Chapter 937: First Contact

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Fang Ming also laughed and said, "You can rest assured about this, identifying this matter is like drinking water to me, you also know, I made a fortune from this." ”

"Pounce!"

Hearing Fang Ming say this, Deng Li on the side couldn't help laughing, and Lu Yao's face also showed a smile, but thinking about it, Fang Ming was not wrong at all, it was indeed like this, didn't Fang Ming make a name for himself in the circle with his excellent appraisal skills?

Later, no matter how many things happened or how many plans there were, in fact, the most fundamental thing was based on identification, it was precisely because Fang Ming was a real master in this regard, so no matter what kind of method his opponents thought of, in the end, Fang Ming didn't have a solution, on the contrary, they let Fang Ming "kill" one by one.

The strength of the appraisal ability is actually like the waist of a person who plays antiques, a strong person, that waist is hard, no matter what kind of conspiracy he encounters, there is no problem at all, the reason why Fang Ming was able to quickly become famous in such a competitive circle of collecting is because of his appraisal ability.

A person who hasn't been a single slap in the eye since his debut except for picking up leaks, it's impossible to think of being famous.

"But the gallery is closed."

Fang Ming pointed to the closed door in front of him, a puzzled expression on his face. In front of the four people is the door of a gallery, although it does have a little taste from the decoration, for example, in front of the door is an oil painting with a height of two meters and a width of more than one meter, which is very revealing, but now this place is closed, and from the decoration outside the store, it is estimated that it is just a small gallery as Lu Yao said, maybe after entering it is a small space for modern warfare, and then there are a few oil paintings painted by unknown painters who don't know where they came from. Of course, there may also be several sculptures.

"This gallery belongs to Old Tom, I've dealt with him before, he lives here, I'll give him a call, and I'll just open the door."

Lu Yao said and took out his mobile phone, made a phone call and said a few words, and then hung up, after a while, the door of the gallery really opened, as if he was afraid of encountering a thief, at the beginning it was only half open, and after seeing clearly that it was Lu Yao, he finally opened it, revealing a face about sixty years old......

"Hahaha! Miss Song, why are you here? Don't call me before you come? ”

Tom walked over with a laugh, and looked at Fang Ming, Deng Li and Zhao Zhuzi as he spoke, with a very obvious doubt on his face, in fact, if he hadn't dealt with Lu Yao before and borrowed her hand to produce a few oil paintings, now at this time, he would not open the door but would directly make up an excuse to say that he was somewhere else, and he would come to him tomorrow during the day. However, after knowing that it was Lu Yao, Tom thought about it, he happened to have a few things recently, and if it was suitable, it would be a very good choice to sell them to Lu Yao.

The point is that I have already traded before, so I am very relieved. However, when he came out and found that Lu Yao was not one person but four people, he still had a little drum in his heart.

Fang Ming and Deng Si, these two people knew at a glance that they were not ordinary people, as for Zhao Zhuzi, it seemed that he was the one who could take the bodyguard out with the bodyguard, how could it be a simple character?

Lu Yao nodded and said, "Bring someone and see if you have any good things here." ”

Tom rolled his eyes, nodded immediately, and said, "Okay, let's take a look inside, although my gallery is small, but I have recently come to see if there are some good ones." ”

Lu Yao nodded and walked inside with Fang Ming.

"Bang Bang!"

Tom turned on the gallery light, and Fang Ming looked at it, and found that it was almost exactly the same as he had imagined before he entered.

Small, this is the first impression, yes, this is definitely a small gallery in front of me, estimated to be a little more than 100 square meters.

Old, this is the second impression, the gallery looks at the decoration, especially the walls, it has definitely not been renovated for many years, Fang Ming can even see that the walls have already shown signs of mold in quite a few places, and there are even traces of water leakage.

After entering, Fang Ming ignored Tom, he walked forward, and looked at the oil paintings hanging on the wall alone.

He looked at it quite seriously, after all, these paintings were now hanging on the wall, and he couldn't get started, so Pixiu's ability naturally didn't have much room to play, so although there were not many paintings on the wall, there were only about a dozen of them, but Fang Ming spent almost an hour, and this was already a lot of time for him to identify the artworks.

