Rebirth 09: A perfect life starting from college.

As for LOL's right to operate the Greater China region, it should be in the hands of Weixin Technology.

Tengda will never even think about it in the future.

However, when it comes to the penguin's urination, Jiang Cheng's heart is like a mirror.

If you can't get the right to operate, you will definitely copy it.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng added an emergency clause to the agreement, requiring Tekken to complete the localization and debugging of LOL before the end of this year.

And I will also use all human and financial resources to obtain online game operating licenses in China, set up servers, and other post-work.

The goal of everything is to ensure that LOL will be launched in China around Christmas this year.

So, right now, timing is everything.

……

After the most important thing was done, Jiang Cheng returned to the hotel and rested comfortably for the night.

The next morning, after Jiang Cheng got up, he went straight to the bustling business district of Beverly Hills. First, he planned to go shopping and bring some small gifts back home, and second, he planned to find a gift for the old man of Wang Fuye's family.

After all, it was someone else's invitation, so Jiang Cheng had no reason to leave empty-handed.

Taking a Rolls-Royce Phantom, under the suggestion of the hotel's exclusive driver, I finally decided to go to the Rodeo Drive shopping street.

It is the most luxurious shopping center in the central area of ​​Beverly Hills. Almost all the luxury goods in the world are gathered here, and it can be called a shopping paradise for the rich.

After about half an hour's drive from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Jiang Cheng finally arrived at the Rodeo Drive shopping street.

Through the car window, I saw that this world-famous commercial street was built very luxuriously.

Different from other areas in Luodu, on Rodeo Drive shopping street, the number of black people is much smaller, while the proportion of white people is very high, and judging from their clothing, manners and temperament, they are basically the middle class of Magnesia society Or the upper elite.

This is also quite in line with the characteristics of this Beverly Hills area - the enclave of the richest white people in the country.

Jiang Cheng even saw some familiar faces on the side of the road along the way.

For example, the greasy fat man who is shirtless and holding a water gun to indulge wantonly on the grass by the lake in the park.

Although he couldn't remember the name for a while, Jiang Cheng vaguely felt that it should be a certain star he had seen in a Hollywood movie.

After getting off the car in the parking lot, Jiang Cheng, accompanied by Xing Zhibang and others, walked towards Rodell Street.

Pass by the landmark arched fountain that has appeared in countless Hollywood movies.

On both sides of the street, there are top luxury stores from all over the world, and the decoration of each store is resplendent and beautiful.

A perfect fusion of modern art and business.

Therefore, the reason why rich people are willing to come here to shop and consume is more because of the quality here.

After walking around the street, Jiang Cheng already had several luxury shopping bags in his hands.

It's all a gift for the girls.

——The gift I bought for Lu Xin was a diamond crystal necklace from Chanel, a pair of Prada shoes for Wen Jie, an Hermès bag for Ling Ruonan, and a set of limited-edition Dior cosmetics for Lisa Han.

More money and less money is the second most important thing. Most of them are limited editions abroad, the kind that you can't buy if you have money in China.

After handing over all the gifts to the driver and taking them back to the car, Jiang Cheng seriously began to think about preparing birthday gifts for Wang Fuye and his father.

Jiang Cheng considered that the other party was after all a top boss in the China entertainment circle, and at the same time, he and his son Wang Fuye were called brothers, so in terms of counting, he could be said to be his elder.

So when it comes to gifts, it's better to be more formal.

Jiang Cheng thought about it, and suddenly remembered the sporadic news media reports he had seen in his previous life. He vaguely seemed to remember that the best thing in his life, Hua Yi's boss, was painting.

In that case, it would be most appropriate to send him a painting.

It can match what it likes, and it will look more elegant.

"Hey, Brooke, do you know of a gallery or art store near Rodell Street?"

Thinking of this, Brooke, the driver and guide, just came back from the parking lot, and Jiang Cheng asked him directly.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang."

The burly driver Brooke nodded respectfully.

"Not far ahead, there are many gathering areas for top artists, shall I take you there now?"

"It's work."

Led by Brook, the group walked along Rodell Street for a while.

Finally came to a richly decorated gallery.

The name of the gallery - 'Hauser & Wirth' is marked on the walnut doorplate.

On the poster board at the entrance, there is also the title of today's theme art salon - "Environment and Nature".

"This is the best gallery and art exchange around Beverly Hills."

Brook stopped and introduced patiently: "Mr. Jiang, I believe you will like this place."

"very good."

Jiang Cheng nodded slightly, and walked in.

Chapter 209

Stepping into Hauser & Wirth, under the soft lighting, the dazzling array of famous paintings makes people overwhelmed.

Full of artistic heritage, Jiang Cheng can't help but sigh secretly, this place is simply a treasury.

On the clean white wall, there are neatly hung master works one after another.

Matisse, Monet, Picasso, Gauguin and other masters are famous.

In addition to Western painting masters, the Hauser & Wirth Art Gallery also has a collection of works by many Eastern painters.

Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian, Huang Binhong and so on.

After reading it all the way, Jiang Cheng finally decided to choose a four-foot splashed ink green landscape by Zhang Daqian as a birthday gift for Wang Fuye's father.

