Treasure Hunt all over the World

"squeak"

With the sound of braking, several Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs stopped at the entrance of the bar.

The people who lined up at the entrance of Cunning Rabbit Bar and waited to enter the bar, and the tourists who came here admiringly, holding their mobile phones or cameras to take pictures, all looked here.

When Ye Tian and the others got out of the car and appeared at the door of this world-famous bar, there was a burst of discussion on the scene.

"I'm going! Why did this guy Steven come to the Cunning Rabbit Bar? Wherever this guy appears, there must be turmoil, and there may be a wonderful show to watch today!"

"Don't forget, Steven is a top antique art appraisal expert and a top professional treasure hunter. When he came to Montmartre, how could he miss the art mecca of Cunning Rabbit Bar?"

After getting off the bus, Ye Tian first nodded to the people in the line and the tourists taking pictures, and then walked to the door of the bar!

At the same time, two security personnel who came here in advance to buy tickets and a tall middle-aged white man walked out of the bar and greeted them.

The two sides approached, the middle-aged white man stretched out his right hand to Ye Tian, ​​smiling and saying:

"Good evening, Mr. Steven, welcome to Cunning Rabbit Bar. I’m Little Fred, the current owner of Cunning Rabbit Bar. I’m glad to meet you and admire your name for a long time!"

"Mr. Fred, good evening, I’m Steven and I’m from New York. I am also glad to meet you. The night is beautiful tonight. This artistic bar is even more beautiful!"

I have been admired for the famous cunning rabbit bar in the art world for a long time. I wanted to come here for a long time. Now it is finally here. It really deserves its reputation, and it is a holy place for art! "

Ye Tian shook hands with Little Fred, introduced himself, and complimented each other.

With that, he glanced at the cunning rabbit bar behind little Fred again, his eyes full of expectation.

This is a building built on a hillside. The appearance of the bar is very simple. It can barely be called a two-story building, a bit like a house in a French country, with red walls and black tiles, green wooden shutters, and a sloping roof!

The wine-red wall is not high and is surrounded by wooden fences. The green wooden shutters are very eye-catching. Behind the shadow of the tree near the doorway, a rabbit jumping out of the pan can be vaguely seen.

And this is the origin of the name of the cunning rabbit bar.

The history of this bar is more complicated. Around 1860, it was also called the ‘Assassin’s Bar’. In 1875, the artist Andre Gil drew a logo for this bar!

It was a peculiar painting. In the painting, a humanized rabbit jumped out of the pan. Since then, this rabbit has been combined with this bar!

First, the residents living nearby called this bar ‘Jill’s Rabbit’, and later changed its current name, Cunning Rabbit Bar!

The Rabbit Bar is not only a bar, but also one of the most artistic holy places in Montmartre and even in Paris.

This bar is known as the cradle of talented painters before they become famous. The style of the bar was very artistic at first, so it attracted frequent patrons by artists such as Picasso and Calandas.

Fred, the bar owner at the time, loved art and often made some artistic creations. He was considered a young French artist!

Coupled with Fred's kindness and kindness, he liked to interact with some less famous artists at that time, making this bar a frequent meeting place for many artists.

When he was in charge of the bar, the regular artists who came to drink here if they didn't have the money or didn't want to pay, they could use one of their paintings as alcohol to pay the bill.

In this way, Fred collected the works of many famous painters before they became famous.

One of the most famous paintings is "At the Cunning Rabbit Bar" that Picasso used to exchange drinks.

At the beginning, this masterpiece, which was only worth a few glasses of wine, was sold for over 40 million U.S. dollars in 1989, which caused a huge sensation. This is the charm of art!

Currently, Picasso's "At the Cunning Rabbit Bar" is in the Metropolitan Museum of New York!

In addition to famous painters such as Picasso, the frequent visitors of the sly rabbit bar also include famous musicians and writers such as George Brassan and Hemingway.

It can be said that the history of the cunning rabbit bar is a star-studded Western art history!

From the late nineteenth century until now, almost all famous artists who have lived and lived in Paris have left their footprints here, with very few exceptions!

This is a cultural card of France, and it is also a treasure of art. I don’t know what I can gain tonight. It is worth looking forward to!

Ye Tian quickly glanced at the Cunning Rabbit Bar, then retracted his gaze, and looked at the bar owner Fred!

After getting to know each other, Little Fred went on to say:

"Steven, you are one of the top antique art appraisal experts in the world today, and a famous professional treasure hunter. We are very welcome to our cunning rabbit bar!

All your consumption in the bar tonight is counted as mine. You only need to tip the waiters. The income of the waiters in the bar mainly depends on the tips of the guests!

If you don't mind, I would like to ask you to help identify a few paintings to see whose work they are and by which painter? What is the artistic value and market value?

Those paintings were used by poor and penniless painters to exchange drinks, and they were all unsigned paintings, accumulated over a long period of time, and a lot of them were kept in the bar! "

"This is okay, as long as you trust my vision, I can help you look at those paintings, but I can't guarantee that I can identify all the paintings!

As for the question of consumption, I would like to thank you for your generosity. Of course, the tip of the waiter will not be less. My buddy is never a stingy person! "

Ye Tian said with a smile, and nodded in agreement.

He can't help appraising the artworks accumulated in the bar. The process of appraising those artworks is not a process of discovering treasures.

However, what little Fred said next directly failed Ye Tian's expectations and disappointed him!

"Of course I trust your vision. I am more or less a half-artist. I have long heard of your ability to appraise antique works of art. It is absolutely thunderous. Nothing is more powerful than you!

Here, I want to make one point first, the art collections displayed in the cunning rabbit bar will not be sold tonight. What happened in Xiaoqiu Square this morning~www.ltnovel.com~ I have heard about it, I hope you can understand! "

Little Fred smiled and said, completely eliminating the possibility of Ye Tian picking up leaks in the cunning rabbit bar.

No one wants to be the target of being ransacked by madness, to be another hapless, ridiculed, and sympathetic object in Montmartre, like the hapless Rodriguez!

"Ah! It will not be sold tonight! I heard you right? Are you a little too careful? How can I be so scary, as for this?"

Ye Tian exclaimed in a low voice, disappointed in his eyes.

"You heard that right! Steven, your vision is so sharp and terrifying! No antique works of art can be seen in front of you, I don't want to wait for you to leave the bar and jump in the Seine River regretfully! "

Little Fred said jokingly, eyes full of jealousy.

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, Betty and the others laughed, and Ye Tian smiled helplessly.

When it comes to this, what can I do?

It seems that tonight can only be entertained, not treasure hunting, and to help the bar owner identify unknown paintings, it is really a loss!

Next, Ye Tian introduced Betty and the others, and under the leadership of Fred, walked into this world-famous bar and another art mecca in Paris!

Due to the limited internal space of the bar, most of the security personnel stayed outside. Only Anderson, Taylor and Lisa entered the bar with Ye Tian and Betty, as well as Matisse and two other security personnel!

When they entered the bar, the Paris policemen in plain clothes arrived late and hurried here!

These guys also want to enter the bar and follow Ye Tian up close.

However, they can only pay for their own money, spend 25 euros to buy tickets, and then wait in line and slowly move forward!
