After making a decision, Meng Zitao recalled his previous entanglements, and smiled a little bitterly in his heart, feeling that he was still too petty, and some aspects of his personality had not changed much from before he got the ability.

In fact, with his current ability, what can he do even if he has some extra money?

Of course, what he thought just now, money is still secondary, the most important thing is to know, what is the character of that old man, don't help when the time comes, and finally do something like Qian Dexiang, it will be disgusting.

Although Qian Dexiang's kind of people are a minority, from ancient times to the present, there are not a few people who oppose the purpose of money, and he really doesn't want to face it again.

Now, Meng Zitao plans to investigate it first, if it is consistent with what Lao Yang said, and the old man's conduct is no problem, then he will think of a better solution.

But in any case, in a situation like the old man, they definitely can't give money or things. As the old saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts, and if you really give them a lot of money, it will not help them, but harm them.

Meng Zitao turned around and walked towards the next lot, but at this moment, his heart was much more relaxed, and if he encountered similar things in the future, he also had a reference.

Just like Lao Yang said, when encountering this kind of thing, within the scope of his ability, he will definitely be able to help. But he is not a saint and a gentleman, and he does not need to use strict standards to restrain himself, as long as he can have a clear conscience.

Meng Zitao appraised the lots in the exhibition hall, and if he came across something that Shu Ze might like, he took a picture with his mobile phone. Wait a while and then use the computer to send it to Shuze.

And so, when the time reached half past nine. Meng Zitao took a look at the things in the exhibition hall, at this time. There were no more lots to bring in.

So, Meng Zitao went to the car to get a laptop, passed the information to Shu Ze, let him choose it, and sent it to him by text message.

Walking to the temporarily prepared auction hall with the army, Meng Zitao received his bidding number, and saw Zhang Jingqiang chatting with his friends.

As soon as Zhang Jingqiang saw Meng Zitao coming in, he hurriedly said hello to his friends, and then greeted Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao asked with a smile, "Brother Zhang." You've seen it all so quickly?"

Zhang Jingqiang laughed: "I have already written down the number I like, and the rest is up to you." ”

"Then you'll have to give me a slap fee. Meng Zitao said with a smile.

"Hey, little meaning. Zhang Jingqiang patted his chest, and smiled and handed the number he wrote down to Meng Zitao.

In addition to the number, there is also a name on it, and Meng Zitao took a look at it, marked out the problematic ones, and wrote down the market reference prices for the remaining lots.

Meng Zitao returned the paper and said, "There are a few of them. I've also picked it out for Aze, and if he likes it then, then you can negotiate it yourself. ”

Zhang Jingqiang looked at the annotation and seemed very satisfied. smiled: "This is easy to say, and the two of us will negotiate separately then." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and looked at the surroundings with no one. He asked, "When will we get the license of the auction company in place?"

Zhang Jingqiang said: "This is to ask Shu Shao, but." I think with his ability, he can do it in one day. How did you come up with the idea to ask about this?"

Meng Zitao said: "I am mainly worried. After a while, they talk about qualifications. ”

Zhang Jingqiang nodded: "It's possible, but it's not impossible to solve it, it's a big deal." In addition, now that I think about it, with Xi Zhengzhen's character, if he can't get his wish, he will definitely not let us get his wish. ”

Meng Zitao thought for a while and said with a smile: "We didn't expect this kind of idea, but fortunately, if we don't get our wish, it won't be much of a loss." ”

Zhang Jingqiang nodded: "Then you say, should we temporarily insert a bar, or let the wind out now?"

"Brother Zhang, you are a big boss, do you still understand the reason for surprise?" Meng Zitao said with a smile.

Zhang Jingqiang smiled: "Hehe, I don't know what kind of expression Xi Zhengzhen will have when they come." ”

Meng Zitao saw that there were more and more people around, and when it was not time to speak, he said: "Let's go, let's go to Uncle Wang and them, you will have to do me a favor in a while." ”

"What's the busy?"

"I'll talk about it later......"

After the two met with Wang Zhixuan, Shu Ze also sent the lot number he liked, and seeing that there was a mark that Zhang Jingqiang liked, Meng Zitao asked Zhang Jingqiang to discuss with Shu Ze himself.

In just a few minutes, the hall was already full.

At ten o'clock, the auctioneer said something more official and announced that the morning auction would start on time.

However, the first lot of the auction surprised Meng Zitao and caused an uproar in the hall.

The first lot is a set of six new coins, namely "5,000 for 1,000 Blades, 500 for Deed Cloth, 200 for Cloth Fabric, 300 for Cloth for Fines, 400 for Preface Cloth, and 500 for Chabu".

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne and became the emperor and changed the name of the country to a new one. When Wang Mang was the emperor, the currency system was very chaotic, the style was peculiar, there were many varieties, and the materials used for coinage were gold, silver, copper, shellfish, turtle, skin, etc.

