Chapter 18: Rodin's Thinker


   Ye Tianle laughed a few times when he heard the scolding sound coming from behind him.
   deserve it! Do not live by yourself! Who can blame?
  The stall owner also laughed, and their evaluation of Garcia and the others was only idiot.
   As for Ye Tian, ​​who was smiling as proud as stealing a chicken, the stall owner gave an old fox's evaluation.
   Get rid of the flies, it's time to hunt for treasure!
   stopped the laughter, Ye Tian immediately pointed his finger at the determined goal, smiled and said to the stall owner:
   "Hello, can you see this Rodin thinker?"
   The stall owner smiled and nodded in agreement.
   "Please, but be careful when you move. This is a marble sculpture and it is not light."
   "I know, I will be careful"
   Ye Tian responded, stretched out his hands and moved the sculpture to his eyes.
   It is really heavy to start with, and it is full of weight!
   Then Ye Tian began to observe carefully.
   That's right! This is Rodin's thinker, a thinker who is regarded as a symbol of the power to transform the world!
   Of course, this is by no means genuine, and the size is not right.
  The original thinker is hidden in the Louvre and Rodin Museum. It is impossible to appear in the United States. Even the Metropolis exhibits are copies.
   Although it is a copy, it does not mean that it is worthless. As long as it is a masterpiece from a famous artist, it also has extraordinary artistic value.
The white light of the sculpture in front of    shows that it was from about 1920, surrounded by seven or eight layers of halo, indicating that the artistic value is very high, and it must have been made by famous artists.
   There are no major flaws in the appearance of the sculpture, only a few traces of bumps, which do not affect the appearance and value.
   This is not what Ye Tian is most concerned about. What he wants to know most now is who is the author of this sculpture?
   But it is a pity that I turned the sculpture upside down and didn't find even half a word. Obviously this famous artist did not sign it, or because it was a copy, he was unwilling to sign it.
   Seeing this situation, Ye Tian suddenly sighed in his heart.
   There is no signature and special mark, and it is a copy. If there is no documentary record and inheritance sequence, then this sculpture will never sell for a high price, even if it has a lot of artistic value!
   It's no wonder that it was ignored and left in the corner without anyone caring about it. This is inevitable for an unknown copy.
   Although a little disappointed, there are more surprises!
  In the eyes of others, this thinker is really worthless, even a burden.
   But it is very valuable in Ye Tian's eyes. Although it cannot be sold, it could not be better to experiment with eye power!
   After a physical examination, Ye Tian started to inquire the stall owner.
   "What's the price of this sculpture? My family is short of a tasteful sculpture. This is not bad, I want to buy it"
   The stall owner’s eyes lit up, and he finally had a chance to deal with the heavy rubbish.
   He immediately set a price, which is very real.
   "200 US dollars, this is the cost price of marble, and our hard work, is a very reasonable price!"
   Ye Tian was overjoyed at once, but he didn't immediately nod in agreement, but prepared to counter-offer.
   At this moment, Garcia and his friends just passed by the stall and planned to leave here.
   Seeing them, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said loudly:
   "Garcia, are you not going to participate in the bidding this time? I'm going to buy something again, Rodin's Thinker! The famous sculpture! What a pity to miss it! If you bid, I will give it to you!"
   "hahaha"
   Everyone around laughed.
   Then everyone looked at Garcia to see how he responded.
   "Asshole! I don't collect garbage! Especially for such heavy garbage, I'll leave it to you. If you want to appreciate thinkers, I will go to Paris, idiot!"
   Garcia yelled and broke Ye Tian a few more words, and then left with his friends.
   And he still holds today’s harvest in his hands, the pirate king telescope and the Oscar statuette!
   "It's not like Mexican cowboy style! It's so lacklustre!"
   Ye Tian laughed loudly and said again, continuing to stimulate Garcia.
   "Fak Y! Bastard!"
   Garcia let out an angry curse, and at the same time raised his right high, and left without turning his head!
   Several friends around him did the same. They all gestured to Ye Tian with their middle fingers.
   "hahaha"
   There was another burst of laughter.
   After the laughter, the people went away, set up stalls, and went shopping.
   Ye Tian smiled and turned back to continue bargaining with the stall owner.
   "200 dollars is too expensive! This is a copy without the author's signature, it is not worth at all, I can only pay 100 dollars at most, if I can, I will pay to move it now"
   Ye Tian's tone of counter-offer was absolutely decisive, with an expression of withdrawal.
   "OK, 100 dollars, deal!"
   The stall owner nodded and agreed without hesitation.
   The speed is like a hot potato, for fear that Ye Tian will regret it.
   "Deal!"
   Ye Tian smiled and shook hands with the other party and concluded a deal.
   Then he took out a piece of Franklin and handed it to the other party, and put this unknown sculptor's thinker into his bag and turned it into his own experiment.
   Next, it is a hard work.
   greeted the stall owner, and he held the heavy thinker and returned to Jason and their stall, ready to put it here first, and take a taxi to take away when he leaves.
