Chapter 172: Ask Fang Ming
Chapter 172 asked Ji Fangming
Fang Ming and Wan Hua had breakfast in the compound, and after eating, Ding Hao first sent Wan Hua to the office, and then said to Fang Ming:
"Mr. Fang Ming, I don't know if there will be anything going on? If not, how about we find a place to sit? ”
"Okay."
As soon as Fang Ming heard this, he knew that Ding Hao must have something to find him.
I found a café and sat down, because it was the time to go to work in the morning, so there was no one in the whole store except for the two of them, the soft music echoed, and the decoration was really good, Fang Ming's mood was even happier.
"Mr. Fang Ming, the Blue Mountain coffee here is still good, you must know that there are really not many of them, although many places say that they are Blue Mountains, but the origin and variety are problematic."
After the coffee came up, Ding Hao immediately introduced it to Fang Ming diligently.
"Well, this thing seems to be the same as some foreign wine, obviously there is not that much quota for imports, but it has to be sold everywhere, and most of it must be fake."
Fang Ming took a sip and found that it was really very different from what he had drunk before. He immediately remembered a passage he had seen on the Internet before, describing the characteristics of Blue Mountain coffee:
Real Blue Mountain coffee refers to the coffee brewed from the coffee beans of the Jamaican Blue Mountain, which is characterized by full grains, aroma reading > novel ybdu is very strong and smooth, and has a long-lasting fruity taste, after drinking it can have an endless aftertaste, this is because this coffee can perfectly blend sour, bitter, sweet and mellow,
Putting down the coffee cup, Fang Ming said to Ding Hao with a smile: "Secretary Ding, I don't think I can drink it if I didn't come with you, right?" ”
In fact, as soon as I arrived here, Fang Ming found that although this café is in the center of the city, it is not easy to find, and after coming in, I found that the shop is not too big, and the decoration is too luxurious, which is a typical "private" nature, that is to say, although this café is also open to do business, anyone can come in, but because of the location, there are not many people who know, so outsiders come less, and even if they come, they may not be able to drink pure Blue Mountain coffee.
Only a regular customer like Ding Hao, or a regular customer with a certain background, can drink it - as the secretary of the mayor of Ningdong City, his energy is not ordinary.
Sure enough, Ding Hao nodded and said, "Yes, there are relatively few of these things, and not ordinary people can drink them." Well, if you like coffee, I'll talk to the people in the store and ask them to prepare something good for you the next time you come. ”
"Heh, since that's the case, I'd better be respectful."
People in the rivers and lakes, it is impossible not to deal with others, a fence has three piles, let alone people? At this time, Fang Ming could naturally see that Ding Hao should have something to ask for himself, anyway, this was not a matter of principle, of course he would "bear it".
After chatting for a while, Ding Hao finally got to the point.
"Mr. Fang, that's the case, I suddenly became very interested in this last night when I saw your process of appraising antiques, and I want to study it, I'm afraid I will trouble you more in the future."
Fang Ming thought it was something else, but he didn't expect that it was Ding Hao who wanted to learn antiques. If something is good, it will be tended to be at the bottom. He immediately understood that Ding Hao should have seen Wanhua love antiques so much, so he had such a thought.
"No problem, it's just a small matter, Secretary Ding, if you have time in the future, you can come to my shop, and we'll talk together."
"Hmm."
Ding Hao thought for a while, and then said: "I just want to understand, I don't want to become an expert in identification, I don't know if there is any quick way to do this?" ”
"Yes."
Fang Ming immediately said: "In fact, antiques are very complicated, and it is indeed very simple to say simple, if you just want to have a preliminary understanding, then you can actually find some books that are specially introduced, such as porcelain, buy a copy, read it well, and know the characteristics of porcelain in each period, of course, including the characteristics of craftsmanship and art, so that even if you encounter a need to play in the future, you will have something to say." ”
Without ten or eight years of hard work and accumulation, it is impossible for the antique team to cultivate a viper-like vision - not everyone has obtained Pixiu's ability inheritance like himself, so if Ding Hao just wants to have a rough understanding, Fang Ming feels that there is no problem, but if it is said that he is an expert, he does not dare to agree.
"In this way, even if you encounter a time when you need to play in the future, you have something to say", hearing this, Ding Hao knew that Fang Ming understood his purpose.
"Well, yes, you're right, that's what I'm aiming for."
For this, Ding Hao has nothing to admit it, this is not speculation, at most it can only be regarded as a small conspiracy.
"Secretary Ding, I'll bring you a few books another day, you can read them when you have time, and I found that the mayor is more interested in calligraphy and painting, we can focus on this aspect."
Except for the fact that last night's appraisal was a painting, the scope of discussion between Wan Hua and himself during breakfast just now was also focused on calligraphy and painting, so Fang Ming knew that his interest must be on this.
After hesitating for a moment, Ding Hao said, "Mr. Fang Ming, I want to ask a question, do I prepare an antique for the mayor?" ”
Gift-giving is a phenomenon that has existed since ancient times, it is not strange to hear Ding Hao say this, Fang Ming is not at all, Ding Hao can not ask for nothing when he is Wanhua's secretary, and if he asks for something, he wants to please Wanhua, since Wanhua likes to collect, then he has to give antiques as a gift.
