266. It's nothing more than a dewy affair
The quiet hall seems to be filled with the smell of money, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the rustle of a pen on a check.
Ji Fa is very excited now, she probably counted, and the artworks sold today have totaled nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Although this price is not as good as before Chen Li'an's current artwork, it is enough to make Ji Fa excited.
Because the cost is so low, she recovered more than 3 million for more than 400 works of art, and now she has only sold less than half of them, but she has received nearly three times the return.
Art investment is really like gold stocks, as long as there is good news, the price will continue to rise.
And it will slowly rise over time, and no matter how you look at it, it is a profitable business.
In particular, the artworks in the hands of these art collectors will only raise the price with their own hype auctions, and it is not a problem to multiply them several times.
In the past two years, the art trading market has been relatively stable, and as long as there is no large-scale financial crisis, the art trading market will not be sluggish.
Ji Fa is not only an art manager, but also a master of finance, and knows these things very well.
Most people who have been familiar with the art market also understand this, and it is difficult for the value of art to fall unless there is a problem with the artist himself.
After Ji Fa silently calculated in his heart, he felt that if he continued to launch the follow-up plan in the next few days, he should be able to continue to sell a large number of artworks.
This made Ji Fa very excited, and felt that Xiangjiang was really a good place, no, it should be said that Xiangjiang in 96 years was really a good place.
If it had been a little later or earlier, it would not have the effect it has now.
It's just a pity that Bernard is leaving, and Jifa wants him to collect a few more works of art.
Bernard looked at Ji Fa and said: "You have found a good business, this business can't be done in France, it just so happens here, Ji Fa, you are really talented in business." ”
Ji Fa agrees with Bernard's statement, there are too many artists in France, there are too many galleries, and the art trading market is too mature.
However, in the face of Bernard's praise, Ji Fa did not take all the credit alone, and said with a smile: "It's not all my credit, the main thing is that Chen Li'an wants to help young artists in China, and we also have a very good team." ”
Bernard nodded and said, "Chinese artists are very good, and we should be able to see a lot of Chinese artists in Venice next year." ”
This is one of the reasons why so many people are willing to collect these works of art today, the Venice Art Biennale is the Olympics of the art world, and Chinese artists will officially go out next year.
Just like joining the WTO, anyone who is smart can see that the prospects and potential of these works of art have also become greater.
If you don't invest in this time, you may not have such a good opportunity in the future.
Bernard glanced at the time and said to Ji Fa: "I'm leaving, I'm going to Singapore, let's have a good chat next time in Paris." ”
"Absolutely." Ji Fa looked at Bernard and smiled, then turned his head to look at Chen Li'an, who was chatting with the two beauties, and couldn't help but have a headache.
Bernard also turned his gaze to Chen Li'an, and couldn't help but smile and said: "He is a very romantic person, as romantic as a French man, he should have been born in France." ”
"I still don't want it, then the women of France will go crazy." After Ji Fa made a joke, he walked towards Chen Li'an.
Chen Li'an was discussing water-soluble oil painting materials with Zhou Huimin, who was recently studying gouache painting.
"Gouache painting is very good, it has the dual characteristics of oil painting and watercolor, and it is good to apply it impasmal when painting."
Chen Li'an said seriously, Yu Guang noticed that Ji Fa came over, so he sped up his speech and said to Zhou Huimin: "If you mix more water, the watercolor effect will be heavier, but it can't achieve the reflection and transparency of watercolor, you need to feel it yourself when painting."
After listening to this, Zhou Huimin nodded seriously, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Then how to master the superposition of background colors?" ”
"Maybe you can go home and try a few more times for yourself."
Ji Fa's voice suddenly came from the side, Chen Li'an turned his head to look at her helplessly, feeling that she was very resentful, but he also noticed Bernard looking at him from a distance, and probably guessed in his heart that Ji Fa was complaining that he didn't show it in the past.
Zhou Huimin was stunned for a moment, not knowing what this foreign woman who suddenly appeared meant, and looked at Chen Li'an with doubts in her eyes.
Chen Li'an said to Zhou Huimin with some embarrassment: "This is my manager Ji Fa, she has other things to do with me, next time I discuss this issue with you, I will leave first." ”
In Zhou Huimin's somewhat lost eyes, Chen Li'an and Ji Fa left, and Li Lizhen next to her couldn't help but chuckle.
