Bab 381: Chapter 381: The Sweep Begins
"Man, what's the price of this humidor? It looks pretty good!"
Ye Tian pointed to a humidor on the stall and asked, showing interest.
He intends to test the stall owner's asking price so that he can make a quote for the two target antiques.
This is a gloomy wood and pure copper cigar box with a simple carved border. Judging from the style, it should come from the United Kingdom. It was of the late nineteenth century. In his eyes radiated a dazzling red light.
The cigar box is kept in good condition and there is no damage. The copper parts have slight gilt loss, which is a trace of time caused by the age. It does not damage the value of the cigar box, but adds a bit of history.
It's a pity that this is just an ordinary antique, not a masterpiece. The artistic value and market value are relatively average, and the market price is just over 100 dollars.
The reason why Ye Tian gave this price, apart from his knowledge of the market, was of course the faint three-layer halo on the cigar box.
"Steven, your vision is awesome. This is an antique cigar box from the UK. The price is 20,000 US dollars. It is very fair and good value for money!"
The stall owner first complimented him, and then quoted the price. The knife was extremely spicy!
Hearing this price, Ye Tian was stunned.
Got it! Another guy that want use him to turn rich!
Anyway, this is not the target antique, and he is too lazy to expose the stall owner, and he is not even in the mood to bargain, so let the stall owner go! This is also a pleasure!
"A gloomy wooden cigar box worth 20,000 dollars! That must be Churchill's beloved thing! Priceless! It's so expensive, but it's a pity that I can't afford it!
Let me look at others, maybe there is a vanity mirror that Queen Victoria used here! If so, it must have shocked the world!"
Ye Tian sighed with exaggerated expression, with a sardonic smile at the corner of his mouth.
But his gaze moved directly away from the cigar box and looked at other objects without hesitation for a moment!
"Puff!"
Betty covered her mouth and chuckled, she couldn't help it!
The acting is too much! Too exaggerated!
This time it was the turn of the stall owner to be dumbfounded, and immediately after that, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Of course he understands the cigar box is like and how absurd his offer is!
However, skyrocketing prices, cut the offer! This bastard didn't even cut the price, he just moved the target!
What's even more exaggerated is to give me a sneer, what do he mean?
"Man, what's the price of this cross? Come and listen!"
Ye Tian pointed to a cross and asked, still very interested.
And his eyes hidden under the sunglasses were full of smiles.
This is a natural fritillary parquet oak cross from the early twentieth century. It is also from the United Kingdom. The value is average, and it is worth $800!
But in the mouth of this stall owner, who knows what appalling prices will be offered? It is worth looking forward to!
"Steven, this is a natural fritillary parquet oak cross. It comes from England. It is a very good antique. The asking price is $120,000. How about it. Can you accept it?"
The stall owner smiled brightly again and quoted the price.
This time he wasn't so confident anymore, and his tone was hesitant.
But he still had a hint of hope and wanted to pit Ye Tian together.
The bastard in front of him is a millionaire, his legs are thicker than his waist! Don't he pit anyone? Now that he ran into him, he must never let it go, just in case him succeed!
It is a pity that he met Ye Tian, a professional treasure hunter who is countless times better than him, how could he be willing to be a fool! Get pitted!
The stall owner's dream of a big deal was shattered in an instant!
"Man, did you rob the British Museum? With the goods on your booth, you can build a new British Museum! It's a shame to sell them here!"
Ye Tian pretended to sigh in surprise, and teased the stall owner.
"Hahaha"
A burst of laughter suddenly sounded, and instantly resounded through this empty courtyard market.
Betty, Matisse and Walker, as well as several stall owners around them all burst into laughter, and the many reporters who just arrived were also bursting into laughter!
Even the police officers, who were very upset, released a burst of laughter.
This guy is so bad! That sharp mouth can kill people, no wonder there are enemies everywhere!
While bursting with laughter, everyone looked at the stall owner with sympathy in their eyes!
What a poor man! What a shame! It's also a bit too stupid, the brain must be short-circuited!
Who heard that Steven had been cheated by someone? It is fortunate that he doesn't cheat others, you want to cheat this bastard! Isn't that self-inflicted? Who can blame?
Looking at the stall owner, his face was dark and purple, not to mention how ugly! Teeth clenched, eyes were blood red, and the anger was about to burn!
Too damn vicious! The stall owner wanted to jump out of the stall with hatred, tear up the damn New York bastard opposite, and threw him to the dog!
With a little laughter, Ye Tian looked at the stallholder and said again:
"Man, I'm a professional treasure hunter, and my self-confidence is not bad. I still understand the basic market conditions. It's definitely not the best thing you want to encounter!
You'd better set a real price, so that we can continue to talk, otherwise there is no need to waste time, everyone's time is limited!"
The stall owner smiled awkwardly, his expression becoming more ugly.
But business is still to be done. Face is not very important in the face of real interests.
It's only two hours before the Corridor 127 will be closed. One should sell one, or else you have to take it home!
