It was lunch time, but Ye Tian and the others did not return to the nearby hotel for dinner.
The group of them found a random restaurant in Sarea Square, and then sat in the outdoor dining area, enjoying the scenery, laughing and chatting, and enjoying a simple lunch.
Nearly four hours have passed since arriving at Sarea Square in the morning, but Ye Tian and the others have only visited two-thirds of the stalls in the antique market!
In other words, one third of the antique stalls are still unvisited, which is why they continue to stay in Sarea Square.
At this time, the Scottish buckler of the beautiful prince Charlie was placed at Ye Tian's feet, attracting countless envious, jealous, or greedy eyes.
Beside each of Taylor and Cole, there is a large or small trolley suitcase, each of which is bulging and full of things.
What is in those boxes is the harvest of Ye Tian’s crazy sweep of the antique market in Saraya Square. Every piece of antique art inside is worth a lot of money!
As for Bowie, who was closely cooperating with Ye Tian and secretly raiding Sarea Square, he was not in the square at this time!
He once again returned to the hotel not far away to put away his harvest. The huge suitcase he was dragging was once again filled with antiques and art.
And that guy Fresis also left Sarea Square.
After Ye Tian helped him appraise the three pieces of antique art, he handed the stall to the friend next to him to take care of it. He took the three valuable antique weapons and left immediately.
As an antique dealer who makes a living in Sarea Square, he is very familiar with the security situation here. There is great danger in staying here for a second longer, so it is the best way!
The total value of the three antique weapons is nearly 10 million euros, which will inevitably attract countless coveted eyes. If they are not preserved, some people will take risks and prepare to rob!
When leaving Sarea Square, Fresis accepted Ye Tian's suggestion.
He asked the Nice police to send someone to protect him, **** him to the Sotheby's auction house in Nice, and directly put the three antique weapons up for auction!
And Ye Tian personally called his old friend at the Sotheby's auction house in France to ask the auction house to prepare and send security personnel to respond along the way!
In this way, some guys will be completely cut off from their thoughts, leaving those guys with no time to plan and prepare for the robbery, and can only sigh in despair!
Within a few minutes of sitting down in the outdoor dining area of this restaurant and having a few drinks, the waiter brought everyone’s lunch.
Since we are in Nice, it is natural for everyone to taste Nice’s unique delicacies to make the trip worthwhile.
What was placed on the table in front of Ye Tian was pizzaladière (pizza made with onions and anchovy sauce), socca (pancakes made from chickpea flour), bouillabaisse, and a Nice salad.
All of these are famous local delicacies in Nice. Ye Tian and Betty have eaten them before, and they quite like them, and they taste pretty good!
At the tables where Cole and the others were sitting next to them, there were basically the same delicacies.
In addition to these, there is also a sandwich called 'Pan-bagnat', which is made of French bread with onions, cooked eggs, tuna, olives, etc., which is also a local delicacy.
In addition, there are some unique local drinks in Nice, which taste great and have a unique taste.
As before, when the waiter brought these delicacies to the table, Ye Tian secretly turned on the X-ray as usual and quickly looked through all the delicacies without missing a single dish!
The reason why he did this was to prevent anyone from tampering with it or adding some disgusting ingredients, such as spit.
I have encountered this kind of thing several times before, so I have to be careful!
Fortunately, this time it was not bad. Ye Tian did not find anything inappropriate in these delicacies, so you can enjoy it with confidence!
After making sure it was safe, Ye Tian withdrew his gaze and ended the fluoroscopy.
"Let's get started. After enjoying this delicious lunch and taking a short rest, we can continue to visit the antique market. I believe there are more surprises waiting for us"
With that said, Ye Tian picked up the knife and fork and prepared to use it.
At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from beside him, interrupting his movements.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, excuse me, I have something I want to talk to you about. I wonder if you are free?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately put down the knife and fork in his hand and turned his head to look over.
The speaker is a white man in his fifties or sixties. He is tall, slightly fat, and has a red face. Judging from his clothes, he should be a rich man who came to Nice for vacation. He is worth a lot of money!
Beside the white man, stood a charming white woman in her forties, who should be the white man's partner.
Behind them were two tall bodyguards who looked a little nervous, staring closely at Ye Tian and Cole, who were always on guard.
Ye Tian quickly looked at these people, and secretly turned on the clairvoyance, taking a clear look at these people, and instantly grasped their identities.
Although the two bodyguards at the back were carrying pistols, Ye Tian knew that these people were not a threat and were not his enemies. They should have something to discuss with him.
