Chapter 1055 Details
Xie Zhongzhong pointed at Xie Ruifang and said, "Let Ruifang tell you about this matter, she is handling the whole thing, and she is more familiar with the situation." ”
Xie Ruifang nodded, took over, and said, "Fang Ming, the whole thing is simply like this, because our Xie family has frequently made moves in the art market in the past few years, and slowly its fame has spread. You also know that sometimes we encounter things in our circle, and where these things come from...... Not too formal. ”
Fang Ming naturally understood what Xie Ruifang meant.
In fact, when you play collecting, you will often encounter such a situation, that is, the things you collect are not coming from the right way, such as tomb robbery, or smuggling, etc., these are very common things.
Many times, everyone knows such things, or they think they don't know.
After all, the collection is playing with ancient things, how can it be said that every piece is clear and legitimate? Not to mention, collecting has been closely associated with such things as tomb robbing since 1,000 or hundreds of years ago.
"Originally, even if we encounter such a thing, it is not strange, and our approach is very simple, not to people, as long as the thing is good, then no matter what kind of way it comes from, take it and talk about it."
Because of Wu Yong, Xie Ruifang is also very direct when talking to Fang Ming now, but he doesn't hide it at all.
"Yes, that's normal, too, then...... What kind of thing happened to you? ”
Xie Ruifang's approach is indeed not a problem at all in the circle of collections, it is normal, if it is just like this, then they have no reason to find themselves.
"That's right."
Xie Ruifang's brows furrowed, "Didn't you say just now, someone has found us, and besides, there are a lot of things this time." ”
Fang Ming's heart jumped, thinking that this was the case.
Whether it is tomb robbery or smuggling, this is not strange in the circle of collecting, but, generally speaking, the number of such things is not too much, but now listening to Xie Ruifang's words, the number is a lot.
In this way, things are a little weird.
"A lot?"
Xie Ruifang nodded heavily and said, "Yes, very much." ”
His brows furrowed, Fang Ming knew that he could make Xie Rui
Fang said a lot of these things, and it must have been quite a lot.
A lot?
A lot of antiques from the wrong place?
How is this possible?
If it was ten or twenty years ago, maybe it was still possible, but now it is very impossible, one is that the whole world is now more strictly controlled, and the other is that those that have not been discovered or even if they have not been discovered, they have already been poached, so a large number of such things are already very confusing.
Looking at Fang Ming, Xie Ruifang said, "Because the quantity is huge, we also feel that this thing is very wrong. ”
"Hmm."
Fang Ming thought for a moment and said, "You guys...... Have you ever been to see those antiques? ”
Shaking his head, Xie Ruifang said, "We didn't actually see those antiques. ”
"Oh?"
Fang Ming looked at Xie Ruifang incomprehensibly and said, "You mean that you know a lot of them through other means?" ”
"That's right, the person who came to us brought a sample, and at the same time, he also brought a video and some photos, which can be seen from the fact that there are a lot of them."
"The quality of the samples is very good?"
Fang Ming understood that if it weren't for the fact that the person showed Xie Ruifang, the quality of the sample antiques they showed was very good, and Xie Ruifang or Xie Zhongzhong would not be tempted.
"Well, I've done it, and it's a very good thing indeed."
Xie Zhongzhong took over and said: "It belongs to the very, very good kind, if all those in the other party's hands are of the same quality, then this is definitely a terrible thing." “
"Hmm."
Although I don't know what Xie Zhongzhong saw, since he dared to say this, it proves that what he saw is indeed a good thing, of course, this can't actually explain more things, because since the other party has come to the door, it means that he has already been prepared, and it is not strange to take out a good thing.
"Did you ask to see that batch of antiques?"
Now the crux of the problem lies in the huge number of antiques, if those things are real, the whole thing has nothing to say, find a way to take it, to such an extent, in fact, it is a matter of money.
"Me
They said they wanted to see it, but they were refused. ”
Xie Ruifang spread his hands, with a helpless expression on his face.
"Huh?"
Fang Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "This ...... Impossible, right? Since they came to the door, they must have come to the door for money, and they wanted to sell what they were holding, so it was impossible not to show you it. ”
"Normally, that's true, but they refused."
