Chapter 948: Joining Forces to Pressure?
Fang Ming nodded, of course he understood what Lu Yao meant, in fact, it was already very good to find out what treasures they had in their collection after knowing that they were going to be represented by Benjamin, so now this request made by Lu was very normal, and it was also something he wanted to do, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
"There's no problem, I'll deal with this, I'll find a way to solve this problem."
Lu Yao opened her mouth, this matter is not so easy to handle, of course she understands this, which person like Benjamin is not a real old Jianghu? How can it be so easy to get such important information out of their mouths?
However, since Fang Ming said this, then she didn't ask any more, and she believed that Fang Ming should have the ability to come up with a way, but herself, then she needed to dig out the "net worth" of Benjamin and the person they represented in Fang Ming.
For this, Lu Yao is very confident, she is an ambitious and ambitious person, so when she worked in a foreign auction company, she paid great attention to collecting this information, although a few years is not a long time, but it is enough for her to get a lot of information that others have not obtained and mastered, when she first collected such information, she didn't even know when such information could be used, or what kind of place to use it.
However, she believes that she will be able to do it one day, and now it seems that her efforts back then were very necessary, or now she would be blinded.
Fang Ming and Lu Yao didn't have to wait too long, because the other two people came quickly, just after two o'clock in the afternoon, they came.
Under Lu Yao's introduction, Fang Ming knew that the two people standing in front of him were named James and Ruby, and what Fang Ming didn't expect was that not long after these two people appeared, Benjamin also appeared, and it was obvious that he had been staring at the news in this regard.
Fang Ming's guess was not wrong at all, Benjamin had indeed been paying attention to the movement.
When he first arrived before, he hoped to take advantage of the opportunity of his early arrival to identify the sketch first, if it was true, then he didn't hurry up to finalize the matter, but he didn't expect to let Fang Ming refuse, the more he thought about it after going to rest, the more wrong it became, in case the two people who came later took advantage of the tempting conditions when he was not on the scene to take the sketch away, then wouldn't he run for nothing this time?
He has been in the circle for a long time, and he knows that in this circle, no matter what kind of thing can happen, so it is better to be careful before something is decided. Of course, at this time, I will go to Fang Ming
, That's not much meaning, because if you go to find Fang Ming again, Fang Ming can't take out the sketch for his own appraisal, or wouldn't this be a slap in the face? Even if it's a lie, it has to be told to the end, and he naturally knows this.
He thought of a way, that is, to give a little tip, let the hotel waiter pay attention to it, if someone has checked in recently, then pay attention to whether it is the person he is waiting for, because he has already known from Lu Yao who the other two people she also notified are, they are all people in the circle, and naturally they all have their photos, and if they show the photos to the waiter, they will immediately remember it.
So, when the front foot Ruby and the others arrived, he also arrived on the back foot.
Although he had already known that it was Ruby and James who came, Benjamin still sighed in his heart when he actually saw them, he knew that this time it was really not easy.
There are a lot of people here, and they are not ordinary people, and more importantly, Benjamin found that Fang Ming in this incident is really not an easy person to deal with, and all these factors add up, which immediately makes him feel like this.
Actually, it's not just him who feels this way, even Ruby and James feel this way.
Being able to roll around in this circle and become a huge celebrity, it is naturally impossible to do it just by relying on extraordinary vision, and the ability to observe words and emotions must also be very good, so although it was the first time they dealt with Fang Ming, they immediately knew that Fang Ming was not easy to deal with.
It's not instinct, it's a skill that has been given to them by years of experience.
For example, when Ruby and the others saw Fang Ming, they also said that they hoped to sign that sketch immediately, as Benjamin had asked before, and the thoughts in them were actually the same as Benjamin's, but Fang Ming also blocked them.
On the surface, it may not be anything special, because the reason Fang Ming said is also very reasonable, but it is precisely because of this that they are more cautious.
It's an uphill battle.
"Benjamin, you came before us."
