939 Good Stuff!
"Tom, there's something good you can bring out."
Lu Yao, as the middleman, naturally would not let this scene continue to be cold, so he started a round with a voice.
Tom is also a sleek person, after hearing Lu Yao say this, he also got off the donkey down the slope, nodded, and said: "This must be no problem, if there is a good thing, then I will naturally take it out, but there is a problem, if this thing is good, the price will naturally go up, I don't know ......"
"Look at the things first, and then talk about the price when the things are suitable."
Fang Ming waved his hand and interrupted Tom's words, he was also a veteran, where would he let the other party's words be pinched?
"Okay......"
Tom was very depressed now, and he found that he had let Fang Ming suppress him everywhere.
It's very difficult to deal with!
Until now, where did Tom not understand that Fang Ming was a very difficult person to deal with? He even had a thought, that is, if Fang Ming's appraisal ability was as strong as his "negotiation" ability, then he probably wouldn't be able to get a favor today.
However, at this time, Tom has no choice, and he can only endure it when he still wants to do business.
Seeing Tom walking in to get something, Lu Yao gave Fang Ming a thumbs up and said in a suppressed voice: "Fang Ming, this Tom is actually very difficult to deal with, you can actually suppress him, you are really a master." ”
Deng Li on the side also nodded and said, "Yes, Fang Ming, you seem to be very easy to deal with." ”
"Hahaha!"
Fang Ming also laughed in a low voice, and said: "I am talking about people when I see people, talking nonsense when I see them, this Tom clearly belongs to the kind of person who will open a dye room if you give him three points of color, so I am so tough, and now it seems that the effect is really very good." ”
"This ...... Well, count you on ......"
Deng Li saw Fang Ming's picture that I knew very well that I was very powerful, and suddenly I was speechless for a while, and when I wanted to say something, Tom came back, holding a bunch of cylinders in his hands.
This kind of cylinder is actually a special thing used to store oil paintings, oil paintings can be rolled up, similar to the scrolls of Chinese paintings, so that it is easier to preserve, easy to carry and does not take up space, and when you really need to exhibit it, you can take it out and put it in a special frame.
Tom was holding more than a dozen of these cylinders in his hand, and there was a special large table in the reception room, Fang Ming also stood up and walked to the table at this time, but Tom pulled out the picture in the cylinder and spread it out on the table.
What made Fang Ming secretly happy in his heart was that he found that the lamp above the table was also extremely dim, which was the same as the practice of some antique stores in China.
It seems that no matter where you are, some tricks are figured out.
Fang Ming had such a thought in his heart that made him feel a little strange.
"If you look at these pictures, I am a very good part of my collection of paintings, if it weren't for me and Miss Lu who are more familiar, I wouldn't have taken them out, because such paintings must be seen by people who really understand to understand their true value."
Tom kept talking, but Fang Ming's attention was not on what he was saying at all, but really belonged to the one that went in the left ear and went out the right ear.
This is definitely trash talk, Fang Ming heard too much when he was in China, it was nothing more than bragging about how good his things were, and then he would raise the price after a while.
After a few glances, Fang Ming shook his head lightly and said, "These oil paintings are indeed much better than those hanging outside, but they are far from worthy of our collection. ”
Fang Ming paused after saying this, no longer caring about Tom but looking at Lu Yao, and said, "Miss Lu, I think the things here are quite ordinary, there is no need to waste time here, I see if you should leave now, go back to the hotel to rest, and then continue to the next place early tomorrow morning?" ”
Tom was anxious when he heard this, he had spoken a call before, but he didn't expect that the exchange would be such a result.
"What do you mean, sir? Don't want it? Don't watch it? ”
Fang Ming looked at Tom at this time, nodded without hesitation, and said: "That's right, that's what it means, I just said, we came here to see good things, those pictures hanging outside, the quality is not good, I think it's normal, but the pictures you take out now are only a little better than the ones outside, I think the things you collect are estimated to be at this level, so there is no need to waste time here." ”
"Heh......"
