Because they had just been to Nicosia and many tourist destinations along the Mediterranean coast, such as Nice and Cannes in France, Ye Tian and the others quickly lost interest in the street scene of Larnaca.
In terms of scenery, Larnaca and Nicosia are similar. Except for the lack of sunny beaches, Nicosia is better than Larnaca in other aspects.
As for famous tourist destinations along the Mediterranean coast such as Nice and Cannes, Larnaca simply cannot compare with them.
For tourists who are visiting the Mediterranean for the first time and traveling to Larnaca, this Mediterranean island town is still very interesting and the scenery is not bad!
But for Ye Tian and others, the scenery here is not very attractive. Coupled with the weather, it is no wonder that they have lost interest in the street scene here.
Although he was not very interested in the street scene here, Ye Tian was very interested in the antique shops and galleries in Larnaca.
The island of Cyprus has a long history. It has been a battleground for military strategists throughout the ages. There are many historical relics on the island. Naturally, there are also many antiques and cultural relics here.
And like many tourist destinations along the Mediterranean coast, many artists came to Cyprus to settle, live and create here, leaving behind many outstanding works of art.
These antique works of art on the island are what Ye Tian is most interested in. Now that he has come to Cyprus, of course he cannot miss the antique shops and galleries here.
After walking around three or four streets in the drizzle, Ye Tian turned his attention to the antique shops and galleries that appeared from time to time on the streets, trying to find something!
When they came to another ancient street, after walking a few steps, they saw a gallery full of flowers and green plants on the street, which was very emotional and artistic.
It can be seen from these vibrant flowers and green plants that the owner of this gallery must be a person who loves life very much.
"Guys, let's go to that gallery and have a look. Maybe there will be surprising discoveries. It's also a change of environment. This wet and cold weather is really uncomfortable!"
Ye Tian said with a smile and pointed to the gallery on the roadside.
David and the others naturally had no objections to his proposal and nodded in agreement.
Then, Ye Tian and the others crossed the street, opened the door and walked into the gallery.
This gallery is small in size, and the paintings on display are basically paintings from various art schools from the late 19th century to the late 20th century, mainly realism and post-impressionism paintings.
When Ye Tian and the others opened the door and entered the gallery, there were no other guests in the gallery. The boss was sitting on a chair, sipping coffee and reading a book, which was very comfortable.
Hearing the sound coming from the direction of the door, the gallery owner immediately looked up.
When he saw that it was Ye Tian and his group who walked into his gallery, he immediately froze on the sofa with a dumbfounded expression, as if he was wondering if he was dazzled.
At the same time, the gallery owner's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly felt that something was wrong.
What happened in Jerusalem two days ago has long been known to the world, and this gallery owner is no exception.
As a gallery owner and an insider in the antique art market, he knows even better than most people.
"Let me go! Why did this **** Steven come to Larnaca and come to my gallery? Is it possible that I will be the next unlucky guy to be robbed like crazy? God bless, that kind of thing is best Don’t happen!”
The gallery owner's dramatic emotional changes were fully reflected on his face, and were all seen by Ye Tian and the others.
Ye Tian turned a blind eye. He quickly glanced at the situation in the gallery, and then greeted the gallery owner with a smile.
“Good morning, man, I’m Steven. I just came to Larnaca this morning. Your gallery is very nice, especially the flowers and green plants at the door. It looks beautiful. I like it very much! ”
With Ye Tian's words, the gallery owner finally came to his senses.
He quickly stood up from the sofa, took a few steps forward and extended his right hand to Ye Tian, saying hello.
"Good morning Mr. Steven, I am Harris, the owner of this gallery, welcome to Larnaca, Cyprus, welcome to my gallery, nice to meet you.
I really didn’t expect you to come to my gallery, you are so brilliant! The moment I just saw you, I even doubted whether I was dazzled by seeing it wrong. I just thought it was impossible! ”
Ye Tian shook hands with the other party, then said with a smile:
"Hello, Mr. Harris, it's nice to meet you too. We were shopping outside just now, and when we walked into this street, we were immediately attracted by the beautiful blooming flowers and green plants at the entrance of the gallery.
