Antique Dealer

Chapter 188 Reminder
Fang Hao felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, so he deliberately made jokes to make everyone laugh, and the atmosphere became harmonious accordingly.

After all, the old man is old, he has traveled long distances, and his legs and feet are not convenient. He rushed to the hospital before resting. Although he is in good spirits, his face looks very tired.

Han Liyun noticed this, and offered to ask the old man to go back to the hotel to rest first. She is also going to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and then everyone will have dinner together before reunion.

The old man was still a little unhappy, everyone tried to persuade him, but he couldn't persuade everyone to agree.

Fang Hao entrusted Tang Mingshan's relationship and called a commercial vehicle. Fang Hao helped the old man get into the car first.

Fang Hao's uncle Fang Zhengqiang waved at Zhao Shuo: "Brother-in-law, you go up first, see you tomorrow."

Zhao Shuo nodded and said yes, but he didn't look away until the car drove to the hotel, and returned to the ward.

In the car, the old man Fang Shifu let out a long sigh: "Hey, Li Yun and his wife are also working hard. At this age, we still send white-haired people to black-haired people."

Fang Zhengqiang said: "This is fate."

Fang Shifu suddenly became unhappy: "I don't like to hear your words. People's lives are chosen by themselves. If the couple is well educated, can the bastard commit suicide? Thanks to you, you are still a materialist. After so many years of organizing White education!"

Fang Zhengqiang was a little embarrassed by what his father said.

"It can't be completely blamed on Zhao Shuo." Fang Hao talked about Wei Luoyin's current investigation results. Considering the driver in front, he just said vaguely, and did not mention Liang Yuwen's name.

Fang Shifu was very angry: "That woman is clearly a snake and a scorpion, she must be sent to jail!"

Fang Zhengqiang said: "We understand your old feelings, but if we only have the evidence now, we can only condemn her morally, other than that, we have nothing to do with her."

Fang Hao also nodded and said: "That's true, but she will definitely get the punishment she deserves!"

Fang Shifu frowned: "Don't do anything illegal."

Fang Hao laughed: "You can always rest assured, I am living a good life now, but I don't want to take my own future to live, and I will not be like Zhao Lei, who suffers from being a loved one. The enemy is so stupid."

"It's good if you understand." Fang Shifu nodded: "I heard from your father that you are now in the antique business, and you even opened an antique shop near Panjiayuan, and you made money from the antique business?"

"Yes."

Fang Shifu said: "Whether it is ability or luck, it is a good thing that you can make money to open an antique shop. However, I still want to remind you that the antique industry is full of mixed people. People who are eager to make money and like to get something for nothing , these two types of people are not easy to get along with, you have to remember not to have too much contact with this kind of people.

And I want to make a request to you, you must never make any transactions with people who steal, buy and sell by force, or bully the market. "

Fang Hao said with a serious face: "I will definitely keep it in my heart!"

After all, Fang Shifu is still too old, and his body is a bit overwhelmed. Just now in the hospital, because he wanted to see his daughter, his spirit was always high, and he didn't feel tired. After getting in the car, he didn't talk a few words, his body and mind became exhausted, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while. up.

Soon, the business car drove to the door of the hotel where he was staying. Fang Hao paid the rental fee, and the brothers helped the old man to the guest room to let him rest.

Fang Zhengwei said: "Brother, do you want to sleep for a while?"

Fang Zheng waved his hand forcefully: "No, I'm not too tired now, and I can't fall asleep, but the food on the train is not comfortable, and I'm a little hungry now."

"Then let's go downstairs and eat something." Fang Hao said, "Grandpa should have something to eat before resting."

Fang Zhengqiang said, "It's okay. Your grandfather is getting old and sleeps lightly. He will wake up soon."

The three of them came to the hotel restaurant and each ordered a bowl of noodles and a few side dishes.

Fang Zheng took a sip of tea: "Xiao Hao, what Grandpa told you just now is also out of emotion. Fang Yaoxing, according to your seniority, you should be counted as your third grandpa. You should still remember."

"I remember." Fang Hao said in his heart, how could he not remember, Liao Zhenzhong asked him to send a message to Fang Yaoxing a few days ago.

"What's the matter, is he going to be okay?"

"No accident happened to him, it was his grandson Fang Xiuzhe who had the accident."

Fang Hao knew Fang Xiuzhe, and he had an arrogant personality. During the Chinese New Year last year, one of Fang Hao's elders organized a dinner party, and Fang Xiuzhe was there too. He treated the younger generations with his nostrils turned upside down, his tail up to the sky, and he was proud Said eloquently which young master he knew, and went to a certain restaurant to eat together before, and he ate 10,000+ for a meal.

Seeing him like this, Fang Hao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly regarded him as air.

"What's up with him?"

"I was cheated out of 300 million three months ago!"

One night last month, a friend of Fang Xiuzhe called him and said that he found a rare Tang Sancai female figurine in an antique shop. Treat this thing as genuine and let Fang Zhexiu pick it up.

