..."Mr. Wang, I want all these oil paintings. Please give me a price!" Liu Dong has always been resolute and resolute when encountering something he likes, without hesitation!
"You...want it all?" After hearing Liu Dong's words, Wang Hongqi was shocked!
After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts and coming here, what Wang Hongqi hopes most is that someone can appreciate his paintings and become a world-influential art master like Rembrandt!
But it is a pity that four years have passed since graduation, and he can only make ends meet by selling paintings! Although he is only 27 years old, Wang Hongqi feels that the gap between his ideal and reality is too big. He once considered
Should we simply give up our pursuit of a higher level of oil painting and become an art teacher in a high school like other graduates, or simply change careers?
But Wang Hongqi was really unwilling to give up. From the time he started painting in junior high school until he graduated from college, and now, for nearly ten years, the best years of his life have been spent on small brushes and canvases. Wang Hongqi really couldn't bear to give up.
To this day, he still thinks that he may be like Van Gogh, whose paintings will never be appreciated by anyone in his life, but the man in front of him who is younger than himself actually said that he wants to buy all his paintings!
Wang Hongqi twisted his thigh hard, and the pain quickly spread throughout his body. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but get excited...
Liu Dong naturally saw his actions, smiled in his heart and said: "What? Mr. Wang doesn't want to sell it?"
"Sell it, I'll sell it!" Wang Hongqi said quickly.
"Then how much do you plan to sell one for?" Liu Dongxiao asked.
After gritting his teeth and hesitating for a moment, Wang Hongqi raised his right hand and raised two fingers. He said in an uncertain tone: "Two thousand?"
"Two thousand is no problem!"
Hearing Liu Dong's agreement without hesitation, Wang Hongqi almost bit his tongue. He thought the other party would return the offer!
"Liu Dong...!"
After interrupting Chang Fangtao with a wave of his hand, Liu Dong said: "Mr. Wang, I agree to two thousand paintings. You count how many of these paintings there are. I can pack them up and take them away, and pay on the spot!"
"Okay, okay!" Wang Hongqi said excitedly.
Of course, the reason why there is no counteroffer is that Liu Dong also has his own considerations! Because he values Wang Hongqi’s future potential, it will be easier to win his favor now and negotiate later!
But Chang Fangtao obviously didn't know his plan, so he was puzzled by Liu Dong's behavior. In his opinion, for a so-called painter with no reputation, a painting worth two thousand is expensive! You know, this is an ordinary job.
One month’s salary!
Finally, Wang Hongqi counted the remaining oil paintings. There were 136 paintings of various sizes in total. Liu Dong bought them all for 272,000!
Liu Dong simply paid 300,000 yuan and packed Wang Hongqi's remaining hundreds of sketches together with some gouache and sketches!
After signing the transaction contract, Liu Dong moved all the paintings to his car. Then he took out 300,000 in cash from Jiezi Space and handed it to Wang Hongqi.
Then the three of them sat down in the living room again.
"Mr. Wang, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you!"
At this moment, Liu Dong is already an out-and-out big funder in Wang Hongqi's eyes. Moreover, he is also a big funder who appreciates his painting style, so facing Liu Dong at this moment, Wang Hongqi's expression has become a lot more respectful.
!
"Please tell me!"
After nodding, Liu Dong said: "Mr. Wang shouldn't have signed a contract with a gallery, right?"
"No!"
If he signed a contract with a gallery, he wouldn't have to live here!
"Well, I happen to appreciate Mr. Wang's painting style very much. I also have a gallery under my banner, so I want to sign Mr. Wang into my gallery. I wonder if Mr. Wang is willing!"
"What an honor!" Wang Hongqi said excitedly. What any painter in a painter's village looks forward to most is to have a gallery sign them, because once they sign into a gallery, their life is basically guaranteed! Even in the worst case,
With an income of several thousand yuan a month, if you paint well and the gallery's packaging and promotion are strong, you will immediately have the opportunity to become a so-called young painter. If you win a few more influential awards, you can look forward to the future.
Enjoy the luxurious life of traveling in luxury cars and staying overnight in mansions!
Basically, this is the case in the painting world. The income of painters is not the so-called pyramid shape, but a spindle shape. The polarization is very serious. The top painters earn hundreds or tens of millions, but the bottom painters sometimes have problems with food and clothing.
