Chapter 1296 What is the leak?

"Oh, Boss Hu, I didn't expect that we would meet so soon. By the way, do you know what's going on?"

Fang Ming looked at Hu Dong. Although he guessed what was going on, he still wanted to make sure from Hu Dong's mouth whether his guess was right.

"It's like this. These people are all people who bought antiques from me and other stores. Now they all want to know who missed it."

Hu Dong said with a little embarrassment, "This matter...it seems that I will trouble you."

Fang Ming nodded, and said: "Actually, I already guessed this matter when I saw so many people gathered in front of my shop. In fact, it's not surprising that they are like this at all. After all, they all want to pick up leaks. Playing with antiques Everyone actually has this mentality.”

Hu Dong was worried that Fang Ming would blame himself and the others, but he never thought it would be like this.

"Then... will you solve the mystery?"

Fang Ming looked at the people surrounding his shop, and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll reveal the answer to this mystery now, I think they've been waiting impatiently."

Fang Ming turned his head to look at the crowd, and said loudly: "I already know the purpose of your coming here, but I heard that you guys have bought up all the antiques in Boss Hu's and others' shop, isn't there such a thing? one thing?"

"Hahahaha!"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, because this is the truth, because when Fang Ming said that Hu Dong and the others had leaks to pick up in their store, who would be able to hold back, who wouldn't want to pick up the leaks?When there is no way to determine which one is the leak that Fang Ming said, they may just be lucky and buy all the antiques in there to see which one is more lucky.

"First of all, what I want to say is that if you go to the store I have been to, I can guarantee that the antiques you buy, of course, it is impossible for everyone to buy antiques, but more than [-]% Those who buy it are real things, you don’t have to worry about this.”

"it is good!"

As soon as Fang Ming finished his sentence, there was another burst of applause from the crowd. Although it was said that some people still bought fake antiques, [-]% of them were genuine, which is already a very high percentage. , as long as anyone who plays with antiques knows this, it is already very extraordinary.

Sikong Zhe, Sun Qing and others stood aside, they were very impressed in their hearts, they knew that only such a prestigious person like Fang Ming could do this or dare to say such a thing.

Are you sure that [-]% of the antiques in a store are real?

It is of course very simple to say such a sentence, but it is not that simple to get people's approval. Now Fang Ming has done this, so this is not an easy thing.

"Of course, I think what you are most concerned about now is which one is a leaked antique."

The crowd immediately laughed loudly again, many people couldn't help but raised the antiques in their hands, and looked at Fang Ming eagerly.

"Okay, I won't be a secret anymore, I'll just say it directly."

Fang Ming looked at the crowd, then raised his hand, and said loudly, "Which one of you bought a painting, a painting by Qi Baishi, the picture is shrimp, three shrimps."

There was a moment of silence among the crowd, and after about ten seconds, someone suddenly shouted: "I...I...I bought it!"

Fang Ming looked into the crowd and found that it turned out to be a young man in his teens, holding a scroll in his hand and shouting excitedly.

"Come on, come up here."

Fang Ming waved his hand, and the young man immediately separated from the crowd and rushed over.

Fang Ming took the scroll from the other party's hand, opened it carefully, showed it to everyone, and said, "Look, there are three shrimps in this small painting. Mr. Qi Baishi, I think I will No need to introduce, anyone who is interested in antiques or has a certain understanding of antique collection must have heard of him. He also understands the value of his paintings. Among them, he Among his paintings, the shrimp is arguably the most famous."

"Teacher Fang, just tell me directly, how much is this painting worth?"

Someone in the crowd yelled again, and everyone laughed loudly again. Although they said that they were not the ones who picked up the leak, they still cared about this issue very much—in fact, this is the problem that people who play the game find the leak the most exciting. .

"How much is your time?"

Fang Ming didn't answer right away, but first asked how much he paid for it.

"Not much, just 3000 yuan."

Fang Ming nodded. He had seen this painting before, and this was the price in his impression.

"I remember it was the same price. It seems that the boss is a nice person, and he didn't raise the price because of what I said."

Si Kongzhe also leaned over at this time, and said, "Fang Ming, is this really Qi Baishi's painting?"

Si Kongzhe also heard that this painting was only 3000 yuan, which means that this painting was sold as a fake, and he has a lot of research on antiques, so he knows that if the painting in front of him is real That's a big deal!Of course, he also knew that since Fang Ming said so, the painting in front of him must be real.

