Sitting on a chair, flipping through a book, I would often watch my son, Xiao Fang, draw himself on the sketch paper, posing the plaster. After more than a year, Xiao Fang had already drawn something decent.
It seems that he really inherited some of Fang Yi's talents. Of course, it was the Fang Yi who had things in his head, not the Fang Yi before he fainted.
Little Fangruo has shown his talent in terms of body shape, composition, and the sense of space in the picture. The little man also seems to like the feeling of being in the studio with his father very much. Only at this time,
Little Fang Nu could sit quietly on the stool for more than half an hour.
Fang Ruo felt that he was almost done with his painting at this stage, so he put the brush in his hand on his small painting cabinet, then moved next to his father and pressed his entire body on his father's legs.
"Did you finish the painting?" Fang Yi watched his son hanging his body on his legs, his little feet bouncing in the air, and he reached out and touched his son's little head and asked with a cheerful tone.
Little Fang Nu nodded, not looking at his father but just playing by himself: "I'm a little tired, I'll play for a while first!".
"Go out and run with the dogs for a while!" Fang Yi suggested to his son: "By the way, observe the body structure of the puppies!" Fang Yi didn't mean to let his son draw them, but wanted him to do it.
Developing the habit of observation and sitting for some time can be considered as exercise for your child.
"Uncle Zou will be here in a moment! I want to collect the gifts before going to play!" Xiao Fangruo said to his father immediately.
Zou Heming does not have children himself, and he probably has never thought about having one. However, he likes Fang Rui and Xiao Mingyang very much, but he always brings gifts. Moreover, the gifts Zou Heming chooses are very suitable for the children, at least better than
People like Lu Qikun and Lu De are much better. The difference is that these two people don't have secretaries. Zou Heming leaves the gift selection to professionals, so the gift that comes out first will naturally win the hearts of the children.
If things go on like this, now, as soon as Fang Tu hears that Uncle Zou is coming, he will definitely accept the gifts before leaving.
"Uncle Zou will be downstairs first." Fang Yi looked at his son and smiled: "Why can't your little brain turn around? Just play at the door and don't run too far. You will see Uncle Zou when he comes! By the way.
"Exercise a little, otherwise you won't be very pretty if you don't grow into a fat boy." Fang Yi encouraged his son to go outside and move around for a while.
"Then I'll go!" After hearing his father's words, little Fang Nu immediately opened his legs and ran towards the door.
Fang Yi continued to look at the Yue Quan Zhuan in his hand! This time Zou Heming came to the door with a staff member from Sofubi. The staff from Sofubi did not come to chat with Fang Yi, but brought
I brought the nine works requested by Fang Yi for final appraisal.
Little Fang Yi ran out and came back twice in a row. Each time he asked his father one question, which was why Uncle Zou hadn't come yet. And Fang Yi had only one answer, just wait. The father and son had this question.
The questions and answers took an hour, and Zou Heming arrived late.
"Mr. Fang!" As soon as the door of Fang Yi's studio was pushed open, Softby's little boss responsible for Fang Yi greeted Fang Yi. Then he motioned to the two staff behind him to hold the paintings in their hands.
Placed on the usual large shelf.
There was nothing good to see. Fang Yi already knew which of the paintings were authentic and which were imitations. After waiting for several staff members to move away, he crossed his arms and pretended to reach out and clicked twice: "Take these three."
Send one piece of work to the exhibition hall, it will be on display for a week, and take away the rest!"
This is Fang Yi's appraisal process. If you take a look at the works put in the exhibition hall, they will be authentic. If there are any imitations, the staff will take them back directly. In other words, these people from Sofoby usually go to Fang Yi's home.
You can leave in half an hour. In other words, these people come here in the morning and can return to their homes in New York before nine o'clock in the evening.
Few people in the appraisal circle are skeptical about Fang Yi's current appraisal level. Now Fang Yi is the authority among the authorities on classical oil painting appraisals, and his conclusions are almost to the point where no one can doubt them.
, it’s not that others are too weak, it’s that Fang Yi’s reputation for never making mistakes is too scary.
The three works sent to the exhibition hall are a benefit to the painter village, allowing young artists to directly see the works of the previous masters. Fang Yi will also go to the exhibition hall in person and open a private room to look at the very good works for two or three days. No.
The reason for viewing at home is because if you want to keep the authentic works of these works at your home, the procedures cannot be completed in one or two days, and it is more convenient for institutions to do so.
Of course, the security system of the current October exhibition hall is also world-class. If Fang Yi had not wanted Softby to put the original painting in, let alone Softby and the person who sent the painting to the auction, Zou Heming and the insurance company would not have been willing.
Don't have the guts to accept it.
"Mr. Fang!" Kerry, the manager of Sofoby's team, saw that the person he brought had packed up the works he had brought and walked out the door, so he turned to Fang Yi and asked.
"What's the matter?" Fang Yi saw that he had something to say.
We have known each other for more than a year, and Kerry is also familiar with him. Although he is an employee of Sotheby's, this young man's main job is to arrange paintings and take photos, and then deliver the works that Fang Yi wants to see to Fang Yi.
He is specifically responsible for Fang Yi. Even he is an assistant who works exclusively for Fang Yi.
When Kerry heard Fang Yi's question, he showed a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, and then said hesitantly: "My friend has a work that I would like you to take a look at, but she is not very rich!"
.
Fang Yi listened and smiled and said: "What am I talking about? Just bring it over! Isn't this work very big?" When Kerry mentioned my friend, Fang Yi clearly saw this.
