Chapter 10: The Girl in the Box
There was a semi-public cubicle, and the two were waiting for Zhang Nan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Without much nonsense, the coin dealer Lao Zhang took out a few small packets of silver dollars wrapped in newspaper from a small cloth bag.
"Jiangnan Province has made a total of 50 Wuxu, Jihai, Guimao, and Yisi, all of which are not bad. One shot totaled 650. There are 4 in the old Jiangnan, 3 in the Yingyang and 1 in the straight side, a total of eighty. ”
This is the first time Zhang Nan saw the "old Jiangnan" after being reborn, which is two of the three kinds of non-dated silver dollars (commonly known as the old Jiangnan) minted in 1897 (the twenty-third year of Guangxu), each side tooth is different, and the number of issues is not much, and in 2011 it will be fried to more than 40,000 yuan! And now it is worth the price of two Yuan Datou.
As for the "Wuxu, Jihai, Guimao, Yisi" these kinds of Jiangnan Province silver dollars, also belong to a relatively rare variety, 30 years later, four or five thousand, 2011 as long as the quality is passable are copied on six or seven thousand, tens of thousands are also a lot, and now it is more expensive than the ordinary goods Longyang.
This Lao Zhang also has, "You may like it, Yuanguang Xuantong for three years, a total of 30, go together and Jiangnan Wuxu for a price." ”
All the silver dollars in this paper bag are separated by toilet paper, and in order to protect their surface - the ordinary condition of "Xuantong three years" will be the price of ordinary silver dollars, and the Shanghai is now selling for 12 pieces.
Zhang Nan simply inspected the goods, and after twenty years of experience, he didn't need to use a magnifying glass at all, and quickly determined that all the silver dollars were fine.
"Good goods!"
Curio trading picks every time?
In fact, there is no need to deliberately belittle among connoisseurs, otherwise they will only be looked down upon! Zhang Nan really thinks that this batch of silver dollars is good, and it is estimated that this old Zhang Jing has tens of thousands of silver dollars in his hands, so he can select such good quality and good varieties.
"I want it, a total of 1120?" Zhang Nan felt that these were worth collecting, and calculated in his heart. But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lao Zhang digging his pockets again: "Why is there still one?"
Seeing this old Zhang take out a small paper bag from his jacket pocket, "Two Guizhou Province car coins, a total of 100 yuan." ”
This variety of silver dollars is rare, Zhang Nan took it and looked at it carefully, no problem. After 30 years, according to the quality of the product, the genuine product ranges from 5 to 200,000 pieces!
"Add up to 1200, and we'll pay for it. Zhang Nan returned 20.
"Okay, no problem. Brother, refreshed, next time there are rare coins for you to keep first. "I said I kept it, but I didn't ask for a mailing address or anything, this will be in addition to the local ones, many antique dealers do this, who told everyone to do either gray or black business!
As a result, the common people in Shanghai began to buy a few ordinary silver dollars to hide, and this prompted a large number of silver dollars of all kinds to flow into Shanghai from all over the world; collectors and dealers like Zhang Nan, who needed high-quality goods, would be able to get what they needed in Shanghai, and the surplus ordinary silver dollars on hand could be disposed of at a reasonable price, thus forming a benign market circulation system.
Take out the whole knife from the inner pocket of the jacket and throw it to the other party, and then count out twenty sheets, and the money and goods are cleared.
"Two, in addition to the silver dollar, if the first and second sets of RMB and the red corner, green back, and green back watermark have good quality, help the little brother pay attention to it. As long as the goods are good, there is no problem with the market price. ”
The first and second sets of renminbi have ceased circulation, and the third set of renminbi "red dime, green back, green back watermark" three dime banknotes, for various reasons have ceased to be issued more than 20 years ago, although still in circulation, but the market is almost extinct, has attracted the attention of a small number of collectors and coin dealers.
"Well, I'm a little good and bad, let's go and prepare, and when you come next time, brother, there should be a lot." ”
It was not Lao Zhang who spoke, but Lao Wang, the ticket seller. Paper money is not only available to numismatic dealers, but also to this ticket dealer.
"Okay, everybody's rich!"
