Chapter 1017 Tailor Made
Fang Ming thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay, there is no problem. I will take care of it. But there is one problem. Since we are going to enter the world market, many things are different in our country. I think you, Lu Yao, are very clear about this aspect of the rules, so I won’t talk about this issue, you can deal with it.”

"My question is, if we organize an auction in the Western world, is there a problem that we should pay attention to? The auction items should also cater to Western habits. For example, there are fewer porcelains and Chinese paintings. Most of the composition should be sculptures and oil paintings?"

Fang Ming has been in China since he entered the industry, so he still knows the domestic market very well. If he organizes an auction in China, then he doesn't need to think about it, but now he and Lu Yao are planning an auction in the western world. Auctions, in this way, what to sell is a question to be considered, and it is an important question: the simplest is that if people in a place don't need hats at all, but you open a shop to sell hats, is this still worth it?To hell with selling it.

People in the East and the West actually have a focus when they collect. Generally speaking, the East mainly includes porcelain, bronzes, calligraphy and painting (Chinese painting). However, in the West because of the different ways of artistic development, It's not that they don't like porcelain, on the contrary they like it very much, but in general they still like sculpture or oil painting.There is no doubt about this.

"Yes, if our plan is like this, we really need to consider this issue. Oil paintings and sculptures must be the main content."

Lu Yao's brows suddenly frowned a little.She didn't think of the problem that Fang Ming reminded her before, but now that she thinks about it, it is a problem, and it may become a very serious problem.

A heavyweight auction must have a heavyweight auction item, there is no doubt about this.Just now Fang Ming said that he will handle this aspect, that is to say, he will be responsible for the auction items.

But in this way, there will be problems. If it is said that it is not a problem for Fang Ming to provide domestic antiques such as porcelain, but if it comes to providing antiques such as oil paintings and sculptures, it will be another time. It's over.

Even if Fang Ming has no problems in identification, but because of the different fields of collection, it is not a problem to find a few good oil paintings and other collectibles, but if he finds a large number of them, it can support a heavyweight battle. Auction items at the auction, this is not an easy task.

Seeing the expression on Lu Yao's face, Fang Ming laughed. He naturally understood what Lu Yao was thinking, and shook his head, "You don't have to worry about this problem. Since I said that I will be responsible for solving it, then

There is no problem. "

"This one……"

Although Fang Ming said this, Lu Yao was still a little uneasy, "Fang Ming, this is an important matter related to whether our auction company can gain international fame in one fell swoop, so I have to ask clearly about this matter. "

Spreading his hands, Fang Ming said, "It's very simple. Aren't we overseas now? We'll go back after we get enough good things, and then we'll put them up for auction after you've finished planning." .”

"This one……"

Hearing what Fang Ming said, Lu Yao's first reaction was to object, but she soon realized that such a thing might be impossible for others, but for Fang Ming, it was No problem at all.

Not to mention the far ones, if the sketch of Leonardo da Vinci that was exchanged to Gege just now is put up for auction in his own auction, then...even if there is only such an auction item, it is already a enough.

Therefore, Fang Ming's words sound arrogant, but to those who know Fang Ming, this is a very normal thing.

"Well... what you said makes sense."

In the end, Lu Yao could only say this sentence.

"Well, in this way, we need to revise our plan. We should not focus on our own antiques, but also focus on those oil paintings. If we miss some good things, we don't have to buy them. It is also possible to keep some of the antiques that are used to exchange for our own, so as to support an auction."

Fang Ming thought about it, and quickly made a decision.This is not too difficult for him, just adjust it.

"Ah."

Although it is impossible to let go of her heart now, but because of Fang Ming's previous experience, Lu Yao is not too worried about this issue.

After this problem is solved, the rest is a "technical" problem. In this regard, Fang Ming knew that Lu Yao would definitely be able to solve it, so he didn't continue the discussion, but stopped here and turned to But let's talk about another topic: "By the way, Lu Yao, how is the auction this time? Is there anything special about it?"

