Chapter 307: Chinese Antiques
After lunch, everyone continued to set off, but instead of leaving Danville, they came to a courtyard market in Danville.
This is an important and larger courtyard market in Corridor 127. There are dozens of stalls. Since he pass by here, of course he cannot miss it.
There are a lot of people in the market, most of them are local residents, and there are also many professional treasure hunters who come here eagerly. Just look at the numerous RVs outside the market.
At this time, those who appeared in Corridor 127 in their RV were all professional treasure hunters.
As elsewhere, Ye Tian walked into this open-air market and immediately felt the attention cast from all around.
Every gaze is very hot, with envy, jealousy, surprise and a little fear.
There is no doubt that almost everyone here knows him and knows what he has gained today!
But what can they do? Even if they are more cautious, don't want to stop him from sweeping the treasures here, if you have a treasure here!
Ye Tian stood at the entrance and glanced at the stalls in the market, and instantly understood what was in the stalls in front of him, and whether it was worth doing it himself.
Later, he took Betty to stroll around the courtyard market, looking for his favorite baby. Jason and Sophie also walked into the market to experience the fun of treasure hunting together.
Walker and an armed security guard followed three meters away to protect them without disturbing them.
Of course, the reporters followed suit, looking forward to Ye Tian's discovery of the heavyweight treasure again! That will be another very interesting news!
There are also more than a dozen professional treasure hunters who have been following, and they are also following right now, looking for treasures by themselves while paying attention to Ye Tian.
Seeing their huge team, everyone in the market felt astonished, who has seen such a visit to the courtyard market! Really eye-opening!
Just the bastard Steven, who else can be so ostentatious?
At the same time, every stall owner in the market has become more vigilant.
No one wants to be the object of being deceived, let alone the protagonist of the tragedy, becoming the object of conversation and ridicule of the peers!
As Ye Tian and the others passed by, there was a buzzing voice in the market.
"The bastard Steven is finally here! I don't know if he can find a treasure here! I don't know which the guy is going to be unlucky today!"
"It is inevitable that our business will be picked up by others, but this is the first time I have heard of Steven's crazy way of picking up leaks, which is too exaggerated!
Today, I must be very careful, even if I don't do my business, I don't want to be picked up by this damn bastard and I will hide in the toilet and cry when I go back!"
This is a good courtyard market. The stalls are basically antique dealers, and there are some good products on the stalls.
After only strolling through two stalls, Ye Tian saw three or four antiques that were of some value, which made him a little touched, and there were more antiques that were old but not valuable.
Although he discovered something, he didn't immediately make a move!
Leave these things to Bowie, it's not appropriate to do it himself, he saw that the eyes of these stall owners are all green! Just waiting for a slaughter!
Of course, the price still needs to be understood.
When he reached the fourth booth, he stopped, pointed to a Russian-decorated enamel cigarette case and asked:
"Man! What is the price for this cigarette pack? Looks pretty good!"
This is an enamel cigarette case from the 1930s. It is in good condition and looks beautiful. It emits white light and has two layers of halo. It has some artistic value and should be worth hundreds of dollars!
But this was not his goal. He was looking for another more valuable item, this enamel cigarette case was just a smoke bomb used to test the price.
He wanted to see how much of premium this stall owner would ask and how moist the offer was.
By the extension of this stall owner's offer, he can also roughly understand the ideas of the other stall owners and know what they are doing.
Next, if he see something he like in other stalls and must be taken down, he know how to bargain and whether it is worth the shot!
Hearing Ye Tian's inquiry, the stall owner's eyes flashed with joy, and business is here!
"Steven, welcome to my booth, your vision is awesome! This is an antique from Russia, with a strong Russian style, the price is not expensive, only 5,000 US dollars!"
After reporting the price, the stall owner immediately looked at Ye Tian expectantly, waiting for his response.
He dare to open his teeth, it's too dark! The other stall owners next to them were secretly complaining.
Okay! Is it not expensive? It's more than ten times what really worth!
Slightly calming down, Ye Tian said angrily:
"Man! If it's Fabergé jewelry, I'll recognize it for $5,000, but is it? Don't take me as a layman! I'm a professional treasure hunter! $200, the highest price is just that. Take it away!"
