The routines of charity galas are similar. Guests attending the gala will bring an item and put it up for auction at the charity banquet. Generally, all the money raised will be donated to the charity fund.
Charity galas are usually the best way for the rich to establish themselves or show off their wealth.
Zhou Yan had no love for such a party, but Qin Ruoshu was very concerned about her "Sister Wen" invitation. The day before the party, she began to toss Zhou Yan, dragging foreign girls to give him sexy looks and choose clothes.
After working hard for a long time, Miss Qin finally remembered that she needed to bring auction items to the party.
"Brother, what do you think we should bring?"
"Didn't I just fish out a batch of porcelain from the sea last summer vacation? Let me make a set!"
"Oh," Qin Ruoshu nodded with satisfaction, but soon became confused again, "But Sister Wen gave me two invitations..."
"Then I'll prepare another one..."
In the afternoon of the next day, the two of them had dinner early, and after some preparation, they drove the Spyker sports car that had been gathering dust for a long time and rushed to the Miracle Hotel in Dongcheng.
Wen Ning had been waiting at the door of the hotel for a long time. When he saw Zhou Yan's car, he smiled and waved.
After stabilizing the car, Zhou Yan discovered that Wen Ning's son, the "well-known rich second generation" Lin Shengfei, was also there.
"Sister Wen!"
"Is Zhou Yan here?" Wen Ning smiled and pointed to Zhou Yan, "Xiao Fei, haven't you always been talking about the producer Ji Shi? This is him!"
"Brother Yan, I'm your big fan..." Lin Shengfei didn't give in at all and snatched Zhou Yan away from Qin Ruoshu with a smile.
"Xiao Fei, please entertain Zhou Yan and your sister Qin first!"
"Okay!"
The venue for the charity banquet was in the banquet hall of the hotel. It was not yet time, and many people were already waiting there early. However, except for a few rich people, most of them were just watching the fun.
Before entering the banquet hall, Zhou Yan encountered a "stumbling block" - a group of appraisal experts.
Zhou Yan handed over the tea set in his hand.
The tea set prepared by Zhou Yan is a high-quality product from Yue kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty. Although it looks very rough, as soon as Zhou Yan opened the box, the eyes of a group of experts opposite began to shine.
"Young man, do you know the origin of this tea set?"
"It was fished out of the sea last year. The porcelain expert who traveled with Xiamen University said that this thing is from the Yue kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty."
Seeing Zhou Yan on the other side, Zhou Yan was very accurate and nodded with a smile: "Since you know that this thing is from Yue kiln, you should know the price. Although it is fished from the sea, it is in good condition..."
There are hundreds of similar sets in good condition in my warehouse at home. I want to dispose of them, but there is no way.
Of course, Zhou Yan didn't take these old antiques seriously.
Although the senior management team of Xinghan Group all likes to drink tea with porcelain from famous kilns, the most popular one at the moment is the Yiaobian Tianmu Zhan, which has been "conquered" by Zhou Yan, which is good-looking and classy.
As for the "genuine Song porcelain" Northern Song Dynasty Yue kiln, which sells poorly, it is not very popular...
"Young man, if you really plan to donate, go and register over there..."
"There's one more thing..." Zhou Yan took a scroll from Qin Ruoshu's hand and placed it in front of the little old man opposite who was responsible for the appraisal.
"This is……"
The little old man opened the scroll hesitantly.
"Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains?"
The other three old men in charge of the appraisal heard the exclamation and leaned their heads over.
However, the four people unfolded the painting and looked at it for a long time, but they couldn't tell what it was.
Zhou Yan's traditional Chinese painting skills were learned from Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi. His starting point was already high, and coupled with regular exercise in his spare time, his level was naturally extraordinary.
Although the painting "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" in front of me was copied from a digital work, its brushstrokes are similar to those of Zhang Daqian, and the seal of Shen Zhou of the Ming Dynasty on the painting comes from the all-around master Qi Baishi.
Lin Shengfei, who was following Xinyan, saw that a group of old men on the opposite side were not sure what they were eating. He was curious and gently pushed Zhou Yan: "Brother Yan, what's going on?"
"The brushwork and seal cutting of the Republic of China, the paper after the founding of the People's Republic of China..."
After hearing Zhou Yan's comments, the old men across from him broke into cold sweat on their foreheads...
Almost fell into a pit!
When the four old men saw the complete version of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", they were so excited that they even forgot to judge the paper used for the calligraphy and painting.
"Flaws cannot hide the faults. Even though the painting is a copy after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it cannot hide its artistic value!"
Qin Ruoshu, who was holding Zhou Yan's arm, raised the corner of his mouth when he heard the evaluation of the expert opposite: It was obviously a fake that Zhou Yan had painted for a week, so how could it become an imitation with artistic value?
The painting was painted to decorate a new house, but Qin Ruoshu thought the painting was too narrow, so he replaced it with something else, and this "Spring Residence in Fushan" could only stay in the basement and collect dust.
If it weren't for such a charity party where he needed to bring a collection, Zhou Yan wouldn't have been able to remember that there was such a work...
Lin Shengfei, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, saw that there seemed to be something hidden in the expressions of Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu, and was too embarrassed to ask on the spot. After entering the banquet hall, he quietly approached Zhou Yan.
"Brother Yan, what's going on with that "Spring Residence in Rich Mountains" picture just now?"
Before Zhou Yan could speak, Qin Ruoshu on the side responded with a smile: "It can be regarded as a work by a famous artist, but if you want to buy it and get promoted, you have to wait seventy or eighty years..."
Lin Shengfei had a very flexible mind, so he didn't know that the painting was done by Zhou Yan himself.
"Um, Brother Yan..." Xiao Lin rolled his eyes, "Whenever you are free, can you draw me a picture?"
"no problem……"
Xiao Lin had just "returned from studying abroad" and was not familiar with many people in the banquet hall, so he could only follow Zhou Yan in a low-key manner...
Of course, although Xiao Lin is not familiar with many people, he knows more people than Zhou Yan.
"The young master opposite, Qiao Jiangnan, known as the fourth young master in the capital, is a coward at the moment..."
"Four young masters from the capital?" Qin Ruoshu and Zhou Yan looked at each other and smiled at each other.
"Actually, except for Wang Lin, who has retired from the world, all his tricks are just fake..." After saying that, Xiao Lin raised his head and looked at Zhou Yan with a smile, "Brother Yan, on the other hand, you are no longer as rich as our old Lin.
It’s too low, why didn’t they give you a title?”
"Forget it," Zhou Yan smiled, "I still want to live a pure life for a few days!"
"Yes..." Xiao Lin nodded and thought for a while, "Brother Yan, I just returned to China and want to start my own business. Do you have any good directions there?"
"What do you want to do about it?"
Xiao Lin was stunned by the question, struggled for a while, and then said with some uncertainty: "I usually prefer reading comics..."
"Do you know anything about anime models?"
Xiao Lin's eyes suddenly lit up: "The market potential of animation models is relatively large, but I'm not very familiar with this..."
"When making a model, the most important thing is of course the mold," Zhou Yan chuckled, "Once the mold is ready, injection molding and spraying won't have any technical content..."
"Brother Yan, how about we form a partnership?"
"Okay!" Zhou Yan nodded, "I'll make a list for you later on what kind of equipment you need. As for operations and technical talents, we'll talk about it later..."
"Thanks then..."
Xiao Lin nodded happily and continued to take stock of the other rich people in the banquet hall...
