Although it was a little hasty, in the face of the euro, the efficiency of the villa rental company reached the fastest rate in history... Almost after Liu Dong finished sorting out the paintings at Lehman Brich's house, the villa there had been rented, and even the housekeeper
Arrangements have been made with the waiter.
Of course, such fast efficiency and perfect service attitude also cost Liu Dong nearly 500,000 euros. However, this amount of money is not in his heart.
After a busy afternoon, Liu Dong finally moved the left and right paintings he bought into the newly rented villa. After dinner, he did not bother to make out with Helen, and Liu Dong was busy among the mountains of paintings.
stand up.
"Honey, what are you looking for?"
Seeing Liu Dong flipping through these old sketches that were yellowing and even partly moldy, Helen came over curiously.
"I want to see if there are any high-level works that I like here! Anyway, it's okay to have nothing to do at night!" Liu Dong did not say the reason.
After nodding her head, Helen picked up a small pile of about six or seven sketch papers that Liu Dong put next to her. After looking at it for a few times, Helen asked, "Is this a sketch?"
"Um!"
Liu Dong nodded.
"However, the quality of these sketches is not very good!" After briefly looking at the pictures, Helen frowned.
"But their authors are famous modern Chinese painters. Although these sketches were left behind when they were studying in the West, and their level is not too high. But if it were traded to the Chinese auction market, the price of each painting would be very high.
For less than 50,000 euros, or even more!”
"Really?" Helen had a surprised look on her face.
Although 50,000 euros is nothing to her, the person who can sell a low-level sketch for such a high price is undoubtedly not a famous painter.
"of course it's true!"
Liu Dongshao even said $50,000.
Xu Beihong, Lin Fengmian, Yan Wenliang, Pan Yuliang, Liu Haisu, paintings with these names, even if it is a small sketch, some people are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy it, and there are even high prices.
When they were in school, the value and artistic level of their careful drawings was always much higher than the sketches they drew casually.
Although it is not known how the manuscripts of these Chinese art masters fell into the hands of Brich's grandfather, fortunately Lehmann Brich did not understand the achievements of these people in the East. It is simply because of the
The painting level shown was not very high, so I ignored it.
It just so happened that Liu Dong picked up a big leak!
"Then let me help you find it!"
"No, these paintings haven't been cleaned up for a long time, and they are very dirty with dust and other things. You'd better not come over to join in the fun. Besides, do you know which ones I need?" Liu Dong waved his hand.
"Isn't it just with Chinese characters written on it? How rare is that!" Helen said.
"Not all their paintings have this Chinese name written on them!" As he spoke, Liu Dong put up a sketch he had just found.
The content of the work is a bust of a Frenchman, and the full name does not appear in the signature part, but is replaced by 'lhs'!
And 'lhs' is the pinyin abbreviation of Liu Haisu. Of course, it is not Chinese pinyin at this time, but Roman letters!
"All right!"
After nodding dissatisfied, Helen put down the sketch exercise in her hand, "Then I'm going to rest first?"
"Well, go ahead. You've been on a plane all day and have been busy for such a long time. You're tired too!"
After saying that, he stood up and kissed Helen on the forehead, before Liu Dong sent her to the bedroom on the second floor.
Without Helen by his side, Liu Dong could use the relic Yuan Guang to repair damaged sketches without any scruples, and find the sketches he wanted.
In less than half an hour, he had already selected more than 300 works by famous modern Chinese artists from more than 10,000 sketches.
There are sketches and sketches, but the only regret is that there are no oil paintings or watercolors.
"However, it is rare to get this unexpected surprise!" Liu Dong thought to himself.
Although the monetary value of these paintings is not a big deal in his mind, the artistic value cannot be simply measured with money. With them, the individual exhibition halls of various famous artists in Liu Dong's Yuanming Museum naturally become richer.
!
"call!"
After finishing his business and exhaling, Liu Dong looked at the messy sketch exercise and waved to the bodyguard next to him!
"boss!"
"Get a few more people to come over and sort out these sketches. Let's move them to the warehouse outside!"
"clear!"
The bodyguard nodded and quickly summoned a dozen of his colleagues. Together they cleaned up the messy sketch exercises on the floor and moved them outside one after another.
Now, Liu Dong has become more and more accustomed to having people around him. Although he is very powerful, he has also begun to reserve bodyguards around him. He does not need them to protect his safety, but when he needs people, they can appear on time by his side.
enough.
Seeing that the living room had become tidy again, Liu Dong, who was sitting on the sofa, breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he took the sketches of famous artists that he had sorted out and began to appreciate them with relish.
"Chairman, Manager Qiu is here!"
