crazy smart

090: Gambling Lin Li wondered, "Where are you going?"

Bi Han was surprised instead, and replied: "Of course it's a stone bet. Didn't you say you wanted to make money by betting on stones? Anyway, there's nothing to do now. It's better to hit the sun now. Let's go right away! It's been a long time since we got together. Let's gamble on stones together."

"Uh!"

Lin Li didn't expect Bi Han to be so anxious.

President Tu suddenly thought of an invitation, and immediately asked with a smile: "A Li, I remember that your appreciation ability is very outstanding, even Gong Xian's "The Picture of Strange Rocks" can be identified."

Lin Li replied modestly: "That time was just a coincidence. In fact, Brother Bi Han's appreciation ability is not inferior to mine."

Bi Han poked Lin Li's waist and eyes, and seemed a little moved by his words.

Mr. Tu didn't bother to say anything, so he said simply: "Let's not gamble on stones, let's gamble on paintings. Anyway, with you two treasure appraisers here, no matter how bad it is, we won't bet."

"Gambling painting?"

Both Lin Li and Bi Han were surprised.

Mr. Tu replied grumpily: "Even if stones can be gambled, why can't paintings be gambled? There are so many unknown or even down-and-out painters in this world, maybe some of them will become world-famous artists in the future Where is the master?"

Bi Han sighed: "Yes, there are many such examples in history."

Lin Li murmured: "I remember that Modigliani is a typical representative."

Modigliani, an outstanding Italian painting master and a world-renowned artistic genius.When he was born, he was unknown, and even reduced to the point where he needed help from his friends to survive.But after his death, the whole world was shocked by his artistic talent and lamented that he was a tragic genius comparable to Van Gogh.

Mr. Tu said proudly: "Since you have such an understanding, what are you waiting for, let's go!"

"and many more!"

Lin Li thought for a while and said, "Give me a little time to prepare."

Now Lin Li is more mature than before.

Before betting on stones, Lin Li just dealt with it a little bit.But it’s different now, hangover pills that can reduce drunkenness, hangover tea that can soothe the mind, and Brand’s Chicken Essence that can restore MP without negative effects, all of which can greatly improve Lin Li’s work efficiency and prolong the life of Lin Li. The treasure of working time, Lin Li had prepared it at home for a long time, in case of emergencies, and now it can finally come in handy.

Seeing that Lin Li brought so many energy drinks and health supplements, Bi Han was a little puzzled, but he didn't try to stop him.Anyway, many of Lin Li's strange things went into the sea, so it's not bad.

Seeing the excitement in the living room, Lin Li didn't bother him. He asked for trouble, and quietly left the Lin family's house with Bi Han and Mr. Tu, heading towards the weird gallery.

Mr. Tu's skills are good, and he quickly came to that unique gallery.

Because Mr. Tu has an invitation card, they don't need to pay the visit fee.It's just that Mr. Tu is very disdainful of these things, and feels that since they want to hype, they shouldn't limit their popularity with high tour fees.Although doing so can recover part of the investment, it is betting on the reputation of the gallery. As long as this exhibition is not successful, there will be no chances in the future.

The layout here is a standard corridor form, but probably because of the relatively dense population of Yangcheng, the corridor here is planned to be a bit spacious, enough for nearly ten people to walk side by side.However, the interior design is not bad, with a bright and bold atmosphere in the strong western style, which is very suitable for the theme of this exhibition.

Bi Han looked at it and said: "I heard the rumors of underwriting paintings when I was in school, and now it seems to be true."

"How to say?"

Lin Li expressed his incomprehension.

Bi Han sorted it out and said: "In our traditional concept, painters who have just debuted are doomed to endure poverty and loneliness. But in today's economic society, even art has a ride on the upsurge of the art market. It’s really impressive. Many investors can’t afford to gamble on celebrity masterpieces that cost millions or even tens of millions, so they shift their targets to those painters who have not yet become famous but have potential. Because these painters have potential but live in poverty, the prices of their paintings are naturally not much higher, and even if they are bought and sold on a large scale, the total price is no more than a fraction of the masterpieces of famous artists.”

Hearing this, Lin Li vaguely grasped the thread of his thoughts.

Then Bi Han said in more detail: "Don't tell me, this alternative investment model has really gained a lot of benefits. Because of this, this special investment model has gradually flourished in the circle, and has evolved until now. , Even the works of students in school can be packaged and sold.”

Mr. Tu nodded straightly, and said: "I heard that there is a painter's village in the capital city, where there are a large number of unknown painters, and they are most famous not for painting famous paintings, but for relying on assembly line work, at a low price Packaged and sold, earning a considerable income comparable to that of a celebrity."

"Yeah yeah!"

