Chapter 2917 The Secret in the Statue

When he heard that Ye Tian was interested in purchasing this black pottery statue of Anubis, the antique shop owner Adel couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Tian in surprise, and even a little doubted whether he had heard it wrong.

This black pottery statue is a fake made by the French in the early 19th century, and it carved Anubis, the god of death in ancient Egyptian mythology. It is quite unlucky and most collectors will not collect it, and museums do not like it.

In addition, this black pottery statue is roughly made, so no one likes it. Since its acquisition, it has been kept in the corner of the antique store and no one cares about it.

In this case, Adel sometimes even wants to smash the black pottery statue to avoid being obsessed with it, but because this statue has a history of more than 200 years, he is reluctant to take action, what if it can be sold that day!

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

Not only him, but everyone else at the scene was the same. They were a little surprised by Ye Tian's decision and were confused!

Only David and Mattis, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of these two guys, and it was fleeting, and no one noticed it!

They understood that Ye Tian wanted to buy this seemingly worthless statue of the God of Death, and he must be targeted!

This Anubis statue might have some secret hidden, but others can't see it!

Adel looked at the statue of Anubis, the god of death, and carefully examined it, trying to find something. Ahmed and others also came forward to observe the statue carefully.

During this process, Ye Tian put his right hand on the side of the statue and gently pushed it. However, the black pottery statue did not move at all, and he immediately withdrew his right hand!

His movement seemed nothing special. He looked like he was stroking the statue, feeling the smoothness of the glaze, and it did not attract anyone's attention.

After careful observation, Adel made no new discoveries. The black pottery statue of Anubis in front of him was still the same, without any change.

Next, the Egyptian antique dealer fell into deep thought, and her face kept changing. Will he still take a sneak peek at Ye Tian's expression? It is obviously a struggle for thought.

Unfortunately, Ye Tian's expression was very calm and he could not see any abnormality at all.

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

"Mr. Steven, if you really want this statue of Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of death, you only need to pay 60,000 US dollars, and this black pottery statue belongs to you!"

After saying this, Adel looked at Ye Tian with anticipation, with a little nervous look in his eyes.

The rest of the scene were the same, and they all looked at him 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 will pay up to 10,000 US dollars. Mr. Adel, if you can accept it, we will trade now and get the money and money! If you can't accept it, it means that this Anubis statue has no chance to be with me!

This black pottery statue of Anubis comes from Cairo's "Dead City". It originally stood in front of a grave. I guess that the price of your purchase of this statue will never be higher than $500!"

As Ye Tian said this, Adel's face suddenly changed.

Ye Tian was right. When he bought this statue of Anubis from several sluts in other places, Adel spent only 3,000 Egyptian pounds, which was less than 200 US dollars!

Compared with the original acquisition price, 10,000 US dollars is equivalent to more than fifty times, which can be regarded as a fortune from heaven, let alone such an antique cultural relic that no one cares about!

Thinking of this, Adel wanted to nod and agree, and let him take the opportunity to make a living!

But who doesn’t want to make more money? What’s more, you’re facing a super rich man, so there are not many opportunities like this!

Adel thought for a while, then looked at Ye Tian and said:

"I can make a little concession, Mr. Steven, $50,000, the price is already very low. After all, this is an antique artifact with a history of more than 200 years!"

"Ten thousand dollars! Mr. Adel, this is my bid, and no more points will be added. If this is an Anubis statue from ancient Egypt, I would be willing to give out a million dollars, but unfortunately it is not!"

Ye Tian responded with a smile, but his tone was firm and there was no room for anything!

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, ​​reducing the price by 10,000 or 5,000, and observing Ye Tian's expression at all times.

Ye Tian bit his bid to death, only 10,000 US dollars, and refused to add a penny, but his face was always filled with a smile.

After several rounds of tentative bargaining, Adel also figured out that if he really wanted to sell this Anubis statue today, he would only accept a price of 10,000 US dollars, otherwise the business would have failed!

Deep down, Adel wanted to make this ten thousand dollars very much, and wanted to get rid of this statue of death that was not very valuable and was so creepy that it made him look very unstable and lacked confidence!

"Okay, Mr. Steven, the deal was made for 10,000 US dollars. This black pottery statue of Anubis belongs to you."

Adel said helplessly, and finally accepted Ye Tian's offer and extended his right hand.

“Trade, Mr. Adel, I’m glad to work with you”

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

When they shook hands, bright smiles appeared on both of them.

One is the smile that gets what you want, the other is the proud smile that makes a small profit, and it also has a bit of pleasure in finally getting relief!

The next thing is simple, including paying all the money, signing a transaction contract, etc.

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

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

"Mr. Steven, how do you plan to transport this Anubis statue? Although it is a black pottery statue, it is very heavy and difficult to carry. I heard that you are staying at the Nile Hotel in Liberation Square, I can arrange someone to send it to the hotel!"

Ye Tian shook his head gently and said with a smile:

"I am not going to transport this statue of Anubis, the god of death, Mr. Adel, as you said just now, this black pottery statue is very heavy and difficult to carry!

When I checked this 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!

In order to prevent the blanks from being blown up during burning, black pottery statues are generally hollow, which means that their weight should be much lighter than they seem!

Although the weight of this black pottery statue is a little lighter than it looks, it is almost the same, which is unreasonable! Strangely, this black pottery statue has no blast!

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

The other things mentioned here are probably heavier stones, which are a little heavier than clay, but the difference is not very obvious and can easily be ignored!

Another point is, in the early 19th century, what was the real purpose of the French forged this Anubis statue? Is it just to guard the tomb? I don’t think so!

Let's guess whether the French made this black pottery statue in order to hide something or secret, and chose Anubis's shape?

Such a black pottery statue that looks creepy, coupled with the poor manufacturing process, will undoubtedly make people avoid being away from it and avoid contact with this statue.

The French and chronological figures engraved on this Anubis statue and placed it in front of a grave to guard the tomb, perhaps the French did it on purpose to cover up their eyes and ears!

Of course, these are all my subjective speculations, and it is not certain whether they are correct or not. This requires some verification. I plan to break this statue and verify my guess.

If the statue is empty and there is no hidden secret, I can only admit that I am unlucky and lose ten thousand dollars. Fortunately, this statue is not very valuable!

If my guess is correct, there is indeed some secret hidden in this Anubis statue, I might be able to get a huge surprise, and this is a danger worth taking!"

"ah!"

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