   Seeing Ye Tian holding back such an unknown sculpture, especially when I heard that it was bought for $100, Jason and Miranda were a little bit dumbfounded. This is completely garbage collection, it is a treasure hunt!
   But they didn't say anything, after all, this matter has nothing to do with them.
   After setting up the thinkers and talking for a few words, Ye Tian left the second-hand shop stall and then ransacked the Chelsea Flea Market.
   But the good luck seemed to be taken away by Garcia and the others. After that, he never saw the opportunity to shine. He only picked up a few worthless gadgets in the 1930s and 1940s, and found nothing for the rest.
   As for the shining treasures on the many antique stalls, he can only sigh, and there is no chance of high prices.
   Soon it was around four o'clock in the afternoon, not long since the market closed.
   Most of the stalls have been visited, only a few modern oil painting stalls are left, at the west end of the market, next to Madison Park.
  The stalls are full of modern oil paintings, most of which are the work of students from various art schools in New York, and there are no famous painters.
   As long as the painters with a little fame and potential have long been signed by galleries in New York City all over the city, their works may end up in street flea markets.
   Ye Tian came here with an appreciation mentality, and didn't want to find any world famous paintings here.
   The facts are as he expected. In his eyes, there is no shining work on the painting booth. Even if it is haloed and has a certain artistic value, there are very few works. There is no need to shoot.
   After seeing two painting stalls one after another, he came to the third one.
   walked here, before he even started to look at the oil painting, he saw a familiar figure.
   Downstairs neighbor Betty, a blonde beauty, has just graduated from college and is now an elementary school teacher in Brooklyn.
   At this time she was with her friend, a black pearl, very beautiful, and the two of them were discussing the painting in front of them in a low voice.
   "hey! Betty"
   Ye Tian came over and said hello.
   Hearing the voice of greeting, Betty immediately turned her head and looked over.
   Seeing that it was Ye Tian, ​​a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.
   "Hey! Steven, what a coincidence, you also came to the flea market?"
   "It's a coincidence, I just came to stroll around when I was idle, but I didn't expect to meet you here"
   Ye Tian explained with a smile.
   "Introduce me, my friend and college classmate, Jennifer"
   Betty introduces the black pearl beside her.
   "Hello! I'm Steven, nice to meet you"
   "Hey! I'm Jennifer, I am very glad to meet you"
   shook hands with each other, and the three of them started talking.
   "Betty, you want to buy an oil painting? I just saw you guys discussing this oil painting"
   Ye Tian pointed to the painting in front of him and asked.
   "Yes, I want to buy one for my family, but I haven't decided to buy that one yet. Can you give me some advice?"
   Betty smiled and nodded, and said casually, but she didn't take it seriously. Who knows if Ye Tian understands oil painting!
"Ok!"
   Ye Tian responded, and then began to observe the paintings here.
   In oil painting appreciation, Ye Tian is a pure layman, but he can't hold back his supernatural ability, he can see the artistic value of the paintings!
   Less than ten seconds after Betty’s voice fell, Ye Tian made a judgment and pointed to an impressionist oil painting next to him and said:
   "I think this impressionist oil painting is good, it is very suitable to send to family"
   His tone is very positive, based on the halo of the painting of course.
  In this stall, and even in the surrounding stalls, this is the best modern oil painting.
   "Huh! Really? Let me see"
   Betty glanced suspiciously at the oil painting, the same goes for UU reading www.uukanshu.com Jennifer.
   After their eyes stayed on the painting for a few seconds, they also felt that the painting seemed better, and the two immediately moved over there, preparing to take a closer look.
   Ye Tian was about to leave at this time. The flea market has been completely scanned, and it's time to go back and check the harvest!
   More importantly, he wants to go back and take advantage of today's harvest, study the power of the eyes carefully, and strive to gain full control as soon as possible.
   Thinking of this, he can't even wait.
   "Betty, Jennifer, continue to appreciate, I have something to leave, see you later!"
   "Okay, see you later"
   After saying goodbye, Ye Tian turned around and walked away quickly.
   "Frankly explain, what is the relationship between you and this handsome Chinese guy? Are you a friend of the bed?"
  As soon as Ye Tian left, Jennifer immediately revealed his true shape, and smiled at Betty in a low voice.
   "We are neighbors and have nothing to do with him. He lives upstairs to me and he often meets him. Do you like him? If so, I can ask him for you. As far as I know, he is single now."
   Betty whispered back, and the two beauties suddenly became a group, completely forgetting the oil painting in front of them!
   After returning to the second-hand stall, Ye Tian chatted with Jason and the others, then took the Thinker and took a taxi and left, and went straight back to his Brooklyn home.
   As for the origin of the antique tableware, Benny hasn't given an answer yet, so he can only wait. I believe the answer will be revealed soon.
   Sitting in the taxi, Ye Tian kept looking at the statue next to him. The seven or eight layers of halo on the statue made him full of temptation.
   There is only one question in his mind at this time,
   Can I fully understand the power of the eyes this time? Even completely control this power!
