Zou Heming couldn't help but be stunned. He saw the check shaking in front of his eyes before he realized it. He took the check and looked at it. It clearly said 3.7 million U.S. dollars, one penny less.
"Thank you, Mr. Lauder! This work belongs to you now." Zou Heming pointed to the huge work on the wall towards the wealthy man.
The tycoon nodded happily and took out a card from his hand: "Send this work to my private museum, this is my address!".
"I'm very happy to help!" Zou Heming said happily.
After Lauter also gave Zou Heming his address, he stretched out his hand to shake Zou Heming's hand, then turned and left the gallery.
Zou Heming walked happily to his office with the check in his hand. The gallery owner was naturally very happy that he sold this work without spending any money. He even danced a little. When he got to the office, he asked his secretary to hand over the check. Then
I just want to call Fang Yi directly and tell my cash cow that the painting has been sold and the rest is not our concern.
After picking up the phone, Zou He remembered that the time difference was wrong and Fang Yi was still sleeping.
Leaning his body back on the chair, Zou Heming laughed twice and said proudly: "This thing went so smoothly!". For a month and a half, he has been thinking about how to deal with this work. Now,
He felt relaxed all of a sudden, and the gallery also gained more than one million US dollars in income. Could Zou Heming be unhappy?
Finally, we waited until dawn in France at the normal time. By this time, Fang Yi had already gotten up. He immediately dialed Fang Yi's phone number and told Fang Yi the news that he had taken action.
"So fast?" Fang Yi also felt a little incredible that this work was sold so quickly. The outside world didn't even hear the news, and the things he completed were sold for 3.7 million? It's simply
It's like a fantasy.
"I'm not lying to you. Just a few hours ago, the collector Mr. Lauter purchased this work. Your share of the income will be credited to your account in three days." Zou Heming happily raised his clothes on the table.
, said to Fang Yi while rocking his big back chair, while shaking his cigar in one hand.
Fang Yi had a few more words with Zou Heming. Naturally, he was talking about the current creative progress of his works. Zou Heming just asked casually and then hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone in his hand, Fang Yi still felt that this was a bit incredible.
Belloniguang walked out of the room at this time and saw Fang Yi standing in the living room in a daze, holding a mobile phone in his hand and wearing the outfit he wore for a morning jog. He couldn't help but opened his mouth and said: "My dear, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
.
"My work was sold," Fang Yi turned to look at Beronica and said.
While putting on clothes, Beronica said: "What's so strange about your works being sold? That's not quite normal." I was in a daze so early in the morning. What did I think? Your works are still there.
Do you have any left? Beronica thought while getting dressed.
"I mean I have collected all Rembrandt's works," Fang Yi repeated.
"So fast?" Beronica was stunned when she heard it was this work. The hand holding the pullover stopped directly on the waist of the body, and a large piece of belly was exposed: "Who bought it?"
.
Fang Yi replied: "An American collector."
"He is so rich." Beronica turned around, put down her clothes, walked to Fang Yi's side and said with a smile.
"It's a good thing if it's sold." Fang Yi had no choice but to shake his head. As the two of them said this, they went out to start a morning run.
Zou Heming waited for the check to be delivered, and then sent someone to deliver the work to the tycoon. He originally thought it was just a personal hobby of Rembrandt, and he planned to buy a high-quality imitation of the work to appreciate for himself. Who knew that within a few days, it would be published in the newspaper?
It appeared that Lauder had collected this Rembrandt work that Fang Yi had completed. Not only was there news, but there were also photos of this masterpiece. It immediately became lively.
The imitation painting costs RMB 3.7 million, and it is also a complete work by Rembrandt. Laud's private museum suddenly became crowded with people. Not only ordinary people who wanted to see this imitation painting costing RMB 3.7 million.
.There are also a large number of critics and artists.
Next, the art media became lively again. The sale of a forgery for 3.7 million yuan was enough to shock most people. This is 3.7 million yuan, not 370 yuan. As for the price,
No one cares how similar the techniques of Yi Hua are. Many media outlets started to sneer at the American collector with loud voices.
After seeing this news in a magazine, Fang Yi and his friends were stunned again, wondering why the tycoon had done this in such a high-profile manner.
Although some critics affirmed Fang Yi's technique and considered it to be the most outstanding imitation Rembrandt work they have seen so far, the little voice was immediately drowned out by the laughter that filled the sky.
