Chapter 287 Wenzhou Street Visit

Zhang Junping didn't speak any more, but just looked at Jason Grace quietly.

Jason Grace, who watched, felt a little hairy.

"Mr. Zhang, this is really the lowest price! This manor has a history of more than 200 years, and the first owner was a count of the Kingdom of France.

Later, after the owner of the manor took over the manor, he carried out a lot of modernization to make the ancient manor more livable.

The most important thing is that these renovations did not destroy the classical style of the entire manor. Such manors are very sought-after throughout Europe. "Jason Grace patiently explained the history of the manor.

"Since such a nice manor is very popular, how can it be cheaper for me as a foreigner?" Zhang Junping looked at Jason Grace with interest.

"Mr. Zhang, this can only be said to be your luck. You called this manor just after it was announced."

"Hehe! I'm a foreigner, but I'm not a fool." Zhang Junping shook his head.

"Mr. Zhang, if you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do! I really feel that this manor is suitable for you!" Jason Grace continued to defend.

"Jason Grace, huh?

We probably haven't reached an entrusted sale agreement yet, right? "

"No! We can sign the entrusted sales agreement now! If you are not satisfied with this manor, I can introduce you to other manors or villas in the city." Jason Grace said hastily.

"That's good!" Zhang Junping picked up the phone after finishing speaking, and dialed out.

"Please help me find Mr. Stuart, I am Zhang Junping from China!"

"Oh! Dear Zhang, what do you want from me? Do you want to have a drink or two at night? I have many hot and passionate beauties here!" George Fairborn laughed and said on the phone.

"Mr. Stuart!"

"Mr. Zhang, please call me George! My friends call me that, I think we should be friends now, right?"

"You are right! George, I would like to inquire about it. Not far from your manor, there is an earl's manor that is said to have a history of more than 200 years and is for sale.

Do you know what is the hidden problem behind it? "Zhang Junping asked straight to the point.

"Oh! That manor you mentioned!
What a coincidence, that manor is Boris' manor! "George Fairburne laughed.

"Just now a real estate agent told me that the manor was sold for 3 million French francs. I wonder if there is any hidden problem behind it?" Zhang Junping secretly thought it was a coincidence, and then asked.

The building that Zhang Junping bought turned out to be the property of Boris Hadibes.

"There are no other problems, but someone let out the wind that his former competitors didn't want him to get out of the predicament so easily, or hoped that he would die simply.

You know, sometimes business competition is so cruel.Not everyone is as kind, fair, and rule-abiding as I am. "George Fairborn smiled easily.

"I understand!" Zhang Junping nodded.

"Dear Zhang, are you going to buy that manor?"

"That's right! I wanted to be neighbors with you, George, but this happened." Zhang Junping didn't hide anything, and said with a smile.

"It's good to be a neighbor! Dear Zhang, I'll help you win the Earl's Manor with two copies, and I promise that there will be no future troubles." George Fairborn said with a big laugh.

"Two flat pieces, George, you're too dark, aren't you?"

"Hi! Dear Zhang, I didn't say no money! Everything is carried out according to our contract, you just give me two more works to improve.

10 million French francs, I will help you buy the earl's manor and solve the hidden troubles behind it. "George Fairburne said with a smile.

"Deal!" Zhang Junping agreed decisively.

"Excellent!" George Fairborn hung up the phone with a smile.

"Mr. Jason, I'm really sorry to make you come here for nothing!" Zhang Junping said as he took out a hundred francs from his wallet and handed it to Jason Grace.

Jason Grace heard the call just now very clearly. The master who could talk directly to the boss who lived in the manor, he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he could only leave with a tip of one hundred francs.

Who asked him to conceal the information and wanted to deceive others? They didn't bother him and gave him a tip of [-] francs, which was enough benevolence and righteousness.

Sending away the real estate economy, Zhang Junping sat on the sofa, thinking that he owed eight fake oil paintings without knowing it.

It's like an online writer, who opens his eyes every day, good guy, what's the matter, he owes a [-]-word novel draft first.

No, absolutely not in arrears.

