The gallery is relatively simple. You can just hang the paintings directly on the wall, and the positions where the paintings are hung are fixed.

During the decoration, the location for hanging the paintings was already fixed, and there were lights all around.

This was specially designed by Zhang Junping. Each painting has four beams of light shining on it.

Make sure the oil painting is under enough bright light without any shadows from the light.

China Impression Art Store, too, has professional display counters, which are set up with reference to later art exhibition stands.

Some display cabinets are against the wall, and some stand alone in the middle of the store.

No matter which counter it is, there must be enough lighting.

Light can enhance the image of artwork, and this is backed by science.

Seeing more than sixty shop assistants busy arranging handicrafts and hanging paintings, Zhang Junping showed a satisfied smile.

After working so hard for so long, we are finally about to open the business, taking the most crucial step.

After this period of adaptation, employees from China seem to have been transformed.

Transform into an urban beauty, full of youthful vigor, and brimming with confidence.

This is a change brought about by the environment.

Seeing a different world, they not only greatly improved their English by interacting with the French clerks, but they also learned makeup from the French clerks.

The employees who were originally above the standard line became more beautiful after dressing up one by one.

The security department and other male employees were fascinated.

Compared to passionate French girls, these Chinese guys still prefer reserved Chinese girls.

As for these, as long as they are not fooling around and are serious about talking about the target, Zhang Junping doesn't care.

It's the same trick again, only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps.

"Lao Zhou, arrange the people on duty. From now on, no one can leave the two stores 24 hours a day." Zhang Junping told Zhou Yan.

"Yes! I promise to complete the mission!" Zhou Yan saluted.

"Old Zhou, we are not in the army now. Relax. We must not lose the spirit of the army, but we must not bring the tactics of the army to society." Zhang Junping smiled and patted Zhou Yan on the shoulder.

"There are two offices for your security department on the third floor, a duty room and a duty lounge."

"Thank you, manager, for thinking so thoughtfully for us."

Just now Zhou Yan looked at the two stores from top to bottom and knew that the third floor was the office area.

However, the area is limited. Except for one general manager's office, two store managers' offices, and the duty room of their security department is a separate room, the rest are open public office areas.

Zhou Yan is already satisfied with having two rooms.

"Manager, each store will arrange two security guards on the front line and two security guards on the second line. The first line will be on duty at the door and the second line will be on duty in the duty room. Do you think that's okay?"

…

"Okay!" Zhang Junping nodded.

This is the most prosperous area in Paris, and it is also the area with the best security situation. There are four security guards at all times 24 hours a day, which is enough to deal with emergencies.

Time flies very quickly, and it’s the day when galleries and art shops open.

All the shop assistants changed into cheongsams, which were slit to the thighs and paired with flesh-colored stockings, making their already plump and delicate figures even more attractive and dazzling.

Many LSPs want to rush in without waiting for the opening ceremony, just to take a look at the cheongsam beauties.

Naturally, I was fooled by the security guard at the door.

At eight o'clock, the lion dance team arrived at the scene.

Zhang Junping specifically contacted the lion dancer. Although the Chinese in Chinatown in Paris are all from Southeast Asia, many traditional things have been passed down.

Zhang Junping applied to the city hall through George Fairburn and invited two teams of lion dancers to perform Cai Ji.

After a thrilling fight between two lions along two bamboo poles and on the bamboo poles, one of the lions picked up the red envelope hanging high on the plaque, completing the auspicious harvest.

Cai Ji is also called Cai Qing. What you want is a good fortune. At first, it was green cabbage leaves, but later it was changed to red envelopes.

"Dear Zhang! It's so wonderful! Is this magic?" George Fairburn said excitedly to Zhang Junping while applauding.

George Fairburn was one of the first guests to arrive. Others had not arrived yet, or had arrived and did not come over. They were watching the lion dance performance below.

"It's not magic, this is Chinese Kung Fu." Zhang Junping nodded. This was the first time he had seen such a wonderful lion dance performance.

