Chapter 961: Reluctantly agreed
James and Ruby are worthy of being old rivers and lakes, although they didn't understand this matter before, but once the two of them found the right direction and guessed, there would be no problem at all, and they immediately guessed it, and they believed that what they guessed must be the truth.
"Heh, since that's it, then we can easily solve the problem."
James smiled and said, "That's it, when we see Fang Ming tomorrow, we can solve it like this, that Fang Ming or Miss Deng, don't they need their own painter's antiques?" I think our client will still be able to come up with some. Hum! Rupee, let's do it, the two of us will make this clear now, if Fang Ming and that Miss Deng's purpose is what we guessed, then we will each rely on our own abilities, whoever can come up with the antiques that interest them, then this sketch will belong to whoever owns it. ”
"Good! No problem! That's it! Hum! Anyway, we just can't get Benjamin to get this sketch! ”
Ruby immediately nodded in agreement, and although he was not able to reach any agreement this time, he was very satisfied and very clear.
Benjamin didn't know that James and Ruby had already guessed what he was doing, and at this time he did find Fang Ming, he wanted to solve the sketch matter as soon as possible, as the so-called long night dreams are many, he was worried that if he didn't deal with this matter right now, the longer it dragged on, the more troublesome this matter would be.
James and Ruby are very difficult people to deal with, he knows this very well, and what happened in the box before also made him notice that they most likely guessed something, so the sooner you do it, the better!
Therefore, after leaving the box, Benjamin immediately found Fang Ming.
Not long after Fang Ming returned to the room, there was a knock on the door, and when he heard this sound, a smile immediately appeared on his face, he knew that it was Benjamin who was the real gong to find him. ,
I opened the door, and sure enough, it was Benjamin standing outside the door!
"Oh, Mr. Benjamin, please come in."
Fang Ming was not surprised by Benjamin's arrival at all, but his face still showed a hint of surprise very cooperatively.
Benjamin felt a little embarrassed by the expression on Fang Ming's face at this time, but since things had come to such a point, he didn't want to give up halfway, so he didn't understand what Fang Ming's words meant, and said, "Heh, Mr. Fang, there are some things I think it's convenient to talk to you."
Sentence? ”
Fang Ming nodded and said, "No problem, then please come in." ”
Of course, Fang Ming understood why Benjamin was looking for him, and this was his purpose, of course, he let him in.
Fang Ming poured Benjamin a glass of water, then sat down as well, and said, "Mr. Benjamin, I don't know what you came to me for?" ”
Benjamin had already made up his mind at this time, and simply said: "Of course, I came here for that sketch, and I observed it in the box before, and you don't seem to be too interested in the price we quoted." ”
Fang Ming nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, it's true, you are also a professional master, you naturally know the real price of that sketch, the price you quoted does sound good, but in fact, I think you yourself are very clear to say it directly, that sketch can be sold at the price you quoted, in this case, I don't have much interest, it is very normal." ”
Benjamin's face flushed, Fang Ming's words were really very direct, but what made him helpless was that this was indeed the truth, and the price quoted by himself or James and Ruby could really be sold casually.
"Well, yes, I admit it."
Benjamin nodded and said, "That sketch is indeed a good thing, and we really want it, so I'm here now to hope to have a good talk with Mr. Fang to see if there is any good way to solve this problem." ”
"Okay! I also hope or Ms. Deng hopes to be able to solve this problem, of course, provided that you can quote a price that interests us or can come up with something that interests us. ”
Fang Ming knew that Benjamin had really taken the bait now.
Benjamin thought for a moment, "That's it, Mr. Fang, if I want to quote a price that interests you or Miss Deng, this is not an easy task, because this sketch is not only from the hands of masters, but also its position in the history of art is very important, which means that its price is very huge, to be honest, if you want to measure it in money, it is difficult, which is actually the most important reason why the price we quoted, although it is not low, but it is not able to satisfy you." ”
Fang Ming didn't speak, just looked at Benjamin, he was waiting for the other party to continue.
