Chapter 30: 40 million
Back to Avon Zhai, Fang Ming opened the safe in the store, there was a safe in the store, which Zhou Yafang used to put more valuable antiques, after Fang Ming came back from his hometown, Zhou Yafang immediately asked someone to send a large safe, put that set of porcelain in it, after all, it is tens of millions of antiques, naturally you have to be careful.
Opening the safe, Fang Ming took out the porcelain and put it in the box, then hurriedly went out and called the address given by Zhou Yafang, which was a villa in the center of the city.
"Looks like I'm going to have to buy a car sooner."
When he walked into the villa, Fang Ming had such a thought in his heart, but he immediately put this thought behind him, because he saw a person who he didn't expect to see at all-Zheng Ru.
"Huh? How did you end up here? β
"That's what I should say."
Seeing Fang Ming, Zheng Ru was also extremely surprisedβshe really didn't expect to see Fang Ming here at all.
The owner of the villa is called Sikong Zhe, a very famous securities dealer in Ningdong City, who entered this industry 20 years ago, entered the industry early and has an outstanding vision, and now he naturally makes a lot of money - money is just a number for a person like him.
Therefore, his status in the social circle of Ningdong City is actually very high.
Sikong Zhe is a crazy antique collector, unlike the average rich person who plays collecting, his vision of 'one' reading 'novels' ybdu is as vicious as he is in securities investment, more accurate than many experts specializing in antique collecting.
Zheng Ru had already known that Fang Ming was working in an antique shop, but how could a person who worked in an antique shop be qualified to come to Sikong Zhe's villa? You must know that what Fang Ming is looking at in the library is a primer box for antique collection, which can also prove from one side that Fang Ming has actually entered the industry not long ago, and which one of them can enter Sikong Zhe's villa is still a famous person in the collecting world?
Fang Ming obviously didn't belong to such a person!
However, the other side came.
Pointing to the box in his hand, Fang Ming said, "Heh, I'll send something over." β
"Oh, what's that?"
While walking in with Fang Ming, Zheng Ru asked curiously, normally the antiques in Fang Ming's box should be antiques, but it doesn't look very similar, because the box is very ordinary, so ordinary that it can be found everywhere, and the antiques that can enter Sikong Zhe's "magic eye" should at least be packed with a better one.
"Antique, you'll see what's coming in a moment."
Walking into the gate of the villa, Fang Ming found that there was a courtyard next to it, although it was not big and only less than 100 square meters a day, but as long as he thought that this was not a suburban but a city center, he would understand what this meant.
In the middle is a road that divides the yard into two halves, there is a tall plane tree planted in the left corner, the small half of the yard is covered by its thick leaves, and the remaining half is dug a small pond, and under the moonlit night and the light, you can see a few water lilies planted in the small pool, and even a few small goldfish swimming in it.
The yard doesn't look special on the surface, but it has a sophisticated feel and is clearly well designed and cared for.
"The outside world has been rumored that Sikong Zhe hired a person to take care of his yard, and this person's salary alone reached 20,000 yuan per month!
"Rich people are rich people after all."
Fang Ming sighed, such a yard costs 240,000 yuan a year just to hire someone to take care of it?
If it's not a problem with his brain, it's really rich, and Sikong Zhe obviously belongs to the latter.
"This is true, in their eyes, maybe 240,000 is not a lot of money at all, just a drop in the bucket."
Sikong Zhe's money is really ridiculously large, and 240,000 yuan is really not much in his eyes.
The courtyard was not large, and soon passed through, and another villa appeared, and at this time the hall on the first floor was brightly lit, and the sound of talking was heard from time to time at the open door, and it was obvious that it was very lively inside.
"Looks like there's a lot of people coming tonight, let's go in quickly."
Although he had doubts in his heart, Zheng Ru didn't have time to think clearly at this time, and beckoned Fang Ming to go in with him.
Walking into the hall of the villa, Fang Ming glanced at it and found that there were not many people in the hall, only three, Zhou Yafang knew herself, but the other two did not know herself.
One is a man in his fifties sitting in the center, his hair is half black and half white, giving people a feeling of going through all kinds of things in the world, but with a wide mouth and big ears, a face like a heavy date, especially the lion-like nose and the eagle-like eyes, people can know at a glance that it is not a simple person.
As for the other one, he is a thin man, and he is too thin to be skinny, and he is very tall, with small facial features, all squeezed on his face, especially the nose gives a feeling of being directly inlaid in general, but it will not be disgusting at all, but it feels very comfortable.
"Fang Ming, how did you meet Zheng Ru?"
After sitting down, Zhou Yafang's gossip nature as a woman was furious, and she immediately asked Fang Ming what was going on.
Fang Ming briefly told him about the previous incident, and Zhou Yafang was also happy when he heard it, and said, "I really can't imagine that you can have such an affair just by going to the map." β
Fang Ming couldn't cry or laugh, what kind of affair was this?
"By the way, Sister Avon, what is the origin of this Zheng Ru?"
Zhou Yafang pointed at Zheng Bai and said: "This Zheng Bai is a master figure of our collector, it is said that he was born from tomb robbery, of course, now he has long since stopped this business, he has always been famous for his vicious vision, many things can be identified by his eyes, and he has never been eyed." β
"This Zheng Ru you know is his daughter."
