Qin Xuerong, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue and others were not unfamiliar with Reid.
When Wang Qian was lecturing at the Curtis Institute, Red took the initiative to talk to Wang Qian. Red was a world-class antique dealer with a great reputation in the industry. Later, when he was lecturing at the Juilliard School, Red found Wang Qian again. His purpose was self-evident: he wanted to purchase Wang Qian's authentic works.
Lei De came up and smiled at Qin Xuerong and the others, and said politely: "Wow, beautiful girls, you must be careful, what you are holding may be one of the most precious collections in the world."
After hearing his words, Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, and Juliet indeed slowed down their movements.
Qin Xuerong asked: "Mr. Lei De, do you have something to do with us?"
Lei De looked at Qin Xuerong, then at He Chaohui: "Excuse me, who is the leader of the college here? I have a deal that I want to discuss with the leader of the college who can make the decision."
He Chaohui stepped forward and said, "Hello, I am one of the persons in charge here. He Chaohui, what can I do for you?"
In front of several people who knew his identity, Red did not hide anything and said directly: "Hello, my name is Red, you may know me. I am an antique dealer from New York. I am very familiar with Director Li of your National Museum. I have helped him several times and helped him successfully bring back several Chinese cultural relics. I would like to purchase a few items."
He Chaohui stepped forward and shook hands with Reid, saying noncommittally: "Oh? Really? Then you should go find Director Li. We are a conservatory of music, there is nothing worthy of your attention here."
Reid smiled and said, "No, Ms. He, there are very precious things here. These blackboards in their hands are unique treasures in the world. Ms. He, I like Professor Wang's music and art works very much. I have liked music and art since I was a child, so I really want to collect these blackboards written by Professor Wang."
"I hope you can help me. As for the price, as long as you ask, I will never bargain."
Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue and Juliet were not at all surprised when they heard what Reid said. They knew that Reid was coming for these blackboards.
Aisha looked at He Chaohui nervously. She hoped that she would succeed, and then she would get a very precious collection. She herself was a lover of classical music and art, and naturally wanted to collect a piece of Wang Qian's work, the only music master of the new era.
He Chaohui looked at Reid carefully. She was definitely not willing to sell the blackboards written by Wang Qian. This was not something she could decide. Even the top leaders of the college did not have the qualifications or courage to make the decision.
However, she hesitated for a moment, wondering how much these blackboards of Wang Qian were worth in the eyes of antique dealers.
And she hesitated!
Others thought that they could really talk.
Diana, who had been watching the show, didn't want Wang Qian's work to be bought by Red, so she immediately said, "Director He, if the college is willing to sell it, no matter how much Red offers, I will pay five million dollars more than him! I am very sincere and hope to collect Professor Wang's work."
At the same time, Sophie also whispered: "Director He, I have a total of more than 530 million US dollars in my account now. If you are willing to sell, I can give you all the money in my account!"
hiss!
Everyone stared at Sophie with wide eyes at the same time, and several people couldn't help but gasp, making the temperature around them rise a little bit.
Everyone was stunned by the number Sophie said.
More than 530 million US dollars
Just to buy the blackboard with Wang Qian’s preaching works written on it
The manuscript of the sermon by Gamphis, the greatest music master in Europe hundreds of years ago, is not worth this price even now.
Red and Elsa were both startled and looked at Sophie with wide eyes, wanting to see if she was joking. But looking at Sophie's serious attitude, it was obvious that she was not joking and was really willing to pay 530 million US dollars for it.
Moreover, they recognized Sophie and knew that she was definitely not lying and really had so much money.
After all, the sales of Sophie's works during the World Championship are obvious to all. Her net worth is definitely over 10 billion US dollars, so it is not difficult for her to come up with more than 500 million US dollars.
Diana, who really wanted to collect Wang Qian's works, also frowned and stared at Sophie with wide eyes. She asked herself if she could afford so much money to buy Wang Qian's works. Even if she had so much money, she would not use it to buy all of Wang Qian's works because she still had to plan for the future.
