Chapter 9 Treasure Hunt Information (Recommend, Click, Collect)
Coming out of the metropolis, Ye Tian didn't go home immediately, he walked into the Natural History Museum not far away, and continued his museum journey to make up for his antique knowledge. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
News of the Met's shocking changes has reached here, and the atmosphere in the museum is a little tense.
All security personnel are on the lookout for visitors, just in case something unexpected happens.
Ye Tian didn't dare to see through anything anymore, lest there be an emergency, but honestly observed and studied.
By the time he left the museum and returned home after dinner, it was already nine o'clock in the evening and almost ten o'clock in the evening.
Although he had been shopping for almost a whole day, he did not feel a trace of fatigue and was still very excited.
After resting at home for more than ten minutes, he came to Jason's door with the beer he bought when he went upstairs.
He wasn't an alcoholic, nor was he Jason's friend who talked about everything, the two of them could only be considered good neighbors, and they just greeted each other and said hello when they met.
The reason why he came up to Jason was for a purpose.
Jason works in a second-hand store in Manhattan and has access to a lot of thrift and warehouse auction information.
Ye Tian wanted to obtain this information through him, so as to find the cheapest antiques to use to study and strengthen his abilities, and make some more money along the way.
Well, making money is the more important reason!
With such an excellent ability, if you don't use it to make money and change your life, God will probably despise it!
Seeing Ye Tian coming with beer, Jason was a little surprised, but who would refuse such a good thing?
Jason shared a room with someone else, sharing a living room.
As soon as he walked into the room, Ye Tian smelled a familiar smell, and the picture in his eyes was also very familiar.
It's almost exactly the same as the situation in my house before yesterday, it's a mess, and it smells bad!
When he was in this kind of environment, Ye Tian didn't feel anything, and he could see it, but now when he saw this situation again, he was a little resistant, and he frowned unconsciously.
Probably seeing the change in his expression, Jason said with an awkward smile.
"Steven, don't mind, the room is a bit messy, but there is still a place to sit and have a beer"
With that, he picked up the dirty clothes from the sofa and threw them on the bed, making room for it.
"It's okay! I used to be just as messy there, I'm used to it."
Ye Tian sat on the sofa with a smile and reached out to hand Jason a bottle of beer.
After chatting for a few words, Jason asked Ye Tian why he came up, and he understood that Ye Tian must have nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace.
"Steven, what are you looking for me? I was flattered to send Budweiser late at night!"
Ye Tian stretched out the wine bottle and touched him, took a sip, and then said his purpose.
"You also know yesterday, I made some money through the warehouse auction, but I don't have a job at the moment, and I don't have a source of income, so I can only sit and eat nothing."
Jason nodded and didn't say anything, he knew a little about Ye Tian's situation and knew that it was completely true.
At most, he has a job, he can't starve to death, and the money he earns will never be enough to spend, otherwise he won't go to the warehouse to auction, don't you want to make some extra money!
Ye Tian continued.
"Instead of sitting around and running into a job search, I might as well find something to do, so I wanted to continue to participate in warehouse auctions, which could be a life-changing way.
I am looking for you because of this, don't you work in a second-hand store, and you have more contact with warehousing and auction and all kinds of second-hand information, so you can be regarded as a professional in this field.
If I can, I'd like to get some information about the warehouse auction, of course, it's not for free, I'll pay some, provided it's useful and I can profit from it"
After finishing speaking, Ye Tian looked at Jason and waited for him to respond.
Jason pondered for a moment, then said solemnly:
"Steven, I see what you mean, I do have access to auction information from all the warehouse companies in New York, and it's okay with thrift, and it's also well-informed.
But I want to explain that this line is not simple, there is a certain degree of professionalism, and those who really survive by making profits from warehouse auctions are those professional treasure diggers, and others can only hit big luck.
Not only do you have to have all kinds of auction information, but you also need to understand the knowledge of old goods in order to accurately evaluate them, and you must also have channels to turn the things you find into money, otherwise no matter how good the treasure is, it will be garbage!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, what Jason said was very correct, his limited experience in several warehouse auctions was enough to prove these words.
However, this is very different now!
All the storehouses are open in front of him, and there are no secrets to speak of!
Seeing his expression, Jason immediately understood that Ye Tian's heart was very firm when he entered this industry, but he still had to say what he had to say.
"Yesterday you were very lucky to pick up a treasure, but this kind of thing can't happen often, and it's the norm to be disappointed, so do you still want to enter this business?"
Ye Tian smiled.
Treasure hunting can't happen often in others, but you can dig up treasures from every warehouse you shoot!
"I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty confident I'll be able to find a treasure from the warehouse."
