Chapter 36: Buying Paintings (I)
Don't leak the ghost!
Li Xianyun once thought that this ghost machine was some kind of heavenly way in the underworld.
But now he finally understood: this so-called ghost machine is probably related to the ghost eyes in his body.
It's just that the attitude of this ghost eye is very peculiar, very vague, and even very contradictory!
There are some things that he allows you to say, and some that he does not.
Some things that are related to him can be said, and some things that are also related to him cannot be said.
Exercise!
This ghost eye is inexplicable, even more incomprehensible than the UFO ghost.
The old ghost was robbed three times, and those who were punished didn't want it, and fell directly into a state of severe weakness, and Li Xianyun had to take the ghost back to let him recuperate.
However, Wei Li is not dead, if he waits for him to come out and then continues to ask, and survives a few more thunderstorms, maybe he can ask completely.
But it's not realistic to think about it: if this ghost path is not the way of heaven, but the way of the ghost eye, then what he doesn't want Li Xianyun to know, I'm afraid he won't have a chance to interrogate.
What if you change places?
For example, if you are here, let Dong Zixin and them ask over there in the ghost city, can this ghost eye be split?
This question haunted Li Xianyun, so he simply did an experiment.
He asked Dong Zixin to ask the shadow in the ghost town, but the shadow refused to say whether he was alive or dead.
So Li Xianyun knew.
Punishment ignores distance!
Exercise!
This also made Li Xianyun wonder again whether this special punishment was related to the ghost eye or the so-called Hades Heavenly Dao.
The head is big, forget it, don't think about it.
Anyway, the ghost eye can't come out now, it seems that there is still a bit of a bottom line, so there is no need to worry about anything for the time being, so I put away my mind and continue to face reality.
A few days later, Li Xianyun was still busy, but received a call from Shi Jun.
That meant inviting him to sit in the capital.
Li Xianyun was busy in the dark, and said casually: "How can I have time during this time, I'll come to you for tea in a few days." ”
Hearing this, Shi Jun was anxious: "Brother, I trust you very much!" ”
"Huh?" Li Xianyun was stunned, didn't I just have time to drink tea with you? Is there a yarn relationship with trust?
But then I remembered.
Fuck, I owe him 100 million.
Exactly a year has passed, and it's time to fulfill the contract, and the phone call from Shi Jun is to ask for money.
Li Xianyun laughed: "Damn! Buying a painting, right? You've got something to say, and I forgot about it if you didn't mention it. ”
Shi Jun was also frightened by him.
I almost thought you kid was going to pay off.
"Are you free?" Boss Shi asked cautiously.
"Yes, this must have! I'll be here tomorrow. Li Xianyun agreed.
It's done, it's good to have your words, Shi Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
In the afternoon of the next day, Li Xianyun came to the capital.
——————————
Shi Jun moved.
The once mansion has been sold and now lives in a small villa on the outskirts of the capital.
The area is about the same, mainly because the place is more remote.
Anyway, Boss Shi doesn't go to work, and he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
picked up Li Xianyun, and Shi Jun took him to admire his gallery.
"Celebrity calligraphy and paintings" are hung all over the walls.
Li Xianyun has gone all the way, just six words.
"Fuck" and "Can't read".
Speaking of celebrity calligraphy and painting, this is also a pit.
Why is it so expensive to sell a painting for millions of dollars?
Of course, there is artistic value, but if it is not touted by the rich, it will not be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in art.
And the reason why it is touted, to put it bluntly, is because celebrity calligraphy and painting, as an artistic expression, is the least likely to be mass-produced.
Film, photography, music, are all arts, but one thing they all have in common is that they can be mass-produced.
Calligraphy and painting are different, handmade works have low mass production, high preservation difficulty, and poor reproducibility, which also has the potential to be inflated valuation.
Because of this, the artists who do calligraphy and painting are very different from other artists - they are all otaku, and they can't wait to go out of the door, and if their daily life is too rich, they can't produce good works.
A certain otaku writer is happy in the film and television industry, and the result is that the quality of his works has declined for a while, alas, don't mention it.
