Also, it shows that what you think personally of a text shouldn't get in the way of translating what's actually in the text.

Is there any hint in what I said that I approve or disapprove of this idea? If I had to agree with everything I translated or interpreted, there would have been a lot of blank pages - and hours of silence.

I deleted my comments because they were patently wrong. My intention was not to make you look silly (that's your job to do, if you want to).

The concept of lease-purchasing works of art runs counter to everything I believe in about art and what I think the French's relationship with art and culture is, so no wonder I was wrong. It's as if the French Ministry of Culture started promoting Nutella on baguette bread for dinner in the evening.

@Conor McAuley your comment was:

The whole text is about leasing works of art, that's why the Asker says "leasing of works of art rather than purchasing them", and not "lease-purchasing".

But thanks for the laugh-out-loud picture of Bill Gates, BMW or Facebook lease-purchasing works of art, like someone on the bread line buying a new sofa on the "never-never"!

and my reply to THAT, not to thin air:

You might also consider

getting more familiar with the "language of money".

This ST is not about cash-strapped individuals wanting to buy more than what they can immediately afford - which seems to be your association with "leasing"

The whole point as explained pretty well in the ST is for a business to pay less corporation tax while getting works of art - and least time I checked no business (whatever could be its size) would miss any opportunity for that.

Have you yet noticed that the ST is about "LEASING AVEC OPTION D’ACHAT"

deleting your comments and making me look like I'm talking to thin air?

Your comment was:
I don't see any references for your works-of-art-for-hire-purchase caper-cum-scheme, Daryo.
As you yourself always say, where are the references?

and my reply TO THAT, not to thin air:

You might consider
the possibility of improving your "pattern recognition algorithm"... as the whole ST is actually exactly about that - buying works of art the same way you would "lease" a company car!

Or as quicker solution take a look at related questions from the same Asker about the same ST, like this one:

etc

you have there the whole of the ST - that should be "context" more than enough?

Plus the very relevant reference found by Nikki Scott-Despaigne.

when you buy a vehicle on "leasing" there is an intermediary between the seller and you the buyer - the company that is financing the "leasing".

So the seller gets paid in one payment - by the financing company - which financing company (NOT the seller) gets its money back from multiple payments from the "buyer".

So "multiple payments" made by the buyer and one and only payment received by the seller DO make sense ...

Look at how "leasing" works for a car or a truck - they applied the same system to works of art.

BTW "le règlement" HERE is not just any generic "payment" - it's the "final payment" more like the "settlement" of all that's owed.

vous souhaitez proposer un paiement échelonné (PAR LE CLIENT) tout en **percevant le règlement** de votre œuvre d'art en une seule fois
=
... while you get to be paid in full in one go.

I just noticed that polyglot45 gave in fact a very similar explanation.

How does it work for the buyer to pay in instalments but the seller to get all the money at once? Am I being thick?!

09:55 Apr 15, 2021 

is when YOU receive the money - so the idea is to pay in instalments but to get paid in one go
