After wandering around in the bookstore for a while, Ye Tian and the others said goodbye and walked out of Brown's bookstore.
Next to the bookstore, there is a shop selling silverware. The door is open. There are a lot of silverware inside and outside the store, mainly silver tableware, and they are all modern crafts.
When walking past this silver shop, Ye Tian quickly glanced at the shining silver shop, and then walked past the door with Betty and the others without stopping for even half a step.
Opposite the silver shop is a flower shop. All kinds of flowers are blooming and colorful, decorating Portobello Street, adding a bit of color and beauty to the place.
The next thing that appeared was a shop selling antique rugby balls, antique cricket balls, and antique golf equipment. There were many antique golf equipment inside and outside the store.
At this point, Ye Tian couldn't help but stop and began to admire these relatively niche antiques, and quickly scanned the area he could see to see if he could find anything.
Compared with the collection of sports items in the United States, this type of collection in the UK has a longer history and a wider range of categories, including many traditional British sports, such as cricket.
Unfortunately, Ye Tian did not find anything that moved his heart inside and outside this antique shop, which was a little regretful!
Although this store also has some valuable antique golf equipment and other supplies, those items are signed with the name of the previous owner and written with the age. The value is clear at a glance, and there is nothing missing!
At this point, all sports antiques at home and abroad are the same. Only those antiques signed by celebrities or famous generals and commemorative editions with special significance are valuable. Other than that, they are not worth mentioning.
Even if a cricket bat once belonged to the Queen of England, or even appeared on some major historical occasion, if it is bare and no signatures or marks can be seen, its value will not be that high!
The reason is very simple. Without a signature or other imprint, people will have no way to identify its origin and see its special significance, so the value will naturally not increase!
If there are signatures and imprints on it, the value will go up, but it will be difficult to escape the sharp eyes of antique dealers, so Ye Tian has nothing to miss here!
Of course, those antique golf clubs made of special materials, such as gold golf clubs, are not included here!
After shopping around in this antique store, he took out an antique golf club and waved it gently at the door of the store. Ye Tian put down the golf club and left the sports antique store with Betty and the others. shop.
Seeing them leave, the owner of the antique shop couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot. At the same time, he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Although he successfully avoided being picked up, Ye Tian's actions were enough to show that there were no hidden treasures in this store. How could he not disappoint the store owner?
Not only the owner of this antique shop, but also the owners of other shops are in a very conflicted mood!
They are not only afraid that Ye Tian will pick up leaks in his shop and take away the treasures and wealth that originally belong to them, but they also hope that Ye Tian will discover one or two top-notch antiques and artworks to make his shop famous!
Of course, there is a premise here, that is, Ye Tian discovered the top antique art and gave an accurate valuation, but did not take it away!
Is this possible? Totally impossible!
Everyone in the field of antique art knows very well that that **** Steven is extremely greedy and will never let go of any opportunity to pick up missing pieces, especially those top-grade antique art!
Moving forward, Ye Tian and the others saw shops and stalls selling second-hand bags, antique LV suitcases, second-hand clothing, antique records, souvenirs, and various specialty snacks!
In these shops and stalls, Ye Tian found several forgotten antique works of art. Although the value was not high, it was still worth selling.
Ye Tian did not take action to take down the items he found. He sent the relevant information to Bowie, preparing for Bowie to take action and secretly scan the goods!
A moment later, Bowie would enter those shops or visit those stalls, and by the time he left, he had made something and had a big smile on his face.
As for Ye Tian and the others, they continued to stroll on the street not far ahead, as if they were walking in the old days!
Each of them was in a very relaxed state, laughing and chatting while admiring the scenery on both sides of the street and all kinds of items!
The numerous security personnel scattered around them were loose on the outside and tight on the inside. They were always on high alert and ready to respond at any time.
The security personnel disguised as tourists had already blended into the crowd, walking around Ye Tian and the others at a distance or close, secretly protecting Ye Tian and the others, and always paying attention to the surrounding situation.
