Chapter 810 Save the cat or save the painting (4100+ chapters~)
On the second day in Paris, Wu Jianye gave He Qing and others a day off and let them go out to play.
"Aren't you going to go shopping?" Wu Jianye asked Zhou Huimin who was in the room and did not go out with He Qing and others.
Zhou Huimin smiled and shook her head, saying: "I don't like those things too much!"
Wu Jianye chuckled. Zhou Huimin is actually a very Buddhist girl. She is not very keen on all kinds of enjoyment. In the activities she usually participates in Xiangjiang, she wears colorful clothes and wears jewelry.
Sponsored by Chow Tai Fook, I usually live more at home.
Sometimes, Wu Jianye even wonders, if it hadn't been for that chance encounter, would it be impossible for Zhou Huimin to be with him?
It's not that Wu Jianye is not charming enough, but Zhou Huimin definitely can't stand the person behind Wu Jianye...
Sometimes, things are just so amazing.
Fate is wonderful!
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere, you'll definitely like it!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Zhou Huimin asked curiously, "Where?"
"You'll know after you go!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
After that, Dai Zhen asked the driver to prepare the car.
After getting into the car with Zhou Huimin, they went straight to their destination.
Soon they arrived at their destination.
"Seine River!" Zhou Huimin looked at the scenery in front of her and smiled happily.
To be precise, this should be the right bank of the Seine River. Not far from the right bank of the Seine River are the famous Louvre Museum and Versailles Palace in Paris.
It can be said that this is a place where some literary and artistic young people are bound to check in when traveling abroad. However, for Wu Jianye, he has never cared about these reputations. However, Zhou Huimin was very excited after seeing all this.
Holding Wu Jianye's hand, she walked happily on the bank of the Seine. There were many couples just like them. Some were taking photos with their cameras, while others were holding hands and clinging to each other, saying things that outsiders couldn't hear.
A whisper.
Following the Seine River, the two came to the Louvre Museum. On the north side was the famous Paris Opera House. Dai Zhen had already handed them the purchased tickets.
The two held hands and walked into the Louvre, known as the first of the four major museums in the world.
The first place the two visited was the Oriental Art Museum of the Louvre, where Wu Jianye saw the "Code of Hammurabi" in Jay Chou's song.
I saw mummies and the Sphinx in the Ancient Egypt Museum...
Then there are the sculptures of Samtras, the goddess of victory, and Venus, the god of love, in the Ancient Greek and Roman Pavilion...
The painting gallery also displays many famous works.
Of course, the most famous one is still Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
After seeing this portrait, Wu Jianye suddenly remembered a joke from later generations, and smiled and asked Zhou Huimin next to him: "If there was a fire in the Louvre now, there would be a cat and Mona Lisa's smile here, and
You can only choose to save one thing, will you choose to save the cat or the Mona Lisa smile?"
Zhou Huimin was seriously appreciating the painting at this time. Hearing Wu Jianye suddenly asked this, he fell into deep thought. Finally, Zhou Huimin said seriously: "Although I really want to save that painting, I think if it really comes
At that time, I will save the cat."
"No matter what, it is a life. I can't just watch a life being burned to death in front of me!"
Seeing Wu Jianye's smile, Zhou Huimin also became curious and asked: "If it were you, who would you save?"
"I will put the painting on the cat and save the cat!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Zhou Huimin glanced at Wu Jianye angrily, feeling that Wu Jianye was setting a trap on herself.
This is actually Wu Jianye's temperament. Since the existing rules cannot explain these things, then he has to find another way, which is always more difficult than it is.
Wu Jianye is not a person who follows the rules. When he was reborn, Wu Jianye could have made some money with the golden finger of his rebirth, then bought a house in a few streets, and then happily became a landlord, but
Wu Jianye did not do this. He chose a career that he liked.
However, Wu Jianye also clearly knows that if he is just an ordinary director and works part-time as a contractor, then Wu Jianye may become a top director, but for Chinese movies, there will not be too many
Its usefulness, even in this era, he will be subject to many restrictions.
