This birthday party was generally quite harmonious.
It would be better if there was no one-hour live broadcast by Lin Wan.
The last part is for everyone to sing the birthday song together, Lin Wan, the birthday girl, makes a wish, blows out the birthday candles, and shares the cake.
Chen Feng bought this cake at a high price. The cream is very authentic and the taste is of course very good.
Although several women said they were afraid of getting fat, they still ate with smiles on their faces, especially the fat Li Li who ate three large pieces, just like Chen Feng.
Chen Feng now weighs over 170 pounds, but has never thought about losing weight.
If you already have a terminal illness, who would think about losing weight?
However, many people naturally lose weight after getting cancer, but Chen Feng has not experienced such changes, which is quite miraculous.
Therefore, Chen Feng often comforted himself by believing that miracles would happen.
After all, with his luck so bad now, there is no reason that he would die of illness in the end.
Chen Feng could only think so optimistically. Otherwise, he would really be unwilling to do so.
He was only thirty years old after the New Year, and he still had money. How could he be willing to die like this?
After the birthday party was over, Chen Feng went to settle the bill, and then everyone went back to their homes.
This time, Chen Feng still stayed at the East Lake Villa for the night.
Xiao Ya sent a WeChat message around nine o'clock to ask if he would go home tonight?
Chen Feng simply replied with two words, "No reply."
After that, Xiao Ya didn't send any more messages.
When he woke up the next morning, Chen Feng did not stay in bed. Instead, he immediately went to see the "Lanting Preface" painting. This time, he only entered meditation for ten minutes. This also indicated that the possible energy stored in this painting was
Was "absorbed" by Chen Feng.
Although he still had two paintings in his hand, Chen Feng felt that he still needed to prepare more.
Because this may cure his terminal illness and save his life. Even though it seems slim, it is currently the only hope for survival.
In other words, the last life-saving straw.
After all, he has been sentenced to death by real medicine and has only a few months to live at most.
But since his divorce, he has no symptoms of terminal illness. He used to have nausea and vomiting, but they disappeared later.
Recently, Chen Feng entered trance through several paintings and calligraphy, and perhaps after absorbing invisible energy, his body suddenly became stronger.
This was undoubtedly like a shot in the arm. It also undoubtedly gave him a glimmer of hope in his originally hopeless life.
Even though the expert doctor at the dog hospital sentenced him to death again, Chen Feng still did not give up completely.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a desperate struggle or it doesn’t matter if it’s self-deception or others.
Now his body has indeed become stronger and healthier because of the calligraphy and paintings he discovered. This is not only a personal intuitive feeling, but also scientifically based on the test report of the dog hospital.
So, even though the hope still seemed slim, he kept going.
In the next few days, Chen Feng went to visit several artists in Xiuzhou City. Unfortunately, nothing was gained.
As for the two paintings he bought from Xi Jun, after his daily absorption in the past few days, the energy contained in them has been sucked dry.
This made Chen Feng feel helpless and insecure.
And through the continuous "energy absorption" in the past few days, his body has indeed become stronger.
The most intuitive feeling is that when he played games with Xiao Ya several times, he persisted for longer and longer, which made her both happy and scared.
Fortunately, Chen Feng didn't go back to Hongshu Bay every night, otherwise Chen Feng would have suspected that she might end their employment relationship early.
Of course, the fact that she needs Chen Feng to invest money for her to open a milk tea shop is also a very important factor.
On this day, Chen Feng traveled a little further and went to a county below Xiuzhou City. He visited three artists in the county. One of them was an old calligrapher who was somewhat famous in the local area. Finally, his hard work paid off, and Chen Feng
I found a painting that resonated with me.
And the price is relatively cheap. Chen Feng only spent 300,000 yuan to buy it.
Chen Feng couldn't wait to watch in the car and fell into trance. When he woke up, he saw that the time was almost forty minutes. This was really an unexpected surprise.
According to Chen Feng's evaluation standards, this old calligrapher's calligraphy must be higher in artistic value than Song Yi and Xi Jun's.
For Chen Feng, this was like missing something.
But in reality, this old calligrapher is only relatively famous in his local county, and only slightly famous in Xiuzhou City. Not to mention the whole country, even in the province, he is not very famous.
fame.
