936--Chapter [-]
However, how could the solution be easily thought of?

Tom will be back soon, and Fang Ming hasn't thought of any solution yet, so he can only pull himself together temporarily, because he knows that the more this happens, the more cautious he must deal with it, or Tom will soon be gone. will find their own thoughts.

Fang Ming controlled his emotions very well, not to mention Tom, even Lu Yao and Deng Li who were sitting next to him didn't find anything wrong.

"Look at this, I just received this painting, and it's a really good thing."

After Tom sat down, he put a painting on the table. He didn't bring many paintings this time.

Nodding his head, Fang Ming didn't speak, but carefully looked at the painting that had been spread out. After looking at it for a while, Fang Ming frowned a little. His exposure to oil painting was too short. A picture is beyond the scope of his ability.

After thinking about it, Fang Ming lightly pressed his right hand on the painting.

This was a small gesture, and everyone, including Tom, didn't think it was a problem. Many people had the habit of appraising oil paintings, as if they wanted to touch them to make sure they were real.

Oil painting is painted with oil paint, that is to say, it is more difficult to wear than ordinary paintings under normal circumstances, so if you touch it lightly with your fingers, it will not damage the oil painting too much , so seeing Fang Ming like this, Tom himself didn't object.

Putting his hands away slowly, Fang Ming already knew the true value of the oil painting in front of him. In fact, the oil painting in front of him could not meet his requirements in terms of value—the value itself was If it is not high, there is no possibility of picking up leaks.

Thinking of this, Fang Ming just wanted to say no, but his eyes accidentally fell on the sketch that he pulled out and placed on the top. Suddenly, a solution appeared in his mind.

"How is it? What do you think of this painting?"

When Fang Ming was appraising oil paintings, Tom had been paying attention to Fang Ming's every move, especially the expressions on his face, but he was disappointed that Fang Ming's actions and expressions didn't give him too many hints, so he Right now, I don't have much certainty about what Fang Ming is thinking in his heart.

"This painting...is just average."

Fang Ming quickly perfected the idea that he just came up with in his mind, and he became more confident in his heart.

"This is an oil painting of an autumn wheat field. In terms of color, it is an expression of ideas. The bright colors are very moving, the composition is very rigorous, and the ink strokes have reached a considerable level. In terms of time, it exists. The time should be about 80-100 years. Under such a situation, this painting does have its value, but there is a problem, the author of this painting.”

When Fang Ming said this, he paused for a moment, then pointed to the signature in the lower left corner, shook his head, and said, "This person...has not left his name in your western art history, so I say What is certain is that this person was probably a painter who had a certain reputation in a small place but did not cause much influence at the time. Such oil paintings can be collected for a while, but they have no higher value."

Tom looked at Fang Ming with a shocked expression on his face.

Fang Ming was very correct.Expressionism and composition are not mentioned, because these can be seen by anyone who has received certain training in identification theory.He was really surprised in two places. One was Fang Ming's judgment on the time of the painting in front of him.

The painting in front of me is indeed between 80 and 100 years old in terms of time. However, the reason why Tom knew this was not because of identification, but because he found a special institution and used modern scientific means to make a picture. Measured out.

What is going on with this person in front of him?Can you tell how long the time is after just a few glances?In the western appraisal circle, only those with very rich experience can judge how long an oil painting has existed from the quality of the cloth and the degree of change of the oil paint!
From this point alone, Tom knew that he had underestimated the young man sitting in front of him.

Another problem is that Fang Ming knows that a person has no Western art history based on his name, and this requires a strong memory.

A famous person will definitely appear in the records of the materials you think about. If not, it can only prove that no matter how good the painting is, it is useless.

Among hundreds of thousands of histories, how many artists (oil painters) have appeared in the entire art history that will be recorded?This Tom himself can't remember clearly. After he got such an oil painting, he deliberately checked a lot of information, and found that the name left on the painting near him is really true in the relevant information of art history. Unfortunately, no corresponding person can be found.

