The exchange meeting was held in the event area of ​​the bookstore at 6:30. To be honest, the level is not good, but considering that Master Huang has been away from his motherland for many years and has no connections in China, it is already good to be able to find the scene so quickly to support the scene.

The activity area is separated by a stage area, with many exhibition boards arranged, with photos of Master Huang's various works and several authentic oil paintings.

A few simple lights were hit in the center of the exhibition board, and there was a group of exchange meetings posted with self-adhesiveness: 2010 Huang Sicheng's oil painting appreciation and Huamei Culture Exchange Salon.

The place is not very good, but the structure is quite big. In a trance, Li Rui thought he was not in Haizhou but in Yanzhou, which was a magical city with international vision from top to bottom.

There is a small podium in front of the exhibition board. I guess Huang Sicheng will speak there later. There are several long tables around, with desserts, snacks and various drinks on it. When Li Rui and the other two arrived, there were already dozens of men and women in the venue. They looked like they were dressed up, had long hair, jackets, cheongsams, and bald beards, and they were basically people in the literary and artistic circles.

As soon as Tao Yuanyuan entered the venue, many people greeted her, with a respectful tone and flattering face, which shows the Tao family's status in this circle.

I went to say hello to my friend. Tao Yuanyuan left after saying that.

The remaining Li Rui and Ye Bingling were neither known nor wanted to know each other, so they each brought a drink and chatted together.

Only then did Li Rui realize that Ye Bingling's makeup and outfit today were all thoughtful.

Especially with a pair of red lipsticks, I don’t know which brand or color of lipstick I used, it’s very sexy.

Ye Bingling frowned and said: What are you looking at?

Li Rui tilted his head and said with a smile: Your makeup today is particularly beautiful.

Ye Bingling said coldly: So it’s not good-looking, right?

I didn't mean that. Li Rui didn't understand why he praised him and even made problems.

The next second he got the answer, and Ye Bingling said: This was designed by Yuanyuan for me.

Li Rui really wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

But he quickly came up with an excuse: No wonder he is beautiful and charming, but has a kind of dusty taste, which is a little worse than your usual makeup.

Ye Bingling's eyes slightly raised up, and he didn't say anything more.

Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief, saying that being with the king is like a tiger, and being with the chairman is like a tiger!

Sooner or later, I will ride you, the tigress, and beat you down to avenge today!

The two chatted for a while, and Huang Sicheng arrived, and everyone applauded happily.

The next step was a very boring process. Huang Sicheng went on stage and blew up his experience in Magnesium Country. It seemed that he went there with the idea of ​​cultural exchange between Magnesium and Magnesium, but he did not explain why he didn't come back when the country needed it.

Then there were two painters who Huang Sicheng found from somewhere, and he boasted about his artistic achievements.

Ye Bingling didn't understand the twists and turned around and asked Li Rui in a low voice: Is this Master Huang very famous?

Li Rui leaned into her ear and said: It's similar to my status in the domestic oil painting industry.

Ye Bingling showed a smile on Wannian Bingberg's face, and he held back his smile and said: Why are you so rogue?

Li Rui said seriously: If you don’t believe me, please ask a college student who studies oil painting. Please make sure no one knows me, and no one knows him!

Not serious. Ye Bingling angrily said, and the iceberg looked so ecstatic.

In just 40 minutes, after the three of them finished speaking, the exchange salon officially began.

It is called a salon, but in fact, it is just a bunch of people eating snacks, drinks and paintings, and they spend more time bragging about nonsense.

Li Rui asked Ye Bingling: Do you eat sushi?

Ye Bingling nodded and said: It’s the tuna.

Li Rui walked over and wanted to get Ye Bingling a portion of sushi.

A short and fat man appeared next to him and muttered: This is not sushi, it is too unauthentic!

I looked okay. Li Rui turned his head and looked at him.

The short and fat man shook his head and said: Tuna is not fresh, don’t eat it. If you want to eat authentic sushi, there are several good shops in Haizhou, and I can introduce it to you.

Li Rui thought this person was quite interesting, so he turned around and handed over a business card, introducing himself: Li Rui, an investment person.

The short and fat man bent down and took the business card with both hands, revealed his origin, and replied to a business card: Kawaguchi Shulin, art investor.

You don't look like an islander? Li Rui said strangely. The other party's sacred language had a very authentic northeastern flavor of the country, but his behavior was just like that of the islander. He was simply the male version of Ai Fukuhara.

Shulin Kawaguchi said: My father was an orphan in the war of the island nation. He was adopted by the Huaren since he was a child and grew up in Hei Province. He married and gave birth to me. When I was twelve, I returned to the island nation with my father. So I was actually half a Huaren and half a island nation.

The two of them chatted from all over the world, and Li Rui forgot about Ye Bingling.

At this time, Tao Yuanyuan came over: Hey, do you know each other?

Shu Lin Kawaguchi turned around and saw Tao Yuanyuan, and immediately smiled and said: Hello Miss Tao.

Tao Yuanyuan pointed at him and said: Li Rui, be careful that these two Japanese devils are not good things.

Kawaguchi Zhoulin smiled and said: Miss Tao, why do you say that?

Tao Yuanyuan curled her lips: Didn’t the paintings of the Japanese artists you introduced to me last time say they doubled in two years? It’s been three years, and not only did they not rise but also fell!

Shulin Kawaguchi smiled bitterly: The island country's economy has stagnated since the financial crisis in 2008, and the enthusiasm for collecting is much worse than before. Be more patient, and when the island country's economy recovers, the price will definitely rise!

When Li Rui heard this, he was a little curious: Taoyuanyuan, do you still collect paintings from the island country?

I don’t know, it’s all introduced by Zhou Lin. By the way, don’t call him Kawaguchi, Zhou Lin. This is his name in China before! Tao Yuanyuan smiled.

Li Rui asked: Zhou Lin, what paintings do you represent by Japanese artists?

Zhou Lin said a few names casually, but Li Rui had never heard of them.

Suddenly, Zhou Lin said: Mr. Li, I have a good investment opportunity now. I know a bank employee named Hei Hanoi. He has collected more than 30 works by Michito Nara. I want to package them for sale recently. I wonder if you are interested?

who?

Nara Mitoto?

Li Rui remained silent.

The three musketeers of the island country's contemporary art, Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami and Mitochi Nara, are famous in more than ten years.

However, in 2010, Mitochi Nara was far less famous than ten years later, and the price of the works was not high.

Three months ago, a painting of "Little Pilgrim" by Mitochi Nara was sold by Sotheby's Auction in New York, with a transaction price of only 220,000 magnesium.

In another seven or eight years, one painting can capture 1.8 million magnesium.

And Mitota Nara's "The Knife Behind" was sold at a sky-high price of HK$190 million at the 2019 Sotheby's auction on Hong Kong Island!
