Chapter 1092 Goodbye Pilot
For Lana's matter, Christina will be in charge of contacting Melissa, and then invite some celebrities to visit. In this case, Lana's style will be raised directly, and it will be easy to sell at a better price. Of course, the premise is that Na's paintings must be of sufficient standard. ++++,
Anyway, Zhen Fan is not good at this, and after Christina called Melissa, Melissa immediately became popular and asked the appraiser to go to the hotel to evaluate Lana's painting. The conclusion reached is that it is entirely possible for her paintings to be listed at a minimum price of 50,000 US dollars, and the highest price is 500,000 US dollars.
Zhen Fan got the news when he was preparing for Jolie Martinez's charity performance. He was sitting in the audience under the stage, and when he didn't know what to think, the phone call came.
"500,000 U.S. dollars? So high?" Zhen Fan couldn't help being stunned. He thought it would be good to sell for 50,000 or 100,000 U.S. dollars, but he really didn't expect it to be so high. It seems that Lana is really talented. After Melissa's call, Lana also called Zhen Fan.
"Thank you, really, thank you, I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart, I..." Her voice was a little choked up, when the appraiser gave fifty percent to her oil painting "The Girl in Autumn". When the price tag reached 10,000 US dollars, she was already in tears. This is one of her best paintings, based on Tia.
In the autumn sunshine, Tia was holding a plate, and the sunlight fell on her face through the glass window, making the corners of her eyes narrow, but the faint bright white and apple red reflection on her face made the girl feel Like the most beautiful plant in autumn... like wheat, the grains are full. But with the wind, she is full of emotions in life, which is a kind of satisfaction and expectation. Hope and hesitation, stubbornness and worry are like a contradictory aggregate.
This is the painting that Lana touched her the most. Five hundred thousand seems to be just a number, but it is also a number symbol for Lana to prove her worth, so she immediately burst into tears.
"If you want to thank me, the painting has sold for money, the first thing is to pay me back!" Zhen Fan replied with a look of shame, "Do a good job of your painting exhibition, valuation is one thing, but... can you Selling is another matter, but... if you think this painting is good, then we might as well start the auction with a reserve price of $300,000 and see how much we can get at the end of the auction?"
Is this... doable? "Tia became a little worried. If no one even asked for $300,000, wouldn't it shatter the vanity of $500,000? So when she was still a little hesitant, she heard Zhen Fan continue talking.
"Listen, Lana, if you're not confident, your painting is worth it. Miracles will never happen again, I can only tell you this, the decision is in your hands, not mine. OK Is it?" Zhen Fan had to tell her like this, she had to decide this matter by herself.
"I... I'll think about it.
"Lana still hesitated.
"Just tell Melissa when you've made up your mind, she will help you unfold the painting. Even the auction! If you concentrate on painting yourself, so be it!" Zhen Fan hung up the phone after speaking.
The phone just hung up. Christina walked up to Zhen Fan's side and said to him, "You have to leave now. Christine and Zoe came here and they brought the dresses you need. At 3:30 in the afternoon, at the city hall In the square in front of you, you will attend the awarding ceremony of the title of honorary citizen."
"Okay, let me talk to Qiao Li first." Zhen Fan said, and walked towards Qiao Li.
Seeing Zhen Fan approaching, Qiao Li smiled and said, "I know you're going to attend an honorary citizen award ceremony later, but fortunately your performance time has been arranged, and it will be in the middle, maybe earlier, and also Maybe you can postpone it, you can be more flexible, by the way...my boss will come over tonight, do you want to meet together?"
"Thomas Gustin?" Zhen Fan looked at Qiao Li and smiled, "I've heard of him, he is very famous, just like David Copperfield, follow him well, there will be Opportunity. But not tonight, anyway, tomorrow is the official performance time, so... I can meet him tomorrow, just during the day, and by the way, I have to rehearse again."
"Of course, as you wish!" Jolie Martinez bent over to Zhen Fan, making a classic polite gesture.
Zhen Fan smiled, and then followed Christina to leave, outside the performance venue, listening to a commercial vehicle, which was very new, when Zhen Fan got in the car, it felt very spacious inside, a bit like the first-class cabin of an airplane, There is also a small refrigerator with chilled h?c?d in it. When Christine and Zoe, who were sitting opposite each other, saw Zhen Fan getting into the car, they both raised their wine glasses and signaled to Zhen Fan: "How do you feel?"
