Chapter 258 Star Effect (10 fans plus better fit)
Qiu Shibin of Global Art Company has always been very efficient.

When this purple bamboo mat was obtained, Qiu Shibin happened to be holding an art appreciation yearbook, and one of the artworks had some temporary problems, so he used the purple bamboo mat to cover it.

The invitations printed at noon were distributed to many wealthy businessmen in the city and the owners of real estate companies in the afternoon.

The Art Appreciation Association originated in Europe and the United States. Since the return of Hong Kong and the opening of the domestic market, this fashion has gradually become popular in China.

Its form is a little more casual than an auction, similar to a reception or a tea party.At the scene of the appreciation meeting, a small amount of desserts and drinks are placed, and it is usually held during the day, and all attendees must wear formal attire.

After confirming that the one on the invitation was Xiaoxian's purple bamboo mat, Xuerou begged Zengmu to take them to the appreciation party.

From her great mother, Xiaoxian learned that Huanyu Artworks is an established art company with a good reputation in the industry.

As for Xiaoxian’s doubts about how the bamboo mat she wove became a work of art, the experienced Zeng Mu said with a smile: “The so-called art is just a secular attitude, and people’s pursuit of beauty changes. It is a positive attitude. The mat you weave may seem unrefined to you. But in the eyes of Boss Qiu, it has reached the level of being treasured, so he showed it. In connoisseurship, he is an expert."

"Xiaoxian, I think that mat is definitely a work of art. How much do you think a fly is worth?" Xuerou didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The current art industry is uneven. What kind of collectibles are there? Both.

"Flies?" Xiao Xian was amused and angry, why couldn't Xue Rou give an example of a fly.

"Qi Baishi has heard of it. He is famous for his paintings of flowers, birds, insects, fish, landscapes, and figures. A few years ago, the only calligraphy and painting work he painted with the theme of 'flies' when he was alive, sold for a high price of 19.8 yuan. You must know that the painting of flies is only a few centimeters in size, and it can be regarded as an inch of gold," Xuerou vaguely saw the news, and told Xiaoxian with a ready-made example.

Originally, Zeng Mu was not very happy to bring her daughter to such occasions prematurely. At the appreciation meeting, both the refined and the popular were appreciated, and the good and the bad were divided equally.

After listening to Xuerou and Xiaoxian's conversation, Zeng's mother also knew in her heart that these two children could not be raised with the education model of ordinary children.

Art appreciation is a form of high art appreciation that can be used as a derivative of school learning.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, under the guidance of Zeng Mu, Xiao Xian changed into an outfit suitable for participating in the appreciation meeting. It was a handmade imitation cheongsam knee-length dress, with exquisite Suzhou embroidered jasmine pattern on the upper body and lace on the lower body. skirt.

The dress was a birthday present from Zeng Mu to Xuerou, but Xuerou didn't like to dress up too femininely, so she threw it in the closet without wearing it once, and took advantage of this appreciation meeting, let Xiaoxian wear it.

Mother Zeng put on a light makeup for Xiaoxian again. Xiaoxian's skin is good, so Mother Zeng didn't pay much attention to her skin.Looking at those eyes, they are also beautiful, barking like ink pools, but her eyebrows are just like her temperament, frizzy and need to be tidied up.

When plucking her eyebrows, Xiaoxian was screamed several times in pain. After more than half an hour, she finally got two willow-leaf eyebrows. Then she used the eyebrow brush, eyeliner and mascara. After all the time, Zeng Mu stopped her hands in satisfaction.

Looking at the girl in the mirror again, the slender eyebrows protruding made Xiao Xian's eyes a little bigger, her skin that was already rosy in white, now looked clearer, her peach-colored lips, Zeng Mu watched from the side, reluctantly. Can't help but praise: "This is like a girl."

Finally, Zeng Mu combed Xiao Xian's long hair into a slanted bun, making her look a little older than her actual age without looking old-fashioned.

When Xue Rou also came out of the locker room, Zeng Mu frowned beside her, and Xiao Xian didn't react for a moment.

Xuerou changed into a neutral light gray suit with a white shirt, and wore a pair of black leather shoes with inner heightening, making her look a lot taller.Looking at the Adam's apple on her neck, a bow tie was cleverly placed, and it turned out to be a male guest.

Xuerou is about the same size as Xiaoxian, but her body is thinner. She thought it was troublesome to tie her hair a while ago. As soon as the summer vacation arrived, Xuerou cut a neat boy's head, so it is not suitable to wear a dress skirt. .With such an outfit, he really revealed a bit of youthful handsomeness.

"You're dumbfounded, haven't you seen such a handsome young master of the Zeng family?" Xuerou said with a thick voice, pretending to be a man's voice, and with one arm, he acted as Xiaoxian's male companion.

