Lu Li smiled, picked up a pen and signed the authorization agreement.

"Okay! Teacher Lu, I will prepare the relevant bidding materials right away."

Manager Wu stood up and shook hands with Lu Li, "I wish Teacher Lu's work a smooth pass and win!"

"Thank you!"

Lu Li smiled and nodded.

Three days later, Manager Wu found Lu Li again with a thick stack of documents.

"Ms. Lu, this is the bidding document we formulated. It contains a complete quotation and construction plan. You can take a look at it first. After the review is passed, our company will negotiate with the Xichuan Provincial Government for bidding."

Manager Wu handed this thick stack of documents to Lu Li.

"Ok!"

Lu Li took the documents and nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Lu, is the plane ticket booked by the Xichuan Provincial Government for the morning of the day after tomorrow? I'll come and take you to the airport then."

Manager Wu said a word, got up and left.

"Then trouble you."

It would be best if someone sent him to the airport, and Lu Li didn't refuse.

After Manager Wu left, Lu Li took a look at the bidding documents and was speechless for a long time.

Project quotation... 4000 million!

Lying in a groove!

The cost I calculated was 800 million, and Mr. Han tripled it to 400 million. Now... Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company has raised the price again!

Sure enough... the value of art is immeasurable!

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, black!It's so dark!This is killing the Xichuan Provincial Government as a fat pig, right?

How expensive is a statue?This money... will people pay?

It wasn't until Lu Li arrived in Xichuan to participate in the re-examination that he realized... It turns out that the Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company is not black at all!

Other people's quotations are more than 5000 million!

Chapter 233 Fame and fortune

Whether a thing is worth money depends largely on the hype.

For example, tulips that used to be more expensive than gold in Western countries, Clivia that were once hyped in China, and... diamonds that are still extremely expensive.

Yes, diamonds!

Diamonds are neither rare, rare, nor precious, but... they are so expensive.

How did it become valuable?

Several diamond companies, you take out a diamond, he bought it at a high price.He took out a diamond, and you bought it at a high price, and you just bought and sold it in turn.

When the others saw it, damn it!Are diamonds so valuable?Therefore, diamonds are valuable.

When Lu Li saw the quotation for the sculpture, he thought about it for a while and understood the truth.

Isn't that how the value of artworks comes from?

A calligraphy and painting can be sold for millions, even tens of millions.Then, this calligraphy and painting is worth so much money.

A few days later, it was time for the re-election held by Xichuan Provincial Government.

Early in the morning, Lu Li and Manager Wu got into an Audi and drove all the way to the airport.

The air ticket was booked by the Xichuan provincial government.Lu Li only needs to swipe his ID card at the airport to exchange for a boarding pass.

When entering the airport, Lu Li unexpectedly discovered that Manager Wu was accompanying him.

"Manager Wu, are you going to Xichuan too?"

Lu Li turned his head and asked Manager Wu.

"Yes! Go ahead and make a stop!"

Manager Wu replied with a smile, "Once your work has passed the re-selection, we need to operate the bidding."

"Just after the re-election? Shouldn't it be announced online?"

Lu Li was a little surprised.Re-election is the second step. Doesn’t the final result depend on the results of the public’s online voting?

"You mean online voting?"

Manager Wu smiled, "Isn't online voting all done by swiping? How can there be any fair and just online voting? In fact, the result of the re-election is the final result."

Well, I'm speechless!

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders.

Online voting... There is only one word, which is to swipe!

Purely spontaneous voting, with the level of participation of the domestic public, few people will vote for anything.

The re-election is the final result, and the online voting is just to watch the excitement.

This situation is not unexpected.

Since re-election is the final result, I have to be serious.

Lu Li reviewed the overall design process in his mind, and then began to organize his words, carefully preparing a commentary speech.

A few hours later, the plane landed at Chengdu Airport.

"Ms. Lu, welcome to Rongcheng!"

Xiao Wang in the Provincial Office is a girl in her twenties.Seeing Lu Li, the young and handsome "Teacher Lu", who is not yet 20 years old, Xiao Wang was slightly taken aback.

It turns out that Teacher Lu is so young!Even though he knew that Lu Li was a college student, Xiao Wang always thought that Lu Li was a postgraduate or doctoral student!

"My hometown also belongs to Xichuan!"

Lu Li smiled at Xiao Wang, "We are from Xichuan Yucheng."

"Wow! It turns out that Mr. Lu is our Xichuan talent!"

Xiao Wang sighed with a smile, then stretched out his hand to Lu Li and Manager Wu, "Come on, both of you, please get in the car."

