gifted collector

Chapter 957 Reluctantly agree
James and Ruby are worthy of being old Jianghu. Although they didn't understand this matter before, once the two of them found the right direction and guessed, there would be no problem at all. They guessed it right away. And they believe that what they guessed must be the truth.

"Heh, since that's the case, then we can actually solve the problem very easily."

James smiled and said, "Well, when we meet Fang Ming tomorrow, we can settle it like this. Fang Ming or Ms. Deng, don't they need antiques from their own painters? I think our commission People, I can still come up with some. Hmph! Ruby, how about this, the two of us have made this clear now, if the purpose of Fang Ming and that Miss Deng is what we guessed, then we will each Based on their ability, whoever can come up with an antique that interests them will own the sketch."

"Okay! No problem! That's it! Hmph! Anyway, we can't let Benjamin have the sketch!"

Ruby immediately nodded and agreed. Although no afternoon agreement could be reached this time, he was very satisfied and very clear.

Benjamin didn't know that James and Ruby had figured out what he was going to do, and at this time he was indeed looking for Fang Ming. He wanted to solve the sketching problem as soon as possible. As the saying goes, nights have long dreams, and he was worried that if he didn't deal with this matter right away, it would be procrastinating. The longer it takes, the more troublesome this matter will be.

Both James and Ruby are very difficult people to deal with, he is very clear about this, and what happened in the box before also made him notice that they most likely guessed something-so, the sooner you do it, the better!

Therefore, after leaving the box, Benjamin immediately found Fang Ming.

Not long after Fang Ming returned to the room, someone knocked on the door. Hearing this sound, a smile appeared on his face immediately. He knew that the real start of the show was now—the one who came to find him must be Benjamin. ,
Open the door, and sure enough, it was Benjamin standing outside the door!
"Oh, Mr. Benjamin, please come in."

Fang Ming was not at all surprised by Benjamin's arrival, but there was still a trace of surprise showing on his face very cooperatively.

Benjamin felt a little embarrassed by the expression on Fang Ming's face at this moment, but since the matter has reached the point where he is now, he doesn't want to give up halfway, so he just pretends that he doesn't understand the meaning of Fang Ming's words What exactly is it, and said: "Heh, Mr. Fang, I think it is convenient to talk to you about some things?"

Fang Ming nodded and said, "No problem, please come in."

Of course Fang Ming understood why Benjamin was looking for him, and this was exactly his purpose, so of course he let him in.

Fang Ming poured a glass of water for Benjamin, then sat down and said, "Mr. Benjamin, I wonder why you came to see me?"

Benjamin had already made up his mind at this time, and simply said directly: "Of course I came here for that sketch. I observed it in the box before, and you seem to be not too concerned about the price we quoted. interested."

Fang Ming nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, it's true, you are also a professional master, so you naturally know the real price of that sketch, the price you quoted sounds really good, but In fact, I think you guys are very clear about it—to put it bluntly, that sketch can be sold at the price you quoted. Under such circumstances, I Not much interest, that's perfectly normal."

Benjamin blushed a bit. Fang Ming's words were really straightforward, but what he couldn't help was that it was indeed the truth. The price quoted by himself or James or Rupees could be sold at will. go out.

"Well, yes, I admit that too."

Benjamin nodded and said: "That sketch is indeed a good thing, and we really want it very much, so I am here now to hope to have a good talk with Mr. Fang to see if there is any good way to solve this problem question."

"Okay! I also hope or Miss Deng also hopes to solve this problem. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can quote a price that interests us or come up with something that interests us."

Fang Ming knew that Benjamin was really hooked.

Benjamin thought for a while, "Well, Mr. Fang, if I want to quote a price that will interest you or Ms. Deng, it is not an easy task, because this sketch is not only made by a master , the important thing is that its position in the history of art is very important, which means that its price is very huge. To be honest, it is difficult to measure it with money. This is actually the price we quoted Although it is not low, it is actually not the most important reason for your satisfaction."

Fang Ming didn't speak, just looked at Benjamin, he was waiting for the other party to continue talking.

For some reason, Benjamin suddenly felt a little dry in his mouth at this moment, so he couldn't help taking a sip of the water in front of him, and then said, "So, I think we can change the way."

