The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 175 Limited, must be limited! (4.2K)

Lin Yaoheng’s WeChat interpersonal relationship map is much more complicated than Chen Xiuyun’s.

The first person to send the message was a non-staff colleague of his in the unit named Ye Zuo, a second-generation demolition worker.

My family has caught up with a good era. We have achieved financial freedom through demolition and found a job with a monthly salary of more than 3,000 yuan. I just don’t want to do nothing all day.

I usually drive a Porsche Macan to work, which is really cool.

Ye Zuo asked: "Brother Heng, is your brother-in-law a professional painter?"

Lin Yaoheng replied curiously: "I don't know if he is a professional painter, maybe he is a part-time painter, I haven't asked about it, how?"

Ye Zuo said: "I want to ask him if he accepts custom work. After seeing the picture you sent, I am a little jealous. I want to find someone to draw one for me and my wife, but I don't know how much it would cost."

Ah? Want to buy a painting?
Lin Yaoheng was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "Do you need me to ask for you?"

His relationship with Ye Zuo was not very good, but they worked in the same unit, saw each other every day, and had never had any conflicts. Since Ye Zuo had asked about this matter, it was okay for him to help ask.

Chen Jingle would not refuse to help generate income. Even if he refused, he would not be resentful towards him.

Ye Zuo replied: "That's the best way. Thank you for your help."

"fine."

After Lin Yaoheng finished replying, he said to Chen Jingle, "Brother Le, a friend of mine wants to ask you if you can accept custom paintings of this style?"

Before Chen Jingle could speak, Chen Xiuyun interrupted and asked, "Friend? Who?"

"Ye Zuo, the one I told you about before, the one in our unit who drives a Porsche to work." Lin Yaoheng explained.

Chen Xiuyun suddenly realized: "Oh, that second generation demolition."

No wonder.

Lin Yaoheng would usually share with her some gossip and interesting stories about the workplace, and this second-generation demolition tycoon who drove a Porsche to work was among them. However, apart from being a bit high-profile in driving a Porsche to work and spending money lavishly, he had never done anything bad.

The two looked at Chen Jingle, only to see that Chen Jingle had an expression of surprise.

Lin Yaoheng was a little embarrassed: "If it's inconvenient, I'll help you reject him."

Chen Jingle waved his hand: "Take it, why not? But you have to tell him clearly that the price of having me paint is not cheap, it's not just a few hundred or a thousand."

He felt surprised, not because he was surprised that someone would come to him to buy paintings, but because he did not expect that it would be through this method.

But think about it, both Sister Xiu and Lin Yaoheng are from relatively high social circles, so it’s normal for some of their colleagues and friends to be able to afford it.

After all, he is someone who can drive a Porsche.

After hearing this, Chen Xiuyun was immediately curious: "Then how do you charge?"

Chen Jingle said with a smile: "I usually charge 3 to yuan for a four-foot-long traditional Chinese painting for others. The meticulous hyper-realistic style you have on hand is more difficult and takes longer to draw. For this A-sized painting, I think it is appropriate to charge yuan per piece. If it is your friend or colleague, you can give me a slight discount of %."

This painting... 30,000?!

Chen Xiuyun and Lin Yaoheng were both stunned. They didn't expect it to be so valuable. They suddenly felt it was a little hot.

But what was even more shocking was that from what Chen Jingle said, it seemed that this was not the first time he had sold a painting.

Chen Xiuyun couldn't help asking, "Have many people come to you to buy paintings?"

"Quite a few. I drew more than twenty paintings in total," Chen Jingle said with a smile.

hiss~
Chen Xiuyun took a breath of cold air.

Even if the average price is 20,000 yuan per painting, it would be more than 400,000 yuan, right?

Finally I know where he got the money to buy the Audi A4L!
When her father told her that Chen Jingle bought a car, an Audi A4L, she was very surprised. With Chen Jingle's personality, how could he be willing to buy such an expensive car?

It turns out there is a new revenue channel.

Now it seems that buying an A4L is still conservative, you can definitely buy an A6L!
I was shocked and envious at the same time.

But she also knew that she couldn't envy him, because this was his hard power, and Chen Jingle really had the ability to make a living with this technology!

Lin Yaoheng was also shocked, but more of a admirer: "Then I'll help you reply to him and see what he says."

Chen Jingle nodded and smiled, "Okay. Don't worry too much. Usually, many people come to me to ask for prices, but not many are willing to place an order in the end. Not everyone is willing to spend the money. Only rich people are qualified to play with art these days. Even if the deal fails, there is still friendship. Don't give them a cold shoulder or change your attitude because of this."

"That's not the case."

Lin Yaoheng chuckled and replied to Ye Zuo on WeChat: "I asked for you, and he said he accepted the job, but the price is not cheap. His previous paintings for others were all 20,000 or 30,000 yuan each. This kind of meticulous hyper-realism is more difficult and takes longer, so the price will not be cheaper than other types, also 30,000 yuan. If you are my friend, I can give you a 18% discount. These are his original words. I have conveyed the message to you, and you can think about the rest yourself."

