The mayor of Yangon himself needs to treat Chen Shenglin as a distinguished guest. Real rich people don't care about a little money.
Mr. Chen just said he wanted the middle school student’s painting, but did not say the price.
If you think about it with your buttocks, you know that the price is less than that of an ordinary car, and even the police inspector feels shabby for Mr. Chen.
What’s even more rare is that
Mr. Chen actually gave the other party his personal business card.
Even if he wants to contact the other party, he can only call the other party's secretary's mobile phone.
Kou Kou’s father is amazed at this little guy’s good luck.
That’s not a nice thing to say.
If Mr. Chen doesn’t mean to give money, then he really cares about the other party.
Favor is a gift more valuable than money. If you can hook up with a wealthy businessman with a painting, even the painters who rank at the top of the list of East Asian richest artists will happily agree.
"Sorry, I can't guarantee you for the time being. I have very important arrangements for this painting." Gu Weijing pondered for a moment.
"Ignorant" the secretary frowned.
He knows that his boss looks elegant and easy-going, but in fact he never likes the feeling of being rejected. Mr. Chen has always been the only one who denies other people's requests.
The olive branch is extended to you to give you face.
It’s okay to be aloof, but when faced with such a good opportunity, it seems very shameless to reject it without knowing it.
"Why, you don't want to sell"
Chen Shenglin was also stunned for a moment.
The collector stared into the young man's eyes, judging whether the other person was being pretentious and trying to boost his worth.
It would be very disappointing if this were the case.
This is a common trick used by street vendors selling handicrafts, who want to play in front of a business giant like himself. It's really a bit unscrupulous, and the key point is very stupid.
Besides,
Chen Shenglin had the idea of buying a painting just because he admired this young man.
In Gu Weijing, he felt that he saw the shadow of a very pure artist.
He likes this painting, but he doesn’t have to buy it.
No matter how good the works of middle school students are, they are nothing compared to the famous paintings worth tens of millions of dollars in his collection
Chen Shenglin was a little unhappy.
He originally wanted to walk away, but Chen Shenglin found that the other party's eyes seemed to be very clear, without any philistine or greed.
"This painting is really important to you. Give me a reason." He asked patiently.
"Mr. Chen, I'm honored that you like this painting, but this is the work I plan to use for the art exhibition." Gu Weijing looked at the draft on the easel, his tone was apologetic and sincere, " Therefore, it is not convenient to sell it for the time being, at least not in the near future.”
Most art exhibitions require that.Painters own the ownership of their submitted works before participating in the exhibition.
Traditional art exhibitions have the function of selling paintings for artists and organizers, and there are even small auctions directly interspersed with the exhibition schedule.
Your paintings have been booked in advance, what else can I sell?
Of course, high-profile international art exhibitions are more cold-blooded and are not willing to be linked to money.
But there are also relevant restrictions.
And after the exhibition, the participating works, especially the award-winning ones, may have a special exhibition period, and may be displayed in local art galleries in the city for a few months or half a year.
In short,
It is really inconvenient for him to promise the works in the art exhibition to someone.
"Art Exhibition" Chen Shenglin looked at Gu Weijing for a moment and said, "There are no important art exhibitions in Myanmar recently."
"It is the Singapore International Art Biennale in the second half of the year."< /p>
Most of the people watching showed no expressions.
I am not a professional painting enthusiast or collector, so I have no specific concept of this kind of international art exhibition.
When they heard that Gu Weijing wanted to participate in the art exhibition, many people even looked disapproving.
Stupid.
It would be better if you choose another piece of work to exhibit.
After the oil painting is sold, it can be painted again. This opportunity to please the rich may only come once in a lifetime.
On the other hand, the knowledgeable Chen Shenglin was a little awe-struck.
“The student group of this year’s Lion City Art Exhibition is indeed of this level. Over the years in Southeast Asia, including neighboring countries, there may not be a total of young students who can participate in the student group of foreign art biennales. Ten people."
"It is the master group. I have submitted the registration form to the organizing committee. My goal is to win the prize."
"Well, I am really ambitious."
p>Hearing what Gu Weijing said, Mr. Chen stared at the draft for a moment and sighed, "I'm presumptuous in saying so."
"Why is this art exhibition so powerful?" Kou Kou's Dad was surprised.
“The International Art Biennale has always been the cradle of great artists, and works of well-known artists can win awards in the master category. Even if there is no capital hype, it should not be difficult to sell them for as little as $100,000. ."
"One hundred thousand US dollars"
This is the salary of Myanmar's working class for more than ten years.
