Wear It with Space

Although Mr. Mo is a bit famous in city A, he doesn't like to sell his paintings. Most of the paintings circulating on the market are paintings that he feels dissatisfied with. Most of those paintings were sold and given away by Mr. Mo when someone came to ask for paintings. In general, Mr. Mo is not a rich man.

When the student came to borrow money, Mr. Mo sighed: "Xiao Luo, it's not that the teacher doesn't lend you. Your senior sister is going to get married this year and plan to buy a house in city A. Your wife and I took out all our savings. Be her dowry, so that she can buy a suitable house. So I don’t have much money on hand, I can only lend you about 20,000 yuan, what do you think?"

Luo Zhongming lowered his head and said: "I also know that the teacher has a problem here, but I really can't help it."

Mo Lao sighed again. Shen Ling was in the audience for a while, and then interjected: "Mo Lao, I have a flow of funds in my hand. If you are willing to nod, I will lend the money to your student. "

Old Mo naturally knows what Shen Ling's idea is, but there is no other good way at the moment. He slowly said, "Xiao Luo, thank you Xiao Meng."

Luo Zhongming bowed to Shen Ling, and Shen Ling hurriedly said, "Don't do that."

Old Mo said: "Xiao Luo, I know you may not be in the mood to paint recently, but you want to get ahead in the future. At present, there is only one way to go by painting. Don't be decadent!"

Shen Ling didn't understand what Mo Lao meant, but from what he said, he could hear what happened to Luo Zhongming's side, but he was not a nosy person. After going out for a while, he took out 50,000 yuan in cash.

Luo Zhongming bowed to him again, took the money and left.

After Mo waited for him to leave, he sighed and said, "Xiao Meng, I made you laugh! This is a graduate student I brought. He was originally talented in painting, but unfortunately something happened at home, I don’t know if he can slow down. come."

Shen Ling didn't ask much about what happened to Luo Zhongming's family, but based on his understanding of people, it can be seen that Luo Zhongming is more determined. It shouldn't be the kind of person who can't get up when he stumbles, otherwise he wouldn't raise it. Lend him money.

A few days later, Shen Ling took a phone call Luo Zhongming gave him when he borrowed money and tried to make a call.

Shen Ling made an appointment with a teahouse. After Luo Zhongming took his seat, Shen Ling poured him a cup of brewed tea.

Luo Zhongming had no intention of tasting tea, and said straightforwardly: "Boss Meng, if you borrow my money, I may not be able to pay you back for the time being."

Shen Ling took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "I asked you not to come here today. I heard Mr. Mo say that you are very talented in painting. Can you help me imitate some famous works? I will give you every picture. How about you five hundred yuan?"

Luo Zhongming was slightly stunned, and Shen Ling explained: "I have no other meaning. The money you borrowed can be paid back slowly. But I do need some high-end imitation paintings. My calligraphy and painting store runs in the middle and low grades. Take these high imitations. Paintings are used to fill the facade."

Luo Zhongming just thought for a while: "I can't calm down to paint for a while. Meng boss, can you wait for me in half a month, okay?"

Shen Ling asked Luo Zhongming to imitate flower and bird paintings from the Southern Song Dynasty. With the brushwork of this very painter, Luo Zhongming quickly became immersed in it when he put down his work and started painting after half a month.

The calligraphy and painting shops soon added some of these paintings. The calligraphy and calligraphy city has a lot more people than the antique city. Many people want to buy a few paintings to hang at home after the house is decorated.

The paintings of flowers and birds in the Southern Song Dynasty and Shen Ling's paintings are biased towards that kind of antique style. They are more suitable for hanging in the living room and study room. The price is not too expensive, and they are very popular.

The business of the calligraphy and painting shop is also getting better.

But Shen Ling was not satisfied with this. After Luo Zhongming imitated paintings here for half a year, he felt that Luo Zhong was clear, as Mo Lao said, that he was very talented in painting. He had the idea of ​​holding a handful of Luo Zhongming in his heart.

He said this to Luo Zhongming, and Luo Zhongming was naturally willing.

After a discussion between the two, Shen Ling funded Luo Zhongming to visit famous teachers in various places.

The first painter Luo Zhongming visited was Qu Lao who was good at meticulous painting.

Shen Ling and Luo Zhongming had already inquired about Qu Lao's love tea earlier, and for this reason, Shen Ling specially took out from the space the Longjing that was rewarded by the emperor when he was an imperial concubine. The system stipulates that he is not allowed to take out the tea in the space to exchange money, but there is nothing wrong with using it for himself or giving it away.

However, the two of them didn't expect to rely on these two taels of tea to allow Qu Lao to accept Luo Zhongming, as long as they were willing to give some advice.

