The Hispanic stall owner thought for a moment and finally rejected Ye Tian.
“I’m very sorry, Steven, three thousand euros is really not enough”
This was exactly what Ye Tian wanted, so he immediately pointed to his real target and asked with a smile:
“Since I can’t buy an oil painting, let me take a look at these promotional posters. Man, what’s the price of that promotional poster? If I’m not mistaken, it should be a promotional poster for ‘Moulin Rouge’, right?
I have admired the world-famous ‘Moulin Rouge’ for a long time. I have always wanted to go there and see it with my own eyes, see the grotto where people reveled in money and music every night, and enjoy the charming ‘Cancan dance’.
We will go there to visit later. Unexpectedly, before visiting the ‘Moulin Rouge’, we can actually encounter an antique promotional poster of the ‘Moulin Rouge’ here. What a good luck! “
It was an old dance hall promotional poster, about one meter wide and one meter high. It was clamped on the display stand with two clips, swinging gently in the breeze.
The paper of the poster is slightly yellowish in color, with some damage at the corners and a few deep creases. It seems to be old at first glance, and the preservation condition is not very ideal!
More importantly, the words July 1892 were written in the lower right corner of the ‘Moulin Rouge’ promotional poster. The writing was clearly visible, so Ye Tiancai said it was an antique promotional poster!
As for this, everyone with a discerning eye knows that there is no way to hide it, and there is no need to hide it!
On the promotional poster, in the center is a passionate, **** and charming dancer, wearing a red dance skirt embroidered with gold edges, dancing the French cancan, with her body swaying and her skirt flying.
During the dance, she kicked up her fair and translucent left leg. Through the gap in the flying dance skirt, you could vaguely see a trace of spring under the skirt, which made people imagine!
Surrounding the dancer were a group of gentlemen in formal suits and top hats. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the **** and charming dancer, their eyes full of intoxication!
The background of the painting is the neon-lit and bustling Moulin Rouge ballroom, the most famous ballroom in France at the end of the 19th century and the gold-selling cave where music was played every night.
There is no author’s signature on the poster, and this is the opportunity Ye Tian missed!
The Hispanic stall owner turned to look at the promotional poster, then nodded slightly disappointedly and said:
“Yes, that’s the promotional poster for the “Moulin Rouge” ballroom. It was painted in 1892. It is an antique poster with a history of hundreds of years and is slightly damaged!
The price of the ‘Moulin Rouge’ promotional poster is six hundred and fifty euros. If you can accept the price, then it belongs to you. It is a good souvenir! “
In the eyes of this Hispanic stall owner, it was just a dance hall promotional poster with some history. It didn’t have the author’s signature on it, so it probably wasn’t worth much money.
And that poster was just a thin piece of paper, without a frame or backboard, so it couldn’t possibly hide any secrets, just like the Gauguin paintings Ye Tian discovered in Barbizon!
In Paris at the end of the 19th century, promotional posters for the “Moulin Rouge” ballroom like this were posted everywhere in Paris. There were countless of them, and there are also a few that have survived to this day!
More importantly, the style of painting shown on the promotional poster is somewhere between Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, but neither, which also affects the judgment of its value.
Because of this, the Hispanic stall owner offered a price of 650 euros. At this price, it was because of Ye Tian’s identity that he deliberately raised the price!
If there were other people standing opposite, the price quoted by the Hispanic stall owner would definitely be lower.
Hearing the offer, Ye Tian was so excited that he almost cheered.
Six hundred and fifty euros! It’s just like picking it up for free!
However, Ye Tian did not immediately nod his head and agreed. When acting, he had to perform a full set. In order to make the performance more realistic, he was still prepared to kill the price.
Pretending to think, he calmed down his excitement a little, and then said with a smile:
“Although that propaganda poster has a history of more than a hundred years and is considered an antique poster, its state of preservation is really poor. Six hundred and fifty euros is a bit expensive. Five hundred euros, I will accept that poster. ! “
Five hundred euros! This price has far exceeded the psychological price of Hispanic stall owners, and it can be considered a small profit. There is no reason to disagree!
For him, it was an antique poster that was collected as garbage. If he could sell it, he would make money. Five hundred euros was already a big surprise!
Lest Ye Tian would regret it, the Hispanic stall owner nodded and accepted Ye Tian’s offer without any hesitation!