"Well, of course it's true. The shop owner probably didn't think it was a real painting by Mr. Qi, but thought it was a copy, so he sold it at such a price. In fact, this painting is real."

Fang Ming nodded. He knew the painting was real as soon as he saw it before, but because he is "notorious", once he asks for this painting, it is very likely that he will not be able to buy it, so he didn't make a sound, but Thinking about looking for someone to buy when I look back.As for later, because Hu Dong found him, he simply released the news.

"This... Teacher Fang, is what you said true? Is this really old Qi's painting?"

Fang Ming turned his head and found that it was Hu Dong who was talking to him.

"Boss Hu, you don't mean to say that this painting is from your store?"

There was a wry smile on Hu Dong's face, but he nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, it's indeed from my store. I... thought it was a high imitation, so I sold it for 3000 yuan. I thought it was true..."

Hu Dong really didn't think that the painting in his store was the real picture of Qi Baishi. He bought it from another person and spent 500 yuan. When he arrived in his store, he hung it for 3000 yuan. s price.

The reason why I don’t think it’s Qi Baishi’s paintings is actually very simple. One is Qi Baishi’s paintings, especially his shrimps, which are very famous. There are many imitators, and high imitations are the most likely to appear. At the same time, real Qi Baishi’s paintings are on the market. It is rare, because every time a piece appears, it will be taken away immediately, because Liu Baishi's painting is one of the best collections, and it is increasing every year. In short, simply speaking, as long as you buy As far as Qi Baishi's paintings are concerned, as long as they are true, they will not lose money!
Of course Fang Ming understood Hu Dong's mood very well at this time, but he still said directly: "Yes, it is indeed true, this is exactly Lao Qi's work."

Hu Dong took a few deep breaths, Fang Ming's words were like a knife that made his heart hurt, but after all, he has been in the antique world for many years, and he has actually seen such things many times. I have experienced a lot, so after a while, I adjusted my mood back.

"Boss Hu, to be honest, although you said you made a hole in this painting, I think the antiques in the store should be almost sold out, right? You must have made a lot of money."

Hu Dong thought for a while, and found that this is really the case. He did not earn 01:30 points from other antiques, so although he was wrong about this painting, he still made money.

Looking at the expression on Hu Dong's face, Fang Ming knew that he had figured it out, and said, "In our line of work, it's actually very rare to pick up leaks. On the contrary, there are a lot of holes."

"Well, that's true, Mr. Fang, what you said is not wrong at all."

Hu Dong is also a person with many years of experience. He knows that what Fang Ming said is not wrong. The actual situation in the antique business is like this. It is not an easy thing to find mistakes. On the contrary, it will happen if you are not careful.Authentic antiques have little to do with picking up leaks, or it is actually very unrealistic to make a fortune by picking up leaks in the antique industry in recent years.The most direct reason for this phenomenon is that there are too many people playing with antiques now, and many people have very good eyesight, so it is naturally very difficult to find leaks.

Of course, all of this is not applicable to Fang Ming.

"Mr. Fang, you haven't told us how much this painting is worth."

Someone in the crowd yelled again.

Only then did Fang Ming remember that he was so busy chatting with Hu Dong that he forgot about this matter. Now many people are looking at him eagerly, waiting for his answer.

"The value of Qi Baishi's shrimp is easy to judge. Let me tell you that the easiest way is to see how many shrimps there are in the painting. For one, you can estimate it at 50-100 million."

"boom!"

As soon as Fang Ming finished speaking, the crowd suddenly exploded. A shrimp can be as low as 50 or as high as 100 million. There are three shrimps on the painting in front of you. Doesn’t that mean that the minimum is 150 million, the maximum is 300 million or above?

A painting worth 3000 yuan, it turns out that its true value is at least 150 million!This can definitely be said to be a big leak.

"No way?"

"Is it really worth so much money?"

"Why not? If someone else said it, I still don't believe it a little bit, but it is Teacher Fang Mingfang who is speaking now, so it is absolutely unmistakable."

"That's right! Teacher Fang can't be wrong if he said that."

"It's a pity! I also saw this painting at the time... I thought, Qi Baishi's painting? This is impossible... Who knew it was real!"
