Chapter 1399 Making Fun of People
"Mr. Steven, good afternoon. Welcome to Montmartre. Nice to meet you. The price of this impressionist oil painting is 500,000 euros. If you can pay this price, it will belong to you!"
The Hispanic stall owner said with a smile, he couldn't hide the ecstasy in his eyes, and the attack was extremely ruthless!
Half a million euros? Are you crazy about money? This is treating my buddy like a mallet, ready to kill him!
Ye Tian complained inwardly, almost laughing out of anger.
However, there was an expression of surprise on his face, as if he had discovered a new continent!
"Wow! An Impressionist painting worth half a million euros must be the work of a famous Impressionist painter, otherwise there would not be such a high price.
But forgive me, I really can't see that this is the work of the famous Impressionist painter, and I can't see the basis for this oil painting to be worth 500,000 euros!
Dude, could you tell me, please, which famous artist this oil painting is? What's so good about it? Open my eyes too!
If it's really the work of some famous impressionist painter, and it's worth half a million euros, then I'd be more than happy to take it, money is no object! "
Hearing these words, the Hispanic stall owner was immediately dumbfounded, and stared at Ye Tian dumbfounded, not knowing what to do for a moment!
He just said something nonsense, to see Ye Tian's reaction, and respond according to Ye Tian's reaction!
But he never expected that Ye Tian would give such a reaction!
Anyone who is not an idiot can hear the irony in Ye Tian's words. If he continues to make up nonsense to deceive people, he will really be an idiot!
Who doesn't know, the smirking bastard in front of him has extremely sharp eyesight, and he has never looked past him before. If he wants to deceive this bastard, he really wants to go blind!
"Hahaha"
Betty and the others couldn't bear it any longer, and they all burst into laughter, all of them were overjoyed!
Hearing these laughters, the stall owner's face suddenly became redder and more embarrassing!
But after all, this guy is an old fritter that has been in the antique market for many years.
His face has long since become invulnerable!
In a blink of an eye, he adjusted his emotions, and his face quickly returned to normal.
Immediately afterwards, the guy smiled and said:
"Of course, 500,000 euros is just my asking price. Whether you accept it or not is up to you, Steven. You are a famous expert in antique art appraisal. I want to hear your appraisal opinion. What do you think of this oil painting?"
In just a few sentences, this guy kicked the ball back very skillfully, obviously a veteran.
Ye Tian looked at this Hispanic buddy, and then pretended to look seriously at the impressionist oil painting, then smiled and said:
"Honestly, buddy, I really don't see that this painting is the work of that famous Impressionist painter, and I don't see anything about it that's worth half a million euros, maybe it's my stupidity!
The reason why I asked the price was that I wanted to buy this painting, bring it back to New York and hang it in the company bathroom, so as to add a bit of artistic atmosphere to the bathroom, so that the employees under me can feel the beauty of art all the time! "
Before the words fell, the scene was already boiling.
"Hahaha"
Betty and the others burst out laughing, each of them was laughing, tears were about to flow out!
The Hispanic buddy was stunned for a moment, and then laughed angrily, his face full of helplessness!
Before he could give a response, Ye Tian continued to say:
"As far as this Impressionist painting is concerned, I really can't offer a sky-high price of 500,000 euros. Others may be able to. I can only offer 250 euros at most. I wonder if you can accept it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a few Chinese tourists watching the excitement immediately laughed.
"Hahaha"
While laughing, several compatriots secretly gave Ye Tian a thumbs up!
They are also Chinese, of course they understand what "two hundred and five" means, can't they find it funny?
Hearing the burst of laughter, many people around turned their heads to look at this side. Some good-looking and lively guys even stepped over here, with gossip flashing in their eyes!
"Two hundred and fifty euros? Did I hear you right?"
The Hispanic dude was stupid again, doubting his ears.
"You heard me right, buddy, it's two hundred and fifty euros! In my opinion, this impressionist painting is worth only so much, and it can't be higher!"
Ye Tian smiled lightly and nodded, speaking with a very certain tone.
"Impossible, the price is too low, I can never accept it!"
The Hispanic stall owner shook his head like a rattle, and rejected Ye Tian's offer, showing signs of becoming angry from embarrassment.
