Chapter 412: Liu Lian Looks at the Look!
Now is an era of national collection, and not everyone likes to make a collection.
As the saying goes: antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times. The more prosperous the era, the more valuable the antiques, especially the current TV collection and treasure appreciation programs are more popular than one another, and the clues can be seen from here.
Xinyi is also an ancient city, there are historical sites in many places, and there are naturally many antiques.
Why are antiques in the Central Plains crazy? It is because the Central Plains is the cradle of the Chinese nation, and this cradle has given birth to a lot of civilizations and buried a lot of emperors and generals, so this is the reason why there are many antiques in the Central Plains.
Feng Shui antique street naturally also has copper coins to sell, but after all, each family has some copper coins, and the profit is not large, so not many people will sell them in the antique street, although there are, but they are not as many and complete as the thrift market.
Liu Lian and Xu Fengnian walked into the thrift market, which was really full of people, and there were more stalls than strolls.
It's also because today is not a weekend, if it's a weekend, it's simply a sea of people, everyone is used to listening to the leak, and everyone is delusional to be able to pick up a big leak.
But I don't want to think about it, if you can pick up the leak, then everyone who does business will have to lose money?
There is also a saying in the antique industry: if you don't open for three years, you can eat for three years, which shows the huge profits.
However, Liu Lian will definitely not go to see these places, these shops are all elites, and the threshold is extremely fine, if you want to pick up a good object from them, it is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack.
Besides, Liu Lian only came to find the Five Emperors today.
Now the Five Emperors money is everywhere, but Liu Lian didn't dare to ask Xu Fengnian to buy it himself. Because Xu Fengnian couldn't distinguish the real Five Emperors at all. The Five Emperors money that is now circulating in the world. It's basically fake. Of course, it's really not nothing, and you need to have excellent eyesight to discern.
A string of fake Five Emperor Coins, just like the real one, are all made of copper, and only need five to ten yuan a string. However, the average quality of the Five Emperors Coin requires at least two hundred to three hundred strings. The price difference is huge, of course, there is no shortage of fake five emperor money with a cost price of four or five yuan to sell for two or three hundred, which is a huge profit temptation.
However, Liu Lian and Xu Fengnian walked half a street. I haven't seen a single one that sells coins, of course, this refers to the stalls.
Near the exit, there happened to be a person, in front of him was a pile of coins, from the sword coins of the Warring States to the modern Yuan Datou, there was everything.
"Is there any Five Emperor Money?" Liu Lian looked at the young man in his twenties in front of him.
"Yes, yes, do you want to be real or imitative? It's really five hundred and one strings, and it's five dollars a copy. Pick any of these on the ground. The young man pointed to the pile of coins on the ground.
"Take a few strings and I'll see if they're real." Liu Liandao.
The young man pulled out two strings of Five Emperor coins from his bag, both of which were woven with red string. There is also a flaming Chinese knot on it.
"Anything else?"
The young man took out three more strings from his bag, "Five strings in total." ”
"It's too expensive, I'm just for decoration, it's not cost-effective, how much is the cheapest string?"
"If you want it, the minimum is four hundred and five, and you won't sell it for a penny."
Liu Lian handed the two strings of sky-high five emperor coins to the young man, "I'll take a look." Immediately, Liu Lian looked through the pile of coins of the young man, pinched a few more, and turned them over to look at them.
Liu Lian naturally hadn't seen the Five Emperors Qian before, but he had his own way of distinguishing it.
"Are these all five-dollar each?"
"Yes, both."
"That's good," Liu Lian touched one from this young man's pile of coins, and after a short time, he found more than thirty Five Emperor coins.
"I want these, how much does it cost?"
"One, two, three...... There were thirty-eight pieces in total, five dollars each, a total of one hundred and nineteen, and one hundred and eighteen were given. "The young man can see that he often does this kind of business, and he calculates the accounts very quickly. After the account was calculated, he took it and found a plastic bag for him, and packed the copper coins that Liu Lian bought.
Liu Lian took out the money and paid the bill.
"Come back when you're free." Liu Lian walked far away, and the coin sellers did not forget to wave goodbye to Liu Lian.
…………
"How do you pick these cheap ones, can you use them?" Although Xu Fengnian didn't understand, he had the 200,000 yuan card that Xu Wenchang had just given him in his pocket, so he wouldn't be so shabby.
Xu Fengnian also understood the truth that you get what you pay for, he was afraid of offending a god of wealth like Xu Wenchang, the 200,000 yuan was just money for preparing materials, and after the matter was completed, with Xu Wenchang's personality, the remuneration paid to the two would not be less than seven figures.
But there is a premise for these, first of all, he must cure his sister Xu Wenmei's illness, if he can't cure the disease, then fool him into paying money, Xu Wenchang is not a fool.
Liu Lian said again that the Five Emperors money that has been used by 10,000 people must be used, then it is definitely not a fake thing that can be done, because fake money will not pass so many hands at all, and the popularity is insufficient, and the effect will definitely not be good.
The so-called more than 10,000 hands, this principle is very simple, people are popular, people are living creatures, and yang, over 10,000 hands, that is, yang energy is abundant, can resist all yin energy, and can make people return to the soul.
