Chapter 1271： Deal reached

"Mr. Gent, let me talk about the origin of the Rococo style furniture and the oil painting. Since I want to buy them, I have to figure out their origins. I don't want to get in trouble!

Joseph, you are an EU lawyer, Anderson, and you are my personal lawyer. For the sake of insurance, the next dialogue and transaction process between me and Mr. Gent, please help to witness the "

Ye Tian said with a light smile, his expression was still very calm, without any ups and downs.

"No problem, Mr. Steven, I will provide a legally valid testimony to ensure that your dialogue and transactions are open and transparent!"

Joseph responded immediately, his tone quite excited.

Immediately afterwards, Anderson also responded, his eyes shining with the same excitement.

However, Ghent did not immediately give an answer. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Gatlinck and the other Belgian antique art appraisal expert, hoping to find something from the changes in their expressions!

It is a pity that the two well-known European antique art appraisal experts are equally confused and confused, and can't give Ghent any hint.

And those two are senior industry insiders, and they understand that Ye Tian and the antique shop owner are negotiating a deal, so it is not convenient for him to make any comments!

No matter how curious I am, I have to hold back at this time and can only wait for the transaction to be confirmed and completed before raising my own questions.

Gent withdrew his gaze in disappointment, looked at Ye Tian in front of him again, and began to introduce the origin of the related items.

"Steven, don't worry, the origins of these things are very clear, there is no problem, if we can reach a deal, I will provide the relevant original documents.

The rococo-style dressing table and the same style desk were collected by a family in the old city of Brussels. It was a set of furniture, produced in the same era, and the same nameplate.

Through the nameplate of the manufacturer, we can clearly see that it is a set of antique furniture produced at the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century. The manufacturer of that set of furniture is located in the Old Town of Brussels.

Of course, that furniture manufacturer has long ceased to exist, and the furniture manufacturer can still be found in the relevant literature. As for the original user of this furniture, it is temporarily unknown!

The oil painting with a cubist style was bought by me at a second-hand market in Brussels. There is no author’s signature on the painting. It is impossible to know which artist the painting was made by.

After receiving the painting, a few friends and I also did some research. Although the identity of the creator was not found, it is basically certain that the oil painting was created in the 1920s and 1930s.

I know so much about the antique furniture and the oil painting. If you want to know more, then buy them and take them back to New York for identification. I hope you can find out! "

After listening to his introduction, Ye Tian and Gatlink both secretly nodded their heads in agreement. The old liar in Ghent was fairly honest, and didn't play any tricks this time!

Why doesn't Ghent want to play some tricks, boasting these few things so much that they are rare in the world, so maybe they can sell a very good price!

But he knew exactly who he was facing!

Steven this **** is one of the world's top antique art appraisal experts, even the most powerful one. Who heard that he would be fooled and be calculated by others? He is the only one who counts others!

Gatlinck and the person next to him are the top antique art appraisal experts in Belgium and even Europe, and they know the city of Brussels very well!

Playing tricks in front of such three top appraisal experts is purely self-inflicted, and it is not embarrassing enough. Only idiots can do such things!

As soon as Ghent's voice fell, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded and said:

"Since the origins of these things are very clear and legal, and won't cause me any trouble, then we can move on to the next step.

Mr. Gent, it can be seen that you know these things very well. Now let me quote the prices you set for these things.

If the price is right, I am happy to put them in my bag. If the price is not agreed, then we can only give up. You keep these things and we turn around and leave! "

Ghent turned his head again and looked at the antique furniture set in the corner and the oil painting hanging on the wall, trying to find something and find out why Ye Tian was interested in them.

Unfortunately, he was still in vain and did not find any surprises. Those things in his eyes remained the same as before, without any change.

After hesitating and thinking for a while, Gent had the courage to offer a price he thought was very exaggerated, ready to test Ye Tian.

"Steven, that set of antique furniture in Rococo style, two pieces sold together, the price is 150,000 euros, the price of the slightly cubist painting is 80,000 euros!"

Before his words fell, Ye Tian already exclaimed in exaggeration.

"Oh! Mr. Gent, the knife in your hand is really sharp. With just a few things, you dare to make an offer of 230,000 euros. Why don't you grab it? Maybe you can become Robin Hood! "

"Hahaha"

There was a lot of laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed.

Gatlinck and the other Belgian antique art appraisal expert shook their heads with a chuckle, obviously disapproving of Ghent's offer, and even a bit of contempt in their eyes.

