Four or five years ago, this kind of small silver ingot was worth at least 4,000 yuan, but now the price has tripled to 12,000, and Mo Xie asked for 8,000, and the price is only 70% at most, which is not high at all.
"Yes, but I want them all." Just when Mo Ye was a little impatient, the middle-aged man let go of his hand and directly agreed to Mo Ye's bid.
Mo Xie didn't need to speak, he looked directly at the other two people.
The old man knew Mo Ye's asking price, but such a high price was almost impossible in this market, so he was a little puzzled.
"Old man, or you put down your things." Mo Xie didn't speak, but the middle-aged man spoke, and he could see that the old man was suspecting him of doing tricks.
"I haven't made a bid yet." Just then, another young man spoke.
"Eight thousand, as long as you want, you can make a deal." The middle-aged man didn't want to be wronged, so he directly announced the price, and he was obviously relieved when he saw the old man's reaction.
Mo Xie looked at these people with a smile, although there are not many good things in the ghost market, the price of eight thousand is not a big business, right?
"It's too high, I give up." Mo Xie didn't speak, so he could only let the three of them intrigue, and the young man was the first to give up.
The old man opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but there were others competing, and he couldn't bargain, so he sighed and put the little silver ingot down.
The middle-aged man had a smile on his face and quickly took the other two small silver ingots in his hands.
"Boss, I've covered all your things, I don't know if we can go over there to trade, after all, tens of thousands of dollars in cash, no one will take them with them casually." At this time, the middle-aged man spoke again.
Mo Xie smiled secretly in his heart, he knew that there were deep routines in the antique shop, so he didn't want to deal with it, but since people made a move, he didn't mind bumping into the opportunity.
Mo Ye didn't make a sound, but took out four small silver ingots from his backpack again one after another, and put them on the torn newspaper in front of him in turn.
"As long as it's right, I'll want it all." The middle-aged man did not hesitate and immediately took everything in his hands.
Mo Xie didn't raise his head, but tapped the torn newspaper on the ground with his hand.
The middle-aged man frowned, Mo Xie did not move, naturally he was reluctant to move.
"In front, if you don't have money, you quickly move the place, didn't you see that the boss of the other family was unmoved?" At this time, the people who were blocked behind them finally couldn't help it.
"That's right! If you don't buy it, leave quickly, don't block here. ”
The location chosen by Mo Xie is a small corner, which is blocked by three people, and the people behind can't come over, so it's not one or two people who are in a hurry.
It's hard to produce good things in a ghost market, but as long as it's good, it's valuable, and people who often come to the ghost market understand this very well, so it's normal for someone to be in a hurry.
"Little brother, if there are any good things, we can go and sit somewhere else." At this time, the old man spoke.
"That's right! There are a lot of people here, so it's better to change places. The young man also said.
The middle-aged man also spoke again: "If the three of us look at it together, we will definitely not be able to lower the price, let alone anything else will happen." ”
Mo Xie looked at the three of them, if it was really three, of course it would be conducive to shipment, but Mo Xie didn't know them, who knew if they were in a gang?
Therefore, Mo Xie was unmoved, just knocked on the newspaper, the meaning was very clear, he was willing to trade here, he would not go anywhere.
At this time, someone behind him had already begun to push, and the middle-aged man had no choice but to say, "Wait a while, I'll ask someone to send money over." ”
Mo Ye nodded, and it didn't matter if they could see it or not, they just waited here.
Sure enough, just a few minutes later, a young man walked up and handed the middle-aged man a black suitcase.
The middle-aged man calmly opened the box and took out a bundle of unopened RMB from it, such a bundle was 100,000.
The middle-aged man took out 50,000 yuan from it, put the money on the newspaper in front of Mo Ye, and said, "Seventy-eight fifty-six, give you fifty-six, this is six thousand, the boss take a closer look." ”
Mo Xie unceremoniously picked up a stack of money and quickly clicked it, and also used the super detector to scan it.
The coins are identical, and as long as one of them is identified as genuine, there is no problem.
Finding nothing wrong, Mo Xie put the money in his backpack and stood up.
The initial goal of coming to set up a stall this time has been achieved, and if there is still a harvest, then it will be a surprise.
Just when Mo Ye wanted to leave, the young man who came to give the money spoke: "Brought so much money, just spend so little?" ”
"Don't worry, let you send money over, naturally there is a reason, this boss, the ghost market is about to end, why don't you find a place to have breakfast? I please. The middle-aged man turned around and saw that there were still some people around, so he opened his mouth and invited.
Mo Xie played with the lamp in his hand, the light shone on his hand, and Mo Ye's hand pointed at the young man at this time, to be precise, it should be the box in the young man's hand.
At this time, Mo Xie had already understood that I was afraid that all the people around him were in a group, otherwise, the old man and the young man just now would not have given up so easily.
Therefore, Mo Xie didn't want to continue to be tempted, anyway, here, these people couldn't play any tricks.
At this time, the middle-aged man, who understood what Mo Ye meant, took the black box in the young man's hand without saying a word, opened it and put it on the ground.
