Chapter 307: Buying a piece of land in New York in three years
After two years in the industry, Chen Xing finally saw the peak of the industry.
The big guy he met last night was more than he had seen in the past few years. And don't look at it as just a photography festival, but there are a lot of well-known directors...... Refers to the familiar movie.
Chen Xing's face fruit is also very useful.

In life, it seems that nothing has changed.
The food is still the same, the same person who gets up from the bed in the hotel, and the eyes are still the same scenery as usual.
Only a slight change in mentality.
The exhibition in Arles is over, but the works are not cleaned up in a day, so for more than ten days after that, the city is still a nest for photography enthusiasts, and tourists still keep coming here.
In addition to some surrounding places, the tour of France is worth a trip to the south.
First of all, there is a different architectural style in the south of France than in the center, and secondly, the French here are still relatively pure, they yearn for freedom and romance more than Parisians, there are not many blacks in the city, and there are no gypsies and thieves.
In addition to life, there are great changes in career.
As soon as the awards ceremony ended yesterday, Seth talked to himself once and wanted to leave the website he founded.
Although it is a bit shabby, Chen Xing has also sold a lot of photos through this website in the past two years. Since yesterday, the photos on this website have been non-sale, and it has become a place to display Chen Xing's works in addition to the gallery.
In the gallery, an ordinary photo of Chen Xing used to cost between 10,000 and 30,000.
To be honest, in addition to color grading, there are many photographers who can take pictures of this kind of photo, and their price is between 1,000 and 5,000 euros. Chen Xing used to sell Chinese-style color palettes, which was also the museum's previous promotional point.
But in a different way, the rise in fame after winning the award has increased the price of his works several times.
And there is no market.
Because yesterday morning, Chen Xing's photos were already snatched up.
After discussing with Chen Xing, Seth decided that he would only sell 88 photos a year, and the pictures would be auspicious, and a batch would be released in the gallery every month. At the same time, it is also necessary to find a batch of good ones from Chen Xing's inventory and put them in the gallery as signboards.
At this time, you don't have to worry about what is Chinese or not, as long as you shoot well, there is no problem.
Because at this time, the label that the gallery gave him was completely unnecessary, and an international photographer's prefix would solve all the problems. It is estimated that no photographer or collector in the world would not recognize the winners of the Rencontres d'Arles.
I opened the small door behind the gallery and walked in, said hello to the staff, and walked into the office area.
"Mr. Abbott." Chen Xing shouted as soon as he came in.
"Hey, boy, you were so handsome yesterday."
"Did you go to the scene too?" Chen Xing asked.
He didn't see this boss last night, there were a lot of people on the scene, some of them were dressed in bells and whistles, Chen Xing just followed the teacher everywhere to meet the big guy, and he didn't know that his boss was also at the scene.
"Of course I'll go, I've been waiting for you to win the prize for a long time."
Although he is already very rich, he suddenly sees that a thing he likes suddenly increases in value several times and is recognized by almost everyone, which is his favorite moment in literature and art.
Chen Xing's works are recognized as some of the best in the industry, one at the Paris Art Society, and two in the gallery. Among them, the winning Miao Village has long been bought by Abbott, and now it belongs to his private collection, and there is only Buddha Guang and the Tibetan old man who turns the mountain.
These two pieces are to be sold to major museums to increase popularity.
The old man who turned the mountain before was tepid, but now there are so many people who want to buy it that they are about to break through the threshold, and Seth's face is numb with laughter.
Chen Xing doesn't care where his photos are placed, he only cares about money now.
So many photos were sold at once, and the people in the office in the gallery were crazy. But even so, they also adhere to the life of going to work at 10 o'clock and leaving work at 4 o'clock in the afternoon to drink coffee.
If they didn't like Chen Xing more, let alone get off work at four o'clock, it is estimated that they would be ready to get off work at three o'clock.
Chen Xing came today to watch them settle accounts.
He waited to get the money......
Abbott came to the gallery and had something to do with Chen Xing.
He came to collect the paintings.
He had shown off Chen Xing to many people before, and he was not the kind of businessman who signed him because he thought Chen Xing had a promising future, but because he liked the photos taken by Chen Xing, he wanted to help promote his famous.