Zhang Junping took out an easel, canvas, dyes, palette, brushes, and a painting album published by the Louvre from the space.

This album contains the works of ten outstanding modern artists.

Just follow the picture above.

Zhang Junping casually turned to a page of the album, which was Rubens' masterpiece "The Rape of the Daughter of Leucipas".

"Well, this work is good, I like it." Zhang Junping nodded secretly while admiring the photos in the album.

"The Rape of the Daughter of Leucipas" is a work full of violent aesthetics.

After careful study, Zhang Junping began to paint, of course not forgetting to leave hidden marks in the painting.

I really don't know what those senior masters who made imitations thought, insisting on leaving their own mark on the imitation works.

Is it for the sake of fame, or for the pursuit of the Dao?

Tianyan fifty, avenue 49, escape one?

Stay on the front line for everything, so we can meet again in the future?
He didn't know what those seniors thought, anyway, he was trying to make a name for himself.

Why George Fairburn is so polite to him is because his skill is a big killer, and it is a nuclear bomb for calligraphy and painting collectors.

It's okay to leave the word "plain imitation". If Zhang Junping is willing, he can get a batch of unmarked ones and put them directly in the market. They will definitely be fried.

All oil painting collections, the price will plummet.

For the same work, there are two identical works on the market. It can also be explained that the artist painted two works, and one is a draft. Such reasons are barely explained.

If there are ten identical oil paintings on the market for the same oil painting, there is no way to explain it.

Do collectors really like oil paintings?I'm afraid it's more for decoration and value preservation and appreciation.

Once ten identical works appear, it is easy to cause panic, which in turn leads to a sharp drop in the price of oil paintings in the entire market.

This kind of thing happened several times before the Republic of China.

The famous Zhou Fang, Zheng Fang, and Qian Fang are all such famous names.

Thinking about it this way, my situation seems a bit dangerous.

If he hadn't reached a consensus with George Fairburn, it is estimated that the gunman who would assassinate him would have been in ambush for four weeks.

Just wait for him to go out.

boom!
One shot.

After Zhang Junping finished painting "The Rape of Leucipas' Daughter", he sat on the sofa, thinking wildly.

These things can't be said to be wild thoughts, they really have to be guarded against.

Although a consensus has been reached with George Fairburn, what about the others?

Do you think that if you control yourself and force yourself to draw a picture every day, it will cost millions of dollars, which is more profitable than selling flour.

As for the domestic bigwigs, will they control themselves and turn them into a foreign exchange earning machine?

This Zhang Junping is really not worried, and his father-in-law is not a vegetarian either.

The old head of the old father-in-law is even more awesome.

Calculated in this way, the old man is not ordinary.

Don't be afraid of those ghosts and monsters.

As for the big bosses, their structure is not so small, every move of the big bosses will be accompanied by wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and all kinds of visions.

Millions, tens of millions, and hundreds of millions of dollars may seem like a lot to an individual, but once it reaches the national level, it is not a big amount, let alone in the eyes of big bosses.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Junping prepared to draw another picture, then took a shower and went to sleep.

Standing up, he picked up the album and flipped through it. Zhang Junping couldn't help laughing. It seems that today he has a relationship with Rubens, and it is Rubens' masterpiece: "Pastoral Scenery".

It is really an idyllic scene between the mistress and the farmhand.

I just like Rubens's spirit of seeking truth from facts and daring to be realistic, but it's a pity that it is a bit too reserved.

Zhang Junping, who originally thought about painting one painting, just took a shower and slept, became interested. After painting "Pastoral Scenery", he painted two more paintings, which can be regarded as a sequel for Rubens.

The main reason is that I am a little tired today, otherwise I have to complete 36 sequels.

Don't worry, continue tomorrow.

After the 36 form, there is still a 72 form, so take your time.

Anyway, now that I am abroad, I don’t have to worry about being criticized as a vulgar art.

No wonder so many young artists have gone abroad one after another. The free air abroad can stimulate creative inspiration.

After painting two sequels of "Pastoral Scenery", Zhang Junping took a bath and went to sleep.

The next day, after breakfast, Zhang Junping carved a greeting card with the wood in the space.

