The call was from Robert, an old friend of Sotheby's.
As for the purpose, you don’t need to think about it, but it must come from two sculptures by Giacometti!
The news that I found two heavy treasures by myself should have spread, and even everyone knows! With so many reporters and professional treasure hunters behind him, what's the secret?
Before answering the phone, Ye Tian knew it in his heart.
"Hello, Robert, why do you think of calling me? What's the matter? I haven't had any craftsmanship to send a photo recently, I am afraid I will disappoint you!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, teasing each other knowingly.
"Good morning, Steven, you extremely lucky fellow, I am not calling for the craftsmanship, but for the two Giacometti sculptures in your hands!"
Robert said excitedly, without a bend, and went straight to the subject!
"Ah! The news spread so quickly! Even you guys in New York know it! What an information age! It's so fast!"
Ye Tian pretended to be surprised, and admitted the existence of the two sculptures.
"The news that you found two Giacomettis has completely spread, and it has already caused a sensation in the collection world. This news is really shocking, it's incredible!
At this moment, the two Giacometti sculptures are definitely the central topic of all collectors. You are the focus of everyone's attention, including our auction house! "
"Hahaha, is it so exaggerated? I'm simply flattered!"
Ye Tian said with a big smile, very proud.
"Man, that's Giacometti! The artist among the artists! It can't be exaggerated! How many people dream of art treasures! It's absolutely crazy!
Tell me about these two sculptures, are you sure it is Giacometti? If it is confirmed, our auction house would like to take this business and auction these two sculptures for you! "
"Of course it is Giacometti. I am very sure about this. A work from the late 1920s and a work from the mid-1930s was brought back from Europe by a veteran of World War II!
I have no opinion on entrusting you with Sotheby’s auction. Even if you don’t contact me, I will contact you later, but I didn’t expect you to move so fast.
I don't want to take a treasure worth tens of millions of dollars and swagger through the 127 corridor. That is too dangerous and will make countless **** go crazy! "
"Awesome! As long as you say it is genuine, you must be right, your appraisal level is the top, we will send people to go to the 127 corridor to appraise and receive!"
"You fly directly to Russell Prince. We will settle there tonight. David will contact you later to discuss the specific matters of the entrusted auction contract.
I will send you the detailed photos of the two sculptures later. You will do a preliminary appraisal first. I believe these photos will bring you huge surprises!
One thing I was surprised, why did you call me? Instead of the head of the sculpture department, have you changed the business department? Is the span a bit big? "
"Hahaha, I know you will ask, the head of the European Contemporary Sculpture Department is currently not in the United States, and they are not familiar with you, so I will contact you.
Those who will meet with you later are the people from the European Contemporary Sculpture Department, as well as appraisal experts and security personnel. After completing the preliminary appraisal, they will leave immediately and they will definitely be there at night! "
After a few more conversations, the two parties ended the call.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Tian immediately turned the lights in the car to the brightest and began to take photos of the two sculptures. Every angle and every detail was taken clearly, without any omissions!
After the photo was taken, he immediately sent it to Robert and also sent a copy to David, just in case!
Then, he started talking to David again, asking him to review the commissioned auction contract and complete various legal procedures.
David didn't plan to come this time. He was going to send an assistant lawyer over to follow Ye Tian throughout the whole process to deal with various legal affairs, so as not to toss back and forth again!
This is what Ye Tian hopes to see most. There is undoubtedly another firewall in front of him.
Twenty minutes later, Robert's call came in again, and they reached a preliminary conclusion.
As expected, the two sculptures are indeed the works of Giacometti, and the dates are consistent with Ye Tian's judgment after preliminary evaluation by Sotheby's sculpture experts.
But to form the final appraisal conclusion, it must be after appraisal of the real object. It is just a matter of time and procedure, and there is no other result at all.
Surprisingly, people in the sculpture department found a photo of one of the sculptures in the relevant literature, which will inevitably make this sculpture more valuable and more attractive!
The convoy has been walking and stopping on Highway 127, heading south.
As before, as long as he passed the courtyard market along the way, Walker would leaned his car and drove slowly past the market stall.