This may be related to the fact that the old calligrapher doesn't care much about fame and fortune, and also because he doesn't understand hype and business operations. Of course, it can be seen that this old gentleman is relatively indifferent to fame and fortune in terms of his personality.
Therefore, the artistic value of a work of art does not necessarily depend on the artist's fame. Sometimes the works of unknown artists are no worse than those of famous ones, and may even be better.
This undoubtedly broadened Chen Feng's thinking.
He felt that he could cast a wide net, instead of visiting each door in person, but spread the news that he was buying art works at high prices, especially calligraphy and painting works, and wait for interested people to come to his door with works.
In this way, the efficiency will definitely be improved a lot, and you will not be so tired. At the same time, you can also find something to do for yourself.
Chen Feng did what he thought of. He immediately found a store near the East Lake Villa and bought it with full payment.
It happened to be the community where Wu Mengting and Lin Wan lived, a shop on the street.
It's Chen Feng's good luck. Normally, a store with a good location like this would not be resold. After all, everyone knows that store prices are stronger and more bullish than house prices.
Judging from the situation in the past ten years, housing prices may have declined slightly, but shop prices have basically been rising.
Unless absolutely necessary, no one with a store would be willing to resell it.
The original owner of this store encountered something as a last resort. Their only son got into trouble in Citigroup and was sued. They needed a large sum of money to hire a lawyer to fight the lawsuit. The family could only try to raise as much money as possible.
Lawyer fees at home and abroad are high, and Citigroup's lawyer fees are even more outrageous. Therefore, they had no choice but to sell this store as well.
And because he was in urgent need of money, the price was also very reasonable. Chen Feng did not deliberately lower the price.
In the end, the two parties only haggled a little, and with Chen Feng's one-time payment in full, he was very powerful and sincere, and the final transaction price was 5 million, which was a total sum.
The area of the store is 60 square meters, which works out to about 70,000 per square meter. It is not very cheap in this area, but it is not expensive either. The price is in the middle to lower range.
In fact, if you want to continue to lower the price, you can do it. After all, the other party requires a one-time payment for the full purchase, and they are anxious to raise money to send their son abroad to file a lawsuit. There is a high probability that they will agree in the end.
But Chen Feng was also in a hurry, and he really didn't need much money now. More importantly, he was a good person and not someone who took advantage of others, so he didn't engage in any of these tricks.
The store was originally rented out. It was a fishing gear store, but the business was not very good. There were advertisements for sublease at the door.
Therefore, as soon as Chen Feng's deal was concluded, the original landlord returned the remaining rent to the owner of the fishing gear shop as agreed, and Chen Feng also generously gave the other party five thousand yuan as transfer fee.
The decoration of this fishing gear shop is very simple, and it does not require much transfer fee. In addition, the rent for more than half a year was refunded, so the other party did not bother with it.
It only took one day to quickly pack up and move out.
However, Chen Feng did not renovate. The layout of the fishing gear store can be used to open an art store. He just customized a store plaque and billboard.
The plaque above the store reads: "Recycling calligraphy and painting artworks at high prices"
The billboard placed at the door reads: "Buy calligraphy and painting works at high prices, focusing on modern calligraphy and painting works. Once appraised, the price will be favorable."
The number of a new mobile phone card purchased by Chen Feng was left below both.
The fonts on plaques and advertisements are large and eye-catching.
In addition, of course Chen Feng also went to the relevant departments to go through the procedures. With the help of Qin Zhen, who happened to be in his jurisdiction, after saying hello, it was relatively convenient to go through the procedures as long as it was reasonable, legal and compliant.
.
When Chen Feng started business here, the procedures and business license were also completed.
On the opening day, Chen Feng didn't notify anyone, including Qin Zhen, and he didn't hold any opening ceremony, nor did he set off firecrackers or anything like that.
But when Qin Zhen found out, he put on his uniform and drove a police car to deliver a flower basket when he got off work. He stood at the door and chatted with him for more than ten minutes. Many people around him, including the owners of other stores, saw it.
In this regard, of course Chen Feng could only accept his kindness.
It’s just that on the first day Chen Feng’s store opened, not a single customer came to the door.