Today he is going to Wenzhou Street in Paris to visit the Chinese leaders there.

Paris has Chinatown and Wenzhou Street.

Relatively speaking, the scale of Chinatown is larger, but Wenzhou Street is more distinctive and worthy of respect.

Chinatown in Paris is a Chinese city composed of Chinese refugees from Southeast Asia.

Wenzhou Street is mainly a group of 180,000 Chinese laborers and descendants of the expeditionary forces during World War I, composed of several small blocks.

Because the people who stayed there were mainly Wenzhou people, the street where the Chinese in the third arrondissement of Paris lived was also called Wenzhou Street.

After writing the greeting card, Zhang Junping rode a bicycle to the third block.

In the third block, along a narrow alley, came to a villa and rang the doorbell.

After a while, an old man in a pair of cardigans opened the small door and came out.

"Young man, who are you looking for?" Seeing that Zhang Junping is Chinese, the old man asked in strong Wenzhou Mandarin.

"Hi, Zhang Junping came to Paris after the end of school. He came to Paris for business from China. He heard about Mr. Yang's name, so he came here to pay a visit!" Zhang Junping handed the greeting card to the old man.

Seeing that Zhang Junping was so formal, the old man in the short shirt quickly stood up, took the greeting card with both hands, "Little brother, wait a moment, I will ask the master for instructions."

After a short time coming, the old man in short shirt came out, opened the door, clasped his fists at Zhang Junping respectfully and said: "Young old man has no eyes, you have neglected sir, please make amends!

Sir please come in! "

"You're welcome, old man!" Zhang Junping returned the salute with clasped fists, and then followed the old man in the short shirt into the villa.

This villa doesn't look very eye-catching from the outside, but when you enter the inside, you will find something special.

No wonder later generations called Wenzhou Street a street built on Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Zangzhuo, this point is really in place.

A white-haired old man in brocade and Tang suit stood at the door, and seeing Zhang Junping coming in, he laughed and clasped his fists and said, "Your guest is coming, I'm sorry to welcome you, Haihan, Haihan!"

"Old Yang, you are really a shameful junior.

The younger generation took the liberty to come to the door, and I hope that Mr. Yang will not blame him! Zhang Junping hurriedly cupped his fists in return.

"Little friend, you are being polite. I am too happy to be able to see Junjie from China in a foreign country. Is there any reason to blame him?

Inside please! "

"Mr. Yang, please!"

After entering the room, the guests and hosts are seated.

Mr. Yang's living room still follows the layout of the traditional Chinese living room.

"Little friend came to Paris for business, is it going well?" Old man Yang asked proactively when the old man in short shirt served tea to Zhang Junping.

The reason why Zhang Junping came to visit Mr. Yang was also instructed by the embassy.

Although Mr. Yang was born in Paris, he spent his childhood and youth in China.

I have also received traditional Chinese education since I was a child, and I have been influenced by traditional culture.

Although he is abroad, he has always cared about the motherland and is a proper mango person.

During the Anti-Japanese War, he also donated materials to the country many times and was a famous patriotic businessman.

"Thanks to Mr. Yang, things are going well so far."

"What kind of department is the China Artwork Company in my friend's invitation? Forgive me for my shallow knowledge. It seems that I have never heard of this department."

"Mr. Yang, you are laughing, China Artwork Company was established just after the year, and its predecessor was BJ's painting shop.

Our main purpose is to promote Chinese traditional culture and let the world understand China.

There are three things to do when I come to Paris. The first is to bring my colleagues from the art company to Paris, a city known as the art capital, to experience it and learn from other people's advanced experience.

The second is to contact and organize the European Tour Exhibition of Chinese Traditional Arts and Crafts.

The third thing is to prepare to open a gallery and an art store in Paris.

At present, these three things have basically been settled. "Zhang Junping smiled and explained the origin of the art company, and also explained his purpose of coming to Paris by the way.

After listening to Zhang Junping's words, Old Man Yang realized that today he was simply here to visit him, without any other requests.

"Then let me congratulate you first!

