While pretending to admire the bronze hourglass in his hand, Ye Tian kept staring at the tails behind him from the corner of his eye, waiting for them to come to the door and jump into the trap he had dug.
When those idiots walked to the secondhand stall with fear and fear, under the scrutinizing gazes of the plainclothes Paris police and Marty, Ye Tian began his subsequent performance.
He turned the bronze hourglass over in his hand and began to pretend to look at and appreciate its bottom, with an expression of joy still on his face.
Just glancing at the bottom of the bronze hourglass, he exclaimed in excitement.
"Wow! Did I read that correctly? The double-headed eagle clan emblem! Could it be that this bronze hourglass comes from the famous Habsburg family and is a royal relic of the Holy Roman Empire? If true, that would be great!"
Ye Tian's excited performance is of course a performance, a bit exaggerated!
However, he successfully attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Hearing what he said, the eyes of the idiots who had just walked to the secondhand stall immediately lit up, and the greedy look in their eyes became even stronger!
Their gazes towards the bronze hourglass became even hotter, even a little hot. They wished they could just grab the bronze hourglass from Ye Tian and take it as their own!
The stall owner standing inside the stall had a bright smile on his face, but the contemptuous look in his eyes became even stronger!
For a moment, he also had some doubts and began to doubt his own judgment!
Could it be that my eyesight is really stupid, and I mistakenly saw this simple bronze hourglass, mistook a valuable antique art piece for a handicraft?
But he quickly rejected the idea and completely dispelled the doubts in his mind!
This bronze hourglass is just a handicraft that he bought for ten euros. The production process is not bad, and it does look a bit historical, that's all!
It can never be a valuable antique work of art, and it has nothing to do with the famous European Habsburg family and the Holy Roman Empire!
Not only those greedy fools, but also Betty and Anderson looked at the bronze hourglass in Ye Tian's hand with interest.
"Stephen, tell me about this bronze hourglass. Why do you say it is related to the Habsburg family and the royal family of the Holy Roman Empire? I think everyone is very interested!"
Anderson asked in a low voice curiously, his eyes still fixed on the bronze hourglass.
This seemingly unintentional but curious inquiry came at just the right time, giving Ye Tian the perfect excuse to continue performing!
Ye Tian turned to look at Anderson with implicit admiration, then pointed to the double-headed eagle logo on the base of the bronze hourglass, and explained with a smile:
“Look at this double-headed eagle logo. This is the imperial emblem of the Holy Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire was a feudal monarchy that spanned Western and Central Europe from 962 to 1806.
The Habsburg family is the most extensive royal family in European history. It once ruled the Holy Roman Empire, the Spanish Empire, the Grand Duchy of Austria, the Austrian Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The emblem of the Habsburg family is a shield-shaped red lion on a yellow background. However, since the Habsburg family inherited the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, they later used the double-headed eagle symbol to represent their family.
In fact, the double-headed eagle logo used by the Habsburg family is slightly different from the imperial emblem of the Holy Roman Empire. It is not easy for ordinary people to distinguish it. The difference lies here..."
As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed to the double-headed eagle logo on the base of the bronze hourglass and began to explain in detail the subtle differences between it and the emblem of the Holy Roman Empire!
While he was explaining, the eyes of the idiots next to him were so hot that they were about to burn!
How they wanted to **** the bronze hourglass from Ye Tian, appreciate it, take it down, and make a fortune!
But seeing the eager and tough Matisse and the others, those guys immediately gave up the opportunity to get close to Ye Tian, lest they bring trouble on themselves!
It only took a moment for Ye Tian to finish the explanation. He did not tell the year when the bronze hourglass was made, nor its artistic value and market value.
This is the Santouan flea market. If he tells this information in public, it will seem too fake. It is completely a layman's performance, but it will be self-defeating!
Although this is acting, it must be as real as possible. Only in this way can we lure those idiots next to us into the trap!
At the same time, he did not bother to fabricate false information. What he said was the information shown on the bronze hourglass!
In this way, even if the idiots next to them later find out that they were deceived, they can't say anything and can only swallow the bitter pill secretly!
After finishing the explanation, he immediately took the bronze hourglass and asked the stall owner:
"Man, how much does this bronze hourglass cost? Please give me a price. This thing looks pretty good. If the price is right, I would like to accept this bronze hourglass!"
Hearing this, the stall owner suddenly felt ecstatic.
He was even more certain that Ye Tian was just a man in name only, in fact he was just a stick!
In the past, the legends about Ye Tian's sharp eyesight and how he had never seen anything wrong were nothing more than legends.
This **** Steven is a real super-rich man with a lot of money in his pocket. This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must not let this **** off lightly!
Brother, you must seek justice and vent your anger for the people of Paris. This **** Steven destroyed Paris so much and scared everyone so much in the past two days!
Thinking about this, the stall owner was ready to open his mouth and kill Ye Tian with a knife, and make a lot of money!
