Chapter 494: The Tree Wants to Be Quiet but the Wind Doesn't Stop
"Lu Yao, what's wrong?"
Fang Ming said as he looked in the direction that Lu Yao was looking at, and then saw two tall white Europeans walking in, Lu Yao's eyes had been fixed on these two people, obviously they knew each other.
"These two guys, the taller one is called Abigail and the shorter and chubby one is called Bright, and they are from the auction house where I used to work."
As soon as Fang Ming heard this, he immediately came back to his senses.
Today's auction is the first public auction held by Lu Yao since he set up his own door, and the important thing is that although it was open to all people to come in to see the antiques, there were only 50 people who could come in and participate in this auction.
It is conceivable that Lu Yao must have chosen the last person who could enter today through methods such as distributing invitations, that is to say, everyone who came in was chosen by Lu Yao, if this was the case, she would definitely not choose her former colleagues. Lu Yao is robbing the other party's job.
Therefore, the reason why these two people in front of me appeared here was that they were looking for trouble.
"After a lot of research, I finally settled on the list of people who will attend this auction today, and these two people are not on the list."
Lu Yao's face collapsed tightly, and she almost froze with cold.
"Oh? Those invitations of yours...... Anonymous? ”
Fang Ming frowned.
Nodding, Lu Yao said: "Yes, these invitations I sent out are indeed anonymous, because there is no need to be named at all, and the people who get them are not ordinary people, even if they give the invitation to others, it must be given to someone with the same status as them." ”
Fang Ming understood that for Lu Yao's auction, even if the list was locked, there was no way to be sure that all the people on the list would attend. In order to avoid too few people to attend at the end, it is often in an anonymous way to allow those people's invitations to "circulate" to another person.
As Lu Yao said, even if the person who gets the invitation letter gives it to others, it will also give it to those who are interested in antique auctions with similar status and economic conditions, so in the end, it will not damage the "style" of the auction.
However, in this way, it is easy to have accidents and accidents, and this is exactly the case with the two people in front of them, they are probably here to make trouble, and they don't know who got the invitation from.
"Oh, me
There's no way to get them out now, so we have to see how to dismantle them. By the way, they came over, and it looked like they were going to say hello to us. ”
"Hello, Lu, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I thought you were unemployed, but I didn't expect to open an auction company by yourself."
"yes, if we hadn't gotten word from a customer by chance, we wouldn't have known about it."
Abigail and Bright walked over and sang and spoke.
Lu Yao knew that Fang Ming was not wrong, no matter what the purpose of the other party's coming here was, it was impossible for him to tear his face with the other party now, so he would see the move.
"Abigail, Bright, long time no see, how are you doing? Looks pretty good. ”
Lu Yao's tone was not unusual, Fang Ming knew that she had adjusted her mentality at this time, so she put her mind at ease, no matter what time it was, it was very important to stay calm.
Abigail glanced at Fang Ming, who was standing next to Lu Yao, and said, "Lu, this ...... What do you call a gentleman? Also in our line? But...... How come I never met him? ”
When he was in the company before, Abigail had pursued Lu Yao, but he didn't succeed, and he also noticed that there were few men around Lu Yao, and he noticed Fang Ming beside Lu Yao when he came in just now, and the fire of jealousy in his heart naturally burned, of course, he felt that he was a gentleman, so he tried hard to control his emotions.
However, he still had a thorn in his mouth when he spoke, and he hadn't seen Fang Ming, so he was turning a corner and saying that Fang Ming was a nobody.
"I'm Fang Ming."
Fang Ming nodded, Abigail and Bright in front of him looked like people in suits and leather shoes, looking like dogs, but he knew that such people should be more careful to deal with them, because dogs that can bite people don't bark.
Of course, how could he not be able to hear the meaning of the other party's words, but in Fang Ming's opinion, this Abigail in front of him was just a clown, let's see what the other party wanted first.
"Fang Ming? I...... Where have you heard of this name? ”
Abigail, who was muttering to himself, suddenly changed his face and shouted loudly, saying, "You are that Fang Ming!?" ”
Fang Ming raised the wine glass in his hand, gestured at Abigail and Bright, and then said, "It seems that you have heard of my name, so I should."
