Treasure Hunt all over the World - Chapter 2917

Hearing that Ye Tian intends to purchase the black pottery statue of Anubis, the owner of the antique shop, Adel couldn’t help but stared at Ye Tian in surprise, even wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Because this black pottery statue was a fake made by the French in the early nineteenth century, and it was carved by the **** of death Anubis in ancient Egyptian mythology, it is relatively unlucky, and the average collector would not collect it, and the museum would not like it.

In addition, the black pottery statue is relatively rough, and no one likes it. Since the acquisition, it has been kept in the corner of the antique shop and no one cares about it.

In this case, Adel sometimes even wanted to smash this black pottery statue to save his eyes, but because this statue has a history of more than two hundred years, he was reluctant to start, if he could sell it that day!

Because of this, Adel was very surprised when he heard that Ye Tian wanted to buy this statue.

Not only him, but everyone else on the scene was the same. They were a bit surprised and confused about Ye Tian’s decision!

Only David and Matisse, the eyes of these two guys flashed a hint of surprise, fleeting, no one noticed!

They understood that Ye Tian must have his reasons for buying this seemingly worthless statue of Death, and he must be targeted!

This statue of Anubis may hide some secrets, but others can’t see it!

Adel looked at the statue of Anubis, the **** of death again, carefully examined, trying to find something, Ahmed and the others, too, stepped forward to observe the statue carefully.

In the process, Ye Tian put his right hand on the side of the statue and pushed it lightly, but the black pottery statue did not move at all, and he immediately retracted his right hand!

His action seemed nothing special, it looked like he was touching the statue and feeling the smoothness of the glaze, without attracting anyone’s attention.

After observing it carefully for a while, Adel found nothing new, and the black pottery statue of Anubis in front of him remained the same without any change.

Next, the Egyptian antique dealer fell into contemplation, his complexion constantly changing, would he take a sneak peek at Ye Tian’s expression, obviously he was engaged in an ideological struggle.

It’s a pity that Ye Tian’s expression was very calm, and he couldn’t see any abnormality at all.

After a while, Adel finally made a decision, biting his molars and said:

“Mr. Steven, if you really want this statue of Anubis, the ancient Egyptian **** of death, you only need to pay sixty thousand dollars, and this black pottery statue belongs to you!”

After saying this, Adel looked at Ye Tian expectantly, and his eyes were a little nervous.

The rest of the people at the scene are the same, they all looked towards and towards, to see how he responded.

Ye Tian shook his head and said with a smile:

“Sixty thousand dollars? This offer is too high, I can’t accept it, you and I know that this is a fake made by the French, and the manufacturing process is average, it is not worth so much money!

I can give you a maximum of ten thousand dollars, Mr. Adel, if you can accept it, we will trade now for both money and money! If you can’t accept it, it means that this Anubis statue has no chance with me!

This black pottery statue of Anubis comes from Cairo’s “City of the Dead”. It originally stood in front of a tomb. I guess, the price you bought this statue will never exceed $500! ”

Following Ye Tian’s words, Adel’s face suddenly changed.

What Ye Tian said was right. When he bought this statue of Anubis from a few poor people out of town, Adel only spent 3,000 Egyptian pounds, which is less than 200 dollars!

Compared with the original purchase price, 10,000 US dollars is equivalent to more than 50 times, which can be regarded as a windfall, not to mention such an antique cultural relic that no one cares about!

Thinking of this, Adel wanted to nod his head to agree, and come to the pocket for peace!

But, who doesn’t want to make more money, let alone facing a super rich person, there are not many opportunities like this!

Adel pretended to think for a while, then looked at Ye Tian and said:

“I can make a little concession, Mr. Steven, fifty thousand dollars, the price is already very low, after all, this is an antique cultural relic with a history of more than two hundred years!”

