Chapter 494 New Strategies

Xu Ming nodded and said, "It does make sense, it seems that I can only give up this bottle."

The purpose of Xu Ming's coming here is this black-flowered peony vase, and now that Fang Ming said it, there is really no need to keep it.

"Oh, let Fang Ming say this, it seems that I have to seriously consider it in the future. In addition to buying new antiques carefully, I can also consider selling some existing antiques. After all, as Fang Ming said As mentioned above, although some antiques are good, there is actually little room for appreciation. It is better to use the money to buy some good antiques that are worth handing down after the sale.”

When Fang Ming was talking just now, Si Kongzhe was also thinking. He found that he also had a lot of antiques that looked good on the surface, but in fact there was not much room for appreciation - there was no need to keep them in his hands.

"By the way, Mr. Fang Ming, which antiques do you think are worth collecting in today's auction?"

Since there was no need to bid for the black-flowered peony vase that he was interested in, Xu Ming felt that he couldn't make the trip in vain, not to mention that a master like Fang Ming was sitting beside him at this time, so he didn't ask him. It would be a waste of opinion.

"The antiques auctioned this time are actually good things, but the two pieces of porcelain I just mentioned are the most worthwhile auctions."

"Okay! I'll take pictures of them in a while."

Xu Ming didn't doubt Fang Ming's vision at all. Since he emphasized repeatedly, it must be a good thing.

Not long after Fang Ming and the others sat down, the auction officially started. The lights in the hall slowly dimmed, and only the small stage in the front was lit. Lu Yao, who was always dressed in a dignified professional suit, walked away slowly. come up.

"Everyone!"

Lu Yao glanced around, which can make everyone feel as if they are looking at him. This is also a skill, which she has already mastered in other auction companies a few years ago.

"Tonight is the first art auction organized by our Daedeok company. Although I know that everyone hopes that the auction will start quickly, because everyone can't wait to buy the antiques they fancy, but before we start, I would like to explain One problem, which is also a great piece of good news, is that the starting price of two pieces of art auctioned tonight, including all kinds of antiques, is far lower than their true value. As for which two pieces, Then it depends on everyone's eyesight. This is a gift prepared by our Daedeok Company for everyone. I hope you keep your eyes open and bid for those two antiques. Of course, after the auction is over, we will announce the identity of these two antiques. Which two. Then, we will invite a master appraisal expert to explain the appraisal..."

"F!"

When Brett heard such words, he couldn't help cursing fiercely. If there were no other people around, he would definitely have yelled, and Abigail beside him also had a gloomy expression.

Just now, in order to trouble Lu Yao, they wandered around those antiques like two hungry dogs to see if there were any loopholes to take advantage of. In the end, they really found out that the value of the two antiques was seriously underestimated. , After discovering this problem, they were ecstatic, and they were thinking about how to use this to fix it for a while.

How could I have imagined that I would hear such words?You must know that as soon as you say such a thing, your plan will disappear immediately: punching eyes?No, this is definitely not a punch, it's just a surprise specially arranged by our auction company!
Brett looked at Abigail and said, "This...it seems that our plan has failed."

"Yes, but we can do it another way."

Abigail rolled her eyes and immediately thought of another way.

"Oh? In what way?"

Brett scratched his well-manicured beard, seeing the cooked duck fly away, he was depressed.

"We can buy those two pieces of porcelain. If we snatch the arranged gift away, he will definitely be mad at him."

Brett froze for a moment, but immediately understood what Abigail meant, a smile appeared on his face, he nodded one after another, and said, "That's right! That's true! Those two pieces of porcelain are pretty good things, but Lu Yao put The price is set at such a low level, and more importantly, those two antiques cannot be seen by anyone who is not a real veteran, so there should not be many people who can see it... Heh, from the edge of the table of the two pieces of porcelain, it is impossible to tell. It can be seen without anyone sitting, we do have a chance."

"That's right!"

There was also a weird smile on Abigail's face, "After we take down those two pieces of porcelain, we'll go find Lu Yao. I can't wait to see Lu Yao's pale face."

"Fang Ming, I have to say that the idea you came up with is very reliable."

Sikong Zhe laughed. Fang Ming had already told what happened before, but he still felt a little sincere admiration when he heard it at this moment.

