golden escape

Fang You glanced at him and saw that Shen Gang hadn't seen him for a long time, but Shen Gang looked much more mature, the confidence on his face didn't disappear at all, on the contrary, it strengthened a bit, but the sharp aura emanating from his body before became softer.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, but listening to Mr. Shen's words just now, it seems that he wants to admit defeat." Fang You said with a smile. He knew what the best way to stimulate a very confident person like Shen Gang was.

Hearing Fang You's words, Shen Gang laughed, and then shook his head, "Mr. Fang, I can't compare to you, but I can't beat you, but admit defeat. Gone, never."

Fang You straightened his face and nodded, "Mr. Shen's words are classics. A person can be defeated, but he must never lose the motivation to move forward because of a single failure. This is no different from a coward. I am waiting for Shen at any time." Mister's challenge."

"Mr. Fang, don't wait any longer. Let's meet at this year's Burmese market. I will definitely beat you this time." Shen Gang challenged Fang You with great confidence.

Fang You smiled slightly, "Okay, it seems that Mr. Shen is full of confidence, then I will spare time to participate in this Burmese fair. As for the final result, it is too early to win and who will lose, so we will use our Try to verify the facts."

When the last diamond auction was held in Gashaka, Africa, Li Zihao once said that the Burmese auction will be held two months later. After Fang You returned to China, he discovered the relics of the Buddha’s real body and held a teacher apprenticeship ceremony. After that, he went to Hong Kong, discussing marriage and salvaging the treasures of the small island country.

They stayed in Hong Kong for more than two months. It stands to reason that the Burmese public offering has already ended, but during the two months in Hong Kong waiting for the cruise ship to be remodeled, Fang You wanted to take advantage of this free time. Time to go to the fair.

It's just that Ye Yuqing got a piece of news at the time and told him that he couldn't go to participate. , The Public Offering Organizing Committee decided to postpone the event for a few months. After the rainy weather, the facilities will be repaired and restarted.

Before that, he had already received accurate information from Mr. Li of the Jade Association. The time for this year's Burmese public offering has been confirmed, and it will arrive on the 15th of next month. It will take 12 days in total, and it has been delayed for several months. , Those wool manufacturers who are anxiously waiting have already piled up a lot of good materials in their hands. It is just because the Myanmar government has been extremely strict in controlling jadeite wool over the years, and only through public trading can it be traded out of the country.

As for most of the domestic jadeite wool, apart from being traded on the Burmese public market, it is smuggled from Yunnan. Although the Burmese government is extremely strict, the border between China and Burma is full of jungles. Strength, it is impossible to patrol the entire border, which brings convenience to some smugglers.

However, this is only the work of a small number of people. Most of the wool manufacturers are waiting for the annual public market. The money earned in the public market is far more than that of smuggling, and it is safer.

It can be said that the quantity and quality of woolen materials in this Burmese fair will be far better than the previous one. Not only woolen manufacturers are anxiously waiting, but jadeite players from all over the world and major jewelry companies are also anxiously waiting. Waiting for the coming of this public offering.

"Mr. Fang, I will work harder than you. I heard that you got Mi Fu's Venus Dragon Inkstone. Therefore, I present this picture of Mi Fu worshiping the stone made by Chen Hongshou to you. I wish your marriage will be harder than a stone." For a long time." Shen Gang smiled and said confidently, then handed a painting scroll in his hand to Fang You.

Most of the guests who love jewelry and jade know Shen Gang, if there is no Fang You, then at the last Pingzhou fair, it would be this Shen Gang who showed his glory.

Among them, the top-level jadeite of the glass species imperial green was solved, but in the end it still lost to Fang You. In the last Pingzhou public offering, what surprised everyone most was Fang You's top-level emeralds. Jadeite, among which royal purple and gold jadeite is extremely rare, is the legendary theoretical grade jadeite.

The people who came here to congratulate were people from the antique world besides the business people. It's just that the business tycoons now know a little bit about antique collection. Of course, most of them are for improving their taste.

When they heard that Shen Gang's congratulatory gift was Mi Fu's stone-worship painting by Chen Hongshou, some people in the antique industry showed shock on their faces. This Shen Gang and Fang You can be said to be rivals, but now they are only engaged, but Why take out such a heavy gift to congratulate.

Fang You opened the picture scroll, and at the top of the picture, under the exquisite and indescribable strange stone, Mi Fu was wearing a black hat and a red robe, holding a rectangular wooden board that was only used by Mianjun in ancient times, with a dignified expression, respectfully facing the stone Worship.

