Chapter 1356 Dig a deep pit again

The next day, at the Saint-Tuan thrift market in Paris.

Regarding the transaction of the ancient building on the Île de la Cité, Ye Tian entrusted it to his team of French lawyers, and he himself took a break to continue to take Betty on a tour of the city of Paris.

At this time, they are in the Paris Saint-Tuan thrift market, the world's largest thrift market, and the world's oldest and most famous antique thrift market!

It is also the birthplace of flea markets, dating back to 1884.

In the beginning, the poor people who lived in the suburbs of northern Paris picked up valuable things from the discarded goods they picked up and sold them here, and gradually became a market.

After a while, this pattern was soon adopted by the upper class of Paris, who also came to the market to sell high-value items such as antiques and treasures.

Over the next 100 years, the thrift market has grown and become more influential!

Today, the San Tuan thrift market has become the most famous, oldest and largest antique flea market in the world!

There are more than 2,500 stalls selling antique arts and crafts, more than 500 large businesses, 13 sub-markets, covering an area of more than 30,000 square meters, and five or six million tourists visit here every year!

As a professional treasure hunter and an antique insider, the Saint-Tuan thrift market is a must-visit for Ye Tian on his trip to Paris, and it is definitely not to be missed!

For him with the clairvoyance ability, this is a huge treasure with a completely open door and no defense, and he can take it and ransack it as he wants!

No, they had only been at the San Tuan thrift market for just over an hour, and they had won more than a dozen pieces of antique art one after another at extremely low prices, and each one was worth a lot of money!

In the eyes of many people in the market, the antique artworks that were in Matisse's hands and sent back to the car by them were not worth a lot of money at all!

But Ye Tian understands better than anyone else where those antique artworks come from, and what kind of artistic value and market value they have.

Just when he kept scanning and ransacking the antique stall owners of the Saint-Touan thrift market, the news of his arrival at the Saint-Tuan thrift market also spread throughout the market, causing quite a stir!

For his arrival, many antique stall owners in the Saint-Tuan thrift market are worried and excited, and their feelings are very complicated!

The concern is whether these crazy Yankees will bring danger to everyone, and even turn the Saint-Touan thrift market into a battlefield, the bloody killing that took place a few days ago is still vivid!

Excitedly, Steven's bastard is a super-rich man who has money in his pocket, and he is known for never being stingy with money whenever he sees antique artwork that makes him happy!

Of course, there are people who have other ideas!

Not long after coming to the San Tuan thrift market, Ye Tian had a few more tails behind them, and each of those guys had a greedy gaze in their eyes, staring closely at Ye Tian's every move!

These guys are not thieves everywhere in the market, because of the existence of Matisse and those Paris policemen who do not hide their identities, even if they borrow the courage of the thieves, they dare not come to Ye Tian's side!

The guys behind Ye Tian and them were all treasure hunters and antique vendors who ate in the San Tuan thrift market, and they were more or less Ye Tian's peers.

These guys all know about Ye Tian's ability to identify antique artworks, and the reason why they follow behind Ye Tian is nothing more than to take advantage of the east wind to pick up some leaks and make a small fortune!

If it is possible, they even want to cut off their beards, see the right time, and snatch one or two valuable antique artworks from Ye Tian's hands, maybe they can get rich overnight and change their lives!

Ye Tian didn't pay attention to these tails who followed behind, he just laughed at these guys in secret, he didn't know how to live or die!

This is all too common, and when he used to visit the antique market in New York, there was also a group of guys who used to sneak behind him, trying to pick up the leaks or cut off an antique art piece or two!

However, those guys, without exception, all fell into his ubiquitous trap, and they were all pitted with tears and hatred, gritting their teeth and hating him, but they were helpless!

After a while, he went to the antique market to sweep the goods, and no one dared to follow him to try to take advantage, everyone was eight feet away from him, lest he be cheated again!

Obviously, the people in the San Tuan thrift market have only heard of Ye Tian's incomparably sharp eyes, but they have never seen them, but they don't know enough about his endless tricks!

"It seems that it is necessary to teach these guys a lesson, let them learn a lesson, and let them experience the good feeling of being pitted!"

Ye Tian took the opportunity to look back at a stall behind him, and glanced at the few peers whose eyes were flickering, and a trace of fierceness quickly flashed in his eyes!

Then he turned his head and looked at a stall on his right.

This is a very ordinary thrift stall that can be found everywhere in the San Tuan thrift market!

The stall is about three meters wide, and there is a shed on it, with two tables in front and display shelves on both sides and behind it.

In addition, there are some old books piled up on the ground, as well as some beautiful crafts.

The so-called antique artworks on the tables and shelves are real and fake, and even if there are a few genuine pieces, they are not of much value and are not worth selling at all!

After a quick glance, Ye Tian completely grasped the situation of this stall.

Although there was nothing exciting on the stall, he did not leave immediately, but pointed to something on the stall and asked the stall owner in a slightly excited tone:

"Man, can I take a look at this bronze hourglass? This thing looks very good, it has a bit of a historical charm, it looks like it's been some years old!"

"No problem, Mr. Steven, you can take care of it, this is a very good antique, I believe it will make you excited!"

The stall owner in his thirties said with a smile, his tone was very sincere, but a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

Top antique art appraisal experts? Don't blow it, do you? How does it look like a mallet!

The trace of contempt in the stall owner's eyes did not escape Ye Tian's eyes, and he did not take it to heart.

After getting the stall owner's consent, Ye Tian reached out and picked up the bronze hourglass, and admired it with great care, his expression was quite serious, and there was a faint look of joy!

This is a bronze hourglass with a simple shape, about 20 centimeters high, small and exquisite, the upper and lower bases are round, and three dendritic copper pillars with the thickness of the index finger connect the upper and lower bases.

In the middle of the three dendritic copper pillars, there are two droplet-shaped transparent glass covers, and the texture is crystal clear!

The glass cover above the hourglass contains some fine white sand, and the sand is flowing through the narrow pipe, little by little, into the glass cover below, giving people the feeling of time passing!

In Ye Tian's eyes, this hourglass has no value at all, it can only be regarded as a well-made handicraft, and it is 108,000 miles away from antique artworks!

But it was such a worthless thing, but he looked at it quite seriously, and even unconsciously, showed a hint of joy!

His performance fell into the eyes of the guys behind him, and it instantly made the eyes of those guys brighten up and get excited!

"Looking at his expression, Steven's guy seems to have discovered something again, is that bronze hourglass a valuable antique art? I don't know how much it is worth from that era?"

"It's definitely not much worse to be able to be liked by that guy Steven, and let him seriously appreciate it for a long time, maybe it's an antique of a lot of value, let's go and have a look!

If Steven is interested in taking that bronze hourglass, we must be the first to strike, we have already missed several antique artworks before, and we can't miss the opportunity this time!"

As he spoke, these guys walked towards the stall where Ye Tian and the others were, and everyone's eyes flashed with greed.

As everyone knows, there is a bottomless pit waiting for them in front of them, and they are definitely worse than dead, unforgettable!
