Chapter 1696 Ransacking the Milan Canal Antique Market
After leaving the seventh booth and walking a few meters forward, Betty finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and couldn't wait to ask in a low voice:
"My dear, why don't you buy that Kangxi colorful mallet vase, that vase looks beautiful, is it a fake?"
Ye Tian turned his head to look at his wife, then smiled and whispered:
"That's right, my dear, it's indeed a high-imitation fake, it should come from China's porcelain capital, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, the level of imitation is very good, almost chaotic.
But unfortunately, I have just seen the prototype of the multicolored vase, and I have personally admired it, which is a fine porcelain in the collection of the National Museum of China.
There is an old saying that if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods, and if you have appreciated the genuine product of the National Museum, and then look at the fake, you can immediately see the difference between the two.
In the European and American markets, there are many such high-imitation porcelain, mainly aimed at tourists from China, who think that they have encountered fine porcelain that has been lost overseas."
"I see, no wonder you don't buy that Kangxi multicolored mallet bottle, what about that set of Royal Copenhagen porcelain Danish Flower coffee pots?
"The Danish Flower coffee pot is a genuine antique porcelain and was the first Danish Flower porcelain produced by the Royal Copenhagen Ceramics Factory in 1790.
The first lace arabesque porcelain produced at that time, also known as the Danish Flower, was the first set of formal banquet tableware in Royal Copenhagen and was reserved for the Danish royal family.
These hand-painted Danish Flower porcelains are more than 200 years old, and they are rarely seen on the antique art market.
Each of these hand-painted Danish flowers is worth a lot of money, and in the current antique market, this set of Danish Flower coffee pots is worth at least three million dollars!"
"Wow! A set of coffee pots is worth three million dollars, that's amazing!"
Betty exclaimed in a low voice, her eyes full of excitement.
As they spoke, they had already come to the next stall, and then stopped the conversation and looked at the goods placed in this stall.
The stall was a mix of goods, including a dozen antique cameras, antique clocks and pocket watches of various styles, typewriters from decades ago, and even a few old locks.
Of course, there are also a lot of old imitations mixed in, depending on the buyer's eyesight.
In Ye Tian's eyes, although there were a lot of antiques in this stall, the value of these antiques was average, and he couldn't be impressed at all.
He took a quick glance at the stall's goods, and then led Betty forward, to another stall a few meters in front of him.
Meanwhile, not far behind them, Bowie had come across the canal to this half of the antique market and began to scan the goods.
......
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was half past eleven in the morning, and it was close to noon.
At this time, Ye Tian and them, almost everyone was carrying things in their hands, all of which were valuable antique works of art, which were Ye Tian's gains.
In Anderson's hand, he even pulled a huge half-used suitcase, which was filled with all kinds of valuable antique artworks, which were also Ye Tian's trophies.
In a nearby parking lot, one of the Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs was loaded with antique artwork and guarded by several armed security guards with loaded guns.
As for Bowie, who was following Ye Tian and them, the harvest was even more amazing, in just a few hours, that kid had already driven back and forth to the hotel a few times.
The reason why he returned to the hotel was to go back to store the antique art that had swept in, otherwise he would have been crushed by the staggering amount of harvest.
Seeing what Ye Tian was carrying in their hands, the people in the Canal Antique Market still didn't understand that these American bastards were frantically ransacking this famous antique market!
Although this crazy scene is the first time we have seen it, we have heard it countless times, and the same thing has happened in New York, in Paris, in London, in Nice, and in Florence.
It's a pity that although everyone knew that Ye Tian was frantically sweeping the canal antique market, they still couldn't understand how much the things they bought and carried in their hands were worth.
They couldn't think of any effective way to stop Ye Tian, so they could only watch him wreak havoc on this antique market, but they were helpless.
There are many antique dealers and stall owners who try to protect themselves by asking for sky-high prices to avoid being looted by Ye Tian, and become another unlucky person who is ridiculed by their peers.
However, Ye Tian always has a way to achieve his goal and take down the antique artwork he fancies.
Those antique dealers and stall owners can't just ask for a sky-high price for everything, and if they dare to do that, they don't want to do business here.
You know, the Milan Canal Antique Market only opens once a month, and no one wants to miss this opportunity, and if you miss it, you can only wait until the end of the next month!
For many antique dealers in this market, it is pointing to making money today!
If you don't do business today, then I'm afraid you'll have to tighten your belt for the next month!
Because of this, many people, even if they are frightened, have to grit their back molars and persevere, while secretly praying for God's blessing to save themselves from disaster!
Of course, there are also some such antique dealers and stall owners at the Canal Antique Market.
In order to avoid being looted, they simply did not do Ye Tian's business.
When Ye Tian came to their antique shop or stall, they would immediately declare that they would not accept Ye Tian and would not do his business!
But how did these guys know that there was a Bowie not far behind, who was secretly and frantically sweeping the treasure of the antique bazaar.
For these guys who turned themselves away, Ye Tian was even more ruthless, leaving no mercy at all.
When he encountered such antique shops and stalls, he would secretly tell Bowie to pick up all the leaks that could be picked up in these antique shops and stalls, and not a single hair would be left.
While talking, Ye Tian pushed the door and walked into a small antique shop on the side of the street, and began to appreciate the various goods displayed in the store.
Seeing Ye Tian and them walk into the store, the shopkeeper, who was originally receiving two tourists, suddenly changed his face, became quite ugly, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.
For a moment, he really wanted to directly state that he would not do Ye Tian's business, but he finally held back and did not say this.
The shopkeeper knew in his heart that he was doing business openly, and if he turned the other party away because he was afraid of being picked up by customers with a higher level, then don't mix in this business in the future!
In Chinese terms, this is called losing the person but not losing the battle, and the necessary scenes still have to be maintained.
Although the scale of this antique shop is small, it is quite a complete collection of things, from antique art from the East to paintings and sculptures from the West.
In addition, there are some antique artworks from Arabia and North Africa, which are well worth a visit.
After entering the door, Ye Tian first quickly glanced at the situation in the antique shop, and then greeted the antique shop owner with a smile.
"Good morning, man, I'm Steven, it's nice to meet you, your antique shop looks good, and there's a lot of goods on display!"
"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I'm Edmundo, the owner of this antique shop, and I'm glad to meet you, I've admired the name for a long time, and welcome to my antique shop"
The antique shopkeeper squeezed out a smile, greeted Ye Tian, and stretched out his right hand to him.
