Chapter 221 Paying tribute to the artist is to imitate his paintings
Chapter 221 To pay tribute to an artist is to imitate his paintings
Just going to the gallery gave Zhang Junping a new idea.
There are more than 10,000 oil paintings created by famous modern painters in his space, worth at least several billion dollars.
Unfortunately, it cannot be turned into cash.
But it doesn't matter, he can draw it.
Because he has inherited Western painting, he is familiar with the painting styles of famous modern painters in the space.
Nowadays, he has the best of all the masters. He can imitate the painting styles of famous Western painters.
However, don’t be in a hurry, let’s enjoy the beautiful scenery of Zurich first, and then taste the food of Zurich.
Zurich is definitely its own lucky city.
In order to express his gratitude to Zurich, Zhang Junping decided to give up the idea that had just come up again and again on Bahnhofstrasse.
That is, if he makes a zero-dollar purchase on Bahnhofstrasse, he will definitely become the richest man in the world.
The temptation was so great that Zhang Junping couldn't help but want to take action if he didn't still have reason.
The reason why we didn't take action is definitely not because the museum space cannot be used to retrieve objects from a distance, and the gold inside cannot be removed through the vault.
Simply because he is kind and honest.
Back at the Hilton Hotel, Zhang Junping put the easel in place, fixed the drawing board, and hung the canvas.
Take out the oil paint and start mixing colors.
In memory of the great artist, he passed away five years and seven months ago.
Zhang Junping decided to paint a Picasso painting first to pay tribute to the great artist.
Mainly, he has a collection of early-century linen canvases in his space.
This is from the oil painting treasure.
What should I draw?
Picasso was a prolific painter with countless works throughout his life. What should he paint?
Draw a sculptor.
At Zhang Junping's level, there is no need for a rough draft, colors and three-dimensional space are all at your fingertips.
Even if it is an imitation, Zhang Junping would not choose to paint exactly the same as Picasso's sculptor.
That's the stupidest imitation.
If two pictures are exactly the same, one must be true and the other false.
If the subject matter is the same but the details are slightly different, collectors will think that Picasso painted two paintings.
No one stipulates that a painter can only paint one painting of a subject, right?
Zhang Junping's brush strokes are flying, and various colors are constantly piled up on the canvas, creating magical chemical reactions.
It turned out to be a great work of surrealism.
When Picasso created this picture, it was when his marriage was in crisis, and the picture is full of reflections on human nature.
There is sadness, nostalgia, and determination.
After ten minutes of finishing the sculptor, I put it aside and waited for the ink to dry.
Then he took out another drawing board, hung the canvas and continued to create.
The greatest artist of the 20th century, Picasso's painting style is changeable.
To pay tribute to a great artist, how can you only draw one picture?
You should have a few paintings from each period. It would be best to have dozens of paintings from each period if you have time.
Let’s have another one from childhood!
Science and charity.
Picasso's paintings from this period are quite satisfactory.
In terms of Chinese metaphysics, Picasso's paintings during this period were still at the stage of seeing mountains as mountains and water as water.
Here is a picture of life in the blue period.
From the Rose Period: Boy with a Pipe, here’s a picture.
From the three-dimensional period: The Maid of Avignon, here is a picture.
Classical period: Here is a portrait of Olga.
Surrealism: Just painted.
From the period of transformation: A portrait of Dora Maar.
Pastoral period: Eugène Delacroix, here is a picture.
During this period, Picasso had reached the realm of seeing mountains as mountains and water as water.
The style of painting can be changed at will, and no longer rigidly adhere to the form.
That night, Zhang Junping hardly slept.
The room is filled with his paintings that pay homage to Picasso.
If there was really no place to put it, he could still draw it.
Some people say that oil painting is slow. In fact, it is not that creation is slow, but that the ink in oil painting dries slowly.
There is a ravine in my chest, and I feel like I have a spirit when I write.
A true master of art paints very quickly.
Of course, you only saw his speed, but not the hard work he put in behind the scenes.
Maybe a picture only takes five or ten minutes, but it has been conceived in my mind for hours, days, or even months.
At dawn, Zhang Junping fell into a daze.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Zhang Junping got up, washed up and had breakfast.
Zhang Junping picked up a bicycle and rode it on the street.
I couldn't stand it anymore after I kept painting, so I went out to have some fun and buy some gifts for my family.
After walking around Zurich and shopping in luxury stores, Zhang Junping returned to the hotel.
As for the things you buy, you can directly ask the merchant to deliver them to your hotel.
Zhang Junping returned to the hotel and booked another room.
His old room was already filled with canvases, leaving him with almost nowhere to put his feet.
It's a pity that Zhang Junping doesn't have the time acceleration function in his museum space, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome.
In the next two days, Zhang Junping didn't go anywhere. He just stayed in the hotel, eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, and drawing every day.
In two days, 345 oil paintings were painted.
These oil paintings are not limited to Picasso, including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Raphael, Rubens, Rembrandt, Auguste Dominique Ingres, Paul
Works by more than a dozen famous modern and contemporary artists including Shang Sai.
