Chapter 500 Pretend to be crazy
In a quiet corner, Abigail was already sitting there. There was a box on the table in front of him. Don’t think that it must be the red begonia flower bowl in glaze. Of course, in order to get this bowl , paid a sky-high price of 1850 million.

Seeing Abigail's face when he found out that the woman had been stolen, Fang Ming felt very happy in his heart. It's just that it's okay to be secretly happy about such things. There's no need to say it out, because it won't be that fun to say it out.

"Well... I have a question I want to ask."

Seeing Fang Ming, Abigail almost burst into anger in her eyes, but she managed to suppress it.

Fang Ming, the natural section chief, why did the other party look at him like this, but pretended not to understand at any time, and said a little strangely: "Oh? I don't know what's wrong? As long as I know, I will naturally know everything, I can't say enough, I can guarantee this. By the way, but before that, I have to congratulate you, this red begonia flower bowl in glaze is a good thing, and you can't find such a good thing in the leisure time. I have been in this industry for a while, and I have never encountered such a good one. If I didn’t have money in my pocket, I would have bought it.”

Get cheap and sell well!This is Fang Ming's so-called being good-looking when he got a cheap price, or pretending to be crazy and stupid. Fang Ming simply pretends that he doesn't know anything, but if he asks, it can kill people's anger.

Abigail felt a sullen breath rise from the bottom of her heart, and then rushed straight to her head, her eyes widened instantly, she stared at Fang Ming firmly, and then stood up.

Fang Ming looked at Abigail, but there was no expression on his face.

Do you still want to fight with yourself?Although this Abigail is tall and big, he is also very strong. If there is a fight, he can be knocked down in two or three strokes-other than that, what else can the other party do to him?
Therefore, Fang Ming sat very calmly, he wanted to see what the other party could do to him.

Brett teased Abigail. It's not easy to turn against Civilization at this time, and it really has nothing to do with Fang Ming.

Naturally, Abigail knew that it was unreasonable for her to lose her temper with Fang Ming. She took a few breaths and managed to calm herself down, but she still said angrily, "I have a question, that is, the end of this glazed red crabapple flower bowl. How much is it worth?"

"what?"

Fang Ming showed a surprised expression on his face, and said: "I heard from Lu Yao that you are also from the auction company, so you should know how to appraise it, right? Even if you don't know, then you have asked experts to appraise this glaze before participating in the auction." Is it the red begonia flower bowl? You should know its value in your heart, why are you asking me at this time?"

"you"

Depressed, Abigail is very depressed now, Fang Ming's attitude really makes it impossible for him to do anything, it's clear that he pushes it cleanly, and doesn't take what he said at all.What was even more frustrating was that he had nothing to do with Fang Ming.

So, he was absolutely depressed enough to vomit blood.

Seeing such a situation, Brett sighed inwardly, knowing that Fang Ming would not care about this matter at all, nor would he talk to him about it. The important thing is that what Fang Ming said was not wrong at all, that's how things are. The auction is my own business, and I have to figure out how much it is worth before the auction starts.It's all right now, after the auction is over, I will ask Fang Ming to ask, no matter from which point of view, it is meaningless.

What's the matter with Guan Fangming?

It has nothing to do with Fang Ming.

"This...Mr. Fang Ming, it's like this. We have indeed authenticated this safflower bowl in glaze. But you also know that we are foreigners after all, and we are still inferior to you in authentication. So... we hope that you can identify it for us and give us a palm."

Brett knew that at this time, it would be useless to use the hard ones, so he came to the soft ones. The important thing is that he was also curious about the true value of the red begonia flower in glaze. Buying it at a sky-high price of 2000 million, of course I want to hear what the final result will be.

"Oh? You mean, you want me to verify the authenticity of this bowl for you?"

Fang Ming looked like I only realized it now, not to mention Abigail, even Brett himself had a surge of anger, but he suppressed it, nodded, and said : "Yes, there is nothing wrong, that's what it means."

Nodding his head lightly, Fang Ming said, "So that's what it means. You should have said it earlier. I understand. By the way, I don't know if you know that I opened an antique shop."

