Chapter 072: Sky-high Money
Among the piles of bronze utensils poured out by the small side, there are relatively large copper furnaces and other objects, and there are also small copper utensils such as copper coins and copper coins.
"I've been collecting these bronzes for a long time." Xiao Bian said solemnly, "Brother, if you like something, just say it, everyone has the opportunity to know each other is a kind of fate, so it should be regarded as making friends." ”
"yes, I know." Bai Wenchao nodded and said, "Let's take a look first." ”
"Well, just look at it." Xiao Bian nodded in agreement in a very bold tone.
So Bai Wenchao and the others squatted down and carefully inspected the bronzes.
At the same time, Yi Yang also half-crouched down, staring intently at the batch of bronzes, and his gaze focused on the ancient coins with very thick patina.
After looking at it for a while, Bai Wenchao subconsciously shook his head, looking at the look on his face, he was obviously not optimistic about the batch of antiques in front of him.
The little thief's eyebrows and sharp eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw that Bai Wenchao's face was wrong, so he frowned slightly and asked, "Brother, isn't there a single thing in this that can enter your eyes?" ”
Hearing Xiao Bian's question, Bai Wenchao immediately calmed down, restrained his strange expression, shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I didn't say that, it's just that everyone has different preferences." ”
"So these bronzes aren't your liking?" Xiao Bian asked rhetorically, his expression seemed a little displeased, and he didn't know whether he was annoyed or disappointed.
Bai Wenchao replied: "No, these things are very good, but unfortunately I have received a lot of them in my hands, so I don't want to play anymore." ”
"Oh, that's fine." Xiao Bian said lightly, "Since that's the case, then I'll put away this batch of bronzes." Brother, let's talk about the Xuande furnace, which is the treasure of bronze. ”
After that, he was about to take the batch of antiques back into the woven bag.
But at this moment, Yi Yang spoke, and only said, "Mr. Gao, please wait a minute." ”
"What's the matter?" Xiao Bian raised his head and looked at Yi Yang, looking casual.
Yi Yang also said calmly: "Can you give me that thing?" ”
He pointed directly at the small copper coin to be repaired, and looked in the direction he was pointing, Bai Wenchao and their eyes showed surprise.
Because she was referring to a rusty, inconspicuous copper coin, something like this that would be easy to find on the antique streets, it was not at all noticeable.
"Brother Yi, do you want this copper coin?" Bai Wenchao said in surprise, "This copper coin has been eaten like that by patina, it's not easy to collect!" ”
Yi Yang smiled slightly: "It's okay, I like to collect this kind of ancient coin." Mr. Gao, I hope you will give it to me. ”
Hearing him say that sincerely, the Gao brothers couldn't help but glance at each other, and then Xiao Bian nodded without hesitation and said, "This thing is okay." ”
"How much does that sell?" Bai Wenchao asked directly about the price.
Xiao Bian hesitated for a moment and said, "If you sincerely want it, take the eight thousand yuan." ”
"Eight thousand?!"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Wenchao and Da Mao were taken aback, Bai Wenchao secretly thought, such a copper coin costs 8,000, this price is too outrageous.
However, in front of the Gao brothers, he was embarrassed to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart.
However, he immediately pulled Yi Yang aside and whispered, "Brother Yi, what do you want to do with that?" That copper coin is full of rust, and the situation on the surface is not clear, so it is not worth collecting, right? What's more, Mr. Gao's bid is so high, don't think about it, if you want to collect copper coins, we have a lot of them, like the kind with a very thick patina, but it is definitely better than his! ”
Yi Yang said: "If the price is high, you can talk to him." Brother Bai, thank you for your construction, I know that kind of thing is not very good, but I like it, I appreciate the first feeling that antiques give me. ”
To be honest, he didn't know anything about the copper coin now, but he was curious, he was going to accept the copper coin with a rusty stern, but it wasn't just for the sake of treasure hunting and picking up leaks, but he also had other ideas, because the magical gold thread hidden deep in his right eye reacted to that thing, which showed that he could use his ability to repair it or optimize it, so this still has a lot of reference.
Because he might be able to find other patterns in it, he could touch more of the same coin after repairing that one.
"Okay, I'll cut the price for you later, eight thousand is too high, I don't know how much I can buy!" Seeing that Yi Yang's attitude was so resolute, Bai Wenchao couldn't say anything more, he could only agree with the other party's ideas and help him.
In Bai Wenchao's opinion, Yi Yang is a very strange collector, and the things he likes to collect are either porcelain tiles or coins covered with patina, which are all damaged.
He didn't know that those things were of great use to Yi Yang, and he could turn waste into treasure and pick up leaks.
After the two discussed, they walked back to Mr. Gao and them, and when they saw them walking back, Xiao Bian asked with a smile, "How did you think about it?" I only sell this copper coin for 8,000, if you have no opinion, then you can make a deal now. ”
Bai Wenchao said for Yi Yang first: "Mr. Gao, is eight thousand too expensive?" It's just an ordinary copper coin, and there are so many rusts on the surface, it's really hard to get. ”
The other lion opened his mouth, this is something he didn't expect at first, and thought that the extremely ugly copper coin didn't cost much, at most a few hundred yuan, and it was normal to give it away for nothing, but who knew that Mr. Gao They didn't bid, and the bid was amazing, and they actually shouted a high price of 8,000, compared to the actual price of the copper coin, this is undoubtedly a sky-high price, and it is difficult to accept.
