Chapter 1045: The Road is Narrow

Lu Yao came back soon, and when he saw her, Fang Ming was still a little strange, and said, "So fast? ”

When Lu Yao left just now, it was less than five minutes, and it turned out that Fang Ming was still thinking that she was going to leave for a while, so he said that he wanted to let her hurry up and go automatically.

"It's just a phone call. In fact, I had been prepared for this before, not to say that I knew that such a thing would happen, but that when I was preparing for those people, I had already considered what to do in case something unexpected happened and I couldn't keep in touch with them. ”

Fang Ming's eyes lit up, he very much recognized this approach, although it would take more time to prepare in advance, and it was very likely that there were many things that could not be used, but such preparation was not optional, because if there was not enough preparation, for example, if something unexpected happened like now, then the problem would be serious.

"Okay, in that case, then we'll wait and see the excitement now."

There was still a little time before the auction officially began, Fang Ming, Annie, and Lu Yao simply looked around, and even more time would be spent tasting the snacks prepared by the organizers, or talking softly with the people who came here.

Because they have already determined which antiques will be sold and which will not, naturally they will not be crammed at this time.

But their actions made Yamada and Yoshino, who had been paying attention to them, more and more confused.

"Huh? That woman appeared with Fang Ming a few days ago, right? She didn't come just now, I thought Fang Ming had arranged for her to make some plans, but now it seems that this is not the case, she actually appeared. ”

Yoshino looked at Lu Yao, the expression on his face became a little solemn, he now knew Fang Ming's situation very well, as for Lu Yao, he had also collected a lot of relevant information, so he knew that Lu Yao was a general under Fang Ming.

"Oh, that's a good thing."

Yamada disagreed with him, and looked at Fang Ming not far away with a smile on his face.

"Oh?"

Yoshino also looked in the direction Yamada was looking.

"That Lu Yao, but a master of auctions, Fang Ming has such a person by his side, if he doesn't use it, it can only prove that this thing is weird, now that she is by Fang Ming's side, that is to help Fang Ming deal with the bidding on the spot, although he said

It makes it harder for us to shoot those things, but it proves that they don't have any special plans, and that's a good thing. ”

Yoshino thought about it, but finally nodded and said, "Yamada, what you said is not wrong, this is indeed the truth. Heh, if this Lu Yao doesn't appear here, then this thing is really weird, however, there is still something wrong with this matter, Fang Ming won't say it, Lu Yao is not a simple character, if they don't have a special arrangement for this auction, I don't think it's possible. ”

Shaking his head, Yamada said: "It's not surprising, now this is not Huaxia Country, the biggest possibility is that Fang Ming and they didn't expect that someone would recognize them here, so it's normal to not be prepared." Although Fang Ming came over before, it may be because some of our actions before made him notice us, but when he came, our response was still relatively reasonable, so I don't think it should have aroused his suspicion. ”

"Moreover, even if it has been brought to his attention, there is not enough time now, the auction is about to start, and even if he can think of a way, there is no way to implement it."

Yoshino's heart finally let go at this time, yes, what Yamada said was not wrong at all, indeed now even if Fang Ming realized that something was wrong, what could it be? No matter what kind of plan it is, it will take time to implement, and now the time is not enough, Fang Ming is a human being, not a god, and it is impossible to carry it out in such a short time. ”

It was because of Anne before, and now there is another Lu Yao, an Eastern and a Western, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all beauties.

Therefore, in fact, no matter where Fang Ming appears, they will attract the attention of others, and Fang Ming also understands very well that he is like a huge magnet now, attracting countless hatreds, but fortunately, what attracts people's attention at this time is the antiques or works of art that are on display.

"Fang Ming, is that bronze short sword real?"

As she walked, Anne suddenly pointed to a short sword about half a meter long not far away, with a curious expression on her face.

"You want to shoot it?"

Anne turned her head to look and found that Fang Ming's face was showing a strange expression, knowing that the so-called bronze dagger must have something wrong.

