Fang Ming followed Lu Yao to her office, it was obvious that Lu Yao had no habit of drinking tea, and the tea set she saw in Gu Xuanzhai was not visible to her at all.

"I don't have your favorite tea here."

Lu Yao said, and took a bottle of mineral water for Fang Ming.

After taking it, Fang Ming sat down on the sofa and said with a smile: "Is it the case that those of you who have lived abroad for many years or who have worked in foreign companies are like this?" The pace of work is too fast, so even if you drink saliva, you have to pay attention to the mineral water that you drink when you twist the lid? ”

Lu Yao was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I don't know if this is the reason, in short, I seem to be more accustomed to drinking mineral water...... Your convenience may be a very important reason for this. ”

Fang Ming nodded lightly, thought about it, and found that there didn't seem to be anything special to say, so he simply said directly: "Here's the thing, I am planning to go abroad recently, the main purpose is to collect some things, especially the things that we have lost in Huaxia, but I am not too familiar with the environment and things abroad. I thought about it for a moment to see if you could arrange it here, and then went out with me. ”

Lu Yao's eyes lit up, and what Fang Ming said about being lost naturally meant the antiques and works of art that were lost.

In the last century, due to a variety of reasons, the number of antique artworks lost abroad by the country was very large, and Lu Yao's previous auction companies abroad were very clear about this situation.

Now that she heard that Fang Ming actually had such a plan, how could she be unhappy?

"Here on Dongcheng Street, can you go away?"

Fang Ming's importance to Dongcheng Street Lu Yao is very clear, and although he doesn't care about other things in Dongcheng Street, he only cares about the auction company, after all, he is the core personnel, and he also knows a rough idea of the many plans that are going on in Dongcheng Street now.

Therefore, in her opinion, Fang Ming seemed to be unable to leave.

"I have discussed this matter with Song Miao and Sikong Zhe before, and there is no problem."

As soon as Lu Yao heard Fang Ming say this, he knew that since he said that it was okay, it would definitely be okay.

"And when do you want to go?"

Fang Ming immediately said, "Naturally, the sooner the better." ”

"Oh? What's the plan? ”

Lu Yao was also a smart person, as soon as he heard it, he knew that Fang Ming must have already had a plan, so the reason why he said this and wanted to go out earlier was because he wanted to have more time to carry out his plan.

"Two plans, one is an auction, and we're going to some auctions."

Lu Yao nodded, she is in the auction industry, and recently several large auction companies will hold and conduct auctions, it is not surprising that Fang Ming has such a plan, and there will be many antiques lost in Huaxia at these auctions, Fang Ming is planning to start from the auction to see if he can get something. This is of course a good plan, in recent years, some large auction companies have always had a plan to auction foreign countries, that is, to use the Chinese people to buy some antiques lost abroad, so such antiques often appear in auctions.

Fang Ming wants to buy some antiques back in this way, this is actually the simplest and most effective way, but there is actually a problem with such a way, the antiques that appear at auction are not really boutiques, and even if they are not boutiques, more importantly, the prices of such antiques auctioned are often very high or even frighteningly high, this is because the auction company takes advantage of the psychology of the Chinese people.

Having worked in foreign auction companies for many years, Lu Yao is naturally very clear about a little bit.

"Fang Ming, this is a way, but it is not a good way, the antiques that have been lost in our country, the really good ones are in the hands of some private collectors, they will not be willing to take it out, even if we give more money, it is impossible."

Fang Ming nodded lightly, he had already thought of this situation before when Lu Yao said.

"So, we have another plan to make, and this plan may be more important, and it is precisely because of such a plan that I want to go abroad sooner. As long as we can find foreign art treasures, then we will naturally be able to exchange what we want from their hands, after all, no matter how good things are, they are not their traditional artworks, if we have their precious traditional artworks in our hands, they will definitely be willing to change them. ”

When he talked to Sikong Zhe and Song Miao about going abroad before, Fang Ming didn't say it in detail, mainly because Song Miao or Sikong Zhe were not real professionals, but now Lu Yao is different, she is very familiar with the situation abroad, especially the auctioned artworks, so Fang Ming thought

It is very important to say some of your thoughts carefully and listen to Lu Yao's opinion.

