Chapter 934 Confrontation
It took Fang Ming a little long, about an hour to finish reading the dozen or so oil paintings in the gallery.

"How about it?"

When Lu Yao saw Fang Ming came back, she immediately opened her mouth. In fact, you don't need to ask her to know that the oil paintings here are very ordinary. She said this just to cooperate with the "performance". You have to play the role of middleman.

Deng Li didn't speak either, she just stood there. As for Zhao Zhuzi, he stood behind Deng Li and didn't make a sound.

"You tell him."

Fang Ming shook his head, pointed at Tom, and continued, "If there are all things of this level here, then we don't need to waste any more time here."

After listening to Lu Yao's translation, Tom immediately waved his hands and shouted, "The things I have here are all good things, don't you take a closer look?"

Fang Ming glanced at Tom. How dare he show off such a trick in front of him?He didn't say anything more, and told Tom his attitude directly with his actions—turned around and walked out.

"This... this gentleman, don't go, the things here are not eye-catching, we have other things."

Of course, Fang Ming didn't really want to leave. He knew that since Lu Yao brought him here, it meant that she thought that Tom in front of him might have something good in his hands. The reason why he pretended to be leaving was to give The other party exerted pressure and asked the other party to take out the good things, so when he heard Tom speak for a while, he naturally stopped.

Turning around, Fang Ming looked at Tom, and then said word by word: "If you have something good, take it out, if not, there is no need to waste time, we have to go somewhere else."

Fang Ming's tone was very tough, and Tom could hear it naturally, so a hesitant look appeared on his face. After a while, he looked at Lu Yao again, only to find that Lu Yao's face looked like you could do it yourself. Then fell silent again.

Seeing Tom like this, Fang Ming knew that he had to put more pressure on him, so he said, "Okay, it seems that you don't have any good things here, let's go."

If there is a disagreement, he will leave immediately. Now that he is the buyer, Fang Ming knows that for someone like Tom, if he really has something in his hands, and with Lu Yao around, there is no question of trust. Then he is naturally the uncle. As long as he exerts enough pressure, Tom will definitely compromise. Outside of such a situation, even if his behavior is a little too much, there is no problem.

Although Fang Ming is young, he has long been proficient in this set of "tricks", so he naturally handles them with ease.

"Okay, let's talk inside then."

Seeing Fang Ming like this, Tom knew that if he still insisted on his original opinion, Fang Ming would really leave, so he could only say this sentence.

Fang Ming nodded lightly. He knew that what he said just now had initially put pressure on Tom.

Walking behind Tom, there is a special reception room on the second floor of the gallery. After Fang Ming and others sat down, Tom first poured a cup of coffee for everyone, and finally sat down by himself.

"You really don't think about those paintings outside at all? I admit that those are painted by some unknown oil painters, but you know that there are some oil paintings, although they don't pay now, but it is possible in the future Valuable, for example, Van Gogh, you all know that his paintings and paintings were basically worthless when he was alive, but after his death, until now, his paintings are very expensive, so in my opinion, outside His paintings are also valuable for collection.”

Tom didn't give up right away, but continued to sell.

Tom is indeed right. Van Gogh, whose full name is Vincent William Van Gogh, is a Dutch post-impressionist painter.His paintings are the pioneers of expressionism, with high artistic achievements, and later deeply influenced Western art in the 21st century. From this point of view, no matter how high we can evaluate him, for example, Later Fauvism and Expressionism were deeply influenced by him.His paintings of "Starry Night", "Sunflower" and "Wheat Field with Crows" have all become the most famous works of art in the world, and the price, of course, goes without saying.For example, on November 1987, 11, one of his "Irises" sold for $11 million, and in 5390, one of his sunflowers sold for $1987 million. In 3950, One of his self-portraits without a beard even sold for $1998 million!
If these paintings were put up for auction now, the price would be unimaginable.

"Ah."

Fang Ming smiled. Although he had put some pressure on Tom before, he also knew that this matter would not go so smoothly, so it was not surprising that Tom said such words now.

"First, what you said is indeed a fact. However, not all oil paintings by unknown painters are worth collecting. Those worth collecting must be mature in technique and have certain characteristics, especially those that are There are oil paintings that create a new style of painting. Such oil paintings are valuable for collection because they have the significance of opening up the era. As time goes by, once such paintings are recognized by mainstream art critics, there will be Maybe the value has soared. Van Gogh’s paintings belong to this kind. From this aspect, there are no such paintings in your gallery. All I see are paintings that have already appeared. In other words, such paintings are just imitations, and the painters are also very unknown, so there is no value for collection.”

"Second, even if the oil paintings of unknown oil painters are valuable for collection, there must be at least one thing, that is, they must be relatively old. This is like an antique in our place. The paintings you hang outside are all The most recent ones and the oldest ones are less than ten years old, so what is the value of collection?"

Fang Ming knew that if he wanted Tom to take out the good things in his hands, he had to show his strength, that is to say, he had to show that he was an expert, otherwise, the other party would feel that he was an expert. People who have no eyesight, in that case, even if they take out things, it will not be much better, because Tom must have the mentality of wanting to fool himself.

On this point, there is no difference between domestic and foreign countries.

Therefore, when Fang Ming spoke now, he did not save any face for Tom, but slapped him in the face severely. He knew that the harder he slapped him, the more he would be valued by the other party.

Tom's face turned red and white, he couldn't speak, because what Fang Ming said was not wrong at all, it was the truth.

Not all oil paintings are valuable for collection—for those oil paintings that are not well-known and relatively cheap, as Fang Ming said, one has characteristics and the other has history, or else it is still worth buying. Really not much collection value.

The paintings in his gallery, Tom naturally understands what is going on, they are all painted by some very unsatisfactory and uninspiring painters, if such paintings can be sold for a little money, it is still possible, but if When it comes to the value of the collection, there is really nothing.

Tom originally thought that Fang Ming came from a country that was not familiar with oil paintings, so he made a fool of himself, but he didn't expect Fang Ming to "reprove" him mercilessly, and more importantly, he really The thing is that there is no way to refute it.

"Oh, this... this..."

Tom has been doing this for a long time, but still can't find out why.

Seeing Tom like this, Fang Ming did not give up his "attack", but continued to say: "I still say what I said just now, if there are good things, then take them out, if not, then there is no need for us to stay here again." It's a waste of time, isn't it necessary? Well, Tom, you think about it."

Deng Li has not spoken, but has been observing Fang Ming.To be honest, she didn't expect Fang Ming to be so tough!However, she also found that Fang Ming's actions were very effective, because Tom's reaction at this time just explained the problem.

There was a layer of sweat on Tom's forehead. He really had never dealt with such a direct person as Fang Ming. People who came to buy things from him before, including Lu Yao, let alone Treat it as an uncle, at least it is a relatively peaceful communication, why?Don't you just want to take out the good things yourself?
However, Fang Ming in front of him was different, his attitude was very tough!
It's clearly a picture that if you want to sell, you can quickly take it out, or forget it.

Without any psychological preparation at all, he found that he really couldn't react for a while.

Lu Yao secretly gave a thumbs up in her heart.

Tom is an old Jianghu, and it was very difficult for me to deal with him in the past. I had to try my best to satisfy the other party, including making concessions on the price, etc., before the other party took out what was on hand— — There is no way to do this. You must know that in the circle, this Tom actually has some reputation, and he does have some good things in his hands, so if you want to get his good things, you can only make concessions.

However, now Fang Ming used another method to deal with the opponent with a tough attitude. However, it seems that the effect of this method is very good!
Fang Ming is indeed a master!

Lu Yao sighed in her heart.
