In the blink of an eye, another ten minutes passed.
Ye Tian and the others walked out of an antique shop on the street. They were talking and laughing, looking very relaxed.
Although the owner of the antique shop who sent them out had a smile on his face, there was a bit of anxiety and even a hint of regret in his eyes.
Obviously, this antique store did not escape the bad luck of being ransacked by Ye Tian!
However, the antique shop owner did not know how much the antique he sold was worth or whether it had been looted, so he acted like this.
As soon as he walked out of the antique store, Ye Tian raised his eyes and saw several familiar old friends walking quickly towards here.
The visitors were Pandermaris, several antique art appraisal experts and several senior officials from the Acropolis Museum.
The Acropolis Museum is only a few hundred meters away from this flea market. Pandemalis and the others were the first to receive the news and the fastest to get here.
The Acropolis Museum is also one of the most authoritative institutions in the study of the sculpture art of Pheidias.
As for the statue of Athena by Phidias, the **** of classical sculpture, the Acropolis Museum in Athens dreams of owning one, even if it is a fragment of the statue!
Hearing the news that Ye Tian had discovered the remains of the statue of Pheidias, Pandmaris and the others immediately left the museum and rushed here without being able to sit still.
While talking, these old friends came closer.
Before he could stand firm, Pandemalis said impatiently:
"Stephen, I heard that you just bought a fragment of a marble statue at this flea market, which has been identified as part of the statue of Athena by Phidias, the **** of classical sculpture.
Can we see the remains of the marble statue? If it is really the remains of Phidias's sculpture, then there is no doubt that this is a great discovery that will shock the world! ”
When he said these words, Pandemalis's voice was trembling a little, and his eyes were fixed on the metal trolley case in David's hand, unwilling to look away for a moment.
The other guys from the Acropolis Museum behaved in the same way. They all stared at the black metal trolley case with extremely hot eyes.
However, Ye Tian smiled and shook his head gently, giving a negative answer.
"Pandermaris, you are very well informed. Yes, I did collect a fragment of a marble statue just now. It is the left forearm of a female sculpture, and it is a classical sculpture.
As for the identification conclusion I gave, it is just a family opinion. Whether the fragment of the statue is part of the work of Phidias, the **** of classical sculpture, requires further research to determine.
You can appreciate and identify the remains of the statue, but not here. You can also see that the environment here is not suitable for doing this, and we still have some things to do.
At eight o'clock in the evening, come to Coco Mart Hotel. I'm going to hold a small appreciation party. By then, you can carefully appreciate and identify the remains of the marble statue.
Maria from the National Archaeological Museum of Greece and several antique art appraisal experts, as well as George and Dimitri, as well as some other professionals will also participate in this appreciation meeting"
Hearing this, what can people like the Acropolis Museum say? The thing is not in their hands, they have no initiative and can only listen to Ye Tian.
After pondering for a moment, Pandemalis nodded and said:
"This is a good arrangement, Steven. We are just waiting for the small appreciation party in the evening to take a good look at the remains of the marble statue. To be honest, I can't wait, and I can't wait for the night to come soon!"
"Don't worry, Pandemalis, there are only a few hours until eight o'clock in the evening. With this little time, you can just do your homework"
Ye Tian said with a smile, his expression very relaxed.
Next, he chatted with these old friends for a few more words, then said goodbye and left, walking along the street and continuing to visit this famous flea market.
Looking at Ye Tian's leaving figure and looking at the many trophies carried by David and others in their hands, these professionals from the Acropolis Museum couldn't help but sigh with envy.
"It seems that the legend is correct. God will always stand with this guy Steven and will always take care of him. This guy's luck is so good. He can find any treasure. It can make people crazy with envy. ! ”
"Yes! This guy Steven is indeed extremely lucky and has extremely sharp eyesight, but the antique dealers at the Acropolis Flea Market have been unlucky for eight lifetimes!
Look, after this **** Steven’s crazy looting, this historic flea market will be severely damaged. It won’t be able to recover in a few years! ”
While these professionals were sighing with emotion, Ye Tian and the others had already walked to an antique stall and began to look at the goods on that stall.
Soon, they left the stall selling antique art, or so-called antique art, and walked to the next stall without taking anything away.
About ten minutes later, George, the top collector who had just called, rushed to the flea market with several appraisal experts and bodyguards, and approached Ye Tian, his expression as anxious as if the house was on fire.
Seeing this old friend, Ye Tian also rejected the other party's request to appreciate and identify the fragments of the marble statue, and repeated what he had just said to Pandemalis.