The reason why Xu Wenmei was so rejuvenated was naturally because the situation was different, just like curing a disease, there were different treatments for the same symptoms.
Liu Lian smiled: "Of course the fake one is not used, but the real one must be used." ”
Xu Fengnian was stunned, "What?" You just touch it, how do you know it's real? Do you have clairvoyance? ”
"It's all copper, and you can't see it with a clairvoyant eye."
Xu Fengnian was even more strange, "Then how do you see it?" ”
"There are many ways to counterfeit ancient money, but some do do do look very similar, but no matter how similar it is, it is still fake."
Liu Lian explained: "The ancient method of minting money is the sand turning method, what is the sand turning method? It is to cast a sand mold with the mother money, and then use the sand mold to make it. The texture of real coins is generally relatively close and delicate, and it has been passed down to this day, and the surface naturally produces a layer of dark brown pulp, which makes people feel that the fire is exhausted and the color is soft. The casting process of counterfeit products is generally sloppy, resulting in loose money quality, making people feel very angry, although the sand hole and pores of the money surface have been polished, but they are not as smooth as natural wear. ”
"Another important thing is that the real coin is a whole box of sand, the sand pressure is uniform, and the thickness of the coin is the same. Counterfeit coins, on the other hand, are molded from a mother coin, and the thickness of the coin is different due to deformation. Of course, the edge of the money and the square space in the middle are also important factors in distinguishing the authenticity. ”
As an ancient person, no matter which dynasty the money is, no matter what words are printed on the copper coin, it is almost the same, this is Liu Lian's former circulating currency, just like allowing modern people to distinguish the authenticity of paper money, it is naturally very clear.
"These things, needless to say, there is only one factor that the Five Emperor Qian actually cares about, that is, whether it is true or false, and it has little to do with wear and tear. The more it is worn, the more it is explained that there are many people and there is enough yang. The better the effect of the conjuring. ”
Liu Lian explained some knowledge of coins and how to identify them to Xu Fengnian as he walked, but suddenly there was a shout from behind, "That's good!" ”
Liu Lian looked back and saw an old man with white hair, in good spirits, following behind the two.
Liu Lian was a little stunned, but he still smiled and said, "Hello, old man." ”
"What you just said is so good, I didn't expect you to have a lot of knowledge about coins, and you still know so much about the effects of the Five Emperors Money, rare, rare." The old man said.
"Old man, please tell me if you have something." Liu Lian didn't know the old man's intention, so he asked bluntly.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I just heard your explanation of the Five Emperors' money, and I feel that I have met a bosom friend, so let's do it, little brother, do you have time to sit in my store and have a cup of tea together?"
Liu Lian looked at the old man's square face and white beard, full of red light, dressed in a white Tang suit, spotless, with his snow-white hair, combed backwards, he had a feeling of being a master outside the world.
"That's a bother!"
Liu Lian and Xu Fengnian happened to have nothing to do, and the Five Emperors also bought the money, and then, they had to wait for Xu Wenchang's letter, which happened to be fine at this time.
The old man led Liu Lian and Xu Fengnian and walked back, just walking to an antique antique shop named Rong Bao Zhai in front of the antique street.
This made Liu Lian laugh dumbly, it seems that the names of some antique shops are similar, and Cui Yunsheng's Xiangbao Zhai is also like this.
"Little friend, please come in."
The old man entered the store and casually instructed the clerk, "Make me a pot of tea." After speaking, he turned to Liu Lian and the others, "This is a small shop opened by a contemptible person, the contemptible person's surname is Rong, Rong Guiren, dare to ask what Xiaoyou is called?" ”
"Liu Lian, this is Xu Fengnian." Liu Lian introduced himself to Xu Fengnian and the old man.
"Why does Xiaoyou know so much about the Five Emperors Money, and dare to ask what kind of profession Xiaoyou has?"
"Mr. Feng Shui, hehe." Liu Lian didn't hide it.
"Hehe, as I expected, I see that Xiaoyou's face is wonderful, not an ordinary person, it turns out that he is studying feng shui physiognomy."
"Mr. Meng praised him, but he didn't dare to take it." Liu Lian's mouth was not leaking, but he was muttering in his heart what this old man wanted to do.
"I happened to come to Xinyi today, and I met Xiaoyou, and I heard Xiaoyou's wonderful discussion on the Five Emperors' money, which cannot but be said to be fate."
"Hehe, it's fate to meet an old man with a strange skeleton like Mr.
"Since I am fortunate to meet you, can you please show me my face or fortune?"
"Hehe, it's not good, please forgive the old man."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"The old gentleman's life palace is wide and plump, this is a rich and noble face, the official palace is upright and plump, indicating that the old man has a successful career and excellent luck in the future. The nose is high and round, and the color is moist, which is a sign of wealth and wealth, health and longevity, and the Fude Palace is full and clear, which is a very blessed appearance, but ......"
Liu Lian said this, and he stopped talking, but the old man was secretly shocked in his heart, and when he saw Liu Lian stop, he hurriedly said:
"Xiaoyou has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" (To be continued.) )
PS: Today's New Year, I wish you all a happy new year and a happy family!
