Zhang Junping said that he is a toddler in HD, but he is not modest.

Rather, his current real situation.

He acquired various skills in a way similar to enlightenment.

The advantage of this is that as long as the skill level of the past dynasties does not exceed the intermediate level, he can perfectly imitate it.

However, a skill is a skill, it is not a skill that has been practiced and comprehended by oneself, and has no soul of its own.

In other words, Zhang Junping's works have no style of their own.

Now Zhang Junping has only perfectly accepted the skills and can use them proficiently, but he has not really become his own, and has not formed his own mark.

It takes a lot of practice to digest the skills and truly make them your own.

This is like Xu Zhu in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, he has profound inner strength and knows many exquisite moves, but he doesn't master them well.

"Mr. Zhang is too modest. Your picture of ladies is the essence of Tang Yin's pictures of ladies. If Mr. Zhang changes the inscription and postscript, at least in terms of painting skills, no one will be able to tell the real thing from the imitation." Qiao Dan. Penniman's face also softened, and he put on a respectful tone, and said to Zhang Junping in fluent Mandarin.

Capable people are always easy to be respected and forgiven.

Zhang Junping was shocked, for a foreign devil, he had studied Chinese ink painting so deeply that he could tell that his portrait of a lady was imitated by Tang Yin.

In the history of China, although Tang Yin was not the best painter of paintings of ladies, he was still in the forefront.

Of course, there are still pictures of ladies who are better, such as Zhou Fang.Every picture of Zhou Fang's ladies is a national treasure-level calligraphy and painting, and he can't imitate it.

This is not important, what is important is that a foreign devil has such an in-depth study of Chinese landscape painting and can speak fluent Chinese.

Conspiracy theorists, the first thing that comes to mind is: what does this foreign devil want?
Could it be that the heart of China is not dead?
"I didn't expect that Mr. Penniman not only has a profound research on Chinese ink and painting, but also speaks Chinese so well, especially this mandarin, which is more fluent than most Chinese people." Zhang Junping praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Jordan's ancestors were missionaries, and three generations of grandparents have stayed in China for nearly a hundred years, and they were once appointed officials by the Chinese emperor.

Although Jordan has never been to China, he has learned Chinese culture from his grandfather since he was a child, and is proficient in Chinese calligraphy and ink painting. He has also traveled to China for study tours. "George Fairborn introduced with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang won the prize. In comparison, Mr. Zhang's French is also very fluent. Such a young man is not only proficient in Chinese ink painting, but also proficient in Western oil painting. He is really talented and admirable." Jordan Penniman has a model He clasped his fists at Zhang Junping in a kind way.

He is really a Chinese hand, even the clapping ceremony is such a standard.

It is also understandable that Jordan Penneman's grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-grandfather have been preaching in China for three consecutive generations, and even served as an official in the Qing court. It is normal for him to be familiar with Chinese culture.

"Mr. Penniman is over the award! It's just a fluke and some achievements." Zhang Junping said with a flat smile.

Men, it doesn't matter what talent is, the key is to have hooks.

"Mr. Zhang, I am personally very interested in traditional Chinese art, including calligraphy and painting. I wonder if there is a chance to work together." Jordan Pennyman said with a smile.

"I don't know how Mr. Pennyman plans to cooperate?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile, his heart moved.

"I heard from George that your company plans to open a gallery and art company on the Champs Elysees.

In fact, artworks are different from others. Every gallery has its own fixed client base.

Instead of your company opening a gallery and art company by itself, it is better to entrust it to us.

Just like some luxury stores now, some are self-operated stores of luxury companies, and some are franchise stores.

We can cooperate in the form of franchise stores.

It is also possible to register a company as a joint venture, and then this company will operate the artwork. "Jordan Pennyman said his plan slowly.

It can be seen that this idea is not a temporary idea. It is estimated that after George Fairburn brought back his conditions yesterday, Jordan Penniman had some such ideas.

Zhang Junping's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the pros and cons.

Jordan Pennyman is right in saying that the customer base of artworks is relatively fixed.

Those capitalists who are really capable of consuming art are the ones.

Buying art abroad is an investment behavior, and many countries have introduced related art tax credit policies.

When collectors buy art collections, they pay more attention to its value-preserving and value-added functions.

Since the consideration is to maintain and increase the value, when consumers buy artworks, they naturally choose old-fashioned art stores and art stores with high reputation.

This is also the main reason why people like George Fairburn and Jordan Pennyman hold their noses and want to hype mediocrity.

As a former collector, Zhang Junping had already considered such a situation.

There are also countermeasures, that is, every commodity sold by galleries and art stores can sign value preservation and premium recovery contracts.

For example, if you buy a painting from a gallery and sign a value preservation and premium recovery contract, the company promises to recover it at 120% of the purchase price after one or three years.

Of course, you can also trade on your own.

In fact, many luxury goods are playing such a routine.

There are also disadvantages in doing so, that is Jordan Pennyman in front of him.