At this moment, an excited voice suddenly came from the side, blocking the stall owner's words.
"Excuse me, Mr. Steven, can you interrupt me for a moment, can you let me see the bronze hourglass in your hand? That bronze hourglass looks good, I'm very interested!"
You are the one waiting for me, the fish finally bites the hook!
Ye Tian sneered secretly, then turned to look at the guys not far away.
The same goes for the white stall owners in the stall. They turned to look at those guys with a slightly unhappy look in their eyes, secretly hating those guys for being nosy.
"Guys, I'm talking about this deal, and it seems like you shouldn't intervene at this time. This is against the rules! So I'm very sorry, but you can't look at this bronze hourglass for the time being!"
Ye Tian said coldly, rejecting the requests of those guys.
During this process, he always held the bronze hourglass with no intention of letting it go.
He doesn’t know how good those greedy idiots are at appraisal. If they don’t keep it right, they can tell the authenticity of this bronze hourglass!
To be on the safe side, he could only hold the bronze hourglass and try to avoid those guys from inspecting the bronze hourglass in person.
After he finished speaking, he ignored the guys next to him and turned back to the stall owner, waiting for the stall owner to give a price!
The stall owner also turned around, put on a bright smile, and opened his lion's mouth.
“Hello, Mr. Steven, I won’t introduce you to this simple bronze hourglass. You are a famous antique art appraisal expert and you must know more than me!
The price of this bronze hourglass is 50,000 euros. I wonder if you can accept it? If you can settle in cash, the price can be lowered appropriately, and you know the reason! "
"Ouch! You are so evil-minded, you are taking your brother for granted!"
Ye Tian sighed secretly and almost laughed out of anger!
But the play had to go on. After a brief pause, he said hesitantly:
"Sorry, the price is too high and I can't accept it. There is no problem with cash payment. I carry enough cash, but I want to hear a sincere offer!"
A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the secondhand stall owner, and then he pretended to think about it, and then said with great pain:
"Since you are paying in cash, I can save a lot of tax, so I can also lower the price appropriately. Forty-five thousand euros is the lowest price I can accept!"
Ye Tian looked at the bronze hourglass in his hand, then shook his head with a wry smile and said:
“Although this bronze hourglass is a very good treasure, the price of 45,000 euros is still a bit high. It would be nice if it could be lowered!”
Next, he and the white stall owner in the stall went back and forth to raise prices, showing great enthusiasm.
During the bargaining process, he never made an offer. He just kept adding to the atmosphere with his expressions and words, trying his best to express his love for the bronze hourglass.
The one who took the initiative to quote and kept lowering the price was the white stall owner from beginning to end.
Ye Tian was afraid that as soon as he reported the price, the white stall owner would immediately nod his head and agree to sell this bronze hourglass to him. That would be a fool!
While talking, the price of this bronze hourglass has dropped to 32,000 euros.
As a veteran of the Santouan Flea Market, when the white stall owner reported the price, his expression was one of pain. It was definitely worth an Oscar!
Ye Tian's performance was even more exciting than that of the white stall owner. When he heard the offer, his face immediately showed a look of joy, and he seemed ready to nod and agree to take this bronze hourglass!
At this moment, the untimely voice that Ye Tian had been expecting for a long time suddenly came again.
"Man, thirty-four thousand euros, I want this bronze hourglass, pay in cash!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian and the white stall owner turned their heads to the right and looked at those idiots.
The idiots who had already stepped into the trap were staring closely at the bronze hourglass in Ye Tian's hand, their eyes extremely hot, as if they were looking at a huge treasure!
"Gentlemen, this is a bit inappropriate, isn't it? Isn't it disrespectful?"
Ye Tian said coldly, looking very unhappy.
Those idiots don't care about rules or demeanor at this time. They only have that bronze hourglass and colorful banknotes in their eyes!
Without any hesitation, the guy who just quoted the price said with great expectation:
"Sorry, Steven, I really like this bronze hourglass and really want to buy it. Besides, the highest bidder gets it, and there's nothing wrong with that!"
This guy is also a stick! marvelous!
The white stall owner almost cheered with excitement, then turned to look at Ye Tian, expecting him to respond, start a fierce competition with the guys next to him, and just reap the benefits!
But the development of things was beyond his expectation!
After hesitating and thinking for a moment, Ye Tian put the bronze hourglass back on the table, then said with a wry smile:
"It seems that this bronze hourglass has no fate with me. It's such a pity. Man, since you like this treasure, then I will be as beautiful as you are!
However, I still want to remind you that in the antique art business, you still have to abide by the rules, otherwise you will regret it some time. Goodbye! "
After saying that, Ye Tian turned around and walked away with Betty, heading to another stall not far away without any hesitation!
The white stall owner froze on the spot and left now? It’s too straightforward!
The idiot next to him picked up the bronze hourglass and admired it with joy. His eyes were so hot that he almost burst out laughing!