Only Sophie has already thought about retiring. She just wants to work and study at Moyin in peace, live near Wang Qian, meet with Wang Qian often, and study music art on her own. This is her plan for the second half of her life. So no matter how much money she has, it is meaningless to her. It doesn't matter even if she spends all the money. As long as she can get Wang Qian's works in return, she is willing!
Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong and others looked at Sophie with strange eyes, wondering what this beautiful French artistic girl was thinking.
He Chaohui was surprised but quickly calmed down. He knew that everyone had misunderstood him. He immediately said without hesitation, "I'm sorry, everyone. We will not sell any of Professor Wang's original works. No matter how much money you offer, there is no room for negotiation. We will build a museum of Professor Wang's personal belongings to display all the items he left in our college."
"So, you don't have to talk to me about this."
Red and Aisha were a little disappointed, but then they looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They were crushed before they even said the price, so they were a little relieved in their hearts that the other party had no chance of selling it.
Otherwise, if they really sell it, they really can't compete with Diana and Sophie, especially Sophie, they are really powerless.
Others just come in and spend all their assets, hundreds of millions of dollars, how can they compete
Of course they could also come up with a few hundred million dollars, but it was impossible for them to spend more than 500 million dollars just to buy a few blackboards from Wang Qian!
Not to mention that Wang Qian's works cannot be worth so much now. Even if they are really worth the money, they cannot put all their funds into a collection that cannot be sold in a short period of time. This will greatly limit their development in the future for a long time.
Their original budget was between 20 and 50 million US dollars, which was an absolutely sky-high price in the market.
However, compared with Sophie's total net worth of $500 million, it is nothing.
Not to mention, Diana generously announced that no matter how much they bid, it would be $5 million higher than theirs...
They all knew Diana's identity and knew that behind her was a senior North American financial group whose strength and financial resources were greater than those of their two families. They knew that Diana had the qualifications and strength to say so.
Reid immediately said, "Okay, Ms. He, we are rude. Goodbye!"
Aisha also smiled apologetically, and then the two of them said goodbye and turned to leave, heading towards the entrance of the venue.
Diana and Sophie both showed a hint of disappointment at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled, but they could see a hint of unwillingness to admit defeat in each other's eyes.
When it comes to paying tribute to Wang Qian, they don't want to lose to others!
They are all willing to give everything for Wang Qian.
Qin Xuehong, Qin Xuerong and others followed He Chaohui to put the blackboards into a storage room that had been prepared in advance. They would put them all together after today's classes were over.
Qin Xuerong and Qin Xuehong both looked a little serious, and both felt a little pressured, which came from Sophie and Diana.
Coming back again, He Chaohui looked at Sophie who was standing there quietly watching Wang Qian on the stage, and said, "Sophie, if you are willing to come to the Central Conservatory of Music, I can make the decision. Among the works written by Professor Wang today, you can choose the complete score of any work as your private collection. Moreover, you can borrow Professor Wang's other works at any time."
Seeing how much Sophie valued and was obsessed with Wang Qian's works, He Chaohui saw an opportunity, so he couldn't help but wield his hoe towards Sophie, wanting to recruit Sophie to CAFA to increase the strength and future potential of CAFA.
If in the future CAFA has several world-class music and art masters, plus Wang Qian, the only music giant, then CAFA will inevitably become one of the top ten music and art schools in the world.
Sophie smiled at He Chaohui, thought about it for a moment, and felt a little moved.
She really wanted to collect some items that had special meaning to Wang Qian, which would have even more important meaning to her.
However, she thought that the Magic City was Wang Qian's hometown, and Wang Qian had already settled in the Magic City, and it was impossible for him to settle in Beijing in the future. She came to China specifically to live with Wang Qian, so it was naturally impossible for her to come to Beijing alone.
So, after thinking for a second, Sophie shook her head and refused: "Sorry, Director He, I haven't thought about leaving Moyin for the time being. Modu is a good place for me to live."
