As art collectors, and the art collection business is their family’s main business, Elsa and Red have naturally entered the upper circles of the world’s major art fields through various means!
Whether it is music art, painting, calligraphy, sculpture, etc.!
Both of their families have a lot of connections.
Both of them are members of the Juilliard School Alumni Association. After chatting with a few senior officials of the school, they successfully came to Wang Qian
Reid enthusiastically stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Wang Qian, speaking in Chinese with excitement and admiration: “Professor, today’s class is the most exciting music and art class I have ever heard in my life. You It shows the world what true musical art is and what true historical talent is!”
Wang Qian looked at Reid and remembered who this was. He had met him once when Curtis was giving a lecture. He knew the purpose of the other person’s coming to see him. He smiled lightly and said politely. They shook hands and said two words calmly: “Thank you.
Aisha also stepped forward and shook hands with Wang Qian gently. The admiration in her eyes was more real, and her tone was more sincere and she said: “Professor, you are the **** of music!’
Wang Qian still said two words lightly: “Thank you!”
Reid continued: “Professor, the poem you just wrote is really great. Whether it is the poem itself or the calligraphy, it is the second best I have ever seen!’
Red looked at Wang Qian, paused deliberately, and then said: “Of course, in my eyes, the best thing is the “Xia Ke Xing” you wrote last time in China! Unfortunately, I only read it on the Internet The video you wrote about “Xia Ke Xing” has not been able to see the original work in reality. This is the biggest regret for a calligraphy lover and collector. I really want to miss the most beautiful thing in the world.”
Even Wang Qian felt a little embarrassed by this compliment.
After hearing this, He Chaohui, Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue and others all looked at Reid with some surprise. This Reid seemed to be a fan of Wang Qian.
Wang Qian still replied with two words: “Thank you.”
Disappointment flashed in Reid’s eyes, and he said with regret and admiration: “If I can get one of your works, it will definitely be the greatest luck in my life.
The smile on Wang Qian’s lips flashed: “Sorry, I’m a little tired today, I’ll take my leave now.
Red knew that he had failed, but he still maintained his grace and did not want to lose impression points in front of Wang Qian. He smiled and said, “Okay, Professor, I think we will meet in China soon.”
Wang Qian said nothing more, just nodded to Reid and Aisha, then turned around and took Qin Xuerong and Qin Xuehong away.
Red and Aisha watched Wang Qian and others leave, and walked out of the backstage exit with Max and several people from the program team.
Aisha chuckled and said: “Uncle, this trick may not work on him.
Red nodded: “Yes, he doesn’t look like a young man at all. He is like an old wise man who has experienced some vicissitudes and has seen through the world. In his eyes, everything I did and said seemed to be ignored. See it all, there is no secret!”
Although Wang Qian saw through his purpose, Reid was not embarrassed at all. After working in this industry for decades, Reid had already abandoned his face to an unknown place.
As long as he can get what he wants, he is willing to kneel down to Wang Qian now.
Unfortunately, he knew that even if he knelt down to Wang Qian, he would not be able to get what he wanted.
Aisha shook her head: “This trick will not work on him. Only artists who have just become successful, or have high self-esteem and hope to be recognized will be fooled.”
The most common trick they use is to be the artist’s licking dog, giving them all kinds of flattery and praise to make them feel happy. Finally, they ask for a work, and there is a high probability that they will get it.
Such methods are not uncommon!
Young artists are basically always on target.
Because, when young people are most young and energetic, they are also most eager to get more recognition and like to listen to flattery
As long as you keep praising it, you can get the works created on the spot.
Obviously, Wang Qian was not fooled.
Although, among the top artists, Wang Qian is already terrifyingly young.
The youngest upper-class artists they had seen before were already around fifty years old.
Red sighed, turned towards the exit, and said to Aisha: “I will take you to meet the lucky man who owns the knight’s trade,
Aisha’s eyes lit up and she quickly followed.
Liu Shengnan and the others have indeed not left yet. They are sitting in the back row chatting and debating whether to go back to China directly or attend a party at the Juilliard School before leaving.
Red stepped forward, bent down and said politely: “Ms. Liu Shengnan, we meet again.”
Liu Shengnan and others stopped chatting and looked at Reid. They all still remembered who Reid was.
After all, after Reid graduated from Curtis College, he had contacted Liu Shengnan several times in private, but was rejected by Liu Shengnan.
Liu Shengnan nodded and said firmly to Reid: “Mr. Reid, if you still want to buy Wang Qian’s works, then there is no need to ask. I have said many times that no matter how much money I have, I will give it to you.” I won’t buy it, I will always keep it.’
