Hong Yanwu had no psychological burden at all for "killing" Xiao Heping for this meal.

He sat at the wine table, not only eating with gusto, but also clicking his lips from time to time.

In spite of Xiao Heping's anxiety and eagerness, he played a good show.

Sometimes he wants garlic, and now he wants vinegar, making Xiao Heping look like a waiter in a shop.

That's called running around.

To say that this is really a bit of low-level taste, not enough to make friends.

But, then again.

He didn’t eat this meal for free, the ideas he gave were reliable.

With his words, Xiao Heping could at least fall asleep that day, and his mentality became much calmer.

On the weekend two days later, when it was time to get things done, Hong Yanwu fully fulfilled his promise.

Early in the morning, not only did he come to see Xiao Heping in his suit and leather shoes, he was sitting in Bian Jiangong's car.

And he actually brought in a real foreigner - Angelo.

Seeing this formation, Xiao Heping felt more at ease, and a glimmer of hope really rose again.

What are they going to do?

Hey, actually Hong Yanwu is going to take Angelo to Master Huang's house to put on a good show.

I want to use the method of "building the plank road openly and using the warehouse secretly" to give another gift to save the situation for Xiao Heping.

This is what he told Xiao Heping at the wine table two days ago.

“The first principle when giving gifts is that they must be pleasing to the person.”

“To those who are short of money, give them valuable gifts. To those who are well-off, give them interesting things. People who are rich but have no status must have an extraordinary desire for honor and fame. ."

"According to this logic, it is not wrong for you to give money to Master Huang. Because the current situation of our country is that artists' fame and fortune are upside down, with high reputation and low income."

"And as you said, their house is nice, and a junior at the Academy of Fine Arts lives there. But it doesn't even have a refrigerator. From this, you know that life is hard, and there is no way that he really treats money as dirt. ”

"But the problem is that you are not related to the person, and the purpose of giving the gift is to use the back door. For some people who have no sense of morality, this may be an acceptable thing. But for people who take moral integrity very seriously For serious people, this becomes an insult and loses the meaning of the gift."

"Think about it, if he accepts your money, Master Huang will not only feel inferior and ashamed. What's more serious is that if this matter spreads, it will have a devastating impact on his reputation. Destroy,"

"If nothing else, let's consider it from a purely utilitarian perspective. If I charge you five hundred yuan, you have to risk your dignity, face, status, and reputation. Is it worth it?"

"So, this involves the second principle of gift-giving. Gifts must not only be given rightly, but also given skillfully. They must be worthy of the identity of the recipient and have done enough to give others face. Good results. That’s what I said, give others something they can’t refuse in a way they can’t refuse. ”

"What do you mean? We need to use subtle methods to resolve all the factors that Master Huang is worried about. We want him to feel comfortable receiving gifts, receive them openly, and receive them without any worries. Best of all, he can also be accepted by others. The good news among outsiders made his reputation even higher..."

"Don't frown, it's actually very easy to handle. That's what I think, I'm going to find a foreigner to help. Think about it, a foreign art collector claims to be here because of his reputation, and comes to buy paintings specifically. That Huang Master, can you still be unhappy? This is a good thing to gain fame and make money, and it doesn’t involve anything else. He will definitely agree and be honored."

"And when we bought his painting at a high price, he accepted our feelings. Doesn't it mean that the gift was successful? At this point, if I mention your matter again, it will be much easier. Presumably No matter how angry Master Huang is, he can't turn his back at that moment, so he will patiently listen to my explanation of your situation."

"As for you, just wait in the private room of the restaurant. As long as I can bring Master Huang to you at noon, it will prove that I am willing to forgive you. Once we meet, if you admit your mistake sincerely, Let’s have a glass of wine during the dinner. What do you think?

How about it?

High, of course high.

Facts have proved that Xiao Heping only regarded this idea as "a dead horse being treated as a living horse doctor", and he really underestimated Hong Yanwu's IQ.

