80s: Daughter-in-law Is Sweet and Sassy (My 80's Wife Is Sweet And Cool)

"The guy who took the promotional photos for me? He is a photographer and has nothing to do with the calligraphy and painting circle."

Chu Qiao was even more confused. This circle was too complicated. What did Mei Jiuming and Chen Wei want to do?

Chen Wei was quite frank and didn't hide anything, saying: "Ian's father is an internationally renowned painter. He has several galleries under his name and is very famous abroad."

Only then did Chu Qiao understand and asked, "Mei Jiuming wants to sell Ian's paintings abroad through his father?"

"It's about holding art exhibitions abroad. Only when a painter holds an art exhibition can he become famous. Only when he is famous can he have a high status. This is the most effective way besides death." Chen Wei said sharply.

This was also the idea she gave Mei Jiu Ming. Most of Ouyang Lin's disciples looked down on her. Only Mei Jiu Ming was very polite to her, and they had many similar ideas and sympathies with each other.

Chu Qiao nodded in agreement. Chen Wei's business philosophy was very correct. No wonder Ouyang Lin was able to run Ouyang Lin's business so successfully in his previous life. It was a pity. I wonder if Chen Wei ever regretted marrying such an old man?

"How is Mei Jiu Ming's painting level? Although publicity and marketing are effective methods, you have to be strong when you are forging. If his painting is not good, he will not be able to pull it up even if he pulls hard." Chu Qiao was a little curious about Mei Jiu Ming's painting ability.

Chen Wei thought for a while and said pertinently: "I can't say that the level is top-notch, but it is still very good. Among my husband's disciples, Mei Jiuming's level is ranked in the top five. You may wonder why he is not famous. That's Because he doesn’t like my husband.”

"Why? I think Mr. Mei is handsome, graceful, young and promising. How could Master Ouyang not like him?" Chu Qiao became even more confused.

Chen Wei smiled and said in a sarcastic tone, "Mei Jiu Ming's family background is not good. He was an orphan. Before he was fifteen years old, he was still wandering around begging for food. Moreover, he was either from a regular art academy or a wild child, but he is very talented, so I My husband only accepted him as his apprentice, but Mei Jiu Ming has too many ideas and always wants to innovate, which my husband doesn't like."

Of course, the inside story is not that simple. Chen Wei didn't say too much, and she wasn't very familiar with Chu Qiao. It would be bad to say too much.

In fact, the main reason was that the other disciples of Ouyang Lin collectively ostracized Mei Jiu Ming. These disciples were either from famous families or from the Academy of Fine Arts, and belonged to the regular army. Naturally, they looked down on a weed like Mei Jiu Ming.

Chu Qiao frowned slightly and felt that Ouyang Lin's idea was very problematic. Only innovation can lead to development. Mei Jiu Ming was right, but he didn't meet a master who understood him.

"Even if he can get to know Ian's father through Bai Wei, he won't be able to sell paintings for a while. What will he do with the gallery now? Why doesn't it close?" Chu Qiao was a little worried that this guy wouldn't be able to survive.

I owe half a year's rent, and the financial situation is quite bad.

Chen Wei shrugged helplessly, "I also persuaded him to suspend business, but he refused and said he would find a way and he wouldn't close anyway."

Chu Qiao understood Mei Jiu Ming a little. The gallery was his last bit of stubbornness. If it closed, it would be an admission of failure, and there would definitely be a lot of rumors. However, the expenses of such a large gallery were huge, and it was really difficult to sustain it.

"Why is the gallery business so bad? What does Mr. Mei mainly paint?" Chu Qiao asked curiously.

She had just taken a cursory look at the gallery. There were many types, but to be honest, she couldn't appreciate them all, and she had no desire to spend money to buy them.

"He is better at oil painting of portraits and landscapes, but he always likes to paint homeless people, beggars, and rag pickers. Even landscapes, he never paints places of interest, but destroyed farmland or forests. It’s just... how should I put it, Jiu Ming’s paintings are all unattractive and don’t give people a good feeling, do you understand what I mean?”

Chen Wei didn't know how to express it. She had also persuaded Mei Jiuming before to paint some beautiful scenery and beauties, which would be easier to sell. After all, people like beautiful things, and no one likes to see beggars and salt-alkali land, but Mei Jiuming Jiu Ming is very stubborn and says that if he changes, it will no longer be his style.

Chu Qiao's heart skipped a beat when she suddenly thought of someone.

Ouyang Lin was a quite famous painter in his previous life. He was only well-known domestically and was not actually very famous internationally. However, this painter was well-known at home and abroad, and even more famous abroad.

Moreover, this painter never paints beauty. He paints all the dark side of the world. His style is very unique. I can’t remember his name, Chu Qiao, but he should be Mei Jiu Ming.

There will never be another painter like this.

She didn't expect that she would meet the down-and-out Mei Jiu Ming. This good relationship still had to be forged. Now let Mei Jiu Ming give her a few paintings, and she would be prosperous in the future.

"I think Mr. Mei's style is very unique. If he changes it, he will no longer be him. He should stick to it and not give up."

Chen Wei looked at her suspiciously, "You sound as if Mei Jiuming will succeed, but he himself has no confidence."

Chu Qiao smiled and said half-seriously: "Who knows what will happen in the future. I just think that it is rare for a painter to have his own style and cannot change it easily."

Chen Wei sighed, "We all know the truth, but if a painter is not famous, he will starve to death. Without bread, no matter how good his style is, it will be useless."

Just like Ouyang Lin, he may be a famous painter, but he doesn't actually have much money. Chen Wei now regrets it. If she had known she was so poor, she wouldn't have married herself.

But now that he has boarded the pirate ship, he can only grit his teeth and persist, making money when he has no money. With Ouyang Lin's reputation, he can still operate.

Chu Qiao rolled her eyes and had an idea, the idea of ​​forming a good relationship with Mei Jiu Ming.

"I have a way to bring Mr. Mei's gallery back to life, but he has to listen to me."

"As long as you can really make the gallery turn a profit, Mei Jiu Ming will be more obedient than your husband." Chen Wei joked, not quite believing that Chu Qiao could really do it.

"There must be a way. It just depends on whether he can lower his posture."

Chu Qiao paused and said: "The paintings I saw in his gallery just now are quite different and have a very distinctive style. However, before this kind of painting becomes famous, it is difficult to find buyers. He should change it without having to do it himself." Painting, take the commercial route.”

"What move?"

Chen Wei became interested.

Chu Qiao smiled mysteriously and said, "Let Mei Jiuming come to me by herself. Business secrets cannot be disclosed casually."

She also wants to make some money from this, so she can't tell her first.

Chen Wei didn't ask any more questions and agreed to talk to Mei Jiu Ming.

After the two drank coffee, they separated. Chu Qiao went to the beauty shop and went home without any major problems.

During dinner, Gu Ye came back excitedly. As soon as he entered the door, he hugged Chu Qiao and shouted exaggeratedly: "Daughter-in-law!"

"go away!"

Chu Qiao held a large plate of steaming dishes in her hands and glared at him. The child was still there, not looking like an adult at all.

Gu Ye chuckled and said with a smile in her ear: "Old Sun has agreed to buy thirty machine tools, and he will buy more in the future. His factory is doing very well, specializing in auto parts, and demand exceeds supply."
