Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 18 Rodin's Thinker

Hearing the scolding coming from behind, Ye Tianle laughed a few times.

Deserved! Do not commit suicide! Who is to blame?

The stall owner also burst out laughing. Garcia and the others were only idiots.

As for Ye Tian, ​​who was smiling like he was stealing a chicken, the stall owner gave an old fox's evaluation.

Drive away the flies and it's time for a treasure hunt!

Stopping the laughter, Ye Tian immediately pointed his finger at the target he had already determined, and said to the stall owner with a smile:

"Hello, can I see this Rodin's Thinker?"

The stall owner smiled and nodded in agreement.

"You're welcome, but be careful when you move it. This is a marble sculpture, and it's not light."

"I know, I will be careful"

Ye Tian responded, stretched out his hands and moved the sculpture to his eyes.

It is really heavy to start, and the portion is full!

Then Ye Tian began to observe carefully.

That's right! This is Rodin's thinker, the thinker who is regarded as a symbol of the power to transform the world!

Of course, this is by no means the real thing, and the size is not right.

The Thinker's originals are hidden in the Louvre and the Rodin Museum. It is impossible for them to appear in the United States. Even the Metropolis displays replicas.

Although it is a replica, it does not mean that it has no value. As long as it is made by a famous artist, it is a fine work and has extraordinary artistic value.

The white light shining in front of the sculpture shows that it came from around 1920, surrounded by seven or eight layers of halo, indicating that the artistic value is very high, and it must be the hand of a famous artist.

There are no major flaws in the appearance of the sculpture, only some minor bump marks, which do not affect the appearance and value.

This is not what Ye Tian is most concerned about. What he wants to know most now is who is the author of this sculpture?

But unfortunately, I turned the sculpture upside down and didn't find even half a word. Obviously, the famous artist did not sign it, or because it was a replica, he was unwilling to sign it.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian suddenly sighed in his heart.

Without signatures and special marks, it is a replica, and if there is no documentary record and inheritance order, then this sculpture will never sell for a high price, even if it has a lot of artistic value!

It's no wonder that it was ignored and left in the corner and no one cared about it. For a replica with no origin, this is inevitable.

Although a little disappointed, there are more surprises!

In the eyes of others, this thinker is indeed of little value, even a burden.

But it was very valuable in Ye Tian's eyes. Although it couldn't be sold, it would be perfect for experimenting with eye powers!

After the whole body inspection, Ye Tian began to inquire about the price of the stall owner.

"What's the price of this sculpture? I'm short of a tasteful sculpture at home, this one is good, I want to buy it"

The stall owner's eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally had a chance to deal with this heavy garbage.

He immediately opened a price, very real.

"$200, which is the cost of marble, and our hard work, is a very reasonable price!"

Ye Tian was instantly delighted, but he did not immediately nod in agreement, but prepared to counter the offer.

At this moment, Garcia and his friends happened to pass by this stall and planned to leave here.

Seeing them, Ye Tian immediately laughed and said loudly:

"Garcia, aren't you going to bid this time? I'm going to buy something again, Rodin's Thinker! The famous sculpture! What a pity to miss it! If you bid, I'll give it to you!"

"Hahaha"

Everyone around laughed.

Then everyone looked at Garcia to see how he responded.

"Bastard! I don't take rubbish! Especially with such heavy rubbish, I'll leave it to you. If you want to appreciate thinkers, I'll go to Paris, idiot!"

Garcia scolded angrily and hurt Ye Tian a few more words.

Then I left with my friends.

And he still holds today's harvest in his hands, the King of Pirates telescope and the Oscar statuette!

"It's not like a Mexican cowboy! It's so unpretentious!"

Ye Tian laughed loudly and said another sentence, continuing to stimulate Garcia.

"Fake Y! Asshole!"

Garcia let out a roar, raised the middle finger of his right hand, and left without looking back!

Several friends around him did the same, and they all gestured with their middle fingers to Ye Tian.

"Hahaha"

Another burst of laughter.

After the laughter, people dispersed, the stalls set up stalls, the shopping malls.

Ye Tian turned around with a smile and continued to bargain with the stall owner.

"$200 is too much! It's a replica, and without the author's signature, it's worthless, I can only give up to $100, and if I can, I'll pay to move it now"

Ye Tian's counter-offering tone was decisive, with an expression of withdrawing if he couldn't do it.

"OK, $100, deal!"

Without any hesitation, the stall owner nodded and agreed immediately.

The speed was like throwing a hot potato, for fear that Ye Tian would go back on it.

"make a deal!"

Ye Tian smiled and shook hands with the other party and reached a deal.

Then he took out a piece of Franklin and handed it to the other party, pocketing the thinker of the unknown sculptor and turning it into his own power test.

Next, is a hard life.

After saying hello to the stall owner, he carried the heavy thinker and returned to Jason's stall, preparing to put it here first and take it away in a taxi when he left.