"We bought this?" Zhen Fan looked around and nodded with satisfaction, "It's very good, I like it. This is how to enjoy life, isn't it? Give me a drink!"
After getting into the car, Christina handed Zhen Fan a glass of chilled wine. Zhen Fan took a sip and nodded comfortably: "This is the life of the rich." Christine's disdain.
"You are a typical nouveau riche face!" Christine snorted, "When you get to the square later, you have to be more elegant, well-known media and reporters from all over Los Angeles and the United States are here. And it's still on TV Live broadcast, you better be a gentleman, don't let yourself become a vulgar farmer."
"Don't worry, I won't mess it up!" Zhen Fan smiled, this kind of scene was just a trivial matter to him, he was just a little used to doing whatever he wanted, and when he wanted to be serious, he would still be very graceful.
The car arrived near the square, and soon drove into a parking lot, and then the four of them went to a nearby hotel together. It was more than an hour before 3:30, Zhen Fan changed clothes in the hotel, and with the help of three women, he looked brand new.
"I thought you were... Brosnan." Christine looked at Zhen Fan with a smile. Every time Zhen Fan wore formal clothes, people never got tired of it. It was not how handsome, but the elegant temperament. That natural affinity makes people involuntarily want to get close to him.
"No, I'm not Brosnan, I'm Bruce Zhen!" Zhen Fan laughed, Bruce Zhen was originally his alias, and now he said it, which made Christine laugh. It's really funny to think of the days when he used this alias outside alone.
Time passed quickly, and after a while, Melissa's phone rang. It was the mayor's assistant who called and asked Zhen Fan to go to the square in front of the city hall. So the four of them left the hotel and walked towards the City Hall Square. It was only a few minutes away, and it could be seen that some people were arriving one after another.
Some of them are people familiar to Zhen Fan, such as Milk, Emil Bana, Forrest Hurt, Kane Stone, and some congressmen, and some are doctors, such as Professor De of the Los Angeles School of Medicine. Professor Rick Jenner and Latif Varley, director of the Los Angeles Public Hospital.
Zhen Fan shook hands with them one by one and said hello. Especially that Professor Derek Jenner, who is very enthusiastic about Zhen Fan, and even claims to be a student of Zhen Fan, because he has personally practiced in Zhen Fan's clinic and has a very good evaluation of Zhen Fan's clinic Gao is also one of the people who actively promoted the legislation of TCM in California.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhen, I feel that during the time I practiced in the clinic, I gained a lot... The traditional Chinese medicine hospital must be established, and we can have a very friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation..." Derek ?Professor Jenner can't wait to start cooperation negotiations with Zhen Fan now.
"It's a great honor for you to go to my clinic for an internship." Zhen Fan actually admired this guy very much. Such a person of status, regardless of his status, mixed with ordinary nurses and doctors in Zhen Fan's clinic for a period of time, working tirelessly. Learn from the successful things in Chinese medicine.
"It should be my honor!" Derek Jenner said hastily, "Then our cooperation... When can you spare some time? We can talk about it in detail!"
"I have to ask my fiancée!" Zhen Fan pointed to Christine, who was gently playing with his hand, and smiled, "Now she is in charge of this, so... I believe we will There is a very comprehensive and beneficial cooperation."
"Nice to meet you, I heard your history." Christine refers to his history of practice in the clinic, "We can make an appointment, but we also want to make the independent Chinese medicine hospital legal in Los Angeles as soon as possible. Only if it exists.” Christine is saying that California’s laws have not yet enacted legislation on hospitals independent of traditional Chinese medicine, so they cannot exist legally.
"There will be a chance. I have united with the famous professors and scholars of our school and written letters to those high-ranking politicians. I think... we will succeed, and it will not be far away!" Derry Ke Jenner honestly and bluntly said "we" to Zhen Fan, and consciously classified himself as Zhen Fan's front.
When Zhen Fan was about to say something, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure in front of him, so he hurriedly said to Derek Jenner, "I'm sorry, you chat with Kristen first, I have something to delay. "
As he spoke, he squeezed over there, and then yelled loudly at the figure whose back was facing him: "Hey, hey, Danny, Danny Bischle, it's me, Fan Zhen !” (to be continued..)u
