Chapter 1246 Auction
"Meteor, what do you think about this matter now?"
Liu Xing looked at Watanabe Meteor and asked seriously: "I can be 100% sure that your father knows that you have joined the martial family faction with the Yellow Clothes Sect, so he must be joining the public faction with the Kamakura family now on purpose. For that... now I want to know your attitude on this matter."
Watanabe Meteor sighed, and then said: "Yes, my father must know that I have joined the martial family faction, and from the current situation, he should actively choose to cooperate with the Kamakura family, and at the same time the Kamakura family I must also know about my relationship with your Sawada family now... So my mind is very confused now, and I don't know how to understand this matter for a while, so if I can, I want to wait until tomorrow morning to give Liu A satisfactory answer from you."
Looking at the depressed and dazed Watanabe Meteor, Liu Xing could only nod to agree with his idea. After all, Watanabe Meteor was another character card of his own, so Liu Xing believed that Watanabe Meteor could not betray his party. .
So, Liu Xing watched Watanabe Meteor and Koukawa Xiaofu leave first.
At this time, there was already a lot of gunfire in the training ground. The two sides were separated by a distance of 20 to 30 meters. Naturally, there was no result after fighting for a long time, and the ground behind both sides had been painted with paintballs. colorful.
"Let's talk about it, if we print the colors on the ground directly on paper, and then find an artist of the abstract painting school, these paintings can earn us millions." Liu Xingren, who was looking at the screen Can't stop complaining.
"Indeed."
Alice drank the water and said with a smile: "You should have heard that the abstract painting after the Cold War was actually created by the United States, because they needed to compete with Big Brother in terms of art, or not to lose. So miserable."
Hearing Alice's mention of this topic, Liu Xing was instantly refreshed, "I've really heard of this, because the artists of Big Brother's family are endless and of very high standards, so America, the leader of Europe and the United States, wants to be an artist in the arts. If you touch Big Brother, it is like hitting a stone with an egg. After all, art needs to be accumulated continuously, so that future generations can stand on the shoulders of giants and make better works of art. Although there have been some famous artists in history, these artists are basically immigrants, and their studies are not in the United States.”
"So from the very beginning, America knew that if it were to compare itself with Big Brother's real guns in terms of art, it would definitely lose all its pants, and if it was collected from the continent of Europa as before If the artist uses it for himself, it will be inferior, not to mention that the artists who have become famous on the Europa continent cannot easily leave their homeland; therefore, there is no way to defeat the big brother in a fair and honest way, and the United States can only use some shady ones. There are means, and these means in our modern times are just two words - hype."
"Artists are ethical, but critics are not necessarily, so the United States paid a lot of money to buy some critics on the Europa continent to make them highly affirmative of some abstract works, in short, to die. Blow, as for why the United States chooses abstract art? That is because abstract art highlights three words - can't understand, because a black dot on white paper can be regarded as abstract art, on white paper The use of several colors in random dots together is considered abstract, and of course turning the dots into lines is even more abstract.”
"If it is a realistic painting, ordinary people can see whether the painting is good or bad, but if it is an abstract painting, then ordinary people can only enjoy it. At that time, the right to interpret the abstract painting rests with the author and the artist. In the hands of the critics, under the nonsense of the critics who received the money, those abstract paintings were given all kinds of high-level interpretations, and then the newspapers and TV followed up. Fan, these abstract masters stood up."
"Of course, the most important point of hype is criticism, so I heard that at the abstract art exhibition that year, the United States arranged for a lot of navy soldiers to install passers-by on the scene, so as to ensure that before each painting, as long as someone said they couldn't see it. I understand, or scolding these paintings is similar to the footprints of their dog who stepped on the mud pit and left on the carpet. Those passers-by will immediately join the battlefield, criticizing these real passers-by for not understanding art, and in order to convince passersby that they are I really don’t understand art, and other passers-by and sailors will also enter the venue at the appropriate time.”
"In this way, those abstract masters are like kings in new clothes. Although most people think that they are just doodles, but because of their reputation, many critics praise their works as masterpieces, and a large number of collectors He also stood up and asked for his works with a lot of money, and these people had to follow the crowd and think that his people and works were really good... Over time, even if a child came out and pointed out that the king's new clothes were nothing, everyone around him would think this Children are ignorant."
Looking at Liu Xing who was talking eloquently, Sonoda Shuri also said with a smile: "Yeah, I also interviewed an abstract painter before and asked him what he thinks about his works, but he told me nonsense. In the end, I also emphasized that a certain work of my own sold for a high price; so I also think that many modern so-called abstract masters, in all likelihood, were made with money... an inappropriate analogy. If a piece of ordinary paper can be sold for a sky-high price of 100 million, then most people will subconsciously think that this piece of paper is not simple, and at the same time subconsciously convince themselves that this piece of paper is indeed worth this price.”
"Juri is right. When my master was working at Miskatonic University, he used to have a good relationship with several professors in the oil painting department, because he also likes to paint oil paintings when he is free, and one day my master heard that there were A security guard suddenly turned into an abstract painter, and his paintings were fired for tens of millions, so he went to ask the professors of the oil painting department to ask about it, and the professors scoffed at it.”
Alice couldn't help but sighed: "It's like some little fresh meat now, no matter what the level is, first buy some manuscripts and sailors to brush his praise, then buy a few awards to gild the body, and then We can slowly cut the leeks, but the abstract painting masters after the Cold War are not only used to affix gold to American art, but their more important role is actually to launder money, because art is priceless.”