Afterwards, the provincial government's reception car, carrying Lu Li and Manager Wu, drove all the way into downtown Rongcheng, and arrived at a big hotel near Xichuan Art Center.

"Ms. Lu, the two of you are resting here temporarily. In the evening, Director Gao of our provincial government office is going to cleanse everyone up."

After arranging the rooms for Lu Li and Manager Wu, Xiao Wang politely and politely left.

What an expert!

Lu Li smiled. My calligraphy and painting are already at the expert level, so I have the confidence to say that I am an expert.

That night, Lu Li attended the reception banquet held by the provincial government office.

Manager Wu didn't know where he went, and Lu Li didn't see anyone during dinner.

At the reception banquet, Lu Li also saw his competitor.Not surprisingly, these shortlisted works are all from the top art schools in China.

More than 300 submissions were submitted, and [-] shortlisted works were selected.There is no shortage of top ten art colleges in China, and the rest are also some famous colleges.

Lu Li also discovered that the other selected works were all team works.A professor led and a group of graduate students assisted in the completion.

Only Lu Li's works were created by him alone.

At this time, Lu Li finally understood why there was a high design fee and profit distribution.Because...it's all team work.

The money seems to be a lot, but after it is divided, it will not be much in the hands of everyone.

I actually completed the workload of a team by myself!

Lu Li smiled and shook his head.No wonder Mr. Han didn't speak for a long time when he saw my work.

It turns out... I'm already so awesome!

After the impassioned speech by Director Gao of the Provincial Government, the dinner finally started.

"Brother, central?"

A long-haired boy sitting next to Lu Li raised his cup and gestured to Lu Li, "You are the only one here? Sure enough, you are the boss of the central government, awesome!"

The so-called "central" refers to the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

"One soldier, he can only follow the command baton."

Lu Li smiled, and asked this long-haired boy with an artistic temperament, "What about you? Where are you from?"

"Oh, our... country!"

The long-haired boy flicked the ponytail behind his head and replied with a smile.

The phrase "national" refers to the National Academy of Fine Arts located next to the West Lake.

"You are either from the central government or from the country. You are all big bosses!"

A girl on the opposite side took up the conversation with a smile, "We are in a small place like you, we can't compare with you big guys!"

Speaking of this, the girl smiled again: "However, tomorrow's re-election is not based on reputation, but on strength. Your central government and country, don't be compared to our small places."

"Yo? This classmate seems very confident!"

The long-haired boy flicked his ponytail again, and asked, "Sister from a small place, where are you from?"

"From Zhoujiazhuang!"

The girl grinned.

Zhoujiazhuang?

The ponytail man froze for a moment, confused.Where is Zhoujiazhuang?What do you mean?

Lu Li glanced at the girl on the opposite side and smiled, "Since Zhou Shu belongs to his family, what does it have to do with Lu Xun?"

Well, the so-called Zhoujiazhuang is the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts.You girl from the three eastern provinces are a bit naughty!

"So it's from Lu Yuan!"

The man with the ponytail smiled, "The Lu Xun Academy of Literature is awesome, and the Academy of Fine Arts...hehe!"

"Yo? Are you starting a war?"

The students from the Luyuan opposite were a little eager to fight.

"I pass by, I eat melons, you can do whatever you want!"

Lu Li quickly stated his position.I eat melons to watch the show, you play slowly.

The not-so-harmonious dinner finally came to an end when the students of the National Academy of Fine Arts and the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts looked at each other coldly.

On the morning of the second day, the candidates from various colleges and universities across the country gathered in the Xichuan Art Center.

First, the group draws lots to determine the order of participation.Then, according to the order of participation, go to the review room one by one, show the works to the provincial government leaders and reviewers, and explain the design ideas.

Lu Li's lottery was "6" again.

666 ah!This already indicates that I will win!

A smile floated on the corner of Lu Li's mouth.

Lu Academy's works came in third, and the National Academy of Fine Arts' came in tenth behind Lu Li.Lu Li didn't pay attention to other schools either.

The review time for each participating work is only 10 minutes. It is necessary to demonstrate the characteristics and highlights of the work, and to answer the questions of the judges, which is also a test of one's ability.

For the other participating teams, the work tasks are not completed by one person, but the commentary can only be done by one person. Even if they are prepared, there must be some places that cannot be explained thoroughly.

Like Lu Li, he handles everything by himself, and he does everything by himself, so he can speak with confidence and ease.

Teams go in and teams come out.

Some were elated, some were downcast, and it seemed that comments were given on the spot in the review room.

Not long after, it was Lu Li's turn to play.

The review room is a large conference room, with a large electronic screen hanging on the wall, which is still touch-operated.
