Chapter 264

[264] Covert Gallery 2 "Ah, you can buy some works from other places so that you do not give the impression that you buy only your works when you contact Sunyang Gallery. You do not have to worry about the cost. "

"Can I excuse you for a moment?"

Bet Porter hurried out of his hand. The two men came back after talking for a dozen.

"I'm sorry, Howard. I was a little rude. "

"Afraid not." Sure. I told everyone I was embarrassed. "

"Only one. If I can not buy the works of Sunyang Gallery, will the support of Wentworth Art Gallery be lost? "

"You said that already? I am an outsider in art. It will not happen. "

Bet Porter bites his lips.

It is clear that there are some conditions in the digestion.

Finally, It would be a private question, would it be okay? "

"Tell me. If it's a difficult question to answer, I will not comment. "

"I heard Howard was the owner family of the Sunyang Group. Sunyang Gallery is also a foundation run by the group. But why are you doing this complicatedly? "

"It's a complicated family problem. "

She looked at my smile and shrugged.

Okay Let's try it. "

"Not that much."

Four

"Have you tried it? So, I do not even get a strange answer when I approach the Sungyang Gallery with my heart. A perfect plan without a single needle hole will unlock the barn gallery. The things that sit behind the name Sunyang are all monsters. "

I lift my finger and pointed at me.

"Look at me, do I look like a common man?"

* * * "What did you just say outside?"

"I asked what your identity was."

"So what did you say?"

"I did not have any doubts, but I told them to do what I wanted. Then he told me that life would change. "

"Do you think I'll follow Rachel?"

Maybe No, almost. "

"Why are you so sure?"

"Bet Porter, there is skill at the bottom and ambitious is not normal. I just did not get lucky yet. Art is a little conservative, but she's a little radical. "

"I am wrapping up the unusual tendency in money."

"I do not care much anyway. No matter how successful the gallery is, you will be able to make a profit at the pocket money level. "

"My allowance is not long. I do not have time to spend money. "

Rachel's words were true. For his ambition, Bet Porter set up a tight schedule without any delay, and immediately put it into practice.

The first was rumors.

The Wentworth Art Gallery met with tremendous patrons and rumored that it would not be a dream to grow to the size of three fingers in a private gallery, even though it was far from the New York Metropolitan Museum.

As well as supporting rumors, galleries around the world as well as the United States received an email from the Wentworth Art Gallery.

A collection of works you want to buy among the collections of each gallery is also included.

I can not fool around like this. It is common knowledge that Wentworth Art Gallery as well as Bet Porter are buried in this industry if you just stab at it and check the price.

Of course, Sungyang Gallery received the same mail.

* * * Sunyang Gallery did not care much because of mail. The authenticity was checked and confirmed by Sunyang Group New York corporation.

"This is a new change in the sense that I'll look at."

OK. If you are already told that the rumor is already on the floor of New York, it would be a formal offer. "

"But the president will sell the painting? Can not anyone nurture the desire for art? "

"I still have to see it. Did not you always say that you are like a fool? Please report the suggestion to buy a painting. So that we can see the actual present value of the work. "

"Then I'll take a look. Elizabeth Porter says she has a good reputation in New York. It would not be too bad to have a relationship with our gallery on this occasion. "

They posted the survey and e-mail of the New York corporation to the Foundation's chairman, Lee Pil-ok.

Lee opened the gallery rather than paying close attention to the report of the gallery director.

Pretty sure? We want to buy a picture? Do you have the ability to live? "

"It looks like that. It's a fact confirmed by a New York corporation. "

Really? Okay, look out. "

"Yeah. The president. "

As soon as the head of the operating division bowed her head, Mr. Lee picked up the intercom.

"Tell the secretary to come in."

Less than a minute later, a forty man walked in and bowed his back.

"Did you find it?"

"Look at this."

She pushed out the report.

Song secretary carefully checked the e-mail and listened to his head.

Why not? Is not it okay? "

"President. It's already sold out of this list … "

Song secretary put his voice down.

Learn So make a list of what we have. Pick out the value. "

Four

The Song secretary tried to leave, but Mr. Lee 's instructions did not end.

"Should I go to New York? Meet the manger who knows the porter or the truck that sent the mail there. We also check to see if we accept our terms. "

"Yeah. The president. "

When the Song secretary left, her face turned black. I wanted to take advantage of this occasion when the proper water pitcher appeared.

* * * "I was waiting. Mr. Song. How was your flight? "

"It was good. Thank you so much for your hospitality. "

Bet Porter did not expect to see such a quick response at Sunyang Gallery.

