Chapter 1335
"Old Ma, I think you have a plan in mind."

Fang Ming would not be polite to Ma Wu, so he spoke immediately.

Xie Zhongzhong looked at Ma Wu and said with a smile, "Look, I told you that this kid won't be polite to you. As soon as you show your words, he will immediately hit you with a stick."

"Hey hey hey!"

Fang Ming would not be embarrassed at all, "Of course, Mr. Ma is a senior, so of course he has to take care of juniors like us."

"what!"

Ma Wu was really happy now, pointing at Fang Ming and cursing with a smile: "I said Fang Ming, you really have a thick skin! There is nothing wrong with you being a junior, but if you say If you want me to take care of you, then this is really too much nonsense! You are doing well now, you can take care of me a bit!"

"what!"

Fang Ming immediately shook his head and said: "Old Ma, what you said is not authentic at all! And you really think highly of me! I won't do such a thing."

"Come on! You two don't come here and you brag about me. Old man Ma, just tell us the solution we discussed before. Fang Ming is a person with many ideas. Tell us the solution, and we will Let's do some research."

Xie Zhongzhong couldn't see it anymore, and interrupted Fang Ming and Ma Wu's words.

Fang Ming looked at Xie Zhongzhong, and then realized that Xie Zhongzhong had already discussed this matter with Ma Wu before he went abroad again.

"In fact, it's very simple to say, that is, when we buy antiques lost abroad, we also need to buy those foreign artworks, so that we can support war with war."

Fang Ming understood Ma Wu's meaning as soon as he heard it. This is indeed a good way.

Buying foreign artworks, such as oil paintings and sculptures, will definitely appreciate in value if you keep them in your hands for a period of time. If you sell them again, you can use the money you earn to recycle antiques, or directly exchange them.

In fact, Fang Ming thought about this method when he went abroad last time, and he is still implementing it, but there is a problem, that is, the strength is really not strong.

Xie Zhongzhong also knew this, and Ma Wu must have known it too. Now that he brought up this matter again, of course it was not a small matter, but hoped to manage this matter.

There is no need to think about the benefits here.

"I agree with this proposal."

Fang Ming nodded without hesitation, "However, there is a problem. After all, it is unlikely that I will only be abroad for a long time, so the acquisition of foreign artworks requires a dedicated person to be in charge. Of course, In terms of funding, there is no problem at all.”

Ma Wu and Xie Zhongcheng glanced at each other, and they both heard one thing from Fang Ming's tone, that is, even Fang Ming could identify foreign works of art.

"Manpower, there must be."

Ma Wu hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Old man Xie and I have researched this matter, and in our opinion the most critical issue is that the identification of general western artworks is not a big problem for the person we are looking for. But if it’s the sky-high priced ones, I think there will be some difficulty in appraising them, as we don’t have master-level appraisers on hand.”

Xie Zhongcheng and Ma Wu had studied this problem before, and the reason why they didn't start immediately was actually the most critical problem here. After all, it is not so easy to find a master appraiser.

Xie Zhongzhong and Ma Wu are actually good at traditional Chinese antiques. Although they also have contact with Western artworks, they are half a bucket of water, and they are definitely not able to hold the scene.

"If there is already a suitable daily management person, it is enough. I think you can deal with the things you are worried about. One is of course to pay for it. It doesn't matter if you spend a little more money. The other is, For those who really can’t be identified, I’ll come.”

Fang Ming's words made Xie Zhongzhong and Ma Wu look at each other again. Their concerns had been made very clear, but judging from what Fang Ming said now, it was definitely not a problem.

"This...Fang Ming, this Western artwork, in terms of appraisal, you have no problem?"

Xie Zhongzhong hesitated a little, but this question is very important, it can be said that it is the most critical part of the whole plan, so although Fang Ming is really disrespectful to ask it like this, he still decided to ask it directly .

"Yes, no problem."

Fang Ming understood what Xie Zhongcheng was worried about, but it was really not a problem for him - appraisal was never a problem for Fang Ming.

"Okay, since that's the case, old man Ma and I will start working on this matter."

Xie Zhongzhong knew that Fang Ming dared to say this, that means he was absolutely sure. In fact, the most risky part in the antique industry is the identification of those antiques that can easily cost tens of millions. The identification of ordinary antiques is actually not too difficult.