In actual operation, the situation was extremely smooth.

At noon, Hong Yanwu and Angelo invited Master Huang almost on time.

As for Xiao Heping, who was anxious and timid, he still couldn't believe it when he saw people.

In a daze, I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered that I should step forward to say hello.

"Huang...Professor Huang, do you still remember me...me? I am...I am the Xiao Heping who was driven away by you, I...I was wrong..."

Unexpectedly, due to the rush of excitement, I actually lost my temper at the critical moment and even stuttered.

And just when he was extremely embarrassed by his clumsy tongue and didn't know how to express his apology clearly.

On the contrary, Master Huang asked him not to be nervous in a pleasant manner and comforted him in an approachable manner.

Master Huang claimed that he had understood his situation and understood that he had a reason for the incident, so he would no longer blame him.

He even encouraged him firmly afterwards.

"Artists must always let their works speak for themselves. You must stick to your integrity and don't lose yourself because of temporary utilitarianism. Because once the heart is polluted, you will not be able to create something that is deep into the soul and contagious. Works."

"So, don't believe that those who do evil things can succeed. I can assure you that as long as I am still a judge, the results of this review will not be interfered by others."

"If your work is of sufficient quality, you can definitely win an award without giving gifts. But if you still can't win an award, it must be because your work is defective. It only means that you need to continue to improve yourself."

There is nothing better than this result.

After this meal, Xiao Heping completely regained his confidence and felt that life was full of light again.

But just when he was thanking Hong Yanwu with great gratitude for helping him.

To his surprise again, he found that his optimism seemed to be a bit too much.

Because Hong Yanwu said that this matter has just begun.

He was also assigned a new task, asking him to find out the names and addresses of other primary judges through Mr. Kang Ping as soon as possible.

He said that he would visit all the judges one by one before the shortlist was announced.

Only in this way can this matter really have a chance of winning.

Of course, Xiao Heping was puzzled by this.

He thinks that since Master Huang has said that, will something happen again?

Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu was amused by his innocence.

Taught him another good lesson.

"Oh, what did Master Huang promise you? Did he promise you that your painting would be included in the re-election? He didn't say that. He just said that he would try his best to maintain fairness. Didn't I tell you that too, maybe? Are there two outcomes? ”

"You just don't interact with many people. Let me tell you, be obedient and listen to the voice. Don't just take it literally. No one will say it to death, and that will not only make things difficult for yourself. Such a promise is not very credible."

"So right now, what Master Huang promised can be implemented, but he will try his best to help. But after all, he is a person, and the resistance he encounters is so great, it is hard to say how much he can help. Of course, we will take advantage of the opportunity. If we have time, try to win the support of more judges. There is no doubt that the more judges are on our side, the more effective Master Huang’s words will be.”

"Although, the man surnamed Guan has already given gifts, it would be too late for us to give them again. But it also depends on whether the value of the gifts is equal. Let me tell you, what I offer is something that others cannot refuse. Price. As long as we take action, even the judges who are more inclined to Guan will switch sides and be pulled over by us..."

Well, this is called crazy.

But when Xiao Heping truly understood the inside story, he was completely dumbfounded.

Because Hong Yanwu is really not bragging, he is too generous.

At Master Huang's place, he actually spent a full 35,000 foreign exchange coupons to buy 33 works in one go.

There are both traditional Chinese paintings and oil paintings, which is almost the amount of Master Huang’s creations in five or six years.

As far as Xiao Heping knows, there is rarely such a large-scale sale of paintings in China.

Especially oil painting, which is a type of painting that has just developed in modern times in our country.

The market in this area is actually much cooler than that of traditional Chinese paintings.

Many painters’ oil paintings are not collected by art museums.

It can only be hung in hotels and sold together with handicrafts and tourist souvenirs.

There are only some diplomats stationed in the capital, staff of foreign companies, and some Hong Kong businessmen making sporadic purchases.