Perhaps because it is oriental ink painting, the price of this work is not expensive, only about 20 US dollars.

As a gift for the first meeting, it is both compelling and affordable.

After making up his mind, Jiang Cheng didn't hesitate and asked the waiter in the gallery to take him to pay.

On the way to pay, Jiang Cheng's eyes were not idle, he was still looking around.

Looking at it, suddenly, he stopped in front of an oil painting.

——This is an oil painting hanging in the corner of the booth.

The size of the picture is not large, and the content on the canvas is extremely simple, which looks ordinary and unremarkable.

The whole picture is an infinite desert spread by khaki and dark green oil paint strokes, with a running baby elephant in the center.

But Jiang Cheng clearly knows that this is the work of the master San Yu - "Lonely Elephant".

This oil painting is the last masterpiece left by Sanyu. He has integrated his life's perception of life and art into this painting.

Although the little elephant ran very lonely, he was still strong and unyielding.

This is the portrayal of his life.

He has experienced many things in his life, and the rest of his life was lonely - but he has no regrets.

Whether he is admired or hated by others is no longer important to San Yu himself, because his life is already full of meaning.

Of course, these contents, including the painter San Yu, were all learned by Jiang Cheng from the title song of Jay Chou's latest new album in his previous life.

In fact, in 09, the great artistry of Sanyu's paintings has not been known to the public, and the popularity of the paintings is not well-known in the public mind.

So the price of his paintings is not expensive.

Only in the expert circle of art collection can we appreciate this extraordinary and talented painter.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng from the future also knows that a few years later, San Yu's paintings were sold at Sotheby's auction house for a sky-high price of hundreds of millions.

In one fell swoop, he became the painter with the highest auction price in the history of Chinese painting.

But in 09, Sanyu's reputation did not seem to be as famous as other painting masters.

Otherwise, this posthumous work of his would not be hung alone in the corner of the exhibition hall.

Jiang Cheng stopped to watch for a long time, raised his hand slightly, and asked someone to call the person in charge of the gallery.

"Hello, sir."

Not long after, a white man in a well-fitting suit quickly came to Jiang Cheng's side and introduced himself, "I'm the manager of Hauser & Wirth, Mike Steve."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

As the person in charge of art sales, Mike Steve could see at a glance the extraordinaryness of the Chinese boy in front of him.

So speak in a very respectful tone.

"Hello, Mr. Steve." Jiang Cheng looked at the oil painting in front of him, and asked calmly, "What is the price of this work?"

"You mean this "Lonely Elephant" by Mr. San Yu?"

Following Jiang Cheng's line of sight, Mike Steve was immediately in awe.

As an expert in art appreciation, Steve's personal aesthetic vision is very high.

Although the painter named Sanyu is not well-known, Steve believes that his paintings can be called great works.

It's just that, because of the lack of fame, no one cares about it.

——And the gentleman in front of him, who was able to spot this painting at a glance from so many masters' works, is indeed a knowledgeable expert.

"Sir, your vision is really good! This work is also the posthumous work of the Chinese painter, Mr. San Yu, and it is also the last painting in his life."

Mike Steve introduced calmly: "Currently, the gallery's price for this work is 100 million US dollars."

Hearing the offer, Jiang Cheng was slightly taken aback.

Sanyu's last posthumous work is only quoted at 100 million US dollars?

so cheap? !

——You must know that in the future, the initial auction price of Sanyu's paintings will be tens of millions of dollars!

And the transaction price is basically [-] million!

Not to mention that this painting represents Sanyu's last posthumous work summarizing his lifelong artistic career!

It only cost 1.7 million U.S. dollars to acquire the Tekken Company by myself. Once this painting is in hand, it is directly equivalent to instant blood recovery!

Whoring for nothing, isn't he good?

"gentlemen..."

Seeing that Jiang Cheng didn't speak for a long time, Mike Steve, who thought the other party was too expensive, quickly continued: "Although Mr. Sanyu's reputation is not very prominent at present, I can assure you that his paintings are [-]% There is still a lot of room for appreciation!"

"So, whether you are interested in this painting yourself or because of the need for collection, I think the price of 100W is definitely worth it."

——I also know that this is not value, but super value.

Jiang Cheng thought to himself, speaking in a calm and natural tone.

"Very good, Mr. Steve, I bought this painting."

"Very wise choice~"

After the deal was concluded, Steve looked very excited, and his tone became more respectful.

In the following time, after completing the payment process for the two paintings, Jiang Cheng decided to go to the gallery again after waiting for a long time for the gallery to pick up and pack the paintings.

See if you can catch another leak.

Walking all the way along the exhibition hall, I suddenly heard a burst of voices coming from a distance.

Taking a closer look, it seems that an art salon is being held in the exhibition hall next door.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng's heart was slightly touched.

It suddenly occurred to me that when I first came in, I seemed to see a poster of the themed salon hanging at the entrance of the gallery.

The name seems to be called "Environment and Nature" or something?

For the so-called environmental protection-themed activities, Jiang Cheng, who wanted to pick up the loopholes, was not very interested.
