Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Pirate King's Telescope

The stall in front of you belongs to a second-hand store, and there are many good things!

Seeing where these things are placed and how much the stall owner attaches to them, Ye Tian immediately understood that this is not the place to pick up treasures by himself.

But he did not leave here, but looked at something on the stall with great interest, and was tempted to buy it.

This is an antique and old monocular, brass texture, exquisite craftsmanship, every detail is very delicate, the position of the hand is shiny and shiny, as if it has been used for a long time.

The telescope looks a bit of historical vicissitudes, much like an antique from the 17th century.

And on the elegant carved mirror tube, there is also a pirate skull flag engraved with the pattern of two crossed sabers and a hideous skull.

There is a line of beautiful swash English under the banner of Skull, which says "King of Pirates, Henry Morgan"

Henry Morgan was the most famous British pirate in the seventeenth century, and he was not only the captain of the pirate, but later became the governor of Jamaica, the most accomplished man among the pirates! The true king of pirates!

Such a treasure, why is it antique and old?

Is very simple! It doesn't have any light in Ye Tian's eyes, let alone the yellow light of antiques in the 17th century. It is indeed a modern product!

Ye Tian is interested in it because of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The pirate captain standing on the bow of the ship holding a single-lens telescope looking at the sea, every time he is excited about it, and it makes him yearn for the feeling of crossing the ocean.

Seeing this exquisitely crafted pirate handicraft at the moment, Ye Tian was immediately itchy, and of course he was reluctant to miss it.

He stood and admired two eyes, and he started talking to the stall owner.

"Hello, can you look at this telescope?"

The stall owner smiled and nodded.

"Yes, please feel free to watch"

"Ok"

Ye Tian picked up the binoculars and began to look carefully.

is very heavy to start, obviously the materials are sufficient, don't look at handicrafts, the price is not too low.

Then is to check the details.

The binoculars have no flaws on the outside and they are made perfectly. Almost all the details have been taken into consideration. Even to be more realistic, the craftsmanship imitates the old methods!

Such a sophisticated handicraft, it is difficult for people who do not understand the history of pirates and have no research on antiques to see its true age.

Ye Tian is the same. If it were not for supernatural powers, he would definitely think it was an antique of the 17th century.

Then he tried the telescopic performance of the trial tube again. It was smooth and without any lag. Finally, he tested the function.

Ye Tian also experienced the feeling of a pirate. He learned the posture of Captain in the movie Pirates of Caribbean, pulled the three-section lens tube to the maximum, held it in front of his eyes with both hands, and began to observe the distant scenery.

It has a clear vision and a long distance. It is a very good toy.

After everything was checked and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, Ye Tian put the binoculars away, put them back in place, and began to inquire with the stall owner.

"Hello, this telescope is very good. What price is it?"

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the stall owner, and immediately smiled and offered the price.

"This is a 17th century pirate single-scope, brass texture, well-made, very collectible, the price is 300 US dollars, pay a few Franklins, you can experience the wonderful taste of a pirate captain!"

"Wow!"

Ye Tian exclaimed, his eyes widened, and he looked at the stall owner in disbelief.

It's really black to start! This is taking my buddies as a fool!

This is not a professional binoculars, just a handicraft, how dare to speak so loudly!

As for the words from the seventeenth century, Ye Tian directly filtered them out, I have to believe it too!

17th century antiques, you are willing to open three hundred? And it's the telescope used by Henry Morgan!

If this is true, there may be countless people grabbing three million dollars, so you can get it at the flea market to sell it?

Seeing the dramatic changes in Ye Tian's expression, a trace of embarrassment flashed in the eyes of the stall owner. Of course he understood how moist the price was!

But after all, he is a tried-and-tested profiteer. His expression has not changed at all, and he is still very determined. It seems that he is indeed a baby from Henry Morgan.

After being surprised, Ye Tian smiled and shook his head and said:

"The price is too expensive! Although this thing is very beautiful, I don't think it is worth 300 dollars. I can only pay 50 dollars. How about? Can it be sold?"

"No, 50 dollars is too low, I can make a little concession, 280 dollars"

The stall owner shook his head very firmly, and then offered a new price.

"It's still too expensive! Is it okay for $80? I think it's almost the same. Buying a new binoculars online will be the price, let alone second-hand goods!"

Ye Tian smiled and raised a little price. He really wanted to take down the telescope for fun.

"The price is still too low! Unacceptable, do you think the workmanship and texture of this telescope is ordinary? 240 US dollars, this is the biggest concession I can make!"

The stall owner shook his head again and rejected Ye Tian's offer, but he also took a step back.