I just guessed that the reason I rushed enough to meet and discuss it in person was a complicated matter as Jindo Jun said.

"It's pretty aggressive in buying art, is it a gallery policy?"

"It would be an accurate expression to be born again rather than a policy. There was a full-fledged supporter. "

In her explanation, Song 's eyes gleamed.

"Could you tell me who the sponsor is?"

As soon as I saw Bet Porter, my eyes touched up because of this man who said that he was interrogating.

"I'm afraid I can not tell you that. It's strange. The place to buy paintings is not our sponsors but our gallery. "

"Oh, excuse me. In fact, we are selling works only to individuals. "

"Is not it a well known fact that you are a key customer of the gallery? Do you intend to trade with our sponsors through us? "

"Except, yes. Is it possible?

Bad Potter was difficult to understand. Anyway, the purchase price of the painting comes through the sponsor. Is not it the same if donors donate pictures to the gallery even if they deal directly with the sponsors?

This man, who has flown away from Korea, is just talking meaningless now.

The only difference between galleries and private transactions is whether they hang pictures in public places or private spaces.

Bad Porter finally noticed the deal he wanted.

Probably… Is it impossible to publicize the picture, and is the secret of the transaction? "

The secretary 's expression brightened.

Precisely so. That's what we want. "

"It's also a common condition in personal transactions."

Numerous works of art disappear in this way.

If so, even if we buy it, it means that there is no problem if we keep the condition. "

"Yes, but can the gallery not publicize?"

"The board should discuss it, but it is not impossible. The works of Sunyang Gallery are a masterpiece. If you think about conservation … "

When she responded positively, Song assisted the conversation a little further.

"Would you like to see this one?"

He pulled a thick file from the bag.

"Some of the works you requested can not be sold. List of works available for sale. Please review."

When Brett Porter picked up the list, Song secretary bowed lightly.

"So please contact me at the conclusion. How long will it take? "

"I'll let you know by noon at the latest. Would it be okay?"

Absolutely. Sure!

As the Song secretary left, Bet Porter sighed briefly.

I wondered what was happening in a Korean company famous for its mobile phone.

* * * "That's also the condition."

The terms of the deal, which Betpotter gave us, proved that the report of Woo Byungjun was true.

How many pieces of artwork are kept in the storehouse of Sungyang Gallery? I can assure you that the works of hundreds of millions of won, which take a while to take place during the special exhibition.

"Let's look at the list that came from you."

I compared it with the list of works of Sungyang Gallery, which was investigated by Woo Byungjun, and handed it to Bet Porter.

"I do not think it will be sold by Sunyang Gallery. How much is it worth?"

As she looked up the list with her fingers, she could not keep her mouth shut. When her moving finger stopped, she shook her head.

"Nobody can predict the winning bid for these works if they're on an auction right now in Christi. If the auction is held at one o'clock one day, the competition of the world-wide codes will become stronger and we will go to the ceiling. "

"I did not ask for the exact price. Let me know the approximate guess. "

She fell back in thought and finally came out of her mouth.

"At least two billion dollars."

I have already sold a long time ago, so even if I only hold half, my grandmother spent over a trillion won in stocks. Now I have to try all my grandmother's hidden property.

"So how much would it cost to buy all the works from Sunyang Gallery?"

She was amazed once again when she looked at me with a twinkle in her eyes, not to mention the two billion dollars.

"all?"

"Yeah. Of course you can offer the price from there, but you can not accept it unconditionally? So the deal should not break, think about the most optimal amount. "

"Six hundred million dollars."

I do not hesitate to answer whether I have already finished the calculation.

"Let's buy it all."

I did not hesitate.

Bet Porter was a surprised and happy expression, but I immediately braked.

"Wait, Beth. This is not a donation. The picture buyer is Miracle or I will be. It is just a free form to rent to the Wentworth Art Gallery. I have to do this exactly. "

She was disappointed in her expression, but this also nodded her hair, which is a common way of giving.

But soon he frowned.

Ooops! What does it all mean because our gallery does not exhibit even if it receives them? "

Her sad heart was told.

Is not someone who thinks that it is a profanity of a work to merely lock a masterpiece and keep it in the underground?

I laughed quietly at her.

"It's a year long. After a year, I'll make them work out to the world. "

“Are you sure?”

Absolutely. But before that, should we make a deal? "

"If you accept that condition, the deal is no more than a fulfillment."

"First time to deal … . I have heard that condition and now I have to present this condition too. "

Her confused feelings were revealed in my face.
