Treasure Hunt all over the World

The call was from Robert, an old friend of Sotheby's.

As for the purpose, you don’t need to think about it, it must be for two sculptures by Giacometti!

The news that I found two heavy treasures should have spread, and everyone even knew about it! With so many journalists and professional treasure hunters behind him, there are no secrets!

Before answering the phone, Ye Tian knew it in his heart.

"Hello, Robert, why did you think of calling me? What's the matter? I don't have any handicrafts to send for auction recently, I'm afraid I will disappoint you!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, teasing the other party knowingly.

"Good morning, Steven, you very lucky guy, I'm not calling for fine arts and crafts, but for those two Giacometti sculptures in your hands!"

Robert said excitedly, without any detours, and went straight to the point!

"Ah! The news spread so fast! Even you in New York know it! It's an information age! It's so fast!"

Ye Tian feigned surprise and sighed, admitting the existence of the two sculptures.

"The news that you found two pieces of Giacometti has spread completely, and has already caused a sensation in the collection world. This news is really shocking and incredible!

At this moment, the two Giacometti sculptures are definitely the central topic of all collectors, and you are the focus of everyone's attention, including our auction house! "

"Hahaha, is that an exaggeration? I'm flattered!"

Ye Tian laughed and said, very proud.

"Dude,

That's Giacometti! An artist among artists! No exaggeration is too much! How many people dream of art treasures! Absolutely crazy!

Tell me about these two sculptures, are you sure they are Giacometti? If it is confirmed, our auction house wants to take over the business and auction these two sculptures on your behalf! "

“Of course it’s Giacometti, I’m pretty sure of that, a piece from the late 1920s, a piece from the mid-1930s, brought back from Europe by WWII veterans!

I have no objection to entrusting you to Sotheby's auction. Even if you don't contact me, I will contact you later, but I didn't expect you to move so quickly.

I don't want to walk through the 127 Corridor with a treasure worth tens of millions of dollars. It's too dangerous, and it will drive countless bastards crazy! "

"Great! As long as you say it's genuine, you must be right. Your appraisal level is top-notch. We will send someone to go to Corridor 127 to appraise and receive it!"

"You fly directly to Russell Prince, where we will settle down tonight, and David will contact you later to discuss the details of the entrusted auction contract.

I will send you the detailed photos of the two sculptures later, you should do a preliminary appraisal first, I believe these photos will bring you great surprises!

One thing I am surprised, why are you calling me? Instead of being the head of the sculpture department, did you change the business department? The span is a bit big, right? "

"Hahaha, I knew you would ask this question. The head of the European Contemporary Sculpture Department is not in the United States at present, and they are not familiar with you, so I am the one to contact you.

Those who meet you later will be the people from the European Contemporary Sculpture Department, as well as appraisal experts and security personnel. After completing the preliminary appraisal, they will set off immediately, and they will definitely arrive at night! "

After chatting for a few more words, the two parties ended the call.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Tian immediately turned the lights inside the car to the brightest, and began to take pictures of the two sculptures. Every angle and every detail was clearly captured without missing anything!

After taking the photo, he immediately sent it to Robert and also sent a copy to David, just in case!

Then, he started talking to David on the phone again, asking him to review the consignment auction contract and complete various legal procedures.

David didn't plan to follow him this time, he planned to send an assistant lawyer over to follow Ye Tian the whole time, handling various legal affairs, so as not to toss back and forth again!

This is what Ye Tian wants to see the most, there is no doubt that there is another layer of firewall in front of him.

Twenty minutes later, Robert called again, and they came to a preliminary identification conclusion.

As expected, the preliminary identification by Sotheby's sculpture experts showed that the two sculptures were indeed works of Giacometti, and the age was also in line with Ye Tian's judgment.

However, in order to form a final identification conclusion, it must be after the identification of the real object. It is just a matter of time and procedures, and there is no other result at all.

Surprisingly, the people in the sculpture department found a photo of one of the sculptures in relevant literature, which will definitely make the sculpture more valuable and more attractive!

The convoy has been stopping and going on Highway 127, heading south.

As before, whenever he passed the courtyard market along the way, Walker would lean over his car and drive slowly past the market stalls.

