Petro did not respond immediately, but took a step forward and looked at the rusty crusader knight sword in Ye Tian's hand again, eyes full of doubt.
What puzzled him was how valuable this Crusader Knight Sword could actually impress the top antique art appraisal expert in front of him.
However, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't understand the value of this crusader knight sword. It was still the same as when he saw it countless times before, without any change.
After a closer inspection, Petro did not find anything new.
He could only raise his head and asked nervously:
"Steven, can you tell me what exactly do you see in this crusader knight sword? Is it possible that you already know the origin of this crusader knight sword and its value?"
Ye Tian looked at the antique shop owner, then smiled and said:
"No need to deny, Petro, with this crusader knight sword, I did see something, but I'm not sure. I need to do more research to know whether my judgment is accurate.
You are an antique dealer and understand the rules of this industry better than anyone else. Since I want to buy this crusader knight sword, I must not reveal my cards before the deal is concluded.
Of course, you can also refuse to sell this knight sword, and find experts and scholars to appraise it afterwards. Whether the appraisal result is good or bad is not known, but I will not tell my own appraisal conclusion.
If you refuse to sell this knight sword, it is very regrettable. We can only leave your antique shop and wish you good luck. If you intend to sell this knight sword, please give your offer."
Hearing these words, Petro was dumbfounded, and he was stunned.
For a while, he didn't know how to choose, whether to sell or keep the Crusader Knight Sword.
It has been three years since this crusader knight sword fell into his hands. Although some people have asked about the price and expressed their willingness to buy it, they have never been sold due to various issues such as the appearance and price.
Over time, this crusader knight sword has become a piece of his heart, and the antique shop signs mentioned before are just a joke.
Now Ye Tian wants to buy this knight sword, and he has shown great sincerity. For Petro, this is a good opportunity. Not only can he sell this knight sword, he may make a fortune!
However, he was a little worried.
If this crusader knight sword is a top-notch antique cultural relic of invaluable value, would it not be a big loss to sell it like this!
As a person in the industry and even half an expert in antique art appraisal, Petro, who does not know what Ye Tian has done, does not want to be the protagonist of another tragedy!
The scene fell silent, and Petro fell into contemplation, apparently engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
Ye Tian didn't rush, he admired the Crusader knight sword in his hand again, and then put it back on the solid wood display stand in the window.
After putting down the knight sword, he nodded gently at the crowd of onlookers outside the window, and said hello.
At this time, the street outside this antique shop was already full of people, many of them were passing pedestrians and tourists, there were also many antique dealers who heard the wind, and people of all colors.
These people stayed outside the cordon pulled by the Portuguese police, one by one, with their necks stretched, tiptoes, looking at Ye Tian in the antique shop through the glass window, and looking at the crusader knight sword!
While watching the excitement, people are still talking in full swing.
"It seems that Steven that guy is going to buy that rusty knight sword. Is that crusader knight sword a valuable and top antique piece of art? That's why Steven that guy is going to get it."
"That crusader knight sword has been in Petro's antique shop for two or three years. Many people have seen it. Petro has also found someone to appraise it. The value is not too high!
But why did the guy Steven fancy that knight sword? Is it possible that everyone before, including experts and scholars in Lisbon, is unlikely? "
Just when people were talking about it, after a fierce ideological struggle, Petro finally made a decision.
He glanced at the crusader knight sword again, then gritted his molars and said:
"Steven, I sold this Crusader Knight Sword at a price of 50,000 Euros. If you can accept this offer, we will close the deal. After the transaction is completed, I hope you can publish your own appraisal conclusions to solve my doubts! "
After speaking, Petro stared at Ye Tian closely to see what kind of response he would give. His expression was both worried and full of expectation.
Ye Tian shook his head slightly, and said with a smile:
"Petro, although I want to accept this crusader knight sword, your offer is a bit too high. Such a medieval knight sword of unknown origin and generally preserved is not worth 50,000 euros.
If the red sapphires inlaid on this knight sword are still there, even if the price is higher, I can accept it, but it is a pity that all the red sapphires were removed as early as World War II.
To be honest, buying this knight sword is just a possibility to verify the accuracy of my judgment, and the possibility of disappointment is greater. Therefore, I can only bid 35,000 euros at most! "
The ball is kicked back!
Petro fell into contemplation again, and began to secretly measure the price given by Ye Tian, hesitating to accept the price.
In fact, the price he originally made for this knight sword was far less than 35,000 euros, but who thinks the money is hot! Who doesn't want to earn more!
What's more, Ye Tian is a super rich man. He is famous for his generosity. Whenever there is a chance, who doesn't want to make a fortune in his hands, Petro is no exception!
After a moment of silence, Petro failed to withstand the temptation and accepted Ye Tian's offer.
For him, selling this rusty crusader knight sword for 35,000 euros is a big profit, and it is hard not to be moved by it.
"Okay, Steven, the deal! Only 35,000 euros, this medieval crusader knight sword belongs to you"
As he said, Petro extended his right hand, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Deal, Petro, I'm glad to trade with you"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said, and shook hands with Petro, and concluded the antique deal.
With their shaking hands, the streets outside immediately boiled.
"I'll go! That guy Steven actually took the rusty Crusader Knight Sword. I don't know what price that Knight Sword was sold for? The price is definitely not low!"
"Compared to the transaction price of the Crusader Knight Sword, I would like to hear Steven's appraisal conclusion. Perhaps it is really a top-notch antique artifact of invaluable value, but everyone else has taken it off!"
After the deal is concluded, the next thing is very simple.
In just a few moments, Ye Tian and Petro had completed all the procedures for the transaction, and both money and money were lost.
The medieval crusader knight sword changed its owner again, and finally fell into Ye Tian's hands. Petro received 35,000 euros in cash, which looked very attractive.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian asked Petro to issue a certificate in order to pass the Portuguese customs with this crusader knight sword in the future.
After issuing the certificate, Petro once again looked at the knight sword held in Ye Tian's hand, and then eagerly said:
"Steven, this medieval crusader knight sword is now yours. According to the previous promise, can you talk about your appraisal conclusion?"
Following his remarks everyone in this antique shop looked at Ye Tian and the rusty knight sword in his hand. Everyone looked forward to it.
Ye Tian looked at Petro, then glanced at the crowd and the crowd of onlookers on the street outside, then smiled and said:
"Of course, Petro. I will tell you about the conclusion of my appraisal, but whether this conclusion is accurate or not requires more research. You don't have to listen to it.
First of all, it is clear that this medieval crusader knight sword is not the sabre of the Templar knights. There is no doubt that since it is not the sabre of the Templar knights, who is it?
Judging from the manufacturing process of this knight sword and the inlaid red sapphires, this sword must belong to a nobleman. I wonder if you have heard of Henry of Burgundy? ..."
At this point, Petro seemed to have been shot suddenly, his body shook abruptly, and then he froze in place, with an expression of horror, his face pale!
Obviously, he knew exactly who ‘Henry of Burgundy’ was!
