Here the French were studying the original paintings of Pissarro painted by Fang Yi, but Fang Yi himself went to Los Angeles to deal with a series of orders and start adding staff to his big house from scratch.
The first one on the list is a lawyer. After living in France for several years, and occasionally visiting the United States, Fang Yi knows that a good lawyer is essential to live in a capitalist country. Lawyers are very important to wealthy people.
To put it bluntly, it’s like a necessity in life. To put it more graphically, lawyers are like the bullies in TV dramas we used to watch.
The young master's thugs specialize in snatching women from the masses for bullies, or beating up poor people for fun. Of course, American lawyers do not snatch women from the masses for their clients, nor do they beat up the poor, but in terms of how to solve problems, lawyers and thugs are two different things.
There are really not many bad professions. They all explain things that are unpleasant or troublesome to you.
Everyone knows how powerful American lawyers are by watching American TV series or reading newspapers. In a certain sense, these people only care about the interests of their clients. As for justice, it has little to do with them. When you read in the newspapers, what happened in the United States after killing people?
What got away with the case was the handiwork of these people. Even dead things can be made alive by them.
Sitting next to Fang Yi is his lawyer, a thirty-four-year-old Hispanic named Eposito! He is a lawyer at a famous law firm in Los Angeles. This Eposito is not only a lawyer himself, but also his father.
He is also a barrister, and so is his wife. In short, he comes from a family of lawyers. Moreover, his father is the boss of this law firm, and he is considered a rich second generation.
The fact that Fang Yi fell in love with this lawyer does not mean that he fell in love with a rich second generation, but that this Eposito really has two brushes in his hands. He is very attentive to his work. When hiring a lawyer, these things
Of course, Yi needs to have a thorough understanding of it.
"None of these people satisfy me very much!" Fang Yi looked at the information in his hand, threw it on the five or six information at hand and sighed.
These information are sent by intermediary companies. It is the kind of domestic employment agency. According to your requirements, what kind of people do you want to hire? These people will send the information to you for your reference. Fang Yi thought
The housekeepers you hire are not provided by small agencies. Their companies are called headhunters.
Because Fang Yi has high requirements for housekeepers, and Anders also gave a suggestion to his friend when he came here, that is, let Fang Yi hire a good housekeeper, so that he can completely leave the whole house to the housekeeper.
Not only taking care of the house, but also hiring people
Hiring or firing other employees at home, arranging parties at home and other messy things. In short, with such a housekeeper, most things in life can be let go, so that Fang Yi can be like Anders now.
, focus on enjoying life.
"There's someone here that I think is good." Zou Heming handed the information in his hand to Fang Yi.
Fang Yi reached out and took it, turned it over and saw that it was a white man in his thirties. He looked tall and a little fat. There was also a detailed introduction written on it, as well as the guests he had served. It was slightly
After flipping through it, Fang Yi put the information aside and shook his head.
"Isn't this appropriate?" Zou Heming asked.
"He changed a little too many customers. What if he comes to my house and wants to change after a few days? Do I want to do it again?" After speaking, Fang Yi pointed to the information on the table.
Zou Heming sighed: "Keep watching!".
Fang Yi flipped through other information, and Zou Heming's phone rang. He went to pick it up and then returned to the sofa: "The Frenchman confirmed that it is an authentic work. Now I want to talk about the price. Yours
Do you mean to sell it or keep it for a few months? I think you are not short of money. Just leave it with the French for a few months and get it back!"
"What place doesn't need money now?" Fang Yi reached out and flicked the album of information in his hand: "The housekeeper's annual income is over two hundred thousand dollars. Tell them to sell it if the price is right. If it's several hundred thousand dollars,
Then keep it if it’s 10,000 euros. If it’s more than 10 million euros, I’ll take it.”
Fang Yi has offered a reserve price. As for whether the sale will be completed at the reserve price, Fang Yi is not worried at all. The two Americans are the agents, and it has been written in the signed contract. If the sale is based on
What percentage does it take to get paid, and the more you sell it?
The higher the two will get, the more they will get. From the contract, we can see how shrewd these two are. It is written down how much service fees they will have to pay to bring Fang Yi back, and how much the sales price reaches, and the two of them can get commissions. It is all written down
It is clear that Fang Yi is not afraid that these two people will not pay attention to the price negotiation.
"This amount of money is enough for your annual income." Zou Heming wanted to persuade Fang Yi to sell Pissarro's original work if he had nothing else to do: "Even if you want to sell it, you should sell the Menzel."
In Zou Heming's view, even if the Menzel in Fang Yi's hands could be sold for the price of this Pissarro on the market, is it obvious that one is a representative work, while the other is not a masterpiece?
