Chapter 1,166 The Secret to Making Money

As long as Wang Yongping left, Li Yanan lived a single life.

She was devoted to the world, mountains and rivers, and spent her days painting and reading. She never thought of finding a companion.

At this moment, being held in Yang Fei's arms, Li Yanan's heart rippled.

She tried her best to pretend to be calm, for fear that Yang Fei would find out that she was pretending to sleep.

Yang Fei put her on the bed, covered her with a thin quilt, then turned on the air conditioner, adjusted the temperature, and walked out gently.

Li Yanan opened her eyes and bit her lip, feeling a sense of shame in her heart.

what happened?

Wasn't it just that he hugged me?

Why do you feel uneasy?

While thinking wildly, Li Yanan fell asleep with heavy eyelids.

When I woke up, the room was dark.

Li Yanan touched the bedside table out of habit, but did not find her mobile phone.

She didn't know what time it was. She got up and opened the door. When she saw the luxuriously decorated living room outside, she suddenly realized that she was at Yang Fei's house.

There was a clock in the living room. She glanced at it and saw that it was already half past ten in the evening.

The TV was blaring, but there was no one in the living room.

Li Yanan walked out of the living room and saw Yang Fei sitting outside enjoying the cool air.

There were no lights on in the corridor outside, only skylight.

Yang Fei saw her and smiled: "Sister Li, you're awake."

Li Yanan smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I slept for too long."

Yang Fei said: "I originally wanted to wake you up for dinner, but seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't wake you up."

Li Yanan asked: "Where is your family?"

"They're all asleep."

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"I'm waiting for Su Tong. She went to the factory for a meeting."

"So late? Still not back?"

"It's normal to work overtime." Yang Fei smiled and pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down and enjoy the breeze. It's windy outside. It's cooler and more comfortable than turning on the air conditioner."

Li Yanan sat down, brushed her long hair that was blown by the wind, and said, "You guys who run factories are also working hard. There is no day or night, so you have to do things when they come."

Yang Fei said: "Which industry is not hard? Survival is not easy. If the work is what you like, then it is better. No matter how hard it is, you can persist. Are you hungry? The meals are all ready-made and I will bring them out to you."

Li Yanan said: "No need to trouble you, I just woke up and I'm not hungry at all."

Yang Fei said: "Don't go home tonight, stay here?"

Li Yanan looked at the vast night and said softly: "Sorry to trouble you."

There were many and big mosquitoes at the bottom of the mountain, but Yang Fei sat outside without turning on the lights, and the wind was strong, so the mosquitoes would not fly over.

The night was as cool as water, and the faint moonlight shone on the misty land.

"Yang Fei, there is something I want to ask your opinion on."

"Um?"

"A few days ago, several artists came and said they wanted to cooperate with me and settle in my art gallery. What do you think?"

"You agreed?"

"I didn't agree, but I didn't refuse either.

I said this is not my asset, it was built for me by others, and I have to seek the opinions of investors. "

Yang Fei smiled and said: "Sister Li, you are very cunning. If you can't save your face, just leave it to me."

Li Yanan smiled sweetly and said: "You were the one who invested in it. I threw away those paintings a long time ago. You picked them up and sold them for money. Of course the money is yours. I never thought of taking it for myself. However, You can invest in opening an art museum for me, which can be regarded as fulfilling my dream, and I am very grateful to you."

Yang Fei pondered: "The positioning of this art museum is yours. The name is also called Li Yanan Art Museum. If other artists are admitted, it will be complicated and violate the original intention."

Li Yanan said: "Well, besides, I'm afraid that once this opening is opened, other artists will want to move in, and it will really become a hodgepodge."

Yang Feidao: "Every artist has his own style. I don't think we can accept others to come in."

Li Yanan said: "Well, if they call again, I will refuse."

Yang Fei said: "Have you ever thought about how the art museum maintains its expenses?"

"I have also considered it." Li Yanan said, "For such a large venue, the monthly labor, water and electricity and other daily expenses are a lot of money. I can't rely entirely on your funding."

Yang Fei knew that she must have her own thoughts, so he smiled slightly and listened to her.

Li Yanan said: "I can take care of students, not too many. I only take one class, so I can subsidize the expenses."

Yang Fei said: "Leading a class is too tiring, and it will take up a lot of your creative time. It is better to hold regular exhibitions to sell works, every weekend."

Li Yanan asked: "Will anyone come to visit the exhibition?"

Yang Fei said: "This needs to be publicized. Ordinary people will not buy such an art exhibition, let alone cannot afford it. As long as it can attract potential customers, even if the number of people is small, as long as the customers have the willingness and willingness to buy. That’s fine if you have the ability.”

“This kind of crowd is harder to attract.”

"Didn't you just say that there are many artists who want to move in?"

"Didn't you tell me to reject them?"

"I never said that, it's just your own interpretation."

"..."

"Sister Li, we cannot accept them to move in, but we can allow them to participate in exhibitions. They can participate in art exhibitions every weekend. Not only them, but also well-known artists at home and abroad can participate."

"And we charge?"

"Free is a big trend, but we can take a commission. Every time a work is sold, we can take a certain percentage of the money. As for the percentage, this has to be discussed with the exhibitors. Artists of different levels can give Different treatment, national-level art masters, a piece of work can be sold for millions or tens of millions, we can take a smaller commission, but the amount is still considerable."

Yang Fei paused for a moment, then continued: "If they are unknown artists, they will have to take more commission. Because they are not famous, being able to enter the venue to participate in the exhibition is their opportunity and hope. Even if we take the big prize, there is nothing they can do. reject."

Li Yanan was surprised and smiled: "I thought you would say that famous artists should smoke more, since they have money anyway!"

Yang Fei said: "We pay extra money to everyone who is really famous to come and participate in the exhibition, because it can improve the reputation of our art museum."

Li Yanan said helplessly: "This is why it is difficult for artists to become famous."

Yang Fei said seriously: "This is the only way for everyone to grow. No one can succeed casually. And every successful person has come this way. The more artists we attract, the more people will come to visit." The more there are, another point is that these artists all have their own traffic and always have a circle of friends. When their own works are exhibited, they will definitely bring their friends to visit. The traffic will naturally increase."

Li Yanan said: "No wonder you are so good at making money, you really have a way!"

Yang Fei blinked, showed a mysterious smile, and asked: "I have a secret for making money, do you want to hear it?"

“I’ve learned how to make money?”

"sure."

"Then I want to hear it. I run an art gallery and I also need to learn how to make money. Is it difficult to learn? You know, I'm very stupid. It's too complicated for me to learn."

"It's very simple, just one sentence."
