Chapter 367: Chapter 369: Three Billion
Zhu Huasheng raised the price again, “Two billion and two hundred million!”
“Two billion and five hundred million!”
Jiang Shengjie’s increase was sowhat terrifying, also revealing his substantial financial power from another angle.
Zhu Huasheng glanced at Jiang Shengjie and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect Mr. Jiang to be in Jianghai City too. It’s not that I don’t respect you, Mr. Jiang, I truly love this painting.”
“Three billion.”
Zhu Huasheng called out his highest bid, ready to accept it if Jiang Shengjie went higher.
In an auction, it’s about financial power, about your idle funds. It’s also about your valuation and passion for the item up for auction.
If two people really love sothing, then whoever offers more money takes it ho; psychological warfare is useless at that point.
The psychological warfare of an auction is based on having equal financial resources,
Jiang Shengjie hesitated for a mont, then spoke, “Three billion and ten million.”
Zhu Huasheng, “Congratulations, Mr. Jiang.”
Jiang Shengjie said indifferently, “Mr. Zhu, you’re too kind.”
Once this painting was auctioned off, the auction ended, with the painting selling for the staggering price of three billion.
If this were to get out, I’m afraid no one would believe it.
The painting was indeed worth the price. Though high, its artistic conception and craftsmanship were there for all to see.
Moreover, with Qin Hao’s reputation, if it were kept as a collection, it would certainly increase in value over the decades, even centuries.
After the auction ended and everyone had left, Qin Hao and Fan Ruobing ca out from the room.
Wang Shudan said with a smile, “Congratulations, Xiao Hao, three billion. This has already broken the dostic record for calligraphy and painting auctions.”
Qin Hao replied, “Indeed, it’s a bit beyond my expectations.”
Wang Shudan handed a bank card to Qin Hao, “There are three billion on it, the password is six sixes, Xiao Hao, keep it safe.”
Three billion, she had indeed been tempted, but that thought was extinguished as soon as it arose.
She had toiled for over a decade, and her company’s total assets were only tens of billions. Qin Hao’s single painting was worth three billion; the gap was simply too big.
Qin Hao didn’t accept it since he had already given the painting to Fan Ruobing, “Ms. Wang, you should give it to Ruobing instead, as I’ve given the painting to her.”
“How could I feel comfortable holding onto so much money? Besides, I don’t need the money. You take it,” Fan Ruobing said, pushing the card into his hand.
To her, three billion was just a number. She had enough money to spend, having so much was useless.
Qin Hao said, “Consider it a loan from . I am indeed a bit short on money at the mont. Ms. Wang, when would be the best ti to auction my paintings?”
Wang Shudan was taken aback, “Xiao Hao, you plan to auction so of your works?”
Qin Hao nodded, “That’s right. I need money in many areas right now so I’m considering auctioning so pieces, but if I auction too many, the price would drop significantly, right?”
Wang Shudan said, “As long as it’s managed well, the price won’t drop much. Auctioning one or two paintings a month is not a big problem, just try to ensure the content of the paintings isn’t too repetitive.”
Qin Hao nodded slightly, “I’ll have to trouble Ms. Wang in the future.”
Wang Shudan replied with a laugh, “This is an opportunity many people wish for but can’t have. You’re helping , and I thank you for that.”
Nearing eleven o’clock, Qin Hao and Fan Ruobing left Fenghua Art City.
Once in the car, Qin Hao said to Fan Ruobing, “Ruobing, consider this money as a loan from . I’ll pay you back after other works have been auctioned.”
What’s given away is like water spilled.
Fan Ruobing spoke faintly, “Consider it tuition. Others can’t hire a master like you even if they offer money.”
Qin Hao could barely accept that reasoning.
Qin Hao asked while driving, “Where to? The university or ho?”
“Let’s go to the university. Do you have ti to teach painting in the afternoon?” Fan Ruobing asked.
Qin Hao: “I’ll co over around four or five in the afternoon.”
Fan Ruobing slightly nodded: “I’ll be waiting for you in the studio.”
Around eleven, Qin Hao drove Fan Ruobing to the university.
Fan Ruobing went to the studio, and Qin Hao headed to the male dormitory building, which he hadn’t visited in quite a few days.
When he walked into the dormitory, only Chen Ping was there, maintaining the official websites of Jiangshan Roasted Duck and Xinghui Wine.
In recent days, the company’s official website had seen a sudden increase in traffic, exposing many vulnerabilities and flaws.
Hearing the door open, Chen Ping turned his head and, seeing Qin Hao, his face brightened: “Big bro!”
Qin Hao: “Where are the fatty and Zhao De?”
Chen Ping replied: “They’ve moved out and stay out occasionally. Fatty even found a new girlfriend, and she is really pretty.”
Qin Hao: “The fatty has a new girlfriend?”
Chen Ping nodded: “Yes, she’s from Jianghai Normal University. We’ve been out to eat, and I think she’s pretty nice.”
Qin Hao: “Has Zhao De moved out with his girlfriend?”
Chen Ping: “Yeah, his girlfriend got pregnant a while ago and just had an abortion. They rented a place outside to take better care of her.”
…
What does this have to do with being physically fit?
Qin Hao sat beside him and said, “The company has set up a web departnt, you should know that, right?”
Chen Ping nodded: “I’m aware, and I’m also part of the web departnt now.”
Qin Hao: “Co with to the company later to et so colleagues. They may not be very skilled, but they have experience and things you can learn from. Continuous learning is the only way to improve.”
Chen Ping: “Yeah, you’re right, big bro. Shall we go now?”
He had already recovered from the blow of a failed relationship, for only the weak are defeated by hardships and setbacks.
He didn’t want to be weak; he wanted to be strong.
Qin Hao nodded: “Sure, let’s go.”
The two left the dormitory building. They encountered quite a few people on the road, but no one paid them any attention.
Qin Hao drove Chen Ping to the Dingfeng Building.
Once at the company, Qin Hao first took Chen Ping to Feng Xiangyi’s office.
Qin Hao introduced: “This is Chen Ping from the web departnt; this is Mr. Feng, who generally manages the company’s affairs.”
Chen Ping said sowhat shyly: “Mr. Feng, hello.”
Feng Xiangyi glanced at Qin Hao and smiled as she said, “Hello Chen Ping, I have looked at the website, and the design is quite good.
However, the descriptions of our product features are not specific enough, and the product images and the like need to be refined.”
Chen Ping quickly nodded, not daring to look at Feng Xiangyi: “Sure, Mr. Feng.”
In the office, Qin Man and Nie Si were also present, and seeing Chen Ping so timid, they curiously sized him up.
Seeing Chen Ping like this, Qin Hao said: “Chen Ping, co with to see the web departnt.”
After speaking, he led him out of Feng Xiangyi’s office and into the company’s web departnt.
There were currently five people in the web departnt. Their skills weren’t very high, but they could maintain a website without any issues.
Qin Hao said to Chen Ping: “If you have no classes at school, co to the company. It will be good for your future interactions with people.”
Chen Ping nodded: “Okay, big bro.”
Qin Hao: “Take this ti to learn from others’ strengths. There will be more important tasks waiting for you in the future.”
