Walking closer, the antique shopkeeper forced out a smile and greeted Ye Tian, speaking French English with a strong accent.

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, long admirer of the great name, welcome to the Saint-Touan thrift market, welcome to my antique shop, my name is Alphonse, I am the owner of this antique shop, it is a pleasure to meet you!"

Ye Tian shook hands with the other party, and said with a smile:

"Good morning, Mr. Alphonse, I'm Steven, I'm from New York, USA, and I'm glad to meet you, your antique shop is very nice and attractive!

When I entered the door, I saw a sign at the door that said 'Professionals only', do you think I'm a professional? Can you come in and have a visit?"

It's true that we don't accept non-professionals here, but we don't want to take you crazy fellow, and God knows how many valuable treasures you bastard will take away from me!

Alphonse wanted to say this, and directly rejected Ye Tian, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only complain in his heart!

At the same time, he was secretly praying for God's blessing not to become another unlucky bastard in the Saint-Tuan thrift market, the object of ridicule!

"The 'Professionals Only' sign is aimed at curious visitors, and you're a top expert in antique art, which of course doesn't count!"

Alphonse shook his head slightly, the smile on his face somewhat reluctant.

After a few polite greetings, Ye Tian began to look at the situation of this antique store, and secretly geared up, ready to continue the crazy sweeping action and make a lot of money!

The area of this antique shop is not small, there are eighty or ninety square meters of display area in front of the open to the public, and there are rooms in the back, the area is unknown.

The antique shop specializes in oil paintings, and several walls and display shelves in the store are filled with oil paintings created in various eras, styles, and sizes!

The number of paintings in the shop is so large that many of them have no place to hang, but can only stand diagonally against the wall or on the display stand, and the rest of the place is full of paintings, except for the walkway and the rest area.

There are classicist paintings from the Renaissance era, impressionist paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and hyperrealist paintings, which are popular nowadays.

In Ye Tian's eyes, these oil paintings radiate a variety of different lights, colorful and extremely beautiful!

On almost every painting, Ye Tian could see a charming halo, more or less.

Among them, there are many valuable masterpieces, which is Ye Tian's goal, but the value of many more paintings is relatively average, which cannot make him moved.

In addition, on a small shelf on the right side of the door, there are some professional retractable painting tubes, as well as some other things related to painting!

Except for Ye Tian, who had just come in, there were five people in the store.

Alfonso and two clerks, as well as a middle-aged white couple admiring the paintings, seem to be regular customers here, and they know Alfonso well!

As Ye Tian and the others walked into the antique shop, everyone in the store turned their heads to look at the door, and the moment they saw Ye Tian's face clearly, the faces of several people couldn't help but change, without exception.

It can be seen from the changes in their eyes and emotions that Ye Tian's arrival made each of them a little frightened and vaguely excited!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian already knew the situation of this antique shop!

However, the necessary superficial work still needs to be done, Ye Tian did not immediately start sweeping the goods, that is too shocking, it is difficult not to arouse the suspicion of others!

Accompanied by Alphonse, he began to admire the many paintings in the antique shop with great interest, which did not look much different from the other tourists.

In the process of appreciating these oil paintings, Ye Tian kept asking about the creators of the paintings, the age of the paintings, and the price, and discussed the content of the paintings with Alphonse.

Alphonse, as the owner of the shop, although he was extremely reluctant and worried, had to introduce the relevant information of these oil paintings in the store to Ye Tian and make an offer!

Even if the price he said was much higher than usual, he still had a lot of thoughts in his heart, because he couldn't guess when Ye Tian would make a move and would be interested in that painting!

All he can do is to raise the offer within a reasonable range and reduce his losses as much as possible, and the rest will be left to fate!

Twenty minutes pass quickly, the show time is over, and it's time to shoot!

Ye Tian walked to a landscape painting he had just admired, pointed to the oil painting hanging on the wall and said:

"Alphonse, if I'm not mistaken, this mid-nineteenth-century landscape painting, The Forest of Fontainebleau, you just quoted for 18,000 euros.

