Chapter 415 The First Sword in the World (1)

"Wait"

Li Yang hurriedly shouted, and the middle-aged man turned his head in surprise, glanced at Li Yang, and continued to walk forward with the box.

"Sir, please wait"

Li Yang followed quickly, and the middle-aged man stopped this time, looked at Li Yang very suspiciously, and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"Where did you get these things?"

Li Yang pointed to the ancient sword in the box, taking this opportunity he looked at it carefully for a while, the more he looked at Li Yang, the more surprised he became, just now he just glanced at it, but now he can see it all clearly, these swords are all ancient swords that perform well.

"Why do you ask this? You don't buy it."

The middle-aged man shook his head, holding the box and going forward again, Li Yang followed again.

"Wait a minute, I didn't say I wouldn't buy it, there are good ones, it's not bad to pick two"

"No, it's late, these have been ordered, I'm going to send them over now"

The middle-aged man didn't say anything to Li Yang this time, walked directly past him, and walked straight towards the second floor.

Li Yang was stunned for a while, and hurriedly called Liu Gang, Wang Jiajia and Chen Lei to chase them over.

"Boss, are those ancient swords real? Is it worth it? ”

On the way, Chen Lei didn't forget to ask Li Yang, he only looked at the old ones, and he couldn't see the others.

Li Yang paused, shook his head slowly, and said softly: "If you want to say that the value is not too high, the better ones should be able to sell for one or two thousand, and the ones that are almost two or three thousand, these are the ones I saw, and I don't know if I don't see the others."

"One or two thousand, it's worth a lot"

Chen Lei nodded slightly, but his face was a little disappointed, his current salary is only more than 5,000 yuan a month, and 10,000 or 20,000 yuan is indeed not a small amount for him. However, the value is not high compared to the antiques in his impression, and those that appear on TV shows are often in the millions.

"The value is not the most important thing for antiques, these ancient swords are not of high value, but there are them from all periods, representing different periods of culture, and it is not easy to collect so much"

Li Yang hesitated for a moment, but still said slowly, and continued to walk forward, this time the middle-aged man had already walked away.

The middle-aged man went up to the second floor and did not stop, and went directly to the third floor, and Li Yang hurriedly followed.

Ancient swords are still in the collection industry, and the value of collectibles is also rising, but the annual increase is not high, and the most sought after are those good swords with origins.

For example, the one that Zheng Kaida received in Rong Bao Zhai, if it is really the ancient sword used by Fang La, the value will definitely increase a lot, but even if it is not used by Fang La, because of its aristocratic performance, it will also be loved by many people.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this thing was also used by the nobility in ancient times, and it belonged to the boutique, and now collectors like to collect boutiques, not that they will be in a hurry to meet any old things. Many old ordinary porcelain bowls, porcelain cups and other things are not worth much, and some even cost a few hundred yuan a piece, just because of the large amount of existence, not high-quality products.

The third floor of Zhengzhou Antique City is similar to the second floor, and it is also composed of many antique shops, but the things here are more placed, and some shops are full, which looks a little messy, like a wholesale market.

In fact, Li Yang really didn't guess wrong, there are many small antique shops in the surrounding cities of Zhengzhou that come here to buy goods, of course, how much of the goods purchased are really old things is unknown.

The middle-aged man stopped in front of a shop with various gilded Buddha statues, put the box on the ground, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

There were more ancient swords in the box than Li Yang imagined, there were thirty-five of them, and the weight of so many ancient swords put together was not light, it was estimated that it would be enough for Li Yang to move so far.

Seeing him put the box down, Li Yang also followed, but secretly shouted in his heart that it was a pity, he now has too few collections, these ancient swords that can represent various periods, it usually takes a lot of effort to collect them, if it wasn't ordered, Li Yang really had the idea of accepting them all.

"Boss Yu, I brought something, come and see"

The middle-aged man sat on the chair next to him, fanned himself with his clothes, and stopped talking after he finished talking to the shopkeeper.

"Okay, you drink some water and rest first, I'll take a look"

The shopkeeper immediately walked out and handed over a bottle of mineral water, but the middle-aged man did not refuse, and took a sip and drank most of the bottle.

