"Mr. Liu, how does the owner of this antique shop come from? Are you familiar with it? When I just came in, I glanced at the so-called antique artworks in this shop. To be honest, it's not very good!"
Ye Tian asked in a low voice curiously, a little disdain in his eyes.
He and Mr. Liu arrived here about half an hour earlier, but did not see the antique shop owner. According to the clerk, the owner went to the hotel to pick up the French collector and would be back soon.
It is precisely because the owner of the antique shop who has never met is not in the reception room, Ye Tian will ask so, don't worry about embarrassment!
To say that the antique art in this shop is not so good is already a very polite statement!
From entering this antique shop until being led into the reception room by the clerk, Ye Tian only saw two authentic pieces. They were two pieces of famille rose porcelain from the Republic of China, which were not worth much!
In addition, none of the other porcelains on the museum shelf, the calligraphy and paintings hanging, all kinds of miscellaneous items, etc. are genuine, all fake!
Some of the so-called antique works of art are not even high imitations. They are fake goods that the insiders say, the quality is extremely poor! No half-point value!
Located near Shanghai’s Old Town God’s Temple, this place is a famous tourist area, where tourists gather, and these fake antique works of art are obviously used for tourists! Disgusting!
There was a hint of surprise in Mr. Liu's eyes, which was somewhat unexpected.
As a well-known collector, although his ability to appraise antique works of art is average, he can still hear what Ye Tian said!
After a short pause, Mr. Liu whispered back:
"I don't know the owner of this antique shop very well. I met through a friend's introduction at a small auction. I haven't dealt with it a few times. At most, I'm a nodding acquaintance!
According to what you mean, the things in this antique shop are quite ordinary, shouldn't be! Anyway, it is an old store that has been open for more than 20 years. "
"Perhaps they do have the treasures of the town shop, but they are more cautious and did not put it on the surface. Anyway, I did not see any impressive antique art.
If I were a buyer or collector, I would not sell in this antique shop. As a friend, I would advise you to be more careful and don’t look at it! "
Ye Tian said with a light smile, the meaning in the words couldn't be more obvious.
While saying this, he had secretly turned on the perspective, piercing the left and right sides and the front walls, quickly scanning the situation of the antique shop.
In addition to the front counter that is open to the outside world, this antique shop still has a lot of stock, but these things are basically fake, all of which are Mongolian stuff! No value!
After the perspective, Ye Tian immediately retracted his sight.
His perception of this antique shop suddenly became worse, and he even had questions about the few paintings to be appraised later.
Are they really Picasso’s pastoral paintings? I'm afraid it may not be true!
"Xiaoye, with your excellent appraisal ability, since you have said so, then I really have to be a little more careful! No one's money is brought by the wind, no one wants to take the money!
Fortunately, I haven't known the owner of this antique shop for a long time, and I haven't bought antique art in this shop, so I was lucky enough to never get a look here.
The French collector I will meet later was introduced to me by the owner of the antique shop. Judging from the current situation, I have to be careful later and don’t be fooled! "
Mr. Liu said solemnly, his face a little ugly.
This well-known collector who can become one of the top domestic collectors is obviously not for nothing, he is definitely personal! Otherwise, he would have been killed by the old foxes in the antique shop!
During small talk, time passed quickly.
About ten minutes later, the door of the reception room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man of about fifty years old and elegant manner came in with a big smile on his face!
Behind this, there are two foreigners, one is about forty years old, and the other is slightly older, who should be close to 60 in his 50s.
These two foreigners are also very good looking, they look a bit like artists!
Needless to say, the one in front must be the owner of the antique shop, and the two foreigners in the back are French collectors who came to Shanghai with five Picasso paintings in an attempt to make a fortune!
Ye Tian and Mr. Liu stood up from their seats, and smiled at the few people at the door nodding in greeting.
Those at the door showed another performance, their expressions were rather strange!
The moment they saw Ye Tian, the smiles on their faces solidified unanimously, and a panic flashed across everyone's eyes, even a little frightened!
Fortunately, their ability to control emotions is very good. They returned to normal in an instant, and smiles reappeared on their faces, as if they had never disappeared!
It's a pity that the two people standing opposite them are definitely not dumb fools or mallets! But two sharp-eyed experts in the industry.
The momentary changes in the expressions of these three people at the door were all seen by Ye Tian and Mr. Liu, very clear!
Got it! It might be a game right now! Be careful!
Ye Tian and Mr. Liu flashed the same thoughts, and quickly raised their alert.
Raymond and Walker, who were in the same reception room, also saw the performance of the three at the door for a moment, and they immediately became vigilant secretly, ready to respond at any time.
"I X (Fuck)! Why is Ye Tian (Steven) this cruel **** here? Today's matter is hanging up, don't steal the chicken or eat the rice! That would be too unlucky!"
The three people on the opposite side secretly complained frantically, all a little bit frustrated and a little scared.
Although the mood became very bad and a little uneasy, the steps of these three feet did not stop, and they quickly walked to Ye Tian and Mr. Liu.
"Good morning, Mr. Liu, Mr. Ye, welcome to my antique shop, it is brilliant! I didn't expect you to come in advance, and the hospitality is not good, please Haihan!"
The owner of the antique shop stepped forward and greeted him enthusiastically. His performance was impeccable and breathtaking.
"Hello, Boss Song, you're so polite! I've heard my antique shop tell me about your antique shop a long time ago. I've always wanted to come here to see it, so I can feast my eyes!
There was nothing wrong this morning, so we came here early, and the things in the store looked very good! It's heartbreaking!
I would like to introduce to you solemnly, this is Ye Tian, a famous figure in the antique industry, and I must know you too! Hope you don’t mind if I bring him here! "
Mr. Liu greeted the other party with a smile, said something innocent, and then introduced Ye Tian.
Hearing these words, the old face of Boss Song suddenly blushed, somewhat embarrassed!
Of course he knew exactly what the things in his antique shop were, and knew everything!
Those tatters that are worthless may be able to blind the famous collector in front of you, but if you want to fool this kid with the surname Ye, it is pure dreaming, there is no possibility!
This kid has sharp eyesight and is famous in the industry. He has never seen the fake things in his shop, how could he escape this kid's eyes!
Thinking of this, can Boss Song not be embarrassed? He even wanted to retreat.
But at this time, he is already riding a tiger and must continue to perform according to the original script, there is no way out!
"Of course I know Mr. Ye, who is a hot spotlight. A private auction created countless jaw-dropping records, which shocked the entire antique shop.
Welcome againMr. Ye, my name is Song Kai. I am the owner of this antique shop. I am very glad to meet you. I didn’t expect you to visit my shop. It is a great honor! "
Boss Song offered a bunch of beautiful words, introduced himself, and shook hands with Ye Tian, showing very enthusiasm.
Ye Tian's face was also full of smiles, and he was polite with the other party falsely.
"Happy New Year, Boss Song, I am also very happy to meet you. As Mr. Liu said, your antique shop is really good, with a great location and a lot of tourists! It's a feng shui place that attracts wealth!
I hope you don't mind my appearance. When I was in Beijing before, I heard Mr. Liu talk about a French collector who was going to transfer Picasso's paintings. I was itching for a while, so I came to Shanghai!
Picasso’s pastoral paintings must be top-notch artworks of great value. Thinking about it is exciting! If possible, I would also like to appreciate those masterpieces of art! "
"You and he are here! Can I say no?"
Boss Song complained secretly, very aggrieved!