George could only accept Ye Tian's arrangement and wait until eight o'clock in the evening to go to the Coco Mart Hotel and appreciate the fragment of the marble statue at the appreciation meeting to see if it was part of Phidias's work.
Next, Ye Tianlu received many more calls from all over the world, including calls from familiar old friends, colleagues, and calls from the U.S. Department of Culture and the Greek Ministry of Culture. foot.
The purpose of these guys' calls were all the same, which was to inquire about the remains of the marble statue and whether it was the remains of Phidias's work.
Some of them, like George, expressed their willingness to buy the marble statue before they even saw it, and their bids were higher than the others, quite determined to win.
Ye Tian's response was very simple. He sent invitations to all his old friends who had a certain influence in Athens, Greece, to participate in the appreciation party held tonight.
As for those old friends and colleagues who are not in Athens, Greece, you can appreciate the remains of the marble statue through high-definition video and participate in this small appreciation event remotely!
At that time, the appraisal conclusions given by many antique art appraisal experts on site can be heard by everyone.
As phone calls came in one after another, the news that this suspected fragment of Pheidias’s work had been discovered suddenly became more and more sensational.
People who received the news were all waiting for the night to come and for the start of the small appreciation party that was destined to be highly anticipated at eight o'clock in the evening.
The core figure in this matter, Ye Tian, still led a group of men and continued to sweep the Athens Flea Market frantically, looking very likely to sweep the place away!
Soon, the time came to around three in the afternoon.
The company employees and security personnel who followed Ye Tian returned to the hotel several times to put away the trophies that Ye Tian had swept away.
However, the metal trolley box containing the fragments of the marble statue was always in David's hands and never left Ye Tian's sight.
In fact, he did not dare to let this trolley case leave his sight. That would be tantamount to providing others with the opportunity to steal this national treasure of Greece.
While talking, Ye Tian and the others walked into a small antique shop on the street.
Seeing them pushing the door open, the owner of the antique shop couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he had to come forward and say hello to Ye Tian and the others.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, welcome, nice to meet you, I am Norris, the owner of this small antique shop"
"Good afternoon, Mr. Norris, I'm glad to see you too. Your antique shop looks very nice and elegant. I like it very much"
Ye Tian said politely with a smile and shook hands with the antique shop owner.
After some polite remarks, Norris said with an anxious expression:
"I don't know what you want to see? Mr. Steven, let me introduce it to you"
"Let's take a casual look first, Norris. You can go and receive other guests. I will greet you if necessary"
As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed at the other two customers in the store and nodded lightly to them as a greeting.
"Okay, Mr. Steven, you are free to do so. If you need anything, you can call me at any time"
Norris nodded in response, then turned and walked towards the other two guests, his expression still uneasy.
Next, Ye Tian took David and the others and began to appreciate the goods displayed in this antique store.
After a while, he suddenly pointed to a painted pottery bowl on the shelf and asked curiously:
"Mr. Norris, where does this painted pottery bowl come from and when is it from? Judging from the painted pattern on it, this seems to be an antique from the late 19th century"
Hearing this, Norris immediately turned his head and looked over.
The moment he saw the painted pottery bowl, he took a deep breath and relaxed a lot.
"Mr. Steven, you can take a look at that pottery bowl. The painted bowl set is indeed from the late nineteenth century and was a gift from a young Athenian painter to his lover.
The painted pattern on the pottery bowl was painted by the young artist himself, and there is also a Greek love poem written in the bowl, which is "To Annadolia" by the ancient Greek poet Sappho."
"Wow! I like Sappho's "To Anna Doria". This ancient love poem is quite touching. It seems like this is a very romantic gift. Let me enjoy it!"
Ye Tian pretended to be amazed and said, reaching out to pick up the painted bowl set on the shelf and admiring it carefully.
However, a look of surprise quickly flashed across his eyes hidden by his sunglasses.
Here and there are painted pottery bowls from the late 19th century. They are clearly striped pottery bowls from ancient Greece. They have a history of at least two thousand years. They are extremely precious. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are priceless treasures!
The young Athenian painter of the 19th century was obviously a lover.
The guy didn't know where he found such a priceless treasure. In order to please his lover, he painted and wrote poems on this striped inlaid pottery bowl, and then gave it to his lover as a gift.
In this way, the true identity of this priceless treasure was completely obscured, turning it into a very ordinary 19th-century painted pottery bowl and a romantic token of love.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian suddenly had the urge to laugh out loud, and he was also full of gratitude for that late nineteenth-century Romeo.
