The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 3718 Horse

The process of resolving the misunderstanding was not too complicated. Once Lee Sun-kyu pointed out the products sold in the store, everything made sense.

"Are these bottles and jars for sale? They don't look that good."

Kim Taeyeon rarely showed her low EQ and complained about the taste of the goods in the store in front of the owner.

Of course there was an element of deliberateness, but this was indeed her true feeling. This store was indeed open for business?

"You don't understand. This is called style. Only when you meet customers who like it can the art show its own value!" Lee Sun-kyu explained like a tour guide.

"Look, this pottery looks plain on the outside, but it's actually covered with dirt textures. The overall shape is a gourd, which is based on the ancient..."

Lee Sun-kyu talked incessantly, but the people around her were distracted.

Kim Taeyeon had a very bad first impression of this store. No matter how Lee Sunkyu explained, it still looked like a shady store to her.

At first, Seohyun wanted to respect Lee Sunkyu, but it has to be said that there is a real difference in their aesthetic tastes.

How could she not see the so-called beauty of this pottery? She could call it a semi-finished product. Was she sure it was as magical as Lee Sun-kyu said?

As for Li Menglong, he was the simplest one. When he heard the eight-digit offer from Lee Sunkyu, he immediately stood on the side of Kim Taeyeon and Seohyun.

"Don't look at me. I work in the wind and rain and earn my money through hard work!" Li Menglong stretched out his hand to separate them. "If you expect me to pay for this for you, you might as well kill me."

Lee Sun-kyu nodded with an unusually calm expression. This was all within her expectations.

Otherwise, why did she call Xu Xian instead of Li Menglong? She didn't think of asking him to come over from the beginning.

"Well, you would rather commit suicide than break up. I'm relieved!" Lee Sunkyu nodded continuously: "You can withdraw now. You've passed the test!"

"not me……"

Li Menglong still wanted to refute, but considering that the result was already quite favorable to him, why not just let it go?

Kim Taeyeon didn't hesitate like him. She pushed him away with her shoulder and said to Lee Sunkyu, "Hey, don't think I'm being harsh. Do you think you can understand this? Are you qualified to play with art with your little income?"

This direction of attack is a bit novel. Even Lee Sun-kyu herself did not expect that her income would become a reason to restrict her consumption?

"It may sound a bit arrogant to say this, but since my debut, I never look at the price when buying things. Anyway, I earn enough, right?" Lee Sun-kyu said with her hands spread out.

Kim Taeyeon held her forehead with her hand. She was almost angry to the point of having high blood pressure. Doesn’t this woman even blush when she lies?

Outsiders don’t know what their income is, and even the other girls may not be fully aware of each other’s income, but as the captain, Kim Taeyeon still knows some inside information.

They have only earned more in recent years. When they were at the peak of their fame, they were working for the company and paying off debts. How could they have the confidence to spend money at will?

A few people can't even pool enough money for a restaurant meal, and they have to cheat the little girl Xu Xian for her pocket money. Have they forgotten this embarrassing thing?

Seeing that the revelations from both sides were about to exceed the limit, Xu Xian had to stand between the two of them and really couldn't say any more.

Not to mention that there are outsiders present, even if it is only Li Menglong, you cannot reveal these inside stories to him. Don’t you think that the black material he holds in his hands is not enough?

"Hello boss, is there no premium for this price? We are sincere in buying it, can you quote a suitable price?"

Xu Xian did not let herself be bogged down in the quagmire of revelations, but instead took the initiative to approach her boss. This kind of thing should indeed be discussed with the other party.

Moreover, she set a price limit in her mind. If it exceeded seven figures, she would take Lee Soon-kyu away without looking back.

Artworks are really not suitable for artists to consume, mainly because of their status. They look like they are being taken advantage of.

Besides, if artists really want to collect, they have their own way of doing it in their own circle.

With prior communication, artists will use their fame to hype up the valuations of related artworks while making high-profile collections.

There will be an entire team and even the artists themselves involved, so it is a complex but also a fairly mature market.

