Chapter 653: Coin Four Looks
Fang Yi's antique shop is connected by two connected shops, the front is a counter and a Bogu shelf for selling antiques, and the back is separated from a reception room, which is specially used to receive large customers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the reception room is not large, with only three sofas and a coffee table, it is very elegantly furnished, surrounded by Bogu shelves as partitions, and the shelves are filled with all kinds of antiques, from ceramics to bronzes, which looks very stylish.
Of course, these antiques on the Bogu shelf are imitations, unless the Manjun is kicked by a donkey, the real thing will be placed here, you know, even those century-old shops in the capital will not put the real thing on the counter.
"Brother Man, is it convenient to come in?" Fang Yi knocked a few times on the door of the cubicle.
"Fang Yi, why are you here?" The door opened from the inside, Man Jun looked at Fang Yi in surprise, and said, "It's so crowded outside, how did you come here?"
"You said it, naturally you squeezed over......" Fang Yi smiled when he heard this, but his eyes looked at the person sitting on the sofa inside.
The man looked to be thirty-seven or eighteen years old, very thin, with a sharp mouth and sunken cheeks, and the clothes he wore were very ordinary, except for the pair of dripping eyes, he belonged to the kind of character who was very inconspicuous in the crowd.
"Come, Fang Yi, let me introduce you to ......"
Man Jun pointed to the man on the sofa and said, "This is Boss Hou Jingchen, who usually travels around Sichuan Province, and is here to take care of our business, Boss Hou, his name is Fang Yi, and he is a partner in my shop......
"This man's surname matches his looks very well......"
Hearing Manjun's introduction, Fang Yi couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but Fang Yi didn't have the slightest disdain for this person, because judging from the other party's face, this Boss Hou was definitely not a person who was easy to get along with.
People with such a face, both men and women, are people who chase fame and fortune, have a cunning and ruthless style, are scheming, and never consider the interests and influences of others, and all the thoughts in their heads are based on themselves.
Moreover, in order to achieve the goal, this kind of person even does whatever it takes, and even the seller does not hesitate to contact this kind of person, and he may not know when he will be sold one day.
"It turned out to be Boss Fang, and he was really young and promising......"
Hou Jingchen, who originally saw Fang Yi come in, had a vigilant look on his face, stood up and shook Fang Yi's hand, his face also softened, he was also a person from the antique shop, so he naturally knew Fang Yi's reputation recently, but he didn't expect Fang Yi to be so young.
"Boss Hou has won the award...... Fang Yi arched his hand with a smile, looked at each other with his eyes, and said, "Boss Hou, is this going to see the goods or ship today?"
"Fang Yi, you came just in time, I can't see what Boss Hou is taking, I'm a little unsure......" Man Jun opened his mouth and interjected, "Boss Hou, Fang Yi is Teacher Yu's disciple, is it good for you to let him palm his eyes?"
Fang Yi's arrival was really like timely rain for the Manchu army, because he had just looked at the objects brought by Hou Jingchen for a long time, and he didn't see a meridian coming, and the Manchu army had clearly seen the look of disdain on Hou Jingchen's face.
"I've heard about this, Boss Fang, I don't know if you have any research on ancient coins?"
After hearing Manjun's words, Hou Jingchen didn't take out anything, but asked Fang Yi, with a somewhat elegant tone in his words, in his opinion, Manjun, who is a well-known person in the antique shop, didn't see his own objects, and Fang Yi, a hairy young man, was afraid that he couldn't see it.
"Don't dare to do research, you know a little bit about the spring realm...... Fang Yi laughed when he heard this, he just got three Xiwang reward coins in Jin Province not long ago, and he didn't want to return to Jinling and meet people who sell ancient coins, could it be that he had his fortune during this time?
"Okay, the person who can say the two words of the spring realm is a fellow believer!"
The people in the line speak thoroughly at one point, as the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains, not people who know something about ancient coin collections, I'm afraid they can't even understand what the spring realm means, hearing these two words from Fang Yi's mouth, Hou Jingchen's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Boss Fang, take a look at this object, maybe it can be eye-catching?" Hou Jingchen sat back on the sofa as he spoke, and opened a tray covered with a red cloth on the coffee table in front of him, and in the middle of the tray was a rusty coin.
"Okay, then I'll be ugly......" Fang Yi was not polite, sat on the sofa and put on a pair of white gloves placed there, and picked up a coin from the tray.
"Huh? This ...... This is the reward of the King of the West?"
Fang Yi had such eyesight, although the rust on the coin almost covered up the words, but from the direction of the gesture that was revealed, Fang Yi still recognized the origin of the coin in his hand at a glance.
What's more, at this time, Fang Yi had three West King reward coins in his pocket, after this period of play, Fang Yi knew this coin well, but as soon as he got his hands on it, he knew that the West King reward on his fingertips was also genuine.
This discovery made Fang Yi's face a little strange, the Xiwang Reward, who only appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, has always been considered to be a unique product in the Spring Realm, but Fang Yi has encountered three or four pieces in succession in the past half a month, which also makes Fang Yi feel that the name of the West King's Reward is a little unworthy of the name.
