gifted collector

Chapter 30

Back at Avonzhai, Fang Ming opened the safe in the store. There was a safe in the store, which was used by Zhou Yafang to store more expensive antiques. The extra-large safe, put that set of porcelain in it, after all, it is an antique worth tens of millions, so naturally you have to be careful.

Opening the safe, Fang Ming took out the porcelain and put it in a box, then hurried out, and took a taxi to the address Zhou Yafang gave, which was a villa in the city center.

"It seems that I have to buy a car earlier."

When he walked into the villa, Fang Ming had such a thought in his mind, but he immediately put this thought behind him, because he saw a person that he never expected to see——Zheng Ru.

"Ah? Why are you here?"

"That's what I should have said."

Seeing Fang Ming, Zheng Ru was also very surprised - she really did not expect to see Fang Ming here at all.

The owner of the villa is Sikong Zhe, a well-known securities dealer in Ningdong City. He entered this industry 20 years ago, and he has an outstanding vision. Now he is naturally earning a lot of money--money is important to him. Such people are just numbers.

Therefore, his status in the social circle of Ningdong City is actually very high.

Sikong Zhe is a crazy lover of antique collectors. He is different from ordinary rich people who collect. His vision is as vicious as he is in securities investment, and he is more accurate than many experts who specialize in antique collection.

Zheng Ru already knew that Fang Ming worked in an antique shop, but how could a person who worked in an antique shop be qualified to come to Sikong Zhe's villa?One must know that what Fang Ming looked at in the library were all introductory bookcases for antique collection. This can also prove that Fang Ming has not been in the industry for a long time, and which one can enter Sikong Zhe's villa is still famous in the collection circle. people?

Fang Ming obviously does not belong to this kind of person!

However, the other party came.

Pointing to the box in his hand, Fang Ming said, "Heh, I'll bring something over."

"Oh, what?"

While walking in with Fang Ming, Zheng Ru asked curiously, normally Fang Ming's box should contain antiques, but it doesn't look like it, because the box is so ordinary that you can find it everywhere, and you can find it everywhere. The antiques that have entered Sikong Zhe's "Dharma Eye" should at least be housed in a better one.

"Antique, you will see what it is after a while."

Walking into the gate of the villa, Fang Ming found that there was a yard next to it. Although it was not very big and only less than 100 square meters, if you think about it, this is not the suburb of the city but the city center, and you will understand what this means.

In the middle is a road that divides the courtyard into two halves. A tall sycamore tree is planted in the corner on the left. The small half of the courtyard is covered by its thick leaves, and a small pond is dug for the remaining half. Below you can see a few water lilies planted in the small pond, and even a few small goldfish swimming in it.

The courtyard looks nothing special on the surface, but it has a refined feel and is clearly well designed and cared for.

"The outside world has been rumored that Sikong Zhe hired someone to take care of his yard, and the salary of this person alone reached 20000 yuan a month!
"Rich people are rich after all."

Fang Ming sighed, such a yard would cost 24 yuan a year just to hire one person to take care of it?
If it's not that there is something wrong with his brain, then he is really rich, and Sikong Zhe obviously belongs to the latter.

"This is true. In their eyes, maybe 24 yuan is not a lot of money at all, it's just a drop in the bucket."

Si Kongzhe's money is really ridiculously large, 24 is really not a lot of money in his eyes.

The yard is not big, and soon passed through, and another villa appeared. At this time, the hall on the first floor was brightly lit, and there were voices of voices from the opened door from time to time. Obviously, it was very lively inside. .

"It seems that there are a lot of people coming tonight, let's go in quickly."

Although he had doubts in his heart, Zheng Ru didn't have time to think clearly at this time, so he asked Fang Ming to go in with him.

Walking into the lobby of the villa, Fang Ming glanced at it, and found that there were not many people in the hall, only three. Zhou Yafang knew him, but he didn't know the other two.

The one sitting in the middle is a man in his fifties. His hair is half black and half white, giving him the feeling that he has experienced all kinds of situations in the world. However, he has a wide mouth and big ears, a face like a jujube, especially the lion-like nose and Those eagle-like eyes made it obvious that he was not a simple person.

As for the other one, he is a thin man, and he is too thin to be thinner, and he is tall, with small facial features, which are all squeezed on his face, especially the nose that feels like it is directly inlaid, but it is not at all. It will make people feel disgusted, but feel very comfortable.

"Fang Ming, how did you know Zheng Ru?"

After sitting down, Zhou Yafang's nature of gossip as a woman exploded, and she immediately asked Fang Ming what was going on.

Fang Ming briefly talked about what happened before, and Zhou Yafang was delighted when she heard it, and said, "I really never imagined that you could have such an affair just by going to the library to read books for a day."

Fang Ming couldn't laugh or cry, what kind of affair is this?
"By the way, Sister Avon, what is the background of this Zheng Ru?"

Zhou Yafang pointed to Zheng Bo, and said: "This Zheng Bo is a leading figure in our collectors. It is said that he was born in tomb robbery. Famous for being vicious, many things can be identified with his eyes, and he has never been eyed."

"The Zheng Ru you know is his daughter."

"Ah?! His daughter?"

Listening to Zhou Yafang's words, Fang Ming had been nodding his head gently. He had been in the industry for too short a time, and naturally he didn't know any of these "jianghu" characters. To listen carefully.