One painting costs 100,000 US dollars. If you only paint one painting per month, it will cost millions of US dollars a year.
The police officer raised his eyebrows, looked at his daughter’s middle school classmate, and said in disbelief, “It’s up to him.”
“It’s really difficult, just like the carp leaping over the dragon’s gate. At present, The youngest artist to win an award at an international mainstream art biennale is probably Tang Ning, a close disciple of Mr. Cao Xuan, who will also be a future figurehead in Chinese painting art. She won the gold medal at the Shanghai Art Exhibition that year. "< /p>
Chen Shenglin is very familiar with the art auction market and casually introduced"Just over ten years later, during Ms. Tang Ning's spring auction in Hong Kong this year, the media predicts that the total auction turnover will be around 250 million to 300 million Hong Kong dollars. He should be younger than Tang Ning at that time."
“It’s just not possible.”
After hearing Mr. Chen’s introduction about the difficulty of the Lion City Art Exhibition, Kou Kou’s father curled his lips and said, who can’t do that?
“Who can say for sure about art?” Mr. Chen disagreed with the inspector’s statement.
"Since you want to keep this painting for the art exhibition, there is no need to force it. I really like your painting, so please give me a line drawing, which combines sketching and line drawing. The technique is really impressive." The collector changed his suggestion.
Gu Weijing immediately took out a pen and sketch paper.
Others don’t count. Just talking about Mr. Chen’s guidance and help on the composition of his paintings, asking him to draw a sketch is really nothing.
Practice makes perfect,
It doesn’t take long for Gu Weijing to complete a line drawing sketch now.
Under the smooth tip of his pen, the outline of a middle-aged man gradually appeared.
This is exactly how the other party talked about the thought-provoking concept of "a developed society of 5".
Mr. Chen has a deep face, his eyes are staring into the distance, and five fingers are stretched out from the palm of his right hand.
Erudacious, profound, and gentle.
Like a statue of a philosopher.
Unexpected and reasonable, this sketch once again received a heartfelt evaluation in the systematic evaluation.
Some people have a weak sense of existence. They may have been classmates with the other person for several years, and soon after graduation, they can’t even remember the other person’s name.
Some people have a strong sense of existence and are born with charisma.
It was obviously the first time I met him, but I could not help but be attracted to him.
Chen Shenglin is the latter.
Before today, Gu Weijing had only seen the other party's name in the newspaper. After only a short time together, Mr. Chen left a deep impression on him.
"I heard that one of your paintings costs fifteen dollars and people are reluctant to buy it because it's too expensive." Chen Shenglin pinched his chin and asked funny.
While Gu Weijing was drawing this sketch,
his secretary, who was good at picking up people he liked, found out about Gu Weijing’s "rules" when doing interviews, and told his boss as an interesting story. listen.
"Mr. Chen, just treat it as a joke. Otherwise, everyone would have to draw, which would be too troublesome." Gu Weijing was helpless.
“Fifteen US dollars is indeed expensive by the standards of street painters in tourist attractions in Yangon.” Mr. Chen said with a smile.
“I am a little money-lover, I usually earn a lot of pocket money.” Koko’s father responded and joked at the right time, applauding the entrepreneur.
"But based on the level of this painting"
Chen Shenglin changed his tone and paused, "Oh, I won't mention the money."
“You draw very carefully, this kind of divine work can be encountered but not obtained. For fifteen dollars, I ruined the work and couldn't part with it. "He shook his head.
"Well, I'll make you a promise. Studying art in Myanmar is expensive and not easy. I've given you the business card, young man. If you need financial assistance or other help, just call the number above. "
Chen Shenglin's tone did not sound like he was joking.
"Of course, the right to interpret this promise belongs to me, provided that it is something that I am capable of and willing to do. " He said lightly.
There was a continuous gasp of air-conditioning from all around.
When the other party handed Gu Weijing his business card just now, the police inspector was just surprised. Now he has an envious face. All turned green.
“Damn it, how can this guy be so good that Boss Chen can think so highly of him. ”
A sketch actually brought such a promise
Things drawn with gold powder are not so expensive.
A promise from Boss Chen, although the explanation The power belongs to the entrepreneur, but Kou Kou's father guarantees that even if Gu Weijing wants a Ferrari sports car, he won't even bat an eyelid.
Of course, this kind of promise of a Ferrari is obviously an unwise act of lacking emotional intelligence.
Mr. Inspector thought,
He felt that if he was Gu Weijing. , he will either keep this promise, or ask Mr. Chen to sponsor him to study in a prestigious European art school.