"Huh? It can't be fake, right? What about the starting price of 1 million? ”

Anne suppressed her voice and cried out in a low voice.

"If you want this, I'll get you a hundred and ten pieces another day."

Fang Ming rolled his eyes, he had just glanced at this bronze short sword before, especially when he saw that the reserve price had already been set, then he felt even more that this was clearly a cheat: if this thing was in China, it would be able to find it in any shop that sold bronzes, and this one that was auctioned now was really true!

But now, such goods can be put up for auction in a grand manner, which is to put it bluntly to deceive people.

"Ahh How is this possible? In today's auction, the auction company is so famous, how can such a thing happen? ”

Looking at Anne with a surprised expression on her face, Lu Yao shook her head gently, and also lowered her voice and said: "It's not strange at all, this doesn't mean that a big auction auction auction must be a good thing, of course, many people will feel like this, and this is exactly what the auction company wants to see, so they also take advantage of people's psychology, and often succeed in auctioning some very ordinary or even fake things at a very high price." ”

Anne knew that Lu Yao had worked in an auction company, and she was naturally very familiar with such a situation, so since she said this, it meant that this was the truth.

"But isn't the auction company worried? Because if you auction off fake things, won't you ruin their reputation? ”

Shaking her head, Anne said: "No, the auction company is an auction company after all, not an ordinary entity, and the auction of things actually depends on personal appraisal to put it bluntly." In fact, many auction companies, including the world's most famous auction companies, know that there is a problem with their auction items, for example, the bronze short sword in front of them, how can the auction company not know that it is fake? You must know that there are extremely powerful appraisers behind the auction companies. ”

Fang Ming nodded and said, "It's hard to say anything else, at least this bronze short sword in front of you, the appraiser of the auction company can't identify it, because it's really fake, for example, the so-called patina on it is actually the patina powder scraped off other bronzes with glue, and then brushed on it." ”

Hearing Fang Ming say this, Anne was even more convinced.

However, auction companies often turn a blind eye, and auctioning such auction items will not affect the reputation of the auction company at all. Because the auction company will add a sentence at the same time as the auction, that is, the auction company does not determine the authenticity of the auction item, etc., if there is such a sentence, then there is no problem at all. If someone is auctioned because of the big auction

If you think it's a real thing, a good thing, then it's really stupid and naΓ―ve. ”

Lu Yao's words made Anne speechless, but she knew that this was the truth, although she didn't know much about the auction industry, but the situation that Lu Yao said was very reasonable, especially driven by huge interests, it would definitely appear.

"Well, the water in here...... It does seem to be very deep. ”

After a long pause, Anne finally came to her senses.

"Therefore, auction is also a very deep knowledge, which is not something that ordinary people can understand."

Fang Ming shook his head gently, in the collection and sale of antiques or works of art, auction is a very important form, Lu Yao is an expert in this area, Fang Ming is very glad that he would cooperate with a master like Lu Yao in the "unintentional".

"Huh?"

Fang Ming and the three of them were chatting, but suddenly a low voice of surprise sounded around them, and when the three of them looked back, Fang Ming immediately recognized the person standing in front of him.

Li Hua!

It turned out to be Li Hua!

Fang Ming really didn't expect to meet Li Hua here!

Fang Ming didn't expect to meet Li Hua here, and Li Hua didn't expect to meet Fang Ming here!

As a person who plays antique collection, he definitely doesn't want to miss such an auction, for him, even if he didn't make a move in the end, but come and see, long insight, it is also very good.

And as a "local" person, Li Hua has a way, and as for the 5 million admission "deposit", it is not a problem, so he came.

Li Hua had actually seen Fang Ming from a distance just now, but it was just that he was a little far away, and the other thing was that he was not mentally prepared at all for meeting Fang Ming here.

After hesitating for a while, Li Hua finally walked over, and now he could be sure that he was not mistaken, it was indeed Fang Ming in front of him!
