Gao Meiqing's words were stuck in her throat. She wanted to say that Zhang Junping was asking for an exorbitant price, but she couldn't say it.
Is it an exorbitant price?
Yes!
Who is Zhang Daqian?
That was the great master of modern calligraphy and painting!
How could Zhang Junping and He De dare to compare with the great master?
Or trade one of your works for a large Qianshi painting.
Ten paintings by Zhang Daqian, owned by Gao Meiqing.
As a collector and the director of the Art Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Gao Meiqing has collected many works by famous artists.
Gao Meiqing collected hundreds of paintings by famous modern painters such as Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Wu Changshuo, Pan Tianshou, Huang Binhong, Lin Fengmian, and Li Keran.
Therefore, Gao Meiqing does not miss these ten paintings.
However, it is not worth exchanging ten paintings for one Zhang Junping work.
Even if this piece of work is made using ancient mechanism techniques, it is not worth it in Gao Meiqing's opinion.
But this cannot be said, because the car models made by Zhang Junping using mechanism techniques are indeed exquisite and exquisite.
Gao Meiqing was worried that if she said it was not worth it, Zhang Junping would fall out and stop exchanging with her.
Gao Meiqing was determined to win Zhang Junping's giant wood sculpture.
What Gao Meiqing valued was not only Zhang Junping's carving skills, nor Lin Fengmian's comments on the work, but the historical background and political significance represented by this giant wood sculpture.
The value of a work is not only the technical level of the work itself, but also various other additional values.
Gao Meiqing looked forward to it, glanced at Zhang Junping, and then said: "It can be seen that Mr. Zhang put a lot of thought into these car models, so I won't win people's love."
"Haha! If that's the case, forget it!" Zhang Junping chuckled.
Zhang Junping had already known Gao Meiqing's refusal to exchange.
He is not disappointed, nor does he want to change.
If these car models are sold, even if they do not contain intellectual property rights, why can't a car model be sold for tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars?
With tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, what kind of paintings can’t be bought when you return to China?
Even paintings by Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian can be purchased in large quantities.
After all, domestic calligraphy and painting are not very valuable now. Paintings by the top ten modern painters are clearly marked at prices in Beijing art shops.
Gao Meiqing stayed for a short while and then left.
Zhang Junping did not try to persuade him to stay.
He turned around and whispered to Huang Xue.
Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the museum to close in the afternoon.
Toyoda Yushin once again hurried to the booth of Zhang Junping's works.
"Junping-kun, we meet again!" Toyota Youxin came up and gave Zhang Junping a deep bow.
This time Toyota came prepared. Before coming, it specifically inquired about Zhang Junping's information.
"Mr. Toyota, we meet again!" Zhang Junping smiled and nodded at Toyota Yushin.
"This is my little thought, please accept it Junping-kun!" Toyoda Yuxin held a scroll in both hands and handed it to Zhang Junping.
"What is this?" Zhang Junping didn't answer, but asked doubtfully.
"I know Junpingjun is a famous Chinese painter, and I personally like Chinese calligraphy and painting very much...
This picture of old man Shiraishi's shrimp play is given to Junpei-kun, and I ask Junpei-kun not to refuse." Toyoda Yushin said and bowed again at ninety degrees.
Japan is a nation with split personalities, extremely polite and brutal, extremely humble and extremely arrogant.
Zhang Junping took the painting casually, and then said with a bright smile: "Mr. Toyota is too polite, so I will be disrespectful!"
When faced with the enemy's sugar-coated shells, the best approach is to leave the sugar-coated shells behind and hit the shells back.
After accepting Toyoda Yushin's gift, Zhang Junping said directly without waiting for Toyota Yushin to speak: "Mr. Toyota's purpose is these car models, right?
We are all understanding people, so there is no need to hide it. If you have any ideas, let’s talk openly.”
"..." Zhang Junping's straightforwardness left Toyota speechless.
This was different from the Chinese people he knew.
Zhang Junping continued: "These car models of mine, more accurately, should be industrial appearance designs, am I right?
I don’t need to say more about what kind of impact these exterior designs can have on an automobile company?”
Zhang Junping's bright smile looked like a cunning fox to Toyota Yushin.
Toyota Yushin had to admit that this young man not only had superb skills, but also had excellent vision.
Toyota Yushin wanted to refute and opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute.
If faced with an inexperienced person, Toyota has the confidence and confidence that it can win at a very small cost by just fooling around.
But now, Zhang Junping has made it so clear that if he tries to deceive him again, he will only make the other party look down on him.
"Jun Pingjun, these car models you designed...oh! The appearance design of your cars is very advanced and beautiful, and it is ahead of all models on the market today.
We at Toyota are very sincere in buying these designs from Junping-kun, and please take good care of Junping-kun!" Toyota Yushin said, bowing deeply at 90 degrees to Zhang Junping.
"Haha, then I wonder what Mr. Toyota's sincerity is?" Zhang Junping asked with a chuckle.
"This..." Toyoda Yuxin didn't expect it to go so smoothly. He actually entered the price negotiation stage directly. He was still a little unprepared.
After thinking for a moment, Toyota Yushin raised a finger and said, "I am willing to spend 10 million to buy these car exterior designs."
"Dollar?"
“Hong Kong dollars!”
"Haha!" Zhang Junping laughed twice but said nothing.
Although Zhang Junping said nothing, the disdain on his face was clearly evident.
"Junping-kun, with ten million Hong Kong dollars, you can buy a luxury house in Repulse Bay, Xiangjiang, and live comfortably for the rest of your life." Toyoda Yushin said seductively.
"Oh! The mansion in Repulse Bay! I don't think I need it. I'm not from Hong Kong, and I don't plan to stay in Hong Kong for a long time.
So, let’s forget it!” Zhang Junping said casually.
"No! Junping-kun, if you have any requests, you can make them, and we will discuss them slowly.
When we talk about business, we just talk between you and me!" Toyoda Yushin said hurriedly.
Although Toyota Yushin doesn't speak Chinese very well, he understands Chinese culture very well.
"Haha!" Zhang Junping chuckled again and continued: "I'm sorry, Mr. Toyota, I'm not a businessman, so I'm not used to your businessman ways.
Since Mr. Toyota asked me to say it, then I will say it!
My conditions are very simple, one million US dollars plus one thousandth of the commission.
Of course, if Mr. Toyota wants to buy it out in one go, that's fine too.
Then, just one appearance design costs ten million dollars." Zhang Junping put away his smile and said solemnly to Toyota Yushin.
"This is impossible!" Toyoda Yushin yelled outright.
