Treasure Hunt all over the World.

　　 "OK! Let's start!"

　　 Ye Tian responded with a smile.

　　 then reached for the backpack and took out the prepared envelope.

　　"There are hundreds of photographs, and it is impossible to identify them all. This time I only brought six of them, which I think are quite good and representative.

　　 I took photos of the rest of the works, which can be displayed by projection. There is no problem with the authenticity of the works. You are all experts, and you can tell them at a glance"

　　 "Okay! This is a good arrangement, I will ask someone to prepare for the projection"

　　 Catherine said appreciatively, and then started calling the technicians.

　　 After the call was over, Ye Tian continued.

　　 He took out the photographs in several envelopes one after another, sorted them into categories, and pushed them to a few people.

　　" These two photos were taken during Joel's trip to Europe in 1967. The shooting time and location are shown on the back. They should be at the same time as the 40 works of'European Trip: Photography in Car'.

　　 This is the World Trade Building site after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Joel is the only photographer who can freely enter and exit the site, so these works are unique and have extraordinary memorial value!

　　 These last two are American rural landscapes taken in 1982. This should be the same time as the masterpieces in the "Unusual Residence" photo collection, or they are in the photo collection.

　　 "Wow! In such a short time, you know so thoroughly! Unbelievable!"

　　 Catherine opened her mouth wide and said in awe.

　　 The eyes of the others also flashed with admiration, this is also a professional in front of you!

　　 "Hehehe, now is the Internet age, all information can be found online, not to mention the work of a master photographer like Joel!"

　　 Ye Tian chuckled and gestured with the phone.

　　 "That's right! There are no secrets in this world!"

　　 Catherine sighed with emotion, and then joined the two experts and Harold enthusiastically to appraise the six photos.

　　 Ye Tian sat back in his seat with a smile on his face, waiting for the result in his spare time.

During 　　, the technicians walked into the reception room and connected Ye Tian's mobile phone to the projector, so that the rest of the photographs could be displayed later.

　　Because it is a photographic work, it has Joel’s signature and phone endorsement, so the identification is very fast, almost only need to make sure that they are not copies! ,

　　 Within five minutes, the two appraisal experts gave a consistent appraisal conclusion.

“These six photographic works are truly and undoubtedly from Mr. Joel Meyerowitz. Regardless of the shooting style, the author’s signature, and the relevant information on the back, there is no problem. They are six outstanding photographic works of art. Fei, worth collecting!"

"awesome!"

　　Although I knew it must be this conclusion, Ye Tian still cheered excitedly when he heard it with his own ears.

　　 "Congratulations, Steven, your luck is so lucky! Show the rest of the photography works, we can't wait!"

　　 Catherine said with envy.

　　 "Okay, please enjoy these masterpieces of photographic art. Since I took the photos with my mobile phone, the pictures may not be as good as I expected. Please understand."

　　 said, Ye Tian began to show these photos on the projection.

　　 An hour passed quickly, except for the 25 photos that I planned to keep in my collection, the remaining 60 to 70 photos were all displayed.

　　 through the details of each work, especially the remarks and signatures on the back.

　　 Catherine and the two appraisal experts are almost certain that all the photographs shown are from Joel Meyerowitz’s masterpieces.

　　 The reason why we can't draw conclusions at present is only because we didn't see the actual object. This is just a procedural issue and does not affect the progress of other things.

　　 After the identification, it's time to video with Joel in France.

　　……

　　 Ye Tian was very curious about Joel's wish to buy back the collection.

　　According to his estimation, nine out of ten is one of the two cameras. For Joel, he has almost everything in his photographs. Even if he doesn't, he will be able to go out with the camera at his fingertips!

　　The technicians entered the house again, quickly set up computers and cameras, and connected them to the projection screen to facilitate face-to-face communication.

　　 Then, the agent Harold called Joel and the video call started.

　　 While the projection screen flickered, Joel appeared in front of him.

　　 This is a bald old man with piercing eyes and strong spirits. He looks like he is in his sixties. He wears home clothes and is very casual, but he has an extraordinary temperament. There is a rich artistic style between his eyes and eyes!

　　 "Good afternoon, I’m Joel Meyerowitz. It’s already night at my home in France"

　　 Joel smiled and greeted everyone.

　　 Then, everyone in the reception room greeted him one after another.

　　Only Ye Tian was a stranger at the scene, so he took the initiative to introduce himself.

　　 Afterwards, Joel immediately got into the subject, obviously in a very urgent mood.

　　 "Steven, you are so lucky! I actually photographed my warehouse in Hell's Kitchen. There are a lot of good things there, which will definitely make you a fortune"

　　 "Hehehe, luck is indeed good! Here I want to thank you for leaving this warehouse, it seems that you still love New York very much!"

　　 Ye Tian smiled and replied, making a small joke.

　　 "Hahaha, of course, I am a New Yorker! Love the Big Apple City forever!"

　　 Joel responded with a smile, and then continued:

　　 "I have forgotten the warehouse in Hell's Kitchen. If you didn't find the gallery and then Catherine called me, I'm afraid I would never remember it.

