Chapter 7: Gold Coin Identification
In the morning, Hu Yang took the little white wolf in the pasture to check the upgrade of the pasture last night. Although it is only a small area, it is the tip of the iceberg for the entire ranch.
But even so, Hu Yang saw a glimmer of hope. Especially now that the disaster is getting more and more serious, every square meter of pasture is extremely precious.
Just then, a red car drove up from a short distance.
When he arrived at the edge of the ranch, as soon as the car door opened, a beautiful scenery appeared in Hu Yang's sight.
Today's Alice is much more beautiful than ever. Her blonde hair is draped behind her head, and her delicate face is painted with light makeup, which makes her look more fresh and refined.
The tight-fitting casual clothes outlined the already perfect figure with concave and convex lines, which made Hu Yang a little dumbfounded.
"Yang, are you in such a hurry to call me, what's the matter?" Alice came to the front lightly and spoke in pure Chinese.
Hu Yang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth lightly with his hand, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Ah...... You're beautiful today, really! ”
"Thank you!" Alice chuckled.
"Well, this is not the place to talk, let's go into the house first, I'll show you something!" In order to hide his embarrassment just now, Hu Yang hurriedly changed his words and walked towards Beiye first.
Looking at the somewhat eccentric Hu Yang, Alice shrugged helplessly and followed as well.
Coming to the living room on the first floor, after the two sat down, Hu Yang took out a few gold coins from his pocket, put them on the coffee table, and said, "When I was cleaning up my room yesterday, I accidentally found this, you can help me take a look!" ”
Alice nodded, picked up a gold coin with some suspicion, and looked at it carefully. As a result, in the next second, Alice's expression changed, and she grabbed several other gold coins in her hand, and examined them carefully over and over again.
After a while, when Alice raised her head again, she said with a surprised face: "Yang, where did you get these gold coins?" Could it be Mr. Lin's relics? ”
"I think so, I was cleaning yesterday, and I found these gold coins in the upstairs bedroom." Hu Yang smiled indifferently and explained a few words lightly.
The reason why he said this was, of course, that he didn't want to tell the truth to this Yanmar.
Let's not say whether she will believe such a ridiculous thing as a white wolf repaying her kindness. Even if she believed it, Hu Yang was worried that she would let this windfall be handed over to the government.
This kind of stupid thing, Hu Yang naturally would not do it.
Alice was obviously surprised, and when she got Hu Yang's reply, she quickly took out her mobile phone and took several photos of the gold coins repeatedly.
"Yang, if you don't mind, I'd like to ask a friend to help identify it, he runs an antique shop and is very good at it. Also, I want to know, what are you going to do with these gold coins? Alice put down her phone and said solemnly.
"Of course it was sold, and you know, the ranch owes a lot of money right now!" Hu Yang said noncommittally.
"How many of these gold coins do you have? I hope you don't have any reservations about me! Alice said with a change in her face.
She could hear from Hu Yang's words that it seemed that this kind of gold coin was far more than just a few. And it involves debts, which must be quite a lot.
Hu Yang smiled slightly, and said without planning to hide it: "There can probably be a few hundred, I don't know the specifics!" ”
Alice took a deep breath, although she didn't know much about these gold coins, she knew a little bit about them.
A few hundred, even if it is sold for gold, it is estimated that there is a lot of money. What's more, an ancient coin like this one may be worth a little higher.
So, the two continued to discuss some things about the gold coins, and Alice left in a hurry with a few photos.
In the rest of the time, Hu Yang, who had nothing to do, took the little white wolf around the ranch a few more times, and then drove the dilapidated old pickup truck to Wuzhen, and bought all the food for the last two days in one go.
In the evening, Hu Yang continued to focus on the pasture that had not yet been upgraded, and began to transform the pasture.
……
Two days later, Hu Yang and the little white wolf had just finished breakfast and were about to go to the ranch for inspection as usual, when a red sedan appeared outside the field.
Alice and another foreign man got out of the car and walked straight in.
"Yo, let me introduce you. Bird, my good friend, has a great antique shop in Sydney and is a great antique appraiser! Alice introduced with a smile.
Hu Yang hurriedly walked over, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Bird, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”
Gentleman Bird smiled, shook hands with Hu Yang, and said, "Mr. Hu, I am also honored to be able to meet you, if I can see the gold coins that Alice said, I will be even happier!" ”
Hu Yang smiled and nodded, and took out the gold coin from his pocket.
