Ye Tian shook hands with the antique shopkeeper, then said with a smile:

"Edmundo, you get busy first, greet these two guests, leave us alone, let's take a look at the things in your antique shop"

"Okay, Steven, please, if you need to, just call me"

Edmundo nodded in response, then turned back to deal with the two guests from earlier.

Ye Tian and the others looked at the things displayed in the store, which included antique artworks from various eras, regions, and different styles, as well as many imitations, modern handicrafts, and so on.

In the process of appreciating these things, Ye Tian also explained the relevant knowledge to Betty and the others in a low voice, as professional and accurate as ever.

Of course, what he introduces and explains is some antique art that is on the surface and that Edmundo must know and understand its value.

If he encounters a possible leak, he will naturally skip it so as not to reveal the flaw.

A few minutes later, the other two customers in the store finally completed the transaction.

They bought a landscape painting of a landscape on the Alps for less than a thousand euros.

Although the transaction was completed, they did not leave the antique shop immediately, but looked at Ye Tian's side, their eyes full of curiosity and interest.

The name of the man, the shadow of the tree!

Now Ye Tian is the most concerned figure in the Milan Canal Antique Market and even the whole of Milan.

Moreover, he is also the world's top antique art appraisal expert, the most outstanding professional treasure hunter, and his reputation is great!

Being able to see him buying and selling antique art at the scene, as art collectors, those two guests are willing to let go of this opportunity!

After dealing with the two guests, Edmundo immediately walked over to Ye Tian's side, with a worried look in his eyes and a look of worry.

When he came closer, Ye Tian immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to a marble sculpture head placed on the ground, and asked curiously:

"Edmundo, what's the matter with this head? If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be the head of Hephaestus, the god of fire, where has the torso of this sculpture gone, how is there only one head left?"

The marble head he was referring to was a remnant of a sculpture, only the head above the neck remained, and the saw marks on the neck were very obvious and dusty, and it should have not been cleaned for a long time!

As for the image of Hephaestus, the god of fire, anyone who has studied a little ancient Greek mythology should be able to recognize it, let alone Ye Tian!

Edmundo looked at the marble sculpture head, and then looked at Ye Tian deeply, and then spoke:

"You're right, Steven, this is indeed the head of Hephaestus, the god of fire in ancient Greek mythology, a sculpture I collected from the Milanese countryside.

When I received this sculpture, there was only a head, and there was no way to verify where the torso of the sculpture went, and the original owner of the sculpture did not know.

Perhaps the torso of this Vulcan sculpture was lost or shattered a long time ago, but only this head has survived to this day.

Because the torso of the sculpture is missing and there are no marks on the head, we have studied it but are unable to determine that it belongs to the sculptor.

Judging from the way this marble head was created, it should have been created after the Renaissance movement, which is clearly different from the sculptures of the ancient Greek period."

"It seems that you know this marble head very well, so I would like to ask you what price you plan to sell it for? If the price is reasonable, I intend to take this head and take it back to study."

Ye Tian said with a smile, his tone was very relaxed.

As his words fell, the scene immediately fell silent.

Edmundo looked at the Vulcan head again, his eyes full of doubt,

Is this a top-notch work of art worth a lot of money? That's why Steven, a greedy guy, wants to get his hands on it.

Everyone else in the store looked at the marble head, equally puzzled, not understanding what the value of the marble head was.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Edmundo said with a worried expression:

"Truth be told, Steven, this Vulcan head has been in my antique shop for five years, and almost no one cares about it, and no one knows whose sculpture it is.

Since you ask about the price, and you are the top antique art appraisal expert in the industry, and your vision is extremely sharp, I don't dare to ask for a price.

The price of this avatar is 2500 euros, and if you can accept it, then you can take this avatar with you, but here is a premise, I hope you can grant me a request.

After the transaction is completed, it is best for you to explain the situation of this avatar, tell me about your appraisal conclusion, and the mystery of the origin of this avatar has been bothering me for five years!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Tian nodded very happily and agreed.

