In a blink of an eye, another ten minutes passed.

Ye Tian and the others walked out of an antique shop on the side of the street. Several people were talking and laughing, looking very relaxed.

The owner of the antique shop who sent them out had a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little bit worried and even regretful.

Obviously, this antique shop has not escaped the bad luck of being ransacked by Ye Tian!

However, the owner of the antique shop didn't know how valuable the antique he sold was and whether it was looted. That's why he showed this performance.

As soon as he walked out of the antique shop, Ye Tian raised his eyes and saw a few familiar old friends who were walking towards here quickly.

The visitors were Pandemaris, several antique art appraisal experts and several senior officials from the Acropolis Museum.

The Acropolis Museum is only a few hundred meters away from this flea market, and Pandemaris was the first to receive the news and was the fastest to arrive here.

The Acropolis Museum is also one of the most authoritative institutions in studying Phidias’ sculpture art.

For the statue of Athena, the **** of classical sculpture, Phidias, the Acropolis Museum dreams of owning one, even if it is a fragment of the statue!

Hearing the news that Ye Tian found a fragment of the Phidias statue, Pandemaris and the others could sit still, and immediately left the museum and rushed here.

While talking, these old friends have come close.

Before he could stand firm, Pandemaris couldn't wait to say:

"Steven, I heard that you just bought a fragment of a marble statue at this flea market, which was identified as part of the statue of Athena, the **** of classical sculpture, Phidias.

Could you show us the fragment of that marble statue? If it is really a fragment of Phidias's sculpture, then there is no doubt that this is definitely a great discovery that has caused a sensation in the world! "

When he said this, Pandemaris' voice trembled a little, his eyes were fixed on the metal trolley box in David's hand, and his eyes were not willing to move away for a moment.

The other guys from the Acropolis Museum behaved the same, all staring at the black metal trolley box with extremely hot eyes.

However, Ye Tian smiled and shook his head slightly, and gave a negative answer.

"Pendemaris, your information is very well informed. Yes, I did receive a fragment of a marble statue just now. It is the left forearm of a female sculpture, and it is a classical sculpture.

As for the appraisal conclusions I gave, it is only a statement from one family. Whether or not the fragment of the statue is part of the work of Phidias, the **** of classical sculpture, needs further research to determine.

You can appreciate and appraise the fragment of the statue, but you can't be here. You can also see the environment here. It is not suitable for doing this, and we still have some things.

At eight o'clock in the evening, come to the Coco Mart Hotel. I am going to hold a small appreciation meeting. By then, you can carefully appreciate and identify the broken marble statue.

Maria from the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, several experts in appraising antique art, George and Dimitri, and other professionals will also participate in this appreciation event.

Hearing this, what else can the people of the Acropolis Museum say? Things are not in their hands, they don't have any initiative, they can only listen to Ye Tian.

After pondering for a while, Pandemaris nodded and said:

"It's a good arrangement, Steven. We'll just wait for the small appreciation meeting in the evening to take a good look at the broken marble statue. To be honest, I can't wait to wait, I can't wait for the night to come right away!"

"Don't worry, Pandemaris, it's not a few hours before eight o'clock in the evening. With this time, you can just do your homework."

Ye Tian said with a smile, his expression very relaxed.

Next, he chatted with these old friends for a few more words, then left, walked along the street, and continued to visit this famous flea market.

Looking at Ye Tian's leaving back and watching the many trophies carried by David and the others, these professionals from the Acropolis Museum in Athens couldn't help but sigh with envy.

"It seems that the legend is true. God will always stand with Steven this guy and always take care of him. This guy's luck is so good that he can find any baby. It is maddening to envy!"

"Yeah! Steven is indeed lucky to the extreme and his vision is extremely sharp, but the antique dealers at the flea market in the Acropolis have lost eight lives!

Look, after the crazy looting of Steven, this bastard, this historic flea market is bound to lose its vitality, and in a few years, don't even think about it to slow down! "

Just as these professionals were full of emotion, Ye Tian and the others had walked to an antique booth and began to check the goods on that booth.

Soon, they left the stall that sold antique art, or so-called antique art, and walked to the next stall without taking anything.

About ten minutes later, George, the top collector who had just called, rushed to the flea market with a few appraisal experts and bodyguards, and went to Ye Tian, ​​with an expression of eagerness, as if he was going to a house.

Seeing this old friend, Ye Tian also refused the other party's request to appreciate and appraise the fragment of the marble statue, and repeated what he had just said to Pendemaris.

