The appraisal of antiques or works of art is definitely a very detailed thing, of course, except for those that can be seen at a glance to be true or fake, but how can there be such a thing as an auction that can be seen at a glance as a fake?

Under normal circumstances, if you want to identify an antique or a work of art, even the most powerful experts have to check the relevant information in many cases.

In this auction, although there is such a link as arranging "getting started", one is that the time to get started is relatively short, and the other is that the information issued in advance is not many and incomplete, and although there are photos taken, they are generally not enough.

In such a situation, it also brings great trouble to the identification.

However, Lu Yao saw that Fang Ming was like this now, it seemed that there was no problem at all, although she was used to seeing Fang Ming's magic, but if she didn't have a single worry in her heart, it was impossible, but now that it was like this, she wouldn't say anything.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll go and find out the situation again, and then arrange everything."

After Lu Yao left, Anne looked at Fang Ming and said, "Fang Ming, you ...... Good identification? ”

"Well, it's okay, including your previous diamond matter, can't I see it at a glance? So, unless there is nothing good for the auction here, if there is, then it can't escape the palm of my hand. ”

Fang Ming first waved his hand, then made a handshake movement, and then added the smug expression on his face, which was clearly full of confidence.

Seeing Fang Ming like this, Anne couldn't help but roll her eyes, even if she was confident, she didn't behave like this, right? I'm too sure of it.

"Fang Ming, I listened to your tone, and I was too sure, it seems that all antiques as long as they are good, they have already reached your hands."

Fang Ming nodded lightly, with a natural expression, and said: "Yes, that's right, it's true, of course, accidents will definitely happen, after all, we have to admit that there are still many masters in this world." ”

Anne couldn't help but roll her eyes again, this was even more arrogant than before! After all, there are still many masters in this world, and this sounds really bad.

"Okay, I can't get involved in this matter anyway, so you can say whatever you want, I'm just watching the excitement."

Anne shook her head, she had completely "given up" on Fang Ming now.

Soon, Lu Yao came back again, looking at her hurried steps, Fang Ming knew that something must be wrong, so without waiting for her to speak, he asked, "Lu Yao, what's wrong?" What's going on? ”

Lu Yao couldn't sit down at this time, and said while standing: "I went to inquire just now, and found that if you want to get hold of those antiques tonight, you have to pay a certain deposit." ”

"Oh? And such a thing, it's not a problem, how much? ”

Auctions sometimes have a threshold of deposit, in fact, if there is nothing auctioned after participating in the auction, it will be returned, the reason why such a threshold is set is actually very simple, is to block those who do not have the strength to just watch the excitement outside. Tonight's party, because you can get your hands on antiques or artworks, it is not surprising that the auction company has set such a threshold, if there is no such threshold, no matter who receives the news and comes to see it, the scene will definitely get out of control, so Fang Ming caught Lu Yao saying this but he didn't feel strange at all.

"5 million, dollars."

Fang Ming's eyebrows raised and said, "Oh? It's not a lot, but it doesn't matter, let's go, let's go through the formalities first, don't make a mistake, Zhao Zhuzi will go with you, by the way, Zhuzi, you change the name of a person. ”

Although this amount is indeed not small, especially for ordinary people, it is not a problem for Fang Ming.

Hearing Fang Ming say this, Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The reason why she came in a hurry was that she was worried that there was no way to solve this problem, not that Fang Ming had no money, but that the time was too short, and there might be no way to take it out for a while.

"Okay, it's almost time, let's go and go through the formalities first."

Time was very tight, so Lu Yao didn't care about being polite with Fang Ming, and immediately went to go through the formalities with Zhao Zhuzi.

"Zhuzi, just now Fang Ming said in the name of another person?"

As Lu Yao and Zhao Zhuzi walked forward, they suddenly remembered what Fang Ming had said before, and immediately confirmed it.

"Well, yes, it's better that way."

"Why?"

Lu Yao didn't understand now, in her opinion, there was actually no difference.

