"Hello, how much does this oil painting cost?"

"$500, the best price! Do you want to buy it?"

"Wow! Too expensive! Forget it!"

"Hello, what's the price of this pair of candlesticks?"

"$650, or $600 without this wooden box"

……

After scanning several stalls one after another, Ye Tiandu found nothing.

At this time, he has realized that it is not easy to pick up treasures here!

The Chelsea Flea Market has a lot of good stuff. Ye Tian has seen a lot of antiques from the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century.

I even saw a sculpture from the 18th century, which exuded orange light and had a lot of outer halo, which was of great value.

But there are more sophisticated people here, and the prices of good antiques are very high. They are completely at the market price, there is no profit at all, and there is nothing to pick up!

Obviously, the antiques he can see on the surface can also be seen by others, and he understands the market very well.

Ye Tian understood the reason when he thought of Jason's second-hand store stall.

The stalls in this flea market are basically second-hand shops and antique shops, with very few individuals. After all, this is Manhattan, and the management fees are much higher than in Brooklyn!

For individual stall owners, the cost here is a bit high and not easy to accept.

DUNBO Dumbo is different, the fee is relatively low, and it is more of a personal booth.

Most of these stall owners from second-hand shops and antique shops have a certain degree of appreciation and are considered professionals or semi-professionals. Naturally, they will not let their treasures be lost in front of their eyes and others will take advantage of them!

Moreover, they and some professional treasure diggers are constantly combing the entire market. As long as they find something profitable and good, they will take action immediately. How can they leave Ye Tianlai to pick up treasures?

Comparedly speaking, it is easier to pick up treasures from the lower-grade DUNBO.

Despite this, Ye Tian was not completely disappointed.

After all, I have abilities that others do not have. As long as it is an antique and it is in this market, it will never escape my eyes.

Other professionals and semi-professionals cannot know everything, so omissions are inevitable!

And these missing treasures are Ye Tian's real goal.

……

Half an hour has passed in the constant sweep of stalls and inquiries.

A lot of treasures have been found, but none have been captured. The treasure hunt must continue.

At this time, Ye Tian had already finished sweeping the middle passage and moved to the other side, where there were more stalls.

After five or six stalls in a row, I still didn’t spend a penny.

When he walked to the seventh stall and stood there, scanning the goods here, his eyes under his sunglasses immediately flashed with surprise.

“All hard work pays off! My legs are getting thinner, and it’s finally time to harvest!”

There are six or seven antiques on the stall, spanning nearly one to two hundred years, radiating red or white light, and extremely beautiful. It is obvious that this is a very powerful second-hand store.

Ye Tian had no intention of asking for prices on the antiques placed at the stall owner's disposal.

It’s useless to ask! Definitely not making any money!

At this time, his eyes were staring at a modern photograph through his sunglasses.

This work is mounted in a simple-style photo frame. The picture is very familiar. Every New Yorker has seen it, and even every American has seen it.

"Manhattan Hanging Sun"

This is the subject of the photo shoot! A very famous sight in New York.

Due to the checkerboard-like architectural layout of Manhattan, every year on May 28th and July 12th, the sun will fill all the east-west streets of Manhattan at sunset, presenting a spectacular scene for up to 15 minutes.

On December 5th and January 8th, this kind of scenery will appear with the sunrise, which is extremely magnificent.

Every time these days come, countless tourists from all over the United States and around the world flock to New York to enjoy this spectacular scenery.

This has become a tourist card of New York, appearing countless times in postcards, advertisements, photography, movies, television, and other media.

And on the streets of New York, there are countless photography works of "Manhattan Sunrise", which can be seen everywhere, even on the streets!

The work in front of me does not have any signatures on it. The photo is not bad, but it is obviously not by a famous artist, so it is not of much value.

Judging from the stall owner's behavior of throwing it casually on the stall and mixing it with movie posters, this thing is not worth much money at all in his eyes.

But in Ye Tian’s opinion, this photographic work is valuable!

Because what he saw was completely different from others. In the eyes of others, this was just an ordinary tourist souvenir.

But in Ye Tian's eyes, this ordinary photograph radiated red light! Judging by the depth of the red light, it's from the late nineteenth century!

In addition, there are many layers of halo on the photo, which has high artistic value and is not a worthless tourist souvenir.

How could such a thing exist in the late nineteenth century? Not even color photos!

More importantly, the car taillights all over the street in the photo, the fashionable clothing of the people, and the familiar buildings on both sides of the street all prove that this is a modern photography!

Then what’s going on with this red light all over the body? Could it be that I am dazzled?

Although he did not use perspective, Ye Tian was already very sure that there was a secret in this photograph!