Red nodded: “Of course, I know your determination to collect this work. Therefore, I am not here to buy Xia Ke Xing from you, I just want to be friends with you. Next time I go to China, I want to get up close I wonder if it would be okay to watch the real work of Professor Wang’s chivalry?’
“I like and admire Chinese culture very much, and naturally I like Professor Wang’s original calligraphy and poetry works very much. They are gorgeous chapters and beautiful fonts that even God cannot write. It’s a pity that I can’t own them. I just want to see them with my own eyes. Look…
“I don’t know, can Ms. Liu satisfy my little wish?”
Red looked at Liu Shengnan sincerely, his face full of regret and longing.
Elsa admired Reid’s acting skills very much. He was indeed a businessman who was involved in the art circle, and his acting skills were absolutely superb. She knew that Red had definitely not given up on acquiring Xia Ke Xing.
It’s just that this is the beginning of a long-term curve to save the country,
A common method used by art dealers to acquire top-notch valuable artworks is long-term investment.
Aisa remembers that when her father acquired a masterpiece by a famous historical painter, it took him ten years to collect it from the private collector. During this period, he had been working with the private collector. Maintaining a good relationship, I will send greetings and gifts every year and festival, and I will think of that person if I have good things
After ten years, her father and the private collector became really good friends. Finally, when the family encountered big changes and they were in urgent need of a lot of money, they took advantage of the situation and sold the painting to her father. , although the bid is also the market price, for art dealers like them, it is a profit.
This kind of representative work by a great artist is one of the few top collections. It is definitely the most valuable thing and has the most room for appreciation.
In fact, the painting that her father spent ten years acquiring has now appreciated in value by tens of millions of dollars, and its selling price is approaching fifty million dollars.
Life is unpredictable, who can guarantee what will happen in the future?
As long as they can maintain a good relationship and contact with Liu Shengnan, there will always be an opportunity to purchase the Knight’s Journey from him in the future! Aisha and Red both firmly believe in this.
Both of them have been in the art collection business for generations, and they are the most patient.
After all, art itself takes time to appreciate in value.
The most valuable collections of their two families were acquired by their grandfathers, or even their great-grandfathers, decades or hundreds of years ago…
Both Reid and Aisha have already made plans in their hearts to invest in Wang Qian’s art works for a long time in the future. Even if it takes ten years, decades, or even if they don’t succeed in their lifetime, the next generation will continue to work hard, and they will definitely Be successful.
After hearing Reid’s sincere words, Liu Shengnan hesitated for a moment, and then said: “Let’s talk about it after I return to China, if I have time. Mr. Reid can come and see then… But, I don’t want to hear it again If you say anything about acquisition, I won’t let you see it.
Red said with assurance: “Of course, I promise, I will never say anything to you about buying Xia Ke Xing again. You are a loyal fan of Professor Wang, you are also a musical genius, and you are the most qualified person to collect Professor Wang’s works. One whose work you deserve to be preserved forever.’
Liu Shengnan obviously liked hearing these words very much, and smiled and said: “Thank you, I think so too.”
Ruke, Chen Xiaowen, Yu Jingruo, Li Qingyao and Xiao Dongmei all around them smiled after hearing this, and at the same time they were slightly envious of Liu Shengnan for being able to collect Wang Qian’s Knight’s Journey
So far, it is Wang Qian’s most representative calligraphy work.
After Reid, Aisha and Liu Shengnan chatted for a few words, they said goodbye and left. During this period, they never mentioned any acquisitions. They only talked about Wang Qian’s other works. He knew that Liu Shengnan and others belonged to Wang Qian. Loyal supporters, it is absolutely right to talk about Wang Qian’s works in front of them.
After saying goodbye happily.
Red and Aisha hurriedly left the Juilliard School and came to a luxury apartment building in New York, where the Xie family lived in New York.
Red and Aisha were well prepared and paid a visit to Lao Xie and the others in advance.
Lao Xie was also happy at this time, admiring Wang Qian’s works in the apartment. When he heard that Red and Aisha, two art dealers, came to visit, he readily agreed.
The two came to Lao Xie’s study under the leadership of Xie Fanghua.
Lao Xie was still standing there, gently drinking tea, and carefully appreciating the poem “Wang Yue” written by Wang Qian, muttering the verses in a low voice. Every time he read it, he felt that his heart was filled with shock and yearning. , and then looking at the elegant and vigorous fonts, I am even more yearning for them.
