Chapter 281 The Popular Imitation

"Please send the last month's newspaper to my room." Zhang Junping said to the front desk in fluent French.

In this era, if you want to understand current affairs and find business opportunities, you can only use newspapers.

Among the thousands of information, find the information you want.

The front desk quickly delivered the newspaper to Zhang Junping's smiling room.

The business suite is the customer service second only to the presidential suite, and all the guests who can stay in the business suite are VIPs.

As for the requirements of VIPs, we naturally try our best to meet them.

Zhang Junping took a dozen thick newspapers and tipped the waiter twenty French francs.

After seeing off the waiter, Zhang Junping began to read the newspaper.

After flipping for a while, Zhang Junping's expression became strange.

As expected of a veteran art dealer, his grasp of business opportunities is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.

This can no longer be said to be grasping business opportunities, but creating business opportunities.

Turn passive into active.

When Zhang Junping came to Paris last year, he sold more than 300 copies of his own oil paintings.

Originally, I planned to trick these French art dealers, and get some funds for myself by the way.

As for why they should be pitted.

From the standpoint of the Chinese, none of these French art dealers is innocent, and every art dealer is a robber to the Chinese.

They are all shameless thieves, the offspring of robbers.

It's just that I didn't realize that these art dealers were really cunning and cunning. Although they were fooled, they didn't suffer.

They made a lot of money by four or two, not only didn't suffer a loss, but also made a lot of money.

Of course, Zhang Junping did not suffer a loss either. He not only gained hundreds of millions of dollars in funds, but also gained fame.

At this time, mediocrity has become the code name of a new famous artist.

It is highly sought after by collectors from Europe and the United States.

After flipping through the newspaper for a while, Zhang Junping put the newspaper down and held his chin thinking about how to use the news.

How to maximize profit.

It is no longer realistic to directly take the oil painting that I imitated and go to the gallery to sell it.

Now that you see paintings by Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, Rubens, Rembrandt Harmansson van Rijn, and Paul Cézanne in the gallery, the first thing to do is to check whether they are imitations.

It's not a mere imitation, then look at others, and then discuss the price.

Zhang Junping did bring a lot of oil paintings to Paris, France this time, and he also brought a lot of Chinese landscape paintings.

But these works do not have pseudonyms, but are signed directly.

I don't know if the gallery will recognize the painting with my real name.

Zhang Junping was thinking about how to start his work in Paris when the doorbell rang outside.

Zhang Junping stood up and opened the door.

I saw Lao Qin, Niu Wensheng, Chen Lijun, Zheng Dongmei and others standing outside.

Zhang Junping let them into the room, and asked with a smile, "Have you rested?"

"Manager, how can we still be in the mood for sleep! We took a shower, changed our clothes, and watched TV in the room."

"How is it? Is French TV good?" Zhang Junping asked narrowly.

Sure enough, when Zhang Junping asked, Chen Lijun, Zheng Dongmei and other women blushed, and Niu Wensheng and others also showed embarrassment.

"Bah! This foreign devil's TV is too shameless." Wang Fenglan spat and laughed.

"Hahaha!" Zhang Junping laughed loudly.

Paris, France is known as the most romantic country in the world. It is full of art, fashion and hormones.

The TV dramas they shoot, even if they are just ordinary TV dramas, some scenes of intimacy between men and women cannot be avoided.

This seems to be a very normal thing for the French.

On the street, I often meet someone who is passionately kissing on the street.

It's just a way for people to express their feelings.

However, in the eyes of Chinese people in this era, it is immoral and unsightly.

However, looking at the expressions of the crowd, Zhang Junping knew that although he was critical in his mouth, he was honest in his actions and fascinated by watching.

This is actually the same as when pornographic videotapes were first introduced into China in the mid-to-late 90s.

Many people criticize this kind of vulgar movie, but they can't help but watch it.

At the beginning, a group of men and women gathered together to watch and discuss with each other.

This has nothing to do with age, gender, or knowledge level, it is completely human nature.

"Manager, haven't you watched TV?" Lu Zhaode asked in surprise when he saw the scattered newspapers on the coffee table.

"No, I'm not interested in TV dramas, so I asked for a newspaper in Paris for the past month and studied it.

As the saying goes, if you know your enemy and yourself, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. "Zhang Junping said with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they were all in awe. The manager is worthy of being a manager, and his consideration of the problem is far-reaching.

"Manager, can you understand these French newspapers?" Lou Xinying was even more surprised.

Lou Xinying once studied in France and knows French.

"Of course I understand!" Zhang Junping laughed.

In fact, Zhang Junping had already revealed that he knew French when he was at Charles de Gaulle Airport.

It was just that at that time, everyone had just set foot on the land of France, and everything was chaotic. No one paid attention to this matter, thinking that Zhang Junping was speaking English.

"Manager, how many foreign languages ​​do you know?" Zheng Dongmei also asked in surprise.

Everyone in the Materials Bureau knew that Zhang Junping was proficient in Russian.

"Japanese, Russian, English, French, German, Italian, Latin, Greek... there are ten or so!" Zhang Junping said casually.

