Treasure Hunt all over the World

When he got closer, the owner of the antique shop squeezed out a smile, and greeted Ye Tian, ​​speaking French English with a strong accent.

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I have known you for a long time. Welcome to the Saint-Ouen flea market. Welcome to my antique shop. My name is Alphonse, and I am the owner of this antique shop. Nice to meet you!"

Ye Tian shook hands with the other party, and at the same time smiled and said:

"Mr. Alphonse, good morning, I'm Steven, from New York, USA, I'm glad to meet you too, your antique shop is very nice and attractive!

When I entered the door just now, I saw a sign saying 'Professionals only' hanging at the door. In your opinion, am I a professional? Can I come in and take a look? "

It is true that we do not accept non-professionals here, but we are even more unwilling to accept you crazy guy. God knows how many valuable treasures you bastard will take away from me!

How much Alphonse wanted to say this, and directly shut Ye Tian out, but he couldn't say these words, he could only complain in his heart!

At the same time, he was also praying secretly, praying for God to bless him, so that he would not become another unlucky guy in the Saint-Ouen flea market and the object of everyone's ridicule!

"The sign of 'Professionals Only' is mainly aimed at those curious tourists. You are a top expert in antique art appraisal, of course not included!"

Alphonse shook his head lightly, with a somewhat forced smile on his face.

After a few polite greetings, Ye Tian began to look at the situation of this antique shop, and secretly geared up, preparing to continue the frantic sweep of goods and earn a lot of money!

The area of ​​this antique store is not small. The display area open to the public in the front is 80 to 90 square meters, and there are rooms in the back, so the area is unknown.

The antique store specializes in oil paintings. Several walls and display shelves in the store are full of oil paintings created in various eras, styles, and sizes!

There are so many oil paintings in the store that there is no place to hang many oil paintings, they can only stand leaning against the wall or on the display shelf. Except for the aisle and rest area, the rest of the place is full of paintings.

There are classicist paintings from the Renaissance, Impressionist paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and hyperrealist paintings that are popular nowadays, covering a wide range!

In Ye Tian's eyes, these oil paintings radiate various lights, colorful,

Very beautiful!

On almost every painting, Ye Tian can see a charming halo, more or less.

Among them are many valuable masterpieces, which is Ye Tian's goal, but the value of more paintings is relatively average, which cannot make him tempted.

In addition, on a small shelf on the right side of the door, there are some professional telescopic painting tubes and other things related to painting!

Excluding Ye Tian and the others who just came in, there are five people in the store.

Alfonso, two shop assistants, and a middle-aged Caucasian couple who were admiring the paintings seemed to be regular customers here, and they knew Alfonso very well!

As Ye Tian and the others walked into the antique shop, everyone in the shop turned their heads to look at the door. The moment they saw Ye Tian's appearance clearly, the expressions of several people couldn't help but change, without exception.

From the changes in their eyes and emotions, it can be seen that Ye Tian's arrival made each of them a little bit frightened, but also a little bit excited!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian knew the situation of this antique shop clearly!

However, the necessary superficial work still needs to be done, Ye Tian didn't sweep the goods immediately, that would be too shocking, it's hard not to arouse others' suspicion!

Accompanied by Alphonse, he began to admire the many paintings in this antique shop with great interest, and he didn't look much different from other tourists.

In the process of appreciating these oil paintings, Ye Tian kept asking about various information such as the creators of the paintings, the age of the paintings, and the prices, and discussed the contents of the paintings with Alphonse.

As the owner of the shop, Alphonse, although he was extremely reluctant and fearful, he had to introduce the information about these oil paintings in the shop to Ye Tian and offer a price!

Even though the quotation he said was much higher than usual, he was still in a state of panic, because he couldn't guess when Ye Tian would sell it, and he would be interested in that painting!

All he can do is to increase the quotation within a reasonable range and reduce his losses as much as possible, and the rest can only be left to fate!

Twenty minutes passed quickly, the performance time was over, and it was time to act!

Ye Tian walked to a landscape painting he had just admired, pointed to the oil painting hanging on the wall and said:

"Alphonse, if I remember correctly, the landscape oil painting created in the mid-nineteenth century, "Forest of Fontainebleau", the quotation you just gave is 18,000 euros.

