Inherit For Three Thousand Years

The original price of 28 million U.S. dollars for Abraham, Lu Jinguang already felt that it was very high. If he were to negotiate with Abraham, his bottom line would be 30 million U.S. dollars. If he could raise the price to 35 million US dollars, he would be very satisfied.

However, Xiao Yao directly put forward an ultra-high demand of nearly 60 million U.S. dollars, which he did not dare to imagine. There is really a big difference between the big rich man and his ordinary rich man's view of money. At this point, he must admit.

Xiao Yao is still very young and has just made his mark in the art world. If his works can be collected by the Louvre in Paris, even the price of 28 million US dollars will be enough to disregard the global art world.

The works can be collected by top museums like the Louvre, which is already the highest honor. The transaction price of 28 million US dollars is even more amazing. There are few contemporary artists in the world who can enjoy this kind of treatment.

Although he is still a young painter, with this qualification, he is enough to squeeze into the ranks of the top contemporary artists in the world.

After the relationship between art and money, art also has water. The auction prices of many so-called famous painters have repeatedly hit record highs, but the auction prices of their works are not equivalent to the artistry of the works. The auction prices of some writers' works are realistic, and the auction prices of some writers' works are speculated.

The transactions in art exhibitions can be speculated, and the transaction prices at auctions can also be speculated. However, the collections of artworks in famous museums are basically real, and the transaction prices will not be faked.

As long as the cooperation with the Louvre is successful this time, even a $28 million transaction price will be enough to establish Xiao Yao's top position among contemporary artists.

Lu Jinguang really didn't expect Xiao Yao's appetite to be so big. The price of 28 million won't satisfy him. His request turned out to be 60 million US dollars!

Judging from Abraham's reaction, it seems that there is a real possibility of success.

Xiao Yao's request was too high for Abraham to accept, and the first negotiation was temporarily terminated.

On the morning of the second day, Abraham and others came again and continued to negotiate.

Abraham went straight to the topic, "Mr. Xiao, after returning yesterday, we had a video conference with the headquarters, and the headquarters agreed to purchase your work "Thunder" at a price of 48 million US dollars. Although this price cannot break the record of the highest transaction price of a living artist , But it’s enough to break the record for the highest sale of a contemporary artist’s paintings held by Richter’s "Abstract Painting." This is already the highest price we can offer. If you still can’t accept it, then we can only express regret. "

Lu Jinguang's eyes lit up and he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yao.

As soon as Abraham came up, he quoted such a high price. Lu Jinguang was very surprised, and the surprise in his heart could not be restrained.

The transaction price of "Abstract Painting" was US$47 million, and the Louvre was willing to buy Xiao Yao's "Thunder" for US$48 million. Sincerity is absolutely sufficient.

After hearing this price, Lu Jinguang's anxiety finally stabilized.

As soon as Abraham came up, he quoted a high price of 48 million US dollars. The subsequent negotiations will definitely increase this price. No matter how much it can go up, Lu Jinguang can accept it.

After Abraham and others left yesterday, Lu Jinguang and Xiao Yao also communicated their ideas. After communication, the two people agreed that as long as the price given by Abraham was more than 35 million US dollars, they could consider transferring "Thunder" to the Louvre in Paris.

It may be that during the negotiations yesterday, Xiao Yao's attitude was too determined, or it may be that Abraham did not regard Xiao Yao as a pure businessman, but more as an artist with a distinct personality.

The reason for this idea may be the illusion that Xiao Yao's works gave him.

In addition, Xiao Yao, as a rich man, does not lack money, and it is normal not to sell his works for a short period of time.

The longer the time drags on, the higher the price the Louvre will cost to purchase Xiao Yao's "Thunder" will inevitably be.

Even if only considering the factors of market economy, it is now a seller's market, Xiao Yao's willingness to sell is not strong, he can sell it or not. On the other hand, Abraham had a very strong willingness to buy.

On the one hand, "Thunder" is the most outstanding contemporary art work, and on the other hand, it takes into account that the longer the delay, the higher the cost. Since you must buy this work, you can't postpone it later, the earlier you decide, the lower the cost.

It is precisely because of these two reasons that Abraham made a huge concession and quoted a very high price from the beginning.

In fact, Xiao Yao is not as indifferent and indifferent as he showed. As long as the price is right, cooperation with the Louvre is equally important to him.

In order to convince Xiao Yao, Lu Jinguang analyzed the importance of this cooperation from various aspects.

Every piece of Xiao Yao's work may be very valuable in the future, but the future price can never be used to measure the current work.

Even for those artists who were famous in their youth in history, there must be a process to promote their works, and Xiao Yao is no exception.

To bring a small number of works to the market at different times, as long as they are properly operated and publicized, the effect is huge and indispensable for increasing the popularity of writers and the price of works.

If you want to get more, no matter what you do, you have to pay upfront. Artists and works of art are no exception.

As long as the transaction price of "Thunder" can exceed 35 million this time, Lu Jinguang believes that a year later, the price of similar works will exceed 50 million US dollars.

Now there is no need to wait until a year later, the Louvre’s offer is already close to this price.

"I have seen the sincerity of the Louvre, but I am a very stubborn person, and I never change the decision. The transfer price of "Thunder" must exceed 59 million U.S. dollars, preferably 60 million U.S. dollars, otherwise I can only Say sorry."

Xiao Yao's attitude was too resolute, and it seemed that there was no room for change. Abraham frowned, and he was unable to make a decision for a long time.

This price has exceeded the price ceiling established in yesterday's video conference, but if it is refused, it also does not conform to the plan formulated by the Louvre.

Xiao Yao's spirit is too sharp, he can feel it, Abraham is really embarrassed, rather than pretending to be a posture.

Before Abraham could speak, Xiao Yao continued: "The transaction price cannot be changed, but the transaction method can be more flexible."

Things seemed to have taken a new turn. Abraham immediately became interested and asked: "How do you think about the specific transaction method? Can you tell me something?"
