Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Hearing Zulf Henry give him a clear answer, Fang Lang nodded with satisfaction. He knew that the other party must now regard himself as an art dealer.

Wanting to make money by hyping Picasso's works, Fang Lang just smiled. After all, his goal had been achieved. As for how the other party understood Fang Lang, he didn't care.

With the reminder from Zulf Henry, when he thought of investing in art, Fang Lang would certainly not invest in Picasso's works alone. Even adding Monet's works would not satisfy Fang Lang's desires.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to pursue the victory

"Besides these two painters, do you have any other works to recommend?"

Hearing this, Zulf Henry, who was leading a tour of the manor, stopped again, stood in front of Fang Lang and said

"As far as I know, there are a lot of famous works on the market now. If you are interested, you can purchase some for investment.

For example, the works of Dutch post-Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh have great potential.

But he has passed away, and his works have been recognized by collectors, so they cannot be stocked in large quantities for speculation.

If you want to invest in his works, the cost may be huge."

From here, Fang Lang can see that his butler still has a very vicious eye for paintings. At least so far, the painters he has recommended are all familiar to Fang Lang in later generations. As long as he has a few of them,

With each piece of work, my family’s heritage in the Western oil painting collection market will become extremely profound.

When it comes to who Vincent is, he may not know much about it, but the name Van Gogh is really too loud. At least, people like him know that Van Gogh has a work called "Sunflowers", which will be famous in later generations.

But it is a famous name, and there are probably very few people who have never heard of it.

Therefore, when he heard this name, Fang Lang had a clear understanding of Zulf Henry's art appreciation ability.

Such a person is actually a butler. I have to say that the quality of British butlers is indeed high. No wonder some people in later generations say that British butlers are gentlemen among gentlemen. They are more gentlemen than gentlemen and more aristocratic than nobles.

Some people even say that although they are not descendants of nobles, they are teachers of nobles.

At least, at this moment, this Zulf Henry's ability makes Fang Lang very satisfied, and even far exceeds his imagination.

As for other abilities, we will have to wait and examine them later.

"Vincent Van Gogh, who created "Sunflowers" and "Starry Night", right?"

Upon hearing this, Zulf Henry nodded and said with a smile

"It seems that sir is very knowledgeable about the art market. You are right, this is the person I am talking about. Although Vincent Van Gogh has some mental illness, he is indeed a genius painter.

p>

Unfortunately, jealous of talents, his life was very short, and he committed suicide at the age of 37. It is said that in his short life, he only created 864 oil paintings, but there were 1037 sketches and 150 watercolors.
If you want to hype his paintings, the cost we need to invest will be very huge, because his works have been recognized by the world.

There shouldn't be many people who are willing to sell easily. I suggest that if you want to speculate, you should look for some living painters and stock up on them before they are famous, so as to maximize your profits."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. I'm not short of money. Since you think this Vincent Van Gogh is a genius, then I will invest in him. No matter how many of his works are on the market, as long as they can be confirmed to be genuine.

You can contact me on my behalf, and I will look for a professional team to take charge of this business.

As for your suggestion of looking for living artists for investment, it is indeed very reasonable. Do you have any good recommendations?"

Now Fang Lang really recognizes the other party's artistic attainments, so he is really prepared to let him provide advice on his art investment.

Even if the other party really recommends a few artists that he is not familiar with for investment, he will not refuse. After all, hyping art is a specialty of some big collectors.

If you own a media organization, it is really not easy to promote an artist's reputation. As long as the artist's level is not too bad and you have enough works, it will be very difficult to lose money.

p>

Besides, judging from the several artists recommended to him by the other party, Zulf Henry's vision is definitely very vicious.

Therefore, he will continue to ask the other party if there are any other good artists to recommend.

When Zulf Henry heard Fang Lang's generous statement that he was not short of money, he was stunned. He didn't know how much Fang Lang was worth now, but he could say that he was not short of money.

The boss.

He believed that it would not be too bad. Since the other party believed in his vision and he was very satisfied with the recommended people, he no longer hesitated. After thinking about it for a while, he slowly said:

/p>

"Sir, I am very grateful for your trust. If you really want me to continue to recommend you, I do have three suitable candidates here, and I can guarantee that you will absolutely like their works."<

/p>

Looking at Zulf Henry's confident look, Fang Lang was a little surprised, but also found it interesting that the other person actually felt that he would definitely like his work very much.

You must know that he is not an artist himself, and he has no artistic ability. He can't even understand Picasso's paintings. If he hadn't known that these guys would be very famous in later generations, or that he knew that the works of these guys are very valuable,

, he won’t spend a lot of money to invest in the other party’s works!

Now that he heard Zulf Henry say that he was guaranteed to like it very much, he couldn't help but become a little interested.

With a smile on his face, he looked at the other person with amusement in his eyes

"Oh! There are three suitable candidates. Tell me if I have heard of them."

Of course, Zulf Henry had an eye for Fang Lang's expression, but he didn't care. He slowly stretched out a finger and said calmly

"First of all, these three people are still alive and have a lot of creative time."

Hearing this, Fang Lang nodded and motioned for the other party to continue speaking.

Upon seeing this, Zulf Henry slowly stretched out his second finger and said

"Second, they are all Chinese, and the works they create will definitely meet your aesthetic taste."

Fang Lang was shocked by these words. He did not expect that the other party would recommend three Chinese artists to him, but he thought that since the other party had in-depth research on Chinese antiques, it must be normal for him to like Chinese art.

It is also very possible to discover several potential artists from China.

Now he really started to become interested, and his eyes slowly started to shine.

He nodded to Zulf Henry and motioned for him to continue.