At this time, Wu Jianye needed other bargaining chips in addition to his role as director, and all of this created Wu Jianye's current business empire.
This is actually Wu Jianye exploiting the loopholes of the Chinese film system, looking for loopholes outside the rules, and then becoming a stepping stone for his own development. This is the basis for Wu Jianye's current success in the Chinese film market and even the global film market.
When the two walked out of the Louvre, it was already afternoon, the sun had turned into sunset, and the weather was getting colder.
Zhou Huimin's excited expression formed a sharp contrast with Wu Jianye's indifferent expression.
The two of them were sitting in the car, and Zhou Huimin asked curiously: "Why do I feel that you are not so excited?"
Wu Jianye looked back at the Louvre, which was getting further away, and said with a smile: "A large part of the treasures stored in it do not belong to this country, but now they have become the treasures of this national museum. This
How much war is mixed in?"
Zhou Huimin was very surprised why Wu Jianye had such an idea, but after thinking about it, he didn't know how to persuade Wu Jianye, so in the end he had no choice but to remain silent.
However, Wu Jianye sensed Zhou Huimin's complicated expression and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, by the way, since you like these things so much, I will give you a gift when I return to Xiangjiang!"
Zhou Huimin looked at Wu Jianye curiously and asked, "What gift?"
"Van Gogh's "Irises"!" Wu Jianye said calmly.
At the Sotheby's spring auction, Wu Jianye paid a high price of 56 million US dollars to buy "Iris". He was originally planning to exchange it with European rich people for Chinese antiques, but it never succeeded, and it is still being sold by Wu Jian.
Stay at Wu's house in Xiangjiang at night.
Unlike Westerners who held Van Gogh's "Irises" so highly, Wu Jianye only regarded it as an ordinary collection.
"Is "Iris" in your hands?" Zhou Huimin looked at Wu Jianye in shock.
At the time, "Irises" set the highest auction price for a painting in the world, and it was reported even in Xiangjiang. However, Zhou Huimin never expected that this painting was actually photographed by Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Yes, the painting "Irises" is still in Wu's house. I will give it to you when I return to Xiangjiang!"
"But this painting..." Zhou Huimin said with some worry. The price of this painting is really too expensive, 56 million US dollars!
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Don't think about that, 56 million is just a number!"
As Wu Jianye's legal wife, Zhu Xie does not need to have a career of her own, not to mention that Wu Nianyi is Wu Jianye's appointed successor.
Gong Yin now has his own business. He believes that with his help, Angel Underwear and "VG Fashion" will become top companies in the future, and Wu Jianye has also prepared his own wealth for Wu Qichen.
Needless to say, Li Xiu Ming's advertising company is now also a very famous advertising company in North America. At the same time, Wu Luoxin will inherit most of Wu Jianye's investment in North America.
Only Zhou Huimin got less from her. Since she likes these works of art, then leave them to her!
Anyway, Wu Jianye doesn't have much interest in European art.
After the two returned to the hotel, they also saw He Qing and Chen Hong after shopping.
But looking at their expressions, they don't seem very beautiful.
Wu Jianye smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
He Qingdao: "Nothing."
But Chen Hong said from the side: "It's nothing, Director Wu, those foreigners look down on people so much. When He Qing and I were shopping in a boutique, we saw a piece of clothing. We originally wanted the other party to give it to us.
We picked up a suitable model, but after the other party found out that we were Chinese, they told us very proudly that if they tried it, they had to buy it, making it seem like we couldn’t afford it!”
Today's tycoon dads in China have not yet shopped all over the world, nor have they done the feat of closing down stores on the Champs Elysées to buy things. Now the impression of China in the entire Western world still remains on negative evaluations such as backwardness and poverty.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "What do I think it is? Isn't it just this kind of thing? I will help you out tomorrow!"
