Chapter 111: Good Show
"You told me at the time that you wanted to know who the buyer was, so I told your senior brother and sister and asked them to help you pay attention, and your senior sister took a photo with someone."
Song handed over the phone.
Gu Yingqing looked at the two strange people in the photo.
The woman in the bohemian dress and the hot wool rolls, she could only make out some familiarity when she looked closely.
It's indeed one of her senior sisters.
When the coat entered the military training, the senior sister was a member of the art department of the student union in the college, giving them a condolence performance for the new students.
Next to the senior sister is a tall and thin middle-aged man, with a beard, wearing a three-piece suit that looks like a custom-made one, quite gentlemanly.
Gu Yingqing was struggling with whether to ask for a name, she always felt that this was a deal, people bought paintings for charity, if she wanted to know more about others, wouldn't it be a little offensive?
Gu Yingqing returned the phone to Song Qiwen.
Song asked, "You don't want to know how much he spent on your paintings?"
Gu Yingqing didn't dare to speak, thinking that if he asked this, the price would definitely exceed her imagination, after all, he said just now that this person was quite rich.
Song Qiwen is still wearing the business half-sleeved sweatshirt during the day, and the famous watch on his wrist shows the status of a successful person.
There was tiredness between the man's handsome eyebrows, but the light in his eyes encouraged her to ask.
Gu Yingqing took a long time before he spoke: "How much?"
Song Qiwen compared a "1".
If it is 10,000, this is the same price as the price she set herself, and Song Jiewen does not need to deliberately come out with the price.
Gu Yingqing tried to guess higher, "One hundred thousand?!"
Song Qiwen shook his head and directly told her the transaction price: "One million."
Gu Yingqing said "haha" twice, obviously not believing it, thinking that Song was scheming her, she knew that this person was used to joking.
Song Qiwen just looked at her with a smile and didn't speak, Gu Yingqing gradually couldn't laugh, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
She was puzzled.
No more happiness, only worry.
She is a newcomer to the painting industry, and someone takes a picture for 1 million, which will not bring fame and fame, but only a discussion about whether she is worthy or not, whether she has a promoter behind her, and it is easy to be picked up by others.
She'd heard of such examples, and more than one.
At this price, his grandfather didn't have many paintings that could get this price.
Fortunately, her signature and the author's profile only used a single word "clear".
If she is picked up for such an experience......
Song Qiwen saw her mood change, probably guessed what she was worried about, and said, "Don't panic, it's actually a bit inside, I have to say sorry to you first."
Song was afraid that no one would care about her paintings, so he asked a friend to go to the scene as a trustee, and if he met someone who wanted to buy a painting, he would pretend to be a competitor next to him to bid for it, and if no one bought it, he would let this friend buy the painting.
Not long after Song Qiwen's friend wandered around the painting, someone took a fancy to the painting and wanted to buy it, so this friend stepped forward and began to play the role of "support" and bid at a higher price.
After the two raised the price to 50,000 yuan, they added another collector, that is, the middle-aged man who finally bought the painting, and sighed at the subtlety of the painting, and then increased the price to 100,000 yuan.
Unfortunately, this collector and the previous one are acquaintances and rivals, and the two often break up because of the bidding disputes, and it is not uncommon for them to buy the lot at an inflated price in order to win.
These two met on a narrow road and fell on the bar, and the audience knew that this was a gathering of rivals, just watch the show and wait for the result.
In the end, the previous collector directly raised the price from 350,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan, wanting to take it in one go.
This is the upper limit he preset, no matter how much money he has, no matter how reckless he is, he is not wronged.
And his competitors directly doubled, opened to one million, and won Gu Yingqing's mountains, rivers, birds and beasts, and finally raised his eyebrows again.
In the end, because of the intentions of these two people, the organizers paid for the event and the donations were made.
Because these two people got off to a good start, their subsequent paintings also sold quite well.
People don't put too much thought into the author of this painting.
Gu Yingqing breathed a sigh of relief, and in the end he had already listened to it as a joke, "So, what you really want to buy is this second collector who appears?"
Song Qiwen smiled: "It should be, but it's a pity that the painting has nothing to do with him. But that doesn't prove that the person who took the picture didn't really like it. If it's worthless, there's no way people can compete for it, right?"
"It doesn't matter, it's all sold anyway. It's the first time I've been to an art exhibition, and it's quite special to have this kind of experience." Gu Yingqing held his chin.
She seemed to be thoughtful, but in fact, it was because she was tired to the extreme, and her emotions were up and down just now, and she calmed down at this moment, and she felt that she was about to go out of her body.
Song Qiwen asked again, "Do you mind, what I am looking for?"
"Why mind? You're afraid that I'll be disappointed, and the original intention of doing this is to take care of my feelings, and I'm not so white-eyed wolf." Gu Yingqing said, "Just think, everything is for charity."
Song Qiwen poured her champagne again and toasted her, "For charity."
**
The next day, I went to the second site, from the provincial capital, nearly three hours by car, this time from the bus to a few business vehicles, everyone can comfortably catch up on sleep.
Gu Yingqing took a car with the person in charge of the local project team, in order to facilitate communication on trivial issues such as the itinerary.
The two of them are in their respective teams, and they both carry a suffix of "help", and Gu Yingqing calls her Liu Zhu.
Halfway through, Liu Zhu answered a phone call and told Gu Yingqing that the second site happened to be the construction project of the Road and Bridge Group invested by Dexin Group, and the senior management of their group inspected there and asked if they could have a meal together.
Gu Yingqing had learned from the company before that DXN had put a lot of effort into getting investment, and she didn't dare to refuse.
The convoy followed this popular travel route, and gradually, the plains were left behind, and the white mist and majestic mountains came into view.
This route is famous because from the provincial capital to the northwest end, you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons in one day, the plains maple forests, the grasslands and snow-capped mountains.
The terrain of many mountains will inevitably be cramped and precipitous, Gu Yingqing sat on the right side, and he could see the gurgling river, it was the season when the snow mountains melted, and the water was surging.
The mountain wall on the left, the water on the right, and the mountains in front of you, the scenery is indeed beautiful and a little chilling.
After a while, Liu Zhu answered the phone again, and hung up.
"Gu Zhu, I just received a call from the local counterpart, they said that it will rain at night, and the rain in the mountains may be even heavier, and it will be more dangerous for us to drive back to the city, and we will definitely delay it later. In my opinion, we can contact the place where we will spend the night in advance, and if we can't leave when it's too late, we can stay there."
Gu Yingqing said yes and asked her if she had anything to help with.
Liu Zhu said no, no, "I'm familiar with me to contact ......" She was also busy and dizzy, frowning and babbling, "These people are really, why did they suddenly say that they wanted to meet for dinner, and they didn't say hello in advance before, which caught people off guard."
