to his studio once, and before Zhao Gang asked him for Zhao Zelin's notebook, Xiao Baoju did not give it to him. Since then, Zhao Gang has been lukewarm to Xiao Baoju. Today's posture seems to have come from something.
"Brother likes to drink flower tea? Wait until I bring you some black tea, you can taste my tea! Zhao Gang watched Xiao Baoju take out jasmine tea to make tea for himself, happily.
"Brother Zhao, what's the matter with you coming over today?" Xiao Baoju didn't say much nonsense to Zhao Gang, and went straight to the point.
"That's right, brother. According to the rules of our art center? You are considered to be the employees of the art center, with the help of the master's platform to make you famous, the art center is going to sign a contract with you, and after signing the contract, your artworks will have a wider market. Now it's a bundled economy, and we can't be exempt from vulgarity if we engage in art, right? This is a prepared contract, brother, look at it! Zhao Gang took out a printed contract from his arms and handed it to Xiao Baoju.
Good guy, once the contract is signed, it is for life, which means that he sold it to Wang Linkai Art Center. And it is divided into four and six, giving six to Xiao Baoju and leaving four, but the contract does not reflect what is the minimum income for Xiao Baoju in one year, is it clearly the overlord clause?
"Brother Zhao, I'll leave it and take a good look? Wait until tomorrow to get back to you? "Xiao Baoju naturally can't have a direct conflict with Zhao Gang, this contract is equivalent to a deed of sale, you can't be negligent!
"Oops, just sign it. Brother, you too. Be careful! Zhao Gang said impatiently.
"Brother Zhao, it's a bit irresponsible for you to say this. Let's wait until tomorrow! Xiao Baoju was a little unhappy.
"Brother, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, don't give this little face to my brother?"
"Give you face? Hehe Zhao Gang, what are you? Let me give you face? Xiao Baoju directly coldly faced.
"You.... Good.... Good.... Xiao Baoju, count yourself as bearable! You should negotiate this contract with Master Wang! After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he got up and left Xiao Baoju's studio without looking back.
Talk to Wang Linkai? Do you have any to talk about? Xiao Baoju will not sign this contract, signing the contract is equivalent to being caught by Wang Linkai in his life, he is learning from him, but there is no need to sell his life to him, right? After Zhao Gang slammed the door and left, Xiao Baoju also left the studio, but did not go to Wang Linkai's office, but went directly out of the compound.
Zicheng Jingxin Xiaozhu Tea House, there is a private room that Liu Siqi uses all year round. Because writing a manuscript needs to be quiet, Liu Siqi and the boss here are cousins, so they got a temporary office for Liu Siqi. Xiao Baoju knew that Liu Siqi had brought a lot of business to the teahouse owner.
"Cousin, is Kiki there?" Xiao Baoju walked in the door and greeted Liu Siqi's cousin happily.
"Yo! Brother, haven't you come to my brother's place for tea for so many days? Kiki just came over, can you go up? The owner of the teahouse knew Xiao Baoju and greeted Xiao Baoju very warmly.
Walking into the private room, Liu Siqi was buried in writing. After seeing Xiao Baoju walk in, he was a little surprised. "Brother Xiao, why are you here? Have you made an appointment with Tingting? ”
"Tingting is walking this way, Siqi, help me take a look at this thing!" Xiao Baoju handed the contract in his pocket to Liu Siqi.
A few simple pages of A4 paper, Liu Siqi was stunned for more than 20 minutes, and the shamelessness of these people is vividly displayed in this contract. "Brother Xiao, it's right not to sign this contract. This is no different than the ancient deed of sale! This is what Wang Linkai gave you? I really didn't find out! ”
"It's not Wang Linkai, it's that Zhao Gang! I'm helpless too! Huh..."
"Brother Xiao, I think you can come out and open your own studio now. I heard Tingting say, a lot of people from the art center have been looking for you these days, right? But how many did you sell? And how much money did you make? Where did those people go, and will they still talk to you? It's too late for people to show their work! Liu Siqi really felt that Xiao Baoju should leave the art center and set up his own studio outside. Since it is a work for sale, it is the same wherever it is sold.
"Siqi, you need to invest money to set up a studio! I... I don't have that much money right now! "Lack of money, that's a real problem. Xiao Baoju has opened a training class and knows the investment involved, and the rent and decoration all need a certain amount of funds to support. As far as Xiao Baoju's current income is concerned, he doesn't have this strength.
