It took eight years to debut

There are many benefits.

Wang Qian didn't have any idea about Berkeley's plan. He didn't hate it or like it. The other party was a businessman, and it was instinct for a businessman to seek profit. He said casually, "Let me think about it."

Cummings looked at Wang Qian's face, and then said with discretion: "Of course, if you don't want to, Professor Wang Qian, we can also use your name and portrait rights to promote the academy. Just hang your name in our school. At the same time, you must go to the first lecture. There will be no mandatory teaching tasks in the follow-up... This is the greatest sincerity of our college."

He also knew that using Wang Qian's name and portrait rights for publicity for only 200 million US dollars a year was almost tantamount to insulting Wang Qian, so he quickly removed this condition.

Wang Qian smiled, and still said: "Thank you Professor Cummings and Berkeley College for your recognition, but I still need to think about it. I have already agreed to Curtis's invitation. I need to seriously consider the invitations from other colleges." You should know that Curtis has been in contact with me for half a year. However, I haven't contacted any of your other colleges. I can't promise you now. This is not a simple matter. I need to think carefully... ..."

Cummings understood, and immediately said: "As long as you don't reject us, we at Berkeley will always welcome Professor Wang Qian, cheers!"

Cummings raised his wine glass.

Wang Qian also raised his glass and took a sip habitually.

There are already more than a dozen people who have come to toast with him, and he always takes a small sip. If he makes a toast every time, even if it is champagne, he won't last long.

Cummings drank the wine glass in one gulp, then smiled at Wang Qian, then nodded at Murong Yue, then turned and left.

Murong Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I can't push it away."

Wang Qian said indifferently: "It's nothing, just a few words to get rid of it."

Qin Xuerong said: "Berkeley is willing to pay for it."

Murong Yue: "Berkeley should be the richest of all music colleges and universities in North America. The four top classical music schools like Curtis, Eastman, Juilliard, and Manhattan are all losing money. They need to accept Alumni and wealthy donations and government subsidies can keep it going. However, Berkeley has a lot of profits in business operations..."

Both Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong nodded, knowing that what Murong Yue said was true.

At this time, two figures came over.

One of them was known by Wang Qian, and it was Red who was the first to ask him for an autograph in the afternoon. Next to Red was a middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure!

When the two came to Wang Qian, they were very enthusiastic.

Reid smiled and said, "Mr. Wang Qian, excuse me, this is my good friend Mr. Xiao En."

The chubby man Sean raised his glass to Wang Qian: "Professor Wang Qian, your performance shocked me, and I would like to offer you a toast."

With that said, Sean drank the wine glass in one gulp.

Wang Qian still took a sip: "Thank you!"

Sean said with admiration: "I missed your class this afternoon. It's really my pity. I watched the live broadcast for a while, and it was really exciting. However, after I heard what Reid said, I rushed over from New York immediately. I will miss your dinner."

Wang Qian still smiled: "Thank you, nice to meet you."

Xiao En said with a smile: "I am also very glad to meet you. I heard that you are a master of Chinese calligraphy in Huaxia. I like Chinese culture very much. I have several calligraphy and paintings of ancient Chinese people in my home. If I take the liberty to ask, can I ask you Would you like to buy one of your calligraphy works? I like your music very much, and I also like calligraphy very much, so I want to collect one of your works."

Red's eyes flickered, he looked at Sean, his lips moved, but he still held back his words.

He didn't expect Sean to want it so directly!

Qin Xuerong, Murong Yue, and Jiang Yu standing nearby all looked at Xiao En and Red in surprise.

Many music artists around also looked at Wang Qian, Reid and Sean with curiosity and surprise.

They all know Wang Qian's information, which shows that Wang Qian is a well-known calligrapher in China, and has made achievements and achievements in literary creation.

However, they only know a little bit, and they are not interested in it, nor do they think that Wang Qian has really made great achievements in the field of calligraphy and literature. After all, Wang Qian has such amazing strength in music art, so there is no time left. Energy to engage in calligraphy literature?

did not expect!

There is actually a rich man from New York here to ask Wang Qian for Huaxia's calligraphy works?

The chattering voices around gradually quieted down.

Everyone looked at Wang Qian, Xiao En, Red and the others again!

Malone, Terry, David, Kalman, Dawson, Hoffman, and Cummings who had just left Wang Qian's place stopped talking and looked at Wang Qian and Sean.

Some of them knew Sean!

Hoffman said in a low voice: "Mr. Sean is a billionaire in New York. He owns shares in several listed companies. He is a collector and art lover. He has listened to my concert."

After hearing Hoffman's explanation, Ma Long, Terry and others nodded, expressing their understanding.

But the more they knew about Sean's identity, the more surprised they were!

Because, with Xiao En's status and status, his vision is definitely very high, and the calligraphy works he values ​​are definitely not ordinary things.

So……

Chapter 311 A Musician Who Can't Know Literature And Calligraphy Is Not A Successful Entrepreneur!

Those who can be invited to the banquet here are all selected by the Curtis Institute.

Basically, they are well-known and successful artists, or North American local tyrants who have friendly relations with these artists, or have donations to several top music academies.

The upper circle of society is actually very small.

So, most of the people at the scene basically know each other.

Everyone knows Sean and Reid. They know that these two are local tyrants who like art, music, art, and artwork, and they are well-known art collectors in the circle.