Not a nobody. ”
Abigail's face was gloomy and uncertain. He had indeed heard of Fang Ming's name, and this time he and Bright came to Ningdong City to inspect the art market here, which of course included antiques, you must know that antiques are now in demand in the world, and many rich and powerful people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy them.
In the process of investigation, one of the names they heard the most was Fang Ming, this young man appeared in the antique collection industry in Ningdong City for a short time, but he has turned the entire collection world upside down, not to mention the Gu Xuan Zhai he owns, now it is well-known in the antique collection world, Dongcheng Street where they have also been, they are all professionals, naturally it can be seen that there is a persistent development there, and they know that it may not take long to develop into a paradise of art that people can stop.
What's more, they have found out through a relationship that Dongcheng Street is a huge consortium that unites many people, including professionals and investors in the antique industry.
Dongcheng Street, which does not lack professionalism and investment, is absolutely conceivable in terms of the speed of development.
After learning about these situations, Abigail and Bright have decided to find an opportunity to contact Fang Ming to see if there is an opportunity to cooperate.
The current Fang Ming is no longer a small person, he can't meet if he wants to, and if he wants to cooperate, he should definitely be introduced by some influential people, so that he can gain each other's trust, but when they were still looking for such a suitable middleman, they didn't meet Fang Ming at Lu Yao's auction!
In Lu Yao's auction, Abigail and Bright did know the news by accident. Out of illusion about their former colleagues, and more importantly, they are competing rivals at this time, so Abigail and Bright are here.
"Hello Mr. Fang Ming, I didn't expect to meet you here, I originally planned to visit you in Gu Xuan Zhai."
Abigail's face was not very good-looking, he had originally planned to talk about cooperation with Fang Ming, but when he saw Fang Ming and Lu Yao together, he knew that his plan was likely to fall through, unless he could persuade the company to cooperate with Lu Yao as well.
"Heh, we have a saying, it's better to meet than to meet, it seems that we are destined to meet."
Fang Ming remained silent, he didn't know the other party's intentions for the time being, and he naturally wouldn't show his emotions.
"Today's occasion is not very appropriate, I wonder if I can find a place to sit after the auction is over?"
Abigail looked at Lu Yao as he spoke, the look on his face was a little hesitant, and he seemed to have other emotions.
"No problem, I'm here to add an auction today, let's talk about anything after the auction is over."
Fang Ming did not refuse Abigail's invitation, and nodded in agreement.
After getting Fang Ming's consent, Abigail and Bright turned around and walked away.
After leaving Fang Ming and Lu Yao, Abigail looked around and said to Abbright in a low voice:
"Bright, what do you think of this auction?"
Sighing softly, Bright said, "Yes, very good." Lu Yao used to be a master in our company, her planning is definitely the top in the world, to be honest, her departure is definitely a big loss for our company. ”
"You see, these antiques that are about to be auctioned are all good things, and some of them can become the main ones of a certain quarter of auction even if they are placed in our company."
Bright is a master of identification, these antiques that Lu Yao wants to auction are all placed on the shelves openly, and after looking at a few pieces, he immediately came to a conclusion, of course, this conclusion is not a good thing. Because this shows that Lu Yao is likely to have sufficient channels for artworks, what is the most important thing for the auction company? Is it an auction company or an auction company where there is no way to auction the incoming goods?
Therefore, Lu Yao is likely to become a huge opponent, and Bright has just gotten a stake in the company and become a shareholder of the company, so naturally he doesn't want to see the emergence of a huge opponent.
"Not to mention the set-up of her scene."
Abigail frowned, and said, "In this case, we are going to teach her a lesson, or we will be in big trouble when she grows up." ”
"Yes, but ......"
Bright pointed at Fang Ming and said, "This Fang Ming is our main target here this time, seeing that he has a good relationship with Lu Yao like that, if we deal with Lu Yao, I'm afraid it will cause Fang Ming's displeasure." ”
Hearing Bright say this, the fire of jealousy that had already erupted before Abigail rushed up again, and said coldly: "Hmph! I think your worries are a little unnecessary. This Fang Ming is just a businessman, as long as we give him enough benefits, such as agreeing that he can auction the antiques in his Gu Xuan Zhai in our auction company, are we afraid that he will not agree? ”