It took five rooms to display these paintings.
On the third day, Zhang Junping arrived at the headquarters of UBS on time.
"Miss Annabell, three days have passed. Do you have any good news for me?" Zhang Junping sat opposite Annabell, looking at her proud career line and asked with a smile.
Today, Annabelle was wearing a small gray suit and a white shirt, with two buttons of the shirt unbuttoned.
Revealing her pink and white neck, a rose-colored necklace hangs around her neck, exuding a charming color.
"Mr. Zhang, fortunately you have lived up to your mission! I finally convinced those hateful guys.
The total is 67% of the shares, which guarantees you 100% control over the textile factory." Annabelle showed a charming smile.
In theory, as long as you hold more than 50% of the shares of a company, you can have absolute control.
But in fact, a little more than 50% of the shares does not give you complete control to do whatever you want in the company.
Many important matters, related to the development of the company, still need to be discussed with other partners and an agreement can be reached before they can be implemented.
Only those with more than 67% of the shares truly have complete control.
In the company, you are the boss, and all decisions you make can be implemented without the consent of others.
"So, Miss Annabelle, how many Swiss francs do I need to pay for these shares?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"According to our assessment of the textile factory, the market value of the textile factory is eight million Swiss francs.
Because of Givens' wrong decision, the market value of the textile factory declined, and was finally assessed at 7.2 million Swiss francs.
Therefore, Mr. Givens's 37% share is CHF 2,664,000.
The additional 30% of the shares acquired were acquired at a premium of 10% based on the original valuation of 8 million Swiss francs.
For this part you need to pay CHF 2.64 million.
A total of 5,304,000 Swiss francs needs to be paid.
In addition, our bank will also charge 1% of the transaction amount as intermediary service fee.
You don't need to pay Mr. Givens' part, you only need to pay the other 30% of the intermediary service fee." Annabell clicked on the calculator and said.
"Very good!" Zhang Junping nodded.
Annabel's work efficiency is very high, and the trait of capitalists who are desperate for money is also fully exposed.
"Sell all the gold futures contracts for me."
"all?"
"right!
Deposit the money into this account!" Zhang Junping took out the digital age company account and handed it to Annabel.
"Mr. Zhang, don't you want to acquire shares in the textile factory? How..."
"Miss Annabelle, it is impossible for me to acquire these shares in my own name.
I can only make acquisitions in the name of the company, can you understand this?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Understandable!" Annabel showed an ugly smile.
The problem of overdue repayment of a loan of 500 Swiss francs was solved, but another customer with a deposit of 9 million US dollars was lost.
Annabell didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"Mr. Zhang, what I mean is that you don't need to go to so much trouble.
You can definitely open another public account in our bank, and then purchase textile factories through this public account.
Our bank can help you with all the procedures for opening an account without wasting your time." Annabel approached Zhang Junping carefully, exposing her Himalayan peaks directly under Zhang Junping's eyes.
"Miss Annabelle, I don't want to use the digital age to acquire such a company.
Instead, we are planning to use another subsidiary of Digital Times Holdings to acquire it.
Therefore, it is better not to trouble Miss Annabell.
However, I am still very satisfied with Miss Annabell's service.
So, Jiamei Textile, oh, this is the newly acquired textile factory, I think I have the right to change the name, right?"
"It's absolutely okay. You have complete control over this company." Annabell nodded and affirmed.
"I still plan to place the public account of Jiamei Textile in the Union Bank of Switzerland." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your trust." The smile on Annabel's face finally became natural.
"Then, let's start now! Complete the acquisition as soon as possible so that I can continue to travel around the world." Zhang Junping reminded with a smile.
"Okay, wait a minute!" Annabel hurried out to handle various procedures for Zhang Junping.
This time it was more troublesome. I had to sell the gold futures contract first, and then transfer the money across banks to the digital age account.
Fortunately, this is Zurich, the banking capital.
Mitsubishi Bank of Japan has a branch here.
Even so, it took a day for the funds to enter the digital age account.
This is the result of a large customer who handles special matters.
Ordinary customers, just wait.
It takes seven working days to get to know it, and thirty working days to get familiar with it.
When it comes to accounts in the digital age, Zhang Junping needs to go to Mitsubishi Bank himself to complete the next operation.
Zhang Junping is also a VVIP customer at Mitsubishi Bank.
A vice president of the branch personally received Zhang Junping.
After some operations, the money was transferred to Jiamei Financial's account step by step.
Finally, the acquisition of 67% of the shares of the textile factory was completed.
After completing the acquisition, Zhang Junping came to Favali Textile Co., Ltd. accompanied by Givens.
Givens Favalli is one of the founders of this company and owns 47% of the company's shares.
After selling 37%, I still own 10% of the shares.
The other two founders and minority shareholders were eliminated in this acquisition.
Zhang Junping did not speak during the meeting.
Instead, he went directly to the chairman's office with Givens and two other shareholders.
