Treasure Hunt all over the World

The third thousand one hundred and eighty-six chapters quadruplet

"What's the price of this sculpture? Can you tell us about it?"

In the market, Ye Tian stood in front of an antique and second-hand goods stall, pointing to a bronze sculpture and asking.

This is a human-shaped sculpture, small in size, rusted on it, and exaggerated in figure, which is more eye-catching.

Following his words, the stall owner suddenly became a little nervous.

He did not respond immediately, but carefully looked at the rusted bronze sculpture, re-evaluating the value of that thing in his heart.

It's a pity that he didn't find anything new. The bronze sculpture was quietly placed on the booth without any change.

Others at the scene looked at the sculpture with curiosity.

The same is true of the people watching the lively nearby, all staring at the bronze sculpture, but they don't know the source of the thing and how valuable it is.

There are some guys in the crowd who are about to move, ready to take action at any time, trying to cut off Ye Tian's Hu.

This has happened before, and more than once.

A few times before, Ye Tian didn't get angry because he was cut off, and he didn't protest anything.

He just smiled slightly, then turned and left.

This made the guys who cut him feel uneasy, and they couldn't help but wonder if they were deceived and spent a lot of money, but ended up buying a piece of junk.

As a result, the next time such an opportunity arises, they tend to be much more cautious and dare not take it lightly!

However, there are too many people staring at Ye Tian, ​​and there are always guys who are not afraid of death, rushing up one after another.

These guys all have the same goal.

That is to buy a piece of top antique relics or works of art, so as to become rich overnight and completely change your life.

But how do they know how much the things they buy are really worth!

After pondering for a moment, the stall owner made an offer.

"Hello, Mr. Steven, the price of this bronze sculpture is forty thousand dollars, if you can accept the price, it belongs to you!

I don’t know much about this bronze sculpture, but judging from the degree of rust on its exterior, it should have a certain history, I believe you can see more.”

Before he finished speaking, everyone at the scene turned to look at Ye Tian.

Even the stall owners and customers in the surrounding stalls stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look here.

This has become a landscape in the market, and everyone is staring at one person's movements.

And this kind of scene everyone is accustomed to, and there is nothing wrong with it.

In fact, this scene has appeared since Ye Tian and the others entered this antique and second-hand market just now.

Ye Tian shook his head and said with a smile.

"Forty thousand dollars, this price is too high, I can't accept it. For this bronze sculpture, I will offer a maximum of fifteen hundred dollars. If you can accept it, we will make a deal."

A look of regret flashed in the eyes of the stall owner, and he also had some doubts.

After hesitating for a moment, he made a new offer.

"Thirty thousand dollars, Mr. Steven, this is the lowest price, what do you think?"

"Forget it, I still can't accept this price, I hope you can sell it at an ideal price, goodbye"

Ye Tian shook his head and said, then turned around and left the booth, and continued to walk forward.

Just as he turned to leave, his eyes quickly glanced at another thing on the booth, and no one noticed it at all.

As soon as he left the front foot, several guys came to the booth on the back foot.

"Man, I want this bronze sculpture. The price is $3,000, which is double what Steven's bid."

"I'll offer five thousand dollars, man, sell me this bronze sculpture!"

"Six thousand dollars, this thing belongs to me"

Several guys competed directly, all trying to take down the rusted bronze.

the other side.

Ye Haiya hurried a few steps, came to Ye Tian, ​​and then asked in a low voice:

"Steven, can you tell me about the bronze utensil just now? Is that thing an antique relic, is it valuable, and how much is it worth?"

Ye Tian looked at the old friend, then smiled and said:

"It is indeed an antique relic. To be more precise, it is an antique bronze ware manufactured during the period from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century. After more than a hundred years, it has also become an antique relic.

It is estimated that people made that thing in order to deceive European explorers and archaeologists who came to Africa to play or explore treasures. Its shape has the characteristics of typical North African bronzes.