Seeing Fang Ming go to see the painting, Lu Yao knew that it would take time, so she chatted with Tom.

"Old Tom, what's the good stuff lately?"

Deng Li is also smart

People, as soon as they heard Lu Yao ask this, they immediately pretended to look at oil paintings and walked towards Fang Ming with Zhao Zhuzi.

Seeing this, Tom suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know where Fang Ming and Deng Li came from, so it was inconvenient to say a lot of words, at this time, seeing only himself and Lu Yao, of course, it was much more convenient, but he didn't answer Lu Yao's question, but pointed at Fang Ming and the others, and said in a suppressed voice: "This, Miss Lu, these people are ......"

Lu Yao knew that if she didn't introduce Fang Ming and others at all, an old fox like Tom wouldn't be at ease, but she wouldn't say it too clearly, pointing to Deng Li and Zhao Zhuzi and saying: "This is the buyer, the big black one is naturally her bodyguard, and the other one is the expert brought by the buyer, who is responsible for the identification, I said Tom, if you have something good here, take it out for me, if they take a fancy to it, it will naturally not be bad money, but I have to tell you well, that young man is a master, So don't take out that, or the business won't work, don't blame me. ”

Tom looked at Fang Ming, his eyes suddenly rolling. Fang Ming is in charge of the appraisal today? So young?

Lu Yao naturally noticed Tom's expression, and understood that she must have felt that Fang Ming was young and easy to bully, and she immediately sneered in her heart: This foreigner doesn't know how powerful Fang Ming is, and those who think he is young and easy to bully don't have a good end. However, this is not her business, her main task is to get Tom to spit out the good things in his hands.

Although Tom runs a small gallery, it doesn't look remarkable on the surface, but this is only a superficial phenomenon, in fact, Tom is also a well-known person in the circle, and he often has some good things on his hands, as for how these good things come about, it goes without saying, as long as the people in the circle understand.

Therefore, Tom has also become the person that some middlemen will find, Lu Yao has found Tom before, and the main way is to act as a middleman, come to Tom to buy things, and then sell them to buyers, so that Tom will reduce the danger of his own exposure, and as for buyers, there will also be no situation where his identity is known by more people because of this.

This kind of intermediary or agent method is very common in foreign art transactions, in the past, when she was in a foreign auction company, Lu Yao often did such things, so she is very familiar with people in this area, he knows a lot of people like Tom, which is actually an important reason why she dared to tell Fang Ming before that as long as Fang Ming's appraisal level is enough, she will definitely be able to return with a full load this time.

"Tom, do you have anything good here, if so, take it out, if not

Yes, I'm leaving, this time my schedule is tight, I won't waste time here if you don't have anything here. ”

Lu Yao said this to put pressure on Tom, let him know that he was not the only one who came to him this time, she knew that Tom must also know that in addition to being in contact with him, he also had contact with other people like him, in fact, people like Tom also have their own small circles, and in their circles, the information of all intermediaries and agents like herself will also be shared.

"Hahaha!"

Tom retracted his gaze, looked at Lu Yao, and said with a smile: "Miss Lu, don't need to pack, we have time, right?" This time, since your buyer is here in person, let them take a look at it first, maybe these oil paintings I put out, they have already selected the ones they like, if that's the case, then we don't have to bother with other things, right? ”

Shaking his head gently, Lu Yao said: "Okay, this is your opinion, if you offend people later and let this big customer go, then don't blame me, I will remind you first, the people who came today are not simple, you should be careful to deal with it, don't make me offend me in the end, I am with you, you have good things here." ”

"Hahaha! Don't worry, there's no problem, you're not wrong at all, I do have good things here. This time, you can rest assured, it will definitely satisfy you, but for now, let's wait and see, at least let them take a look at all the paintings I have hung out first, and see if there is anything they like, right? ”

Tom is also an old man, but he didn't let go, insisting that Fang Ming and others finish reading the paintings in his gallery first