"Why didn't you buy it?" Fang Xiuzhe was not stupid, he knew that there would be no pie in the sky, so he asked at that time.

The other party immediately told Fang Xiuzhe: "It's not like you don't know, my wife is most against me taking home unearthed things, because I think it's dirty."

Fang Xiuzhe thought of what this friend said before, and chose to believe it.

Later, the other party said that after the transaction was completed, he needed to be paid a favor fee.

This request was very reasonable, and Fang Xiuzhe dispelled his doubts.

The next morning, Fang Xiuzhe came to the antique shop his friend mentioned.

The boss was a middle-aged man who was reading a book at the time. When he saw Fang Xiuzhe coming, he raised his head to take a look, and then continued to read his book.

Fang Xiuzhe pretended to have discovered the three-color female figurine by accident, and asked, "How much is this thing?"

The boss said: "This is for others to sell, the minimum is [-], and if there is less, we will not sell it."

"Is it real?" Fang Xiuzhe pretended to be a novice.

The boss half-jokingly and half-sarcastically said, "Try to throw it to see if it's Tao's!"

Fang Xiuzhe picked up the three-color female figurine and observed it carefully, and found that the whole shape was well-proportioned, both in shape and spirit, and detailed in detail. In terms of character creation, he showed the artistic style of "rich muscles and beautiful bones". A tri-colored lady figurine from the Tang Dynasty seen in the museum is very similar, and he thinks it should be the real thing.

So I bargained with the boss and finally bought it for fourteen thousand.

After Fang Xiuzhe went back, he happily called his friend to announce the good news. The friend was happy for him, and his tone was a little annoyed. Then he suggested to him that he could take the things to auction abroad.

It is illegal to buy and sell unearthed cultural relics, let alone the famous Tang Sancai.

Therefore, Fang Xiuzhe agreed to the proposal.But immediately, his friend said that Fang Xiuzhe needs to pay 300 million operating funds in advance, and he can guarantee that he will get back 2000 million within three months.

Then he explained the truth to Fang Xiuzhe.

If a piece of collection can be sold quickly, simply and conveniently, and can be sold at a sky-high price 100% casually, it will be pie in the sky!
If this is the case, how can the current international auction houses survive?You know, the hundreds of billions of transactions in the antique art market every year are all sold in auction houses. Why do they rely on it? Isn't it because of channels and capital operations?
All this is absolutely impossible without money!

"For a piece of porcelain, even Sotheby's has to operate for a year and a half to sell it at a high price. I can guarantee you that you can get back 2000 million in three months. Is it realistic to not pay some price?"

Fang Xiuzhe felt that what his friend said was indeed very reasonable, but he was definitely worried about asking him to spend 300 million and hand over the figurines of ladies to his friend.

So, that friend said again, he knew that Fang Xiuzhe was worried, and he had a piece of Tianhuang material in his hand, which he could put on Fang Xiuzhe's place.But at the same time, he also asked for a [-]% commission after the figurines were sold.

Fang Xiuzhe had seen the field yellow material from a friend, it was very exquisite, and it was conservatively estimated that it was worth 500 million.With such a thing in his hands, how could he be worried?
As for the benefit fee, although there are 200 million yuan, it is nothing compared to my own income. As my friend said, if I don’t pay, how can I get an amazing return?
He didn't have so much money in his hand, and because his grandfather had warned him that he could not buy unearthed cultural relics, he secretly took the house as a mortgage, scraped together 300 million yuan, and then handed it to his friend together with the figurines of ladies. The two also symbolically signed an agreement.

Three months passed in a flash. When Fang Xiuzhe asked his friend for money, but the friend didn't answer the phone, Fang Xiuzhe became anxious and went to the door to look for him, but found that the door of his friend was closed, and he didn't know where he had gone for a long time.

Fang Xiuzhe realized something was wrong, and when he returned home and took out the piece of Tianhuang material, and asked his grandfather to help him identify it, he realized that it was a piece of high-quality imitation Tianhuang, which was worthless at all.

Fang Hao learned the whole story, and felt that Fang Xiuzhe was to blame. After thinking about it, he knew that if the portrait of the lady could sell for 2000 million, his so-called friend would not buy the unearthed cultural relics because his wife would not let him?

"In the final analysis, it's not because Fang Xiuzhe was blinded by money!" Fang Hao said in his heart, "he deserves it".

"You're right, but then again, how many people in this world can keep a clear head when encountering an opportunity to make a lot of money, especially when this opportunity is already in front of them?"

When Fang Zhengqiang said this, the waiter brought over the noodles. He took a sip and praised: "Xijing is worthy of being called the capital of noodle dishes. The noodle dishes here are really delicious!"

Fang Zhengwei said: "It's really delicious. I don't like noodles very much, so it's fine as a staple food. I don't know why, but when it comes to our place, the same technology can't make the same taste. It may be due to the climate. Reason."