"Damn girl, hey, if I knew this, I might as well have had a son." Zeng Mu also had no way to deal with her daughter's weirdness.Fortunately, this kind of art appreciation meeting focuses on appreciation, not on people.

Xiaoxian and Xuerou are dressed in such a way that people can't guess that they are still students for a while.

The venue for the appreciation meeting is BJ's famous Dorsett Club.Imperial Club is a well-known high-end private club in the city.

The scale of the appreciation meeting held by Huanqiu Company at this time was rare in BJ at that time. With the appeal of Huanyu itself, there were quite a few people who came to this appreciation meeting, and most of them were of great purchasing power. The new rich and industry collectors in town.

When Xiaoxian walked into the Dihao Club with Xuerou on his arm, Boss Qiu who was standing at the door hurriedly greeted him.

After exchanging pleasantries, Boss Qiu looked curiously at the pair of delicate young men and women who looked like people in the painting behind Zeng Mu.

Zeng Mu was well-known in the business field, but she had always been very cautious about her personal privacy. Even her closest friends didn't know the specifics of her family.

"Little dog and little girl," Zeng Mu calmly introduced their identities.

Boss Qiu invited the three of them in after another burst of polite words.Zeng Mu whispered a few words to the two of them, and then went to greet friends in the business field.

The art appreciation meeting has not officially started, and the visitors are still in the side hall.

The side hall is distributed in a circular corridor, furnished in a luxurious atmosphere. At the entrance is an old-fashioned Beetle convertible, and a few steps away are several Monet's oil painting prints.

Xiaoxian and Xuerou looked around, and found that the people present were divided into two categories according to their ages. There were middle-aged people, and some old people with frosted silver temples. These were real entrepreneurs and celebrities in the city. .

The other part is the upstarts in the city mentioned by Xuerou, young designers and painters, who are fashionable and well-dressed.

Xiaoxian and Xuerou walked around, at this moment, Zengmu came back.The appreciation meeting started, and the guests, led by Boss Qiu, walked into the open-air appreciation meeting venue in the middle of the Emgrand Club.

At this time, the Art Appreciation Meeting is not about paintings, but all kinds of handicrafts collected from all over the world, ranging from Italian stone statues that can be used for garden fountains to small walnut sculptures carved by folk artists , and Xiaoxian's purple bamboo and rattan mat was also hung in an inconspicuous corner.

"This time it's just an appreciation, and there will be no direct sales on site. The whole process of the appreciation will be done by a dedicated receptionist, who will help someone Qiu explain these works of art. As for the specific sales method, please allow someone Qiu to be close first. After appreciating all the works of art, I will explain." Boss Qiu is wearing a velvet tuxedo today, and he looks like a quail.

"Old Qiu, don't show off your tricks. You have been to Italy a few times, and you have learned a yuppie tone. Which appreciation society is not open for business, and if you don't sell it, then what are we looking at?" In the crowd, there were a few A person familiar with Boss Qiu interrupted him.

"Wrong, opening the door is to do business. It's just that there is no reference price for this appreciation. When you appreciate it later, you must see the serial number of the artwork you like, and then according to the price you personally determine, sell The price is put into the 'black box' in the venue. There is a 'black box' next to every ten groups of artworks. The so-called money is hard to buy and the heart is good. Artworks are no more than antiques. There is no authenticity, so there is no distinction between high price and low price. Appraisal The tallest person can take away your favorite artwork smoothly. We can talk about it in private if you buy it in large quantities." As soon as Huanyu's Boss Qiu spoke, there was an uproar in the audience.

"Mom, this appreciation will be interesting," Xuerou also became interested.Generally speaking, appreciation meetings are also unofficial auctions. Unexpectedly, this Huanyu appreciation meeting is a bit of a gamble.

An upstart in the city next to him and his female companion whispered: "This Boss Qiu is really a genius. Isn't this blind buying and selling."

The atmosphere at the scene reached its first small climax because of Boss Qiu's words.

The crowd walked forward, and the open exhibition hall made it easier for people to walk.

"This is?" The first thing that appeared in front of everyone was a black swan specimen.

White swans are not uncommon, but black swans are rare.

Ms. Huanyu's narrator, with a sweet voice, explained: "As we all know, the swan is a beautiful and noble bird. The black swan is even rarer in the world. This black swan specimen comes from Perth, the hometown of the black swan. The black swan It is a famous ornamental rare bird. This is a swan that is hatching. It has survived the cold winter with great difficulty. When spring comes and the ice melts, the mother swan is about to spread its wings and fly to look for food. A bullet from a poacher Shattered its joy of welcoming the next generation."

That black swan, which can be called perfect in appearance, is covered with tiny flying feathers without any stray feathers. The flocculent black feathers on its back are smooth and shiny. The despair in its eyes is well preserved by the person who made the specimen. down.

