Chapter 384 Cooperation
On the second day after the art exhibition, Liang En and the others went to the airport to pick up the lawyer who came from London, and then drove to an artist colony on the edge of the city.
This place was originally an old industrial area in downtown Dublin. After the factory closed down more than 20 years ago, it was transformed into an area where artists gather, and a series of supportive policies were given.
Therefore, this old industrial area is now full of vitality again, and has even become one of the largest artist gathering areas in Ireland. Many fledgling artists will choose this place as the start of their career.
The workshop of Paul and his family is also opened in this place. It seems that it should be a newly partitioned compartment in the factory building in the past. Through the glass door, it can be seen that the area is not too large, and it is filled with various tools and raw materials. Packed to the brim.
"Sorry, it's still a bit of a mess here." After seeing Liang En and the others coming, Maria quickly opened the door to welcome them in, and beckoned them to sit down at a table, and then Paul, who was wearing overalls, left come out.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two sides quickly entered into a state of negotiation, but unexpectedly, just 15 minutes after the negotiation, Liang En's lawyer suddenly signaled to stop the negotiation, and then dragged Liang En outside the door to talk. outside the door.
"Mr. Liang, may I ask if you only plan to do this one business, or do you plan to engage in the stained glass business frequently in the future?" After standing in the corridor to make sure no one was eavesdropping, the lawyer quickly asked Liang En a question.
"I don't think there will be many of this type of business in the future, but it will definitely not be less." After thinking about his own industry, Liang En suddenly found that there will be no shortage of demand for stained glass in both museums and jewelry stores.
"If that's the case, you can consider taking a stake in this workshop." Liang En's personal lawyer suggested, "The other party is now looking for willing partners."
"Of course it's okay to invest in shares." Speaking of this, Liang En suddenly remembered the wallet that he hadn't been able to recover since the last time he invested in a power plant. "How much?"
"35 euros can get [-]% of the shares." The lawyer whispered. "Judging from their level, this price is more appropriate, and after buying shares, your list will undoubtedly be at the top."
"Let me think about it." Liang En showed a thoughtful expression, and soon, he realized that investing in this aspect was very meaningful to him.
At least jewelry stores and museums have a certain demand for stained glass. Considering the production speed of this kind of artwork, he really needs people in this area to assist him.
Especially from the perspective of cooperation, if we find different craftsmen each time, there may be problems such as inconsistent styles of works, which will seriously affect Liang En's reputation.
From this point of view, this investment is beneficial to both parties. Liang En can obtain a stable stained glass production channel from this investment, and maybe make a little money, and Paul and the others can also get rid of the current situation. kind of embarrassment.
After all, whether it is renting a house or buying materials, money is needed, and although Dublin, the capital of Ireland, is much cheaper than London, it is not very cheap.
Therefore, Paul, who was full of confidence and wanted to make a career here before, encountered so many problems in less than a year that they had to find a partner.
So after some bargaining, Liang En bought 40% of the shares with [-] euros. When the agreement was signed and the transfer was completed, Liang En immediately took out the drawings that he wanted to entrust this time and discussed with Paul and the others.
"Is this thing of yours the original design of Mucha?" Paul's eyes widened in shock the first time he saw the design.
"No, this one looks a little too new."
As a Paul and his wife who have been copying the works of those famous artists before, he can see at a glance which artist the style in this set belongs to.
"This is designed by me, and I plan to put it in a newly opened museum in Prague that mainly focuses on Mucha's works as an decoration." Liang En pointed to the design draft and said with a smile.
"I don't know if you can figure out such a design draft. After all, I am not a professional painter. These things are all self-taught through those handed down from generation to generation."
"You are indeed very talented in this area, really." Both Paul and Maria showed shocked expressions, because they couldn't imagine that such a work of art would come from the hands of amateurs.
"It's no wonder that your drawing method is a bit old-fashioned. If you teach yourself, it all makes sense. To be honest, few people know this design drawing method in the early 20th century."
"Then - will this kind of drawing affect your work?" Hearing what Paul said, Liang En asked with some embarrassment. He didn't know that what he did would cause trouble to others.
"Don't worry, although the design method is a bit old, it's not that difficult for me to make it." Paul patted his chest and assured, "At least it doesn't look more difficult to understand than modern blueprints."
"But it may take about two months to finish all these things." Maria, who also recovered from the shock, said on the side. "Because you have a lot of these things and they are bulky, and it takes a lot of time to make them."
In addition to the time-consuming production work itself, with Liang En's investment and a deposit for the work, Paul and the others will naturally update the various tools they use.
With the new tools, their work efficiency will naturally be greatly improved, but before that it will take a certain amount of time to run in, so it is said that it will take two months to complete the work.
"It doesn't matter, the museum still needs to be renovated, and various exhibits also need to be processed in advance, so in two months, it can just catch up with the opening of the museum."
Liang En didn't think there was anything wrong with the slow speed. After all, he was not in a hurry to use these things, and traditionally, slow work was done carefully, so doing it too fast might not be a good thing.
In the next hour or so, Liang En and the two stained glass makers exchanged some problems in the creation, which will help them grasp the central idea of the work in the next creation.
During the communication, Liang En realized that the young couple had solid basic skills and could feel the designer's intentions well. The only problem was that they lacked artistic talent.
In other words, they have no problem making works against the drawings, and can even reflect the core that Liang En wanted to reflect in the design before, but their own design is relatively bad.
Liang En also looked at a few works purely designed by them, and found that even if they simply imitated a certain style, the things they designed were poor, giving people a very dull feeling.
I have to say that art, like sports, has high requirements for talent. If the talent is not enough, it is really not good.Judging from Mucha's perspective that Liang En obtained, Paul and the others really put their heart into it.
It's a pity that no talent is no talent. No matter how much effort and energy is put into it, it is still something that is not bad, but it is not good in the eyes of professionals.
These things are naturally good things in ordinary gift supermarkets, but compared with real works of art, there are visible differences with the naked eye, so Liang En's cooperation with them can be regarded as making up for their biggest shortcoming.
