At this time, the surprise of different cultural concepts was reflected. Originally, Jin Muchen felt uncomfortable about this, but Helen on the other side seemed to be indifferent to such a thing.
"Why, this is not a bad thing?"
Jin Muchen couldn't help but ask in discomfort.
"I know you may think that those businesses, after they all die, are morally unscrupulous? But have you ever thought about it? Doing this can at least make many people remember those who died? And for some fans, they also need such hype to make them miss their idols in the end! And through such hype, merchants can make money and make people remember those who have passed away. Isn't this a win-win situation? Isn't this a win-win situation? "
Helen's theory made Jin Muchen feel heartbroken. Although it was a bit unacceptable to emotionally, he calmed down and thought about it. It seemed that what people said was indeed so reasonable.
"Okay, what you said seems to make some sense."
"Also, I would like to remind you, keep the paintings you bought last time, and those of your paintings are all large in size, and they are the most popular in the oil painting market. So your paintings have great appreciation potential, even greater than mine. If someone asks you to discuss the acquisition, the price you offer is ten times lower than the original price, you don't think about it at all."
Helen's reminder was very warm when he arrived. Jin Muchen felt a little warmer in his heart.
"Thank you for your reminder, I understand!"
"By the way, I'll call you, and one more thing is about that house. Haha. Thank you for helping me win the bet with Casey, do you know? I just called Casey, and the woman was so angry that she was just angry. The first right of her yacht was mine..."
Helen's tone was very excited and she chattered a lot on the other end of the phone, but Jin Muchen didn't listen to a single word.
"Well. Very good, then let me tell me about that house next?"
"Oh! God, you're such a disappointment. You're a topic killer. Do you know? Mu Chen, I really don't know. How did you chase Candice."
Helen was helpless when she was interrupted by Jin Muchen like this.
"I will call Mr. Patton later. Believe me, there will be news about that house soon, just prepare the money. Also, I would like to remind you that although our family has a good relationship with Mr. Patton, business is business. He cannot give you special discounts in housing prices because of his relationship with our family."
"Well, I know! Is there anything else?"
Jin Muchen's tone was quite cold.
"there is none left!"
Helen hung up the phone with a little emotion there.
"Mu Chen. Someone is looking for it!"
Just after breakfast, Fang Bo's shouting came from downstairs. Jin Muchen quickly put the dishes into the sink, and then roughly sorted them out and went downstairs.
Fang Bo saw him coming down and squeezed his eyes at him, his expression a little ambiguous. Jin Muchen's head was full of confusion.
But when he saw the visitor, he finally knew why Fang Bo used such an expression to him.
"Hello. I'm Jesse, Barnes. I'm glad to see you. Mr. King."
"Hello, I'm Jin Muchen, and I'm very happy to see you. By the way, were you sent by Christie's?"
Jin Muchen and the beauty opposite reached out and held her hand Yingying, and then asked.
The opposite is definitely a dazzling beauty. She is over 1.7 meters tall and wearing a straight work suit, she looks particularly slender and capable in a stunning figure.
A head of bright and shiny blonde hair that was almost silver and white, and the broken snow-white skin on her face, these alone can already make many men's heartbeat.
This is a beauty with a Nordic style. Inside her deep eyes are a pair of green eyes, and a high nose bridge, which makes the outline of her face look very three-dimensional.
The perfect little mouth, coupled with the dimples on the corners of her mouth when she smiles, makes the lines on her face not as stiff as most Nordic women, and look very soft.
So far, Jin Muchen has known many Western beauties, Candice and Helen, who are all typical of them, but the beauty in front of her is not inferior to Candice and Helen in terms of style.
Even compared to the two of them, they are a little tough, capable and mature.
"Why do you ask that?"
Jesse Barnes, opposite, was stunned when he heard Jin Muchen's question, and then asked him with a smile.
"Aren't you sent by Christie's?"
Jin Muchen took the lead and felt very embarrassed. The Andre from Christie's said that he would go back to contact the expert and show him the mahogany table. It was almost a month later.
Sotheby's people came to take away the black painted gold-painted box, but Christie's people had not yet appeared. No wonder they could only be ranked second in the auction house.
Just now, Bo Fang called himself downstairs, saying that when someone was looking for him, Jin Muchen thought that Christie's had finally gotten his head and sent someone over?
