Chapter 76: Black Market Scene
"Mr. Fang, Miss Zhou, you are here."
Seeing Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang coming over, Sikong Zhe immediately greeted him, and his behavior immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Sikong Zhe had a very high status among the people at the scene, so as soon as he appeared, there were many people around him, and these people were all vying to talk to him, and at this time, seeing him greet the two young people, where might he not be surprised?
"Hello, Mr. Sikong, it seems that we are late."
Fang Ming immediately took a few quick steps and stretched out his hands to Sikong Zhe first.
"Come, I'll introduce you to some old friends."
Sikong Zhe brought Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang to the people who surrounded him before, and introduced them one by one, and this move once again caused a small "commotion", which was really rare for people like Sikong Zhe.
After some introductions, Fang Ming, Sikong Zhe and Zhou Yafang walked to the corner.
"Mr. Sikong, thank you."
There is no need for Sikong Zhe to introduce himself and Zhou Yafang at all, of course Fang Ming understands this, so he must say this - this is an advertisement for himself and Zhou Yafang.
Shaking his head, Sikong Zhe said, "You're welcome, this is just a gesture for me." ”
"But it's a very important thing for us to read & 1 & book & read & novel {.{ yb}{du}.} Feeling. ”
Zhou Yafang knew that the people who could talk to Sikong Zhe must be people in the same circle, and this was also confirmed in the introduction just now, they are often stock market tycoons or CEOs of listed companies, and more importantly, since they are all here tonight, they must all be lovers of antique collections, these are potential customers, so Sikong Zhe's seemingly simple introduction may bring important customers to himself and Fang Ming.
"Heh, you're really welcome, I'll have to rely on you to help me check tonight."
Fang Ming glanced at the antiques around him, and after thinking for a while, he said, "This is naturally no problem, but, Mr. Sikong, which one or several antiques do you have your eye on?" ”
There are a lot of antiques that appeared here tonight, and Fang Ming knows that even with Sikong Zhe's financial resources, it is impossible to take down all the antiques, so he must have his own goals.
Sure enough, Sikong Zhe said: "Although there are a lot of antiques here tonight, what I want most is the bronze square tripod, although I have some research on antiques, but the bronze is relatively unfamiliar, so I can only ask the two." ”
Fang Ming knew which antique Sikong Zhe wanted as soon as he heard it, because although there were many antiques on the scene, there was only one bronze.
"Okay, no problem, you can rest assured in this regard, I will not let you buy fake things."
Sikong Zhe glanced at Fang Ming, a little surprised in his heart, to be honest, he didn't know where Fang Ming's confidence came from, few people in the antique collection dared to pat their chests and say that their appraisal must be accurate.
"Of course, I want to take a look at that bronze, I wonder if the organizers have any restrictions in this regard?"
If he wanted to identify that bronze artifact, Fang Ming must have picked it up with his own hands, otherwise Pixiu's ability would not have been able to play a role.
"There is no problem with this, all the antiques that appear here tonight are millions of things, if you don't even pick it up and take a look, it will be too unreasonable, there will be a special link for a while, we buyers or invited experts can get started."
Sikong Zhe's words made Fang Ming's heart relax at once, as long as he could get started, there would be no problem at all.
"Then there will be no problem at all, don't worry."
Sikong Zhe glanced at Fang Ming again, he found that Fang Ming's confidence was a lot stronger at this moment, and it was not strange to have confidence at all, but the strange thing was where did Fang Ming's confidence come from? And how could it suddenly be a little stronger in such a short period of time?
Zhou Yafang is not as calm as Fang Ming, she is an expert in antique collection, but she is not proficient in all kinds of antiques, and the bronze that Sikong Zhe wants tonight is the field she is not very good at, so after Sikong Zhe left temporarily, she immediately said anxiously: "Fang Ming, are you really sure?" ”
"I'm not sure that we'll have to bite the bullet at this time, but we're his antique consultants, so it's impossible to say that we don't understand anything now."
"You!"
Zhou Yafang rolled her eyes angrily and said, "No one is proficient in all antiques, even if we are his antique consultants, it is not surprising that if we don't understand, we can't say that we can't understand." No, I have to make it clear to Sikong Zhe. ”
"Sister Avon!"
Fang Ming saw Zhou Yafang turn around and want to leave, so he immediately reached out and grabbed her, and said with a smile: "Sister Yafang, I was joking just now, since I said so, I am naturally confident that I will be able to do it." ”
"Fang Ming, have you only been in the industry for a few days? Bronzes are one of the most difficult types of antique collections, did you know? ”
Zhou Yafang was even more anxious, and her pretty face became red because of her urgency.