When Ruby saw Benjamin, he also smiled and said hello, but this was a soft nail, which means that it is useless for you to come early, and now it is still the same as yourself and the people who came after you, we are very clear.
Benjamin is an old charlatan, and when he heard Ruby say this, he didn't
I care, because he knows that the upper rupee is not that he doesn't want to arrive early, but he just says that he has no choice, just looking at the way it is now, isn't he also in a hurry?
"Heh, Rupee, you're flying here?"
The meaning of Benjamin's words is also very clear, that is, you said that I am in a hurry, aren't you the same? It's just that it's a long distance, so it's slower than me.
"Heh, we ...... Do you want to find a place to sit down? ”
James saw that there was already a little anger between Benjamin and Ruby, so he started a round.
Ruby and Benjamin glanced at each other, and they immediately understood that this time the matter was actually not easy for everyone to deal with, if they said that they had fought the salt industry first, then the one who wanted to see such a situation the most, it was naturally Fang Ming, so they immediately nodded and agreed to James's proposal.
After seeing Benjamin appear, Fang Ming and Lu Yao didn't speak. They fight? Isn't that what you want to see the most?
Of course, neither Fang Ming nor Lu Yao had any opinions on James's proposal, one was that it was not a matter for everyone to stay in the lobby of the hotel now, and the other was that Fang Ming and Lu Yao also knew that old rivers and lakes like Ruby and Benjamin would never say that they would fight like this to make their own profits.
On the contrary, although there is competition between them, more of them must be cooperation, but the spearhead of cooperation, which is naturally aimed at themselves.
Fang Ming was very clear about this.
"Okay, let's find a place to sit down first."
The five of them found a corner in the hotel's café and sat down, although the environment here is indeed good, and the coffee is also very good, but whether it is Fang Ming or Benjamin, their minds are not on this.
Fang Ming is okay, because the sketch is in his own hands, which one to sell, the initiative is in his own hands, so he can sit firmly in the Diaoyutai, but Benjamin and them are different, now at least three people are competing, not only the people who get it compete with each other, but also to deal with Fang Ming, this battle is not so easy to fight.
"Mr. Fang, I think what you want to wait for is at this time, Miss Lu notified the three of us, and now the three of us have arrived, so I'm wondering, can we identify that sketch first?"
Ruby knew that everyone wanted the sketch in Fang Ming's hand now, of course, provided that the sketch was
Really, so, anyway, the main thing is to determine whether that sketch is real, if it is true, then come up with a trick, if it is not true, then it is pointless to fight for the head now.
He understood this deeply, so as soon as he sat down, he made such a request.
"Yes, Mr. Fang, now that we have arrived, I think it's time to identify a sketch, this is the basis for us to continue talking, I mean, if this sketch is real, everything is easy to say, if it is fake, then there is no point in saying more."
"That's right, that's what I mean."
On this issue, the three Benjamin are on the same page, so seeing that the rupee has spoken, they will naturally follow immediately.
Lu Yao couldn't help but look at Fang Ming with a little worry.
The three of Benjamin are all real masters in the field of art appraisal in the West, and they are now joining forces to put pressure on Fang Ming, this is not a joke, even if she is now a bystander, she has already felt the pressure.
However, she soon found that Fang Ming didn't feel it at all, and even, at this time, he still had the heart to pick up the coffee in front of him and take a sip, the key thing was that she found that Fang Ming didn't ease his emotions and pressure in this way, but really didn't take Benjamin and them in his eyes.
However, thinking about it again, Lu Yao found that this was actually nothing special, because who said that although the mink and the cicada were not very famous abroad, they were also killed in the wind and rain when he was in China, although Benjamin and the others are now joining forces to put pressure on Fang Ming, if it is said that this will cause huge pressure on Fang Ming, it is also unlikely.
"Yes, I know what you mean, but, before you came, I had already spoken to Mr. Benjamin, and now the sketch is really not in my possession, and tonight, I promise, you will be able to see it tonight."
Fang Ming put down the coffee cup in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Ruby very seriously, as if the words he said were related to the interests of all mankind