"Ten... ten gates?" Everyone looked at Zhang Junping as if they were looking at God. Is this still a human being?
They all find it so difficult to learn a foreign language, and some people are proficient in more than a dozen foreign languages.

Zhang Junping doesn't think it's outrageous to master more than a dozen foreign languages.

He only mastered a dozen foreign languages ​​because he was hanging on his body. A spokesperson in later generations can master seventeen foreign languages ​​​​without cheating.

Compared with the other party, I am really ordinary.

In the evening, Zhang Junping took everyone to find a Michelin three-star restaurant and had a sumptuous dinner.

When everyone decided to go abroad, they secretly went to Lao Mo to learn Western food culture.

This time, it finally came in handy.

After dinner, it was still early. Seeing that everyone was very excited, Zhang Junping simply led them to the Champs-Elysées.

The Champs-Elysées are open for a long time, which is when their business is at its best.

"Everyone, take a good look and study hard. In the future, we will also open two art shops on the Champs-Elysées.

A gallery specializing in calligraphy and painting, and an art store selling various handicrafts. "Walking on the Champs Elysees Avenue, Zhang Junping whispered to everyone.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded excitedly in agreement.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lou, you should collect more magazines related to European and American art for a while, and see how they promote art and luxury goods." Zhang Junping explained to Lu Zhaode and Lou Xinying again.

"Understood, manager!" Lu Zhaode and Lou Xinying nodded.

"Let's go!" Zhang Junping led the way into a watch shop.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" A clerk greeted Zhang Junping and his party, and said enthusiastically but not flatteringly.

"Thank you, let's take a look." Zhang Junping replied in French.

The more luxury stores, the higher the quality of the clerks, there will never be that kind of: what to look at, country bumpkin, poor ghost, you can't afford it after selling you, get out of here, don't pollute the environment here.

This kind of bloody plot will never happen.

Maybe deep down in their hearts, they really look down on you, but they will never say it.

Needless to say, as long as I show you the price of the product, most people will automatically retreat.

That string of zeros can make people dizzy.

Zhang Junping said to take a look casually, which meant to tell the other party that he didn't buy anything, but came to see l to open his eyes.

There are many such cases.

Paris is originally a tourist city, with many tourists, and most tourists cannot afford it, but it does not prevent them from seeing and gaining insight.

In this regard, these luxury stores are all welcome.

According to relevant research, most of the buyers of fashion and luxury magazines such as "ELLE", "Harper's Bazaar", "marie claire", "Numero" are those who cannot afford luxury goods.

What's more interesting is that it is these people who can't afford luxury goods that bring them to the fore.

Therefore, foreign luxury stores will never refuse ordinary tourists to visit.

Zhang Junping led the crowd around the Rolex store, allowing everyone to experience the atmosphere of a luxury store.

"Do you want to buy anything?" Zhang Junping asked in a low voice.

Everyone shook their heads.

Just kidding, sold them and couldn't afford the cheapest watch in the store.

Zhang Junping didn't say much, and led everyone out of the Rolex store.

"Guys, there's no need to feel inferior!
We are poor now and cannot afford these luxuries, but this should not be a reason for us to feel inferior.

Because of poverty, we should work harder!

Believe me, through hard work in the future, you can buy any product on this street. "Zhang Junping encouraged everyone while drawing cakes for everyone.

"Manager, don't make us happy! With our salary, we can't afford the things on the street." Chen Lijun said.

It was really a big blow to them in the Rolex store just now.

With a salary of one hundred and ten yuan a month, it is really shocking to see watches that sell for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

Zhang Junping stopped to talk to them, because he was worried that they would be hit, which would affect the next visit and study.

"I have been telling you that the market for our art company is abroad.

What we have to face is also Western developed countries.

Since this is the case, everyone's wages cannot continue to be implemented in accordance with domestic wage standards.

Just ask, with a salary of tens of hundreds of dollars, but let you work in a foreign country where the average salary is several thousand or tens of thousands of dollars, can you do a good job?
Therefore, after we open up the market in the future, I will report to the superiors and carry out wage reforms with reference to the wage levels of developed countries. "Zhang Junping made the cake more complete and real.

The longing for a salary increase has diluted the slight inferiority complex in everyone's heart.

Next to the Rolex store is the Chanel store.

Zhang Junping walked in with everyone.

Chanel is a French luxury brand that sells a variety of things, such as shoes, hats, bags, clothing, cosmetics, perfumes, and accessories.

Um!Chanel hadn't started selling watches in this era.

After walking around inside, Zhang Junping bought six bottles of perfume and four belts.

"The six beautiful elder sisters each have a bottle of perfume, and the four handsome elder brothers each have a belt. This is my gift to everyone." After Chanel came out, Zhang Junping joked to everyone.

"Manager, this...how embarrassing!" Lou Xinying declined.

"Mr. Lou, if the manager gives it to you, you can take it. Our manager is a rich man.

You haven't seen how natural it is for Section Chief Song and Section Chief Zheng to collect things. "Chen Lijun said with a smile.

"Mr. Lou, Minister Chen is right. Our manager is a rich man, so we can accept it with peace of mind." Song Heping said with a smile after listening to Chen Lijun's words.