The rust marks on the bronze ware were also artificially made, and the technique was very clumsy, but after being buried in the ground for more than a hundred years, it has become very realistic, and almost no flaws can be seen! "

"what!"

Yahya exclaimed in a low voice, obviously taken aback by the answer.

Then, the guy said in surprise:

"Since it's a fake, the value must not be high. Why did you ask the price of that thing again? Could it be that you're digging a hole to set up a game?"

At the same time as saying these words, Ye Haiya is actually very sure of his own judgment.

There is no doubt that this guy, Steven, is digging a hole and making a hole, and he is digging a hole for the guys who are staring at him and trying to cut the beard.

Not only this imitation bronze ware, but also those so-called antique cultural relics and works of art that were cut off by others before, must also be a trap.

The guys who bought the so-called antiques were all tricked by the cunning guy Steven.

Waiting for those guys to react, it is estimated that each of them will be half-hearted and want to cry without tears!

But they can't blame this guy Steven, let alone making trouble, everything is greedy, they brought it on themselves, and the consequences can only be borne by themselves!

David standing aside, as well as several brave and fearless exploration company employees and security personnel, all smiled schadenfreude!

Seeing their performance, Ye Haiya was suddenly stunned.

It turns out that these guys have long known that Steven, this bastard, is constantly digging holes, and only they are still in the dark!

For Ye Haiya's question, Ye Tian categorically denied it.

"Didn't I say that although the bronze ware has a very short history, it is still an antique relic, and it has the characteristics of a typical North African bronze ware.

That's why I wanted to buy it, and it's nice to bring back to the company as a decoration, but it's only worth $1,800 at most! "

Hearing this, Ye Haiya immediately rolled his eyes angrily.

You **** lie to the ghost, probably the ghost will not believe what you say!

While they were talking, Ye Tian and the others had arrived at the door of another antique store, and then pushed the door and walked in.

As soon as they entered the door, a Moroccan official who stayed outside immediately took out his mobile phone and walked to the side to make a call.

It can be seen that this guy's eyes are full of anxiety, and his eyes are also full of remorse.

After a while, an angry swearing sound of gnashing teeth suddenly came from not far behind.

"Damn it, this cunning bastard, so **** nasty!"

Hearing the curse, several brave men outside the antique store, employees and security staff of the Fearless Exploration Company, couldn't help but chuckle.

Of course they knew who the furious guy in the back was scolding!

Besides Ye Tian, ​​who else could it be?

in an antique store.

Ye Tian was visiting and appreciating the things displayed here, and he didn't know what was happening outside.

This was all within his expectations, and he wouldn't care if he knew it.

He had long known that among the Moroccan officials behind him, someone was constantly passing on messages, but he did not point it out or stop it.

Instead, he used his own methods to dig traps for those guys and trick them.

The area of ​​this antique store is not large, but there are a lot of things in the store, and it is full of piles.

Among them are sculptures, pottery, bronzes, oil paintings and other so-called antique cultural relics and works of art.

The origins and styles of these goods vary, from Europe and the United States, to the Middle East and Asia, and most naturally local goods.

While talking, Ye Tian and the others had come to a display wall.

This display wall occupies an entire wall of the antique shop, and there are more than a dozen landscape oil paintings of different sizes hanging on it.

Among them, Moroccan landscapes are the main ones, and there are not only those depicting the sea, but also villages and fields, as well as desert landscapes, and so on!

In addition to this, there are four oil paintings depicting the landscapes of Andalusia, Spain.

Moreover, these four oil paintings are a series, and the paintings are still in the same place. From spring to winter, the four seasons are distinct.

The buildings and landscapes in these oil paintings are different from those of Moroccan landscape oil paintings, and there are many similarities, so it is not difficult to identify them.

When he came to the display wall, Ye Tian stopped and admired it.

The owner of this antique shop stayed by the side, with a bit of worry and anxiety in his eyes.

Yahya and David were standing beside them, admiring the landscape oil paintings hanging on the display wall.

Professor Paul and others went to study a stone tablet on the ground.