Tom was speechless for a while, this time the painting he took out was indeed better than before, but Fang Ming was right again, it was indeed not at the level of collection, this was actually his intention, because
For him to try out Fang Ming's appraisal ability in this way to see what level he has reached, and then come up with a suitable painting in a targeted manner, at the same time, this method also has an advantage, that is, by trying to come up with better things step by step, it can give people a psychological hint: as the things taken out are getting better and better, the price will be higher and higher, which is very reasonable.
However, what he didn't expect was that Fang Ming once again didn't bird himself, he was directly beaten to death with a stick, thinking that he didn't have anything good here, and he was putting on a picture of being about to leave, what made him even more anxious was that Fang Ming directly told Lu Yao that he was going to see somewhere else tomorrow.
Tom also has a certain degree of understanding of Lu Yao, knowing that she is naturally not the only one who can come up with good things, Fang Ming's departure, it is to go to another house, and he is very likely to miss a big windfall.
"Tom, haven't you had anything good lately? If not, then I don't think there's any need to waste any more time here. ”
Lu Yao knew that Fang Ming didn't really want to leave, but used this way to put pressure on Tom, the purpose was to press out the really good things in his hand, although it was possible for Tom to take it out in the end without such a way, but it must not be so refreshing, and at the same time, the price would be much higher.
After understanding this, she naturally added a sentence to Tom, which was also to put pressure on Tom.
While doing this, Lu Yao also sighed secretly in her heart, when she dealt with Tom before, she didn't suffer less from Tom's set, but now seeing that Fang Ming was playing with Tom in the palm of her hand, she thought to herself why she hadn't thought of such a method before.
Grabbing his hair, Tom found that his original plan didn't work, Fang Ming's attitude was very tough now, if he followed the original plan, it was estimated that Fang Ming would really leave.
Tom found himself having to think about this risk, and after hesitating for a while, Tom had no choice but to abandon his original plan.
"I've got a few things lately, would you like to take a look?"
Fang Ming nodded while picking up the last one of the bunch of cylinders that Tom had just taken out and opened it, and said, "Of course you have to see it, just take it out, I have already said it just now, the thing is good, this price is something that can be discussed, but if this thing is not good, it doesn't make any sense to say that there is no more, right...... What's in it? ”
Opening the lid, Fang Ming took a look and found it
The noodles were stuffed to the brim, and it looked like there was more than one piece of drawing paper in it.
Glancing at the cylinder in Fang Ming's hand, Tom said nonchalantly, "It's a manuscript of some sketches, not a good thing, cleaned up from the things I packed and collected, and I rolled them together and stuffed them in it, and found a time to throw them away." ”
"Isn't it, since it's something that is going to be thrown away, you actually took it out for me to see?"
Tom's face flushed, he naturally understood what Fang Ming meant, and he wanted to slap himself in his heart, but he said it a little too quickly.
"Heh, I took the wrong one."
That's all Tom could explain.
"Alright, go and take a look at the few good things you said."
Fang Ming waved his hand and asked Tom to go in and get something, while he pulled out the things in the cylinder, and found that there were more than a dozen pieces of paper stuffed inside, and then took a closer look and found that all of them were sketches, and most of them belonged to that kind of semi-finished product, and it could be seen that they were either used for practice or scrapped paintings.
Tom hadn't come back at this time, and Fang Ming, who had nothing to do, simply flipped through the stack of sketches.
Suddenly, Fang Ming's body stiffened, his hand was beaten, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the back of his hand.
"!"
Fang Ming quickly came back to his senses, and quietly pulled out the piece of picture paper that was pressed on the bottom and put it on top, but in his heart, he quickly figured out how to buy it.
Undoubtedly, Tom is a real old man, he must not have seen that one of this stack of sketch paper actually belongs to an amazing level, but he has just said that this stack of things is of no value, Fang Ming knows that if he says yes, it will definitely attract Tom's attention.
The experienced Tom must have realized that he might have lost his eyes, and the sketch would never be sold to him, and even if it was, it would be a very high price!
Therefore, Fang Ming knew that if he wanted to get this sketch in front of him, then he had to come up with a way.
Way!
Is there a way to get rid of the sketch without attracting Tom's attention?
Fang Ming's head spun quickly
