    Old Jack looked at Fang Yi with a look of disbelief on his face and asked, "What did you say? Are you looking for a purebred Lipizzaner?".  "Yes!" Fang Yi nodded and said, "Are there any racecourses near here that don't have horses like this? Tell me what you know, and I'm going to have a look in the next two days!".  "You can only find purebred Lipizzaners in Europe or equestrian clubs. Even so-called purebred Lipizzaners are difficult to find because there are only about 3,000 purebred Lipizzaners!" Mr.  Jack saw Fang Yi's smile turn into surprise, and immediately asked his boss, "What are you looking for with a horse like this?".  "I want the knight's mount in the next painting. I need to know a beautiful horse, and it's best to see a horse with my own eyes. I need it to be my model," Fang Yi said immediately.  When he went to Europe, he saw purebred Lipizzaners. Fang Yi believed that he would be able to see them if he went there.  Not to mention 3,000 horses, even 300 horses is not a big deal for my current reputation. After all, I just want to watch and don't be greedy.  However, Fang Yi felt that it was a bit ridiculous to go to Europe with a horse, so he immediately considered changing to a different kind of horse.  When Old Jack heard the boss's request, he couldn't help but smile and said: "If you don't emphasize too much about purebreds, as long as they look good, there are many choices. The most popular horse farms nearby are Quarter Horses, Morgans, and  Some Arabs, of course, most of them are mixed-race, and they are already in good shape. There are also Frisians, Andalusians"  ¡°As long as it looks good, that¡¯s fine!¡± Fang Yi said quickly.  "That's easy. If you have time, I will take you to a few racecourses. After watching them, you will have an intuitive impression," Jack said to Fang Yi.  Fang Yi had no choice but to nod upon hearing this.  I made a right decision in my heart and left the professional matters to Jack, a professional: "That'll do!".  After accepting the task, Old Jack got busy that day. At around eight o'clock the next day, he took Fang Yi to someone else's ranch to watch horses.  As a semi-horse blind person, Fang Yi's eyes were opened. He saw nearly twenty horse breeds in three or four days, and he didn't know how a small Los Angeles could hide so many horse breeds.  Fang Yi finally found a horse that he liked.  A tall-looking horse was gnawing grass on the morning ground of the racecourse. Its long mane hung straight on its long and solid neck, and its entire body looked very well-proportioned.  Moreover, the limbs also look quite strong, and the whole horse's fur looks blue, with some slightly darker blue dots randomly dotted on it, giving it a faint smudged appearance.  Look at the horse in front of you.  Fang Yi immediately felt that Gao Chong's mount should look like this.  There is a burst of strength in every moment of silence, and the whole figure of the hanging horse head has a hint of grace.  "That's it!" Fang Yi pointed at the horse he was interested in and said to Jack and the rancher.  Jack glanced at the direction of Fang Yi's finger and immediately opened his mouth and said: "Boss, that's a mixed-blood horse! It seems to have some Friesian blood, and the head also has some characteristics of Arabian horses, and there seems to be other  The look of a horse!"  Listening to the boss talk about purebreds, how come they finally picked a mongrel, and it was so mongrel that it was almost a horse that could only plow the land and pull a plow.  I saw a horse that suited my liking.  Fang Yi was in such a good mood that he no longer cared about the issue of purebreds and impure ones, and asked directly to the rancher: "Larick. I think this horse is good!".  God knows where Jack saw so many things!  Fang Yi saw that it looked good and suited his liking.  "One thousand dollars!" The rancher heard that Fang Yi liked this horse and immediately quoted his price.  "A thousand dollars?" Jack looked at the rancher and said, "Bring your horse trailer?"  A half-blood horse costs one thousand dollars, which is not the price here. Even if a horse like this is cut in half, the price is high.  The owner of the racecourse, Larrick, glanced at Jack and Fang Yi and said, "I thought you wanted to buy a purebred horse. Who knew you had been looking at it all morning and bought such a horse? Because you came here, I turned down two horses.  A visitor to the racecourse!"  This means that I know that you are coming to recommend guests, so why do you still care about this little money with me?  "If I spend a thousand dollars on a horse like this, then I'm not a cowboy." Jack didn't appreciate it and said directly: "Well, four hundred dollars at most. Four hundred dollars for a horse like this would be good."  Well, in a few years you will have no choice but to kill and sell horse meat!¡±  "How about this!" Larick, the owner of the horse farm, said to Fang Yi: "I can lend you this horse, which is considered to be a model for you. I don't want it for one minute, and then you can finish the painting and let me go.  Just take it back! What do you think of this method?¡± ?Jack smiled directly after hearing this: "Not good at all!".  Fang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard what rancher Larrick said. It was so obvious that this evil rancher was waiting for him to complete the work, and immediately used the excuse that this horse had been his model.  , or you can keep it by yourself and make money by taking photos for tourists who come to the ranch, or you can just sell it, and you might easily get rid of it for one or two thousand dollars.  ¡°Let¡¯s do this, let¡¯s take the four hundred dollars away!¡± Old Jack said to the racecourse owner Larrick.  "Five hundred!".  Jack looked at Fang Yi, saw Fang Yi nodded and said to Larrick: "Deal!".  After taking the horse in hand and looking at it, Fang Yi realized that the horse was a gelding just like Mr. Gentleman at home.  Of course, this situation is understandable. This is a racecourse. There is no small racecourse of this size that claims to breed a new horse breed on its own. Even the super large racecourses have few claims to breed horse breeds.  Even if the body looks good, just because it is a mixed breed, the horse will end up with this knife.  Now that he has a horse, Fang Yi also ordered a pair of Mingguang armor and a vest from a domestic handicraft company. Of course, this thing is not really made of iron.  Just do metal work on the plastic. Anyway, the requirement is that it must look like it.  