"Okay, Edmundo, 2500 euros deal, after the transaction is completed, I will tell you my conclusions, I hope to solve the doubts in your heart"

"Deal, Steven, congratulations, you've got a beautiful sculpture"

Edmundo said in pain, reluctantly shook hands with Ye Tian, and reached the art deal.

It was only at this point that he was truly sure that this guy Steven was indeed interested in buying this Vulcan avatar, rather than tentatively asking for a price and making fun of himself.

Although he regretted it in his heart, Edmundo also understood it very well.

If you regret it and don't sell this Vulcan avatar to Steven, but keep it, then the fate of this avatar is very likely to be the same as before, and continue to be thrown in the corner to collect ashes!

The reason is very simple, except for Steven, I'm afraid no second person can recognize the origin of this Vulcan avatar.

In the past five years, countless people have seen this marble head, but no one can recognize it, including some of the top antique art experts.

Even if someone can identify this Vulcan avatar, whether they are willing to bear the high cost of identification before the appraisal conclusion is released is a matter of two words.

If it's a Waterloo, this marble head doesn't have much value, then I won't lose a lot of money.

Besides, he has already given an offer, and Steven accepted it without hesitation, there is no counteroffer at all, is there any room for regret?

With Steven's usual ruthless style, if he repents, this guy will definitely send himself to the dock of the court, making him discredited and even bankrupt!

In the end, don't even think about keeping this Vulcan head.

Who doesn't know, this guy Steven is always accompanied by a private lawyer, as if he is ready to go to court at any time, this kind of thoughtful and terrible bastard, who the hell can afford to provoke!

It was precisely because of these thoughts that Edmundo gritted his back molars and shook hands with Ye Tian to reach the deal.

Next, Ye Tian wiped the dust off the Vulcan avatar, moved it to his feet, and paid for the goods through bank transfer, drawing a successful end to the transaction.

After confirming the receipt of the payment, Edmundo immediately said with anticipation:

"Steven, the deal is done, you can tell you the conclusion, this problem has been bothering me for five years, I hope you can help solve it"

After speaking, this buddy stared at Ye Tian, expecting him to give an answer.

Everyone else at the scene was the same, all looking at Ye Tian, and everyone's eyes were full of anticipation.

Ye Tian shook his head lightly, smiled and said:

"Rest easy, Edmundo, in this antique shop of yours, I am not only interested in this Vulcan head, but also in another work of art.

If the price of that artwork is right, I'd like to pocket it, and when all the deals are done, I'll explain it to you before it's too late!"

Hearing this, everyone at the scene was stunned, their eyes full of incredulity.

Immediately after, everyone turned to look at Edmundo, and everyone's eyes were full of sympathy, even pity!

This guy is so unlucky today, he ran into Steven, a greedy guy, and he was going to be robbed twice in a row, and he probably wanted to die!

Without waiting for Edmundo to answer, Ye Tian smiled again and said:

"Edmundo, I only made two shots in your antique shop today, and after the transaction is completed and explained, I can help you identify a few antique artworks and give an accurate valuation ,......"

Before the words fell, Edmundo quickly turned from sadness to joy, and said excitedly:

"Did I hear me right? Steven, you'll help me identify a few antique works of art and give me an estimate later, and if that's the case, then I'd be so grateful!"

As an antique dealer who has been in the antique art market for many years, Edmundo knows very well how valuable Ye Tian's promise is.

The same thing has happened before, and it has caused quite a stir in the industry, and it has even been rumored to be a beautiful talk.

The guy who was lucky enough to get this promise last time, with the help of Steven, actually found several top-quality antique artworks of great value in his stall and dug up treasures from the garbage heap!

With that precious opportunity like gold, that lucky guy became a billionaire worth tens of millions of euros in a blink of an eye, and staged a legend of a successful counterattack!

Now that such a fabled golden opportunity is in front of him, can Edmundo not be thrilled? This guy is even a little incoherent!

"You heard me right, Edmundo, I will do what I say, and you don't need to thank you, I appreciate the way you do business and your attitude, so I give this promise.

Tell me about that geometric abstract painting, where did it come from, by which artist, how much was it worth? I'm a little interested in that painting."

As he spoke, Ye Tian stretched out his hand and pointed to a geometric abstract painting hanging on the wall.
