Chapter 206: The Treasure of Xixi
At about 11:45 p.m. on December 10, 2010, a construction site in the Xixi Wetland in Hangzhou was working.
The excavator master didn't know what to think, so he came with another shovel, and it turned out to be a whole shovel of copper coins!
He didn't expect it at the first time: whether it was the first shovel or the second shovel, the things poured out were enough for him to earn in several lifetimes!
But when the two shovels come down, it is impossible to keep it secret: this is tons of ancient money, and the people working on the site are temporarily dumbfounded!
They don't know that what is buried here can be said to be the most precious, most valuable and most cherished copper coin cellar found in China after liberation!
Yes, the quantity and weight are not the most, but the value is dozens of streets away from other cellars!
Even if there are dozens of tons of copper coins buried in the tombs of princes in the Han Dynasty, the value today cannot be compared with here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the excavated soil pit, at this time, there were layers of ancient coins of various eras densely laid out -- there were "Chongning Heavy Treasure" of the Northern Song Dynasty, "Duanping Tongbao" of the Southern Song Dynasty and "Hongwu Tongbao" of the Ming Dynasty......
Someone called the police, but no one later said what had happened here before the police arrived.
Finally, according to the statistics of the cultural management department, the ancient coins dug up weighed about 2 tons, piled up in the warehouse as high as a hill, and the size varied from light to heavy, totaling about five or six hundred yuan, at least five or six hundred thousand pieces!
The excavation continued until late that night, and a large number of police officers surrounded the cordoned off area: because the clerical staff were more and more frightened, the value of this amount of money was simply immeasurable!
In order to transport this batch of unearthed ancient coins, two pickup trucks were used, and the weight of a small amount of dirt was almost flattened on the rear tires of the pickup truck!
There are more and more security guards, and in the end, there is a policeman standing at each of the four corners of the pickup truck's body, because any grip may be hundreds of thousands!
However, on the second day of the unearthing of this batch of coins, this batch of unearthed copper coins began to appear in the Hangzhou collection market, the emerald green pulp is not only beautiful but also very distinctive, and soon called "Xixi Cellar" by the people in the industry, and was immediately sought after!
This is because the state of preservation of these coins is first-class, beautiful, and the variety is extremely rich and precious.
As for why there are coins flowing into the market, there are still a lot of them?
People in the industry just know it, so why bother saying it.
At this time, not only the antique dealers and collectors in Hangzhou, but also the antique coin enthusiasts in half of Jiangnan Province rushed to the Xixi construction site as long as they heard about it within a few days.
At that time, Zhang Nan was one of the first collectors to know about this, because a friend of his friends on the Jiangnan TV station called him and asked him what kind of ancient money was worth.
Zhang Nan always remembered that passage, it was the afternoon of the first day.
Zhang Nan...... I was on the spot, and there were people out there sneaking around, and now I'm in the security zone, and there's still scattered on the ground. It's not good to pick up too much, and no one says how to pick up a few. ”
"What varieties are there?"
"Let me see, there are Daguan Tongbao, Zhizheng Tongbao, Dragon and Phoenix Tongbao......"
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Zhang Nan interrupted the other party in a hurry: "What you picked up?
"Well, just picked it up. ”
"Then you still shoot a hairy TV! A dragon and phoenix treasure will top your salary for several months! Hurry up and it! Ask the villagers and migrant workers outside to buy it!
After picking it up, I will withdraw it, and then buy it outside, keep it in communication, and I'll tell you if it's worth it when you buy it. ”
"Okay, listen to you, count your share!"
This friend is an antique layman, but he is also refreshing, and he directly pulled Zhang Nan, a high ginseng, into the gang.
"Don't care what the people in the warning area think of you, you can pick up as much as you can, it doesn't matter if you don't understand the variety, except for the dragon and phoenix Tongbao, the bigger the others, the better, basically can't be wrong!
Those police won't embarrass you as a news reporter, it's a big deal to be gossiped and warned, and you can change your 50-square-meter small dilapidated house!"
Here Zhang Nan took the car keys and rushed to the underground garage, and the friends over there were also full of confidence.
"By the way, do you have enough money?"
"There is four or five thousand cash, and I have just given a half-year bonus, and I haven't handed it in yet. ”
I'll come to Hangzhou right now, two hours at most, keep in touch!"
In this way, Zhang Nan arrived at the construction site in Hangzhou in less than two hours, and his friend had already come out of the warning area, and the film was handed over to his intern to go back to write and edit.
Just now, the experts didn't know the news, and the people in the warning area hadn't reacted yet, so he was like a groundhog rummaging around the pit wherever he could, filling all his pockets!
It's all treated like a guy who is greedy for money and wants to die!
However, he listened to Zhang Nan's words, so he ignored those contemptuous eyes, and did not stop until he was warned by a few policemen who really couldn't stand it.
Out of the warning area, bargaining with those with coins in their hands, Zhang Nan commanded remotely on the phone.
When Zhang Nan arrived, the two of them watched the excitement while buying coins, and they spent until two o'clock in the second half of the night.
Early the next morning, Zhang Nan and his friends who took leave to rest went to the scene again: at this time, the price of coins in the hands of nearby villagers and migrant workers had risen!
The night before, you can buy a big view for 10 yuan and 50 yuan, and the next day it will cost 100 or 200, but at this time, there are still people selling according to the size of the ancient money, rather than looking at the variety.
Layman!
The two spent a total of more than 50,000 yuan, and in the end, except for a very small amount of their own collection, a total of more than 1.8 million were sold!
That's right, it's more than 1.8 million!
Zhang Nan was bold and asked his friend to take one million and take the rest himself.
"Information is money, and the daylilies are cold for half a day!"
If you don't have a friend's phone call, Zhang Nan will collect a few pieces at most: the county collection will know the news the next night.
And if his friend hadn't made this call, it was estimated that he would have picked up more than ten or twenty pieces, and finally found that he had made a fool of twenty or thirty thousand, plus a lifetime of chagrin!
In the end, his friend also became a coin lover, and the one million plus the money from the sale of the old house, and some savings, changed to a new house of 110 square meters, and made him and his lover happy!
No way, Hangzhou houses are so expensive!
......
Zhang Nan put down the bucket, turned off the fire and jumped out of the car, and jumped into the pit with Guan Xingquan and Wang Debiao.
The dense copper coins were exposed, and Zhang Nan grabbed them and looked at them: That's right, they are the ones he wants to find.
"It's copper coins again. ”
It was Wang Debiao who spoke, he was not interested in this, otherwise he would not have sold more than 200 kilograms to Zhang Nan at the price of scrap copper last year.
"Debiao, you act as if you didn't see anything. ”
Hearing Zhang Nan's words, Wang Debiao nodded again and again: "Don't talk about copper coins, even if we dig out a nest of gold ingots, we don't know anything." ”
As he spoke, he pulled his mouth and signaled absolute secrecy.
"No matter what you dig out, hug your thighs and do the project before you get the money, I'm not stupid!"
Of course, he just thought about it in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it.
And Zhang Nan here is really not for money: this batch of cellars contains a few "most" in the Huaxia copper coin cellar, and I like this Tao!
That kind of satisfaction of collecting is difficult for outsiders to understand. (To be continued.) )