“Ten thousand U.S. dollars! Mr. Adel, this is my bid, and one more point will not be added. If this is an Anubis statue from ancient Egypt, I would also pay one million dollars, but it is not! ”

Ye Tian responded with a smile, but his tone was firm, leaving no room for it!

Hearing this, Adel couldn’t help but pause, and his eyes became hesitant.

But he still didn’t give up, and continued to bargain with Ye Tian, ​​lowering the price by ten thousand or five thousand, and always observing Ye Tian’s expression.

Ye Tian bit his bid to death, it was ten thousand dollars, and refused to add any more points, but his face was always full of smiles.

After several rounds of tentative bargaining, Adel also figured it out. If he really wants to sell the Anubis statue today, he can only accept a price of 10,000 US dollars, otherwise the business will fall through!

Deep down, Adel really wanted to earn this ten thousand dollars, and also wanted to get rid of this little-valued statue of Death, which was creepy to look at. This made his position very unstable and lacking confidence!

“Well, Mr. Steven, it was sold for ten thousand dollars. This black pottery statue of Anubis belongs to you.”

Adel said helplessly, and finally accepted Ye Tian’s offer and stretched out his right hand.

“Deal, Mr. Adel, very happy to work with you”

Ye Tian said with a smile, shook hands with Adel, and concluded the deal.

When they shook hands, both of them had bright smiles on their faces.

One is the smile that gets what you want, and the other is the smug smile that makes a small profit, and there is also a bit of pleasure in finally being relieved!

The next thing is simple, both money and goods, signing a transaction contract and so on.

During this period, Ye Tian checked the Anubis statue again and looked at it very seriously.

After a while, the transaction process was completed, and Adel said enthusiastically:

“Mr. Steven, how are you going to transport this Anubis statue? Although it is a black pottery statue, it is heavy and difficult to carry. I heard that you are staying at the Nile Hotel on Tahrir Square. I can arrange it. Someone will take you to the hotel!”

Ye Tian shook his head slightly, and said with a smile:

“I’m not going to take away this statue of Anubis, the **** of death, Mr. Adel, as you just said, this black pottery statue is very heavy and difficult to carry!

When I checked the black pottery statue again just now, I felt its weight and felt that there was something wrong with it. The weight of this black pottery statue was wrong!

Similar to this kind of black pottery statue, in order to prevent the billet from being exploded during firing, it is generally hollow, that is to say, its weight should be much lighter than it looks!

Although the weight of this black pottery statue is lighter than it looks~www.mtlnovel.com~, it is almost the same, which is unreasonable! The strange thing is that this black pottery statue is not fried!

In view of this, I made a bold speculation that the inside of this statue is hollow, yes, but there may be other things hidden inside this statue!

The other things mentioned here are probably a heavier stone, which is heavier than clay, but the difference is not very obvious, and it is easy to be overlooked!

One more thing, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, what was the real purpose of the French forging this statue of Anubis? Was it just to keep the tomb? I don’t think so!

Everyone, guess, did the French make this black pottery statue just to hide something or a secret, and chose the shape of Anubis?

Such a creepy black pottery statue, coupled with the poor manufacturing process, will undoubtedly make people stay away and avoid touching this statue.

The French and chronological numbers engraved on this statue of Anubis and placed it in front of a tomb to guard the tomb may have been deliberately done by the French! To cover people’s eyes and ears!

Of course, this is my subjective conjecture, and it is not necessarily correct. This requires some verification. I plan to smash this statue to verify my conjecture.

If this statue is empty and there are no hidden secrets, I can only admit that I am unlucky and lose ten thousand dollars. Fortunately, this statue is of little value!

If my speculation is correct, and there really is some secret hidden in this statue of Anubis, I might be able to reap a huge surprise. This risk is worth taking! ”

“what!”

There was a cry of exclamation at the scene, and everyone was shocked by Ye Tian’s words!

Looking at Adel again, it was as if he was struck by lightning, and he was stunned in the same place, stunned, full of regret and incredible!