"Since you can't accept the price, forget it. It seems that this impressionist painting is not for me. Let me look at other things. How much is the Cubist painting next to it?"
Ye Tian answered very simply, then pointed to another oil painting on the booth, continued his performance, and approached the real goal step by step.
The stall owner turned his head to look carefully at the cubist oil painting, then turned back to look at Ye Tian, and quoted the price with some hesitation.
"Steven, the price of that cubist style oil painting is two hundred thousand euros, if you can accept this price, that oil painting belongs to you!"
This buddy restrained himself a little, and his asking price was not as ruthless as before, but he still fantasized about killing Ye Tian with a knife and making a lot of money from him!
After quoting the price, this buddy stared at Ye Tian closely, his eyes full of anticipation, expecting to hear the most pleasant answer!
Ye Tian shook his head, jokingly said:
"It seems that I have come to the top gallery in the world. The paintings here are all top-notch works of art, and the prices are really astonishing, either 500,000 euros or 200,000 euros!
Even the well-known Gagosian Gallery in New York may not have such a high quality of artworks displayed. Hill Square is indeed a holy place for art, with masterpieces everywhere. Today is really an eye-opener!
I'm very sorry, buddy, maybe my appreciation is really limited. For this cubist style painting, I can only offer three hundred euros at most, and the price of two hundred thousand euros is obviously impossible! "
"Hahaha"
There was laughter again at the scene, Betty and the others all laughed, as did many onlookers.
At this point in the matter, no matter how stupid the Hispanic buddy is, he can see clearly at this moment that wanting to take advantage of the bastard in front of him is simply wishful thinking and there is no possibility!
The bastard Steven has always been the only one who takes advantage of others, and no one can take advantage of him unless he doesn't do business with him!
The Hispanic buddy who claimed to know the items on the stall very well, but he didn't want to let go of this open business, so he didn't immediately reject Ye Tian and shut him out!
In fact, even if this Hispanic buddy refuses to do Ye Tian's business, Ye Tian is not worried that his favorite things will be left behind, and he will miss some valuable antique works of art!
For no other reason, Bowie, the Texas cowboy, also came to Montmartre, standing in front of another painting booth more than ten meters away, pretending to admire several paintings placed there!
If Ye Tian can't get the antique artwork he likes clearly, then it's up to Bowie, a dark guy, to make a move, and he can achieve his goal successfully, without missing any treasure!
The Hispanic stall owner rejected Ye Tian's bid with an embarrassed expression on his face. There were too many onlookers, even the old fritters were somewhat embarrassed!
Without hesitation, Ye Tian pointed to another painting and continued to inquire.
"How much is that realistic landscape painting? It can be seen that the painting is a panorama of Paris. The perspective should be overlooking the Sacred Heart Church. You can see the Eiffel Tower and the Pompidou Center!"
The stall owner turned his head to look at the oil painting leaning on the tree, and then quoted the price.
"Five thousand euros, Steven, this landscape painting is indeed overlooking the Sacred Heart Church, the painting is not bad, it is worth the price!"
After the two previous confrontations, this buddy seemed to finally understand who he was facing, and he no longer extorted a lot of money, and the asking price became much more reasonable, gradually getting closer to reality!
Furthermore, the contents of that landscape painting also limited his possibility of extortionate prices.
You must know that the Pompidou Center was built only a few years ago. If you say that the landscape painting was painted by a famous painter in the 19th or early 20th century, you are lying with your eyes open!
"Man, five thousand euros is still a bit expensive, if you can accept three thousand euros, then I'll take this realistic landscape painting!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and gave his offer.
The Hispanic stall owner was silent, and began to consider the trade-offs, and turned his head to look at the landscape oil painting again.
After a while, he shook his head slightly and said:
"Three thousand euros is too low, Steven, I can only lower it to three thousand eight hundred euros at most, I wonder if you can accept this price? If not, then you can look at other things!"
"To be honest, this price is not far from the actual value, but I still can't accept it. I can only pay 3,000 euros at most! It would be a pity if I can't make a deal!"
Ye Tian still insisted on his offer and did not intend to give in.
While saying these words, he had already looked at the real target.
After acting for so long, the foreshadowing has been done enough, and it's time to act!