George could only accept Ye Tian's arrangement, and wait until eight o'clock in the evening to go to the Coco Mart Hotel to admire the fragment of the marble statue at the appreciation party to see if it was part of Phidias' work.

Next, Ye Tian successively received many calls from all over the world, from familiar old friends, from colleagues, from the United States Department of Culture and the Greek Ministry of Culture, and so on.

The purpose of these guys calling is all the same, that is, to ask about the status of the broken marble statue, and to ask whether it is a broken piece of Phidias's work.

Some of them, like George, expressed their willingness to buy before seeing the fragment of the marble statue, and the bids were higher one by one, quite a bit ambition to win.

Ye Tian's response was very simple. He was an old friend in Athens, Greece who had a certain amount of weight. He sent out invitations to participate in the appreciation meeting held tonight.

As for those old friends and colleagues who are not in Athens, Greece, you can enjoy the fragment of the marble statue through the high-definition video screen and participate in this small appreciation event remotely!

At that time, the appraisal conclusions given by many antique art appraisal experts will be heard by all users.

With the calls coming in, the news that this suspected fragment of Phidias's work turned out has caused more and more sensation.

The people who received the news were all waiting for the night to come, and waiting for the small appreciative event destined to start at 8pm.

And the core figure of this matter, Ye Tian, ​​still led a group of subordinates, and continued to frantically sweep the Athens flea market, seemingly in a posture of sweeping the place!

Soon, the time came to around three in the afternoon.

The company employees and security personnel who followed Ye Tian went back to the hotel several times to release the spoils from the raid.

However, the metal trolley box containing the broken pieces of the marble statue was always in David's hands, and he had never left Ye Tian's sight.

In fact, he didn't dare to let this trolley box leave his sight, it was tantamount to providing opportunities for others to take away this treasure of Greece.

While talking, Ye Tian and the others walked into a small antique shop on the side of the street.

Seeing a few of them push the door in, the owner of this antique shop couldn't help laughing, but had to greet Ye Tian and the others.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, welcome, nice to meet you, I am Norris, the owner of this small antique shop"

"Good afternoon, Mr. Norris, I am also very happy to meet you. Your antique shop looks very nice and elegant in style. I like it very much."

Ye Tian said politely with a smile, and shook hands with the antique shop owner.

After some politeness, Norris said nervously:

"I don't know what you want to see? Mr. Steven, I'll introduce to you."

"Let’s just take a look, Norris. Go and receive other guests. If necessary, I will greet you."

With that said, Ye Tian pointed his finger at the other two customers in the store, and nodded lightly at the two, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Okay, Mr. Steven, you feel free to call me if you need it."

Norris nodded in response, then turned around and walked over to the other two guests, his expression still uneasy.

Next, Ye Tian took David and the others, and began to admire the goods displayed in this antique shop.

After a while, he suddenly pointed to a painted pottery bowl on the shelf and asked curiously:

"Mr. Norris, where and when did this painted pottery bowl come from? Judging from the painted patterns above, it seems to be an antique from the late 19th century."

Hearing this, Norris immediately turned his head and looked over.

The moment he saw the painted pottery bowl, he took a breath and relaxed a lot.

"Mr. Steven, you can take a look at the pottery bowl. The painted bowl is indeed from the late nineteenth century. It is a gift from a young Athenian painter to his lover.

The painted pattern on the pottery bowl was hand-painted by the young painter, and there is a Greek love poem written in the bowl, which is "To Anna Doria" by the ancient Greek poetess Sappho."

"Wow! I like Sappho's "To Anna Doria". This old love poem is quite moving. It seems that this is a very romantic gift. Let me enjoy it!"

Ye Tian pretended to say in amazement ~www.novelhall.com~ and stretched out his hand to pick up the set of painted bowls on the shelf and watched it carefully.

However, in his eyes hidden by the pair of sunglasses, a color of surprise flashed quickly.

So there is a painted pottery bowl from the late nineteenth century. It is clearly a striped-inlaid pottery bowl from ancient Greece. It has a history of at least two thousand years and is extremely precious. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is priceless!

The young Athenian painter of the nineteenth century is obviously a passion.

The guy didn't know where he bought such a priceless treasure. In order to please the lover, he painted and wrote poems on the striped pottery bowl, and then gave it to the lover as a gift.

In this way, the true face of this priceless treasure was completely obscured and turned into a very ordinary 19th century painted pottery bowl and a romantic token of love.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian suddenly had the urge to laugh out loud, and he was also full of gratitude for the Romeo of the late nineteenth century. 8)