　　Steven, since the warehouse was photographed by you, the contents in it belong to you, but I want to ask one more question, what do you plan to do with the collection in the warehouse? "

　　 Ye Tian didn't intend to conceal it, but directly said his thoughts.

　　 "You know what's inside, so I won't list them. I'm going to collect two antique cameras. That's Leica, everyone loves it! A treasure that can't be met!

　　 I will also collect some of the photography works, but most of them are ready to be sold. This is the purpose of coming to "House & Voss". After all, I am a treasure hunter and this is business! "

　　 There was a hint of shock in the eyes of several people on the scene, and there was endless envy!

　　 This kid has not only got so many extraordinary photographs, but he also has more precious antique Leicas. He is simply invincible!

　　 Joel was silent for a few seconds, a flash of memory flashed across his face, and then continued:

　　 "You are right, everyone loves Leica, that is the brightest star in the camera kingdom, it is normal for you to want to collect them, human nature!

　　 But if I want to repurchase that Leica II (D), would you like to sell it? That camera was given to me by a dead friend, and it represents a friendship and memory! "

　　 At the same time, Joel's eyes again showed the color of memories, and even a little bit of grief! It can be seen that there are many stories in this camera!

　　 As expected! This old man is here for Leica!

　　 Ye Tian is not ready to refuse, of course he can't let it go if he has money!

　　 Besides, Joel only repurchases one after all, and he can keep one to play with, so I can’t bear to think about it!

　　 And the repurchased is Leica II (D), which is no problem! In contrast, Ye Tian values ​​Leica I (A) more

　　 Of course, the premise of the transaction is that the price satisfies yourself, otherwise even if you are the previous owner, that will not work!

　　 After pondering for a moment, Ye Tian immediately said bluntly:

　　 "Joel, I am a businessman, so the door to the sale is open. I need to listen to your quotation. If the price is right, then the transaction can proceed."

　　 Joel suddenly showed a gratified smile on his face, and then said impatiently:

　　 "Of course, this is a matter of reason, and it is also the rule of doing business. I have no objection, and I also want to thank you for agreeing to my repurchase request so that I can take back the bearer of this friendship.

　　 This camera is combined with a custom camera bag. Regardless of other factors, the current market price should be around US$300,000. If it is shot, it may be a bit higher, but it will also exceed 400,000.

　　 In addition, this is the camera I have used. It has a somewhat celebrity effect and can add a lot of value. It is a gift from a friend, which contains a feeling of affection, and I am willing to pay more to recover it.

　　Combining these factors, I am going to bid 800,000 US dollars for this camera and camera bag, do you think it is okay? Believe that the price is not low, even if it is auctioned, this price will not be sold! "

　　 Hearing this quotation, Ye Tian suddenly felt his heartbeat speed up, and almost nodded in excitement.

　　 This old man is quite generous! Based on Ye Tian's own valuation, the two things combined were only 600,000 U.S. dollars, including the commission to the auction company.

　　 Of course, he didn't expect such a story to be included in the camera.

Sell! Fools don't sell it!

　　 The rest of the people on the scene have been stunned.

　　 They didn't expect that a Leica II (D) plus a camera bag could sell for 800,000 US dollars. This is not a Leica Type 0, which is an antique camera that can sell for 2.6 million euros.

　　 But thinking about Joel’s explanation, they understand it too, it’s hard to buy if you have money!

　　 Now they look at Ye Tian, ​​the envy in their eyes is even more intense~www.ltnovel.com~ They almost turn into jealousy, here is a treasure hunt! Robbing money is not so exaggerated!

　　 Ye Tian pretended to ponder for a few seconds, and then nodded in agreement.

　　 "Okay, Joel, I am willing to transfer, to satisfy your memorial to your friend!"

　　 When he heard this answer, Jolton laughed, and he seemed to be ten years younger.

　　 "Awesome! Steven, thank you very much, thank you for your accomplishment!"

　　 "You're welcome, Joel, this is the best of both worlds, isn't it?"

　　 Ye Tian suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said a few polite words.

　　 "Yes! The best of both worlds! Steven, you are such a lucky kid! If you have the opportunity to come to Cannes, France, welcome to my house."

　　 "Okay, I will definitely enjoy the Mediterranean sun, that is life!"

　　 Then everyone started talking about those photography works.

　　 Joel affirmed Ye Tian's judgment, making those photographs more valuable immediately, and then ended the call.

　　 For the Leica repurchase, Joel entrusted his broker Harold to take over. Ye Tian only needs to bring the camera to complete the transaction and earn a lot of dollars!

　　 The matter was basically settled, and then Ye Tian began to talk to Catherine about the transaction of photographic works.

　　 After some bargaining, the two parties finally reached an agreement on the price of 3 million US dollars.

　　 Ye Tian packaged up 60 or 70 photographs for sale and sold them to the ‘House & Worth’ Gallery.

　　The following things are simple, just pick up the goods!

After another round trip, when he left the'House & Voss' gallery for the second time at five o'clock, most of the collections in Ye Tian's personal treasury were missing, but there were two more checks in his pocket, one for 3 million and one for 800 000!