“The next thing I will forget is the company’s $3 million capital injection.
You can all invest together or not, I won’t force you to do this." Zhang Junping said his plan straight to the point.
The three shareholders of Givens looked at each other. They did not expect that Zhang Junping would be so strong and would inject capital at the first meeting.
Still three million.
Once they do not follow suit, their shares will inevitably be diluted.
"Chairman, the company is running well now and does not need capital injection at all.
In other words, what plans does the chairman have, can you tell us about it?" Givens asked on behalf of everyone.
"I plan to expand the scale and expand it more than ten times on the existing basis."
"Chairman, although the current market still has room for growth, if it expands tenfold, the market will be completely unable to bear it.
In addition, your three million is not enough to support a tenfold expansion." Givens persuaded with difficulty.
Although the company is what it is today, it is entirely his own creation, but after all, he founded this company with his own hands.
After twenty years of development, we have reached today's situation. Just like his own child, he doesn't want to see him destroyed.
If that's the case, even if Zhang Junping has complete control of the company, he will do everything possible to fight it.
"Mr. Givens, don't worry.
When I say tenfold expansion, I don't mean expansion in Zurich.
As you said, although there is still room for growth in the European market, it has become saturated.
Why can't we look further ahead?
Such as the East!
China is my hometown. It is a huge country and a huge market.
Three million is enough to purchase textile industry equipment.
There is no need to spend money on land there, and workers' wages are ten times higher than in Zurich.
Think about it!
The huge market has not been discovered yet, so it is the best time for us to enter.
There is gold everywhere, and you don’t have to bend down to pick it up, someone will help you and stuff the gold into your pocket." Zhang Junping described the future prospects seductively.
"Chairman, is it really that good? Is there gold everywhere?" A small shareholder couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and asked.
"Of course, with the capital injection of three million, plus the money from previous acquisitions, I have invested nearly nine million U.S. dollars in real money.
If the company goes bankrupt, I will suffer the biggest loss!" Zhang Junping said solemnly.
"Okay, I agree with the chairman's plan, and I will invest!" the youngest shareholder, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.
"David, you will be proud of your decision today! This will be the wisest investment in your life.
Mr. Givens, Mr. Martin, what about you?
If you feel that my plan is not reliable, you can also choose to sell your shares to me.
According to the original valuation, I will buy it at a premium of 10%." Zhang Junping looked at Givens and Martin.
Zhang Junping's words have made it very obvious. Now it is no longer a question of whether you follow the investment or not.
It's about whether you agree or disagree with the plan.
If you agree, everyone will continue to play. If you disagree, you will be eliminated.
As for that, I won’t join the investment and I won’t sell my equity.
Then Zhang Junping welcomes it even more, because this is equivalent to lending your hundreds of thousands or millions to the company without interest.
As long as Zhang Junping is willing, he will never get any dividends in his life. Although he owns 10% of the shares, he can apply for dissolution of the company.
However, if they do not follow the investment, this investment will directly cause their shares to fall below 10%.
Zhang Junping will not give them a penny of dividends from now on.
After several more capital injections, the combined shares of the three of them did not reach 10%.
They wanted to sue the company and apply for dissolution, but they couldn't.
"I agree with the chairman's plan, and I will follow him!" Givens finally made a difficult decision.
He must guarantee 10% of his shares, otherwise he will not even have any say.
"I agree and will join the investment!" Martin also made a quick decision.
"Great! Your decision is very wise.
I announce that Givens will continue to serve as the CEO of the company from now on." Zhang Junping announced another piece of information that surprised them.
"Don't be so surprised, you have done very well in the past twenty years.
I hope you will continue to lead Jiamei Textile forward and become the largest textile giant in Europe and even the world." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Thank you, Chairman, for your trust! I will definitely work hard to do my job well." Givens stood up excitedly and delivered his inaugural speech.
The already greasy old face became even more shiny.
“The platform is set up, the funds are available, and the market has pointed it out to you.
If it still doesn't develop well, it only means there is a problem with your ability.
At that time, I will have to consider substitution." Zhang Junping hammered.
"Chairman, don't worry, if that's the case, I will resign without you having to say anything!" Givens said with a red face and full of pride.
Love can rejuvenate a man, and career can also rejuvenate a man.
"Finally, I would like to emphasize that only the three of you know about my relationship with the company.
I am not allowed to reveal any trace of my relationship with the company internally or externally." Zhang Junping looked at the three shareholders very seriously and said.
"yes!"
"Chairman, I promise that no information will be revealed from my mouth."
The three people looked at each other and quickly promised.
"Actually, if my news is revealed, you will probably suffer the most.
Because, then I would have to go to the front desk.
At the very least, Mr. Givens, your CEO is gone." Zhang Junping warned again in a joking tone.
The three people quickly promised not to reveal any information about Zhang Junping.
No one wants to have multiple mothers-in-law.
A little early update today.
Continue to ask for monthly tickets.
There are not even 200 monthly tickets a day, so there is no reason for me to add more tickets!
