“This painting is amazing!”
At the same time Wang Xin hung up the phone, Wang Yue's excited voice rang out, her eyes almost glued to the glass!
“Incredible!”
Wang Xin's wife looked at the painting with an infatuated look in her eyes, and murmured, "How can there be such a painting in the world..."
Wang Xin didn't say anything.
He and his family stared at the painting, his breathing becoming heavier. The more he looked, the more intoxicated he felt, and the more shocked he felt!
Five hundred thousand a night
He felt that the money was well spent!
No!
Wang Xin even felt like he had made a profit!
As a wealthy man and celebrity in Zhaozhou, Wang Xin has seen many authentic works of so-called masters, and even bought many authentic works of so-called masters to hang in his calligraphy collection to decorate his house.
At a wealthy gathering.
He also always heard people talking about the artistic conception of some master-level calligraphy and painting works.
However, although he agreed with others' comments on the surface, he actually disagreed in his heart. He bought calligraphy and paintings just to show off his culture and didn't want people to think of him as a country bumpkin and nouveau riche with no substance.
But today!
Wang Xin understood for the first time!
It turns out that a painting can really shock people's hearts and convey a mood!
That’s right!
It's the artistic conception.
Wang Xin felt the legendary artistic conception for the first time!
It was an incomparable wonderful shock that fascinated him deeply at first sight.
He seemed to be able to intuitively feel the message conveyed by this painting, and appreciate the majestic spirit of overlooking the world and swallowing up the mountains and rivers...
His mind became open!
A heroic feeling surges in my heart!
This kind of baptism of mind was entirely brought about by this painting. The last time Wang Xin experienced this feeling was when he achieved his first brilliant success in his career!
At this moment he had only one thought:
No matter how much it costs, I must buy this painting and enjoy it as a treasure for myself!
Just at this moment.
The secretary called.
Wang Xin answered the phone immediately and asked impatiently, "What do you mean?"
The secretary said in a strange tone: "The manager said that the hotel's paintings are not for sale..."
Not for sale
Wang Xin's expression immediately became disappointed.
In fact, it is understandable that if he were the hotel owner, he would not be able to sell these paintings, and he would not even be willing to hang these paintings in the hotel suite.
The secretary couldn't help but say, "Boss, if you like painting, we have many masters in Zhaozhou..."
"What use do I have for those paintings? I have them at home!"
Wang Xin directly interrupted the secretary's painting. In his eyes, those paintings were worthless!
The painting in front of him was different. It was different from all the paintings he had seen before!
Wang Xin is sure of his feelings!
He suppressed the regret in his heart and took a deep breath:
"I will stay at this hotel for the next few days. When I come to Qinzhou on business in the future, I can only book this hotel. Don't consider other hotels!"
"clear."
Although the secretary had thousands of questions in her mind, she did not dare to question her boss's decision.
"That's right."
Wang Xin thought for a moment and said, "Director Miao and Director Fang will discuss business with me tomorrow. I'll invite them to come directly to this hotel."
"Let these two come over?"
The secretary hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but remind his boss: "This cooperation is very important to us. Let them take the initiative to come to the hotel to find us. Will these two bosses feel that we are neglecting them?"
"Forget it, I'll call myself."
Wang Xin did not explain to his secretary. It was precisely because this business was very important that he invited people to the hotel directly!
Both of these wealthy people love painting.
Even I, who know nothing about painting, was attracted by the painting in front of me.
Wang Xin didn't think that these two people would not be able to see the vast artistic conception of the painting in his room.
Who says you have to drink wine when doing business
After hanging up the phone.
Wang Xin suddenly heard his daughter's surprised cry: "This painting turned out to be the work of Shadow!"
Wang Xin's wife quickly asked, "Who is Shadow?"
Wang Yue stared at the signature on the painting, which read "Shadow":
"Yingzi is a good friend of Teacher Xianyu. He is best at comics, but he is also very good at Chinese painting. No, judging from this painting, Teacher Yingzi's Chinese painting is more than just good..."
Wang Yue is already a qualified Xianyu fan.
As a native of Zhaozhou, she has a deep understanding of Xianyu's information, including the relationship between the three best friends.
"husband!"
Wang Xin's wife looked at him and said, "Since this painting is not for sale, how about we pay this shadow teacher to paint another one?"
Draw another one
Wang Xin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes became fiery!
A word can wake a dreamer up!
yes!
Since this painting is not for sale, why not just pay the artist to paint another similar work
…
The next day.
Still the Fish Dynasty Hotel.
Wang Xin stood at the door and saw two extended luxury cars appear in front of the hotel one after another.
"Mr. Miao, Mr. Fang, thank you for your hard work."
The two bosses got out of their cars and Wang Xin greeted them with a smile.
Director Fang said indifferently, "Director Wang is indeed unexpected. This is the first time someone has asked me to come to the hotel to discuss business."
His name is Fang Mokan.
