Chapter 265

Captain Zhao smiled involuntarily: "well, there are not many works of art in our hands. Compared with other civilizations, it is really not up to grade like Earth steamed stuffed bun."

Because it was not a formal meeting, he joked: "that is to say, a hick like us who doesn't understand art may feel like a nouveau riche?"

"Not impossible..."

Another vice captain surnamed Zheng also joked: "Zhang Yuan, the painting given to you by the painter Elvin may be the most high-grade one in our spacecraft. If you want to act as decorations at that time, you have to lend it to us... Of course, just borrow it. It will certainly be returned and pay your rent."

Zhang Yuan also smiled twice.

However... The facade, self-cultivation and inside information of a civilization cannot be decorated by a painting

After everyone calmed down, Zhang Yuan continued: "there are so many civilizations in the universe. Each civilization has the art of each civilization. If there are many, there will be high and low. So the problem is, according to the pure view of mankind, those high-value interstellar works of art must have extremely demanding requirements and can not be the goods of rotten streets. "

Some of the experts frowned, "it sounds reasonable... However, Mr. Zhang Yuan, do you have any meaning for us to discuss interstellar art here? Do the Gliese want to trade with us with their art? It obviously doesn't work. Even if works of art do have value, we can't distinguish this value. "

They don't understand why Zhang Yuan suddenly shifted the topic to art. This is not the point at all!

"No, listen to me!"

Since Zhang Yuan said so, they just endured patience and continued to listen.

To judge the value of a work of art, of course, the first thing is the artistic quality, including the feelings contained therein, the meaning expressed, the artistic level presented and other virtual things... These things are not good, but they depend on personal preferences.

"According to the vision of our human artists, their artistic level is quite good, that is to say, the feelings contained therein have certain commonality."

Secondly, the civilization that created this work of art must have a long culture... Whether it is the struggle history rising all the way or the tragic rough history, these histories must have enough story.

There must be a story to have enough charm. Artists on earth, Picasso and Van Gogh, each have their own unique story.

"Since it is an interstellar art, it requires not only artists to have stories, but also the stories of the whole civilization to be interesting enough."

"Gliese civilization undoubtedly meets these requirements. It was not easy to be inspired by an alien civilization, but it got stuck because there was no oxygen. "

"A great tragedy!"

Finally, of course, there are various additional conditions. For interstellar civilization, forging a work of art is simply too simple. These additional conditions are all anti-counterfeiting information.

For example, this work of art can find a clear place of production, not black goods, but a bright future; There must be a clear transaction record, and things robbed from a corner are not recognized.

The lack of any anti-counterfeiting information will greatly reduce the transaction value of this artwork.

Li Zhendong added: "art, high-end and high-grade things are civilized and elegant, and can't contain any stains. So there was no looting or anything like that. Of course, it is also possible that the star merchant cherished his feathers and did not directly bully the Gliese civilization anyway. "

And one last thing

It's better to be an orphan!

This is

The real point!

Zhang Yuan said word by word: "... In other words, the complete extinction of the civilization that created the art, or the inability to reproduce similar art for various reasons, will greatly increase the value of existing art."

"Rare things are more expensive, which is an inevitable event. When an artist is alive, the price of works of art will not be too high, because similar art can be produced continuously. Only when he dies will the price really rise. "

When this point is discussed, the whole answer is ready!

For a moment, the whole conference room was silent!

Why did the star merchant do this?

What is its motivation?

Why give 13 universal factories?!

Because of kindness, compassion, compassion?

No, none of them!!

Those sleepy professors suddenly contracted their pupils and thought of an extremely evil possibility!

Fifty thousand years ago, an interstellar merchant passed by and found the Gliese civilization stuck in the "power age".

After a deal between the two sides, the interstellar merchant said very "generously" that he could not only help Gliese civilization complete electrification, but also give 13 universal factories to Gliese people to live a better life.

You get what you want, I get what I want, both sides are happy

The star merchant left, as if he had only done a trivial thing. No one condemns them. Even if they know, they will sincerely praise - what a helpful, kind, friendly and generous civilization.

The weak and ignorant Gliese were really grateful and tearful. They were enthusiastic, trembling and praising one by one.

"How... How lucky we are!"

However, the next history is doomed!

In front of the huge productivity that is difficult to control, they jump into the fire pit without hesitation. The flame, what a beautiful thing, is a legend, a myth and an existence unimaginable in a dream.

Inadvertently, the whole person has been burning. Even they don't know it, they are still sincerely praising, praising the generous alien civilization and praising from the heart.

They don't know that they have been burned to ashes by the raging flame!

Finally, there is only a pile of residue that will never change, witnessing this history as the "anti-counterfeiting mark" of this transaction!

Zhang Yuan said in a low voice: "in this way, they can no longer create similar art."

"The prices of those traded goods naturally rise, don't they?"

"This is what we speculate that the interstellar merchant's real motivation to donate 13 universal factories!"

In the dim starry sky, it seems that a pair of ruthless eyes have broken the so-called morality, benevolence, righteousness and etiquette.

I'm sorry, in order to make this transaction more valuable

Please,

go to hell.