When he heard that Zheng Ru was Zheng Bo's daughter, he couldn't help crying out in a low voice, and he couldn't help but look at Zheng Bo.

To be honest, Zheng Bai really doesn't look very good?Zheng Ru is like a flower like a jade, how could the two be father and daughter?
Obviously this is not the first time this has happened, Zheng Bai touched his nose, then smiled and said: "Oh, how is it? Do you not believe that she is my daughter?"

Fang Ming blushed, he really thought so in his heart, he touched his head embarrassingly, and said, "Oh, this... is indeed a little bit beyond my expectation."

Everyone laughed when they heard Fang Ming's words. Fang Ming was a little too "honest".

"There is no way, who told me to marry a beautiful wife."

Zheng Bai's face was full of smiles, obviously in his opinion, this was a very proud thing.

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

Seeing her father like this, Zheng Ru also felt quite a headache. Mother and father belonged to a typical marriage between young and old. The father who has now entered his seventies often behaved like a child, not to mention himself, even his mother. There is no way to take him.

"Ha! Speaking of which is indeed true, we are all envious of Lao Zheng's blessing."

Si Kongzhe also laughed, he and Zheng Bai are old friends for many years, so it is natural to dare to say such words, of course, it is difficult for people like Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang to accept such words.

"Old man Sikong, what are you talking about, let's look at the antiques first."

Zheng Bai glared at Sikong Zhe, what he most wanted to see now was the antique Zhou Yafang mentioned.

"Okay, Miss Zhou, please show us the antique first."

Si Kongzhe is a collector. He heard that Zhou Yafang had some good things before, so he was full of anticipation at this moment. After seeing Lie Xinxi, his voice became louder, and he didn't have the calm and easy demeanor he showed before.

Fang Ming nodded, put the box he brought on the table, and opened it gently. The first thing he took out was Zhao Huo's set of 28 Ming Dynasty folk kiln tableware.

As soon as this set of things was brought out, it immediately attracted the attention of Zheng Bai, Sikong Zhe and others.Just like what Zhou Yafang showed before, it's not like they haven't seen such a fine folk kiln before, but they have never seen such a complete set.

"This is good stuff!"

After a long while, it was Sikong Zhe who spoke first. He put down a bowl he picked up with some reluctance, sighed, and said, "It's hard to say that such things don't exist, but no one who collects them will take them again." Out."

"Well, that's true. Don't talk about such things now, even decades ago, they were rare."

Zheng Bai was also quite surprised. The strength of the folk kilns was a bit different from that of the palace kilns. This also meant that there were not many high-quality porcelain produced by the folk kilns, which in turn led to higher and higher prices for the fine products of the folk kilns.

At the same time, because the things in folk kilns are used by ordinary people, that is, after they are out of the kiln, they are taken back by ordinary people and used in daily life, so the chance of damage is even greater. This makes it difficult to preserve porcelain from folk kilns.

The set of porcelain in front of me is complete, and it can be seen that it has not been used at all, which is really rare.

"This is handed down from my sixth uncle's family, and it is said that he will use it when he gets married."

Zheng Bai nodded and said, "It turns out that's the case, so it's not surprising."

Most of the things in folk kilns are hidden among the people. If there are caring people, such as Zhao Huo's parents, who prepared them for their son's marriage, or passed them down from generation to generation, it is indeed possible to exist.

"I'll pay 4000 million for this thing, how about it?"

Zheng Bai opened his mouth, and finally gave up. It would be a lie if he said he didn't want the set of things in front of him, but in terms of financial resources, he couldn't compete with Sikong Zhe—no matter what he said, he couldn't I'm just an antique collector, and my family does have money, but it's impossible to spend 4000 million or more all at once.

Fang Ming looked at Zhou Yafang, he decided to leave the pricing to her, as he was still not very good at it.

"Okay, just 4000."

Zhou Yafang agreed without thinking too much. The price of the set of porcelain in front of me is actually here. Even if it is auctioned, it is unlikely to be much higher. A person with an identity like Sikong Zhe would not deliberately Lower prices.

Sikong Zhe laughed and said: "It will be my birthday in a few days, it seems that I finally have something to entertain guests."

Fang Ming sighed in his heart. There are so many rich people in this world. For example, Sikong Zhe spent 4000 million yuan without saying anything. The set of antique bowls he bought was not for collection, but for Entertaining guests was beyond his imagination.

……

Zhou Yafang, who was driving the car, took a look at Fang Ming, then smiled and said, "I really can't think of it. You have just entered the industry, and you have such achievements. I think I was so poor when I first entered the industry. Compared with you, I can only see you." It might just be to find a piece of tofu and crash it to death."

The two sets of antiques that Fang Ming brought from his hometown, a set of high-quality Ming folk kiln porcelain, sold for 4000 million yuan, and he really made a lot of money tonight!

Touching his nose, Fang Ming couldn't help laughing when he remembered the scene when Zheng Bai tightly held his hand when he left Sikong Zhe's villa and said that if he had something good next time, he must call him directly.explain:

"Hey, the 4000 million is not mine."

"But 10% of it is yours."

"Wrong, only 5% is mine, and the other 5% is yours, Sister Avon."

Zhao Huo had said that he would give Fang Ming 10% of the middle price for the set of porcelain that had just been sold. Now that the items have been sold, according to the agreement, he and Zhou Yafang can get 200 million.