Seeing that Ye Tian brought back such an unexplained sculpture, especially when they heard that it was bought for $100, Jason and Miranda were a bit dumbfounded. This was just garbage collection, it was a treasure hunt!

But they didn't say anything, after all, it had nothing to do with them.

After setting up the thinker and chatting a few words, Ye Tian left the second-hand store booth and then swept the Chelsea flea market.

But the good luck seemed to be taken away by Garcia and the others. After that, he never found an opportunity to make him shine. He only picked up a few worthless gadgets in the 1930s and 1940s, and the rest was nothing.

As for the shining treasures in the many antique stalls, he can only sigh and sigh, and there is no chance that the price is high.

Soon it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and it wasn't long before the market closed.

Most of the stalls have been visited, and there are only a few modern oil painting stalls left, at the far west end of the market, next to Madison Park.

The booths are full of modern oil paintings, most of which are studies by students from various art schools in New York, and there are no famous painters.

Any painter with a bit of fame and potential has long been signed by galleries all over the city in New York to their respective banners, and their works may end up in street flea markets.

Ye Tian came here with the attitude of appreciation, and did not expect to find any world famous paintings here.

The fact is as he expected, in his eyes, there is not a single shining work on the painting booth, even if there is a halo, there are very few works of certain artistic value, there is no need to shoot.

After seeing two painting booths in a row, he came to the third one.

When he came here, he hadn't even started to look at the oil paintings, but he saw a familiar figure.

Downstairs neighbor Betty, a sexy blonde who just graduated from college, is now an elementary school teacher in Brooklyn.

At this time, she was with a friend, a black pearl, very beautiful, and the two were whispering about an oil painting in front of her.

"Hey! Betty"

Ye Tian came over and said hello.

Hearing the greeting, Betty immediately turned her head and looked over.

Seeing that it was Ye Tian, ​​a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Hey! Steven, what a coincidence, you come to the flea market too?"

"It's a coincidence, I just came here for a walk when I have nothing to do, I didn't expect to meet you here"

Ye Tian explained with a smile.

"Let me introduce, my friend and my college classmate, Jennifer"

Betty introduced the black pearl around her.

"Hello! I'm Steven, nice to meet you"

"Hey! I'm Jennifer, nice to meet you"

They shook hands with each other, and the three of them chatted.

"Betty, you want to buy an oil painting? Just saw you guys discussing this oil painting"

Ye Tian pointed to the oil painting in front of him and asked.

"Yes, I want to buy one for my family, but I haven't decided which one to buy. Can you give me some advice?"

Betty smiled and nodded, and politely mentioned it casually, but she didn't take it seriously. Who knows if Ye Tian understands oil painting!

"OK!"

Ye Tian responded, and then began to observe the paintings here.

When it comes to oil painting appreciation, Ye Tian is a pure layman, but he can't stand his ability and can see the artistic value of the paintings!

Less than ten seconds after Betty's voice fell, Ye Tian made a judgment and pointed to an Impressionist oil painting next to him and said:

"I think this Impressionist oil painting is good, it's a good gift for my family"

His tone was very positive, based of course on the halo on the painting.

In this booth, and even in several surrounding booths, this is one of the best modern oil paintings.

"Huh! Really? Let me see"

Betty glanced suspiciously at the painting, as did Jennifer.

When their eyes stayed on the painting for a few seconds, they also felt that the painting seemed to be better, and the two immediately walked over there, ready to appreciate it carefully.

Ye Tian was about to leave at this time. The flea market had been completely swept away, and it was time to go back and check the harvest!

More importantly, he wanted to go back and take advantage of today's gains, study the power of the eyes, and strive to gain full control as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he was even a little impatient.

"Betty, Jennifer, continue to appreciate, I have something to go, see you!"

"Ok, see you"

After saying goodbye, Ye Tian turned around and left quickly.

"To be honest, what's your relationship with this handsome Chinese guy? Are you a friend who's going to bed?"

As soon as Ye Tian left, Jennifer immediately revealed her true form and laughed at Betty in a low voice.

"We are neighbors and have no other relationship. He lives upstairs with me, and we run into each other often. Have you fallen in love with him? If so, I can help you ask him out. As far as I know, he is single now"

Betty responded in a low voice, and the two beauties immediately made a mess, completely forgetting the oil painting in front of them!

After returning to the second-hand stall, Ye Tian chatted with Jason and the others, then took the Thinker and took a taxi away, returning directly to his home in Brooklyn.

As for the origin of the antique tableware, Benny has not given an answer yet, so he can only continue to wait. I believe that the answer will be revealed soon.

Sitting in the taxi, Ye Tian kept looking at the statue beside him. The seven or eight layers of halo on the statue made him full of temptation.

There was only one question in his mind at this time,

Can you fully understand the power of the eyes this time? Even completely control this ability!