"Yes, we know, it's called Guxuanzhai, and it has become a gold-lettered signboard now."

Brett was very proud of himself for saying the words "golden lettered signboard". You must know that if you were not a China hand, you would never be able to say such words, but he didn't understand why Fang Ming suddenly mentioned He went to the top of his own shop, which really made him feel a little confused, but he still answered Fang Ming's question.

"Oh, it's good that you know that I have this store, but I think you still don't know enough about our store. In fact, our store now provides a service, which is the appraisal service. If you need this service, You can find a time to come to our store, and then I can give you an appraisal. I think you should have a satisfactory conclusion. Of course, our service is not free, but charged. I think you It should be understandable, after all, I am open for business, and I also have costs, at least... I want to eat."

Listening, Brett finally understood what Fang Ming meant: Ask me for an appraisal?No problem, just give me money, I won't work for nothing.

"Here... just to identify it, it doesn't need to be so complicated..."

Brett twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a forced smile.

"what!"

Fang Ming waved his right hand, and then said loudly: "What? Just for identification? Heh, Mr. Brett, you are also a professional in this field, yet you say such a thing! I really treat you too much. Disappointed! Appraisal is a technical job. Since I provide services in this area, I naturally have to charge and get a reasonable remuneration. What you say is not only insulting me, but also insulting my profession!"

Brett and Abigail looked at me and I looked at you, speechless for a moment.

What Fang Ming said was not wrong at all, things are just like this, there is nothing wrong with Fang Ming doing this, and it should be said that such an approach is absolutely reasonable and common in the appraisal industry.Not to mention that Fang Ming is very well-known in the field of appraisal now, how could he say that if he called for appraisal, he would just appraise it?It is normal to charge a fee, or to say, a "pencil".

In this sense, it is perfectly normal for Fang Ming to make this request. On the contrary, the two of them feel that this is abnormal, which is the real abnormality. Moreover, Fang Ming also said that Guxuanzhai has already provided such a request. Service, that is to say, it is a profitable project for Fang Ming, it is even more logical.

This is the first time I met Abigail and Fang Ming, so why should Fang Ming give me an appraisal for free?

"Then... I don't know how much Mr. Fang Ming's appraisal cost?"

Fang Ming showed a smile on his face, and said: "Mr. Bright, it's not expensive at all. My appraisal fee is 10% of the antique value. Of course, there is something special about your auctioned ones, that is Its auction price is used as the basis for the fee calculation, not the value I appraised. For example, the appraisal fee for the glazed red begonia flower bowl in your hand is 1850% of 10 million It’s not the price I’ve identified—for example, if I’ve identified it as 70, the fee is 7—this is wrong.”

"What? You want to charge 185 million for the identification of this broken bowl?"

Abigail yelled loudly, pointing at Fang Ming: "You charge such a fee, why don't you go and grab it."

Fang Ming's face darkened, he looked at Abigail coldly, and said, "Mr. Abigail, do I think yours is biased against me? First, this red crabapple flower bowl in glaze is You brought it back from the auction and spent 1850 million. How could it be broken? If it is a broken bowl, then you can only miss it. Second, if you think my fees are expensive, you don’t have to look for me Well, I didn’t force you to invite me. Our Guxuanzhai’s project of providing this service is a business. It belongs to one willing to fight and one willing to suffer, but I have never forced anyone; third, my fee Very expensive? To put it bluntly, the bowl in your hand, no matter how much it is really worth, as long as I say it is worth 1850 million, it is worth 1850 million! Do you believe it?"

Brett and Abigail fell silent again. Fang Ming's three points were all correct, especially the last point. According to what they learned, Fang Ming really had this idea. Ji Shi said something like this: They have investigated Fang Ming's situation before and naturally know that no matter what antiques are sold in Guxuanzhai, people who buy them will not bargain or bring others to appraise.

What is the reason?Naturally, it was because they all believed that the antiques sold in Guxuanzhai were real, and to put it bluntly, they believed in Fang Ming's vision!

Therefore, to put it to the extreme, even if Fang Ming said that a piece of shit is made of gold, others would believe it. This is strength. Fang Ming with such strength naturally dares to say such a thing!
