Chapter 1693: Milan Canal Antique Market
This is the last Sunday in November, the day when Milan’s largest and most famous antique market, the Canal Antique Market, is open.
Every day, tourists, antique dealers, art lovers, and countless collectors from all over the world will gather in this antique market to shop for treasures and spend a leisurely weekend here.
The reason why Ye Tian chose to come to Milan at this time was to calculate the time so as not to miss the antique market once a month.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the antique market had just opened, and Ye Tian and the others appeared at the door of the antique market.
After getting off the bus, the group of them walked along the ancient street by the canal, while enjoying the beautiful scenery, talking, laughing and chatting, and came to this antique market with the flow of people.
As before, around Ye Tian and Betty, Cole and several other security personnel built a strong line of defense to protect them.
A few meters away, there are a few Italian policemen in plain clothes and two cultural relic military policemen.
These guys are always on high alert, staring at Ye Tian and the people around them, ready to respond at any time!
Among the crowd, there were several security personnel posing as tourists, secretly protecting Ye Tian and the others.
In addition, on both sides of the Milan Canal, there is a sniper hidden on the top floor of a historical building, condescendingly monitoring the entire canal antique market.
It has been three days since arriving in Milan. Although there were no accidents during this period, Ye Tian still did not dare to be negligent, let alone relax his guard!
be careful and live long! He is convinced of these words left by his ancestors.
In Milan at the end of November, the weather was already very cold.
But at this time, the atmosphere of the Milan Canal Antiques Market was extremely hot, with loud voices, and looking around, there were black heads on both sides of the canal.
There are hundreds of stalls in the Milan Canal Antique Market. These antique stalls are lined up along the streets on both sides of the canal and stretch for nearly one or two kilometers.
In addition to the mobile booths gathered on the last Sunday at the end of each month, there are many antique shops and galleries large and small on the streets on both sides of the canal, and there are also many good things in them.
Although Ye Tian and the others came very early, they came here with a pinch, but when they arrived at this antique market, it was already very lively. Many antique dealers and tourists arrived here early.
Strolling to the entrance of this antique market, Ye Tian and the others did not immediately start shopping for treasures, to check the goods on the nearby stalls.
A few of them came to the nearest small bridge, stood in the middle of the small bridge, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery on both sides of the canal. By the way, they also took a look at the scale of this famous antique market.
"The Milan Canal was excavated at the end of the fifteenth century and the beginning of the sixteenth century. It is a very important waterway in Milan. The section of the river we are currently in is said to be designed by Leonardo.
On both sides of the Milan Canal, there are many historical buildings in the Renaissance style, of which only a few are really from the Renaissance period, and most of the others were rebuilt later..."
As always, Ye Tian once again assumed the responsibility of understanding and speaking, introducing Betty and the others about the history of the Milan Canal and the construction of the buildings on both sides of the strait.
Of course, there is also the history of the Milan Canal Antique Market.
While explaining, he also secretly opened the perspective and began to explore the situation of the ancient canal at his feet to see what he could find.
As far as he could see, the clear river water was instantly seen through, and the situation at the bottom of the river was clearly visible in Ye Tian's eyes.
It's a pity that although this canal has a long history and flows through the heart of the old city of Milan, it has not been cleared how many times in the past few hundred years!
At the bottom of the canal, Ye Tian didn't make a surprise discovery. The only discovery was something thrown into the river in recent decades, which was of little value at all.
The embankment on both sides of the canal is the same. Although it still maintains its original appearance, it is modernly renovated and nothing has been discovered.
After a quick perspective of this section of the canal, Ye Tian retracted his sight and ended the perspective.
Next, they admired the scenery on both sides of the canal for a while, and then walked off the bridge and officially started the raid on this famous antique market.
The moment they walked off the bridge, among the people on the other side of the river, Ye Tian saw a familiar figure, the boy Bowie.
At the same time, Bowie also looked to this side and nodded lightly at Ye Tian. The movement was very subtle and fast, and no one noticed it.
The eyes of the two of them broke apart as soon as they touched, and then they acted separately.
While they were talking, Ye Tian and the others had walked to the first stall in this antique market, stopped and began to check the goods on the stall.
The stalls sold are all second-hand luxury goods, mainly antique handbags of luxury brands, and most of them are genuine.
