"Mr. Fang, I don't think it's as good as this, right? It's not a head for us to make a bid like this, or do you make a bid yourself? ”

James looked at Fang Ming, he found that in the offer just now, Fang Ming was still motionless, obviously very dissatisfied with the price offered, so he didn't even open his mouth very simply.

So people, after thinking about it, he said such a sentence.

High!

That's really high.

Benjamin and Ruby couldn't help but nod lightly when they heard James say this, and now the price has reached eighty million. You must know that this is a dollar, so it is already close to 500 million. Such a price can definitely be said to be sky-high, no matter what kind of artwork it is.

However, Fang Ming didn't have any intention of being moved, in this case, as James said, he could make Fang Ming bid in turn.

In this way, there is also the advantage of "forced" Fang Ming's mind to see what kind of ideas he has in mind on this sketch.

Of course, for Benjamin, he can do without this, according to the news he got from Lu Yao, he knew that Fang Ming's or Miss Deng's real intention was to exchange for Huaxia antiques, that is, the article used sketches to exchange for his favorite antiques.

But although Benjamin knew this, it was not easy to say that once he said it directly now, James would immediately guess what kind of news he got when he met Lu Yao.

So Benjamin actually hopes that Fang Ming will take the initiative to say it himself.

"Huh. The price of this sketch, I don't think I need to say, then your hearts are also very clear, without one to two hundred million, it is impossible. ”

Fang Ming didn't deliberately pretend, he put down the teacup in his hand and directly said his thoughts.

Ruby frowned and immediately said, "100 million? I think it's a reasonable price, but if you talk about 200 million, I think it's a bit high. ”

Fang Ming is only talking about a price range, that's why the rupee said this, there have been many auctions over the years, for example, those well-known auction companies actually have one or two auctions every year. Because there is a tendency to lack art in the whole world, the quality of art is generally declining every year, but the price at auction is increasing day by day.

However, even so, the 200 million dollar artwork is really not seen much.

Fang Ming was also not angry, shook his head, and said, "That's the auction things are not very good, you are all experts, naturally you know how much this sketch in front of you is worth." You say...... If I put this sketch up for auction, how much will it cost? ”

"This ......"

Ruby was a little dumbfounded for a moment. He said that it was 200 million high, which was compared with the highest price of the auction in the last two years, but this seemed to be correct on the surface, but in fact it was not valid at all, after all, the things in those auctions and the sketch in Fang Ming's hand now were not at all

Deby!

There is no comparison of prices.

This sketch in Fang Ming's hand, because of its particularity, if it is sent to the auction, it can really be auctioned for a sky-high price, 200 million? It's really hard to say if it can be beaten!

This is especially true in the current situation where there is a general shortage of fine products in auctions.

Looking at the rupee, Fang Ming thought for a while and said, "Actually, if it is sent to auction, my suggestion to Miss Deng will be to set a reserve price, and this reserve price is 300 million." ”

Benjamin and the others fell silent.

Of course, 400 million is a sky-high price, but Benjamin and others have no way to refute it, because this price sounds outrageous, but as long as they are not stupid, they understand that in fact, this price is not outrageous, and they are actually very clear in their hearts about a little bit, or it is impossible to say that they will return the price to 80 million so happily, after all, they themselves are not stupid, right?

"Heh, Mr. Fang, I don't think you and Miss Deng will send this sketch to the auction."

James didn't want to see such a thing, because in this way, it would naturally be countless times more difficult to win this fight under the situation of public auction!

Now it's just because the three of them are fighting for it, so things are a little simpler, once it comes to the auction?

The people who are competing must be in the sea, and the price is really difficult to control.

"Yes, Mr. Fang, I think even if there are only three of us, we should be able to offer a price that satisfies you, so there is no need to send it to the auction company, I think you should also know, the auction company's set of procedures is also very complicated."

Ruby also hurriedly spoke, he didn't want to see such a thing.

