Chapter 489: Chapter 489: The Threat of Predator
This is an antique shop with a small area and a lot of goods. Although the shop is small and well-equipped, it is very distinctive.
There are not many people in the shop, the owner and the staff, there is also a guest, it is very quiet.
The man was standing behind the counter. The fifty-something white boss was chatting with the guest. There was a vase on the table in front of them. Judging from the pattern, it should be antique porcelain from Germany.
Obviously, these two are negotiating a transaction. It is not known who is the buyer and who is the seller!
When Ye Tian pushed the door in, the three people in the store immediately looked towards the door.
When they saw clearly who the person was, they were immediately stunned.
The expressions of the antique shop owner and the guy changed suddenly and a lot of emotions appeared in their eyes, both surprise and worry and they were even more uneasy.
Why did Steven come to Boston? And come to this store, don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?
Especially the antique shop owner, the mood at this time can be described as very complicated.
He hope this guy can help find a few heavyweight treasures, but he don't want miss them here! He don't want to be the target of being ransacked by this guy, or another unlucky person in the legend!
"Good afternoon, gentlemen, happy Thanksgiving, your antique shop is nice, quiet and delicious! I like it here!"
Ye Tian smiled and waved his hand to say hello and by the way he complimented a few words, no different from ordinary tourists.
"Good afternoon, Steven and happy Thanksgiving too, welcome to Boston and welcome to my antique shop. It is a great honor. My name is Aldrich, the owner of this antique shop!"
The antique shop owner quickly woke up, stood up and shook hands with Ye Tian, introduced himself and the other two also nodded and said hello.
"Hello, Mr. Aldrich, do you know me? We don't seem to meet each other?"
Ye Tian asked in amazement, this is a typical knowing question!
"We really haven't seen each other. You are a superstar in the field of antique art collection, a well-known professional treasure hunter, of course I know! Anyway, I am not an insider!"
Aldrich said with a smile and also gave Ye Tian a few words.
But in his heart, he kept complaining.
This bastard is a scourge and tragedy maker in the antique art market! Who dare not know him? Who dares not be wary of him?
Those of us who open antique shops, theres no one that not guard against him! No one wants to be the protagonist of a tragedy, just like the hapless counterparts in Corridor 127!
Listening to Aldrich's flattery, Ye Tian was so comfortable in his heart, he was transparent!
But his mind was very clear and he didn't drift off and couldn't find north! He walked into this antique shop by no means to wander around, let alone listen to people's praise! It has a very clear purpose.
After entering the door, his eyes were not idle.
During this time of greeting and chat, he quickly scanned all the goods on the surface of this antique shop and he did not let go the valuable antique artworks!
He had mastered the basic situation of this antique shop without even using it for a minute.
Although this antique shop is small, it has a bit of heritage. There are still a few good things in the shop, not all of them are sold on the market and there are leaks to pick up here. This is the most important discovery.
Unfortunately, now is not a good time to make a fortune!
After quickly scanning the goods in this antique shop again, Ye Tian stepped forward, approaching the antique shop owner and whispered:
"Aldrich, is there a back door here? I want to use the back door to get out and get rid of the three bastards outside. To tell you the truth, those bastards are from the police. They followed me all the way. It's very annoying!"
With that said, Ye Tian also gestured backwards with his thumb, the action was very concealed!
He didn't intend to conceal his purpose. At this moment, he was very sure that Aldrich would nod and agree, as long as the temptation is strong enough! This guy doesn't care about the police or the FBI!
Aldrich looked out and immediately saw three guys standing on the side of the road in the doorway. Those guys were also looking into the store, very vigilant!
"Ah! The police are actually following you and have sent so many people, has something happened?"
Aldrich pretended to be surprised and whispered, but his heart was already happy.
Deserve it!
Super dangerous and tragedy maker like you! You should be watched by the police at all times and it's best to throw it into the prison and never let it out!
Then the whole world will become much safer! Those of us who open antique shops don't have to worry about it!
