In the hall, only Zhao Shuqing and a young customer, about thirty years old, were drinking tea.

"Huh? What about Elder Wang, why is he not here? Cheng Hao asked strangely.

Zhao Shuqing said helplessly: "That old guy, the ghost knows what he is doing again, anyway, if he has something to do, he will throw the store to me to take care of, and I will soon become his employee!" ”

Zhao Shuqing complained, and then said: "Brother Cheng, you quickly help me identify this Qing Dynasty copper coin, I can't identify it after looking at it for a long time." ”

"Okay."

Cheng Hao didn't have much ink, and immediately prepared to start working.

But then, the customer looked at him a few times and said with a suspicious face:

"Boss Zhao, can you identify this Coin Pavilion? How did you find a stinky hairy boy, aren't you blinding me? ”

Be a babe in the woods?

Rub, am I so tender?

Okay, we're twenty-three years old this year, okay?

Cheng Hao was speechless.

Zhao Shuqing explained to the customer with a smile: "Please rest assured, this little brother is very experienced in the identification of copper coins, and he will definitely be able to identify it, if the identification can't be done, then I will refund the appraisal fee to you." ”

"Return the money and it's over? How much time have you wasted on me? At least double the appraisal fee will be refunded! ”

The young customer was a little unhappy.

Cheng Hao smiled faintly and said: "Since you don't believe me, then please go to another house to appraise it, but let me tell you, your Tongzhi Tongbao of the late Qing Dynasty, only I can identify this street, and others can't!" ”

To deal with this kind of vexatious customer, there is no need to give a good face, thinking that a few stinky money is great?

In the antique world, the truly powerful treasure connoisseurs are customers who line up to come to the door to ask for the master's appraisal, and there has never been a treasure connoisseur who asks for the customer's reason.

Sure enough, Cheng Hao's words made the customer's arrogance weaken a lot.

"If you can't identify it, I'll be refunded the full amount."

Cheng Hao smiled: "Okay, if I can't identify it, I can refund you ten times the fee!" ”

Zhao Shuqing was anxious when he heard this, so he quickly dragged him and whispered in his ear: "Refund ten times the appraisal fee, are you crazy?" ”

"I'm not crazy." