Chapter 235: The Golden Camel Buddha
After drinking, the fat man looked at Ye Lin and then at Li Ting.
"What do you see? Li Ting pointed to the faucet above the thermos bucket and said.
"Oh! Okay. ”
The fat man took another glass, still drank it in a few sips, and then took another cup.
I didn't drink it this time, probably because I wanted to wait for the ice cubes to melt, and also, I had already drunk two glasses and quenched my thirst, so there was no need to be the same as just now.
"Fatty, come in with me. ”
"Okay boss. The fat man agreed, and then entered the house with Ye Lin.
After coming to the house, the fat man put down the sour plum soup and asked, "Boss, what's the matter?"
"It's such a fat man, I'm going to be a scrap buying point here for a while, don't you know a lot of people?
After listening to Ye Lin's words, the fat man grew his mouth, and said for a long time: "No, boss, who will take the scrap here and sell it?"
"Who told you you were going to scrap it?"
"Uh, Boss, aren't you a scrap shop?"
"That's right, but I'm not the same as I collect scrap, I also collect old things. ”
"Old object, boss, aren't you, aren't you selling dog meat on a sheep's head?"
"Fuck off, what do you know, let me ask you, what is waste?"
The fat man thought for a while and said, "Waste? Isn't waste just the rags that others don't want?"
"Fatty, you're right! ”
"Uh, what's wrong, boss?"
Ye Lin glanced at the fat man and said: "Waste, strictly speaking, as long as the owner doesn't want something, the owner of the thing feels useless is called waste." ”
"Ahh......h
Before the fat man could finish speaking, Ye Lin interrupted him and said, "I'm heresy, right!"
"Uh!" the fat man scratched his head and said, "Boss, I didn't say that. ”
"It's okay, it's okay to say it, I'm heresy in the first place, but I'm not wrong! Think about it yourself, isn't it, if you have something that's very good, but it's useless in your hands, and you don't want it anymore, it's not a waste product?"
Hearing Ye Lin say this, the fat man scratched his head and said, "It's really useless, I don't want it anymore, it's not a waste product." ”
"So I'm right. Ye Lin patted the fat man on the shoulder.
"I understand boss, I'll send you the news when I get back. ”
"Hmm!" Ye Lin nodded and said, "But there is one thing, I don't want something problematic." ”
"Problematic stuff, boss, what do you mean by problematic stuff?"
Hearing the fat man ask, Ye Lin thought for a while and said, "It's the kind that everyone in the family treats as treasures and secretly takes it out, I don't want people to come to the door." ”
It's not like Ye Lin hasn't done this kind of thing, although people have given a lot of money, Ye Lin still doesn't like this.
It didn't matter if he was young before, but now that he is older, people will come to the door, and he will never talk about things because he is young and ignorant.
So in order to avoid this kind of thing, Ye Lin could only not accept it.
Anyway, there are a lot of antiques now, and it doesn't matter if you collect less, so let's put it this way! Of the antiques destroyed in the imperial capital during the 10-year period, it is a great luck that he can save one percent, or even one thousandth.
Ye Lin didn't have much ambition for antiques, no matter how many antiques he received, he wouldn't sell them, of course, unless, as a last resort.
However, this last resort is likely not to happen at all, these antiques collected by Ye Lin are just to be saved, at most to make a museum in the future.
"Boss, I see, I'll explain this. ”
"Well, don't go back at noon, let's have a meal together. ”
"Hey, hey, hey. The fat man smiled and said, "Boss, I didn't plan to go back. ”
I finally caught it once, and the fat man didn't eat and drink well and then went back, you know, he won't be able to eat such a good thing when he goes back.
"You guy. Ye Lin shook his head.
But it doesn't matter, the fat man is not an outsider, he is a brother, don't say that he eats a meal here, even if he eats for a year or ten years, Ye Lin will not say anything.
But this kind of thing can't happen at all, and the fat man is not the kind of person who is lazy to eat, and he won't stay here.
At noon, a few people ate at the car repair shop, Uncle Jiang's craftsmanship is not covered, the chicken is stewed well, and the vegetables are fried.
After eating, the fat man left, Ye Lin knew that the fat man was helping him publicize.
If it is publicized by others, Ye Lin is not at ease, but there is absolutely no problem with the fat man.
Because this guy is from a compound, he is much more sensitive than others, and if he is not 100% sure, the fat man will never go to find someone.
Now my husband happens to be on vacation, and he is either running outside or staying at home.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Lin originally thought that no one would come, because it was work time, but at this time, a young man came.
This young man Ye Lin is a little familiar, Ye Lin has definitely seen him, but he can't remember it.
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
"Chang Wei asked me to come over. ”
"Uh!" Hearing that the young man said that the fat man asked him to come over, Ye Lin hurriedly said, "Let's go into the house and say." ”
"Hmm!" the young man nodded, and entered the house with Ye Lin.
After coming to the house, the young man didn't talk nonsense, and took out something from his bag, which was wrapped in newspaper, and it was very tightly wrapped, and Ye Lin didn't know what it was.
"Look at how much this is worth?" the young man handed the thing to Ye Lin.
"Oh! ”
Ye Lin hurriedly took it and opened the newspaper, revealing a Buddha statue inside.
Seeing this Buddha statue, Ye Lin was taken aback, because this was not an ordinary Buddha statue, but a golden-bodied Buddha statue.
No wonder I felt so heavy when I got it in my hand, it turned out to be pure gold, and the Buddha statue was not big, only about nine centimeters in height.
It is a Buddha statue with a smile on his face, his hands on his knees, and a big belly, and his stomach is almost catching up with the base.
Ye Lin turned over the Buddha statue and looked at the base, there was no mark on it, but there was one point, this was definitely an old object.
Although there were many fakes during the Republic of China, no one would use pure gold to forge them!
Besides, even if it's not an old object, this gold alone is worth a lot of money!
"Is this thing okay?"
"Don't worry, it's definitely golden, you can test it. ”
"That's not what I'm talking about. ”
Ye Lin couldn't tell that it was gold, because nothing but gold could be so heavy.
"Then you're talking about ......"
"What I'm saying is, you sold this, can your family agree?"
Hearing Ye Lin say this, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry about this, I didn't take this from home, as for where I got it, I can't tell you, but there is one point, there will definitely be no problem." ”
"Oh, I see, okay, I'll take it. ”
Ye Lin is not very clear about the current price of gold, because there is no way to buy gold in the market now.
There is no way, the country has just been established, heavy industry is not worth mentioning, and the only gold and foreign exchange have also been transported away by Jiang Guangtou.
Of course, the state has to reserve gold, and it can be said that during the period from the establishment of the country to the reform and opening up, gold was basically not sold to the outside world.
Although Ye Lin does not know the price of gold in China, he knows that abroad, Ye Lin has read a book in later generations, Currency Wars.
The price of gold from the fifties to the twenty-first century is clearly written on it.
In six or five years, the price of an ounce of gold was thirty-five dollars, and an ounce of gold was thirty-one grams.
That is to say, one gram of gold is only 1.125 US dollars, and according to the calculation of one US dollar to 1.5 yuan, then one gram of gold is about 6 cents and 8 cents.
This Buddha is nine centimeters high, five centimeters in diameter, and weighs more than 20 catties, that is, more than 10,000 grams.
If calculated according to one gram and six cents and eight cents, it is worth almost 20,000, of course, Ye Lin could not give him so much.
This is not to say that Ye Linhei does not want to think about the concept of 20,000 yuan in this era.
"And how much do you think it's worth?"
Ye Lin didn't speak, but stretched out two fingers.
"Ahh ”
Seeing Ye Lin stretch out two fingers, this guy thought it was two hundred.
"Two thousand. ”
"Poof! you...... What do you say?"
"I said two thousand, it can't be more, if you sell, I'll take it, if it'......"
"Sell, sell. ”
Before Ye Lin finished speaking, the young man hurriedly spoke.
"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll get you the money. ”
"Uh-huh!" the young man nodded hurriedly.
He also thought that Ye Lin was going to the bank to pick it up, because the bank was not far from here, only less than a hundred meters.
Ye Lin did go out to withdraw money, but instead of going to the bank, he took out so much money directly, Ye Lin felt bad, so he found an excuse to go out.
After only ten minutes or so, Ye Lin came back, put the two big unity in front of the young man and said, "Two thousand yuan, you count it." ”
"No, no, I believe you. The young man hurriedly picked up the money.
To be honest, if this wasn't gold, even if it was worth more than this, Ye Lin wouldn't have been able to give so much.
But gold has a price! You can't buy gold jewelry outside, but everyone knows that gold is valuable.
If this is an antique, even if it is worth 100,000 yuan now, Ye Lin will not give 2,000, let alone something worth 20,000 yuan.
But there are really not many antiques worth 100,000 now, not to mention whether they are worth 100,000 or not, even if they are worth it, who can afford it!
After getting the money, the young man glanced at Ye Lin and said, "Sell me the Phoenix bicycle you sold outside!"
"Uh, you want a bike?"
"Hmm! I've wanted to buy it for a long time, but I haven't bought it. ”
Although the young man didn't say why he didn't buy it, Ye Lin also understood that he didn't have the money to buy it, and he knew that a Phoenix bicycle cost more than two hundred, and he needed thirteen industrial rolls.