Therefore, the only possibility is the person who painted the painting in front of him. Just as Fang Ming said, this is a painter who lives in a small place. Although the painting is good, if it is of great value, That's impossible.

Generally speaking, the painting in front of me has certain value, but not much value. It can be said to be a good painting, but it is not at the level of collection.

"I think... this painting can indeed be bought. Ms. Deng, isn't your villa newly renovated? Or else, I think it's better to buy this oil painting and use it for decoration. Hanging at the corner of the stairs, I think it's okay."

When Tom heard it, he felt a little vomiting blood. The oil painting in front of him turned out to be just a decoration?
However, he didn't know how to refute Fang Ming's words. After all, what Fang Ming said before was correct.It's okay to fool you, but it can only fool those who don't have much experience. Facing a veteran like Fang Ming, Tom found that he really had no other options.

This time, of course, she came out to find a collection-level oil painting, so Deng Li didn't know why Fang Ming proposed to let herself buy such an oil painting, but she was a smart person, and she knew that since Fang Ming said so, then He must have his own reasons, and he will do what he says.

Newly renovated villa?

There are villas themselves, and there are more than one, but there must be no newly renovated ones.

At this moment, Lu Yao's heart jumped up. At the beginning, she didn't understand why Fang Ming took down such an oil painting, but she was a member of the circle after all, so she quickly got over it. It's come back to God.

Pick up leaks?

Is Fang Ming going to pick it up?

But where is this leak?
Lu Yao is different from Deng Li. Because of her work, although she can't be said to be a master of identification, she has never eaten pork and seen pigs running. The oil painting in front of her is indeed what Fang Ming said. It didn't reach the level of collection, but...Since this is the case, why did Fang Ming ask Deng Li to buy it?
Although she couldn't figure out why Fang Ming did this, she and Deng Li had the same thought, that is, since she couldn't figure it out, then keep silent, and her current identity is a middleman, so it's normal not to make a sound up.

"Okay, you decide. This painting is relatively similar to the decoration style of my villa. You can think about it. As long as you think it's okay, then there's no problem."

Fang Ming nodded lightly, then looked at Tom, and said, "How much do you want for this painting? Let me tell you first, you and I know exactly what this painting is like, so don't If you charge too high a price, it will be difficult to negotiate, we are all discerning people, there is no need to make a fuss about this matter."

Tom was depressed for a while again, thinking that this would make people live, and if he wanted this oil painting, wouldn't he let himself ask for a high price?

However, he is an old man after all, although what Fang Ming said made him very depressed, and he also said not to charge a high price, but he didn't care about these, and said directly: "100 million, US dollars."

"Snapped!"

Fang Ming let go of his hand, the oil painting was held in his hand, and immediately fell on the table after this loosening.

This suddenly startled Tom, and there was a hint of doubt in Fang Ming's eyes.

"One million US dollars? If you insist on such a price, then we can't talk about it today."

Fang Ming's face was full of seriousness, but his heart was very calm. Tom was asking for a lot of money. He had seen too many such things.

There was an unnatural expression on Tom's face. Fang Ming's words were too strong, which made him feel very difficult, because Fang Ming was different from the people he had been in contact with before. When asking the price, even if those people feel that their asking price is too high, they are negotiating in a friendly manner. After all, this is just an asking price of their own. Even a fool knows that there must be room for bargaining. Now it’s okay. The person in front of him directly pushed him with a single sentence, which made him very uncomfortable.

Shaking his head slightly, Tom subconsciously looked at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao couldn't help showing a smile on her face. She understood what Tom meant by saying how she brought him such a difficult person, and he was the one who didn't play according to the rules.

Tom, Fang Ming's unreasonable way has been tossed a little bit!

"This... Tom is just an offer. If you're interested, I think it's better to pay another price. I think the two sides can reach an agreement even though they have differences."