In fact, Ding Hao has been thinking about this question for a long time, but he can't make up his mind, and there is no one to discuss at ordinary times, after all, Wanhua is not an ordinary official, but definitely has a chance to become one of the giants in the future, and what he is most worried about is self-defeating.
"Secretary Ding, you should know better than me about the mayor's temperament, and you should know better than me whether he is willing to accept such a gift. In my opinion, the mayor has a strong ability to appreciate and appreciate in this regard, and ordinary antiques will definitely not be put in his eyes. Let's put it this way, if you convert it, you have to at least 2 million to 3 million antiques to be able to enter his eyes. ”
Ding Hao was naturally not a fool to be Wanhua's secretary, he knew what it meant as soon as he heard Fang Ming's words: if he sent such an antique to Wanhua, the way he came from would be a problem, after all, he would be able to afford an antique at this price with his own salary. If it were an ordinary official, he might not care about such a thing, but Wanhua is different, although he loves antiques, but in the past few years, Ding Hao has not seen him buy a few pieces by himself, most of them are sent by others to appreciate, and after a period of time, they will be handed over to the relevant departments for safekeeping, for such a person, if he really does something to send millions of antiques, it is really difficult to predict what the consequences will be.
"So what am I going to do?"
has been Wanhua's secretary for several years, Ding Hao believes that his ability is quite good, and he also has his own news channels, knowing that Wanhua is likely to go further in the near future, and it is not suitable for him to follow up, so he wants to "please" Wanhua just to get a good place.
People are still needed, even at the level of Wanhua, but they must pay attention to the way and choose a good way!
But how easy is it to find?
The music in the café stopped at some point, so quiet that you could hear even a needle drop on the floor.
I don't know when a young girl came over, holding a coffee pot in her hand, and after filling the cups of the two people, she didn't leave, but sat down next to Ding Hao.
Fang Ming was stunned for a moment and looked at Ding Hao.
"This is my confidant, and she opened this café."
"Hmm."
Fang Ming looked at Ding Hao in surprise, the girl in front of him was not beautiful, she could only be said to be beautiful, and in his identity he wanted a lot of women, but in the end he chose such a person whose appearance was not outstanding, from this it can also be seen that Ding Hao's temperament, and letting her come out and challenge the relationship is to show her trust in herself, hoping that she can give him an idea.
Fang Ming didn't speak immediately, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a "dong dong" sound, his brows furrowed, not only to give a gift but not to be disgusting, and to accept it, this is not an easy thing, especially for a person with a high position like Wan Hua.
Ding Hao was very patient, and he didn't speak, just sat quietly, while drinking coffee slowly, this problem had been bothering him for a long time, and now it was up to Fang Ming to see if he could solve it for him.
"I have an idea, but I don't know if it's okay."
Ding Hao was overjoyed in his heart and said, "Mr. Fang Ming, you say." ”
"Antique players are most fascinated by one thing, and that's picking up leaks."
Fang Ming thought for a long time and felt that this was the only way, because this gift should not only make Wanhua happy and acceptable, but also not spend too much money, and the only way to achieve this purpose in the collection of antiques is to pick up leaks.
"Pick up the leak?"
Ding Hao's understanding of antique collecting was too little, and he couldn't understand what Fang Ming was saying at all.
"To put it simply, it's about buying good things for less, and that's picking up leaks. Since the mayor is a lover of collecting Fang Ming, he must be quite fascinated by this, we might as well find a time to pick up the leak with the mayor, if you are lucky, you will naturally be happy, if you are unlucky and do not pick up the object, it is also an opportunity to have a private activity with the mayor, I think it will be more or less beneficial. ”
"Good! No problem, I'll talk to the mayor sometime and see if I can arrange it. ”
After understanding what Fang Ming meant, Ding Hao's face showed joy.
"However, I can't be in Ningdong City, because I can't pick up the leak here, and others are reluctant to sell things to me when they see that I am coming, so I still go to other places nearby, and I will study the specific place."
"This ...... And such a thing? ”
Ding Hao was dumbfounded for a moment, he didn't expect Fang Ming to be so famous, what did he have to do to lead to such a result?
"Heh, I picked up the leak a little too hard to attract the attention of others."
Fang Ming smiled embarrassedly, his heart was also quite depressed when he talked about this.
"Hah! It's a testament to what you're up to. ”
Ding Hao finally came back to his senses.
Spreading his hands, Fang Ming just wanted to say something, but the mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he saw that it was Zhou Yafang's, he had a bad feeling in his heart - Zhou Yafang knew that he was here with the mayor, and if it wasn't for an emergency, it would be impossible to call.
"Fang Ming, come back quickly, someone wants to seal our shop."
Zhou Yafang's anxious voice came from the mobile phone, and Fang Ming stood up abruptly when he heard it, and said, "Okay, I'll rush back now!" ”
"Secretary Ding, something happened in the store, I'm going to rush back now, let's contact another day."
Ding Hao also stood up and said, "Let's go together, I'll take a look too." ”
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you."
The secretary next to the mayor is definitely a character, although he still can't figure out what is going on in the store, but Ding Hao is of course a good thing if he can go, Fang Ming understands that Ding Hao is repaying him with peach, and he gave him an idea, so he wants to help himself.
Fang Ming and Ding Hao hurriedly left the café, got in the car and went straight to the small antique street.
