Treasure Hunt all over the World.

Chapter 20: "Cowboy"

   The picture frame was demolished very smoothly, and Ye Tian used a screwdriver to pry open the frame back panel.

  The unexpected surprise appears! The plank hides things after all,

   This thing is wrapped in a layer of oiled paper. It is very thin. It is undoubtedly a painting at the scale. The whole body emits red light with many layers of halo, very attractive!

   "Baby, you finally see the sun again!"

   Ye Tian said excitedly, his face already blooming with laughter.

   Then, he carefully reached out his hand to take the baby out and put it on the table.

   And that "Manhattan Hanging Sun" has been abandoned by him.

   The oil paper was uncovered, and a very tense picture immediately appeared in front of my eyes.

   "Two western cowboys are riding horses galloping on the wasteland, waving rope loops in their hands, chasing a group of bison, the picture is extremely open, the cowboy's brave performance is vividly displayed, full of wild beauty!"

   Seeing the content of this painting, and thinking about the age of the work, there is no need to do any textual research. Ye Tian already knows whose work it is.

   "Hahaha, "Cowboy Western"! What the **** is "Cowboy Western" by ‘Charles Marion Russell’! Great!"

   Loud laughter sounded immediately, and the laughter was the same as the content on the screen, it was extremely public! Very excited!

   Charles Marion Russell, a well-known American "cowboy artist", has been painting cowboy and Indian themes all his life. It is very popular and well-known in the United States.

  His paintings may not be appreciated in other countries, but in the United States they are crazily sought after by countless people, especially in the western region, he can be regarded as the most famous local painter.

   In order to commemorate his contribution to western culture, a C.M. Russell Museum was established in Great Falls, Montana to collect more than 2,000 of his paintings, personal belongings and crafts.

   Ye Tian happened to have been to this museum, and he was very impressed. So the moment he saw this painting, he could tell the origin at a glance.

   After getting excited, Ye Tian began to check the details.

   is very well preserved, without any flaws, the words C.M. Russell can be clearly seen in the lower right corner of the canvas.

   This is a perfect cowboy artwork! As long as the market is released, a panic buying boom will start every minute!

   After checking it carefully, Ye Tian carefully re-wrapped the painting in greased paper and put it in the bag.

   Tomorrow, this "Western Cowboy" should go to the auction house or the most famous gallery in New York, and contribute a lot of zero dollars for myself.

  Collection! Ye Tian had never thought of this before, nor did he dare to have such thoughts.

   In such a crowded apartment building, in a rented house, to collect such a precious oil painting, it would be too hard to think of it!

   Instead of putting it here every day, it’s better to change to U.S. dollars to be more secure!

   Next is the time to celebrate.

   "Wow! My buddy is rich!"

   Ye Tian shouted in a low voice excitedly, and even danced in the middle of the room.

   But the celebration was quickly interrupted, which was a bit disappointing!

   "咣咣......"

   There was a knock on the door, it should be pizza.

  ……

   After eating the pizza, Ye Tian immediately turned on his laptop and began to inquire about C.M Russell’s oil painting auction information.

   is very easy to check, this buddy has too many works, there will be related auctions every year, and many of them are special! The Americans are quite buying his oil paintings. Buyers gather in every auction, so there is no need to worry about losing the auction.

   So as long as the latest auction price is found, the size of the painting and the price of Russell’s works in each creative period can be obtained to obtain the reference price closest to the true value.

   Ye Tian got the desired result soon.

   After setting the expected price, you should choose whom to sell to. This is very simple. New York is a city full of art galleries and auction houses.

   Ye Tian’s choice is to sell it to the gallery, so that it is more straightforward and neat, so as not to have more dreams at night!

   It didn't take long for him to reach a preliminary agreement with a famous gallery in Manhattan's SC area, and he arranged to meet at the gallery tomorrow morning to appraise oil paintings and complete the transaction.

   After finishing this, it was almost 8 o'clock in the evening, and Ye Tian cleaned up and went to take a bath.

  "-To-the-Jungle, na……"

   came out of the bathroom, the room was already filled with the roar of the lead singer of the Gun Flower band.

   Someone called.

   slid the screen lock, Jason's excited voice immediately reached his ears.

   "Steven, where are you? Why did no one answer the phone two or three times?"

   Don’t ask, there must be good news!

   Ye Tian smiled and replied:

   "I was at home, I was taking a shower just now, I didn't hear it"

   "No wonder, to tell you the good news, your silver dinner spoon is indeed antique, and it's not small!"

   is of course an antique, I know this better than anyone else! Ye Tianxin said.

   Then he asked excitedly:

   "Awesome! Who did this spoon come from?"

   "Let Benny tell you, he knows better!"

"Ok!"

   Then, Benny's voice came over.

   "Hey, Steven, you are such a lucky guy! It's enviable to meet such a good baby!"

   "Hello, Benny, thank you for your help. Tell me about the origin of this spoon, I can't wait!"

