Chapter 1164 The Wind Rises

Guxuanzhai is on Dongcheng Street, so Fang Ming and Sikongzhe came back after a while.

Compared with the bustle of other shops, the current Guxuanzhai is much deserted. Although there are people coming in and out, it is much less after all.

"Ha! Fang Ming, every time I pass by your Guxuanzhai now, I feel that your business is too poor."

Sikong Zhe was joking with Fang Ming as he walked in.He is very familiar with the situation of Guxuanzhai, and knows that this is just an illusion. One of the reasons for this situation is that Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang did it intentionally, and the other important reason is that Guxuanzhai now pays his attention to it. Concentrate on high-end antiques. There used to be some million-level antiques, but now they mainly deal in those antiques worth tens of millions.

Such antiques are not affordable for ordinary people, and those who can afford them generally do not visit the store from time to time, and more often come in a "VIP" way, such as after an appointment. I also heard that Zhou Yafang sometimes handed over things to Zhao Zhuzi's security company, and gave antiques to interested buyers.

If it comes, there will be fewer people who actually come to Guxuanzhai.

Now Guxuanzhai is actually more of a symbol of Dongcheng Street, or a brand.

Sikong Zhe is very clear about this point, saying this now is just to make fun of Fang Ming.

"I think you might as well buy some low-end antiques to support the popularity."

Waving his hand, Fang Ming glared at Sikong Zhe and said, "Come on, let me tell you, Sikong Zhe, are you making trouble on purpose? What kind of idea did you come up with?"

Fang Ming was also someone who had a long history with Sikong Zhe, so he naturally understood that Sikong Zhe's so-called proposal was deliberately torturing himself.

"Hahaha!"

Sikong Zhe laughed loudly, spread his hands, and said, "I just think you can make more money by doing this."

This is typical blindness, Guxuanzhai doesn't make money now?How can this be?The current Guxuanzhai is far more profitable than the methods proposed by Sikong Zhe!

"Sikongzhe, if you talk nonsense like this, next time I won't let you enter our Guxuanzhai."

Si Kongzhe wanted to talk at first, but when he heard this, his stomach immediately shrank. He could talk nonsense with Fang Ming, but he didn't want to offend Zhou Yafang at all, so he immediately shut up—— Of course, Zhou Yafang said this in all likelihood, but he, who is "experienced", didn't want to gamble on that last year!

Can't enter Guxuanzhai anymore?Then this loss is a bit big, because Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang's collection of good things in this Guxuanzhai is now more and more, and if they offend Zhou Yafang and want to play with it in the future, there will be no way for them to come and play.

Seeing this, Fang Ming immediately became happy in his heart. This matter was really fun, but he also understood that his words had no power at all to Si Kongzhe, but Zhou Yafang was different. .

"Fang Ming, what the hell is going on? I see your mysterious appearance."

In the reception room inside, Sikong Zhe opened his mouth as soon as he sat down, but Fang Ming was not in a hurry at this time. He made tea first, took a few sips and nodded in satisfaction before saying, "Actually, it's still the same as this time." related to the exhibition."

"Huh? What happened?"

Zhou Yafang was taken aback by Fang Ming's words. In her opinion, if something serious hadn't happened, Fang Ming would not have said such things.

Seeing Zhou Yafang like this, Fang Ming couldn't help scratching his hair, knowing that what he said was misunderstood by Zhou Yafang again - Sikong Zhe had misunderstood this kind of thing once before.

Seeing Fang Ming's helpless expression, Si Kongzhe was happy again, and said, "Ha! Fang Ming, you see, not only I have such doubts, Zhou Yafang also surprised you. "

Fang Ming shook his head helplessly, and said: "I said that you are exaggerating a bit, I just said that there is something to discuss, so you all think about it, this...I..."

Fang Ming really didn't expect Fang Ming to react so strongly, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, it's better for us to talk about things."

Fang Ming thought for a while, and said: "Some of the antiques I got abroad this time are unowned, but most of them have a little problem with their origin, but the crux of the problem is that these antiques have no owner. Antiques with a little problem have very important significance, and I really want to appear in the exhibition, but I am a little worried."