"Okay, this is a contract I drafted. If Mr. Wang thinks there is no problem, you can sign it!" As he said that, Liu Dong took advantage of Wang Hongqi to draw the two contracts he had just drafted.
Take it out.
Having been in charge of Dongchao Group for more than half a year, Liu Dong has approved countless documents and is already very familiar with basic legal texts, so it is not difficult for him to draft two simple contracts.
Perhaps because he was too excited, Wang Hongqi signed his name on two identical contracts without paying any attention to the thirty-year contract period and 50% profit sharing in the contract!
In fact, even if Wang Hongqi sees these figures, he will sign them without hesitation. Because even if the contract conditions are harsh, his income after signing with the gallery will definitely be much higher than if he were to work as a deserter!
The contract was made in two copies. After Liu Dong took one of them into his hands, a stone finally fell in his heart, "Mr. Wang, according to the contract, you must produce six works a year, and each one cannot be dealt with."
, you have no problem, right?"
"no problem!"
"Okay, here is my business card. If you have anything, you can call me and we will arrange an agent for you as soon as possible!"...
When Liu Dong and the two came out of Wang Hongqi's house and were about to drive away, Chang Fangtao couldn't help but said: "Liu Dong, are you planning to open a gallery?"
"I didn't plan to open it originally, but now I can't do it anymore!" Liu Dong shook his head.
Originally, according to his plan, Chenxiang Pavilion's pen order business would first start with traditional Chinese painting according to the old tradition, and then develop little by little! Who would have thought that by an unexpected coincidence, a calligraphy and painting exhibition would lead to Liu Dong signing an oil painter first!
Of course, Liu Dong does not regret signing the contract because he is optimistic about Wang Hongqi's future. But now he lacks an institution that can operate oil painters and make profits for him, that is, a gallery!
"Old Chang, don't you often come to the Painting and Calligraphy City? Do you know that the gallery is not doing well and may be for sale?" Liu Dong asked.
Hearing this, Chang Fangtao shook his head, "I really don't understand you. You don't even have a gallery. You just signed a contract with a painter. Don't you feel sad at all about the basic salary of 3,000 per month?"
However, seeing Liu Dong's unmoved look, Chang Fangtao simply stopped talking to the wealthy man about money, "There must be galleries for sale, but I don't know exactly which ones they are. I'll help him after I get back."
Just ask my uncle, he will definitely know!"
"Okay, after I say hello, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Dong's cell phone rang!
"Yes, I understand. I'll be there right away!" After a few simple responses, he hung up the phone and said, "Old Chang, where will I send you later? Is the community where you live or the calligraphy and painting city?"
"Let's go to the community. It's already past four o'clock now, and the calligraphy and painting city is basically empty!" After noticing Liu Dong's expression, Chang Fangtao also knew that he should have something important, so after Liu Dong finished speaking, Chang Fangtao
Tao didn’t even mention the idea of having dinner together in the evening and then going to a KTV to have fun!
"Okay!" He nodded, sent Chang Fangtao off, told him not to forget what he had done, and turned around and drove towards the municipal government compound!
When Liu Dong's Land Rover parked inside the municipal government office compound, Lin Ling was already waiting there!
"How is the situation?" Liu Dong was not polite and asked directly after getting off the car.
"The Qingzhou city government is very enthusiastic about our investment, but they are worried about our funding problems!" Lin Ling said.
"funds?"
"Yes, nearly 1.5 billion was invested in the early Yanghe development plan and the subsequent construction of Qiangwei Town. This amount of money has exceeded the current total assets of Jiahua Group, so they are worried about whether we can guarantee the later stage.
Continuous investment!”
After listening to Lin Ling's words, Liu Dong nodded clearly.
While the two were talking, Lin Ling had already brought Liu Dong to the conference room on the fifth floor of the office building, where Jiahua's negotiation team was currently meeting with the city government!
"This is the chairman of our Jiahua Company!" When Liu Dong came to the door, Lin Ling quickly said to the security guard standing outside the door.
"Please come in, please come in!" Although he was a little shocked that Liu Dong controlled a large group at such a young age, the personnel responsible for the security of the entire conference room quickly moved out of the way.
"Click!" As the door opened, Liu Dong strode in and immediately attracted the attention of both parties.
"Chairman!" Seeing Liu Dong, Wen Hui quickly stood up with Jiahua's negotiators.
