Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 106 French Official Kiln

Twenty minutes later, everyone came to the door of the seventh warehouse.

The padlock was reimbursed, the warehouse door opened, and Henry said loudly:

"Gentlemen, let's start the tour, don't reiterate the rules, everyone understands, please!"

At the beginning of the visit, the team of treasure diggers started to move.

Ye Tian and Jason stood relatively back, and they moved forward slowly while chatting with several treasure diggers in front and behind.

"Steven, will you clean up those two warehouses immediately after the auction? I really want to see what's inside and see if the furniture is worth $32,000. That's a lot of money!"

Philip in front turned back and asked, with a look of curiosity and a bit of regret in his eyes.

Apparently, Philip was still a little bitter about missing out on two antique furniture warehouses.

Is the furniture in the warehouse worth $32,000? Ye Tian naturally couldn't be more clear,

That is definitely a treasure of two warehouses, let alone 32,000 US dollars, more than a hundred times more!

But he didn't plan to clean up in front of everyone, but planned to bring Sotheby's appraisal experts over directly later, and send the shoot here on the spot, and it's done in one go!

This can save a lot of trouble, and avoid having to find a car for transportation and contact a large vault for storage.

And I'm going to Alaska in two days, so I don't have much energy to toss.

"Philip, I'm going to disappoint you. I'm not going to clean up the warehouse right away. There's an auction at 2 p.m., and I have to rush to attend"

Ye Tian shrugged and explained with a smile.

"You're also at the 2pm auction? Going to that one? I don't want to crash with you again! That's not a pleasant memory"

learn from mistakes!

Philip has already made up his mind to try to avoid Ye Tian in the auction market in the future.

Competing with this bastard didn't take any advantage, and he made a fortune by himself! Who can stand this?

Hearing Philip's question, the nearby treasure diggers immediately pricked up their ears.

Everyone also wants to hear Ye Tian's answer, and then decide on their own next itinerary.

Just like what Philip thought, few people are willing to participate in the same auction with Ye Tian.

This bastard shot too hard! With a sharp vision, strong strength, and bottomless pockets, as long as he takes a fancy to the warehouse, he will basically never fail. Others can only follow the trend and eat farts!

Keep an eye on his bidding? Only a fool would do that!

Are there still few lessons learned from the past? No one dared to think about it anymore, unless they thought they had too many dollars in their pockets and wanted to court their own death!

Ye Tian didn't intend to hide it, why not do it if he could reduce a few opponents for the next auction!

"I'm going to participate in the container auction of Flushing Express Moving Company. This is the first time I've encountered this type of auction. I'm more interested!"

"Fortunately, it doesn't conflict with my plan. I hope you make a fortune in Flushing, which is your Chinese territory."

Philip was obviously relieved, while the other treasure diggers had different expressions.

Maybe everyone had different goals before, but now they are unprecedentedly consistent.

If you don't go to Flushing, you can go anywhere else!

The team kept moving, and soon it was Ye Tian and Jason's turn to check the warehouse.

As soon as he got to the door of the warehouse, Ye Tian immediately found a surprise.

A red light flashed in his eyes, dazzling, beautiful and charming!

Through the intensity of the red light, Ye Tian immediately knew that there were antiques from the 1830s in this warehouse, and there were more than one of them!

On the periphery of the red light, several layers of halos can be seen, showing that these antiques have high artistic value, and must be worth a lot of dollars!

The shiny antique is hidden in the middle of a pile of debris, and there is no information on the surface at all. This is an excellent opportunity to make a move! do not miss it!

Although he was very pleasantly surprised, Ye Tian didn't do a perspective immediately. Instead, he turned on the flashlight and began to check the surface of the warehouse to formulate a bidding strategy.

This is a warehouse for upper-middle-class families, and some things are still very good and have a certain value.

"Come on Jason,

This is your specialty, give me the most accurate valuation advice! "

"Steven, this large-screen LCD TV is about 90% new. It looks like it's in good condition. It's a good brand. If it's working properly, it should sell for $1,200."

Jason began to perform his job duties, evaluating and pricing the second-hand goods in the warehouse, providing reference for Ye Tian to formulate bidding strategies.

"It's a good TV, not dated, it should be worth the price"

Ye Tian nodded and agreed with Jason's assessment.

"And this Tennant carpet cleaning machine, which is about 80% new, should be worth about $1,000, and it's a good deal at a second-hand store for this kind of equipment.

...

The value of the warehouse is basically the same. The valuation is about 7,000 US dollars. Considering the cost of garbage disposal, the highest price of 6,300 US dollars should be considered reasonable. What do you think? "

Jason finished the assessment quickly and began to ask Ye Tian for his opinion.

"This valuation is more reasonable. If you bid, use this price as a reference. I will take a closer look and decide whether to make a bid!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded.

He is very satisfied with Jason's performance today. Jason does have a set of valuations for second-hand goods, and he is worthy of his experience in second-hand stores for several years.