Sikong Zhe and Zhou Yafang are both smart people, they immediately understood what was going on when they heard Fang Ming say this.

There is nothing wrong with unowned antiques appearing in the exhibition, but those antiques with questionable provenance are completely different.Because once such antiques are exhibited, it is likely to cause some disputes. As for the extent of such disputes, there is no way to estimate it now, so Fang Ming hesitates about this matter—this is a big or small matter, and But the big chance is even bigger.

The matter is really too big, Sikong Zhe is also in deep thought at this time, he really has no way to answer this question right now.

"Fang Ming, these antiques...their origins are very problematic...how serious is it?"

Zhou Yafang naturally understood the seriousness of this, so she had to ask this question clearly, and this was the most critical part.

"This... can't be evaluated!"

Fang Ming thought for a while, and finally smiled helplessly, and said: "Just like what I told you before, most of the antiques I got abroad this time were purchased in batches. Yes, there is no way to be sure about the origin, according to my speculation, the origin is probably very problematic, especially the batch we finally got from Kara."

"However, the batch of antiques obtained from Kara is the most important. In other words, those things in his hands are very important antiques that we lost abroad a hundred years ago?"

Sikong Zhe frowned tightly. Fang Ming had already made it clear what Kara was doing before, so he naturally knew that these things belonged to the owner. Well, the so-called owners of those things will come to the door, and it is really very likely to cause huge troubles.

Time passed by, the room was silent, and I couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

Sikong Zhe patted his thigh lightly. He understood that the most important reason why Fang Ming wanted to exhibit these antiques was that those antiques did have great representative significance.

"Actually... I think so. Although these antiques are indeed in the hands of those people abroad, they can't prove that these things have always been in their hands. That is to say, they can't take them out. The proof is that those antiques were obtained legally."

When Fang Ming and Sikong Zhe heard Zhou Yafang's words, they couldn't help but look at each other, and then there was a smile on their faces. They were both good people, and they immediately figured out what Zhou Yafang said last sentence meant.

The antiques obtained from Kara, although Kara did use improper means, but what kind of relationship does that have?
The means by which those people obtained these antiques are not very bright. Basically, it goes without saying that they were obtained by taking advantage of the war a hundred years ago. To put it bluntly, they were robbed. This time, no matter what method they use to get it back, what reason do they have to bullshit?If they want to bullshit, then bullshit with them.

"what!"

Sikong Zhe laughed, and said: "Fang Ming, this matter is a nonsense matter, I think this matter can be handled in this way, I will find someone to come out, and take out these antiques in his name How about an exhibition? This person will not appear, of course, if necessary, he can appear."

"it is good!"

Fang Ming thought for a while and nodded. Sikong Zhe was right. To put it bluntly, this matter is really a nonsense thing. Just push out someone. If those people come to the door and say that the antique is Theirs, then they have to provide evidence, and then they have to talk, the longer the talk, the better, anyway, it's good for me, Sikong Zhe, if you have money, it will be easier to do things if you have money, slow down Just slow down and talk with the other party.

"However, I think it's better for this person not to show up. We will entrust the name of such a person, and then put this pressure on us. Those people probably know that it is actually an antique we got, but because there are If there is a person in the middle, they actually have nothing to do with us, and we have reasons and obligations to keep this person's information confidential."

Sikong Zhe thought for a while, nodded, and agreed with Fang Ming's idea. He knew that Fang Ming was doing things under cover.

"Well, Fang Ming, use your method. Since this is the case, we can actually reveal the news about the antiques in this exhibition."

"it is good!"

Fang Ming clapped his hands heavily, and he also nodded, saying, "That's how it is!"

Fang Ming knew that Si Kongzhe wanted to use this method to spread the news and attract widespread attention. This is the best means of publicity—and he also believed that this matter would definitely arouse huge repercussions .

"It seems that the world is about to blow up wind, at least in our antique collection field, this time it really blows up wind."

Sikong Zhe shook his head, but there was a slightly weird expression on his face.

As soon as Fang Ming saw Sikong Zhe's expression, he immediately understood that Sikong Zhe was really hoping that this would happen.