And behind him, there are three people standing upright with their backs upright, with respectful expressions, the whole picture brings a solemn atmosphere to Fang You, and looking at his pictures, Mi Fu's wild, playful The spirit is fully expressed, and it highlights his love for stones at the expense of his official position.

"Mr. Shen, this gift is really too expensive. Please take it back." Fang You said softly. Chen Hongshou was a famous painter in the late Ming Dynasty. When he enshrined painters for the inner court, he just refused to follow orders because he had witnessed the corruption of the government and the hardships of the people.

There are many similarities between his personality and Mi Fu's. Therefore, this picture of Mi Fu worshiping stones made by him can better reflect Mi Fu's spiritual world of being a stone and regardless of everything.

His paintings have an indescribable beauty, and it is said that there was no such brush and ink in the Ming Dynasty for 300 years. In fact, it has been more than 300 years. His brush and ink have surpassed the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and no one can match it.

Based on Fang You's understanding of antiques, it is conservatively estimated that this painting alone should be around 1000 million RMB.

"Mr. Fang, you should be well aware of my character. It is difficult to find the paintings of the ancients, but it is not impossible to get them. But only a confidant is something that cannot be found in this world. You and I can be said to be confidants. Paintings are rare. A confidant is even more rare." Shen Gang said with a smile, his face extremely firm.

Fang You smiled lightly and nodded, "Mr. Shen, thank you for your blessing, I will accept this painting, but don't expect to give me this painting, but think that I will be on the public market Let the water go."

"Haha, Mr. Fang, such a victory is not what I want. Besides, you and I know so well. With your personality, you will definitely not let the water go. When you get married, let's have a few more drinks. Let's go, I wish Mr. Fang and Ms. Ye grow old together forever, and we will see you at the Burmese business meeting next month." Shen Gang smiled, greeted Ye Yuqing, then turned and left.

Some guests next to him were stunned. This guy didn't look like he was congratulating him, but he seemed to be messing around in the afternoon.

"Little Wanderer, that is, Shen Gang's self-confidence can have such an aura. If I were a person, I would really feel that he came out of a mental hospital." Ye Yuqing said with a slight smile. On the public market, she fought side by side with Fang You to the last moment. She is no stranger to Fang You's opponent, Shen Gang.

Fang You smiled faintly, "Yuqing, don't look at him being so confident now and leaving so quickly, I'll beat him to death in next month's public offering."

"Just now I said the outcome is undecided, how come I'm so confident now." Ye Yuqing gave him a speechless look.

Fang You looked at Ye Yuqing affectionately, "It's just because standing behind me is a girl who can fight side by side with me and has great confidence in me."

Ye Yuqing also looked at Fang You, their hands were tightly held together.

The two of Fang You sighed a lot about Shen Gang, and why not Shen Gang? Last time, Fang You was an unknown person in Pingzhou's public offering. Now, Fang You's reputation, not to mention him, even his family, It is incomparable. He has the confidence to defeat Fang You, which comes from this. Fang You has spent most of his time expanding his business these years. I am afraid that he has little contact with jadeite wool.

And during these years, he has been in contact with wool every day. Before cutting a piece of wool, he will analyze it. After cutting, he will revise his previous analysis based on the condition of the wool. , He fully disentangled tens of thousands of pieces of wool, and as a result, he formed his own wool identification method, which is the source of his confidence.

"Mr. Fang, congratulations on your married couple with Ms. Ye. This is a jewelry phoenix crown and a pair of jade bracelets that my father specially asked the family jewelry master to make. I wish you a happy marriage and a happy marriage for a hundred years." The peaceful young man came over and congratulated Fang You and Ye Yuqing.

Fang You smiled slightly. Judging from the vicissitudes and wrinkles on the young man's face, he must have been unhappy during this time. Regarding this person, he sighed deeply. Can really be friends, "Mr. Li, thank you, please come inside."

This person is Li Zihao. After listening to Fang You's words, he nodded with a smile on his face, and then walked towards the wine table in the back room. His father didn't have the courage to show up here. As for his uncles, they were even more shy. , did not dare to come face to face with Fang You, and almost fainted his grandfather.

When Fang You was weak back then, they attacked him in every possible way. Now that Fang You is in power, they dare not send them to express their sincerity. , It's simply not worth it. Fortunately for him, Li Zihao has the ability to take responsibility, otherwise, their Li family will really have no successors.