"Oh? In what way?"

As soon as Benjamin heard it, he knew that Fang Ming was interested in what he said, but this was exactly the way Lu Yao told herself, so he immediately went on to say: "I noticed a problem, that is, you have mentioned it many times, Miss Deng The field of her collection is mainly concentrated on the antiques or artworks of China, that is, your own country?"

This idea was told by Lu Yao to Benjamin, but at this time he naturally couldn't sell Lu Yao, so he used what Fang Ming said before to lead the conversation out.

"Yes, that's right. I did say that, and it's also true. I'm actually a consultant for Ms. Deng's art company. According to my understanding, her interest is indeed in our country's antiques. She is not very interested in foreign artworks, and I have said this many times before."

As soon as Benjamin heard what Fang Ming said, he immediately answered, "Yes, so, I thought of a way, that is, maybe I can find some antiques that Ms. Deng likes. I wonder if Ms. Deng is interested? I think if If she is interested, then we... seem to be able to exchange?"

Fang Ming raised his brows, knowing that Lu Yao had completely led Benjamin to the road yesterday, of course, at this time, he showed his full range of acting skills, raised his brows, and said, "Oh? This is a good one. I can suggest it to Ms. Deng. Of course, the premise is that you can come up with antiques that Ms. Deng is interested in. You must know that Ms. Deng is not an ordinary collector. She collects very valuable antiques. This is one, and the second is that this sketch is not an ordinary antique, its value is extremely high, and the antique you take out must be consistent with this sketch in terms of value."

"no problem."

Hearing that Fang Ming agreed with the method he proposed, Benjamin nodded emphatically and said, "Of course! I think the antiques I brought out are naturally of interest to Ms. Deng. If this is the case, I think There’s no way this whole thing can go on.”

"However, I think it is very difficult to compare the value of the sketch... One is that the value of the sketch in your hands is relatively high, and the unit price of the antique I took out may not match ..."

Waving his hand, Fang Ming said: "This is not a problem. If one is not good, then two. In short, the value should not be too far apart. If it is too far, let's discuss it and use money to solve it. All of this, it must first be established that there must be at least one antique in your hands that we are interested in."

"Well, that's a good idea."

Benjamin thought for a while, and nodded in agreement with Fang Ming's proposal.

"Then... what kind of Chinese antiques do you have? I know the situation of Ms. Deng's collection. Tell me, so that when I make suggestions with Ms. Deng, I can know it well."

"Ah...this..."

When Benjamin came here this time, he only thought about using money to solve the problem. He exchanged Huaxia antiques with Fang Ming and Deng Li because he came up with a solution after listening to Lu Yao's suggestion, and he actually took out the antiques. It wasn't him, but the rich collector he represented. How could he know what Chinese antiques the rich man had in his hand?And Fang Ming and Deng Li are interested?So he had no way to answer Fang Ming's words at this time.

"Oh... It seems that this problem is still not easy to solve."

Of course Fang Ming knew what was going on, but he said this for a purpose, to put a little pressure on Benjamin.

Sure enough, as soon as Benjamin heard what Fang Ming said, he immediately became a little anxious, and said in a hurry: "This...Mr. Fang, don't worry, I must have antiques that you or Miss Deng are interested in. But, you also know that I can't bring such antiques with me now, can I? I think it's better to go to a place, see those antiques on the spot, and then talk?"

"Well, this is also a good way, okay, that's okay, then you can arrange your time, in my opinion, the sooner the better."

Fang Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this is exactly his purpose!
"Okay, no problem! I'll arrange it right away, and I think we'll be leaving tomorrow."

Benjamin was overjoyed when he heard that, but what he didn't expect was that Fang Ming shook his head and said, "I can't leave tomorrow. I promised James and Ruby that I would meet them tomorrow... ..."

Benjamin's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little bad. At this time, Fang Ming paused and then said: "You know, for me, if they can really come up with something that will let me, let me Why do you disagree with Miss Deng's price? In short, let's do it this way, if they can't quote a price that satisfies me tomorrow, I'll go with you to see the antiques in your hand."

"This... well..."

Benjamin certainly didn't want this to happen, but what Fang Ming said was reasonable, how could he find a reason to refute it?So in the end, I could only nod in agreement.