Artists can get a share of the profits from this, but of course if they are too greedy and fail to act in time, that’s another story.

Although Xu Xian had never participated, with her name, it was impossible that no one would come to her.

In her opinion, although this operation tends to walk a little bit in the gray area, it can also be regarded as an endorsement, since it is all about utilizing the artist's fame.

If even she can understand this truth, Lee Sun-kyu should also be very clear about it. Why is she so addicted to it?

Everyone has expressed their opinions, and now all the questions are pushed to the boss, who is constantly pressing the base of his thumb while his eyes keep shifting between several people.

Finally, his sight stopped on Li Menglong's head, causing Li Menglong to step back.

What does he want to do? Are you planning to use him as a breakthrough point?

There has to be a limit to naivety. Unless it is given away for free, Li Menglong will consider the original high price and have the possibility of collecting it. Otherwise, he will feel that it takes up too much space if he keeps it.

"You are a director and a practitioner in the art industry. You should understand my difficulties, right?" The boss looked at Li Menglong earnestly, looking forward to his response.

Li Menglong let him down and chose to tell the truth: "Don't worry, don't you know my reputation in the circle?"

"I'm a lousy director who makes commercial films. There are so many people in the industry who look down on me. If you say I'm an artist, they won't agree."

"If you don't believe it, go ask Xiaoxian, she knows it too!"

Being forcibly pulled out by Li Menglong, Xu Xian nodded reluctantly. Although things were not as exaggerated as he said, the basic situation was still close.

To be precise, any director who has achieved success in the field of commercial products will be automatically excluded from a certain range, as if the remaining directors are more advanced.

Perhaps because she has been in contact with Li Menglong for a long time, she could not help but be influenced by him and always felt that this view was a bit problematic.

Whether something is art or not is determined by the audience, and the audience is embodied by the numbers on the set.

Therefore, directors with high box office revenue are more recognized by the audience, so it is not an exaggeration to call them artists. At least they are more qualified than those directors who only lose money.

Li Menglong and Xu Xian's sincerity not only did not disappoint the other party, but made the other party look even more excited. The boss turned around a few times and wanted to pick up something and throw it on the ground several times, but after looking at the label, he withdrew his hand in dismay.

"How about you pick one and smash it to express my excitement?" the boss suggested to Li Menglong.

Li Menglong looked at him puzzledly: "It would be a shame to smash it, so just give it to me to avoid wasting it."

"That won't work. Artists can't give their works away as gifts, or they won't sell for a good price."

"That makes sense!" Li Menglong agreed, and then asked, "But I heard that once an artist dies, the value of his work will soar. Why don't you try this route?"

The boss opposite subconsciously raised his hands to protect himself. He finally remembered that the man in front of him was not only a director, but also the boss of a company, a well-deserved capitalist.

Talking about artists with such a person is like playing the lute to a cow, and it might even be like trying to get the skin of a tiger. Otherwise, how could he come up with such vicious tricks?

"Don't be afraid, I'm just saying this. If you think it doesn't work, we can continue to discuss it." Li Menglong suggested.

He did become interested, but not in the art itself, but in the process of manipulating appreciation, and he was interested in making money.

It was unclear whether the boss was frightened or was seriously considering his proposal, but he did not respond for a while.

This made Lee Sun-kyu feel very uncomfortable, she felt that she was cheated!

Doesn't she have any aesthetic sense? How can she not see something that even Kim Taeyeon finds ugly?

But considering the shop itself and the owner's conversation, she had the illusion that she had discovered a good horse!

The point is not the thousand-mile horse, but that Lee Sun-kyu has the potential to become a good horse trainer. This feels so fresh.

Imagine that one day in the future, when an emerging artist is giving an acceptance speech, he uses at least half of it to thank Lee Sunkyu alone. How touching would that scene be?

Not to mention that the work itself has the potential to appreciate in value, after all, even Xu Xian knows this.

That's why she called Xu Xian over. Not only did she want Xu Xian to pay, she also wanted to borrow the little girl's reputation.