It can be said that it is pretty good among Menzel's works. Although it is good, there is still a lot of resistance when it comes to ten million euros. Unlike Pissarro's, there is no problem at all when it is over ten million euros. It just looks good.
Can it reach 20 million? If you are lucky, it may not be 30 million.
After hearing this, Fang Yi waved his hand: "Let's sell it." Zou Heming didn't know. Of course Fang Yi himself knew the difference between the two paintings. One was real and the other was fake! You can't pretend that you know it's a fake.
Keep the paintings and sell the genuine ones. Isn’t this a mental illness?
Fang Yi here said it was sold. Just one day later, he received a call from Nick. The old man directly said to Fang Yi on the phone that he was sorry: "Fang, you really shouldn't go at this time.
In the United States, I saw a representative work of Pissarro in the past two days. There are some minor problems with its preservation, but it does not affect its value too much! You can see it if you are in France."
After hearing what Nick said, Fang Yi knew that his fake Pissarro had been completely recognized by these people as an authentic painting, so he asked: "Is the museum still planning to collect it?".
"Of course! The museum is currently raising some funds to include this work in the register! Not only our museum, but many museums have this intention. I heard that the person is already preparing to sell it," Nick said to Fang Yi.
Asked: "How much do you think the approximate price of Pissarro's works can be?".
Fang Yi thought for a moment and said, "About 13 million euros, if it's good!".
Nick shook his head and said: "More than that, our museum's goal is to raise about 1,500, and there are only four or five museums that are interested this time, including the Louvre."
"Then you need to find more money!" Fang Yi laughed after hearing this. When he mentioned that the Louvre was added to the list, Fang Yi couldn't help but feel happy. This guy is the most wealthy and very arrogant.
.The Versailles Museum is nothing in front of it.
That's it. The work is not being auctioned now, but is being traded in major museums in advance. Of course, if Fang Yi thinks the price is not suitable, he can also send it to a French auction house for bidding. But he has to wait first.
Let these museums talk to some institutions.
"When will you come back? Maybe we can see you again within a week?" Nick asked.
Fang Yi smiled bitterly: "I'm still busy with things here. It doesn't look like anything, but as soon as I get here, I find things happening one after another!". Let's look at the Pissarro he drew again?
Not to mention that Fang Yi is busy now. Even if he is not busy, he is not interested in going to see it. He can just wait and collect the money!
After chatting with Nick for a while, Fang Yi put down the phone and continued to look at the information with Zou Heming, which was what the two of them were doing these days anyway.
After picking and choosing, Fang Yi asked the headhunting company to send information once more, and then he picked out one of the people who was quite satisfied: "Let's take this one first!".
"Look at this, isn't it great! What's wrong with her?" Zou Heming flipped through the information that Fang Yi had abandoned again, took out a piece of clothing from it, looked at it for a while and asked Fang Yi.
Fang Yi stretched his head and took a look at the information: "I feel a bit young, only thirty-three or four years old! And now that I am single, it will be a bit troublesome!".
Fang Yi also read this information carefully. This lady gave Fang Yi a good feeling, and judging from her appearance, she also met his "strict" requirements. So far, this woman has only worked for one family, or because
She left the family when there were financial problems. The information also includes letters of recommendation written by members of the family for her.
But Fang Yi wanted to find an older housekeeper like the Anders family. After all, age can make people look more calm. To manage such a big house, a man in his early thirties
The woman Fang Yi was a little worried. What should she do if something went wrong?
"You are just looking for trouble when you say this!" Zou Heming looked at Fang Yi and said with a smile: "If you say one less sexist thing, it will be slapped on your head." After finishing speaking, he clicked on the information and said: "Her talents are really good.
, and it’s rare for an employer to write such a long recommendation letter in such a eloquent handwriting! You should give others a chance, which can also be regarded as giving yourself one more choice!”
"Okay! Let's take these two," Fang Yi said as he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the headhunting company, reported their profile numbers, and asked the headhunting company to arrange an interview.
After arranging these, Fang Yi took out the list he thought of from his pocket. The first two lawyers, accountants and so on were all crossed out, which meant that they had found the person. The ones that were not crossed out were
To be done.
There was a question mark after the housekeeper, and Fang Yi continued to look down.
"What are you listing?" Zou Heming came to Fang Yi's side. After watching for a while, he looked at Fang Yi curiously: "What are you listing? Why are there more than 20 cows and more than ten cows?"
How many sheep and horses?”.
"The place is too big. Let's make something lively!" Fang Yi said. Now this land is at least more than a thousand acres in China. It can't be just grass and houses, and then there are no other trees. With these things,
It can add a bit of vitality.
"Why buy a horse?"
"I will learn to ride horses in the future! Why would I build a stable if I didn't?".
Zou Heming looked at Fang Yi and said, "You really have a lot on your mind!"
