Chapter 24 Loser Salon (4K 2-in-1)(2/2)
, we still don’t know what the final outcome of the claim will be.
"There is no need to rent the venue, and the commission can be waived within three years." Fan Ning smiled mysteriously, "In other words, all the transaction volume will fall into your own pockets..."
A group of people's eyes widened in surprise, and Malai asked in disbelief: "Then what are your conditions?"
Fan Ning explained: "After it is put into use, I can curate and designate special areas for you on a bi-monthly basis. For more than ten days, the number of participants will be no less than 10, and each person will have no less than 20 paintings on the wall.
There is no rent required, no commission, and I am responsible for the promotion and operation... Well, the only thing I have to pay is your paintings!"
"For every 20 works you plan to exhibit, each person will give me one for my collection. I will choose which one... Of course, if I encounter an extra-large size or special work, I will not ask for it to be my own.
We will negotiate with you separately."
…What kind of strange way of cooperation is this?
The painters looked at each other and felt that they had never heard of it. Of course, it was strange, but they began to calculate rapidly in their hearts.
Prudence Auction House charged a rent of 720 pounds to operate this "Salon of the Unsuccessful", which means that each of them paid an average of 40 pounds - the actual amount is more or less, because of mutual assistance, the market price of the works is relatively higher.
A few people come out more often.
The auction house's curation time and scale did not meet the minimum standards set by Fan Ning, and they also set a transaction commission of 20 points.
As for the market price of their paintings... Claude, who is relatively the most popular, can sell a 50x60 cm work for up to 300 pounds. Most of the other people's past transactions have been in the range of 50-100 pounds. Pruden
The average compensation package offered by Sri Lankan auction houses for their burned paintings is 66 pounds per painting.
These figures may be very luxurious for ordinary people, but what you need to know is that the works of the masters of romantic or authentic academic schools can be sold for four-digit, five-digit or even six-digit prices! In comparison,
After deducting the cost of consumables, these painters live an extremely difficult life. In many cases, they constantly lower their living standards in order to buy paints, canvases, brushes, etc.
The plan proposed by Fan Ning does not consider the issue of zero commission, but only converts from absolute prices. It seems that the average price of a painting of 66 pounds is more expensive than the auction house rental price of 40 pounds...
But it can’t be calculated like this! Fan Ning didn’t charge them a penny in cash, and by default one of the paintings was purchased with a guaranteed minimum, which meant they didn’t have any pressure to advance payment.
This plan made them excited, and the two sides began to discuss the details in a more enthusiastic and speculative manner.
After becoming familiar with each other, Fan Ning asked each painter a question in turn:
"Where did you buy the paint for these burned paintings? Have you purchased any special paint from any special channels recently?"
Everyone was a little confused by the question, but they still started to recall it in detail.
They answered in turn many pigment manufacturers, distributors or related chemical companies that Fan Ning was familiar with.
But when asked about the tenth time, the painter named Cumier reported a series of brands, including a special source that caught Fan Ning's attention.
Because Fan Ning knows almost all the brands of first-, second- and third-tier paint manufacturers in the Northern and Western Continent, if there is one that is unfamiliar to him, it will definitely attract his attention.
"...Besides, I did some purchasing at a small pigment factory called 'Langefni' a few months ago."
"Which paint factory is this?" Fan Ning asked Cumiye.
"The small factory I accidentally discovered when I went out of the city to the east of Santaram Castle... Its production work is based on the 'Langefni' workhouse of the same name... Because I accidentally discovered that several of its colors are particularly in line with my impression of "
