Chapter 1359: Realism landscape oil painting
When he came closer, the antique shop owner forced a smile and greeted Ye Tian, speaking in French English with a strong accent.
"Good morning, Mr. Steven, long admiring the name, welcome to the Santouan flea market, welcome to my antique shop, my name is Alphonse, the owner of this antique shop, I am glad to meet you!"
Ye Tian shook hands with the other party and said with a smile:
"Mr. Alphonse, good morning, I'm Steven and I am from New York, USA. I am also very glad to meet you. Your antique shop is very good and attractive!
When I entered the door just now, I saw a sign ‘only for professionals’ hung at the door. In your opinion, am I a professional? Can I come in and have a look? "
We do not accept non-professionals, but we are even more reluctant to accept you crazy guy. God knows how many valuable treasures you **** will take away from me!
Alphonse wanted to say that, and he turned Ye Tian away, but he couldn't say this, so he could only vomit in his heart!
At the same time, he was also secretly praying, praying for God's blessing, don't let himself become another unlucky person in the Santouan flea market, and become the object of ridicule!
"The'Professionals Only' sign is mainly aimed at curious tourists. You are a top antique art appraisal expert, of course not included!"
Alfons shook his head slightly, the smile on his face somewhat reluctant.
After a few polite greetings, Ye Tian began to look at the situation in this antique shop, and secretly geared up, ready to continue the frenzied sweeping action, and earn a lot of money!
The area of this antique shop is not small. The display area in front of the shop is 80 or 90 square meters, and there are rooms in the back, so the area is unknown.
The antique shop specializes in oil paintings. The walls and display shelves in the shop are filled with oil paintings created in various eras, styles, and sizes!
The number of oil paintings in the shop is so large that many oil paintings have no place to hang. They can only stand diagonally against the wall or against the display shelf. Except for the aisles and rest areas, the rest are filled with paintings.
There are classicist paintings from the Renaissance era, impressionist paintings from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, and ultra-realistic paintings that are popular nowadays, covering a wide range!
In Ye Tian's eyes, these oil paintings radiated a variety of different lights, colorful and extremely beautiful!
In almost every painting, Ye Tian can see the fascinating halo, more or less.
Among them, there are many valuable masterpieces, and that is exactly Ye Tian's goal, but more of the paintings are relatively ordinary in value, and he cannot be tempted by them.
In addition, on a small shelf on the right side of the door, there are some professional telescopic painting tubes and other things related to painting!
Excluding Ye Tian who just came in, there were five people in the store.
Alfonso, two shop assistants, and a white middle-aged couple who are admiring the paintings, seem to be regular customers here, and they are very familiar with Alfonso!
As Ye Tian and the others walked into the antique shop, everyone in the shop turned their heads and looked at the door. The moment they saw Ye Tian's appearance, the expressions of several people couldn't help changing, without exception.
From the changes in their eyes and emotions, it can be seen that the arrival of Ye Tian made each of them a little frightened and a little excited!
In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian knew exactly what was going on in this antique shop!
However, the necessary superficial effort still needs to be done, and Ye Tian did not immediately start to sweep the goods. That would be too shocking, and it is hard not to arouse others' suspicion!
Accompanied by Alfons, he began to appreciate the many paintings in this antique shop with great interest, which seemed to be no different from other tourists.
In the process of appreciating these oil paintings, Ye Tian kept asking various information about the creators, painting years, and prices of the relevant paintings, and discussed the content of the paintings with Alfons.
As the owner of the shop, Alfons, although he was extremely reluctant and worried, he had to introduce the relevant information about the oil paintings in the shop to Ye Tian and give him an offer!
Even if the quotation he made was much higher than usual, he still had a lot of trouble, because he could not guess when Ye Tian would make the shot and would be interested in that painting!
All he can do is to raise the quotation within a reasonable range and reduce his loss as much as possible, and the rest is left to his fate!
Twenty minutes passed quickly, the performance time was over, and it was time to shoot!
