"Meteor, what do you think we should do about this matter now?"
Liu Xing looked at Watanabe Ryusei and asked seriously: "I can be 100% sure that your father knows that you have joined the Wu family faction with the Yellow Cloth Sect, so he must have joined the Kamakura family to join the public faction intentionally.
For that reason...now I want to know your attitude towards this matter."
Watanabe Ryusei sighed, and then said: "Yes, my father must know that I have joined the Wu family faction, and judging from the current situation, he should have actively chosen to cooperate with the Kamakura family. At the same time, the Kamakura family
He must also know about my current relationship with your Zetian family... So my mind is very confused right now, and I don’t know how to understand this matter at the moment. Therefore, if possible, I want to wait until tomorrow morning to tell Liu
I wish you a satisfactory answer.”
Looking at Ryusei Watanabe who looked depressed and confused, Liu Xing could only nod in agreement with his idea. After all, Ryusei Watanabe was another character card of his, so Liu Xing believed that Ryusei Watanabe could not betray his group.
.
As a result, Liu Xing watched Watanabe Ryusei and Kokawa Koo leave first.
At this time, there was already a loud sound of gunfire in the training ground. The two sides were fighting at a distance of twenty or thirty meters. Naturally, there was no result after fighting for a long time, and the ground behind both sides had been painted with paintballs.
Colorful.
"There is a saying, if we directly print the colors on the ground on paper, and then find an abstract artist to put his name on it, these paintings can earn us millions." Liu Xingren looked at the screen.
Keep complaining.
"Indeed."
Alice drank water and said with a smile: "You should also have heard that the abstract painting school after the beginning of the Cold War was actually created by the United States because they needed to compete with Big Brother in art, or rather not lose.
So miserable."
Hearing Alice mention this topic, Liu Xing immediately became energetic, "I have actually heard of this, because there are an endless stream of artists in the Big Brother family, and their standards are also very high, so the United States, as the leader of Europe and the United States, wants to be a leader in the arts.
A collision with Big Brother would be like striking an egg against a stone. After all, art requires constant accumulation so that future generations can stand on the shoulders of giants and create better works of art. As a country with only a few hundred people, the United States
Although there have been some famous artists in the history of the nouveau riche, most of these artists were immigrants and did not study in the United States."
"So from the beginning, the United States knew that if it wanted to compete with Big Brother in terms of art, it would definitely lose its pants, and if it collected money from the continent of Europa like before,
If artists are used by themselves, they will be disadvantaged. Moreover, those artists who have become famous on the continent of Europe cannot easily leave their homeland. Therefore, there is no way to defeat Big Brother in an honest way, and the United States can only use some shady tricks.
Means, and these means in our modern times are just two words - hype."
"Artists are all ethical, but critics are not necessarily so. So the United States spent a lot of money to bribe some critics on the continent of Europe and asked them to highly affirm some abstract works. In short, they are going to die.
Damn, as for why America chooses abstract art? That's because abstract art has three prominent words - I can't understand it, because a black dot on a white paper can be considered an abstract art.
Using random dots of several colors together can be considered abstract, and of course turning the dots into lines is even more abstract.”
"If it is a realistic painting, ordinary people can tell whether the painting is good or bad, but if it is an abstract painting, then ordinary people can only have fun with it. At that time, the right to interpret the abstract painting lies with the author and
In the hands of critics, so under the nonsense of those paid critics, those abstract paintings were given various high-level interpretations, and then newspapers and television followed up.
Then, these masters of abstraction stood up."
"Of course, the most important thing about hype is to control reviews, so I heard that at the abstract art exhibition that year, the United States arranged a lot of trolls to act as passers-by to ensure that in front of each painting, if someone said they didn't like it,
Understand, or to criticize these paintings is similar to the footprints left by their dogs on the carpet after stepping in a mud puddle. Those passers-by and trolls will immediately join the battlefield, criticizing these real passers-by for not understanding art, and in order to make passers-by believe that they are
If you really don’t understand art, other passers-by will also enter the venue at the right time.”
"In this way, those abstract masters are like kings in new clothes. Although most people think that they are just scribbling, due to their great reputation, many critics praise their works as masterpieces and a large number of collectors
They also come forward to pay a lot of money for his works, and these people have to follow the crowd and think that his people and works are indeed good... Over time, even if a child stands up and points out that the king's new clothes are nothing, people around him will also think this.
Children are ignorant."
Looking at Liu Xing's talk, Juri Sonoda also smiled and said: "Yes, I once interviewed an abstract painter and asked him what he thought about his works, but he just lied to me.
One pass, and in the end, he emphasized that one of his works sold for a high price; so I also feel that many modern so-called abstract masters were probably made with money... To use an inappropriate analogy
, if a piece of ordinary paper can be sold for a sky-high price of 100 million, then most people will subconsciously think that this piece of paper is not simple, and at the same time subconsciously convince themselves that this piece of paper is indeed worth the price."
"Zhu Li is right. When my master was working at Miskatonic University, he had a very good relationship with several professors in the oil painting department, because he also liked to paint oil paintings when he had nothing to do. But one day my master heard that there was
A security guard suddenly turned into an abstract painter, and his paintings were immediately sold for tens of millions. He went to the professors in the oil painting department to ask about this matter, but the professors all scorned him."
Alice couldn't help but sigh: "This is like some young people nowadays. No matter what their level is, they first buy some press releases and social media to increase their praise, and then buy a few prizes to gild their body, and then...
You can slowly cut the leeks, but the abstract painting masters after the Cold War are not only used to gilt American art, but their more important role is actually to launder money, because art is priceless."
"Yes, it is difficult to determine the value of a work of art. Just like there will be a thousand Hamlets in front of a thousand readers, so a thousand bidders may give a thousand different opinions about the same work of art.