"This group of police is making a fuss. They are worried that I will be involved in trouble in Boston, so they sent someone to follow me. It's just superfluous! I'm a law-abiding citizen. How can I cause trouble?"
Ye Tian explained in a low voice helplessly, the performance was very good, the acting skills have reached the stage!
Hearing these words, Aldrich almost couldn't hold back a laugh.
Lie to the ghost! Who wants to believe this nonsense, it is definitely a disease of the brain and it is already extremely sick and hopeless!
Wherever this bastard walks, isn't there turbulence and strife? It may even become a battlefield with bullets flying around and blood flowing everywhere. Whom does the police follow?
This is the truest thought in Aldrich's mind, but he can't say so.
After groaning for a while, he said with an embarrassed expression:
"We do have a back door here, which leads directly to the back street, where is the parking lot, but these guys are policemen. If you are asked to leave through the back door, will these guys trouble me?"
"Don't worry, Aldrich, I'm not a criminal. Why do these guys out there trouble you? If you can do this, you will have a big surprise!"
Ye Tian released the bait and he didn't worry that the old guy in front of him would not bite him.
"What surprise? Can you tell me something?"
Aldrich asked eagerly, his eyes suddenly becoming extremely bright.
He basically guessed what the surprise Ye Tian said was, but he was not very sure!
Did this guy find an opportunity to pick up a leak in the store? If so, let this guy borrow the back door, even if you drive this guy away by yourself!
As long as he doesn't buy here and tells what the leak is and how much it is worth!
Things are as he expected!
At the next moment, Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice:
"Aldrich, I found a very good antique art here, but you seem to underestimate the value of this antique and the gap is very big!
If I can borrow the back door of your shop to leave, then I don't mind saying that it is an antique and I will also tell you the exact value of this antique and other related information!
Of course, you can also refuse, that is your right, but I also have a few friends in Boston. Later, one of them may patronize your antique shop!"
That's right! This is the threat, the threat of predator!
Listening to these words, Aldrich suddenly felt a panic and cold sweat!
He is a robber! The biggest robber in the field of antique art collection is ruthless and arrogant!
But it's such a guy, but his vision is extremely sharp! He have never lost his hand. He have only come in for a few minutes and he have discovered the opportunity to pick up the leak. It's a monster!
Faced with this situation, who would dare to say nothing?
Even being harassed by the Boston police afterwards is much better than losing a lot of dollars and crying to death in the toilet!
After the horror, Aldrich immediately made the most correct decision.
"Okay, Steven, I can take you out of the back door, or even drive you, but you must say that the antique artwork is undervalued, including its exact value!
In addition, there is one more point. In the future, you are welcome to visit my shop and appreciate the antique art here, but please don't make a move here, let me go!
What I do is just a small business to support my family. I can't stand the crazy looting of a guy like you. If I be looted by you once, I'm afraid I will be sent to the hospital for rescue!"
"Hahaha, I'm serious! I'm not so scary, nor so unkind, don't worry, even if I find "Mona Lisa" here in the future, I will not miss it!
One more thing, you don't have to drive me away. I have a way to get rid of these tails. As long as you get out of the back door, you will immediately get the answer you want and avoid being missed by others!"
Ye Tian said with a light smile, a little smug in his tone.
"Okay! I will take you away from the back door, I hope you keep your promise!"
After speaking, Aldrich turned and walked behind the antique shop.
When he left, he didn't forget to tell his buddy and greeted the customer in the store again.
"Alvin, we will go to the warehouse to look at a few things. You stare at the front. Don't do any business until I come back. Albert, please wait a while, I'll be back soon!"
This guy is very cautious, lest he leave this meeting, the guy sold the undervalued antique, so he told him specifically.
"Got it, boss!"
Alvin responded, although he was a little puzzled, he didn't ask much.
The customer in the store should be an old friend of Aldrich and he did not raise any objections.
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, then followed Aldrich to the back, and disappeared into the corridor in a blink of an eye!
