Chapter 3183 Carthage Civilization Relics

Antique shop.

Ye Tian was admiring a bronze ware with a simple and weird shape, with a very focused expression.

This is a copper-like eagle-beak wine pot with rusty marks on it, slightly damaged, and uneven. It should have been smashed by something.

In places where it has not been rusted, you can vaguely see some exquisite patterns, but there is no text, so it is difficult to judge what antiques it is from.

While Ye Tian was checking the red copper wine pot, the antique shop owner standing beside him also stared at the wine pot with his eyes shining brightly.

This copper wine pot was something he received in the market. It was basically an antique artifact, but I don’t know how valuable it was from that era.

Since receiving this copper wine pot, it has been kept in the antique shop and has always maintained its original appearance without any change.

Occasionally, someone asked about this item, but because the price was not agreed, the broken copper wine pot was never sold and it was pressed into the store.

What the antique shop owner did not expect was that Ye Tian would pick up this red copper wine pot to appreciate it, and he looked so carefully.

This made him think a lot and excited.

Could this broken copper wine pot have another mystery, it is a valuable and even priceless top antique cultural relic?

If that's the case, it would be better!

At the same time, he was also secretly planning.

If Steven asked about the price, what kind of quote should he give him?

The previous quotes were obviously not good! So how much should it increase?

How much more can you sell this antique artifact successfully without being robbed by Steven, a cunning guy? This is really a difficult problem!

Just as he was secretly calculating, Professor Paul, Ye Haiya and others who were also present were also observing the red copper wine pot, staring at Ye Tian's expression changes.

"Steven, can you tell you about this copper wine pot? Is this thing an antique artifact? How valuable is it?"

Ye Haiya asked curiously.

He is not a professional, and he can't understand the red copper wine pot at all. He doesn't understand whether it is an antique cultural relic or a forged so-called antique cultural relic.

Compared to the cultural value of this copper wine pot, he is more concerned about how much this thing is worth and more concerned about its market value.

Professor Paul, a professional, is different, he sees more.

"Steven, this copper wine pot looks a bit strange. The patterns on the wine pot look a bit ancient Greek culture, but they are also slightly slightly Roman.

In ancient Greece and Roman times, bronze products were more popular. Copper wine pots like this were rare, and the shape of this copper wine pot was somewhat African cultural.

It is really rare to mix things from different regions and cultures into an artifact, and it gives people a strange feeling. Could it be that this is a so-called antique artifact that is fabricated?"

Hearing this, the antique shop owner's face immediately changed, a hint of panic and disappointment flashed in his eyes, and a little anger.

"You bastard, no one treats you as a mute if you don't speak. You dare to ruin my good deeds!"

While cursing secretly, the antique shop owner also lowered his psychological expectations.

Ye Haiya was the same, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

But Ye Tian did not answer their questions, but continued to look through the copper wine pot in his hand, and then turned to look at the antique shop owner.

"I would like to ask, how much is the price for this copper wine pot? If the price is right, I want to buy it and study it."

Before he finished speaking, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

Especially the antique shop owner, his eyes were so excited that he was emitting light, and he was almost cheering and celebrating.

However, he did not give a quote immediately, but looked at the copper wine pot again and began to think about it secretly.

It took him a moment to give the offer for this copper wine pot.

"Mr. Steven, the price of this copper wine pot is $120,000. If you can accept this price, this treasure belongs to you."

Hearing this offer, Ye Tian immediately smiled and shook his head.

"The offer is too high. In my opinion, this copper wine pot of unknown origin is not worth that much money. It is just because it has a weird style, so I am a little interested.

I will pay up to 5,000 US dollars. If this price is OK, then I will be willing to buy this copper wine pot. If you can't accept this price, then forget it!"

As he said that, Ye Tian put the red copper wine pot back on the shelf and turned to see a piece of pottery placed next to him.

"ah!"

The antique shop owner exclaimed and was stunned.

He didn't expect Ye Tian to refuse so simply, and the bargaining was cut so hard, and he cut more than 95% of the price at once.

This price is almost the same as the quotes given to other tourists before, only one thousand dollars higher.

Of course, this price is more than ten times higher than the purchase price, and selling it will make a fortune.

But who doesn't want to make more money?

However, the antique shop owner also knew in his heart that this damaged and weird-style red copper wine pot should be difficult to sell at a sky-high price, even if it is an antique cultural relic with a certain history.

The reason is that it is incomplete.

It is more important because it cannot be determined by its origin, and there are no similar artifacts for reference.

Because of this, he offered a quotation of $120,000, instead of one and two million or more!

In a blink of an eye, the antique shop owner woke up.

But he did not give an answer immediately, nor did he adjust the quotation, but stared at Ye Tian, ​​trying to see something!

Unfortunately, he got nothing.

Ye Tian looked like he was fine, and he was admiring other items on the shelves in a flash, as if he had forgotten this red copper wine pot in an instant.

His performance made everyone on the scene a little confused and confused.

At this moment, a white tourist who had been standing next to watch the fun in this antique shop suddenly said loudly:

"I pay six thousand dollars to buy this ancient copper wine pot"

Before he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at the guy, including Ye Tian and the antique shop owner.

As you all know, this guy is here to get a bargain.

Fortunately, the timing was pretty good, and it didn't break the rules, so everyone had nothing to say.

The other guys who also want to get a bargain are somewhat regretful.

You shouldn't hesitate, but someone else took it first!

Ye Tian didn't say much, but just smiled and nodded at the guy, and reached out to make a request gesture, without any intention of bidding.

When the antique shop owner turned around and saw his actions, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

The other guys who were also secretly coveting this red copper wine pot in the antique shop immediately muttered.

They immediately restrained their bidding intentions and prepared to see the situation before talking.

The white tourist who was calling for $6,000 paused for a moment, his eyes somewhat flustered.

However, the antique shop owner did not accept the offer very much, but shook his head.

"Sorry, the offer of $6,000 is too low, I can't accept it."

The white tourist seemed relieved, but still gave a new offer tentatively.

"Since six thousand dollars is not enough, what about eight thousand dollars? This offer is no less, three thousand dollars higher than what Steven gave."

Just like before, the antique shop owner looked at Ye Tian first and did not give an answer immediately.

However, Ye Tian turned his head to look at several West African wood carvings placed on the ground next to him. The owner of the antique shop could not see his expression at all, and naturally he could not know his emotional and psychological changes.

The antique shop owner could only retract his gaze and turned to the white tourist.

After a moment of pause, he said to the tourist:

"Eight thousand dollars are still too low, 13 thousand dollars, which is the lowest price. If you can accept it, you can take this antique artifact!"

However, the white tourist hesitated and did not nod immediately agreed or refused.

This guy also looked at Ye Tian, ​​but where could he see his expression, he could only see his back.

Ye Tian, ​​who was admiring a West African wood carving artwork, had a smile flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting.

For a moment, the antique shop became quiet.

Everyone looked at the white tourist and waited for him to make a decision.

The guy was hesitant and did not make a decision immediately.

It took him a long time to shake his head.

"I'm very sorry, I can't accept this price, and I don't have that much money either."

Obviously, this guy started to give in and didn't want to buy this red copper wine pot.

The so-called lack of money is just an excuse.

“What about the 12,000 dollars?