I don't know why, this time Benjamin suddenly
I felt a little dry in my mouth, and I couldn't help but take a sip of the water in front of me before saying, "So, I think we can do it another way." ”
"Oh? How? ”
As soon as Benjamin heard it, he knew that Fang Ming was interested in his words, but this was exactly how Lu Yao told him, so he immediately continued: "I noticed a question, that is, you have mentioned many times, Miss Deng's collection is mainly focused on antiques or works of art in Huaxia, that is, in your own country? ”
This idea was told to Benjamin by Lu Yao, but at this time, he naturally couldn't sell Lu Yao, so he used what Fang Ming had said before to lead the conversation out.
"Yes, that's right, I did say such a thing, and it's also true, I'm actually a consultant to Miss Deng's art company, and as far as I know, her interest is indeed in antiques in our country, and she is not too interested in foreign art, and I've said this many times before."
As soon as Benjamin heard Fang Ming say this, he immediately answered, "Yes, so, I thought of a way, that is, maybe I can find some antiques that Miss Deng likes, I wonder if Miss Deng is interested?" I think if she's interested, then we'll ...... Seems to be exchangeable? ”
Fang Ming raised his eyebrows, knowing that Lu Yao had completely led Benjamin to the Tao yesterday, of course, at this time, he had even carried forward the ability to act in a full set, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Oh? That's a good idea. I can propose to Miss Deng, of course, the premise is that you can come up with antiques that interest Miss Deng, you must know that Miss Deng is not an ordinary collector, she collects very valuable antiques, this is one of them, and the second is that this sketch is not an ordinary antique, its value is extremely high, and the antique you take out must be consistent with this sketch in terms of value. ”
"No problem."
Hearing that Fang Ming agreed with the method he proposed, Benjamin nodded heavily, and said, "Of course, this and that!" I think the first thing I took out was that the antiques I took out were naturally of interest to Miss Deng, and if this was the case, I don't think the whole thing would be able to go on. ”
"However, I think it's hard to match the value of a sketch...... One is that the value of the sketch that is now in your hands is relatively high, and the unit price of the antique I took out may not be as high as ......."
With a wave of his hand, Fang Ming said: "This is not a problem, if one does not work, then two, in short, the value cannot be too far apart, if it is too far, we will discuss it and use the money."
Come and solve all this, that first of all you have to build in your hands at least one antique that is of interest to us. ”
"Well, that's a good idea."
Benjamin thought about it and nodded in agreement with what Fang Ming said.
"That'...... What kind of Chinese antiques do you have? I know the situation of Miss Deng's collection, you tell me, so that I can know it when I make suggestions to Miss Deng. ”
"Ah...... This ......"
When Benjamin came this time, he was just thinking about using money to solve the problem, and exchanging Huaxia antiques with Fang Ming and Deng Li was because he came up with a solution after listening to Lu Yao's suggestion, plus it was not he who really took out the antiques, but the rich collector he represented, how could he know what Huaxia antiques that the rich man had? And if Fang Ming and Deng Li are interested? Therefore, he had no way to answer Fang Ming's words at this time.
"Oh...... It seems that this problem is still not easy to solve. ”
Of course, Fang Ming knew what was going on, but he said this for a purpose, which was to put a little pressure on Benjamin.
Sure enough, as soon as Benjamin heard Fang Ming say this, he immediately became a little anxious, and said in a hurry: "This...... Mr. Fang, don't worry, I must have antiques that you or Miss Deng are interested in, but you also know that I can't bring such antiques with me now, right? I don't think it's better to go to a place, look at those antiques on the spot, and then talk? ”
"Well, that's a good idea, okay, that's fine, then you can arrange your time, in my opinion, the sooner the better."
Fang Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this was exactly his purpose!
"Okay, no problem! I'll make it right away, and I think we'll be on our way tomorrow. ”
Benjamin was overjoyed when he heard it, but what he didn't expect was that Fang Ming shook his head and said, "I can't leave tomorrow, I promised James and Rupee before, saying that I would meet them tomorrow......"
Benjamin's heart jumped, and he had a bad feeling, and at this time, Fang Ming paused for a moment and then continued: "You also know, for me, if they can really make me and Miss Deng feel excited, why don't they agree, in short, this way, if they can't quote a price that satisfies me tomorrow, I'll go with you to take a look at the antiques in your hand." ”
"This ...... All right
……”
Of course, Benjamin didn't want this, but what Fang Ming said was reasonable, how could he find a reason to refute it? So in the end, I could only nod and agree
