Chapter 928 Discussion
Fang Ming followed Lu Yao to her office. It was obvious that Lu Yao had no habit of drinking tea, and the tea sets she saw at Guxuanzhai's place could not be seen here at all.

"I don't have the tea you like here."

Lu Yao said, and brought Fang Ming a bottle of mineral water.

After receiving it, Fang Ming sat down on the sofa and said with a smile: "Is it true that those of you who have lived abroad for many years or have worked in foreign companies are like this? The pace of work is too fast, so even if you Is it the mineral water that you have to pay attention to when drinking saliva?"

Lu Yao froze for a moment, then shook her head, and said, "I don't know if it's the reason, anyway, I seem to be more used to drinking mineral water... The convenience you mentioned may be one of the very important reasons."

Fang Ming nodded lightly, thought for a while, and found that he didn't seem to have anything special to say, so he simply said directly: "The thing is like this, I plan to go abroad recently, the main purpose is to collect some things, especially It is something that our Huaxia has lost, but I am not very familiar with the foreign environment and things. I thought about it and saw if you can arrange it here, and then go out with me. "

Lu Yao's eyes lit up, the lost things that Fang Ming said naturally meant the lost antiques and artworks.

In the last century, due to various reasons, the number of antique works of art lost by the country was very large. Lu Yao's foreign auction company was very clear about this situation. At that time, every time she saw such a situation , I feel distressed, but there is nothing I can do.

Now that she heard that Fang Ming had such a plan, how could she be unhappy?
"Here in Dongcheng Street, can you walk away?"

Lu Yao is very clear about the importance of Fang Ming to Dongcheng Street, and although he doesn't care about other things in Dongcheng Street, he only cares about the auction company, after all, he is a core member, and he knows a lot about the many plans that Dongcheng Street is currently working on. approximately.

Therefore, in her opinion, Fang Ming seemed to be unable to leave.

"I have already discussed this matter with Song Miao and Sikong Zhe before, and there is no problem."

As soon as Lu Yao heard Fang Ming say this, she knew that since he said yes, it must be possible.

"Then when do you want to leave?"

Fang Ming immediately said, "Of course, the sooner the better."

"Oh? Any plans?"

Lu Yao is also a smart person. As soon as she heard it, she knew that Fang Ming must have already made a plan, so she said this - the reason why she wanted to go out earlier was definitely because she wanted to have more time to implement her plan .

"Two plans, one is an auction, we're going to some auctions."

Lu Yao nodded. She is in the auction industry. Recently, several large auction companies will hold auctions. It is not surprising that Fang Ming has such a plan, and there are often losses of Huaxia in these auctions. For the antiques outside, Fang Ming is planning to start with the auction to see if he can get some things.This is of course a good plan. In recent years, some large foreign auction companies have actually had a plan to use Chinese people to buy back some antiques that have been lost abroad. There will be such antiques.

Fang Ming wanted to use this method to buy some antiques back. This is actually the simplest and most effective way. However, there is actually a problem with this method, that is, the antiques that appear at the auction are not real. It’s fine if it’s not a boutique, and more importantly, the price of such antiques at auction is often very high—even frighteningly high, because the auction company took advantage of the psychology of the Chinese people.

Having worked in foreign auction companies for many years, Lu Yao is naturally very clear about that.

"Fang Ming, this is a way, but it's not a good way. The really good antiques lost in our country are all in the hands of some private collectors, and they won't be willing to take them out, even if they are No matter how much money we pay, it’s impossible.”

Fang Ming nodded lightly. He had already thought of the situation Lu Yao said before.

"So, we are going to carry out another plan, and this plan may be more important, and it is precisely because of such a plan that I thought of going abroad earlier. My Ten Dharma Realms are like this, I just go to pick up the leaks first Of course, the object of picking up leaks is those foreign works of art. As long as we can find foreign art treasures, we can naturally exchange what we want from them. After all, no matter how good things are, it is not their tradition. Works of art, if we have their precious traditional works of art in our hands, they will definitely be willing to exchange them."