The price will naturally not be too high, and the artist himself will have to pay part of the consignment fee.

So in the minds of many oil painters, they have never thought that their works can be cashed in through buying and selling.

Most of them regard this profession as pure art, and most of them are professors at the Academy of Fine Arts.

Even at the level of Master Huang, he is an authoritative figure in the domestic oil painting profession.

If a work can be sold for eight hundred thousand, it is considered a high price.

Hong Yanwu paid almost double the price, and he bought so much in one fell swoop.

It’s no wonder why Master Huang is so friendly towards him.

But after figuring this out, Xiao Heping became even more confused and hesitant.

He really didn't know whether he should do what Hong Yanwu said.

Because if we do this and go to all the judges' offices, how much money will Hong Yanwu have to pay?

No matter where Hong Yanwu's money came from, it was an astronomical figure to him.

This is a huge debt, and I am afraid he will never be able to repay it in his lifetime.

He never thought that his matter would require so much money, and his heart was full of apologies to Hong Yanwu.

What's more, if you get such honor and recognition based on money, is it still valuable and meaningful?

This is tantamount to cheating.

He also had strong doubts about the legitimacy of his persistence.

Fortunately, Hong Yanwu had the ability to see into people's hearts, and it was easy to see his concerns and wavering.

So I gave the right advice in a timely manner.

"Peace, please don't have any burden in your heart. You are so hesitant at this time."

"I'm telling you, don't worry about me trying to make peace with you. But I also think what Master Huang said is right. You can't achieve anything by doing evil things. You have to be strong when you are forging iron."

"As the saying goes, rescuing people will not make you poor. If you really have no ability, it will be useless for me to help you. Even if I use money to help you, you will have to fall down if you don't have the ability later. Then when the time comes Even if we both fall to death, we will both become infamous."

"But if you have the ability, even if you miss this opportunity, you can still get ahead sooner or later. This means that the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley, and gold will always shine."

"If nothing else, it's just that you don't love anything every day, so you just think about drawing. To draw a hand, you can start from the bones, then draw the blood vessels, draw the skin, from the inside to the outside, and do it completely I believe you are an art genius.”

"I have never seen a painter who can do this. It doesn't mean how high your level is, but how obsessed you are. People like you are born to be painters. You can't even paint. If you come out, no one will be worthy of being called a painter."

"What is the use of my money? Compared with your ability, it is nothing. At most, it can only play a supporting role in your success. The only meaning is to help you avoid lifelong regrets. Just waste a few years waiting for fame."

"I know, you may think that I spent a little too much money for your business. Then I might as well tell you frankly that my money did not come from the strong wind. No matter how good our relationship is, I I won’t invest in you like this regardless of the consequences.”

"The reason why I am willing to pay such a high price is because I really want to buy these paintings. Now these paintings seem to me to be just a bargain. Sooner or later, they will soar into the sky and bring me a lot of money." of economic returns.”

"Maybe you think that the price I paid for the paintings is too high, which is a bit silly. But you have to think about it from my perspective. I am an outsider. How do I know the quality of the paintings sold outside? Creator Is it famous? Besides, it’s such a beautiful painting, who would want to sell it?”

"But it's different now. Thanks to your work, I can buy paintings from judges and go directly to their homes. They are all exquisite works. What's more, among the judges who can judge awards for national art exhibitions, who are not in the industry? A famous painter? I can just buy it with my eyes closed, and the price is good, and I can choose what I like. So to put it bluntly, in this matter, we are purely mutually beneficial, killing two birds with one stone."

"Well, let me thank you, okay? Please let me help you. There is really no need for you to feel that you owe me anything. If you really feel sorry for yourself, just give me a few more pictures of you. When you become famous, I will make a lot of money, okay?”

Is it good?

Okay, this sentence is better than ten years of reading.

Xiao Heping felt as if he had experienced a brainstorm and was bathed in an alternative "Brain Teasers".

I was completely impressed by Hong Yanwu's shrewdness.
