Good morning, Mr. Steven, welcome to Portebellw Street, welcome to my shop, I'm Brown and it's a pleasure to meet you."

The shopkeeper greeted him politely with a little surprise in his eyes.

"Good morning, Mr. Brown, I'm Steven, I'm also glad to meet you, this shop looks very nice and has a bit of atmosphere, so I just came in to have a look, I hope you don't mind"

Ye Tian said with a smile, and shook hands with the other party to say hello.

"Of course I don't mind, I'm doing business with the door open and welcoming every customer who visits, but my store only sells modern and modern books, and there are no valuable antique artworks, which may disappoint you!"

Brown nodded and said, with a faint look of happiness in his eyes.

He opened a shop in the Portebellu Antique Market, and he must have known many antique dealers, and even had good friendships, and he was already familiar with Ye Tian's name and eyesight, as well as his ruthless methods.

Fortunately, he is only in business, and he doesn't have to worry about being picked up by Ye Tian and looted wildly, so he feels a little lucky, he doesn't have to regret jumping the Thames after this guy in front of him leaves!

As for the rest of the Portebelu antique market, he couldn't do anything, and could only secretly pray for those guys, hoping that they would have good luck and escape today's fate!

Ye Tian shook his head lightly and said jokingly:

"Not necessarily, Mr. Brown, that watercolor looks good, I don't know how you got it? Did you buy it or a friend? I suggest you get someone to have it appraised!

If I'm not mistaken, it's the work of the famous British painter William Turner, or to be precise, his early works, you can compare his painting "Caernarvon Castle" in 1799.

This painting is older than Caernarvon Castle, probably from William Turner's teenage years, and there is still a little similarity in the two paintings, although not obvious!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed to a landscape painting hanging on the wall on the right side of the store.

It is a watercolor landscape with a romantic tendency, depicting the suburbs of London in the 18th century, and the painting technique is slightly immature, but there is a shadow of a master.

As soon as he walked into this store, Ye Tian raised his eyes and saw the painting and came to an extremely accurate conclusion.

The reason why this painting is so striking is not because of its great artistic value and market value, but because there is only such an antique artwork in this shop!

The red glow and the enchanting halo it emits are very different from the other items in the store, and it is very eye-catching!

Of course, this is in Ye Tian's eyes! In the eyes of others, this painting is no different from those books and furniture.

Although it was a painting by the master William Turner, it was only the work of his teenage years, the style of painting was not mature, and this is a watercolor painting, and the value is not high.

What's heavier is that the painting hangs in a store.

Even if Ye Tian likes this watercolor painting and wants to take it into his pocket, there is no possibility of succeeding at all!

As soon as he opened his mouth and offered to buy the painting, Brown instantly understood that this watercolor was not an ordinary painting, but most likely a work of art of great value.

Ye Tian wanted to get this painting, unless he used some less glamorous means that he himself disdained, such as deception or theft!

For him, there was no need for this, and the value of this painting was not so great that he would not hesitate to turn his back on his principles and do whatever it takes.

"William Turner's watercolours, how could it be? It's just a painting I bought for fifteen pounds at the Portebello Market!"

Brown turned his head to look at the watercolor and muttered to himself, completely stupid.

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then led Betty to the row of shelves next to him, ready to take a look at the books displayed there, although they had no desire to buy them.

During the journey, Ye Tian also whispered to Betty and the others to introduce the famous British painter William Turner.

"William Turner was one of the most famous and skilled artists in England as a famous Romantic landscape painter, watercolourist and printmaker.

He was a representative of the British academic painters of the first half of the 19th century, and was known for his depiction of the subtle relationship between light and air, especially watery scenes.

In the history of Western art, William Turner is one of the most outstanding landscape painters, and his special contribution is to place landscape painting on an equal footing with history painting and portraiture.

William Turner began painting at a young age, and at the age of fifteen, his watercolor landscapes were exhibited in public and became famous.

While talking, Ye Tian and the others had already come to the shelf and began to appreciate the books displayed on the shelf.

As soon as they stood still, Brown hurried over, his face full of surprise.

When he got closer, he immediately whispered excitedly:

"Excuse me, Mr. Steven, may I ask the market value of that watercolor? I am a complete layman who knows nothing about the appraisal of works of art!

You're the top antique art expert, with a sharp eye and a very accurate appraisal, so I'd like to ask you to help me identify it, it's very important to me!"

Ye Tian turned his head to look at this buddy, then looked at the painting of William Turner, and then nodded with a smile and said:

"No problem, it's just a gesture, but I also want to make a request, I can help you identify it, but you have to keep it a secret for the time being that I found this painting!

As you may have guessed, we are going to continue to visit the Portebelu Antique Market, and I don't want to be treated as a flood by all the antique dealers in the market!

After today, we leave the Portebello Antique Market, and you can announce the news, or you can take the painting to the auction house for appraisal!"

Hearing this, Brown immediately took a deep look at Ye Tian!

The Portebello Antique Market will be looted today, and when the sun sets today, God knows how many antique dealers will cry to death in the toilets!

There must be friends among them who know themselves, and I can only hope that God will bless them, and don't become the target of looting, and become another ghost of this guy Steven!

"No problem, Mr. Steven, I'll keep it a secret for the time being, and I won't announce the discovery of this painting until sunset today, when you leave the Portebello Antique Market!"

Brown nodded lightly, his voice low for the other customers in the store to hear.

Ye Tian glanced at the painting again, and then gave the answer with a smile.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Brown, and as far as I can judge, this watercolor of William Turner must have been painted between the ages of sixteen and eighteen, when William Turner was just starting out.

At that time, Wilhelm Turner's style had not yet been formed, it was only beginning to take on a romantic color, and it was only a watercolor painting, and its value could not be compared with that of his landscape paintings.

In view of this, although this is a masterpiece, the value of this painting is not as high as that, and with the current market conditions, this watercolor should be worth about 100,000 euros!"

"Wow! 100,000 euros! I am so satisfied, an ordinary painting of fifteen pounds has become a work of art worth 100,000 euros in the blink of an eye, it is like a dream, it is so unreal!

I own a shop that sells the most expensive set of limited editions, and it's only worth 5,000 pounds, and 100,000 euros is a windfall for me, I couldn't have imagined it before!"

Brown exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes full of ecstasy.

Fortunately, this buddy's emotional control ability is not bad, and he is not too excited, otherwise it will be troublesome!

You know, there are a few customers in the store, and they're looking at this side with good eyes.

If they knew that Ye Tian found a painting by William Turner as soon as he entered the store, and spread the news quickly, then Ye Tian wouldn't want to buy any antique art today!

Of course, this did not prevent him from his plan to ransack the Portebello antique market, but the person who made the sweep could only be Bowie, who had already entered the market!

Next, Ye Tian whispered about the watercolor painting and the similarities between the watercolor painting and William Turner's other work, "Caernarfon Castle".

The similarities he points out are the best basis for identifying the watercolor landscape in front of him!

Hearing his explanation, Brown remembered these words as if he had received a treasure, and the joy in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and it was about to overflow!

After Ye Tian finished explaining, this guy immediately said goodbye and left, took down the painting and returned directly to the office in the back, not even caring about the business of the shop in front!
