gifted collector

Chapter 958

It's late at night, but people are not quiet.

Benjamin was pacing slowly in the room. He had just come out from Fang Ming. Although Fang Ming had promised to consider exchanging antiques to try and see which sketch he could get out, he always It's because I don't think this matter is too reassuring, it seems... There are still variables.

Having been in the circle of art collection for decades, Benjamin has seen too many things that he thought he was going to succeed, but ended up beating chicken eggs and regretting it, so if he didn’t get the sketch for a day, then this thing is still over. .

At the beginning, Benjamin was still very irritable, but gradually he calmed down, after all, he had seen too many ups and downs.

Benjamin, who had calmed down, soon discovered that the reason why he was not at ease about this matter mainly came from two factors:

First, from Fang Ming and Ms. Deng, although it has been decided to use the method of exchange, the question now is that the sketch is what I definitely want, but whether I or the person who entrusted me can take it out The antiques that Fang Ming and Ms. Deng are interested in are still unknown. Judging from the value of the sketch, it is not easy to do this.For those who are not short of money, the style of the collection is also very high. In addition, from the sketch that Fang Ming was able to pick up, we can also see the other party's ability to appraise. It was absolutely impossible to dismiss Fang Ming casually.

Second, James and Ruby.

If the first factor is difficult, but there is still a certain way - to put it bluntly, it is to see if there is something Fang Ming is interested in in the hands of his client, then James and Ruby are factors that are completely out of control.Don't think that I have gained the upper hand because of Lu Yao, but if I feel that they are kicked out just like this, then they are not far from death.

Especially his performance in the box must have attracted their attention, so they guessed that he and Lu Yao had already had contact.Which one of James and Ruby has not been rolling in the circle for many years?It's always the real old foxes. After they realize that something is wrong, they will probably guess their own method immediately. At that time, their hard-won first move will disappear without a trace.

Moreover, in Benjamin's view, this possibility is too great!
Benjamin frowned tightly, this is really a very difficult thing.

Especially when he left Fang Ming's place before, Fang Ming emphasized that he had promised James and Ruby that they would give a chance to quote the next day. This was clearly the opportunity for James and Ruby!

Thinking of this, Benjamin's heart, which had finally calmed down, became irritable again.

He wanted to find a way to solve this situation, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't think of a way, which made him feel even more annoyed.

What if James and Ruby really guessed the method they are using now?
This possibility is too great. Once such a situation really arises, then James and Ruby will definitely propose to Fang Ming that they can also obtain the sketch by exchanging it.

Once they proposed, Fang Ming had no reason not to agree!

At that time, wouldn't the situation return to the situation where everyone paid for the bidding?
Thinking of this, Benjamin's brows became even tighter again. This matter...he felt more and more that it was beyond his control. If there was one person still in control of this matter, then only Fang Ming!

"This... Did I fall into the pit that Lu Yao dug?"

Benjamin suddenly realized a problem, that was, he seemed to be tricked by Lu Yao.Yes, there is nothing wrong, because of Lu Yao, I found a better way to get that sketch, but the crux of the problem is that it seems that this way has not been implemented, that is to say, I did not start from The benefit gained from this method, on the contrary, was because of this reason, the union between myself and James and Ruby was torn apart at once, that is to say, in the end I did not get any benefit, only Fang Ming got the benefit!
As for why Lu Yao treated her like this?
This matter is actually too simple, Lu Yao's relationship with that Fang Ming and Miss Deng must be better than her own!

Isn't it normal to deal with yourself in this situation?

Of course, it is also possible that I am suspicious, but no matter what, Benjamin has already affirmed one thing now, that is, what he has lost from Lu Yao or after being in contact with Lu Yao is far more than what he has gained. Much more!
"Oh shit!"

Benjamin couldn't help but cursed, the expression on his face was very ugly.

His chest rose and fell sharply, and it took Benjamin a long time to control his anger a little bit.

No matter what it is, the most important thing now is actually one thing, that is to see how to get the sketch from Fang Ming. If not, then he is really ashamed this time. Afterwards, James and Ruby will definitely not let themselves go. Of course, they can't beat themselves up, but they spread some words to make people in the circle think that they were fooled by Lu Yao so that they hurt their colleagues. If you don't get to the sketch, if you make a fool of yourself, you can still do it.

"This time, no matter what, I must get that sketch!"

Benjamin secretly made up his mind.

Confusion and depression were Benjamin's mood at this time.If someone cries in this world, someone must laugh. For example, Fang Ming is in a very good mood at this time. He is not in his own room, but in Deng Li's room. At the same time, there is another person, that is Lu Yao, after Benjamin found him, he went to Deng Li's room with Lu Yao.

"Looking at the expression on your face, it seems that things are going very smoothly?"

Deng Li was drinking coffee. When she saw Fang Ming and Lu Yao coming, she naturally poured them a cup too.

Fang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, I'm in a good mood. Just now Benjamin came to me and said that the way he would like to exchange is of course to exchange that sketch with the Chinese antiques we are interested in. I think things have come to this, as long as there are no accidents, then our goal will be achieved."

Fang Ming was in a very good mood at this moment. Ever since Benjamin came to find him, this matter had actually been settled, and everything he had longed for had become a reality.

"The current situation is that after tomorrow, we can go to the person represented by Benjamin to see what good things he has in his hand. If there is, then I will not be polite. Hmph! As the saying goes If they don’t see rabbits or hawks, they still come up with some good things, so I won’t let them get this sketch—the sketch in our hands is a real good thing, and they know it very well, so I say , They must be prepared to bleed heavily."

A sneer appeared on Fang Ming's face!

He knew that people like those represented by Benjamin must have what he wanted in their hands. Of course, how many there are, or what level they are at is another matter.He has already made up his mind, unless it is something really good, otherwise he will definitely not let go of the sketch.

If I don't make good use of it, I really have wasted this sketch.

"Well, yes, there is nothing wrong. The sketch we got this time seems to be really a very good thing. It is really a waste not to make good use of it."

In this regard, Deng Li is indeed not a real expert, but she does not need to know how to appraise this matter herself. She only needs to know the status of James and Benjamin in the western appraisal circle, plus their
When faced with this sketch, the "monkey anxious" look, you can judge that the sketch is very extraordinary, so it is natural to seize the opportunity to get more good things.

"Well, yes, unless they don't have good things in their hands, as long as they have good things, they can't escape my eyes."

Fang Ming knows this very well, as long as he can see the other party's collection, what good things can escape after passing his own hands?

So, this matter has reached the level it is now, and it has entered the situation that he most wants to see, and it is exactly what he most wants to see.

Fang Ming looked at Lu Yao, and said, "Lu Yao, Benjamin may have realized by this time that you may have dug a hole for him."

Lu Yao was drinking coffee. Hearing what Fang Ming said, she nodded lightly and said, "Yes, there is a possibility. Benjamin is also a smart person. He just wanted to get it too much before, so he didn't notice it. , Now that he has calmed down, he will think in this direction in all likelihood. However, even if he can react, what can he do? This matter... as long as he still wants the sketch, he can only It’s done in the way we set out to do.”

Lu Yao's voice was a bit cold. Even if Benjamin knew about it, she didn't think there was any problem at all. This line of business is based on their own methods, not to mention that the purpose of coming out this time is to assist Fang Ming in collecting those national treasures that have been lost abroad. The antiques were taken back.

Most of these antiques were taken away a hundred years ago because of wars and other relations, and now I just took them back!

"Well, yes, in this situation, even if Benjamin reacts, there is no problem, because the connection between them and James and Ruby can no longer be established, so the matter is for us. Said it is very beneficial."
