I'm not the underworld

Chapter 696 I Came to See the World
Whether the painters or entrepreneurs who attended the banquet, they were all in the same circle, and they had a lot of daily contacts, and they were all acquaintances.

Only Chen Yifan and the other three were unfamiliar faces to them.

This young artist, who could be called a dark horse, was something they talked about with gusto, but Chen Yifan himself didn't seem to attract their attention.

Ten minutes after the banquet started, a handsome young man in a suit approached Chen Yifan with a wine glass.

"Hello, are you the author of the two pictures of hell and a hundred ghosts?" This young man with a very western elite temperament asked Chen Yifan with an authentic British accent.

Chen Yifan was watching Ao Lingyuan sweeping all kinds of delicacies with a doting face, when he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at him.

It looks familiar, I often see it on TV and newspapers, this is Prince William of Country Y, right?
"Sorry, I don't understand English." Chen Yifan replied with the same standard British accent.

"..." Prince William's eyes twitched, who the hell are you fooling?
Can't you be serious about fooling people?
"Excuse me, are you the author of the Hundred Ghosts of Hell?" After a pause for a few seconds, Prince William asked in not very authentic Chinese.

"It's me! Is there something wrong?" Chen Yifan asked with a faint smile.

"Ah! That's it. I think your paintings are very exquisite, with special tension, which makes people feel like they are in the scene..." Prince William began to praise.

"I heard from them that one of your paintings was wrapped in clothes. During the delivery, some workers didn't understand the situation and took off the clothes. When they saw the painting, they were scared to death!"

"So? According to the laws of your Country Y, I'm going to jail?" Chen Yifan gave him a surprised look and asked.

Prince William was taken aback by his question, he quickly smiled coyly, waved his hands and said, "No... I just want to say that Master Chen has superb painting skills."

"I don't know, is Master Chen also proficient in oil painting?" Afterwards, Prince William asked Chen Yifan again.

"No!" Chen Yifan shook his head and replied without thinking.

Prince William frowned, his expression was tangled for a moment, but he still smiled quickly: "No, it's okay, Master Chen's paintings have surpassed the skills."

"It's like this, my grandmother likes your paintings very much, I would like to ask you to draw a family portrait for us!"

Prince William continued: "I heard that you are still in high school? If this painting can please grandma, we will definitely treat the master badly!"

William was very straightforward, and Chen Yifan was also very straightforward, directly asking the price: "One billion! Since you are from country y, let's pay in pounds!"

Chen Yifan didn't think he was a painter, and he never thought of drawing for others to make money.

But in the past few days, Qin Shihuang's report came up, and he was divided into several levels!
To complete the project before the ninth day of the lunar new year, and to meet Qin Shihuang's minimum plan for house renovation, at least 5 million RMB is needed.

That was the lowest level, and the highest level in the report required 20 billion, claiming that it would definitely satisfy Chen Yifan.

Although Tao Yiran would definitely be able to sell it, but if one painting can earn so much money, it wouldn't be so troublesome, would it?
Chen Yifan's lion opened its mouth wide, making William's face darken instantly.

Even those famous paintings that have been dead for hundreds of years, the world-renowned ones, are not so expensive.

Prince William didn't answer Chen Yifan, and walked away directly.

Chen Yifan curled his lips, shrugged his shoulders, and didn't buy it.

I am a majestic Emperor of Fengdu, draw him a family portrait, once he shows this painting, wouldn't he be awesome?
Worth more than one billion?
It is impossible to reduce the price, this is the principle.

As soon as the content of the conversation between Prince William and Chen Yifan spread, he seemed to be isolated by the participants of the banquet, and no one came to talk to him.

However, they talked about Chen Yifan with great interest.

"To become a talent at a young age, you don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!"

"The royal family of country y is famous all over the world. It is his honor to ask him to paint, especially for him who is so talented and unknown now. This painting may reach the peak of fame in an instant and become a world-famous painter. .”

"If I'm invited, even if I don't get paid, I still have to paint!"

Some painters who also attended the banquet were whispering.

Other business tycoons shook their heads. Paintings are not a necessity. With Chen Yifan's arrogant attitude, they also lost interest in Chen Yifan's paintings.

Since he was able to offer a sky-high price of one billion to Prince William, the prices of the two paintings in the exhibition would certainly not be too low.

Spending hundreds of millions to buy a painting by such an unknown painter, no matter how good his painting is, what is the use?
Paintings by famous artists are good and expensive, but half of the price is due to the added value.

With Chen Yifan's strength, he naturally listened to all these arguments.

However, he just smiled and remained unmoved.

Anyway, he is not a painter.

Just when Prince William approached Chen Yifan for a chat, several painters approached the old headmaster and chatted with him.

Originally, I was just amazed that Chen Yifan was really just a middle school student. I wanted to learn more about him from the old principal to satisfy my curiosity. By the way, I would like to say a few words of admiration. It is really amazing that the old principal can cultivate such students. educators.

But after hearing the conversation between William and Chen Yifan, he couldn't help being a little mocking.

"Old principal, Chen Yifan's painting skills are so superb, but there is little news about him participating in various art exhibitions. Now he is like a dragon ascending to heaven, and he is a blockbuster. It is really amazing."

"But...you are young after all, I think this knowledge is a bit lacking!"

"The old headmaster should take him out for more walks, participate in some art exhibitions, see the world, and endure more criticism from those harsh critics, it will be good for him!"

"That's right! Chen Yifan is young, so it's inevitable that he is a bit arrogant. As the principal, you should not only cultivate his skills, but also..."

The painters who had been chatting around him suddenly changed their tone, which made the old headmaster stunned for a moment.

Then he put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "I think he is enough to be proud of his talent, so I don't need you to care too much."

Perhaps it was wrong for Chen Yifan to be proud of his talents, but in front of these irrelevant people, the old principal chose to favor his students.

It is said that colleagues are enemies, and now, Chen Yifan is a "master" equivalent to them.

If the old headmaster readily agreed with them, it would be as if Chen Yifan suddenly became a generation shorter and accepted the teachings of his seniors here!
Chen Yifan heard those people chatting with the old principal, and walked over with a glass of wine.

"Principal, I'm here to see the world. These are..." Chen Yifan walked over, glanced at the surrounding painters from various countries, and said with a smile.

That calm attitude surprised the painters who were still talking about Chen Yifan just now.
