After coming out of the metropolis, Ye Tian did not go home immediately. He walked into the Natural History Museum not far away and continued his museum tour to learn about antiques.
The news of the shocking changes in the Metropolis has reached here, and the atmosphere in the museum is a bit tense.
All security personnel are on guard against the enemy, keeping a close eye on visitors to prevent unexpected situations.
Ye Tian never dared to see through anything again to avoid unexpected situations, but observed and learned honestly.
By the time he left the museum and returned home after dinner, it was almost nine o’clock in the evening.
Although he had been shopping for almost a whole day, he did not feel tired at all and was still very excited.
After resting at home for more than ten minutes, he arrived at Jason’s door carrying the beer he bought when he went upstairs.
He is not an alcoholic, and he is not Jason’s friend who talks about everything. The two of them can only be regarded as pretty good neighbors. They just say hello to each other when they meet.
The reason why he came to see Jason was because he had a purpose.
Jason works in a thrift store in Manhattan and has access to a lot of garage sale and warehouse auction information.
Ye Tian wanted to obtain this information through him, so as to find the cheapest antiques to study and strengthen his own powers, and make some money along the way.
Okay! Making money is the more important reason!
With such an outstanding power, if you don’t use it to make money and change your life, God will probably despise you!
Jason was a little surprised when he saw Ye Tian coming with beer, but who would refuse such a good thing? I am so poor that I have nothing to worry about.
Jason lived in a room with others, sharing a room and a shared living room.
As soon as he walked into the room, Ye Tian smelled a familiar smell, and the picture in his eyes was also very familiar.
This is almost exactly the same as the situation in my house before yesterday. It was a mess and the smell was terrible!
When he was in this kind of environment, Ye Tian didn’t think anything was wrong and could turn a blind eye. But now that he saw this situation again, he felt a little resistant and frowned unconsciously.
Perhaps seeing the change in his expression, Jason smiled awkwardly and said.
“Stephen, don’t mind, the room is a bit messy, but there is still a place to sit and drink beer”
As he said that, he picked up the dirty clothes on the sofa and threw them on the bed to make room.
“It doesn’t matter! My place was just as messy before, I’m used to it”
Ye Tian smiled and sat on the sofa, reaching out and handing Jason a bottle of beer.
After a few casual chats, Jason asked about the reason why Ye Tian came up. He understood that Ye Tian must not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
“Steven, what do you want from me? You brought Budweiser late at night! I’m so flattered!”
Ye Tian stretched out the wine bottle, touched it with him, took a sip, and then stated his purpose.
“You also know what happened yesterday. I made some money through the warehouse auction, but I currently have no job and no source of income. If this continues, I can only sit and eat.”
Jason nodded and said nothing. He had some understanding of Ye Tian’s situation and knew that this was completely true.
How can I be better than him? At most, I have a job and I’m just starving to death. The money I earn is never enough to spend, otherwise I wouldn’t go to the warehouse auction, and I just want to make some extra money!
Ye Tian continued to speak.
“Instead of sitting around and hitting the wall for job hunting, it’s better to find something to do, so I want to continue participating in warehouse auctions. This may be a way to change my life.
That’s why I’m looking for you. Don’t you work in a second-hand store? You have a lot of exposure to warehouse auctions and all kinds of used goods information. You are considered a professional in this field.
If possible, I would like to get some warehouse auction information. Of course, this is not free. I will pay some compensation, provided that the information is useful and allows me to profit from it.”
After finishing speaking, Ye Tian looked at Jason, waiting for his response.
Jason pondered for a while, and then said solemnly:
“Steven, I understand what you mean. I can indeed get the auction information of all the storage companies in New York. I have no problem with used goods. I am also well-informed.
But I want to explain that this business is not simple. It has a certain degree of professionalism. Those who really rely on the profits from warehouse auctions to survive are those professional treasure diggers, while others can only get lucky.
Not only do you need to have all kinds of auction information, but you also need to understand the knowledge of second-hand goods for accurate valuation, and you also need to have channels to turn the things you find into money, otherwise no matter how good the treasure is, it will be garbage! “
Ye Tian smiled and nodded. What Jason said was very correct. His limited experience in warehouse auctions was enough to prove these words.
However, it is very different now!
All warehouses have their gates opened in front of me, there are no secrets at all! You will be allowed to take whatever you want! Make a fortune!
Seeing his expression, Jason immediately understood that Ye Tian was determined to enter this industry, but he still had to say what needed to be said.
“You were very lucky yesterday and picked up a treasure, but this kind of thing doesn’t happen often. It’s normal to be disappointed. Do you still want to enter this industry?”
Ye Tian smiled.
Taking treasures may not happen often to others, but I can dig out treasures from every warehouse I photograph!
“I’m sure! I’m also very confident that I will be able to find treasures from the warehouse”
What else can Jason say! What’s more, the relationship between the two is not that good, and they need to consider each other’s future.