Although Chen Feng was mentally prepared for this, he was still a little disappointed.
However, he has already hired a group of trolls on the Internet to post posts in several local forums in Xiuzhou to help advertise. Chen Feng directly pays a monthly subscription, which is relatively cheap in terms of price.
In addition, Chen Feng also told Director Huang of the Provincial Art Museum about opening a store and asked him to help promote it. In addition, he also obtained the contact information of calligraphy associations and art associations in various counties and districts in the province.
Chen Feng sat in the store and sent emails and phone calls to these associations, telling them that he would purchase the works of their association members at high prices. As long as they passed the appraisal, the prices would be favorable.
In addition, he also promised that if the association recommended him, as long as the final deal was completed, Chen Feng would donate an additional 10,000 yuan to their association.
For every successful transaction, their association will receive a donation of 10,000 yuan.
This price is not low, not to mention that it is not too much trouble to just ask them to help notify the members of their association, and then ask those who are interested in selling works to report the name of their association.
One transaction is a reward of 10,000 yuan, which is not a low reward.
So, someone finally came over the next day, and he came all the way from hundreds of kilometers away. He was over sixty years old and was a member of a calligraphy association in a certain county.
It's a pity that Chen Feng didn't like the three works this man brought, but he was the first one to come to the door after all, and Chen Feng also wanted to spend thousands of gold to buy horse bones.
Therefore, Chen Feng finally spent 100,000 to buy this man's calligraphy work.
In addition, Chen Feng also immediately contacted the calligraphy association of the county and said that he would donate 10,000 yuan to their association and ask them to send someone to contact them.
After all, it’s 10,000 yuan, which is not a small amount of money for a county association, not to mention it’s free.
Soon, three people from the county's calligraphy association drove over, along with the person who sold a calligraphy painting to Chen Feng for 100,000 yuan.
Chen Feng simply called 10,000 yuan according to the bank account number they provided, and then took photos with them. After they received the 10,000 yuan donation, they were of course very happy and said they would vigorously promote Chen Feng.
This is the result Chen Feng wants.
This can be considered a good start.
Sure enough, in the next few days, more and more people came to the store with works. After the fifth day of opening, Chen Feng finally found the work he wanted. It was a picture of rich peonies that looked very ordinary.
traditional Chinese painting.
This painter is only in his thirties and has no academic background. He only paints as a hobby. During this period, he only studied with a local old Chinese painter for a few years. He joined their county association only a few years ago. Now,
He is not well-known locally, let alone elsewhere.
But the peony picture he painted contained invisible energy that attracted Chen Feng.
Moreover, Chen Feng only spent 50,000 yuan to buy it, which can be said to be extremely cheap.
As for the amateur painter, he was quite satisfied with the price and felt like he had won a prize.
After all, when he first started learning painting, painting was just a hobby. He had a legitimate job and never thought that the paintings he painted could be sold for money.
This time I came to Xiuzhou to sell paintings because of my work. I happened to hear from people in the association that someone in Xiuzhou was buying paintings and calligraphy at a high price. I brought two of my own works to try my luck, and one of them happened to be random.
It only sold for 50,000 yuan, which was really a big surprise for him.
After all, his job only costs a few thousand yuan per month.
For Chen Feng, this was even more of an unexpected surprise. He bought one at such a cheap price and delivered it to his door.
Therefore, Chen Feng said that he was also very interested in his other paintings. He could bring other works here for him to look at next time. As long as he liked the ones he liked, he would definitely continue to buy them.
The amateur painter immediately said that he would go home immediately and bring all his works from the past few years to Chen Feng to see.
This man did what he said, he didn't even care about his own job, and immediately took the high-speed train back home as fast as possible. Then he packed all the works at home and stuffed them into his Wuling Hongguang car, and drove more than 100 kilometers back to Chen Feng.
By this time, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. Chen Feng had already returned to Hongshu Bay.
But as soon as he heard that this man was coming with his work, of course Chen Feng rushed over immediately.
The other party brought quite a lot of works, more than a hundred of them, most of which were not framed yet.
But of course Chen Feng didn't mind this at all. He was still full of expectations for this man's work.
After carefully looking at each piece, Chen Feng discovered another one.
