Chapter 64 Confidants are hard to find
Selling paintings?
Guo Dan never thought selling paintings was a good business. No matter how high the price was, it would not be of much significance to a company. Because the output of this painting was so low that it could not be high. Even if selling a painting was more profitable than selling a thousand albums, Guo Dan would choose the album because selling paintings only got one customer, and selling a picture album got one thousand customers. For a new company, customers are the most important thing, not just money.
This is why Guo Dan directly asked to acquire the printing house from the beginning without considering it. It can be seen that he had no intention of selling paintings at all.
It is really amazing to watch the art exhibition for free and also give away albums.
However, surprises are not just that.
"This...is this a picture album?"
When Guan Xiaojie saw the scrolls brought by the maids, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
The others were also stunned.
This is beyond imagination!
They thought the album was a small book, but they didn't know that the other party would come up with such an exquisite album.
Liu Xunmou had come back to his senses. He had said what he should have said before, but Guo Dan said it quickly, and he quickly stood up and said, "Everyone, this is the album carefully prepared by our three musketeers for everyone. It is also the first album we launched. There are only one hundred copies in the world, but in the future we will launch the second and third periods. Everyone can buy it at that time, but this first album is quite precious."
It is very expensive to produce a set of picture albums. It only costs 100 volumes to print, which sounds a bit unprofitable. In fact, it is not the case. The Three Musketeers have just started and they need fame. Therefore, Guo Dan decided to directly get a limited edition version in the first issue. The purpose is very simple, to give them a reason to go out to show off. They will definitely take these picture albums and show off everywhere, and others can't buy them, so they can only watch them pretending to behave silently. This is invisibly advertising the Three Musketeers.
Moreover, after a few years, you can make a nostalgic version or something, and then you can get some money. This is a common trick for businessmen. In short, you will never lose money.
They took the album with ecstasy and opened it carefully. It was true that they were all paintings from the exhibition. Although they were not as beautiful as real paintings, they regarded them as treasures because the scroll was so exquisite that they were all made of top-quality materials, adding a lot of brilliance to the paintings. You can tell at a glance that it was an outstanding thing.
And this is also a brand new album, and no one has seen such albums before.
In fact, this can also be said to be a Chinese-style magazine.
"Brother Rong, you...you are so polite. I don't wait to come here for a penny, and you even gave such a precious gift. What's the point of calling your brother? Thank you, thank you."
......
They looked and took it, and everyone was extremely grateful and thanked Xu Jirong.
Guo Dan thought to himself, no thanks, no thanks, as long as you take this album to the restaurant to show off all day, then we will not lose.
Xu Jirong waved his hand and said, "Everyone has status and status, and can be in..."
Xu Chun whispered: "Take your busy schedule."
"Oh, I took the time to come here to praise our three musketeers. That's why we look down on us, just a little gift..."
"What a question."
"What a question."
Really, just like this, you have to get stuck twice, can't your head remember? Guo Dan looked at Xu Jirong's big butt and wanted to kick him.
"Oh, Brother Rong, you said this... I am ashamed for your brother, ashamed for your brother!"
Liu Xunmou said: "Today we are preparing a banquet, so everyone can sit together, drink and discuss paintings."
Guan Xiaojie said, "If there is a painted prostitute to accompany you, that would be great."
Swish swish swish swish!
Everyone looked at Guan Xiaojie again.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Guan Xiaojie's face tightened, and quickly wrapped his fat hands with his big belly, and said nervously: "Do you think it's good?"
"good!"
Everyone said in unison.
This suggestion is simply amazing.
Xu Jirong said with an unhappy look: "Everyone, I am a painting exhibition, not a brothel, what are you doing?"
As soon as these words were said, everyone was both embarrassed and disappointed.
But they didn't complain at all. After all, they had pictures, albums, and had to eat them. They still complained, but it was really a thunderbolt.
After the wine came, everyone was not sitting on the ground and talking loudly. They did not come here to drink, and the exhibition was limited, so they were holding wine, evaluating each painting in the corridor. The happiness in it was really not worthy of being told by outsiders.
Xu Jirong is the leader today, and everyone is competing to curry favor with him because everyone is not very familiar with the Three Musketeers, and they are eager to know everything about the Three Musketeers.
