Chapter 954
"We... are in trouble now."

James was silent for a while, and then went on to say: "Well, let's each rely on our own abilities."

The three of them had a preliminary agreement before, even if the agreement was informal, it was still an agreement after all, wasn't it?
Under normal circumstances, it will definitely be complied with, at least to a certain extent, but at this time James said such words, which means that this matter ends here, the agreement reached by the three people before , then it is already completed or invalidated.

Benjamin thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay."

The atmosphere between the three people is not right anymore. Even if there is an agreement, it is the same as in fact. If this is the case, then it is better to cancel it. At the same time, he knows that the root cause of this matter is very likely to be himself. , then there is nothing more to say.

"Well, I agree too, it's up to each other according to their own abilities."

Lu Bi is also a smart person, and there are many things that need not be said too clearly.In fact, he also understood that once he saw this sketch, he knew that the previous agreement was unnecessary, because this sketch——was real.

Since it is true, none of the three people is willing to give up, so let's say that the agreement or something is like a fart.

Looking at the sketch placed in front of him, Benjamin showed a look of not knowing how to describe it.

In fact, it's not just him, even James and Ruby have the same expression on their faces.

Sketch, the sketch in front of me means that the news is still spreading. If the news spreads, it will be really terrible, and it will definitely cause shocks in the entire Western art world. Such a picture Fang Ming... no, why did the sketch come from that person surnamed Deng?
If this sketch cannot be taken down, the only possibility is that a work of art that is extremely important in the history of Western art will be brought back to China, and once such a thing happens, then if you want to get it back, Definitely not an easy task.

For one thing, not only Benjamin, even James and Ruby, they are very clear.

However, it is clear that no one is a fool in this world. It is very difficult to knock down this sketch from Fang Ming's hands. It is absolutely impossible not to bleed hard once. Don't think about it.

If possible, Benjamin would like to snatch the sketch away, but when he saw Zhao Zhuzi standing like a fierce god, he could only sigh inwardly, and then gave up on this. Crazy thought: This big man looks like he came out of a special army. He is an appraisal player, not a fighter. I am afraid that if he stretches out his hand, the other party will break his neck. Therefore, It's better to be honest.

In fact, not only he had such an idea, but Ruby and James also had such an idea, but after taking a look at Zhao Zhuzi, they immediately gave up. From this, it can be seen that Fang Ming is nothing Fuel-efficient lamps, I have already thought about the possibility of such a thing, and I have already arranged it first.

"Since the three of us all think that there is nothing wrong with the sketch, there is no need to continue the appraisal. Let's go to Fang Ming, have a good talk, and see how we can get the sketch down."

When James said this, he looked at Benjamin, then at Ruby, and continued: "I know that the three of us actually want to take down this sketch. This is very clear. I don't think it is true. As for the problem, we will each get it according to our ability. However, there is still one problem we must pay attention to, that is, no matter who gets the sketch in the end, it is better than not taking it down.”

"You will also know that once we can't take it down this time, then this sketch is likely to be taken back to Huaxia. In that case, we may never be able to get this sketch back. Tonight It's not a formal auction, if we can't satisfy that Fang Ming or that Miss Deng, then this matter will be a mess."

Ruby and Benjamin were taken aback for a moment, and then their expressions immediately became serious. What James said was not wrong at all, it was indeed the case, and this question was a very important one.

"Okay, there's no problem with that, I... will try my best to get this sketch down."

Ruby nodded. As the saying goes, the entrance is as deep as the sea. It is very correct to use such words to describe the collection of artworks.

There are a lot of rich people in China. Once this sketch is brought back, it is hard to say what will happen. Or, if this sketch is missed today, what if that Miss Deng is unwilling to sell this sketch again? Sketching, the problem is even more serious!
If the sketch in front of me is just an ordinary sketch, then there is no big problem, but the problem is that the sketch in front of me is so important in the history of art, which kind of sketch must be taken something down.

"Benjamin, I think you may be more sure about this sketch, so you must think of a way."

Benjamin frowned, James really meant something.

He sighed inwardly, Benjamin knew that James must have known about his contact with Lu Yao - if this point was just suspicion before, now James' words are clear evidence.

"James, don't worry, I am as determined to get this sketch as you are, so I will definitely do my best."

What else could Benjamin say besides saying this?It's impossible for him to admit directly that he has been in contact with Lu Yao, and he already had a better way to get that sketch, right?
It's one thing to be found out, quite another to admit it outright.

Ruby glanced at James and then at Benjamin. Something must have happened, which he can now confirm.

Of course, neither James nor Benjamin would say what happened. For the time being, it is impossible to know. He was very curious, but now is not the time to inquire, but he secretly decided in his heart. With determination, I must ask James to find out what happened here after the incident here tonight.

Benjamin stood up and walked towards Fang Ming together with James and Ruby.

Seeing Benjamin and the others walking towards him, Fang Ming knew that they had finished the appraisal, and from their expressions, he knew that Benjamin and the others were sure that the sketch was real.

"Is the sketch good?"

Benjamin nodded and said, "Yes, it's true."

"Mr. Fang, when I saw this sketch, I couldn't help thinking, how did this sketch fall into your hands?"

James looked at Fang Ming and sighed softly.Everyone is a master, so there is no need to use tricks such as questioning whether the sketch is fake to lower the price. The reason why he said this is actually more unwilling.

"Oh, yes, Mr. Fang, I also don't understand how this sketch fell into your hands by such a coincidence."

Ruby was also very depressed. He believed what Tom said before, that is, this sketch was originally in Tom's hands, but Fang Ming took it away with a small trick.

"um, yes."

Fang Ming spread his hands, how could he not hear the sour tone in the tone of Benjamin and others?
However, Fang Ming didn't care about them. Anyway, the sketch was in his hands, and no matter how bitter they were, it had nothing to do with him, so he just responded politely and then simply quit. not talking anymore.

Seeing Fang Ming like this, Benjamin, James, and Ruby glanced at each other, sighed inwardly, and then shook their heads lightly. No matter how you put it, that doesn't change the fact—that is, the sketch now belongs to Fang Ming.

Unless people like myself don't want the sketch, don't they also depend on Fang Ming's face?
Since this is the case, it really doesn't make sense to say such things to Fang Ming again.

"Well, this sketch, let me show you $2000 million."

Lu Bi looked at Fang Ming and quoted the first price.

Fang Ming shook his head lightly, and did not speak. In Fang Ming's opinion, the asking price of Rupees was not worth asking himself, because...it was too little.Of course, he didn't have any more emotions, because this was just the first asking price, and it was just a trial of rupees.

After Ruby finished asking the price, he looked at Fang Ming.

Of course, this is just an asking price. He hopes to test Fang Ming's attitude through such an asking price. If Fang Ming responds, it proves that this price can satisfy Fang Ming to a certain extent, at least it is also a price that can satisfy Fang Ming. Price up for negotiation.

However, he was disappointed. After Fang Ming listened to his offer, although he reacted, he also understood that it was just a courtesy.

"3000."

"4000."

"5000."

……

The price rose very quickly, reaching 8000 million almost in the blink of an eye. However, in Benjamin's opinion, even if Fang Ming was not satisfied with such a price, there must be an expression, right?However, they were very disappointed that Fang Ming's expression was almost never discussed during the whole asking price process.

Yes, that’s right, the price of the sketch in front of me is of course more than 8000 million. Fang Ming’s expression can only show that he has a clear understanding of the price of the sketch in front of him—this is not a good thing !