Thinking of this, the stall owner could only hold back his anger and bid again.
"OK! Steven, that cigar box is $1500, and this cross is $100, how about it, can you accept it?"
From a hundred or two hundred thousand dollars directly to a thousand dollars, cliff diving, the gap between before and after is too big!
Many reporters and policemen stared at the stall owner dumbfounded, with eyes full of disbelief.
Several stall owners and professional treasure hunters did not feel any surprises, including Ye Tian, which was normal.
"It's not far from the actual value, but it's still expensive! The cigar box is $300, and the oak cross is $150. This is my offer, can you accept it? Man, if you can, make a deal right away!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, then repaid a price, and the knife was very cruel!
"hiss!"
Everyone gasped.
Everyone was frightened by Ye Tian again, especially the stall owners and professional treasure hunters, they felt shocked, it was so cruel!
"Steven, the price is absolutely impossible! The minimum price for a humidor is US$800, and the minimum is US$400 for the cross. It can't be lower!"
The stall owner's eyes were red, and he forced his anger to bid again, and was forced to make some concessions.
"That's a pity, just the price I quoted just now, if you can't accept it, then forget it, I will go to other stalls to see, maybe there will be new ones!"
Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders, seemingly helpless and regretful.
After speaking, he took Betty to the next booth, without hesitation, his footsteps were very firm, without a trace of nostalgia.
Two steps after they walked out, the stall owner's painful voice came from behind.
"Ok! The deal, two antiques totaling 450 dollars, sold to you!"
Although the price is low, the stall owner has to sell it.
He didn't want to take all these things home, and resist the attack of a Category 4 hurricane with himself.
Who knows where these antiques will go after the hurricane? It is more practical to change to US dollars, so that he can buy more disaster prevention materials! Be more confident when dealing with hurricanes!
And this price is still a bit profitable, although it is very small, it is better than nothing!
Hearing this voice, Ye Tian immediately laughed, very proud.
Later, he took Betty back to the first booth.
The transaction is completed quickly and the money and goods are cleared!
"Man, the transaction is very pleasant, I like these two small antiques!"
Ye Tian shook hands with the stall owner, smiling very brightly.
"Steven, you're such a bastard, this is just taking advantage of the storn! It's too cruel! The hateful thing is that I knew it was a robbery, so I had to nod and agree. What a shame!"
The stall owner gritted his teeth and said, gritted his teeth with hatred, but he was very helpless.
"Hahaha, buddy, let's take a look! The market is about to close, and a hurricane is coming. I am helping you reduce the burden. You should think so.
When you think about it this way, you will feel relieved and even feel that you should be grateful instead of complaining or cursing me! I wish you a pleasant afternoon, goodbye!"
Ye Tian said with a big smile, and then led Betty to the second booth.
"Thank you? Go to hell, you damn bastard! Robber!"
The stall owner cursed in a low voice, and he was shaking with anger.
Soon, Ye Tian and the others had already walked through three stalls.
The next two stalls were also antique stalls, and there was no major display, and Ye Tian did not make another move.
He only stayed for a few seconds when he passed by, glanced roughly at the goods on the stall to see if there were any leaks to pick up, and then looked through the whole thing, and he could grasp everything in an instant.
If there is a leak in the booth, he will ask for the price of an antique with his finger, and then walk away, basically without any delay.
A few meters after leaving the third booth, Ye Tian began to give instructions through wireless headphones.
His location is already some distance from the door of the market, Jason and the others can enter the market to scan the goods!
"Jason, Sophie, you are the first group. You will enter the market in two minutes. Your goal is at the first booth on the right. There are two antiques.
One is a pure copper carved pipe rack. It is an antique from the beginning of the last century. There are two pipes hanging on it. It is very easy to identify. The highest price cannot exceed US$400.
The second antique is four small German Mason porcelain dolls, packed in a box. Antiques from the 1950s can be recognized at a glance. The highest price is US$600.
You can bargain boldly during the transaction. The stall owner is dumping the goods. As long as the price is almost the same, it will sell, it depends on your bargaining level!"
As soon as the voice fell, excited cheers came from the headphones.
"Awesome! Steven, it's finally our turn to take the shot. Don't worry, we will be able to win these two antiques at the lowest price! Make a small profit!"
"I believe you can successfully take down these two antiques and enjoy the fun of treasure hunting!"
Ye Tian said with a low smile, also very excited.
Immediately after he began to arrange the second task.
"Anderson, Raymond, you are in the second group. You will enter the market in three minutes. The goal is to have only one antique in the third booth.
It is a pure copper gilt sculpture. The theme is dog and child playing together. It comes from France in the 19th century. The highest price is 1000 US dollars.
As I said before, bargain as much as possible, the lower the better, don't be polite, I believe you can discover the fun of treasure hunting and enjoy this fun!"
Cheers came from the headphones again, very excited!
"It's so cool! Look at us, we must take this sculpture!"