In order to change this appearance, after Wang Mang became emperor, he cast the golden wrong knife "one knife flat five thousand".

This money is very much like a common key in life, the head of the knife is like a square hole round money, the knife body is straight and flat, the round money is engraved with "one", the next is engraved with "knife", the word is engraved with yin, the word is filled with gold, and it is polished, so that the word is flush with the money surface. The knife body is cast with the three characters of "Ping 5,000", of which "Ping" means "value", which means that the value of a knife coin is equal to 5,000.

According to historical records, this money was cast in the second year of Wang Mang's residence, which was made of bronze, and the gold wrong knife money was stipulated at that time to be five baht coins of five thousand pieces, and two pieces could be exchanged for one pound of gold.

At that time, Wang Mang "forbade the princes to not take gold", and he cast gold with the wrong knife, the main purpose was to loot the people's gold. The casting of the gold knife is very delicate and neat, but because of the small amount of casting, the circulation time is short, so there are not many generations, and it has always been a treasure in the spring world.

In addition, in addition to a knife of five thousand, Wang Mang also cast "five hundred deed knives" and "Daquan fifty" at that time, of which "deed knife five hundred" is also relatively rare and very precious.

The remaining four cloth coins are four of the ten cloths of Xinmang, although there are many more surviving than the first two currencies, but they are also relatively precious.

Mencius had very good eyesight now, and although he was sitting in his seat, he could clearly see that the six Xinmang coins were in relatively perfect condition. In this way, the value of this group of coins is certainly not low, at least two or three hundred thousand.

You must know that although the auctions organized by the association are relatively famous, they can only be regarded as small and medium-sized auctions at most, and the objects of two or three hundred thousand yuan are already very good.

However, such a lot did not appear in the exhibition hall at all just now, and now it is directly ranked in the first place to bid, which is an unprecedented thing, and it is strange that everyone will feel comfortable.

In the midst of the discussion, a short and fat middle-aged man stood up, arched his hand to everyone, and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry for this, but I brought this lot by myself, and due to time constraints, I didn't have time to get it to the exhibition hall. However, I can guarantee that there is no problem with this set of coins, and if something goes wrong, I will be responsible for the end, so please feel free to bid. ”

The person who spoke was Xi Zhengzhen, although he had some opinions on his attitude towards antiques, but Meng Zitao still admired his friends.

As soon as his voice fell, half of the voices in the hall disappeared, and some people only muttered a few words because of Xi Zhengzhen's face.

Of course, not everyone is really interested in Xi Zhengzhen, for example, Lao Yang, so he said with a big grin: "Shopkeeper Xi, we will definitely welcome you to pack tickets, but in our business, it's not just the genuine product that can be valuable, and the completeness of the quality is also very important, shouldn't we take a look?"

Someone immediately took over and said: "Yes, this must be seen, otherwise in the end, I just bought some embroidered pillows, isn't it unlucky?"

"Yes, yes, that's ......"

Xi Zhengzhen was a little unhappy with Lao Yang's questioning in his heart, but on the surface, he still seemed very kind and said: "Of course there is no problem with this matter, I have discussed it with President Yu, and everyone can come to the stage to appraise it in a while." ”

When Wang Zhixuan heard this, he was very angry, this kind of thing, he didn't say a word to him, who was he? But thinking that after all, he now represents the face of the antique world in Ling City, if he quarrels over this matter, it is easy for outsiders to laugh, so he didn't attack on the spot.

Next, whether they were interested or not, everyone went on stage to observe them one by one, but due to the time constraints, everyone couldn't get started.

After a while, Meng Zitao walked back to his original position from the stage, and then leaned into Zhang Jingqiang's ear and whispered: "Brother Zhang, you'd better take pictures of them for a while." ”

Zhang Jingqiang's eyes lit up: "What, is there something good hidden in it?"

Meng Zitao smiled and said, "There is nothing good." ”

"Then you ......"

Zhang Jingqiang was a little puzzled at first, but immediately he understood what Meng Zitao meant, and smiled: "Okay, we'll help the shopkeeper Wang vent his anger in a while." ”

Wang Zhixuan vaguely heard Zhang Jingqiang seem to be talking about him, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Jingqiang smiled and said, "It's nothing. ”

As soon as Wang Zhixuan saw Zhang Jingqiang's appearance, he knew that something was wrong, but now that the auction was about to start, he didn't say much.

Once everyone was seated, the auctioneer gave a brief introduction to the coins and then announced that the auction had begun.

"Thirty thousand!"

"Thirty-five thousand!"

“……”

Due to Xi Zhengzhen's guarantee, everyone had a high enthusiasm for these new coins, and in just a moment, the price of this group of coins rose to 250,000, and at this time, the quotation on the scene became sparse. (To be continued.) )