  "This sterling silver table spoon comes from France in the 19th century. It is a high-end custom tableware. It is undoubtedly an antique and is of great value. If it is a complete set of tableware, it is more valuable!

  The workshop that made this set of tableware is very famous. It is the Boyi House of Hermès in France. Their customized tableware is the best in the world and a top luxury item! "

"Wow!"

   Ye Tian exclaimed, his face also showed excitement.

   He understands this luxury brand, and its status in the field of Western tableware is the same as Hermès's status in the fashion industry. It is the top brand.

   But Ye Tian still has some questions.

   "As far as I know, the mark of Boyi Fujia silver products is ‘E.P’, why is this set of tableware with ‘J’? Is it a bit inconsistent?"

   Benny immediately explained with a smile:

  "Yes, ‘E.P’ is their logo, but it’s mass-produced goods, privately made and made by a specific craftsman. There is no such mark. The craftsman’s personal logo is printed on it.

  This is the case with your set of tableware, and its origins are even more extraordinary. It came from the founder of Boyi House, ‘Jean Baptiste Fos’, and the swash J on the handle is his logo.

  Unfortunately, I can’t find out who it is customized for, otherwise the value will be higher. Even so, one thing is very certain. The customizer must be a big man, and ordinary people can't afford the tableware made by him! "

   "Awesome! I didn't expect such a humble set of tableware to hide so much content, it's incredible!"

  Although I knew this was a set of antique tableware for a long time, and it was of great value, Ye Tian was still shocked when he heard its true identity, and directly started with emotion.

   Feeling is not over yet, Benny’s voice came into his ears again.

   "Steven, do you intend to sell this set of antique tableware? When looking for someone to appraise today, an antique dealer took a fancy to this set of rare tableware.

   If you are willing to sell, then I can help contact the other party, I believe he will give a very good price, I will definitely satisfy you! "

What are you waiting for? Of course it is sold! Buddies are not pretending to be forced to eat with customized tableware!

   Ye Tian did not hesitate, and immediately replied:

   "Of course I would like to sell it. I don't have a hobby of collecting tableware. I can turn it into U.S. dollars. That would be great! You can help me to get in touch, and everyone will meet at a time to complete the transaction!"

   "Okay! I'll call, there will be results soon"

   Benny responded excitedly, and then went to call.

   Ye Tian's ears were immediately filled with Jason's envy and excitement.

   "Wow! Dude, you are such a lucky man! You have picked up the baby again, which is incredible! It seems that falling into the water can be favored by God! Should I go to the East River to jump once?"

   "hahaha"

   Ye Tian immediately laughed.

   "Calm down! Calm down! Man, you'd better not think of jumping Donghe, lest you die young!"

   "That's impossible! I've played diving before, Donghe can't trouble me at all!"

   made a couple of jokes, and Ye Tian got back to business.

   "Jason, thank you, if it wasn't for you and Benny for your help, I couldn't figure out the origin of the tableware so quickly and contact the buyer"

   "You don't need to be polite, just a little effort!"

   Although Jason said so, Ye Tian couldn't take it for granted. He immediately said with a serious face:

   "As long as the transaction is completed, in addition to Benny's 10%, I will give you a 5% commission separately to thank you for your help, how about it? Are you satisfied?"

   "What? Steven, is this true? I didn't dream, did I?"

   Jason was so excited that he was going crazy.

   "Of course it's true! I can't keep you busy"

   "Yeah! Great! Steven, you are so generous! You will be my brother from now on! No! Better than my brother, I love you!"

   Jason is completely crazy!

   Between talking and laughing, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Benny came back after the call, took the phone and continued talking with Ye Tian.

   "Steven! I have contacted that antique dealer friend, if you have time, just trade tomorrow, he can't wait to see this set of antique tableware right away"

   Ye Tian was just as eager, and replied without any hesitation:

   "Yes, I'm going to Manhattan tomorrow morning for errands, and everything will be fine from now on, where shall we meet?"

   "Let’s meet at my second-hand shop at noon, so that everyone is convenient. As for the price of antiques, you can talk about it yourself. I won’t give any advice. Just don’t forget my commission!"

   These old beauties! Talking about money is always straight, without any cover and embarrassment!

   Ye Tian smiled and said:

   "Benny, I understand the rules, the commission for private transactions is 10%, right? You are definitely alone!"

   "Exactly, Steven, you are such a gentleman!"

   Benny was very excited, a sum of money fell from the sky and smashed in front of him, can he be upset!

   "That's good! See you tomorrow, Benny!"

"See you!"

   After saying goodbye, Ye Tian hung up the phone.

   put down the phone, he immediately took out the set of antique tableware and began to appreciate it.

   Tomorrow this has nothing to do with me, one less one!

   Then he started to inquire about the prices of related antique tableware, so that he could have a good idea when bargaining with the other party.

   With a clear source, it's easier to check more information!

   Soon he found the price information for a set of classic sterling silver custom tableware also from ‘Jean Baptiste Foss’, which is indeed very expensive and very luxurious!

  Fixed this matter, and it ended perfectly today.

   Tomorrow is the day to count money!
