gifted collector

Chapter 492
Fang Ming believed in his own eyesight. He found that the two islanders in front of him were staring at the two pieces of porcelain non-stop, as if they were seeing a woman without clothes, and they couldn't hide their desire.

I took out my phone and looked at it, and found that the shooting would start in less than 10 minutes, which means that I must find someone to bid for the two pieces of porcelain in front of me within 10 minutes, or once the auction starts, It's inconvenient for me to "lobby" anymore.

Looking around carefully, Fang Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and a fat man was walking towards him.

"It's him!"

Time was running out, and Fang Ming couldn't care less about choosing carefully, so he decided to use his sharp tongue to convince the fat man.

Li You took out a small towel from his pocket and wiped the sweat beads as big as soybeans on his forehead: Although the air conditioner in the hall was fully turned on, it was too fat to work at all. It's just that the sweat can't stop flowing down when you move around.

He came here today to buy some antiques. Of course, he didn't collect them himself, but gave them away. Because he didn't understand antiques, he didn't buy them in antique shops. It is reassuring.

However, because he came late, other seats had already been taken by people when he arrived. Li You could only walk towards the empty place, and sat down immediately when he saw an empty seat. Never stand, never sit when you can lie down, this is Li You's principle.

As soon as Li You sat down, Fang Ming sat down next to him. Time was running out, so Fang Ming didn't make any more detours, but said directly: "My name is Fang Ming, what do you call this boss? An antique dealer? "

Li You was not surprised that Fang Ming was so straightforward, he shook his head and said, "Li You, Muzi Li, Youqingyou, I don't know anything about antiques, I just came here to buy two as gifts."

"Oh? How did you get the invitation here?"

Fang Ming was surprised when he heard that, the invitation letter sent by Lu Yao must be only sent to those who are rich and like to collect antiques, but the fat man in front of him said that he didn't understand antiques, so he definitely wouldn't be on Lu Yao's list superior.

Besides, if you are an antique player, you should have a little reaction when you hear that you are introduced as Fang Ming - you are a celebrity now.

"Hey, I bought it for 3 yuan."

Li You waved his hand and said proudly: "I brought a few people who deal in antiques to see them before, and they said that the antiques in this auction are basically good things, so I tried to find a way to buy them from other people's hands. I bought this invitation here."

"Oh... so valuable?"

Fang Ming did not expect the invitation to be so valuable.

"Yes."

Li You pointed to the antiques on the shelves around him, and said, "This auction is organized by a new auction company. Not many people were interested in it, but it's good that the things here can't be held. , so slowly many people wanted to come. However, only a dozen or twenty invitation letters were issued here, so they were fired. It is considered capable to spend 3 yuan to get an invitation letter gone."

Fang Ming knew that Lu Yao's plan had succeeded as soon as he heard it.Antiques are not Chinese cabbage, especially in the form of auction, coupled with the high-end route to be taken, such a way of limiting the number of places will suddenly create "scarcity".Do you want to come?If you think about it, you may not be able to come. Anyway, there are only a few places, and I will not accept them if they are exceeded. If you want to come, you can find a way to go.

Of course, this method is not something that can be played casually. Don't just play around if no one comes to the final auction, it will be a joke.

Lu Yao's cleverness lies in the fact that she fully warmed up before the official auction, allowing many people to come and see these antiques, and these antiques are indeed good things.

There are still a lot of people who know the goods in this world, so the news spread quickly, and there are more people who want to buy, so the limited invitation letter has formed a situation of "one ticket is hard to find".

Looking at the two islanders not far away from him, and Bright and others in the distance, Fang Ming wondered if they also paid 3 yuan to get the invitation letter?
However, Fang Ming immediately realized that this is not the time to think about this issue, so he turned his eyes away, looked at Li You, and said with a smile: "You don't understand antiques, so you're afraid of buying them alone? You don't want to bring an expert. palm eye?"

"Hey, don't bother, I can just look at it myself, and if it can be put up for auction, it must be true, there is nothing good about it."

When Fang Ming heard it, he was a little dumbfounded, thinking that there is no such thing as saying that the auction must be true?However, when he came here just now, he still had a headache and how to persuade the other party, but now he finds out that he is a real rookie, so it is easy to fool.