These things were all carried out step by step. Fang Yi and his family members finished celebrating the Chinese Spring Festival and headed towards Florida.  Prepare to be a judge in a portrait contest.  Fang Yi is not only a judge with Henry Popile, but more importantly, Michael Carson, an old friend. As for the other people, Fang Yi is not very familiar with them, and it is not interesting to chat with them, so before coming here,  He specifically asked the organizing committee to arrange a room for him close to Michael.  Fang Yi didn¡¯t think about talking to Bobile, but it was obvious that Fang Yi had made a wrong calculation. When he arrived at the hotel, Fang Yi discovered that Michael Carson lived on the left side of his room.  And on the right hand lives the old man Popile.  The old man also opened another room on the right side of his room for his apprentice. He was simply treating Dean as a servant and follower!  However, there was no displeasure on Dean's face. Not only was he not displeased, but he was also cheerful all day long.  It fully demonstrated the good character that a traditional apprentice should have, not to fight back or scold him.  Fang Yi doesn¡¯t like to see Popile, but that doesn¡¯t prevent the old man from finding him when he has no choice!  There is nothing that Bobil can do about it, since it makes everyone unhappy anyway.  Then find someone a little more pleasing to the eye and take a closer look.  In this way, Fang Yi became the first choice among the old man's neighbors.  Now is the so-called primary election. To put it bluntly, it is a bit like when Fang Yi took the stone art college entrance examination. The works were placed in a large venue, and then the judges looked at them one by one, and then the good works were sent to Fang Yi and others.  The expert team will judge and determine who can enter the finals. The finals will not be notified until March, and then the creation and exhibition of the finalists will be in April.  Fang Yi¡¯s job as a judge was very easy.  Of course, in order to take some responsibility, Fang Yi would also go to the first site from time to time to look at some of the submitted works.  As for the free time, Fang Yi and Michael teamed up to visit the galleries or antique shops here.  Went to several stores.  Fang Yi didn't find anything worth picking up, and even Fang Yi found it difficult to pick it up with his face with high public recognition.  "Ugh!" Fang Yi watched the owner of the ancient painting shop directly offer a price of US$280,000 for a work he asked for, which made Fang Yi dumbfounded.  Fang Yi looked at the shop owner and said, "The price of this work is only 10,000 to 20,000 US dollars, but you can actually offer 280,000 US dollars!"  This is an ancient painting. If no one grabs a work that is even higher than this level in the auction house, it will cost only ten to twenty thousand dollars, let alone two hundred and eighty thousand or even twenty thousand. Fang Yi doesn't want it.  Ten thousand dollars is the price Fang Yi can accept.  The reason why Fang Yi bought such a work was because he planned to ¡®paint¡¯ something when he had nothing to do, not just to buy it, but mainly to please himself!  This is why Fang Yi fell in love with such a small ancient painting. The only thing he liked was that it was 'old enough'!  Fang Yi has no interest in evaluating other things.  ¡°I know who you are!¡± After the shop owner said to Fang Yi, he carefully put the work in his hand back into a box.  Michael looked at the shop owner¡¯s movements and jokingly said to the shop owner: ¡°You can tell the quality of this work at a glance. Which master are you planning to learn from in the early stages?¡±?'s works are reliable?  ". "Anyway, if Mr. Fang likes something, there is no harm in being careful. If you don't understand, there is nothing wrong in taking it and checking it carefully!  "The shop owner put away the painting, glanced at Fang Yi, and then returned to Michael and said. "From my perspective, you can only send this painting to Sotheby's and then give it to Fang to see, because others may not be able to see it like this.  s things!  "Michael said cheerfully to the store. "Michael was referring to Fang Yi's identification of Vermeer's work. This story is a bit magical. The two identical works have been seen and tested countless times.  It's better to look at it this way. It's really difficult for the appraisal circle to find someone as powerful as Fang Yi. Of course, Michael mainly wants to make fun of the owner of the small painting shop.  After hearing this, he actually nodded: "If necessary, I don't mind sending it to Mr. Fang through Softby!  I believe Mr. Fang will definitely tell me the real answer!  ". Fang Yi smiled and said directly after hearing this: "If I ask you about everything here, it will cost you a lot just to send it for inspection!  I can tell you the real answer right now. This is an ancient painting, and I wanted to buy it on a whim.  If you want to keep it, just keep it." After hearing Fang Yi's words, the shop owner couldn't help but laugh twice. As soon as Fang Yi saw it, he turned to look at Michael and said, "How about it, what are you interested in?  No?  ". This means that if there is no interest, let's just change to another store. " Michael laughed as he followed Fang Yi out. However, in the next two painting stores, Fang Yi was recognized at a glance or  When the shop owner or the clerk saw that Fang Yi looked Chinese, he asked directly if Fang Yi was Fang Yi. After doing this several times, Fang Yi felt that he was really not suitable for a place like a painting shop or a small gallery anymore.  They all know me, even those who don¡¯t know me will know when they see my Chinese face. Every time Fang Yi fails to buy anything, Michael is also left empty-handed. ¡°I want to buy some other people¡¯s paintings in the future.  Qiao Zhuang is dressed up!  "Fang Yi stood at the door of his room and said to Michael. Fang Yi decided not to go shopping in the future. "You can also ask someone else to buy it for you!  "Michael joked at Fang Yi. The two of them were just entering the door when they heard the door next to them open, and Popile's head stuck out: "Fang!  I just have a piece of work for you to take a look at!  ". Fang Yi was stunned after hearing this. It's almost over, what else should we read? (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature. The novels are better and updated faster!