"I think there are antique shops in other countries like our domestic antique shops, right? As long as there is a place like this, that's where I can make a difference. ”

Fang Ming paused for a moment, and then said to Lu Yao: "Lu Yao, you know, my ability to pick up leaks has always been good, as long as there are leaks, then I will definitely be able to pick them up!" ”

Of course, there are "antique" shops of the same nature in foreign countries as in China, and because foreign artworks mainly exist in the form of oil paintings, drawings or sculptures, their so-called antique shops appear more in the form of galleries. Such a place is generally used to display and sell various works of art.

Of course, there are other stores as well.

Lu Yao is naturally very clear about these situations.

In fact, because she has worked in foreign auction houses for many years, Lu Yao is very clear about these situations abroad, and she even has the addresses and contact methods of most of the galleries abroad, as for other places to sell artworks in addition to galleries, and even some places that are not very visible.

These are not problems, what matters is what Fang Ming said, that is, the ability to pick up leaks by himself!

"You mean that you also have a deep study of foreign art?"

Fang Ming's ability to pick up leaks is now very famous in foreign circles, but, in Lu Yao's view, his ability is mainly reflected in traditional Chinese artworks, but when he heard what Fang Ming said, he also has in-depth research on foreign artworks, if this is really the case, then this matter is definitely a problem.

"Hah! Of course! ”

Fang Ming nodded heavily, and said, "I have just said that as long as there is a leak, I will be able to pick it up, there is no doubt about it, if this is not the case, then how can I have the confidence to go abroad to carry out such a plan?" ”

Antique collection is broad and profound, since entering the industry, Fang Ming has actually put his greatest energy on the study of traditional antiques, just in order to carry out the plan to go abroad, he has recently put his energy on foreign artworks, but foreign artworks also have a long history, not so easy to study thoroughly.

However, this was definitely not a problem for Fang Ming, because Pixiu's ability had already proven that he also had a "feeling" for foreign artworks, so there was no problem at all when used to pick up leaks.

It is precisely because of this that Fang Ming is so confident.

Lu Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, she knew Fang Ming very well, and knew that since she said this, it meant that she must be sure.

As a person who has worked in a foreign auction company and has a strong patriotic heart, the reason why Lu Yao left a foreign auction company and came back to open his own company is that in addition to his own life ideals, he actually has a goal, that is, if he has the ability one day, he must get back those antique artworks that have been lost as much as possible.

However, she also knows how difficult it is to do this. However, if Fang Ming really had such an ability, then this matter would be very easy to operate, at least very operable.

Fang Ming is not wrong at all, if they can pick up their own art treasures in Western countries and exchange them, then they will definitely change them, because no matter how good they are, they are not as good as their own, right?

Like the domestic antique market, there are also identification problems in the foreign art market, so the market is full of all kinds of leaks. If you have eyesight, you will be able to pick up the leaks.

"Fang Ming, if you can pick up the leaks abroad, then we are sure to bring back a considerable part of the antiques that have been lost abroad. When I used to work in auction companies abroad, I had a pretty clear idea of who owned some important antiques, so as long as you were able to pick up important antiques from their history abroad, it would be fine, and I would find those people and talk to them about it. ”

A satisfied smile appeared on Fang Ming's face, this kind of information was very important, this was actually the ability he hoped Lu Yao could have, and now it seemed that he had chosen the right one.

Lu Yao is indeed a very suitable helper!

"There is no problem, you can rest assured in this regard, there is no problem at all! I'll take care of it. ”

Lu Yao nodded heavily and said, "Okay, since that's the case, we'll prepare to go abroad immediately." Give me a day and I'll take care of things here, and then we're good to go. ”
