Inherit For Three Thousand Years

What Lu Jinguang wanted was the gimmick of his work being selected into the British Museum, and one work was enough. Even if the transfer price is lower, it is worth having this gimmick.

As long as one work is selected into the British Museum, it will be enough to make Xiao Yao famous, and Lu Jinguang is confident that the remaining three paintings will be sold for at least double or even higher prices.

Jingyuan Gallery was fortunate to sign Xiao Yao, and Lu Jinguang was eager to make some achievements to let Xiao Yao see his ability. Now that Xiao Yao is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, he can only cooperate.

Following the British Museum's request for purchase, world-renowned museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Tokyo Museum of Western Art, the Vatican Museum, and the Louvre successively sent people to contact Lu Jinguang, expressing their willingness to purchase Xiao Yao's paintings.

Among the major museums, the most sincere one is the Tokyo Western Art Museum. The Tokyo Art Museum’s purchase price for “Girl Reading Book” and “Frog in the Lotus Pond” was US$8 million, and the price for “Fire” and “Thunder” was US$15 million.

Although Xiao Yao's artistic achievements are very high in these works, he is just emerging after all. It is unprecedented for a newcomer's work to be able to sell for a high price of over tens of millions of dollars.

It's a pity that Xiao Yao rejected all the purchase requests of these museums without exception.

The Bali Contemporary Artists Exhibition was originally planned to be exhibited for half a month, but because Xiao Yao’s works have attracted so much attention and attention, painters and critics from all over the world, attracted by the comments, rushed to Paris to visit the exhibition , temporarily decided to extend the time of the exhibition for one week.

With the increase in the number of visitors, Xiao Yao's works caused more and more sensations, and more and more people were attracted and rushed to Paris to visit the exhibition.

Collectors from major museums and all over the world threw olive branches to Xiao Yao one after another. They paid more and more attention to these works, and their quotations became higher and higher.

At the end of the exhibition, the quotations for "Girl Reading Book" and "Frog in the Lotus Pond" had reached 10 million US dollars, and the quotations for "Fire" and "Thunder" had reached 20 million US dollars.

At the end of the exhibition, Xiao Yao originally thought that the influence of these works would gradually weaken until they became completely useless.

But what he didn't expect was that as time passed, the sensation caused by these works would become bigger and bigger.

The first is the Bali Academy of Fine Arts, which introduced all 4 of his works into the university textbooks. Then, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Florence Academy of Fine Arts, Repin Academy of Fine Arts, California Institute of Art, Berlin University of the Arts and other world-renowned art academies , have introduced four of Xiao Yao's works into university textbooks.

There are countless analytical articles on these four works, and many experts have commented.

Although Xiao Yao has just emerged and the prices of his works have just started to rise, the artistry of these works has not been underestimated because of his youth and unknown status.

These four works of his have been unanimously appreciated by the art world, and they are highly evaluated, and are generally regarded as epoch-making masterpieces.

These few works of Xiao Yao can resonate with the hearts of the viewers, and they are indisputably soul-touching works. Such works simply subvert people's cognition, and it is inevitable that they will be sought after.

After Xiao Yao was recognized as the originator of the Dual Image School, he was also dubbed the title of "Soul Painter".

At the end of the exhibition, the four exhibited works returned to Xiao Yao's hands. At the same time, the person in charge of the art purchase department of the Louvre in Paris also followed.

It was Lu Jinguang who accompanied the group from the Louvre in Paris to Kyoto.

In the past few days, the person in charge of the Louvre in Paris has been in close contact with Lu Jinguang. Considering that the person in charge of the Louvre in Paris is really sincere, Lu Jinguang brought them to Kyoto to meet Xiao Yao.

After talking on the phone with Xiao Yao, Lu Jinguang directly led the group from the Louvre in Paris to the courtyard.

Walking in the courtyard, Abraham, the director of the Louvre in Paris, frowned slightly after learning about the spaciousness and luxury of the courtyard.

He felt that his task this time might not be so easy to complete.

Although he has not met Xiao Yao yet, he has already learned from the information that Xiao Yao is a rich man, which can be confirmed by the vast and luxurious courtyard.

If Xiao Yao were a painter living in poverty, he would definitely hold onto the olive branch offered by the Louvre. As long as the requirements of the Louvre in Paris are not too excessive, it should be an easy task to win the other party's work.

However, Xiao Yao is a rich man, so this is difficult.

For a rich man who is rich and not short of money, it must be very difficult to impress him.

After introducing each other's identities in the living room, Abraham said straight to the point: "Mr. Xiao, the Louvre in Paris is very optimistic about your works, and we hope to introduce your works into our exhibitions in the Louvre in Paris and keep them permanently. I have come here with sincerity and hope to get your consent and support."

"It is a great honor for Mr. Abraham and the importance of the Louvre in Paris. It is a great honor for any painter to be selected for the Louvre in Paris, and I am no exception."

Xiao Yao changed the subject, "However, I don't think it's a good time to talk about this matter. I'm still very young and I haven't created many works. If we postpone the time for a few years before discussing cooperation, maybe we both have More and better options."

"I'm not being modest. These four works are all my painstaking efforts. You should know that I'm not short of money, so I plan to collect these four works myself, and I have no intention of selling them."

Xiao Yao said apologetically, "I am extremely sorry for letting Mr. Abraham go for nothing. In the past few days, I will invite Mr. Abraham to have a good time in Kyoto. Mr. Lu can be your guide."

For Xiao Yao's refusal, Abraham has long been prepared, and the only way he can do now is to show sincerity in terms of price.

After pondering for a while, Abraham said, "Mr. Xiao, don't rush to refuse. The Louvre in Paris is very sincere. Just listen to our quotation and you will know."
