I got excited. I saw my ex-girlfriend sitting across from me on a blind date.

Chapter 319: Throwing bricks to attract others

The two went to the third floor of the oil painting studio work area.

This is a large office. There are two managers in the office. One is Manager Wang, as the staff said.

Another one was a beautiful woman wearing a women's suit.

With the call from the staff just now, Manager Wang was very polite when he saw Lin Zhengran and Zhang Lan.

Seems to know some of their strengths.

After all, as long as the people below make phone calls, the guests will be either rich or expensive.

And when Manager Wang saw Lin Zhengran for the first time, he actually felt that he had some indescribable artistic aura?

He stood up and made a gesture of invitation:

"Hello guests, please take a seat."

Lin Zhengran said hello to the other party, and the three of them sat on the sofa to discuss.

Manager Wang: "Let's get straight to the point. The person below me said that you two want to hang your oil paintings in the display area of ​​our oil painting gallery? Do you want to auction them?"

Therefore, even Lin Zhengran thinks that the commercial value of a good oil painting should start at least 50,000 yuan.

Because even if he is not a professional appraiser, he can still tell that this oil painting is valuable by working here all year round.

Zhang Lan held Lin Zhengran's arm: "What is the auction system here?"

Lin Zhengran didn't know why he didn't reward him when he was looking at the painting at home, but now he suddenly rewarded him.

Lin Zhengran: "You really fell asleep? Are you lazy?"

After unpacking the simple outer packaging, the oil painting of the prairie girl was clearly displayed on the table.

[Two points of energy can reduce your daily mental fatigue by 30%]

Zhang Lan thought for a while, without elaborating, just replied: "It's a bit high."

Manager Wang smiled: "That's the case. After all, we are here mainly for display, so let me take a look at the painting first? I can evaluate the value of the oil painting for free for you two."

Did Xiaocai just fall asleep?

Xiao Cai vomited the snake letter in her mind: "Hee hee, hiss~"

[Xiao Cai has detected that the oil painting level of Zhang Lan you cultivated has reached the professional level, and will give you a tenfold rebate to the level of a national oil painting master]

Before Lin Zhengran could say anything, Xiao Cai's reward arrived inexplicably.

Of course, this price is just a guarantee, because things like oil paintings can be infinitely increased based on the popularity of the creator.

Manager Wang: "That's right. We here are mainly for display and appreciation, so if you two want to auction, we will hang your oil paintings in the display area. If a customer likes it and tells the price and you are willing to sell it, then you can sell it. , and if the guest doesn’t mention it, our staff will not take the initiative to promote it.”

[Xiao Cai will reward you with an extra point of energy points - your current energy points total two points, and the upper limit of energy points is ten]

That's true.

At this moment, Manager Wang was shocked when he saw the oil painting displayed by Lin Zhengran.

Lin Zhengran's current oil painting level is at least that of a twenty-year-old oil painting master and a folk oil painting master.

Manager Wang: "In addition, if it is successfully sold, our oil painting studio will also take 25%. But even if it is not sold, we will also charge a basic display fee of 10,000 yuan."

Lin Zhengran took out the oil painting.

Many times the painting is not valuable, but the name of the creator is.

Xiaocai: "No way, Ranran is so fierce~ Just now Ranran was making out with Sister Lanlan, I can't disturb her."

Manager Wang held it carefully and looked at it: "This is not bad, but judging from the dryness of the ink, this is still a new painting?"

Zhang Lan smiled: "What price can you estimate?"

Manager Wang looked at the two people and looked very unfamiliar: "Can I ask first, which famous artist is this work by? Or is it created by two people?"

Zhang Lan said bluntly: "I created it. I have a lot of research on oil painting, so I painted this."

Manager Wang nodded and had an idea in his mind: "In this case, this lady's level is really quite high."

He estimated that this painting could definitely be sold for RMB 100,000. The details and the style of the painting...

As long as you do a little marketing, 100,000 yuan is guaranteed, or even 150,000 yuan is no problem.

