Debut After Eight Years Chapter 311

Those who can be invited to participate in the banquet here are all screened by Curtis College.

Basically, they are all artists who can be named and have achieved fame, or they are North American tyrants who have friendly relations with these artists, or have donation relations with several top music academies.

The upper circle of society is actually very small.

Therefore, most people at the scene basically know each other.

Both Sean and Reid are known to everyone, knowing that these two are local tyrants who like art very much. They like music, art, and art, and they are well-known art collectors in the circle.

The artworks that can be collected by them are basically top ranks. Although they don't have collections of national treasures, they all have collections that are slightly inferior to national treasures, and their value is very high.

now……

Xiao En actually asked Wang Qian for calligraphy in public.

This almost shows 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 it has value. Even a lump of shit, as long as someone spends one million to buy it, then it is worth one million.

The same is true for Wang Qian's calligraphy, although others around them don't think Wang Qian's calligraphy has artistic value and actual monetary value.

However, someone here is bidding to buy it!

Well, this is valuable.

Regardless of whether they admit it or not, what they think cannot change this fact.

A pair of eyes looked at Wang Qian, Xiao En, and Reid!

Ru Ke, who was not far away, whispered to Liu Shengnan, "Isn't that the person who is going to bid 5 million dollars to buy your knight, is called Reid?"

Liu Shengnan nodded and stared at Wang Qian: "Well, that's him. Now I have brought another person to ask Professor Wang for words. It seems that they really want Professor Wang's work."

Chen Xiaowen asked curiously: "Can a foreigner really understand Professor Wang's words?"

Ru Ke smiled and said, "They may not understand the beauty of Professor Wang's calligraphy, but they understand the value of Professor Wang's calligraphy. That Reid said, he has an auction house under his banner, and he is a collector. It has a high market sense of value. I think that after a few hundred years, Professor Wang's calligraphy works may become very valuable antique works of art!"

"Think about it. In this 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 of course have high artistic value. Perhaps, after hundreds of thousands of years, Professor Wang's works will all be national treasures. Just like the few national treasures of calligraphy we know now, the original author was not like Wang when he was alive thousands of years ago. Professor such a man is thriving."

Ru Ke's words made several people around him think.

And they are very clear about the situation!

Therefore, they were not surprised by Ru Ke's words.

After all, no one here is a fool.

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

Liu Shengnan, Yu Jingruo, Xiao Dongmei, Ru Ke, etc., who have Wang Qian's works in their hands, have made up their minds that they will not let the works in their hands be lost. They must be collected and passed on to their descendants. Maybe This is the heirloom level treasure.

Of course, what they value is not the value of Wang Qian's work, but the meaning that Wang Qian's work represents.

Not far away!

Seeing that Wang Qian did not immediately answer, Xiao En said: "Mr. Wang Qian, I know that you are an artist, and I also like art very much. However, at the same time, I am also a businessman. I am willing to pay a high price for Mr. Wang Qian's Chinese calligraphy. Works. As far as I know, your calligraphy works are extremely valuable in China. Each work is worth more than one million US dollars, and the high value may reach three or four million US dollars."

"And your first calligraphy work in North America, I am willing to bid five million dollars to buy, how about it? No matter what you write, I will buy it!"

Xiao En didn't deliberately keep a low profile. He didn't speak loudly or lowly, and he didn't rush or slow down, but he was able to make most of the caring people around him hear clearly.

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

All the many North American music artists and art lovers around who heard this price, as well as many Chinese VIPs such as Chaohui, Yang Jiansen, Peng Donghu, Huang Jun, etc., all stared at Sean with wide-eyed expressions. Some are unbelievable and incredible!

Malone, Cummins, Kalman, Dawson, Denzel and many other music artists heard the number of five million dollars, and they felt that their brains were blank!

At a price of five million U.S. dollars, even among the many well-known antique collections, you can buy very good and unique collections.

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

Malone and Kalman, Dawson, Hoffman and others were unacceptable for a while.

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

So far, they have not seen any living artist whose work can be sold at such a price!

At that time, the 80-something old painter's masterpiece sold for a high price of three million US dollars, which shocked the entire European and American art circles.

Top artists such as Malone and Murphy also attended the banquet of the old painter to celebrate the high price of his works, breaking the record of the highest selling price for all the painters when they were still alive.

They all expressed their understanding and recognition of the old painter's works sold for three million US dollars.

After all, he has been a well-known painter for more than 60 years, and he is now the first veteran 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 was old and dying, the value of his masterpieces soared. It is normal to sell for three million dollars. When he really passed away, the three-million-dollar work The value will at least double, or even several times.

But……

You are a 30-year-old Chinese music artist whose calligraphy works are now sold for 5 million US dollars?