People stared at the swan specimens and praised them.

Xiao Xian felt nauseated for a while, she seemed to see the swirling bullet hole in the belly of the swan, and her heart seemed to flow into that blood hole along with the pouring blood. It was really a cruel work.

"Xuerou, remind Auntie that you can't buy this swan specimen," Xiaoxian reminded Xuerou, worried that her mother was also interested in black swan specimens.

"What's the matter?" Xuerou doesn't really like making live birds into specimens, but one of Zeng's mother's new real estate buildings is called Swan Garden, if this black swan is placed in the real estate sales office , it looks quite impressive.

"Animals have been made into specimens. In addition to the toxins such as borax, this black swan died for no reason, and it also contained evil spirits. If people touch it, it will definitely be bad for the body after a long time." Xiao Xian saw Around the black swan, there is a cloud of dark evil spirit.For animals, she can't do the same thing as looking at plants, but she can roughly recognize whether it is good for the human body.

After appreciating the black swan marked with the ① sign, several guests wrote down the price in their minds and put the paper into the black box that Boss Qiu said. There were not many people. Mind you, there are no bids either.

Further down, there is a copy of Venus with a broken arm. The whole body is carved from Greek white jade. The hand of Italian stone carving master Pike Naliu.Exquisite workmanship, noble and elegant, attracted many people to throw notes into the black box.Zengmu also wrote down a number, Xiaoxian and Xuerou glanced at it, and the price Zengmu offered was 220000.

"Is the price high or low?" Xiaoxian came here today to study.The material of white jade is similar to marble, and Xiaoxian has seen a picture of Venus with a broken arm in art class, and it doesn't look much different.

"It's okay. Pai Ke Nailiu is good at male statues, so the female body carving skills will be worse. Mom should just join in the fun." Those who come to this kind of high-end clubs are all prominent figures, and it's a kind of ignorance to see the price. Disrespectful behavior, many people will be like Zeng Mu, write low prices, and mark prices that are impossible to buy, which can be regarded as a show for Mr. Qiu.

From this point of view, it can also be said that Mr. Qiu from Taiwan is very popular.

Halfway through the appreciation meeting, the commentator led people to the purple bamboo mat woven by Xiao Xian.The number of the mat is ②③, and the hanging corner is located on the northeast side of the clubhouse.

The lighting on the northeast side is mediocre, and the purple bamboo mats are also dark. At first glance, they are not very attractive.

Xiao Xian was half comforted and half frustrated. The comfort was that among the works of art that were either of high quality or made by famous masters, her mats took less time and were nothing special.

Listening to Xuerou, the previous white jade stone carving with the broken arm of Venus took the master three or four days, and the white marble itself is expensive, and Xiao Xian's purple bamboo mat was only made of ordinary bamboo.

The guests were dazzled by the previous series of appreciations, and suddenly changed their vision, and they were also puzzled when they saw a mat that did not show the mountains and dews.But these people are all face-saving, thinking that since Boss Qiu has numbered the mats in such a low order, the value should not be low.Many people think so, so even if there are a few who have doubts in their hearts, they hide it and wait for the commentator to explain.

"This mat is made of purple bamboo strips, with a size of 150cm x 200cm." After the commentator finished speaking, he paused, as if he was sure that some people in the crowd would question it.

"Mats made of Zizhu? Zizhu can also be used as mats? None of the high-end mats exported by our company are made of Zizhu. The last time Mr. Huang and I went fishing off the coast of Qingdao, we used Zizhu fishing rods. At that time, there was a What do experienced fishermen say? They say that purple bamboo is strong and beautiful in color, and it is the best choice for fishing rods." The questioner was the honorary president of the BJ City Fishing Association and a well-known bedding manufacturer.

Hearing what the other party said, the guests shook their heads one after another. Some even said that Mr. Qiu had misjudged this time. Although the color of this mat is very strange, but the bamboo material is not suitable, so it is useless.

"Appreciation, there are appreciations, there are several advantages of my purple bamboo mat, one is softer than wool blankets, two is impermeable and will not trap hair, and the third is magnificent color." Boss Qiu has a quail belly , taking a figure-of-eight step, swaying through the crowd.

He asked the mat to be moved to a bright and bright place, took a piece of white silk, and asked someone to hold a glass of water.The mat was placed under the mat, and the posture was like a chastity ceremony to test the newlyweds. The male guests present laughed and the female guests frowned.

Xiao Xian was also speechless for a while, she hadn't inspected the finished work herself, and she didn't know what Boss Qiu was trying to sell.

"Miss Wang Keke, please do me a favor," Boss Qiu called out a female guest who had previously participated in the bidding for black swan specimens.

Wang Keke is a well-known female star in China. She is only twenty years old, with fair skin and smooth flesh, and a very pure temperament.After being named by Boss Qiu, star Wang Keke could only walk out.

