But before Son Yejin could speak, Liu Dong had already replied: "Hello, what can I do?"
"It's like this. I personally like Chinese calligraphy and painting very much, and I also admire your superb calligraphy and painting skills. I hope you can sell this painting to me. As for the price, it's easy to negotiate!"
Liu Dong has no reason to be unhappy when someone appreciates his work. However, this painting has been given to Son Ye-jin by him, so naturally it cannot be sold. And Liu Dong is not short of the money.
After glancing at Son Yejin's pretty face with a nervous expression, Liu Dong smiled and shook his head, "I think you heard it just now, I painted this painting as a gift to a friend!"
This subtext just doesn’t sell!
"2 million to buy your painting!"
Before the middle-aged man could speak, a young man in his early twenties standing behind him had already jumped in front.
Liu Dong couldn't help but feel disgusted when he saw the arrogant look on his big face, and the lustful and evil light that showed when his eyes turned to Son Ye Jin.
"This is another annoying second generation ancestor!" Liu Dongxin said.
"Not for sale!"
After finishing speaking in a cold voice, Liu Dong reached out and slowly rolled up the painting on the table.
Not to mention that he had already given this painting to Son Ye-jin, even if it were to be sold, Liu Dong would not consider it at all for 2 million won.
Nowadays, the price of his paintings in China has risen to 15,000 Chinese coins per square foot! And now the "Lady Picture" he painted is more than six square feet. In addition, Liu Dong also painted it with great care.
It is one of the best among his paintings. If sold at domestic art exhibitions, it would not be unusual for it to sell for 100,000 yuan!
2 million won is only the price of one square foot of Liu Dong’s painting!
"4000000!"
"Okay, Liangping! Stop talking!" the middle-aged man scolded sternly.
The middle-aged man who is good at observing words and emotions understood that the young man in front of him with superb calligraphy and painting skills was not easily moved by money, so he decisively planned what his son would say.
"dad……!"
"okay!"
The young man who was restrained by his father's stern gaze stopped angrily. In his opinion, the reason why Liu Dong didn't sell was simply because he wanted to please the pretty girl next to him. If he could come up with enough money, that guy would definitely do it.
I was so embarrassed that I offered the painting.
"By the way, this woman is really beautiful!"
Noticing the lustful eyes coming from the opposite side, Son Ye-jin showed disgust on her pretty face. She pulled Liu Dong's arm and whispered: "Liu Dong, let's go!"
"Um!"
Liu Dong nodded.
Originally, he had no intention of staying here any longer. If Son Ye-jin hadn't visited the gallery with great interest earlier and then painted this painting, he would have left long ago!
"Wait a minute, sir. I really like your painting! If you gave this painting to the beautiful lady next to you and won't sell it, why not paint a new one? Don't worry, if
If you are willing, money will definitely not be a problem!" The middle-aged man quickly stopped Liu Dongdao.
In fact, upon hearing this, Liu Dong was about to refuse directly. But after his eyes inadvertently glanced at a bead chain worn by the middle-aged man on his left hand, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.
In order to prevent others from noticing, Liu Dong quickly lowered his head and thought covertly. After calming down the chaotic thoughts in his heart, he raised his head and said, "How much money can you offer?"
Hearing this, the look on Son Yejin's pretty face froze, and her eyes couldn't help showing disappointment. Although she didn't know why she was like this, she still quietly let go of Liu Dong's delicate hand.
On the contrary, the middle-aged man looked overjoyed and said, "Sir, how much do you think is appropriate?"
"300,000...Chinese coins!" Liu Dong said slowly.
Although Liu Dong had other plans in mind and he did not expect to make money by selling paintings, he would not take the initiative to lower the price of his paintings.
After all, the grade and level of a painter are often reflected by the price of the painting.
"300,000?" The middle-aged man looked surprised.
"300,000 Chinese coins, more than 55 million won. That's so much, are you trying to steal the money? Even your broken painting is worth more than 50 million won?" The young man standing behind the middle-aged man couldn't help but said.
In fact, middle-aged people also think that the price is a bit too high!
"If you feel it's not worth it, forget it!" Liu Dong said coldly.
"What's your attitude!" Seeing Liu Dong ignoring his words, the young man known as "Liangping" said angrily.
"alright!"
"dad……!"
"Didn't you hear what I said?" The middle-aged man's serious expression made the young man afraid to speak anymore.
In Korea, a country that pays great attention to respect and inferiority, the authority of the head of the family is respected to the greatest extent. In the family, no one, whether it is the wife or the children, dares to be obedient.
"Sir, 300,000 Chinese coins is too high!"
Liu Dong nodded and said, "If you think it's better, then hire someone else!"
"No, sir, how about 250,000?"
"250,000?" After pretending to be silent for a while, Liu Dong nodded, "Okay, seeing as you are so sincere, I will agree to it. But I don't want your money, as long as you put your hands on this
Just give me back the beaded chain!”
"Bead chain?"
Following the direction of Liu Dong's fingers, the middle-aged man saw a string of Hetian jade beads on his left hand.
This bead chain has nine beads in total, each bead is the size of a longan, six white and three red. He bought it by chance in a store in Panjiayuan in Beijing during his last business trip in China.
In fact, he was deceived by the other party at that time. He thought it was high-quality Hetian jade, but after taking it for identification, he found out that it was resin. He originally wanted to throw it away, but then he thought it was his own expense.
I bought it for more than 20,000 Chinese coins and it was a pity to throw it away. Therefore, I have been wearing it on my left wrist until today.