Mo Xie adjusted the light, and the light shone on the inside of the box, revealing a box full of red yuan, and then he respected his body and quickly checked it, there was no problem with the money, and the amount was enough.
Therefore, Mo Xie once again reached for his backpack, and quickly took out an item from it and put it on the money.
"This ...... You need to look closely, it's not a small business after all. The middle-aged man looked happy, but quickly returned to normal.
Mo Ye didn't make a sound, but pressed the straw hat on his head, he was afraid that someone would suddenly shine the light on him, although he was not afraid of revealing his true face, but it was better not to be exposed.
In the box, there was less than one million yuan, and the one hundred taels of silver ingots that Mo Xie took out in the Ming Dynasty of "Levied Chongzhen's Eleventh Year and Foot Yongtong Qijing Salt Section, Taxation Section, Silver One Hundred and Two Zhengjiang Li" was enough to exchange all the remaining renminbi.
Mo Xie patted the box, and pointed to the silver ingot in the box, the meaning was very clear, if you want, you can exchange it, and if you don't want to, forget it.
Therefore, when the middle-aged man did not move, Mo Ye's hand reached directly to the silver ingot in the box, since he was unwilling, Mo Xie didn't want to waste time.
"Wait, I need to take a closer look." Seeing Mo Ye's movements, the middle-aged man immediately said.
The silver ingot was in perfect condition, and the inscription on it could be seen clearly under the illumination of the light, so the middle-aged man was moved and did not want to give up the transaction.
However, after all, it is close to a million business, which is not careful?
"Lao Li, don't pretend, come and have a look." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said to the old man.
Mo Ye was unmoved, even if they were all in a group?
At this time, the middle-aged man and the old man had already gathered together, and the two of them were on both sides of the box, and they could both see the silver ingots inside, but others could not see anything.
"In the Ming Dynasty, the inscription of 'Levying Chongzhen for 11 years, Zuyongtong, Qijing, Salt Class, Division, Taxation Section, Silver One Hundred and Two Zhengjiang Li' is correct." As soon as the old man squatted down, the middle-aged man whispered.
"There's nothing wrong with this tax silver." The old man was quick to speak.
These two people should be veterans, it seems that there is no less handling of such silver ingots, just two simple sentences, Mo Ye put his mind at ease, Mo Ye is afraid that he will encounter someone who does not know the goods, in that way, it will be very delayed.
Whether it is an expert or not, you can hear it in a few words, such as the content of the inscription, which can be roughly divided into three categories, one is the silver ingots related to endowment, tax, solution, and tribute, which belong to the official ingots, regardless of whether these silver ingots are cast by the official furnace or not.
The other type of inscription is silver ingots such as silver buildings, furnace households, companies, and bank auspicious languages, which belong to the category of commercial silver, and the third type is the silver ingots cast in the name of individuals for private silver.
Mo Xie had read the information in this regard, but he didn't understand it too well, and now when he heard these two people say it, he immediately understood it very clearly.
"The inscriptions are engraved, the words are arranged in an orderly manner, but it feels cluttered, and these are all true." The old man quickly judged again.
"Well, the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty are very obvious." The middle-aged man also spoke.
The two of them kept discussing, Mo Ye listened, and he didn't squeak, anyway, there were so many inscriptions, no matter how they studied it, there would be no mistake.
Mo Xie came out to set up a stall, and naturally he had done his homework, so he knew that the format of the silver ingot inscriptions was different in various historical periods, and they all had their own unique characteristics.
For example, in the silver ingots of the Tang Dynasty, there were no positions such as "pedestrians" to check the fineness, and it was not until the inscriptions of the Song and Jin dynasties appeared.
The inscriptions of silver ingots in the Tang Dynasty are the same as the words on gold and silverware, as handwritten, and the silver ingots of the Song Dynasty have two kinds of engravings and stamps, the Jin Dynasty is mainly engraved with engraving, and the early Yuan Dynasty is stamped, arranged irregularly, and the back is often cast in Yin, and the late period is mainly engraved with engraving.
In the silver ingots of the Ming Dynasty, the inscriptions were rarely found to be stamped, except for "gold and silver", they were generally engraved, and the text was arranged at irregular intervals, although orderly, it still felt messy.
In ancient China, there was no currency standard, and money was minted in a parallel way of silver and copper, and silver ingots first appeared in the Han Dynasty, and began to prevail during the Ming Dynasty, and it was not until the Qing Dynasty that it became the main currency in China.
Nowadays, with the increasing popularity of numismatic collection, silver ingots have gradually become one of the focal points of people's collection, but for many novices, the identification of silver ingots has become a major problem, and the skill of reading inscriptions can help to easily identify silver ingots.
The one selected by Mo Xie must be a 100 taels of silver ingots in the Ming Dynasty, which was once auctioned, and the auction price was 1,380,000 yuan.
This kind of silver ingot, which has a clear price and can also be separated from Zhang Xianzhong's Shen Yin, is relatively easy to sell, and the price is easy to negotiate.