"Thirty thousand... with an 80% discount, that's twenty-six thousand four."

On the other end of the network, Ye Zuo frowned after thinking about it.

He didn't know much about calligraphy and antiques, and had never bought anything like that. He felt the price was more expensive than he had imagined, but still within his budget.

The main thing is that the quality of this painting is really amazing.

If a diamond worth thirty thousand dollars and a painting worth thirty thousand dollars were placed in front of him, he would definitely choose the painting.

It would be a blessing if the diamond could be sold for three thousand dollars by then.

It's hard to say about a painting. If you say it's worth three thousand, some people may think it's too expensive. If you say it's worth thirty thousand, some people may think you're making a huge profit.

Money can’t buy what you love, so I bought it!

Ye Zuo gritted his teeth and sent a message to Lin Yaoheng: "Brother Heng, please help push your brother-in-law's WeChat account. I will talk to him in detail."

Lin Yaoheng was surprised: "Are you really going to buy it?"

Wow, this is more than 20,000 yuan, almost 30,000 yuan!

He would hesitate for a long time to spend 200 or 300, let alone 20,000 or 30,000. It is true that comparison makes one feel nauseous. No wonder others drive Macan while he can only drive Tiida.

"Well, I just looked up this kind of hyper-realistic painting, it's pretty awesome. If your brother-in-law becomes famous one day, it may appreciate in value." Ye Zuo replied.

Lin Yaoheng was stunned. He had never considered things like appreciation or depreciation.

After all, Chen Jingle gave it to them as a gift. If Ye Zuo hadn't asked, they wouldn't have known that a painting by Chen Jingle was worth so much money.

"Okay, I'll send you his WeChat and you can talk to him about the details later."

Lin Yaoheng also said to Chen Jingle: "Brother Le, my friend seems to really want to buy it. He asked me to recommend your WeChat to him."

Chen Jingle was a little surprised. Usually, if one asked for the price and contact information, the deal would usually be concluded. Could it be that this was another order?
Nodding: "Okay, I'll talk to him."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "If you really get this order, I will send you a big red envelope later."

Lin Yaoheng waved his hand: "Why are you saying this? The painting you gave us is already valuable enough."

"Let's put one thing at a time." Chen Jingle shook his head.

Lin Yaoheng said firmly: "Really, if you want to charge me, then should we also pay you?"

Chen Xiuyun chimed in, "That's right. Thirty thousand yuan for a painting, I can't even think about it, I definitely wouldn't dare to take it."

Chen Jingle was speechless, his expression helpless: "Okay!"

……

Chen Xiuyun and Lin Yaoheng did not stay at Chen Jingle's house for too long. They went home happily with the paintings.

However, this matter is far from over.

Lin Yaoheng was helping his colleague to make the connection, and someone was also looking for Chen Xiuyun.

Apart from those who just wanted to get the news, there were quite a few who went straight to the point and asked if they could buy paintings. The first one was her colleague, Mr. Liang Fei in the office.

Liang Fei sent a message saying, "Xiuyun, can you ask your brother to draw a picture for me? My house has just been renovated and I need a painting to decorate it."

Chen Xiuyun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hesitated for a moment and replied, "Brother Fei, my brother's painting fees for others are not cheap."

"Oh? Approximately how much is it? If it's too expensive, forget it."

"A painting of this quality would cost 30,000 yuan. If it were my friend, I could give him a 12% discount."

Liang Fei heard it and said, "Wow, there is a friendship price? Thank you so much! If it is more than 20,000, I can accept it."

Chen Xiuyun was stunned. She wanted to spend 24,000 yuan to buy a painting just to decorate her new home. Was she sure it was okay?

"Excuse me, how much did it cost to renovate your house, Brother Fei?"

"Are you talking about the new house? About 80 square meters, but it hasn't been soft-furnished or added to yet." Liang Fei replied.

Chen Xiuyun smacked her lips. Why are they all rich people?

hateful!

The hard decoration alone cost more than 80 yuan, which is unimaginable.

She replied: "Okay, I'll talk to my brother for you, and then I'll send you his WeChat account so you can talk to him in detail."

"OK, thank you Xiuyun~"

As a result, just as Liang Fei's conversation ended, someone else sent a message to buy a painting.

This time it’s not the teacher, it’s the student.

"Sister Xiu, can you ask your brother to draw a picture for me too? I can pay for it!"

The person who sent the message was a girl in her class who was usually low-key. She was quite pretty, but not very keen on various campus activities. She gave people a very quiet and peaceful impression.

I didn't expect that I would also be interested in Chen Jingle's paintings.

Chen Xiuyun had no choice but to say, "Classmate, my brother's painting for others is not cheap."

