Chapter 1427: Make a fortune
At noon, Ye Tian and the others only finished half of the Pottery Bell Antique Market, and there were hundreds of stalls left. They had not had time to go shopping, so they could only continue in the afternoon.
At this time, the antique market of Portobello had already become a sensation.
All those who do business in this antique market have heard that Ye Tian is frantically sweeping goods, buying various items on a large scale, and making frequent shots.
It's a pity that they don't know what the value of the items in Ye Tian's pocket is, are they valuable antique artworks? There is no way to know if you have been pitted!
Unlike at the Paris Saint-Tuan second-hand market, except for Betty and others, Ye Tian did not explain the antique art he bought to anyone else, neither publicly appraised, nor evaluated!
Make a fortune in silence! He practiced this famous saying perfectly!
Even if someone asked him what he thought of a certain antique artwork, he remained silent and smiled! Unless it is those antique works of art on the bright side, he will simply comment on it.
Although he doesn't know the value of the antique art he bought, he is well-known in the industry, the experience he has never missed, and the lessons learned from the antique market of Saint-Tuan in Paris.
After hearing that he was scanning the goods frantically, the antique dealers at Port Bello became more cautious.
Each of them had a strong spirit of 120,000 points, and guarded them strictly, lest they would be ransacked by Ye Tian crazily and miss something worthless.
As a result, Ye Tian's frantic sweeping of goods in Port Bello became more and more difficult, and it took more and more time to obtain an antique artwork.
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian immediately reduced the frequency of shots. If it weren't for high-value top antique artworks, he would generally not take shots personally, leaving the opportunity to Bowie behind.
Even if some antique dealers are clever, as soon as Ye Tian and the others leave, those antique dealers will suspend business and begin to re-examine the items in his hands. Ye Tian is not worried about missing any treasures.
Not today, isn’t there still tomorrow and next week!
As long as the Portobello antique market is still there, as long as the antique shops and galleries and various stalls are still there, those treasures can't run away.
You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder!
Limited by eyesight and professionalism, those treasures that antique dealers hadn't found before may not be able to find them now. It is impossible to send all the items in their hands for appraisal!
After coming out of a shop selling antique cameras, Ye Tian raised his hand and looked at his watch, then smiled and said to the people around him:
"It's almost time, and it's time to have lunch. We can take this opportunity to have a good rest, recharge our energy, and continue to visit the remaining antique shops, galleries, and various stalls in the afternoon.
There is a restaurant in front. Let's go there for dinner. Due to time constraints, we will just have a bite at noon. When we return to the Ritz Hotel in the evening, we will have another celebration banquet to celebrate and return! "
With that, Ye Tian pointed to a restaurant facing the street not far in front, and then led Betty to walk over there.
The others followed and walked to the restaurant together talking and laughing.
While they were talking, the group of them had already walked to the restaurant, chose an open-air table on the side of the street, chose their own seats, and sat down one after another.
The security personnel who followed them were also scattered at a few tables, and some sat in the open-air dining area of the cafe across the street, close to here!
As for the London policemen in plain clothes, they can only stand on the side of the road not far away, staring at this side with a gloomy expression, wondering how to curse Ye Tian!
Ye Tian and the others just sat down, before they had time to greet the waiter to order, a strange voice suddenly came from nearby.
"Excuse me, Mr. Steven, can I ask you some questions?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and looked over.
The interrogator was a middle-aged white man sitting at a dining table not far away!
About an hour ago, the two parties met in a gallery in the Port Belle Antique Market. They were familiar faces.
When Ye Tian and the others entered the gallery, the middle-aged man was admiring the paintings inside. When they saw a few of them walk into the gallery, they nodded to each other with Ye Tian.
In that gallery, Ye Tian harvested a very good painting, and the white man happened to admire that painting.
Seeing that it was him asking at this time, Ye Tian knew instantly what he wanted to ask.
There are basically three categories of people who come to the antique market in Portobello.
The first kind of people who have a retro plot, like antique art, and come here to buy treasures, also include some artists.
The second type is Wenqing who has a beautiful fantasy about love and a serious literary plot, who came here to visit the footsteps of the movie "Notting Hill".
There is another kind of people who come here to enjoy food from all over the world.
From the temperament and a series of performances of this buddy, Ye Tian can basically be sure that this buddy is the first type of person, an artist living in London, and a frequent visitor to the Port Belle antique market.
"Hello, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon, what do you need to ask? If I can answer and it is convenient to answer, I will be very happy to answer your questions!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said, giving an ambiguous answer.
"Okay, Mr. Steven, you are a top antique art appraisal expert. You are known for your sharp eyes. You have never heard that you can answer my question after seeing it.
In the gallery just now, the pop art painting you bought for five hundred pounds. Is it the work of Richard Hamilton, the father of pop art?
When I saw that painting before, I was a bit suspicious that it was a work in Richard Hamilton's prime, but I was not sure, so I didn't buy the painting.
Just when I was thinking secretly and hesitating, you walked into that gallery and quickly bought the pop art painting. I hesitated no more.
When I left the gallery, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was a painting by Richard Hamilton. If my guess is correct, it must be a valuable and top art! "
The middle-aged white man said eagerly, his eyes full of expectation and a bit of regret.
After saying this, he immediately stared at Ye Tian, looking forward to hearing the best answer.
Ye Tian chuckled softly, his eyes faintly smug.
You guessed it, buddy, it is indeed the work of Richard Hamilton, the father of Pop Art, and it is a painting at the peak of his artistic career, worth at least eight million dollars!
But can I tell you the answer? That's nothing at all!
At least until sunset today, except for these few people around me, no one else would want to know the true information of that pop art painting!
When the setting sun sinks, the sweeping operation is successfully completed. If you guys are in a good mood, maybe you will announce today's harvest and stimulate the people in the Pottery Bell Antique Market! Also stimulate the British counterparts!
"I'm very sorry, buddy, it is not convenient to disclose the information about that pop art painting at the moment, but what I can tell you is that it is a very good piece of art, and I like it very much!
Because of this ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I took down the painting. If you insist on knowing the relevant information of the painting, then pay more attention to my news, and I will announce it later"
Ye Tian said with a smile, without giving a clear answer.
But from what he said, the middle-aged white man seemed to have heard something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of regret appeared immediately.
After a few more conversations, the two parties ended the topic, turned their heads back, and chatted with friends around them while waiting for lunch.
At the same time, in an antique shop about sixty to seventy meters away from the restaurant, Bowie opened the door and walked out, carrying a slightly old wooden box in his hand.
The moment he walked out of the antique shop, Bowie looked here, and gave Ye Tian a slight nod in greeting, his eyes full of triumph.
Ye Tian also nodded lightly, the meaning is self-evident!
