Chapter 344 Not a Single Hair Left (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation, Asking for a Reward)
"Steven, let's appraise this jewelry box, I like it very much, I want to buy it, and the stall owner agrees to let you help identify and appraise it!"
A beautiful reporter came over with a beautiful jewelry box and asked for help in identification.
Ye Tian did not immediately agree or refuse, but looked at the stall owner not far away.
The stall owner was looking at this with a wry smile on his face, and although he looked a little reluctant, he nodded in agreement!
With the explicit permission of the stall owner, Ye Tian took over the jewelry box and began to identify and appraise it.
The moment he saw this jewelry box, he had already come to the conclusion that the white light emitted by the jewelry box and the layers of charming halo were enough to explain everything!
But he still pretended to appreciate it for about two minutes before he began to explain his conclusions.
"Beauty, you have a good eye, this is indeed a pretty good antique, it has a certain artistic value and collection value, if the price is right, it is a good choice to accept it.
This is a Bauhaus-style jewelry box from pre-1933 Germany, as you can tell from the name of the workshop at the bottom of the box, which was banned after the Nazi rule in Germany.
The only thing that's a bit of a pity is that this is a mass-produced craft, not a limited edition handmade product, and there are quite a few of them in existence, and although it is beautifully made, the price is not high.
According to my understanding of similar antiques, the price of this jewelry box should be between three and four thousand dollars, and if the stall owner offers a price in this range, then it can be sold, and it is worth collecting!"
"Great! Thank you, Steven, I'm going to negotiate with the stall owner!"
The beautiful reporter thanked her, and then ran over to the stall owner excitedly.
When the beautiful woman went over to quote the price, the stall owner immediately showed a bitter smile on his face.
And when he looked at Ye Tian again, his eyes were full of jealousy and horror, and the rest of the stall owners were the same, their faces were not very good-looking.
Steven's this guy is so ruthless! The valuation given is extremely accurate, the profit margin is pressed to the limit, and this guy is reasonable, and he can't find an excuse to refute it.
When you encounter such a ruthless character, you can make fart money, and you are lucky not to lose money!
Thinking of this, several stall owners were immediately annoyed and just wanted to scold their mothers!
Is this bastard going to take the reporters and the police and sweep away all the treasures here and make everyone work for nothing?
Fortunately, their worries did not last long, and after the beautiful reporter left, Ye Tian immediately said loudly to the many reporters and several policemen around him:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to make it clear that I can help you identify and value antiques and works of art, but only one per person, no more!
If there are too many identifications, I am worried that these guys who set up stalls will attack them and join forces to drive me out of this flea market, so please understand, and then ask me for identification after you have chosen!"
"Hahaha"
There was a loud burst of laughter, and everyone laughed.
After the laughter, many reporters and police officers nodded their heads in understanding, and the stall owners also want to make money!
The stall owners breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot, otherwise they would have been ready to close their stalls and leave!
Immediately afterwards, a police officer asked for help in the identification.
After obtaining the stall owner's consent, Ye Tian immediately began to help the policeman identify an antique piece of furniture.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others had already walked through seven or eight stalls, and they had been in the market for half an hour!
These stalls are basically antique stalls, and the antique artworks of different values in each year are of relatively average value, and there are no major discoveries that make Ye Tian's heart flutter.
So he never made a move, only occasionally picked two antiques and asked for the price, and kept groping for the stall owners' prices to make sure that he knew what to do.
During this time, he discovered several antiques that had been overlooked or seriously undervalued by the stall owners.
Among them, two antiques worth $30,000 or 40,000 were put in the most inconspicuous position by the stall owners and sold for tens or hundreds of dollars.
When encountering this kind of good thing, how could Ye Tian let it go, although he couldn't make a move, but there was Bowie behind!
After passing through a few stalls and finding out the stall owner's offer, he immediately sent a message to Bowie, asking him to come here to sweep the goods!
Bowie was in Jamestown, not far from the flea market, and in only five or six minutes he drove to the market and walked in through the entrance.
He is still dressed as a cowboy, and he has a beard, and he looks even wilder!
Looking at his outfit, who would have thought that this was once the financial elite of Wall Street! Who would have thought that this is one of the two craziest guys in the 127 corridor at the moment!