The other person replied: "Can I ask how much it costs for one painting? It must be of the same quality as the one he painted for you."

Chen Xiuyun said: "30,000 per painting."

I thought this price would scare the other party off, but who would have thought that he would reply directly: "Sure!"

what?
It was Chen Xiuyun's turn to be confused: "I said 30,000 yuan, are you sure?!"

The girl replied: "This price is quite reasonable. Generally, famous painters charge this price, but their quality is not as good as your brother's!"

Only then did Chen Xiuyun realize the disparity in the world.

The money that a college student spends on a painting is enough for her to earn several months' salary.

When she conveyed the girl's request to Chen Jingle and asked if he was willing to take the order, Chen Jingle had a headache.

Three orders are actually okay, but if there are more, it will be a bit troublesome.

I had to say: "If someone comes to you again, just tell them that I am currently busy. I have too many orders on hand recently and I can't take them. I can't paint so many."

Previously, Mr. Yuan from Beijing ordered 10 paintings at one time, so he decided to reduce the order appropriately.

I didn’t expect that this time, I received several orders for the gifts for Chen Xiuyun.

Seeing that there were more and more of them, we quickly stopped them.

Limited edition!

Must be limited!

Otherwise, there would be too many people asking him to paint, and painting work would take up too much of his time, leaving him no time to do other things.

this is not good!

"You don't even want to make money?" Chen Xiuyun was shocked.

Chen Jingle was helpless: "You can't make enough money, sister. I have enough money for now, so I don't have to work so hard."

Well, Chen Xiuyun expressed her understanding and respect for his personal wishes.

Just thinking about those people who are willing to spend tens of thousands to buy a painting, and the huge sum of money blocking the door, I can't help but ask: "What if they are willing to wait?"

Wait?
Chen Jingle thought for a moment and said, "If you're still willing to buy it after I finish painting it, we'll talk about it then."

He felt that many people might just be in a momentary whim and would probably forget about it after a while.

……

"As expected, if you do something to the extreme, you won't be afraid of not having a market."

Chen Xiuyun smacked her lips. "How long has it been since we sent the message to our friends? Chen Jingle has only accepted three orders, and turned down a few more. In just a short while, he's already made 70,000 or 80,000 yuan."

envy!

Lin Yaoheng laughed and said, "You need to have the ability to do that. If you don't have the skills, don't take on a job. Others who want to make money from this don't have the skills!"

Chen Xiuyun sighed: "I feel sorry for the orders he rejected. If he accepts all of them, he can earn more than 200,000 today alone. It's outrageous to think about it!"

Lin Yaoheng glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, Brother Le must have his considerations. Don't worry about him."

Chen Xiuyun muttered a few words quietly and stopped dwelling on it.

After returning home, Chen Xiuyun took the painting back to her room first. She wanted to find a suitable place to put it so that she could appreciate it easily.

Lin Yaoheng poured himself a glass of water and then went to the toilet.

When he came out, his elder brother Lin Yaofeng just came back from outside.

Seeing Lin Yaoheng there, Lin Yaofeng immediately asked: "How did you get someone to paint that picture for you?"

Lin Yaoheng was surprised and smiled and said, "I didn't ask them to draw it. It was a birthday gift from Xiujie's brother. He said that we didn't have a wedding or a banquet before we got married, so he gave it to her as a gift to make up for it."

"It's an excellent painting." Lin Yaofeng nodded slightly.

Lin Yaoheng grinned: "Really? If someone asks him to paint a picture, they'll charge 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per piece!"

"Only 20,000 or 30,000?" It was Lin Yaofeng's turn to be surprised.

Lin Yaoheng was confused: "Only? Is twenty or thirty thousand not enough?"

Lin Yaofeng shook his head: "Of course! With this quality, any painter with a bit of fame would have to spend six figures!"

"Six digits?!" Lin Yaoheng's eyes widened.

He thought that twenty or thirty thousand yuan for a painting was exaggerated enough, but he heard his eldest brother say that the quality of Chen Jingle's paintings could reach six-digit level.

Don't be too outrageous!
Lin Yaofeng glanced at him and was speechless about his brother's fussing: "The art world is like this. A colleague of mine likes this kind of hyper-realistic style of painting. He introduced it to us before and showed us some of his collections. I feel that many of them are not as good as those painted by Xiujie's brother. The painters he mentioned just have some advantages of fame."

"If Xiujie's brother runs the business well, participates in more exhibitions and wins more awards, and then sends his paintings to auction more often, and then uses some tricks to raise the price, and becomes a well-known painter at home and abroad, then the value of his paintings will be much higher. At least five or six times the value will be no problem."

Lin Yaoheng thought about it and shook his head: "This is Brother Le's own business, I don't know much about it."

Lin Yaofeng didn't say anything, he just mentioned it casually, and his evaluation was highly personal and subjective.

If you ask that colleague later, you will know the specific level of this painting.