When the touring exhibition of arts and crafts begins, I will definitely bring my old friends to join in. "

"Mr. Yang, our art company bought a three-story facade building near Charles de Gaulle Square, and it is going to be renovated and opened recently.

At that time, I hope that Old Yang can go over and suppress the scene. "Zhang Junping took advantage of the situation and expressed his intention of coming.

Art companies, to put it bluntly, are doing business for the rich.

Rich people have their own circles, and Zhang Junping came here this time hoping to get in touch with the wealthy Chinese circles.

In addition to the two reasons mentioned above, there is another reason for visiting Mr. Yang, which is that Wenzhou Street is a neighborhood of wealthy Chinese, which does not show mountains and dews.

There are more rich people than Chinatown in No.13 and No.14 neighborhoods.

Hearing this, he directly bought a three-story facade building near Charles de Gaulle Square, and the importance he attached to China Artwork Company instantly increased several levels.

"Okay! At that time, I will definitely go to join in!" Mr. Yang said with a big smile.

"That's it, this junior will thank Old Man Yang!" Zhang Junping cupped his fists in thanks.

"Little friend, you are being polite. Looking at the words on the little friend's greeting card, it is elegant and unrestrained, with strength piercing the back of the paper, like flying dragons and phoenixes. I think it is a master from a famous master."

"Mr. Yang is too much, my teacher is Mr. Baishi!"

"Sure enough, Mr. Baishi is a modern master. I was fortunate to have visited Mr. Baishi. Now that I think about it, Mr. Baishi's voice and smile are still in front of my eyes." Old Yang stroked his beard and said with emotion.

"Looking at Xiaoyou's words, could it be that Yuan Bo is the respected master?" Elder Yang asked again.

"Mr. Yuanbo is my uncle, and my master is Mr. Minghe." Zhang Junping explained.

"It turns out that little friend is Wu Minghe's apprentice. In this way, our relationship has taken another step. My brother Minghe and I have also met a few times.

He and Yuan Bo are even more inseparable.

In the early years, I heard that Uncle Yuan had suffered a catastrophe.

I don't know, how is Uncle Yuan doing? "The smile on Old Yang's face was even more cordial.

"Mr. Yuan Bo, now that the disaster stars have receded, the lucky stars are shining brightly.

She lives in seclusion in BJ and concentrates on studying literature.

I think it won't be long before I return to Beijing Normal University to teach and educate people. Zhang Junping smiled and told Mr. Yang about Qi Gong's recent situation.

"Okay, okay! This is the best news I've heard in recent years." Old Yang stroked his beard and laughed.

It can be seen that he is really happy for the situation of his old friend.

"Mr. Yang, what if the country is already different! The chief designer put forward the instructions of reform and opening up, and adhere to the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Today, there is an urgent need for patriotic businessmen like Mr. Yang to return to China to invest and support the country's economic construction. Zhang Junping smiled and extended an invitation to Mr. Yang.

"Okay! Okay! I've wanted to go back and have a look a long time ago!" Old Yang said with a nod of his beard and a smile.

"I believe that Mr. Yang will not be disappointed when he goes back! A different China has begun to rise." Zhang Junping said confidently.

"The garrison drum cuts off the walking of people, and the sound of wild geese in autumn.

Lu Cong is white tonight, and the moon is the hometown.

Brothers are scattered, and there is no family to ask about death or life.

Sending books often does not arrive, and the situation is that the army has not been suspended.

The old man has long wanted to go back to China to visit his relatives, but he is too timid to ask anyone. "Old Yang said with some sadness.

"Old Yang, the touring exhibition of traditional Chinese arts and crafts will start in July.

At that time, I will definitely persuade Mr. Yuan Bo to participate in the touring exhibition, and then you old friends will be able to meet each other.

Who knows how to look forward to the thunderstorm when you are far away, and return to your hometown in spring next year.

It's not too late to make a decision after meeting Mr. Yuan Bo. "Zhang Junping knew what Elder Yang was worried about, so he didn't persuade him much, just said with a smile.

　Chapter 1, there is another chapter tonight.

　　Ask for a monthly pass.