There were times when the head of the jade girl was left out in the cold, and Chen Li'an and the French woman didn't even apologize to her.
Li Lizhen looked at Zhou Huimin and said, "He is actually a very gentle and gentlemanly person. ”
Zhou Huimin turned her head to look at Li Lizhen, and immediately understood the meaning of her words, meaning that she couldn't look down on herself, so she was not a gentleman to herself?
"yes, you seem to know him well." Zhou Huimin glanced at Li Lizhen meaningfully, then turned around and left.
Ji Fa glanced back at Zhou Huimin and complained to Chen Li'an: "What's the matter with you, when can't you soak a girl." ”
Chen Li'an: "." I'm talking about art! It's not a pickle girl!
Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an, who was silent, and said angrily: "Bernard can support you, you should take the initiative." ”
"Okay, I'll be grateful." Chen Li'an said obediently.
Chen Li'an is very grateful to Bernard, the big donor, and walked up to him and sincerely thanked him for coming over to support him.
Bernard smiled and said: "No need to thank me, I liked this trip to Xiangjiang, your art space is the best I have ever seen, not to mention that I have a lot of interesting art collections." ”
"Thank you for the like." Chen Li'an smiled and thanked Bernard and didn't stop until he was sent to the car outside.
There were still a lot of reporters outside at this time, and when they saw Chen Li'an and Bernard appearing, they all came around and wanted to interview.
However, they were all blocked by Bernard's bodyguards, but there were still many reporters shouting at Bernard through the security guards.
"Mr. Bernard, did you come to support Chen Li'an on purpose? What do you think of the artwork here? ”
Bernard glanced at the reporter and did not answer his question, but hugged Chen Li'an gently and said, "I hope to see you in Paris next time." ”
"Okay, I wish you a nice trip to Singapore."
After Bernard got in the car and left, the bodyguards also withdrew, and the reporters who were stopped instantly surrounded Chen Li'an.
"Mr. Chen, what is your relationship with Bernard?"
"Is it true that he is said to have a lot of your collection?"
"I've heard that he offered three million dollars for your Wave 2 work, right?"
"How many works of art did Mr. Bernard buy this time?"
The reporters' gossip questions gave Chen Li'an a little headache, and what was even more headache was that he was surrounded, and he knew that he had arranged a few bodyguards for himself.
Chen Li'an has always been very confident in his skills, so he didn't think about the problem of bodyguards, and at this time he suddenly thought that the role of bodyguards is not only to protect his personal safety, but also to protect himself from harassment.
Chen Li'an relied on his physical fitness to protect Ji Fa without saying a word to squeeze out of the crowd, and only breathed a sigh of relief after entering the art space.
The security guard at the gate helped Chen Li'an stop the reporters, who wanted to come in and visit, but they couldn't bring cameras and video cameras.
This directly blocked 90 percent of the reporters.
However, there were also reporters who were paired with two people, who handed over the equipment to one person and followed him in.
Getting rid of the reporters, Chen Li'an was much more relaxed, looked at Ji Fa, who was sorting out his clothes, and asked, "How many reporters outside are arranged by you." ”
Ji Fa pulled his hair and said calmly: "Half of it was arranged by us." ”
Chen Li'an: No wonder the questions asked by the "......" are more targeted.
It is estimated that tomorrow's newspapers will continue to trumpet that the French rich are particularly fond of Chinese art, and they come from far and wide to visit and spend a lot of money on collecting.
Coupled with the local wealthy businessmen and celebrities in Xiangjiang, a lot of hype should be able to fool many people again.
That's it for the celebrity effect.
The public has a herd mentality, and don't stocks also arrange experts to go on TV every day to promote them.
After Chen Li'an went back, he was busy ushering in the delivery, and he didn't have time until the afternoon.
Chen Li'an, Ji Fa and others, who had been busy all day, went to the lounge at the back to rest.
Although everyone was tired, they were all excited, because today's income exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which was converted into more than 1 million US dollars.
"It was a really successful day and we should celebrate it." Ji Fa looked at Chen Li'an and said.