Seeing Fang Lang's expression, Zulf Henry also had a smile on his face, and said with a more confident expression

"Third, most of their works are in Chinese style, which will definitely match your aesthetic."

Fang Lang never expected that the people recommended to him would be several Chinese, and the works were also in Chinese style. No wonder he was sure that he would like them.

It seems that this Zulf Henry must have reached a certain level of understanding people's hearts.

Fang Lang was indeed very tempted by the three points he mentioned, so he said with a little eagerness

"Haha, tell me who these three artists are. I would like to know which of the artists from my hometown caught your eye and suggested that I invest in them."

When Zulf Henry heard Fang Lang's words, he obviously confirmed his vision, which made him very happy. He was able to make the other party recognize his abilities in the first meeting with his new boss, which would of course make it easier for him to carry out his work in the future.
Now that Fang Lang had already asked for the other person's name, he certainly couldn't continue to seduce the other person's appetite, so he no longer hid it and said directly

"The first painter is named Qi Baishi. He should be nearly eighty years old now, but as far as I know he has not passed away yet and is still creating. His works are of great investment value.

The second painter is Xu Beihong, who is 51 years old. He once studied in France, and the oil painting "Old Woman" he created in France was selected for the French National Art Exhibition.

Later, he traveled to Germany, Belgium, Italy, Greece, Switzerland and other countries to visit and study. He is also the only one of the three painters who has had experience studying in Europe and the United States.

The third painter is named Zhang Daqian, who is 47 years old and studied in Japan in his early years.

These three painters have their own characteristics and excellent painting skills. I think their works are very valuable for collection."

When Fang Lang heard the first name, he was stunned. He never thought that Zulf Henry, who was far away in the United States, would actually know Qi Baishi's name and recommend him to him.

p>

Before he had finished being shocked, the other party reported two more names that were familiar to him. At this moment, Fang Lang strongly doubted whether the other party was also a time traveler.

Otherwise, the few names the other party casually reported would all be famous figures in later generations. If he was not a time traveler, his vision alone should not be so unknown.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but his eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but become vigilant, and he asked Zulf Henry tentatively

"Do you know Bruce Lee and Michael Jackson?"

Since he was testing the other party, of course he couldn't directly ask him if he was a time traveler or something like that, but it was unlikely that he had never heard of a household name like Michael Jackson.

As for Bruce Lee, he is one of the Chinese celebrities who impressed Fang Lang the most. Since he understands Chinese culture so well, if he is a time traveler, he must have heard of this name.

After saying that, Fang Lang stared closely at the other person's expression changes, for fear of missing any details.

But there was nothing unusual about the other party's performance. It was just after thinking carefully for a while that he said in confusion

"I'm sorry, sir, are the two you are talking about also painters?

I'm really sorry, I haven't heard of their name. If you like their works, I can also ask around in the circle and try to buy some and bring them back to you."

Fang Lang stared at the other party without blinking, confirming that the other party did not show any abnormality, which made him feel a little complicated. He was relieved and a little disappointed at the same time.

He shook his head gently and said

"No, they are either painters or two friends of mine, because I really like the Qi Baishi works you mentioned. I have told them about this before.

When I heard that you recommended Qi Baishi to me, I thought you knew these two friends of mine because they told you about my preferences.

[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp]

Since you don’t know them both, forget it.”

Fang Lang's words made Zulf Henry show a very gentlemanly smile, bowed slightly to Fang Lang and said

"Sir, I don't know these two friends of yours, but since you have also discovered the excellence of Mr. Qi Baishi, it means that my recommendation is correct, right?

Gold always shines, and you are also a connoisseur who can find real gold in the gravel.

I think my recommendation will definitely satisfy you."

Hearing this, Fang Lang laughed loudly, stepped forward and held Zulf Henry's hand, patted the other person's arm and said

"Mr. Zolph Henry, can I call you Zolph?"

"Of course, sir, it's my pleasure!"

"Zolph, I want to tell you that you are excellent and definitely an excellent housekeeper. I admire you very much.

If you can be absolutely loyal, I will make you my lifelong steward."

Fang Lang is indeed very satisfied with Zulf Henry's performance, but there are some things he must say first. In his opinion, the most important quality of a butler is loyalty, and other abilities are secondary.

After all, his identity is very sensitive. As his butler, he may hear about many military and national events in the future. For example, the European support plan he came to discuss with Morgan this time is still kept in absolute confidentiality.

If he cannot be absolutely loyal and spreads the news he heard here, he will not say whether he can let him go, but the US government will definitely choose to silence him without hesitation.

In addition, Fang Lang is very cautious about the personnel around him. Almost everyone is subject to investigation and surveillance by his intelligence agencies. If any abnormality is discovered, he will definitely have them killed without hesitation.

In other words, working next to Fang Lang is actually very dangerous, and your life may be in danger.

After Zulf Henry heard Fang Lang's words, he was startled and said seriously

"Sir, thank you for your recognition of my work! Loyalty to the employer is the most basic professional ethics, and I am very clear about this. Please also believe that I will be able to do this perfectly.

I am very honored to be your lifelong steward."

Fang Lang smiled carelessly

"Zolph, I hope you can understand that my job is very special and requires very high confidentiality. If you work around me, you will definitely be investigated by the intelligence department and may also be monitored.

Once you are found to have leaked secrets, you may be arrested directly.

Therefore, I hope you won’t be in a hurry to give me an answer. You’ll take me on a good tour today, then think about it carefully when you get back, and discuss it with your family more.

If once you make a decision, it cannot be changed for life. I hope you can think it over carefully before giving me an answer. This is not an easy job."