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

just now……

Xiao En actually asked Wang Qian for calligraphy works 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 a certain thing and pays for it, then such a thing has value.Even if it is a piece of shit, as long as someone buys it for 100 million, it is worth 100 million.

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

However, here are some bids to buy it!

Well, that has value.

Whether they admit it or not, what they think, can't change this fact.

All eyes were on Wang Qian, Sean, Red and others!

Not far away, Ru Ke whispered to Liu Shengnan, "Isn't that person who wants to bid 500 million dollars to buy your Knights, called Red?"

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

Chen Xiaowen asked curiously: "Can foreigners really understand Professor Wang's writing?"

Ru Ke smiled and said: "They may not understand the beauty of Professor Wang's calligraphy, but they do understand the value of Professor Wang's calligraphy. That Red said that he owns an auction house and is a collector himself. The value has a high market sense. I think that after hundreds of years, Professor Wang's calligraphy works may all become high-value antique works of art!"

"Think about it, in our current age, who can compare with Professor Wang in terms of literature and calligraphy? Almost none! In the future, Professor Wang's literary achievements will definitely be higher, and his works will certainly have high artistic value. Maybe, hundreds of thousands of years later, Professor Wang’s works will all be national treasures. Just like the few national treasure calligraphy works we know now, when the original author was alive thousands of years ago, there is no such thing as Wang’s calligraphy. A person like the professor is unique.”

Ru Ke's words made everyone around him think.

And they are very clear about the situation!

Therefore, they were not very 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 are in Huaxia.

Liu Shengnan, Yu Jingruo, Xiao Dongmei, Ru Ke and others 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 collect them carefully and pass them on to their descendants. This is a heirloom-level treasure.

Of course, what they value is not the value of Wang Qian's works, but the certain meanings that the work is represented by Wang Qian.

Not far!

Seeing that Wang Qian didn't answer right away, Xiao En said immediately: "Mr. Wang Qian, I know you are an artist, and I also like art works very much. But at the same time, I am also a businessman. I am willing to pay a high price for your Huaxia calligraphy, Mr. Wang Qian." Works. As far as I know, your calligraphy works are of extremely high value in China, and each work is worth more than 100 million US dollars, and the highest value may reach 400 million US dollars."

"And your first calligraphy work in North America, I am willing to bid 500 million US dollars to buy, how about it? No matter what you write, I will buy it!"

Sean didn't deliberately keep a low profile, and his voice was neither high nor low, neither hurried nor slow, but it could be heard clearly by most caring people around.

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

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

Malone, Cummings, Kalman, Dawson, Denzel and many other music artists, when they heard the figure of 500 million US dollars, their minds went blank!

At a price of 500 million US dollars, even among many famous antique collections, you can buy excellent and unique collections.

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

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

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

So far, they haven't seen any living artist whose works can be sold for such a price!

At the beginning, the representative works of the 80-year-old painter sold for a high price of 300 million US dollars, which shocked the entire European and American art circles.

Top artists such as Malone and Murphy also went to the old painter's banquet to celebrate the high price of his works, breaking the record for the highest price for a work by any painter while he was still alive.

They all expressed their understanding and approval of the old painter's work which sold for 300 million US dollars.

After all, he has been in the industry for more than 60 years and has always been a well-known painter. He is now the number one 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 masterpiece soared. It was normal to sell 300 million dollars. When he really passed away, the value of that 300 million dollar work was at least It will double, even several times.

but……

You, a 30-year-old Chinese music artist, have sold 500 million dollars in calligraphy works now?

Why?

Selling now for $500 million premium!

What about when Wang Qian is seventy or eighty?

How much can you sell?

Want to sell for $5000 million?

What about when Wang Qian died?

How much do you sell?

Five hundred million dollars?

For a while!

Many European and American artists cannot accept this.

A musician whispered to Hoffman, who knew Sean, "Does Mr. Sean like a joke?"

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

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

On such an occasion, who would joke about such a thing?

Absolute silence remained at the scene.

Everyone raised their wine glasses and looked towards Wang Qian.

Waiting for Wang Qian's answer.

Let's see if Wang Qian can really sell a piece of work to Sean for 500 million US dollars.

Although they are all artists, artists also need food and money, and more money is needed to maintain a decent life for artists.

In fact, many people who don't know about Wang Qian's achievements in Chinese literature, just thinking about Wang Qian writing calligraphy works as a music artist, feel very funny, just 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?"

Sean smiled and said: "Of course, Reid and I are good friends. We both like Chinese culture. We have a lot of collections from China in our collection room! I like your chivalrous work the most, listen to me Recite it to you!"

Xiao En paused for a while, before Wang Qian could speak, and then, under the watchful eyes of Wang Qian, Qin Xuerong, Qin Xuehong, He Chaohui, Jiang Yu, and everyone else, he took a deep breath, and then said something that was only a little weird but could still be heard clearly. Chinese recited "Xia Ke Xing".

"Zhao Keman, Hu Ying, Wu Goosen, Xueming."

"The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star."

"Ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles without leaving."

"Flick off your clothes when it's over, and hide your achievements and fame..."

……

All the people in the surrounding banquet halls were stunned.

Malone, Hoffman, Kalman, Dawson and others all looked at Sean in disbelief again.

None of them could have imagined that Xiao En could actually recite a Chinese poem on the spot, and it seemed that he could recite it well!