When talking about going abroad with Sikong Zhe and Song Miao before, Fang Ming didn't go into details. This was mainly because neither Song Miao nor Sikong Zhe were real professionals. Now Lu Yao is different. He is very familiar with the situation in foreign countries, especially the auction art, so Fang Ming thought about expressing some of his thoughts carefully and listening to Lu Yao's opinion, which is a very important thing.

"I think there are antique shops like ours in foreign countries, right? As long as there are such places, that's where I can play a role."

Fang Ming paused for a while, and then said to Lu Yao: "Lu Yao, you know, I've always been good at picking up leaks, as long as there are leaks, I will definitely be able to pick them up!"

Of course, there are "antique" shops of the same nature in foreign countries as in China, and because foreign artworks mainly exist in the form of oil paintings, drawings or sculptures, their so-called antique shops appear more in the form of galleries.Such places are generally used to display and sell various works of art.

Of course, there are other shops too.

Lu Yao is naturally very clear about these situations.

In fact, because she has worked in foreign auction houses for many years, Lu Yao is very clear about these situations in foreign countries. She even has the addresses and contact methods of most of the galleries abroad. She is very clear about other places that sell art, even some less visible places.

These are not problems, the important thing is that Fang Ming said a word, that is, his ability to pick up mistakes!

"You mean to say that you also have a deep research on foreign artworks?"

Fang Ming's ability to pick up leaks is already very famous in foreign circles. However, in Lu Yao's view, his ability is mainly reflected in traditional Chinese artworks. In other words, there is also in-depth research on foreign artworks. If this is the case, then this matter is definitely something to do.

"Ha! Of course!"

Fang Ming nodded heavily, and said, "I just said that as long as there is a leak, I can pick it up. There is no doubt about it. If it is not like this, then how can I have the confidence to go abroad to carry out such a plan?"

The collection of antiques is extensive and profound. Since entering the industry, Fang Ming has actually devoted his greatest energy to the study of traditional antiques. It is only for the purpose of going abroad that he has recently devoted his energy to foreign art. However, foreign artworks have a long history and are not so easy to study.

However, this is definitely not a problem for Fang Ming, because Pixiu's ability has already proved that he also has a "feel" for foreign artworks, so it is not a problem to use it to pick up leaks.

It was precisely because of this that Fang Ming was so confident.

Lu Yao's eyes lit up immediately, she knew Fang Ming very well, she knew that since she said that, it meant that she must be sure.

As a person who used to work in a foreign auction company and has a strong patriotism, the reason why Lu Yao left the foreign auction company and came back to start her own company, besides her own ideals in life, actually also has a goal, that is, if one day she has If you have the ability, then try to get back those lost antiques and artworks as much as possible.

However, she deeply knows how difficult it is to achieve this.However, if Fang Ming really has such ability, then this matter will be very easy to operate - at least very maneuverable.

What Fang Ming said is not wrong at all. If they can find the art treasures of Western countries and exchange them, then they will definitely exchange them, because no matter how good they are, they are not as good as their own, right?
Like the domestic antique market, there are also identification problems in the foreign art market, so the market is also full of various loopholes.If you have eyesight, you will naturally be able to pick up the leak.

"Fang Ming, if you can pick up the leaks abroad, then we are sure to bring back a considerable part of the lost antiques. When I used to work in foreign auction companies, I was not sure about some information, such as where some important antiques are. It is quite clear in a person's hands, so as long as you can find important antiques in their history abroad, then everything will not be a problem. I will find those people and have a good talk with them .”

A satisfied smile appeared on Fang Ming's face. This kind of information is very important. In fact, this is what he hopes Lu Yao can have. Now it seems that he has chosen the right one.

Lu Yao is indeed a very suitable helper!

"No problem, don't worry about this, there is no problem at all! I will take care of it."

Lu Yao nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, since this is the case, we are going to go abroad right away. Give me a day, and I will take care of things here, and then we can go."
