Chapter 1635 escaped
It was time for lunch, but Ye Tian and the others did not return to the nearby hotel to eat.
The group found a random restaurant in Salia Square, and then sat in the alfresco dining area, enjoying the view, laughing, and chatting while enjoying a simple lunch.
From the morning to the Salia Square, until now, nearly four hours have passed, but Ye Tian and the others have only visited two-thirds of the stalls in the antique market!
In other words, a third of the antique stalls are not patronized, which is why they continue to stay in Salia Square.
At this time, the Scottish round shield of the beautiful prince Charlie was placed at Ye Tian's feet, attracting countless eyes of envy, jealousy, or greed.
Beside each of Taylor and Cole, there was a trolley suitcase, large or small, each bulging and full of things.
What those boxes contained was the harvest of Ye Tian's frenzied sweep of the antique market in Saraida Square, and every piece of antique art in it was worth a lot!
As for Bowie, who was working closely with Ye Tian and secretly sweeping Saraida Square, he was not in the square at this time!
He returned to the hotel not far away once again to put his harvest away, and the huge suitcase he was dragging in his hand was once again full of antique art.
And the guy Fresis, who also left Sarea Square.
After Ye Tian helped him identify three pieces of antique art, he handed over the stall to a friend next to him to take care of, and he took the three valuable antique weapons and left here immediately.
As an antique dealer who eats in Salia Square, he knows the security situation here too well, and it is a great danger to stay here for a second longer, so it is the best policy!
The combined value of those three antique weapons is nearly 10 million euros, which will inevitably attract countless covetous eyes, and if they are not in order, some people will take risks and prepare to rob!
When leaving Sarea Square, Fresis accepted Ye Tian's suggestion.
He asked the Nice police to send someone to protect him, escort him to Sotheby's auction house in Nice, and directly send the three antique weapons to auction!
Moreover, Ye Tian personally called an old friend of Sotheby's in France, asked the auction house to prepare, and sent security personnel to answer along the way!
In this way, the thoughts of some guys are completely cut off, so that those guys have no time to plan and prepare for robbery, and they can only sigh!
Within a few minutes of sitting down in the restaurant's alfresco dining area and a few drinks, the waiter brought everyone lunch.
Since you are in Nice, you naturally want to taste the unique food of Nice, so that it is worth the trip.
On the table in front of Ye Tian are pissaladière (pizza made with onion and anchovy sauce), socca (pancake made from chickpea flour), Marseille fish soup, and a nice salad.
All of these are famous local delicacies in Nice, Ye Tian and Betty have eaten them before, and they like them quite well, and the taste is not bad!
The few tables next to Cole and the others sat on were basically these dishes.
In addition to these, there is also a sandwich called 'Pan-bagnat', which is made with French bread with onions, boiled eggs, tuna, olives, etc., which is also a local delicacy.
In addition, there are some unique drinks in Nice, which are also very good to drink and have a unique taste.
As always, when the waiter brought these delicacies to the table, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective as usual, and quickly saw through all the delicacies, and did not let go of a single dish!

He did this to prevent someone from tampering or adding something disgusting, like spit.
This has happened a few times before and has to be careful!
Fortunately, this time it was not bad, Ye Tian did not find anything that should not be in these delicacies, and he could enjoy it with confidence!
After making sure that it was safe, Ye Tian withdrew his gaze and ended the perspective.
"Let's get started, after this delicious lunch, after a short break, we can continue to visit the antique market, I am sure, there are more surprises waiting for us"
As he spoke, Ye Tian picked up the knife and fork and prepared to start.
At this moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting his movements.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, excuse me, I have something I want to talk to you about, I wonder if you're free?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately put down the knife and fork in his hand and turned his head to look over.
The speaker was a white man in his fifties and sixties, tall, slightly fat, with a reddish face, judging by the clothes on his body, he should have come to Nice for a vacation, and he was worth a lot of money!
Next to the white man, there stood a white woman in her forties, who was still charming, who was supposed to be the white man's partner.
Behind them were two tall bodyguards, who looked a little nervous, staring at Ye Tian and Cole, who were always on guard.
Ye Tian quickly looked at these people, and secretly turned on the perspective, and saw these people through, and instantly grasped their identities.
Although the two bodyguards in the back were carrying pistols, Ye Tian knew that these people were not threatening, they were not his enemies, and they should have something to talk to him.
