Chapter 14 Manhattan Hanging Sun (Recommend, Click, Collect)

"Hello, how much does this painting cost?"

"$500, no two dollars, do you want to buy it?"

"Wow! It's too expensive!"

"Hello, what is the price of this candlestick?"

"$650, $600 without this wooden box"

......

swept several stalls one after another, but Ye Tian found nothing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, he had realized that it was not easy to pick up treasures here!

There are a lot of good things in the Chelsea flea market, and Ye Tian has seen a lot of antiques in the first half of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

I even saw a sculpture from the 18th century, which exudes an orange glow and has a lot of halos on the outer layer, which is very valuable.

But there are more people here, but all the good antiques, the price is high, it is completely the market price, there is no profit at all, and there is no leakage to pick up!

Obviously, the antiques he can see on the surface can also be seen by others, and he knows the market very well.

Thinking of Jason's stall in their second-hand store, Ye Tian understood the reason.

The stalls set up in this flea market are basically second-hand stores and antique stores, and there are very few individuals, after all, this is Manhattan, and the management fee is much higher than that of Brooklyn!

For individual stall owners, the cost here is a bit high and not so easy to accept.

DUNBO is different, with relatively low fees and more individual stalls.

Most of these stall owners from second-hand stores and antique stores have a certain degree of appreciation, and they are considered professional or semi-professional, so they will naturally not let the treasure be lost in front of them and be taken advantage of by others!

And they and some professional treasure diggers are still combing the entire market, as long as they find profitable good things, they will immediately take action, how can they leave it to Ye Tianlai to pick up treasures?

IN COMPARISON, DUNBO DUMBO AT THE LOWER GRADE IS EASIER TO PICK UP TREASURES.

Despite this, Ye Tian was not completely disappointed.

After all, he has the ability that others don't have, as long as it's an antique, and in this market, it definitely can't escape his eyes.

Other professionals and semi-professionals, but it is impossible to know everything, and it is inevitable that they will be missed!

And these missing treasures are Ye Tian's real goals.

......

In the continuous sweeping of stalls and inquiries, half an hour has passed.

The treasure found a lot, but not a single one, and the treasure hunt had to continue.

At this time, Ye Tian had already swept the middle passage and turned to the other side, where there were more stalls.

Five or six stalls in a row, still not a penny was spent.

As he walked to the seventh booth and stood still, scanning the goods, his eyes flashed with surprise under his sunglasses.

"The hard work pays off! buddy's legs are thin, and it's finally time to harvest!"

There are six or seven antiques on the stall, with a time span of nearly one or two hundred years, radiating red or white light, which is extremely beautiful, and it is obvious that this is a very powerful second-hand store.

For the antiques that were placed in the stall owner's hand, Ye Tian didn't plan to inquire at all.

If you ask, you can't make any money!

At this time, his eyes are looking through his sunglasses, and he is staring at a modern photographic work.

The work is set in a minimalist frame, and the picture is all too familiar to every New Yorker, even every American.

"Manhattan Hanging Sun"

This is the subject of New York, which is very famous.

Due to Manhattan's checkerboard-like architectural layout, the sun sets on all of Manhattan's east-west streets on May 28 and July 12 for a spectacular 15-minute view.

On December 5th and January 8th, the landscape will be accompanied by sunrise.

During these days, tourists from all over the United States and the world flock to New York to enjoy the spectacular scenery.

It has become a tourist calling card in New York, appearing countless times in postcards, advertisements, photography, film, television, and other media.

And on the streets of New York, there are countless photographs of "Manhattan Hanging Sun", which can be seen everywhere, even to the point of rotten streets!

There is no signature on the work in front of me, and the photo is not bad, but it is obviously not from a famous artist, so it is not of much value.

Judging by the stall owner's behavior of throwing it on the stall casually and mixing it with the movie poster, this thing is not worth a lot of money in his eyes.

But in Ye Tian's opinion, this photographic work is very valuable!

Because he saw something completely different from others, and in the eyes of others, it was just an ordinary tourist souvenir.

In Ye Tian's eyes, this ordinary photographic work radiates red light all over the body! Judging from the depth of the red light, it comes from the late 19th century!

In addition to this, there are many layers of halos on the photo, which is of high artistic value and is not a worthless tourist souvenir.

But in the late 19th century, there was no such thing? Not even a color photograph!

What's more, the car taillights on the street in the photo, as well as the fashionable clothes of the people, and the familiar buildings on both sides of the street, all show that this is a modern photographic work!

So what's going on with this red light all over the body? Could it be that I am dazzled?

Although he didn't use the perspective ability, Ye Tian was already very sure at this time that this photograph had a hidden mystery!