When Bird saw the gold coin, the wrinkles on his face instantly relaxed, and his eyes showed a hint of essence.
Immediately afterward, Bird took out a variety of instruments from the suitcase he was carrying, and began to check the gold coin repeatedly.
Hu Yang and Alice stood aside, staring at each other and waiting, not even daring to let out the atmosphere.
When more than ten minutes passed, Bird finally took off his eyes and said with a sigh of relief: "Mr. Hu, how many more gold coins do you have?" Are you planning to auction it, or sell it directly to a merchant or an antique enthusiast? ”
"Auction? No, no, no, it's too much trouble, and you should be able to see that my ranch doesn't have anything, and I desperately need money to get it up and running! Hu Yang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly waved his hand and said.
Bird nodded, pondered, and said slowly: "This gold coin was made by Edward II of England, of course, maybe earlier. If you get it to the auction house, you can auction each gold coin for at least 20,000 Australian dollars! ”
For these things, Hu Yang listened to them in a fog and didn't understand them at all, but when he heard the price behind him, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
But before he could ask, Alice on the side couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Bird, Yang has just said that he is not going to dispose of these gold coins through auction, you should directly say the price of selling them to merchants or buying them if you like to buy them!" ”
Bird glanced at Alice and said slowly: "Mr. Hu, if you insist on trading privately, I think the price should only be about 10,000 Australian dollars!" ”
"What? Only $10,000? Cut it in half? Hu Yang and Alice were stunned at the same time, and couldn't help but say.
"Yes, because private transactions are not a normal channel, it is normal to cut the price in half!" Bird nodded, no expression on his face.
Hu Yang frowned slightly, but was quickly relieved. Even if a gold coin could only be sold for $10,000, he had at least a few hundred more coins there, and if he sold them all, he could get a few millions.
With such a sum of money, not only can the debts owed by the pasture be paid off, but also the surplus will be used to buy some tools and cattle and sheep needed for the pasture.
After pondering for a while, Hu Yang smiled indifferently and said, "No problem, Mr. Bird, it would be better if you could help me find a buyer who is willing to buy these gold coins!" ”
"These? Mr. Hu, how many more gold coins do you have? If you don't have a specific number, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you! "Bird, since he came in, has always had a strained face, and his tone when he speaks has always been tough.
But who let us ask for others, Hu Yang smiled awkwardly, and said softly: "I don't know the specific number, but two or three hundred, there should be one!" ”
"Oh God, I hope it's just a joke!" As soon as Hu Yang's words came out, he looked at Bird, a foreigner, and was immediately thundered.
After a long time, Bird stared at Hu Yang with an expression of disbelief and continued: "Mr. Hu, are you sure there are really so many gold coins?" This is not a small amount, it is better to go to the auction house, you will get more benefits! ”
"No, Mr. Bird, I am in need of money right now, and if I can find a buyer directly, I am willing to sell it at a low price!" Hu Yang shook his head, but still rejected Bird's proposal.
Bird nodded, glanced at Hu Yang deeply, and said slowly: "Okay, if Mr. Hu is not willing to take it to auction, as Alice's friend, I will naturally be willing to serve." But before I do, I'd like to take a look at the rest of the coins! ”
"Naturally, there's no problem with this, I'll go get it!" Hu Yang happily agreed, turned around and walked upstairs.
So, Bird and Alice sat on the sofa in the living room, and after waiting for a while, they saw Hu Yang holding a cardboard box in one hand, and walked down the stairs with light steps, not showing the slightest difficulty.
Alice didn't have anything yet, except for a look of expectation in her eyes staring at the wooden box, it was quite normal.
But Bird was different, his face was full of horror, as if he had been quite shocked.
"Mr. Hu, I didn't expect your strength to be so great!" When Hu Yang approached, Bird said in amazement.
"Oh? What Mr. Bird means ......" Hu Yang was stunned, obviously not understanding what this foreigner meant.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Yang carefully placed the carton box on the coffee table, and after opening the lid, it was full of yellow gold coins.
For a moment, Bird and Alice couldn't help but look at each other, and at the same time were dumbfounded.
In the next second, the shock on Bird's face gradually disappeared, and it was replaced by a wry smile: "These gold coins weigh at least a hundred pounds, and in Mr. Hu's hands, it seems to be very easy!" ”