Bi Han nodded repeatedly, and said: "This kind of form is not only in the imperial capital, but also in Pengcheng. Many students in our school are very interested in this industry and want to try the water."

"Assembly work!"

Lin Li murmured without making any comments.

He didn't look down on these assembly lines, because he felt that everyone's artistic hobbies are different, and pickles and radishes have their own preferences.The most important thing is that ordinary families can't afford to collect those famous masterpieces that cost tens of thousands of dollars, but this does not mean that they don't know how to appreciate them. They also have the right to appreciate art and pursue beauty. Flowing works with a certain artistic charm are most in line with their market.

With a vast folk market, Lin Li believes that this special art circle will become more and more prosperous.

"Ugh! We're here to gamble!"

Mr. Tu thought that the topic was too far away, so he quickly dialed back.

Bi Han and Lin Li laughed awkwardly.

Mr. Tu ignored Bi Han and Lin Li, and said directly: "I don't know if the paintings here are made of flowing water, which requires your appreciation. But I have really heard that someone bought a painting for a few hundred yuan. A million-dollar masterpiece, so I wish you the best of luck."

"have a look!"

Lin Li turned his gaze away.

He saw a landscape painting without any marks, and commented very bluntly: "The style of this person is the style of Beizong, and the object of imitation is Fan Kuan, who has 'the number one painting in Song Dynasty'. It's a pity that this painting Although he painted mountains and strange rocks, he did not highlight the magnificence of Beizong's landscape paintings, and fell behind."

Beizong is the northern school of landscape style.

Bi Han said with a wry smile: "A Li, you are too harsh, you know Fan Kuan is the No. I think this painting is very good, at least it gives me a taste of old-fashioned penmanship and majestic atmosphere, it is a good choice for investment."

"Okay, I'll buy it!"

When Mr. Tu heard this, he immediately acted.

The paintings here are all priced at 500 yuan, no bargaining.

As far as Mr. Tu is concerned, investing 500 yuan in a potential landscape painting is a deal that cannot be missed.Even if it was Bi Han who punched the eye, Mr. Tu would not feel bad, since it was only 500 yuan anyway.

Lin Li understood Mr. Tu's feelings, thought for a while and expressed his affirmation.

He has seen a document: In the early 80s, Luo Zhongli, a famous contemporary painter and executive director of the China Artists Association, was only a student at the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts. At that time, his oil painting "Father" had already won the second national The first prize of the Youth Art Exhibition, the "Father" that zooms in on the old farmer has become a milestone in Chinese contemporary portrait oil painting, and the price of "Father" was only 400 yuan when it was collected by the National Art Museum of China.

A landmark work is worth at least one million yuan, but it was only worth 400 yuan at that time. Such an increase is definitely the dream of all investors.

Such crazy profits naturally stimulate some people with strong investment desires.

After that, whether it was influenced by Bi Han and Mr. Tu, or Lin Li's aesthetic angle was skewed, he also started to buy some paintings with high artistic value.One of them was identified by Lin Li as a perfect work of a senior painter, and the system strongly requested Lin Li to collect it.

"Why don't we go to the second floor to have a look!"

After shopping around for a long time, Mr. Tu, who had won at least twenty paintings, suddenly made a new suggestion.

Lin Li asked, "Is there anything on the second floor that deserves our attention?"

Mr. Tu said with a smile: "Of course there are. The second floor is still gambling paintings, but these are more standard. All of them are mysterious paintings from special channels. The gambling is higher, but the profits are more lucrative."

"Go and see."

After walking around for so long, Lin Li finally knew that most of the paintings on the first floor were the works of students in school, or unsatisfactory painters who had just stepped out of society.Although the overall level is not bad, compared with those masterpieces of ancient celebrities he has come into contact with, there is really a big gap, and it is difficult for Lin Li to be really tempted.

Instead of wasting time here, it's better to go up and try your luck.

The three of them changed course.

The style of the second floor is quite different from that of the first floor. It is probably because the paintings here are all from special channels, so the theme here is mysterious, and the lighting is rather dim, which brings a little inconvenience to Lin Li and the others.

But Lin Li has identification skills, so it doesn't hurt.

"Look at that one!"

Bi Han saw a painting that moved his heart, and immediately walked over.

But Lin Li didn't follow, because he was attracted by a landscape painting next to him that only had the creation time but no signature.Involuntarily, Lin Li walked towards this unique landscape painting, unaware of his departure.

"This painting, this artistic conception..."

Lin Li could see his mind fluttering, and he was vaguely involved in it, but his lips couldn't help murmuring: "It's an imitation of Li Cheng's Pingyuan style. It is plausible to confuse it with Li Cheng's work after writing the creation time."

Whispering here, Lin Li's mind moved, and he lost an identification technique on the painting:
