Debuting After Eight Years of Time Travel: 311. A musician who cannot learn literature and calligraphy is not a successful entrepreneur!

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter that took eight years to debut!

Those who can be invited to the banquet here have been screened by Curtis College.

Basically, they are all well-known and successful artists, or North American tycoons who have friendly relations with these artists, or have donation relationships with several top music academies.

The circle of the upper class of society is actually very small.

So, most of the people there basically knew each other.

Everyone knows Sean and Red, and knows that these two are wealthy people who like art, music, art, and artwork. They are well-known art collectors in the circle.

The artworks that can be collected by them are basically top-notch. Although they do not have national treasure-level collections, they do have collections that are slightly inferior to national treasure-level items and are of very high value.

Now

Sean asked Wang Qian for calligraphy works in public.

This is almost a sideways explanation that Wang Qian's calligraphy works have extremely high collection value.

This is the case in the art collection market. As long as any collector likes something and pays money for it, then this thing has value. Even if it is a piece of shit, if someone pays a million for it, then it is worth a million.

The same is true for Wang Qian's calligraphy works, although others around them do not think Wang Qian's calligraphy works have artistic value or actual monetary value.

But there is an offer to buy it!

So, there is value in this.

Whether they admit it or not, or what they think, it cannot change this fact.

Every pair of eyes looked at Wang Qian, Sean, and Reid!

Ruke, who was not far away, whispered to Liu Shengnan: "Isn't the person who wants to offer five million dollars to buy your Xia Ke Xing a business named Red?"

Liu Shengnan nodded and stared at Wang Qian: "Well, that's him. Now he has brought another person to ask Professor Wang for the words in person. It seems that they really want Professor Wang's works."

Chen Xiaowen asked curiously: "Can foreigners really understand Professor Wang's handwriting?"

Ruke smiled and said: "They may not understand the beauty of Professor Wang's calligraphy, but they understand the value of Professor Wang's calligraphy very well. That Reid said that he owns an auction house and is a collector himself. He is very interested in this kind of calligraphy. The value of works of art has a high market value. I think that in a few hundred years, Professor Wang’s calligraphy works may become highly valuable antique works of art!”

“Think about it, in our current era, who can compare with Professor Wang in literature and calligraphy? Almost none! Professor Wang’s literary achievements will definitely be higher in the future, and his works will certainly have high reputations. Artistic value. Maybe, hundreds or thousands of years later, Professor Wang's works will be national treasures, just like the few national treasure calligraphy works we know now, when the original author was alive thousands of years ago. There is no one person like Professor Wang who stands out."

Ruke's words made several people around him think.

And they all know the situation very well!

So, they were not too surprised by Ruke's words.

After all, no one here is a fool.

They have all seen how profitable Wang Qian's calligraphy works are in China.

Liu Shengnan, Yu Jingruo, Xiao Dongmei, Ruke and others who have Wang Qian's works in their hands have all made up their minds that they will not let the works in their hands get lost. They must collect them well and pass them on to their descendants. , maybe this is an heirloom-level treasure.

Of course, what they value is not the value of Wang Qian’s works, but the certain meaning represented by the fact that the works are Wang Qian’s.

Not far away!

Seeing that Wang Qian did not answer immediately, Sean said immediately: "Mr. Wang Qian, I know you are an artist, and I also like art works very much. But at the same time, I am also a businessman. I am willing to pay a high price to buy Mr. Wang Qian from you. As far as I know, your calligraphy works are extremely valuable in China. Each work is worth more than one million U.S. dollars, and the value may be as high as three to four million U.S. dollars."

"As for your first calligraphy work in North America, I am willing to offer five million dollars to buy it. How about it? No matter what you write, I will buy it!"

Sean didn't deliberately keep a low profile. His voice was neither high nor low, neither urgent nor slow, but it could still be heard clearly by most of the people around him.

After speaking, Sean looked calm, but still looked at Wang Qian with a trace of expectation in his eyes.

All the North American music artists and art lovers around who heard this price, as well as many Chinese VIPs such as He Chaohui, Yang Jiansen, Peng Donghu, Huang Jun, etc., looked at Sean with wide eyes. , all looked a bit disbelieving and incredible!

When Malone, Cummings, Kalman, Dawson, Denzel and many other music artists heard the figure of five million dollars, their minds went blank!

For a price of five million US dollars, even among many famous antique collections, you can buy an excellent and unique collection.

Now, Sean is using this price to buy a Chinese calligraphy work from a young man from China?

Ma Long, Kalman, Dawson, Hoffman and others were a little unable to accept it for a while.

They are all music artists, and naturally they are also in the art circle. They know almost all the top artists in the world, including painters, sculptors, etc. They are all very familiar with them.

So far, they have never seen any living artist whose works can be sold for such a price!

When the representative work of the 80-year-old painter was sold for a high price of three million US dollars, the entire European and American art circles were shocked.

Top artists such as Malone and Murphy also attended the old painter's banquet to celebrate the high price of his works, which broke the record for the highest selling price of any work by any painter while he was still alive.

They all expressed their understanding and approval for the old painter's work that sold for three million US dollars.

After all, he has been a well-known painter for more than sixty years and is now the most senior person in the field of European and American painting art. When he was young, a painting could sell for tens of thousands of dollars. When he got old and was about to die, the value of his masterpieces soared. It was normal to sell for three million dollars. When he really passed away, the value of that three million dollar work would be The value will at least double, or even several times.

But

You, a thirty-year-old Chinese music artist, have your calligraphy works sold for five million dollars now?

Why?

Now it’s selling for a high price of five million US dollars!

What about when Wang Qian is 80 years old?

How much can it sell for?

Selling it for $50 million?

What if Wang Qian dies?

How much to sell?

Five billion dollars?

For a while!

Many European and American artists cannot accept this.

A musician whispered to Hoffman, who knew Sean: "Does Mr. Sean like to joke?"

Hoffman smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know!"

Everyone knew in their hearts that Sean was definitely not joking.

Who would joke about something like this in this situation?

Absolute silence remained at the scene.

Everyone raised their glasses and looked towards Wang Qian.

Waiting for Wang Qian’s answer.

Let’s see if Wang Qian can really sell a piece of work to Sean for five million dollars.

Although they are all artists, artists also need food and money, and more money is needed to maintain a decent life for artists.

In fact, many people who don't know much about Wang Qian's achievements in Chinese literature find it funny, like a joke, just to think about Wang Qian writing calligraphy works as a music artist.

Wang Qian raised his glass and took a sip, looked at Sean and said, "Mr. Sean, can you understand my Chinese calligraphy works?"

Sean smiled and said: "Of course, Red and I are good friends. We both like Chinese culture. We have many collections from China in our collection room! I like your Xia Ke Xing work the best, Listen to me recite it to you!"

Sean paused, not waiting for Wang Qian to speak, and then under the gaze of Wang Qian, Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, He Chaohui, Jiang Yu, and everyone else, he took a deep breath, and then said something that was only a little weird and could still be heard. The clear and clear Chinese recitation started the knight's journey.

"Zhao Keman and Hu Ying, Wu Gou Shuangxue Ming."

"The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star."

"Kill one person in ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles."

"When it's over, take off your clothes and hide your merit and fame"

All the people in the surrounding banquet hall were stunned.

Ma Long, Hoffman, Kalman, Dawson and others all looked at Sean in disbelief again.

None of them could have imagined that Sean could recite a Chinese poem on the spot, and he seemed to be able to recite it well!

Chinese Chinese is recognized by many people in Europe and America as the most difficult language to learn.

With Sean's Chinese proficiency, he is obviously not a beginner, he may have been studying for many years.

Even Liu Shengnan, Ruke, Xiao Dongmei, Chen Xiaowen and others felt very surprised and weird when they saw this scene!

They came all the way to the banquet hall of the top music and art school in North America to listen to a New York rich man reciting the latest contemporary Chinese poetry in Chinese

It feels weird no matter how you think about it.

However, several pairs of eyes looked at Liu Shengnan with envy!

The Xia Ke Xing calligraphy work written by Wang Qian himself is in the hands of Liu Shengnan!

This work has fans in North America. It is conceivable that the popularity and value of this work are definitely beyond their imagination.

As time goes by, the value and popularity of this work will definitely continue to increase!

If you could collect a work like this, it would be a pleasure just to look at it every day

Especially Li Qingyao, who has always wanted to collect Wang Qian's works, looked at Liu Shengnan with envy in his eyes that almost overflowed.

If possible, Li Qingyao is willing to give 90% of her property to Liu Shengnan to buy this work, and the remaining 10% will be enough for her to live on.

But

She knew what kind of person Liu Shengnan was, and it was absolutely impossible for her to sell Wang Qian's works for money.

Moreover, Liu Shengnan is not short of money. Li Qingyao may not be as rich as Liu Shengnan.

Nakamori Miyuki and Qianba Zhenju, who had been acting transparently in the corner, both clasped their hands excitedly at this moment, and their eyes were fixed on Sean who was reciting the knight's line there.

This piece is also one of their favorites among Wang Qian’s works.

It is also the most influential work among the poetry works published by Wang Qian so far. It is no wonder that both Reid and Sean want to get this work.

If possible, they would also like to own a pair of Wang Qian's calligraphy works.

However, they know this is almost impossible.

Nakamori Miyuki whispered to Qian Yuzhenzhu: "There are few poems that can compare with this poem in the two thousand years of Chinese poetry culture. Wang Qianjun's talent is amazing."

Qianyu Zhenzhu nodded: "Yes, many people in our country who like Chinese culture are fans of Wang Qianjun. I heard that a senior uncle from the Toyota Consortium offered five million Chinese coins to buy this Xia Ke Xing Works, but the agent he found could not contact the owner.”

Chiba Maju calls people from the Toyota Consortium uncle, which shows that her status in the island country is also extraordinary.

The two looked at Liu Shengnan at the same time.

They all know that this piece of chivalry is in the hands of Liu Shengnan.

They also knew that Liu Shengnan was not short of money, and five million Chinese coins were far from enough to purchase this work.

After all, there are people here who have made five million dollars.

Sophie and Taylor looked at each other, and they could see a hint of surprise in each other's eyes, and then they looked at Wang Qian even more passionately, as if Wang Qian had endless treasures in him.

Sean quickly finished reciting the poem "Xia Ke Xing".

The scene was also quiet, everyone heard his voice and heard this Chinese poem in its entirety.

However, except for many people from China, almost none of the other European and American music artists and guests could understand it.

After Wang Qian listened, he looked at Sean with admiration, clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Sean speaks Chinese very well."

Sean smiled proudly and said directly in Chinese: "Of course, I have to travel to China every year and stay for at least a week. If I have enough time, I will stay for about a month. My Chinese is already good It’s great to be able to communicate with everyone in China. So, can Professor Wang satisfy the wish of a Chinese culture lover?”

Shawn looked at Wang Qian expectantly: "If Mr. Wang Qian is not satisfied with the price of five million US dollars, you can make your request and I will consider it."

Red was a little envious when he heard Sean speaking proficient Chinese. He also found a Chinese teacher to teach him, but his language talent was limited. After several years of learning, he was still unable to communicate proficiently. He could only speak some simple daily expressions, and it was even more impossible to recite a Chinese poem.

Wang Qian listened, shook his head slightly, and said in Chinese: "Thank you, Mr. Sean, for liking my work, but I'm sorry. I can't agree to your request."

Sean looked at Wang Qian with slight disappointment and asked, "Why? I am very sincere and I also like your works very much."

Wang Qian said apologetically: "Because you really like me, I will have a few words with you, otherwise I would usually ignore such requests. Calligraphy and literature are one of my hobbies. I won’t sell my works for money, no matter how much you pay.”

Sean sighed, drank the wine glass in his hand, smiled, and said, "Is this the artist's insistence?"

Wang Qian shook his head: "I don't know what the artist's insistence is, but I personally will not sell my works in exchange for money. I have other ways to make money. And I will earn more."

Sean and Reid nodded at the same time. They had carefully studied Wang Qian's information in China and knew that Wang Qian was not a braggart.

Wang Qian’s net worth is not much less than the two of them, and his subsequent development potential may be higher than the two of them, and may exceed their combined wealth in the future.

Shaun immediately changed the subject and said: "I want to be friends with you. Do you have an Internet company? How about I buy you a share? For $100 million, I only need 2% of the shares. This valuation It should be the tallest now, right? I just want to make friends with you."

One hundred million U.S. dollars, 2% of the shares, that is an overall valuation of five billion U.S. dollars, which can be converted into more than 30 billion Chinese coins!

This is indeed far beyond the previous valuation given to Qianqian Jingting by many capital investors.

Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, Jiang Yu, and Murong Yue were all a little shocked. Because they watched Wang Qian create Qianqianjingting step by step, and it only took half a year to single-handedly bring this new music platform to a valuation of more than 30 billion Huaxia coins?

Such a speed of wealth appreciation is not unique in the Internet field, but it is definitely rare!

Because what Sean said was in English.

So, Reid also heard it and immediately said: "I will also invest 50 million US dollars for only 1% of the shares. I also want to make friends with you, Mr. Wang Qian!"

When the two talked about investment, their voices were much lower, so not many people around heard it. Only Malone, Taylor, Sophie, Dawson, and Kalman who were very close heard it.

Ma Long asked Sophie in surprise: "Did he also create a company in China? Is it so valuable?"

Sophie replied softly: "He invested in creating a music platform six months ago in order to release his own songs. This is the company that Sean and Mr. Reid invested in! I didn't expect that this company would be so valuable. . He only created it for half a year."

Ma Long, Kalman, Dawson and others were speechless, looking at Wang Qian intently.

Wang Qian’s simple image of a super music artist in the world and a super musical genius suddenly became blurry

Literature writer!

Successful entrepreneur!

Super rich!

Wait for the identities to overlap with Wang Qian.

Although, it is no longer so pure.

However, it has become taller.

They all had to raise their heads and look up to see Wang Qian's shadow.

Just now Wang Qian told Ronis that music and art were just a hobby, not everything.

Ma Long, Hoffman, Murphy and other top music artists in the world still found it funny when they heard it. They felt that Wang Qian deliberately told Ronis and them.

But

Now after listening to what Sean and Reid said, I learned more real information about Wang Qian.

They felt that Wang Qian was not trying to show off, but was telling the truth.

Music and art are really just a hobby of his and only a small part of his life.

At the very least.

Wang Qian’s status as a writer and entrepreneur seems to be equally successful.

Then

A big question arises in the minds of several people.

Why?

Why, why, can he do this?

They have dedicated their lives to music and art, and are absolutely focused on this field. In the end, it is not as good as a hobby?

Several of the world's top music artists feel a little disbelieving and frustrated.

Under the expectant gazes of Sean and Reid, Wang Qian still shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, you two. Although your investment is really sincere, I still can't accept it."

Red asked: "Why?"

He wanted to say, we gave you US$150 million for almost nothing, why don’t you want it?

They didn't take that bit of stock seriously. It was really meaningless. As long as they didn't lose money in the future, it was fine. They really just wanted to get in touch with Wang Qian and build a relationship. With their wealth, hundreds of millions of dollars of funds were thrown out, and if they didn't lose money, they would actually lose money.

Wang Qian explained softly: "I am not discriminating against you, I will not accept investment from anyone. In that case, my company will not be so pure."

Pure

Sean said speechlessly: "Is this the artist's insistence again?"

Red's face was also twitching, and he was obviously speechless about this reason.

Although they are true art lovers, sometimes they are very speechless about the stubborn persistence of those artists.

Of course, they also understand that the reason why those great artists became great artists is because they have a different kind of stubbornness.

Otherwise, without this stubbornness, I probably wouldn’t have become a top artist.

However, Wang Qian is still so young, does he have the stubbornness of those old artists?

Qin Xuerong and Qin Xuehong both smiled slightly.

Wang Qian also smiled and said to Sean and Reid: "If you think this is the artist's insistence, that's fine. Anyway, I don't like to accept other people's capital into my company. Can this company make money? , I don’t care how much it’s worth. I just want a relatively pure platform that I can control, so that I can publish my works freely, and it can also allow other real musicians to publish their works freely. ”

"So, I rejected all capital investment. This is not directed at you, I hope you can understand."

Shaun and Red figured it out.

In their view, this is the artist’s stubbornness.

They have met more than once.

But.

This shows that when they come to see Wang Qian this time, they may still come back empty-handed.

Sean said regretfully: "That's such a shame."

Wang Qian also said regretfully: "Yes, this is indeed a pity."

Anyway, he won't agree.

Sean looked at the wine glass he had finished, waved to the waiter holding a plate not far away, then picked up a glass of wine and said to Wang Qian again: "It's a pleasure to meet Professor Wang today. Have a drink."

Reid also said: "I also got Professor Wang's autograph, and I'll have a drink too!"

Wang Qian did not refuse the kindness of the two. He took a sip from the wine glass and said, "Thank you. I'm very happy to meet you."

Shawn stopped pestering Wang Qian and said, "In two months, I will travel to China again. I hope I will have the opportunity to have a meal with Professor Wang then."

Red also said: "I will go with you this time."

The two actually made an appointment to go to China to purchase Wang Qian’s calligraphy works that were living among the people.

Wang Qian still maintained a smile and said: "China welcomes you!"

He did not agree to have dinner with them. When he returns to China, he will be so busy that he will not have time to treat them to dinner.

Shawn was a little disappointed, knowing that Wang Qian was still a bit repulsive towards them. Sure enough, it was the artist's personality that was causing trouble again!