"Okay, this matter will be troublesome for Mr. Ma and Mr. Xie. For the matter of funds, Wang Tian and the others will contact the specific people you have arranged to handle the matter."

If it was in China, Fang Ming could still handle this matter, but now he is abroad, Fang Ming knows that he is very unfamiliar with the situation, so under such circumstances, he will hand over the matter to Xie Zhongzhong and Ma Kai. is the most reasonable way.

After this matter was arranged, Fang Ming thought of Zheng Hui's matter, and his heart moved. Just said it briefly.

Sure enough, Ma Wu immediately said that he did know Zheng Hui, but the problem was that Ma Wu also told Fang Ming that he and Zheng Hui did not have a deep friendship.

Fang Ming was a little disappointed, but he immediately adjusted his mood, knowing that this matter cannot be rushed.

"It seems that all we can do now is wait. There is no good way other than that."

Zheng Hui's circle is indeed an important goal for Fang Ming to go abroad this time, but now it seems that this goal is not easy to achieve.

However, he also knows that such a matter really cannot be rushed, after all, the initiative of the matter is really not in his own hands now.

"Fang Ming, if I'm not wrong, your real purpose is not the antiques in Zheng Hui's hands, but to use this opportunity to make an excuse. After all, the circle of tomb robbers abroad is not small. Those antiques in their hands are yours, right?"

It's not surprising that Ma Wu guessed his purpose. Fang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. According to some information I have, Zheng Hui's father is one of the tomb robbers who went abroad. High status, if I can reach a cooperation with him, that is actually very good, and I can get in touch with more people through him. Of course, my goal is not only the antiques in Zheng Hui's hands, but also the antiques like him. Antiques in the hands of many people."

"Old Ma, what better way do you have?"

Fang Ming is a very sensitive person, he already heard something special from Ma Wu's tone.

"I don't have much friendship with Zheng Hui, but I have a good relationship with another person in this circle. Although it is true that he does not have the status that Zheng Hui has in this circle, he still has little to think about. I think if you wish, Perhaps a contact can be arranged."

Fang Ming never expected to hear such good news when he came to Ma Wu, and immediately said: "Great! Mr. Ma, if it is really possible to get in touch with such a person, it will affect our entire plan." is very useful!"

"By the way, Mr. Ma, when you are in contact with the other party, you must make it clear to the other party that as long as the item is good, you don't have to worry about the price. I will use the market price to recycle!"

"Oh? Market price?"

Ma Wu raised his brows, of course he didn't think that Fang Ming didn't understand the industry rules, if he said that now, it could only show that Fang Ming really thought so, and wanted to buy these antiques lost abroad at a better price .

"Of course! My main purpose now is to recycle antiques. In terms of price, I want to provide a good price. What's the problem? We are doing big things, regardless of the small money."

"it is good!"

Ma Wu clapped his hands and said: "Fang Ming, if this is the case, then I think there should be no problem. You know that these people are not real antique collectors. Their attitude towards antiques is different from that of antique collectors." We are different. If given the chance, they hope to exchange the antiques in their hands for money. As far as I know, these people are eager to sell things quickly. Now that the price is ideal, I can’t think of them. Why did you refuse?"

"it is good!"

There was a smile on Fang Ming's face. He didn't expect that the matter that troubled him would be solved unintentionally. He was worried that there would be no way to solve this matter, but he didn't expect that he would get it from Ma Wu unintentionally. To achieve a breakthrough, this is really unintentional.

"Then I'll make some arrangements first, hurry up and see if I can meet tomorrow, and we'll talk about the details later."

Ma Wu is also a straightforward person, and made a decision immediately.

After solving this problem, Fang Ming's mood is very good, he really sees everything pleasing to the eye now.

Xie Zhongzhong noticed this right away, and said with a smile: "Fang Ming, I think you are really happy now."

"Hahaha!!"

Hearing what Xie Zhongcheng said, Fang Ming finally couldn't help it anymore, laughed loudly, and said, "Yes, that's right, it's true! I'm really very happy now!"

This matter is a very important purpose of Fang Ming's going abroad. Now that he finally sees the hope that the matter can be resolved, will he be unhappy if he can?