Leaving with a bag of four pounds of silver dollars, this trip to Huiji Road was considered to have gained something, but he was still thinking about the bronze plate in his mind.
It is very important to keep the end of the hand clean, otherwise it is better not to do it! The whole Huiji Road is full of antiques only knows that he may be a buyer from Beijing, a mouthful of Beijing-style Mandarin, in case of talking about the antique world in Beijing, he can also say one, two, three, and the camouflage is excellent.
In his previous life, he mixed in the capital and knew how to do it.
…….
At six o'clock in the evening, Zhang Nan walked into the Shanghai Railway Station with a mountaineering bag and a suitcase full of tea.
I wanted to curse when I just got the train ticket last night, but I still have to wait until I get home to settle accounts with the bastards at the power plant! The soft sleeper is a soft sleeper, or a lower bunk, but Nima is from Shanghai to the capital of Jin Province and Bingzhou City, and he will transfer trains at that time.
Buyers who go out are afraid of changing trains, and many times it is simply a nightmare! Zhang Nan directly ignored the actual situation that he and Lao Ying went to Wutai last time to transfer cars, and wanted to scold people!
I remember that a few decades later, there were five trains in Shanghai, and I don't know if this line is not open now or I can't buy a ticket, anyway, I want to make myself miserable!
The train station is always crowded with people, asking the staff, walking quickly into the soft sleeper waiting room with the ticket, and there is no security check at all.
Now it's clean, and there aren't many people in the comfortable waiting room - they all look like they're either high-level or "high and rich", not at the level of the deputy hall or above or the relationship is hard enough, you can't buy a ticket!
There were also two foreigners and an interpreter sitting opposite him, and they could understand most of the conversation, American English.
Sitting on the soft back sofa and the hot tea brought by the waiter, it was comfortable.
Zhang Nan, who was dressed in fashionable clothes, didn't look particularly strange here, like a returned overseas Chinese, except that the color of his mountaineering bag was a bit eye-catching, and it also provoked a few Yankees to take a few more looks.
Listening to the chatter in English, Zhang Nan frowned, and couldn't help but say: "I'mnotaspecialforce, acustompackage. )”
What kind of person is this?! These people on the other side still think they are some kind of Chinese special forces: for the convenience of taking the car, he changed into a whole set of jackets before going out in the guest house, and wore high-top mountaineering shoes similar to military boots under his feet, plus the army-green mountaineering bag and tall and sturdy figure, which is not much different from the common special forces in foreign movies.
In this Huaxia, such people are really rare.
At this time, the people on the other side were uncomfortable, smiled awkwardly, and apologized for the misunderstanding.
I didn't bother to pay attention to it, and after a while, the waiter informed me that I could check in the ticket and get on the bus.
As soon as I entered the platform, I saw an old-fashioned green car, and there were no other passengers on the platform except for the conductor and the twenty or so people who came out of the soft sleeper waiting room.
The soft sleeper is on the bus in advance, which is considered a special treatment.
Walking into the No. 5 box and seeing that the floor under the bunk was very clean, I only took out a thermos cup and two bottles of Coke and put them on the small table, and stuffed the hiking bag and suitcase under the bunk.
After sitting for a while and seeing that no one came in again, he simply walked out of the box and saw an old man standing in the aisle, probably a retired cadre. didn't bother, and saw through the window that the platform was already crowded, so he simply got off the train.
The conductor of the sleeper car stood under the boarding door, looked very good at it, and asked: "Excuse me, I am in the No. 5 box, and I am the only one at present, is it reserved?"
The conductor had long noticed this tall, handsome, and fashionably dressed passenger.
When he heard a standard Mandarin, he politely replied: "Yes, the train is reserved, but only two are reserved." How else can you help?"
That's what it means to not sell at all.
"No, thank you. ”
Seeing the dense crowd in front of the hard-seat carriage across the dining car in front of him, Zhang Nan shook his head: It will be the same decades later, except for high-speed rail, this ordinary train seems to be so crowded forever.
The time was about the same, and I didn't wait for the conductor to urge, I got on the train and returned to the box, I just hoped that the person in the box was not a big man.
It wasn't until a few minutes before the drive was left that the people from the same box came!
It's not a big man, but a small, long-haired woman with a hat and sunglasses.