Red and Elsa also came forward to enjoy it together.
Red lay down and looked closely at every word written by Wang Qian, and said with admiration: “This is the first time I have seen Professor Wang’s calligraphy works so close. It’s really more beautiful than the one in the video. Fascinating, this is a real work of art
Aisha also nodded: “Although I can’t understand it, it looks good when I look at it.’
Aisha is telling the truth. She does not know much about Chinese calligraphy, but she can truly and deeply understand the beauty and artistic conception of Wang Qian’s calligraphy.
Elsa clearly knows that artworks that can convey artistic beauty and artistic conception in this way are rare treasures in the world. Only a few representative works of top artists can reach this level.
Obviously, through this work, Aisha can confirm that Wang Qian has reached the level of the top artists in history in the field of calligraphy.
Lao Xie’s face was full of pride, and he laughed and said: “Hahaha, Professor Wang’s works are indeed worthy of your praise. Old man, I didn’t expect that I would actually get a painting of Wang when I went to ask for it shamelessly today. Professor’s work. What do you think this painting is worth now?’
Lao Xie knew that the two were from New York’s top collecting families and the world’s top art dealers, and the valuation given by them was the most authoritative. Of course, Lao Xie didn’t want to sell it, he just wanted to know roughly the current market price of the painting
Red said seriously: “Mr. Xie, want to sell? I can give you a price you are satisfied with.”
Lao Xie immediately shook his head: “I’m not selling, I’m just asking!”
Red nodded and said sincerely: “If you don’t understand, the maximum offer is one million US dollars!’
Lao Xie smiled.
Red continued: “If you are someone who understands, like me, I can offer you $10 million. If you really sell, the price can be negotiated appropriately.’
Lao Xie looked at Reid in surprise. He didn’t expect this man to be so willing to bid.
This is a work of art that was written just a few hours ago, and it can be sold for tens of millions of dollars?
In the art world, this is definitely a sky-high price.
Of all the top artists in the world, no one can do it
None of the top artists in history could achieve this when they were alive.
Lao Xie nodded with satisfaction: “Yes, in my opinion, this is a priceless treasure. Even if you give me 100 million US dollars, I will not sell it.
Red smiled and said: “Yes, this is a priceless treasure!”
This work was written by Wang Qian at the Juilliard School, the top music and art school in North America, where he officially started the journey of becoming a music giant. At the same time, he had just won the world championship and became a real person in the field of pop music. After the first person…
So, the significance of the time points before and after this work is absolutely extraordinary
And this is the essence of art.
So, both Reid and Aisha know that the work Lao Xie obtained will definitely become one of the most representative works of Wang Qian in his life
Its value is indeed difficult to estimate. The exact value depends on Wang Qian’s achievements and evaluation after his death a hundred years ago! However, the guaranteed value will not be lower than the existing top-level calligraphy and painting collections!
In the future, it will definitely be higher
Red and Lao Xie chatted for half an hour, mostly on topics related to Wang Qian’s calligraphy. Then they had a meal with Lao Xie before leaving with Aisha.
Step out of one of New York’s most expensive apartments.
Aisha said softly: “Uncle, do you want to devote yourself to Wang Qian’s works in this life?”
Aisha could tell that Reid was casting a wide net. He had established good relationships with Liu Shengnan and Lao Xie, and wanted to pursue a long-term plan, preparing to acquire Wang Qian’s works from them in the future.
Red nodded: “Yes, the works in their hands must appear in my family treasure house in the future. Even if I don’t succeed, I will let my son continue… Ge doesn’t believe they can Withstand temptation, their descendants can too
“Besides, if they encounter difficulties in the future and need money, they will definitely think of me…
After hearing this, Aisha began to think in her mind and decided to sign up for a Chinese class first!
She also wants to invest in Wang Qian’s works in the long term in the future, but she must first be able to communicate smoothly with Chinese people and have something to talk about with people like Lao Xie. These require her to spend a lot of time learning West China culture!
However, Aisha now has a yearning for Chinese culture. In order to better understand the artistic beauty of Wang Qian’s works, she can’t wait to learn Chinese culture.
Moreover, among all the artists in the world today, who else is worthy of their lifetime long-term investment? None!
Only Wang Qian!
The lecture is over.
Wang Qian declined the cocktail party invitation from Juilliard School and was about to take Qin Xuerong and others back to the hotel to rest for a while before leaving for the airport.
However, the TV station’s program director took Diana to find Wang Qian.