I don't know how many of the more than five million dollars of artwork Ji Fa has handled, but this million still makes her very excited.
Chen Li'an also sat up from the sofa and looked at them and said, "It's really a success, it's all thanks to your planning, and you should really celebrate it tonight." ”
Ji Fa, Cheng Shufen, and Wang Zuxian looked at each other and laughed.
Women are also ambitious, and doing this thing so well that the sense of accomplishment is not comparable to the joy of buying a few bags.
But now they don't want to celebrate, so they pull Chen Li'an to discuss the future plan together.
Ji Fa said excitedly: "Now that the artwork has been successful, the next step is to launch a few artists to raise the price of their works, and then start the merchandising program at the same time." ”
The so-called commodity is to develop peripheral souvenirs, these things were prepared by Chen Li'an as early as last year.
Chen Li'an designed a lot of handicrafts, and also found a lot of mainland artists to design together, Cheng Shufen and Wang Zuxian had already found someone to start mass production.
However, Chen Li'an didn't expect these things to make much money, just like a set of crystal cups and some decorative ornaments he designed, Cheng Shufen and Ji Fa were ready to sell tens of thousands of yuan a set, and I don't know how many people would buy such expensive things.
It is estimated that only those rich people will buy these things, and the ordinary middle class is estimated not to buy these things.
But Ji Fa had a different opinion on this, and she said to Chen Li'an with great interest: "There will definitely be a lot of people who buy it, this is an alternative luxury, and it is designed by the artist himself, and the materials are all expensive materials, tens of thousands of yuan are already very cheap." ”
Chen Li'an: "." Ji Fa is really black, standard capitalist!
Chen Li'an didn't want to participate in these specific tasks, he was too lazy, and he couldn't do these meticulous tasks well.
He's only suitable for creative work, and he's not an artist.
For the next two days, Chen Li'an stayed in the art space, while Ji Fa and Cheng Shufen went to implement the next step.
Li Lizhen has often run here these days, and every time she comes, she will go around inside to find Chen Li'an.
At first, Chen Li'an thought that she was going to see if her paintings had been bought, but later found out that she had never looked at her paintings, so it was a little strange what she was looking for.
Li Li is really looking to see if Zhou Huimin has come, she has a very strange comparison with Zhou Huimin, obviously she is a jade woman who made her debut, but now she has become a lustful woman, and Zhou Huimin is still the head of the jade girl.
Li Lizhen has always been unable to compare with Zhou Huimin in her career, and that day when she saw Chen Li'an not giving away from Zhou Huimin, she inexplicably felt like she had won over Zhou Huimin.
This time, Li Lizhen, who had turned around again, came to Chen Li'an's side and said happily: "Do you have time tonight?" I want to treat you to dinner. ”
"Not tonight, I've already made an appointment." Chen Li'an looked at Li Lizhen and asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly want to invite me to dinner?" ”
Li Lizhen pursed her lips and looked at him and said, "It's nothing, I just want to invite you to dinner." ”
The real reason Li Li really didn't dare to say, she especially wanted to get married and have a child of her own this year, and Chen Li'an was the best choice.
It's just that she's not sure, to be precise, not sure at all, but it's her character to always try.
Chen Li'an didn't see Li Lizhen's thoughts, thinking that it was just an ordinary dinner, so he said: "Next time I'll invite you to eat, I made an appointment tonight, and I have to go back to the mainland tomorrow, and I don't have time in the past few days." ”
I made an appointment with Zhou Huimin in the evening, and I wanted to go to her house to see the paintings, and by the way, I would guide Zhou Huimin to paint gouache paintings, and Chen Li'an also planned to demonstrate it in person.
"Back to the mainland? So when will you come back? After Li Lizhen asked, she realized a problem, Chen Li'an is not from Xiangjiang, he has to go back to the mainland after all, and he and him are at most dewy love.
Marriage and children are just my own delusions, and there will be no possibility.
Thinking of this, Li Lizhen looked at Chen Li'an's handsome face, and immediately became active, took his hand and walked to the lounge behind.
Since it's a dew relationship, let's dew a few more times until there is no water! It doesn't matter if the sofa is wet, you have to wet the floor!