"Puff"
Betty couldn't help but laughed directly, so did Sophie and the many reporters behind him, both chuckles!
25 times the gap! That's so funny!
The stall owner blushed, and he returned to normal in an instant, apparently with a well-tested face.
He already knew in his heart that he wanted to take advantage of the bastard in front of him, even without a door! This bastard is better than anyone and understands the market better than anyone!
Make an honest offer, as long as he don't let this bastard pick you up.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he began to make a new offer.
"200 dollars is too low, I can't accept it, it seems you know this thing too, if you really like it, 600 dollars can take it away!"
This is also like a word, the moisture is not so great.
But he didn't even want to buy this stuff, so you should keep it for yourself.
Ye Tian shook his head lightly, and then walked away with Betty, without even looking at the cigarette case again!
Is this gone? That's too simple! The stall owner was dumbfounded.
Next, Ye Tian asked about the prices of a few antiques at other stalls. They were all antiques that were of little value and everyone knew.
He didn't mean to shoot, but was testing the depth of the courtyard market to see how many treasures he could take from here!
Based on the quotations of these stall owners, he also secretly set the quotation range of the target antique artworks, and then asked Bowie to take the shot.
At the same time, he also demonstrated his sharp vision and precise price judgment ability, warning these stall owners, don't ask for prices, he are definitely not the fat sheep they want to kill!
As he expected, after several consecutive inquiries and bargaining, the stall owners immediately became more rational. Although the asking price was still high, no one was asking too much!
Soon, Ye Tian and the others walked to the last row of the market, where there were only three stalls.
After only glanced at these three stalls, the eyes under Ye Tian's sunglasses immediately began to shine, becoming extremely bright, and his heart was full of surprises!
It's another heavy treasure, and so rare! So kind! He must do it himself!
Although very excited, wishing to go to the second booth immediately and take down the treasure, Ye Tian's expression was very calm and showed no abnormality.
He took Betty and strolled forward, glanced at the first booth, shook his head slightly, and then walked to the second booth with a calm expression and no clue.
Foreplay is enough, it's time to get straight to the subject!
After standing still, he immediately pointed to a piece of goods on the stall and said to the stall owner in surprise:
"Man! I didn't expect you to have something from China, where did you collect it? Do you know what it is? Can I get started and see?"
The stall owner glanced at the goods that Ye Tian was referring to, smiled and nodded and said:
"Steven, good afternoon, I'm Adrian. Welcome to my booth. This is an antique from your country China. It seems to be an incense furnace for sacrifice. I collected it in Liberty. Of course you can see it!"
At the same time, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the stall owner.
Is this a treasure? Maybe he can make money today! The cost is only $50, and he can make money when he sell it!
"Adrian, you are right! This is the incense furnace, but it is not just a sacrificial utensil, but an important carrier of Chinese traditional culture. Let me take a look at this incense furnace, maybe I will buy it!"
Ye Tian explained a few words, then knelt down and picked up the incense furnace from the booth.
The incense furnace is very heavy to start with. Obviously, the materials are made of metal. It is more heavy than the pure copper incense furnace. It should be made of alloy. Judging from the purple carcass on the surface, it is probably made of gold and copper alloy.
After feeling the weight for a while, Ye Tian took the incense furnace with both hands and began to appreciate and study carefully.
The purple-red censer in his eyes is now radiating a dazzling light yellow light, very beautiful!
At the first moment when he saw this incense furnace, Ye Tian knew based on the light intensity that it was an early Ming Dynasty incense furnace with a long history of nearly 600 years!
In addition to the light yellow light emitted by the incense furnace there are more than a dozen layers of halo, which is extremely charming and full of temptation!
There is no doubt that this incense furnace has extraordinary artistic value and is a rare ancient art treasure!
Six hundred years of history! The artistic value is extraordinary! Ye Tian's heart began to beat wildly!
Is it the famous Xuande furnace?
Although the age is similar! But before he saw the fund with his own eyes, and before conducting a perspective analysis, Ye Tian still did not dare to draw conclusions easily, lest he be disappointed in the end!
Happiness comes more violently!
