Chapter 1332 Don't scare the snake

"Fang Ming, what are your plans for Zheng Hui's matter? Although I don't know much about this person's situation now, if necessary, I can try to find a way to inquire again, and even see if there is anything I can do. Such an opportunity to communicate with each other.”

Xie Zhongzhong knew that Fang Ming was definitely not aiming for nothing. Since Zheng Hui was mentioned like this, it must be for something.But now he doesn't know exactly what Fang Ming's purpose is, so he wants to find out clearly and see how to deal with it next.

"I went abroad this time for two important purposes. One is, of course, because Wang Tian and others have joined, our plan has expanded, so we must bring him to meet with you and deal with this matter. Second The first one is actually implemented in the channels for recycling antiques. Now we mainly have channels for recycling antiques, Kara’s, and Xie Laoyou’s public auctions or some other channels.”

"The current situation has proved that such channels are very effective. However, if there are more channels, I think they should also be pursued."

"Zhenghui is another channel you plan to expand?"

Xie Zhongcheng now understood what Fang Ming meant.

"Yes, that's right. I think so. Because of his father, Zheng Hui's status in the circle of tomb robbers is actually very high. Back then, due to various reasons, the circle of tomb robbers Many people have actually gone abroad, and they are now the second generation. If Zheng Hui can get in touch with more tomb robbers, they will definitely have a lot of good things in their hands, and Because their antiques are sourced from places such as the imperial mausoleum, the quality is very good.”

Zheng Hui was not the main purpose, Fang Ming hoped to use Zheng Hui to open up the circle of tomb robbers who went abroad and take back the antiques in their hands.

"Fang Ming, I understand what you mean. But, do you think it's possible? I mean, are they willing to sell those antiques?"

Whether this matter can be successful, one of the most important keys is whether people like Zheng Hui are willing to make a move. If they don't have such a willingness at all, and just want to keep the antiques in their own hands, then what? It is useless to try more methods.

"I don't think there's a problem with that."

Fang Ming understood Xie Zhongzhong's worry, "Actually, I have analyzed this issue, and I will express my thoughts. Mr. Xie, you should also think about it."

"Okay, tell me."

When Xie Zhongzhong heard that Fang Ming had considered this issue, he immediately felt relieved. Based on his understanding of Fang Ming, since he had already thought about it, there must be no problem.

"Grave robbers, although they have a lot of contact with antiques and have a strong ability to identify them, they are not collectors after all. After things are in their hands, they don't want to hold them in their hands. It is actually a huge risk for them, and they must sell things as soon as possible. This actually depends on the different attitudes towards antiques between normal collectors and grave robbers.”

Xie Zhongzhong couldn't help but nodded. Fang Ming's analysis was more correct. Tomb robbers always wanted to sell something after they got it.

"Since Zheng Hui is a descendant of tomb robbers, his mentality is likely to be the same, so there is no problem in this regard. Also, I didn't intend to use it because the things in their hands were tomb robbers. So I lowered the price, I intend to offer a good price, which should be enough temptation for them."

The things from the tomb robbery are of course of bad origin. Fang Ming didn't plan to lower the price in this regard. He planned to buy them at normal prices. This was the same when he bought the ancient bronze tripod from Zheng Hui. reason.

Xie Zhongzhong is also very familiar with the antique industry. Of course, he understands that the unspoken rule in the circle is that the price of such antiques will be much lower than normal antiques because of the source. If Fang Ming really adopts such a strategy , things will definitely be much easier to handle.

Fang Ming frowned, and said helplessly, "However, there is one problem. People like them are very suspicious. Generally speaking, they only trade with people they know well. I think the most important thing now is The problem is not that Zheng Hui doesn't want to make a deal with us, but because he has some scruples in his heart, so he doesn't dare to look for us again. The tripod in front of him, if it wasn't because Zheng Hui happened to be short of money, I don't think he would make a move. At least not to a first-timer like me."

"It is precisely because of this that I think it is possible for Zheng Hui to contact me again, but the strange thing is that he has not contacted me until now. I think this matter is a bit strange."

What happened to Zheng Hui was indeed beyond Fang Ming's expectations. Zheng Hui was short of money, that's for sure, and he also had a very successful transaction.

