Chapter 1129: Pierrett's Wedding
The auction was staggering, and naturally it was in the news. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Feng Yu auctioned two paintings at a high price, but he was only mentioned at the end of the news, the headlines of today's news are all Paul? Allen paid a whopping $80 million for an oil painting, and of course, mentioned that he paid more than $200 million in total at Sotheby's this time, and many people called him an art speculator.
Some artists began to lash out at Paul? Allen, said that he disgraced art and dusted his paintings, but he didn't mention Feng Yu, who also paid a high price for two paintings.
Don't know about Paul? Alan must have been depressed, but Feng Yu was in a very good mood because he got very good news.
"Kameda, are you sure you can buy that painting?"
"Yes, and the price will definitely not exceed 70 million dollars, maybe 50 million dollars will not be used. The important thing is that the painting meets your requirements boss, doesn't it? Kameda Masao said firmly.
Feng Yu patted Kameda Masao on the shoulder: "Hahaha, Kameda, well done." By the way, do you like this kind of oil painting? If you like it, you can pick one of these two oil paintings, and I will give it to you! ”
Kameda Masao's eyes widened, each of these paintings was auctioned by the boss for a huge sum of 70 million US dollars, and in the auction in the past ten years, it was also the top three highest prices, and in the entire history of oil painting, it was also the top ten highest prices, and the boss actually said that he would give him one!
"Boss, it's too precious, it's not suitable, I can't ask for it." Kameda was a little apprehensive.
"Eh~~~ You work so hard and do so hard, you deserve it. Don't be polite to me, I tell you and you take it. ”
Feng Yu attaches great importance to Kameda Masao, and occasionally gives Kameda Masao some favors to make Kameda Masao work more dedicatedly for him. With such a talent, Feng Yu can save a lot of things. The amount of money that Kameda Masao can help Feng Yu earn every year is not more than 70 million US dollars.
"This ...... Thank you so much to the owner. Rest assured, boss, I will definitely help you buy that painting at the lowest price. Kameda patted his chest and reassured.
After knowing that Feng Yu had bought two oil paintings at a high price at auction, Kameda told Feng Yu that there are also many Western artworks in the island country, such as oil paintings.
In the past few years, the art market was not very good, and the price of oil paintings fell, and this year there were signs of recovery, but because of the emergence of the Internet economic bubble, the price of art did not rise.
That is, at this auction, Feng Yu and Paul? Alan is two alternatives, otherwise the price of this auction will not be very high, and the oil paintings in this are the ones that were sold at the last London auction.
Feng Yu casually asked, what good oil paintings can the island country have. Kameda Masao told Feng Yu that in the late 80s, many businessmen from island countries liked to collect art, so at that time, there were many Western and Eastern artworks that fell into the hands of the rich people of island countries. At that time, the money of the island country was very large.
Later, the island's economy collapsed, and some works of art fell into the hands of bankers, mainly to pay off debts. The price of artworks will naturally become lower, and during this time, it has also entered the ice period of artworks in island countries, and there will be a large number of unsold artworks in most art auctions, and the reserve price is set too high, and no one bids at all.
Kameda Masao gave Feng Yu an example, saying that there was a Picasso work called "The Wedding of Pierrette", which sold for more than $50 million at the time, setting the highest price for a Picasso oil painting, and if it were not for this auction, this history would continue.
And now, the appraised price of this oil painting in bank collateral is less than 20 million dollars.
In fact, of course, the price of this oil painting will not be so low, 20 million US dollars, there are still many art collectors who will be willing to buy it, but the bank will not sell it, the mortgage price of this oil painting was more than 30 million US dollars. Besides, the bankers still measured the price of the painting at more than $50 million, and they would never sell it for $20 million. The price of less than $20 million is just an account.
When Feng Yu heard it, what is this oil painting called? "The Wedding of Pierrett"? The important thing is the word wedding, what a time. And Picasso, the most famous painter in recent history. To buy, you have to buy this painting!
Masao Kameda returns to the island country to talk to someone about buying "Pierrette's Wedding", but unfortunately he is full of confidence when he comes, but he is a little embarrassed at this time.
Originally, he thought that the painting would not sell in the island country, and the price would fall again and again. Even if the bankers had weighed the value of the painting very highly, it would not have exceeded $50 million.
But now, they are directly asking for 60 million US dollars!
A few years ago, the price of the painting was falling for $40 million.
Why did the bankers dare to ask for such a high price? Because they say that the spring of art is coming, the price of oil paintings, will rise again, and the auction at Sotheby's New York a few days ago is proof!
Kameda Masao was very helpless, of course he knew why the auction had set a new high, and it was not the boss who had raised the price in order to buy Mr. Kirilenko an oil painting as a wedding gift.
This is not a shot in the foot, because the boss has raised the price, so that the price of "Pierrette's Wedding" has also been reassessed.
Kameda Masao kept lobbying to keep the price down, but the bankers were determined not to lower the price. This painting originally belonged to them, but the people of the Reiki Foundation changed hands twice before it fell into their hands.
Recently, the stock price of network technology companies has plummeted, and they have lost a lot of investment, so they want to use this to make up for it.
After waiting for two days, there was no news, Feng Yu couldn't bear it, called Kameda Masao, and asked if he had bought the painting.
"Boss, things have changed."
"What, don't they sell?" Feng Yu said hurriedly. If he doesn't sell it, he has to buy it.
"It's not that they don't sell, it's that they ask for too high a price. They say this year's Sotheby's auction is proof that the prices of oil paintings are high. Kameda explained awkwardly.
"How tall? More than 100 million dollars no? ”
"Uh~~ That's not true. They asked for $60 million, and now I'm at $55 million. The boss gave me a little time and I was sure I would be able to keep the price down. ”
"It's okay, just buy it." Feng Yu said arrogantly. No matter what the price of this painting is at other times, the price that Feng Yu bought is the price of favors given to Kirilenko, and it doesn't matter if it is tens of millions of dollars, as long as it is unique.
"Boss, is it enough for you to give Mr. Kirilenko an oil painting?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Then I have another plan. Exchange another painting from your hand for Pierrette's Wedding and have them put on some other artwork. In their art list, I saw some antiques belonging to China. ”
An antique belonging to China? Then Feng Yu was really interested in exchanging it back.
"Okay, you make the decision, if necessary, add some cash, you are very thoughtful about this matter."
