Chapter 322 A Good Life
One of Wu Tao's paintings is now being offered for a collection price of ten million yuan.
This was also a scene that Wu Tao directed and acted in himself.
After he personally spent ten million to buy back one of his earlier works, everyone seemed to start to accept that Wu Tao's works were worth ten million.
Just like when he held his first art exhibition and asked people to buy his paintings, sometimes an artist needs some tricks to become famous quickly.
Wu Tao did not feel that he was cheating; his skills were indeed no different from those of a master.
Even in early works, the charm they contain needs to be discovered gradually.
On the one hand, Wu Tao is collecting his early works to elevate the quality of his own work; on the other hand, he also wants to collect those paintings as historical artifacts.
It is believed that these works will sell for more than their truly masterpieces hundreds of years from now.
At that time, everyone can study Wu Tao's early works to learn the secrets to his great success.
With a painting selling for ten million, Wu Tao is already among the top tier of living painters.
The more this is the case, the more Wu Tao cherishes the quantity of his works.
Nowadays, money alone is not enough to get your own work; you can only get it from Wu Tao if the other party has certain connections.
These are some of Wu Tao's little tricks. He not only used these methods to improve his own status, but also made many people feel respected by him.
Because Wu Tao sells so few works, the value of his works continues to increase.
Those who have just acquired the works can easily sell them for a few million more, which will greatly boost Wu Tao's fame once again.
This kind of hype has also made many people truly realize the value of Wu Tao's works.
Apart from the first time, subsequent price increases were initiated by other people.
Wu Tao was well aware of this; regardless of the reason, his current status was indeed different.
No one expected that after Wu Tao truly became famous, no more than ten of his works would circulate outside the public.
Through selling and buying, Wu Tao seemed to have spent a lot of money, but in the end, he actually made more than 20 million yuan.
The key is that by using these methods, he has now become one of the few master-level classical painters in China.
Even the art academy where Wu Tao once studied personally extended an invitation to him, hoping that he could join the school as a teacher.
Some school leaders even suggested directly granting Wu Tao the title of associate professor.
Wu Tao politely declined the school's invitation, as he didn't need to improve his status through such means.
Today, he has long been recognized by the public as a top master of classical painting. Especially in the capital market, anyone who can acquire Wu Tao's works will immediately be willing to pay ten million yuan to buy them.
Or if ten million isn't enough, they can discuss the specific value based on the work.
Ten million is the lower limit that people give to Wu Tao's works; there is no accurate data yet on the highest amount.
Wu Tao wasn't in a hurry. In just three years, he had already sold his works from being worthless to selling one million, five million, and then ten million.
At this point, he needs time to build up his reputation, and he also needs to give the outside world some time to evaluate the value of his work.
Once everyone truly understands the value of their work, and then presents relatively good new works, the value of those works can be further increased.
Wu Tao has an ambition: when one of his works can sell for 100 million Xia Guo RMB, he will truly become a master.
In this life, he transmigrated and didn't want to leave behind a reputation as a business genius. Whether it was founding Black Sky Capital or buying internet company stock, it was all about accumulating initial capital.
What Wu Tao truly values is the Haitao International Cultural Exhibition Hall, which will become a museum of his personal works in the future.
Wu Tao now often practices painting at home, and all his completed works are stored in his personal space.
From initial awkwardness to gradual growth and finally to great success, Wu Tao intentionally uses certain techniques in his works to help people find their own growth journey.
In fact, he could have produced a masterpiece much earlier, but that would have scared people away.
In addition, Wu Tao also wanted to see if he could advance further at the Dacheng level.
I wouldn't dare say I'm detached, but I must truly infuse my own emotions and insights into my work.
Wu Tao is determined to dedicate his life to painting. Of course, enjoying life is also his favorite pastime.
With a large investment of money, fine food, fine wine, and beautiful women, these material pleasures naturally flowed continuously into Wu Tao's life.
Wu Tao has never shown his god-level culinary skills in his life, but now there are three top chefs cooking for him at the Longteng Manor villa.
The price of fine wines ranges from a few hundred yuan, a few thousand yuan, tens of thousands of yuan to hundreds of thousands of yuan.
There's a winery in the basement of Longteng Manor, and they're slowly replenishing their stock.
As for beautiful women, that's even simpler; Wu Tao has been playing the fast food game all his life.
As long as the girl accompanies you through your youth for a year, the year will be up.
In addition to the agreed-upon monthly fee of 30,000 yuan, Wu Tao would also provide 200,000 yuan as a breakup fee.
Every year, Wu Tao would have ten beautiful women with ratings above six points come to his side.
This six-point scale refers not only to appearance, but also to physical appearance, talents and skills, personality traits and other evaluation criteria.
If one beautiful woman is worth around 500,000, then ten beautiful women would cost 5 million a year.
With fine wines and gourmet food included, Wu Tao's annual spending would not be less than ten million.
The salaries and bonuses of the dozen or so bodyguards around him were paid by the property management company of Haitao International Cultural Exhibition Hall.
In addition to normal expenses, Haitao International Cultural Exhibition Hall can bring Wu Tao a net profit of more than 30 million yuan every year.
With this 30 million, Wu Tao can enjoy his life to the fullest.
If any of his ten temporary girlfriends could make Wu Tao happy, he would generously give them jewelry.
Once, while painting, Wu Tao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and created a work that surpassed all his previous achievements.
Wu Tao was so happy that day that he took ten beautiful women to the most upscale jewelry store in Beijing.
On that day, Wu Tao waved his hand and told everyone to choose jewelry with a limit of 500,000 yuan.
On that day, Wu Tao paid five million yuan for the jewelry in one go, leaving behind a legend in the jewelry store.
Wu Tao finds it quite amusing to indulge in a little bit of impulsiveness now and then.
Crucially, such a generous gesture also spread Wu Tao's reputation for being magnanimous, which made everyone more enthusiastic when he looked for a temporary girlfriend each year.
Wu Tao's romantic escapades naturally became a topic of conversation among the public, and people seemed not to be averse to such gossip about famous figures.
Many people even think that Wu Tao might need to find inspiration for his paintings by looking at different beautiful women.
They simply couldn't believe that Wu Tao could actually sleep with ten beautiful women every year.
