Chapter 1697: Vulcan with beheaded
Ye Tian shook hands with the antique shop owner, then smiled and said:
"Edmundo, you are busy first, greet these two guests, leave us alone, let's take a look at the things in your antique shop"
"Okay, Steven, please, if you need it, just greet me."
Edmundo nodded in response, then turned back to deal with the two guests before.
Ye Tian and the others looked at the things displayed in the store, including antique artworks from different eras, regions and styles, as well as many imitations and modern crafts.
In the process of appreciating these things, Ye Tian also whispered relevant knowledge to Betty and the others, as always professional and accurate.
Of course, the things he introduced and explained were all antique works of art that Edmundo certainly knew and understood their value on the bright side.
If he encounters a possible leak, he will naturally skip it so as not to expose the flaw.
A few minutes later, two other customers in the store finally completed the transaction.
They bought a landscape oil painting, which painted a landscape in the Alps, for less than one thousand euros.
Although the transaction was over, they didn't leave the antique shop immediately, but looked at Ye Tian's side, curious and enthusiastic.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree!
Ye Tian is now the focus of attention in the Milan Canal Antique Market, and even Milan as a whole.
Moreover, he is also the world's top antique art appraisal expert and the most outstanding professional treasure hunter, with a great reputation!
I can see him buying and selling antique art on the spot. As art collectors, those two guests are willing to let this opportunity go!
After dealing with the two guests, Edmundo immediately walked over to Ye Tian, full of anxiety and worry.
When he came to the front, Ye Tian immediately reached out to a marble sculpture head placed on the ground, and asked curiously:
"Edmundo, what's the matter with this head? If I'm not mistaken, it should be the head of Hephaestus, the **** of fire. Where is the torso of this sculpture? Why is there only one head left?"
The marble head he was referring to was the remnant of a sculpture. Only the head above the neck was left. The saw marks on the neck were very obvious and covered with dust. It should have been a long time since it was cleaned!
As for the image of Hephaestus, the **** of fire, anyone who has studied ancient Greek mythology should be able to recognize it, let alone Ye Tian!
Edmundo looked at the marble sculpture head, then looked at Ye Tian deeply, and then said:
"You are right, Steven, this is indeed the head of the **** of fire and Hephaestus in ancient Greek mythology. It is a sculpture that I collected from the village of Milan.
When I received this sculpture, there was only the head. As for where the torso of the sculpture went, there is no way to verify it. The original owner of this sculpture head didn't know.
Perhaps a long time ago, the torso of this Vulcan sculpture was lost or shattered by someone. Only this portrait has been preserved and has been passed down to this day.
Because the torso of this sculpture is missing and there is no mark on the head, although we have researched it, we cannot be sure that it came from the sculptor.
Judging from the creative technique of this marble head, it should be created after the Renaissance, which is clearly different from the sculptures of ancient Greece."
"It seems that you know this marble head very well, so I would like to ask, at what price do you plan to sell it? If the price is reasonable, I intend to accept this head and bring it back to study."
Ye Tian said with a smile, with a very relaxed tone.
As his voice fell, the scene immediately became quiet.
Edmundo looked at the Vulcan head again, eyes full of doubt.
Is this thing a valuable top art? That's why Steven, a greedy guy, wanted to get it in his pocket.
Everyone in the store also looked at the marble head, and was equally puzzled, not understanding the value of the marble head.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Edmundo said nervously:
"To be honest, Steven, this Vulcan head has been in my antique shop for five years. Almost no one cares about it, and no one knows whose sculpture it is.
Since you asked for the price, and you are the top antique art appraisal expert in the industry, and your vision is extremely sharp, I will not make a fool of myself, and dare not ask too much.
The price of this avatar is 2500 euros. If you can accept it, you can take this avatar away, but there is a prerequisite, I hope you can agree to my request.
After the transaction is completed, you'd better explain the situation of this head portrait, talk about your appraisal conclusion, the mystery of the origin of this head portrait, has been haunting me for five years! "
Without hesitation, Ye Tian nodded very readily and agreed.
