gifted collector

Chapter 177
Back in Guxuanzhai, Fang Ming immediately saw Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen, both of them showed anxious expressions, and when they saw Fang Ming came back, they immediately showed a relieved expression.

"I thought it was too late for you to come back."

There was still an hour and a half before the time stated in the notice. Zhou Yafang was really worried that Fang Ming would be delayed by the matter. Although she was also a master, but because of the speed of the appraisal, there was no problem under normal circumstances. But it is not so useful in such a situation.

"I went to see Ke Liu before, and talked about the cooperation issue of the upcoming leak-picking live broadcast, so it took a little time."

Originally, Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen were still a little worried about the upcoming collection of antiques, but when they heard Fang Ming say that they were going to see Ke Liu, their gossiping hearts immediately burned, and they looked at Fang Ming together.

"What do you mean? You don't really think I have anything to do with her, do you?"

Fang Ming spread his hands, feeling quite a headache, thinking that Ke Liu is not a cat in heat, how could he be unable to control himself when he sees him?
"Is she a beauty? How does it feel to be a real person?"

Fang Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "You two are rare beauties, so what if she is more beautiful? She may not be better than you."

Fang Ming was not flattering Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen, he was telling the truth, both Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen are rare beauties, if you have to say that the beauty of the three people is not the same For example, Jiang Wen is the delicate beauty of a little girl, Zhou Yafang is the beauty of maturity and shrewdness, and Ke Liu is the beauty of intellectuality, because the beauty is different, and it is better to put them together. any sense.

"Really?"

Although Jiang Wen is still young, the jealous factors of women's nature have disappeared in his body one by one, and his reaction at this time is a bit faster than Zhou Yafang's.

"Of course it is true, pearls are not so true!"

Fang Ming raised his right hand and continued, "Do you want me to swear?"

"Okay, let's trust you for now."

If it wasn't for the collection of antiques in a while, Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen would definitely not miss the opportunity of cross-examination, but at this time they can only put it down temporarily.

Looking towards the gate, Fang Ming saw that there were already people gathered there:
"Isn't it? Could it be that the current antiques are rotten? There are so many people selling antiques?"

Zhou Yafang also shook her head and said, "Actually, someone came in before you came back and asked if we were buying antiques."

"There is still an hour to start, and there are already so many people around now, can we pay back in a while?"

Jiang Wen was also surprised. She also felt that this was incredible. There were already about 100 people gathered outside the store at this time. Could it be said that the number would reach more than [-] in an hour.

"It would be better for us if something like this really happened, the only thing I worry about now is what if all the antiques in their hands are fake?
It's not hard to guess the thoughts of the people outside the store. Although the antiques in their hands have been researched for many years, they still have no way to identify whether they are real or fake. Fang Ming must want to sell them here as real things. If it is found to be fake, then forget it, and you can have peace of mind. If it is found to be true, then it is already sold as real, and you have no loss, right?
Fang Ming's purpose this time was to buy antiques, otherwise there would be no antiques for sale in the store, so he was worried that what these people brought were fakes.

As for whether it can be identified, will you know how to drill eyes?

It's not a problem at all, so nothing to worry about.

Zhou Yafang nodded lightly, and said, "Yes, what if all these people bring fakes, what should we do? I'm afraid our store will be sold out of antiques tomorrow."

Until now, Zhou Yafang felt that this was really absurd. It was really unbelievable that so many antiques in the store were sold out in just a few days.

Spreading his hands, Fang Ming said, "This is beyond our control, so it's useless to think about it."

"What if... I mean, what if we don't get the antiques?"

Jiang Wen knew that ordinary antiques were not in Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang's eyes at all - none of the antiques sold in the store were less than 10 yuan, and after a few days she also knew that ordinary antiques would cost more than 10 yuan. This level is not that easy thing either.

"This... If this is really the case, then I don't know."

Fang Ming scratched his hair and shook his head. If such a thing really happened, there might be only one way: temporarily close the shop.

"Fang Ming!"

Just as Fang Ming, Zhou Yafang, and Jiang Wen were chatting and waiting for the time to come, a person strode in outside, and it was Zheng Bai who arrived before the sound came.

"Old Zheng, why are you here?"

After the Treasure Appreciation Conference started, people like Zheng Bai should be very busy, how could they have time to come here.

