Di
The fat assistant held his work computer and looked at the numbers on the elevator display screen. He jumped silently and quickly. He huddled in the corner of the spacious VIP elevator, as if he was terrified. A husky that strays into wolf territory.
Even though he had just joined the job not too long ago, he still knew that he should be involved in the legendary political struggle in the workplace.
Although Osborne is the general person in charge of the Little Prince project, such a super-high-level management leader and the fat assistant have never had the honor to have any communication with the president. I haven't even seen him a few times.
As the vice president of the European region of the group, which mainly handles this kind of physical publishing business, the other party has a lot of things to do every day, and most of them just put his name in various large projects as usual.
It is very unconventional to submit the illustrator's sample draft directly to the president, bypassing the review of the art department.
Even, strictly speaking, it violated many regulations of the group's internal support department.
The supervisor obviously knew this.
Otherwise, just send an internal email directly to the company, and send someone upstairs with a computer, just because you don’t want to leave traces in the internal system.
The fat assistant’s nervous forehead was sweating, and his small eyes were staring at the elevator door in front of him, for fear of being caught by someone when he stopped suddenly.
He knows that in accordance with the principles and regulations, he should justly refuse the supervisor's request, and he can write a letter to the internal support department to report that his boss is at risk of disciplinary violations.
However
The fat assistant is no longer a ignorant young college student in the ivory tower.
Violating the regulations of the back office department may result in salary deductions, dismissal, and loss of jobs, but the supervisor is his immediate superior.
If you are fired, you may still have a chance to receive compensation. If you offend your boss or supervisor, even if you keep your job, you may still live in a life worse than death.
The working dogs at the bottom are so humble.
While the fat assistant was worried, the elevator finally stopped on the 41st floor.
"Sit down."
Osborne looked up at the fat assistant who was looking around in the luxurious office like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and pointed to the sofa.
"How's the sample painting going?"
He asked in a deep voice.
I had already heard the secretary explain the purpose of the visit, and the online illustrator named Detective Cat submitted a sample draft.
Osborne did hint to the supervisor in advance.
If the detective cat drawing is really good, inform yourself in advance.
The review by the art department is very difficult.
After all, this is Anna’s first time calling in person to ask for a visit. If Detective Cat really performs well, Osborne still wants to do this well to repay the favor. .
On the other hand, if the other person’s painting is too muddy to hold up on the wall, inform yourself in advance.
Osborne just called the contract back, so as not to embarrass the art department again.
He also gave the opportunity, and he was extremely kind and righteous.
If you don’t have the ability, you can’t blame others.
He actually felt that based on the reputation of the Elena family, the quality of the painter recommended should not be too bad. The problem was that the painting style of knife painting sounded too uneasy.
There are very few people who practice well, but liars who draw poorly are everywhere.
Horizontal garbage is a high probability event.
At this time, seeing that his subordinate really sent someone to find him, Osborne's instinctive reaction was to sink.
"Uh, I, I, I don't know, she should be quite beautiful, I can't tell you the specifics," the fat assistant stammered in response.
The last time he saw the president was at the group's annual report meeting. At this time, talking to the big boss face to face, he was so nervous that he couldn't even finish his words.
Osborne shook his head and laughed dumbly, thinking to himself what he wanted to do after asking a little assistant for advice.
Knife painting is inherently deceptive to ordinary people. It may seem a bit bluffing to a layman at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more bizarre it becomes.
The other party’s statement is not accurate.
However, for illustrations, if they make people feel beautiful at first glance, it shouldn’t be too bad.
He lowered his head and opened the fat assistant's computer.
"Not to mention, it's really beautiful."
The first time Osborne saw the picture on the notebook, this idea popped into his mind.
He studied visual arts at an orthodox academy of fine arts. He was once a classmate of Anna's aunt. Even though he later switched to studying business, his foundation in fine arts remained.
After working at schostic for so many years, he has collaborated with countless top artists and high-end illustrators.