Looking at Qiu Hairui who walked in under the leadership of his bodyguards, Liu Dong stood up and said with a smile, "I'm back. How is the situation?"
"According to the chairman's request, our gallery has signed an economic contract with Lehman Brich for twenty years. After every one of his works is sold, our gallery can get 10% of the commission! This is signed
Please have the chairman read the contract text!"
After taking it, Liu Dong glanced at it for a few times and then returned it.
"What do you think of this person's level? Does he have the foundation to become famous?" Liu Dong said.
"Mr. Brich's artistic level in neoclassicism is very high. It can be said that he is the only one I have seen now. It is hard to imagine that such a high-level painter has been unknown before." After shaking his head, Qiu Hairui continued, "If
According to the level and means of our packaging and promotion, the current value of Lehmann Brich's paintings can quickly increase several times, or even more than ten times. But you know that serious neoclassical themes are not very popular nowadays.
He is welcomed by the market. Therefore, we cannot predict exactly how far he can reach. But what is certain is that signing Lehman Brich will make us a large profit."
"That's good!" Liu Dong nodded.
Although the large profits claimed by the other party are only a few hundred thousand or millions of euros in Liu Dong's opinion. But compared to the smaller European branch of Wenrui Gallery, this is already a large amount of money.
Profit!
"As for artistic matters, you are a professional! How the company is run and how Lehmann Brich is packaged and promoted is your business. I will not interfere too much! As long as the company does not lose money in the end!"
"I understand, Chairman!"
"Hmm! ...Also, the prudent policies implemented by European companies are right, and we will continue to follow this path in the future. Now we are not in a hurry to compete with international giants such as Saatchi Gallery, Bai Hegao Gallery, Anderson Gallery and Dulong Gallery. First, we
By looking for young painters who can be trained as the focus of investment. If there is an opportunity, we can also acquire valuable galleries to expand our channels and develop step by step. Don’t rush for quick success!”
If it were a year ago, Liu Dong would definitely not have said this. But now he is increasingly troubled by various indigestive company symptoms after being devoured by whales, and he has gradually come to understand.
After a period of rapid expansion, what is most needed is stability. First, deal with the internal problems, and then consider how to further develop.
Looking at Qiu Hairui who left after agreeing, Liu Dong couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If I could understand these truths back then, I probably wouldn't be as passive as I am now!"
As soon as Liu Dong finished his thoughts, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
As soon as I pressed the answer button, Feng Jianhui's voice came over.
"Chairman, the railway matter has been decided!"
"Is the contract signed?" Liu Dong said happily.
"Yes! From Ulangumu in northwest Mongolia to Baotou in Inner Mongolia, the entire railway is 1,215 kilometers long. The single-line investment and the railway ancillary facilities cost 20 million Chinese yuan per kilometer, and the total mileage investment is 24.3 billion Chinese yuan.
!The entire railway is constructed by the China Railway Second Bureau, and we are responsible for the investment in the domestic section. The investment in the Mongolian section is taken care of by the Borzhijin family, but they said they cannot spare so much money for the time being and hope that our alliance can provide loans.
!”
"The loan is no problem! Just let Hanhua Commercial Bank be responsible for it! The key is how to calculate the operating rights of the railway?"
"According to the agreement we reached with the central government, the road rights belong to the central government, and we can control the management rights for 50 years. The Mongolian domestic railway. The road rights belong to the Borjijin family, but we can obtain 35% of the shares of the railway through part of the investment!"
"35%, isn't it 49%?" Liu Dong frowned.
"Mr. Hu Lei said that in order to win over more allies and push the Mongolian government to pass the construction of this railway, they have already given away some equity in advance. 35% is the largest share he can give us!"
"knew!"
Liu Dong could barely accept Hu Lei's explanation because he himself was prepared to do the same.
"Jianhui, after the railway construction begins, you should immediately prepare for the Northwest Railway Company. It is enough for Hanhua Group to hold 60% of the company's shares. The rest will be transferred. Of course, the transfer party must be the one we are currently cooperating with.
ally."
"clear!"
The railway company is too eye-catching. Even if it has the support of the state and the background of the Liu family, if Liu Dong lives alone, it may cause some unnecessary undercurrents. Therefore, Liu Dong chose to use the method of selling shares to win over more people.
ally.
Just like his idea of dividing all 40% of his shares in a non-core company like Hengyuan Real Estate into 13 equal shares and transferring them to the thirteen and third generations of the Liu family.
If you want to succeed in this world and continue to be successful as always, you must not eat alone.
In this way, you can avoid a lot of troubles caused by "pink eye", and you can also attract more allies to continue to expand your business territory.