Why?

Now it's sold at a high price of five million dollars!

How about waiting for Wang Qian to be seventy and eighty?

How much can I sell?

Want to sell for fifty million dollars?

What about waiting for Wang Qian to die?

How much do you sell?

500 million dollars?

For a time!

Many European and American artists cannot accept this.

A musician whispered to Hoffman who knew Sean: "Does Mr. Sean like to make jokes?"

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

Everyone knew in their hearts that Sean was definitely not here to make a joke.

Who would make a joke about this kind of thing on this occasion?

The scene still maintains absolute silence.

Everyone raised their wine glasses and looked at Wang Qian's side.

Waiting for Wang Qian to answer.

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 to eat and money, and more money is needed to maintain a decent life for artists.

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

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

Xiao En laughed and said, "Of course, Reid and I are good friends. We both like Huaxia culture. There are many collections from Huaxia in our collection room! I like your piece of Xia Ke Xing the most, listen to me. Recite it to you!"

Xiao En paused, without 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 that he was only a little weird and could hear clearly. Chinese recites the chivalrous line.

"Zhao Keman and Hu Ying, Wu Goushuang Xueming."

"The silver saddle illuminates the white horse, rustling like a meteor."

"Kill one person in ten steps, don't stay for a thousand miles."

"Flick away when things happen, and hide merit and fame deeply..."

The people in all the banquet halls around were stunned.

Malone and Hoffman, Kalman, Dawson and others all looked at Sean more incredible again.

None of them could imagine that Xiao En could recite a Chinese poem on the spot, and it seemed that the recitation was okay!

Huaxia Chinese can be said to be the most difficult language recognized by many people in Europe and America.

Xiao En's level of Chinese is obviously not a beginner, and he may have learned it for a long time.

Even Liu Shengnan, Ru Ke, Xiao Dongmei, Chen Xiaowen and others were surprised and strange seeing this scene!

They traveled all the way to the banquet hall of the top music and art school in North America and listened to a New York tycoon recite the latest contemporary Chinese poetry in Chinese...

It feels weird no matter how you think about it.

However, the next few pairs of eyes looked at Liu Shengnan enviously!

The calligraphy works of Xia Ke Xing written by Wang Qian are in the hands of Liu Shengnan!

This work has fans in North America, and it is conceivable that the popularity and value of this work is absolutely beyond their imagination.

With the passage of time in the future, the value and popularity of this work will definitely continue to increase!

If you can collect a piece of this kind of work, just looking at it every day is a kind of enjoyment...

Especially for Li Qingyao, who has always wanted to collect Wang Qian's works, the envy in Liu Shengnan's eyes almost overflowed.

If possible, Li Qingyao is willing to give out 90% of her property to Liu Shengnan to purchase this work, and the remaining 10% of the money will allow her to live.

but……

She knows what kind of person Liu Shengnan is, and it is absolutely impossible 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.

Miyuki Nakamori and Mako Chiba, who have been transparent people in the corner, both clasped their hands in excitement at the moment, and their eyes were tightly looking at Sean who was reciting the knighthood there.

This work is also one of their favorites among Wang Qian's works.

It is also the most influential work among Wang Qian's published poems so far. It is no wonder that both Reid and Sean want this work.

If they can, they also want to have a calligraphy by Wang Qian.

However, they knew it was almost impossible.

Miyuki Nakamori whispered to Qian Yu Zhenzhu: "This poem, in the two thousand years of Chinese poetry culture, there are few that can be compared with it. Wang Qianjun's talent is amazing."

Qianyu Zhenzhu nodded: "Yes, many people in our country who like Huaxia culture are fans of Wang Qianjun. I heard that a senior uncle of the Toyota Consortium bid 5 million Huaxia coins to acquire this knight-erring work, but The intermediary he sought did not contact the holder."

Chiba Maju called the person from the Toyota Consortium an uncle, which shows that her identity in the island country is also extraordinary.

The two looked at Liu Shengnan at the same time.

They all know that this chivalrous line is in the hands of Liu Shengnan.

They also know that Liu Shengnan is not short of money, and that five million Chinese coins are far from buying this work.

After all, there are people here who drive to five million dollars.

Sophie and Taylor looked at each other, and they could also see a hint of surprise in each other's eyes. Then they looked at Wang Qian even more ardently, as if Wang Qian had treasures that could not be unearthed.

Sean quickly recite the poem of Xia Ke Xing.

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

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

After listening, Wang Qian looked at Xiao En with appreciation, clapped his hands, and said, "Mr. Xiao En speaks Chinese very well."

Xiao En smiled triumphantly and said directly in Chinese: "Of course, I have to travel to China for at least one week every year. If I have enough time, I will live for about one month. My Chinese is already very good. I can communicate with everyone in China. Then, can Professor Wang satisfy the wishes of a Chinese culture lover?"

