Chapter 300 Bits and Pieces
For specific auction matters, Yang Chengzhang will contact you.
Even the signature is the same y as the Riddler, so there is no need for Li Yan to show his face - he couldn't show his face during the auction anyway.
He is like a student waiting for his grades. He only needs to wait for Yang Chengzhang to tell him how much he sold for one day.
The difference is that if the score of this "exam" fails, Li Yan can scold the teacher for not knowing how to correct the test.
According to Yang Chengzhang, there are only three types of people who will actually buy at every auction: collectors, buyers, and local tycoons.
Collectors and buyers basically emphasize the value of paintings. Although loving paintings can be regarded as the basic foundation, in essence, it is still a business.
It can be said that they are completely indifferent to unknown writers like Li Yan who suddenly appeared.
So potential buyers are basically rich people who are not short of money.
I was thinking about buying a good-looking painting that I like and displaying it at home. Anyway, it’s not bad enough to go to auction, and I don’t want to sell it to preserve its value.
No, if you buy this painting by Li Yan, it means you have the best taste in the world. How can you still be called a "local" tycoon?
I don’t know why, but Li Yan suddenly had a magical idea in his mind.
Is it possible that Wei Yunzhi’s father appears in this store?
As a big local boss, he must meet the conditions for being rich.
If you are interested in literature and art... look what kind of wife he married, a female poet!
This is really not a small probability event.
If he could think of his daughter wearing a sapphire blue dress and performing at a cultural performance...
"Which brat wants to take advantage of my precious daughter?"
Li Yan woke up from his fantasy. He really couldn't tell whether he wanted such a dramatic thing to happen.
But even if it happens, he has nothing to fear.
The question "whether you deserve it or not" should be asked to others.
I am a man who wants to be a god.
The auction should be scheduled for the end of October.
Li Yan also had doubts about this. How could he be given a chance to appear so quickly when he obviously didn't have much to show off.
As a result, Yang Chengzhang said: "Only those with status need to schedule. Every auction has works of multiple grades. Newcomers like you, whose new works are not endorsed, are basically for volume. No. There will be some introduction, a batch will be hung there, and the price will be low. Generally, two or three out of seven or eight will get bids, and the bidding will be over after two or three rounds at most.”
Li Yan could make the arrogant Red Dragon "rush on time", which was indeed a loss of Yang Chengzhang's face.
After the auction ended at the end of October, it was time for Li Yan to leave her roommates and go to Beijing for training.
It’s really one link after another.
There are only two-thirds of October left. In these half months, Li Yan did not do any complete big things, but did a lot of small and piecemeal things.
The first is the debut of Weibo. Everyone’s enthusiasm for using Weibo is gradually increasing. Almost everyone in the class has an account to record the scars of youth. Li Yan’s account has nearly 8,000 fans. It’s time to post your first Weibo post.
Why haven't you posted it for so long?
Because he didn’t think about how to show off.
For Li Yan now, it is actually very easy to show off, just change the results.
Just the certificate of first place in the Qingxin Olympiad National Competition will probably get a lot of comments and forwarding volume.
But this is too deliberate.
It goes against Li Yan’s pretentious aesthetics.
A hero does not mention his former bravery. It is his ability to let everyone spread the word in private.
Are there any handsome photos...
No, Li Yan thought of the "fan group" where Lin Zhiyuan was an undercover, and suddenly got goosebumps.
After much thought, Li Yan wrote a line of hard-pen calligraphy:
"Everyone is a crazy author, who can understand it?"
Then he took a photo with his new camera and posted his first Weibo post.
In just one night, the information prompt bar showed a red dot of 99+. Li Yan admitted that he deliberately stopped watching it all night.
What’s even scarier is that the private messages are also 99+… As soon as I clicked on it, there were several accounts with girls’ avatars introducing themselves.
Forget about introducing yourself, what’s the point of taking a non-mainstream selfie?
Of course there are some who attack Li Yan out of nowhere. Li Yan smiled, collected some screenshots, and posted his second Weibo post:
"Whose family is this? "
Then he closed the webpage, who cares about the flood?
If you want to be stupid, just quarrel with others. Mr. Li will give you a chance to show off.
I'm not yet a minor, let alone a social celebrity, and I don't know the personal information of these trolls, so don't label me as someone who leads online violence.
However, at this time in 2009, there were not many ideas about leading cyber violence and occupying social resources. It was relatively free and original.
It doesn’t matter, some bad seeds should pay a price.
Li is still a little vindictive.
Another trivial matter is "Four Kings Bring Three" - the name of the group was changed by Chen Fan because he was killed by four other brothers in a Landlord fight - people in the group have been clamoring for it Put the geek community website online.
At present, it is basically a pure computer experience sharing website, which can be regarded as a forum for special content. The website itself is indeed not difficult, and the value mainly lies in the people behind it.
The four-member national team that represented China in the International Youth Informatics Olympiad in 2010.
It still has some gold content, and it will be even more valuable in a few years - but it is hard to say whether these people have time to operate the website at that time.
They are currently only planning to use it as an internal data sharing site, so there are no requirements.
Except for Li Yan, he really couldn’t stand pages with no artistic content.
So he submitted a "website ui" to the group.
Everyone is lamenting Li Yan’s ability to find materials.
Then Li Yan asked doubtfully: "I should have told you that I would paint, right?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. This whole set of designs seemed to be the same as the "painting" they imagined. Not quite the same.
I originally thought Li Yan was just a background image or something.
"It's still vector graphics? You can also do this?" He Zixiang was surprised.
“Just change the software.” Li Yan replied.
Chen Fan in the dormitory was very surprised and went directly to Li Yan's computer, "Don't you always use PS? When will you do vector work? I've never seen you use it before."
"It's true that I didn't use it before, but it's not necessary for UI design." Li Yan said very matter of factly.
For 60% of software technologies, it is really easy and satisfying to learn how to get started and use them.
Coupled with his strong memory, he can basically master the tutorial video after watching it once.
During the actual operation, I understood the essence of some operations and summarized them. It does not take much time to fully understand a software.
At most, some advanced niche operations have not been discovered yet - but when it comes time to use them, it only takes a day to learn them.
That night, everyone communicated wildly on the QQ group. Li Yan was responsible for producing various art materials, and others were responsible for getting them into the website.
In just one night, the website changed from "student homework" to "technology company homepage".
On the matter of art, the four people who knew nothing did not dare to raise any opinions with Li Yan.
Mainly because Li Yan said, "Everyone has more suggestions," and cited his incomparably profound knowledge of aesthetics to push back his opinions.
After the website was completed, it was time for Chen Fan to tell stories.
Today’s theme is “What kind of psychological quality does it take to be Li Yan’s roommate?”
