After returning, Ye Shiliu immediately sent someone to investigate Ye Yanqi.
During this investigation, the two discovered something unusual.
Ye Yanqi seemed to appear out of thin air. In the past 20 years or so, it was as if there was no such person, and there was no trace of her life at all.
The information they could find was that Ye Yanqi was very weak and had congenital heart disease. He had been practicing medicine with the miracle doctor Chen He since he was a child.
Ye Shiqi was very puzzled: "Even if I follow Mr. Chen to practice medicine, she should show up during festivals. Why has my grandpa never mentioned her? This Ye Yanqi is so weird. There has been nothing in the past 20 years."
Ye Shiliu leaned back and leaned on the sofa, tapping his fingertips on the armrest next to him, "My grandpa must have covered this up. Didn't you listen to what Ye Yanqi said? She has lost her memory. Many things have changed."
Don't remember.
Something must have happened to her, so she came to Grandpa Tang's side. Grandpa Tang chose her as his heir, so he erased all traces of her past, so we can't find out."
"What should we do?" Ye Shiqi's eyes widened.
Ye Shiliu pondered: "Since Grandpa Tang deliberately erased it, we'd better not go into details. It would be bad if Grandpa Tang was alerted."
"Don't delve into it?" Ye Shiqi was completely confused. "If we don't delve into the past, we don't understand anything. How can we design Ye Yanqi?"
"Based on her recent behavior." Ye Shiliu pointed to a piece of news, "Didn't it say that Ye Yanqi likes a painter named Potu very much and plans to buy his paintings.
We can make plans in advance, sell the "Breaking Ground" painting to a high price, cheat Ye Yanqi hard, and then find a way to let Grandpa Tang know about this, so that Grandpa Tang will be disappointed with Ye Yanqi.
Now that Ye Yanqi has just appeared, we are not in a position to act rashly, but we can use these small things to make Grandpa gradually realize that Ye Yanqi is too naive and has poor methods, and is not qualified to take over."
"Awesome!" Ye Shiqi's eyes lit up and he praised: "It has to be a brother, but he is awesome. Leave this matter to me. I will contact that "Breaking Earth"."
Ye Shiqi acted quickly and contacted Potu the next day.
Potu was a thin, somewhat decadent young man. Hearing that Ye Shiqi admired his paintings, he immediately regarded Ye Shiqi as a close friend.
"Are you interested in cooperating? I have a way to increase your worth and make you a lot of money." Ye Shiqi got straight to the point.
Of course Potu wants to make money. He dreams of selling his paintings. However, he has no say in this matter. Potu has signed a contract with Tingting Gallery. In the past three years, all his paintings must be sold to Tingting Gallery first, and
Prices cannot be raised at will.
Ye Shiqi frowned: "How do you sign this kind of cooperation?"
Potu smiled bitterly: "Sorry, for survival."
Ye Shiqi was extremely disgusted. He didn't know what Ye Yanqi's vision was, but he actually liked the paintings of such a poor painter. Wouldn't it be good to collect famous calligraphy and paintings?
"Okay, you should work hard to paint more now. Don't worry about temporary gains and losses. When I increase the price of your paintings, your fame will increase and your income will increase. Now you listen to my instructions and paint more paintings.
, sell all your existing works to the gallery, I will buy them from the gallery, and then invite some famous artists to comment on your paintings to make them popular first."
Ye Shiqi was meticulous and measured in her work. In order to hide her identity, she did not come forward herself. Instead, she found someone to contact Listening Gallery, and she did not buy a large number of ground-breaking paintings.
Instead, they first spend a lot of money to invite famous figures in the art world to comment and praise Potu's works, and then find people to write soft articles and promote Potu through various channels to build momentum for him.
When the prices of Potu's paintings gradually increased, Ye Shiqi purchased Potu's works in three batches, leaving only 10 paintings for Tingting Gallery.
After doing all this, Ye Shiqi just waited for Ye Yanqi to take the bait.
Sure enough, not long after, a mysterious man spent a lot of money to buy all the paintings that had been broken.
Although the identity of this mysterious person was not revealed, Ye Shiqi found out that this person was Ye Yanqi.
Hahaha, Ye Yanqi paid dozens of times more.
How stupid!
Ye Shiqi couldn't wait to tell Grandpa Tang about the matter. She found an opportunity to visit Grandpa Tang with Ye Shiliu and deliberately mentioned breaking the ground.
"Speaking of which, I'm really lucky. I bought a lot of ground-breaking paintings before the price went up." Ye Qiqi exclaimed, "If it had been a little longer, the price would have shot up.
Cousin Yan Qi, have you paid attention? Now he has become famous. After the mysterious man spent a lot of money to buy his paintings, he became completely popular and his net worth doubled. Now there are art exhibitions everywhere, and many people are rushing to buy his paintings.
You can’t even buy any of the paintings.”
Speaking of this, Ye Shiqi pretended to be confused: "I wonder, who is that mysterious man who spends a lot of money to buy Potu's works? If it weren't for him, Potu's value would not have risen so high?"
Grandpa Ye was also very curious and asked: "Have you found the person? Who is the mysterious person?"
"Grandpa." Yan Qi blinked his eyes and raised his chin and said proudly, "It's me. You didn't expect that that mysterious person is me."
"Cousin Yan Qi, it turns out it's you!" Ye Shiqi exclaimed, "Oh, it turns out you like to break ground. You come to me. I have a lot of groundbreaking works in my hand. I bought them before the price increased.
, you spent a lot of money this time.
He was a little transparent before he broke ground, and his works are not valuable at all."
Ye Shiliu rolled up his sleeves and said: "Cousin Yan Qi, do you want to invest in calligraphy and painting? This industry is very deep and there are many ways to get into it. However, if cousin Yan Qi is interested, I can introduce you to someone."
I'll give it to you. He's a master in the investment field of calligraphy and painting, and he can guide you."
Hearing what they said, Yan Qi was a little moved. Grandpa really had a good eye. Brothers and sisters Ye Shiliu and Ye Shiqi were both warm-hearted and good people.
She just mentioned it casually, and they were eager to help. What good people!
Yan Qi shook his head: "You have misunderstood. I don't want to invest. I just like ground-breaking works. As for what you said is expensive? In fact, it's not."
Speaking of this, Yan Qi was a little embarrassed, "Actually, that mysterious person was my own marketing agent. I bought Tingting Gallery a long time ago and wanted Potu to concentrate on painting for me, but I didn't expect that his works would suddenly become popular.
People were talking about him everywhere, and some people were paying big bucks to buy his paintings.
I took this opportunity to create a hype, pretending to be a mysterious person and buying his works at a huge price, but in fact, it was just a left hand and a right hand, and the Listening Gallery was all mine."
Hearing this, the brothers and sisters Ye Shiliu and Ye Shiqi were completely dumbfounded.
What does this mean? Are they making a wedding dress for Ye Yanqi? They worked so hard, took advantage of their connections, and spent a lot of money to promote it, but in the end they got Ye Yanqi’s advantage!
"You, why do you want to buy a gallery?" Ye Shiqi stuttered.
Yan Qi tilted his head, puzzled: "Why can't I buy a gallery? After Potu signed a contract with the gallery, I bought Tingting Gallery so that I could be the first to get Potu's works.
In fact, I already bought the gallery when I first saw the ground-breaking paintings.”
"So early?" Ye Shiqi couldn't believe it, "Didn't you do some research first to understand the market?"
Yan Qi didn't care at all: "What's there to know? It's just a few paintings. If you like them, buy them."
Ye Shiqi:......
I bought it if I liked it! It’s really domineering.
