After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chapter 96
The two of them set off after eating and resting for a short time.

Chen Feng drove, and the two talked and laughed all the way to the provincial museum first.

There are several museums in Xiuzhou City, and the Provincial Museum is undoubtedly the largest.

At this time, it was almost 01:30 in the afternoon, and there were not many people visiting the museum.

Today is not a holiday, and the museum is basically open during the day except for Monday, and the tourists are scattered, so the number of tourists is naturally not very large.

Chen Feng originally had some expectations for the cultural relics exhibited in the museum, but after looking around, none of the cultural relics gave him the feeling similar to the "Orchid Pavilion Preface".

Many of the exhibits here are marked as replicas, that is, imitations, but more of them should be genuine products, some of which are thousands of years old, but none of them gave Chen Feng that feeling.

Chen Feng was somewhat disappointed by this.

Originally, he was a little optimistic, thinking that a living artist like Master Wang Yi could create an "authentic product" like "Lanting Preface", which would bring gratifying changes to his body and mind, so the more powerful artists in history, they The created artwork should have the same effect.

But now it seems that Chen Feng's thinking should be wrong.

Because he didn't find the result he wanted after shopping around, Chen Feng was not in a good mood, so that the next few exhibits were just looking at the flowers, lacking in interest.

Wu Mengting who was with him noticed his strangeness and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Chen Feng shook his head quickly: "No. I just think these are boring. Let's go to the art gallery to have a look. There seems to be an exhibition of some great painter's paintings over there today."

Wu Mengting originally wanted to continue browsing in the museum, but after hearing what Chen Feng said, she nodded and agreed: "Okay. Last time we just saw Master Wang Yi's calligraphy and painting exhibition. Haven't looked at it carefully yet."

"Well. Let's go over this time and take a good look."

So, the two quickly left the provincial museum and drove to the provincial art gallery. The two had seen Master Wang Yi's painting and calligraphy exhibition last time.

From Chen Feng's point of view, since the works of art collected by the Provincial Museum are ineffective, the same must be true for the collections of other museums in Xiuzhou City.

Thinking again that "Orchid Pavilion Preface" was a single character, Chen Feng felt that instead of wasting time going to other museums, he might as well go to the Provincial Art Museum.

The distance between the two sides is not very far, only four or five kilometers, and it takes about ten minutes to arrive.

There are many exhibition halls in the Provincial Art Museum.

After the two entered, they began to wander around the exhibition halls one by one.

What made Chen Feng depressed was that, after visiting three exhibition halls in a row, he couldn't find the calligraphy, painting or other works of art he wanted.

Then the fourth exhibition hall, no, the fifth exhibition hall, no.

When he arrived at the sixth exhibition hall, Chen Feng had lost all hope, and it turned out that a painter's art exhibition happened to be held here.

It should be the one Chen Feng found on the Internet.

Looking at the introduction on the sign at the door, the artist is called Song Yi, an oil painter. He is 58 years old this year. He graduated from a famous art school in China.

An oil painting once sold for $160 million at an auction house in Zurich.

This time, he came here for the exhibition and presented a total of 52 paintings, each of which can be said to be his masterpiece.

After reading the introduction for a while, the two went in for a tour.

Chen Feng didn't have any hope at first, but after reading one by one, he suddenly stopped in front of a painting in shock.

This is a painting called "Autumn Sky", with bright colors, one layer after another, mainly golden yellow and dark blue, and the autumn sky is very abstractly drawn, like layers of swirls.

Beneath this swirling sky lies a sinuous abstract river and a swarthy forest.

The painting is very abstract, and it can even be said to be a little distorted.

Therefore, it is certain that this Song Yi should be an abstract painter.

Chen Feng stood like this for more than ten minutes, until he was pushed by Wu Mengting, and he finally recovered from that dizzy state.

"What's the matter with you? You were so fascinated by watching, you didn't even respond." Wu Mengting looked at Chen Feng suspiciously.

"I'm fascinated by it." Chen Feng said with a smile in a good mood, "I like this painting very much, and I want to buy it. I just don't know if it's expensive. If it's worth a million dollars, I definitely can't afford it."

"You want to buy again?" Wu Mengting couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Chen Feng nodded affirmatively: "I'll contact Director Huang right now. Find the artist Song Yi."