It can be seen that you are a person who loves life very much. Your gallery must be very good, so we walked into your gallery to appreciate the art displayed here! ”
Hearing Ye Tian's compliments, Harris couldn't help but feel proud in his eyes, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.
After chatting for a while, Ye Tian introduced David and the others.
After everyone got to know each other and greeted each other, Ye Tian pointed to the paintings displayed in the gallery and said with a smile:
"Harris, can I appreciate these paintings? Especially the numerous realism and post-impressionist paintings here, which are art genres I like very much!"
Hearing this, Harris's eyelids suddenly twitched, and his nerves that had just relaxed a little suddenly tightened, making him even more nervous than before.
He looked at Ye Tianyi deeply, then forced a happy smile and nodded and said:
"Of course you can appreciate these paintings, Steven. These paintings are displayed here just for people to appreciate them. If you like them, it would be great.
But I also have a merciless request. I hope you can be noble and don't loot my place. I have heard about the things that happened in Jerusalem! ”
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Ye Tian and the others all laughed.
When the laughter subsided, Ye Tian said jokingly:
"It's not that exaggerated, Harris, it's just a rumor, and there's no robbery at all! You don't have to worry too much, I still understand the principle of leaving a line in life so that we can meet each other in the future!"
Before he finished speaking, Harris rolled his eyes angrily and complained secretly.
"Be a human being and keep a thin line? Stop talking nonsense. If you really understood this truth, you wouldn't have caused so many human tragedies with your own hands, and you wouldn't be regarded as a scourge by all your peers, and you would be shunned for fear of not being able to do so!"
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it even if he borrowed Harris' courage.
He could only pray secretly, hoping that God would bless him and escape this disaster.
However, more than ten minutes later, a canvas oil painting originally hung on the display wall fell into Ye Tian's hands, and it only cost 1,800 US dollars.
However, Ye Tian was also more generous this time. Before leaving the gallery, he suddenly pointed to a post-impressionist painting on the wall and said:
"Harris, if I read it correctly, it should be a painting by the famous post-impressionist painter Paul Serusier, with a market value of about 1.2 million euros.
I don’t know if you understand the value of that painting, so I would like to remind you so that you don’t get away with it. Well, it’s time for us to leave. Nice to meet you. See you later! ”
After finishing speaking, Ye Tian waved to Harris, and then walked towards the gallery door with David and the others, carrying the painting he had just harvested in his hand.
At this time, Harris was completely overwhelmed by the surge of ecstasy, and his whole person had fallen into a sluggish state. He even temporarily lost the ability to speak and could not even utter a word.
At the same time, he also felt a sharp pain.
He knew very well that since that guy Steven could recognize Paul Serusier's paintings at a glance and give an accurate valuation, then there was no need to think about it. The **** before had been acting all along!
The painting that that guy Steven bought for $1,800 must be worth more, and is most likely a priceless top-notch piece of art!
There is no doubt that I was robbed by that greedy **** Steven and became the protagonist of another tragedy!
But this crazy looting made me both painful and happy! Emotions can be like a roller coaster ride, up and down, and can drive you completely crazy.
It wasn't until Ye Tian and the others walked out of the gallery and the sound of the door closing was heard that Harris, who had fallen into a sluggish state, woke up.
Immediately afterwards, a painful cry came from the gallery.
"Stephen, can you tell me which art master is that Pre-Raphaelite painting, and how much is it worth? To clear up my confusion, otherwise I will stay up all night! ”
Ye Tian did not respond to gallery owner Harris’s loud inquiry, or he did not respond openly and loudly.
He just smiled softly, and then whispered to David and others beside him:
"This Pre-Raphaelite painting is the peak painting of Hunter, a famous British painter in the 19th century and one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite School. The market value is about US$15 million!"
Hearing his words, David and the others immediately exclaimed in low voices.
"Wow! 15 million US dollars, obviously a top-notch piece of art!"