I love the landscape depicted in this painting and want to keep it in my private collection, so that I can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Paris even when I return to New York!

If you don't disagree, we can trade now, I get this beautiful landscape painting, you get 18,000 euros, everyone gets their place, everyone is happy!

I'm not French after all, and once you've completed the deal, you'd better get a certificate stating the name of the painting and the price of the sale so I can bring it back to New York!

Anderson is my personal lawyer, and he will witness this art transaction between us and sign the transaction contract to ensure that the transaction is legally sound."

Hearing this, Alphonse was directly stunned in place, looking at Ye Tian in a daze, his eyes full of incredulity!

After a brief shock, he immediately turned his head to look at the oil painting hanging on the wall, and began to examine the painting that had been hanging in his shop for a long time, his eyes full of doubt!

It's a pity that he didn't see whose painting it was, only that it was a landscape oil painting from the mid-19th century, and now in such a short period of time, he naturally can't see why!

Just now, when he took Ye Tian to admire this painting, he had already quoted the price and other information!

At this time, Ye Tian suddenly turned around and was about to buy this painting, and he didn't plan to negotiate the price at all, what could he do? Could it be that he broke his word and refused to sell this painting?

If he dares to do that, who will believe him if he doesn't want to do business in the Saint-Tuan thrift market in the future?

Besides, so many people at the scene witnessed everything that had just happened, and there was a lawyer among them, if he broke his promise, then wait for the summons from the court!

As soon as he thought of this, Alphonse couldn't wait to slap himself twice!

What a fucking stupidity, why did you quote the price of these oil paintings just now, now it's okay, it's been exploited by this bastard Steven!

Things have developed to this point, what else can Alphonse do? He can only watch Ye Tian buy this landscape oil painting! There is no other way!

After a closer look at the landscape painting, Alphonse still didn't see the value of the painting.

Then, he withdrew his gaze, nodded helplessly and said:

"Well, Steven, I can sell this mid-nineteenth-century landscape painting, The Forest of Fontainebleau, for the price of eighteen thousand euros!

There is no problem with signing the art transaction contract and issuing the relevant certificates, and with the transaction contract and certificates, you can easily pass through the customs with this oil painting!"

"That's great! Alphonse, 18,000 euros, deal!"

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, shook Alphonse's hand, and reached the deal.

"The deal has been made, as long as the bank transfer is completed and the transaction contract is signed, you can take this painting of the Forest of Fontainebleau with you, congratulations, Steven!

But I still don't quite understand, why did you just look at this landscape painting? Can you explain why? Steven, is this a top work of art that is worth a lot of money?

In your eyes, if it is not a top-notch artwork, I am afraid it will be difficult to make your heart move, but I and a few friends who have appraised this oil painting can't see the value of this painting!"

Alphonse asked curiously, his eyes still full of doubt, obviously unwilling.

Not only Alphons, everyone at the scene wanted to know the answer to this question, and when they heard that Alphonse didn't ask, everyone immediately looked at Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer!

"When all the deals are done and we're ready to leave here, if you still want to know the answer to this question, I don't mind telling you that it's not time yet!

In your antique shop, I have a crush on not only this painting "Forest of Fontainebleau", but also a few other oil paintings, the deal is not over yet, let's continue!"

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, and did not give the answer that everyone wanted to hear.

As the words fell, he stepped out and walked over to a display shelf in front of him.

At this time, Alphonse was stunned in place, his face pale!

And a few other paintings? Steven, the bastard, is he going to ransack my antique shop? so fucking greedy!

The rest of the people in this antique shop were all stunned at the moment, everyone looked at Ye Tian with wide eyes, and even wondered if they had heard it wrong just now!

Between three or two steps, Ye Tian walked to a display shelf and began to look down to admire a painting placed on the ground and leaning on the display shelf, which was a surrealist painting!
