 Chapter 219 219 Famous Paintings

"Chin...raise it a little, thank you." A man in a formal dress, holding a palette and a paintbrush in the other hand, said respectfully as he looked at the young man standing there with squinted eyes.

Tang Mo raised his head slightly, maintaining that arrogant attitude of overlooking all living things. He put one hand in his pocket and put the other on his waist, looking scornful of the world.

He is painting his first portrait in this world. The artist is the most famous realist figure painter in the Kingdom of Dorne. Many of his works can be sold for hundreds of gold coins each.

The most proud painting of this artist is called Samantha, which depicts an imaginary queen of the elves.

This painting now hangs in Tang Mo's collection room, and Tang Mo has raised the price of this painting to 1,000 gold coins.

Yes, at an auction, John, the director of Datang Group Entertainment Company, was entrusted by Tang Mo, and he and several "entrustees" pushed the painting to an unbelievable and terrifying height in one go.

Now, the first task of the painter who created the most expensive painting in the world is to paint a portrait of Tang Mo.

 Tang Mo in the painting is very expressive, and he also has a bit of beauty - he was already very handsome, and now he looks even more radiant.

"Master." Leo held a telegram in his hand and opened the door to the room. He ignored the painter and walked straight to Tang Mo and reported: "Telegram from Sidos."

"Huh?" Tang Mo did not change his posture, but expressed his doubts in his own voice.

The telegraph office has just been established in Sidos. The Datang Group has no decent business there except brothels, gambling houses and restaurants. Logically speaking, there should be no people there who can send telegrams.

What's more, Leo actually sent the message himself. It seemed like this was a very important intelligence message.

Leo explained directly: "The other party is from the Yangmu Kingdom, and the telegram sent is also for you, master."

"For me?" Tang Mo was stunned for a moment, then motioned to the painter over there to stop first. He looked at Leo and said, "They spent 50 gold coins on sending the letter?"

 “Yes!” Leo replied with a strange expression.

  When the fee was originally set, Tang Mo had no intention of having anyone send him a telegram. He set the price at a sky-high price in order to avoid many people who were full and had nothing to do and sent him telegrams to cause trouble.

Now, the telegraph system has not been in operation for long, and many people have spent money to send telegrams to Tang Mo.

These people include, but are not limited to, His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Wright, the great nobles in the southern part of the Kingdom, the ministers of the Kingdom of Dorne, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sussus... Of course, the one who has made the most mistakes is a certain countess from North Ridge. grown ups.

 She completely uses Telegram as WeChat... There is no way, she is so willful. But her telegrams are free anyway, and not all of them will be sent to Tang Mo.

After all, Tang Mo already has a lot to deal with now, and he doesn't have time to chat with a girl through text messages.

As soon as Tang Mo stretched out his hand, Leo handed the message in his hand to Tang Mo. Then he turned sideways and looked at the famous painter standing in front of the canvas. The other person felt Leo's eyes, and immediately bowed his head slightly in greeting, and then bowed out. room.

 This is the price he has to pay for his promotion to become the most valuable painter in the world. After all, he has the power to choose, and he has chosen his current path.

Tang Mo ignored the painter's departure. He lowered his head and looked at the message: "Dear Mr. Tang, I hope you will end the war immediately. The Yangmu Kingdom's envoy will arrive in Bunas as soon as possible for an interview. Please be sure to call back after receiving it. I'm extremely grateful. grateful."

After reading this long string of text, Tang Mo's face was filled with smiles: "Hey! Did you spend a lot of money to send this telegram?"

The telegram sent by the other party is very interesting, and every word seems to be full of profound meaning.

First of all, the first three words in the first sentence, "Dear Mr. Tang Mo," show the respect of the other party. The other party even omitted his own name and insisted on not deleting the honorific at the beginning. This has already shown that Some kind of attitude.

The things mentioned in the following telegram were all business matters, and Tang Mo was too lazy to analyze them word by word. After all... the Yangmu Kingdom was not worthy of it.

"My subordinates have calculated that this telegram should be paid for 100 gold coins. After all, the message that is sent directly to the intelligence department is still very valuable." After hearing Tang Mo's praise, Leo immediately agreed.

Tang Mo handed the message back to Leo and said, "Since it is very valuable, don't let this money go to waste."

"What do you mean?" Leo was stunned, waiting for Tang Mo's next order.

"Call back to the Sidos Telegraph Office and tell them...I'm waiting for you in Bunas!" Tang Mo twisted his neck twice and looked at Weiss, who was standing silently against the wall: "How's it going? Is the painting handsome?”