"Okay, everyone has something in their hands, and it will be more natural when we visit and study next." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

Zhang Junping took everyone to shop on the Champs Elysees.

Every store will stay inside for a while before leaving.

When passing by a bar, Zhang Junping smiled and said to everyone: "Let's go, I will take you to experience the bar culture in capitalist countries."

Zhang Junping dared to take them into the bar, because this is the Champs-Elysees Avenue, and there is no bar here, which is relatively formal.

Entered the bar, found a relatively large table and sat down.

I ordered a bottle of red wine and a bottle of whiskey.

Red wine was for the girls, he drank whiskey with some men.

This is a music bar, there are many people in the bar, but it is very quiet.

On the stage, someone was playing a guitar and singing French folk songs.

The lyrics are very romantic and the tune is graceful and lingering.

Zhang Junping poured wine for everyone and asked with a smile: "How do you feel tonight?
Do you feel that your values ​​and outlook on life have been impacted, and you feel like you are about to be broken. "

"Manager, I feel that the past 30 years have been wasted."

"This capitalist country is really too prosperous!"

"Can our country develop like them in the future?"

Everyone talked about their feelings today.

"We must have a firm belief that although we are behind now, we will eventually surpass them.

One day, we will also become the most developed country in the world. "Zhang Junping's voice was low, but full of confidence.

Zhang Junping's self-confidence infected everyone, and they all nodded.

"You may feel that what I said is some big truth.

But I still want to say that our work is glorious and great!
Everyone can think about it, we sell artworks abroad to earn foreign exchange.

The country can use these foreign currencies to purchase the industrial equipment and technology we need, as well as the raw materials we are in short supply.

Everything we do today is for the country's industrial construction and for the prosperity of the country.

Therefore, each of us should be proud and proud. "Zhang Junping smiled brightly and sunny.

At this moment, everyone was silent, and everyone was moved by Zhang Junping's words.

"I still say that, what we are engaged in is a glorious and great cause.

As long as everyone works hard together with me, we will be able to realize our ideals.

While realizing the ideal, everyone will also get a rich life. "Zhang Junping said confidently to everyone.

Instilling ideas is actually a process of brainwashing. The simplest and most effective way is to instill your own ideas into the other party's ears over and over again.

What Zhang Junping has been doing is to instill his business philosophy on art companies to everyone.

Everyone was drinking and chatting in the music bar.

Chatting about your first arrival in Paris, and your impressions of those luxury stores.

What Zhang Junping said at the beginning of the first day of junior high school, he basically listened to it afterwards, and occasionally interjected a sentence to guide the rhythm and make the atmosphere more lively.

The discussion continued until very late. After everyone drank two bottles of red wine and two bottles of whiskey, Zhang Junping announced the end.

Check out and leave the bar and go back to the Hilton Hotel.

Back at the hotel, Zhang Junping took a shower and then went to bed.

One of the reasons why Zhang Junping took them to the bar was to allow everyone to talk freely and enliven the atmosphere.

The other one is that everyone drinks some wine, which helps to sleep.

Otherwise, the feeling of jet lag will be difficult.

The next day, after breakfast at the hotel, Zhang Junping called everyone for a short meeting.

The emphasis is still on the discipline of going abroad.

There is no way to do this, as the rules are.

After the meeting, Zhang Junping took everyone to continue to visit the Champs-Elysées, but today's main target is the galleries on the Champs-Elysées.

The first gallery is the Stuart Gallery.

"Sir, good morning, ma'am, what can I do for you?" It was the same well-dressed female shop assistant with a great figure last time.

The female clerk is not very beautiful, but she is very good at makeup, and uses makeup to highlight her own advantages as much as possible.

The words are very gentle and friendly, so Zhang Junping has a deep memory.

"Beautiful lady, we are tourists, come and have a look and appreciate the atmosphere of art!" Zhang Junping smiled and nodded at the female shop assistant.

"Welcome! Please feel free to look, but please don't touch it with your hands.

If you need anything, you can call me anytime! After the female clerk finished speaking, she nodded politely to Zhang Junping, and then went back behind the bar.

"What's the difference between this gallery and our art shop?" Zhang Junping asked everyone with a smile.

"It's bigger than our painting shop! It feels very empty inside."

"It's more convenient to buy paintings here. These paintings are directly hung on the wall, so you can see them at a glance."

"It feels like things here are going to be expensive."

Everyone opened their mouths to express their feelings.

"Everyone take a good look and think about how to arrange our painting shop. Let's discuss it in the evening." Zhang Junping assigned a small task for everyone.

Everyone came here to study, so they are not disgusted with the tasks assigned by Zhang Junping.

Leaving everyone to visit in the gallery, Zhang Junping himself came to the front of the bar.

Take out a note and hand it to the female clerk.

He smiled and said, "Please give this note to your manager and to your boss."

"Sir! Our boss doesn't usually come to the store..." The female clerk took the note, hesitated and didn't know how to answer Zhang Junping.

"You give the note to your manager, and after he reads it, he will know what to do." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

On Zhang Junping's note, the content was very simple, just two words, plain, followed by the phone number in his room.
