After leaving the seventh stall and walking a few meters forward, Betty finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked in a low voice impatiently:
"Dear, why don't you buy that Kangxi colorful mallet vase? That vase looks beautiful. Is it a fake?"
Ye Tian turned to look at his wife, then smiled and whispered:
"Yes, dear, that is indeed a high-quality fake. It should come from Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, the porcelain capital of China. The level of imitation is very good, and it is almost like the real thing.
But unfortunately, I have seen the prototype of that colorful vase, and I have personally appreciated it. It is a fine piece of porcelain collected in the National Museum of China.
There is an old saying that goes well, you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods. After appreciating the authentic product at the National Expo, and then looking at the fake product, you will immediately be able to tell the difference between the two.
In the European and American markets, there are many high-imitation porcelains of this kind, mainly targeting tourists from China, making them think they have encountered high-quality porcelain that has been lost overseas."
"I see, no wonder you didn't buy the Kangxi colorful mallet bottle. What about the Royal Copenhagen ceramics Flower of Denmark coffee pot? How much are they worth?"
“The Flower of Denmark coffee pot is a true antique porcelain, and it is the first batch of Flower of Denmark royal porcelain produced by the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Factory in 1790.
The first batch of lace arabesque series porcelain produced at that time, also known as the Flower of Denmark, was the first set of formal banquet tableware for Royal Copenhagen and was exclusively for the Danish royal family.
This batch of hand-painted Flower of Denmark porcelain has a history of more than 200 years. Very few of them have spread to the antique art market, and it is almost impossible to see them.
Things are rare but precious. Each of these hand-painted Flowers of Denmark is worth a lot of money. In the current antique market, this set of Flowers of Denmark coffee pot is worth at least three million US dollars! "
“Wow! A set of coffee pots is worth three million dollars, that’s amazing!”
Betty exclaimed in a low voice, her eyes filled with excitement.
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the next stall, and then stopped talking and looked at the goods placed on this stall.
The goods on this stall are relatively mixed, including more than a dozen antique cameras, some antique clocks and pocket watches of different styles, typewriters from decades ago, and even several ancient locks.
Of course, there are also many old imitations mixed in, depending on the buyer's discernment.
In Ye Tian's eyes, although there were many antiques in this stall, the value of these antiques were all average, and they could not move his heart at all.
He quickly glanced at the goods on this stall, and then led Betty forward to another stall a few meters ahead.
At the same time, not far behind them, Bowie had walked over from the other side of the canal, arrived at this half of the antique market, and began to secretly scan the goods.
……
Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was already 11:30 in the morning, almost noon.
At this time, almost everyone in Ye Tian's group was carrying something in their hands, all of which were valuable antiques and artworks, which were Ye Tian's gains.
In Anderson's hand, he even held a huge, semi-old suitcase, which was filled with various valuable antiques and artworks, which were also Ye Tian's trophies.
In the parking lot not far away, one of the Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs was filled with various antique artworks and was guarded by several armed security personnel with live ammunition.
As for Bowie who followed Ye Tian and the others, the harvest was even more amazing. In just a few hours, the boy had already driven back and forth to the hotel several times.
The reason why he returned to the hotel was to store the antique artworks that were swept away. Otherwise, he would have been crushed to death by the staggering amount of harvest.
Seeing what Ye Tian and the others were carrying, people at the Canal Antique Market didn't understand that these American **** were frantically looting this famous antique market!
Although this is the first time for everyone to see this crazy scene, they have heard about it countless times. The same thing has happened before in New York, Paris, London, Nice, and Florence.
It's a pity that although everyone knew that Ye Tian was frantically raiding the canal antique market, they still couldn't understand the value of the things they bought and carried in their hands.
They couldn't think of any effective way to stop Ye Tian. They could only watch him wreaking havoc on the antique market, but they were helpless.
Many antique dealers and stall owners tried to protect themselves by asking for exorbitant prices to avoid being robbed by Ye Tian, and became another unlucky guy who was laughed at by their peers.
However, Ye Tian always has a way to achieve his goal and win the antique artwork that he likes.
Those antique dealers and stall owners can't charge exorbitant prices for every item. If they really dare to do that, they won't even think about doing business here.
You know, the Milan Canal Antique Market only opens once a month. No one wants to miss this opportunity. If you miss it, you will have to wait until the end of next month!
For many antique dealers in this market, it’s all about making money today!
If you don’t do business today, you may have to tighten your belt for the next month!
Because of this, many people, even if they are frightened, have to grit their teeth and persevere, while secretly praying to God to protect themselves from disaster!
Of course, there are also such antique dealers and stallholders in the canal antique market.
In order to avoid being robbed, they simply stopped doing Ye Tian's business.
When Ye Tian comes to their antique shop or stall, they will immediately declare that they will not receive Ye Tian or do his business!
But how did these guys know that there was a Bowie not far behind, who was secretly sweeping up the treasures in this antique market.
For these guys who shut him out, Ye Tian was even more ruthless and showed no mercy at all.
When encountering such antique shops and stalls, he would secretly tell Bowie to pick up all the leaks in these antique shops and stalls without leaving a hair.
While talking, Ye Tian and the others opened the door and walked into a small antique store on the street, and began to admire the various goods displayed in the store.
When Ye Tian and the others walked into the store, the face of the shopkeeper who was currently receiving two tourists suddenly changed and became quite ugly, with a look of panic flashing in his eyes.
For a moment, he really wanted to declare directly that he would not do Ye Tian's business, but in the end he held back and did not say these words.
This shop owner knows in his heart that he is open to do business. If he turns away customers because he is afraid of being missed by higher-level customers, then he should not stay in this business in the future!
In Chinese terms, this is called losing the enemy but not losing the formation, and the necessary scene must still be maintained.
Although this antique store is not large in scale, it is still well-equipped and has quite a lot of things, including antique artworks from the East, as well as Western oil paintings and sculptures.
In addition, there are also some antique artworks from Arabia and North Africa, which are dazzling and worth a visit.
After entering the door, Ye Tian quickly glanced at the situation in the antique store, and then greeted the owner of the antique store with a smile.
"Good morning, buddy, I'm Steven. Nice to meet you. Your antique store looks nice and has a lot of goods on display!"
"Mr. Steven, good morning, I am Edmundo, the owner of this antique shop. I am also very happy to meet you. I have known you for a long time. Welcome to my antique shop"
The antique shop owner forced out a smile, greeted Ye Tian, and extended his right hand to him.
