80s Wife Is Sweet and Sassy

Chapter 484
Chu Qiao sighed with emotion, and then said, "You know that there is a famous painter in foreign countries named Van Gogh, have you heard of it?"

Mrs. Liu and the three shook their heads in unison. They are all educated in elementary school. If they were not lucky enough to catch up with the good times, they should all be farming in the countryside now. Who knows what Van Gogh is?

"Huh, rice cake? Isn't it the painting by Mrs. Sun's family?"

"That's right, Mrs. Sun said that the sunflower in her house was painted by Fan Gao. Boss Chu, is this Fan Gao famous?"

Chu Qiao smiled and nodded, "It's very famous, and the sunflowers he painted are very expensive."

"The sunflower painting is really good, just like the real thing, but it's too expensive, it costs hundreds of thousands."

Chu Qiao deliberately exaggerated: "Impossible!"

"Really, Mrs. Sun said it herself. Boss Sun bought it in Hong Kong City for hundreds of thousands." A woman said with certainty, thinking that Chu Qiao didn't believe it was so expensive.

"Hundreds of thousands of dollars can't be bought, and Van Gogh's authentic sunflowers cost at least [-] million yuan, and they don't sell them at all, they are placed in museums." Chu Qiao's stomach hurts from laughing.

The faces of Mrs. Liu and the three of them became strange, and they exchanged glances again, secretly cursing Mrs. Sun for not being a thing, and coaxing them.

"Then Mrs. Sun's sunflowers are fake?" Mrs. Liu asked.

Chu Qiao nodded, "It's 100% fake. You really can't buy it, and you can't afford it. In fact, you can't buy many authentic Western paintings. All the ones circulating in the market are fakes."

"Is the fake expensive?" Mrs. Liu asked.

The other two also looked at Chu Qiao eagerly, wondering if it really cost hundreds of thousands.

Chu Qiao smiled and said: "It depends on who painted it. Even fakes are divided into grades. Some people's paintings can be confused with real ones. They are definitely not cheap. Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands are possible, and some only cost a few thousand yuan. For example For some unknown students, their paintings are very cheap, you can buy them for thousands of yuan, and the quality can be guaranteed.”

"Only a few thousand yuan?" Mrs. Liu raised her voice in disbelief.

The difference between thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands is too big.

"Thousands of dollars are not cheap anymore. Let me tell you, there is a big difference between being famous and not being famous in the industry of a painter. A famous painter has a painting worth a few million dollars, while those who are not famous may not be able to sell for hundreds of dollars." Chu Qiao explain.

Mrs. Liu and the three of them were arguing in their hearts. Thousands of dollars seemed cheap to them, but they didn't say they wanted to buy it, so they had to look again.

"Will people recognize those paintings?" Mrs. Liu asked.

She was afraid that if she hung it at home, it would be embarrassing if people recognized it as a fake.

Chu Qiao couldn't help laughing, "Sister, let me tell you this. Those Western paintings hanging at home are basically fakes. Everyone knows it well. What are you afraid of?"

Mrs. Liu also laughed, and she was more than half relieved that it would be easy to handle if they were all fakes.

"Xiao Chu, why don't you take us to see that Mr. Mei's gallery one day, I moved to a new house recently, and I'm short of decorations." Mrs. Liu said.

"Me too. I just renovated the house and put a few Western paintings to improve the quality."

Not to be outdone, the other two women wanted to buy paintings.

Chu Qiao was not in a hurry, and said slowly, "I don't have time recently, and Mr. Mei is also very busy. When I am free, I will make an appointment with Mr. Mei, are you not in a hurry?"

"Don't worry, take your time, master, it's normal to be a bit arrogant." Mrs. Liu spoke very well.

After the three wives left, Chu Qiao called Mei Jiuming.

"Mr. Mei, you'd better speed up. I've already contacted the client. Let me know when you're done."

Mei Jiuming had already set up his easel. He was going to copy famous Western paintings, and he could finish the painting in a few days. He didn't expect Chu Qiao to move so fast, which made him both happy and worried.

I am happy that I will be able to make money soon, but I am also worried that the paintings I copied will not satisfy the customers and sell at a high price.

"I don't know what specific requirements the client has for the painting?" Mei Jiuming wanted to ask more clearly.

"You have to be famous, the more famous the better, they don't understand, they just look at whether it looks good, of course, the level of painting should not be too bad, after all, it has status, and the things in the house should not be too cheap, Mr. Mei understands what I mean ?"

Chu Qiao actually didn't understand these things, and she was afraid that Mei Jiuming wouldn't understand.

Mei Jiuming chuckled softly from the microphone, "I understand, I can bring them over in half a month, and I will make arrangements."

"Okay, the price can't be set too low, tens of thousands to several thousand yuan is fine."

"it is good."

Mei Jiuming smiled again. He didn't want to sell it too cheap. Although his students were not well-known, they all had real talents. He didn't bother to sell them for a hundred yuan. I'm sorry for those students who have worked hard for years. .

A few thousand yuan is still acceptable, but I don't know how much commission Chu Qiao will take.

"Miss Chu, there is something I want to ask first, how much commission are you going to take?"

Mei Jiuming asked directly. It is better to be a villain first and then a gentleman, so as to avoid conflicts in the future due to unclear division of accounts. He has suffered in this regard before. He has had a stalemate with his friends for many years, and now he has not reconciled. , I guess it will be difficult in this life.

"I have two plans. Mr. Mei chooses. The first plan is that I invest in Mr. Mei's gallery, which can solve your urgent needs. I will continue to introduce clients in the future, but I will take 50.00% of the gallery's equity. "

Chu Qiao is more inclined to the first option. Although she cherishes her talents, she will not be a good person for no reason, even if Mei Jiuming is a great painter in the future.

The gallery must be making money, and the profit is very high. Chu Qiao's main reason is to make money, so she can help Mei Jiuming and form a good relationship.

"Miss Chu, is 50.00% one too much? The gallery is not mine anymore." Mei Jiuming was dissatisfied. He didn't expect Chu Qiao to be as mean as those capitalists.

The reason why he insisted so hard for so many years is that the gallery can be in his own hands. Otherwise, why should he work so hard?
It's not that no one invested in his gallery, but most of them were invested by the boss.

Chu Qiao smiled, "Of course the gallery still belongs to Mr. Mei, but Mr. Mei has persisted for so many years, so he should have a clear self-knowledge. You are good at painting, but not good at business. You see, the gallery is about to close down under your hands. gone."

There was silence on the microphone for a long time before Mei Jiuming resentfully said, "It's just a temporary difficulty, and it will definitely get better."

These words are without confidence, even Mei Jiuming himself has no confidence, if he can't make more money, he will be evicted by the landlord next month.

Chu Qiao said bluntly: "You can't even fool yourself with such words. Everyone has their own areas of expertise. Mr. Mei, you should shine in painting and don't let the smell of copper stain you. Leave it to me. The reason why I want 50.00% of the equity is to control the management rights. Don’t worry, I will not interfere with your painting. You can paint whatever you want, but how the gallery operates is up to me. You should be able to accept that, right?"
