There can be five or six in a car, and with such a classic and strange means of transportation, everyone simply squeezes into the tricycle, which can still be ridden, and the "boom" arrives at the mouth of the tunnel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The excavator key was thrown to Cuenca, and today he plans to open all the remaining nine warehouses.

When the door to the sixth warehouse was opened, it was found to be about two-thirds the size of the previous storeroom, with many crates of ammunition piled up.

"I don't know what it is. ”

Zhang Nan said casually, Qiu Bo pry open one here, and there are all metal strips with a blue-gray surface, this time the guys all know what these are: silver.

The long silver ingots, with a slight arc, are not like the melted and cast products of the industrial era, with a bit of antique taste.

The bodyguards in Huaxia have good eyes, and they can also see Chinese characters on the silver bars: Jialong, Mingming, and ten taels of fine silver......

When ordinary Chinese people see these things, they may think that these are old Chinese silver bars, but Guan Xingquan and they will not think so, because they have seen such silver bars in Vietnam before.

"These are old Vietnamese silver bars. ”

It was Kwan Xingquan who spoke.

When Zhang Nan heard this, he said: "The little devil seems to have an agreement with the Vichy government of the French to occupy Vietnam, I don't know about this."

But these Annamite silver bars ...... It's really useless!"

It just doesn't work.

Jialong, Mingming... These are the emperor's years of the last dynasty in Vietnam, the Nguyen Dynasty, Gia Long from 1802 to 1820 and the Minh Yen from 1820 to 1841.

As for who was the emperor of Vietnam at that time?

Who cares about that.

In the old days, Vietnam was called Annam, and the old silver bars from Vietnam have always been called Annam goods in the antique circles of China. The old silver bars and silver ingots in China are valuable, but the Annan silver bars are also worth a silver price, and they are not sought after at all.

Some people say that the silver content of Annan silver bars is low, so it is not popular, in fact, Zhang Nan has seen a large number of Annan silver bars, most of the silver content is not bad, and the price is not simply the reason for the silver content.

Personally, I feel that the biggest reason should be that "foreign goods are not sought after", and the amount of silver bars in Annam is too large.

In the new century, Annam silver bars are a major part of the numismatic collection of China's neighboring countries, and like Joseon, Little Devil, and Ryukyu silver ingots, Annam's numismatic system is also influenced by the concept of "wide land and square circle" in Chinese Han culture.

The prototype of the silver ingot in Annam is mainly the ship-shaped silver ingot of the Tang Dynasty in China, which is atmospheric, thick and heavy, and has always looked good.

At this time, Zhang Nan took out two silver ingots in the box, ten taels marked, which is about 380 grams now.

The standard Annam official silver bar has pores on the silver ingots and a golden multicolored light on the inside.

The thing itself is supposed to be snow-white, but due to the fact that it has been touched by people in use, the air has oxidized, and it has been left in this tunnel warehouse for several decades, the appearance of the silver bar has formed a layer of cyan oxide paste that feels refreshing.

"Seven black, eight gray and nine turn green, and when the color is paid off in ninety-five, the color of these silver ingots should be more than ninety-five. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Nan threw the silver ingot directly back into the box, completely without the habit of caring for ancient currencies before.

This makes Guan Xingquan and Xiang Weirong a little strange: Zhang Nan has never treated "old silver" like this before, and even the most ordinary foreign silver dollars will not be thrown away like this.

Guan Xingquan said strangely: "It's all ninety out of five and it's useless?"

Zhang Nan smiled and said: "It's just a silver price, it's not as easy to deal with industrial silver ingots as it is to sell in large quantities, these have to be re-furnaceed, and it will be troublesome." ”

Well, these can be regarded as antiques anyway, if they are all returned to the furnace and sold as industrial silver, the bodyguards really think it is a pity, and even Philip and Cuenca, who understand the situation, have some difficulty understanding the boss's thoughts.

Zhang Nan looked at everyone's expressions and said, "It's too much, it's too much!"

This kind of silver bar was minted in large quantities before the French arrived in Vietnam, and was also made during the French colonial period, and was widely circulated in Vietnam and southwest China during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and the survival volume is very large.

At that time, high-quality silver bars had an innate international monetary function, but the fineness of silver ingots needed to be negotiated by the public survey, and it was customary to stamp the silver ingots traded on both sides.

Moreover, the firms and merchants of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China often marked the trade name, year name, and auspicious language of the silver two smelting and casting they handled.

However, this habit is sometimes very bad, like some silver dollars or even punches too much and is chiseled and deformed, which is called a bad version.