Now that Jordan Pennyman has proposed cooperation, if Zhang Junping disagrees, it is inevitable that the other party will not make small moves behind the scenes.

As a veteran art dealer, it can be said that the whole of France and even the whole of Europe is his territory.

If you really want to make small moves, it's really hard to guard against.

Zhang Junping cursed inwardly: What an old fox, the timing is really good.

"Mr. Penniman, cooperate in the form of franchise, how to cooperate specifically?

How to cooperate specifically in the form of a joint venture? Zhang Junping asked with a smile.

"It's easy to cooperate in the form of a franchise store. For example, for Mr. Zhang's work, let's jointly agree on a sales range price.

If the price is within the range, if it is sold, what proportion will be divided into it.

If it is sold at a price beyond the range, what price will be divided.

As for the joint venture, it is natural that you and I jointly fund and form a company to operate Chinese artworks.

This co-financing can include sales channels, as well as supply channels. "Jordan Pennyman said with a smile.

This further strengthened Zhang Junping's thoughts just now.

All this was premeditated.

The two cooperation plans mentioned by Penniman both have hidden pitfalls.

"Mr. Penniman, I am more optimistic about the cooperation method of franchise stores.

The selling price shall be subject to the price set by us, and we will supply Mr. Penniman at 30.00% of the selling price.

Must be a cash transaction.

Of course, as a guarantee of rights and interests, each piece of artwork in our company has an independent number and a corresponding value preservation and appreciation contract.

All products sold by our company have contracts, promising to maintain and increase value and recycle.

Taking three years as a stage, our company promises to recycle at the original price after three years.

Five years, 120 percent recycling.

Ten years, 170 percent recycling.

The original price here refers to the retail price required by our company.

In this way, Mr. Penniman, if you open a store and buy goods, even if you don’t sell one piece, you can still get a 30.00% profit after three years. "Zhang Junping said to Penniman relaxedly, holding a cup of black tea without any condiments.

"A [-]% annual premium?" George Fairburne said with emotion.

"Mr. Stuart may calculate it that way. However, allow for the deduction of the profits paid to Mr. Penniman.

Within three years, our company only promises to repurchase at 70.00%, [-], [-]% of the original price.

Only after more than three years can you enjoy the right to repurchase with value preservation and appreciation.

I mean, can Mr. Stuart understand? Zhang Junping explained with a smile.

"understand.

How can you guarantee that your promises will be fulfilled? "George Fairburne nodded and continued to ask.

Jordan Pennyman kept winking at George Fairburn, but unfortunately he didn't see it.

"The galleries and art shops on the Champs-Elysées will serve as our company's directly-operated stores.

These two directly-operated stores are a guarantee!

In addition, our China Artwork Company is not an individual company, but a state-owned enterprise.

What kind of state-owned enterprises exist, Mr. Stuart should know, right?
We represent the national image and national reputation. "Zhang Junping said domineeringly.

"Okay! I understand!" George Fairburne nodded in satisfaction.

Jordan Pennyman gritted his teeth angrily. His plan was disrupted by George Fairburne.

"Mr. Zhang, it seems inappropriate for you to open a self-operated store on the Champs Elysees, right?

This is our basic market. It is not appropriate for you to open a self-operated store in our home and let us open a store outside, right? "Jordan Pennyman said with a forced smile.

Zhang Junping did not speak, but glanced at George Fairburn, and then pointed to Christina and the others who were fighting with each other.

It means to tell Jordan Penniman that I opened a shop on the Champs-Elysees because of the terms negotiated with George Fairborn, and I got it in exchange for benefits.

It has nothing to do with the cooperation you mentioned.

"Mr. Zhang, I think the previous agreement can be terminated.

Let's talk about a new way of cooperation.

You can entrust us with Chinese works of art, and we promise to sell them at a high price so that Mr. Zhang will not suffer.

As Mr. Zhang said, China Artworks belongs to the state.

The money to buy is also state.

But we cooperate, and the money we earn is our own.

It's a win-win cooperation, isn't it? "Jordan Penniman also stopped going around in circles, and said straight to the point.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in the cooperation you mentioned.

I'm not short of money!

To put it bluntly, with my skills and painting skills, money is just a number to me.

If Mr. Penniman wants to cooperate, then cooperate according to the plan I just mentioned.

Of course, you now also have the right to terminate the previous cooperation and terminate the negotiation.

This is your right.

As I said before, France was not my only option.

Bald Eagle's Fifth Avenue in New York, Oxford Street in England, Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich and so on.

All can be our choice!

However, by that time, imitation will no longer be exclusive to you.

I believe that there are many art dealers in the world who are willing to provide us with better services in exchange for the exclusive right of imitation. "Zhang Junping smiled lightly.

"Mr. Zhang, don't forget, this is Paris, and this is the Stuart Manor!" Jordan Penniman said dangerously.

"I know! What's the matter?

