Chapter 42

I walked in with a smile. When Aaron, who was drinking tea, saw me, he was surprised. He glanced at th e painting and looked at me: “Did you draw it?”

I lifted up my lips: Yes, President Aaron, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

“My company’s project.” He said and stood up. “Assistant, look at the picture.”

As soon as the assistant opened the, more than a dozen people present exclaimed. This was a common

scene in the past, I was excited to hear it again after a few months.

But among the people present, what I cared most about was Aaron’s response. Only his values it would

be conducive to the implementation of the follow–up strategy.

Aaron’s expression was not exaggerated like others. His expression was calm, but his eyes were more s hining.

He looked carefully for a while and said, “Very good. Although it is different from what I imagined, the arti stic conception and observability are much higher.”

“Thank you for your praise.”

“I’m telling the truth. This level is qualified to participate in the exhibition. It’s a little wronged to put it in m y sales hall.” He paused and said, “however, we will build an art exhibition hall. When the house sales ar e over, we will move the painting to the exhibition hall and try our best to maximize its value.”

“Thanks”

He looked at me and smiled, “You are too polite to me today.”

“It’s better to be polite. After all, you are my boss now.”

He nodded: “Yes, but I still need some pictures here. If the price is appropriate, we can cooperate for a lo ng time. What is your intended price?”

According to my understanding of the market, it is not a problem to sell hundreds of thousands of such paintings. If you add packaging and marketing, a million will also be easy to get rid of.

But I know better that the painting industry never lacks excellent painters. If there is capital operation, the paintings will be nothing.

1 took a breath: “Thirty thousand, after all, I use good pigments, and the prices of pigments are tens of th ousands…”

“Three hundred thousand,” he interrupted me and said to his assistant. “Tell the finance department to m ake a payment today.” Then he turned to me: “Your landscape painting is really good, and I don’t take ad vantage of you. I don’t set a framework for subsequent paintings. You can draw freely according to the re levant data of our project. As for the price, it will only be higher than this one.”

I didn’t expect that Aaron would be so straightforward. He immediately asked the legal department to draf t and sign the contract, and then 300,000$ full payment and 200,000$ advance payment were directly en tered into my account.

After finishing these, I want to go back. Aaron followed me: “Where do you live? I can give you a ride.” Si nce the cooperation had been reached and I wanted to inquire about something, so I didn’t refuse. This time, Aaron drove by himself. After getting in the bus, I said, “Give me your bank account and I’ll pay you “Keep it until you get the money for the later paintings.”

Half a million looks like a lot, but there’s not much left after paying back the neighbor’s house repair mon ey. I said: “Thank you.

111 pay you back until then ”

“I’m not in a hurry. You can take your time ”

I smiled and said. “No driver today?”

He laughed: “I have a brother who was born five minutes later than me.”

“Do you two look alike?”

“It’s as like as two peas.

“Then you are often mistaken by others?”

He didn’t answer immediately. His bony white fingers beat the steering wheel rhythmically, but the smile o disappeared, and even his eyes looking at the road seemed to be more cruel.