"Mr. Fang, good eyesight!"
Hou Jingchen, who was sitting opposite Fang Yi, obviously didn't expect Fang Yi to see this coin so easily, and couldn't help but show a stunned look in his eyes, you know, just now the Manjun took a magnifying glass to look at it for a long time, and he couldn't see that this was the West King's reward money.
"Xiwang reward, is Zhang Xianzhong's Xiwang reward?" Hearing the conversation between Fang Yi and Hou Jingchen, Man Jun couldn't help but exclaim, although his level of identifying coins was not very good, but he had heard of the name of Xiwang's reward for merit, a great treasure in the spring world.
"That's right, it's the West King's reward!" Hou Jingchen nodded and said, "Since Boss Fang is an expert, then I won't talk nonsense, I don't know if you are interested in this money?"
"I'm interested, I'm so interested!"
Before Fang Yi could speak, the Manchu army shouted, he never thought that this inconspicuous-looking coin was actually the only product in the Spring Realm Xiwang Reward, even if the quality of this money was a little different, Manjun was also excited, and the rust spots on the surface of this Xiwang Reward were not impossible to remove.
"Boss Hou, how much do you want for this money?" Man Jun didn't mean to ask Fang Yi, so he directly asked the starting price.
The ancient coin collection is not the same as other objects, if you can have a fifty treasured object, it will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the spring world, if the news of the West King's reward in his hand spreads, I am afraid that the coin collectors of the whole country will hear about it.
"Two hundred thousand!"
Hou Jingchen stretched out two fingers, looked at Man Jun's eyes and said: "Boss Man, you are also a knowledgeable person, as long as this money is repaired, the value is at least more than one million, and the price I want is not high......"
"The price is not high, but to what extent it can be repaired, it's hard to say......
After hearing the other party's offer, the Manchu army hesitated a little, the collection of ancient coins usually has four looks, and these four looks can often determine the value of the coin.
First, it is natural to look at the historical value of coins, rare ancient coins are the physical objects of monetary history, but also the witness of history, so before collecting, we must first figure out the status of coins in history and some special historical significance.
The second look is to look at the circulation of ancient coins, some short-lived dynasties or peasant uprisings when the coinage, due to the short circulation time, small circulation, most of the collection is a rare treasure, and such as the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties of these coins, because of the large circulation of the world, the value will be greatly discounted.
Measure the value of ancient coins, but also look at the culture of coins, some of the categories that have been handed down are not too few, they are mainly favored because of their cultural taste and artistic value, such as the Northern Song Dynasty when Renzong cast the nine-fold seal calligraphy "Spring Body Tongbao", which is the earliest art word in China, for the collection of treasures.
The most important of the four looks, but the fourth look, that is, to see the quality of the coin, whether the coin is rare or not, where there is a blurred surface, the outline of the defect, the rust is serious, the look is poor, its value must also be discounted, you know, even the words of the coin can not be seen clearly, how to talk about the collection.
Therefore, after hearing Hou Jingchen's offer, the Manchu army would be so hesitant, because the condition of this coin is so poor that if it can't be repaired, let alone 200,000 yuan, I'm afraid no one will be willing to take it over.
"If I fix it myself, it will be more than this price......" Hou Jingchen took back the Xiwang reward in Fang Yi's hand, and said: "Boss Man, this is the first time we have dealt with each other, and the business is not benevolent, if you don't want it, I will take it back." ”
"This ......" Man Jun looked at Fang Yi with a tangled expression, his eyes were full of grievances, and he said that you can see this thing, if you want to buy it, you can say something.
"Boss Hou, let's think about it......" Fang Yi gave the Manjun a look and said, "I'm going to ask the teacher to see how likely it is that this West King Reward will be repaired, and then let's talk about it, okay?"
"What Fang Yi said makes sense, Boss Hou, otherwise you can live down first, and all the expenses for eating and drinking will be considered to be full of someone, what do you think?"
After hearing Fang Yi's words, Man Jun nodded hurriedly, to be honest, although the quality of this West King Reward is not very good, if he misses it, Man Jun is afraid that he will regret it in the future, because a unique product like this is really something that can be encountered but not sought.
"Okay, then I'll stay in Jinling for another three days......" Hou Jingchen thought for a moment and said, "If Boss Man still can't make up his mind, let's make friends......
"What Boss Hou said is that buying and selling is not benevolent, and I will be the east at night, which can be regarded as a catch for Boss Hou......"
Man Jun was overjoyed when he heard this, his level of identifying cultural relics was not very good, but he was very flexible in business, and said at the moment, "I will open a room for Boss Hou in Jinling Hotel, you can go over later and sign up directly to get the room card, and you will be there at night to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Boss Hou!"
"The boss is polite, but Hou is disrespectful!"
Hou Jingchen is still very satisfied with the arrangement of the Manchu army, although he is not short of the money for staying in the hotel, but the Manchu army is doing this to show that he is giving himself face, and it also shows that the other party attaches great importance to it, and the possibility of a deal is still very large.
