All-Professional Trainer

Chapter 547 Merrill Gallery
Nagumo City, Merrill Gallery.

In the office, Lin Hailou was looking at the album when there was a knock on the door.

Li Chuan, the person in charge of the gallery, walked in.

"Boss, someone wants to take a painting to our art exhibition."

"Famous masters?" Lin Hailou asked.

Li Chuan shook his head.

"Then it's okay to follow the rules."

Lin Hailou was a little surprised. Nanyun City is a small city, and his Merrill Lynch Gallery cannot compare with those top galleries in terms of scale and influence.But in terms of income, it is not inferior at all.

The biggest reason is that he has excellent vision, knows how to train and package painters, and has good management ability.

There is no admission fee for the art exhibitions held in his gallery.The biggest source of all income comes from commissions from paintings.Secondly, it is the venue fees and publicity fees paid by the painters.

The painting commission refers to the paintings sold in the gallery, and the gallery can get [-]% to [-]% of the account.

As for the venue fee and publicity fee, those galleries are not optimistic, or the artist himself only wants to increase his fame, and does not want to sell his paintings, but wants to put them in the gallery or participate in the art exhibition held by the gallery.The gallery provided a venue, publicity, etc., and naturally charged a certain fee.

As for the cost, it depends on how the two parties negotiate and the quality of the painting.

What surprised Lin Hailou was that if it wasn't for the works of famous artists, Li Chuan would be able to make up his mind.

Li Chuan is in charge of all the affairs of the gallery.He is the boss, and the most important thing is to control the general direction and solve some matters that Li Chuan is uncertain about.

Li Chuan said helplessly: "The other party asked to take over the security and maintenance of all the art exhibitions."

"What kind of international joke are you making? You just refuse."

Lin Hailou suddenly felt dissatisfied. He was not a famous artist, but he still made demands on the gallery in a nonchalant manner, with an attitude that the gallery is too low-end and the security and maintenance work is not good enough.

This is not the first time he has encountered this situation.In the past, young people who felt good about themselves came to the door, asking for this and that, thinking that their paintings would be comparable to Van Gogh and Da Vinci in 200 years.He is not well-known now, and it is entirely because people today cannot understand his art.

A painter without personality can't draw a painting with personality. In line with the principle of not letting any painter go, Lin Hailou really took a serious look at each other's paintings.

In the end, he could only admit that he couldn't see where the other party's ultra-modern artistic sense was.

"The price offered by the other party is so high that I even wonder if I have a mental illness..." Li Chuan said with a bitter smile.

"Very high?" Lin Hailou dismissively said: "Even if you give 100 million, you have to follow the rules. Our gallery doesn't just give the booth if we pay a lot, at least we have to come up with some real materials."

"What about 1000 million?" Li Chuan asked.

"1000?"

Lin Hailou wondered if his ears had misheard.

"Yes!" Li Chuan nodded.

Lin Hailou sighed slightly: "What painters lack most is recognition. Another young man who has not been recognized for a long time, has an unstable mentality, and is driven insane by reality... If he can barely meet the standards for participating in the exhibition, let him attend for free. Well! No one can explain this painting thing clearly. I’m sure there is someone out there who thinks the mung bean is very good and is willing to pay a high price to collect it. As for his request, explain it patiently and don’t dampen his enthusiasm too much. If the work is really bad... buying it for three to five thousand can always give him some comfort."

"The problem is that people say they are worried about the safety of the transportation on the road. The painting is now in a strict confidentiality stage, and even the photos are not shown. And it is not the creator himself, but a guy in his 40s who claims to be an agent..." Li Chuan scratched his head and said: "The other party said that as long as we nodded and agreed, the 1000 million will be credited within 5 minutes. Judging by the words and deeds, it doesn't look like a psychopath, and it's true."

Lin Hailou chuckled.

1000?

This is not an international joke, but an interstellar joke.

His gallery, if you don't talk about the contacts he has accumulated over the years, the total value is only a few million.

Lin Hailou teased: "It costs 1000 million just to participate in an art exhibition held by a gallery worth several million yuan. Why don't you ask him to directly try to contact the art exhibition held by the National Art Gallery? Or, simply send me this He wants to open 1000 million, so I really sold Merrill Lynch Gallery to him. Anyway, the biggest capital of our gallery is the friendship with those painters, and it will still be prosperous in another place.”

"I really asked." Li Chuan shrugged: "People say that they have done a survey. Although our gallery is not the largest, we have been cultivating and supporting young painters. Go to a few conscience galleries like ours. In addition, our gallery will hold an art exhibition soon, so come and support us."

Lin Hailou was speechless.

The first half made him very proud. Painters need the approval of art lovers. As the owner of the gallery, he also needs the approval of painters.And he has been working hard in this direction.

Facts have also proved that his approach is correct.Although the gallery was very difficult at the beginning because of his approach, it got better after the first few years, and it got better and better.

Especially in recent years, Lin Hailou has been collecting money almost lying down.

Because after so many years, although Merrill Lynch Gallery has not discovered and cultivated first-line painters, it has discovered and cultivated many second- and third-line painters.And many of these second- and third-line painters were depressed in the early stage.Relying on the funding, packaging and publicity of Merrill Lynch Gallery regardless of gains and losses, it has gone down this road and gradually become famous.

Although there are white-eyed wolves among these painters, they didn't pay much attention to the small gallery Merrill Lynch after they became famous.But also more than half of the painters chose to continue to give their works to the Merrill Lynch Gallery instead of participating in the art exhibitions held by those large art museums or sending them to auctions.

Especially a second-line painter who once asked him to borrow 20 yuan to treat his father's illness. Now he has become famous. Not only are all his works handed over to Merrill Lynch Gallery, but no matter what Lin Hailou talks about, he just refuses to accept [-]% of it. , Life and death will be split fifty-fifty.

The price of the works of a well-known second-tier painter can reach tens of millions.

Merrill Lynch Gallery earns more than one million dollars a year from this second-tier painter alone.

Whether money is money or not, Lin Hailou doesn't really care about it. Anyway, he has no shortage now, which is why he never thought of opening a chain gallery.To make a painter have such a strong sense of identity with himself is the compliment he cares most about.

For a painter to praise him as a conscientious gallery and to be willing to pay a high price to participate in an exhibition, this is also recognition of him.

Not to mention how cool it is.

But what the hell is the second half?

Make yourself seem to be a first-line painter, and show your works to Merrill Lynch Gallery, which can greatly enhance the reputation of Merrill Lynch Gallery.

Ding Dong!

When Lin Hailou was dumbfounded, a text message sounded on his cell phone.

When he picked it up, his eyes widened a little.

On his private account, he received a transfer of 1000 million.

What's the situation?
Just when Lin Hailou was in a daze, he received another text message on his phone.

I clicked on one and it was sent from an unknown number.

In order to prove that it is not nonsense, I will pay the venue fee first, and hope to discuss the specific cooperation in detail.

Lin Hailou was dumbfounded.

The 1000 million venue and publicity fees are actually real?

But even before the contract was signed, you just transferred the money, aren't you afraid that you won't admit it?
Isn't this person too impulsive?