The ancient sword was taken out one by one by the owner of this shop, and every ancient sword shop owner with a scabbard was careful, and the ancient sword that could be preserved with the scabbard was truly valuable, but it was a pity that there were not many ancient swords like this wooden box.

Many of them are even rusty, and you can only see the appearance of the sword. And there is one that is even more outrageous, except that the sword handle is vaguely a bit like, the whole fitness is like an iron rod, this ancient sword even Li Yang didn't see what period it was.

No matter how old things are, they are not worth much money when they are like this, and the quality is also a very important factor in antiques.

"Zhongzheng Sword"

Li Yang's eyes lit up slightly, and the shopkeeper took out a relatively well-preserved ancient sword, and the handle of this sword was also engraved with the words 'Jiang Zhongzheng'.

The shopkeeper seemed to appreciate the sword as well, and deliberately pulled it out of its scabbard to look at it.

The Zhongzheng sword is a saber specially made by Chiang Kai-shek in order to inspire the students of the Whampoa Military Academy during the Republic of China, and the sword is engraved with the words "Success and Benevolence".

During the Northern Expedition, some soldiers committed suicide with this sword because of the loss of their positions or other reasons, and there are many such examples, so Zhongzheng Sword has the saying of "Chengren Sword".

At this point, Chiang Kai-shek not only did not have any opposition, but was very respectful, and ordered a large number of Zhongzheng swords, and later Whampoa students almost each had one, and before and after, Chiang Kai-shek sent down at least tens of thousands of Zhongzheng swords.

However, today, there are not many of these Zhongzheng swords in the world, only a few are circulated among the people, and many of them have entered the museum.

After all, the sword is an iron tool, and it is easy to be damaged if it is not well kept, just like so many ancient swords in front of you, it can almost be said that there is no real integrity, even if it is this Zhongzheng sword, there are traces of repair, there were rust spots on it, but it was later erased with chemicals.

"Thirty-five, the same as the last time I watched, a total of 150,000, how about it?"

After the shopkeeper finished ordering one by one, he walked up to the middle-aged man and said with a smile, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Why is it 150,000, didn't you say 250,000 last time?" ”

"Last time was last time, now is now, now the market is sluggish, the financial crisis has not passed, collectors are a little short of money, not as crazy as before, and even they have thrown out some collectibles to cope with the crisis, in this case the price has naturally fallen"

The shopkeeper shook his head with a smile, and didn't care about the middle-aged man's anger, Li Yang was also stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but shake his head, profiteers are profiteers, and the economic crisis has a little impact on the collection market, but it is definitely not as big as he said.

"Even if there is an economic crisis, it can't be as much as 100,000 all at once, right?"

The middle-aged man was also stunned for a moment, and immediately distinguished another sentence, and then continued: "Besides, you can't give so much, why didn't you make it clear to me on the phone, and let me run?" ”

"What's the difference between saying it on the phone and saying it here? You have these things, there are only a few handfuls that are really easy to sell, and the others don't know when to press, I will give you a lot of 150,000, and you may not be able to sell 100,000 in other stores."

The shopkeeper shook his head indifferently, and the middle-aged man also shook his head: "No, 150,000 is absolutely not good, the minimum is 250,000, if you don't want it, I'll take it away."

"So be it"

The shopkeeper sighed regretfully, but he didn't have any intention of stopping the middle-aged man, so the middle-aged man went to collect those ancient swords, just received a few, and put them down very helplessly.

"Boss Yu, you have to be honest in business, the original 250,000 yuan, you will change here, what do you mean?"

"It turned out that it said 250,000, but when was that? That was more than half a year ago, when you sold it, and I gave you 250,000 without blinking. But now it's different, antiques are not a fixed price, today it is very high, tomorrow it may be very low, your ancient swords are all in the wrong category, I will use 150,000 yuan to collect it now, there will be a big risk"

The shopkeeper just shook his head, he didn't say this, the ancient sword belongs to the bias, and if he can't make a move in the short term, it will inevitably occupy his liquidity, which is something that no antique shop owner likes to encounter.

