Fang Yi returned to Los Angeles and lived a peaceful life of his own. Of course, to be stable, there are always some people who come and go back. . . It was Zou Heming who was really having the best time during these days. Christmas, a big holiday in the West, is approaching. It seems that the New Year is here in the United States. Those who want money and those who pay are suddenly busy. Fang Yi has gained two things during this period. The Fang family's The second boy was born, and Fang Yi himself became an honorary citizen of Los Angeles. Of course, it¡¯s almost the end of the year, and the awards that should be given out have to be given out. Fang Yi doesn¡¯t have any big prizes to win, but his wife Zheng Yuan really has a lot of awards, such as charity meetings, musicians¡¯ meetings and the like. It seems that he is much busier than Fang Yi. Fang Yi looked at the second son Zheng Mingyang in the arms of his mother-in-law Li Yunmei, and then said to Zheng Yuan who was about to go out: "Zou Heming is here today, or I will go with you!". Here Fang Yi was speaking politely to his wife. There was a charity meeting in the music industry tonight. Zheng Yuan attended as a hostess, including the performance and a small dinner after the end. Not many people in attendance were There are many, but according to Zheng Yuan, they are all good musicians. Being a good musician and painting are two different things. Fang Yi has been with Zheng Yuan for almost ten shows in the past two weeks. Fang Yi really can't arouse any interest in this show. "I know! Just wait for Zou Heming to come over!" Zheng Yuan smiled at Fang Yi, then stretched her head into her mother Li Yunmei's cup and teased her second son. Finally, she looked at her eldest son Fang Yi. A kiss on Nu's face. Turned around and went out and got into the car. As soon as Zheng Yuan left, the second boy Zheng Mingyang immediately burst into tears at the top of his lungs, and his voice didn't stop at all. The little guy Fang Tu still stretched out his hand to hook his grandmother's sleeve. He shouted indiscriminately: "My brother is crying, let me see!". Seeing his eldest son's anxious look, Fang Yi couldn't help but shook his head. When this kid heard his younger brother crying, he felt as if he was on stimulants. He was extremely happy. He didn't know what was so happy about it. Fang Yi didn't understand this. "You're a loser! You little thing has the nerve to cry," Fang Yi muttered to his second son with a smile. He reached out and scratched his son's nose. Originally, Fang Yi didn't know how much he was looking forward to being a daughter. Who knew that he would still be a son after birth, which immediately made Fang Yi disappointed. Moreover, this son is not at all like Fang Ruo when he was little, he is just a noisy person. He usually sleeps soundly during the day, but howls at the top of his lungs at night. To Fang Yi, he looks like a little troublemaker. Fang Yi was a little disappointed. It's not that I don't like this son, but when it comes to liking the little thing, it's Zheng Xianguo and Li Yunmei who care most about him. Maybe that¡¯s why this little guy¡¯s last name is Zheng! "Don't cry, baby, don't cry anymore! Mingyang is good!" Li Yunmei immediately started to coax her, and while chanting in her mouth, she started to spin around the room. After walking a few steps, her second son stopped talking and opened his nostrils. A big bubble came out of his mouth. This is the second place where the little thing troubles people. When you're not sleeping, you have to move. Fang Yi took advantage of the situation and left the living room and took care of himself in the studio. Started to work on his own creation, that is, the conception and sample collection of Nezha Naohai. As soon as the door of the studio closed, Fang Yi was immersed in his own world. Now Fang Yi is holding a comic book in his hand, yes! It is commonly known as the Little Man Book. The current set is the entire set of Nezha that Zhang Xu helped Fang Yi get, and it is a very beautifully printed edition published in 1980. Now Fang Yi is half lying on the chair in the studio, with his legs crossed proudly. From time to time, he reaches out to flip through the little book, or picks up the teapot next to him and takes a sip. Just looking at this look does not look like a master is creating a work, but rather It's like a landlord in the old society keeping accounts. It would be more like that if there was a fat butler standing next to him! Fang Yi was watching Nezha ripping off the dragon tendons of the third prince of the Dragon King when he heard Zou Heming's voice coming from next to him. "Are you looking so fascinated?" Zou Heming pulled up a chair and sat next to Fang Yi and said. "When did you come here?" Fang Yi turned to look at Zou Heming and then turned his attention to the little book. "Just arrived!" Zou Heming said to Fang Yi. As he spoke, he took out a check from his pocket, put it in front of Fang Yi's eyes and waved it: "This is what Sophoby gave you, the ones from the insurance company." The money will be there for a few days!