Chapter 381: The Sweep Begins (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)

"Man, what's the price of this humidor?

Ye Tian pointed to a cigar box on the stall and asked, showing great interest.

He was going to test the stall owner's offer so that he could make an offer for the two target antiques.

It is a simple carved brimmed humidor of gloomy wood solid copper, which should be from England in terms of style, and the date is from the late 19th century, and it radiates a dazzling red glow in his eyes.

The humidor is in good condition, there is no damage, and the copper parts have a slight gilt loss, which is a trace of time caused by age, which does not damage the value of the humidor, but adds a little historical atmosphere.

Unfortunately, this is just an ordinary antique, not the work of a famous artist, and the artistic value and market value are relatively average, and the market price is just over $1,000.

The reason why Ye Tian gave this price, in addition to his understanding of the market, the main basis is, of course, the faint three-layer halo on the humidor.

"Steven, your eye is awesome, this is an antique cigar box from the UK for $200,000, very fair and great value for money!"

The stall owner first complimented him, and then quoted the price, which was extremely ruthless!

Hearing this price, Ye Tian was stunned for a moment.

Another guy who uses his buddy as a Kaizi!

Anyway, this is not the target antique, and he is too lazy to expose the stall owner, and he is not even in the mood to bargain, so let the stall owner laugh at himself!

"A $200,000 gloomy wood humidor! That must have been Churchill's favorite! Priceless! It's so expensive, but alas, I can't afford it!"

I'll look at something else, maybe there's a vanity mirror used by Queen Victoria! If there is, it must be a discovery that will shock the world!"

Ye Tian sighed with an exaggerated expression, and there was a hint of sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

His gaze moved directly from the humidor and looked at the other objects without a moment's hesitation!

"Poof!"

Betty covered her mouth and chuckled, she couldn't help it!

It's too much! It's too pompous!

This time it was the stall owner's turn to be dumbfounded, and immediately afterward, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Of course he understood what the humidor was and how ridiculous his offer was!

However, you ask for a price and pay back on the ground! You bastard didn't even return the price, and directly shifted the target!

What's more, give me a sneer, what does it mean?

"Man, what's the price of this cross?

Ye Tian pointed to a cross and asked, still very interested.

And his eyes, hidden under his sunglasses, were full of smiles.

This is an early twentieth century natural mother-of-pearl parquet oak cross, also from England, and is worth a modest $800!

But in the mouth of this stall owner, who knows what outrageous price will be offered!

"Steven, this is a natural mother-of-pearl parquet oak cross, from England, it's a very good antique, the price is $120,000, how about it, can you accept it?"

The stall owner put on a big smile again and quoted the price.

This time he was not so confident, and there was a bit of hesitation in his tone.

But he still had a hint of luck and wanted to pit Ye Tian.

This bastard in front of him is a billionaire, and his leg hair is thicker than his own waist! Don't you pit anyone? Since you have encountered it, you must not let it go, in case you succeed!

It's a pity that he met Ye Tian, a professional treasure hunter who is countless times smarter than him, how could he be willing to be a Kaizi!

The stall owner's dream of making a fortune was shattered in a blink of an eye!

"Man, have you brought the British Museum here? With all these goods in your stall, you could have set up a new British Museum!

Ye Tian pretended to be surprised and sighed, and made the stall owner laugh.

"Hahaha"

A burst of laughter rang out, instantly resounding through the empty courtyard market.

Betty, Mattis, and Walker, as well as a few stall owners around them, burst into laughter, as did the many reporters who had just arrived!

Even the police officers, who were in a very unhappy mood, let out a burst of laughter.

This guy is really bad! That sharp mouth can almost kill, no wonder there are enemies everywhere!

While laughing, everyone looked at the stall owner, their eyes full of sympathy!

What a wretched man! Too unlucky! A little too stupid, it must have been a brain short-circuit!

Who had heard that Steven, the bastard, had been tricked? It was a blessing that he didn't cheat others, and you actually wanted to trap this bastard! Isn't that self-inflicted? Who is the blame?

Look at the stall owner again, his face is already black and purple, not to mention how ugly it is! His teeth are clucking, his eyes are blood-red, and his anger is about to burn!

The stall owner wants to pounce out of the stall, shred the damn New York bastard across the street, and throw him to feed the dogs!

The laughter fell slightly, Ye Tian looked at the stall owner and said again:

"Man, I'm a professional treasure hunter, my self-confidence is not bad, and I still understand the basic market situation, and I definitely not want to meet Kaizi the most!

You'd better set a realistic price, so that we can continue to talk, otherwise there is no need to waste time, everyone has limited time!"

The stall owner smiled awkwardly, his expression becoming more and more ugly.

But business still has to be done, and in the face of realistic interests, face is not very important.

