Chapter 1817: Stay one line of life?
Because they have just been to Nicosia and many tourist destinations along the Mediterranean coast, such as Nice and Cannes in France, Ye Tian and the others quickly lost interest in the streets of Larnaca.
As far as the scenery is concerned, Larnaca and Nicosia are similar. Nicosia is better than Larnaca in other respects except for the absence of sunny beaches.
As for the famous tourist destinations along the Mediterranean coast such as Nice and Cannes, Larnaca cannot be compared.
For tourists who are visiting the Mediterranean Sea for the first time and visiting Larnaca, this small Mediterranean island town is still very attractive and the scenery is not bad!
But for Ye Tian and the others, the scenery here is not very attractive. Coupled with the weather, it is no wonder they lose interest in the streetscape here.
Although not very interested in the streetscape here, Ye Tian has a keen interest in the antique shops and galleries in Larnaca.
The history of the island of Cyprus is quite long. It has always been a battleground for military strategists. There are many historical sites on the island. Of course, there are also many antiques here.
And like many tourist resorts along the Mediterranean Sea, many artists have come to Cyprus, settled here, made creations, and left many outstanding artworks.
These antique artworks on the island are exactly what Ye Tian is most interested in. Now that he has come to Cyprus, he certainly can't miss the antique shops and galleries here.
After strolling around three or four streets in the drizzle, Ye Tian focused his attention on the antique shops and galleries that appeared from time to time on the street, trying to find something!
When they came to another ancient street, they didn't have a few steps ahead, and they saw a gallery full of flowers and green plants outside on the street. It was a bit of sentiment and artistic atmosphere.
From these vibrant flowers and green plants, we can see that the owner of this gallery must be a person who loves life very much.
"Guys, let's go to that gallery and have a look. Maybe there will be some surprises. By the way, change the environment. The cold and humid weather is really uncomfortable!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and pointed at the gallery by the road.
David and the others naturally had no objection to his proposal, and they nodded in agreement.
After that, Ye Tian and the others crossed the street, opened the door and walked into the gallery.
The area of this gallery is small, and the paintings on display are basically paintings of various art genres from the late 19th century to the late 20th century, mainly realism and post-impressionist paintings.
When Ye Tian and the others opened the door to enter this gallery, there were no other guests in the gallery. The boss was sitting on a chair, enjoying coffee while reading a book. It was very pleasant.
Hearing the sound coming from the doorway, the gallery owner immediately looked up.
When he saw that it was Ye Tian and the others who walked into his gallery, he immediately froze on the sofa with a dumbfounded expression, seeming to wonder if he was dazzled.
At the same time, the heart of the gallery owner shook, and a feeling that something bad happened quickly emerged.
What happened in Jerusalem two days ago has long been known to all over the world, and this gallery owner is no exception.
As a gallery owner and an insider in the antique art market, he knows even better than most people.
"I'm going! Why did this **** Steven come to Larnaca, and come to my gallery, is it possible that I will be the next unlucky person to be ransacked by madness? God bless it, it's better not to happen like that! "
The violent emotional changes of the gallery owner were completely reflected on his face, and Ye Tian and the others saw it all.
Ye Tian turned a blind eye. He quickly scanned the gallery and greeted the gallery owner with a smile.
"Good morning, man, this is Steven. I just came to Larnaca this morning. Your gallery is very good, especially the flowers and green plants at the door. They look beautiful and I like them very much!"
Following Ye Tian's words, the gallery owner finally woke up.
He hurriedly got up from the sofa, and stretched out his right hand to Ye Tian, saying hello.
"Mr. Steven, good morning, I’m Harris, the owner of this gallery, welcome to Larnaca, Cyprus, welcome to my gallery, I’m glad to meet you.
I didn't expect you to come to my gallery, and it will be brilliant! At the moment I saw you, I even wondered if I was dazzled, and I felt impossible! "
Ye Tian shook hands with the other party, then smiled and said:
"Hello, Mr. Harris, I am also very happy to meet you. We were shopping outside just now. When we walked into this street, we were immediately attracted by the delicate and blooming flowers and green plants in front of the gallery.