However, the value of these ancient swords is definitely more than 150,000, and in Li Yang's opinion, it is more than 250,000, but if you want to sell them quickly, unless you meet a collector you like, it is really not easy.

"That's it, Boss Yu, I won't insist on the original price, the price is 200,000, and I'll leave it all with you."

The middle-aged man frowned, and finally sighed, he didn't show these ancient swords to an antique shop, it was indeed this Boss Yu who offered the highest price, but then he wanted to sell them for more money, so he kept them in his hand and never made a move.

As a result, the more he asked others, the lower he gave, and he gave up and wanted to send things here, but he didn't expect that it would fall by 100,000 at this time, which made him a little unbearable.

"I'm sorry, I really can't do anything, or you are going to ask and see who here is willing to pay 200,000 yuan for you, you can leave it to them"

The shopkeeper shook his head again, he was very clear about the market of the Zhengzhou antique shop, and it was not for nothing that he could take out 200,000 yuan to collect these things from him in one go, but he would never do this, and no one wanted to occupy so much money on the partial ancient sword.

"180,000, 180,000 is always fine, right?"

The middle-aged man's brows condensed tightly, and the shopkeeper sighed, this time he didn't speak, and the middle-aged man already knew what he meant.

The middle-aged man raised his head in frustration, he knew that no one could give him this price even if he asked, these people who opened antique shops were actually very dark, and he also wanted to sell them to other collectors, but after taking them out and letting a few people see them, no one wanted to finish them all at once, only pick a few good ones.

In this way, he will definitely not agree, and the good ones are sold, so it will be even more difficult for these bad ones to sell, and there is only one way to go in his hands.

Raising his head, the middle-aged man happened to see Li Yang who came over, and he had a glimmer of hope in his heart again.

He didn't care when Li Yang asked him just now, first, he did have these things to be sent, and second, Li Yang was too young, young people always gave people a feeling of distrust, this is not a transaction of one or two hundred, nor a transaction of one or two thousand, but a transaction of one or two hundred thousand.

"Little brother, didn't you just say you wanted these things from me?"

The middle-aged man immediately asked, Li Yang hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand, you have to take them all"

The middle-aged man immediately said another sentence, but before Li Yang could speak, Chen Lei had already shouted: "You treat my boss as a Kaizi?" Just now you were willing to sell 180,000 yuan, and my boss is 250,000 yuan? ”

Chen Lei is tall, dark-skinned, and looks a little fierce, the middle-aged man shrank back slightly, and then shook his head: "Didn't I have no choice just now, in this way, this little brother, all you want is 200,000, and I will give you all 200,000."

"Sir, 180,000, according to the price you just said, if you sell it, I will want it all, if you don't sell it, then please do it."

Li Yang shook his head with a smile, he really wanted to take this batch of ancient swords back to collect, but it doesn't mean that he is a person who can be bullied at will, people don't want your things for 180,000, and I still want to sell 200,000 yuan, isn't this a clear bully.

The middle-aged man showed a hint of hesitation, and then looked at the owner of the shop, who was looking at Li Yang curiously and didn't care about him.

"Okay, 180,000, but I want cash, I want it now"

After hesitating for a while, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and nodded, he knew that he would not sell this time, and it would not be easy to sell at this price next time.

"Cash, no problem"

Li Yang turned around and smiled, Liu Gang immediately untied the bag on his body, because he was coming to the antique city today, Li Yang really specially prepared some cash, not much, only 300,000, but it was more than enough to buy these ancient swords.

Eighteen stacks of hundred-yuan bills were quickly given to the middle-aged man, and when he saw the money, the middle-aged man knew that the seemingly inconspicuous young man in front of him was really a gold owner.

The middle-aged man quickly counted the money, and finally grinned, 180,000, not a penny.

The shopkeeper also shook his head, the money was in the hands of the middle-aged man, which meant that the transaction had been completed, and he didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so decisive, and he still had so much cash on him, and he took out 180,000 yuan.

At this moment, the shopkeeper also regretted a little, these ancient swords could be sold for 350,000 or even 400,000 when they met a real buyer, but if they didn't meet them, they were all pressed on their hands.