¡± Grabbing the check in front of him, Fang Yi skillfully folded it in half with one hand and put it into his breast pocket. After putting the check in, he continued to flip through the little book: "These guys are asking us to pay." They are always very positive, but when they are asked to lose money, they procrastinate.It's gone! ". "Ha ha! "Zou Heming stretched out his hand and patted the armrest of Fang Yi's chair: "The necessary process still needs to be done! Besides, they can't run away. The money will be in your account in two weeks at most. Why are you paying so much attention to this if you are not in a hurry! How about giving away 27.5 million yuan with your original magnanimity? ". After hearing this, Fang Yi immediately raised his face, glanced at the cheerful Zou Heming and said, "I didn't expect the price of that work to be so high! ". "The 27.5 million that Zou Heming mentioned was the Vermeer imitation. Fang Yi originally estimated that it was only 7 to 8 million US dollars, but reality gave Fang Yi another blow. There were three museums on site and two private collectors who were very enthusiastic about this work, including the Tokyo Museum of Western Art in Japan. They wanted to take this work back, but in the end they failed to do so. The museum in Philadelphia gave The final price of 27.5 million was paid, and this Vermeer imitation was included in the bag. The ironclad facts proved that Fang Yi always estimated the price of some works to be different from the auction price. It was so huge that it was a world of difference. After receiving two blows in a row, Fang Yi decided to lower the price of the painting in the future, because in Fang Yi¡¯s opinion, some people in the world were crazy. For every billionaire there is a multi-millionaire. You can be regarded as a person who alarmed North America! "Zou Heming looked at Fang Yi with a smile and said. "This sentence refers to the painting where Michelangelo created a rich man worth 300 million, and Zhang Xu and Li Lin divided the 27,800, Both of them are high-rollers worth tens of millions of dollars. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Didn't you see that I was reading a book? "Fang Yi felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. Nowadays, when friends mention this matter, they usually use a joking tone like Zou Heming. Zou Heming stretched his head and looked at the little book in Fang Yi's hand and said: "This thing Also considered a book? It's just like a primary school student talking about pictures, don't be so advanced! ". "What do you know! I'm not just looking at pictures, I'm looking at childhood memories! Fang Yi turned over the little book and explained to Zou Heming: "How can you, a naughty kid who grew up in the United States, have such an experience as I do!" Let me tell you, when I was growing up, I would always rent books like this from roadside stalls, and you could tell whether they cost one cent or two cents. At that time, I often asked my sister to borrow money because I was reading a small book! ". While flipping through the little book, Fang Yi told Zou Heming about the time he read the little book on the roadside when he was a child, trying to tell Zou Heming what he had in his hands. It was a kind of enjoyment when he was a child. Of course, Fang Yi said He asked his sister to borrow money. The word "borrow" is different from the usual word "borrow". Although Fang Yi said it with emotion, telling this to Zou Heming was obviously an insult to Lawrence Zou, who has a yellow skin and a white heart. He speaks fluent Chinese, but I don¡¯t have the same experience as Fang Yi. The United States has become a superpower in the world after World War II. It¡¯s hard to tell how old Fang Yi is when he reads the novel. Zou Heming has already read it. It¡¯s hard to resonate with something without personal experience, just like Zou Heming who is listening to Fang Yi talking now. I know that your living conditions were very difficult when you were a child, or that life in China was very difficult at that time, but now everyone is living a better life. Look at your current life, a villa