My 1991.

Chapter 71, what is awesome

Seeing Lu An breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Wanzhi began to introduce Chen Quan according to his own pace: "Chen Bo was originally a Chinese-American, and he joined Sotheby's Treasury Department in New York in the 60s.

Due to family education, I fell in love with quiet Chinese art.

Especially keen on Zhang Daqian's calligraphy and painting.

Later, he was transferred to the expert department and was in charge of the auction of Sotheby's in New York. At that time, he created an auction record of a Chinese calligraphy and painting with a hammer price of 18 US dollars.

Promoted to North American management in the 70s. In the 80s, he was promoted to the president. Under his vigorous promotion, Chinese artworks gradually gained the initiative in the international market.

Later, Uncle Chen single-handedly established the Chinese art section at Sotheby’s in New York, and then developed into an independent department, completely raising Chinese calligraphy and painting and other works of art in the world to the same international status.”

I thought beforehand that Chen Quan was awesome.

But after listening to these series of introductions, Lu An was completely convinced.This is no longer a bullshit, but a fairy-level figure.

Let’s not talk about other things, if he has single-handedly raised the status of Chinese calligraphy and painting to several levels in the world, then the domestic artists who eat this bowl of rice will thank him.

I don't want to say how deep my gratitude is, but I will always give a little face when I meet it.

This is a huge network, with its own halo.

Lu An restrained the casualness on his face, stood up and refilled a cup of tea for Chen Quan seriously.

Question: "Mr. Chen is now...?"

Chen Quan nodded to him to express his gratitude, and then said: "In accordance with my father's last wish, I have now returned to Chinese nationality, and I am currently working under Guanzhi."

No wonder he is dressed in a Chinese tunic suit, and he seems to be a person who really loves the art of Chinese calligraphy and painting.

But this Yu Wanzhi...it's not easy to let someone like Chen Quan do things for her, right?

Lu An returned to his seat, looked at Yu Wanzhi, and joked half-truthfully:
"It seems that Ms. Yu is well-prepared in order to capture my thousand-mile horse."

Yu Wanzhi smiled gently, took out a thick booklet from the bag, and handed it to him:
"My subordinates run Haibo Gallery and Haibo Auction House. Since it's not convenient for me to come forward, Chen Bo is taking care of them."

Lu Ann took the booklet and read it carefully.

These are specific introductions about Haibo Gallery and Haibo Auction House.

I don't know if I don't look at it, but I was shocked when I saw it, what a handicraft of Ms. Yu!

Although they are all newly established, the total investment is expected to be more than 3000 million.

3000 million in this era!
Lu An's scalp tingled when he thought about it. He said that his net worth in his previous life was about the same.But the times are different, can they be compared?

The more he looked back, the more he had a bottom line in his heart, and at the same time he understood why the other party valued him so much?

In the field of oil painting, they still lack pillars.

The two obviously wanted to recruit themselves into the gallery as pillars.

Thinking of this, he was overjoyed, his mother is not bad, he still knows the goods.

The scene was very quiet for a while, save for the sound of pages being turned.

Yu Wanzhi's aura was stable and he had been drinking tea quietly.

She even took out a small box of tea from her bag and continued to tease herself.

Chen Quan could also bear his temper.It's just that most of the eyes are on Lu An. Although he is very good, in his eyes, Lu An is somewhat mysterious and talented.

So very curious.

Zhou Kun is probably the one with the most fluctuating mind.Now he looks at Lu An with envy and hatred. Others don't know the situation in Wan Zhi's house.

Doesn't he understand that he has been a dog licker for more than ten years?

If Lu An really reached a cooperation with Guanzhi, it would be really lucky, and God will chase after him.

Lu An didn't know Zhou Kun's imagination.

He looked through the booklet calmly for about 20 minutes, and finally finished reading the booklet, then closed it and put it back on the coffee table.

Yu Wanzhi raised his head at the right time, and asked with a smile, "What do you think, Mr. Lu?"

LuAnn nodded, "Okay!"

This is what he said from the bottom of his heart.

Yu Wanzhi folded his hands on his knees and asked softly, "Would Mr. Lu be willing to join galleries and auction houses to display his talents and strive for a better future for himself?"

Lu Ann was a little surprised when he heard it, and he could understand it when he joined the gallery.

As for the auction house? ? ?
As if seeing his doubts, Yu Wanzhi said: "Haibo Auction House has its own oil painting department, and the consultant position in it is very suitable for Mr. Lu."

Got it!Some words are easy to understand.

This woman is very ambitious and wants to tie herself to death in her carriage.

Looking at the extremely beautiful face of the other party, Lu An secretly complained: If you tie me up like this, you are not afraid that the carriage will overturn one day
He pondered for a while, and then asked directly: "If I join the gallery and auction house, what conditions can you offer me?"

Hearing this, Yu Guanzhi and Chen Quan looked at each other, as if to say: Look, the analysis is correct. Although Lu An is only 18 years old, he is a master who does not see the rabbit and does not cast the eagle.

The woman unhurriedly opened the bag, took out another document from it, and gently placed it in front of him:
"Joining galleries and auction houses, we pay Mr. Lu a basic salary of 2000 yuan per month.

The share of your works with galleries and auction houses is 5:5,

If an oil painting sells for US$10 at an auction house, Mr. Lu can earn US$5.This is after-tax income.

The remaining $5 goes to the gallery and auction house. "

Fearing that Lu An was a newcomer who didn't understand the market, Yu Wanzhi even went out of his way to explain the way to him:

“I run a gallery and an auction house, and most of the $5 goes towards covering costs.

For example, industrial tax, publicity expenses, sales staff commission, business income tax, art exhibition fees and some other expenses, these expenses probably account for about 70%-80%. "

At this point, she paused, and said with a gentle smile: "But then again, if Mr. Lu becomes a world-renowned top artist in the future, then this contract will not apply.

At that time, galleries and auction houses will only get 3% or 4% or less of the auction revenue of paintings, depending on the actual situation in the future. "

There is a saying in the gallery industry, which is: [-]% to [-]% can only barely make ends meet, and [-]% to [-]% of the gallery will go bankrupt.

Of course, this sentence only applies to well-known painters, not those at the top of the pyramid whose paintings are worth millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.