"Oh? What's with? ”
Fang Ming knew that there must be a special situation here, otherwise it would be meaningless for the other party to come to the door, and he believed that the other party was also very clear about this.
"And after they fished our appetite, after we offered to see the antiques, they told us that there was going to be an auction and that if we were interested, we would go there, which means that if we wanted the antiques, we had to go to the auction live."
As soon as Fang Ming heard this, he immediately understood the other party's plan.
First, the auction, in fact, to put it bluntly, is someone to compete, and in the case of competition, the price of the same antique may rise to a very high level. Second, and more importantly, in the case of auctions, because the appraisal time is relatively small, the occurrence of errors is very large, that is, this is very advantageous for sellers who want to fish in troubled waters.
Fang Ming was also a master in this industry, so he understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.
"It's actually normal for things like that."
Xie Zhongzhong nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed normal, but for us, the risk is countless times greater. ”
"To be honest, I can't identify a lot of antiques in a very short period of time, but we want that batch of antiques very much, so this thing is ......."
Fang Ming hadn't seen those antiques, so he didn't know that Xie Ruifang and they definitely wanted to get those antiques, but now was not the time to study this issue.
"We know some information about you from some sources, so we hope to find you, but after all, the time is too tight, so there is no way, but I didn't expect to meet you at the auction."
Xie Ruifang can be regarded as telling the ins and outs of the matter now.
"It seems...... My reputation is still quite good. ”
Fang Ming's words made everyone laugh, and Lu Yao said even more: "This ...... Fang Ming, you're too ......."
Although Lu Yao's words were not finished, the meaning was self-evident.
"Fang Ming, you are a master of picking up leaks in our circle, and as far as we know, you are very quick when you pick up leaks."
This is what Xie Zhongzhong values Fang Ming the most.
Pick up the leak, many people think that it is okay to have eyesight, but in fact, it is not like this, just having eyesight is not good, because it is not possible to pick up the leakage accurately, and it has to be fast and ruthless, that is to say, the shot must be fast, the start must be ruthless, and the sight must be accurate, if it is not so, there is no way to pick up the leak.
It's the same as gambling.
Fang Ming was undoubtedly a master in this regard, according to the news he knew, Fang Ming made a move extremely fast, and he almost knew whether it was a good thing at a glance, and until now Xie Zhongzhong still hadn't figured out what was going on and how Fang Ming did it.
As an expert in this area, Xie Zhongzhong naturally understands how difficult it is to identify antiques.
"Fang Ming, this time we can only look at you."
Xie Ruifang looked at Fang Ming, with a look of hope on his face, this time there were a lot of antiques, Xie Zhongzhong had already said that he couldn't grasp it, so now he could only put hope on Fang Ming's body.
"I'll try."
Because of the relationship between Xie Zhongzhong and Wu Yong, Fang Ming was not polite in this matter, and directly agreed.
"Great!"
Xie Ruifang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Fang Ming had finally agreed, to be honest, she was still a little skeptical about Fang Ming's ability before, but the auction process, especially after knowing that Wu Yong and Fang Ming were also very familiar with each other, she was completely relieved.
Wu Yong is a real master in the circle, if Fang Ming is not also a master, it is absolutely impossible to be so familiar.
"Fang Ming, who appraisals antiques, I still have some experience, has the time for that auction been set?"
Fang Ming remembered that Xie Ruifang had said that time was very tight.
"It's settled."
Xie Ruifang said: "The time is tomorrow night. ”
“
Oh? Time is so short? ”
Xie Ruifang nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, in fact, it turns out that we all want to give up this matter a little, after all, the risk is too great, because this auction has a requirement, that is, everything is packaged at once, if you want it, you don't want it all, the value is ...... It is estimated to be in the billions or more. ”
"Huh!"
Fang Ming was stunned for a moment, now he really understood what was going on, this kind of packaging method was originally extremely risky, plus this package was quite large, more than one billion, so it was impossible to think that the risk was not big.
This is the reason why Xie Ruifang and the others are very worried.
However, even so, it can be seen that Xie Ruifang's strength is actually very strong, because not all kinds of people can come up with more than a billion dollars to play like this
