Chapter 1506 Lana's Gallery
Now the manor is basically nearing completion, and Zhen Fan is very satisfied with the architectural style of the current manor, which is a combination of Chinese and Western, and unique. Moreover, several key geomantic directions ordered by Zhen Fan were planted with big trees according to Zhen Fan's intention. This was proposed by Zhen Fan at the beginning of the design. This point cannot be changed, and Zhen Fan emphasized it emphatically. So Zhen Fan is very satisfied. This Feng Shui layout is more atmospheric than the villa he lives in now. It can also store the aura of heaven and earth.
I can't see anything now, as soon as all the work is completed and when we move in, Zhen Fan activates the Feng Shui array, and the effect will appear. In general, Zhen Fan is very satisfied with the acceptance. To be honest, this manor is like a garden-style manor, with trees and forests.
Zhen Fan and Ci Liao said goodbye, repeatedly expressing their satisfaction with his achievements. This also made Cilio show a complacent look again. What makes him the happiest is the compliments from customers. In terms of their architectural design, no matter what award you win, the customer's evaluation is the final evaluation, so this is what they are most proud of.
After returning from the manor, Zhen Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Going home by car, Olivia smiled and said, "Boss, when will the air ticket to France be booked? The negotiations over Bordeaux have basically been finalized. After returning home later, I will send Mei Li I will show you the faxes of the documents sent by Sha. If you agree, or if there are no major changes, we should leave for France. You must attend this ceremony of signing the agreement in person, whether it is for Whether the newly established joint venture company can quickly open up sales, or for the benefit of our largest consumer market in Europe, we must go there. Who will have trouble with money? You have to choose a date, I looked at the time, it is four days old Then we can go."
Zhen Fan sighed and nodded: "The richer I am, the busier I become. I really miss the days in Temecula. I go to and from get off work every day, and then I spend my time leisurely..."
"You're showing off." Olivia joked with a smile. "I was like this when I opened a financial company in New York. I was busy all day. I thought I was the busiest person in the world. But when I saw that my subordinates were working harder than me, I felt that I had nothing to do with myself. What are you qualified to complain about. Who is not busy? At least you can still make a lot of money."
"Okay, you're right!" Zhen Fan nodded, "Go the day after tomorrow, at least I can rest for four days, I was wondering if you would go fishing and let yourself face the sea, and let you cultivate yourself for a few days before talking about it. Invited over by that bastard Beetle. And Gary... miss fishing with them..."
"I'm afraid you don't have the time." Olivia interrupted Zhen Fan's idea without hesitation, "Tomorrow you have to make the initial decision. Have you already thought about the candidate? This is the first thing, and there are three more." In a few days, you're going to Mendocino to attend that Olivia's woman's family dinner... and then we'll fly back to France."
"What candidate? What candidate do you think I have thought about?" Zhen Fan said to Olivia in surprise,
"I think you may have completely forgotten...well,
I knew it was going to be like this, it was like this... a lot of markets right now... including supermarkets all over the country, they want to buy beef and lamb from us, and the size of our current ranch has limited that supply. So now it is in short supply. And...the current production mode of grazing sheep is no longer suitable for this supply and demand relationship, we need to expand production, and Will Pfeiffer is no longer suitable for the upcoming production mode. He's just an old-fashioned rancher, the traditional kind. "
When Zhen Fan heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "No, no, no, we need that so-called modern production model, not at all. What I value about Will Pfeiffer is his insistence on traditional pastoralism. This is also a major guarantee to ensure the quality of our beef. What I want is pure natural beef and mutton, not the kind of beef that is artificially fed with hormone feed, which will make our reputation bankrupt."
"This is Melissa's suggestion. Of course, it is understandable for their team to make such a decision. More than 80% of the beef sold in the market is fed with synthetic feed. And the growth rate is far faster than that of your farm. The current feeding mode. But...my personal opinion is that I agree with your decision." Olivia nodded to Zhen Fan. "At the very least... I can eat safe beef without worrying about the three-legged chicken thighs in KFC."
"Haha...you are so humorous. You wrote back to her, saying that this proposal is temporarily invalid, and the matter of the ranch will continue according to the current model. I would rather have a little less profit and maintain a good reputation, and...I think we You can also eat safe beef, right?" Zhen Fan nodded, and then said, "Forget it, let me call her myself."
Olivia nodded and gave Zhen Fan a thumbs up. Obviously, she agrees with this decision. Then she flipped through her folder, and Zhen Fan glanced at it and said, "Can you put these things down? Well, if I didn't say it, I really want to say... let you put it down and find an assistant , I’m asking for trouble, if I pretend to be stupid and don’t know anything, that’s great. I can do nothing all day.”