Xiao En 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."

Reid was a little envious when he heard Sean speak proficient Chinese. He also asked a Chinese teacher to teach himself, but his language talent was limited. After several years of learning, he still couldn't 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 lightly, and said in Chinese: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao En, for liking my work, but I'm sorry. I can't agree to your request."

Xiao En looked at Wang Qian slightly disappointed, and asked, "Why? I am very sincere, and I also like your work very much."

Wang Qian said apologetically: "I just talked to you because you really like it, otherwise I would generally ignore such a request. Calligraphy and literature are one of my hobbies, I don't know how to use it. I sell my works for money. No matter how much you pay, I will not sell them."

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

Wang Qian shook his head: "I don't know what the artist's persistence 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."

Both Xiao En and Reid nodded at the same time. They both carefully understood Wang Qian's information in China and knew that Wang Qian was not bragging.

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

Shaun changed the subject now and said: "I want to make friends with you, do you have an Internet company? How about I buy you a share? 100 million US dollars, I only need 2% of the shares, this valuation should be now The tallest right? I just want to make friends with you."

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

This is indeed far beyond the valuation given to Qianqian Jingting by many capitalists before.

Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, Jiang Yu, and Murong Yue were slightly shocked. Because they watched Wang Qian build Qianqianjingtiao step by step with their own eyes, and it only took half a year to bring this brand new music platform to the valuation of more than 30 billion Huaxia coins by their own efforts?

This kind of wealth appreciation speed is not unique in the Internet field, but it is absolutely rare!

Because what Shaun said was in English.

Therefore, Reid also heard it, and immediately said: "I also invested 50 million US dollars, as long as 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 quieter, so not many people heard them, only Malone and Taylor, Sophie, Dawson, and Kalman who were very close together heard them.

Ma Long asked Sophie in surprise: "Did he still start a company in China? It's so valuable?"

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

Malone, Kalman, Dawson and others were speechless, their eyes fixed on Wang Qian.

The image of Wang Qian's innocent world super music artist and super music genius became a lot blurry in an instant...

writer!

Successful entrepreneurs!

Super rich!

Waiting for the identity, overlapped in Wang Qian.

Although, it is no longer so pure.

However, it has become even taller.

They all need to look up to see Wang Qian's shadow.

Just now Wang Qian told Ronnies that music and art are just a hobby, not all of them.

Malone, Hoffman, Murphy and other top music artists in the world felt amused after listening to them, thinking that Wang Qian had deliberately told Ronnies and them.

but……

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

They felt that Wang Qian was not trying to pretend, but to tell the truth.

Music art is really just one of his hobbies, only a small part of his life.

At least.

Wang Qian's identity as a writer and entrepreneur seems to be equally successful.

Then……

A big question arose in the hearts of several people.

Why?

Why, why, can he do this?

They have devoted their entire lives to the struggle of music and art, and they are absolutely focused on this field. In the end, is it not as good as someone else's hobby?

Several of the world's top music artists have a sense of inconceivability and frustration in their hearts.

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

Reid asked, "Why?"

He wanted to say, we almost gave you 150 million dollars in vain, why don't you?

They didn't take that bit of shares seriously, it really didn't make much sense, as long as they didn't lose money in the future, they really just wanted to get on the line with Wang Qian. With their wealth, hundreds of millions of dollars of funds were thrown out, and not losing money is actually a loss.

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

purely……

Xiao En said silently again: "Is this the artist's persistence again?"

Reid was also convulsed, apparently speechless for this reason in his heart.

Although they are true art lovers, sometimes their persistent persistence towards those artists is very speechless.

Of course, they also understand that the reason why those big artists can become big artists is because they have some different kinds of stubbornness.

Otherwise, without this stubbornness, it is estimated that he would not be a top artist.

But, Wang Qian is still so young, do you have the stubbornness of those old artists?

Qin Xuerong and Qin Xuehong both smiled slightly.

Wang Qian also smiled and said to Xiao En and Reid: “If you regard this as the artist's insistence, that's okay. Anyway, I don't like to accept other people's capital into my company. Can this company make money and how much is it worth? , I don't care. I just want to have a relatively pure platform that can be at my disposal, so that I can release my works freely, and also allow other real musicians to release their works freely."

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

Sean and Reid understood.

In their view, this is the artist's stubbornness at work.

They have seen it more than once.

But.

This shows that they might have to return empty-handed when they came to see Wang Qian this time.

Shaun said regretfully: "That's really a shame."

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

Anyway, he won't agree.

