Chapter 752 It’s all about money

Generally speaking, most people who engage in calligraphy and painting, whether at home or abroad, are poor when they are alive, and their paintings can be sold for sky-high prices after their death. This is because this line of work requires time to accumulate and continuous practice of writing skills.

Even for great calligraphers and painters, the auction prices of their early works and those of their later years will be vastly different, and the artistic level is even more different.

Looking through history and looking at the masters of calligraphy and painting in ancient times, the legendary Tang Bohu was actually quite poor. Among the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, Li Futang, a gold farmer, was not good enough. In fact, he was very poor financially and had to rely on the salt merchants at that time. Sponsor your life.

Another example is Xu Wei, a great painter (Ming Dynasty) who even Qi Baishi felt inferior to. He was in poverty during his lifetime and relied on donations from his students and friends to survive. After his death, his paintings were snapped up.

What's more, if his paintings fail to sell for a high price, he borrows money to send his works to an international auction house for auction, and then auctions the paintings back himself, giving the auction house a high commission, just to create a name. It has been auctioned by a major international house and sold at a high price. This will become the only highlight of selling paintings in the future.

Take Meng Guangda for example. Although he has no achievements in calligraphy and has participated in several competitions organized by the Domestic Calligraphy Association and failed in the competition, the Transportation Bureau in his hometown still takes him seriously.

Every year, the Transportation Bureau hires people to write reminders such as "Sharp Turn Ahead" on the stone walls of the mountainside slope protection. This job is not difficult for those who know how to do it. To put it bluntly, it is just writing big characters with a brush; for those who don't know how, even if It should be written casually but also be aesthetically pleasing, because there are often leaders’ cars walking around. If the prompts on the roadside are written like a diagnosis written by a doctor, who can understand it? If it disturbs the driver’s line of sight, it may cause trouble. If something goes wrong, it would be better not to write about it.

And Meng Guangda wrote to the Transportation Bureau once because of an introduction from an acquaintance. Later, the Transportation Bureau leader felt that Lao Meng's work was beautiful and fast. A week's work was completed in three days. The words were written in one go, and they followed the model. Spray painting is fast. Lao Meng can also earn back some of the cost of pen, ink and paper from writing.

Comparing the past and the present, you will know why everyone can't get out of here nowadays. It's all about money and impetuous people!

More than an hour later, Fang Yi sent Meng Guangda out of the office.

"Lawyer Meng, welcome to join our team. Please go through the office transfer procedures as soon as possible in the next two days. Once you are done, come directly to my assistant Yun Qiao. I will ask her to arrange a workstation for you." Fang Yi said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you." Meng Guangda thanked him and left the law firm with his bag.

"Master, have you told Lawyer Meng again about 'less people make money easier'?" Yun Qiao followed the office and asked with a smile.

"Ah! Otherwise?" Fang Yi looked at Yun Qiao: "Anyway, there are only a few people in our team. It is a fact that there are few people, and it is not a lie to him."

"Well, indeed. What do you think of Lawyer Meng?" Yun Qiao asked, blinking her big eyes.

"Meng Guangda, if you ask him to start a business, he will definitely not be able to start a business, but he should be able to maintain a business. In this way, after he transfers his lawyer's license, give him one or two small cases first to test his professional ability, and then talk about it." Fang Yi thought for a while and said.

"Okay! I understand." Yun Qiao replied: "Master, the big peaches are ripe now. When Lawyer Meng comes over, can we also form a team and go picking so that everyone can relax?"

"Picking? That's a good idea. I know a place. I'll give you a phone call later and you can contact me." Fang Yi suddenly remembered the breeding base where the children were born. There seemed to be many orchards nearby.

Shortly after Yun Qiao left, Fang Yi took out his mobile phone and sent Yun Mei a WeChat message.

Fang Yi: Mei, we are going to organize team building in a while. Can you guys go to the teahouse?

Yunmei: Where to go for team building?

Fang Yi: Go to the village to pick big peaches.

Yunmei: Not long after the tea club was established, I organized the employees of Yunwu Tea House to come with you.

Fang Yi: Okay. I'll tell you when the time is set.

At this moment, the phone rang. It was Lao Mi (Mi Jiahong) calling.

"Hello, Mr. Mi." Fang Yi said with a smile after answering the phone call.

"Lawyer Fang, something happened to my father-in-law. If it's convenient for you, I'll go see you this afternoon." Lao Mi said urgently.

"It's convenient. I'm at the law firm in the afternoon. Come over. What happened to the old man?" Fang Yi asked smoothly.

"Hi! Don't mention it. The public security agency said that the old man is suspected of illegally practicing medicine. I will go over in the afternoon and talk to you in detail." After saying that, Lao Mi hung up the phone.

"Illegal practice of medicine?" Fang Yi muttered, with a look of confusion on his face: "Lao Mi and his family are all practicing medicine, why are they still practicing medicine illegally?"

At almost two o'clock in the afternoon, Mi Jiahong and his wife Tao Xuehong arrived at the law firm. Tao Xuehong's face was full of anxiety, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she seemed to have cried a lot along the way.

Fang Yi felt that Tao Xuehong in front of him was even sadder than when Lao Mi was arrested. But this is not surprising, the person who was arrested was his own father!

"Mr. Mi, what's going on?" Fang Yi looked at the couple opposite and asked.

"Hi! No one is to blame for this. It's just my father-in-law's warm-heartedness. I heard my mother-in-law say..." Lao Mi recounted what happened.

Tao Ji, the father of Mi Jiahong's daughter-in-law Tao Xuehong, also studied medicine. He worked in a hospital in his early years and retired ten years ago. After retirement, in order to facilitate people in the community to see a doctor, the director of the neighborhood committee personally visited and asked Tao Ji to provide medical treatment for the neighborhood committee.

For this reason, the neighborhood committee also purchased some commonly used medicines. However, because it was unable to obtain approval from the Health Bureau, the medical room was later closed.

Since then, Tao Ji has been treating community residents at home. The patients are mainly elderly people in the community. There is no registration fee, only the cost of medicines. Those who bring their own medicines and injections are free of charge.

The day before yesterday, in the afternoon, 62-year-old Ji Xingfeng, a community resident, came to Tao Ji's home with penicillin injections due to tonsillitis and asked the latter to inject him.

After Tao Ji performed a skin test on Ji Xingfeng, he injected Ji Xingfeng with his own penicillin injection according to medical operating procedures. After that, Ji Xingfeng sat at Tao's house and chatted with Tao Ji's wife.

About twenty minutes later, Tao Ji discovered that Ji Xingfeng had an allergic reaction to penicillin, and immediately injected Ji Xingfeng with the anti-allergic injection 'dexamethasone'. After that, Tao Ji saw that Ji Xingfeng's condition did not improve, and gave her another injection of 'adrenalin'

Su' injection was given, and he immediately asked his wife to call Ji Xingfeng's son Hong Enyuan to come home.

When Hong Enyuan saw that his mother was short of breath and her condition was not good, he immediately called the emergency number and reported the police. On the same day, Ji Xingfeng was sent to the local city hospital for rescue. In the end, Ji Xingfeng died due to respiratory and circulatory failure.

Forensic identification: Ji Xingfeng died acutely due to anaphylactic shock caused by injection of penicillin.

Subsequently, the public security organs arrested Tao Ji on suspicion of illegal medical practice.