"Huh?! His daughter? β
Listening to Zhou Yafang's words, Fang Ming had been nodding his head gently, his time in the industry was too short, and he naturally didn't know any of these "rivers and lakes" characters, at this time Zhou Yafang explained to himself, so naturally he had to listen carefully.
When he heard that Zheng Ru was Zheng Bai's daughter, he couldn't help but cry out in a low voice, and he couldn't help but look at Zheng Bai.
To be honest, Zheng Bai really doesn't look good? Zheng Ru is like a flower, how can two people be father and daughter?
Obviously, this is not the first time this has happened, Zheng Bai touched his nose, and then said with a smile: "Heh, how is it?" Don't you believe she's my daughter? β
Fang Ming's face flushed, he really thought so in his heart, he touched his head embarrassedly, and said, "Heh, this...... It was a bit of a surprise to me. β
Everyone immediately laughed when they heard Fang Ming's words, Fang Ming was too "honest".
"There's no way, who told me to marry a beautiful wife."
Zheng Bai's face was full of smiles, and it was obvious that this was a very proud thing in his opinion.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Seeing her father like this, Zheng Ru is also quite a headache, her mother and father belong to a typical old and young match, and now her father, who has now entered his prime, often behaves like a child, not to mention himself, even his mother has no way to take him.
"Hah! Speaking of this, it is indeed true, and we all envy Lao Zheng's blessings. β
Sikong Zhe also laughed, he and Zheng Bai have been old friends for many years, so he naturally dares to say such words, of course, people like Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang are not good at receiving such words.
"Old man Sikong, what nonsense, let's look at antiques first."
Zheng Bai glared at Sikong Zhe, what he wanted to see most now was the antiques that Zhou Yafang said.
"Okay, Miss Zhou, please take out the antiques and show us first."
Sikong Zhe is a collector, he heard that Zhou Yafang had good things before, and his heart was full of expectations at this time, and his voice became louder after seeing Hunting Xinxi, and he didn't have the calm and free bearing he showed before.
Fang Ming nodded, put the box he brought on the table, and then opened it gently, and the first thing he took out was Zhao Huo's set of 28 pieces of Ming Dynasty folk kiln tableware.
As soon as this set of things was taken out, it immediately attracted the attention of Zheng Bai, Sikong Zhe and others. As Zhou Yafang showed before, they have never seen such a fine folk kiln, but they have never seen such a complete set.
"That's a good thing!"
After a while, the first to speak was Sikong Zhe, who reluctantly put down a bowl he picked up, sighed, and said, "I can't say that there is no such thing, but the people who collect it will not take it out again." β
"Well, that's true, not to mention now, not to mention something like this now, even a few decades ago."
Zheng Bai was also quite surprised, there is a natural gap between the strength of the kiln and the palace kiln, which is also destined to produce not many porcelain products from the kiln, which in turn leads to the price of the kiln's fine products getting higher and higher.
At the same time, because the things in the kiln are used by ordinary people, that is, after leaving the kiln, they are taken back by ordinary people and used in daily life, so the chance of damage is even greater, which makes it difficult to preserve the porcelain of the kiln.
There is no shortage of this set of porcelain in front of me, and it can be seen that it has not been used at all, which is really rare.
"It was handed down from my sixth uncle's family, and it was said that it was used when he got married."
Zheng Bai nodded and said, "I see, then it's not strange." β
Most of the things in the folk kilns are hidden among the people, and if they are intended for their son's marriage like Zhao Huo's parents, or they are passed down from generation to generation, it is indeed possible.
"I'll give 40 million for this thing, how about it?"
Zheng Bai opened his mouth, and finally gave up, if he didn't want this set of things in front of him, it was fake, but in terms of financial resources, he had no way to compete with Sikong Zhe - no matter how he said that he was just a collection of antiques, the family did have money, but it was impossible to come up with 40 million or more at once.
Fang Ming looked at Zhou Yafang, he decided to leave the pricing matter to her, he was still not very good at this aspect at the moment.
"Okay, just 40 million."
Zhou Yafang agreed without thinking too much, the price of this set of porcelain in front of her is actually here, even if it is auctioned, it is unlikely to be much higher, and a person of Sikong Zhe's status will not deliberately lower the price on it.
Sikong Zhe laughed and said, "It's my birthday in a few days, and it seems that I finally have a set of things to entertain guests." β
Fang Ming sighed in his heart, there are so many rich people in this world, for example, Sikong Zhe spent 40 million casually, and the set of antique bowls he bought was not used for collection, but for entertaining guests, which he couldn't imagine.
β¦β¦
Zhou Yafang, who was driving the car, looked at Fang Ming, and then said with a smile: "I really can't imagine it, you have just entered the industry, you have such achievements, I think about the poor and sour appearance when I first entered the industry, compared with you, I can only find a piece of tofu and die." β
Fang Ming brought two sets of antiques from his hometown, a set of fine porcelain from the Mingmin kiln sold for 40 million, and he really made a lot of money tonight!
Touching his nose, Fang Ming remembered the scene when Zheng Bai held his hand tightly when he left Sikong Zhe's villa just now, saying that if there was anything good next time, he must call him directly, and couldn't help laughing. Say:
"Hey, this 40 million is not mine."
"But there's 10%%u662f in there."
"Wrong, only 5%%u662f mine, the other 5%%u662f Sister Avon yours."
Zhao Huo said at the time that he would give Fang Ming 10%%u4f5c as the middle price, and now that the thing has been sold, he and Zhou Yafang can get 2 million according to the agreement.