"It's a dead sheep, it has to be like this."

As he said this, Fang Ming's heart did not relax at all. When Lu Yao was talking on the stage just now, his attention was all on the people around him - he wanted to see how many people went to the two sides. Porcelain look.

There were not many people watching, only four, two of them were from the island country, and the other two were Abigail and Wright.

The people from the island country came to look at the two pieces of porcelain before. Fang Ming already knew that they wanted to buy the two pieces of porcelain. unexpected.

"This is not a good thing."

Fang Ming thought silently, the mistake made by the appraiser hired by Lu Yao seems to be getting more and more serious now.

Si Kongzhe noticed Fang Ming's expression, he knew Fang Ming very well, and knew that this was definitely not a good thing.

"Fang Ming... what's wrong? What happened again?"

"Ugh!"

Fang Ming sighed softly, pointed to the two pieces of porcelain not far away, and said: "The two people from the island country are not the only ones who saw that it was a good thing, those two ghosts also saw it. From the look in their eyes, nine times out of ten they also want to make a move."

"Oh? What happened?"

Xu Ming bowed his body, looked forward, and found Abigail and Brett. There were not many people at the scene, and there were only two foreigners from Europe. In addition, they were taller than ordinary people. , very conspicuous.

"The final transaction price is likely to exceed our imagination."

Fang Ming knew that his guess was likely to come out. People from the island country plus Abigail, and of course, his own side, there were already three parties who would participate in the auction, and they all saw that the two The true value of the piece of porcelain.

The most frightening thing is that once the three-party auction starts, more people may participate: everyone is not a fool, and once they see how many people are competing, they must know that it is a good thing, and they are very likely to participate.

"What is our strategy?"

When Xu Ming heard Fang Ming say this, instead of being afraid, he became excited.

"Yes, Fang Ming, you should come up with a strategy. Both Xu Ming and I can get some money."

Hearing what Sikong Zhe said, Fang Ming laughed, shook his head lightly, and said, "Are you slapping someone in the face? Anyone who can pick up tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people is ashamed to say, 'Take it! Come up with a little'?"

"Ha! Fang Ming, it's not natural for you to say that. Now my wealth is not as good as yours."

Sikong Zhe's words directly made Fang Ming roll his eyes. He picked up a lot of mistakes and made a lot of money, but if his net worth is more than that of Sikong Zhe, this is absolutely impossible. Very smartly, Fang Ming Ming changed the subject: "These two pieces of porcelain are not bad, but they are not rare, so we just mix up the water."

The reason why I asked someone to take pictures of these two pieces of porcelain was that I didn’t want foreigners from the island country to buy them at a relatively low price, but the situation is different now. At least three groups of people have participated in the auction. Or it doesn't matter if Abigail buys these two pieces of porcelain - after all, although this piece of porcelain is good, it's not as good as it can be found or better than them.

Sikong Zhe and Xu Ming are both smart people, they immediately understood what Fang Ming meant.

"Ha! No problem, price gouging, this is our specialty."

Xu Ming laughed. Both he and Sikong Zhe were involved in securities and stocks, so they had unique knowledge on how to manipulate prices, so naturally they dared to do everything.

"That's right, we can't compare to you in appraising antiques, but when it comes to this, it's our specialty."

Sikong Zhe also showed an excited expression on his face, "It seems that I have come to the right place tonight, there is something interesting to do."

Fang Ming also thought of this, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Lu Yao just said a few words at the beginning of the auction, and then went down, followed by the auctioneer. Under his auspices, the auction was going on in an orderly manner, and the prices placed for the auction were not too high. , the lowest price was the starting price of 10 yuan, but they were all successfully sold in the end. The highest price was 80 yuan, and the starting price was 15 yuan, which is not bad.

After Lu Yao stepped down, she didn't leave, nor did she go to Fang Ming's place. At this moment, she focused all her attention on the auction, seeing that every piece of antiques put up for auction was successfully sold, although the price was not too high. , but it was definitely a good start, so her heart that had been hanging high slowly let go.

However, her heart quickly rose again, because it was one of the two pieces of porcelain that Fang Ming had mentioned that was going to be auctioned at this time!