"Congratulations, you just endorsed a Japanese cosmetic called KStwo," Mr. Qiu congratulated.

When Wang Keke heard this, she smiled. That is an international first-line brand. The reason why she can endorse it is because she is popular enough and her skin is good enough.

"Then let's invite another guest, kid?" The No. 2 guest called out by Boss Qiu is a five or six-year-old girl dressed like a doll, brought by her mother to participate in the appreciation meeting.

After everyone was invited out, Mr. Qiu asked someone to turn on the lights in the room, and the purple bamboo mat suddenly lit up, and the silver bamboo spots on it shone like stars, which attracted bursts of exclamation.Before the exclamation subsided, the girl couldn't help but squatted down, touched the mat, and said innocently, "It's so slippery."

Boss Qiu said to Wang Keke again: "Miss Wang, please take the child back." Seeing that the girl was cute, Wang Keke picked her up.

"Little friend, touch the face of this beautiful big sister again, she is a big star," Boss Qiu persuaded the girl. When the girl heard that she was a big star, she tilted her head and thought that she would never have a chance to meet again. He touched Wang Keke's face.

"How? Is it the slippery mat or the slippery face of the beautiful big sister?" Hearing Boss Qiu's life-and-death comparison, the guests all laughed.

"The mat is slippery," the girl was only a few years old, and she didn't know how to read people's faces, so she blurted out the truth.

After the words were out of the mouth, the crowd was quiet for a while, Wang Keke couldn't hold back his face anymore, and he couldn't hold the child in his hand, and he didn't hold it.

A mat woven from rough bamboo is smoother than her skin. Doesn't it make it clear that she can't get off the stage?

Boss Qiu just smiled and said nothing.

Wang Keke choked out a few words, "How is it possible? Kid, lying will make your nose grow. Could it be that my sister's skin is bad?"

"My sister's skin is very slippery, just like an egg. But the mat is smoother," the girl gasped, and Wang Keke's complexion improved a bit, finally saving himself a little face.

The girl's mother hurried forward and carried her daughter back. Those guests who hadn't taken it seriously before touched the mat curiously. It was indeed extremely slippery. The strangest thing was that no matter how people touched it with their hands, the mat was still cold. cold.

You think, not everyone can touch the face of a big star, but if you buy such a mat, think about it, it is more delicate than the skin of a beautiful woman, so if you want to spread it on the bed, what will it be like? Fan charming taste.

In the crowd, some people are already ready to move and start writing prices.

"Everyone, don't worry. I just said a few benefits, but I haven't finished showing them all," Mr. Qiu was quite confident in this mat. He turned around and took the water glass from the interpreter's hand, and poured a glass of water into it. All poured on the table.

"Which play is this?" Xue Rou and Xiao Xian looked at each other, while Zeng Mu was also watching with interest.

The mat was picked up by one corner by one person, and the glass of water remained intact on the mat, not a drop of water leaked from it, the white silk was bright, without any wet marks.

After a while, the water on the purple bamboo mat was slowly sucked into the bamboo strips, and the bamboo strips became fuller and brighter with a touch of hands.

"Everyone has seen that not a single drop of water flowed out, and everything was locked tightly in the mat. Such a good mat, women sleep beautifully, and men sleep energetic," Boss Qiu stirred up everyone's emotions again.

"My God, how many needles are needed to weave such a fine mat? The purple bamboo used to weave the mat is also strange, and it can still shrink." There was another sigh, and the guests who had not been tempted before also took out their writing papers. Pen, start writing.

Even the female star Wang Keke also wrote a price tag, but she didn't know how to write the price. She thought to herself, no matter what, she would take a picture of this mat that made her feel ashamed. In the hands of others, her jokes will become bigger.

Besides, maybe sleeping on that mat will make the skin better. Wang Keke thought about it and wrote down a price.

"Xiaoxian, Auntie will also help you to set a price," Zeng Mu watched from the side, admiring Boss Qiu's way of publicity.

The pillow mats at home were also made by Xiaoxian, she didn't recognize so many benefits before.After sleeping on the pillow mat, both Mother Zeng and Grandma Zeng’s sleeping conditions have improved to a certain extent. They sleep with the air conditioner on, and their skin does not feel tight every morning. I think it is the effect of the pillow mat. If a small The effect of the pillow mat is so good, not to mention the effect of the whole mat.

"Auntie, don't join in the fun. If you really like this kind of mat, I'll ask my uncle to find some more bamboo and make a new one." Xiaoxian stopped Zengmu.

Even if there is one less great mother, the black box next to the purple bamboo mat is still very popular.

Before and after, five or sixty people stepped forward to deliver the note.

The appreciation meeting went on for a while, and Boss Qiu prepared Hong Kong-style refreshments to entertain the guests who were having a good time talking.