"Who said that? The auction items may also be fake."

Li You was taken aback, and said, "Ah? Isn't it? Didn't it all have been appraised when it was put up for auction?"

"Ah."

Fang Ming laughed and shook his head, "The appraisal has been done, but first, the people from the auction company may also make holes in the appraisal—oh, yes, it means that you have to make mistakes; there is another situation that is The things that are auctioned in the auction company are not necessarily the prices they set."

"Ah! Is there still such a situation?"

Fang Ming nodded emphatically, and said, "Of course! The antiques in this auction may not all belong to the auction company. It is very likely that some or most of them were commissioned by others. The person who commissioned the auction can After setting the price by yourself, it will be auctioned by the auction company. If it is successful, the auction company will charge a certain handling fee. Think about it, if this is the case, how can it be true?"

Although Li You didn't understand antiques, he understood Fang Ming's explanation right away, but after he understood it, he became anxious and said, "What should I do? What if I spend money and buy it?" What about the fake one? I took it as a gift, and if someone finds out it’s fake, I’ll be too hungry to walk around.”

Because he was fat, Li You was prone to sweating, but now that he was in a hurry, the sweat gushed out like spring water.He originally thought that all the antiques to be auctioned were authenticated and absolutely genuine, so he would just go to the one with the higher starting price, so he didn't invite an expert to come, and now Fang Ming said that it was an auction It might be fake, and I suddenly panicked, even if I wanted to find an expert, it was too late.

It’s okay if you buy it just to play with yourself, but the problem is that you want to give it to someone, and that person is very powerful, and he is also a master of antiques. If you take a fake one and give it to the other party, then Even if he is not dead, he will be embarrassed to death.

"Isn't it enough to find an expert?"

Li You was angry and anxious, and said, "The auction will start soon, how can there be time?"

"It's too late!"

Fang Ming pointed to his nose and said, "I'm an expert, just ask me to help you with palm eyes."

"Ah You?"

Li You was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes, which were a little hard to see because of his fatness, suddenly widened, as if they were small lanterns. After a long while, he said: "You have been talking about it for a long time, so you are trying to sell you. ?”

Fang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm an expert in identification. If you follow what I say, you will definitely be able to buy good things."

Shaking his head fiercely, Li You said, "This... I didn't know you at all before, how could I know your skills?"

Li You didn't believe Fang Ming at all. In his opinion, Fang Ming was really too young. As the saying goes, he can't do things well without a hair on his lips. He was talking about Fang Ming's age.Besides, which one of those he had contacted before was not five or sixty years old?

"What? You don't even believe in my ability?"

When Fang Ming heard it, he couldn't help calling out.But then I understood what was going on, and I couldn't help but be amused. If anyone is playing with antiques, even an enthusiast should have heard of his name--I must beg my grandpa and grandma to help me identify it. But the problem is that the Li You in front of him doesn't usually play with antiques at all, he is not from the same way, and he doesn't know himself at all.

"I... am very famous in the collection circle of Ningdong City."

When Fang Ming said this, he found that he lacked confidence like never before. He was indeed famous, which was a fact, but Li You didn't know him, so what he said was useless.

Sure enough, Li You shook his chubby head and said, "No, I can't listen to you about this."

Seeing Li You like this, Fang Ming felt an urge to punch Li You directly on the head—of course, it was impossible for him to do so.

"Fang Ming, what are you doing?"

Just when Fang Ming felt that there was nothing he could do, a familiar voice came from behind him. Looking back, he saw Sikong Zhe coming. There was a man in his fifties standing beside him. But when I looked again, I found that there was a sense of elegance on the other party's body, and I knew that he was definitely not a simple person.

"Hey, it's okay, it's fine if you come."

Fang Ming looked at the person standing next to Sikong Zhe, whom he had never met before, and immediately made an idea on the other person - let him come forward and take pictures of the two pieces of porcelain.

Si Kongzhe confused Fang Ming's words, and said incomprehensibly, "Ah? Fang Ming, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"

Fang Ming didn't answer Sikong Zhe's question right away, but pulled him aside, and then said in a low voice, "I need you to help me take pictures of two pieces of porcelain!"