Looking at the Gent father and son, their faces were flushed instantly, their expressions were very embarrassed, and they were about to become angry.

Before they could respond, Ye Tian continued:

"Mr. Gent, let's put the price aside for the time being, let's discuss these few things, and see what their quality is and what level of antique art they belong to.

Let me talk about this set of antique furniture in Rococo style. The statement you just made is the same as my judgment. It is indeed a set of antique furniture with a history of more than 200 years.

However, on this set of antique furniture with walnut wood floors, apart from the manufacturer's nameplate, we did not see any royal logo or the family emblem of a famous nobleman.

Looking at the lines and related carvings throughout this set of furniture, the grace and exquisiteness are not enough, the softness of the curved surface is also lacking, and the surrounding flowers and grass patterns are not fine enough.

Due to its age, paint is peeling off in many places of this antique furniture, not to mention the decorative pieces inlaid with copper, which need to be cleaned up and it takes a lot of effort.

As for the gorgeous gilded reliefs that are essential for high-end Rococo antique furniture, I have not seen the slightest sign of existence on this set of antique furniture, not at all!

In summary, I can say with certainty that this is a set of mass-produced furniture, not a customized product of the Belgian royal family or a certain nobleman, and its value can be imagined.

Rococo-style antique furniture similar to this quality can be seen everywhere in the old city of Brussels, but it is definitely not a minority. There is no difficulty in finding a few complete sets of furniture! "

Hearing this, everyone on the scene couldn't help being a little silly, and each one was speechless.

Steven is worthy of being the top expert on antique art appraisal. He knows so much about antique furniture in Rococo style, like a few treasures! Well-deserved reputation!

At the same time, everyone was amazed by his extremely keen observation!

How long did this guy look at that set of antique furniture? It's estimated that it took less than half a minute. He actually saw so much content, and remembered one by one in his mind, it was incredible!

Are you still human eyes? Is it still human memory? Radar scanning is nothing more than that!

The complexions of Ghent and his sons became redder, the redness was almost bleeding, and their expressions became more embarrassing, feeling a little bit ashamed.

However, Ye Tian's voice did not stop, and continued to talk freely.

"After talking about the set of antique furniture in Rococo style, let's talk about the oil painting with a cubist style. Here I must admit that your judgment on this oil painting is basically very accurate.

This is an oil on canvas created in the 1920s and 1930s. Unfortunately, the creator did not leave a signature on it. As for the identity of the creator, we can only guess by our own judgment.

There is no doubt that this will inevitably increase a lot of uncertainty and greatly reduce the value of this painting. Coupled with the influence of the cubist style that was very popular at the time, such paintings are not uncommon.

Of course, the judgment of the value of a work of art is a matter for the benevolent to see the benevolent and the wise to see the wisdom. In my opinion, works of art with extraordinary value in your eyes may not be of much value at all and are worthless!

Let’s go back to the quotations for these things. Mr. Gent, I can’t agree with the quotations you gave. It is a bit outrageous. I am not a fat sheep who knows how to do it. I can slaughter them at will.

You can also listen to my quotation. If you can accept it, we can make a transaction. If you can’t accept it, you’ll break up. We’re all busy, so there’s no need to waste time.

My asking price for the rococo-style antique furniture was 14,000 euros; for the cubist style oil painting on canvas, my asking price was 6,000 euros, which adds up to 20,000 euros.

Originally, I wanted to offer 10,000 Euros, but considering that I just confuse your good deeds, how much I should express, so I only offered 20,000 Euros. I wonder if you can accept it? Mr. Gent"

After speaking, Ye Tian smiled and confidently looked at the old liar before him, waiting for him to make a decision.

At this time Ye Tian was very sure that these treasures must belong to him, and he never ran away!

Ghent, an old liar, will definitely accept this offer, because it is impossible for a second person to give such a price, except for some inexperienced club!

Everyone in the antique shop looked at Ghent, but Gatlinck and the others were a little surprised!

What surprised them was Ye Tian's generosity!

After thinking about it pretendingly for four or five seconds, Gent made a decision.

"Deal! Steven, twenty thousand euros, that set of antique furniture and that oil painting are sold to you, as long as the transfer is completed, those things will belong to you!"

With that, Gent stretched out his right hand to Ye Tian, ​​and a trace of triumph flashed across his eyes.

"The deal, Mr. Gent, you will receive twenty thousand euros soon! Today is a wonderful day!"

Ye Tian stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party, and officially concluded this antique art transaction.
