Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 381: The Raid Begins
"Man, what's the price for this cigar box? Looks good!"
Ye Tian pointed to a cigar box on the booth and asked, showing great interest.
He intends to test the price of the stall owner so that he can make a quotation for the two target antiques.
This is a gloomy wood and pure copper cigar box with simple carved patterns and borders. Judging from the style, it should come from England, and it was in the late nineteenth century. His eyes radiated a dazzling red light.
The cigar box is in good condition and there is no damage. The copper parts are slightly lost in gilt, which is the trace of time caused by the age. It does not damage the value of the cigar box, but adds a little historical flavor.
It's a pity that this is just an ordinary antique, not the work of a famous teacher. The artistic value and market value are relatively average, and the market price is only a little over US$1,000.
The reason why Ye Tian gave this price, apart from his understanding of the market, the main basis is of course the faint three-layer halo on the cigar box.
"Steven, your vision is awesome. This is an antique cigar box from England. The price is 200,000 US dollars. It is very fair and worth the money!"
The stall owner complimented him a bit before quoting the price, and the knife was extremely ruthless!
Ye Tian was stunned when he heard the price.
have to! Another guy who takes his buddy for a win!
Anyway, this wasn't the target antique, and he didn't bother to expose the stall owner, and he wasn't even in the mood to bargain, so let the stall owner enjoy himself! It's also kind of fun!
"$200,000 gloomy wood cigar box! That must have been Churchill's favourite! Priceless! It's so expensive, but alas, I can't afford it!
I'll look at something else,
Maybe there is a vanity mirror used by Queen Victoria here! If there is, it must be a discovery that shocked the world! "
Ye Tian said a few words with exaggerated emotion, and there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
But his eyes moved away from the cigar box and looked at other objects without hesitation for a moment!
"Pfft!"
Betty covered her mouth and laughed lightly, she couldn't help it!
It's overplayed! It's too pompous!
This time it was the stall owner's turn to be dumbfounded, and immediately after, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Of course he understood what the cigar box was like, and also understood how ridiculous his asking price was!
However, asking prices all over the sky, and paying back the money on the ground! You bastard, you didn't even pay back the price, you just changed the target!
What's more, he gave me a sneer, what do you mean?
"Man, what's the price of this cross? Tell me!"
Ye Tian pointed to a cross and asked, still very interested.
But his eyes hidden under the sunglasses were full of smiles.
This is a natural mother-of-pearl parquet oak cross from the early twentieth century, also from the UK, the value is average, $800 is the sky-high!
But in the mouth of this stall owner, who knows what appalling price will be offered! Worth looking forward to!
"Steven, this is a natural mother-of-pearl mosaic oak cross. It is a very good antique from England. The asking price is 120,000 US dollars. How about it? Can you accept it?"
The stall owner smiled brightly again and quoted the price.
This time he was not so confident, and there was a bit of hesitation in his tone.
But he still had a fluke mentality and wanted to cheat Ye Tianyi.
The bastard in front of him is a billionaire, the hair on his leg is thicker than his waist! If you don't cheat you, who will you cheat? Now that you have encountered it, you must not let it go, in case you succeed!
It's a pity that what he met was Ye Tian, a professional treasure hunter countless times better than him, how could he be willing to be a winner! Get tricked!
The stall owner's big dream was shattered in the blink of an eye!
"Dude, did you bring the British Museum here? With the goods on your booth, a new British Museum can be established! What a pity to sell them here!"
Ye Tian exclaimed pretending to be surprised, and made fun of the stall owner.
"Hahaha"
A burst of laughter suddenly resounded, and it resounded through the empty courtyard market in an instant.
Betty, Matisse, Walker, and several stall owners around laughed, and many reporters who just arrived were also bursting with laughter!
Even the police officers, who were in a very upset mood, let out a burst of laughter.
This guy is so bad! That sharp mouth can kill people, no wonder there are enemies everywhere!
While laughing, everyone looked at the stall owner with sympathy in their eyes!
What a poor man! Too bad luck! It's also a little too stupid, it must be a short circuit in the brain!
Who ever heard of this bastard Steven being tricked? It's lucky that he doesn't cheat others, but you actually want to cheat this bastard! Isn't that self-defeating? Who can blame?
Looking at the stall owner again, his face was dark and purple, not to mention how ugly he was! His teeth were clenched, his eyes were blood red, and his anger was almost on fire!
So fucking vicious! The stall owner wanted to jump out of his stall, tear up that damn New York bastard across the way, and throw him to the dogs!
The laughter fell slightly, Ye Tian looked at the stall owner and said again:
"Dude, I'm a professional treasure hunter. I'm confident and have good vision. I still understand the basic market conditions. I'm definitely not the Kaizi you most want to meet!
You'd better ask a real price, so that we can continue to talk, otherwise there is no need to waste time, everyone's time is limited! "
The stall owner smiled awkwardly, his expression becoming uglier.
But business still needs to be done. In the face of real interests, face is not so important.
It's only two hours before Corridor 127 closes. If you can sell one, you'll have to take it home!