What else can Jason say? What's more, the relationship between the two is not that good, and they need to think about each other's future.
After a pause, he immediately smiled and said:
"Alright then! I wish you to continue digging treasures from the warehouse and become the most famous treasure digger in New York!"
"Thank you!
Ye Tian nodded confidently.
"Let me tell you a piece of information, it has nothing to do with the warehouse auction, it is thrift information, tomorrow and Saturday, it is the Brooklyn flea market open day.
There are two, one at Winter-Market-at-Skylight-One-Hanson, and the other at DUMBO Dumbo, just under the Brooklyn Bridge, not far from here."
"I know and have been to the DUMBO Dumbo Flea Market, and it seems that most of them sell old clothes and furniture, right?"
"Then you must not have looked closely, both flea markets have a lot of good goods, and even some precious antiques, it depends on your eyesight to find them!
There are people who set up stalls in the flea market, there are also second-hand stores, and professional treasure diggers, and our second-hand stores will set up stalls at Winter-Market tomorrow, you can go and see them.
It is recommended that you first understand some basic information and feel the market price of various used goods, so that it is convenient for you to evaluate in the warehouse auction in the future, and it is also a good sales channel."
"Okay, I'll take a look tomorrow, maybe I'll get something out."
"Good luck! If you come to the Winter-Market, I'll treat you to a hot dog, it's not only a flea market, it's also a food market, and there's a great hot dog stand."
"Thank you, I'll go taste it! or I'll treat you to thank you for the information."
Jason touched his pocket, and he didn't insist anymore.
After chatting for a while, the two of them drank three or four bottles of beer, and they were quite happy.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Tian got up and prepared to leave.
When he stood up, he caught a glimpse of a book thrown on Jason's bed, very thick, beautifully bound, and slightly old.
Seeing the title of the book clearly, Ye Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately pointed to the book and said:
"Jason, can you lend me this antique catalogue? I urgently need to add to this knowledge, if you can sell it to me, it would be great, I will give you a satisfactory price"
Jason turned his head to look at the old book on the bed, and a twinkle of joy flashed in his eyes.
This is a book given to me by a second-hand store, if you can exchange some money, then why not?
It's worth it even if you change the pizza! I also have this book in the store now, so I can read it whenever I want.
Thinking of this, he immediately walked to the side of the bed, picked up the book and handed it to Ye Tian.
"Yes, I'll sell you this book, and you can get to know most of the antiques on the market and get an idea of their price.
Not only do I have an antique catalogue, but I also have a book of old goods, I think you also need it, I can sell it to you together, as for the price, just look at it, as much as you want!"
After saying that, he walked over to the table next to him and brought over a thick book.
"Thank you, I believe these two books can increase my knowledge a lot, how about two books for a total of 100 dollars? If it is appropriate, this will give you cash"
Ye Tian took the book and thanked him, and immediately offered the price.
The price is very high, far more than the two books are worth now.
This was deliberate, firstly, because he really needed these two books, and secondly, he planned to use it to get closer to Jason, so that he could get more information from him in the future.
"yes! That's great! This guy is so generous, I thought it would be worth twenty at most, but I didn't expect it to sell for a hundred dollars!"
Jason almost jumped up and cheered in excitement, so what are you waiting for? wouldn't it be stupid not to agree!
"Okay, Steven, they're yours"
"Thank you, Jason, it's a Franklin"
Ye Tian smiled and took out his wallet, took out a hundred-dollar bill, and handed it to Jason.
Excitedly took the money and put it away, Jason smiled and reminded Ye Tian a few more words.
"The antiques and thrift catalogues in the two books are fine, but the estimates may not be accurate, so it's best to check the real-time prices on the Internet, which can be found on the auction house website or eBay."
"Got it, that's all for today, I should go back and rest, see you tomorrow!"
Ye Tian nodded, and then walked towards the door with two books in his arms.
"Steven, thank you for your beer, and green Franklin, good night!"
Jason enthusiastically sent Ye Tian out of the door.
......
After going home and washing, Ye Tian leaned on the head of the bed and began to read these two books to increase relevant knowledge.
Time passed quickly, and it was half past eleven in the blink of an eye.
He felt a little sleepy, so he tossed his book aside and prepared to rest.
At the last moment before going to bed, he looked intently at the wall again, intending to test his clairvoyance to see if it had grown.
It's still an earthy yellow, and you still can't get through the walls, but it seems to be a little bit more than yesterday.
"Ah......h
When he was concentrating, the deafening roar next door suddenly came, startling Ye Tian.
"Yin worm!"
Ye Tian scolded with a smile, and then buckled up the earmuffs and fell asleep.
Tomorrow is a great day for a treasure hunt!
