Chapter 323 Secret
Wu Tao was also quite cunning; every time he dealt with those temporary girlfriends, he would arrange for someone to go to the hospital to help them repair their bodies.
As long as they keep quiet from now on and tell others that it was to give Wu Tao inspiration, nothing actually happened between them.
In this way, they not only received a large sum of money from Wu Tao, but also regained their happiness.
And so, a secret that everyone tacitly protected has been passed down through generations.
So much so that later on, many other top-tier beauties from wealthy families also eagerly joined Wu Tao's ten temporary girlfriends.
They didn't believe Wu Tao could actually handle ten women, since according to the information they had gathered, Wu Tao would have ten girlfriends accompany him every time he painted.
According to everyone's guess, Wu Tao must have been surrounded by beautiful women who would serve him his daily needs while he focused on painting.
Wu Tao's studio is specially decorated and spans a full 300 square meters. Inside, there is not only a spacious painting area, but also a television, game console, computer, fitness equipment, sofa, coffee table, bar counter, dining table, bathroom, large bed, and dressing room.
Here, one can enjoy everything and do everything without leaving the studio. Every time Wu Tao enters the studio, he is accompanied by ten beautiful women, who even personally deliver his three meals a day to him.
Wu Tao doesn't like being frequently interrupted while painting, so he stays in his studio for several days in a row each time, only leaving when he's completely finished.
Only when they actually came to Wu Tao's side and witnessed the monster's physical strength and the man's inhuman power did they realize how outrageous this secret was.
Wu Tao has a high level of creative passion. Aside from going to other places to collect inspiration, he usually enters his studio no less than four times a month.
Unfortunately, very few of his works actually sold, suggesting that he was too strict with his work.
If a work doesn't meet his requirements, he won't sell it even if he has to destroy it himself.
Originally, Wu Tao's works could be seen sporadically on the market, but after Wu Tao became famous for ten years, it became difficult to find even one of his works.
But a few years ago, everyone clearly heard that someone spent 30 million to buy a painting of a lady.
Or perhaps someone spent 50 million to finally acquire a painting by Wu Tao titled "Thousands of Mountains, No Birds in Flight".
Anyway, every few years people would hear that one of Wu Tao's paintings had been sold, but the price always increased.
Ten million was the old almanac, twenty million, thirty million, fifty million, and later I heard it became sixty million, eighty million.
Later on, no one heard of the latest prices, nor could they find his latest paintings.
It wasn't until one day at a top auction house abroad that someone offered $15 million to buy one of Wu Tao's new works.
This is currently the most expensive painting by a living artist in the world.
This also made everyone realize that the value of one of Wu Tao's works now exceeds 100 million Chinese yuan.
Even without considering international exchange rate differences, acquiring Wu Tao's work for 100 million Xia Guo RMB would definitely be a profitable deal.
As a result, many people started asking around to find out who had Wu Tao's early works, hoping to snag a bargain and make a quick buck.
Unfortunately, after making inquiries for a long time, they found that no one was willing to put their works up for sale.
It seems that everyone agrees that the future value of Wu Tao's works will definitely exceed 100 million Xia Guo RMB.
In fact, they really misunderstood. Everyone thought that no one wanted to take it out, and that everyone was hiding it to save for their descendants.
In fact, by this time, Wu Tao had already privately raised prices and bought all of his previous works for himself.
The only piece of his work was given to a spoiled rich kid by Wu Tao through certain means.
Sure enough, after this spoiled brat squandered his family fortune, he discovered that he actually had a work by Wu Tao in his collection room.
So the young scion immediately announced it to the world, and everyone flocked to his house. After experts examined it and confirmed it was a genuine work by Wu Tao, bidding began on the spot.
After several rounds of bidding, the artwork was eventually acquired by a collector for 120 million Xia Guo coins.
This marks the first time in China that someone has broken the price record for Wu Tao's work, following the sale of his work for US$15 million at an international auction house.
It seems that everyone now accepts that any work by Wu Tao that sells for less than 100 million is a steal.
From the start of his art exhibitions to today, Wu Tao has spent thirteen years, and on his forty-second birthday, the price of his works officially exceeded one hundred million Chinese yuan.
Scarcity increases value, and Wu Tao understands this principle well. Even though his works have reached a value of 100 million, Wu Tao still hasn't sold any of his works.
Occasionally, I only have to put out a piece of my work when old friends pester me.
When Wu Tao passed away at the age of one hundred, there were actually fewer than one hundred of his works circulating outside.
On the contrary, there are more than 300 of Wu Tao's works inside the Haitao International Cultural Exhibition Hall.
However, according to Wu Tao's last wishes, his works would only be allowed to be sold if the Wu family were to suffer a major disaster such as the destruction of the family and the death of its members.
Many years from now, Master Wu Tao's works will continue to be highly sought after by collectors who love classical paintings.
Every piece of Wu Tao's work that appears on the market is quickly snapped up at a high price.
At that time, each artwork was already priced at hundreds of millions of US dollars.
Wu Tao used some of his tricks to raise the price of his work to 100 million Xia Guo RMB.
Some people suspect that Wu Tao is promoting himself, but he is different from other painters who promote themselves to quickly monetize their works.
Wu Tao, however, is not short of money; he actually recouped his investment in his works from the market with real cash.
Others don't know how much wealth Wu Tao truly possesses; they only see that his works have been bought back by others at high prices.
When someone finally tries to snag a bargain, they find everyone is holding back and unwilling to make a move.
They clearly know that many people have Wu Tao's works, yet everyone insists that they don't.
The truth is that Wu Tao always had other well-known people buy the shares first, so he arranged for someone to buy them back to him at a high price in the end.
It may seem like he wasted money here, but in fact he only used 100 million to operate from beginning to end.
After he hyped up his work to 100 million Xia Guo RMB, there were no more works on the market besides the two he intentionally released.
Then he held the plate still until everyone's patience was almost exhausted, and finally released two works.
This caused the market to be thrown into disarray by blindly following the crowd, leaving even the rational ones unable to think things through.
Once both works were sold for over 100 million Xia Guo RMB, no one doubted whether Wu Tao's works were truly worth 100 million Xia Guo RMB.
The issue now isn't whether you think it's worth it or not; it's that even if you wanted to spend money, you couldn't buy the work.