Chen Feng was a little determined to get this "Autumn Sky", as long as the price was not too outrageous, he planned to buy it.

Just like the "Orchid Pavilion Preface", he also felt that this painting should be very valuable for collection.

After buying it, as long as the price is not too outrageous, there should be no loss in the future.

Director Huang of the art museum exchanged contact information with Chen Feng last time.

Chen Feng left the exhibition hall and stood in the corridor to make a phone call. As soon as he told him, Director Huang enthusiastically expressed that he would contact Song Yi immediately.

A few minutes later, Director Huang personally brought Song Yi's person in charge, and his manager came over, who turned out to be an old white man with a big nose.

Chen Feng's spoken English was average, and after communicating with this old white man, he knew that his name was Lehman, and he was the agent of Song Yi, a great painter.

Then Chen Feng asked straight to the point the price of the "Autumn Sky", and the other party was not ambiguous, and directly quoted 120 million US dollars.

Chen Feng was speechless when he heard the price. According to the current exchange rate, the price in China is more than 800 million.

This nima is too expensive!
Chen Feng shook his head three times: no! no! no!

Then, awkwardly bargain in English, up to 300 million RMB.

The other party also shook his head and said no!Then it means $100 million minimum.

This can't be discussed.

Wu Mengting helped bargain the price in fluent English, but the effect was not great.

Seeing this, Chen Feng had no choice but to give up the purchase, and expressed regret to him: "Your price is too expensive, I can't afford it."

Such honest words left the other party speechless for a while.

"I'm sorry to trouble you. We can leave a contact information. If I have money in the future, or if you are willing to reduce the price, you can contact each other."

Seeing this, the foreign old man had no choice but to exchange contact information with Chen Feng, and then left disappointed.

"Director Huang, I'm really sorry to trouble you again this time. I should quote a price directly on the phone first, so I'm sorry to trouble you."

Chen Feng felt a little embarrassed and apologized to Director Huang, the middleman.

Director Huang waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's nothing. It's just a few steps away. Mr. Chen can often come to our museum to watch exhibitions and pay for the purchase, which is a kind of affirmation of our work. It seems that Mr. Chen, You love painting and calligraphy very much."

Chen Feng nodded: "Yes. I am very interested in calligraphy and painting. For example, Master Wang Yi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface" and Song Yi's "Autumn Sky" are all my personal favorites."

"Mr. Chen, you are really an elegant person. I don't know what kind of calligraphy and painting works Mr. Chen is more interested in. I know many calligraphers and painters, but I can introduce one or two to you, Mr. Chen."

As soon as Chen Feng heard his words, his eyes lit up. This Director Huang is in charge of the art museum's work in connection with the exhibitions of those artists. Of course, he knows many artists.

Chen Feng could definitely use him to see the works of those calligraphers and painters.

Therefore, Chen Feng quickly thanked: "Thank you so much, I can't ask for it. I am interested in almost all calligraphy and painting, of course, the premise is that it must meet my vision. If it is convenient for Director Huang, you can introduce me to some talented people. Calligrapher and painter. I can come and visit."

Director Huang readily agreed: "Okay. Let's add a WeChat first, and I will send it to you after I go back to sort it out. We will contact you on WeChat."

Chen Feng quickly took out his mobile phone and opened WeChat, added him as a friend, and thanked him again: "This time, Director Huang is really troublesome. I don't know if I'm free tonight. Let's have a meal together."

Director Huang waved his hand and said, "I'm a bit busy these days, let's talk about it after dinner."

Chen Feng smiled and nodded: "Okay. I owe it first."

Director Huang also smiled: "You're welcome. Please contact me again."

Director Huang didn't exchange pleasantries with Chen Feng too much, nodded to him after speaking, and left.

"Brother Feng, why are you suddenly interested in art collection?"

Wu Mengting was quite puzzled.No matter how you look at it, Chen Feng has nothing to do with art.

It was because of her that I came to the painting and calligraphy exhibition last time.

"I'm just interested in calligraphy and painting that suits my tastes, and collections are just incidental."

Chen Feng told the truth.

Wu Mengting was still full of doubts, and kindly persuaded: "The water in these works of art is very deep. If you don't understand anything, you will be deceived. Like the "Autumn Sky" just now, I don't think it is a good work. And Song Yi, a painter, is only a little famous in Europe, not a big painter, let alone well-known in our country. The other party actually quoted 120 million US dollars, which is really outrageous. It is obvious that he wants to kill you. "

"Okay. I see, I will remember what you said."