“Okay, Steven, five hundred euros, deal! This ‘Moulin Rouge’ promotional poster belongs to you!”
“Deal! Five hundred euros”
Ye Tian shook hands with the Hispanic stall owner, with a bright smile on his face.
After shaking hands and sealing the deal, Ye Tian immediately took out his wallet, took out 500 euros and handed it to the overjoyed, but actually deceived Hispanic guy.
After putting away the five hundred euros, this guy turned around, took down the antique promotional poster from the ‘Moulin Rouge’ ballroom, and handed it to Ye Tian, his face still full of joy.
Taking the promotional poster, Ye Tian pretended to look through it first, then admired it carefully, and then said to the Hispanic stall owner:
“Man, please issue a certificate to prove that I purchased this poster from you, so that I can successfully pass French customs with this poster!
As you can see, the preservation condition of this promotional poster is not very ideal. I can’t just carry it in my hand. It is very inconvenient. Please give me a telescopic painting tube! “
As he spoke, Ye Tian took out another hundred euros from his wallet and handed it to the Hispanic stall owner.
Hearing this, Betty and Anderson’s eyes instantly lit up and shone brightly!
This scene is so familiar!
Needless to ask, that slightly old-looking ‘Moulin Rouge’ promotional poster is by no means an ordinary thing worth only 500 euros, but a top-notch work of art worth a lot of money!
There is no doubt that Steven made another shocking mistake. As for the Hispanic stall owner, he became another miserable unlucky guy who was severely cheated!
Although they were extremely excited, Betty and the others controlled their emotions in the blink of an eye and did not behave too abnormally.
They have seen scenes like this countless times and have already practiced it!
“No problem, Steven, I’ll give you a certificate right now. There are several telescopic painting tubes on the stall, you can choose whatever you want!”
The Hispanic stall owner agreed very readily and reached out to take the one hundred euros handed over by Ye Tian.
Immediately afterwards, this guy lowered his head and began to write the proof.
Ye Tianze leaned over and picked up a black telescopic painting tube from the stall, then opened it and prepared to put the promotional poster into it.
At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from the crowd watching the excitement.
“Steven, tell us about the ‘Moulin Rouge’ promotional poster. It will make you excited and buy it. I think that promotional poster must be unusual and definitely not ordinary!”
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and looked at the crowd on the right.
The speaker is a white man in his fifties, dressed casually, with a few patches of paint on his clothes. He looks like a painter, with a bit of an artist’s temperament.
As soon as this person finished speaking, someone next to him began to echo.
“Yes, Steven, tell us about that promotional poster. How much is that poster worth? I think it must be more than five hundred euros, right?”
“Steven, you have discovered many treasures in France, and this promotional oil painting must be no exception. Tell us about it, everyone here wants to know the answer!”
Hearing these words, the Hispanic guy who had just issued the certificate suddenly felt his heart skip a beat and screamed inwardly. Could it be that I was tricked by this **** Steven?
Thinking of this, he immediately raised his head and looked at Ye Tian, his eyes filled with surprise and a bit of regret!
Ye Tian did not immediately reply to everyone’s inquiries. He first reached out to take the certificate from the Hispanic stall owner, put it into his pocket, and then looked at the people present calmly.
He quickly glanced around the scene, then said loudly with a smile:
“Since everyone is strongly demanding and the hospitality is hard to refuse, I will tell you about this antique promotional poster of the “Moulin Rouge” ballroom to clear up your doubts!
Before that, I would like to hear what the previous owner of this antique promotional poster thought of this promotional poster? Rodriguez, can you tell us something? “
As he spoke, Ye Tian turned to look at the Hispanic stall owner, Rodriguez.
At this time, this guy’s face had become very ugly, ashen, and his eyes were filled with regret!
Rodriguez was 100% sure that he had been tricked by the abominable **** in front of him and missed out on a valuable piece of art!
Although he still didn’t understand what the value of that ‘Moulin Rouge’ promotional poster was, he was very sure!
“Man, tell everyone about that promotional poster, everyone wants to hear it!”
“Just, man, be generous!”
There was a sound of agreement or booing at the scene, and some of them were gloating about the misfortune.
It’s the same everywhere, as long as it doesn’t concern them, there are always people who are watching the fun and not taking it too seriously!