Taking this opportunity, Ye Tian will quickly scan or see through these booths, not to miss any treasure or any opportunity to make a fortune!

They passed through more than a dozen small courtyard markets, about forty stalls, and found some valuable things, including antiques and works of art.

But the value of these antique works of art is not worth letting Ye Tian sell them himself.

And the extremely cautious expressions and green eyes of those stall owners also made Ye Tian understand that it is definitely not a wise move to buy these low-value things by himself!

As long as you walk to the booth, these stall owners will be extremely cautious!

They're probably already ready to ask for extravagant prices, or they're ready to go back on their word at any time. All in all, they'll never let themselves take advantage of anything.

The previous method of 'clearly repairing the plank road and secretly keeping Chen Cang' will not work, and the lessons learned from the past are not far away! These stall owners have already seen the video!

So although Ye Tian got out of the car many times along the way, he just wandered around casually! Didn't buy anything, just like a tourist, leaving everyone scratching their heads!

During this period, he secretly pointed out the following professional treasure hunters several times, let them have a taste of the sweetness, bought a few antiques that were not discovered by the stall owner or whose value was underestimated, and made a small profit!

After all, I promised to compensate these guys, so I can't renege on my promise!

But his advice is limited, once per person, without exception! Moreover, the value of the antiques he pointed out was also limited, and the maximum profit would not exceed ten thousand dollars!

Even so, those professional treasure hunters are happy to see eye to eye! They all cast their eyes on his admiration, and strengthened their determination to follow him through Corridor 127.

For these guys, money is a secondary issue, what they value more is Ye Tian's sharp vision, everyone wants to learn something from it!

In this way, Ye Tian and the others led everyone to stop and go southward, the speed was not slow!

But what everyone didn't know was that about 10 kilometers behind them, a Ford Raptor pulled an RV and was heading south along the road they had walked.

This is Bowie's pickup, and he and Ye Tian secretly cooperated in sweeping the 127 corridor.

The mobile phone in his hand, which is specially used to contact Ye Tian, ​​will now beep the text message notification sound from time to time, and Ye Tian's latest instructions will come.

All the most detailed information, such as the coordinates, the booth, the specific item, the quotation range, etc., will be sent quickly through text messages.

As long as Ye Tian took a fancy to valuable antiques and artworks, he didn't miss any of them! As for those second-hand goods, they are simply out of sight!

After receiving these messages, Bowie will immediately drive there according to the GPS instructions, and the positioning is extremely accurate!

What followed was a frenzied raid.

Bowie would wipe out every yard market, every stall, every hidden treasure of value he passed, leaving nothing behind!

Betty is the only one who knows that Ye Tian and Bowie are frantically sweeping up corridor 127!

Along the way, you have to send text messages, use GPS to locate, and you are in the car, so you can't avoid Betty at all. You can't let her think that you are empathizing with someone else!

So after sending the text message for the first time, Ye Tian told her about the arrangement of this operation, including all the details, including the relationship between himself and Bowie's former colleagues.

After listening to his explanation, Betty was completely stunned!

What a crazy plan this is! What a meticulous operation! Woe to all the antique dealers and second-hand dealers in Corridor 127!

It is entirely conceivable what the world's largest courtyard market will be like when this trip to Corridor 127 is over!

At that time, not to mention corpses everywhere, I'm afraid it won't be much different!

With this chilling and tight cooperation, all unknown and valuable antiques and artworks along the way will surely fall into Steven's hands, without exception!

And what those antique dealers and second-hand dealers harvested, apart from very few dollars, I am afraid there are only tears left!

Seeing that Ye Tian finished sending messages to Bowie again, Betty couldn't help feeling emotional.

"Honey, I sympathize with the antique dealers and second-hand dealers in Corridor 127. They are so pitiful! They are about to be swept away by you and Bowie!"

"Hahaha, don't need to pity them, this is how this business is, relying on your eyesight to make a living, my eyesight is sharp, then I can kill all directions, as long as it is not illegal, no one can say anything!"

Ye Tian loaded the phone and said with a big smile, confident and full of murderous intent.

Then he turned on the intercom and said:

"Guys, go into Danville and go to lunch, and I need to ask these reporter friends behind for a favor!"
