While the outside world was fussing around, Lu Xiaobu was meeting someone.
It's that American collector Smith.
"What do you want from me?"
Lu Xiaobu looked at Smith in front of him and said.
"I want to work with you."
Smith said with great sincerity.
Lu Xiaobu: "Which aspect?!"
Smith: “Bamboo art?”
Lu Xiaobu: "This can also be cooperated?! Bamboo art is not a so-called art to you! What is the need for cooperation in this thing?!"
In his view, art has always been the preserve of a few people. You want the public to accept so-called art?!
That's nothing more than a fool's dream.
Not to mention the so-called cooperation!
When Smith heard this, he smiled and said, "Mr. Lu must have never been exposed to this business, so he said such a thing. Art is very profitable."
Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows: "How do you say that?!"
If it can allow students to have a more stable income, it will definitely have more benefits for the construction of the school than the current three-year operation.
Smith said in detail: "First of all, what is known to the public is the hype of art. Of course, as you said, this is a business for a few people."
Lu Xiaobu: "Continue."
Smith nodded: "Second, it is the value of the artist himself. For example, the five Japanese bamboo masters this time. Although they have experienced bad things in China, their appearance fees this time are not small.
In a sense, they are also a kind of stars! I know you have a film and television company, so it would be understandable if you regard them as stars!"
Lu Xiaobu nodded: "But this is still a business for a few people. You know this is not what I want."
Smith smiled: "Of course, the last point I will talk about is the key, and that is luxury goods."
Lu Xiaobu frowned: "Luxury goods?! How do you say this?! Can this bamboo art be regarded as a luxury goods!?"
Smith: "Of course, you may not pay attention, but in fact many luxury goods have works of art in them! When a luxury product carries the word art, it will become a representative of luxury goods, fully
It shows his value."
Lu Xiaobu frowned and was noncommittal. He had never been exposed to anything in the luxury goods industry.
"Oh, please take a look, Mr. Lu." Smith took out a piece of paper that he had prepared a long time ago: "Look, the top one is the work of the international artist George William. This painting has been sold at a sky-high price, and people are all trying to get it.
I'm proud of it as an authentic piece."
Lu Xiaobu: "Continue."
Smith: "Further down, leaving aside fakes and imitations, that is the luxury goods industry. Inspired by artworks that are higher than luxury goods, creating and producing luxury goods with an artistic flavor is the most profitable.
It’s a part of the world!”
Having said this, Lu Xiaobu nodded, probably understanding what Smith meant!
In short, why are luxury goods called luxury goods?!
In fact, luxury goods are daily necessities for the upper class. For ordinary people, they are called luxury goods.
Art is undoubtedly the most luxurious thing, and it is even a luxury item for the upper class.
Therefore, what Smith means is to make luxury goods a trend through art and then make profits.
This is a very complete operation system!
"Why are you looking for me?"
Lu Xiaobu continued to ask.
"The person we cooperated with at the beginning was Mr. Zhan Longyan, but due to your appearance, we changed the partners." Smith has the usual thinking of Westerners, which is simple and direct.
"First, your artwork is more valuable than his!"
"Secondly, all of his bamboo skills come from today. Adding him to this step has actually paid an extra price!"
"Third, you are obviously more influential than him, both in China and in the United States!"
"The above three points are the reasons why my boss chooses to cooperate with you!"
When Smith came, he had already inquired about Lu Xiaobu and liked to get straight to the point, so if they kept their Western mindset, it would be easier to win Lu Xiaobu's favor.
As expected.
“Good choice.”
Lu Xiaobu readily agreed.
This is a matter of mutual benefit.
What does this equate to?!
Lu Xiaobu has mastered the fashion channels and the production factory, while Smith and the others are responsible for sales and operations.
In this way, Lu Xiaobu's school has already found a way out for students who choose to study this industry before classes even begin!
Regardless of whether they follow Lu Xiaobu or not, they can learn and carry forward with peace of mind!
Not a bad choice, isn’t it!
"Thank you, this is definitely the right decision." Smith was overjoyed!
"By the way, I have one more request." Lu Xiaobu suddenly remembered something.
"Please tell me." Smith nodded immediately.
"Add this." Lu Xiaobu took out a symbol known to everyone on the extinct website, Lu Xiaobu Certification!
"this!"
When Smith saw this sign, he hesitated.
This move is even more terrifying than their profit concession.
Because once this symbol forms a habit in people's minds, they will inevitably be strongly restricted by Lu Xiaobu.
Let’s give a simple example!
diamond!
As soon as these two words are mentioned, everyone knows what they mean!
Expensive! Rare! Luxurious! Love! Eternal!
But, in fact, there is no shortage of diamonds!
A lot of diamond mines.
If all were mined, diamonds would become a common commodity!
And do you think people don’t know this news?!
In this Internet age, how could they not know?!
But, even if you know, so what?!
Diamonds have already formed a fixed impression. If you say more, it will be useless!
It just represents expensiveness! rarity! luxury! love! eternity! Just say whether you want to buy it or not!
And that Lu Xiaobu certification has the same effect as diamonds!
Smith suddenly realized that he had underestimated Lu Xiaobu!
I originally thought that cooperation could be easily achieved, but I didn't expect that Lu Xiaobu's casual move would be fatal to them!
This Lu Xiaobu should not be underestimated!
There is an old saying in China: Thunder strikes in a silent place!
In his opinion, this sentence is talking about people like Lu Xiaobu!
"I need to discuss it," Smith finally said.
"Of course, we can discuss it slowly."
Lu Xiaobu nodded: "If you have reached an agreement, just go to Liang Lan and I won't interfere anymore."
"OK."
Smith nodded.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. As for me, I am quite anxious. If you are slow here, I might do it myself."
Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said something unclear.
After saying this once, Smith felt as if he had fallen into the ice cellar. Who said that Lu Xiaobu has a straightforward personality?! This is simply an old fox who is good at hiding and is as wise as a fool! Every move is more cruel than the last!