Qu Lao pointed out Luo Zhongming for the sake of tea. Although Luo Zhongming has a talent for painting, he has not yet formed his own unique style of painting. After Qu Lao's instructions, Luo Zhongming only felt that the thick fog that lay in front of him seemed to have a path.

Next, Luo Zhongming visited several painting circles one by one, and gave him a lot of gifts to his liking. These gifts were all prepared by Shen Ling. Some were antiques in the store, some were modern health care products, and some were treasures in the space.

With such dedication, Shen Ling found that Luo Zhongming's attitude toward him had developed from gratitude to gratitude, and he almost talked about him.

Shen Ling also slowly learned why Luo Zhongming had to borrow money in the first place. It turned out that Luo Zhongming's father lost money in doing business, and in desperation he chose to commit suicide. He not only left a lot of debts, but also directly hit Luo Zhongming's mother.

When Luo Zhongming asked Mo to borrow the 50,000 yuan, he was just to pay for his mother's medical expenses.

In ancient times, whether it is everyone in the literary world or everyone in the painting world, in the art field, all artists who have suffered setbacks will have made great achievements.

Shen Ling felt that choosing Luo Zhongming as his first investment painter still had great potential.

After Shen Ling spared no effort to pave the way for Luo Zhongming, Luo Zhongming's painting level has finally improved qualitatively.

Shen Ling began the first step of supporting him, and gave him a picture album.

Then he helped him to open a painting exhibition in City A. The paintings exhibited in the exhibition were all paintings painted by Luo Zhongming after he graduated. The style combines the antique style of ancient painting style and the simplicity and generosity of modern painting style. There are more than one hundred of these paintings. The most are paintings of bamboo and stone, flowers and birds, and some of them are paintings of ladies and landscapes.

When these paintings were on display, Shen Ling used the advantage of opening a calligraphy and painting shop to send invitations to many people in the circle. He also asked a group of people to join him. Finally, he spent money on newspapers and found someone. Put forward pertinent opinions.

The exhibition lasted for a month. During this month, many people were attracted to participate in the exhibition. After the exhibition, Luo Zhongming gained a little fame in City A.

Six months later, Luo Zhongming joined the Artists Association of City A and became one of its members under the recommendation of Mr. Mo.

After becoming a member of the Artists Association, the prices of Luo Zhongming's paintings began to rise.

Shen Ling owns a lot of Luo Zhongming's paintings. At this time, he took advantage of this to throw some of the paintings to the market, earning three or four million yuan in one go, completing the second ten-year mission.

Shen Ling couldn't help sighing. When he opened a bookstore for rent, he felt that the phone booth business was more profitable. However, when I opened an evening dress shop, I found that designing clothes sold to wealthy wives or starlets was almost several times that of telephone booths. After I came into contact with antiques, I felt that the antique shop’s business shouldn’t be done. As long as it is done, the profit will be late. Several times the dress. But now I have discovered that although the business of the antique shop makes money, the profit is far inferior to the investment in painting and calligraphy.

Once the owner of the paintings you collect becomes famous, the price of the paintings will rise linearly, and the profits will almost double by more than ten times.

Shen Ling tasted the sweetness, and later he put most of his thoughts on the painting world. As long as he found those potential newcomers, he would buy many paintings by him before he was famous. Then just wait for the appreciation.

When he was collecting paintings, he did not forget to start investing in the real estate of city a. The real estate in city a has been on the rise since 2003, but the increase is not very large. It is estimated that it is related to the inland location of city a.

Shen Ling inspected, and after buying two houses in city a, he headed north to Kyoto.

He has not invested in real estate before, because he knows that real estate profits have not been very high in recent years, and he does not have so much liquidity on hand.

Now that he has several million in hand, he has begun to target real estate in Kyoto. You must know that in a few years, the houses in Kyoto will continue to rise as if riding on a rocket.

Based on his knowledge of house prices in Kyoto, his task of 5 million in the third decade is not a problem at all.

Fifteen years later, Shen Ling was sitting in his company's office, listening to Chief Financial Officer Lin Fang report on his current assets.

In 2009, he set up a cultural company and recruited dozens of college students with writing talents, preparing to train them into screenwriters. In this era, no one knows better than him how developed the film industry will be in the future. What the film and television industry needs most is a good script.

In addition, he also founded a website. He has been the author of the website himself and knows how profitable it is.

This move fits Lin Fang's mind. As a loyal reader of a certain website, she persuaded Shen Ling Gaoxin to hire several authors she liked and signed a ten-year contract.

According to his own memory, Shen Ling also signed several authors who will be popular in the future.

When Lin Fang reported on the operation of the website, Shen Ling cast his gaze carelessly outside the window. It was already dusk, and the setting sun outside was slowly falling, staining a large area of ​​the sky to the west.