"Brother, you said it was just an ordinary copper coin?" The corners of Xiao Bian's mouth twitched, and he said with a sneer, "You are wrong!" It wasn't like that at all when I received it, but because I didn't keep it well, it rusted, but when I removed the rust, it was revealed. To tell you the truth, it cost me tens of thousands of dollars to receive this little copper coin. I only need a few thousand yuan for you now, which is the biggest discount for you, if you weren't for the friends brought by Da Mao, it would definitely not be this price! ”
He straightened his expression and said seriously, Yi Yang and they could not distinguish between fiction and reality, after all, even Yi Yang himself could not determine the situation under the patina.
"Oh, really?" General Bai Wenchao asked suspiciously, "Then dare to ask what kind of copper coin this copper coin is?" ”
"It's 'Jingkang Tongbao'." Xiao Bian said "eloquently", "You should have heard of the 'Jingkang Shame', right? 'Jingkang Tongbao' was cast during the Northern Song Dynasty and Song Dynasty. Song Qinzong was exiled to the north after 16 months of reign, when the Great Song Dynasty was difficult to protect and the political situation was turbulent. Therefore, the amount of 'Jingkang' money minted is very small, and 'Jingkang Tongbao' is even rarer, and it belongs to the 'national first-class cultural relics'. So you can imagine how valuable my copper coin is, right? ”
"'Jingkang Tongbao'?" Bai Wenchao was puzzled, "I also know that this kind of money is very expensive, but looking at the shape and size of this copper coin, it doesn't look like that kind of copper coin." Mr. Gao, if you don't do this, remove the patina a little, and if the characteristics of 'Jingkang Tongbao' are revealed, then I will buy it at the price." What do you think? It didn't hurt you, did it? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Bian's face couldn't help but turn red, as if he was a little weak-hearted.
Seeing this, Boss Gao, who had been standing next to Yi Yang and observing their words, hurriedly waved his hand with a smile and said, "Xiaobian, since this brother's friend likes this copper coin so much, let's deal with it cheaper, and treat it as a favor to my brother." ”
"But!" Xiao Bian said with an aggrieved look, "Brother, this is 'Jingkang Tongbao'!" Now the market price is very high, and it is said that a good one can be sold for hundreds of thousands! ”
Boss Gao said: "But you didn't keep it well and let it rust, so the price naturally had to be discounted." ”
"Eight thousand has already been discounted." Xiao Bian felt like he was at a loss and said, "Hey, forget it!" If I have less, I can take 5,000, but this is the lowest price, and it can't be lower! ”
"Five thousand is too high!" Bai Wenchao shook his head unrelentingly.
"If you still feel too high, then I can't help it." Xiao Bian said resolutely, "I can only let this step go, if it can't be negotiated, it doesn't matter, I'll keep it and sell it slowly, anyway, this kind of thing can be put anywhere, it's very convenient." ”
After saying that, he put the bronze objects into the bag one by one, and it seemed that the copper coin was less than five thousand, and there was no room for further discussion.
Seeing that Xiaobian pretended to be leaky, Yi Yang couldn't help it, the other party obviously wanted to cheat a sum of money on him, if the price was too low, they wouldn't be able to make huge profits.
Although he knew the true face of the Gao brothers, in order to get the "sample" with special significance, he could only agree to "plan the plan", so he said quite happily: "Mr. Gao, five thousand is five thousand." I'm going to have that copper coin! ”
"Brother Yi-" Bai Wenchao frowned, wanting to persuade something, but Yi Yang secretly glanced at him and motioned him to stop talking.
"So when is the transaction?" Xiao Bian asked rhetorically.
Yi Yang said: "Trade now." ”
After speaking, he counted out five thousand yuan from his wallet without thinking and handed them all to Xiaobian.
"That thing is yours now." After taking the money and counting it, seeing that there was nothing wrong, Xiao Bian handed the copper coin to Yi Yang.
Yi Yang finally got his wish and got the bronze coin with a bit of mystery.
"Brother, do you still want that Xuande furnace?" As soon as the money arrived, Xiao Bian told Bai Wenchao about the unfinished matter just now, that is, the purchase and sale of the Xuande furnace.
That Xuande furnace Yiyang is definitely not genuine, but Bai Wenchao is more optimistic and is hesitating.
I only heard Bai Wenchao say solemnly: "Mr. Gao, I do like that Xuande furnace, but you also know that Xuande furnace is not an ordinary thing after all, and I can't eat it alone, so I have a request, can you bring it to the master in our store to see?" If they think it's okay, then we'll be able to do it in no time. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaobian and they hadn't replied, when suddenly the mobile phone in Boss Gao's pocket rang, and he immediately took it out to answer it, and greeted him out with a happy face, as if there was a VIP visiting.
After a while, Boss Gao walked in with two people.
I saw that the two uninvited guests, one old and one young, were very familiar, and Yi Yang recognized them at a glance.
It turned out that it was none other than Zhao Bin, who had a holiday with them before, that is, Mu Lao's grandson.
And his old partner, who is said to have an unhealthy atmosphere!