I like the landscape depicted in this oil painting better, and I want to keep it in my private collection, so that even if I go back to New York, I can still enjoy the beautiful scenery of Paris!

If you don't disagree, we can trade now, I get this beautiful landscape oil painting, you get 18,000 euros, everyone gets what they want, everyone is happy!

After all, I am not French. After the transaction is completed, you'd better issue a certificate stating the name of the painting and the transaction price, so that I can bring it back to New York!

Anderson is my personal lawyer. He will witness this art transaction between us and sign the transaction contract to ensure that this transaction is legally sound"

Hearing this, Alphonse froze in place, staring at Ye Tian dumbfounded, his eyes full of disbelief!

After a brief shock, he immediately turned his head to look at the oil painting hanging on the wall, and began to carefully examine the painting that had been hanging in his shop for a long time, his eyes full of doubts!

It's a pity that before he didn't know who made that painting, he only knew that it was a landscape oil painting from the mid-nineteenth century. Now that it's been such a short time, he naturally can't see why!

Just now, when he took Ye Tian to admire the painting, he had already quoted the price and other information!

At this time, Ye Tian suddenly turned around to buy this painting, and he didn't intend to negotiate the price at all, what could he do? Did he break his promise and refuse to sell the painting?

If he dared to do that, he would never be able to do business in the Saint-Ouen flea market in the future. Who would trust him?

Besides, so many people at the scene witnessed what happened just now, including a lawyer present. If he breaks his promise and gets fat, then wait for the court's subpoena!

Thinking of this, Alphonse wanted to slap himself twice!

It's so stupid, why did you quote the prices of these oil paintings just now, it's all right now, this bastard Steven took advantage of the loophole!

Things have developed to this point, what else can Alphonse do? He could only watch Ye Tian buy this landscape oil painting! There is no other way!

After carefully examining the landscape oil painting, Alphonse still didn't see the value of that painting.

Then, he withdrew his gaze, nodded helplessly and said:

"Okay, Steven, I can sell this mid-nineteenth-century landscape oil painting, "Forest of Fontainebleau", for the 18,000 euros just mentioned!

There is nothing wrong with signing an art transaction contract and issuing relevant certificates. With the transaction contract and certificate, you can easily pass the customs with this oil painting! "

"That's great! Alphonse, eighteen thousand euros, deal!"

Ye Tian said with a light smile, shook hands with Alphonse, and concluded the deal.

"The deal has been concluded, as long as you complete the bank transfer and sign the transaction contract, you can take this "Forest of Fontainebleau" away, congratulations, Steven!

But I still don't quite understand, why did you only look at this landscape oil painting? Can you explain why? Steven, is this a top-notch work of art that is worth a lot of money?

From your point of view, if it is not a top-level work of art, I am afraid it will be difficult to impress you. However, several friends who have appraised this oil painting and I cannot see the value of this painting! "

Alphonse asked curiously, his eyes were still full of doubts, obviously unwilling.

Not only Alphonse, everyone at the scene wanted to know the answer to this question. Hearing that Alphonse didn't ask, everyone immediately looked at Ye Tian, ​​looking forward to his answer!

"When all the transactions are completed and we are about to leave here, if you still want to know the answer to this question, I don't mind telling you, it's not yet time!

In this antique shop of yours, I am not only interested in this "Forest of Fontainebleau", but also several other oil paintings. The transaction is not over yet, let's continue! "

Ye Tian said with a light smile, but didn't give the answer everyone wanted to hear.

After the words fell, he stepped out and walked towards a display stand in front of him.

At this moment, Alphonse froze in place, his face pale!

How many other paintings are there? Steven, the bastard, took a fancy to those oil paintings again? Is this bastard going to ransack my antique shop? So fucking greedy!

The rest of the people in this antique shop were all stunned at the moment, everyone stared at Ye Tian with wide eyes, and even wondered if they heard it wrong just now!

In two or three steps, Ye Tian walked to a display stand, and began to look down at a painting leaning on the display stand on the ground. It was a surreal painting!