So I really don't want to sell this photo, I like it for one reason, and the other reason is that it's very memorable.
Put it here, in case any friend kills it directly, it will be over if you don't stop it.
So he wants to put the photos in a safer place first.
He instructed people to move the paintings, and suddenly remembered something and said to Chen Xing: "You wait a while, I still have a gift for you." ”
Chen Xing was curious and asked, "What is it?" ”
"It's not mysterious to say it, you wait here a little longer, I'll ask someone to pick it up."
Chen Xing nodded.
He didn't get back to the hotel until noon, and his income was almost over by noon today.
Some people may say that if you add up all the money you make from selling photos and divide it proportionally, isn't it over? Just a few million euros is not a lot, is it not enough to spend a few days?
Oh, naïve.
If it were that simple, there would be no tax disputes in the world.
Chen Xing and Seth chatted about their future lives, and Chen Xing was thinking about how to spend the money he earned, which was a very vulgar idea. Seth kept telling Chen Xing what he wanted to do with the gallery in the future, opening a branch in Paris in one year and buying a piece of land in New York in three years.
It's a good dream.
Chen Xing also wants to make Amerika's money.
But so far, Chen Xing is only famous for his full gallery, and if he wants to fulfill this dream, he has to push a few artists to go out.
Only an hour later, Mr. Abbott's car was parked in the alley behind the gallery, and Mr. Chen saw the car through his office window and saw someone taking a white box with a sign on it from the back seat.
Kind of familiar.
Chen Xing and Seth both walked out.
Seth reacted faster than Chen Xing, came out and saw the package and said, "Isn't this the mark of National Geographic?" Boss, what did you give him? ”
"National Geographic?"
Chen Xing reacted immediately, the logo of Huaxia National Geographic is not much different from this.
"yes, you can take a look."
Seeing that Chen Xing and the others had all come out, Abbott was not ready to enter the gallery again, and asked Chen Xing to unpack with a smile.
In fact, when Chen Xing heard such a name, he probably knew what it was.
This gift is very delicately wrapped, and it looks very expensive from this aspect. Because this packaging is not second-hand packaging by the person who bought it, but the original packaging.
Finally, after opening the carton, the contents were indeed as Chen Xing expected.
Pick it up and shake it, a travel bag.
The classic National Geographic black gray, and it is not the same as what is sold on the Internet, the bags searched for on a certain east or a treasure are relatively small, said to be a travel bag, but a travel bag that is more suitable than him is everywhere on the Internet, and it is cheap.
But this one is very big, about the same size as Chen Xing's original bag, and I don't know what material is used on this side with a strap, it feels soft to the touch, but finding an angle can make this side very hard and very stiff.
The reason for this feature is that two pulley devices are hidden underneath the backpack.
Most of the time, this bag is still to be carried like a general travel bag, but if you are in the city and the backpack contains a lot of things, you can use this function to make travelers more comfortable.
Wow......
Chen Xing exclaimed in his heart.
The waterproofing function seems to be good.
There's a lot to pack...... There is also a self-contained power bank? Where do you put it, can you still charge this backpack?
This skin is really textured to the touch, what is it made of?
Some high-tech functions still need Chen Xing to explore slowly, Abbott saw that Chen Xing liked it, and he, the person who gave the gift, was satisfied, and said: "Your previous bag has been used for so long, I recently went to the United States, and when I passed by, I happened to use your name to set this down, the number of the backpack is unique, and you can still be found on their website." ”
"Thank you, boss." Chen Xing said very sincerely.
Who wouldn't want to work for such a boss?
"You just take more good scenery and come out, I have too much entertainment, and if I have time, I will also push off some of the travel."
After Abbott gave this gift, he looked at his watch and said, "Then you talk, I'll go first, Seth, if you have anything you can't solve, call me again." If someone comes to the gallery and says they want to see Chen Xing's Night Ancient Village, you will say that they were taken away by me. ”
said to go, and immediately got in the car and left without waiting for them to react.
I guess there's something going on.
Seth looked at Chen Xing's bag with a little envy, even if he didn't use this thing, it would look good to collect it.
"The boss is definitely your number one fan."