Xiao En looked at the glass that he had drunk, waved to the waiter who was holding the plate not far away, then picked up a glass of wine, and said to Wang Qian again: "It's nice to meet Professor Wang today, and have another drink. "

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

Wang Qian did not refuse the kindness of the two, and took a sip with the two of them while holding the wine glass, and said, "Thank you, I am also very happy to meet you."

Xiao En didn't pester Wang Qian again, and said: "In two months, I will travel to China again. I hope that I will have the opportunity to have a meal with Professor Wang."

Reid also said, "I will go together this time."

The two actually agreed to go to China to acquire Wang Qian's calligraphy works left in the folk.

Wang Qian still kept smiling and said, "China welcomes you!"

He did not promise to have dinner with them. When he returned to China, he would fly up in a hurry, so there was no time to invite them to dinner.

Xiao En was a little disappointed, knowing that Wang Qian was still a little repulsive to them, and it was indeed the artist's personality that was at work!

If it is ordinary entrepreneurs and managers who can have such an opportunity to have a good relationship with North American tyrants like them, they will definitely come together immediately.

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

resignedly!

But there is also a hint of admiration.

This may be a pure artist.

Xiao En: "Thank you Professor Wang, then I will leave first. I hope that when we meet next time, we will have a chance to talk a few more words."

Reid: "Goodbye, Professor Wang!"

Wang Qian: "Goodbye!"

The two turned to leave, raised their glass of greetings to some of the artists they knew around. They had seen them, and had a drink with several top artists such as Malone, Kalman, and Hoffman, and left the banquet directly.

They came here to see Wang Qian.

I've seen it, talked about it, and I'm leaving.

The people who came in a hurry, and the people who left were simply incomparable.

However, their coming here has also allowed many European and American artists and rich people around to have a clearer and comprehensive understanding of Wang Qian's talent and strength.

This is an incredible young man!

The image of Wang Qian became tall and colorful in their hearts.

For a time!

More people came to talk to Wang Qian.

Almost hundreds of people at the scene looked for 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 a high achievement in Chinese calligraphy and literature. If you have the opportunity, you must see it."

"thanks, thanks……"

"Professor Wang, I didn't expect Qianqian Jingting to be a company founded by you, young and promising."

"thanks, thanks……"

"Professor Wang, I am very happy to meet you today. I will learn Chinese when I go back and study your literary works."

"thanks, thanks……"

"Professor Wang, I heard that your previous dream was to be an ordinary person, so it has always been ordinary and unknown. Why did it suddenly explode in the last six months?"

"Thank you, thank you... uh, maybe it's a whim!"

"Professor Wang……"

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

Wang Qian didn't know how many thanks he said, even if he drank many cups every time he took a sip.

Both Qin Xuerong and Qin Xuehong were distressed when they watched Wang Qian's side.

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

Everyone's name for Wang Qian directly became Professor Wang, and he respected a lot in his attitude.

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

When a person is capable and talented, the surrounding music artists may just approve of you.

However, when a person is talented, strong, and very rich!

Then, these artists will respect you very much, and even have a hint of flattery.

Wang Qian's socializing mouths were tired.

Seeing that the banquet time is over, there are still hundreds of people waiting eagerly to come and chat with Wang Qian.

Wang Qian reluctantly surrendered, raising his wine glass and saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for your welcome and enthusiasm to me today, but it is getting late. Everyone needs to go back and rest. Let us have a drink at the end. ..."

"For the music..."

As the protagonist of this banquet.

Wang Qian's proposal was supported by most people.

Because ~www.mtlnovel.com~ time is indeed late, many of the older music artists on the scene want to go back to rest.

Therefore, everyone raised their glasses to respond to Wang Qian's call.

"For the music..."

Everyone said it together.

They all raised their glasses and had a drink together.

Diana and other members of the program group also breathed a sigh of relief. They watched the boring dinner and watched the boring dinner, making them want to end early, and the ratings have dropped a lot.

However, because of Curtis College's request, they placed the camera farther away and failed to place the camera in the middle of the shot. So I don't know what Wang Qian and Sean Reid had talked about. It was just that Wang Qian was here very much. Popular.

Now it's finally over!

Diana once again took the mission of the program team to interview Wang Qian for the last time, 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 target the first place in the Good Voice International Competition. Promote an official competition.

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

However, Diana felt restless at the thought of the gambling agreement between herself and Wang Qian before the camera, witnessed by all the live audience. Some did not want to face it, but some inexplicable expectations.

Thinking of waiting to meet Wang Qian face to face again.

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

And Wang Qian is now saying goodbye to several acquaintances!

Ronnies, Curtis's dean, did not appear again.

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

Malone, Denzel, Murphy and other music artists also said goodbye to Wang Qian again...

Wang Qian could only socialize, and it took more than half an hour to deal with it before it was over!

So tired...