There was a hint of sweetness on the young man's face and his eyes seemed to have a little more sparkle. It was obvious that the relationship between this 'friend' and Kerry was extraordinary, or would be extraordinary!
"It's not very big!" Kerry gestured at the size, which was about fifty centimeters long and forty centimeters high: "It's just that big!".
"Well, just bring it over next time you come over!" Fang Yi said, "There's nothing else to do, right?"
"Thank you, sir! No more! I also brought the first step!" After hearing Fang Yi's agreement, Kerry took out a printed document from the bag in his hand and handed it to Fang Yi.
In his hand: "This is a painting I took. If you think you want me to bring it, I will bring it next time!".
I have been dealing with Fang Yi for a long time. Kerry thinks that Fang Yi really needs to go through these cutscenes for appraisal. In fact, these cutscenes were initially for Fang Yi’s convenience and to allow artists in the village to see these good works. Later, they gradually became more and more popular.
It has changed the flavor a bit, but more of it is an awesome logo promoted by Sofubi in order to highlight Fang Yi’s powerful aura as an appraiser!
Invisibly, a very beautiful thing is turned into a commercial packaging behavior!
Fang Yi smiled after hearing this and was not interested in wasting any words to explain. He directly unfolded the photo in his hand, but after looking at it, Fang Yi was attracted by this work. It was not by a well-known master.
, but the skill is indeed very exquisite! It even exceeds that of ordinary famous masters, and this person does not exist in the database of Fang Yi's mind. Even now, Fang Yi holds a scan of this work in his hand. In his mind
No response at all!
Looking at the signature on the painting: Steven Ken Pylock, Fang Yi couldn't help but fell into deep thought, wondering what kind of situation this was.
"It doesn't look like a work by a known famous artist!" Fang Yi thought for a while and said to Kerry with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Well, I know this too!" Kerry said. There is a name on the painting and Kerry is in this circle. Of course, he knows that this person is not very famous, but because of 'some reason' Kerry needs to let Fang go.
Take a look!
Kerry said to Fang Yi: "My friend just wants to know how much this painting can be sold for. She also has some other hopes!" After saying this, Kerry felt a little embarrassed again.
Fang Yi smiled and shook his head after hearing this: "Bring this work over if you have time. Right now I see that the painting technique is pretty good! But I can't judge these things until I see the work!".
"Then I'll have her brought here soon?" Kerry said very excitedly when he heard that Fang Yi said that he would bring her here when he had time instead of next time.
Seeing him like this, Fang Yi couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't let her have too high hopes. If the work is from an unknown person, it can't be sold at a high price."
"I know!" Kerry nodded to Fang Yi and walked out of Fang Yi's studio quickly.
Zou Heming watched the whole process in his eyes. As soon as Kerry walked out of the studio, he asked Fang Yi: "Is there something wrong with this work?".
Now when Fang Yi is interested in something, Zou Heming's subconscious reaction is that this thing is very valuable. Not only Zou Heming, but also almost all the friends around Fang Yi are like this!
"It's not that the work is valuable. I think the signature on the painting is real. I'm just interested in the author!" Fang Yi glanced at Zou Heming and said.
Upon hearing what Fang Yi said, Zou Heming's interest immediately dropped: "Okay, let's talk about business." After saying that, he pulled Fang Yi to sit on the chair, and then said to Fang Yi happily: "I
Here is a contract for you to read!".
Fang Yi took the contract from Zou Heming, sat down on the chair and read the first page carefully, then quickly turned over the remaining pages. After flipping through, he said: "This contract hasn't expired yet, why?"
Sofoby wants to renew the contract again?".
This thing is nothing else, it is a sample of the new contract that Sofoby prepared for himself, and this time it is signed not for one year but for three years!
"Ward is now afraid that others will pry you away!" Zou Heming said, reaching out and tapping the phone in his hand: "Now, both Christen and Phipps are extremely interested in you! ...
…”.
Fang Yi saw that Zou Heming was going to talk a lot again, so he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to interrupt and said: "Okay! I know your operating skills are incredible, let's get to the point! I'm not used to signing for three years at once. How do I feel about it?
How can it be like the previous contract of sale, it’s better to sign it once a year!”.
"The three-year contract is much more generous than the one-year contract, and the income has increased by 10%!" Zou Heming looked at Fang Yi and said immediately.
"Money is more money than money is, it's just a sum! I think it's good to cooperate with Sofoby now," Fang Yi said directly.
From the bottom of my heart, Fang Yi is very satisfied with the current cooperation with Softby. No matter how Softby feels, Fang Yi feels very happy. But now that Softby wants to renew his contract for three years, so Softby
I also think this cooperation is quite good.
For Fang Yi, cooperation is a pleasure. When he meets some famous works that are sent for auction, Fang Yi can also play with and appreciate them face to face. In Fang Yi's opinion, this is much more satisfying than just paying a few dollars, and the Softball is better than
The name of the world's number one auction house is not given for nothing, and the quality of the works it receives is also top-notch. From this point of view, Fang Yi has no interest in changing to another company!
"That's it, I'll go talk to them, the conditions remain unchanged!" Zou Heming said immediately, helping his clients strive for the greatest benefits, Zou Heming will not be lenient!
After finishing speaking, Zou Heming glanced at Fang Yi, then thought for a moment as if he was organizing his words. After more than ten seconds, he said to Fang Yi: "I took the picture of your teacher's work!".
Fang Yi couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "My teacher has many works. I don't know which one you are talking about?".
"The record price is 58 million yuan, which one do you think it can be?" Zou Heming looked at Fang Yi with a playful smile on his face and asked. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature for better and more updated novels.
