    The reason why Meng Zitao let Lu Hongzhen paint another imitation of Xu Beihong's work was not simply because he wanted to forge Xu Beihong's works and sell them. He didn't need to use this method if he wanted to make money. It was mainly to plot against people like Xi Zhengzhen.

    Speaking of which, since the fall of the Bu family, Xi Zhengzhen has never been against Meng Zitao publicly, but Meng Zitao has heard that Xi Zhengzhen will criticize him in private whenever he has the opportunity.

    Therefore, Meng Zitao believed that as long as he really found the opportunity, he would definitely do something wrong.  In addition, Xi Zhengzhen has some things in his hands that are not clear. For this kind of person, Meng Zitao of course hopes to beat him to death with a stick, and there will be no psychological burden, but he will suffer from the lack of opportunities.

    Now that he met Lu Hongzhen, Meng Zitao had several thoughts in his mind, and then he asked this question.

    Lu Hongzhen looked at Meng Zitao, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not impossible, but I have a request. If you can agree to it, then there will be no problem with me."

    Meng Zitao said: "As long as it is reasonable, there is nothing that cannot be discussed."

    Lu Hongzhen said: "You must also know that painting requires a happy mood and a comfortable life before you can concentrate on it. This painting was actually completed a few years ago when I had a little money. With my current situation, I want to  It is definitely impossible to complete such a work.¡±

    Meng Zitao expressed his understanding and said directly: "If you can imitate Xu Beihong's works about horses, I am willing to support you, 30,000 yuan a month, for two years. After two years, you only need to give me two paintings  If you have a work of this painting¡¯s caliber, you can add this piece to it, and then we will decide the purchase price of the work based on its size and artistry.¡±

    Based on last year¡¯s statistics, the average salary of employees in Xijing was less than 2,500 a month. Meng Zitao directly gave Lu Hongzhen 30,000 a month, which is already very high in comparison.

    Lu Hongzhen was quite satisfied with this and said, "Besides that, I have another request."

    "Brother, it's ready."

    Seeing that his elder brother was still making demands, Lu Hongsi felt a little greedy. How could anyone else give you a total of 720,000 yuan in living expenses for two years before buying your paintings?  What's more, Meng Zitao is still treating his father.

    "It's okay, Teacher Lu, please continue." Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand. The world is like this. No matter how many demands a capable person makes, as long as they are reasonable, there will be no problem. Lu Hongzhen has this ability, and of course he has  This treatment.

    Lu Hongzhen smiled and said: "Doctor Meng, whether my request is high or low depends on whether you have the ability."

    Meng Zitao nodded, and then heard Lu Hongzhen say: "My request is very simple, as long as you can improve my reputation, even if it is only a third- or fourth-rate painter's reputation."

    Meng Zitao laughed: "This matter is very simple for me. I have an auction company under my name, and it is quite famous in the country. I can arrange for your painting to be auctioned. I believe that after the publicity, it will be  Your strength can fully achieve your purpose."

    In fact, with Meng Zitao's current ability, he is absolutely sure to make Lu Hongzhen a first-class painter in the country. Lu Hongzhen also has such strength. However, doing so will cost a lot of resources. With their current friendship, Meng Zitao is not worth it.  If you do this, in a nutshell, we will see Lu Hongzhen's performance.

    Meng Zitao agreed to both of his conditions, so there was no problem for Lu Hongzhen, so the two of them signed a written agreement. For a period of two years, Lu Hongzhen would copy at least two paintings of Xu Beihong.  During this period, Meng Zitao paid Lu Hongzhen 30,000 yuan for living expenses on time at the beginning of each month.  After completion, Meng Zitao was again responsible for establishing Lu Hongzhen's reputation.

    After setting up the receipt, Meng Zitao asked Lu Hongzhen for his bank card number and directly transferred 30,000 yuan to it. Lu Hongzhen was extremely happy and immediately said that he would start creating seriously today.

    After reminding the Lu brothers not to reveal the matter to anyone except family members, Meng Zitao left, and the brothers politely sent Meng Zitao out the door.

    Originally, Lu Hongsi was planning to send Meng Zitao back, but Meng Zitao pushed him away.

    There is nothing to do to go back to Feng Zhengsheng now, plus he won¡¯t be able to stay in Xijing for long and will have to go back the day after tomorrow at most, so Meng Zitao took a taxi to Xijing Antique City.

    There is no market today, and most of the shops open close to noon, so Meng Zitao came at the perfect time.

    However, before Meng Zitao walked around for long, he discovered a problem. Someone had been following him since he walked into the antique city just now.Finally, he said: "If I sell this painting to someone else, I won't sell it for less than 150,000 yuan. If you want it, Teacher Meng, just give me 120,000 yuan. This is the real price, so don't bargain anymore."

    When Meng Zitao heard this, he wondered what the price was, because the price quoted was even lower than his ideal price.

    Do you know why this is?  In fact, Meng Zitao didn't say something just now. Although this painting is not the original work, it is still related to the original work. It is actually the second layer of the original work. After the original painting was removed, it was painted according to the imprint on the second layer of paper.  of.

    Because of the author's level, it cannot reach the level of the original work, but because it relies on the original work, it can basically reach the point where the fake is the real thing.

    This kind of work is undoubtedly still valuable, not to mention that there is a secret about the authenticity hidden in this painting, so even if the price is several times higher, Meng Zitao will spend money to buy it.

    As for Xiao Xue not asking a high price, not only because he considered that the painting was a forgery and the price he bought it for was not high, but also because he wanted to leave some share for Meng Zitao so that Meng Zitao could make a profit in the future.  With this love, Meng Zitao may come to do his business again. In a word, he wants Meng Zitao to become a repeat customer.

    As a seller, repeat customers are more important than anything else, especially in the antique business. Without repeat customers, it is impossible to make a good deal.  What's more, Meng Zitao is still a very high-quality customer, and it is very important for him to be able to keep in touch.

    Of course, the most important thing is that Xiao Xue does not have the same eyesight as Meng Zitao. He does not see clearly that this painting is a "revealing the second layer", and he does not have the clairvoyance to see the secrets inside the painting. Otherwise, it would be impossible to open such a low price.  The price must be at least several hundred thousand.

    Meng Zitao quickly transferred the money to Xiao Xue, and then gave Xiao Xue his business card, and said that if he had anything good, he could contact him. Even if he didn't have time to come, he would send someone over.  For him, people like Xiao Xue are actually quite important.

    Xiao Xue took Meng Zitao's business card and kept it close to him, feeling happy and proud. The 120,000 he earned today was almost in vain. However, he didn't lie about what happened just now. He did get the painting in Bingcheng.  However, the original owner was stunned by his talk and sold it to him at a "cabbage price".
