Chapter 69 Our Family Likes to Do Charity
"What a tough reason, but I like it!"
"This person is really not bad for money."
Although he only showed a pair of eyes, my intuition told me that he must be a handsome guy! "
"Do you think his posture of transferring money is more handsome?"
"Hahaha!"
"Let's just put out the payment code, I'm in a hurry." Zhang Menglong saw that the staff at the entrance had already started arranging the next batch of admission.
Hearing Zhang Menglong's words, everyone quickly took out their mobile phones and stood in a row waiting for him to come forward.
"Forget it, [-] is [-], it's better than nothing!" Although the person at the front was a little unwilling, but there was nothing they could do. They didn't care how much money they spent, they only cared about whether they were happy or not.
"Handsome guy, it's my turn," the man at the front held out his phone to Zhang Menglong with a wretched face.
"It's fine, this position is fine, don't go any further," Zhang Menglong put away his mobile phone and had no idea of continuing to transfer money, "I just heard someone say that a batch of 5 people can enter, so I only need to be in the top five That's it, there's no need to spend any more senseless money."
"You're playing with me?" The wretched man suddenly became annoyed.
"Playing with you?" Zhang Menglong was speechless, "Why should I play with you? Who are you, are you worthy?"
Inexplicably being scolded by others, Zhang Menglong was also very depressed, as if he owed him money, how much he was willing to spend was one thing, and whether it was necessary to spend it was another.
As long as the money is worth it, Zhang Menglong doesn't care. After all, money is just a number to him, but it makes no difference whether it is spent or not, so why should he?
"It's inexplicable!" Zhang Menglong muttered, and led Lu Yiyao into the exhibition venue according to the staff's instructions.
"I remembered, this person seems to be Zhang Menglong!" At this moment, someone in the waiting crowd finally recognized his identity.
"Damn, I'll just say, how is this gesture of spending money so familiar, it turns out to be him."
"Seeing the real person, my God, it is just like the legend, he is simply a boy who scattered money!"
After showing their credentials and taking their temperature, Zhang Menglong and Lu Yiyao entered the venue smoothly. As expected, the venue was so crowded with people that it was almost as good as the lantern festival held more than ten years ago.
There are nearly [-] world famous paintings in this exhibition. Almost all of the painters whose names were found in art textbooks can find their works in this exhibition.
"It's weird, why are you interested in art works?" To be honest, Zhang Menglong has some musical skills, but in painting, it is simply a black hole. The paintings he painted cannot even use the three words "abstract". described.
"Arts are all connected. I like music, so I am also interested in fine arts."
"Che, I'm afraid you're not interested in me, so you asked me out to play on the pretext of watching the art exhibition?"
Lu Yiyao was accustomed to Zhang Menglong dancing from time to time. She gave Zhang Menglong a blank look and focused her attention on those world famous paintings.
"This area is all works of the Renaissance era, which are of great significance in terms of artistic value and historical value. I didn't expect that there are so many. The organizer is really capable!" Lu Yiyao looked at these paintings and praised them. Absolutely.
"What historical significance can a painting have?" For ordinary people, these world-famous paintings are precious works of art, and they are the realm of lifelong pursuit, and even their beliefs.
But for Zhang Menglong, the murals at the entrance of his house are world-famous paintings, and the wall hanging on his bedside table is a world-famous painting directly opposite the toilet in his house. For him, this kind of thing is fundamental Just like newspapers and magazines for ordinary people.
Their family has been passed down for 5000 years. For his elders, that history is the history that is happening every day. These world famous paintings may just be because they saw a poor artist who painted well and bought them at will. down.
With the passage of time and the fermentation of art, paintings that were once dismissed in the trash have become masterpieces that are now world-renowned.
Of course, outsiders cannot understand this feeling.
"Oh, you don't understand," Lu Yiyao said, "this exhibition is simply a piece of modern painting art history!"
"But I think it's similar to my library. No, it shouldn't be as good as my library."
"Library?" Lu Yiyao didn't understand what Zhang Menglong said. What conditions must be required to build a library at home!
"Yeah, my ancestors and elders like to collect these things very much." Zhang Menglong looked at the ceiling and began to recall, "Take Picasso's paintings as an example. There are nearly [-] works of his surviving, right?"
"It's about 37000." Lu Yiyao gave a more accurate number.
"Actually, it's far more than that," Zhang Menglong said. "He actually created more than [-] paintings in his lifetime, and a third of them were created in his last ten years."
"Impossible, according to what you said, where did his more than 4 works go? Destroyed?"
"It's piled up in my library!" Zhang Menglong rolled his eyes, "You don't know how much space these things take up, and the paintings are painted like ghosts, hey, don't look at them like that. However, I really don't understand his art."
"More than 4 copies." Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, but based on her understanding of Zhang Menglong so far, what he said was very likely to be true.
It is said that the cheapest Picasso painting that has appeared at auction so far is 150 million US dollars, and the most expensive one, "Women of Algiers", has been auctioned for a sky-high price of 1.79 million US dollars.
The average value of Picasso's paintings has reached more than ten million dollars. Wouldn't it cost hundreds of billions of dollars for these more than 4 paintings?
Thinking of this number, Lu Yiyao didn't know how to answer the call.
"You shouldn't have only Picasso's paintings at home, right?" Lu Yiyao asked mysteriously.
"Of course, Michelangelo, Paul Cézanne, Leonardo da Vinci, as long as they can be named, but there are not so many," Zhang Menglong continued.
"Oh, by the way, there is also the painting of Van Gogh. His paintings were not famous when he was alive, so I have an ancestor who bought a lot of them at a low price. There are more than 1200 paintings in total, according to the current purchasing power. If so, it would cost hundreds of thousands.
"Hundreds of thousands bought more than 1200 Van Gogh paintings?" Lu Yiyao's expression was sluggish. Now it's going to be hundreds of thousands of times more?
Now she knows why Zhang Menglong is so rich. It is very difficult for a family that has been passed down for so long to have no money!
"By the way, there is also a plus version of Van Gogh's starry sky in my bedroom, which is about 5 meters and 3 meters wide. My ancestors spent almost 80 yuan at that time, which is equivalent to today's money. At that time, Van Gogh He was about to starve to death, in fact, my ancestors didn’t want his paintings, and he was really pitiful, so he spent a sum of money to buy them to help this poor painter.”
"According to you, that ancestor of yours is still doing charity?"
"Yeah," Zhang Menglong sighed, "This is a family tradition. Everyone in our family likes to do charity work. When we traveled in Europe, we often helped some down-to-earth musicians and painters. , I don't respect them very much when I throw them away, so I can only find a place to pile them all up, who knows how valuable they are now."
"Are you speaking human words?" Hearing Zhang Menglong's tone made him seem aggrieved, where is this charity?This is clearly an investment!It's still the kind of [-] profits or even millions of profits!
