When Zou Heming turned to leave the gate of Sofby, he didn't take two steps before he noticed that a middle-aged man hurriedly walked past him carrying a cloth belt.

"Hey! Friend? Zou Heming opened his mouth to greet this man with a smile and wanted to chat with him, because at a glance, he knew that there were eighteen or nineteen in the cloth bag in this person's hand, which was a painting, because the cloth bag was boxy, and it was flattened, which was very in line with the size of a small painting.

Seeing such a situation, Zou Heming's mind couldn't help but think of a scene narrated by Fang Yi. The best place Fang Yi mentioned in his joke was at the door of the auction house!

Suddenly, I thought of this, and I became interested in stepping on it, Zou Heming thought about looking at this person's painting, if it was cheap and okay, he could also buy it, whether it was true or not, he just wanted to have fun. Spend some money to delight your body and mind!

As soon as Zou Heming spoke, he saw a man in his early thirties who was originally sitting on a stool on the side of the road more than five meters away from him also ran towards the person who drew the painting.

"Hey! Friend! Although he said it late, he walked quickly, and after approaching the middle-aged man who drew the painting, he walked side by side and greeted them.

Zou Heming felt very strange when he saw it, so he stopped and continued to look around the two of them with interest.

Due to the distance a little far, the voices of the two speakers were a little blurred, and they couldn't hear what the two said specifically, but after the two chatted for a word or two, they stood still in Zou Heming's sight.

And from Zou Heming's side, the middle-aged man who mentioned the painting also put the painting in his hand flat. I was starting to untie the cloth cover on it.

Seeing that someone was unpainting the cover, Zou Heming couldn't help but raise his feet and walked towards the place where the two were standing.

"Is there something wrong with you?" The man in his thirties saw Zou Heming coming next to the two of them, and couldn't help but open his mouth to ask. And there was obviously a kind of vigilance on his face, as if he didn't welcome Zou Heming coming. A face with a short beard swept Zou Heming's face twice from time to time.

However, the person who was interpreting the painting didn't seem to mind, and said to the bearded man in his thirties while unbuttoning the painting: "You can't be the only one who can watch it!" What if this gentleman is a connoisseur! ”。

Zou Heming saw that after untying the cloth cover, he stretched out his head and just saw a corner of the painting, and before he could see what was painted, he saw that the short-bearded man immediately reached out and pressed it on the painting, and coincidentally blocked a corner that was opened.

"The place is on the pavement on the road. It's not nice to have so many people coming and going! Let's find a place to have a drink and watch at the same time," said the bearded man, looking at the middle-aged man.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "No! If you don't look at it, it's going to delay my time, and I'm going to send the painting in! This is a memento that my grandfather left me. It has been hanging in my house for almost thirty years."

After speaking, the middle-aged man raised his chin and gestured to the gate of Sofby twenty or thirty meters away.

When the bearded man heard this, he immediately compromised, and said to the middle-aged man: "Then how about we go over there, just sit at the door of the café and enjoy this painting while drinking coffee?" ”。

After speaking, the bearded man also asked Zou Heming: "What do you think of the coffee, I invite you!" I don't mean anything about it, and besides, this gentleman is still around. He looks like an upright gentleman! ”。 A sycophant was thrown at Zou Heming. As he spoke, he made a little movement.

Zou Heming saw this small action, and then moved his gaze from the bearded man's body to the middle-aged man's body, with a little thoughtful look on his face, and then nodded in support of the bearded man: "That's fine, everyone sitting, drinking coffee, and appreciating art is also a kind of enjoyment!" ”。

Now Zou Heming doesn't know where he is, there is a chance that he has met two liars, if he walks through some corner alley, Zou Heming will not go steadily, maybe one of these two people will take out a pistol in his hand! At that time, the things in his wallet may not even be surnamed Zou.

It's just a small café next door. People here are not afraid of anything. And these two liars are really not small, they actually ran to the door of Sofubi to cheat!

"Then go over and have a coffee!" The middle-aged man thought about it for a moment before nodding. The three of them walked towards the café.

"Give each of us a glass of St. Helena!" As soon as Zou Heming, who sat down, saw the waitress walking to his three-person table, he took it upon himself to order the most expensive coffee in the shop.

While ordering, he said to the two people around him with a little shyness on his face: "I've always heard that St. Helena here is authentic, but I haven't come to drink it. ”。

"No need, just bring me a normal drink!" When the bearded man heard Zou Heming say this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said to Ying Sheng. As he spoke, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart: the coffee is good, but the price is also very good, this kind of coffee beans is seventy or eighty dollars a pound, just such a small cup, plus tips or something, there are no fifty or sixty dollars at all.

Zou Heming was staring at the expressions on the faces of the two of them after speaking, the bearded man paid for it in order to save money and chose the ordinary, but when the middle-aged man also chose the ordinary, Zou Heming had already defined the two in his heart: liars! And he's a stingy liar, he doesn't even want to spend a lot of money, and that's it!

Waiting for him to be served coffee, Zou Heming picked up the coffee cup and tasted the coffee while listening to the two liars set him up.

It's nothing more than a middle-aged man who is in a hurry to use the money, so he takes out the paintings in his family collection.

After listening to it for five or six minutes, Zou Heming felt that these two liars were really as he thought, and they had no innovative spirit at all, so he couldn't help but open his mouth with a little disappointment and said, "You can continue to talk!" Thank you for the coffee".

After speaking, he nodded at the bearded man. He smiled at the middle-aged man and got up from his chair.

