Chapter 478 Only the old driver knows
Time flies very quickly, and it is unknowingly the eighth day of the Chinese New Year. At this time, there are only 3 days left before the opening of the "Yingshi Cup".
At noon, Li Xiangping was looking at the surrounding environment somewhere in the northeast corner of the North Fourth Ring Road of the Capital.
Well, this place actually belongs to Chaoyang District, the capital city, and its full name is Wangjing Community in Chaoyang District - it is the place that was later occupied by Bangzi.
The place where Li Xiangping is now stationed was a piece of peppercorns. Around the early 1990s, the Chengkai Group in Beijing built the first batch of residential communities in this piece of peppercorns, which was homophonic to the peppercorns, so it was named "Huajiadi Community".
In the next few years, the government continued to invest in development. The Huajiadi land is now divided into several large and small areas: "Huajiadi Xili", "Huajiadi Beili" and "Huajiadi Nanli", which is considered a larger residential living area in Wangjing.
Three years ago, the Central Academy of Fine Arts moved to this place, which led to a large number of artists gathering nearby. In short, regular painters, wandering painters, pheasant painters, and all kinds of people are available.
After a while, "Huajiadi" has gradually been nicknamed "Painterland" by people, and its real original name "Huajiadi" has now been forgotten.
After waiting for a while, Li Xiangping saw Zhao Daokai coming out of the Academy of Fine Arts with a dejected look, and he smiled and greeted him:
"Daokai, have you contacted the model?"
Zhao Daokai replied listlessly: "No, it's not that easy."
Li Xiangping smiled. This was actually what he expected. Zhao Daokai insisted on learning painting for so many years, but before that, he mainly conducted still life training. Now that he is determined to be a great painter, it is natural to have such an idea if he wants to do more advanced dynamic training.
It’s a pity that although the idea is beautiful, the reality is relatively cruel. Influenced by the inherent concepts of the Chinese people, the group of truly and professional nude models is already rare in China. Even though he is already famous now and his painting talent has attracted the attention of some painting masters in a small range, as long as others see his age, those professional models are basically impossible to pay attention to him.
Seeing that Zhao Daokai was still depressed, Li Xiangping smiled and said, "Haha, don't do this, let me show you two clear paths since you are desperate. "
"Speak and listen."
"First," Li Xiangping raised a finger: "I just looked at it. There are many wild models around here. Since it is not very professional, then look for wild models. At worst, you can spend some money."
After Zhao Daokai thought for a while, he shook his head straightforwardly: "This road is not open, the second one."
Li Xiangping said strangely: "Why can't it work?"
Zhao Daokai said: "What I learned is not ordinary oil painting, but a super realistic school of painting. It takes at least half a year to complete a successful work. If you have a wild model, it will be... no, absolutely not."
Zhao Daokai shook his head like a rattle, but as for why he couldn't do it, he didn't say anything specifically.
"Why can't it work? Is it because the cost of hiring people is very high?"
"The cost is one aspect, but more importantly, it is a problem of cooperation. OK, don't say too much, now you will talk about your second solution."
"Since the first path is not good, you can only sacrifice your own color."
"Sacrifice for the hue?"
"Yes, yes?" Li Xiangping smiled and said, "From now on, you can go out and roam. If you can hook up with someone and be willing to be your model, will everything be solved?"
"This, this..."
Seeing Zhao Daokai's appearance, Li Xiangping decided to make a big fuss: "Haha, why are you still going to be in the painting world? You didn't notice a phenomenon in your painting world: Before becoming famous, many big guys had found their wives or lovers to be models, why is this? He couldn't afford to hire them before becoming famous, so he could only make this decision. Daokai, think about it, then you can't copy the road to fame of your predecessors?"
Li Xiangping said this, and Zhao Daokai was indeed moved:
"It seems...it seems to be the reason..."
"Haha, can what I said make no sense?"
Li Xiangping laughed and said, "So Daokai, let's not stay in this broken place now. The next key point is, I think we need to choose a good place to see where you go to swimmers and where you can soak the most suitable girl."
"Then...what do you think is the right place?"
"Haha, what else can it be," Li Xiangping said naturally:
"Of course, the three famous courtyards in the capital are the most suitable. You can't find them in the heavens and earth, right? Even if you look in the heavens and earth, you might also find the people from the three famous courtyards."
The so-called "three famous courtyards in the capital" are a saying that was circulated in this era: the number one is called Yihongyuan, this is the Central Academy of Drama, the second is called Piaoxiangyuan, and this is the Beijing Film Academy.
Well, the above two art academies are well-known, so it is not surprising to know these two. Only those who know the third one are the real veteran drivers.
