It seems that the antique industry is really not as simple and easy to make money as ordinary people imagine, it is all an illusion!

In fact, playing collection, what you earn is money with unequal information. If I know more about the market and the way to go than you, I can make a little more money in trading. So most of the benefits ended up in the pockets of the industry bigwigs. Those small retail investors and amateur collectors can only play the role of Kaizi and cannon fodder.

After two or three days in the antique shop, when I found something to do, I took the Yin Yuan according to the address given to me by the master and went to someone to exchange it so that I could raise money for tuition. The address was easy to find, right in the heart of the city in the middle of the lake.

Lake Park, as the name suggests, is a small island in the center of the lake, in addition to a rockery and a pavilion in the small park on the island, there is also a large teahouse. Tea guests can enjoy tea in the teahouse while enjoying the beautiful scenery in the lake, which is very comfortable. There is a plaque with three big characters hanging on the door of the teahouse, which is the same as the address that Master told me: "Youlan Xuan"!

When I walked into Youlan Xuan, there were not many guests on the first floor, because the second and third floors were the best places to view the scenery. I didn't mean to look for a seat to sit down and taste tea, but walked directly to the counter and asked, "Boss, do you sell moon tea here?" ”

Behind the counter was a young girl, quite pretty. She was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Not for sale!" ”

I was also stunned, why didn't she answer the code?

At this time, the beautiful woman also came back to her senses, pointed to a middle-aged man not far away and said to me, "What you are looking for should be our Manager Sun, right?" I'm just the cashier. ”

I couldn't help but laugh at myself that I was too nervous, and I didn't see the person behind the counter clearly. How could such a young girl be the boss?

I walked up to Manager Sun again and asked him, "Manager, do you sell Yue'er tea here?" ”

The manager turned around, looked at me in surprise, and looked me up and down. After all, it's my first time here, and I'm a fresh face.

However, he still said the code: "We only sell sheep tea here." ”

I said again: "I have the moon tea that grows underground here, do you accept it?" ”

Manager Sun said: "We can exchange the lamb tea!" ”

"Yue'ercha" and "Yang'ercha" are the special code words of this teahouse, "Yue'er" is "Yue'er", which together is a "yin" word, which is used to refer to Yin Yuan. "Yang'er" is "Yang Er", which turns the three horizontal lines in the middle of the word "Yang" into two horizontal, alluding to the symbol of RMB.

Since the code is right, Manager Sun said to me very politely: "This handsome guy, please come with me to the office to sit down, we will have a good tea reception." ”

I followed Manager Sun into the box area. In addition to the kung fu tea set, there is also a chess and card table in the box, and the office is after walking through the box area. Of course, he couldn't have really invited me to sit in the office, but led me straight to an internal staircase. There were only a descending staircase at the top of the staircase, which seemed to lead to the basement. Go down the stairs to the basement. There are security guards standing guard along the way, which is very unusual.

Manager Sun took me to a place similar to a bank counter, and then asked me, "What is your name?" ”

I replied, "Returning to the mountain." ”

"Returning to the Mountain Sect ......" Manager Sun suddenly hesitated, as if he couldn't remember that there was such a sect.

I had to quickly add: "My master's name is Feng Daozhang." ”

"Oh, it's Master Feng's disciple!" Manager Sun suddenly understood. It seems that my master's name is definitely much better than that "Guishan faction".

Manager Sun said to me again: "Please sit down for a while, I'll go and ask Mr. Accounts to come out." With that, he left me alone.

I looked around, and it was a simple room, with two rows of benches on either side of the doorway, and a wooden counter with a row of fences on top, much like the old pawnshop counters. On the fence of the counter hangs a sign that reads: "Yin and Yang Today: 118".

That number should be today's exchange rate. Yin to Yang is Yin Yuan to RMB, and one Yin Yuan can be exchanged for 118 RMB. This exchange rate is slightly higher than that of Nanting, and it is almost the same as that of Xiling. But there was no one behind the counter, so I had to sit on the bench and wait.

Speaking of the Yin Yuan, it has no effect on the living, and it is not of great use to the dead, so it is useful for Yin cultivation. Yin Yuan is good for the cultivation of Yin Gong, like last time I was not at the right time for cultivation, which caused the Yin power in the dantian to be impure, so I need to use Yin Yuan to regulate it. In addition, when the consumption of yin power is serious, or there is no place to replenish the abundant yin qi, the yin yuan can also be used urgently. Therefore, in the Yin cultivation circle, Yin Yuan is hard currency, and even the ghost hunting reward given by the underworld is also Yin Yuan.

