Chapter 490
"Lu Yao, what's wrong?"

While talking, Fang Ming looked in the direction Lu Yao was looking at, and then saw two tall European white men walking in. Lu Yao kept her eyes fixed on these two people, obviously she knew them.

"These two people, the taller one is called Abigail, and the shorter one is called Brett, they are from the auction house where I used to work."

As soon as Fang Ming heard it, he immediately recalled it.

Today's auction is Lu Yao's first public auction since she set up her own business, and the important thing is that although everyone was allowed to come in and look at the antiques before, only the one who can come in to participate in this auction is 50 people.

It is conceivable that Lu Yao must have selected the last person who can enter today through a method similar to distributing invitations, that is to say, everyone who entered was chosen by Lu Yao—if this If not, she would never choose her former colleagues.Lu Yao is robbing the other party's job.

Therefore, the reason why the two people in front of them appeared here was to ask for trouble.

"After a lot of investigation, I finally confirmed the list of people attending this auction today. These two people are not on the list."

Lu Yao's face was so tight that it was almost freezing.

"Oh? Your invitations...are anonymous?"

Fang Ming frowned.

Nodding her head, Lu Yao said: "Yes, these invitations I sent out are indeed anonymous - because there is no need to register at all, and the people who get them are not ordinary people, even if they are giving the invitations to others , that must be given to people who have the same status as them.”

Fang Ming understood that for Lu Yao's auction, even if the list was locked, there was no way to be sure that all the people on the list would attend.In order to avoid too few people present at the end to keep playing, they often use anonymous methods to allow those people's invitation letters to "circulate" to another person's hands.

As Lu Yao said, even if the person who gets the invitation letter gives the invitation letter to others, it will also be given to those who are similar in status and economic conditions to them and who are interested in antique auctions, so in the end it will not damage The "style" of the auction.

However, in this way, accidents and misfortunes are prone to occur. This is exactly the case with the two people in front of them. They are probably here to make trouble - they don't know who they got the invitation letter from.

"Heh, we have no way to drive them out now, so we can only see their tricks. By the way, they came over, and it seems that they want to say hello to us."

"Hello, Lu, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I thought you were unemployed, but I didn't expect you to start an auction company by yourself."

"Yeah, we wouldn't have known about it if we hadn't gotten word from a client by chance."

Abigail and Brett came over and started singing in harmony.

Lu Yao knew that what Fang Ming said was correct, no matter what the other party's purpose in coming here was, it was impossible for her to tear up her face with the other party now, so she just saw the trick.

"Abigail, Brett, long time no see. How are you doing? You look pretty good."

There was nothing unusual in Lu Yao's tone. Fang Ming knew that she had adjusted her mentality at this time, so she was relieved. No matter what time it was, keeping calm was very important.

Abigail glanced at Fang Ming who was standing next to Lu Yao, and said, "Lu, what is the name of this Mr.? He is also in our line of business? But... why have I never met him?"

When he was in the company before, Abigail had pursued Lu Yao, but he didn't succeed, and he also noticed that there were very few men around Lu Yao. Fang Ming, the fire of jealousy in his heart naturally ignited. Of course, he felt that he was a gentleman, so he worked hard to control his emotions.

However, when he spoke, he still had thorns. He had never seen Fang Ming before, so he was turning a corner and saying that Fang Ming was a nobody.

"I'm Fang Ming."

Fang Ming nodded. Abigail and Brett in front of him looked like dogs in suits and leather shoes, but he knew that such people should be handled with more care, because a dog that bites does not bark. of.

Of course, how could he fail to understand the meaning of the other party's words, but in Fang Ming's view, the Abigail in front of him was just a clown, so let's see what the other party wanted before talking.

"Fang Ming? Where... have I heard of this name?"

Abigail, who was muttering to herself, suddenly changed her face and called out loudly, "You are that Fang Ming!?"

Fang Ming raised the wine glass in his hand, gestured to Abigail and Brett, and said, "It seems that you have heard of my name, so I should not be an unknown person."