Even though she doesn't say it on a daily basis, she knows it very well in her heart. At least in the past one or two years, this little girl is the most popular person in the team.

Lee Sun-kyu is not "using" Seohyun for nothing. This is an opportunity to make money. She is making money with Seohyun!

But at this moment, her filter has been shattered. Regardless of whether the other party is a good horse or not, Li Menglong is more like the Bole.

This was not the way she wanted to see it, she felt disgusted!

"Do you want to talk for a long time? I will take them both away first. I wish you success in your mission in advance."

As Lee Sunkyu spoke, she pulled Kim Taeyeon and Seohyun's hands and tried to pull them out with force.

Xu Xian was somewhat prepared, but Kim Taeyeon knelt on the ground directly: "Ah, is your mouth just for show? You did it on purpose!"

"Yes, I did it on purpose, what do you want?"

"What do I want? Is there no room for you in this world?" Kim Taeyeon was speechless: "If you apologize to me now, I can still forgive you. If you do that again--"

"No need to wait any longer, I won't apologize, just do it!" Lee Sunkyu interrupted Kim Taeyeon and hooked her finger at her.

Kim Taeyeon raised her head and laughed wildly twice, then pointed at everyone and said, "You all saw it, she was the one who provoked me first. If someone dies later, you all have to testify for me!"

After thinking that she had cleared herself of responsibility, Kim Taeyeon was no longer polite and rushed forward like a hungry tiger.

Lee Sun-kyu seemed reckless, but she had a complete plan in her mind and ran out at the first opportunity.

The two of them, one chasing and the other escaping, cooperated very well.

"Why don't you take me with you? How am I going to leave if I'm left here alone?" Xu Xian was already wailing in her heart.

As for Li Menglong still being here, Xu Xian would not consider him at all. After all, she didn't want to join him in the "investment".

Considering that there might not be a chance for her to meet the store owner again in the future, Xu Xian felt that she could be a little more ruthless.

She took out her cell phone and, without any ringing, pretended to answer the call: "What? Police? Wait a minute, don't take them away yet. I can explain. I'll be right over!"

Xu Xian didn't plan to explain to the two men beside her. After all, the reason was so bad that she felt embarrassed.

After waving the phone in her hand at the two of them, Xu Xian thought it was a goodbye and quickly followed them out.

"Ignore them, let's continue discussing our business. How many times do you plan to increase the value? For people in our industry, 10,000 times is just a small goal, right?"

Li Menglong looks like a fraudster at this moment, promising a 10,000-fold return. Should we discuss how to leverage the funds next?

Although such people generally don’t target artists, at least those who are not famous, but who can say for sure that Li Menglong will not be the exception?

The boss has unconditional trust in the girls, or perhaps their status as artists means they are unlikely to do anything tricky in such matters.

But as for Li Menglong, if the conversation continued, he was afraid that even if he sold the store he would not be able to make up for the so-called loss.

So even though Li Menglong tried hard to express his desire to talk more, he was still politely but firmly asked to leave.

"Don't be in such a hurry to close the store. Aren't you letting me buy something? How much was that jar before? I'll buy it. I have money!"

Li Menglong slammed the glass door, leaving his handprints on it one by one. He even planned to break in, as this kind of door could not protect against villains.

Fortunately, Xu Xian and the other two didn't go far. After seeing this, they ran over quickly and forced him away, so as not to embarrass himself here again.

"Who are you talking about? I'm investing, investing, do you understand?" Li Menglong shouted.

Xu Xian signaled to the two women beside her to stop talking. He was now unconscious and needed to be coaxed.

After seeing the two men shut up, she took Li Menglong's hand and said gently, "It's okay. I have channels. I'll introduce you to some artists. We don't have to stay here with him."

"Really? You're not lying to me, are you? Lying will make you gain ten pounds!" Li Menglong threatened.

And Xu Xian was silent this time. She tried to persuade Li Menglong with good intentions, but this man turned around and cursed her?
