Lu Shanmin looked back and saw that it was the painter named Ying Tian.
He is still wearing a suit, but the difference is that it was a gray suit last time and a black suit this time. His tie is also black, and he still has the peculiar tree-shaped tie clip on it. He really doesn't look like a painter.
Ying Tian walked towards the three of them slowly, smiled and nodded like Sheng Tian and Hai Dongqing.
Lu Shanmin was not familiar with him, so he naturally did not introduce Hai Dongqing and Sheng Tian to him.
"What's wrong with Mr. Ying?"
Ying Tian politely handed over an invitation letter and said: "I have a painting exhibition at Yuntai Convention and Exhibition Center this Saturday. I hope Mr. Lu can come and support me."
Lu Shanmin smiled and thought that this was indeed a painter who pursued life and profit. No wonder he appeared at Xue Liang's funeral today. He probably extended invitations to many people who came today. He said: "Thank you, Mr. Ying, for looking up to me."
, but I am a layman and know nothing about art, so I am afraid I will disappoint you."
When he said this, he was actually politely declining. However, he didn’t know whether Ying Tian didn’t understand or deliberately pretended not to understand. He continued to say with a smile: “Mr. Lu is too humble. I saw that the elegiac couplet you just sent is very precise.
The Gou Yin paintings are fierce and powerful, clearly injecting soul and spirit into the words. This is the handiwork of everyone, and it is not something that ordinary calligraphers can compare to. Since ancient times, calligraphy and painting have not been divided into different families. How can someone who can write such words not understand art?
”.
Lu Shanmin frowned, "How are you sure that the words were written by me and not by someone else?"
Ying Tian smiled faintly, "The elegiac couplets I sent today, no matter how good or bad the calligraphy is, are full of solemnity and sadness. Only your calligraphy is full of murderous intent. Although I am not a shopping mall person, I still make a lot of friends on weekdays."
, I know to some extent that you and the Xue family are not at odds with each other. Based on this inference, I guess that the words were probably written by your own hand."
After listening to Yingtian's analysis, Lu Shanmin couldn't help but take a high look at the painter.
"Okay, if I'm free then, I will definitely come and support you."
Ying Tian thanked them and looked at Hai Dongqing and Sheng Tian, "If this young lady and this old gentleman are interested, they might as well join in the support."
Sheng Tian stared at Ying Tian indifferently. Apart from the fact that Ying Tian was dressed younger, the two of them should be about the same age. His title of "old man" was the ultimate compliment. He was also a person who had seen the world.
I have met some artists before, and most of them are a bit arrogant, but this is the first time I have seen an artist like this who lowers himself to compliment others, and is so downright angry.
After the three of them got in the car, Lu Shanmin looked at the invitation and put it in his pocket.
"Today's artists are becoming more and more like businessmen."
Hai Dongqing said calmly: "Those who treat art as a business will not make much better paintings."
Lu Shanmin smiled and said: "Miss Hai also studies art?"
"Any art is the crystallization of thought and spirit. If it is mixed with money and fame, it will put shackles and restrictions on the art. Even if the painting is exactly the same as the photo, you are still just a painter."
Lu Shanmin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Hai Dongqing to have such an opinion. Her statement was similar to that of her grandfather. Grandpa said more than once that if calligraphy does not have a personal soul and spirit, even if it is exactly the same as a copybook, it can only be
It’s just called being able to write.
Seeing that Sheng Tian had been looking down in thought since he got in the car, Lu Shanmin asked, "Uncle Tian, is there something wrong?"
Sheng Tian said slowly: "I have an inexplicable feeling about Ying Tian."
Lu Shanmin frowned slightly. Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with Ying Tian, he was much more cautious now than before. Although Sheng Tian might not be able to beat Hai Dongqing now, he had been in the late Yi Marrow Realm for decades.
, much more experienced than him.
"What does it feel like"?
Sheng Tian shook his head, "I can't tell. Maybe I've been worrying about the East China Sea recently and thought too much."
Hai Dongqing frowned, "It's not that I'm overthinking it, I also have a feeling that I can't explain."
Both of them said that they had an indescribable feeling. Lu Shanmin did not dare to be careless. He must not have the intention to harm others but also have the intention to guard against others. Lu Shanmin first called Chen Jing, who was fond of calligraphy and painting. Chen Jing said that he knew Ying Tian.
He is an impressionist painter or Jiangzhou Art
The professor of the college, who is well-known in Jiangzhou, said that he was different from other painters. He always dressed meticulously in suits and leather shoes like a white-collar worker. People in the circle even gave him the nickname "Office Building", which refers to his
Dress up like office workers in an office building.
Then I called Wu Xiaoning. Wu Xiaoning is in charge of science, education, culture and health. He knows all the slightly famous artists in Jiangzhou. Wu Xiaoning’s statement was similar to Chen Jing’s. He said that he had taught at Jiangzhou Art Institute for more than ten years.
He was a leading figure among Jiangzhou Impressionist painters.
After making two phone calls, the three of them were completely relieved. It seemed that this was indeed an artist who didn't look like an artist.
.........
.........
The next day, a piece of news came that was expected but shocked Lu Shanmin's heart. After burying Xue Liang, the Xue family did not stop at all. They announced a high-profile investment of 80 billion in Jingui Group, becoming the first member of Jingui Group.
Three major shareholders.
Previously, Lu Shanmin asked an actuary to calculate based on the financial statements published by the Xue Group over the years. The Xue family can currently withdraw up to 60 billion in funds. This time, the Xue family plans to go all out.
The three of them were sitting in the living room, and this time even Hai Dongqing showed obvious worry on his face.
Such a situation has been anticipated in advance, but there is no other preparation except psychological preparation. To be precise, there is no way to prepare. This is a conspiracy. What is burned is the red RMB, and the competition is who has more money.
How to prepare.
As soon as this news came out, the stocks of listed companies under Haohan Group and Haitian Group fell all the way, falling by the limit for three consecutive days.
In the previous price war, the Zeng family and the Hai family sold a lot of fixed assets one after another, almost selling out all the marginalized industries and commercial entities. The remaining core industries can no longer be sold, let alone what they will do after the sale.
Is it enough? If the core industries are sold, even if they win, the three companies will actually exist in name only.
Neither Sheng Tian nor Hai Dongqing spoke. Lu Shanmin made the plan to force the Xue family on this road. Both of them looked at him blankly.
Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly. He was just following Zuoqiu's plan. There was no way to deal with it.
Lu Shanmin collected his thoughts and said, "We have no control over the matters over the East China Sea."
Sheng Tian frowned, "Can't you ask your great military advisor what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"
Lu Shanmin shook his head, "He has already said what he wants to say, but it is not unexpected that things have developed to this point. The Xue family has transferred a large amount of funds to the East China Sea, and Jiangzhou is our opportunity. In the past two years, we
Having successfully muddied the waters in Jiangzhou, Hong Yichen
Guang Consulting has attracted many Jiangzhou chaebols as support, and now the Xinzhou Chamber of Commerce established by Chen Jingxin has more and more members. After Liu Yunshen was successfully dragged into the water, the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce has moved even more to our side. Although Xia Zhiqiu is not sure whether he will take action
, but we can still fight."
Hai Dongqing frowned slightly, "We have established his home in Jiangzhou, and they have established our home in Donghai. What else can we do to deal with the Nalan family, and there is still a shadow that we have no clue about yet."
Lu Shanmin frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "This can only be the case now. The East China Sea fights the East China Sea, Jiangzhou fights Jiangzhou, and the rest depends on fate."