It can be seen that you are a person who loves life very much. Your gallery must be very good, so we walked into your gallery and prepared to appreciate the artworks displayed here! "
Hearing Ye Tian's compliment, Harris couldn't help flashing a smug look in his eyes, and his tight nerves relaxed a little.
After a few chats, Ye Tian introduced David and the others.
After everyone knew each other and greeted each other, Ye Tian pointed to the paintings displayed in the gallery and said with a smile:
"Harris, can I appreciate these paintings? Especially the numerous realism and post-impressionist paintings here are all art genres that I like very much!"
Hearing this, Harris' eyelids suddenly jumped, and the nerves that had just relaxed a little tightened suddenly, even more tense than before.
He looked at Ye Tian deeply, then forced a smile and nodded and said:
"Of course you can admire these paintings, Steven. These paintings are displayed here just for people to appreciate them. It's natural that you can like them.
But I also have an unrelenting request. I hope you can raise your hands high and don't looted me. I have heard about the things that happened in Jerusalem! "
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, Ye Tian and the others all laughed.
When the laughter fell a little, Ye Tian said jokingly:
"There's no such exaggeration, Harris, it's just a false rumor, there is no looting at all! You don't have to worry too much, I still know the truth about being a human being and meeting in the future!"
Before he could say anything, Harris rolled his eyes angrily and vomited to himself.
"Be a human and stay in the line? Don't be nonsense. If you guys really understand this truth, you won't create so many human tragedies by yourself, and you won't be regarded as a scourge by all your colleagues, so you can avoid it!"
Although he thought so in his heart, even if Harris had the courage, he did not dare to say it.
He could only pray secretly, hoping that God would bless him and let himself escape the disaster.
However, ten minutes later, an oil painting on canvas originally hung on the display wall fell into Ye Tian's hands, and it only cost 1,800 US dollars.
However, Ye Tian was also more generous this time. Before leaving this gallery, he suddenly pointed to a post-impressionist painting on the wall and said:
"Harris, if I am not mistaken, it should be a painting by the famous post-impressionist painter Paul Cerrissier, with a market value of about 1.2 million euros.
I don’t know if you understand the value of that painting. I just remind you so that you don’t lose the treasure. Okay, we should also go. Nice to meet you, see you later! "
After speaking, Ye Tian waved to Harris, and then walked to the door of the gallery with David and the others, carrying the painting that he had just harvested in his hand.
At this time, Harris was completely overwhelmed by the rush of ecstasy, and the whole person had fallen into a sluggish state, and even temporarily lost the ability to speak, even a word could not be said.
At the same time, he also felt a sharp pain.
He knew very well in his heart that since the guy Steven can recognize Paul Cerrissier's paintings at a glance and give an accurate estimate, he doesn't even have to think about it. The **** has been acting before!
The painting that was bought by Steven that guy for $1,800 is definitely more valuable, and it is very likely to be a priceless top art!
There is no doubt that he was ransacked by Steven's greedy **** and became the protagonist of another tragedy!
But this crazy looting made myself painful and happy! Emotions are like riding a roller coaster, up and down, it can be completely crazy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Until Ye Tian and the others walked out of this gallery, the sound of closing the door came, and Harris, who was in a sluggish state, woke up.
Immediately afterwards, a painful shout came from the gallery.
"Steven, can you tell me who is the master of the Pre-Raphaelite painting? How much is it worth? To solve my confusion, otherwise I will sleep all night!"
Ye Tian did not respond to the loud inquiry from the gallery owner Harris, or did not give a public and loud response.
He just smiled softly, and then whispered to David and the others:
"This Pre-Raphaelite painting is the peak of Hunter, a famous British painter in the 19th century and one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite. The market value is about US$1,500!"
Upon hearing what he said, David and the others immediately exclaimed in a low voice.
"Wow! 15 million US dollars, obviously a top art piece!"