Ye Tian walked to a landscape painting that he had just admired, pointed to the painting on the wall and said:
"Alphonse, if I remember correctly, this landscape oil painting created in the mid-nineteenth century, "Forest of Fontainebleau", you just quoted 18,000 euros.
I prefer the landscape depicted in this oil painting, and want to include it in my personal collection so that I can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Paris even when I return to New York!
If you have no disagreement, we can trade now. I got this beautiful landscape oil painting. You got 18,000 Euros. Everyone got what they wanted. Happy!
I am not French after all. After completing the transaction, you'd better issue a certificate stating the name of the painting and the transaction price, so that I can bring it back to New York!
Anderson is my personal lawyer. He will witness this art transaction between us and sign the transaction contract to ensure that the transaction is legally impeccable"
Hearing this, Alfons was stunned and stared at Ye Tian dumbfounded, his eyes full of incredible!
After a brief shock, he immediately turned his head to look at the painting on the wall, and began to examine the painting that had been hanging in his shop for a long time, his eyes full of doubts!
It's a pity that he didn't know whose work the painting was before, only that it was a landscape oil painting from the mid-nineteenth century. Now in such a short time, he naturally can't see why it is!
Just now, when he took Ye Tian to appreciate the painting, he had already quoted the price and other information!
At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly turned around to buy this painting, and he didn't plan to negotiate a price. What can he do? Don't you eat your promise and refuse to sell this painting?
If he dares to do that, don’t think about doing business in the Santouan flea market in the future. Who will believe him?
Besides, so many people at the scene have all witnessed what has just happened. Among them, a lawyer was present. If he breaks his promise and becomes fat, then wait for the court's summons!
Thinking of this, Alfons wished to slap himself hard!
It's so stupid, why did you quote the price of these oil paintings just now, now it's okay, I was taken advantage of by the **** Steven!
What else can Alfons do when things have reached this point? He could only watch Ye Tian buy this landscape oil painting! There is no other way!
After checking the landscape oil carefully, Alfons still did not see the value of the painting.
Afterwards, he withdrew his gaze, nodded helplessly and said:
"Well, Steven, I can sell this landscape oil painting created in the mid-nineteenth century, "Forest of Fontainebleau", at the price of 18,000 euros just mentioned!
Signing an artwork transaction contract and issuing relevant certificates, there is no problem. With the transaction contract and certificate, you can easily bring this oil painting through customs! "
"That's great! Alphonse, 18,000 euros, deal!"
Ye Tian said with a light smile, shook hands with Alfons, and concluded the deal.
"The transaction has been concluded. As long as you complete the bank transfer and sign the transaction contract, you can take away this "Forest of Fontainebleau". Congratulations, Steven!
But I still don't quite understand, why did you just look at this landscape oil painting? Can you explain why? Steven, is this a valuable piece of art?
From your point of view, if it is not a top-level artwork, I am afraid it will be difficult to make your heart. But I and a few friends who have appraised this oil painting before can't see the value of this painting! "
Alfons asked curiously, his eyes still full of doubts, obviously unwilling.
Not only Alfons, everyone on the scene wanted to know the answer to this question. Hearing that Alfons did not ask, everyone immediately looked at Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer!
"When all the transactions are completed~www.wuxiaspot.com~ when we are about to leave here, if you still want to know the answer to this question, I don't mind telling you, it's not time yet!
In your antique shop, I am not only interested in this painting "Forest of Fontainebleau", but also a few other paintings. The transaction is not over yet, let's continue! "
Ye Tian said with a light smile, and didn't give the answer everyone wanted to hear.
When the voice fell, he had stepped out and walked to a display stand in front.
At this time, Alfons was stunned, his face pale!
How many other paintings are there? Which oil paintings did the **** Steve fancy again? Does this **** want to rob my antique shop completely? Too greedy!
The rest of the people in this antique shop were all stunned at this moment. Everyone looked at Ye Tian with wide-eyed eyes, and even wondered if they had heard it wrong just now!
Within a few steps, Ye Tian walked to a display stand and began to look down at a painting placed on the ground and leaning against the display stand. It was a surrealist painting!