A famous wealthy man in Qinzhou.
Director Miao also expressed his dissatisfaction in disguise: "It took me 40 minutes to get here. Director Wang is rich, can he reimburse me for the gas?"
Mr. Miao’s name is Miao Bai.
His status is similar to Fang Mokan's.
Wang Xin seemed not to notice the two's dissatisfaction and made an invitation gesture: "Excuse me, how about following me upstairs first?"
Frowning slightly.
The two looked at each other and said nothing more. They just followed Wang Xin into the hotel.
A few minutes later.
The three of them entered the suite.
Wang Xin's wife and daughter avoided in other rooms.
He led the two of them to the painting of "Eagle Spreading Wings and Swallowing Mountains and Rivers" and said with a smile:
"I have no intention of being disrespectful by inviting you two distinguished guests to my hotel. I am just a humble person, and I know that you two have always been quite knowledgeable about calligraphy and painting. It just so happens that there is a painting in the suite of this hotel that I really like. I would like to ask you two experts to help appreciate it."
This was a formal occasion, and Wang Xin spoke in a very Zhao Zhou style.
Fang Mokan and Miao Bai were stunned for a moment, then laughed inwardly.
Although Wang Xin is from Zhaozhou, he is a well-known nouveau riche in the wealthy circle of Blue Star. He likes to pretend to be cultured, but in fact he has no artistic talent.
What good paintings can such a person see
And it’s a painting placed in a hotel
These thoughts flashed through the two people's minds. They each curled their lips, but did not say much. They just walked casually to Wang Xin's side and looked at the paintings covering the entire wall behind the transparent glass.
result.
Just this one glance.
Miao Bai and Fang Mokan suddenly widened their eyes at the same time, as if they were struck by lightning!
In the picture.
Green mountains are surrounded by ravines;
The waterfall is like the Milky Way hanging in the sky;
An eagle with flapping wings flew in from the clouds. Its sharp eyes were captivating and so lifelike that it seemed as if it was about to break free from the painting!
A master of painting!
The pen and ink are horizontal!
Wang Xin was smiling beside him.
The reactions of the two were completely within his expectations. He had been staring at the painting until midnight last night and could not let it go.
"What does Mr. Miao think of this painting?"
Feeling that the time was almost up, Wang Xin suddenly spoke.
Miao Bai opened his mouth, with a thousand words in his heart, but for a moment he didn't know how to start. However, the shock and love in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what!
"What does Director Fang think?"
Wang Xin looked at Fang Mokan next to him.
Fang Mokan glanced at Miao Bai warily, forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, coughed and said:
"This painting is pretty good, but some parts are too elaborate. But overall, it is still a good work. Fortunately, I am not a picky person. I will buy this painting from the hotel later."
"Director Fang!"
Miao Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a fake smile, "Since this painting is so ordinary, why not let me buy it? I like animals like eagles, and I will basically buy any painting of eagles."
"Miao Dong, don't force yourself..."
"Director Fang is the one who shouldn't force it."
"This painting is not worth Mr. Miao's investment. The painting industry is actually very complicated. I am afraid that Mr. Miao cannot grasp it, so let me take charge."
"That's what Director Fang said. I just like Eagles."
"What a coincidence! I happen to have a famous painting by Master Zhao Zhou at home. It's a painting of an eagle, and it's much better than this one. I'll send it to Mr. Miao later. I'll buy this one."
"Fang Mokan, stop pretending!"
Miao Bai's face became serious: "I must get this painting!"
Fang Mokan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Miao Bai, you must snatch it from me today, right?"
I’m leaving!
Wang Xin, who was standing by, didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only persuade them, "Don't argue with each other, don't hurt the relationship. Let's be frank. Everyone likes this painting. If the hotel was willing to sell it, Wang would have bought it yesterday. But the hotel refused to sell it, and it was placed in the room for customers to enjoy!"
"I don't believe it!"
They both said in unison: "Call the manager over!"
Wang Xin: “…”
He could only arrange for someone to call the manager.
Not long after, Wang Yu, the hotel manager, came over.
“I want to buy this painting.”
Fang Mokan saw Wang Yu and pointed directly at the painting on the wall.
Wang Yu smiled bitterly: "The chairman has issued a death order. The hotel's paintings cannot be sold..."
Sun Yaohuo really gave a death order.
Even so, Wang Yu had to use all kinds of persuasion to make these people completely believe that this painting would never be sold.
"Well, in that case..."
Miao Bai suppressed his disappointment and suddenly said with a smile:
"Mr. Wang, you must have admired this painting enough. Why don't you change to a suite? I'll pay for it and I'll stay in this suite tonight. I really like this painting. As for the business we want to discuss, I'll sign it in a while. I hope everyone has a happy cooperation!"
"No?"
Fang Mokan was anxious: "You two can stay in the hotel. I'll pay for two suites for you. I can stay in this room. I have no problem with business. Mr. Wang, please agree to my unreasonable request!"
