The next day, Paris Saint-Ouin flea market.
Regarding the transaction of the ancient building on the Ile de la Cité, Ye Tian entrusted it to his team of French lawyers, while he himself took time off and continued to take Betty to visit the city of Paris.
At this time, they are in the Saint-Ouan flea market in Paris, the largest flea market in the world, and the oldest and most famous antique flea market in the world!
At the same time, it is also the birthplace of the flea market, whose history can be traced back to 1884.
Initially, poor people living in communities in the northern suburbs of Paris picked out valuable things from the abandoned objects and set up stalls to sell them here, gradually forming a market.
After a while, this trading model was quickly adopted by the upper classes in Paris, who also came to this market to sell high-priced items such as antiques and treasures.
In the following more than 100 years, this flea market has continued to grow and become more and more influential!
Today, the Santouan Flea Market has become the most famous, oldest and largest antique flea market in the world!
There are more than 2,500 stalls selling antique arts and crafts, more than 500 large-scale shops, 13 branches, covering an area of more than 30,000 square meters, and five to six million tourists visit here every year!
As a professional treasure hunter and an antiques insider, the Saint-Ouin flea market is a must-see for Ye Tian during his trip to Paris. It is definitely not to be missed!
For him, who has the power of clairvoyance, this place is a huge treasure with a completely open door and no defense at all. He can take whatever he wants and loot like crazy!
No, it has only been more than an hour since they came to the Santouan flea market, and they have bought more than a dozen pieces of antique art at extremely low prices, and each one is worth a lot of money!
In the eyes of many people in the market, the antique works of art that were carried in the hands of Matisse and the others and that they had returned to the car were not worth much at all!
But Ye Tian understands better than anyone else where those antique works of art come from and what kind of artistic and market value they have.
While he was constantly scanning goods and frantically looting the antique stall owners in the Saint-Ouan flea market, the news that he came to the Saint-Ouan flea market also spread throughout the market, causing quite a sensation. !
Many antique stall owners in the Saint-Ouan Flea Market were worried and excited about his arrival, and they had very mixed emotions!
What I am worried about is whether these crazy Americans will bring danger to everyone, and even turn the Santouan flea market into a battlefield. The **** killings that happened a few days ago are still vivid in my mind!
The exciting thing is that that **** Steven is a super rich man with a lot of money in his pocket. As long as he sees the antique artwork that makes him excited, he is never stingy with money. This is famous!
Of course, some people have other ideas!
Not long after arriving at the Santouan flea market, Ye Tian and the others saw a few tails behind them. Each of those guys had greedy eyes flashing in their eyes, staring closely at Ye Tian’s every move!
These guys are not thieves that can be seen everywhere in the market. Because of the existence of Matisse and the others, as well as the Paris police who do not hide their identities, even if they borrow the courage of the thieves, they will not dare to get close to Ye Tian!
The guys following Ye Tian and the others are all treasure hunters and antique vendors who make a living at the Santouan flea market. They can be regarded as Ye Tian’s peers to some extent.
These guys all know something about Ye Tian’s ability to identify antique artworks. The reason why they follow Ye Tian is just to take advantage of the east wind to pick up some mistakes and make a small fortune!
If possible, they would even want to cut off Hu, and seize the right opportunity to grab one or two valuable antiques and artworks from Ye Tian. Maybe they can get rich overnight and change their lives!
Ye Tian didn’t pay attention to the tails following him at all. He just laughed at these guys secretly. They were so ignorant!
This situation is too common. When he visited the antique market in New York, a group of guys often followed him sneakily, trying to take advantage of the east wind to pick up leaks or cut off one or two pieces of antique art!
However, without exception, those guys all fell into his ubiquitous traps. They were all so deceived that they cried without tears and hated him so much that they gritted their teeth, but they were helpless!
After a while, when he went shopping at the antique market again, no one dared to follow him and try to take advantage. Everyone stayed eight feet away from him, for fear of being tricked by him again!
Obviously, the people in the Sanctuary flea market have only heard of Ye Tian’s extremely sharp vision and have never looked past him. They don’t understand his endless tricks to deceive people deeply enough!
“It seems that it is necessary to teach these guys a lesson, let them learn a lesson, and let them experience the wonderful feeling of being cheated!”
Ye Tian took the opportunity to look back at a booth at the back and glanced at the colleagues with flickering eyes, a sharp light flashed quickly in his eyes!
Then he turned back and looked at a stall on the right.
This is a very ordinary flea stall, which can be seen everywhere in the Saint-Ouin flea market!
The stall is about three meters wide, with a shed supported on it. The two tables in the front, the display racks on both sides and the back are filled with old goods and specious antique artworks!
In addition, there are some old books piled on the ground, as well as some beautiful handicrafts.
The so-called antique artworks placed on tables and shelves may be genuine or fake. Even if there are a few genuine pieces, they are not of much value and are not worth selling at all!
With a quick glance, Ye Tian had a complete grasp of the stall’s situation.
Although there was nothing exciting in this stall, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he pointed at something on the stall and asked the stall owner in a slightly excited tone:
“Man, can I take a look at this bronze hourglass? This thing looks very good, it has a bit of historical charm, it seems to have been around for a while!”
“No problem, Mr. Steven, please just be a little careful. This is a very good antique, I believe it will make you excited!”
The stall owner in his thirties said with a smile, his tone was very sincere, but a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.
Top antique art appraisal expert? Don’t just brag, right? Why does it look like a mallet?
The contempt in the stall owner’s eyes did not escape Ye Tian’s eyes, and he didn’t take it to heart.
After receiving the stall owner’s consent, Ye Tian reached out and picked up the bronze hourglass, admiring it with seriousness, his expression was quite serious, and there was a hint of joy!
This is a simple bronze hourglass, about 20 centimeters high, small and exquisite. The upper and lower bases are round, and three dendritic copper pillars as thick as index fingers connect the upper and lower bases.
Between three dendritic copper pillars, there are two drop-shaped transparent glass covers sandwiched between them. The texture is crystal clear!
The glass cover above the hourglass contains some white fine sand. The sand is passing through the narrow pipe and flowing into the glass cover below little by little, giving people a sense of the passage of time!
In Ye Tian’s eyes, this hourglass has no value at all. It can only be regarded as a fairly well-made handicraft, which is far from an antique work of art!
But it was such a worthless thing, but he looked at it quite seriously, and even showed a hint of joy unknowingly!
His performance all fell into the eyes of the guys behind him, and instantly made those guys’ eyes light up and they became excited!
“Looking at his expression, that guy Steven seems to have discovered something again. Is that bronze hourglass a valuable antique artwork? I wonder if it came from that era, how much is it worth?”
“It’s definitely something that can be noticed by that guy Steven and let him appreciate it for a long time. It might be a valuable antique. Let’s go over and have a look!
If Steven intends to get the bronze hourglass, we must be the first to take action. We have missed several pieces of antique art before, and we must not miss the opportunity this time! “
With that said, these guys walked towards the stall where Ye Tian and the others were, with greedy light shining in everyone’s eyes.
As everyone knows, there is a bottomless pit waiting for them ahead, which will definitely make their lives worse than death and will be unforgettable!
