Chapter 938: Confrontation
Fang Ming took a little time, about an hour to finish the dozen or so oil paintings in the gallery.
"How?"
Lu Yao saw that Fang Ming was back, and immediately spoke, in fact, she didn't need to ask her to know that the oil paintings here were very ordinary, she just said this to cooperate with the "performance", after all, she was just a middleman now, so she had to play the role of a good middleman.
Deng Li didn't speak, just stood, and as for Zhao Zhuzi, he stood behind Deng Li and didn't say a word.
"You tell him."
Fang Ming shook his head, pointed at Tom, and continued, "If everything here is of this level, then there is no need for us to waste time here anymore. ”
After listening to Lu Yao's translation, Tom immediately waved his hand and shouted, "I have all the good things here, don't you take a closer look?" ”
Fang Ming glanced at Tom, such a little trick dared to show off in front of him? He didn't say anything more, just told Tom his attitude with his actions and turned around and walked out.
"This ...... Don't go, sir, we have something else. ”
Of course, Fang Ming didn't really want to leave, he knew that since Lu Yao brought herself here, it meant that she thought that the Tom in front of her might have something good in his hand, and the reason why she posed as if she was going to leave was just to put pressure on the other party and let the other party take out the good things, so when he heard Tom speak for the time being, he naturally stopped.
Turning around, Fang Ming looked at Tom, and then said word by word: "If there are good things, take them out, if not, there is no need to waste time, we have to go somewhere else." ”
Fang Ming's tone was very tough, Tom could naturally hear it, so a hesitant look appeared on his face, and after a while, he looked at Lu Yao again, but found that Lu Yao's face was a picture of you looking at it yourself, so he fell silent again.
Seeing Tom like this, Fang Ming understood that he still had to put a little more pressure on him, so he said, "Okay, it seems that you don't have anything good here, let's go." ”
If you don't agree, you will leave immediately, now that you are a buyer, Fang Ming knows that for a person like Tom, if he really has something in his hands, plus Lu Yao is there, there is no problem of trust, then he is naturally an uncle, as long as the pressure exerted is strong enough, then Tom will definitely compromise, in this case, even if his behavior is excessive, there is no problem.
Although Fang Ming is young, he has long been proficient in this set of "tricks", so he is naturally comfortable with it.
"Okay, let's go inside."
Seeing Fang Ming like this, Tom knew that if he still insisted on his original opinion, Fang Ming would really leave, so he could only say such a sentence.
Fang Ming nodded slightly, he knew that what he had just said had initially caused pressure on Tom.
Walking behind Tom, there was a special reception room on the second floor of the gallery, and after Fang Ming and the others sat down, Tom first poured a cup of coffee for everyone, and finally sat down himself.
"You really don't think about the paintings out there at all? I admit that those are painted by some unknown oil painters, but you know, there are some oil paintings, although they are not paid now, but they may be worth money in the future, for example, Van Gogh, you all know that when he was alive, Wei Qinghe's paintings were basically not worth any money, but after he died, to this day, his pictures are sky-high, so in my opinion, the paintings outside are also collectible. ”
Tom didn't give up right away, but continued to sell it.
Tom was indeed right, Van Gogh, whose full name was Vincent William van Gogh, was a Dutch post-impressionist painter. His paintings were the forerunners of Expressionism, and his artistic achievements were so high that they later deeply influenced the Twenty-One, and from this point of view, no matter how high the evaluation of him is, it is not too much, for example, the later Fauvism and Expressionism were deeply influenced by him. His paintings such as "Starry Night", "Sunflowers" and "Wheat Field with Crows" have become the most famous works of art in the world, and the price is needless to say. For example, on November 11, 1987, one of his "irises" sold for $53.9 million, in 1987, one of his sunflowers sold for $39.5 million, and in 1998, one of his self-portraits without a beard sold for $71.5 million!
If these paintings were to be put up for auction now, the price would be unimaginable.
"Huh."
Fang Ming smiled, although he had put a certain amount of pressure on Tom before, he also understood that this matter would not go so smoothly, so it was not strange for Tom to say such things now.
"First, what you said is indeed a fact, but not all paintings by non-famous painters are worth collecting, and those that are worth collecting must be technically mature
With the passage of time, once such a painting has been recognized by mainstream art critics, it is possible that the value of soaring, Van Gogh's paintings belong to this kind. In this respect, the paintings in your gallery do not have such paintings at all, and all I see are paintings that have appeared a long time ago, and basically they have not reached the peak of the current painting methods, that is to say, such paintings are just imitations, and the people who painted them are also very unknown, so there is no value in collecting. ”
"Second, the oil paintings of unfamous oil painters, even if they have a collection value, at least one must have one, that is, the age should be relatively old, which is like an antique from us, the paintings you hang outside are all recent, and the oldest ones are not more than ten years, what is the value of collection?"
Fang Ming understands that if he wants Tom to take out the good things in his hands, then he must show his strength, that is to say, he must show that he is an expert, otherwise, the other party will feel that he is a person with no eyesight, in that case, even if he takes out something, it will not be much better, because Tom must have the psychology of wanting to fool himself.
At this point, there is no difference between domestic and foreign.
Therefore, Fang Ming didn't save any face for Tom when he spoke now, but slapped him in the face hard, he knew that the harder he beaten, the more the other party would pay attention to him.
Tom's face was red and white for a while, and he couldn't speak, because Fang Ming was not wrong at all, and that was the case.
Not all oil paintings have collection value, for those oil paintings that are not famous now and have a relatively low price, it is indeed as Fang Ming said, one is characteristic and the other is historical, or there is really not much collection value.
The paintings in his gallery, Tom naturally understands what is going on, they are all painted by some painters who are very unsatisfactory and have no new ideas, such paintings can still be sold for a little money, but if it is said that the value of the collection, it is really not.
Tom originally thought that Fang Ming was from a country that was not familiar with oil painting, so he waited for a moment, but he didn't expect to let Fang Ming "count" mercilessly, and the important thing is that he really had no way to refute it.
"Heh, this...... This ......"
Tom has been doing this for a long time, but he still can't come up with this.
see
Tom was like this, Fang Ming did not give up his "attack", but continued: "I still said just now, if there is something good, then take it out, if not, then there is no need for us to waste time here, there is no need for this, right?" Well, Tom, think about it. ”
Deng Li didn't speak, but she kept observing Fang Ming. To be honest, she didn't expect Fang Ming to be so tough! However, she also found that Fang Ming's effect was very good, because Tom's reaction at this time illustrated the problem.
A layer of sweat appeared on Tom's forehead, he really hadn't dealt with someone as direct as Fang Ming, the people who came to buy things from him before, including Lu Yao, didn't say that they regarded themselves as uncles, at least they were communicating more peacefully, why? Don't you just want to take out the good things yourself?
However, this Fang Ming in front of him was different, his attitude was very tough!
It's clearly a picture that you can quickly take out if you want to sell it, or forget it.
Without any psychological preparation at all, he found that he really couldn't react for a while.
Lu Yao's heart secretly gave a thumbs up.
Tom is an old Jianghu, he used to deal with him was also very difficult, you have to try your best to satisfy the other party, including in the price and so on to make concessions in the other party will take out the things in hand, this is also no way, you must know that in the circle, this Tom actually still has some fame, and there are indeed some good things in his hands, so if you want to get his good things, it can only be concessions.
However, now Fang Ming used another way, using a tough attitude to deal with the other party, however, now it seems that the effect of this method is very good!
Fang Ming is indeed a master!
Lu Yao sighed in his heart