"You're grabbing all this?"
Miao Bai no longer liked Fang Mokan.
Wang Yu always felt that the atmosphere was not right: "Excuse me, our hotel has five suites in total. There are also wonderful paintings in the other suites. There is no need to stick to the same suite."
"Are there any other paintings like this in other rooms?"
Miao Bai and Fang Mokan were shocked. Could there be more than one painting of this level
"yes."
Wang Yu nodded confidently: "This is a suite worth 500,000 yuan a night, of course there must be a reason why it is worth 500,000 yuan!"
"Five hundred thousand a night?"
Miao Bai and Fang Mokan had just learned the price of the hotel's top suite, but considering the paintings on the wall, neither of them thought there was anything wrong with the price.
"Open one for me!"
“I’ll open one too!”
The two spoke one after another, then looked at Wang Yu doubtfully, their tone somewhat serious:
"Don't let the paintings in here disappoint us."
"Please don't worry."
Wang Yu spoke with a smile and quickly booked a room for the two of them.
…
Miao Bai entered the "Spring Trees and Autumn Frost" suite.
This was chosen by Miao Bai himself.
Wang Xin followed behind: "Miao Dong, I think you don't mind if I come over to enjoy it with you, right?"
"certainly."
Miao Bai smiled slightly: "Let's do it together."
He and Fang Mokan were both true lovers of painting, otherwise it was impossible for two wealthy men of status and position to almost quarrel over a painting.
Wang Xin brought him here today, and he is very grateful!
If he hadn't made this trip, he would never have seen such a good painting, so all his previous unhappiness disappeared without a trace!
At this time.
Wang Xin hesitated and said, "I just don't know if the paintings in this room are as good as they say."
It’s not that he doesn’t trust this hotel.
The painting of "Eagle Spreading Wings and Swallowing Mountains and Rivers" in his suite was so good that Wang Xin couldn't believe that there could be a painting of the same level in this hotel!
"You'll know after you've seen it."
Miao Bai's heart was also beating fast.
As the two went deeper, they finally arrived in front of the painting.
Swish!
When this painting of "Spring Trees and Autumn Frost" was shown in front of the two of them, their expressions changed almost at the same time!
Different from the heroic image of an eagle spreading its wings.
In this painting, there are green mountains in spring and springs splashing in the valley, gurgling gently.
High mountains rise up everywhere, dead trees grow new branches and sprout slender buds, creating a strong sense of spring.
Between the green mountains, the strange peaks block the sky;
On the top of the mountain, the dense forest looks like a huge black blanket hat fastened on the cliff. Among the dark green, clusters of unknown wild flowers pop out from the rock wall.
Strange rocks lie on the gurgling stream;
There are cloud shadows like gauze between the mountains and waters, appearing and disappearing, as if turning into rising mist.
At the mouth of the valley.
The two scholars sat cross-legged on a rock by the stream, seeking a quiet place to talk.
There is a hanging spring under your feet, which flows into the stream and splashes out with a sound as if there is a cold sound.
Elegant and refined!
So poetic!
The fusion of mountains and water is a combination of stillness and movement, and a combination of monotony and splendor, which constitutes the most beautiful scenery.
The beauty of nature!
To the fullest!
Stand in front of this painting.
Miao Bai seemed to have transformed himself into one of the scholars and smelled the fragrance of spring mud.
He even felt an inexplicable chill on his cheeks, as if his face was splashed by the stream water in the painting, and then the oncoming spring breeze blew gently, instantly refreshing his heart and making him feel cool and comfortable.
Miao Bai has this feeling.
Wang Xin, who was standing next to him, had a similar feeling. He murmured, "There really is a painting that is not inferior to the one in my suite. It is only slightly inferior to the previous one..."
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
Miao Bai felt that his mood had never been calmer, and even his words became gentle:
"Brother Wang thinks that the eagle spreading its wings and swallowing the world is better, but I think this painting "Spring Trees and Autumn Frost" is more to my liking. It is a kind of spiritual tranquility and indifference..."
"Let's go see Director Fang?"
Wang Xin did not argue. In his heart, only when an eagle spreads its wings and swallows the world can it demonstrate its infinite dominance!
This painting is too soft.
Just like drinking, some people like red wine, while others like white wine.
"Walk!"
Miao Bai and Wang Xin immediately went to Fang Mokan's suite.
A few minutes later.
The three of them felt speechless shock again in front of the painting "Phoenix Proud Image" in Fang Mokan's room.
Immediately following.
The hotel receives the order:
Miao Bai and Wang Xin continued to live there at the same time.
also.
The two men also booked the other two suites and took turns walking around them several times.
In the end, Wang Yu was entangled again by the three people who had already reached a cooperation intention.
"Can't you really sell these paintings to us?"
“I really can’t!”
This is the first time that the five suites of Fish Dynasty are "full".
