Chapter 2910: African woodcarving

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to around eleven o'clock in the morning.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others had visited seven or eight antique shops of various sizes, and they had gained a lot.
The employees of the company who followed Ye Tian had one or two pieces of antique cultural relics or works of art in their hands. They were put in boxes or bags of varying sizes.
That’s it, because these antique cultural relics and artworks are small in size, light weight, and easy to carry, so Ye Tian bought these antique cultural relics and artworks and handed them to his employees.
He did not buy the antique cultural relics and works of art that were relatively large, heavy, and had a certain collection value and artistic value, but he continued to let them fall asleep.
He left the neglected antique relics and artworks to the rest of the company's employees. Those guys are scattered around the Harley market and can later buy those antiques and artworks.
If they can't succeed, or find that the antique shop owner where the antiques and art are located is very vigilant, they will abandon the purchase to avoid revealing the target!
Next, it's time for those guys Bowie to take action!
Bowie and the others did not come to the Khalili market today. After Ye Tian and the others leave the market, or even leave Cairo, to go to the legendary Goshen, Bowie and the others will start their actions and try to find out and looting the Khalili market.
At that time, everyone's attention was on Ye Tian and the three-party joint exploration team, and no one would doubt the identity of Bowie and the others. It was just convenient for action.
The antique cultural relics and artworks carried by several company employees, the specific origin and value, no one except Ye Tian himself knows, including the owners of the antique shops that were looted.
Ahmed has repeatedly asked about the status and value of these antique cultural relics and works of art, or attacked them sideways, or went straight ahead, but Ye Tian was always vague and did not give a clear answer.
Regarding this situation, Ahmed and the Egyptian antiquities police were helpless, and their teeth were tickling with hatred, but they could only stand by and watch, and there was nothing to be anxious!
Not only them, but the other Egyptians who received the news, as well as the many antique dealers in the Khalili market, all want to know the value of these antique cultural relics and works of art. Why are they attracted by Ye Tian and find a way to collect them?
What makes them even more depressed is that even if they are very careful and stare at Ye Tian's every move with rounded eyes, he will still calculate in the end and try to get these antique cultural relics and works of art at extremely low prices.
Although everyone is at a loss and can't figure out the true value of these antique cultural relics and works of art, everyone is very sure that these antique cultural relics and works of art must be valuable, but they don't know the goods!
If not, Steven, an extremely cunning and greedy guy, would never spend all his energy to acquire these antique relics and works of art!
As time goes by, the news that Ye Tian is frantically looting many antique shops in the Khalili market has quickly spread throughout the market, and even the entire field of antique art collections in Egypt!
Unsurprisingly, his frantic sweep of antiques, cultural relics and artworks immediately caused a commotion and attracted countless attentions.
For a while, all the antique dealers in the Harley market were caught up in the rumors, one by one, fearing that they would become the next target of looting.
Even other antique dealers who do not open a shop in the Harley market feel a chill on their back when they hear the news, and their hair is creepy. God knows when the Steven will patronize his antique shop!
In this slightly tense atmosphere, Ye Tian and the others walked into an antique shop again and continued to explore treasures!
Seeing them and a group of people come in, the faces of the owner and clerk of this antique shop changed and became very ugly. The eyes of several people were full of worry, and even a sense of imminent disaster.
The few tourists who were visiting and shopping in this antique shop had their eyes shining brightly with excitement, and they looked like the excitement is not too big.
As before, Ye Tian greeted the owner of the antique shop in accordance with Mu Silin's etiquette, shook hands with each other, and introduced Ahmed, David and others.
After walking through the procedures on these scenes, the antique shop owner named Ibrahim said bitterly:
"Mr. Steven, I welcome you to my antique shop. It is my honor. I hope you can gain something here, just like you do in the other antique shops.
But I have a request, I hope you can agree, if you buy something in my antique shop, can you explain the true value of that item?
And your appraisal conclusion of the antique cultural relic or artwork and the reason for buying it, to solve my doubts, so that I can also know what I have missed."
Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but quickly glanced at the goods here, that is, the antique cultural relics and artworks displayed in the store, or the so-called antique cultural relics and artworks, as well as modern crafts and tourist souvenirs!
After a while, he smiled and nodded and said:
"No problem, Mr. Ibrahim, if I really find something, after we reach an agreement and complete the transaction, I will explain my findings and give an appraisal conclusion and valuation.
However, there is only one opportunity like this. One is because of the limited time, and the other is because of industry rules. You and I are both insiders, knowing better than anyone that this industry depends on vision to feed! "
When the voice fell, Ibrahim nodded immediately and said:
"No problem, Mr. Steven, if you really pick up the omissions with me, it means my eyesight is not good, I missed my baby, I can't blame anyone, I can only continue to learn, this is a good learning opportunity!
No matter what you find in my antique shop or how many antiques and cultural relics you have purchased, once we reach a deal, I will never regret it. The reason why this antique shop has been passed down for more than 100 years is based on its reputation! "
"Okay, Mr. Ibrahim, let’s say that. No matter what I buy here, it will definitely be profitable for you, otherwise you won’t nod your head. Everyone knows that. !"
With that, Ye Tian shook hands with Ibrahim, which was regarded as a verbal agreement.
After a few more conversations, Ye Tian walked to a shelf next to him, pretending to be serious about the so-called antique cultural relics and artworks on the shelf.
The other people in this antique shop, including the owner and two clerks, as well as the few unrelated tourists, all turned into spectators, standing on the side watching Ye Tian, ​​watching his every move.
Because of different positions, everyone behaves differently.
Some people are nervous, some are excited, some are full of expectations, and some people are worried and worried, and so on!
Ye Tian was very relaxed, wandering in this antique shop, admiring the goods placed on the shelves, full of interest!
While talking, he had come to the third shelf and looked at the things on this shelf and the several African woodcarving works placed in front of the shelf.
When he glanced over the several African wood carvings on the ground, he couldn't help but pause for a while, then squatted down and began to study those African wood carvings with exaggerated shapes and full of freehand style.
The pieces of African wood carvings include characters, such as a man with open mouth and a woman wearing a nose ring; and animals, such as a monkey with a ferocious expression, a lion with an angry beard, etc.
Without exception, the shapes of these African wood carvings are very exaggerated and deformed.
They have no normal shape, no complicated movements, not to mention the composition, but they give people a sense of simplicity, naivety, roughness, and full of memoriality and rhythm, which is eye-catching.
Following Ye Tian's actions, the rest of the people on the scene all looked at the African wood carvings. Everyone was curious and a little surprised!
Everyone at the scene has a certain degree of artistic accomplishment, and they know a little bit about African art. Ibrahim is an expert in the industry with a unique vision.
Everyone can see that the exaggerated African woodcarvings have a certain degree of artistry, but it is estimated that they are not as high as the artistry and value.
Why do such few African woodcarving works whose quality is only above the standard attract the attention of this guy Steven? Is there any hidden secret hidden in it?
Thinking of this, everyone looks at those exaggerated African woodcarvings, and it suddenly feels different!
Of course, this may be caused by psychological factors!
