In a hotel suite.

While the waiter came to deliver the food, Suri took the initiative to mention the issue of paint on the carpet.

The waiter couldn't make the decision and told him to ask his boss.

The manager of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel came over quickly after hearing the news. After checking the stain on the carpet, he said in a surprised tone:

"It's just a carpet. We don't need any compensation. As long as you allow us to keep it as it is. A big man with such a distinguished status like you personally painted here. Now there is one more legend about our hotel. piece, I’m going to cover it with tempered glass.”

You deserve to be in the position of manager, and your words are very comfortable to listen to.

Su Rui smiled, stretched out her hand to signal him to wait, personally brought some tickets to the art exhibition, and told him:

"My solo exhibition is arranged in the Museum of Modern Art. This is just my compensation."

"Thank you very much. Many people have been talking about your art exhibition recently. It is said that it is difficult to buy these tickets. The New York Times also published a relevant article."

In the past two years, any interesting incident related to Suri always attracts everyone's attention.

Not to mention that with the popularity of "Suri Show", countless people have experienced his "painting talent", and those oil paintings have long become Internet celebrities.

Last week.

Tickets were sold publicly through Facebook's ticketing platform. In just a few minutes, tickets for the three-week New York art exhibition were sold out.

The exhibition will last until after the New Year holiday and has successfully sold 420,000 tickets, priced at US$25 each, and is expected to make a profit of about US$10 million.

I have earned so much just from the New York art exhibition, and I will go to other cities for exhibitions in the future. When more people know about these works, the oil paintings themselves will become very valuable.

The value of an artwork is directly proportional to its popularity.

really.

It is always easier for people who are not short of money to make money.

On second-hand trading platforms such as eBay, the prices of these tickets have increased in value, especially during the holidays. Tickets have become quite popular and will be bought soon after they are listed.

After the hotel manager left, Hoshino Yuko came out of the room. She heard the previous conversation and said speechlessly:

"Those crappy paintings of yours are actually more popular than the works of many famous painters. What's wrong with the world?"

Su Rui shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly:

"I don't know. It's just the star effect. Just like a giraffe without stripes suddenly appears among a group of ordinary giraffes, it always attracts more attention."

“In the modern art circle, I seem to be that giraffe. People can buy happiness with money, and that’s enough. Didn’t the Little Yellow Duck Floating Competition also attract tens of thousands of people to sign up, and many people can’t even get the qualifications to participate? "

Hoshino Yuko is also a celebrity. She just made a joke without making a fuss. She said again:

"It is indeed easier for celebrities to succeed when doing business, such as our YOYO brand and Schwarzenegger's Schwarzenegger-invested restaurant. There are always so many people. Fortunately, I can use my face to enter."

Hear the words.

Suri remembered an old incident and said:

"That's nothing. I remember that in the early 1990s, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Bruce Willis and other superstars jointly established a Planet Hollywood restaurant. It opened up to 19 branches and 32 chain stores, and its market value soared to 30 It was about 100 million US dollars, and then it went bankrupt and closed down, so the bubble cannot last long.”

Hoshino Yuko asked: "Are your oil paintings also considered bubbles?"

"It's two different things. They have too many shareholders and their own reputation has seriously declined, so the restaurant business is unsustainable. Even if I quit the entertainment industry, I will still be one of the few super rich people and have the opportunity to become a legend in modern history. .”

Su Rui walked up to her, stretched out her hand, and added:

“After I create a small batch of oil paintings and finish this global tour, I will publicly announce that I will no longer paint in the future, and I will only put a few paintings on the market. I will keep the rest for my own collection and donate them to famous museums. A few pieces. Due to their scarcity, they may be able to stabilize their prices and gradually increase in value as they are traded on the market.”

Picasso is so famous partly because his works were hung in the Louvre in France while he was still alive.

It is a pity that Picasso left tens of thousands of works in his lifetime. The number is so staggering that most of them are worthless.

Su Rui, who had never thought about developing in this industry for a long time and just wanted to have fun, certainly would not learn from other painters. In his opinion, instead of continuing to create, it would be easier to break out as it would be better to leave only some "high-quality products" Fame.

Tired for a moment.

Suri suddenly became slightly interested in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel beneath her feet. To satisfy her curiosity, she went online to check its value.

The latest relevant article was last year.

There is news in the market that Hilton Hotel Group is selling this hotel for US$2.2 billion, but Hilton Hotel Group has not publicly confirmed it and has not successfully sold it.

It’s the same reason as not investing in Lot 3 of the New Harbourfront in Hong Kong City Central.

Such a large amount of money is enough to do many things. From the perspective of return on investment, it will only cause him "heavy losses" and there is no need to make a move in the short term.

However.

Another piece of news related to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel successfully aroused Suri's keen interest.

According to a news article, the Waldorf Astoria hotel brand has reached a cooperation with two domestic companies in Shanghai and will soon be responsible for the management of a new hotel.

These are not the key points. The key point is that the location of the hotel is amazing. It is right next to the Bund in Shanghai. The specific address is "No. 2 on the Bund".

It consists of two buildings, one is the "Shanghai Club" club building built in 1910, and the other is the newly built Waldorf Astoria Hotel building, with a total of 260 five-star rooms, including a presidential suite.

exactly.

Su Ruizheng was very interested in building a holiday estate when he returned to China. He had just mentioned it to Hoshino Yuko before, saying that he would go back to the mainland during the Christmas vacation to inspect the site.

After checking the information about "Waldorf Astoria Hotel on the Bund" on the Internet, he had the idea of ​​​​taking action.

After being rich for so many years, things that Suri wants to buy are very rare.

There is nothing to hesitate about.

Netflix Entertainment is about to go public tomorrow, and its wealth is not lacking.

Suri immediately called Secretary Amanda and asked her to help find information about this new hotel that was under construction but not officially open yet, and contacted the investors to ask them to get their money and leave their hotel as soon as possible.

It's not so much an investment, but more like fulfilling a wish from a previous life.

In his previous life, he had strolled on the Bund, and thought about how wonderful it would be to have a building of his own and enjoy life by collecting rent every day.

By now.

On the other side of the Huangpu River, Tomson's first-class flat-floor apartment is a ceiling for ordinary people. For Suri, a luxury hotel located in the core area of ​​the Bund meets his needs.

It doesn't matter whether you earn more or less. After buying it, it can make him feel good. That's enough. (End of Chapter)
