Chapter 768 Business Collaboration

The surrounding wealthy merchants‘ eyes lit up, and one of them said, “Mister, how about selling this Black Orchid painting to me? I’ll give you a million for it.”

“A million? You must be joking. This Black Orchid painting is of an extremely high standard, and it even has Mr. Emerentius‘ personal signature as certification. Its value is at least over three million”

“The price is too low. Too low! I’ll offer five million.”

These wealthy merchants, astonishingly, began to bid on the spot, attempting to persuade the disheveled man to sell them the Black Orchid painting.

Many unknown folk artists were actually highly skilled. However, the price at which their paintings sold was not high, simply due to their lack of fame.

This reputation required more than just skills in calligraphy and painting; it also demanded an understanding of marketing, essentially the art of self–promotion and hype.

Initially, it was unclear what marketing tactics Athos had used, but he had successfully hyped up Emrys‘ casual sketches into a unique style… However, it wouldn’t be fair to say it was all hype. After all, Emrys‘ skill level was indeed high.

His was a talent, something that couldn’t be attained through envy.

After all, those lesser–known folk painters and calligraphers didn’t have much recognition, and their works weren’t particularly valuable. However, once the name of a renowned master of painting and calligraphy was engraved on them, the difference was as vast as heaven and earth.

Take the case of the unkempt man, for instance. Previously, in order to swindle three hundred thousand, he had to rack his brains, resorting to all sorts of acting and schemes.

And now, simply because of the words–Approved by Emerentius, the price skyrocketed at the speed of lightning. Every time someone opened their mouth, it was in increments of millions and millions.