"Okay, Edmundo, it was sold for 2500 euros. After the transaction is completed, I will tell my conclusion of the appraisal. I hope it can solve your doubts."
"Deal, Steven, congratulations, got a beautiful sculpture"
Edmundo said in pain, and shook hands with Ye Tian unwillingly, and concluded the art deal.
It wasn't until this time that he was really sure that Steven did intend to buy this Vulcan head, instead of tentatively asking for a price and taking it to himself.
Although regretted in his heart, Edmundo also understood very well.
If you regret it and don't sell this Vulcan head to Steven, but keep it, then the fate of this head is very likely to be the same as before, and continue to throw it in the corner to collect ashes!
The reason is simple. Except for Steven, no one else can recognize the origin of this Vulcan portrait.
You know, in the past five years, countless people have seen this marble head, but no one can recognize it, including some top antique art appraisal experts.
Even if someone can identify this Vulcan head portrait, whether they are willing to bear the high appraisal costs before the appraisal conclusion is released is a matter of two things.
What if it is a Waterloo, this marble head is not of much value, then wouldn't it be a loss?
Besides, he had already given the offer, and Steven accepted it without hesitation. There was no counter-offer at all. Is there any room for regret?
With Steven’s consistently cruel and cruel behavior, if he repents, this guy will definitely send himself to the dock in the court, making himself discredited and even ruined!
In the end, don't even want to keep this Vulcan head.
Who doesn't know, Steven is always accompanied by a private lawyer, who seems to be ready to go to court at any time. This kind of thoughtful and terrifying bastard, who can provoke him!
It was precisely because of this that Edmundo bit his posterior molars and shook hands with Ye Tian to conclude the deal.
Next, Ye Tian wiped the dust off the Vulcan portrait, moved it to his feet, and paid the purchase price through bank transfer, drawing a successful conclusion to the transaction.
After confirming that the payment was received, Edmundo immediately said with expectation:
"Steven, the transaction has been completed, you can tell the conclusion of your appraisal, this problem has troubled me for five years, I hope you can help to solve it"
After speaking, this buddy stared at Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer.
The others on the scene are the same, all looking at Ye Tian, everyone's eyes are full of expectation.
Ye Tian shook his head slightly, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Edmundo, in your antique shop, I am not only interested in this Vulcan head, but I am also very interested in another artwork.
If the price of the artwork is right, I want to include it in my bag. After all the transactions are completed, I will explain it to you! "
Hearing this, everyone at the scene was stunned, eyes full of incredible.
Immediately afterwards, everyone turned their heads to look at Edmundo, everyone's eyes were full of sympathy, and even pity!
This buddy is really unlucky today. When he ran into a greedy guy like Steven, he was going to be ransacked twice in succession. It is estimated that he has the heart to die!
Before Edmundo could answer, Ye Tian smiled again and said:
"Edmundo, in your antique shop today, I only made two shots. After the transaction is completed and the explanation is complete, I can help you identify a few antique works of art and give you an accurate estimate..."
Before he finished his words, Edmundo quickly turned from sadness to joy, and said excitedly:
"I heard you right? Steven, you will help me identify a few antique works of art and give me a valuation later? If this is the case, then I would really appreciate it!"
As an antique dealer who has been in the antique art market for many years, Edmundo knows very well how valuable Ye Tian’s promise is ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Same thing, before It happened before, and it caused quite a stir in the industry, and even spread it as a good talk.
The guy who was fortunate enough to get this promise last time, with the help of Steven, unexpectedly found a few valuable top antique works of art in his booth, and dug up treasures from the trash!
With that precious golden opportunity, that lucky guy turned into a rich man with a net worth of tens of millions of euros and staged a successful counterattack legend!
Now that such a legendary golden opportunity is before his eyes, can Edmundo not be excited about it? This guy is even a little incoherent!
"You heard it right, Edmundo, I do what I say, and you don't have to thank you. I admire your way and attitude in doing business, so I gave this promise.
Tell me about the geometric abstract painting. Where did it come from? Which artist did it come from? How valuable is it? I have some interest in that painting"
With that said, Ye Tian stretched out his hand at a geometric abstract painting hanging on the wall.