"The boss did this, in fact, the main consideration was that if someone recognized him here, it would not be good. You also know that when he was in China, the boss encountered a situation that if someone knew which one he was, there would be someone to grab it no matter what he liked, and of course, more often than not, the shopkeeper was not willing to sell it at all! ”

"The reason why the boss asked me to change my name is that this means that if someone really recognizes the boss here, there will be room for maneuver."

Lu Yao nodded lightly, Fang Ming is a very cautious person, under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that anyone will recognize Fang Ming, after all, it is not in China, is it? But even so, Fang Ming still did not let his guard down.

If there is no Lu Yao, Zhao Zhuzi estimates that this matter will not be successful, after all, this industry is still relatively unfamiliar to him, and it is abroad, but because there is a person like Lu Yao who is very familiar with the situation, the rest is the problem of money, as for money, Zhao Zhuzi had already arranged it before going abroad, so 5 million US dollars is not a big problem, and the procedures are completed quickly.

It turned out that Fang Ming's caution was very reasonable, because when he and Anne were hiding in the corner chatting, someone was already staring at him not far away.

"Yamada-kun, that is Fang Ming? The guy who has recently made a name for himself in the world of collecting? ”

Yoshino gently shook the cup in his hand as he looked in Fang Ming's direction.

"Yes, it's not wrong, it's really him, I won't admit it."

Yamada took a closer look at it again, and said: "I just came back from Dongcheng Street not long ago, it is indeed him, this person is now one of the best people in the collection world of China, although he has been mainly focused on running Dongcheng Street recently, but in fact he is really famous because he is unmatched in identification, that is, this is a master of picking up leaks." ”

Yoshino nodded and said, "I know about this person, and I have also collected a lot of information related to him, and now the crux of the matter is that he appeared here...... What is it for? ”

Yamada thought for a moment and said, "Actually, this matter seems very simple to me, that is, we all know that this Fang Ming's best thing is to pick up leaks, so is he coming out here because there are leaks to pick up?" ”

Yoshino thought about it and realized that it was really possible.

As the saying goes, no profit is not early, this sentence is no matter what kind of industry it is

It's the same, that is, people who play antiques are actually just for the money. Fang Ming is such a master of picking up leaks, he must also be for money, so he appeared here, it was definitely for money, what else in this world could make more money than picking up leaks?

"If that's the case, then it seems like our chance."

Yamada was stunned for a moment and said, "This...... Yoshino-kun, what do you mean by that? ”

"What do you mean? Scold...... Since you know that this Fang Ming is a master of picking up leaks, then you should know that if it is something that Fang Ming has a fancy to now, there will be many people who want to grab it or the shopkeeper is unwilling to sell it, we can actually use this trick. ”

Yamada understood now, and immediately said, "Yoshino-kun, do you mean that if Fang Ming sees something, we will rob him of it?" ”

"Yes, that's right, I just planned such a plan, you must know that Fang Ming is a master of picking up leaks, since this is the case, then what he can fancy must be a good thing."

"But ......"

Yamada hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if this is the case, we don't know how much the thing he likes is worth, and we don't know how much this bid is appropriate." ”、

"Hah! There is no need to worry about this problem. Think about it, a person like Fang Ming has a very high vision, what he likes is difficult to get worse? So the value must be very high, and in this case, we have a lot of room to increase the price. ”

Yamada thought about it and realized that it was really the case.

Fang Ming is now a master among masters, the antiques that he can look at are certainly not ordinary antiques, and it is estimated that it is a normal thing to be at the tens of millions level.

Therefore, as long as it is controlled well, it is unlikely that it will make a big fortune, but it is still possible to make a small fortune, and more importantly, this is a tiger's mouth from a master like Fang Ming, once such a thing is spread, it is a very face-saving thing.

"Good! Yoshino-kun, you're right, we are actually people with a little wealth, whether this makes money or not, or secondary, but it is not easy to snatch something from someone like Fang Ming. ”

Yoshino reached out and slapped Yamada the shoulder, then said, "Yes, that's right, that's what it means." ”
