After a day of deliberation, as soon as the exhibition hall opened the next day, people from Honda, Nissan, American car companies, and German car companies came to the door one after another.
In the end, like Yushin Toyoda, he was scared off by Zhang Junping's conditions.
Zhang Junping was not disappointed either. His conditions were definitely not something that managers like them in Hong Kong could agree to.
Don't talk about them, even at the company headquarters, the chairman has to convene a board meeting to make a decision.
Therefore, Zhang Junping is neither disappointed nor anxious.
To paraphrase a line from a later movie, let the bullets fly for a while.
In the next few days, Zhang Junping lived a fulfilling and happy life every day.
Receive artists from Xiangjiang and view the works of other artists.
Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. After viewing a large number of calligraphy, painting and sculpture works, Zhang Junping felt that he had gained a lot.
He himself also received a lot of praise.
After a few days, Zhang Junping became somewhat famous in Xiangjiang.
There are many collectors who want to collect his calligraphy, painting and wood carving works at high prices.
But they were all rejected by Zhang Junping. He is really not short of money now, so he doesn't need to sell his works for money.
You know, in the past few days, Richard, the financial manager of Standard Chartered Bank, has made a lot of money for him.
In just a few days, his assets have increased by 20%.
Twenty percent income doesn't sound like much.
But don't forget that Zhang Junping has a large capital base, five million pounds and more than ten million US dollars.
Twenty percent, that's more than two million US dollars.
This was the 1980s. With more than two million US dollars, one could be called a rich man in Hong Kong, let alone China.
The richest man in the country would not dare to say anything about taking these two million US dollars back to China.
But, he is definitely the richest man in a certain prefecture-level city.
It was precisely with this confidence that Zhang Junping flatly rejected collectors who wanted to pay high prices to buy his calligraphy and paintings.
Even some collectors have offered him a high price of five thousand yuan per square foot.
Zhang Junping was not moved at all.
If the conversation is about speculation and the person is pleasing to the eye, Zhang Junping will give the other party one or several calligraphy and paintings, or an improvised wood carving.
In the entire exhibition hall of the Great Hall, Zhang Junping is the most stylish person.
Because even Central Academy of Fine Arts’ team leader and deputy dean Jin Shangyi sold more than a dozen calligraphy and paintings at high prices.
Only Zhang Junping was determined not to sell his works.
This operation made Zhang Junping even more famous.
At the very least, Zhang Junping is completely famous among the entire exchange delegation.
As we all know, Central Academy of Fine Arts has produced a new artist who is not moved by money and will not give in to five buckets of rice.
Time flew by, and fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye.
The art exchange delegation's exchange visit to Hong Kong lasted for twenty days.
Including the previous three days, there are only two days left before the end.
Just when Zhang Junping and others were starting a large purchase and preparing for their return trip, Toyota Yushin came to visit again.
This time Toyota Yuxin did not come alone, but accompanied another short old man.
There were more than ten people accompanying us, and the formation was very large.
Zhang Junping felt happy when he saw Toyota Yushin and his party.
I thought to myself that the big fish finally took the bait.
Sure enough, Toyoda Yushin first bowed ninety degrees to Zhang Junping, and then said: "Junping-kun, this is Toyota's executive director, senior vice president Toyoda Shengjiu..."
Following Toyoda Yushin's introduction, Toyoda Shengjiu also stepped forward and bowed slightly to Zhang Junping, "This is our first meeting, Junping-kun. Please take care of me!"
Zhang Junping smiled and stretched out his hand, smiling brightly, "Mr. Toyota, nice to meet you!"
"Junping-kun is really young and promising! He is so young and has achieved such achievements in calligraphy, painting and sculpture. It is really enviable!" Toyoda Shengjiu came up and praised Zhang Junping first.
Toyota Shengjiu is a real China expert, at least he can speak fluent Chinese.
"Thank you, Mr. Toyota!" Zhang Junping smiled reservedly.
"Junpei-kun, I admire Chinese calligraphy and painting very much. I am also a director of the Japanese Painting and Calligraphy Association. Is it an honor to have a conversation with Junpei-kun?" Toyoda Shengjiu smiled with a smile on his face, as if he was being treated by a gentle elder.
My own outstanding junior.
"It's a great honor!" Zhang Junping smiled and nodded.
Toyoda Shengjiu nodded to the beauty with big eyes and pointed chin who was following him.
This beauty will be an Internet celebrity in future generations, and she also looks like an Internet celebrity.
She is not very tall, but she is petite and cute.
The Internet celebrity beauty stepped forward, smiled sweetly at Zhang Junping, bowed slightly, and spread rice paper on Zhang Junping's painting table.
Then he rolled up his sleeves, exposed his jade wrists, and began to grind the ink.
Red sleeves add fragrance, plain hands grind ink.
This old devil really knows how to enjoy it.
Zhang Junping couldn't help but feel envious.
"Junping-kun, I'm going to show my shame first!"
Toyota Shengjiu nodded cordially to Zhang Junping, said a polite word, and stepped forward to pick up the brush.
He also took a seat, stood directly in front of the painting desk, waved his brush with his wrist, brushed dots, and wrote four big characters.
"Young Talent"
This is a compliment to Zhang Junping.
This old devil definitely has a way of combining calligraphy display with praise of Zhang Junping, which makes people happier than pure verbal praise.
This is a master at playing with people's hearts.
These are all trivial details. Toyoda Shengjiu's calligraphy skills are indeed profound, his writing is vigorous, powerful, and majestic.
Zhang Junping looked at it and nodded secretly. This skill is no worse than his own.
"Mr. Toyota, thank you!" Zhang Junping smiled and handed over to Toyota Shengjiu Gong.
"Hahaha!
Junping-kun is worthy of these four words!" Toyoda Shengjiu laughed boldly.
"Jun Ping Jun, I'm going to give you some ideas and ask Jun Ping Jun for advice!"
Zhang Junping was not polite and walked to the painting desk. The internet celebrity beauty had already helped Zhang Junping lay out the rice paper and grind the ink.
He also enjoyed the privilege of grinding ink with his bare hands.
He raised the pen to his wrist and began to write.
Writing while standing with a pen hanging from your wrist sounds like nothing.
In fact, this aspect can stump most Chinese calligraphers.
Chinese calligraphers are accustomed to writing while sitting.
When writing while standing with your wrist hanging, the force used is different.
Zhang Junping was able to write while standing up, but he was forced to do so by poverty.
In the past, I had no money to buy rice paper, so I could only practice calligraphy on bluestone with a brush dipped in water.
Over time, I developed the method of using strength to write while standing with my wrist hanging.
"Laoyi Fuli"
This is Zhang Junping’s response to Toyota Shengjiu.
Lao Yi is full of energy and aims for thousands of miles.
"Hahaha!" Looking at the four big characters written by Zhang Junping, Toyota Shengjiu let out a hearty laugh.
The two people who had just met were like good friends who had known each other for many years, looking at each other and laughing, and they were extremely affectionate.
"Junping Jun, I am very interested in these car models of yours. Is it convenient for us to have a chat?" Toyota Shengjiu politely extended his hand to invite Zhang Junping to the small conference room nearby.
"Haha, Mr. Toyota is an elite in the business world. Senior, I also want to have a chat with Mr. Toyota!"