He Chaohui felt a little regretful: "Okay, then I won't say anything. I wish you a smooth development in Magic Music. I hope you can come to the Central Conservatory of Music for music academic exchanges frequently if you have the opportunity in the future."
Since we can't poach people, let's communicate more and make progress together.
Sophie smiled: "Okay, if there is a chance, I will come."
After a few brief exchanges and the handling of the matter here, the applause inside gradually subsided.
He Chaohui gave some instructions to Qin Xuerong, Jiang Yu and others again, then turned around and walked back to the audience seats.
Just now, the applause lasted for several minutes, and it just stopped now, and everyone just sat down.
With a smile on his face, Wang Qian turned around and was about to write the score of another nocturne series and then perform it, so that he could quickly finish the series.
But…
Today, there are hundreds of top music artists from all over the world, as well as other less famous music artists, senior musicians, young talents, etc., totaling thousands of people, almost gathering the essence of the world's music and art field today.
Those who can become the top group in a field naturally have their own unique ideas and persistence.
so!
When Wang Qian was about to start the second nocturne, someone at the scene couldn't help but raise his hand, obviously wanting to seize this opportunity to have a few words with Wang Qian.
In other words, he wanted to create some obstacles for Wang Qian's path to enlightenment.
However, only dozens of people raised their hands, and most of them were sitting in the front row. They were qualified to be called masters of musical art.
On this occasion today, many celebrities and wealthy people who are not in the field of music and art, as well as star pop singers, etc., consciously did not raise their hands to participate.
Everyone looked at the dozens of people who raised their hands. At first glance, they were basically masters in the field of music and art that most people knew.
He Chaohui and other teachers and students from the Central Conservatory of Music looked over and frowned slightly. Although they were displeased that these people interrupted Wang Qian's lecture, they were not too surprised or disgusted, because they had all anticipated this scene.
Wang Qian had even more intense experiences when he taught at Curtis and Juilliard, two of North America's top music schools.
If you want to attain enlightenment, then the path to enlightenment is naturally not easy.
Not only must the work be sufficient to prove one's truth, it must also be able to overwhelm all contemporary peers.
Wang Qian looked curiously at the several Asians who raised their hands. Judging from their clothing and expressions, he guessed that they might be from the island country or South Korea.
Wen Cangjian, Li Xiyan, Lin Xizhan, Xue Zhenguo and others also looked curiously at the figures they knew.
Wen Cangjian sat with Li Xiyan and others, not with the island delegation. He whispered to Li Xiyan, "The man wearing a kimono and raising his hand is Taro Shinno, the vice president of the Tokyo National Conservatory of Music. He graduated from the National Conservatory of Music when he was young, and later went to North America to study. He studied at Curtis, Insman, and Berkeley for one to two years, and has published more than a dozen famous classical works. He has been teaching at the conservatory ever since. He has deep attainments in both classical art and popular music."
"Now many classical music performers and pop singers in our country are his disciples. He and Mingze Jibu are good friends. He may have been influenced by Mingze Jibu and wanted to create some trouble for Professor Wang."
Ken Bunkura briefly introduced the identity of the old man from the island country who raised his hand.
Li Xiyan frowned.
The name of Taro Shinno is very famous in the field of Asian music and art, so he had naturally heard of it.
Several of the songs he composed have a very profound Chinese cultural background and are very famous in China. They have been used in many film and television dramas. He is known as one of the musicians who understands Chinese culture best.
Taro Shinno has publicly stated more than once that he is the inheritor of China's classical music culture.
From a purely musical art perspective, Li Xiyan also admitted that Taro Shinno is a veritable master of musical art, especially the several songs he composed that used a lot of Chinese folk music, which are very embodying Chinese cultural characteristics and heritage, and are very comfortable to listen to.
However, Li Xiyan didn't like him very much.
Wen Cangjian looked at another old man wearing Korean clothes and said, "That's Choi Chenggong from Korea, the only Korean music master recognized internationally."