Fang Ming nodded lightly and said: "Yes, I don't recommend that Miss Deng send the sketch to the auction company, but it is not because of the formalities, one is in the face of such a sketch, I don't think any auction company will be so brainbroken as to refuse to be out of the door, two, if we are afraid that it is too complicated, it can be brought back to China, you must know that I have an auction company myself, and this sketch can be handed over to my auction company to auction, I think, in the face of such auction items, There is no collector in the world who is willing to give up the opportunity, so it will definitely come. ”

"This ......"

Benjamin and the others were immediately speechless, and Fang Ming was not wrong at all.

If this sketch in front of me were sent to one of the most famous auction houses in the world right now, which one would refuse?

And if they don't?

Fang Ming has his own auction company?

This sketch will be taken to the other party's own company, and then the whole world will promote it, and I am afraid that someone will not come?

Only fools don't come!

Don't talk about others, just people like yourself have to break their heads and rush to come!

Seeing that Benjamin and the others were calmed down by his words, Fang Mingcai continued: "The reason why Miss Deng didn't take this sketch to auction is actually very simple, she is not a person who is short of money at all, so although the sketch in front of her is not the field of her collection, since there is no price enough to make her happy, her only choice is to put this sketch in her own hands first, and talk about it later." ”

"When I took the sketch from Miss Deng just now, she said, let me handle this matter myself, and the final price will be quoted to her, and she will decide."

Fang Ming's words were very skillful, on the one hand, he emphasized that Deng Li was not short of money, which is to tell the other party that if you want to impress Deng Li through money and then win the sketch, it is actually a very difficult thing. Second, Fang Ming once again pointed out that the focus of Deng Li's collection is on Chinese antiques or artworks, which is clearly to "lure" them to think in that direction.

The speaker has a heart, the listener has an intention, after Benjamin heard Fang Ming's sentence, he immediately thought of what Lu Yao said to himself before, and his heart suddenly moved, and he immediately knew that the idea that Lu Yao gave himself should be the right one.

Looking at James and Ruby, Benjamin felt a little embarrassed, looking at the expressions of the two of them

, I guess I haven't thought of this yet.

If you say it here now, then ...... Didn't they let James and Ruby know, and then they also put forward conditions to Fang Ming like themselves, so that they also did not have the upper hand.

"I have to find a suitable opportunity to talk to Fang Ming about this."

Benjamin secretly made up his mind, so he didn't speak again, just listened to James and Ruby's bid.

At the beginning, he was still a little worried about whether James and Ruby's bids would impress Fang Ming, because the highest bids had already reached 150 million.

However, in the end, Fang Ming refused.

This made Benjamin pinch a cold sweat at the same time, but also affirmed one thing more certainly: if you want to impress Fang Ming and Deng Li, it is not a good choice to start with money.

In the end, the sketch matter was not discussed at all, but temporarily stopped, James and others said that the price offered tonight was beyond their authorization, and if it continued, it would have to be communicated again, so they hoped to make an appointment for a time such as tomorrow.

Fang Ming's purpose was to exchange for the antiques he was interested in, and now that the matter had not been settled, of course he would not be in a hurry to say that the next night was the best thing for him, because he believed that James and the others would go back and think about it, maybe they would understand what they or Miss Deng wanted!

As for Benjamin? Needless to say, Lu Yao had already directly said the method before, if he didn't understand it, it would really make people speechless, the reason why he didn't speak before was because he definitely didn't want to say it in front of James and Ruby, so he had to take a break for the time being, and agreed to talk about it tomorrow, so Benjamin had time to contact him privately, right?

Each had their own ideas, so when James and Ruby said that they would talk again tomorrow, Fang Ming immediately agreed.

Fang Ming stood up, and at this time, Zhao Zhuzi had already put away the sketch and left immediately.

Benjamin also left in a hurry.

"Rupee ......"

Ruby was about to leave, but James stopped him, turned around and said strangely, "This...... Something? ”

"Heh, let's find a place to have a drink or two and have a few conversations."

Ruby was just about to refuse what had just happened, and he was thinking about hitting the man behind him right away

I reported it on the phone, but I reacted immediately, and James must have said that it must have a purpose, so he immediately nodded and agreed