Guo Dan was also very relieved to have Xu Chun by Xu Jirong's side.
This time is so hard that you can't be happy, but the time of happiness is always short. Before you know it, it is approaching evening and the exhibition ends here.
But everyone was still unsatisfied with it. The more you looked at this painting, the more you looked at it, the more you felt it was very amazing. Many details are worth studying.
Therefore, they asked one after another when the second art exhibition would be held.
But the answer I got is that it has not been confirmed yet.
Everyone left with regret and reluctance. The first art exhibition in history ended in this regret, but only regrets can be unforgettable.
.....
"Zhizhi!Zhizhi!"
Xu Jirong returned to the back hall, rushed into a room excitedly, and said excitedly to Zhu Lizhi sitting in front of the painting board: "Zhizhi, it's a pity that you didn't go before. Do you know how those people praised you? They all said that you can be called a master of calligraphy and painting, with the style of a great man, and... In short, everyone praises your paintings."
He is simple-minded and not a very selfish person. If others praise his friends and relatives, he will be very happy.
"Um."
“……”
"Zhizhi, they all praise you, why do you seem unhappy?" Xu Jirong asked blankly.
"Haha!" Guo Dan, who came in, patted his shoulder and smiled, "Mr. Zhu, you have long expected everything that happened today, and your happiness has passed."
"Is that true?" Xu Jirong looked at Zhu Lizhi in confusion.
Zhu Lizhi looked at Guo Dan and said, "You should be the one who really predicted the future. And..."
At this point, he paused and said, "Don't talk nonsense in my name in the future, especially those things I have never said."
After saying that, Zhu Lizhi held the pen and continued to draw.
How did he know so quickly? Oh... I got it. This shy man in the cleanliness must have sent someone to find out the news. Damn, it's really hypocritical. Guo Dan snorted: "I will say that you are indifferent to fame and fortune in the future, and I'm still afraid of being a fool."
Although Xu Jirong repeatedly tried to keep Guo Dan to celebrate with them, Guo Dan still cruelly refused. As a friend, he helped Xu Jirong very much. As a son-in-law, of course he still had to go home to have dinner with his wife.
.....
"Husband is back."
Kou Weisha seemed to be waiting in the front yard early. Seeing that Guo Dan was back, she immediately went up to meet him and asked, "Is everything going well over the art exhibition?"
Guo Dan sighed and said, "It's really disappointing."
Kou Weisha's face tightened. They also had part in the exhibition. If they were messed up, Ya Xing would be implicated. He hurriedly said, "What happened?"
Guo Dan shook his head and sighed: "I thought they would discuss Mr. Zhu's painting skills and character more. How could they know that they only have women in the painting in their eyes. They talk about either breasts or buttocks. They are really ashamed to be with them. Madam, why did you choose such a group of people to participate in the art exhibition?"
“……”
Kou Weisha can say what is good? If you hold an exhibition like this, she can only choose such a person. Besides, she dare not choose others, saying, "I hope my husband will forgive me. I also want to choose some talented people to participate as much as possible, but I am hosting the Yass. The only thing I have to ensure is that the exhibition can be held successfully."
"Oh...you said it, you can't blame you."
Guo Dan carried his hands on his back and sighed to the sky: "It's really easy to get a thousand gold, but it's hard to find a confidant!" As he said that, he suddenly turned around, looked at Kou Weisha, and asked, "Does Madam have a confidant?"
Kou Weisha was slightly stunned, shook her head and said, "I am just a female, so how can I have any confidant?"
"Didn't there be one?"
"Um."
Kou Weisha nodded gently.
Guo Dan nodded, his expression was a little sad, and he sighed again: "It turns out that being a husband is in the heart of his wife, and even a confidant can't even be called a confidant. How sad! How sad!"
“……”
Kou Weisha didn't expect Guo Dan to mean this way. She couldn't react and hurriedly said, "Husband, I..."
"You don't need to explain, I understand, I understand."
Guo Dan waved his hand and said, "I have encountered too many sad things for my husband today and have no appetite, so I won't have dinner with my wife."
After saying that, he walked to his yard alone, with a hint of sadness on his back.
Kou Weisha looked at Guo Dan, and a trace of guilt appeared on her face.