In fact, Wu Jianye does not need to come forward for this kind of thing. However, when he visited the Louvre today, Wu Jianye was in a bad mood for some reason. In addition, He Qing and Chen Hong were brought out by themselves. Now
After being wronged, Wu Jianye needed another opportunity to vent.
When everything comes together, someone is going to be unlucky!
When Chen Hong heard that Wu Jianye wanted to vent his anger on them, he immediately said happily: "That's great!"
He Qing came to the side and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't bother me!"
Chen Hong said dissatisfiedly: "Qingqing, what's the trouble? You just have a great personality. When I was there today, if you hadn't pulled me along, I would have wanted to get in trouble with that waiter."
He Qing said: "After all, this is not our place. It's better to do less than to do more!"
Chen Hong was a little helpless at He Qing's temper: "You!"
Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll take you to have a good meal tonight. I'll get rid of half of your anger first, and then I'll get rid of all your anger tomorrow!"
Hearing what Wu Jianye said, they stopped talking. Chen Hong originally wanted to go over and hold Wu Jianye's arm, but when she saw Zhou Huimin next to him, she had to give up.
A night without words!
On the next day, Wu Jianye took the three of them to the Champs Elysées.
The Champs Elysées is a world-famous commercial street where you can see all the world's top luxury flagship stores.
In fact, this is also the entry ticket for top luxury goods. Only by having its own flagship store here can we say that we are the top luxury goods in the world.
Nishang has always wanted to enter here, but so far she has not succeeded.
After the four people got out of the car, under the leadership of Chen Hong, they arrived at the boutique where Chen Hong and He Qing encountered problems yesterday.
"right here!"
At this time, Chen Hong was like a child who had been wronged outside and asked his parents to come forward.
"Welcome!" Men Ying said politely.
The four people walked in, and each piece of clothing was placed on the stage like a piece of art. There was absolutely no clothing of the same style to be seen here.
"Hello, sir, madam, may I help you?" The waiter in the store also came over with a professional smile on his face.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It's okay, we just took a look!"
A slight smile flashed in the waiter's eyes, but he still said dutifully: "Okay, please take your time to enjoy it. If you need anything, we will try our best to meet your request!"
Seeing the waiter's diligent performance, Zhou Huimin was a little surprised. It didn't look like what Chen Hong said.
Wu Jianye smiled, said nothing, and took them to look at the clothes. When his eyes stopped on a certain piece of clothing, the waiter would immediately tell Wu Jianye that the dress was designed by that designer.
, what position does it occupy in their brand?
But every time after the introduction, I would never forget to tell Wu Jianye how expensive this dress is!
"This windbreaker is from our brand's top designer Ms. Shala. It is the main style of our brand this year. This windbreaker is purely handmade... The price of this windbreaker is US$59,999. In fact, this gentleman
, I suggest you check out another windbreaker with a similar style to this one, that windbreaker only costs $9,999!”
The waiter still had a smile on his face.
Wu Jianye also had a smile of his own, and when he was about to take a look at the feel of this windbreaker, the waiter suddenly said: "Sir, I'm very sorry, because this windbreaker is a very precious piece of clothing in our store. If you
If you don’t really want to buy it, please don’t touch this dress!”
Wu Jianye still kept his smile, took out a black card from his pocket, and said with a smile: "Help me pack it!"
At this time, the professional smile on the waiter's face turned into a real bright smile, and he said quickly: "Okay, sir, I will hug you right away!"
Although passbooks are still commonly used in China, credit cards have become popular abroad, and black cards like the one Wu Jianye is taking out now are even more of a status symbol.
The waiters at the boutiques on the Champs Elysées know this black card best.
In fact, when Wu Jianye and others first came in, the waiter recognized He Qing and Chen Hong, but because of their professionalism, she did not show disdain, but she must have been dissatisfied.
But now everything disappears in front of this black card!
After saying that, the waiter picked up the windbreaker and wanted to pack it for Wu Jianye.
At this time, Wu Jianye glanced at the waiter and said with a smile: "Forget it, I don't like the clothes I'm interested in being touched, so I won't sell them!"