Manager Wang smiled and said:

"I estimate that this oil painting is worth about 50,000 yuan. If you put the price of 50,000 yuan, there should be customers willing to pay for it. If you two are willing to exhibit it at a price of 50,000 yuan, I am willing to pay for such a work out of my own pocket, 1% of the exhibition fee. There will be no additional charges for RMB 10,000.”

Although it sounds quite affordable. But why doesn’t Zhang Lan know what the other person is thinking?

He deliberately suppressed the situation, firstly to take advantage, and secondly because he wanted to see the attitude between himself and his senior.

But Zhang Lan didn't care about the 50,000 yuan. She came today just to increase her visibility.

Zhang Lan thought carefully about what he said in Lin Zhengran's ear. After Lin Zhengran agreed, Zhang Lan spoke: "Fifty thousand is fine, and I want to say that if the painting cannot be sold after the exhibition, I am willing to give this painting to your museum free of charge."

Manager Wang was very surprised: "What?! If you can't sell it, give it to us for free? Are you serious?"

These two people are actually willing to give away such a work for free?

Zhang Lan nodded: "Seriously."

Manager Wang smiled happily and said: "Then I will bring the contract over now and we will sign it. From this afternoon to eight o'clock in the evening, this painting will be on display in our oil painting gallery."

Zhang Lan nodded again: "Okay."

After speaking, Manager Wang shook hands with Lin Zhengran and then with Zhang Lan, although Lin Zhengran didn't speak during the whole process.

But Manager Wang knew that Lin Zhengran was the boss, because he could always sense an unusual artistic flavor in Lin Zhengran.

This is also the reason why he can waive the 10,000 yuan. Although the price is lowered, he must give some discounts.

And if it really fails to sell, Manager Wang will definitely send some small gifts to these two people as proof of friendship.

Lin Zhengran and Zhang Lan read the contract and signed their names.

Manager Wang shook hands with Lin Zhengran again. At this time, he may have heard the content of the chat just now.

Another female manager who had been working also came over to shake hands with Lin Zhengran and Zhang Lan.

Lin Zhengran and Zhang Lan left the third floor and went back downstairs to enter the oil painting exhibition through the main entrance.

Zhang Lan held Lin Zhengran's arm and asked curiously: "As soon as I said I wanted to send a painting, the senior agreed so quickly?"

Lin Zhengran smiled: "After all, we are not here to make money this time. We are here to let others know about you. Moreover, this is your work. If you want to give it away, how can I stop you?"

Zhang Lan smiled slightly: "Senior, do you think our paintings can be sold?"

Lin Zhengran looked ahead: "It can't be sold. If you didn't say it was a free gift, it could still be sold. Since you said it was a free gift, no one would take the painting. The oil painting gallery will definitely take advantage of it."

Lin Zhengran smiled: "But I just thought of a good thing. Does Lan Lan know what I am thinking?"

Zhang Lan didn't even shake his head, but looked at him: "You know...senior, you want to draw one yourself this afternoon, right? Use my painting to attract others and catch a big fish?"

Lin Zhengran touched her face: "It's about attracting jade. Your oil painting is also jade. It's a good work."

Zhang Lan smiled softly: "Senior, I love you."

"I love you too."

The two people entered the lobby in front of the oil painting gallery.

This oil painting gallery is basically the same size as the last time I went, but the decoration style is more rigorous.

Various art works line the long corridor.

The onlookers looked at their clothing and temperament, and they were all wealthy people. And by coincidence, as soon as Lin Zhengran entered, he found a regular customer who often appeared in the news.

An old artist named Geng Jiasheng.

Geng Jiasheng was surrounded by many people, who seemed to be protecting him.

This man Lin Zhengran has been seen on the news before. He seems to have several antique shops under his name and is a real old rich man.

After Lin Zhengran saw it, Zhang Lan of course also discovered it.

She was surprised: "Mr. Geng?" Zhang Lan smiled: "I didn't expect Mr. Geng to be here today. Is it him, senior? He is well-known enough."

Lin Zhengran smiled and nodded: "Let's attack him."