But this is only face value, not enough as a bidding card.

Every treasure digger can see these things, and the valuation will not vary too much, and he has no advantage at all.

Only the hidden value of this warehouse is the real basis for him to let go of the bidding, and it is also the biggest advantage.

What kind of antiques are hidden in that pile of groceries? How much is it worth?

Thinking of this, Ye Tian's eyes under the sunglasses immediately shone brightly, his eyes fixed on the pile of groceries covered with antiques.

The next moment, the perspective is turned on.

Looking through the groceries, I immediately saw the dazzling red light source inside.

The first thing that caught Ye Tian's eyes was a cherry wood box, with a beautiful shape and exquisite workmanship, which was very eye-catching.

This is a piece of modern furniture. It doesn't have any light in itself, but only has a light halo, which shows that it has some artistic value, but it is also very limited!

What emits red light is the thing in the box! What is it baby?

Immediately afterwards, the line of sight crossed again, and the situation in the box was immediately clear.

porcelain! A very beautiful set of exquisite porcelain, full of flowers, is presented in front of you.

But this is not antique Chinese porcelain, but a set of coffee cup sets from Europe in the 19th century.

Seeing the porcelain for the first time, Ye Tian immediately came to a judgment.

Because their appearance is too characteristic, it is impossible to admit mistakes!

The whole set of coffee cups has a uniform color style and the same decorative pattern, so it is definitely a complete set of porcelain.

The main color of the porcelain is blue and gold, dotted with pink vetiver iris, delicate and gorgeous, with exquisite and cumbersome decorations, which is a typical Rococo style work.

This style of porcelain was produced in only one country in the 1830s, France!

At that time, the Rococo style was the style of the French royal family, and the vetiver iris was the national flower of France.

Apparently, the set of coffee cups in front of me came from France in the nineteenth century.

What I don't know now is, which one of the three major porcelain kilns in France came from?

With this question in mind, Ye Tian continued to search for answers on several pieces of porcelain.

Under the perspective, in his eyes, these porcelains have no secrets at all, and all the details are clearly visible, including the traces of previous use.

In an instant, he saw the name of the porcelain kiln on the bottom of the coffee pot, truly confirming the identity of this set of luxurious porcelain.

There is a line of small French cursive writing on the side of the foot of the coffee pot, which is very beautiful.

“Sèvres (Sevres), 1832“

Seeing this line of words, Ye Tian cheered excitedly in his heart, this is undoubtedly the best result!

Saifuer porcelain is also known as the French official kiln!

In 1756, it was designated as a French official kiln by King Louis XV of France. Since then, it has only served nobles, royal families, and wealthy businessmen. It is still a national famous kiln in France, and its annual output is limited to 3,000 pieces.

Saiful porcelain is famous all over the world, and it is called two famous porcelains in Europe together with German Meissen porcelain.

In addition to the prominent official kiln status, Sevres porcelain also has a very important feature, which makes it different from other French porcelains and dominates!

That is its gold plating process!

Louis XV stipulated that, except for the Sevres porcelain factory, no other porcelain factory in France could gild porcelain. As an enterprise owned by the royal family, Sèvres became the only gilded porcelain factory in France.

Because of the very limited production, unique gold-plating process, and world-famous painting level, Sevres porcelain is very popular among European high society.

Especially the British and French royal families are super fans of Sevres porcelain.

Although the coffee cup set in front of you cannot prove whether it comes from the French royal family, there is no doubt that they came from the French official kiln in 1832! This is enough to show their worth!

Moreover, the entire set of porcelain is well preserved without any flaws, and the decorative patterns are also very representative, which makes them even more rare and definitely valuable!

Starting at $500,000!

Ye Tian is very sure about this offer, and may be a bit conservative.

In the antique catalog in his hand, there is an introduction to Sevres porcelain, as well as the auction price at that time.

The quotation of 500,000 yuan for this set of coffee cups is based on the reference catalog.

But that was already the auction price several years ago, and it must have gone up now, maybe it has doubled!

After the visit, Ye Tian and Jason immediately left the warehouse door, stood aside and waited for the auction to officially start.

At this time, Ye Tian had already decided that no matter what, he would take down this warehouse and make a fortune!

But he didn't plan to do it himself, but planned to secretly ask Bowie to bid for the warehouse.

This can effectively distract attention, lest all the good things be taken away by myself, which will not only attract jealousy, but also attract a lot of suspicious eyes, which is not a good thing!

Although it was Bowie who participated in the final competition, he could secretly escort him.

In the event of an unexpected situation, Bowie could not control the situation, and he could intervene at any time to continue bidding to ensure that this set of exquisite porcelain did not fall into the hands of others.

Under this double-insurance bidding strategy, it is absolutely certain to win this warehouse!

After waiting for less than a minute, the visit is all over.

Henry stood back at the door of the warehouse, and the auction will start soon!