Hidden behind the photo is an antique from the late nineteenth century that is 100% hidden. Judging from its size and thickness, it is likely to be a painting, and it was painted by a famous artist!

As for whose work it is, you will only know if you open the photo frame and see it again!

From discovering a photograph to making a basic judgment, it only takes a moment.

At this moment, Ye Tian had made up his mind to win it no matter what!

I am going to get rich again!

After calming down his excitement a little, he immediately smiled and started talking to the stall owner.

"Hello, can you take a look at this painting "Manhattan Hanging Sun"?"

The stall owner looked at the picture frame thrown on the stall, smiled and nodded.

"Yes, please do as you please!"

"Okay"

Ye Tian responded, then reached out and picked up the picture frame, his expression was calm and unhurried.

But in his eyes under his sunglasses, a look of ecstasy was already flashing.

Ye Tian looked at the picture frame. There was a layer of glass on the front and a whole sealed wooden board on the back, which perfectly covered the back of the photo.

The frame shows no signs of tampering and is in perfect condition. It is estimated that it has not passed through the hands of a few people since it entered the second-hand store until I picked it up and examined it.

The frame is very light, indicating that the material is average and of little value.

Because of this, the second-hand store did not bother with the idea of ​​framing the picture, and the secret inside has been preserved to this day.

"Perfect!"

Ye Tian was so excited that he almost jumped up and punched in celebration.

The next second, he suppressed his excitement and asked the stall owner in a calm tone:

"Hello, how much does this painting "Manhattan Hanging Sun" cost? I want to buy it"

The stall owner looked at him with a smile and casually quoted a price.

"For only $30, it's yours!"

"Twenty dollars! These things are all over the streets, but they are not worth 30 dollars. I am also a New Yorker and live in Brooklyn"

Ye Tian returned the offer with a smile, and cut off $10 with one stroke.

The stall owner had obviously made a profit at this price, so he nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

"OK, deal, $20, sold to you!"

"Okay, deal!"

Ye Tian smiled and shook hands with the other party, then took out 20 US dollars from his wallet and handed it over.

Baby got it! Get rich!

Ye Tian felt ecstatic in his heart, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

This made the stall owner a little puzzled. Is he so happy? Isn’t it just a broken photo that can be seen everywhere!

Then, Ye Tian turned around and took his backpack, preparing to put the picture frame in it.

When he turned his head, he saw a familiar and annoying face.

Garcia also came to the Chelsea Flea Market and was standing not far behind, with two or three people beside him.

It’s not that enemies don’t get together! Encountered again!

Seeing Garcia appear here, Ye Tian felt a little surprised.

He didn't know that Garcia was a professional treasure digger and a frequent visitor here. He would come here basically every weekend to sell used goods and dig for treasures.

Ye Tian ignored them, put his hand out and put the photo frame into his backpack, said hello to the stall owner, and then prepared to leave.

At this moment, Garcia's sarcastic voice came over.

"Chinese boy, aren't you very generous with your spending? How come you can't even bargain for 30 US dollars?"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and looked over, sneered and said to Garcia:

"Whether I am generous or not has nothing to do with you! But I am a little curious, why didn't you get involved just now? Aren't you used to being a troublemaker? If you also bid this time, I will be happy to paint this I’ll give you the frame”

Garcia's face changed, and he suppressed his anger and said disdainfully:

"I'm not interested in garbage! If you want to see the 'Manhattan Sunrise', you can stand on the street and see the real scene in a few days. Spend money to buy such a thing? I'm not crazy!"

Ye Tian didn't fight back, just showed a victor's smile, then turned and left.

"Is this the Chinese guy who paid $1,000 for tableware?"

A black man next to Garcia asked curiously.

"Yes, that's him. This guy obviously has some money!"

"Chinese people are all rich! They are all shopping for goods in luxury stores, and they really want to buy the whole world!"

Another buddy next to him said enviously.

"How about setting him up? Raise the price for him and earn some kickbacks from the stall owner!"

The black man said eagerly, with greed flashing in his eyes.

Garcia's eyes immediately lit up and he nodded excitedly. .

"This is a good idea. Let's help him raise the price and make me angry!"

"What if this kid doesn't follow? Wouldn't it be bad luck for us?"

The other person said a little worriedly.

"Don't worry! As long as this guy has his eye on something, he will be tough and won't give in when bidding, and the situation you mentioned will not happen"

Garcia explained very confidently, with a proud smile on his face.

At this moment, he seemed to have seen Ye Tian's unlucky appearance.

"Okay then! Let's go and have a look, maybe we can really make some extra money!"

The other people were very excited and were already gearing up.

At this time, Ye Tian was already standing in front of another stall, searching for treasures.
