"Please bring the latest month's newspapers to my room." Zhang Junping said to the front desk in fluent French.

In this era, if you want to understand current affairs and find business opportunities, you can only read newspapers.

Find the information you want among thousands of information.

The front desk quickly delivered the newspaper to Zhang Junpingxiao's room.

Business suites are second only to presidential suites, and those who can stay in business suites are VIPs.

Naturally, we try our best to meet the requirements of VIPs.

Zhang Junping took a dozen thick newspapers and rewarded the waiter with twenty French francs.

After sending the waiter away, Zhang Junping began to read the newspaper.

After flipping through it for a while, Zhang Junping's expression turned strange.

He is indeed a veteran art dealer, and his grasp of business opportunities is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.

This can no longer be said to be about seizing business opportunities, but about creating business opportunities.

Turn passivity into initiative.

When Zhang Junping came to Paris last year, he sold more than 300 oil paintings that he imitated.

Originally, I planned to trick these French art dealers and get some funds for myself.

As for why you want to cheat them.

From the Chinese perspective, none of these French art dealers are innocent. Every art dealer is a robber to the Chinese.

They are all shameless thieves and descendants of robbers.

I just didn't expect it. These art dealers were indeed very cunning. Although they were deceived, they did not suffer any loss.

Not only did he not suffer any loss, but he also made a huge profit.

Of course, Zhang Junping did not suffer any loss. He not only gained hundreds of millions of dollars in funds, but also gained fame.

At this time, Pingfang has become the code name of a newly famous artist.

It is highly sought after by collectors in Europe and the United States.

After flipping through the newspaper for a while, Zhang Junping put it down and held his chin, thinking about how to make use of the news.

How to maximize benefits.

It is no longer realistic to just take your imitation oil paintings and sell them in galleries.

Nowadays, when you see paintings by Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, Rubens, Rembrandt, Harmansson van Rijn, and Paul Cézanne in a gallery, the first thing you do is check to see if they are imitations.

It’s not a copycat, look at other products and then discuss the price.

Zhang Junping did bring many oil paintings with him to Paris, France this time, as well as many Chinese landscape paintings.

But these works do not have pseudonyms, but are directly signed.

I don’t know if the gallery will recognize the paintings under my real name.

Zhang Junping was thinking about how to start his work in Paris, and the doorbell rang outside.

Zhang Junping stood up and opened the door.

I saw Lao Qin, Niu Wensheng, Chen Lijun, Zheng Dongmei and others standing outside.

Zhang Junping let them into the room and asked with a smile: "Have you all rested?"

"Manager, we still have time to sleep! We took a shower, changed clothes, and then watched TV in the room."

"How is it? Is French TV good?" Zhang Junping asked narrowly.

Sure enough, when Zhang Junping asked, Chen Lijun, Zheng Dongmei and other women all turned blushing, and Niu Wensheng and others also looked embarrassed.

"Bah! This foreign devil's TV is so shameless." Wang Fenglan spat and cursed with a smile.

"Hahaha!" Zhang Junping burst into laughter.

Paris, France, is known as the most romantic country in the world. It is full of art, fashion and hormones.

The TV series they film, even if they are just ordinary TV series, cannot avoid some scenes of intimacy between men and women.

This is normal for the French.

On the street, we often encounter people kissing passionately in the street.

This is just a way for people to express their feelings.

However, in the eyes of Chinese people of this era, it is immoral and unsightly.

However, looking at everyone's expressions, Zhang Junping knew that although he was critical in words, he was honest in action and was fascinated by what he saw.

This is actually the same as when pornographic videos were first introduced into the country in the mid-to-late 1990s.

Many people criticize this kind of vulgar movie, but they can't help but watch it.

At the beginning, a group of men and women gathered together to watch and discuss with each other openly.

This has nothing to do with age, gender, or knowledge level, it is completely human nature.

"Manager, aren't you watching TV?" Lu Zhaode asked in surprise when he saw the newspapers scattered on the coffee table.