Seeing them like this, the government participants naturally couldn't sit still anymore!
"Xiaodong?"
"Second Senior Brother!" Looking at Huo Jianmin with a shocked look on his face, Liu Dong smiled and greeted him.
Liu Dong is not surprised that the other party is here. Because of Jiahua's investment project, he also intends to let the second senior brother take the lead and give him a political achievement for free, so that the wealth will not go to outsiders!
"You...are you really the chairman of Jiahua Company?" Huo Jianmin finally realized after a long time and stuttered.
It's no wonder that he is like this. Anyone who meets someone he knows very well will be shocked to see that he has gone from a penniless poor student to the helm of a large group with hundreds of millions of assets in less than three years.
"good!"
Although Liu Dong nodded, Huo Jianmin could not equate his junior brother with the chairman of Jiahua Group with a total assets of more than one billion!
However, Huo Jianmin, who has been in the officialdom for decades, has extraordinary determination and is definitely not low in political wisdom. He naturally knows that now is not the time for the two brothers to reminisce about the past, and quickly introduces to Liu Dong: "This is Xiaodong.
Our Mayor Liu Changshan of Qingzhou City!"
"Hello, Mayor Liu!" Liu Dong took a few steps forward and said with a smile.
"Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be an old acquaintance with Mayor Huo!" As he said that, Liu Changshan took Liu Dong's right hand that he stretched out. He was also deeply surprised by Liu Dong's youth!
"Yes, my second senior brother took good care of me when I was young!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"So Mr. Liu is also a native of Qingzhou?" Liu Changshan said in surprise with a hint of joy after recalling Liu Dong's name to Huo Jianmin.
"Yes, I'm from Beixingluo Village, Zhuliang Town! I'm an authentic Qingzhou native!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Haha, Mr. Liu is a talented person from Qingzhou. He has created such a huge career at such a young age. It's really not easy...!" After the two complimented each other a few more times, Liu Changshan handed over the negotiators from the Qingzhou Municipal Government to Liu Dong.
After an introduction, both parties sat down together.
"Mr. Liu, thank you very much for your enthusiasm for investment and development in your hometown. Our municipal government is also very honored. However, your Jiahua tourism development plan is too huge, involving more than a dozen villages in a town and the lives of tens of thousands of villagers;
The land collected exceeds 2,500 acres, and the capital invested has reached 1.5 billion Chinese dollars. We are very worried about your company's ability to sustain investment. You know that if you are unable to complete the construction and the project is unfinished, it will be a disaster for the people of the entire Yanghe area.
It has a huge impact on people’s lives and economic development, and our government has to be cautious! ... In addition, you have experienced work stoppages before!"
After listening to Liu Changshan's words, Liu Dong smiled and said, "The previous project was suspended because of the problem of Renhe Reservoir. I think our boss Wen has discussed this issue with you before!"
"Yes, we agree with your proposal of converting the 30 million maintenance funds into land contract funds!" Liu Changshan said.
After nodding, Liu Dong said: "I know that Mayor Liu is worried about the capital investment in Jiahua's subsequent scenic area development, but Mayor Liu must be familiar with our Jiahua Group. Our group has just received 80 million from Qingyang Venture Capital."
With the injection of US dollars, there will be enough funds to support the development and construction of Yanghe Scenic Area and Qiangwei Town."
"But according to our information, Jiahua International Travel Service and Jiahua Hotel Group, both under the Jiahua Group, are expanding aggressively. It is obviously supported by this fund, and you have also invested in tourism in Guanjiachong, Hubei."
The funds that can be invested in Yanghe for project development are only about 500 million!"
Liu Changshan's answer surprised Liu Dong. It seemed that this person's investigation of Jiahua Group was quite detailed.
"Since Mayor Liu knows our Jiahua so well, he should know that our Jiahua's debt ratio is very low. (The first bank loan of 60 million has been repaid) With the current scale of our group, it should not be possible to borrow 300 million from the bank.
What a big problem! In this way, the funds for the mid- and early-stage development of Yanghe Scenic Area will be secured! In addition, the expansion of Jiahua International Travel Agency and Hotel Group can also bring in a large amount of income, which is enough for the follow-up development of Yanghe Scenic Area.
Develop!... Also, I wonder if Mayor Liu has ever heard of Rose Jewelry?" Liu Dongdao. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