There are a lot of words and patterns engraved on the stone tablet, describing some things, it is what they like to see the most, naturally they will not miss it.

After admiring the oil paintings on the display wall for a while, Ye Tian suddenly asked in surprise:

"These Andalusian landscape paintings seem to be a little older, and the paintings are not well maintained, with a lot of cracks on the surface and mildew spots on the frames.

How is this going? If I'm not mistaken, these Andalusian landscape paintings have only recently been put here, and they may have been in some damp warehouse before."

The antique shop owner froze for a moment, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"That's right, Steven, these four Andalusian landscape paintings were just received in December last year. Before I received these four paintings, they had been in the warehouse and were in really poor maintenance.

[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, Mimi Read, install the latest version. 】

After receiving these four oil paintings, I rescued them and removed a lot of moldy traces, but I am not a professional in this field.

As for the age of these four oil paintings, I preliminarily judge that they are in the middle and late 19th century, but I don’t know the exact era and which artist’s work, and there is no artist’s signature on the paintings.”

"Fortunately, you found these four oil paintings and bought them. Otherwise, they would be completely destroyed in just two or three years. It's a pity!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded.

Immediately afterwards, the antique shop owner asked expectantly:

"Mr. Steven, you are the top expert in the appraisal of antiques, cultural relics and works of art. You have a very sharp eye. Everyone knows this. What do you think of these landscape oil paintings?"

Ye Tian looked at the shopkeeper, but did not answer immediately.

He leaned forward again, pretended to study these four landscape oil paintings seriously, and then fell into deep thought.

After a while, he said:

"I can't see much in these four Andalusian landscape paintings either, but I'm sure they should be the work of a Spanish painter.

If it is a painter from other countries, it is difficult to stay in the same place in Spain for a whole year, painting four landscape paintings in different seasons.

You must know that the center of painting art in the nineteenth century was France, not Andalusia, Spain. Most of the top painters gathered in Paris, France.

It can also be confirmed that these four landscape oil paintings have similar shadows of expressionism, but they are paradoxical. Expressionism is emerging in the 19th century!

I have some speculations about these four landscape paintings, but it is not appropriate to say them here, because I want to buy them and take them back to study!

Landscape oil paintings like this, created many times in the same place, and the four seasons are distinct, so I don't see many, which is one of the reasons why I want to buy them! "

"what!"

The antique shop owner exclaimed, and a flash of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.

These are four landscape oil paintings he collected as garbage, and the cost is almost negligible.

As long as you can sell it, you will earn it. It is a matter of earning more and earning less!

Now I hear that Ye Tian intends to acquire these four landscape oil paintings~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Can he not be excited?

Before he could respond, Ye Tian continued:

"What is the quotation for these four Andalusian landscape oil paintings? If the price is right, I am willing to buy them in a package and take them back to study!"

Hearing this, the antique shop owner fell silent.

He looked at the four oil paintings hanging on the wall again, his eyes full of doubts and incomprehension.

Why did this guy Steven fall in love with these four landscape oil paintings? Could it be that this is the work of a certain top artist, four pieces of top art that are invaluable?

Thinking of this, he immediately used his brain and leaned the four landscape oil paintings against those top art masters to see if he could find anything!

But no matter how much he racked his brains, he could not think of any top artist whose style matched these four landscape oil paintings.

What's more, in the mid to late nineteenth century, Spain also doesn't seem to have very famous painters.

Several of the famous painters basically stayed in Paris, and their artistic styles did not match!

This makes it difficult for antique shop owners, and they can't find an excuse to set a sky-high price!

After thinking for a moment, he still tentatively made an offer.

"Mr. Steven, these four Andalusian landscape paintings are $20,000 each, for a total of $80,000. If you accept the price, you can take them away!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Tian stretched out his right hand.

"Okay, four paintings for $80,000 are sold. Just because they are from the 19th century and they are landscapes of the four seasons, they should be worth the price!"

Looking at the antique shop owner again, he was stunned! Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
