Chapter 601: Luohan Money

"What's the taboo?" Liu Sizhe asked with interest.

The middle-aged man replied: "Violated the rules of our line of appraisal......"

In the antique industry, it is very common to buy something to give to a friend with good eyesight, if it is the person who helps you palm your eye and you have a good relationship, the relationship is very iron, then it doesn't matter, otherwise, there are a few rules.

First of all, don't take things you can't judge to show unfamiliar friends, and don't insist on letting the other party give you results if you read them. Because, for a good collector, it is not difficult to identify an object, but the difficult thing is whether the result should be reported to the owner of the thing.

The reason for this is also because, if the thing is fake, the buyer may return it based on his conclusion, and if the seller knows that he gave the identification, then he will offend people. The antique industry is very particular about connections, and in this case, many collectors don't like to give their hands to people they don't know.

Secondly, when you go to return a fake, don't use the person who gave you the appraisal as a rhetoric, such as "so-and-so said that this thing is fake, you should return it to me". Such unwise actions usually offend a lot of people.

First of all, you let the seller know who the person who gave you the palm of your hand is, and at the same time, let him feel that everyone in the industry already knows about his move to sell you fakes, so that what can be refunded to you will not be returned.

Moreover, let the person who helped you feel that you have betrayed someone else, and will not help you look at things in the future, and finally, if things are very troublesome, other antique merchants will think that you are some capricious person, and you are used to returning things when you buy them. No one will be willing to sell you something good in the future.

The young man in front of him actually committed such a taboo. I want to return it, but my attitude is not good. When I came to the store, I said bluntly: "This thing of mine was identified by so-and-so, and he said that this thing is a modern handicraft at all, Huang Shopkeeper, you hurry up and return the thing for me!" ”

made a taboo, and spoke so impulsively, how could that Huang shopkeeper return the goods? So, the two argued, and finally quarreled.

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Speaking of which, although Shopkeeper Huang has a rule here that you can return goods. But it was just a verbal statement from the shopkeeper Huang, and it was not clearly marked, so even if the shopkeeper Huang didn't return it, there was no way, but the young man insisted on returning it, and the matter was deadlocked. ”

Hearing that this was the case, Chu Chen and the others all shook their heads, this young man was probably a newcomer who had just entered the industry. Therefore, you may not know the rules of the antique industry, but the most important rules of the antique industry, since the newcomer does not understand the rules, then you should be modest and cautious.

Attitudes like young people. If you want to mix in the antique industry, you have to hit your head and bleed.

Knowing the reason for the matter, Chu Chen and the others felt that there was nothing to look at. So he turned around and prepared to find a place to eat, but he hadn't taken two steps yet. Suddenly, I heard the sound of something breaking.

The four of them hurriedly looked back, but they didn't expect that the young man actually staged a full martial arts. not only punched the yellow shopkeeper twice, but also pushed it hard, directly hitting the Bogu cabinet behind. At this impact, the contents of the Bogu cabinet suddenly fell off.

The young man is like this, it is easy to ignore the anger together, but when he saw the debris all over the ground, the young man suddenly became a little stupid, he immediately realized that he had caused trouble, but he didn't think about how to solve it first, but thought of running away.

At the beginning, it was a contradiction between the Huang shopkeeper and the young man, everyone persuaded a few words at most, and it was not too good to say anything, now the young man not only hit the Huang shopkeeper, but also broke things and wanted to run, of course this behavior is unacceptable.

So many people in the crowd of onlookers wanted to stop the young man, and the young man also knew that if he was stopped, he would definitely not be good, so he rushed forward desperately, so he couldn't die, and the position chosen by the young man was actually Chu Chen's side.

Originally, if Chu Chen and the others didn't have something in their hands, they would have helped stop the young man to nothing, but they still had things in their hands, and the value of the things was still expensive, so of course they could only choose to avoid it.

Of course, Chu Chen was not the only one who chose to avoid the scene, after all, today is the day of the rush, and many people are also holding things in their hands. There are many people who avoid it, and they directly make way for young people.

Seeing this, the young man thought that he was about to escape, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but there was a way to be happy and sad, and before he had run a few steps, a vendor who had already closed his stall and was about to leave appeared in front of him.

Needless to say, the young man hit the peddler directly, and one stumbled and fell to the ground, just as he was about to get up and prepare to run, he was caught by someone who arrived behind, and someone took the opportunity to call the police.

And the peddler suffered purely from the unjustified calamity, and not only did he also fall to the ground, but the things he was carrying in his hands also fell to the ground, but fortunately he sold most of the things in bronze, and many of them were fakes, and the loss was not heavy.

Fortunately, to the peddler's relief, no one took advantage of the fire to rob, and many people helped him pick up the goods scattered on the ground and return them to him.