It's different to do calligraphy and painting, you have to go to the field. It's better if one or more bigwigs are willing to lift you, and then your calligraphy and painting will immediately fly up on the spot - otherwise why should you recognize your painting? Do you really think there are a few people who understand art?
Therefore, most of the calligraphers and painters are good at dancing with long sleeves, and they have a wide range of contacts, and to put it bluntly, they are very capable of doing things - Van Gogh is too good at coming to things, so the value of his works will appreciate after his death.
Of course, this is also related to culture, many people think that the artist's work will not appreciate until after death, but in fact, the situation at home and abroad is not the same. This is the case with most artists abroad, and the opposite is true at home – they often have to live to appreciate.
The two awesome artists compete in the end, depending on who lives longer, and the one who survives to the end is the old artist.
It has to do with the culture of different countries!
Such a precious name as a national master is not humane to the dead, and it has to be meaningful to the living!
Far from it.
Li Xianyun once knew a painter back then, and I don't know if his paintings are good or not, but people are definitely social, from high-ranking government officials to business tycoons, and they are fully versed - no down, who buys paintings without money.
The writer is a good writer, his mouth is stupid, and one out of ten can speak and live; Painters are more exquisite, and most of them are good at finding painters.
Shi Jun's calligraphy and painting here, there is no antique level, all of them are the works of modern painters, and I have never heard of any fame.
But if you ask him how much he really spends, there are very few of them - most of them are gifts.
Give a painting to the big guy, make a friendship, don't lose the value, and wait for the big guy to sell the painting, and his own value will come out - so the painting for the big guy is reluctant to sell cheaply if he is willing to give it away.
Unless it's a deal like it is now.
At this moment, Li Xianyun followed Shi Jun from one end to the other, and he didn't see a good or bad thing, so he walked directly through the hall and came to the back garden, Shi Jun smiled: "How is it?" Which one do you like? ”
"I don't know if it's good or bad, you can get me a picture." Li Xianyun replied.
"Well, you can't say that. There are many celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and there may be more than 100 million in the future. Shi Jun said.
Li Xianyun sneered: "If you want to say that, then I can't buy it yet, isn't this taking advantage of you." ”
Shi Jun laughed: "Then I have to beg you to occupy it." ”
"Okay, I won't pick it either, you can wrap one as you like, and I'll ask the assistant to pay you." Li Xianyun sat down on the rattan chair next to him.
Shi Jun also sat down next to him, and the two chatted casually.
Not far away, a girl walked over: "Dad! ”
shouted.
The girl looks average, but has a good temperament, a typical elite white-collar appearance, and at a glance, she knows that she is Shi Jun's daughter Shi Juan.
The children of the big boss, don't care if there is a bag of grass in the stomach, the face is definitely embroidered.
Shi Jun smiled and beckoned: "Come and meet your Uncle Li." ”
Shi Juan walked over, nodded generously and smiled: "Li Donghao, I haven't thanked you for the previous things." ”
This is the first time Li Xianyun and Shi Juan have met, as a "princess", at least in the face of the big guy is neither humble nor arrogant.
On the surface, you can't fault anything.
Li Xianyun didn't say anything polite to her, just sat there and waved his hand casually: "Sit down." ”
Shi Juan sat down.
Li Xianyun said: "How is it?" How are you doing in Lanyuan? ”
Shi Juan smiled: "It's not bad, it's all your care." ”
Shi Jun said: "I just came back from Guinea a few days ago. ”
Li Xianyun snorted: "I heard." Lao Zhang said last time that he would develop a mine there and drink tea with the president. But I heard there's been a bit of chaos lately? ”
Shi Juan sighed: "It's a little troublesome. Guinea is the poorest country in Africa, with weak basic industries and all dependence on agriculture and mining, but it is not self-sufficient in food, and has the world's largest aluminum production, but it has no development capacity. A mining company under Lan Yuan intends to make a difference there, but the forces are tangled, and I am a member of the negotiation team. Two words are hard to understand. ”
Li Xianyun smiled: "But I heard that everything is going well." ”
Shi Juan smiled slightly: "What the official said, do you still not understand?" ”
No pop-ups