"Okay, you fire me, I'm only working anyway, but...whether you play dumb or not, this matter...I think you have to make a decision, and that's your gallery. It's already a little famous Yes, you have a good vision. That girl is very talented. Now she usually studies at the Art Institute of Chicago and runs her own gallery. Generally speaking, she is still profitable. Now she can basically be self-sufficient But she wants to see you, and will hand over the work of the gallery to you." Olivia shook her head and smiled at Zhen Fan, "You can provoke little girls everywhere."
"My gallery?" Zhen Fan was stunned for a moment, and then said to Olivia, "Oh, I lifted it up, it's Lana, I remember, the girl in the small town of Chula Vista. Yes Yes, I know her, very nice girl. What's the matter with her? What gallery? Has she opened a gallery?" Zhen Fan nodded to Olivia as if suddenly realizing.
"No, she didn't open the gallery, but you opened it. You opened the gallery and handed it over to her." Olivia explained patiently. After such a long time, Zhen Fan had long forgotten this. The thing, "You brought her from the small town of Chulavitas and asked her to hold a painting exhibition, within a period of one month, the little girl actually sold ten paintings, and the average price of each painting was 20,000 U.S. dollars This is a very good price, so Melissa saw her potential, so the company came forward and recommended her to go to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a branch in California, and let her run a gallery while studying. Anyway, for It is useless for the company to hold art exhibitions, so it is specially made into a gallery. It mainly exhibits some painters' works, or rents them out for exhibitions. Anyway, by the way, a small part of Lana's paintings are also exhibited. Every time I can She sold one or two pairs, and now she is quite famous in Los Angeles, and it is estimated that she will become even more famous in the future..."
Listening to Olivia's introduction of this matter, Zhen Fan naturally remembered what happened in the small town of Chulavitas, and couldn't help but feel apologetic. After he brought Lana to Los Angeles, he never asked about it again. She died, which really made me feel a little ashamed, but fortunately, this girl is upright, talented, and hardworking enough, so she can make a name for herself.
Zhen Fan thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Although it's fine to hand over the work to Melissa's people, I think I'd better go there in person. I want to meet this girl." Such a girl with perseverance and ambition , Zhen Fan said that he would go to see him, "You can contact me, tomorrow, we will go together tomorrow... By the way, Monip, I will drive by myself tomorrow. It is enough for me alone, you still have You, don't accompany me...By the way, where is the address of the gallery?"
Olivia was a little speechless, she patted her forehead silently, and then took a breath, then told Zhen Fan the address, and said, "I think that girl is a good girl, don't provoke her. Do you understand?"
Zhen Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Who do you think I am?"
The next day, Zhen Fan drove to the gallery early. Made an appointment with Lana. When we got to the place, it was indeed not a bustling area, but it was the best place to open a gallery. Clean, no noisy place, even few cars. Zhen Fan parked the car and walked towards the door of the gallery.
Lana just stood there looking at Zhen Fan, her style was quite different from before. If Zhen Fan was given a timid and stubborn look before, now it is a kind of grandeur and calmness. The hairstyle has also changed, becoming more intellectual, with an artistic temperament. Perhaps this is metamorphosis.
However, beside Lana, there is still a girl standing, she is a little fat, but she can be recognized at a glance, the change is not big. This girl was the same Tia who worked as a prostitute in the small town of Chulavitas. She stood there in some embarrassment now. Now that she knows that Zhen Fan is a super rich man, she is even a little nervous, and since she hasn't seen each other for a long time, she lacks that aggressive style.
"Hello, Mr. Zhen!" Lana smiled at Zhen Fan, and then reached out to shake Zhen Fan's hand. Then he pointed to Tia beside him and said, "You must still know her, my best friend, my best sister, Tia."
Zhen Fan stretched out his hand, shook hands with Tiya and said with a smile: "Why do I feel that you are a little nervous? Because my identity is different now? I still like that girl who yelled at me. By the way, just In this way, just smile, it's natural, I'm still the same as before, I haven't changed much... Come in, let's go in and talk."
The three walked in. Lana completely looked like a hostess, and took Zhen Fan to visit the entire gallery. There are many paintings in the gallery. But not many people visit. There were three or five people here and there, but it was very quiet, no one was talking here. No one is here to take pictures or anything. It's exactly that kind of artistic tranquil atmosphere.
