Chapter 1041
Lu Yao came back soon. When Fang Ming saw her, Fang Ming was a little surprised and said, "So fast?"

When Lu Yao left just now, it was less than 5 minutes. It turned out that Fang Ming thought that she would leave for a while, so he told her to hurry up and do it automatically.

"Just make a phone call. In fact, I have already made preparations for this before-not that I knew that such a thing would happen, but that when I made preparations with those people, I already considered In case of any accident, what should I do if I can't keep in touch with them."

Fang Ming's eyes lit up, he very much approved of this approach, although it will take more time to prepare in advance, and it is very likely that many of the things prepared will not be useful, However, such preparations are not optional, because if there is not enough preparation, for example, if something unexpected happens like now, then the problem will be serious.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's wait and see the excitement now."

There is still a little time before the official start of the auction. Fang Ming, Annie, and Lu Yao simply looked around, and even more time would be spent tasting the snacks prepared by the organizer, or Talk softly to whoever comes here.

Because they have already determined which antiques will be sold and which ones will not be sold, so naturally they will not rush around at this time.

But their actions made Yamada and Yoshino who had been paying attention to them more and more confused.

"Huh? That woman appeared with Fang Ming a few days ago, right? She didn't come just now. I thought Fang Ming had arranged for her to do something, but now it seems that's not the case. She actually appeared .”

Yoshino looked at Lu Yao with a serious expression on his face. He already knew Fang Ming's situation very well. As for Lu Yao, he also collected a lot of relevant information, so he knew that Lu Yao was Fang Ming. A general under his command.

"Oh, this is a good thing."

Yamada disagreed with him, and looked at Fang Ming not far away with a smile on his face.

"Oh?"

Yoshino also looked in the direction Yamada was looking at.

"That Lu Yao is an expert in auctions. Fang Ming has such a person by his side. If she doesn't use it, it will only prove that this matter is weird. Now that she is by Fang Ming's side, it is to help Fang Ming handle the scene. Although it will be more difficult for us to bid for those things, it also proves that they don't have any special plans, which is a good thing."

Yoshino thought for a while, finally nodded, and said: "Samada, you are right, it is indeed the truth. Heh, if this Lu Yao does not appear here, then this matter is really weird, but , this matter is still a little bit wrong, Fang Ming will not talk about it, and Lu Yao is not a simple person, if they have no special arrangements for this auction, I think it is impossible."

Shaking his head, Yamada said: "It's not surprising. This is not China's country now. The biggest possibility is that Fang Ming and the others didn't expect that someone would recognize them here, so it's normal that they didn't prepare. Before Fang Ming Although Ming came here, it may be because some of our actions made him notice us, but our response when he came was quite reasonable, so I don’t think it aroused his suspicion.”

"Also, even if it has already caught his attention, there is not enough time now. The auction is about to start. Even if he can think of a way, there is no way to implement it."

Yoshino's heart was finally relieved at this time, yes, what Yamada said was not wrong at all, even if Fang Ming realized that something was wrong now, so what?No matter what kind of plan it is, it takes time to implement it, and there is not enough time now. Fang Ming is a human being and not a god, so it is impossible to implement it in such a short period of time. "

It was because of Annie before, and now there is another Lu Yao, one from the east and one from the west, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all beauties.

So, in fact, no matter where Fang Ming and the others appear, they will attract the attention of others. Fang Ming is also very aware of this - he is like a huge magnet, attracting countless hatred, but fortunately Yes, it is the antiques or works of art that attract attention at this time.

"Fang Ming, is that bronze short sword real?"

As Annie was walking, she suddenly pointed to a dagger about half a meter long not far away, with a curious expression on her face.

"You want to take a picture?"

Annie turned her head and found a strange expression on Fang Ming's face, knowing that there must be something wrong with the so-called bronze dagger.

"Huh? It can't be fake, right? What about the starting price of 100 million?"

Annie suppressed her voice and cried out in a low voice.

"If you want this thing, I'll get you a hundred and ten pieces another day."

Fang Ming rolled his eyes. He just took a look at the bronze dagger before, especially when he saw that the reserve price had already been set. In China, you can find it in any shop that sells bronze wares, and the one that is currently being auctioned is really good!
But now it's all right, such a thing can be put up for auction in a grand manner, which is to put it bluntly just to deceive people.

"Ah! How is this possible? Today's auction, the auction company is so famous, how could such a thing happen?"

Seeing Annie with a surprised expression on her face, Lu Yao shook her head lightly, and said in a low voice, "It's not surprising at all. It doesn't mean that the big auctions must be good things. Of course, many people There will be such a feeling, and this is what the auction company wants to see, so they take advantage of people's psychology, and often succeed in auctioning some very common or even fake things at high prices .”

Annie knew that Lu Yao had worked in an auction company, so she was very familiar with this situation, so since she said that, it meant that this was the truth.

"But, isn't the auction company worried? Wouldn't it ruin their reputation if they sold fake items?"

Shaking her head, Annie said: "No, the auction company is an auction company after all, not an ordinary entity. To put it bluntly, it still depends on personal identification. Actually, many auction companies, including the world's most famous The auction company, they are aware of the problems with their auction items, for example, the bronze dagger in front of them, how could the auction company not know that it is fake? You must know that there are extremely powerful people behind the auction company. Great appraiser."

Fang Ming nodded, and said: "It's hard to say anything else, at least the appraiser of the auction company will not be able to identify the bronze dagger in front of me, because it is really fake, such as the so-called patina on it. , in fact, it was glued with the patina powder scraped off other bronze wares, and then brushed on."

Hearing Fang Ming say the same thing, Annie became even more convinced.

"However, auction companies often turn a blind eye to it. Auctioning such auction items will not affect the reputation of the auction company at all. Because the auction company will add a sentence at the same time as the auction, that is, the auction company The authenticity of the auction item is not confirmed. If there is such a sentence, then there is no problem at all. If someone thinks that it is a real thing or a good thing because it is auctioned at a big auction, then It's really stupid and naive."

What Lu Yao said made Annie speechless, but she knew that this was the truth. Although she didn't know much about the auction industry, the situation Lu Yao said was very reasonable, especially driven by huge interests. , it must appear.

"Well, the water here...it seems to be very deep indeed."

After a while, Annie finally came back to her senses.

"So, the auction is also a very deep knowledge, which is beyond the understanding of ordinary people."

Fang Ming shook his head lightly. Auctions are a very important form in the collection and sale of antiques or works of art. Lu Yao is an expert in this field. "Zhong cooperated with a master like Lu Yao.

"what?"

The three of Fang Ming were chatting, but suddenly there was a low voice of surprise around them. The three of them looked back, but Fang Ming immediately recognized the person standing in front of them.

Li Hua!

It turned out to be Li Hua!
Fang Ming really did not expect to meet Li Hua here!

Fang Ming did not expect to meet Li Hua here, and Li Hua even more did not expect to meet Fang Ming here!

As someone who collects antiques, he definitely doesn't want to miss such an auction. For him, even if he doesn't make a sale in the end, it's still very good to come and see for a long time.

Moreover, as a "local" person, Li Hua has more ideas. As for the 500 million "deposit" for admission, it is not a problem, so he came.

Li Hua actually saw Fang Ming from far away just now, but one said it was a little far away, and the other, more important thing, was that he was not at all mentally prepared to meet Fang Ming here.

After hesitating for a while, Li Huacai finally walked over. Now he can be sure that he is not mistaken, the person in front of him is indeed Fang Ming!