It's only two hours before Hallway 127 closes, and you can sell one piece or you'll have to take it home!

Thinking of this, the stall owner could only hold back his anger and offer the price again.

"OK! Steven, that cigar box is $1,500, this cross is $1,000, how about it, can you take it?"

From more than 100,000 or 200,000 dollars to 1,000 dollars, the cliff diving, the gap between the front and back is too big!

Many reporters and police officers looked at the stall owners in amazement, their eyes full of disbelief.

Several stall owners and professional treasure hunters didn't feel any surprises, including Ye Tian, this was too normal.

"It's not far from the actual value, but it's still on the expensive side! $300 for the humidor, $150 for the oak cross, that's my offer, can you accept it?"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and then returned a price, and the knife was very ruthless!

"Shhh

Everyone gasped.

Everyone was frightened by Ye Tian again, especially those stall owners and professional treasure hunters, who felt a burst of shock, it was really ruthless!

"Steven, this price is absolutely impossible! The minimum price of the cigar box is $800, the minimum price of the cross is $400, it can't be lower!"

The stall owner's eyes were red, and he forced his anger to quote again, and was forced to make some concessions.

"That's a pity, just the price I quoted just now, if you can't accept it, then forget it, I'll go to other stalls to have a look, maybe there will be new discoveries!"

Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders, looking quite helpless and regretful.

After saying that, he took Betty to the next stall, without hesitation, his steps were very firm, and there was no trace of nostalgia.

They had barely taken two steps before the stall owner's aching voice came from behind them.

"Ok! Deal, two antiques for a total of $450, sold to you!"

Although the price was low, the stall owner had to sell.

He didn't want to take it all home and fend off a Category 4 hurricane with him.

Who knows where these antiques will be after the hurricane? Or is it more practical to exchange them for dollars, so that they can buy more disaster prevention materials!

And this price is still a bit profitable, although it is very little, but it is better than nothing!

Hearing this voice, Ye Tian immediately laughed, very proud.

He then returned to the first booth with Betty.

The deal is completed quickly, and the money is cleared!

"Man, the trade was a pleasure, I love these two little antiques!"

Ye Tian shook hands with the stall owner and smiled very brightly.

"Steven, what a bastard, what the hell is robbing while the fire is hot! It's so ruthless! It's hateful, I know it's a robbery, and I have to nod my head and agree, it's so fucking unlucky!"

The stall owner gritted his back molars and said, gritting his teeth with hatred, but he was very helpless.

"Hahaha, man, look at the opening! the market is about to close, the hurricane is coming, I'm helping you lighten the load, you should think so.

When you think about it, you will feel relieved, and even realize that you should be thankful instead of complaining or cursing me!

Ye Tian said with a laugh, and then walked to the second stall with Betty.

"Thank you, die, you damn bastard!

The stall owner cursed in a low voice, and he was so angry that he trembled all over.

Soon, Ye Tian and the others had already walked through the three stalls.

The next two stalls were also antique stalls, and there were no major discoveries, and Ye Tian did not make another move.

He only stopped for a few seconds as he passed, roughly glanced at the goods on the stall to see if there was anything missing, and then looked through the whole situation, and he could grasp everything in an instant.

If there was a leak in the stall, he would point to an antique and ask for the price, and then walk away, barely delayed.

A few meters after leaving the third booth, Ye Tian began to give instructions through wireless headphones.

His location is already some distance from the entrance of the market, and Jason can enter the market to sweep the goods!

"Jason, Sophie, you're in the first group, you're in the market in two minutes, and you're targeting the first stall on the right-hand side, with two antiques.

One is a solid bronze carved pipe stand, an antique from the beginning of the last century, with two pipes hanging from it, which are very recognizable, and the highest price must not exceed $400.

The second antique, four German Mason porcelain dolls, in a box, antiques from the fifties of the last century, instantly recognizable, with the highest offer being $600.

During the transaction, you can bargain as boldly as you can, the stall owner is dumping the goods, and the price will be sold as long as it is almost the same, it depends on your bargaining level!"

As soon as the words fell, excited cheers immediately came from the earphones.

"Great! Steven, it's finally our turn to sell, but rest assured, we'll be able to get these two antiques at the lowest price!"

"I believe you can successfully get these two antiques and enjoy the treasure hunt!"

Ye Tian said with a low laugh, also very excited.

Immediately after that, he began to assign a second task.

"Anderson, Raymond, you're in the second group, and you're in the market three minutes later, targeting the third stall, with only one antique.

It was a pure bronze gilt sculpture of dogs and children playing together, from 19th-century France, and the highest price was $1,000.

As I said before, try to bargain, the lower the better, you're welcome, I believe you can find the fun of treasure hunting and enjoy it!"

There was cheering again in the headphones, very excited!

"That's cool! look at us, we're going to take this sculpture!"