with a swimming pool. Cars also start with the letter b! Don't think about the hard days in the past, let me tell you something." After saying that, Zou Heming looked at Fang Yi with contempt. He told Fang Yi what happened in Popile! Fang Yi finished listening I was a little dumbfounded. I subconsciously took the little book in my hand and turned to the cover. After taking a look, I felt a little incredible. I turned my attention to Zou Heming and asked, "No way! Popile actually found a scholar who studies Chinese mythology to give him a lecture? ". "It's not a guitar lesson, it's for his current student Dean Lintege, and then he will sort it out and summarize it before narrating it to Bobiel." After Zou Heming finished speaking, he saw Fang Yi's expression and said, "What's wrong? Why are you so surprised?" "This is too crazy! Fang Yi couldn't help but said: "Isn't it enough to just paint a picture of Nezha Naohai and listen to the story? How about a systematic understanding of Chinese mythology?" ". Zou Heming thought for a moment and said: "You have always lived in the Chinese cultural atmosphere. He is a European and doesn't understand it, so of course he needs to know more about it! " Fang Yi shook his head after hearing this. In Fang Yi's opinion, there is no system in ancient Chinese mythological stories. There is a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west. The time when the mythical characters were created and the relationship between the characters are not very clear. It is very confusing! This point The Greek mythology was very different, and later some Buddhist stories were added.?? things, and then mixed up in such a mixed manner, it is a bit difficult for a Chinese to sort them out, let alone a Westerner who does not understand Chinese culture. "Then I can only wish the old man good luck!" Fang Yi sighed and prepared to continue reading his little book. Seeing that Fang Yi was about to read again, Zou Heming reached out and pressed the little book in Fang Yi's hand and asked: "The young man from the village is the one you asked me to help arrange a small house to live in. He can't be Apprentice?" "What are you talking about? I'm only in my early thirties and he's in his early twenties. Want to be my student?" Fang Yi knew that Zou Heming had misunderstood as soon as he heard this: "Loretto is not the disciple I want. I just think he's pretty good, so I'll let him learn more in the Painter's Village! As for what he can gain, I'll have to wish him good luck. I haven't found a student yet, but Lao Wang's son will most likely be given away in two years. come over!". It seems that few talented people are stupid. Loreto arrived at the Painter Village after talking to Fang Yi for a week, and now he and Keshima seem to be getting closer. After all, they are both Italians. , which is also human nature. "He is very talented?" "Talent seems to be a bit, but the most important thing is favor!" Fang Yi said matter-of-factly. Lao Wang even opened his mouth and Lu Qikun also praised the child. Fang Yi also nodded before, Nine out of ten times this kid has become Fang Yi's disciple. After hearing this, Zou Heming put the matter aside: "Then let me tell you about Sophoby's arrangements?". "Okay! Tell me, I'll listen to what they want me to do!" Fang Yi put down the little book in his hand and said to Zou Heming. After taking other people's money, you have to do things for them. In this regard, Fang Yi still has some moral standards. After telling Fang Yi about Softby¡¯s booking process, Zou Heming asked Fang Yi, ¡°What do you think?¡±. "I don't think it's very good!" Fang Yi was a little impatient when he heard that Sophoby was going to move some works to his home, and then move them back after appraisal. If he keeps going like this and comes to his home every three to five days, Then earning more than one million is too tiring. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Let's do this. You ask them to take photos of the works that meet my requirements and send them to my mailbox via email. I'll ask them to send the paintings if I see some good works!" Fang Yi has no interest in seeing so many fake or unknown works. Don't bother him at home. He'd better send an email first. If there is a genuine product or he likes it, he will send the original work. Bring it. If anyone else heard this request, Fang Yi would think it was excessive, but Zou Heming just nodded: "Then I'll tell them!". When Fang Yi made this request, he thought it was a bit excessive, but now that he had made it known, he should wait for Zou Heming to bargain with Sopheby. (To be continued)
