At noon, Ye Tian and the others had only finished visiting half of the Port Beilu Antique Market. There were still hundreds or thousands of stalls left. They had not had time to go shopping yet, so they could only continue in the afternoon.
At this time, the Portebel Antique Market was already a complete sensation.
Everyone who does business in this antique market has heard that Ye Tian is shopping crazily, buying all kinds of items, and selling them very frequently.
It's a pity that they don't know the value of the items that Ye Tian took into his pocket. Are they valuable antiques and artworks? There’s no way to know if you’ve been cheated!
Unlike when he was at the Saint-Ouan Flea Market in Paris, except for Betty and the others, Ye Tian did not explain the antique art he purchased to anyone else. There was neither a public appraisal nor a valuation!
Make a fortune silently! He lives up to this quote perfectly!
Even if someone asked him what he thought of a certain piece of antique art, he would remain silent and smile without saying a word! Unless it was an antique artwork that was on display, he would simply comment on it.
Although he does not know the value of the antique artworks he purchased, due to his huge reputation in the industry, his experience of never making a mistake, and his experience in the Saint-Ouan antique market in Paris.
After hearing that he was frantically shopping for goods, the antique dealers in Portbell became more cautious.
Every one of them was extremely alert and guarded tightly, fearing that Ye Tian would madly loot them and miss some priceless treasure.
As a result, Ye Tian's frenzied shopping at Porter Bell became more and more difficult, and it took more and more time to get an antique piece of art.
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian immediately reduced the frequency of his actions. If it were not for high-value top-grade antique artworks, he would generally not take action himself, leaving the opportunity to Bowie behind him.
Even if some antique dealers are smart, as soon as Ye Tian and others leave, those antique dealers will suspend their business and start to re-examine the items in their hands. Ye Tian is not worried about missing any treasures.
If it doesn’t work today, there will be tomorrow and next week!
As long as the Portobello Antique Market remains, as long as the antique shops, galleries, and various stalls remain, those treasures cannot escape.
You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder!
Due to limited eyesight and professionalism, treasures that antique dealers have not discovered before may not be able to be discovered now. It is simply impossible to send all the items in hand for appraisal!
After coming out of a shop selling antique cameras, Ye Tian raised his hand and looked at his watch, then smiled and said to the people around him:
“It’s almost time, it’s time to go have lunch. We can also take this opportunity to take a good rest and recharge our batteries, and continue to visit the remaining antique shops, galleries, and various stalls in the afternoon.
There is a restaurant in front, let’s go there to eat. Since time is limited, we will just have something to eat at noon. When we return to the Ritz Hotel in the evening, we will have a celebration banquet to celebrate our return! "
As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed to a restaurant facing the street not far ahead, and then walked over there with Betty.
The other people followed and walked towards the restaurant together, talking and laughing.
While they were talking, the group of them had already walked to the restaurant and chose an outdoor dining table on the street. They each chose their seats and sat down one after another.
The security personnel following them were also sitting at several dining tables, and some were sitting in the open-air dining area of the cafe across the street, very close to here!
As for the London policemen in plain clothes, they could only stand on the roadside not far away, staring here with a depressed expression, wondering how to curse Ye Tian!
Ye Tian and the others had just sat down, and before they had time to ask the waiter to order, a strange voice suddenly came from beside them.
"Excuse me, Mr. Steven, can I ask you a few questions?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and looked over.
The inquirer is a middle-aged white man, sitting at a dining table not far away!
About an hour ago, the two parties met in a gallery in the Portobello Antique Market, and it was a familiar face.
When Ye Tian and the others entered the gallery, the middle-aged man was admiring the paintings. When he saw them walking into the gallery, he and Ye Tian nodded to each other.
In that gallery, Ye Tian received a very good painting, and the white man happened to have admired that painting.
Seeing that it was him asking, Ye Tian instantly understood what this guy wanted to ask.
People who come to the Portobello Antique Market can basically be divided into three categories.
The first type of people have a retro plot, like antiques and art, and come here specifically to hunt for treasures. This includes some artists.
The second type is the literary youth who have beautiful fantasies about love and serious literary and artistic plots, and come here to visit the footprints of the movie "Notting Hill".
There is another kind of people who come here to enjoy delicious food from all over the world.
From this guy's temperament and a series of performances, Ye Tian can basically confirm that this guy is the first type of person. He is an artist living in London and a frequent visitor to the Portobello Antique Market.
"Hello, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. Do you have anything to ask? If I can answer it and it's convenient for me to answer it, I will be very happy to answer your question!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, giving an ambiguous answer.
"Okay, Mr. Steven, you are a top antique art appraisal expert and are known for your sharp eyesight. I have never heard of you looking too far. You can definitely answer my question.
In the gallery just now, the Pop Art painting you bought for five hundred pounds is a work by Richard Hamilton, the father of Pop Art?
When I admired the painting before, I had some suspicion that it was a work by Richard Hamilton in his prime, but I was not sure, so I did not buy the painting.
Just when I was thinking and hesitating secretly, you walked into that gallery and quickly bought the Pop Art painting. There was no use for me to hesitate any longer.
When I left the gallery, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it was a painting by Richard Hamilton. If my guess was correct, it must be a top-notch piece of art worth a lot of money! "
The middle-aged white man said urgently, his eyes full of expectation and a bit of regret.
After saying these words, he immediately stared at Ye Tian, expecting to hear the best answer.
Ye Tian laughed softly, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
You guessed it right, buddy, that is indeed the work of the father of pop art, Richard Hamilton. It is a painting at the peak of his artistic career and is worth at least eight million US dollars!
But can I tell you the answer? That’s no play!
At least until sunset today, except for the few people around me, no one else will want to know the true information about that pop art painting!
When the sun sets and the sweep operation is successfully completed, if you are in a good mood, you may announce today's harvest to stimulate the people in the Porte Bell Antique Market! Also stimulate your British colleagues!
"I'm very sorry, man, I can't reveal the information about that pop art painting at the moment, but what I can tell you is that it is a very nice piece of art and I like it very much!
Because of this, I took action to get that painting. If you insist on knowing more about the painting, then pay more attention to my news. I will announce it to the public after a while."
Ye Tian said with a smile, but did not give a clear answer.
But from his words, the middle-aged white man seemed to hear something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then a look of regret appeared.
After chatting for a few more words, the two parties ended the topic and turned their heads, laughing and chatting with their friends around them while waiting for lunch.
At the same time, in an antique store about sixty or seventy meters away from the restaurant, Bowie opened the store door and walked out, carrying a slightly old wooden box in his hand.
The moment he walked out of the antique store, Bowie looked over and nodded slightly to Ye Tian, his eyes filled with pride.
Ye Tian also nodded slightly, the meaning is self-evident!
