Chapter 1849: Throwing Money at Yuan Zhou
There is no doubt about Alex’s professionalism. Let’s take another example and everyone knows his professionalism. As the first wave of angel investment, the naughty kid invested in Alex’s geological guidance company.
I believe many people are wondering, does the naughty kid have so much money? Don't doubt Jiang Changxi's investment in the naughty kid. Jiang Changxi gave it real money. In addition, the angel investment in Alex this time was also brokered by Queen Jiang. After all, the naughty kid is still underage.
There is a big difference between people who can make money and those who can't. Those who can make money have shown their signs since childhood.
The hotel and accommodation were all arranged just right, and even the grumpy Moli was very satisfied.
"Alex, when is the appropriate time for us to visit Yuan, please arrange it." Luka said immediately after everyone settled down.
Although there is a jet lag, Luka feels that they are all young people, full of energy, and can get down to business first.
"We can go there now, just in time to finish things early, and I can go shopping in China. Chengdu is a city of gastronomy recognized by UNESCO." Mo Li answered.
"Actually, I forgot to ask about this yesterday. Gentlemen, did you tell Boss Yuan about this visit in advance?" Alex asked.
Mo Li and others shook their heads. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but it was really difficult to contact Yuan Zhou in the chef circle.
Alex understood in his heart, and he divided the foreigners who came to see Boss Yuan into two waves, those with appointments and those without appointments.
"Everyone is like this. The opening hours of Chef God's shop are very regular. Is your trip mainly to taste the delicious food or to visit Boss Yuan?" Alex asked.
“Visit Boss Yuan and taste the delicious food.”
Alma and Morley answered in unison, with perfect understanding.
"Ahem, we mainly want to visit Yuan to talk about some things." Luca finally brought the subject back and gave Alma and Morley a roll of his eyes at the unreliable couple.
Among the four people in this group, Alma and Moli belong to the auction house, and Luca and Angelo belong to collectors. Their interests do not conflict. Even if Yuanzhou only agrees to one sculpture, then competition will be enough, so several People are still very harmonious.
"It's one o'clock in the afternoon, and the lunch time is not over yet, but we will definitely not be able to eat now, but we can just talk to Boss Yuan about the matter. A little later, we can pick up the number for dinner. Gentlemen, what do you think of my arrangement? ?" Alex raised his hand to look at his watch and estimated his itinerary.
"Let's do it this way, let's clean up and go over." Luka looked at the other three people and replied directly.
The so-called tidying up by the four of Luca was to go back to the room and change clothes again, and then took a box in their hands.
When Alex saw it, he thought it should be a gift for Boss Yuan. He was already used to this kind of operation.
However, as far as Alex knew, Boss Yuan did not accept gifts. Although he knew it, he did not say anything. Some things are interesting only after experiencing them. Alex thought so.
The four of them, Luca, all changed into crisp suits with various coats on top, showing a more serious look.
Molly and Alma looked at each other. Although they still looked down on each other, they rarely taunted them.
Seeing that everyone had packed up, Alex said, "Let's set off now. We'll almost finish lunch there. The time should be just right. Let's go."
With that said, Alex led the group of people on foot toward Taoxi Road.
This is not because Alex is unprofessional and does not prepare travel tools, but the hotel he led the people to stay in is the hotel built by Wu Yungui near Taoxi Road. In addition, since the personal cooking exhibition, more and more people come from abroad. After rushing to Chengdu to visit or dine at the God of Cooking store, Alex had already found a shortcut.
It is a small road and cannot be used for driving, but the straight line distance is very close. You can reach the store in ten minutes' walk.
As Alex estimated,
When they arrived at Taoxi Road, it was just when Yuan Zhou had finished sending off the last batch of diners.
"Hello, Boss Yuan, these guests are here to see you." Alex saw Yuan Zhou standing at the door and realized that he was free now, so he immediately took a few steps forward and said.
"Is something wrong?"
Yuan Zhou paused and looked at the four white people in front of him. None of them looked familiar. They didn't look like chefs. Yuan Zhou was definitely not here to communicate.
"Hello Yuan, I'm Luka." Luka took a step forward and said politely.
"Hello, I'm Yuan Zhou." Yuan Zhou said very calmly after listening to Luka's awkward Chinese.
"Yuan, your previous carvings are really outstanding. A sculptor like you should not be buried. We can continue to cooperate. In the future, your carvings can be handed over to our Christie Auction House. By then, fame and fortune will be the easiest." , you have to believe in your talent in carving." Morley also got involved.
He didn't speak Chinese, so he started chattering loudly.
It's Italian.
Yuan Zhou can now understand English and a little bit of French, but Italian is beyond the scope.
Although he didn't understand a word, Yuan Zhou still stood there calmly and looked at Alex.
Seeing Yuan Zhou standing there without responding, Mo Li looked at Alex anxiously, thinking that he was really annoyed by the language barrier. He should have learned some Chinese.
"Yuan, I think you can try to cooperate with our Daweide Auction House. We are also an auction house with a long history and have undertaken the auction of many works of art. Your sculptures have completely achieved extremely high artistic value, so auction with us. Cooperation is the best choice." Without waiting for Alex to translate, Alma immediately started to promote herself.
When you have quick hands and slow hands, it is not a gentlemanly situation. You must first lay out your own conditions.
Alma also looked at Alex. He had the same feeling as Morley. The language barrier was a huge delay in making money.
Only then did Alex fully understand the purpose of the four people. He didn't expect that they were here to buy the sculptures. It was right when he thought about it. They were auctioned for hundreds of millions!
"I remember that Boss Yuan used to have the habit of throwing away failed sculptures, and then many children picked them up to play with... I think I need to compete with the children for toys." Alex thought to himself.
"Boss Yuan is like this. These two are Italian collectors, and these two are from Davide and Christie's auction houses. They all want your carvings, Boss Yuan, and I hope you can sell some carvings to them. " Alex said matter-of-factly.
Immediately, Luca also asked Alex to translate. As a collector, he liked Yuan Zhou's works very much and hoped to purchase them directly.
This is also the purpose of Luca and Angelo. There is no third party to make the difference and they buy directly from the source.
"No, tell them that my carvings are not for sale at the moment." Yuan Zhou shook his head and refused.
Except for India, shaking the head means rejection. This is universally accepted all over the world. Anyone who is not stupid can understand it without Alex's translation.
Angelo, who had been silent all this time, was a gringo who made decisions before taking action. He first asked Luca and others to test the waters and see the situation.
Angelo probably knew why Yuan Zhou refused, and he was confident of convincing Yuan Zhou.
In this world, no one cares about having too much money, right?
