Treasure Hunt all over the World

While speaking, Ye Tian and the others had arrived in front of an antique shop.

The location of this antique shop is not far from the intersection, on the ground floor of a two-story historical building that looks quite old. This kind of khaki-coloured building integrating commercial and residential buildings is exactly the 'Khan' in the Egyptian population.

At the entrance of this antique shop, there is a long table and two shelves, which are filled with so-called antique cultural relics and artworks, as well as many modern handicrafts.

Among them are stone carvings, bronze sculptures and wood carvings that seem to come from ancient Egypt, as well as some stone plates and pottery engraved with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and patterns, keys of life and so on.

The most eye-catching thing is the famous gold mask of Tutankhamun, but it is much smaller than the one in the National Museum of Egypt. As for the authenticity, do you still have to ask?

In addition, there are some antique artifacts that appear to be from the period of ancient Greek and Roman rule, including various sculptures, bronze candlesticks, tableware, short swords and shields, and more.

Then there are some Arabic-style antique relics and artworks, such as Arabic scimitars inserted in scabbards, stone carvings, pottery, stone slabs engraved with ancient Arabic, and famous Egyptian hookahs and so on.

The owner and clerk of this antique shop stood at the door of the shop, looking at Ye Tian and the others who were walking towards this side, their eyes were full of curiosity and worry.

Walking closer, Ye Tian quickly glanced at the so-called antique cultural relics and artworks, as well as modern handicrafts placed at the entrance of the store.

Afterwards, he greeted the antique shop owner and the clerk in accordance with the Muslim etiquette, and shook hands with the other party to show his friendliness!

The antique shop owner, who was about fifty years old, was the same. He greeted him, shook hands, and introduced himself. He was very polite and a little nervous.

Next, David and Ahmed, as well as the senior police officer of the Egyptian Antiquities Police, shook hands with the Egyptian antique dealer and introduced each other.

After going through the procedures on these scenes, Ye Tian got to the point.

"Mr. Yusuf, as far as I know, many antique shops in the Khalili market have a long history, even hundreds of years, and have been passed down from generation to generation, with a profound heritage.

The building where your antique shop is located seems to have some history. It should be considered a historical building. If I guessed correctly, your antique shop has a long history! "

Hearing this, Yusuf's Egyptian antique dealer immediately nodded and said proudly:

"Yes,

Mr. Steven, this antique store has a history of more than 200 years. It has been passed down from generation to generation. It has been passed down from generation to generation until now, and it has never moved. "

"Wow! It's an admirable thing to run an antique shop for over two hundred years, Mr. Yusuf, can I have a look at your antique shop? Your stuff looks good, I'm very interested !"

"Okay! Mr. Steven, of course you can go in and visit. Since I'm open for business, I can't turn away customers, let alone you, a top expert in antique art appraisal and a top collector. !"

When saying these words, Yusuf hesitated for a moment, and was a little insincere.

But considering the face and the possible adverse effects, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement, letting Ye Tian enter his antique shop for a visit!

At the same time, he raised his heart to his throat, and became more careful, reminding himself again and again not to be the target of ransacking.

"Yes, Mr. Yusuf"

Ye Tian nodded in response, and a smile appeared on his face.

However, he did not immediately enter the antique shop, but pretended to take a serious look at the so-called antique cultural relics, artworks, and modern handicrafts placed at the door.

After a while, he suddenly reached out and took a copper plate engraved with the head of 'Nefertiti', checked it over and over again, and then said with a smile:

"Before in Berlin, Germany, I saw Nefertiti's head with my own eyes. I admired and studied it carefully. I have to say that the statue of Nefertiti on the copper plate is very well carved and very beautiful. , is almost the same as the original work!"

Before the words fell, Yusuf's face showed a look of displeasure, as did Ahmed and others who were also present at the scene.

There is no other reason. The famous statue of Nefertiti is one of the heavyweight national treasures of Egypt. It is known as the most beautiful woman in the world. Nefertiti herself is one of the most important queens in the history of ancient Egypt!

Such a priceless treasure was stolen by the Germans illegally. In the past nearly a hundred years, the Egyptian government has been pursuing this priceless treasure, but the German government refused to return it!

Because of this, Yusuf and the others felt uneasy when they heard Ye Tian say that he had admired and studied the statue of Nefertiti in Germany, and their hatred for the Germans had deepened a bit.

Of course, from the perspective of the Germans, they claimed that the process of obtaining the statue of Nefertiti was completely legal and there was no problem, and they would never return that priceless treasure!

"Nefrtiti is a national treasure belonging to Egypt, but was shamelessly stolen by the Germans, and refused to return this priceless treasure, so we cannot enjoy this beautiful statue in Egypt.

The copper plate you are holding in your hand is not an antique, but it is a handicraft carefully crafted with traditional Egyptian craftsmanship, and it comes from the Khalili market, so it has a certain value! "

Yusuf continued, and introduced the origin of the copper plate.

Everyone knows that the statue of Nefertiti has only been less than a hundred years old since it was discovered, and this priceless treasure is not in Egypt, so the copper plate in front of me can only be a handicraft, not an antique!

Because of this, Yousuf truthfully told the origin of this copper plate, pointing out that it is a handicraft, instead of insisting that it is an antique cultural relic, which will only attract ridicule!

Ye Tian nodded slightly, then smiled and said:

"That's right, Mr. Yusuf, this copper plate looks very exquisite, and the hand-carved craftsmanship is particularly outstanding. It has obvious Egyptian cultural characteristics, and it is also very good to appreciate.

Let me quote a price, I am going to accept this exquisite copper plate, bring it back to New York, and then put it in the company, it will be a commemoration of this trip to the Khalili market! "

"ah!"

There was a burst of surprise at the scene, from David and Yusuf, including Ahmed and others.

Obviously, Ye Tian's decision to accept this Nefertiti like a copper plate surprised everyone.

Everyone here knows that this is just a modern handicraft, not an antique cultural relic. Even though it is very exquisite, its value is relatively average. Why did Steven accept this copper plate?

"Is this the work of a famous craftsman? It has a certain collection value, but everyone doesn't know it."

Thinking of this, Ahmed couldn't help but look at this exquisite copper plate a few more times, full of suspicion.

Compared with other people at the scene, Yusuf knew the value and origin of this copper plate better.

This is not the work of a master craftsman. Although it is exquisite, it does not have much collection value, and it can only be used as an exquisite decoration.

As for the origin of this copper plate, it comes from a traditional Egyptian handicraft workshop not far away. It has only been made for a few days, and it is still hot to the touch!

Without the slightest hesitation, Yusuf immediately made an offer.

"Mr. Steven, the price of this copper plate is 1,500 pounds (Egyptian pounds). If converted into US dollars, it is 100 US dollars. If you can accept this price, this copper plate is yours!"

"100 dollars, no problem at this price, deal! Mr. Yusuf"

With that said, Ye Tian shook hands with Yusuf, and reached the first deal of the day, buying a worthless handicraft.

Next, Ye Tian took out his wallet, took out a green Franklin from it, handed it to Yousuf, and completed this simple transaction.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at the copper plate again, and then handed it to a subordinate employee behind him, asking that guy to put it away.

After finishing all this, he walked into Yusuf's antique shop and started treasure hunting!

Behind him, Yusuf and David, as well as Ahmed and the Egyptian cultural relics policeman followed in one after another, while the rest stayed outside!