...

Garcia and a few friends stood not far away, observing Ye Tian's actions.

Seeing Ye Tian starting to bargain with the stall owner, Garcia's face immediately showed joy.

The chance to revenge is here!

Then he said to a black man next to him:

"Reid, this time you come to make a shot, raise the price, and cheat this kid hard! Look at my wink when you quote!"

"Okay, look at me! I must teach him a profound lesson"

Reid nodded excitedly, and walked towards Ye Tian.

Garcia and the others continued to stay at a distance to watch the show, and did not follow, lest Ye Tian would be alert and lose this opportunity for revenge.

"120 U.S. dollars, this is my last offer. If I can, I will pay for it. If it doesn't work, I'll forget it! I'll go to other stalls to have a look."

Ye Tian is still bargaining with the stall owner, tempting each other!

Hearing this price, the stall owner was a little moved, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes, making money!

But he didn't immediately nod his head to agree, but began to ponder.

Ye Tian didn't worry, he just smiled and looked at each other, waiting for the stall owner to make a decision. If the price still can't come down, then he is ready to give up.

Just then, a word suddenly came from the side.

"Man, how much is this pirate telescope? I'm going to sail a yacht in a few days, and I just need one"

This problem suddenly broke the calm, Ye Tian and the stall owner both turned their heads and looked over.

It was Reid who came. He pointed his binoculars and asked curiously, but his eyes were mostly on Ye Tian, ​​observing Ye Tian's reaction.

Ye Tian recognized Reid at first glance, isn't this the black buddy who stood beside Garcia just now!

You still drive a yacht out to sea? Have you seen what a yacht captain is like? If you vomit blood for a year, you may not be able to earn the berth fee at the New York Marina!

"Hey!"

Ye Tianchi laughed.

In an instant, he understood Reid's intentions, and he came to mess around, and it must be Garcia's instruction.

Thinking of this, he immediately turned his head and looked around.

Sure enough, Garcia and the others were not far away, pretending to be intently looking at the things on the other stall.

Got it! Since you want to play, play with you and see who is unlucky in the end!

Hearing Reid's inquiry, the stall owner immediately beamed, and there are competitors! Maybe you can earn more!

"This young man pays $120. If you exceed this price, then sell it to you! If you can't make it, then give it to this young man"

The stall owner pointed to Ye Tian and explained, then he looked at Reid expectantly, his eyes hot!

Sure enough, he was not disappointed, he heard the answer he wanted most.

"Wow! It's so cheap! What a great antique! 140 dollars, I want it!"

Reid's expression was exaggerated as if he had discovered a new world, and he was ready to pay the bill after the price was quoted.

But the corner of his eye has been observing Ye Tian, ​​waiting for Ye Tian to get on.

"Good actor! Have the level of a movie star!"

Ye Tian smiled in his heart and praised him.

Since I want to play a game, then I must cooperate, otherwise it would be boring! It's not fun, it's not!

The next second, he turned his head to look at Reid and said angrily:

"Dude, are you not very authentic?"

"Isn't the price set yet? It's not bad for me to intervene now!"

Reid shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, with a smug expression on his face.

"Yes, he can inquire now, if we agree on the price, then he can't bid."

The stall owner explained that he would like more people to bid!

"Okay! In that case, I should pay 160 dollars, right?"

Ye Tian pretended to reluctantly quoted a new price, and then he was ready to take out his wallet.

The stall owner's laughing mouth was cracked, and Reid looked like he was looking at his relatives, his eyes filled with love.

was about to nod, but the phone rang.

The stall owner glanced at his phone, and then immediately said to Ye Tian and Reid:

"Please wait, I'll answer the call"

After speaking, he took his cell phone and walked aside two steps, and started answering the phone.

Ye Tian and Reid looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. The smell of gunpowder between the two seemed to explode!

But Ye Tian laughed in his heart, and at the same time imagined the next step of the plot, how could he teach this group a bitter lesson?

Two minutes later, the stall owner came back. When he faced Ye Tian and Reid again, his eyes had become a bit strange.

The look he looked at Ye Tian was curiosity mixed with greed!

And looking at Reid, he was more contemptuous and disdainful.

As soon as the stall owner returned, Ye Tian immediately observed his eyes.

Through the change of expression in his eyes, Ye Tian has already seen the general meaning.

The call should be from Garcia. The content is self-evident. It must be for the stall owner to cooperate with himself and propose the rebate ratio.

Although I am a newcomer at the flea market, I have seen this method many times on other occasions. It's just the same! If you can't even handle this, wouldn't it be a fool!

Come here!