Among them, there are handbags from various luxury brands such as Hermes, LV, Chanel, PRADA, etc. The styles are relatively old, and the maintenance conditions vary, ranging from good to bad.
As in most antique markets, there are also many fakes.
Among the many authentic handbags in this stall, there are also some high imitation fake handbags, which are perfect, and it is difficult for ordinary people to tell the truth from the fake!
In order to increase the confusing nature, some of the classic style handbags have been deliberately worn out, which looks like they have been used for a while!
Buying these expensive second-hand luxury handbags is also a test of vision. If your vision is not good, you will be deceived.
In the Milan Canal Antique Market, there are many such stalls selling second-hand luxury goods, which can basically be said to be the most popular stall, which is also a major feature of the Milan Canal Antique Market.
Many people who come to this antique market to shop for treasures come for these second-hand luxury goods. Among them are buyers from second-hand stores everywhere and tourists who like antiques or classic luxury goods.
Of course, there are also some tourists who like luxury goods but are shy in their pockets and cannot afford the high prices of the latest models. Most of the tourists who come here for Taobao are mainly young women.
Ye Tian has no interest in these second-hand luxury handbags, but Betty is interested.
Therefore, they stopped and checked the goods on this stall.
Before them, two girls in their twenties were already checking these second-hand handbags on the booth, and they were chattering and discussing in a low voice, excited.
Next to them, there was a boy standing next to each other, both in their early twenties, who looked a bit young and should have not been out of the university campus for long, or they were still students.
The two young men and women are both from China, and they speak fluent Mandarin, which sounds quite cordial.
And this was one of the reasons why Ye Tian stopped. After all, it was a foreign country, and it was a kind of fate to be able to meet compatriots from China.
After standing in front of the booth, Betty immediately looked at the second-hand luxury bags.
Her focus is mainly on the classic women's bags, and she looks at it with appreciative eyes, and does not have a strong desire to buy.
Ye Tian smiled and nodded at the two boys, saying hello.
Looking at the two guys, their eyes were full of excitement, and they were almost dancing.
The stall owner of this stall, several other stall owners nearby, and many tourists from all over the world also saw Ye Tian, and everyone looked to this side.
However, people's eyes are different.
The eyes of those stall owners were full of worry and even fear; the eyes of many tourists were full of curiosity, even full of expectation, and a little worried!
Obviously, these are the masters who watch the excitement and are not too serious, and they are all waiting to see the excitement!
"Good morning, Ye Tian, we saw on the news before that you came to Milan and I didn't expect to meet you here. It's great!"
One of the boys said excitedly, and stretched out his right hand to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian shook hands with this guy, then smiled and said:
"Good morning, buddy, I'm Ye Tian, I'm glad to meet you. Where are you from? How long have you been in Italy? We are also destined to meet you here.
This is the famous Milan Canal Antique Market. Since I come to Milan, I will definitely not miss this antique market, so it is also a necessity for us to meet here."
"Hello, Ye Tian, we are also very happy to meet you. You are a legendary super man, and you are the kind of omnipotent. Today we can be regarded as meeting the true god!
A few of us are from Fudan University in Shanghai. We are currently studying for postgraduates and will graduate next summer. This time we took time out for a trip. We arrived in Milan yesterday! "
Another boy interjected, with the same excitement.
At this time, the two girls also put down the second-hand handbags in their hands, looked at Ye Tian, both of them beamed, full of curiosity, and even a little admiration.
Next, these guys introduced themselves respectively~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ye Tian shook hands with each of them, and introduced Betty.
After getting to know each other and exchanging a few words, one of the girls immediately said expectantly:
"Ye Tian, as everyone knows, you are the world's top antique art appraisal expert. You have a sharp vision. Can you help us look at these second-hand handbags? Give us an opinion.
We are all students at school. We don’t have much money in our pockets. We can’t afford the latest women’s bags. We can only buy second-hand bags. However, we can’t tell the truth from the fake, so we dare not start.”
After speaking, these guys stared at Ye Tian closely, looking forward to his answer.
Ye Tian nodded lightly, smiled and said:
"Well, it's better to be respectful than fate. Since we ran into it here, we are considered destined, not to mention that you hold me so much. If you don't help you, it won't make sense!"
Upon hearing this, these guys cheered immediately.
"Great! Don't worry about buying fakes now"
