Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 343 Appraisal Master

Amidst the enthusiastic applause, a fat man with a pleasant smile walked over quickly, and stretched out his hand from a long distance away.

"Steven, good afternoon, welcome to the Jamestown Flea Market. I am Wallace, the manager here. It is an honor to meet you! And these few friends"

Ye Tian shook hands with the other party, nodded with a smile and said:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Wallace, I am also very glad to meet you. This flea market looks very good. There should be many treasures. I am very interested!"

"That's right! This is the oldest flea market in Corridor 127. Despite its small size, there are indeed a lot of good things. You will definitely find something here!"

"That's awesome, I'm so looking forward to spotting the baby here!"

"Steven, thank you very much for your actions yesterday, saving those children, no matter what others think of you, you will always be the best friend of Jamestown people"

"You're welcome. The children are innocent. Anyone who encounters them will shoot. Jamestown is such a friendly city. I have fallen in love with it!"

After a few polite greetings, Wallace took his leave and left.

Ye Tian still failed to start the treasure hunt, and many people surrounded him, including local ordinary people and many professional treasure hunters. Everyone was very enthusiastic.

Seeing them approaching, Ye Tian immediately heightened his vigilance secretly, but his face was breezy, smiling towards everyone, very decent.

Walker and the others also raised their vigilance, staring at the people coming through their eyes through the sunglasses. The police and FBI behind were also the same, all a little nervous.

"Steven, you are a good guy, you should teach those bastards who kidnapped the children a lesson and send them to hell!"

A black aunt came up and gave Ye Tian a warm hug, her thick arms made it difficult for him to breathe!

He was followed by a white man in his forties.

"Steven, you are a superhero among the professional treasure hunters, great job! It's an honor to meet you, my name is Barry, I'm from Memphis, and I'm also a professional treasure hunter!"

Afterwards, several people came up to say hello, shake hands or hug, followed by some compliments, which made Ye Tian feel a little at a loss.

Fortunately, most people just nodded friendly,

Say hello and leave.

For the enthusiasm shown by the people, Ye Tian responded one by one, his face almost froze with laughter!

Five minutes later, these people dispersed and Ye Tian was able to start the treasure hunt.

"It's so enthusiastic! I can't stand it anymore. If people in every market are so enthusiastic in the future, it will be a big trouble. How can I bear to attack them?"

While walking towards the booth, Ye Tian jokingly said in a low voice, feeling a little apprehensive.

That being said, if he encounters a good opportunity to pick up leaks in the future, he will still make a move without hesitation and continue to grab wealth.

Business is business and cannot be swayed by emotions!

"hehehe"

Betty laughed lightly, then whispered:

"It is estimated that only the people in Jamestown can be so enthusiastic. After all, the incident happened at their doorstep, and they feel the same. People in other places should not feel so strongly.

Besides, you've earned enough, even if you don't make any major discoveries in the future, that's okay, let's treat it as a tour, as long as the journey is safe! "

"That's right, let's continue to enjoy the treasure hunt!"

Ye Tian nodded, and led Betty to the first booth.

This is an antique dealer's booth, and Ye Tian grasped the general situation with just a glance!

There are no expensive antiques and works of art, only a few good small antiques, and there is nothing to miss!

The stall owner is very clear about his goods, and the antiques with the highest value are placed at hand, obviously attaching great importance to them, and the ones with lower value are placed in the outer position.

By analogy, the outermost periphery is some modern handicrafts, which look good but are worthless at all.

No stock, no missed or neglected treasures sitting on the edge of the booth.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian immediately lost interest in this booth, but he didn't leave just yet.

He wanted to find out the prices offered by the stall owners to see how much water there was, and then make a quotation based on this to facilitate the next action.

If you find something, you can make an accurate quotation and let Bowie come to scan the goods!

"Good afternoon, man, can I see this silver cross?"

Ye Tian pointed to a cross necklace and asked, seemingly interested.

This is a relatively good antique jewelry on the stall. Even if it is an above-average item here, you can definitely find out the price level of the stall owner.

"Hi Steven, welcome to my booth, of course you can see it, you go!"

The stall owner made a gesture of invitation and nodded in agreement.

At the same time, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Sure enough, his reputation was well-deserved, this guy had a sharp eye, and he took a fancy to this relatively good antique at a glance.

I don't know if he is really interested and will buy this accessory?

Ye Tian leaned over to pick up the small cross pendant, put it in his hand and began to play and appreciate it.

It is a silver carved cross pendant from the late nineteenth century, with a faint red gleam throughout, showing its age accurately.

The necklace is slightly blackened and needs a little cleaning.

The style of ornamentation and carving is very obvious, it is Art Nouveau style, and the two French letters on the back indicate that it comes from France.

In addition to the red light emitted by the cross, there are four layers of beautiful halos, showing that it has a certain artistic value, but it is not a masterpiece, and it is not worth much!

This kind of behavior is normal, if it is a masterpiece, it will not appear here, it has long been treasured by the stall owner, or sent to auction!

After flipping through it quickly, Ye Tian immediately started to inquire about the price.

"Hi, this cross necklace is nice, what's the price?"

A gleam of joy flashed in the stall owner's eyes, and he immediately gave the answer.