Thinking of this, the stall owner could only hold back his anger and raise the price again.
"Okay! Steven, the cigar box is $1500, and the cross is $1000. How about it? Can you accept it?"
From a few hundred or two hundred thousand dollars directly to a thousand dollars, cliff diving, the gap between before and after is too big!
Many reporters and policemen stared at the stall owner in astonishment, eyes full of disbelief.
Several stall owners and professional treasure hunters didn't feel any surprises, including Ye Tian, which is quite normal.
"It's not far from the actual value, but it's still on the expensive side! The cigar box is 300 dollars, and the oak cross is 150 dollars. This is my offer, can you accept it? Dude, if you can, make a deal right away!"
Ye Tian nodded with a smile, and immediately paid back the price, which was very ruthless!
"hiss!"
Everyone gasped.
Everyone was frightened by Ye Tian again, especially those stall owners and professional treasure hunters, felt a burst of fear, it was so cruel!
"Steven, this price is absolutely impossible! The lowest price for a cigar box is 800 US dollars, and the lowest price for a cross is 400 US dollars. It can't be any lower!"
The stall owner's eyes were red, and he suppressed his anger to quote again, and was forced to make some concessions.
"That's a pity. As far as the price I quoted just now, if you can't accept it, then forget it. I'll go to other stalls to see, maybe there will be new discoveries!"
Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders, seemingly quite helpless and regretful.
After finishing speaking, he took Betty and walked to the next booth without hesitation, his steps were very firm, without a trace of nostalgia.
They hadn't taken two steps when the stall owner's painful voice came from behind.
"Okay! It's a deal. The two antiques are worth 450 dollars. I've sold them to you!"
Although the price is very low, the stall owner has to sell it.
He didn't want to take all of these things home with him against a Category 4 hurricane.
Who knows where the antiques are after the hurricane? It’s more practical to change it into US dollars, so that you can buy more disaster prevention supplies! Be more confident when dealing with wind disasters!
And this price is still a bit of a profit, although it is very small, it is better than nothing!
Hearing this voice, Ye Tian immediately laughed, very proud.
Then he took Betty back to the first booth.
The transaction was completed quickly, and the goods and money were cleared!
"Great deal, dude, I love these two bric-a-bracs!"
Ye Tian shook hands with the stall owner and smiled brightly.
"Steven, you are such a bastard, this is just taking advantage of the fire! It's too ruthless! The hateful thing is, I know it's robbery, but I have to nod and agree, what a bad luck!"
The stall owner gritted his molars and said, gnashing his teeth with hatred, but very helpless.
"Hahaha, man, look out! The market is closing soon, the hurricane is coming, I'm trying to help you lighten the burden, you should think so.
When you think about it this way, you will feel relieved, and even feel that you should be grateful instead of complaining or cursing me! Have a nice afternoon, see you soon! "
Ye Tian laughed and said, and then led Betty to the second booth.
"Thank you? Go to hell, you bloody bastard! Bandit!"
The stall owner cursed in a low voice, he was so angry that he was trembling all over.
Soon, Ye Tian and the others had passed through three stalls.
The next two stalls were also antique stalls, and there was no major discovery, and Ye Tian didn't make another move.
He only stopped for a few seconds when he passed by, and glanced roughly at the goods on the booth to see if there were any omissions to pick up, and then looked through them as a whole, and he could grasp all the situations in an instant.
If there is a leak in the booth, he will just point to an antique and ask the price, and then walk away without wasting any time.
After a few meters away from the third booth, Ye Tian began to give instructions through the wireless earphones.
His location is already some distance from the entrance of the market, Jason and the others can enter the market to sweep the goods!
"Jason, Sophie, you are the first group. You will enter the market in two minutes. Your target is the first booth on the right. There are two antiques in total.
One is a pipe rack carved in pure copper, which is an antique from the beginning of the last century. There are two pipes hanging on it, which are very recognizable. The highest offer cannot exceed 400 US dollars.
The second antique is four small German Mason porcelain dolls, packed in a box. The antiques from the 1950s can be recognized at a glance. The highest quotation is 600 US dollars.
During the transaction, you can haggle boldly as much as you can, the stall owner is throwing away the goods, as long as the price is almost the same, it will be sold, it depends on your bargaining level! "
As soon as the voice fell, excited cheers came from the earphones.
"Great! Steven, it's finally our turn to make a move. Don't worry, we will be able to get these two antiques at the lowest price! Make a small fortune!"
"I believe you can successfully take down these two antiques, and enjoy the fun of treasure hunting!"
Ye Tian said with a low laugh, also very excited.
Immediately afterwards, he began to assign the second task.
"Anderson, Raymond, you are the second group, enter the market in three minutes, the target is the third stall, there is only one antique.
It was a pure gilt copper sculpture with the theme of dogs and children playing together. It came from France in the 19th century, and the highest offer was US$1,000.
As I said before, try to bargain as much as possible, the lower the better, don't be polite, I believe you can find the fun of treasure hunting and enjoy this fun! "
Cheers came from the earphones again, very excited!
“Cool! Check out ours and definitely get this sculpture!”