If the names of the works of abstract masters were hidden, 99.99% of people would say it is worthless, but there are also people who can directly raise its auction price to 100 million."
Liu Xing touched his chin and continued: "Auction can be said to be a very fast and efficient way of laundering money. After all, there is an old saying in China that a thousand pieces of gold cannot be bought. I am happy, so you give me a reserve price of one dollar at the auction.
It is not a problem to bid 100 million for an auction item, it is just easy to be suspected. Therefore, those abstract paintings with inflated prices are very suitable to bear the responsibility of equivalents, and as long as an abstract master is hyped, then he can have a steady stream of money.
Producing works to satisfy the needs of money laundering.”
"If I remember correctly, hundreds of billions of funds in the auction market will turn from black to white every year, and it is difficult for outsiders to grasp the handle, because as Liu Xing said - a thousand pieces of gold are worth a thousand dollars.
I’m happy to buy it.”
As soon as Alice finished speaking, Liu Xing saw Zhang Jingxu and Ding Kun on the screen being shot at the same time and were ruled out.
"To be honest, I think if we run out of money in the future, we can also enter the auction market and create a new school of painting - Monster School. The content of the paintings is ghouls, deep divers, etc., and we have to paint
It is so real that people will feel immersed in it after just one glance. In this way, our monster sect will soon become famous, and within a few years we will have several masters worth over 100 million yuan." Liu Xing stretched out his hand.
Lanyao said: "But then again, I heard that there seems to be a secret church that is engaged in auction activities, allowing some auction items mixed with private goods to flow into the market?"
After thinking about it for a moment, Alice nodded and said: "Liu Xing, are you talking about Luomu Auction House? There is indeed a secret church behind that auction company, and there are also rumors that they will sell some auction items, such as statues, bottles, etc."
Artworks such as bottles and jars contain some strange things, and these things often have a negative impact on the holders. Therefore, Luomu Auction House is called the cursed auction house in the eyes of ordinary people, claiming that it often undertakes
An auction of some cursed items.”
"As for the truth, that is that the secret church behind Luomu Auction House has placed a curse on the auction items, making the holders afraid of the curse, and then sells these cursed auction items back to Luomu Auction House at low prices.
In this way, Luomu Auction House can make a lot of money by entering and leaving, but this is a trick to deceive ordinary people, and it is difficult to reach the level of elegance, so many secret churches sneer at Luomu Auction House."
As soon as Alice finished speaking, Sonoda Zhuri continued: "Luomu Auction House? I remember that it also has a branch in the island country, and it is planning to hold an auction recently."
Hearing what Juri Sonoda said, Liu Xing subconsciously asked, "Isn't the island country branch of Luomu Auction House in Nagoya?"
"Well, it seems true."
Looking at the surprised Liu Xing, Juri Sonoda held up his mobile phone and said: "Because there are already many large auction houses in Tokyo and Osaka, Luomu Auction House has to choose to settle in Nagoya; huh? This auction will be
Tomorrow!"
Liu Xing quickly took Sonoda Zhuli's cell phone and saw a piece of news being displayed on the cell phone. The content of this news was very simple. That is, Luomu Auction House decided to hold an auction tomorrow, and a total of hundreds of auction items would be auctioned.
, and the types of these auction items cover calligraphy and paintings, gems and porcelain... as well as various legendary cursed items.
When Liu Xing saw the final catalog of auction items, he felt like he was reading a ghost story.
"What do you want to do?"
Alice frowned and said: "The secret church behind Luomu Auction House is from Italy. Logically speaking, they should not participate in the Gongwu War, so why did they choose to hold the auction at this time? They
What’s the purpose of doing this?”
At this moment, Zhang Jingxu and Ding Kun had arrived at the referee area.
After learning about Luomu Auction House, Zhang Jingxu wiped his face and said: "Luomu Auction House and the secret church behind it have always had a bad reputation, because everyone who knows their power feels that they are not doing their job properly and are trying to deceive.
The money was even used for curses, which was simply a disgrace to the Secret Church. Therefore, Luomu Auction House and the Secret Church behind him have always been lone wolves. They have not had any contact with other secret churches or big families, but the Huaxia Dao Sect
We once collected a piece of news that the secret church behind Luomu Auction House is very weak, and in fact only the leader can use the curse."
"Huh? In that case, the Luomu Auction House is a tool used by the leader to make money? That's why he doesn't care about the reputation at all, because as long as he can live a rich life, that's all." Liu Xing was still a little a little bit worried.
He said in confusion: "But the question comes back again, why does this guy want to come to Nagoya to wade into this muddy water? He should know that Nagoya is the place where the Gongwu Battle Technique is now, and he is not afraid that he will be misunderstood by a certain party at this time.
, and then your home will be demolished directly?”
Zhang Jingxu frowned and said: "Then I don't know what this guy is thinking. Maybe this auction has been decided a long time ago, so he doesn't want to break trust. After all, for auction houses, trust is their most important thing."
Important wealth, even if it is Luomu Auction House, which specializes in deceiving people."
As soon as Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, Ding Kun, who had already washed off the paint on his face, suddenly said: "Liu Xing, didn't you just say that? Although some so-called works of art are just a piece of waste paper in themselves, the things behind them are still very important.
It’s valuable, even though those things may be invisible to others.”
As soon as Ding Kun said this, a bright light flashed in Liu Xing's mind, "I understand! Many of the auction items of Luomu Auction House come from overseas, so Luomu Auction House can take this opportunity to bring some things to
Come to the island country, and then use the name of the auction to sell these things to the designated guests!"
"It seems we need to notify Shimazu Nakano of this matter."
