Chapter 958: Temptation

"We ...... It's all in trouble all of a sudden. ”

James was silent for a moment, and then continued, "Well, let's do what we can ourselves." ”

The three of them had a preliminary agreement before, and even if this agreement was informal, it was an agreement after all, wasn't it?

Under normal circumstances, it will definitely be complied with, at least to a certain extent, but at this time, James said such a thing, which means that this matter is over, and the agreement reached by the three people before is already completed or invalidated.

Benjamin thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay." ”

The atmosphere between the three of them is no longer right, even if there is an agreement, it is actually the same, since this is the case, it is better to invalidate, and at the same time, he knows that the root cause of this matter is very likely to be here, so there is nothing to say.

"Well, I agree, it's up to each person."

Rupee is also a smart person, and many things don't need to be said too clearly. In fact, he also understood that as soon as he saw this sketch, he understood that there was no need for the previous agreement to exist, because this sketch was real.

Since it's true, no one among the three of them is willing to give up, so let's put the agreement or something like a fart.

Looking at the sketch placed in front of him, Benjamin's face showed a look of uncertainty about how to describe it.

In fact, not only him, but even James and Ruby have the same expressions on their faces.

Sketch, this sketch in front of me, that is, the news is still spreading, if this news spreads, it will really be amazing, it will definitely cause the entire Western art world to shake, such a sketch, how can Fang Ming ...... No, how could you let that person surnamed Deng get it in his hands?

If this sketch cannot be taken down, then the only possibility is that a work of art that occupies an extremely important position in the history of Western art will be brought back to China, and once such a thing happens, it will definitely not be easy to get it back.

For a little bit, not only Benjamin, but even James and Ruby, they all know it very well.

However, it is clear that no one in this world is a fool, if you want to fall this sketch from Fang Ming's hands, it is very difficult, and if you don't come out with a bloody return, it is something that you absolutely don't have to think about.

as

If it was possible, Benjamin wanted to snatch the sketch away, but as soon as he saw Zhao Zhuzi, who was standing like a fierce god, he could only sigh in his heart, and then give up this crazy idea: This big man is a person who came out of a special unit at first glance, and he is playing identification, not martial arts, I am afraid that as soon as I stretch out my hand, the other party will be able to twist my neck off, so let's be honest.

Actually, it's not just that he has such an idea, Ruby and James actually have such an idea, but after a glance at Zhao Zhuzi, he also gave up immediately, and it can be seen from this that Fang Ming is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he has already thought that such a thing may occur, and it has been arranged first.

"Since the three of us feel that there is no problem with this sketch, then there is no need to identify it anymore, let's go to Fang Ming, have a good talk, and see how we can take down the sketch."

At this point, James looked at Benjamin and then at Ruby, and continued: "I know that all three of us actually wanted to take this sketch, and that's very clear. I think that's fine, we'll each have it in a while. However, there is still a problem that we should pay attention to, that is, no matter which person gets the sketch in the end, it is better than not being able to take it. ”

"You must also know that if we can't get it this time, then this sketch will probably be brought back to Huaxia, in that case, we may never get it back. Tonight's auction is not official, and if we can't satisfy that Fang Ming or Miss Deng, this matter will be over. ”

Ruby and Benjamin were stunned for a moment, and then their faces immediately became serious, James was not wrong at all, this is indeed the case, and this question is a very important question.

"Well, that's fine, I ...... Will do my best to get this sketch down. ”

Rupee nodded, as the saying goes, once you enter the waiting door, it is as deep as the sea, and it is very correct to describe the collection of art in such words.

There are a lot of rich people in China, and it is difficult to say what will happen to this sketch once it is brought back, or rather, once this is missed today, if Miss Deng is unwilling to make this sketch again, the problem will be even more serious!

If the sketch in front of you is just an ordinary sketch, then there is no big problem, but the problem is that the position of the sketch in front of you in the history of art is too important, and it belongs to the kind of thing that must be taken down.

"Benjamin, I think you may have a better grasp of this sketch, so you must find a way."

Benjamin raised his eyebrows, James really has something to say.

sighed secretly in his heart, Benjamin knew that James must have known about his contact with Lu Yao, if this was only a suspicion before, then now James's words are already clear evidence.

"James, don't worry, I'm just as ambitious as you, so I'll do my best."

What else can Benjamin say? It is impossible for him to directly admit that he has been in contact with Lu Yao, and he has already had a better way to win that sketch, right?

It's one thing to be discovered, and it's another thing to admit it directly.

Ruby glanced at James and then at Benjamin, something must have happened, and he could confirm that now.

Of course, what happened, James didn't say, Benjamin didn't say, it was impossible to know for the time being, he was very curious, but now was not the time to inquire, but he secretly made up his mind in his heart that he would ask James what was going on after the matter here tonight was over.

Benjamin stood up and walked towards Fang Ming with James and Ruby.

Seeing Benjamin and the others walking towards him, Fang Ming knew that they had already finished the identification, and looking at their expressions, he knew that Benjamin and the others were already sure that the sketch was real.

"Sketch is good, isn't it?"

Benjamin nodded and said, "Yes, it's true." ”

"Mr. Fang, when I saw this sketch, I couldn't help but think, how did this sketch fall into your hands?"

James looked at Fang Ming and sighed softly. Everyone is a master, and there is no need to use such a trick as questioning whether the sketch is fake to reduce the price, and the reason why he said this is actually more unwilling.

"Heh, yes, Mr. Fang, I can't understand how this sketch could have fallen into your hands so coincidentally."

Ruby was also very depressed, he believed what Tom said before, that is, this sketch was originally in Tom's hand, but it was taken away by Fang Ming with a small trick at once.

"Well, yes."

Fang Ming spread his hands, how could he not hear the acetic tone in Benjamin and the others' tones?

However, Fang Ming didn't care about them, anyway, this sketch was in his hands, no matter how sour they were, they didn't have even the slightest relationship with him, so he just responded politely and then simply stopped talking.

Seeing Fang Ming like this, Benjamin, James and Ruby glanced at them, sighed in their hearts, and then shook their heads gently, Fang Ming's attitude like this is normal, and no matter how these people say, it can't change the fact that this sketch belongs to Fang Ming now.

Unless these people don't want that sketch, don't they have to look at Fang Ming's face?

Since this is the case, it is really not interesting to say such things to Fang Ming.

"Well, this sketch, I'll show up for 20 million dollars."

Ruby looked at Fang Ming and quoted the first price.

Fang Ming shook his head lightly and didn't speak, in Fang Ming's opinion, there was no need for the price of the rupee to be worth talking about at all, because ...... That's too little. Of course, he didn't have any more emotions, because this was only the first offer, and the rupee was just a temptation.

After the rupee finished bidding, he looked at Fang Ming.

Of course, this is just an offer, he hopes to test Fang Ming's attitude through such an offer, if Fang Ming reacts, it proves that this price can satisfy Fang Ming to a certain extent, at least it is a price that can be negotiated upwards.

However, he was disappointed, although Fang Ming reacted after listening to his offer, he also understood that it was just polite.

"Thirty million."

"Forty million."

"Fifty million."

……

The price rose very quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, it had reached eighty million, but, in Benjamin's opinion, even if such a price could not satisfy Fang Ming, there had to be an expression, right? However, they were very disappointed that during the entire bidding process, Fang Ming's face was almost never discussed, that is to say, even if the price had already been opened to 80 million, it was still early to reach the price in Fang Ming's heart.

Yes, that's right, of course, the price of this sketch in front of him is more than eighty million, Fang Ming's expression can only show that he is sober about the price of this sketch in front of him

That's not a good thing!
