Chapter 413: Origin

The so-called two-state competition is not as grand as Han Shuang imagined. In his mind, there should be countless long guns and short guns on the scene, and then there should be a televised broadcast.

How to say that it is also pK between the two states! How can you do it without a little force. The fact is that there are cameras, but not many, and they are not used for televising, but are convenient for judges to proctolate in real time.

There are not many teams participating, there are about a dozen groups, and each group is five people. Moreover, Han Shuang also noticed that the leaders of each group have a characteristic, that is, they are relatively wealthy.

Anyway, he has dealt with many rich people, and Han Shuang is still very confident in this judgment.

Rich people have an indescribable aura, not as arrogant as no one in their eyes, but with the confidence of looking at all directions.

If it weren't for the fact that the organizer was the Painting Association of Zhongzhou and Jizhou, Han Shuang would have thought that this was a competitive game that was privately discussed by a group of second-generation people!

Just like some desert racing activities, in order to pursue excitement, the second generation agreed on a time and drove a big guy to the desert with beautiful girls.

It doesn't matter how much money you burn, anyway, there is a lot of money, and what they want is to have fun. What Han Shuang didn't know was that the truth was not much different from what he thought.

The predecessor of the Liangzhou Sketch Competition was called the China-Hebei Art Alliance Chamber of Commerce Friendship Exchange Competition. The Chamber of Commerce is not an uncommon organization, and many CEOs join a Chamber of Commerce in order to avoid malicious competition and information sharing.

To put it bluntly, there is only one purpose: to get rich together. The initiator of the Chamber of Commerce must be the one whose prestige and assets can be convincing, and the president of the China-Hebei Alliance is such a person.

His family business covers various industries related to fine arts, and occupies more than 40% of the high-end market of charcoal.

The president is also a high roller who likes to make friends, and even if he is a peer, he admires him.

At a certain opportunity, this bold president established the Alliance Chamber of Commerce. Since most of the members are businessmen from the two states of China and Hebei, the name of the Chamber of Commerce was changed to the Chamber of Commerce of the China and Hebei Art Alliance.

Generally speaking, the businesses in the Chamber of Commerce are diverse, with CEOs from all walks of life. But the China-Hebei Art Alliance will be different, as can be seen from the name, this is a very pure single enterprise alliance.

The CEOs of the League were all engaged in art-related business, and Tang Jieshan, whose family business was not very large at that time, joined it in order to open up the Jizhou market.

As for the exchange competition, it has to start with a chamber of commerce banquet fifteen years ago. At the banquet, a Jizhou painting and paper industry tycoon drunkenly said to everyone: his young son is a unique painting genius, only eight years old, and has obtained the official third-level sketch certification.

As soon as these words came out, the other CEOs couldn't sit still. Since they are engaged in art-related professions, whose children do not have the talent to draw under the influence of ears and eyes or the inheritance of family genes?

So, there was an argument. The boss said that his eldest son was already a first-class painter. The boss said that his daughter had been studying painting abroad for more than two years, and her works had sold for millions of dollars.

There is also the boss who said that his grandson is a rare genius and will be a master in the future...... This topic also made the president of the League very interesting.

Because his favorite youngest son also happens to have a talent for painting! So, he took the lead in coming up with the idea of competition.

For a while, everyone agreed. Since it is a competition, the lottery is indispensable. But if you bet on money, not to mention vulgarity, maybe it will attract the attention of the official and then cause public opinion, which will cause a certain loss to the reputation of the company, after all, it is gambling!

So, after some deliberation, they bet on the company products that the participants are most proud of. For example, if there are 10 members participating in the competition, the other nine will have to offer products to the winning team.

Or a thousand fine pieces of paper, or five hundred wolf brushes, and so on. This initiative has attracted the approval of the vast majority of League members.

First of all, it is not a big win or loss, secondly, it can also consolidate the friendship of the second generation through artistic exchanges, and most importantly, it can stimulate the family honor of their own children!

It's a lot to kill! Hit it off right now! The intention has been reached, and the most important point is fairness.

In order to ensure absolute fairness, the president used his personal connections to persuade professionals from the art associations of China and Hebei to serve as judges.

This is not a matter for the Art Association. Isn't it just a symbolic launch of an event?

Looking at the sponsorship fees of these enterprises every year, they did not refuse. I readily agreed, but put forward one condition: all entries must belong to the association.

This can be regarded as a cautious eye left by the art association, they know very well that these people participating in the competition are the proud sons of various families, in case one of them becomes famous in the future, then his works are valuable!

The major families did not pay too much attention to this detail, but also put forward a condition: the work can be given to you, but the venue and related equipment must be provided by your association.

After some deliberation, the initial competition plan was determined. The exchange competition in the past few years was indeed very pleasant, and no one would care about the loss of a little profit.

However, with the successive defeats of some families, the temper has also risen, constantly increasing the competitive chips, and constantly looking for talented painters to replace their own children to compete.

Finally, after some reconciliation by the Art Association, the rules of the competition were changed. Participants must be relatives of the family!

However, to make the tournament more interesting and varied, there is a proviso: the same member of the family can only compete three times!

In addition, students from colleges and universities can also be found to participate in the competition as supporters. Slowly, it evolved into the current state.

Led by a member of the business family, assisted by four college students, they participated in this annual exchange competition.

The name of the event has also changed from the original league exchange competition to the current two-state sketch competition. This is Tang Jieyu's third and last year of competition, although she is Tianjiao, she has never won the championship once.

As Tang Jieshan's business territory became bigger and bigger, his face gradually became unbearable. There is no way, Jizhou is already known as the hometown of art, and there are many demons in painting, especially the Ye family, who is engaged in the brush business, and there are too many talented disciples in painting!

That's not all, the most famous art academy in Xia is located in Jizhou, and the students in it are afraid that they are a top genius!

If you want to win the championship, it's very difficult! However, for the original purpose of the exchange competition, even if the chance of winning is very small, Tang Jieshan did not think about abandoning the competition.

He knew very well that if he gave up the game, he would be quitting the Chamber of Commerce. The losses are far greater than the jackpot of the tournament!

Of course, if he can win the championship, his gains will be huge. Not to mention anything else, the Ye family's three thousand high-grade wolf hairs alone are worth tens of millions!

What about other families? Add a piece, and the total value will be at least hundreds of millions! That's why all families strive for the championship, not only to gain family fame, but also to pay a lot of material rewards!

This is also the reason why Tang Jieshan did not hesitate to give Han Shuang two million, as long as the latter can really get him back this championship, two million plus a Shuifang gold card, he really didn't pay attention to it.

Of course, Han Shuang didn't know these things. If he knew, he wouldn't have to ...... Add money.

But then again, even if he doesn't add money, he won't let go of such a grand event. After all, the bigger the pretending scene, the higher the achievement point!