Abigail's face darkened.He had indeed heard of Fang Ming's name. This time he and Brett came to Ningdong City to investigate the art market here, which of course included antiques. You must know that antiques are now very popular internationally. Many rich and powerful people Are willing to spend a lot of money to buy.

During the investigation, the name they heard the most was Fang Ming. This young man had not been in the antique collection circle in Ningdong City for a long time, but he had turned the entire collection circle upside down. Let’s not talk about Xuanzhai, they are very famous in the antique collection circle now, they have also been to Dongcheng Street, they are all professionals, it is natural to see the persistence of the development there, knowing that maybe it won’t take long In time, it can develop into a paradise of artworks that people can't stop.

More importantly, they have already found out through a relationship that Dongcheng Street is a huge consortium involving many people, including professionals in the antique industry and investors.

A Dongcheng Street that does not lack professionalism and investment, the speed of development is absolutely conceivable.

After learning about these situations, Abigail and Brett have decided to find an opportunity to contact Fang Ming to see if there is any chance of cooperation.

Now Fang Ming is already a small person, and he can meet if he wants to, and if he wants to cooperate, he should definitely be introduced by some important people, so that he can gain mutual trust, but they are still there. While looking for such a suitable middleman, they never met Fang Ming at Lu Yao's auction!

Abigail and Brett did know about Lu Yao's auction by accident.Out of fantasies about former colleagues, and more importantly, they are competitors at this time, so Abigail and Brett came.

"Mr. Fang Ming, hello, I didn't expect to meet you here. I originally planned to visit you in Guxuanzhai."

Abigail's face was not very good-looking. He originally planned to discuss cooperation with Fang Ming, but when he saw Fang Ming and Lu Yao together, he knew that his plan might come to nothing—unless he could convince the company to do the same with Lu Yao. Yao cooperates.

"Heh, we have a saying that it is better to meet by chance than to invite each other. It seems that we are destined."

Fang Ming remained calm, he didn't know the other party's intentions for the time being, so naturally he wouldn't show his emotions.

"Today's occasion is not suitable. I wonder if I can find a place to sit after the auction is over?"

When Abigail was speaking, she looked at Lu Yao, with a hesitant expression on her face, as if she also had other emotions.

"No problem, I'm also here today to add to the auction. Let's talk about anything after the auction is over."

Fang Ming did not refuse Abigail's invitation, but nodded in agreement.

After obtaining Fang Ming's consent, Abigail and Brett turned and walked away.

After leaving Fang Ming and Lu Yao, Abigail looked around and said to Abright in a low voice:

"Brett, what do you think of this auction?"

Sighing softly, Brett said: "Not bad, very good. Lu Yao used to be a master in our company, and her planning is absolutely top-notch in the world. To be honest, her departure is definitely a failure of our company." a great loss."

"Look at the antiques that are about to be auctioned. They are all good things. Even if they are placed in our company, they can already become the main focus of auctions in a certain quarter."

Brett is a master at appraisal. The antiques that Lu Yao wants to auction are all placed on open shelves. After looking at a few pieces, he immediately came to a conclusion. Of course, this conclusion is not a good thing.Because this shows that Lu Yao probably has sufficient art channels, what is the most important thing for an auction company?It is the channel of incoming goods-is the auction company with nothing to auction still an auction company?
Therefore, Lu Yao is likely to become a huge opponent. Bright has just obtained the shares of the company and became a shareholder of the company. Naturally, he does not want to see a huge opponent appear.

"Not to mention the layout of her scene."

Abigail frowned and said, "In this case, we have to teach her a lesson, or we will be in big trouble if she doesn't grow up."

"Yes, but..."

Brett pointed at Fang Ming and said, "This Fang Ming is our main target here this time, and he has a good relationship with Lu Yao, if we deal with Lu Yao, I'm afraid it will cause Fang Ming's displeasure. "

Hearing Brett say this, Abigail's jealousy that had already burst out before rushed up again, and said coldly: "Hmph! I think your worries are a little unnecessary. This Fang Ming is just a businessman. As long as we give him enough benefits, such as agreeing that he can auction off the antiques in his Guxuanzhai in our auction company, are you afraid that he will not agree?"
