"Good morning, Mr. Steven, welcome to Portbelu Street, welcome to this bookstore in my name, Brown, I'm very happy to meet you"

The bookstore owner came up and greeted him politely, with a little surprised in his eyes.

"Good morning, Mr. Brown, I'm Steven, I'm so happy to meet you, this bookstore looks great and has a bit of a mood, so I came in and visited, I hope you don't mind"

Ye Tian said with a smile, shook hands with the other party and said hello.

"Of course I don't mind. I'm opening the door to do business and welcome every visiting customer, but my store only sells modern books and no valuable antique artworks, which may disappoint you!"

Brown nodded and said, with a faint look of gratitude in his eyes.

He opened a store in the Portbelu Antique Market and must have known many antique merchants, and even had a good relationship. He has long been familiar with Ye Tian's reputation and eyesight, as well as his ruthless methods.

Fortunately, he only manages books, so he doesn't have to worry about being picked up by Ye Tian and robbed them wildly, so he feels a little lucky that he doesn't have to jump to the Thames after this guy left in front of him and regretfully!

As for the others in the Portbelu antique market, he couldn't control it anymore and could only pray for those guys secretly, hoping that they could get good luck and escape today's disaster!

Ye Tian shook his head gently and joked:

"Not necessarily! Mr. Brown, that watercolor looks good. I wonder how you got it? I bought it or gave it to my friend? I suggest you find someone to carefully identify the painting!

If I read it correctly, it should be the work of the famous British painter William Turner, to be precise, his early works. You can compare the "Carnaphth Castle" he painted in 1799.

This painting is earlier than "Carnafon Castle". It is probably a work by William Turner when he was a teenager. In these two paintings, you can still find some similarities, although it is not obvious!"

As he said that, Ye Tian pointed to a landscape painting hanging on the wall on the right side of the bookstore.

It was a watercolor landscape painting with a romantic tendency, which painted the scenery of the suburbs of London in the 18th century. The painting techniques were a little immature, but they had the shadow of a master.

As soon as he walked into this bookstore, Ye Tian looked up and saw the painting and came to an extremely accurate conclusion.

The reason why this painting is so eye-catching is not because of its great artistic value and market value, but because this bookstore only has such an antique artwork!

The red light it emits and the charming halo it possesses are completely different from other items in the bookstore, and are very eye-catching!

Of course, this is in Ye Tian's eyes! In the eyes of others, this painting is no different from those books and furniture.

Although this is a painting by the master of art William Turner, it is just a work from his teenage years old. The style of painting is not yet mature, and this is a watercolor painting, which is not as valuable as there.

What's more, the painting is hung in a bookstore.

Even though Ye Tian likes this watercolor painting and wants to take it into his pocket, there is no possibility of success!

As soon as he opened his mouth and offered to buy this painting, Brown would instantly understand that this watercolor painting was by no means an ordinary painting, and it was likely to be a valuable work of art.

Ye Tian wanted to get this painting unless he used some means that he didn't want to do, such as deception or theft!

For him, there was no need for this, and the value of this painting was not as great as that he could not hesitate to betray his principles and use any means.

"William Turner's watercolor? How is it possible? This is just a painting I bought at the Portbelu Market for fifteen pounds!"

Brown turned his head and looked at the watercolor painting, muttering to himself, completely stunned.

Ye Tian laughed softly, then took Betty to the row of bookshelf next to him, preparing to look at the books displayed there, although they did not have the desire to buy them.

During the process, Ye Tian also whispered to Betty and the others to the famous British painter William Turner.

"William Turner is a famous British romantic landscape painter, watercolor painter and printmaker. He is one of the most famous and most skilled artists in the UK.

He was a representative of British academic painters in the first half of the 19th century. He was famous for his ability to depict the subtle relationship between light and air, especially at depicting the scenes filled with water vapor.

In the history of Western art, William Turner is one of the most outstanding landscape painters. His special contribution is to place landscape paintings on an equally important position, historical paintings and portrait paintings.

William Turner began to learn painting when he was a teenager. When he was fifteen, his watercolor landscape paintings participated in public and had a certain reputation. They were a model of becoming famous at a young age!”

While talking, Ye Tian and the others had already come to the bookshelf and began to appreciate the books displayed on the bookshelf.

As soon as they stood still, Brown rushed over quickly, looking surprised.

When he got closer, he immediately asked in a low voice:

"Put it a pity to bother, Mr. Steven, can I ask about the market value of that watercolor? I am a completely layman and know nothing about the identification of artworks!

You are the top antique art appraisal expert, with a sharp vision and very accurate appraisal, so I would like to ask you to help with the appraisal, this is very important to me!”

Ye Tian turned his head to look at this guy, then looked at the painting of William Turner, then smiled and nodded and said:

"No problem, it's just a simple task, but I also want to make a request, I can help you identify it, but you have to keep it a secret for the time being that I discovered this painting!

I believe you have guessed the reason, and we will continue to visit the Porter Bello antique market. I don’t want to be regarded as a disaster by all the antique dealers in the market. Be careful!

After today, we leave the Portbelu Antique Market, and you can announce the news, or take this painting to appraise, or send it to the auction house!”

Hearing these words, Brown immediately glanced at Ye Tian deeply!

It's over! The Porter Belu antique market will definitely not escape the fate of being robbed crazy today. When the sun sets today, God knows how many antique dealers will cry to death in the toilet!

There must be friends you know, so you can only hope that God will bless them. Don’t be the target of being robbed and become another dead soul of Steven!

"No problem, Mr. Steven, I will keep it a secret for the time being. Until today, when you leave the Porter Bello Antique Market, I will announce the discovery of this painting!"

Brown nodded slightly, his voice pressing down very low, fearing that several other guests in the bookstore would hear it.

Ye Tian glanced at the painting again, and then gave the answer with a smile.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Brown, in my judgment, this watercolor by William Turner should be his work between the ages of sixteen and eighteen, when William Turner was just beginning to emerge.

During that period, William Turner's style of painting had not yet been formed, but had just begun to have romantic colors. Moreover, this was just a watercolor painting, and its value could not be compared with his landscape oil paintings.

In view of this, although this is a masterpiece, the value of this painting is less than that. With the current market conditions, this watercolor should be worth about 100,000 euros!”

"Wow! One hundred thousand euros! I am very satisfied. A common painting of fifteen pounds has turned into a work of art worth one hundred thousand euros in a blink of an eye. It is like a dream, too unreal!

I run a bookstore and I have sold the most expensive set of limited edition books, which are only worth 5,000 pounds and 100,000 euros. For me, it is really a fortune from heaven. I never dared to think about it before!”

Brown exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes full of ecstasy.

Fortunately, this guy has good emotional control ability and doesn’t show too much excitement, otherwise it will be troublesome!

You know, there are still several customers in the bookstore, and they are looking at this place with curiosity.

If they were told that as soon as Ye Tian entered the bookstore, he found a painting by William Turner and spread the news quickly, then Ye Tian would not have thought of buying any antique artwork today!

Of course, this did not prevent him from crazily looting the Porter Bello antique market, but the only one who took the opportunity to buy goods was Bowie, who had already entered the market!

Next, Ye Tian whispered the watercolor painting and the similarities between that watercolor painting and William Turner's other work "Carnafon Castle".

The similarities he pointed out are the best basis for identifying the watercolor landscape painting in front of him!

After hearing his explanation, Brown felt as if he had found a treasure. After remembering these words, the joy in his eyes became increasingly strong and almost overflowing!