The third one is the University of Foreign Trade in Beijing, which is known as the "Lichun Academy" these days.
"These three gardens are not good, not good..."
Li Xiangping glared at him and said, "Why is this not good? Can you find a more suitable place to go... By the way, Daokai, don't you really want to go to heaven and earth to find it?"
"Get out, you're just thinking about heaven and earth every day," Zhao Daokai glared back and said:
"You don't understand if you tell someone like you. Do you know that the so-called beauty is in the bones but not in the skin? Therefore, if you really want to find a model, those three courtyards may not be suitable."
"Then what place do you think is the most suitable?"
"Or why don't we go to the dance academy first?"
When Li Xiangping heard Zhao Daokai report this name, he stopped talking. He thought to himself that he should not be a time traveler, but in this regard, Zhao Daokai is an old driver, a real old driver at the professional rogue level.
"Haha, that's fine, the dance academy is just the dance academy, now you have the final say."
However, the Beijing Dance Academy is in Haidian District. The distance is a bit long. Zhao Daokai drove out the broken Pousang Tower and drove Li Xiangping towards the target point. While in the car, Li Xiangping chatted with Zhao Daokai in a mess, while trying to recall what stars had appeared in the Dance Academy.
It's just a pity that although Li Xiangping is a playboy who has traveled back from time to time, he was not very interested in film and television in his previous life, so no matter how hard he tries to recall, he can never capture more useful information.
"Xiangping, I heard that all your bonuses were confiscated by Uncle Li?"
"Ah? Haha, that's not called confiscation. That's my investment, do you understand? I've become a shareholder now..."
When Li Xiangping heard Zhao Daokai mention this, he immediately laughed. He remembered that when he was in his study a few days ago, he made up his mind to encourage his old man to make up his mind, and at the same time he saw that the entire development plan still had certain flaws, which made him have a sudden idea.
He pointed out to his old man at that time: Considering that since he is preparing to develop into a high-end property, the surrounding environment, especially greening work, is crucial, and the greening plan in the original development plan is obviously not possible.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiangping proposed to Li Daguo at that time: he hoped that his old man would "contract" the entire "Galaxy Bay" greening project and he would complete the environmental transformation and greening upgrade of the entire project.
Obviously, when he first proposed this idea, he was despised by Li Datu. The reason for his contempt was very simple. Li Datu believed that Li Xiangping was not strong enough and his current wealth was enough to not even have 10 million yuan. So such a little money would be of no use for the entire 10 billion-level project, and it might not even be heard if he threw it in.
Then Li Xiangping tried to press forward step by step, while Li Da's rich man fought and retreated and finally compromised.
Then when Li Datui finally signed the Underworld Alliance, of course, this means that he has made up his mind that he will definitely promote this project. This is the first thing that makes Li Xiangping happy.
What made Li Xiangping even more happy was:
"Haha, you know, the betting agreement. The old man and I also signed a betting agreement, so you should quickly curry favor with me, because in two years, I will be a wealthy rich man worth hundreds of millions of yuan. Therefore, if you want to curry favor, hurry up as soon as possible, otherwise it might be too late to arrive there."
It was obvious that Zhao Daokai had no idea what Li Xiangping was talking about at all, so he scoffed at it:
"Haha, your brain is not burned out, right? I really don't know what you are talking about..."
Of course, Li Xiangping doesn’t care about this. How much can you expect him to know if a high school student is not yet fully grown?
The "bet agreement" mentioned by Li Xiangping is like this: in the entire "Galaxy Bay" project, Li Xiangping paid 10 million in his personal name, and he spent the 10 million yuan specifically to invest in the greening work of the entire project.
As for the benefit, Li Xiangping dug a hole for the old man. He made an appointment with Li Datu: Just take 10 billion as the boundary. If the final sales are less than 10 billion, then Li Xiangping will not take any money and give it to his old man as 10 million.
If the sales volume is more than 10 billion, then Li Xiangping will require participation in the share, and the additional part of Li Xiangping will require 37 to 46% of the account.
Li Xiangping still remembers that after he expressed this idea that day, let alone the rich Li Da, even Zhao Jiadong was so moved. Both of them might be thinking, why is this child so sensible and so filial?
Of course, only Li Xiangping knew in his heart: "...hehe, in real history, the Galaxy Bay finally reached more than 11.5 billion in sales. So according to the four or six points they offered, how much can I get? More than 600 million is close to 700 million, right? One million can be exchanged for so many, this transaction is done..."
Li Xiangping continued to have his beautiful dream, but unfortunately the beautiful dream was quickly interrupted by Zhao Daokai:
Chapter completed!