Taking this opportunity, Ye Tian will quickly scan or see through these stalls, not letting go of any treasure, and any chance to make a fortune!
They passed a dozen small courtyard markets and about forty stalls one after another, and found some valuable things, including antiques and artworks.
But the value of these antique artworks is not worth letting Ye Tian take the shot himself.
And the extremely cautious expressions of the stall owners, with green eyes, also let Ye Tian understand that it is definitely not a wise move to buy these low-value things by himself!
As long as they walk to the booth, these stall owners will be extremely cautious!
They are probably ready to ask for wild prices, or are ready to go back at any time. In short, they will never let themselves take advantage of anything.
The previous method of ‘mingxiu the plank road to darken the warehouse’ is also not feasible, the lesson is not far away! These stall owners have already watched the video!
So even though Ye Tian got off the bus many times this way, he just wandered around at will! Did not buy anything, just like a tourist, leaving everyone confused!
During this period, he secretly pointed out the professional treasure hunters who followed him several times, let them taste a bit of sweetness, bought a few antiques that were not discovered by the stall owner or were undervalued, and made a small profit!
After all, I promised to compensate this group of guys.
But his instructions are limited, once per person, without exception! Moreover, the value of the antiques he pointed out is also limited, and the maximum profit is not more than ten thousand dollars!
Even so, those professional treasure hunters are happy to see the eyebrows! They all admired him and made their determination to follow him through the 127 corridor.
For these guys, money is the second issue. What they value more is Ye Tian's sharp vision. Everyone wants to learn something!
In this way, Ye Tian and the others led everyone to stop and go south, not slow!
But what everyone didn't know was that about 10 kilometers behind them, a Ford Raptor was pulling the RV, and was advancing southward along the road they had walked.
This is Bowie's pickup. He and Ye Tian secretly cooperated in the sweeping operation of Corridor 127.
The mobile phone he had used to contact Ye Tian, now and then from time to time, would ring out SMS reminders, sending Ye Tian's latest instructions.
All the most detailed information such as the coordinates, the booth, the specific goods, the quotation interval, etc., will be quickly transmitted via SMS.
As long as Ye Tian fancy, valuable antiques and works of art, not a single one! As for the second-hand goods, they are not in sight at all!
Upon receiving these messages, Bowie will immediately drive there according to GPS instructions, and the positioning is extremely accurate!
Next, it was a crazy sweep.
Bowie will sweep away every yard market, every stall, all hidden and valuable treasures that he passes through, leaving nothing behind!
Knowing that Ye Tian and Bowie are frantically sweeping corridor 127, only Betty is alone!
Along the way, you have to send text messages continuously, use GPS to locate, and you are in the car, you can't avoid Betty at all, and you can't make her think that she is empathetic!
So after sending the text message for the first time, Ye Tian told her about the arrangements for this operation, including all the details, as well as the relationship between himself and Bowie's former colleagues.
After listening to his explanation, Betty was completely stunned!
What a crazy plan! What a meticulous action! 127 All the antique dealers and second-hand dealers in the corridor will be out of luck!
It is entirely conceivable that when this trip to Corridor 127 ends, what will happen to the world's largest courtyard market!
At that time, let's not say that corpses are everywhere, I am afraid it will not be much difference!
With this chilling close cooperation, all the unknown and valuable antiques and artworks along the way will surely fall into the hands of Steven, without exception!
And what those antique dealers and second-hand dealers harvest, apart from a few dollars, I am afraid there are only tears in the sky!
Seeing Ye Tian's message to Bowie again~www.novelhall.com~ Betty couldn't help feeling sighed.
"My dear, I have so much sympathy for the antique dealers and second-hand dealers in the 127 corridor. They are so pitiful! Seeing that you and Bowie are going to be violently mopped up!"
"Hahaha, there is no need to pity them, this is the way it is. If I rely on my eyesight to eat, and my eyesight is sharp, then I can kill the Quartet. As long as I don't violate the law, no one can say anything!"
Ye Tian installed the phone and laughed and said, confident and full of murderousness.
Then he opened the intercom and said:
"Guys, go to Danville to have lunch. I still need these reporter friends to help me!"