The London policemen from Scotland Yard following Ye Tian and the others were also on high alert, staring closely at Ye Tian and the others, not daring to relax for a moment!
While talking, Ye Tian and the others had arrived at another stall.
This is a porcelain stall, placed on the sidewalk on the right side of the street. The stall is not big, and the goods are not very many. There are only thirty or forty pieces in total, and they are placed at random heights on the solid wood shelves!
When he got here, Ye Tian stopped immediately, nodded to the stall owner and said hello, and then looked at the porcelain on the stall.
The porcelain displayed on the stalls includes porcelain from China and local European porcelain. The styles are very different, and they look a little messy when placed together.
After taking a quick glance at the many porcelains on the stall, Ye Tian pointed to a pair of vases inlaid with gilt copper handles on the second floor of the wooden stand and asked the stall owner:
"Good morning, sir, I'm Steven, nice to meet you, can I have a look at that pair of vases? That pair of vases looks pretty good!"
The white stall owner in his fifties took a deep look at Ye Tian, then turned to look at the pair of fancy vases. There was a bit of joy and a bit of doubt in his eyes, but more of a warning.
After thinking for a moment, the stall owner nodded and said:
"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I've long known you. I'm Andy. Welcome to my porcelain stall. I'm also very happy to meet you. It's an honor! Of course you can look at the pair of vases, just be careful. ! ”
With that said, Andy stepped forward and shook hands with Ye Tian, and made a gesture of invitation. He turned to look at the pair of vases again, and the doubt in his eyes became even stronger!
"Okay! Mr. Andy, I will be careful"
Ye Tian nodded in response, then walked forward, reached out and took down a vase from the wooden stand, held it in his hand and began to admire it, looking quite attentive!
While admiring this European vase, the corner of his eye was always staring at another vase placed in the corner of the porcelain stall, with a hint of surprise flashing through his eyes from time to time.
Fortunately, his performance was very good, and no one at the scene, including Betty, noticed anything unusual.
The vase in the corner is Ye Tian's real goal, and it is also the real reason why he stopped in front of this porcelain stall. The pair of flashy European-style vases in front of him are just a cover-up!
Of course, this pair of European-style vases is not bad. They are also a pair of antique vases, but they are far from enough to make Ye Tian's heart move and make him take action for them!
After pretending to watch or perform attentively, Ye Tian raised his head, looked at the stall owner with a smile and said:
"Andy, how much do these European-style vases cost? If the price is right, I intend to get them"
Hearing this, Andy was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the vase in Ye Tian's hand again, his eyes were both surprised and confused, very complicated!
After a moment of pause, he gave the answer.
"Steven, these European-style vases cost 120,000 pounds. If you can accept the price, you can take away these vases!"
"Ouch——! This is why I would rather kill the wrong person than let go!"
Ye Tian complained secretly and almost laughed out loud.
He had already expected this situation to occur and was not surprised at all!
No matter which antique market he goes to now, all antique dealers will be on high alert, lest they be picked up by him, or even be robbed wildly, and become another unlucky guy and another joke in the antique market!
Therefore, when many antique dealers face him, they will ask for high prices without considering the actual value of the subject matter. Some guys are not even willing to do his business, and would rather not make money to avoid being cheated!
"Wow! 120,000 pounds, this is really an exaggerated price! If I read it correctly, this should be a pair of vases from the Royal Vasais Porcelain Company.
The porcelain of the British Royal Vassei is indeed good, but I really can’t see how the value of this pair of vases is worth 120,000 pounds? Do they have another story?
Andy, can you explain this to me? If this pair of vases were used by Queen Victoria, let alone 120,000 pounds, it would be 1.2 million pounds, and I would accept it! "
Ye Tian said with a smile pretending to be surprised, with a somewhat narrow smile in his eyes.
Hearing these words, Andy was stunned. He stared at Ye Tian with his mouth open, and his face quickly turned red!