The ones on TV don’t count.

The wonderful lion dance performance attracted a lot of people. Because today is Saturday, there were already many tourists, and many tourists stopped to watch the performance.

This kind of lion dance performance is rare on the Champs Elysées.

Coupled with the two rows of beauties in cheongsam standing at the door, it attracted many LSPs to stop and watch.

To perform the lion dance to collect good luck, you need to take off the red envelope and lift off the red cloth covering the plaque.

Only then can the entire opening process be completed.

Only the gallery is opening today, and the art store will open tomorrow.

There will be another lion dance performance tomorrow, with two lions competing to pick the green ones.

Zhang Junping let George Fairburn and his party into the store.

At this time, a group of old men in Tang suits and some Chinese in suits came over.

Zhang Junping hurried up to greet him, holding the leading old man's hand with both hands, "Mr. Yang, welcome! I didn't expect you to come in person, it really makes the shop shine!"

"Haha! My friend, the opening of the China Gallery is such an important thing, how can we old guys not come?" Yang Yeming laughed and held Zhang Junping's hand and patted it hard.

Then he introduced the other people behind him.

Although Zhang Junping sent invitation letters, he did not know many people.

"Thank you all seniors for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the store's opening ceremony." Zhang Junping said politely, shaking hands with the visitors one by one and saying hello.

After some pleasantries, Zhang Junping let Yang Yeming and others into the store.

At this time, another guest arrived.

…

It was Carlson who came over with several art dealers Zhang Junping met at the party.

"Welcome, welcome! Mr. Carlson, Mr. Cruz, Mr. Fernandez...welcome everyone." Zhang Junping stepped forward to say hello one by one.

“Dear Zhang, congratulations on the opening of your gallery!

Chinese art has always been loved by collectors, and I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate." Carlson hugged Zhang Junping enthusiastically.

Zhang Junping already knew through George Fairburn that the Carlson in front of him was not just an art dealer, but also a collector.

Carlson is also the third largest shareholder of Christie's and has a say in Christie's.

"Of course, I believe that we will have many opportunities for cooperation!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

His art company will definitely have to deal with auction houses.

How to reflect the value of art? The bidding price of the auction house is one of the important basis.

Raising prices through auction houses is a routine used by almost all art dealers. It is very old-fashioned, but very practical.

"This is Mr. Cordoba, the independent director of Sotheby's auction house, and he is also an old friend and competitor of mine.

His market is mainly for bald eagles." Carlson introduced another person to Zhang Junping.

Zhang Junping smiled, shook hands with the other party, said a few words, and exchanged business cards.

They are both in Bald Eagle Country, and both are engaged in art business in Bald Eagle. One is a shareholder of Christie's, and the other is an independent director of Sotheby's. They are really old competitors.

There were many people behind, rushing to galleries and art shops one after another.

The reason why he was able to invite so many people to support him was because of Zhang Junping's personal charm.

Zhang Junping's "Pastoral Scenery in Thirty-Six Styles" series of oil paintings has been spread widely. People who have seen the oil paintings have commented that the "Pastoral Scenery in Thirty-Six Styles" series of oil paintings are no worse than those painted by Rubens himself, regardless of style.

, or the use of colors is extremely imaginative.

Even in terms of conception, it is more artistically charming than Rubens' "Pastoral Scenery".

With such a talented artist, everyone is naturally willing to be friends with him.

Coupled with the lion dance performance just now, it attracted a group of individual customers to visit and hang out in the store.

Guests who receive invitations will more or less buy a piece of art, while individual visitors generally see more and buy less.

After all, the calligraphy and paintings sold in the gallery are all works of art, and the prices will not be too low.

Zhang Junping sets prices according to different levels and reputations, ranging from hundreds of thousands for a high price to several thousand for a low price.

The most expensive ones are Zhang Junping's calligraphy and paintings. Each work is priced at more than one million, depending on the size of the work.

The units are all French francs.

After closing the store in the evening, Chen Lijun found Zhang Junping excitedly.