"Steven, you have a very good eye. This is an art nouveau style silver carved necklace, from France, the price is 2500 dollars"

The price is a bit high, but it's not too outrageous. There is some room for bargaining, and there is no wild asking price.

Ye Tian immediately figured out the stall owner's bidding strategy.

By extension, the prices of other stall owners in the market should be similar, which is relatively fair. Next, you only need to visit a few stalls and verify it, and you can be sure!

Afterwards, if you really find a good unknown treasure, you can work out the most reasonable price and let Bowie come to sweep the goods!

As for the cross necklace in front of him, it is obviously not Ye Tian's goal, so let's leave it to someone who is destined.

"Sorry, I can't accept this price, I'll go to other stalls to see!"

With that said, Ye Tian put the necklace back in the booth, and took Betty to leave.

This is gone? Don't even cut the price? too fast! Or is this antique worthless at all! The stall owner is a bit silly!

Ye Tian doesn't like this necklace, but it doesn't mean that others don't like it.

A female reporter next to her fell in love with this necklace. She had long wanted to receive such an antique jewelry, but she had no chance and was afraid of being deceived, so she was unable to get what she wanted.

Now that the opportunity came, and there was a master appraiser with a sharp vision, she certainly didn't want to miss this good opportunity.

Just when Ye Tian was about to leave, the female reporter immediately said:

"Steven, please explain this necklace, is it an antique? How much is it worth? I like this necklace very much and want to buy it!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and looked over, smiled and nodded at her, without saying anything!

The female reporter took two steps forward, walked to the front of the booth, and said with a little embarrassment:

"Steven, I know this is presumptuous, please forgive me, I really want such an accessory, that's why I made this request, please!"

"I have no problem. I am very happy to help you with this favor, but I don't know if the stall owner is willing. This is his business. If I don't have his permission, then I can't break the rules!"

Ye Tian explained the reason, and then looked at the stall owner.

The female reporter also looked at the stall owner with anticipation in her eyes.

What can the vendor do? With so many people watching, why should I show my demeanor!

Furthermore, he also wanted to see if Ye Tian's level was really as exaggerated as in the legend, his vision was extremely sharp, and he would not miss any treasures!

After thinking for a while, he quickly agreed to the female reporter's request.

"Steven, you can explain this necklace to this lady, I won't mind, and I don't know much about this necklace, I also want to hear your opinion!"

"Awesome! Thank you!"

The female reporter immediately cheered, and then looked at Ye Tian expectantly, waiting for him to start explaining.

The rest of the reporters also became excited, and their eyes began to glow.

correct! With an outstanding appraiser like Steven, if he didn't take the opportunity to collect two antiques, wouldn't he be too wronged? Don't miss this opportunity!

Maybe you can make a small profit, why not do it?

Thinking of this, the reporters were a little ready to move.

Even the following police officers and FBI began to shine their eyes at this moment.

They also recognize this great opportunity to be arty and make a small fortune!

For Ye Tian's vision, everyone was very relieved, never heard that this bastard had the experience of mistaking his eyes, and this time was definitely no exception.

Seeing that the stall owner agreed, Ye Tian didn't refuse anymore, reached out to pick up the necklace again, and began to explain to everyone.

"This is a silver carved cross pendant made of natural materials. The appearance is a bit black, which is caused by oxidation. Go to a jewelry store for professional cleaning, and it can be restored as new without affecting the value.

The traces of oxidation are natural, not artificially aged. From the analysis of the degree of oxidation, the necklace should be more than 100 years old. I can confirm that this is a silver necklace from the end of the 19th century."

A look of ecstasy immediately appeared in the female reporter's eyes, and her gaze at the necklace became even hotter! A posture that must be won.

The stall owner was very shocked, it was so accurate, it was too exaggerated!

He only knew that it was an antique necklace from France. He didn't know exactly when it was made, who made it, and how much it was worth.

Even if the quotation is made, it is based on the workmanship and material of this necklace, and then refers to the auction price of the same period and the same type of antiques, so I don't know much about it!

Hearing Ye Tian give such a clear conclusion at this moment, he was naturally shocked, and his expectations for this necklace have also increased a lot.

However, Ye Tian's next words made his expectations come to nothing.

"Looking at the carvings of this necklace again, there are almost no straight lines and planes, all are very natural curves and organic shapes, and there is a sense of oriental art, which is a typical Art Nouveau style.

The Art Nouveau style originated in Paris at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, and the two French letters behind it clearly reveal where it came from. This is an antique jewelry produced in Paris.

Judging from its material and exquisite workmanship, this necklace is not from a famous artist, but should have come from a well-known silversmith shop in Paris at that time. It has a certain artistic value and collection value.

Based on these, I give an estimate of 1200-1500 US dollars. It is still worth it to win at this price. If it is sent to auction, the price may be higher, but don’t forget there is a commission.

Of course, this is just my opinion. The specific price needs to be negotiated by you. Whether you can make a deal has nothing to do with me. This is the end of the explanation, and the next step is your business! "

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian immediately put down the necklace, took Betty forward, and walked to the next booth.

The female reporter walked towards the frustrated stall owner with ecstasy and high spirits, ready to take down this favorite antique jewelry.

The rest of the reporters, as well as the police and the FBI, followed quickly with bright eyes.

Each of them is tempted, and they are also looking for an opportunity to collect a favorite antique!
