Chapter 945 Fang Ming is in Control of the Situation

Seeing Fang Ming like this, Lu Yao couldn't help being happy.

Deng Li did go out before, but she has come back, and she is in the hotel room now, but seeing Fang Ming like this now, it is clear that she does not want Benjamin and others to see that sketch right now.

Of course, she understood that this was because Fang Ming wanted to procrastinate for a while, and the so-called "selling at a high price" was referring to the current situation.

Whether it's Benjamin, or James and Ruby, they just want to see the sketch right now, but now Fang Ming refuses to let them see it. As time goes by, they must be getting more and more anxious. This situation is very difficult for Fang Ming It is more and more beneficial to say that.

Of course, even Benjamin and the others would understand this trick, but now Fang Ming has controlled it very well. Thoughts, there is no good way to deal with it, only to wait.

In fact, many people would use this kind of trick, but there are not many who can represent Fang Ming like this. So far, Lu Yao feels that Fang Ming has controlled the whole rhythm very well.

So it shouldn't be a problem.

"This one……"

Benjamin didn't expect that Fang Ming would still say such things until now, but he didn't think of a better way to deal with them after he said such things. After all, according to the current situation, even if Fang Ming wanted to take out a sketch, He can't take it out, can he?
It's not that he didn't think that this was Fang Ming's excuse, but even if it was an excuse, it was very upright, so what could he do?
"It seems that we can only wait now."

Ruby heard Fang Ming say this, and saw Benjamin's reaction—you must know that Benjamin was the first to come, and seeing his reaction, he knew that he should have used such an excuse to block Benjamin before. For the time being, we can only accept such a situation.

Fang Ming nodded, spread his hands, and said with an expression on his face, "I'm really sorry, because Ms. Deng didn't expect you to come so soon, so she arranged other things and went out. This kind of itinerary that has been arranged, especially the important itinerary, she has no way to change it, I think you should be able to understand this point."

What do you mean being cheap and being good?
Fang Ming now calls it cheap and good-looking.

It was clear that he wanted to procrastinate for time, but when it came to his mouth, it became an aboveboard reason.

So, although Lu Yaochi on the side didn't say anything, she endured quite a lot of hard work. If it wasn't for her own emotional control skills, she would probably have laughed out loud.

Deng Li has already returned, and Fang Ming still said this, which is clearly a representative of talking nonsense with open eyes.

However, she had to admit that Fang Ming's performance at this time was too good.

"However, don't worry, I have already called Ms. Deng, and she will be back as soon as she finishes her affairs. As I said just now, it will not be later than tonight at the latest. You will definitely Those of you who saw that sketch, of course, you don’t have to worry about the timing of the appraisal. If you can’t complete the appraisal tonight, you still have time tomorrow. I’m also in this line of work, and I know that appraisal is very complicated. Things, we can spend a little more time."

Fang Ming knew the truth that if he slapped him, he would give a sweet date. He couldn't always give Benjamin and the others the feeling that they were dragging their time. That would be very detrimental to him.

So he immediately relaxed the appraisal time, he knew that he had to show his sincerity, otherwise this matter would not go ahead, right?
Besides, such a sketch cannot be appraised in a short period of time, so he simply made a certain concession on this matter. Anyway, there are three people competing for this matter now. He will act first, and the whole situation is beneficial to him.

Hearing what Fang Ming said, Benjamin and the others breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, this is a good thing.

"Oh, Mr. Fang, this... I mean, did Miss Deng sell that sketch on purpose?"

Finding that there was no way to see that sketch now, James turned his mind to another aspect.

Ruby and Benjamin glanced at each other, and nodded secretly in their hearts. Isn't the purpose of people like themselves coming here to take down this sketch?If others are unwilling to make a move, then there is no point in saying more.

Therefore, James asked this question very well, so they immediately pricked up their ears, and looked at Fang Ming at the same time to see how Fang Ming answered.

