Davis could not understand any calligraphy, he only knew that it looked quite neat, but it was still early to say that he could understand the essence of it.
So, he could only praise it indiscriminately: "It's really good calligraphy! At 1st glance, it is the work of a great Lord, so remarkable!"
With 1 sentence, Davis made Esther firmly believe that this old man was a big waterboy.
However, she was still very serious and said, "Vice President Bromwick is right, this is indeed a Lordpiece."
"Although it is not as good as White XiSue's top calligraphy, but in this part of Hillsprings, it is definitely 1 of the best."
Davis came up to President Pahan at this time and asked him in a casual manner, "President, how much can these 8 pieces of calligraphy be worth?"
President Pahan said seriously: "Gratson's words compared to many top people, is not expensive, but in recent years."
"he excellent works auction price is more than a million, and collection industry you know, the more sets of things, the more expensive."
"And the more the number of single sets, the more expensive! So these 8 words to really put up for auction, 10s of millions it can bring in!"
Davis secretly staggered, couldn't help but take a look at Esther, thinking: "This girl's family must be particularly wealth, otherwise how could 10s of millions of things can they donate?"
President Pahan had already opened all 8 words 1 by 1 and looked at them once, and the more he looked at them, the more delighted he was, and he couldn't help but ask Esther: "Miss Elise, these 8 words, are they really going to be donated to the Hillsprings Calligraphy and Painting Association?"
Esther said without hesitation, "Of course! If President Pahan is Alright with it, I can sign the donation letter at any time and confirm the donation in writing!"
President Pahan was extraordinarily excited and said in a trembling voice, "Hey! This is really thankful to you Miss Elise! The return of the 8 Sighs of Hillsprings to Hillsprings must be a sensational event for the entire Hillsprings painting and calligraphy community!"
"On behalf of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, as well as all the calligraphers, calligraphy, and painting enthusiasts in Hillsprings, I would like to thank you for your generous donation!"
Esther said with a smile, "President Pahan is too generous, these 8 pieces of calligraphy are a token of appreciation from the old man in the family, I am just passing them on behalf of him."
President Pahan asked gratefully, "Miss Elise, I don't know what is the name of the old man in your family? I'll go back and publicize it in the painting and calligraphy circles in Hillsprings, so that everyone will remember his contribution to the cultural cause of this city!"
Esther seriously said, "President Pahan, my grandpa is relatively low-key, about his identity, we do not want to reveal too much, but the old man in the family has always thought about the promotion and development of Hillsprings history and culture."
"So this time also authorized me to hold a local art exhibition in the city, this matter, also need to ask the 2 presidents to help arrange, as for the activities of the money, it is all sponsored."
"When the exhibition begins, he will definitely be a good example. When the exhibition begins, he will definitely come to Hillsprings to participate, then also have the opportunity to communicate with you 2 face to face."
President Pahan nodded and said seriously, "Then when the exhibition starts, we will see the old man again!"
After saying that, he asked tentatively, "Miss Elise, I wonder what your family's budget is for the art exhibition?"
Esther said casually, "Initially, let's set it at 50 million, if it's not enough, we can add more!"
When President Pahan heard the figure of 50 million, his whole body felt dizzy.
Most of the funds of the Painting and Calligraphy Association depended on the financial allocation from the higher level, but the annual allocation was only several hundred million.
And when the annual funding was insufficient, President Pahan would lead everyone to generate income to ensure the smooth operation of the Painting and Calligraphy Association.
Therefore, the tight life is used to, at 1st hearing an art exhibition on the budget of 50 million, at once simply can not adapt.