"Sister Avon, don't forget, although I haven't been in the industry for a few days, I have missed a lot of things, and the most recent one is Chenghua Doucai."
Zhou Yafang quieted down suddenly, Fang Ming was not wrong at all, although he had not been in the industry for a few days, he had picked up a lot of antiques, each of which was not a simple thing, so it was impossible to measure Fang Ming's ability purely by the time he entered the industry.
"Well, you have a point, although I think it's very unreliable, but I can only choose to believe you."
Of course, Zhou Yafang knew what kind of bad effects would be brought about by going to Sikong Zhe at this time to tell Sikong Zhe that she and Fang Ming were not capable of appraising bronzes: although she believed that Sikong Zhe would be able to understand that she and Fang Ming could not identify bronzes, it was hard to believe that Sikong Zhe would be happy.
In view of Fang Ming's strong ability to pick up leaks before, Zhou Yafang finally chose to gamble, betting that Fang Ming's good luck or intuition that didn't know where it came from could play a huge role again.
There were more and more people coming from the hall, there were more than a hundred people, looking at these people in front of him, Fang Ming couldn't help but be surprised.
Touching his nose, Fang Ming said to Zhou Yafang: "Sister, is this still an auction on the black market?" ”
Shaking her head, Zhou Yafang also sighed and said, "I have already told you before, but now everything is different." ”
After a pause, Zhou Yafang continued: "Actually, the origin of many things in this is not too clear, but there are still a lot of people who buy it, of course, there has always been a conventional practice in our antique collecting industry, that is, no matter whether the thing comes from the right way or not, as long as you are willing to accept it, but it must not be allowed to flow abroad." ”
Fang Ming nodded lightly, understanding the meaning of Zhou Yafang's words, due to many other reasons, there are many antiques scattered outside, and a considerable number of them are national treasures. In recent years, the matter of being good at animal heads has been even more hyped, so the conventional rules mentioned by Zhou Yafang should indeed be the principle that all people who play antique collecting should adhere to.
"Tonight, I'm afraid it won't be good."
Fang Ming pointed to a few people in the crowd who were obviously different from the Chinese people, and the expression on his face sank.
Zhou Yafang naturally noticed this, shook her head, sighed, and said, "Everyone in this world has it. ”
Fang Ming also shook his head, knowing that there would definitely be a confrontation in a while.
"Hah! This is Mr. Fang Mingfang, it seems that he is really a hero and a teenager. ”
At this moment, a hearty voice suddenly sounded beside him, and when he looked back, he found that Sikong Zhe was striding over with the old man.
"Hello, I'm Fang Ming."
Fang Ming was secretly surprised in his heart, he knew that Sikong Zhe's status was already very high, but now he was by the old man's side, which showed that this old man's status was even higher.
"Fang Ming, Miss Zhou Yafang, this is Mr. Wu Zewu, our famous patriot, and also a lover of antique collections, he also came here tonight to have a look."
Fang Ming has been in Ningdong City for a relatively short time, and he doesn't know much about Wu Ze, but just because he doesn't know doesn't mean that others don't know, Zhou Yafang was secretly surprised when he heard it.
Wu Ze, returned overseas Chinese, when he was a child, he sold "piglets" with his father to Nanyang, which is now Southeast Asia, one of which is not a kind of arduous process is not enough for outsiders, in short, to his generation's family fortune of hundreds of millions, after returning to China, all his energy is devoted to charity activities, because he is a collector, so the main energy is to invest in the recycling of antiques that have been left outside, so he is very famous in the antique collection world. However, although this person said that he had recovered a lot of antiques and donated them to the country, he was not good for fame and fortune, so not many people knew about him except for a certain circle.
"Hello Old Wu."
As a peer of antique collectors, Zhou Yafang admires people like Wu Ze quite a lot.
After shaking hands with Zhou Yafang, Wu Ze said: "Miss Zhou, I have heard of your name from time to time in recent years, and it seems that there are successors in the collection community of our Ningdong City." ”
"Old Wu's ancestral home is from our Ningdong City, and this time I came back to Ningdong City mainly to worship my ancestors."
Zhou Yafang hadn't heard of this either, "Ah! Wu Lao is still from our Ningdong City! ”
"Heh, Ningdong City is my hometown."
Wu Ze said and looked at Fang Ming again, and said with a smile: "Fang Ming, if you miss something good in the future, remember to call me, can't it be cheap Sikong Zhe, this kid, you may not know that on the night of his birthday, with the set of utensils he bought from you, he had to spend a whole night!" ”
I didn't expect Wu Ze to say such a sentence at all, Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang were stunned all of a sudden.