After retracting his gaze and ending the perspective, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Sir, we don't seem to know each other. I wonder what you want to talk to me about? I'm very curious. Please sit down, you two. We can drink coffee and communicate at the same time."
After saying that, Ye Tian stood up and made a gesture to sit down with his hand. Betty also stood up and nodded to him.
The white man immediately stepped forward, shook hands with Ye Tian, and introduced himself.
"Steven, it's nice to meet you. I've known you for a long time. My name is Byron. I'm from Edinburgh, Scotland. This is my wife Grace. We came to Nice for vacation, and we happened to meet you here"
"Hello, Byron and Grace, I'm glad to meet you too. Nice is a beautiful resort. It seems that you enjoy the warm sunshine of the Mediterranean and the sunbathing results are good!"
Ye Tian shook hands with the other party and made a little joke.
After the two parties got to know each other, Byron and Grace sat down. Ye Tian immediately called the waiter and ordered two cups of coffee for them.
After a few pleasantries and small talk, Byron got down to business and explained his purpose.
"Steven, we have just witnessed how you found this Scottish buckler of Prince Charley, and gave an accurate identification conclusion and valuation. It is very exciting and breathtaking.
As you said, this is a priceless national treasure antique and a well-deserved Scottish national treasure. We are from Edinburgh, and our ancestors are somewhat related to the Stuart dynasty.
The reason why I came here to bother you is because of the Scottish buckler belonging to the beautiful Prince Charlie. I want to buy this national treasure-level antique with special meaning from you and bring it back to Edinburgh, Scotland.
As for the price of this Scottish buckler, according to the valuation you just gave, it is 15 million euros. I wonder if you are willing to sell it? If you like, we can trade now"
After finishing speaking, Byron stared closely at Ye Tian's face, his eyes full of expectation, looking forward to hearing the answer he wanted most.
"Sure enough! I guessed that you came here for this beautiful Prince Charlie's Scottish buckler"
Ye Tian said secretly in his heart, but he did not give an answer immediately.
He pretended to think for a while, and then said with a smile:
"Byron, I have no intention of collecting this Scottish buckler specially made by the beautiful prince Charlie, and I am also willing to sell it to you so that you can take this Scottish national treasure back to Edinburgh.
However, if we conduct transactions in France, the price of this Scottish buckler is not 15 million euros, but 18 million euros.
If you are willing to wait a little longer for me to bring this top-notch antique back to New York and we can trade it, then the transaction price will be 15 million euros.
You also know that the tax burden on art in France is very high. If the transaction is completed in France, I will have to pay a large amount of taxes. If the transaction is done in New York, I can avoid a lot of taxes.
The price I paid for this buckler is 6,500 euros. When I leave France, I only need to pay a customs tax on this basis, and I can leave with it!
This customs tax is so small that it can be ignored. If I trade this antique in France, the tax-calculated price will be 15 million euros. There is a huge difference between the two! "
Hearing this, Byron and Grace were both dumbfounded. They both stared at Ye Tian with their eyes filled with disbelief.
After a while, the two of them woke up.
"This guy is so cunning and calculating! He is just like a thousand-year-old fox. No wonder he is able to prosper and make a fortune. He really deserves his reputation!"
Byron secretly complained crazily and then fell into deep thought.
Perhaps he was in an urgent mood, perhaps he had no shortage of money in his pocket, or perhaps he was worried about the long nights and dreams, Byron made a decision quickly.
"Okay, Steven, eighteen million euros, I accept this price, and we will complete this antique transaction in Nice, the sooner the better"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise from the antique market.
Ye Tian immediately stopped talking and turned to look at the antique market, wondering what happened there.
I saw many stall owners at the antique market suddenly starting to pack up their things, and they seemed to be preparing to close their stalls and leave Sarea Square.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel very surprised.
"It's still early, there's still half a day left. Why did these stall owners suddenly close their stalls? Could something have happened?"
Just when he was confused, Byron suddenly interrupted and said:
"When I came over there just now, I heard several antique dealers talking. They were preparing to close their stalls in advance to prevent you from looting the entire antique market, just like what you did in Saint-Ouan in Paris!"
"Hahaha"
Everyone at the scene laughed and turned to look at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian also laughed and shrugged his shoulders pretending to be helpless.
Yes! The remaining one-third of the stalls in the Antique Market in Saraya Square have been spared, and the goal of looting the place has not been achieved!