Fang Ming really felt a little puzzled about this matter.

"This thing is indeed a little strange."

Xie Zhongzhong thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what was going on here, so he simply asked Fang Ming what he wanted to do.

"How about this."

Fang Ming thought for a while, and said: "If possible, ask about this Zheng Hui's news, one is his personal, and at the same time find out about his circle of tomb robbers abroad, I mean those who come from China. The position in the circle of descendants of tomb robbers, but don’t disturb him, and don’t contact him yet. Because I think it’s best if he can take the initiative to contact me again.”

This is Fang Ming's most important goal for going abroad this time, and it is the key to establishing a new channel for recycling antiques. Fang Ming couldn't help but not pay attention to the location.

The reason why Xie Zhongzhong was asked to inquire about the news first and not to contact him was actually because he was worried about alarming Zheng Hui, because people like Zheng Hui would be very careful when selling antiques. After releasing enough information, Fang Ming felt that it was still safe for the time being. A little is better.

"Okay, there is no problem. Then I will find a way to inquire about Zheng Hui and news, and wait a little longer to see if he will take the initiative to contact us. If not, I will find a way."

Xie Zhongzhong also agreed with Fang Ming's idea. For people like Zheng Hui, it is indeed better to be on the safe side. The situation is quite special.

It was getting late, Fang Ming and the others chatted for a while and went to rest in the villa arranged by Xie Zhongzhong.

After Liu Hanyan took a shower, she came out wrapped in a towel, only to find that Fang Ming was looking at an antique, and there were three or four opened boxes next to him, all of which were antiques.

"Xie Lao collected the antiques?"

Liu Hanyan sat down beside Fang Ming.

"Yes."

While playing with the antiques in his hand, Fang Ming said, "He collected these things, but there is one thing that I'm not sure about. This time I'm here, so he just brought them for me to have a look."

The antiques had already been placed in the villa, and it was obvious that Xie Zhongzhong had already planned to live here when he came.

"Is that a good thing?"

Hearing what Fang Ming said, Liu Hanyan also became curious. Xie Zhongcheng is certainly not as good as Fang Ming in the identification of antiques, but he is still a master. If even he is not sure about these antiques, then he has a little sense.

"He collected six such antiques. I looked at them just now. Two of them are high-quality imitations, but four of them were missed."

A smile appeared on Fang Ming's face, "To put it simply, Mr. Xie has made a lot of money from these few antiques, probably 600 to [-] million."

Fang Ming had called Xie Zhongzhong just now, and learned from him that the prices for these antiques in front of him could not be said to be low, but they were not high either. A sum of money, which is actually a very good thing.

"That still looks pretty good."

Liu Hanyan has come into contact with a lot of antiques now, and it is very good to know such a situation.

"Yes."

Fang Ming put the antique back into the box, stood up and walked to the wine cabinet, looked at it, picked out a wine, and took out two glasses.

"Well, not bad, the wine here is really good by Mr. Xie."

Liu Hanyan shook the cup a few times, looked at it under the light, and took another sip.

"Hey hey. Xie Lao's wine here is of course good."

Liu Hanyan glared at Fang Ming and said, "As soon as I heard your words, I knew that you didn't have much research on red wine."

Fang Ming smiled embarrassingly. As Liu Hanyan said, he really didn't have much research on red wine, but he was thick-skinned. He reached out and hugged Liu Hanyan to his lap, and said, "It seems that you have a lot of knowledge about red wine." In-depth research?"

"of course!"

Liu Hanyan raised her head proudly and said, "I'm definitely not as good as you when it comes to appraising antiques, but when it comes to red wine, ten Fang Mings are no match for me!"

"Isn't it?"

Fang Ming couldn't help being taken aback. Judging from Liu Hanyan's tone, she is not an ordinary expert.

"Actually, I'm the best wine taster in the world..."

"Then... do you own several wineries?"

As Fang Ming was talking, he became a little absent-minded. Liu Hanyan had just taken a shower, and his body exuded a faint fragrance. This smell stimulated Fang Ming's body like the strongest medicine in the world. At the same time, Liu Hanyan was still sitting on the bed. On his thighs, although he was wearing pajamas, the warm and firm buttocks really made Fang Ming's heart tremble.