Chen Xing smiled, carried the travel bag to try the feeling, and said, "Is this what the big brother feels like?" ”
"What's the big brother?"
Chen Xing gave Seth a little more about the meaning of the word.
YouTube also has anchors, and he will understand it after a little explanation.
The live broadcast industry is toxic, as an anchor on YouTube, the income of the head anchor cannot be compared with the domestic anchor at all, but the income of video is far more than any video platform in China, and the difference is the big brother on the list.
After waiting for a while, with the promise of inviting a few girls to a big dinner, they finally got them to calculate the money before lunch.
Chen Xing can share 1.91 million this time.
The unit is the euro.
Part of the money will be deposited in Huaxia Bank, and the rest will be left in an account opened by Chen Xing in France.
At Chen Xing's urging, Seth completed the transfer in half an hour, and then complained: "I don't know what you're anxious about, don't you have any urgent things to spend money on, as for coming to the gallery early in the morning to guard?" ”
Chen Xing looked at the text message sent to the account, and said in Chinese: "I'm scared of poverty......"
He really didn't need to use the money, but he was happy to see that he had so many numbers in his bank account.
"What did you say?"
This time, Chen Xing didn't explain to him, holding the new bag with the brand, Chen Xing was ready to leave, and said: "I'll transfer you two thousand euros in a while, you take those beauties out for a good meal, don't be corrupt kid." ”
"You're not going?"
Seth knew that Chen Xing was going to treat the employees of the administration department, but he didn't expect Chen Xing, the main owner, to run away.
"I'm not going."
Hedwig was still waiting for him in the hotel, and Hedwig was still not comfortable with crowded social situations. In the past, I might have thought that Hedwig's personality would be too withdrawn, but now I think it's good.
As long as you're not afraid of yourself.
It's too easy to find a girlfriend who is abroad and has almost cut off ties with her family. Don't think about any troubles in her family, in case she gets married in the future, she will get used to herself in life, not by herself.
Although she is very withdrawn and likes to be alone, she doesn't need others to take care of her life, and the most important thing is that Hedwig has not been brainwashed by the Internet and is a normal woman.
It's rare, it's rare.
I didn't think about it before, but now I think it's so beneficial.
Back at the hotel, Chen Xing knocked on Hedwig's door.
After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message: "It's me, open the door." ”
Then just wait outside.
He started to look at the pictures and paintings in the corridors outside, and there was a pair between the doors of every room, or photographic photographs, or watercolors, oil paintings, prints, etc., and there were many kinds of artworks.
The door opened a little, and Chen Xing hurriedly entered.
Then she found that the room was a mess again, with an easel in front of the window and a lot of paint on the floor...... Fortunately, the bed was still snow-white and clean, which made Chen Xing a little regretful.
Looks like she's going to sleep here at night.
Hedwig seems to have a talent for throwing paint around, but always finding it, and the bed has been enchanted with only the things of life - such as clothes, dresses, etc.
The workspace is messy.
Chen Xing put the food he bought on the table and said, "I have to buy you a big house in the future, and leave a room as a studio, otherwise the bedroom will always be so messy." ”
Hedwig smiled, her smile was still a little nervous, and her eyes couldn't stop looking to the side.
Nervous about what?
Chen Xing thought in her heart, and followed her gaze to see the easel placed in front of the window.
was turned over, and Chen Xing could only see the back.
"What are you drawing?"
Chen Xing wanted to go over and take a look, but Hedwig suddenly moved sensitively, grabbed Chen Xing and said, "Can't see it!" ”
"Whew~"
Chen Xing's tone dragged on......
Sent mine, right?
What a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, Xiao Xiu'er is scheming deeper than you.
Chen Xing didn't look at it, but he was just looking forward to it.
He sat on the bed and said, "Eat, how about we walk around Nanfa in the next few days?" Is there anything else you have to deal with in Paris? ”
Hedwig nodded happily, then shook her head again.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xing asked.
She looked at her drawing.
"Alright, let's go back to Paris first."
What a dream conversation—Hedwig thought to herself.
She wanted to get her own paintings out of the house first, and the inspiration in her mind had been pouring in for the past two days, and her emotions were overflowing, and she would wake up laughing quickly when she fell asleep.
Any artist should understand that this is not the time to run around.