Just when the young man was so frightened that his face was bloodless, the yellow shopkeeper also looked at the debris all over the ground and wanted to cry without tears. At this time, he already regretted the decision to return the goods in the store, if it weren't for the idea that he wanted to do better business, this kind of trouble would not have happened today!

Fortunately, the young man did not run away, and the loss can be recovered, but the value of antiques is justified by the public, and the mother-in-law is reasonable, and there is often no more uniform price. Therefore, if you pay compensation, it will definitely not be possible to pay according to what he said, and it will be somewhat discounted.

Besides, this is still on the premise that the young man has so much money to compensate, but this person can ink with him for more than 800 yuan for so long, and finally beat him, I think he should not be a rich man, in this case, it is difficult to say whether the young man has the money to compensate him.

Anyway, no matter what you say this time, don't think about making money, if you can not lose money, you can already be regarded as burning high incense. Fortunately, the value of these things is only sixty or seventy thousand in total, even if it is not compensated, it is not a pain in the bones for the shopkeeper.

Just when the shopkeeper lamented that the new year was unfavorable, Chu Chen also picked up a few copper coins that fell at his feet, and was about to return them to the unlucky vendor, but when he saw a copper coin in his hand, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Then he quietly looked at the copper coin casually, pondered for a while, and saw that the vendor had almost cleaned up, and then walked over.

"Boss, I picked up your two Arhat coins, I don't know if you have any more?"

Luohan money is a different product of the money "Kangxi Tongbao" minted during the Kangxi period.

It is generally believed that the difference with ordinary Kangxi Tongbao is that the word "Tong" of Luohan Qian is a single point next to it, while ordinary Kangxi Tongbao is mostly a double point, and the word "Xi" of Luohan Qian does not have a vertical on the left, while the ordinary "Kangxi Tongbao" is written as "Xi", which is the key to identifying Luohan money.

However, this is only the general view of the antique world now, in the Xianfeng period of Tang and Kun's "Money Making General Examination", there is a cloud: "...... Right Kangxi Tongbao money a product, Xi character is still the word "Xi". Xiyuan press: The shape and quality of this product, the copper color and the previous product are not happy at all, but the word Xi is still used as the word "Xi" for different ears. ”

The meaning of this sentence is that although the coin on the right is called "Xi", it is not at all different from the shape and copper color of the previous product, but it is only different from the Xi character, and of course it is also Luohan money. Judging from this, it is very likely that the understanding that Luohan Qian only uses the word "Xi" as a kind of money is wrong.

In fact, Chu Chen had never seen the Luohan money with the word "Xi" before, but the Kangxi Tongbao he picked up just now, the money text, inner outline and outer edge are bright and bright, the treasure light is clear, and the light is compelling, and the essence of copper can be described as outstanding. In addition, the body of the money is as bright as a mirror, and it is not inferior to an 83 version of the Panda Refined Silver Coin that Chu Chen has seen.

This kind of Kangxi Tongbao, Chu Chen can definitely be different from any kind of Kangxi Tongbao seen on the market, just when he saw the two Arhat coins in his hand, he remembered the passage in "The General Examination of Money Making".

Seeing that there was business to do, of course the peddler would not refuse, plus the Luohan money now costs more than a dozen yuan a piece, and the eight Luohan coins in his hand are only two yuan when he gets them, and he can earn hundreds of yuan at once, how can he be unhappy.

"There should be a few more, but they were all scattered just now, so I can only look for them slowly......" The vendor hurriedly took his things aside, and quickly rummaged through them with Chu Chen.

The speed of the two of them was quite fast, and it didn't take long to find the remaining few Arhat coins, and in addition, Chu Chen found a few more Kangxi Tongbao, and then asked, "Boss, how much are these?" ”

The vendor said with a smile: "Those few Kangxi Tongbao are not considered to be given to you, a total of 120, what do you think?" ”

This price is more reasonable, and thinking that he has also picked up the leak, Chu Chen agreed and paid the other party.

Walking out of the antique market, Liu Sizhe asked with some curiosity: "I said Brother Chen, why do you suddenly want to buy a few Arhat coins?" Are you going to give it to your sister-in-law? ”

Hearing Liu Sizhe ask, Duan Kun next to him felt a little strange and asked, "What kind of money is this Luohan money?" How can it still be used as a token of love? ”

Liu Sizhe explained the Luohan money with a smile, and then said: "Because the Luohan money is of excellent copper, exquisitely made, and there are many mysterious legends, the folk have always regarded it as a symbol of auspiciousness and happiness, and use it to "press the year", "press the box" for marriage, and "tokens" for men and women to love each other, so from its appearance to the present, it has been liked by many people......