An intact silver dollar that is not stamped is called a koyo, a light plate, or a mirror, and this term is still in use today. ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Nan flipped through several boxes at random, and found the silver bar he needed, with the marks of "Gongjia", "Xu Fuji", and "Fake Package" on it.

Zhang Nan said to everyone: "This is a silver bar from the colonial period of Vietnam, Xu Fu Chi is the trademark of the origin of the silver bar, this kind of silver ingot with the name of the chamber of commerce or family was very popular in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China."

There is no need to check whether this Xu Fu Ji is in China or Vietnam, as long as the silver bars in this time period and this shape are classified as Annam goods.

The inscription was engraved at that time to ensure the quality of the silver ingots, and the signature was used to indicate that the silver ingots were handled.

Gong A is the meaning of the public assessment agreed to be first-class, and the silver ingots that are agreed to be public A are more than ninety percent of the fine, as for the false exchange, everyone understands. ”

He threw the silver bar in his hand and kicked the box on the side by the way: "Two years ago, if there were one or two boxes like this, then the three of us would be able to make a fortune and get a stick and mallet." Now ......"

Glancing at the warehouse, he shook his head: "It's too much, I don't have time to cheat." ”

"How to deceive?"

I have a lot of contact with antiques, and Xiang Weirong also knows that there are traps everywhere.

"Old silver ingots and old silver bars are valuable in China, but they don't include this kind of Annam silver bars.

But there are not many people who know that this thing is boring, and they thought that the price of this thing was about the same as the price of the old Chinese silver ingot, but it was hidden according to the price of the old Chinese silver ingot, and it was directly lost to grandma's house. ”

Zhang Nan has encountered this more than once in his previous life: the first time he became a mallet, and at that time he went to the village to dig out the old house. Fortunately, the other party is also a guy who doesn't understand anything, and he received double the price of silver, and he didn't lose much.

happily went to his friend's father-in-law, Master Zhang Rongting, and wanted to make a fortune through his sales, and Master Zhang could also earn some intermediary fees.

As a result, Master Zhang told him that this thing was worth a silver price, but there were few people in the industry who said about it.

Lost, it was okay, and in the end Zhang Nan sold it to the next mallet at twice the price.

There are always mallets, depending on whether you can find them or not.

The second time I still remember is what I encountered in the gold mining shop where I joined forces: a friend of my partner went to Yunnan Province to do business, and brought back more than 20 kilograms of old silver bars from Annam.

There are one taels, five taels, and ten taels, and I originally thought that I could make a lot of money, because I got it at a wholesale price that was more expensive than the price of silver, and I thought I had picked up a big bargain.

As a result, as soon as I came back, I ran into walls everywhere, and finally made a few shots, and was pulled to return the goods: the buyer is not a person in the industry, but you don't care about the rules of your eyes and stomach.

At that time, the international silver price was seven or eight yuan a gram, and more than 100,000 yuan was pressed in his hand and couldn't get out!

More than 20 kilograms is a batch of waste that looks valuable, but is actually difficult to sell and cannot eat!

It's not a loss to sell.

Find Zhang Nan's partner and see if there is a way.

In the end, a batch of bracelets were sold to the gold shops in Yan County after being melted and made into old silver for sale, and some of them were helped by Zhang Nan to help him find a way to sell them everywhere.

"This thing can also make an old silver bracelet, and the rest is really useless. ”

Here, Xiang Weirong figured it out and said, "The old silver is good, and the luster is good." ”

"This is true, even if the purity of the new silver is high, it is also extracted silver, and the previous ones were all smelted silver, and this luster is different. ”

The purity of old silver is not as good as that of new silver, but silver products with old silver texture have a special metallic luster, which is not found in new silver products anyway.

At this point, the storeroom was probably counted: a scale was prepared, which was brought from the kitchen.

A few boxes are averaged, multiplied by the approximate number of boxes here, not particularly much, hundreds of tons.

Here Thomas asked, "Boss, do you have to go back to the furnace?"

A bit of a pity expression.

"What, reluctantly?"

Thomas smiled and said, "I always feel that this thing is an antique, and I have a similar souvenir at home that I brought back from Vietnam."

A friend asked me if I had bought it, and the price was several times the price of silver, and I thought that some old guys could sell it in some flea markets in the United States, as if it were the trophy brought back from Vietnam, and it would be no problem to sell it for several times the price. ”

When Zhang Nan heard this, he said, "But there are hundreds of tons here." ”

"Boss, there are a lot of people who rely on military products to make a living, and many of them are really Vietnam War veterans who are not having a good time.