"No, I'm not interested in TV series or anything like that. I asked for the Paris newspapers from the past month and studied them.

As the saying goes, if you know your enemy and know yourself, you will never be in danger." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they were all in awe. The manager was worthy of being a manager, and he considered the issue far-reachingly.

"Manager, can you understand these French newspapers?" Lou Xinying was even more surprised.

Lou Xinying once studied in France and knows French.

"Of course I understand!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

In fact, Zhang Junping had already revealed that he knew French when he was at Charles de Gaulle Airport.

But at that time, everyone had just set foot on French soil, everything was in chaos, and no one paid attention to this matter, thinking that Zhang Junping was speaking English.

"Manager, how many foreign languages ​​do you know?" Zheng Dongmei also asked in surprise.

Everyone in the Materials Bureau knows that Zhang Junping is proficient in Russian.

"Japan, Russia, England, France, Germany, Italy, Latin, Greece... about ten of them!" Zhang Junping said casually.

"Ten...ten doors?" Everyone looked at Zhang Junping as if he were a God. Is this still a human being?

They all find it so difficult to learn a foreign language, but some people are proficient in more than a dozen foreign languages.

Zhang Junping does not feel that it is too outrageous to master more than a dozen foreign languages.

He only mastered a dozen foreign languages ​​​​with his own hands. A spokesman in later generations could master seventeen foreign languages ​​​​without any plug-ins.

Compared with others, I am really ordinary.

In the evening, Zhang Junping took everyone to a Michelin three-star restaurant and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

When everyone decided to go abroad, they secretly went to Lao Mo to learn about Western food culture.

This time, it finally came in handy.

After dinner, it was still early. Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Zhang Junping took everyone to the Champs Elysées.

The Champs Elysées has very long business hours, and this time is when their business is at its best.

"Everyone, take a good look and study hard. We will also open two art stores on the Champs Elysées in the future.

A gallery specializing in calligraphy and painting, and an art store selling various handicrafts." Walking on the Champs Elysées, Zhang Junping explained to everyone in a soft voice.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded excitedly in agreement.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lou, please collect more magazines related to European and American art these days to see how they promote art and luxury goods." Zhang Junping told Lu Zhaode and Lou Xinying.

"I understand, manager!" Lu Zhaode and Lou Xinying nodded.

"Let's go!" Zhang Junping took the lead and entered a watch shop.

"How can I help you, sir?" A clerk greeted Zhang Junping and his group and said enthusiastically but not flatteringly.

"Thank you, let's take a look casually." Zhang Junping replied in French.

The more luxury stores are, the higher the quality of the clerks, and there will be no such thing as: What are you looking at, country bumpkin, poor guy, I can't afford it even if I sell you, get out of here, don't pollute the environment here.

This kind of bloody plot will never happen.

Maybe deep down, they really look down on you, but they will never say it out loud.

Needless to say, most people will automatically back off if I show you the price of the product.

That string of zeros can make people dizzy.

When Zhang Junping said he wanted to take a look, he meant to tell the other party that he didn't want to buy anything, but just came to have a look and open his eyes.

There are many such situations.

Paris is originally a tourist city with many tourists. Most tourists cannot afford it, but it does not prevent them from seeing it and gaining insights.

In this regard, these luxury stores are very welcoming.

According to relevant research, the vast majority of buyers of fashion and luxury magazines such as "ELLE", "Harper's Bazaar", "Marie Claire", "Numero" and so on are those who cannot afford luxury goods.

What’s even more interesting is that the people who put luxury goods on the pedestal are those who can’t afford them.

Therefore, foreign luxury stores will never refuse visits by ordinary tourists.

Zhang Junping took everyone around the Rolex store and let everyone feel the atmosphere of a luxury store.

"Do you have anything you want to buy?" Zhang Junping asked in a low voice.

Everyone shook their heads.

Just kidding, even if I sell them, I can't afford the cheapest watch in this store.

Zhang Junping didn't say anything more and led everyone out of the Rolex store.