Now seeing that Liu Dong is willing to ask for this fake Hotan to replace the 250,000 yuan in funds, the middle-aged man naturally wants it!
At that moment, he nodded quickly.
"Okay, okay, I agree!"
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man seemed to be afraid that Liu Dong would regret it, so he quickly took off the bead chain from his right wrist and handed it to Liu Dong's hand.
Liu Dong, who took it, was not polite and stuffed it into his trouser pocket. Of course, when stuffing it into his trouser pocket, the thing went into the mustard space.
Although the middle-aged man is ignorant of goods, Liu Dongke knows how valuable this bead necklace is. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a national treasure.
After getting what he wanted, Liu Dong didn't hesitate. After handing the "Pictures of Ladies" to Son Ye-jin, he walked back to the painting table, laid out the painting, polished the brush, and then asked: "You
What kind of painting do you want? Landscape or figures?"
"Landscape! If you can draw an eagle, or a roc, you can do it!" the middle-aged man said quickly.
"knew!"
As soon as he heard it, he knew that this middle-aged man wanted to give his painting away, so Liu Dong directly picked up the largest brush next to him. After the wolf brush was full of ink, Liu Dong flicked his wrist, and ink dots of different sizes appeared, and
Diamond-shaped and irregular peak-like ink marks appear on the rice paper in either thick or light colors.
At first glance, apart from clusters of ink stains of varying sizes and shades, there is no sense of beauty at all.
"You're at this level and you still dare to ask for 250,000 yuan? It's just an illusion!"
Liu Dong, who was completely immersed in the painting at this moment, did not notice the sarcasm of the young man named "Liangping" next to him.
Moreover, he doesn't need to argue with a person who he originally regarded as an 'ant', which has lowered his grade and IQ in vain!
After splashing ink with a large brush, it is natural to use a small brush to shape the shape. With Liu Dong's axe-cutting and dyeing, plus line drawing and many other techniques, a wonderful brush made the originally unsightly picture appear. Bit by bit, the towering group of people appeared.
Mountains, winding rivers, lush trees, strange rocks of different shapes, and a vast space with vast sky and high ground.
Anyone around you can take a quick look and feel the majestic atmosphere coming from the picture.
Such a miraculous change also made people fully realize that the young man in front of them was indeed a great painter with superb skills.
"To have such painting skills at such a young age is really amazing!"
"Yes, I just don't know which master in China this person is a disciple of?"
"There are only a few people in Korea who can draw such exquisite Chinese paintings and write such beautiful calligraphy. Not surprisingly, this young man is their disciple!"
Listening to the continuous complimentary comments about Liu Dong, especially after seeing the admiration and even a little bit of admiration on Son Ye Jin's face, the young man named "Liang Ping" blushed!
When his eyes looked at Liu Dong, they were full of malice!
"alright!"
In less than half an hour, Liu Dong put down his pen!
"So fast?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised.
"What do you think?" Liu Dong asked.
In fact, he also divided his paintings among people. If it was really a gift to a friend, then he would naturally have to paint it well. For example, the "Lady Picture" just given to Son Ye-jin. The content in the picture is not as much as this landscape painting, but Liu
It took Dong more than an hour.
Not only did this painting take less time, even the seal, Liu Dong only left a pavilion seal of "Jianlu" on the place where he pressed his feet.
This is a painting of a coping nature. If it were not for the other party's face, Liu Dong would not even leave the corner seal.
"is that OK?"
After the middle-aged man looked at the painting for a while, Liu Dong asked.
"Well, it's no problem, but...!" After hesitating for a while, the middle-aged man couldn't say anything.
In fact, he didn't know much about painting and could only roughly distinguish between good and bad. In his opinion, Liu Dong's painting was not inferior to the "Portrait of Ladies" just now, it just took a shorter time.
"Since there is no problem, let's say goodbye!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Dong directly pulled Son Yejin away from the crowd and walked out.
Many people who wanted to be like middle-aged people and wanted to buy his paintings were disappointed and sighed.
"Dad, do we really want to take this painting away? I don't think it's worth anything at all. Besides, that person is not a painter at all, he is a liar!"
"Okay, stop saying a few words! I'm not old enough to know right from wrong!" the middle-aged man lectured.
However, looking at his son who was still unconvinced after being taught a lesson by him, the middle-aged man couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. His second son is really a playboy. Fortunately, he also has a smart and capable eldest son, otherwise he would have to wait for him
A hundred years later, the family business he worked so hard to build will sooner or later be ruined by this unsatisfactory son.
After waiting for a while, when the landscape painting left by Liu Dong was dry, the middle-aged man quickly and carefully rolled it up.
Next, he will have it framed, then take it to China and give it to a local government official who likes calligraphy and painting. Only by pleasing the other party can his company successfully enter the local market.
In fact, if not for this, he would not have participated in the calligraphy and painting exhibition in Insadong. Unfortunately, the exhibition hall contained either oil paintings, Korean calligraphy, or ink paintings with Korean characters.
He didn't want to bring these calligraphy and paintings with Korean characters that the other party couldn't understand to China. Otherwise, if the flattery was not photographed well, it would be easy to photograph the horse's legs, making things more difficult.
Fortunately, Liu Dong solved his problem, which is why he was willing to spend 250,000 to buy Liu Dong's paintings.
As for buying cheaper ones in China, the middle-aged man has not never considered it. But the reason why he has not done so is that one is lack of time, and the other is that he has already become interested in the Hetian jade bracelet after being deceived last time.
Antique shops or galleries in China, especially Panjiayuan, have a sense of resistance.
For successful people, they will never allow themselves to fall twice in a row at the same place.