There is also a fraternity that sells old military products, and you can sell them to them, and every time you get a dozen or twenty tons, or they will be sold out in two or three years......"

This explanation makes it clear that mosquito legs are small and meat, the population of the United States is two or three hundred million, and the things that can only be used to cheat sticks and mallets in the Chinese collection world may be sold for a good price in the United States, but it is a different reason.

Hundreds of tons of silver bars look like a lot, and the whole United States is inconspicuous, two or three hundred million people.

"Okay, then treat it as a war memorabilia. This is handed over to the United Forces as the company's operating expenses. ”

Saying that, he looked at the people here, and said: "Industry rules, I will double the commission of ten percent, I don't want it with my brother-in-law and Brother Guan, plus the necessary operators in the company to share this commission." Thomas, you take three portions. ”

In this way, each person has at least 100,000 US dollars in "shares", and Thomas who has to contact the phone will have an additional income of more than 300,000 yuan, which is a good amount.

If you do it well, you can double it.

Of course, everyone thinks it's good, and the boss is generous!

In other words, this plan is not a pure deception of the "American mallet", it is just a different cultural background.

Besides, these can really be barely regarded as "military products", but the things of World War II were blindly broken into "souvenirs" of the Vietnam War: the war is like this, those who don't have souvenirs are stupid, and Zhang Nan has no sense of guilt about this.

......

went out and locked it, and the seventh door was blasted open by a gun, and the things piled up inside gave Zhang Nan a headache!

A room full of Southeast Asian antiques: no precious metals, many of them are bronze Buddha statues, and there are even two super large chairs, both weighing hundreds of pounds.

The dragon is carved in wood, and there is some gold leaf on it.

"Anan, I think this is a bit like the emperor's thing. ”

Xiang Weirong visited the Forbidden City, and the two chairs here are somewhat similar to the dragon chairs of the Manchu emperors, but with a distinctly Southeast Asian style.

"Well, it should be the dragon chair of the king or the emperor of those small countries in Southeast Asia.

I don't know if it's Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia or whatever, this Indochina Peninsula goes up for a thousand years, and this history is that you beat me and I beat you, I don't understand. ”

The emperor took turns to sit in my house this year. There are many ethnic groups in the Indochina Peninsula, the terrain is complex, and there are many large and small imperial courts, and God knows where the little devils moved from.

The dragon chair is not a headache, what makes Zhang Nan a headache is those Buddha statues: things are definitely good things, the little devil sent a large number of monks and experts to participate in the looting, and the cultural relics that can be moved into the tunnel for the final hiding must be the best of the best!

You must know that the Philippines is not a Buddhist country, and on the surface it believes in the Celestial Bishop, and there is nothing to do with Buddhism.

Transported from the Indochina Peninsula thousands of miles here, it will not be an ordinary cargo: Zhang Nan can see and guess this.

But there are also too many large and small Buddha statues here, and there are at least hundreds of different shapes. The big ones are hundreds of kilograms, and the small ones are dozens of pounds, and the shapes are very chic, and many of them are also pasted with gold leaf.

But that's too much, move home and worship?

There is an old saying in Huaxia: Don't let the gods hold a conference!

The Bodhisattva in the temple shows that the temple is powerful, but if there are too many offerings at home, it is "the gods are holding a meeting in your house", just hehe......

Weigh it yourself!

Zhang Nan is not a Buddhist, but he maintains a basic respect for the Buddha, and the Buddha statue here is not a statue of Mahayana Buddhism in China, but a Theravada Buddhist statue, which seems to be also called Southern Buddhism and Theravada Buddhism.

Southern Buddhism is now prevalent in Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and some areas of Yunnan Province.

I don't know much about this Zhang Nan, but I will definitely not move so many Buddha statues to my home.

Sell?

Just kidding!

Invite the Buddha statue or the Taoist Sanqing statue home, which is very particular in the collecting world.

Regardless of whether you are a believer or not, as long as you encounter a statue of a god or a bodhisattva, you will follow the rules.

Engaging in a "big sale"?

Zhang Nan's nerves are not so big!

Lock the door, my brain hurts.

As soon as the door of the eighth warehouse opened, Zhang Nan said directly: "Little devil, you play with me!"

I haven't figured out how to deal with the trouble ahead, and a new problem is coming!

Facing the door, a two-meter-tall seated Buddha is facing him, and the surface is shining with golden light.

It's not gold leaf, it's the shining luster of the Buddha statue itself: the color is not as golden as gold, and it has a hint of copper.

But it's different from the ordinary bronze Buddha, it's much brighter!