As soon as he saw that Zou Heming was leaving, the bearded man immediately wanted to stay: "How do you look at his work, I don't look good!" After speaking, he asked the middle-aged man, "You don't want to take it for identification." It's not worth the money for the appraisal! …… You see, I'll make a price for me, and don't be too expensive for five hundred dollars! ”。

"How is this possible!" The middle-aged man immediately said angrily.

Zou Heming still wanted to listen to it, so he stood up and wanted to leave, because the next step was according to Zou Heming's thoughts, the bearded man should say that he would buy the painting with him, and Zou Heming was not interested in whether it was a thousand or a few hundred dollars.

"I'm not interested in this work!" Zou Heming said: "But this friend is right, you don't need to take this painting for appraisal, it's all painted like this, and you can see how unreliable this thing is if you look at any gallery!" ”。

"Of course you can't see it. But I'm sure Sofby's appraisers will be able to see it, even if they can't, Nayi? Fang can definitely see it! When the middle-aged man heard Zou Heming say this. immediately retorted, and now even the bearded man next to him looked indignant.

Hearing this, Zou Heming really couldn't help but laugh, and teased the two liars who were very devoted: "Then why don't you just find Fang to give you an appraisal of this work!" ”。

"Because he's too expensive. A painting of two hundred thousand dollars who has so much money! The middle-aged man didn't even look at Zou Heming, and began to set up his paintings. Then he left in a huff.

"Wait!" When the bearded man saw it, he immediately chased after the middle-aged man.

Hearing the middle-aged man's explanation, Zou Heming's mind suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have figured out something, but he didn't think of it for a while.

Before Zou Heming could react, there was no figure for the two of them, and the female waiter with quick hands and feet had already appeared next to Zou Heming at some point, and then looked at Zou Heming with a smile. In this way, he is waiting for Lao Zou to pay for the bill, of course, if he doesn't smile. Lao Zou may not tip him.

Taking out his wallet from his pocket, Zou Heming took out a ticket and put it on the table: "No need to look for it!" ”。 Only then did he raise his feet and walk in the direction he had parked.

"Thank you, sir!" The woman should be very happy. Because Lao Zou gave a very strong tip.

Walking to the side of his car, Zou Heming figured out why Wald agreed to his conditions, and believed that as long as he read the newspaper in the next few days, he would be 100% sure.

As Zou Heming expected, on the third day, there was a newspaper report, and the news said that Fang Yi and Suofubi's latest finalized new contract was as big as it was, although it didn't involve details, but there were still big things.

Fang Yi's conditions were very harsh, but when the reporter asked Wald about this question, the old boy did not deny it or admit it, but just replied with a smile: We are both satisfied with the new contract, and such conditions are in line with Mr. Fang Yi's status! It is also in line with the needs of Sofubi to provide the best service to its guests.

It was as if Fang Yi didn't mention such harsh conditions, Suo Fu would be more dissatisfied than himself.

snapped, turned off the TV in the office, Zou Heming really couldn't listen to it anymore, and didn't want to look at Wald's old face, looked down at the two or three pages in his hand, rubbed his face and said, "This thing is still a bit of a loss!" ”。

Zou Heming believes that now that he has raised Fang Yi's price to 1.5 million, Suofubi will not say NO to himself, because Zou Heming got the news and announced that after signing Fang Yi, Suofubi not only regained the previous number of works in the appraisal of works, but also increased the total number of works collected every month by 12%.

If the appraiser asked Fang Yi to look at his submitted works, Suofubi raised the appraisal fee by 30% on the original price! Because Fang Yi is a special consultant, this money is called the special consultant appraisal fee.

Sofoubi made the fee look like a specialist in a hospital.

This is the so-called celebrity effect, and now many people who send it have heard a few stories about Fang Yi's previous stories on the news, and this ability to turn their hands into clouds and cover their hands for rain has vibrated a lot of people.

Some of the people who originally had their works identified as forgeries started thinking about whether the things in their hands were also like the "Abundance" that Fang Yi bought, and if it was like the "Abundance" in the Japanese Museum! Anyway, as long as one of the two things is satisfied, you will be satisfied. This is also a new hope, it turns out that these people used to be waste snacks, right?

In addition, there are some paintings at home who want to find someone to identify and take a look, and they have never been in contact with this industry before, and other people don't know, so they heard the newspaper say that Fang Yi is so awesome that he can't do it, so he naturally brought something to send money to Sofby.

Now Fang Yi's popularity has also caused Sofuby's door, and from time to time one or two scams of the kind that Zou Heming encountered.

Zou Heming has calculated everything, but he didn't calculate that in a year, maybe relying on Fang Yi's appraisal business, Suofubi not only doesn't have to pay for himself, but also can make some mosquito-like income from this project! Driven by interests, Wald's side didn't need Zou Heming to mention it, and he began to promote Fang Yi's bullish spirit, as for the harsh requirements such and that, only people with 'real skills' can do this.

Sofby's side took advantage of the situation and pushed Fang Yi to the legend of the appraisal world! Because pushing Fang Yi is pushing money to himself by the way!

Zou Heming is a little remorseful here, but he can't catch up with the two managers of Christton and Phipps, and the two of them see that they are getting closer and closer to the position of the boss under Sofby's ass, but now it seems that there is a sign of pulling away again, because in the oil paintings, the quantity and quality of Sofforby's spring auctions have shown signs of recovery.

And Fang Yi was now looking at the first batch of photos sent by Sofuby, a full fifty photos! (To be continued......)
