Chapter 2135: Shrewd gallery owner
Before the police leader arrived, the 30-year-old Arab man had left, walked quickly past Ye Tian and the others, and got into the crowd.
Seeing this, the police leader did not catch up, but picked up the walkie-talkie to notify his subordinates, and stared at the unidentified Arab man, before he came to Ye Tian.
"Mr. Steven, who is the Arab man who left just now? Does he have anything to do with you? Can you tell us?"
The police leader asked in a low voice, and looked at the back of the Arab man again.
"Inspector Carl, who the Arab man is, I don't know very well. Since we came to the flea market at the Berlin Wall, that guy has been following us and changed his costume many times.
I was very curious about what that guy came from, so I asked my subordinates to call him over and chat with that guy. If you want to know the identity of that guy, you’d better investigate it yourself.”
Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice, without revealing the identities of the Assassins.
The reason why he did this is very simple, the time is not yet, and the Assassins did not show much hostility, and there is no need to deal with them for the time being.
"Well, Mr. Steven, we will investigate the identity of that guy. I believe it is not difficult to find out, but I still want to emphasize that Berlin is a peaceful city and no one is allowed to turn this into a battlefield."
The senior police officer named Carl whispered, with warning.
When the voice fell, Ye Tian immediately whispered in a joking tone:
"Don't worry, Officer Carl, I am a law-abiding professional treasure hunter, not a war madman, and I also like the city of Berlin very much. I can't bear to destroy its beauty at all."
"Puff!"
David finally didn't hold it back, and laughed out loud.
The German police officer named Karl rolled his eyes anger, but he was very helpless.
After a few more conversations, the German police officer turned and left, arranging personnel to investigate the identities of the Assassins.
Ye Tian and the others turned around and left here, walked over to the next antique booth, and continued to frantically sweep all kinds of valuable antique artworks.
In a blink of an eye, the time has come to around 3:30 in the afternoon.
Due to the early spring season and the geographical location, in Berlin at this time, the daylight is relatively short, just after three o'clock in the afternoon, twilight has already come up.
The time for the Berlin Wall flea market to close is not far away. Fortunately, Ye Tian and the others have basically finished visiting this famous flea market, leaving only the last few antique shops and galleries.
And they have gained a lot, don't worry about leaving with regrets, in the next one to two years, they won't have to come to this famous flea market again.
While they were talking, Ye Tian opened the door and walked into a small gallery.
After entering the gallery, two guys from the German Ministry of Culture and two plainclothes policemen, as well as three antique art appraisal experts from the Museum Island in Berlin.
The area of this gallery is not large. There are many paintings of various artistic styles hung or placed on the display walls, display shelves, and floor in the gallery. They are basically oil paintings, with a small number of prints.
In addition, this gallery also handles painting supplies.
For example, oil paints, canvases, various paint brushes, etc., the goods are dazzling, filled with the empty space in the gallery, which seems a bit crowded.
When Ye Tian and the others were looking at the interior of the gallery, the owner of the gallery greeted him.
This is a German man about sixty years old, tall, ruddy, with a hard-squeezed smile, and a bit of anxiety in his eyes.
Coming to the front, the gallery owner smiled and greeted Ye Tian.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, I’m Julian, the owner of this gallery, I’m glad to meet you, I’ve long admired your name, welcome to Berlin, welcome to my gallery"
Ye Tian shook hands with the German, and smiled and nodded and said:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Julian, I’m Steven, and I’m glad to meet you too. There are so many artworks in your gallery, which is a bit dizzying."
After a few words of politeness, Ye Tian introduced David and the others again, which was naturally another polite greeting.
Then, Julian entered the topic.
"Gentlemen, you can enjoy the paintings in my gallery and see if there are any artworks you like. I can introduce them to you."
Ye Tian looked at the German, then chuckled and shook his head and said:
"No, Mr. Julian, you don't need to accompany us. You should greet other customers. Let's take a look for ourselves. If necessary, I will greet you."
As he said, Ye Tian raised his finger to several other customers who were also in the gallery, and gently nodded and said hello to those customers.
Julian also turned his head to look at the curious customers, and he pondered a little, then smiled bitterly and nodded and said:
"Well, Mr. Steven, please, but I have a gratuitous request, I hope you can agree"
"Let's talk about it first, Julian, if the request is reasonable, I shouldn't refuse"
"That's it. You are a world-class professional treasure hunter and a top antique art appraisal expert. You have a sharp vision. As the owner of this gallery, I hope you can be merciful.
If you have taken a fancy to a certain painting here and want to include it in your bag, I won't be asking for it, but I hope that you can explain it after you take the artwork.
In this way, even if I miss a valuable antique artwork, I will not be at a loss. At least I understand what kind of treasure I have missed and what are its shortcomings.
Of course, if possible, I hope you can give me some pointers and see if there are other valuable artworks in my gallery, but I have overlooked them. For that, thank you so much.”
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but pause for a while, and took a deep look at Julian, a hint of appreciation flashed deep in his eyes.
It is indeed an old fox who has been in the antique art market for decades. He is so shrewd!
Julian knew clearly that if there were really valuable works of art in his gallery, he would never escape the fate of being looted by the guy Steven, who had always been known for being cruel and cruel.
Instead of passively waiting to be looted, why not retreat? Lower your body and posture and try to recover the losses from other artworks. Maybe you can make a fortune!
Things like this ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ have happened in the United States, in France, in Italy and other places, and it has long been rumored to be a good talk in the industry.
The antique stall owners and gallery owners who have played this trick before, everyone has gained a lot, and even become the envy of everyone.
Not only Ye Tian, but other people in the same gallery, heard Julian's words, they couldn't help but thumb up secretly, admiring them!
Of course, this includes the professionals from the German Ministry of Culture and from the Museum Island in Berlin. Those guys all took a breath and relaxed a little bit.
After pretending to think for a while, Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said:
"Well, Julian, since you made this request, if I refuse it again, it will be a bit unsatisfactory. I hope I can find a few good works of art here. I believe this is a good thing for everyone!"
"Thank you so much, Steven, so please, if you need it, you can greet me at any time."
With that said, Julian raised his hand and made a please gesture.