After a pause, he immediately smiled and said:
“Okay! I wish you can continue to dig out treasures from the warehouse and become the most famous treasure hunter in New York!”
“Thank you! I believe there will be such a day!”
Ye Tian nodded confidently.
“Let me tell you a piece of information first. It has nothing to do with the warehouse auction. It is used information. Tomorrow, Saturday, is the opening day of the Brooklyn Flea Market.
There are two locations, one in Winter-Market-at-Skylight-One-Hanson; the other in DUMBO, just under the Brooklyn Bridge, not far from here”
“I know the DUMBO Dumbo Flea Market and have been there too. It seems like most of them sell old clothes and furniture, right?”
“Then you must not have looked carefully. There are many good products in these two flea markets, and there are even some rare antiques. It depends on your eyesight and whether you can spot them!
There are individuals, second-hand shops, and professional treasure diggers who set up stalls at the flea market. Our second-hand shop will set up a stall at the Winter-Market tomorrow. You can go and have a look.
It is recommended that you first understand some basic information and get a feel for the market prices of various used goods. This will also facilitate your valuation at warehouse auctions in the future, and it is also a good sales channel.”
“Okay, I’ll go take a look tomorrow, maybe I’ll learn something”
“I wish you good luck! If you come to Winter-Market, I’ll treat you to a hot dog. This is not only a flea market, but also a gourmet market. There is a very good hot dog stand”
“Thank you, I will taste it! Let me treat you as a treat to thank you for the information”
Jason touched his pocket, he was so embarrassed! I didn’t insist anymore.
After chatting for a while, both of them drank three or four bottles of beer and were quite happy.
Seeing that it was almost time, Ye Tian stood up and prepared to leave.
When he stood up, he caught a glimpse of a book thrown on Jason’s bed. It was very thick, the binding was very beautiful, and it was a little old.
After seeing the title of the book clearly, Ye Tian’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately pointed at the book and said:
“Jason, can you lend me this antique catalog? I urgently need to supplement my knowledge in this area. If you can sell it to me, that would be the best. I will give you a satisfactory price.”
Jason turned his head and looked at the old books on the bed, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
This is a book given to me by a second-hand store. If I can exchange it for some money, why not buy it?
It’s worth it even for a pizza! This book is also available in stores now, so you can read it anytime you want.
Thinking of this, he immediately walked to the bedside, picked up the book and handed it to Ye Tian.
“Okay, I’ll sell you this book. Through it, you can learn about most of the antiques on the market and have a grasp of their prices.
Not only do I have an antique catalog, but I also have a second-hand collection, which I think you may need too. I can sell it to you as well. As for the price, just give it to me, whatever it is! “
After finishing speaking, he walked to the table next to him and took out a thick book.
“Thank you, I believe these two books can help me gain a lot of knowledge. How about a total of one hundred dollars for the two books? If appropriate, I will give you cash”
Ye Tian took the book, thanked him, and immediately offered the price.
The price was set very high, far exceeding the current value of the two books.
This was intentional. Firstly, he really needed these two books, and secondly, he planned to use them to get closer to Jason so that he could get more information from him in the future.
“Yeah! That’s great! This guy is so generous. I thought it was worth twenty at most, but I didn’t expect it to be worth a hundred dollars!”
Jason was so excited that he almost jumped up and cheered, so what are you waiting for? Wouldn’t you be stupid not to agree?
“Okay, Steven, they’re yours”
“Thank you, Jason, this is a Franklin”
Ye Tian smiled and took out his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and handed it to Jason.
Excitedly taking the money and putting it away, Jason smiled happily and reminded Ye Tian a few more words.
“There is no problem with the antiques and used goods catalogs in the two books, but the valuations may not be accurate. When using them, you’d better check the real-time prices online. You can check them on the auction house website or eBay”
“I know, that’s it for today. I should go back and rest. See you tomorrow!”
Ye Tian nodded, then walked towards the door with two books in his arms.
“Thanks for the beer and green Franklin, Steven, and good night!”
Jason sent Ye Tian out enthusiastically.
……
After going home and washing up, Ye Tian leaned on the bedside and began to read these two books to increase relevant knowledge.
Time passed quickly, and it was already half past eleven in a blink of an eye.
He felt a little sleepy, so he threw the book aside and prepared to rest.
At the last moment before going to bed, he looked at the wall intently again, intending to test his perspective ability to see if there was any improvement.
It is still an earthy color to the eye, and it still cannot penetrate the wall, but it seems to be a little bit thicker than yesterday.
“Ah…”
While he was concentrating, the deafening roar of waves suddenly came from next door, startling Ye Tian.
“Yinworm!”
Ye Tian smiled and cursed, then put on his earmuffs and fell asleep.
Tomorrow is a great day for treasure hunting!
