"Alphonse, the price of this surrealist oil painting created in the 1920s is twelve thousand euros, right? I want this oil painting, for this price!"
Ye Tian turned to look at Alphonse and said with a firm tone that left no room for doubt.
Alphonse woke up with a start, and then said in disbelief:
"Ah! Do you want to buy this surrealist painting? Can you tell me the reason why you bought this oil painting? This is an imitation of Picasso's painting, so it shouldn't catch your eye, right?"
As he spoke, Alphonse walked quickly to Ye Tian, staring closely at the surrealist painting, trying to figure out the secret hidden in the painting, and why he should impress Ye Tian.
Same as the previous "Fontainebleau Forest", he didn't see any abnormalities. Everything was the same as what he had seen when he admired that painting countless times before, without any change!
"Still, Alphonse, if you still want to know the answers to these questions after all the transactions are completed, I will tell you! To clear up your doubts!
Now let’s talk about this transaction. I can accept the offer you gave. After completing the transaction, I will also need you to issue a certificate so that I can take this oil painting back to New York! "
Ye Tian said with a chuckle and extended his right hand to Alphonse.
"This cunning **** actually refused to negotiate the price, so I couldn't find an excuse to refuse to sell this oil painting. It's really abominable!"
Alphonse secretly complained crazily, feeling depressed.
No matter how stupid he is, Alphonse already understands at this time that this surrealist painting is definitely extraordinary. He must have made a mistake and was missed by the **** Steven!
Fortunately, I didn’t spend much money to collect this oil painting. Even if Steven, a bastard, picked it up, I didn’t lose money, but made a small profit!
Alphonse can only comfort himself in this way to relieve his extremely depressed mood!
Although he was extremely reluctant, Alphonse stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Ye Tian to conclude the deal.
After successfully taking down the surrealist painting, Ye Tian stepped forward again, came to the opposite wall, and pointed at an impressionist oil painting hanging on the wall.
Picture the gourd! Using the same method, Ye Tian successfully acquired this Impressionist painting. It only cost 14,500 euros, which is not worth mentioning at all!
Then, he moved a few steps to the left, pointed at a classic oil painting hanging on the wall, and prepared to repeat the same trick and continue to ransack the antique store!
At this moment, Alphonse couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly stopped him.
"Stop! Steven, please, don't continue. Leave some good things for my antique shop. This is just a small business and cannot withstand the crazy looting by super predators like you!"
You can take away the three oil paintings before. At the price we agreed on, I don’t plan to sell the other paintings in this store to you anymore, even if it is very unfair!
If you are allowed to continue looting like crazy, my heart will burst and I will die after you leave the Saint-Ouin Flea Market with all your stuff. You'd better take pity on me and show your kindness! "
When he said these words, Alphonse's expression was extremely bitter, and his whole face wrinkled up.
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter, and everyone in the antique store laughed, but the content of the laughter was different.
Betty and the others' laughter was full of excitement and joy. The laughter of the two clerks in the antique store and the middle-aged white couple sounded somewhat relieved.
Without exception, they were all frightened by Ye Tian's generosity, and they also felt sorry for Alphonse!
Ye Tian turned his head to look at Alphonse, who had a bitter look on his face, and then put down his finger.
Of course he understands the principle of giving up when things go well. They are all in the same industry, they are strangers to each other, and there is no deep hatred. There is no need to kill them all, but to force the other party to hang himself!
Besides, the old French man in front of me is pretty well-behaved. He is not the kind of villain who breaks his promises and gets fat. There is no need to make such an enemy!
The Santouan flea market is huge, with hundreds of stalls and antique shops behind it, as well as many opportunities to pick up items. It doesn’t matter if you let one or two treasures go!
What’s more important is that there is Napoleon’s treasure on the Ile de la Cité as the foundation. Compared with that treasure, these priceless top-notch works of art are not worth mentioning!
