Chapter 1356: Dig deep hole
The next day, St. Touen's flea market in Paris.
Ye Tian entrusted his team of French lawyers to deal with the transaction of the ancient building on Siti Island. He pulled out and continued to take Betty to visit the city of Paris.
At this time, they are in the second-hand market in Saint-Tuan, Paris, the world's largest second-hand market and the oldest and most famous antique and second-hand market in the world!
At the same time, it is also the birthplace of the flea market, its history can be traced back to 1884.
In the beginning, the poor people living in communities in the northern suburbs of Paris picked up valuable things from the discarded items and set up stalls here to sell them, gradually forming a market.
After some time, this mode of buying and selling was quickly borrowed by the upper class in Paris, who also came to this market to sell high-priced items such as antiques and treasures.
In the next 100 years, this second-hand goods market has continued to grow, and its influence has become greater and greater!
Today, the Santouan Flea Market has become the world's most famous, oldest and largest antique flea market!
There are more than 2500 stalls selling antique art and crafts in Gaoyu, more than 500 large-scale businesses, 13 sub-cities, covering an area of more than 30,000 square meters, and five or six million tourists patronizing Gaoyu every year!
As a professional treasure hunter and an insider in the antique industry, the Saint-Tuan second-hand market is a must-see for Ye Tian on this trip to Paris, and it is absolutely not to be missed!
For him with the perspective ability, this is a huge treasure with a completely open door and no defense at all. You can let him ask for anything and looting wildly!
No, they came to the Santouan second-hand market in just over an hour, and they took a dozen pieces of antique art at very low prices, and each one was very valuable!
In the eyes of many people in the market, the antique artworks carried by Matisse and they were sent back to the car before are not worth a few dollars!
But Ye Tian knows better than anyone, where those antique artworks come from, and what kind of artistic value and market value they have.
As he kept sweeping the goods and ransacking the antique stall owners in the Santouan Flea Market, the news that he came to the Santouan Flea Market spread throughout the market, causing quite a stir!
For his arrival, the many antique stall owners in the Santouan flea market were both worried and excited, and their mood was very mixed!
What is worrying is whether these crazy Yankees will bring danger to everyone, and even turn the Santouan flea market into a battlefield. The **** killing that happened a few days ago is still vivid!
The excitement is that Steven’s **** is a super rich man. He has money in his pocket. As long as he sees antique works of art that fascinates him, he is never stingy with money. This is famous!
Of course, there are also other ideas!
Not long after they arrived at the Santouan Flea Market, Ye Tian had a few more tails behind them. Everyone of those guys flashed greedy eyes, staring at Ye Tian's every move!
These guys are not the thieves that can be seen everywhere in the market, because of the existence of Matisse and the undisguised Paris police, even with the courage of the thieves, they dare not get to Ye Tian!
The guys who followed Ye Tian and them were all treasure hunters and antique vendors who ate at the Santouan Flea Market, and they could be regarded as Ye Tian's colleagues.
These guys all know about Ye Tian's ability to appraise antique works of art. The reason why they are following Ye Tian is simply because they want to use Dongfeng to pick up some omissions and make a small fortune!
If possible, they even want to cut Hus, see the right time, grab two valuable antique works of art from Ye Tian, maybe they will get rich overnight and change their lives!
Ye Tian didn't care about the tails that followed. He just laughed at these guys secretly.
This situation is too common. When he was visiting the antique market in New York before, a group of guys often followed sneakily, trying to pick up leaks or cut off one or two antique works of art!
However, those guys without exception, all fell into his ubiquitous traps, one by one was pitted crying without tears, and hated him, gritted his teeth, but helpless!
After a while, he went to the antique market to scan the goods again. No one dared to follow him to try to take advantage anymore. Everyone was far away from him, lest he would be cheated again!
Obviously, the people in Santouan's flea market have only heard of Ye Tian's incomparable sharp vision, and have never seen it before, but they don't know enough about his endless tricks!
"It seems necessary to teach these guys a lesson, let them learn more, and let them experience the beautiful feeling of being pitted!"
Ye Tian took the opportunity to look back at a stall behind him, and glanced at those peers with flickering eyes, a sharp light flashed in his eyes!
Then he turned back and looked at a booth on the right.
This very ordinary junk stall can be seen everywhere in the Santouan Flea Market!
The booth is about three meters wide, and there is a shed on it. The two tables in the front, the display shelves on the sides and the back display some old goods and specious antique artworks!
In addition, some old books and some beautiful crafts are piled on the ground.
The so-called antique artworks placed on the tables and shelves are true or false. Even if there are a few authentic pieces, they are of little value and not worth the shot!
After a quick glance, Ye Tian completely grasped the situation of the stall.
Although there was nothing exciting at the stall, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he pointed to an item on the stall and asked the stall owner in a slightly excited tone:
"Man, can I take a look at this bronze hourglass? This thing looks very good, with a bit of history, it seems to be some years old!"
"No problem, Mr. Steven, please, just be careful, this is a very good antique, I believe it will make you excited!"
The thirty-something stall owner said with a smile, with a very sincere tone, but a trace of contempt flashed through his eyes.
Top antique art appraisal expert? Don't blow it? How does it look like a mallet!
The trace of contempt in the stall owner's eyes did not escape Ye Tian's eyes, nor did he take it seriously.
After getting the vendor's consent, Ye Tian reached out and picked up the bronze hourglass, and he admired it with a serious expression, his expression was quite serious, and there was a hint of joy!
This is a simple bronze hourglass, about 20 centimeters high, small and exquisite, the upper and lower bases are all round, and three index finger-thick branch-shaped copper pillars connect the upper and lower bases.
Two drop-shaped transparent glass covers are sandwiched between the three branch-shaped copper pillars, and the texture is crystal clear!
The glass cover above the hourglass is filled with some white fine sand. The sand is passing through the narrow pipe and flows into the glass cover below, giving a feeling of time passing!
In Ye Tian's eyes, this hourglass has no value at all. It can only be regarded as a fairly well-done handicraft, which is far from the antique art!
But it was such a worthless thing~www.wuxiaspot.com~ he took it seriously, and even before he knew it, he showed a trace of joy!
All of his performance fell in the eyes of the guys behind, and the eyes of those guys were brightened and excited!
"Looking at his expression, Steven seems to have discovered something again. Is that bronze hourglass a valuable antique artwork? I don't know how valuable it came from that era?"
"Something that can be appreciated by Steven and made him appreciate for a long time is certainly not much different. Maybe it is a valuable antique. Let's go and take a look!
If Steven intends to win the bronze hourglass, we must be the first to take the shot. We have missed several antique works of art before, so we can't miss the opportunity this time! "
With that said, these guys walked over to the stall where Ye Tian and the others were, a greedy light flashed in everyone's eyes.
As everyone knows, there is a big bottomless pit waiting for them in front of them, and they will definitely be able to pit them.