"I really don't understand. Haven't you already...made a decent...what's that called? Yes, a camera! Haven't you already made a camera? Why bother painting a portrait of yourself?" Weiss was very worried. I don’t understand Tang Mo’s confusing behavior.

Datang Group has made a camera a few weeks ago. Although it is black and white, it is really exciting.

It retains people’s faces for the first time, recording a moment in an almost eternal way. Datang Group used this modern recording method to create passes for every senior executive of Datang Group, and soon similar ID cards will be issued to workers.

 With this thing, the factory can be better managed and many possible penetrations can be eliminated. In short, it is also a very effective management method.

Of course, because the production capacity cannot be increased and the film cannot be mass-produced, this thing is still in a strictly confidential stage.

Today, most of Datang Group's production capacity is piled up in the shipyard, and most of the remaining production capacity is also used in the manufacturing of cars, trains and rails. On the contrary, it manufactures relatively few guns.

However, weapons are still its main business, but these "weapons" are no longer limited to guns and ammunition, but the people who use guns and ammunition.

The most famous thing of Datang Group now is not the messy K1 or K2K3 rifles, but the talents of Datang Military Academy.

These talents are simply the treasures of the country's rise. Everyone who knows the history of Datang Military Academy is eager to get talents who have graduated from the academy.

You should know that the Kingdom of Dorne only received one student, and the Kingdom of Dorne rose in the southern part of the continent and became a member of the Three Kings Alliance.

 Similarly, the Kingdom of Wright, which has received dozens of college graduates, has now surpassed Dorne and Sussus, which were originally on par with it, in terms of national power, and has become the strongest entity in the Three Kings Alliance.

Of course, no one knows whether the young man in Susas who led the kingdom's tax reform is a talented person from the Tang Military Academy, but it is rumored that he is from the Kingdom of Leyte, and he is probably a graduate of the Military Academy.

On the other hand, he is also doing crazy output in culture and art, which will be the sharpest, most terrifying and most powerful weapon in the future, which can destroy the enemy without a single blow and completely occupy those invisible territories.

"I understand! The subordinate resigned." Seeing that Tang Mo no longer wanted to dwell on the telegram sent by the Yangmu Kingdom envoy, Leo was about to leave the room.

"Send a telegram to Bunas No. 2 and No. 3 and ask them to return." Tang Mo looked at Leo and continued to order.

Leo thought for a while and asked a question: "So, the action against the Yangmu Kingdom, is it..."

"It's just a pause." Tang Mo directly stated his plan: "Anyway, their supplies are almost exhausted. Let Bunas No. 4 and No. 5 go to Nanshui to take over the tasks of No. 2 and No. 3."

  "Yes! I understand!" After understanding Tang Mo's meaning, Leo bowed slightly, then turned around and walked towards the door.

What Tang Mo meant was to take advantage of the gap in changing ships to give the Yangmu Kingdom's special envoy some face and allow the other party's Nanshui Port to relax a little.

 He just wanted money and had no intention of completely destroying the Yangmu Kingdom, so there was no need to really kill them all.

As long as the other party realizes the gap in weapons and pays the 14 million gold coins in arrears, all other problems will be easy to solve, right?

"Painting is art! Do you understand art? Photography is just photography." Tang Mo felt that it was not that easy for photography to reach the artistic level of painting. He is now completing his aristocratic heritage. What can he do without a portrait of himself at home?

Although he doesn't intend to be as cliched as the so-called gentleman and aristocrat, there are some things that he still likes very much. For example, fine wine, paintings, yachts, and luxury cars.

 In short, he does not reject anything from the West in his previous life, he just hates his vicious and arrogant counterparts in the West.

 “I don’t understand art.” Weiss curled his lips with a look of disdain.

Tang Mo laughed heartily: "I don't understand either."

 After he finished laughing, he ordered Weiss: "Invite the master in! I still have time, let him continue painting for a while."

"Oh, by the way." When Weiss was halfway there, Tang Mo seemed to remember something and asked, "How's the car training going?"

"No problem, I'm very talented." Wes boasted: "I like your car very much...what's it called?"

"Rolls-Royce!" Tang Mo was too lazy to name it, so he just named his Rolls-Royce Rolls-Royce after the famous car from his previous life.

"Rolls-Royce! Yes! Rolls-Royce! I like that car very much! It's big, and it's very handsome to drive!" Weiss smiled and gestured to Tang Mo to twist the steering wheel.

Then he turned around, opened the door, and signaled the painter waiting at the door to go in and continue painting.

The painter nodded slightly to Weiss gratefully, and then nervously started a new round of... creation.