I never thought that he had nothing to do with Christie's!
"No, I'm not from Christie's, I'm a free agent... It's like that. Actually, the owner of the cityba you often visit, Rick Barnes is my father..."
"Oh! It turns out it's Rick's daughter!"
Jin Muchen couldn't help but realize it when he heard this, but then he became strange. What did Rick's daughter ask him for?
However, looking at the woman's appearance, it is really hard to imagine that Rick can have such a beautiful daughter. Just looking at her eyebrows, these two fathers and daughters are not alike at all.
"I'm asking me for it..."
"Oh? That's it..."
"Well, sorry, look at me... Let's talk upstairs..."
When Jin Muchen saw that there was no place to sit downstairs, the doorbell suddenly rang. It turned out that a guest came to the door. Fang Bo went up to greet the guests. It seemed a bit inconvenient for him to stand here and talk to Jesse, so he took Jesse and turned upstairs.
Let Jesse sit down on the sofa, he goes to make a cup of coffee for Jesse, and then sits opposite Jesse.
"Tell me, what can I do to help you?"
"Well, that's right. I heard you sold about five paintings by Anthony Wise at the Charity Sale of Fairy Tales Gallery a few days ago, right?"
Jin Muchen suddenly became energetic. He didn't expect that Anthony had just died there, and someone came to the door here?
"Yes, I took five pictures."
"That's great. I wonder if Mr. Jin, do you intend to sell it? I'll tell you the truth? I have a customer who happens to be very interested in Anthony's paintings. If you are willing to sell, the price is easy to negotiate."
Jesse's speaking style is the same as her dress, simple, capable and direct!
As soon as he came to the topic, Jin Muchen also liked this business negotiation method, which could help everyone save time.
"I haven't really considered these things too much. I guess you have heard that Mr. Anthony suddenly passed away in the early morning of this morning."
"Yes, I heard it. I feel very sorry. My client happened to be a fan of the realistic painter. He had been paying attention to Mr. Anthony Wise. He did not expect that he would die suddenly in this way. This was very sudden. My client also felt very regretful. So this time he wanted to acquire several paintings of Mr. Anthony to show respect for the painter."
Although this is very nice, Jin Muchen didn't take it seriously at all.
Who doesn’t know what’s going on? It’s not that the work has the potential to appreciate, so it’s coming up, do you want to get a bargain?
"Well, I don't have any special hobbies about Mr. Anthony's paintings. If your client is willing to buy them, as long as he can give me a price that will attract me, there is nothing that cannot be discussed."
"That's good..."
Jesse smiled on her face, and this time her smile was not polite, but from the heart.
"We have also done some knowledge before. Mr. Jin, the paintings you bought that day were basically large-sized large oil paintings of 4 feet by 2 feet. The average purchase price is about 62,000 US dollars, and the five oil paintings cost a total of about 310,000 yuan. I'm right?"
It seems that Jesse did his homework very carefully before coming, and Jin Muchen nodded.
"Yes, probably that's it!"
"Okay, since Mr. Jin, you are willing to take action, my customers are willing to acquire these paintings at a price twice the original price. Are you satisfied with this condition?"
Jesse's initial offer was just a test, but Jin Muchen must be dissatisfied with such a price. Although the other party is a beauty, Jin Muchen does not have the habit of giving the other party discounts just because the opponent is a beauty.
Just as Helen said on the phone before, business is business!
"Come on! Miss Jesse, let's not go around in circles. I'm not interested in who your client is, but why do you want to come to me to buy these paintings? I think we all know. Anthony passed away very suddenly, and the fairy tale gallery is definitely not willing to let their early investment go astray. So this year, Anthony's paintings will participate in the American Tour Art Exhibition, and it is also affirmed to be collected by the National Gallery. Maybe in two years, a president will also award him the President's Medal of Freedom. I think many presidents will be willing to do this. So do you think the price you just opened is appropriate? An official recognized painter, and because of his sudden death, the number of paintings in existence is rare. In this way, I think the market will react to his works? Miss Jesse, you are also a professional, you should be as clear as me, right?"
Jesse's next move made Jin Muchen stunned. She actually stretched out her delicate red tongue and licked her lips. (To be continued)