Nodding his head, Fang Ming said, "Of course, as far as I know, Ms. Deng sold this sketch on purpose."

"Oh? Why? If the sketch is real, it's definitely a good thing. Doesn't Miss Deng want to keep such things for herself?"

As soon as Lu Bi heard what Fang Ming said, he immediately picked up the conversation. It is very important to find out the other party's intentions.

"Of course, this is also my guess. Whether this is the case, I have to wait for Miss Deng to come back and I will ask her to be sure."

"Oh? Why did Mr. Fang have such a guess?"

Three people play one play, and Benjamin immediately cooperated at this time.

"When I got such a sketch, I was there. According to my observation, Ms. Deng didn't show a very strong interest in it, so I think she should have done it on purpose, even if it was not interesting. But if the conditions you put forward can satisfy her, then she should also change her mind. The fundamental reason for this, I think, is that Ms. Deng is an oriental person, and she is not interested in Western art forms such as sketching. , I should not have much interest. Of course, Ms. Deng is also a collector, but as far as I know, her collection is mainly concentrated on oriental artworks. So, if you are interested, you really have a chance of."

high!
This is indeed high!

When Lu Yao at the side heard Fang Ming's words, she felt admiration again in her heart.

In Fang Ming's plan, this sketch will not be kept by himself, nor will it be used for auction. Its purpose is to exchange for those good things from his own country that have been lost. This has long been determined. down.

Therefore, how to express one's intentions is a skill, because if it is too obvious, if Benjamin and the others realize it, then the initiative will not be in their own hands.

Of course Fang Ming understood this problem, so he had to find a suitable opportunity and speak up in a suitable way.

Now Fang Ming's method is the best method.

By explaining why Deng Li made such a sketch, it brought out the direction of Deng Li's collection.

In the circle of collecting, everyone actually has their own interests and directions. It is impossible to collect everything. This is a very normal thing. After all, there are too many things that can be collected in this world. For a In terms of really playing collection, if you have something that is not your favorite, you will often sell it, and then use it to collect things you like.

Therefore, Fang Ming's explanation is very reasonable.

The crux of the problem is that Fang Ming's explanation was based on the other party's question. If they want the sketch, they have to bid, and Deng Li can refuse the other party's offer, and then say that unless it is The other party has something they want, and if so, it can be exchanged.

This way is the best, not sudden at all!
The initiative is still in your own hands.

It was precisely because she wanted to understand this point that Lu Yao admired Fang Ming so much.

It turned out that she was worried about this problem, worried about what an old fritter like Benjamin would see if Fang Ming made such a request, but now there is no problem at all.

After all, the groundwork has been laid now.

Glancing at Fang Ming, Lu Yao realized that Fang Ming was not looking at her at this time, on the contrary, there was still a very indifferent expression on his face.

"It seems...Fang Ming is able to get along like a fish in water in the circle now. It didn't come out of thin air. It's entirely determined by his ability!"

Lu Yao sighed in her heart.

Sure enough, after hearing what Fang Ming said, Benjamin and the others didn't doubt anything, on the contrary, they all showed an expression of "I understand".

"So that's the case. It seems that Miss Deng... is also a master at collecting Fang Ming."

Benjamin nodded. Of course, he didn't know anything about Deng Li. It was just flattery. After all, he didn't need to pay money if he said something nice. Of course he was willing to do such a thing.

"Yes."

Fang Ming smiled, and continued: "Miss Deng actually has a company that specializes in artworks registered abroad. Of course, because the company is located abroad, the scope of the company's business is mainly foreign artworks, but for her Personally, she appreciates our country's art more."

Fang Ming believed that Benjamin and others would also know about Deng Li's background, so he simply took this opportunity to mention it.

For many things, there is actually a difference between actively speaking out and not actively speaking out. Fang Ming is well aware of this. He is slowly laying out a plan, one is to let Benjamin and the others slowly move in the direction he wants to see In the current situation, all factors that may affect one's purpose must be resolved now.