However, having said so much about the benefits of Yin Yuan, there will always be some Yin cultivators who are more lacking in money to spend in comparison. As a result, someone specially used the currency of the yang world from the hands of Yin Xiu to purchase the excess Yin Yuan. According to Master, almost all the ghost market operators in the province will come here and exchange the Yin Yuan earned from operating the ghost market into RMB. Because the ghost market operators do not directly earn RMB in the ghost market, but have to pay money in advance. If there is not enough RMB cash to provide exchange, the exchange rate of the ghost market will collapse.

Take the original Nanting mass grave ghost market as an example, the ghosts in the ghost market exchanged the yin yuan dug up by the old man who watched the grave into the dark currency and spent it in the ghost market, and the stall owner in the ghost market exchanged the dark money he earned at the old man who watched the tomb into yuan. Among them, only the underworld currency is the temporary currency that really circulates in the ghost market, but it can't be used to get it to the yang world. Therefore, in the end, the old man who looks at the grave will accumulate a lot of yin yuan in his hands, but the yuan is beyond his means.

In this way, there is also a need for an institution or person to convert Yin Yuan into RMB in order to complete this link and form a circular pattern. Of course, as for what the boss here is going to do with the money to buy so many Yin Yuan, I don't know.

I sat there alone and thought for a little while, and finally someone came, not through the door, but behind the counter. It was a thin old man wearing reading glasses, and it should be the bookkeeper that Manager Sun said just now.

The bookkeeper knocked on the counter with the knuckle of his finger and asked me, "Did you take the Yin Yuan to exchange it?" ”

As soon as I heard him ask directly about Yin Yuan, I knew that he was also Yin Cultivator. I replied, "Yes." ”

"How many do you have?"

"Fifty."

"Bring it up and I'll take a look."

I took out the bag Master had given me and put it on the counter. The bookkeeper opened the mouth of the bag himself, carefully poured out all the yin yuan inside, and then began to count. After counting and making sure that there was no problem with the number, the bookkeeper took out a calculator from under the counter, multiplied 50 by 118, and then said to me, "It's exactly a whole number of five thousand nine, are you sure you want to change it?" ”

I nodded and said, "Change!" ”

The bookkeeper quickly counted out a new stack of bills and handed them to me. I watched him count it, so I didn't repeat it, and put it in my wallet. And just when I got the money, the door behind me opened again, and five people came in at once!

I looked back and saw that the four big men in security uniforms in front of me each came in with two boxes, one of them directly put the boxes on the counter, and then opened them, and it was actually full of Yin Yuan! The box looked like it was supposed to be custom-made, with layers of trays inside, each of which was divided into many compartments, each of which contained a Yin Yuan. I visually measured that each layer of pallets is about 100 compartments, and a box has at least 5 layers, and a total of 8 boxes is 4,000 Yin Yuan!

I couldn't help but be taken aback, this is a big customer, and a small customer like me, who only redeems dozens of them, is not enough to see in front of others! What surprised me even more was that the uniforms worn by the four security guards were all too familiar to me, and they were the same security guards who were guarding the warehouse area in the mountains behind Xiling Cemetery!

The last person who came in was actually the head of the Jiugong Pavilion I had seen at the birthday banquet of Tang Lao Guo: Yu Hot Pot!

Yu Hot Pot is a bald little old man, his eyebrows are exaggeratedly raised, his eyes are slightly protruding like goldfish eyes, he always looks like he is puffing up, he likes to stare at people, and he seems to look at no one. As soon as he saw me, he scolded again. But it wasn't me who he was scolding, it was the security guard who opened the box.

"Idiot! Pig! He jumped up and scolded, kicking the security guard's ass with his short legs, "Did I let you open it?" Don't you see any outsiders? You don't have eyes, do you? ”

The security guard quickly closed the box again, and kept bending down and bowing his head to apologize. But the rest of the hot pot still kept scolding, and the scolding became more and more ugly, and gradually there was a meaning of scolding Huai. When I saw him like this, I hastened out to avoid suspicion, so that I might not hear my ears and be sinned.

Yu Hotpot is also one of the members of the Xiling Ghost City Management Committee, and this time he brought the security guards from Xiling over, so naturally it will not be the Yin Yuan that came to exchange for the Jiugong Pavilion, but it should be the Yin Yuan that the entire committee receives from the Xiling Ghost City. Four thousand Yin Yuan, with the scale of the Xiling Ghost Market, it should only be the income of a few ghost market days.

It turns out that the source of RMB in Xiling Ghost Market is also here, and it can be seen that the real strength of this Youlanxuan is definitely far more than such a small industry on the surface, and it is likely to be a consortium-type organization behind it, otherwise it would not be possible to take out so much cash to acquire such a huge amount of Yin Yuan for a long time. Moreover, its owner is also likely to be a powerful Yin Cultivation Realm boss, otherwise it would be useless for him to acquire these Yin Yuan.