In terms of vision alone, Osborne is not inferior to some veteran illustrators in the art department of the group.
He easily discovered that
The quality of this painting is absolutely online, and it is not as simple as online.
The appeal of this kind of picture is no lower than that of some famous illustrations he has seen.
The color combination is gorgeous and restrained, and the brush strokes of the oil painting knife are exquisite and delicate.
“This level, this line”
Osborne was amazed.
"No wonder Anna can call me personally to beg me. The Elena family's vision is indeed not bad." The president nodded slightly.
Osborne regretted a little because his attitude towards Anna was a little too rough.
He originally faced Anna's request more with the intention of returning favors.
At this time, the president looked at the illustrations on the computer, and his mentality changed slightly.
Interesting.
Only thisOne illustration of Detective Cat instantly killed most of the illustrators in the art department.
Although the group has never been short of opportunities to cooperate with outstanding illustrators, this is an outstanding illustrator who was invited to cooperate under the instruction of Osborne himself. The meaning is still different.
In other words,
This detective cat is his person.
The art department is the art department of the art director. No matter how good the results are, it has no direct relationship with Osborne.
Director Charlie once said that Osborne would be responsible for whatever trouble Detective Cat made. In the same way, if the other party performs well, it is also because of his own discernment.
I used to think that Miss Anna had brought a trouble.
Unexpectedly, he found a treasure.
He originally planned that if Detective Cat performed well, he would discuss with Director Charlie that Detective Cat and Wehrlein Studio would each be responsible for half of the illustrations, and the illustrations related to the main story characters would go to Wehrlein Studio. The winner gets a share, and Detective Cat buys out the works per piece at a suitable price.
Director Charlie may be able to accept this.
However, the level of Detective Cat is unexpectedly high.
"Perhaps, this may not be an opportunity."
After pondering for a moment, Osborne had a new idea in his mind.
He picked up the intercom and informed his secretary, "Forget it, let Schubert, the deputy director of the art department, come. I'd better go to his office in person."
He looked at The fat assistant, who still looked worried, had a kind smile on his face.
"Don't be nervous, come with me."
Osborne snapped his fingers.
The deputy art director is a very strange position.
Theoretically, in the group's huge art department, it should be a senior management leader with one person under one person and more than ten thousand people.
But things often go bad because of this "under one person".
Art is overbearing.
Just like there is always only one Galeries Lafayette at Chanel, the entire art department often has only one voice.
It is common for art directors of large groups to work until they are seventy or eighty years old.
There can only be one lion king in a lion group. For a lion king, there is no such word as retirement.
Among wild animals, retired lion kings are often killed or expelled by new lions.
The departing art director will either be transferred to an unpopular position and spend his days in boredom, or else he will jump to another company and start over.
The deputy director,
often in the eyes of the director, is the strong lion most likely to replace his position.
Therefore,
Their daily embarrassing situation is understandable.
Schostic Group’s deputy director of European art department, Schubert, lives an awkward life every day.
He is actually older thanCharlie is even older and has worked in the group for more than thirty years. He is the only one of the three deputy directors who was not promoted by Charlie as a close associate.
Not to mention that the income is not comparable to Charlie, even the direct generals at the supervisor level promoted by the other party earn more than him.
It is even more difficult to think of touching some daily work projects that involve oil and water.
Some people can't stand such a depressing and hopeless job, so they change jobs.
Some people have their edges smoothed away and become Buddhist-like.
Schubert is the latter.
So today, when he was bored in his office as usual, chewing apples and playing darts, he saw President Osborne pushing in the door with a fat man. .
His first reaction was even to worry about causing criticism.
"Uh, what's the matter?"
"It's about work."
Schubert hurried to the door of the office, he hesitated for several seconds.
He heard about the conflict between Osborne and Charlie, and wondered whether he should leave the door open at this time to show magnanimity.
"I heard that your cooperation with Director Charlie was not pleasant." Osborne asked playfully, looking at half an apple and a pair of darts on the table.