"Ha! When I was having dinner just now, I heard that you have something interesting to do here. I happen to have time, so I came over to have a look."

Zheng Bai was also polite, walked over and sat down on an empty seat, and said, "Have a cup of tea, the temperature outside is too high, it's really unbearable."

After drinking two cups of tea in a row, Zheng Bai finally realized that the hot weather outside is indeed a challenge for a person of his age, not to mention that the activities he has to attend since the start of the Appreciation Conference are really too much. A little too much, plus there are entertainments, it is really embarrassing!
"Forget it, I'll call Sikong Zhe and say that I will stay with you today and I won't go anywhere."

Zheng Bai really didn't want to move, he thought it was good to stay here with Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang, and he hadn't appreciated enough of the antiques in Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang's shop.

"what!"

Fang Ming laughed loudly and said, "Okay, I don't care, you are my senior, and it's too late for me to welcome you if you want to stay here."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zheng Bai said: "Forget it, this is just talk, it's good to be able to take a break. There are too many things these days."

Although Si Kongzhe hosted the Treasure Appreciation Conference this time, it is a grand event for the collectors in Ningdong City, and all collectors in Ningdong City should work hard for it. Senior-level figures naturally have to take on heavy responsibilities.

Pointing to the people around the store entrance, Zheng Bai said, "You have made another incident? Now the whole Ningdong City knows about it."

"I have no way."

Fang Ming spread his hands, and said helplessly: "The antiques in my store are almost sold out. The previous one was too hard to pick up, and they can no longer be used. I can't close the store, right? How many days has the treasure meeting been held?"

"Huh? Isn't it?"

Zheng Bai looked outside the reception hall, and found that many of the shelves were empty, and his eyeballs were about to fall off. After a long while, he said, "Are you selling antiques or Chinese cabbage?"

"Business is better, so..."

Seeing Fang Ming's "shy" look when he spoke, Zheng Bai really wanted to slap him, and his face changed, obviously very depressed.

"Well, it seems that you can only go through this method."

Zheng Bai had opened a shop himself when he was young, so he knew how to run an antique shop, and of course he also understood what Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang’s “dilemma” was all about—in fact, let alone Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang, even It was impossible for an old talent like him to have imagined that antiques would sell for so much.

The reason why antiques are antiques is that the biggest feature is their scarcity. The consequence of scarcity is not only valuable, but also means that it is difficult to find them. For people who run antique shops, it is impossible to pull a truckload of goods when "purchasing" !

The antiques in Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang's store were selling too fast, and "restocking" was a huge problem, so they had no choice but to come up with such a way to replenish the supply of goods.

"Hey hey, long live the understanding."

Fang Ming cupped his hands to Zheng Bai, and said, "Old Zheng, do you think this is possible? Our store is indeed short of antiques. If anyone has something they want to sell, we are willing to accept it. And the price will definitely satisfy you.”

When Zheng Bai heard it, the old man showed a surprised expression. He never thought that Fang Mingguang could infer so much information from his own words.

In fact, Zheng Bai felt that Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang had gone a little too far in collecting antiques so openly. For them, the limelight is already enough, and they will continue to be in the limelight. If this is the case, then It's better not to be so "arrogant" for the time being, Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by the forest wind.Now that Fang Ming's reputation for picking up leaks has spread, wouldn't collecting antiques in this way be the same as eating alone?
It's hard to get fat by eating alone, the reason is that other people who can't eat will come to make trouble, no matter how powerful Fang Ming is, he is only one person, it is too dangerous to play like this.

He was worried that Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang were too young to have experience in this area. As a senior, he had to remind them that in fact this was the real reason why he rushed here.

Fang Ming’s words sounded nothing special on the surface, but the meaning inside was actually to say to Zheng Bai, I know that I am a little too “arrogant” now, and I also understand that it is hard to get fat alone, and there must be people who will see that I am not good enough. It's pleasing to the eye, so why not, I can collect some antiques from them at a higher price, which can be regarded as a little compensation for them.

"Fang Ming is really good at being a man!"

This was the thought that appeared in Zheng Bai's mind at this time, and he immediately realized that his previous worries were really unnecessary. Fang Ming looked young, but in fact he was young and mature.