"Yeah, it's hard to determine the value of a work of art, just like there are a thousand Hamlets in front of a thousand readers, so a thousand bidders may give a thousand different prices for the same work of art 99.99% of people would say that the works of abstract masters were worthless if their names were masked, but some people could directly raise the auction price to 100 million.”
Liu Xing touched his chin and continued: "Auction can be said to be a very fast and efficient way of money laundering. After all, there is an old saying in China that a thousand gold is hard to buy, and I am happy, so you give a reserve price of one dollar at the auction. It is not a problem to bid 100 million for auction items, but it is easy to be suspicious. Therefore, those abstract paintings with inflated prices are very suitable to bear the responsibility of equivalents, and as long as an abstract master is hyped, then he can continue to sell. Produce works to satisfy money laundering needs.”
"If I remember correctly, every year hundreds of billions of funds in the auction market will turn from black to white, and it is difficult for outsiders to grasp the handle, because as Liu Xing you said - a thousand dollars is hard to come by. I'm happy to buy it."
As soon as Alice finished speaking, Liu Xing saw Zhang Jingxu and Ding Kun being shot at the same time on the screen, and was sentenced to be out.
"To be honest, I think we can enter the auction market if we run out of money in the future, and by the way create a new school of painting - the monster school, the content of which is ghouls, deep divers, etc., and we need to paint It's very real, and it makes people feel immersed in the scene at a glance, so that our monster pie can quickly become famous, and it will take a few years to produce several masters worth over 100 million." Liu Xing stretched out a Lazy waist said: "But then again, I heard that there seems to be a secret church that is really engaged in auction activities, allowing some auction items with private goods to flow into the market?"
After recalling for a while, Alice nodded and said, "Liu Xing, are you talking about Luomu Auction House? There is indeed a secret church behind that auction company, and there are rumors that they will sell some auction items, such as statues, bottles, etc. Artworks such as bottles and jars carry some strange things, and these things tend to have a negative impact on the holder, so Fallwood Auctions is known as a cursed auction in the eyes of ordinary people, claiming that it often undertakes Auctions for some cursed items."
"As for the truth, that is that the secret church behind the Luomu Auction House has imposed a curse on the auction items, making the holders feel afraid because of the curse, so they sold these cursed auction items back to the Luomu Auction House at a low price. In this way, Luomu Auction House can make a lot of money, but this is a trick to deceive ordinary people, and it is difficult to be elegant, so many secret churches scoff at Luomu Auction House."
As soon as Alice finished speaking, Sonoda Shuri continued: "Is Luomu Auction House? I remember that it also has a branch in the island country, and it is planning to hold an auction recently."
Hearing Sonoda Shuri say this, Liu Xing subconsciously asked back: "The island branch of the Luomu Auction House is not in Nagoya, right?"
"Uh, it seems to be true."
Looking at Liu Xing, who was full of surprise, Sonoda Shuri said with his mobile phone: "Because there are already many large auction houses in Tokyo and Osaka, Luomu Auction House had to choose to settle in Nagoya; eh? This auction is about Tomorrow!"
Liu Xing quickly took Yuantian Zhuli's mobile phone, and saw a piece of news displayed on the mobile phone. The content of the news was very simple, that is, Luomu Auction House decided to hold an auction tomorrow, and a total of hundreds of auction items will be auctioned. , and the types of these auctions cover calligraphy and paintings, precious stones and porcelain. . . As well as various legendary cursed items.
When he saw the final auction catalogue, Liu Xing felt like he was watching a ghost story.
"What is this trying to do?"
Alice frowned and said, "The secret church behind Luomu Auction House is from Italy, and it stands to reason that they should not participate in the battle of Gongwu, so why did they choose to hold an auction at this time? They What's the purpose of doing this?"
At this moment, Zhang Jingxu and Ding Kun have come to the referee area.
After learning about Luomu Auction House, Zhang Jingxu wiped his face and said, "Luomu Auction House and the secret church behind him have always had a bad reputation, because knowing their power, they feel that they are not doing their jobs properly, and they are trying to deceive them. The money was even used to curse, and it was like losing the face of the secret church, so Luomu Auction House and the secret church behind him have always been lone wolves, and have never had contact with other secret churches or big families, but Huaxia Daomen I once collected a piece of news that the secret church behind the Fallen Wood Auction House is very weak, and in fact only the leader can use curses."
"Huh? So, this Luomu auction house is the tool used by the sect master to make money? That's why he doesn't care about reputation at all, because as long as he can live a rich life, it's fine." Liu Xing was still a little bit Inexplicably, he said: "But the question is back, why does this guy come to Nagoya to go to this muddy water? He should know that Nagoya is the place where the fighting method of Gongwu is used, and he is not afraid that he will be misunderstood by a certain party at this time. , and then directly demolished?"
Zhang Jingxu frowned and said: "Then I don't know what this guy thinks. Maybe this auction has been decided long ago, so he doesn't want to lose his trust. After all, for auction houses, credit is their most important thing. Important wealth, even if it is the Fallen Wood Auction House that specializes in cheating people."
As soon as Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, Ding Kun, who had already washed the paint on his face, suddenly said: "Liu Xing, didn't you just say it? Although some so-called works of art are themselves a piece of waste paper, the things behind them are still very important. Valuable, although those things may be invisible."
As soon as Ding Kun said this, a light flashed in Liu Xing's mind, "I understand! Many auction items of Luomu Auction House are from overseas, so Luomu Auction House can take this opportunity to bring some items to the auction house. Come from the island country, and then use the name of the auction to sell these things to designated guests!"
"Looks like we need to inform Shimadzu Nakano about this."