When Schubert heard this, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
He closed the door with a "bang" and lowered his voice and whispered, "Osborne, no matter what the issue is between you and Mr. Director, this is your personal issue. I'm sorry that I really can't do anything about it." ."
Osborne frowned inwardly as he looked at Schubert's expression of "Don't hurt me" and "Please let me go."
This is too cowardly.
However, with a strong leader like Charlie, those who are not timid will have long been squeezed out.
"You are a professional, please help me see a piece of work."
Osborne pretended not to hear Schubert's words and asked the fat assistant to open the computer and bring up Detective Cat Illustration sample.
"Please don't"
Schubert was in a dilemma.
Although he was afraid of Director Charlie, he was too embarrassed to chase him away. The vice president of the group was something he couldn't afford to offend.
He could only mutter in a low voice, "I can't make a decision when it comes to reviewing the manuscript, so you'd better ask me."
Schubert was stunned for a moment.
He thought that Osborne asked him to review the manuscript of the Internet illustrator who caused controversy with Director Charlie, but this painting
“This painting is from Brooke Art "The work of Professor Boggs of the Academy"
"How to say" Osborne raised his eyebrows.
"There are not many masters of knife painting who can handle the details so well."
Seeing that he was not here to review the manuscript, Schubert relaxed. Many "This level is really amazing. He is worthy of being a professor who has been playing with oil painting knives for half his life. Look at the texture lines here. There are no irregular burrs at all. It's reallyis outstanding. "
"It's so good" Osborne was very interested.
His main job is a businessman, and he can tell that this illustrator is very good at drawing.
But Osborne is not as clear as a professional art director about how outstanding he is in the art of knife painting.
“It’s very good. I once went to the United States. I have seen Professor Boggs's painting exhibition, and this work can be regarded as an absolute masterpiece in the exhibition. ”
To be the deputy art director of a tens-billion-dollar group, although Schubert has a very timid personality, his professional level is still quite online.
Even the unpopular subject matter of painting with knives No stranger.
“Professor Boggs’s works are mainly paintings of snow scenes and natural scenery. Such works with fantasy themes are rare. "
An expert knows the way.
Schubert looked at this painting with some obsession. "The whole picture looks very clean. Look at the color and geometric shapes here. It is very well integrated with the composition of the picture, and the paint presents a playful and childlike expression."
"You are here to ask me for investment advice, right? ”
Schubert spent about five minutes admiring this painting up and down.
He raised his head again, thinking that he had deduced Austrian meaning. The purpose of President Siben’s visit.
“Professor Boggs is the first person in the field of knife painting. Compared with the famous artists of traditional oil paintings, his works are actually not expensive, about 50,000 to 25,000. Ranging from ten thousand dollars. ”
“The only drawback of this painting is that the size of the picture is not large enough, but it is indeed a rare masterpiece and can be obtained within 200,000 US dollars. ”
Schubert expressed his own appraisal opinion, “However, the specific price of art transactions is uncertain. It is best to see the actual object and check the preservation condition before paying. "
Osborne shook his head.
"Can't take it."
Schubert hesitated. "If you want to hold it for a long time, $300,000." It can also be said that the more fine a painting is, the more room it has for appreciation. ”
“No, this is not Professor Boggs’ painting. ”
“Whose is Kwiesler from the Lisson Gallery or the Brazilian painter Philippe? It’s not worth so much money, it’s a pity”
Schubert shakes Shaking his head.
The value of a piece of art depends not only on the level of painting, but also on the reputation of the artist.
Professor Boggs is currently recognized as the first person to paint with a knife. , the prices of the works of other knife painting masters are much lower than his.
Unfortunately
“If you don’t want to buy it, you can introduce the seller to me. "Schubert raised his head, feeling a little moved.
Then again, no matter which master's work it is, this painting is still very good.
If the other party hadn't If God's help is short-lived, I will keep painting at this level. After a few years or more, I will encounter someone who is hyping the popularity again., it’s hard to say that he can compete with Professor Boggs for the top spot as the best painter.