When Bowie walked into the market, Ye Tian had just finished the furniture appraisal, and when he felt the mobile phone in his pocket start to vibrate, he immediately turned his head to look at the entrance of the market.
This is the agreed signal, heralding the beginning of a sweep!
Seeing the figure at the entrance of the market, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded, his movements were very natural, and no one noticed anything abnormal.
Bowie nodded in agreement, and then walked to the first target booth.
"Why did this Texas cowboy get here? I thought he was already ahead of the curve!"
Jason also spotted Bowie and said in a little surprise.
He was still in the dark, and he had no idea that Bowie would always be following behind him, frantically sweeping Hallway 127, and it would never be possible to get ahead of him.
"He's Bowie? Sure enough, a Texas cowboy, a little bit wild!"
Betty interjected, a smile in her eyes.
"That's right, this is the Texas cowboy I mentioned, Bowie, a newcomer to the New York warehouse auction scene, a very interesting guy!"
Ye Tian explained with a smile, and then walked to the next stall with Betty.
"This is a bastard, the auction style is as rough as the Texas cowboys!
Jason cursed indignantly, and followed.
"Hahaha"
Everyone laughed.
Is there anyone more unreasonable than Steven? I'm afraid it's hard to find such a guy!
Compared with others, Betty laughed irrepressibly, covering her mouth and laughing!
These two guys from Wall Street are good friends from the same company, and their auction styles are so similar, and they are both so cunning!
The stall owners of Jamestown Flea Market are going to be in bad luck! All the hidden and unknown treasures here will be swept away by these two crazy guys!
After today, there will be no more leaks to pick up here, until the stall owners put on new goods!
Everything was as Betty expected, and the sweep began immediately!
In the next time, Ye Tian took everyone to sweep the stall in front and found the baby, while Bowie followed behind, according to the mobile phone information he constantly received, he kept paying for the goods.
Everywhere the two passed, all the leaks were picked up, and not even a single hair was left!
After passing through more than a dozen stalls, Ye Tian still didn't make a move, acting like a guy who came to the market to hang out, rather than a professional treasure hunter, very relaxed and leisurely!
While hanging out, he would also point out to reporters and police officers from time to time, asking them to collect a few antiques and make a small profit!
As before, these are antiques that are not of high value, and the stall owners know what they want.
The slight difference is that when Ye Tian gives an appraisal now, he will leave a little more profit margin for the stall owner, so as not to annoy people!
After discovering this, the stall owners immediately gave him a secret thumbs up, and their good impression of him also increased!
It was a joy for all, and many journalists and police officers were very happy to have bought antiques and works of art at very reasonable prices.
Although the stall owners in the market did not make huge profits, they sold a lot more antiques, and they also made a lot of money, and they were even more happy!
It didn't take long for Ye Tian and them to become the most popular people in the market, including those reporters and policemen.
Wherever they go, they will attract everyone's attention and become the center of attention.
But no one could have imagined that the real harvester today was the Texas cowboy not far behind everyone.
In less than an hour, Bowie has already collected more than a dozen antiques, and each antique can make a lot of money, which is the kind of windfall profits that are hundreds or thousands of times!
In this time, he has returned to the parking lot three times, to store the harvest, and then returned to continue the sweep!
Bowie was noticed in the market, but no one knew the Texas cowboy at all.
His actions did not arouse any suspicion, and people thought that he was just a fool with a lot of money!
Bowie doesn't care what others think at all, this kind of sweep is a hammer deal, and after collecting antiques, he will withdraw, so he cares about other people's opinions, who he loves!
More than an hour passed quickly, and Ye Tian still didn't find a treasure worthy of taking action in person, but he was just guiding others to hunt for treasures, and he was happy to do it.
Numerous journalists, as well as several police officers and the F.B.I., almost each had an antique in their hands at this time.
Although the value of these antiques is not high, everyone has a harvest, everyone is smiling, very happy!
While speaking, Ye Tian and the others walked to the last row of the market.
There are only four stalls here, and there are not many things, so you can sweep them all at a glance.
Turning around and standing still, just by glancing, a trace of excitement flashed in Ye Tian's eyes.
It is worthy of the origin of Corridor 127, and it really didn't disappoint me!