On the surface, Chen Feng still accepted Wu Mengting's persuasion very humbly, but in his heart he thought: If I didn't have a lot of money now, the other party would have bought it when they got 100 million US dollars.

He doesn't know the specific commercial price of this painting, let alone its artistic value, he only knows that this painting can bring him great enjoyment and changes in body and mind.

This is enough!

He still has tens of millions of money, and if he is destined to only have a few months to live, he wants to spend most of it.

It is not to do meaningless squandering, or to do meaningful public welfare and charity.

He just wanted that he would not die young without enjoying anything.

Buying "Lanting Preface" and "Autumn Sky" can bring him great physical and mental pleasure, and even improve his spirit and body.

Of course he can afford to spend money.

As for not wanting to spend 100 million US dollars to buy "Autumn Sky" this time, the main reason is that the price offered by the other party is a bit outrageous in his opinion.

Moreover, even if he didn't spend money to buy it, he could actually enjoy the physical and mental benefits that "Autumn Sky" brought to him.

Song Yi's exhibition will last for five days, and today is the first day of his solo exhibition.

The big deal is that starting from today, Chen Feng will come over every day to "paint".

"Let's go ahead and look at the paintings."

As Chen Feng said, he couldn't wait to take the lead in.

Song Yi has more than 50 paintings on display this time, and Chen Feng expects that among these paintings, there are other works that can bring him surprises.

Unfortunately, Chen Feng's expectation was doomed to fail.

There are a total of 52 works. After reading the whole process, except for "Autumn Sky", none of the other paintings brought him any surprises.

Although he was a little disappointed, Chen Feng was satisfied, and he immediately came back to the painting "Autumn Sky".

However, before "falling into meditation", he told Wu Mengting in advance that he would be fascinated by looking at the paintings, and told her not to wake him up, so that he could look at the paintings with peace of mind.

Although Wu Mengting was puzzled, she agreed.

So, Chen Feng stood in front of the oil painting "Autumn Sky", looked at it intently, and soon entered a dizzy "sedation" state.

After he woke up from this state, he suddenly realized that a dozen people had gathered around him, all staring at "Autumn Sky" just like him.

Seeing this, Chen Feng guessed that it might be because he was too engrossed and "obsessed" looking at this painting just now, which attracted these people to join in the fun.

But obviously except for Chen Feng, no one else saw anything strange.

However, there are also a few of them who don’t know how to pretend to understand and whisper, how awesome this “Autumn Sky” is, and it has the shadow of Van Gogh’s “Starry Sky”.

Chen Feng didn't want to see paintings with this group of people who didn't understand and pretended to understand, so he immediately pulled Wu Mengting who had been by his side and squeezed out of the crowd.

"How long has it been since I saw the painting just now?"

After leaving the crowd, Chen Feng asked the time question with more concern.

Wu Mengting thought for a while and said, "About half an hour."

After finishing speaking, she asked very curiously: "Did this painting really fascinate you so much? You actually stared at it for half an hour without moving. If I didn't know the truth, I would have thought you were invited by Song Yi. of trust."

Chen Feng heard it for only half an hour, and felt a little disappointed in his heart, but when he thought that he came here for nothing, he suddenly became happy again, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, Zi Feiyu An knows the joy of fish, This is the situation I am in now. I just look at this painting and I feel very relaxed and comfortable. The "Orchid Pavilion Preface" by Master Wang Yi before gave me such a feeling. Otherwise, why do you think I spend so much money? purchase?"

"Really?" Wu Mengting still didn't believe it.

Chen Feng said seriously: "I'm not lying to you. It's not necessary."

Wu Mengting then nodded suspiciously: "Okay. I believe you."

Chen Feng smiled: "Speaking of which, it's still thanks to you. If you hadn't brought me to the art museum last time, I wouldn't have known that I was destined for these two calligraphy and paintings."

Wu Mengting said with some concern: "I'm afraid that you will be scammed by spending money on calligraphy and paintings in the future. If that's the case, it will be my fault."

Chen Feng quickly said: "You don't have to worry about that. This time the other party sold it to me for 100 million US dollars, didn't I also buy it?"
