Becoming a Rich Man from Siberia

"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Ye Feng has also collected the works of a certain sculpture master here?"

Ye Feng looked at Bowles's surprised expression and laughed:

"Mr. Bowles, do you think I can't collect the works of masters?"

Bowles realized that he had said something wrong and said embarrassedly:

"Haha, of course not. It's just an accident that Mr. Ye Feng looks quite young, but he has already been involved in the field of sculpture."

"As far as I know, the most favorite art works among your Chinese collectors are calligraphy and painting. The high-priced ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting works listed in our auction house are basically purchased by Chinese people."

"As for sculpture, Chinese people rarely get involved. It is basically traded by us Europeans, and even the United States rarely trades."

Ye Feng certainly understood the reason:

"The reason why we Chinese like calligraphy and painting is related to our culture. Of course, a large part of the reason is that we Chinese do not like the treasures passed down by our ancestors to be lost overseas."

"As far as I know, the preservation technology of some of our Chinese antiques and calligraphy and paintings stored in your British Museum is worrying, and many of them have suffered permanent and irreparable damage."

"Since you are unwilling to preserve it properly, it is only right for us Chinese to buy it back, isn't it?"

"I just happened to collect sculptures. I do have a few pieces. If possible, I can entrust you to auction them for me!"

Boles knew that the Chinese were very angry when it came to this period of history, so he didn't say much. He just asked about Ye Feng's sculpture:

"Okay, I am also looking forward to the sculpture that Mr. Ye Feng has entrusted to us."

Ye Feng nodded, and the two said goodbye.

Powers came this time to hold an auction for Christie's, relying on the fame of Master Kulwich, a stall visited by sculpture enthusiasts and art lovers from all over Europe and even the world.

It has to be said that the category of sculpture is different from ordinary art. Except for out-of-print sculptures like"David" or"Venus de Milo", the value of other sculptures has little to do with their age.

Otherwise, Master Kulwich's"Abyss of the Gods" could not be sold at such a high price.

In the European market, the price of sculptures has always been on par with oil paintings, and it is not surprising that Powers is a little looking forward to Ye Feng's sculptures.

Ye Feng ended his tour of the museum and walked towards the exhibition hall where Master Kulvich held his sculpture exhibition.

The crowded crowd was a little sparser than before, because it was already evening and many people were about to finish their visit.

When Ye Feng walked over, he found Anna and Eva admiring a raw stone sculpture.

The sculpture was in the shape of two girls, entangled with each other, and then stretched out their hands to the sky in a pile of dead wood.

One of them had a heavy expression, while the other had a very happy expression.

The expressiveness was amazing!

Ye Feng stood behind the two of them and also admired the sculpture.

He noticed that the inscription under the sculpture read,"Works of Kulvich."——《Sinking".

Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh:

"It is indeed a masterpiece by a master!"

Anna and Eva heard Ye Feng's exclamation, turned around and saw that it was Ye Feng. Anna couldn't help but said happily:

"You're back!"

Ye Feng nodded.

Eva turned her head and said,"I thought you ran away!"

Ye Feng didn't comment, but asked Anna:

""Have you seen Nicholas and his friends?"

Anna shook her head."No, but I saw their works!"

She then pulled Ye Feng to a sculpture and said,"Look, this is Nicholas' work!"

Ye Feng looked down and saw Nicholas' name written on the base.

However, this sculpture looked like a work from the period before his transformation, and it was not very outstanding compared to his later works at Haizi Farm.

However, there were still many people watching and commenting around the sculpture, indicating that they were very optimistic about the sculpture.

"Well, it has a bit of the flavor of avant-garde works. Look at the texture of the man’s thigh in the sculpture, and the fingers that are embedded in the muscle. That kind of touch!"

"Wow, it’s amazing that you can carve something in stone that feels like skin and flesh!"

……

Such comments popped up around him from time to time.

Ye Feng's reaction was just like that. The expressiveness of this sculpture was far inferior to Master Kulvich's"Sinking". It only reached the peak in terms of"form", but it was still a little short of meaning.

Eva seemed a little indignant that such an amazing work was actually the work of someone from Ye Feng's farm. She pouted and drew circles on the side.

Anna was very happy. She knew the story of Nikolai and his wife. Now that they were finally going to become famous, she was naturally happy.

Of course, he was also happy for Ye Feng. Ye Feng successfully invested in an artist, which was not something that young people of this age could do.

Those bigwigs who call the shots in the art field are generally over fifty years old and experienced.

For example, Ma Weidu from China.

Ye Feng didn't care about these. He was looking around for Nikolai and his wife.

Nikolai and his wife asked him to raise funds to hold an exhibition in Moscow a month ago, and it was a solo exhibition, not an exhibition of famous artists.

After looking around and couldn't find it, he simply called Nikolai.

"Nikolai, where are you and Agata? Why can't I find you in Master Kulvich's exhibition hall?"

Nikolai said in a surprised voice on the other end of the phone:

"Boss? Are you in Moscow? Oh, oh, I'll be there right away! Please wait a moment!"

Eva looked at Ye Feng scrutinizingly, as if she didn't believe that he could summon the sculptor with just one phone call.

Ye Feng ignored him, but took Anna's hand and rubbed it in his palm, walking and looking. It must be said that there are indeed many excellent works in this exhibition.

After a while, Nikolai hurriedly trotted all the way from a small door in the exhibition hall!

When he came to Ye Feng, he said excitedly:

"Boss, why are you here in person? Are you here to see my exhibition?"

Ye Feng smiled and said:

"No, I just came here to accompany Anna to see her parents!"

"Apart from your most recent work, which I haven't had time to read, are there any other works you haven't read?"

Nicholas said, rubbing his head.

"That's right!"

Seeing that only Nicholas was there, Ye Feng asked:

""And Agata?"

Nicholas answered:

"Agata is accompanying Master Kulvich in the back and will come over with Master Kulvich soon. I told the master that the boss has a strong appreciation of art, and it is the boss who sponsors our artistic creation, so he decided to come and meet the boss!"

Ye Feng nodded and smiled:

"That's great, I also want to meet Master Kulvich!"