Just because he thought of this, Ye Tian put down his fingers and ended the crazy looting of this antique store.
He immediately turned around, looked at Alphonse with a smile and said:
"Okay, Alphonse, you've said it all. If I continue, it will be a bit unreasonable and inhumane. That's not my style!
Let's stop here. You do still have some good works of art here, but unfortunately they are not available to me. You should keep them to yourself. I don't want to hear the news that your heart burst and died! "
"Hahaha"
The scene burst into laughter again, and Alphonse also laughed a few times in agreement, somewhat embarrassed.
Before his laughter subsided, he immediately asked impatiently:
"How many other good works of art are there? Steven, can you tell me which ones they are? I really want to know how stupid and blind I am!"
"Don't worry, when we complete the transaction procedures for the three oil paintings and the money and goods are settled, I will tell you the answers to these questions and point out the valuable works of art one by one!"
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head and said, looking confident.
"Well, that's all we can do. I will prepare an art transaction contract and issue legal certificates for these three oil paintings!"
Alphonse nodded helplessly and immediately took action.
The transaction process went very smoothly. In less than ten minutes, the two parties completed the transaction procedures. Ye Tian, Anderson, and Alphonse signed their names on the art transaction contract respectively.
To be on the safe side, Ye Tian also sent the French version of the transaction contract to his team of French lawyers and asked them to review it carefully and confirm that there were no problems before signing.
As for the English version of the contract, Anderson was naturally responsible for reviewing it, and no problems were found.
A few minutes after signing the contract, Ye Tian completed the bank transfer and transferred tens of thousands of euros into Alphonse's bank account.
At this point, even if those three top oil paintings fall into his possession, there is no longer any doubt!
After the transaction was completed, everyone in the antique store looked at Ye Tian. Everyone's eyes were full of expectations, expecting him to solve everyone's doubts.
Ye Tian did not continue to whet everyone's appetite. He first pointed to the landscape oil painting, "Fontainebleau Forest" and began to explain why he bought this oil painting.
"Alphonse, when you introduced this oil painting just now, did you say this? This landscape oil painting shows skilled and sophisticated painting skills and a very reasonable composition, but it is a pity that there is no signature on the painting.
This oil painting looks very similar to the work of the Barbizon School, but it is different from the painting styles of several representative painters of the Barbizon School, so you have identified it as an unknown painter from the 19th century. s work.
The unknown painter who painted this oil painting was probably living in Barbizon at that time, so his painting style was very similar to the Barbizon School, but he did not become famous, so he was unknown in history. Be known! "
"Yes, that's what I said. After receiving this painting, several friends and I carefully identified it. This is the conclusion we came to. Now it seems that it is obviously wrong!"
Alphonse nodded in response, looking slightly ashamed.
Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, then continued:
"One thing you have identified is correct. This oil painting on canvas is indeed very similar to the work of the Barbizon School. Coupled with the age of creation, many experts will classify it as a Barbizon painting. Pie!
In fact, this is not a work of the Barbizon School. The famous painter who created this landscape oil painting is inextricably linked to the Barbizon School. Some people even classify him as a member of the Barbizon School. Pisson School!
The famous painter is none other than one of the most famous landscape painting masters in France in the 19th century. He was the representative figure who promoted France's transition from traditional historical landscape painting to realist landscape painting, Corot! "
Before I finished speaking, the antique store was completely blown up!
"Oh my God! Did I hear it correctly? This is the work of the art master Corot! If this is true, then this oil painting is 100% a top-notch work of art!"
"How is that possible? That's Corot! A master of landscape oil painting in the 19th century, an art master that is almost unrivaled in the field of realist landscape painting!
In the mid-to-late 19th century, Corot's landscape oil painting "Lake Garde" was worth 200,000 francs. It's hard to imagine how much his works are worth now! "
Others were holding their heads and exclaiming, but Alphonse was froze on the spot, completely confused!