If ordinary entrepreneurs and managers had such an opportunity to establish a good relationship with North American tycoons like them, they would definitely join in immediately.

However, Wang Qian didn't want to pay attention to them!

Helpless!

But there is also a hint of admiration.

This may be a pure artist.

Sean: "Thank you, Professor Wang. I'll take my leave now. I hope we can have a chance to chat more next time we meet."

Reid: "Goodbye, Professor Wang!"

Wang Qian: "Goodbye!"

The two of them turned around and left. They raised their wine glasses in greeting to some of the artists they knew. As if they had met them, they had a drink with several top artists such as Malone, Kalman, and Hoffman, and then left directly. Banquet scene.

They came here just to see Wang Qian.

After meeting and talking, we left.

I came in a hurry and left easily.

However, their coming here also made many European and American artists and wealthy people around them more clearly and comprehensively realize Wang Qian's talent and strength.

This is an incredible young man!

Wang Qian's image became tall and colorful in their hearts.

For a while!

More people came to talk to Wang Qian.

Almost hundreds of people at the scene found opportunities and reasons to come over to chat with Wang Qian and have a drink.

"Professor Wang Qian, I didn't expect you to have such high achievements in Chinese calligraphy and literature. You must see it if you have the opportunity."

"Thank you, thank you"

"Professor Wang, I didn't expect that Qianqianjingting was the company founded by you. You are young and promising."

"Thank you, thank you"

"Professor Wang, it's nice to meet you today. I will study Chinese when I go back and study your literary works."

"Thank you, thank you"

"Professor Wang, I heard that your previous dream was to be an ordinary person, so you have always been ordinary and anonymous. Why has it suddenly exploded in the past six months?"

"Thank you, thank you, maybe it was a spur of the moment!"

"Professor Wang"

Hundreds of people came over to talk and drink with Wang Qian.

Wang Qian didn't know how many times he said thank you, even if he took a sip, he drank up many cups.

Qin Xuerong and Qin Xuehong felt heartbroken when they looked at Wang Qian, and they wished they could step forward to take the trouble for Wang Qian!

However, everyone around can also see the change in everyone's attitude towards Wang Qian!

Everyone addressed Wang Qian as Professor Wang, and they showed a lot of respect for him.

This is a change brought about by strength and financial resources.

When a person has strength and talent, the music artists around him may just recognize you.

But when a person is talented, powerful, and very rich!

Then, these artists will respect you very much and even try to please you a little bit.

Wang Qian was tired of socializing.

Seeing that the banquet time was over, there were still hundreds of people waiting eagerly to chat with Wang Qian.

Wang Qian surrendered helplessly, raised his glass and said: "Gentlemen and ladies, I am very grateful to everyone for your welcome and enthusiasm to me today, but it is getting late and everyone needs to go back to rest. Let us One last drink"

"For Music"

As the protagonist of this banquet.

Wang Qian’s proposal was supported by the vast majority of people.

Because it was indeed very late, and many of the older music artists at the scene wanted to go back and rest.

So, everyone raised their glasses in response to Wang Qian’s call.

"For Music"

Everyone said it together.

They all raised their glasses and drank together.

Diana and other members of the program team also breathed a sigh of relief. They watched the camera the whole time. Watching this boring dinner made them want to end it early, and the ratings also dropped a lot.

However, due to the requirements of Curtis College, they placed the camera farther away and failed to shoot in the middle, so I don’t know what Wang Qian and Sean Reid talked about, but Wang Qian was captured Very popular here.

Now it’s finally over!

Diana once again took on the task of the program team to conduct one last interview with Wang Qian, and then this temporary follow-up report on Wang Qian's program, even if it is officially over, the follow-up program team will fully focus on The Voice International The first official match of the game was promoted.

The protagonist of the propaganda will no longer be Wang Qian.

However, when Diana thought about the bet that she and Wang Qian had made in front of the camera and witnessed by all the live broadcast viewers, she felt restless in her heart. She didn't want to face it, but she also had some inexplicable expectations.

Thinking of having to face Wang Qian again later.

Diana quickly packed up her clothes and makeup, then walked towards Wang Qian with a microphone and camera.

And Wang Qian is saying goodbye to several acquaintances at the moment!

Ronis, Curtis’ dean, did not appear again.

Kalman, Dawson, and Hoffman said goodbye to Wang Qian on behalf of Curtis College!

Ma Long, Denzel, Murphy and other music artists also said goodbye to Wang Qian again

Wang Qian could only socialize for a while, and it took more than half an hour before it was over!

So tired