In fact, Fang Ming didn't participate in too many auctions, but he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running. Fang Ming also had a good understanding of this.In his opinion, each auction has its own characteristics, such as auctions focusing on a certain type of auction items.

The auction he participated in this time should also have its own characteristics, and in his opinion, this characteristic is to a certain extent more important than looking at those real objects, especially for a person like him. This is even more so—with an incomparably powerful appraisal ability, many sisters who complain about antiques can just take a look, so Fang Ming pays more attention to this point.

"Well, yes, when it comes to this point, when I communicated with those colleagues I was familiar with before, and combined some of the information I collected, I really discovered a feature. Of course, this feature is not official. For publicity, for example, in the official publicity, the feature of this auction is oil painting, so it can be said to be a special auction of oil painting.”

Hearing what Lu Yao said, Fang Ming became even more interested. This kind of characteristic was obtained by Lu Yao or her colleagues together, so it has greater significance.

"Come and listen."

Lu Yao nodded lightly, then frowned slightly, and said, "It's like this, in this auction, many auction items did not issue authentication certificates, or in other words, even if issued It’s not very famous, at least not by the most authoritative person in the circle.”

Fang Ming is also a veteran among them, and he understood when he heard Lu Yao's words. To put it simply, the auction company does not make any guarantees about the authenticity of the auction items this time, or in other words, the authenticity of the auction items. In terms of truth, whoever wants to take a picture, let's do it. The auction company does not guarantee this.

In fact, in order to get a good price for the auction item, the auction company will publicize the auction item before the auction, and in the process of publicity, an important content is that the auction item has passed the appraisal of authoritative experts.

The bigger the auction, the more this is the case.

However, hearing what Lu Yao said, it means that this auction is very abnormal.

"This... For me, this is actually a good thing..."

Fang Ming pinched his chin. To put it bluntly, this kind of auction means that the risks of those who participate in the auction will be infinitely enlarged, and this will make more people hesitate to a certain extent.However, this is a risk for others, but it is a very good opportunity for him.

Hearing what Fang Ming said, Lu Yao frowned, and then her eyes lit up.

Yes, for others, this is a very risky problem, but for Fang Ming, it is not a problem at all, on the contrary, it is a very good opportunity.

"Fang Ming, you are right. It is true. Such an auction method may be a great risk for others, but it is not a problem for you. It can even be said that it is for you. Made to measure."

For this point, Lu Yao herself had to agree.Many people originally came to participate in the auction. The biggest reason is that the quality of the auction items in the auction is often guaranteed. This is undoubtedly a very important thing for many people who are not proficient in appraisal.

Now this time the auction has turned out to be uncharacteristically, there is no way to guarantee this, so for many people, there is a high threshold for many people. In other words, there will be many people who are not very good Willing to make a move because the risk is high.

However, this does not exist for Fang Ming, because he is proficient in identification.

"Fang Ming, there is one issue we need to consider, that is, because of the special nature of the auction items this time, there is an important link before the official auction, which is to allow those who are willing to participate in the auction to take a look at the items first. Auction items. However, no matter what, the number of auction items is quite a lot, and the opening time is not enough, so is there any trouble in appraising it?"

Fang Ming shook his head and said: "This is not a problem, you know that I am good at picking up leaks, and for those who are good at this, the time is not a problem. Of course, if you can get started, you will be more confident .”

Lu Yao thought for a while, then nodded immediately, and said, "Yes, this is a problem. Everyone has a chance to get started. It's just that the time to get started is very short, maybe one to two minutes."

"Okay, that's enough!"

When Fang Ming heard that he was able to get started, a smile appeared on his face immediately. With the deepening of his "practice", in fact, many antiques can now be identified without relying on the ability of Pixiu, but if it comes to accuracy, of course it is still It's a good idea to get started.

Now that Lu Yao said that it was possible to get started, how could there be any problems?