Mr. Penniman wants to tell me that if I don't satisfy you, I won't be able to get out of this manor?
Mr. Penniman, today's China is not the Qing government 100 years ago. The experience left by your ancestors is outdated. "Zhang Junping said with a faint smile.

"calm down!

Mr. Zhang, Jordan didn't mean that!
Stuart Manor is mine, and Mr. Zhang is my most honored guest.

Even if cooperation fails, we can still be friends. "George Fairburne hurriedly stood up to smooth things over.

He glanced at Jordan Pennyman lightly and warned him not to mess around.

Jordan Penniman gave George Fairburn a hard look. If you hadn't interjected, would I have used threats?
Zhang Junping stopped talking and drank his tea quietly. He has said everything that needs to be said, and expressed everything that needs to be expressed.

Next, it depends on how they choose.

Is it a win-win cooperation, or a fight and a touch.

Perhaps noticing the situation here, the lawyers of both parties who were negotiating temporarily suspended the negotiation and looked at their respective bosses.

The consensus between the bosses is the basis for their negotiations.

If the boss's talk has collapsed, then there is no need for them to continue the talk.

"Mr. Zhang, I think we should cooperate according to the terms we discussed yesterday.

As for the cooperation mentioned by Jordan just now, it is different from yesterday's cooperation. "George Fairburn waved his hand at his lawyer again and again, indicating to continue, and said to Zhang Junping with a bright smile.

Zhang Junping also gave Christina a continuing look.

"Since Mr. Stuart said so, let's continue yesterday's cooperation.

The rest will be discussed later. "Zhang Junping laughed.

Next, everyone no longer talked about the cooperation of franchise stores, but just chatted about some historical anecdotes and the international economic situation.

Zhang Junping is not afraid of talking about this, or in other words, as long as he is a BJ master, he is not afraid of talking about this.

There are so many books in Zhang Junping's space, it's not enough to describe his knowledge reserve with "study rich five cars".

Whether it's the history of France, the history of rival Prussia, or the history of pig teammate Italy, Zhang Junping knows it all at his fingertips.

Seeing the boss start chatting, Christina and the others also accelerated the process.

Zhang Junping and the others chatted for more than half an hour, and Christina and the other party's lawyer came over together.

"Boss, we've already talked. Here's the summary. You can read it." Christina walked up to Zhang Junping, handed him a piece of paper, and whispered the report.

Zhang Junping took it over and took a look. These are the rights and obligations in the excerpted contract, as well as matters that need special attention.

Don't look, there are dozens of pages in the contract, but the useful content is only one page.

Of course, it cannot be said that other clauses are useless. Other clauses are interpreted in various laws and judicial languages ​​to maintain the content on this page.

In the eyes of lawyers, every law has loopholes.

The meaning of the existence of lawyers is to find out these loopholes and fill them with other legal clauses and judicial interpretations.

Otherwise, being a lawyer abroad is a very popular profession.

Because, in a foreign country, whether you live, work, or do business, you cannot do without a lawyer.

When watching foreign movies and TV shows, there is often a line: You talk to my lawyer.

This is a very real thing, because you don't know when you will break the law.

Therefore, it is really difficult to move a single step abroad without a lawyer.

Of course, some poor people in foreign countries are basically in a bad state. They can't afford a lawyer, and naturally they don't need a lawyer.

Because their choice is: show bad.

There are two contracts in total, and Zhang Junping said he has no opinion after reading it.

The three of George Fairburn also expressed no opinion.

Both parties signed and stamped on it.

Private seals also have legal effect.

"Wish we can co-operate well!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Zhang Junping and George Fairburn shook hands respectively.

"Mr. Stuart, I hope to organize a touring exhibition of traditional Chinese arts and crafts in the near future, preferably this summer.

In addition, I hope that before I return to China, I can confirm the store on the Champs Elysees. "Zhang Junping stated his request directly.

"No problem! I will arrange someone tomorrow to help Mr. Zhang find a suitable store.

In addition, our media will also warm up the Chinese traditional arts and crafts exhibition.

July is a sunny season, and everyone will love to watch exhibitions in the air-conditioned exhibition hall. "George Fairburne promised with a smile.

"July is a fiery season, and it is also the most charming season for the Champs Elysees." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

George Fairburn clapped his hands, and the butler walked in with a servant pushing a small cart.

On the trolley was a bottle of decanted champagne and wine glasses arranged in the shape of a pagoda.

"Mr. Zhang, let's have a toast together and wish our cooperation a complete success."

With a bang, George Fairborn opened the champagne and poured the wine from the top of the pagoda.

After a bottle of wine was completely poured out, George Fairborn picked up the top two glasses of wine and handed Zhang Junping a glass.

"Naturally, I sincerely hope that our cooperation will be a complete success." Zhang Junping took the wine glass with a smile, touched the three of them with George Fairburn, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm actually very interested in your cooperation plan.

Let's talk later! "George Fairburn whispered to Zhang Junping.

"Talk back!" Zhang Junping raised his glass as a gesture.
