Chapter 03: Door-to-door buyers
Royal commemorative coins?
Hearing these words, Lin Yang's heart was ecstatic.
Originally, he thought that this peddler was a knowledgeable person, but now he found that this guy was just a layman and did not understand the value of this Xianfeng Tongbao at all.
However, it is no wonder that the number of copper coins left in the Qing Dynasty is extremely wide, and the scattered copper coins placed at the door of those antique shops on the street are basically genuine, three or five yuan each, which is not worth anything.
But scarcity is expensive, but if this thing is extremely rare, its value will be speculated.
In the past two years, not to mention the mother money of Xianfeng Baoquan Bureau, the price of copper coins in the period of several other emperors has also been rising. Moreover, during the period of Emperor Xianfeng, the world was in turmoil, and there were not many copper coins that were originally minted, and the mother coins that could be left have basically become the collections of museums around the world.
"I have a store to open, I heard that hanging copper coins can attract wealth, boss, you can make a price, I think it's appropriate, don't talk nonsense, buy it directly." ”
Lin Yang made up a reasonable reason, otherwise this would make this peddler understand that this copper coin was different, and he would definitely be reluctant to sell it to himself.
The peddler burst out laughing.
"This little brother is such a cheerful person. However, this salty and rich treasure, the size of ten folds is not common, so let's do it, five thousand, a fixed price!"
Everyone was stunned, and a thin discussion began to appear in the crowd.
"The asking price is too high, a copper coin, and it's not a precious porcelain. ”
"That's right, the antique shop Cuiweilou next to it, grab a hundred yuan at will! ”
"This young man looks like he has not entered the WTO deeply, I am afraid that he will be pitted. ”
Lin Yang was not much surprised when he heard this peddler.
Because he knew in his heart that the price of this salty treasure was far above five thousand. He bought it directly with this money, and then sold it, and he could make a lot of money.
But once the five thousand was spent, Lin Yang only had three hundred yuan left on him, which made him feel a little bottomless.
"The price of five thousand is a little inflated, see if you can make a little ......"
Seeing that the young man was hesitant, a hint of disdain appeared in the peddler's eyes.
He originally thought that this guy in front of him was a rich second generation with a lot of money and stupidity.
For him, those rich wronged bosses will not be slaughtered for nothing!
"Little brother, this price really can't be made, five thousand is already the lowest price. "The hawker still chose to bite the price.
At this time, Lin Yang put the copper coin back and asked again.
"How can you buy it when you sell it so expensive? It's more expensive than everyone else in the store!"
Lin Yang's tone looked very dissatisfied.
But this tone surprised the hawker, looking at this momentum, is this guy in front of him still a knowledgeable person?
"That's it, count you four thousand five!"
The hawker's mouth loosened slightly.
As soon as the words fell, a final price popped out of Lin Yang's mouth.
"Two thousand! If it's okay, I'll take it, if it doesn't work, then forget it!"
Lin Yang's tone seemed very relaxed, as if it didn't matter if he bought it or not. He was gambling, betting that this peddler did not understand the market price of Xianfeng Chongbao.
But once the bet is lost, he loses this leakage game.
Although Lin Yang has killed the price to less than half, many unfamiliar antiques on the scene still don't understand how anyone would spend 2,000 yuan to buy a copper.
"Does this kid have a problem with his brain, money buys money, it's too much of a loss. ”
"Maybe someone is a rich second generation, so they spend money to buy a good time. ”
"This kid has a bit of rich charm between his eyebrows, but this is ...... You say it's a rich man, and I don't believe it!"
The peddler's eyes rolled, the copper coin he had received from an old man as brass, but it was only a few dozen yuan. Later, from the pile of copper coins, the peddler found this salty treasure.
I didn't expect that I would make a blind offer, and there were really people who were willing to take the bait.
For hawkers, a few dozen yuan can earn two thousand, which can be regarded as picking up a small leak, not a loss!
"Okay, then I'll lose a little, and this antique will make a lot of money, how can I make any money? Brother, let me tell you, you've made a lot of money. ”
The peddler sighed, feeling like he had lost millions, and wrapped it for Lin Yang.
He used a red rope to pass through the square hole in the middle of the copper coin, and then put it into a small box covered with yellow cloth.
Lin Yang took out a wad of money, counted a total of twenty pieces from it, and put away the rest of the money.
"Boss, the money is here. ”
As soon as the money is paid and the treasure is given, the transaction is completed.
The vendor took the money, and saw that Lin Yang still had a pile of thick banknotes left, revealing a greedy gaze.
"Little brother, let's see if there is anything you like. The second piece, I can give you the best price!"
In front of his stall, there are probably more than 100 antiques of different categories, but almost all of them are imitations, dull and worthless!
"Alright, one copper coin is enough. ”
The rest of the piles of things, none of them are valuable, and Lin Yang doesn't want to be wronged.
He took the coin, slowly squeezed out, and began to walk away under the strange gaze of everyone.
At this time, a white-bearded old man followed Lin Yang's steps.
Lin Yang walked around the antique street, but couldn't find any place to dispose of this copper coin.
He touched his pocket, and remembered the number nine pawnshop before. However, when the copper coin arrived at the pawn shop, the price dropped by at least half.
But this treasure, unless you can find a buyer who likes to collect, whether it is an antique shop pawn shop or a black market, the price will be very low.
Thinking about it, he walked to the corner, turned another corner, and began to turn back to the pawn shop.
Although the fat boss lowered the price, at least he was not a liar, and he could redeem the watch he pressed in the pawn shop.
Just as he was about to step through the door of Pawn Shop Nine again, there was a shout behind him.
"Little friends stay, little friends stay!"
The voice was thick and atmospheric, like that of an old pedant who had been studying a certain field for a long time.
He turned his head and saw an old man with gray sideburns, this old man was wearing a gray tunic, which looked retro and ordinary.
But through the old man's deep eyes, Lin Yang could conclude that this person's identity was by no means simple.
He asked, stunned.
"What's the matter?"
The old man ran a few steps forward, arrived in front of Lin Yang, and exhaled heavily.
"Little friend, I want to buy something with you. The old man smiled slightly.
Lin Yang took out the exquisite little box.
"You want to buy this?"
He didn't expect that he was thinking of the pawn shop to sell this thing, and the buyer actually took the initiative to come to the door.
Could it be that just now, the old man also saw the value of this copper coin?
If this is the case, Lin Yang can be sure that this old man is a master of treasure appreciation, and he also knows the rules very well.
In front of the hawker stall before, many antique whites talked back and forth, commenting endlessly, which is taboo in the antique market!
And Guanqi is silent, the Chinese antique market, since ancient times, buying and selling is only a matter between the two parties, buying and selling profits, once the transaction is reached, no matter what, you can't regret it.
No one is allowed to interject. If this old man really understands the value of this salty and heavy treasure mother's money, and does not come to buy it, it means that he is very disciplined.
This is no longer common in today's world.
Most of the scenes are where you miss a treasure and someone who knows how to do it will immediately come to bid, turning the antique market directly into an auction house.
The old man nodded, still with a kind smile on his face.
"Little friend, the owner of this pawn shop is an old friend of mine, let's go in and talk. ”
The old man invited Lin Yang like a master.
The sun is already out outside, it's very hot, the house is air-conditioned, and maybe you can drink a cup of sweet tea.
"Okay, let's go in and talk. ”
As soon as the two of them entered, the guy in the store showed a surprised expression on his face when he saw the old man beside Lin Yang, and even shouted.
"Boss Zhong, Boss Zhong! Mr. Xu is here, Mr. Xu Guoliang, the director of the Yuzhou Museum, is here!"
