Chapter 5: Selling the Five Emperors' Money
The next day, Hu Zheng lifted the quilt and revealed strings of Five Emperors coins.
Last night, Hu Zheng was holding the money of the five emperors and slept a fortune.
After getting up, Hu Zheng took five strings of five emperor coins and put them in his leather bag of artificial leather.
Hu Zheng hid the remaining five strings in a dark room that he had dug up.
Afraid of damage, Hu Zheng wrapped it in a cotton coat and put it in the hole.
After finishing his work, Hu Zheng locked the door, took the five sets of five emperor money, and went to the antique street in Wenhan City.
There is a street in Wenhan City, which enters from the small bridge opposite the six small schools, winds along the lake, zigzags and turns all the way to Zhongshan Park Road. The street is not wide, two meters in the narrow part and five or six meters in the wide place. This is the famous "antique street" in Wenhan City, similar to the Liulichang in Beijing and the Shuyuanmen in Xi'an, but the scale is much smaller than these two antique markets.
Hu Zheng first learned about the street three years ago.
In that year, Wenhan Square held a strange stone exhibition to display and sell all kinds of jade, which was unprecedented.
When Hu Zheng visited the fair, he heard that there were a lot of things on the antique street opposite, so he looked for the past and took a look.
I remember at that time, walking across the small bridge, it was really another world, only to see all kinds of stalls selling antiques and high imitation handicrafts lined up, all kinds of antiques, imitations, handicrafts, dazzling, so many varieties, so many types.
It can be described in one sentence, "There is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy." "The main ones sold on the street are porcelain, jade, bronze and huanghuali.
Since then, Hu Zheng has become a frequent visitor here – just looking at it, not buying it.
The antique street has stall owners to occupy the place to set up stalls at five or six o'clock in the morning every day, more than seven o'clock, many antique lovers come here one after another to "Taobao", nine or ten o'clock more people, bustling, rubbing shoulders, very lively.
At the corner of the antique street is a used book stall. Later, lined up inside, there are those who sell porcelain, bronze, jade, and ancient coins.
Hu Zheng walked to the innermost corner, almost out of the antique street, and entered Zhongshan Road, only to see a shop with a "cash cabinet" plaque.
The owner of this shop is Mr. Qian Wen, who has a numismatic family in Wenhan.
When Hu Zheng stepped into the "cash cabinet", he saw Mr. Qian sitting there drinking tea.
"Xiao Hu is here, come over for tea. ”
Seeing Hu Zheng, Mr. Qian shouted.
Hu Zheng greeted a woman in her forties at the counter: "Hello Auntie!"
This woman is the daughter of Mr. Qian.
And this woman's daughter, Huang Lingling, is Hu Zheng's college classmate.
"Xiaohu, I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been?" asked Huang's mother.
Hu Zheng said: "I went to work. ”
Huang's mother crooked her mouth: "You kid, you are studying cultural relics, but you go to work as a salesman, aren't you wasting your profession." Lingling said, introduce you to the antique shop, but you don't go. ”
Hu Zheng hurriedly said: "I want to learn how to make ideas." ”
Mr. Qian nodded: "It's a good consideration! I go to someone's antique shop and work part-time." To do business, you must first learn to do business. ”
Mr. Qian asked Hu Zheng to sit down and brought Hu Zheng a cup of tea.
Hu Zheng thanked and drank the tea, and then spoke: "Grandpa Qian, I went back some time ago and bought a batch of goods. ”
"What's the goods, and another batch?" asked Huang's mother.
Hu Zheng picked up the bag next to him and opened the zipper.
Very carefully, he took out a string of five emperor coins from it.
When Hu Zheng took the bag to pick up the goods, Mr. Qian looked at it with a smile, and it was hard for him to believe that Hu Zheng could find good things.
The corners of Huang's mother's mouth are even more crooked.
However, when the string of Five Emperor coins appeared, Old Man Qian's eyes lit up.
Huang's mother muttered, "No, it's fake!"
Hu Zheng put the string of five emperor coins on a coffee table on the left hand side of Mr. Qian.
Then, let go and take three steps back.
Only then did he make a gesture: "Please ask Grandpa Qian to help identify it." ”
Mr. Qian nodded and did not do it directly.
Instead, he carefully swept his eyes on the Five Emperors' coins.
Then, with a pout, he put on his gloves and went to take the five emperor coins with both hands.
Mr. Qian looked at every Tongbao for a few minutes.
Only then did he put down the Five Emperors Qian and exhaled: "The quality is excellent! ”
When Huang's mother heard this, she immediately came out of the counter.
She is also like Mr. Qian, who first watched it for a few minutes, and then got started for a few minutes.
In the end, Huang's mother said excitedly: "Xiaohu, can you transfer this string of Five Emperor Money to us." ”
Hu Zheng nodded: "Aunt Huang, I brought it to your family." ”
At this time, someone outside the door shouted: "Old Qian, what good things have you entered?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white-haired old man appeared in the store.
Hu Zheng knows this person, but people don't know Hu Zheng.
This old man is Mr. Liu Xiang, who is known as a collector in Wenhan.
Mr. Liu Xiang is the vice president of the Wenhan Collectors Association.
After Mr. Liu Xiang, a man in his forties also entered, this person is called Wang Hai, an entrepreneur in Wenhan. The family property is hundreds of millions.
Moreover, this entrepreneur, loves to collect antiques.
As soon as Mr. Liu Xiang came in, his eyes looked at Mr. Qian's coffee table.
After that, he walked over quickly, climbed on the coffee table, and looked at the Five Emperors' Money.
And Wang Hai, also behind him, squatted down.
Wang Hai looked at the Five Emperor Coins, turned his head and asked Mr. Liu Xiang: "How can there be such a new Five Emperor Coins? ”
Mr. Liu Xiang shook his head: "This is the real thing!
When Wang Hai heard this, he immediately said to Huang's mother: "Old sister, how about transferring this string of Five Emperor coins to me? ”
The Five Emperor Money is a spiritual weapon and a magic object, which has both the power of the emperor and the god of the nation. In ancient times, the folk belief was the idea of divine authority of kings, believing that the power of the emperor was granted by heaven, and only the emperor was the embodiment of the god who communicated heaven and earth. The Five Emperor Qian is the embodiment of such an imperial domineering and Chinese spirit, and has achieved a great cause.
The Five Emperor Coins have all the functions of ancient money, such as avoiding disasters, blessings, and praying for blessings. However, compared with ordinary ancient coins, whether it is the big five emperor coins or the small five emperor coins, they more gather the aura of the Chinese land, the aura of the Chinese nation, the aura of the true son of heaven, and the aura of the inheritance of hundreds of schools.
It is precisely because the Five Emperor Coins are spiritual weapons that the Five Emperor Coins are in short supply in the market.
Huang's mother was immediately unwilling: "This was specially transferred to my family by Xiaohu." ”
When Wang Hai heard this, he was very disappointed, and he fought again: "I'll give 5,000 yuan a string." ”
Mr. Qian is not like Huang's mother, he looked at Hu Zheng: "The money of the Five Emperors is yours, you decide." ”
Hu Zheng took out another string from his purse.
When Wang Hai saw it, he immediately took it and tasted it with Mr. Qian and Liu Xiang.
"It's also true. Liu Xiang sighed and said.
Wang Hai stared at Hu Zheng: "Your leather bag is like a cornucopia." How many good things are there? ”