Zou Heming's expectation of diverting firepower has been completely realized. Currently, no one is interested in spraying this completed work, but instead points the finger at Lauder, the collector.
This is the biggest loss Mr. Lauder has ever suffered since he started collecting art. When I first saw the news, I almost thought it was an April Fool's Day joke. I even rubbed my eyes. A forgery
It actually sold for a sky-high price of 3.7 million US dollars, which makes me speechless. What can I say? Either I am crazy or Mr. Lauder is crazy. 3.7 million US dollars, my God, this is too much
Crazy - American "Art Collector"
Even in terms of technique, what Yi Fang copied is very similar, and can even be said to be very outstanding. The canvas fully displays Rembrandt's techniques at his peak, but it must be an imitation. Now its
The price reached US$3.7 million, which makes me feel a little incredible. For now, Yifang's reputation is not enough to support a replica at this price. I can't understand it, and I can't comment - France
"Art of the Times"
This is a ridiculous hype. The Lawrence Gallery did an outstanding business and sold a replica for such a high price to a fool named Ronald Lauder.
That’s it!——British “Critic”
We had seen this work very early. Of course, we were only interested in one piece of it. As for the other parts, we thought they had no value at all. The bid at that time was only one-fifteenth of the tycoon's price. We couldn't.
The transaction was completed because Yifang was unwilling to sell separately. Yes, we have no regrets. As for the current price, I can only say that Mr. Yifang’s gallery is very profitable and they made a good deal. Is it reasonable? Then
Only God knows - said a staff member of a museum in the Netherlands who did not want to be named.
Fang Yi naturally sneered at all the above statements. Fang Yi believed that his work should be worth at least three million! I give you the opportunity to see 78% of Rembrandt's works.
Are you bastards still not satisfied with the original appearance of Ten? Those who comment now are just a bunch of idiots with no artistic accomplishments at all.
Fang Yi doesn't care here, but the tycoon over there doesn't seem to mind the cynicism of these media. The pieced together masterpiece is still displayed openly in his private museum.
Such discussions spread from the art media to the mass media. The only thing that is beneficial to the tycoon is that more and more people are visiting his private museum. Some people are curious, while others are curious.
I want to see why this work is worth more than three million US dollars. Of course, there are also some people who come to watch the fool. It's like a movie. Everyone says it's bad, but some people still buy tickets to watch it.
Just to see how bad it is.
It has been in the media for almost more than a month, which means that the tycoon Lauder has been ridiculed by the media from various countries for a whole month. This kind of all kinds of ridicule can no longer attract the public. Now a bunch of art critics
We are going to target Fang Yi. Now that everyone doesn’t like this thing, let’s talk about Fang Yi or Lawrence Gallery, who is second!
Here Fang Yi and Lawrence Gallery were put on the desk by some people. When the first media made a sound, some media outside the country also decided to follow up. Seeing that Fang Yi and Lawrence Gallery were about to be on the cusp of the storm, but
It was still a bit underwhelming. Within a few days after two or three media outlets raised doubts about Fang Yi, the names Fang Yi and Lawrence Gallery were rolled out of the front of the magazine in disgrace, with a line written on the cover.
status is gone.
The headlines were snatched away by the tycoon Lauder again. Fortunately, Fang Yi didn't think about making such headlines. If he had thought about it, I'm afraid Fang Yi's current mood would be a bit like that of singers and female celebrities in a few years.
When it comes to relationships, every time I try to grab headlines by trying to stir up some troubles, I am immediately robbed of the limelight by another celebrity.
Because next to the complete works collected by Fang Yi in Lauder's private museum, another piece of about 1.5 meters by 3 meters was hung up, and some authoritative art appraisal experts personally wrote down their inferences that this piece was
A fragment may be a small piece of Rembrandt's cut work.
After this news came out, all media suddenly forgot about Fang Yi and Lawrence Gallery, and everyone became excited. Critics and semi-connoisseurs from all walks of life once again poured into Lauder's Fifth Avenue in New York.
I came to the private museum on the avenue to admire this fragmented work, hoping that this thing could provide me with new firepower. When things have developed to this stage, not only art media, but also some ordinary big media started to make noises.
Zou Heming and Keshima all expressed their congratulations to Fang Yi. With the intensity of the current hype, Fang Yi's reputation will no longer be what it is now. Everyone feels that this matter has taken a turn for the worse. (To be continued...