After retracting his gaze and ending the perspective, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"This gentleman, we don't seem to know each other, I don't know if you have anything to talk to me about? I'm curious, you two please sit down, we can have coffee and talk at the same time."
As he spoke, Ye Tian stood up and made a gesture to sit down, and Betty also got up and nodded to the other party.
The white man immediately stepped forward, shook Ye Tian's hand, and introduced himself.
"Steven, it's a pleasure to meet you, I've admired the name for a long time, my name is Byron, I'm from Edinburgh, Scotland, this is my wife Grace, we came to Nice for a holiday, and we happened to meet you here"
"Hello, Byron, Grace, I'm glad to meet you too, Nice is a beautiful resort, it seems that you enjoy the warm Mediterranean sun, sunbathing is good!"
Ye Tian shook hands with the other party and made a small joke.
After the two sides got to know each other, Byron and Grace sat down, and Ye Tian immediately called the waiter and ordered two cups of coffee for them.
After a few words of laughter and small talk, Byron got to the point and explained his intentions.
"Steven, we just witnessed how you discovered this Scottish round shield of Prince Charlie, and gave an accurate appraisal conclusion and valuation, which is very wonderful and breathtaking.
As you said, this is a priceless national treasure, a well-deserved Scottish national treasure, we are from Edinburgh, and our ancestors are somewhat related to the Stuart dynasty.
The reason why I came here to disturb is because I came here for this Scottish round shield of Prince Charlie, and I want to buy this special national treasure from you and bring it back to Edinburgh, Scotland.
As for the price of this Scottish rupiah, according to the valuation you just gave, fifteen million euros, I don't know if you are willing to sell it?
After finishing speaking, Byron stared at Ye Tian's face tightly, his eyes were full of anticipation, looking forward to hearing the answer he wanted most.
"Sure enough, buddy guessed that you were here for this Scottish round shield of Prince Charlie."
Ye Tian said secretly in his heart, but he didn't give an answer immediately.
He pretended to think for a moment before he smiled and said:
"Byron, I have no intention of collecting this Scottish round shield specially made by Prince Charlie of the United States, and I am willing to sell it to you so that you can bring this Scottish national treasure back to Edinburgh.
However, if we trade in France, the price of this Scottish round guilder will not be fifteen million euros, but eighteen million euros.
If you're willing to wait a little longer, when I bring this top-of-the-line antique back to New York, and then we'll have a deal, then the price is fifteen million euros.
As you know, the tax burden on art in France is very high, and I have to pay a lot of taxes to complete a transaction in France, and I can avoid a lot of taxes if I trade in New York.
The price for which I bought this round shield was 6,500 euros, and when I left France, I only had to pay a customs duty on this basis, and I could leave with it!
This customs duty is negligible, and if I were to trade this antique in France, the taxable value would be fifteen million euros, and there is a world of difference!"
Hearing this, Byron and Grace were all dumbfounded, and both of them looked at Ye Tian in amazement, their eyes full of incredulity.
It was only a moment before the two of them came to their senses.
"This thing is inevitably too cunning and calculating! It's just a thousand-year-old fox, no wonder he can mix up and make a fortune, and it really deserves its reputation!"
Byron secretly complained frantically, and then fell into deep thought.
Perhaps it was an urgent mood, perhaps there was no shortage of money in his pocket, or perhaps he was worried about long nights and dreams, Byron quickly made a decision.
"Okay, Steven, eighteen million euros, I accept the price, and we'll close this antique deal in Nice, the sooner the better."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion from the antique market.
Ye Tian immediately stopped talking and turned his head to look at the antique market, not understanding what was going on over there.
I saw that the stall owners of many stalls on the side of the antique market suddenly began to pack up their things, and it seemed that they were about to close their stalls and leave Sareya Square.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel very surprised.
"It's still early, there's still half a day to go, why did these stall owners suddenly close their stalls, could it be that something happened?"
Just when he was puzzled, Byron suddenly interjected:
"When I came over there just now, I heard a few antique dealers talking about how they were going to close their stalls in advance, lest you loot the whole antique market, just like you did in Saint-Tuan, Paris!"
"Hahaha"
Everyone at the scene laughed and turned their heads to look at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian also laughed, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
The remaining one-third of the stalls in the antique market in Salia Square have escaped, and the goal of looting the place will not be completed!