All the famous private art schools in Europe are very expensive. >
Including living costs, without international scholarships and study abroad subsidies, studying as a graduate student may not be much cheaper than a Ferrari.
Moreover, this requirement is not excessive and appropriate. With the benefits, you can leave a good impression and maintain a good personal relationship with Mr. Chen for a long time.
It is a pity that such a promise falls into the hands of a middle school student.
< p>It may be that the entrepreneur made such a promise because the other party was a middle school student.“If I had this opportunity and asked Mr. Chen to help me advance further in the police system, he would. Promise or"
Thinking of all kinds of possibilities in my mind.
Dad Kou Kou’s belly trembled under his police uniform, and he kept taking deep breaths to let himself Don’t cry out in jealousy
“If that’s the case. I'm really stuck on one thing and I'm hoping you can help me. "Gu Weijing thought for a moment and said immediately.
Too impatient.
The secretary shook his head quietly in his heart.
Who is the boss? Since he If I promise you, I will stick to my word and never regret it.
A more mature approach should be to make this call again in a few days and make your request politely.
p>
Mr. Chen just promised his request, and you can’t wait to get involved., the eating appearance is more or less a bit anxious and ugly.
The secretary can also understand.
After all, he is a middle school student. It is normal to be anxious when he suddenly gets such a benefit.
Among these people here, there are many who can get the boss's promise, but the performance of this child is worse than that of this child.
"I have always pretended to be tepid and calm. I really thought you could be calm and calm."
The secretary was amused in her heart.
"Oh young man, what do you need me to help you with?" Chen Shenglin raised his eyebrows.
"I need a government approval note." Gu Weijing said.
Oh, I really dare to ask for this.
The secretary was surprised at first, and then sneered.
No wonder I had to say it on the spot, fearing that the boss would regret it. It turned out that his ambition was greater than he thought.
"Government approval, does your family run a factory or do real estate?" Chen Shenglin stared at Gu Weijing with burning eyes and slowly shook his head, "Don't treat me like a god, there are some things I can't do. ”
“And young man, you just gave me a pen sketch, you are too greedy to ask for such a big business.”
Chen Shenglin’s expression. Still gentle, but his tone has become colder.
He doesn't like people who push themselves too far.
"I am not greedy and want to ask you for a big deal like a land approval document. What I want is a permit approval document for electrification transformation. There are still no modern facilities here."
Gu Weijing lightly tapped his feet and pointed to the candlesticks placed by the window, "I want the Good Luck Orphanage to be connected to Yangon's urban power grid, but I encountered difficulties and couldn't get approval for the transformation. Permit approval document."
Since the first advance payment of US$36,000 from the Schostic Group was transferred to Gu Weijing's account, there was a truly huge sum of money in his wallet.
If you include the price of the entire contract, the total amount easily exceeds one hundred thousand US dollars.
After you have money, how to spend it becomes a new problem.
Unlike the sporadic income of a few hundred dollars from receiving online orders before, all this money was used to buy daily necessities. On the one hand, it was too much, and on the other hand, it was a pity.
Even using the official exchange rate, this is still 200 million kyats, which is enough to completely modernize the orphanage and provide electricity, running water and other necessary living facilities.
Although Yangon has plenty of sunshine, the entire orphanage uses photovoltaic solar power from top to bottom, which is not stable. The best solution is still to connect to the city power grid.
Gu Weijing originally thought that with money, all problems would be solved.
As a result, as soon as I expressed my intention to reform to the local government over the weekend, I was taught by reality.
The bureaucracy in Yangon is indeed far from clean.
On this Sunday, the female director went to the local electricity bureau. I heard that the orphanage might have money, and various approval departments wouldStart preparing to eat and get cards.
Gu Weijing consulted Dyson on this issue.
Brother Dyson hesitated and said that it was not difficult to do it, but he really didn’t recommend that the other party ask him to do it.
Myanmar is not Schonbrunn’s traditional business scope and it only has one office in Yangon.
He has high-level connections, but this matter is neither small nor big.
Just having a meal with a deputy mayor in Yangon who is in charge of this aspect is not a hidden cost, it is just some direct expenses. It may be more demanding than a small leader of the Electricity Bureau asking for bribes. More.
Dyson calculated it and quoted a price of US$30,000.
He said that this was the cost price given because Gu Weijing was a customer. If Gu Weijing was willing to pay the money, Dyson could quickly help him complete all the procedures.
Even if he bulldozes the orphanage, no one will care.
Gu Weijing was very hesitant.
First of all, he is not sure whether bribery political donations count as "necessary charitable expenditures" in systematic statistics.
Even if you calculate it, this matter is really disgusting. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