Behind the photograph is 100% hidden an antique from the late 19th century, and judging by its size and thickness, it is likely to be a painting, and it is from a famous artist!

As for whose work it is, you will only know if you open the frame and let it see the light of day!

From the discovery of a photograph to the basic judgment, it is only a matter of moments.

At this moment, Ye Tian had already made up his mind to take it no matter what!

I'm going to get rich again!

After calming down his excitement a little, he immediately smiled and began to talk to the stall owner.

"Hello, can you take a look at this painting of "Hanging Sun in Manhattan"?"

The stall owner looked at the picture frame thrown on the stall and nodded with a chuckle.

"Yes, you can do it!"

"Okay"

Ye Tian responded, then reached out and picked up the frame, the realization was not in a hurry, and his expression was also very calm.

But in his eyes under the sunglasses, there was already a flash of ecstasy.

Ye Tian looked through the frame, the front was a layer of glass, and the back was a whole sealed wooden board, which perfectly covered the back of the photo.

The frame has not been touched by any hands and feet, it is intact, it is estimated that from the time it entered the second-hand store to the present time when I picked it up and checked it myself, it has not passed the hands of several people.

The weight of the frame is very light, which means that the material is average and has little value.

Because of this, the second-hand store did not have the idea of framing the picture, and the secrets inside have been preserved to this day.

"Perfect!"

Ye Tian was so excited that he almost jumped up and waved his fist in celebration.

In the next second, he suppressed his excitement and asked the stall owner in a calm tone:

"Hello, how much does this Manhattan Hanging Sun cost? I want to buy it."

The stall owner glanced at him with a smile and quoted a random price.

"It's only $30 and it's yours!"

"$20! It's all over the streets, it's not worth 30, I'm a New Yorker, I live in Brooklyn."

Ye Tian smiled and returned the price, and cut off $10 with one knife.

The stall owner had obviously earned the price, and nodded his head without any hesitation.

"OK, deal, $20, sold to you!"

"Okay, deal!"

Ye Tian smiled and shook hands with the other party, then took out $20 from his wallet and handed it over.

Baby! Get rich!

Ye Tian's heart was ecstatic, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

This made the stall owner wonder a little, as for being so happy? Isn't it just a broken photo that can be seen everywhere!

Then, Ye Tian turned his head to take the backpack and prepared to put the picture frame in it.

When he turned his head, he saw a familiar and annoying face.

Garcia also came to the Chelsea flea market, and was standing a short distance from the flank, with two or three people around him.

It's not that enemies don't get together!

Seeing Garcia appear here, Ye Tian felt a little surprised.

He didn't know that Garcia was a professional treasure digger, a regular visitor here, and would come almost every weekend to sell old goods and dig for treasure.

Ye Tian ignored them, reached out and put the photo frame into his backpack, said hello to the stall owner, and then prepared to leave.

At that moment, Garcia's sneering voice came.

"Chinese boy, aren't you very generous, how can you even bargain for $30 for something?"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and looked over, and said to Garcia with a sneer:

"It doesn't matter to you whether I'm generous or not!But I'm a little curious, why didn't you get involved just now? Aren't you used to being a-stirring stick? If you bid this time, I'll be happy to give you this frame."

Garcia's face changed, and he suppressed his anger and said disdainfully:

"I'm not interested in garbage! If I want to see 'Manhattan Hanging Sun', and in a few days I can stand on the street and see the real scene, and pay for such a thing?

Ye Tian didn't fight back, just showed a victor's smile, and then turned around and left.

"This is the Chinese Kaizi who paid $1,000 for cutlery?"

A black man next to Garcia asked curiously.

"That's right, it's him, this kid obviously has some money on hand!"

"Chinese have money! Luxury stores are all sweeping goods, and they can't wait to buy the whole world!"

Another buddy next to him said enviously.

"Why don't you design him? Raise the price for him, and earn some kickbacks from the stall owner by the way!"

The black buddy said eagerly, greed flashing in his eyes.

Garcia's eyes immediately lit up and he nodded excitedly.

"That's a good idea, let's help him raise the price, and also give me an outlet for evil!"

"What if this kid doesn't follow?

The other said, a little worried.

"Don't worry, as long as this kid has a crush on something, he will be very tough when bidding, and he won't give an inch, and the situation you said won't happen."

Garcia explained with a smug smile on his face.

At this moment, he seemed to have seen Ye Tian's unlucky appearance.

"Alright then, let's go along and have a look, maybe we can really make some extra money!"

The others were excited and had already begun to gear up.

And Ye Tian was already standing in front of another stall at this time, looking for treasures.
