Soul Painter

Christie and Lawrence had a long conversation.

Because Gao Fan's works were cold, Christie's had concerns about whether to include Gao Fan's works in the auction plan in the early stage. After all, according to the artist's own request, the price of his works should not be lower than the lowest price of the previous auction. 80% of the transaction price, that is, not less than 78 million US dollars.

However, Gao Fan's works are not favored in the market, which is also obvious.

The circulation rate of his works in the past six months is '0'.

This is an unusual scene for a world-recognized master who has established a school in the new era, and is also a new master with few works circulating in the market.

The news that his agent tried his best to promote Gao Fan's works but there were very few applicants came from time to time, which made Christie's full of concerns. monster'.

And once such works of art that are likely to fail to be sold are included in Christie's auction catalog, it will not be a good thing for Christie's goodwill.

Therefore, in the early stage, Christie's pursuit of Gao Fan's works was not very enthusiastic, but some small auction houses were holding back to attract attention and play big games, and their intention to obtain the auction rights of Gao Fan's works was very strong.

But after a few more days, rumors of this "Buddha" repeatedly occupy the news pages, and things will be different.

Although no Buddhists have come to pay homage to the painter's painting exhibition, on the night of the fire in the Empire State Building, the painter's painting stood intact in the flames. The golden giant Buddha that appeared strangely and the fire that was extinguished by inexplicable forces were killed by firefighters or countless people. Hundreds of thousands of ordinary citizens saw it with their own eyes, and countless newspapers frantically reproduced it. I believe that the artist's painting exhibition will soon become a religious holy place, right?

Although already twenty-first century.

But there is still a third of young people in the beautiful country who believe that the earth is flat.

Half the people on social media believe Bill Gates wants to destroy all of humanity.

Thousands of people drank it like whiskey after the president believed it could cure diseases.

In other words, don't trust the scientific literacy of ordinary people in the beautiful country.

At this moment, feudal superstition activities that would be beaten to death by the stick of materialism in China are spreading wildly in New York. Some people even think that the soul of New York is "Buddha" in view of the artist's past of creating "Bostonians" for Boston. A 'BAM (Become a monk)' call was launched on social media.

Unfortunately, there are very few applicants.

There are only a few hundred.

But when these hundreds of bald heads parade with slogans in front of the public, it is indeed quite spectacular.

They walked all the way from the Empire State Building to the Hilton Hotel where the painter was, and requested that "Buddha" be kept in New York like "Bostonians" and become a spiritual symbol of New York. There is no doubt that this idea and request were purely for fun.

From Hilton's hotel room, looking at the group of beautiful people with shaved heads, Lawrence smiled very happily. He was indeed behind this incident. The black buddies who shouted the loudest were the ones he hired of.

He wants to imitate "Bostonian" and create a "great" in New York.

I have to say that after going through all kinds of turmoil, Lawrence's methods of manipulating public opinion have become more subtle and whimsical, but now it seems that the effect is quite good. The monks from all over the world are rushing to the painter's exhibition, and Christie's has repeatedly sent invitations The letter is the proof.

"It's still the old rule to auction "Ring Arena" and "Veteran" first, and then "Buddha" will be auctioned after the two works add up to more than 300 million yuan," Lawrence told Gao Fan.

Christie's is also insane to agree to such a sale contract and promote it vigorously. As the finale of this Christie's auction in New York, if everything really falls through, it will become a joke.

"Originally, 80 million yuan was not willing to take over, but now a single 150 million yuan is willing to bet. It seems that you have put a lot of pressure on them." Gao Fan said with a smile.

"I, Christie's and the buyer's market are all ignorant. Only you are very sure. I don't know where your confidence comes from." Lawrence said.

That’s right, the news has been speculated, and greatness and miracles may be recognized by the public, but who will take over, “Bostonian” has three million Bostonians to take over, and “Buddha” is great enough for those Buddhist organizations to take over what?

Lawrence didn't have much confidence in this, because the price Gao Fan asked was too high.

And those Buddhist organizations are not very rich.

If the Buddhist organization does not take over, this painting will mean nothing to other people. Could it be that the world's rich and financial groups spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a wall back to prevent fires?

"Don't worry, someone will take this set~" Gao Fan said.

STK expressed to him not long ago that he hoped that he would sell "Buddha" as soon as possible, and implicitly said that as long as Gao Fan expresses such a wish and it is known to everyone, then under the protection of STK, this pollution incident will be resolved. Gao Fan is no longer involved.

Gao Fan agreed with this, so he asked Lawrence to sign a VAM contract with Christie's just like the last Xiangjiang auction. Of course, the object of the VAM is still the entire buyer's market.

"Who will pick up... Siam?" Lawrence noticed that Gao Fan had been following the developments in Siam, so he made a guess.

"The Monk King will definitely come." Gao Fan nodded.

"Then I'm relieved~" Lawrence instantly relieved.

In the past half a month, the monk king has become the focus of politics all over the world. The new king of Siam, who is a trinity of secularism, religion and royal family, has mastered the entire Siamese country in a short period of time by magical means. She is now focusing on military affairs. The supreme power of religion is one, and its artifice is called an incomprehensible miracle, because under her rule there is no resistance.

If a country's financial resources are used to make a purchase invitation, Lawrence has nothing to worry about, just wait for the money to be counted.

"It's not just her." Gao Fan smiled, the happy smile of a brat lighting a firewood pile, "The whole world is waiting~"

This sentence is a promotional slogan for Gao Fan's works during this year's Spring Festival auction at Christie's, and it is actually very suitable here.

After all, in order to prevent the two pollution sources from converging together, I believe that the mysterious world represented by the nine angels will be willing to pay a considerable price.

...

When the news of Christie's and Gao Fan's bet spread, the huge buyer's market fell into a very, very, very suspicious state after learning about it.

Once at the beginning of the year, and again at the end of the year.

What does this devil painter think of their capital, a cash machine?

Who gave him such confidence...

The artist's self-confidence has caused many buyers to doubt themselves. Is the amount of US$100 million not high for this artist?

Yes, when you are confident enough, the world can create self-doubt.
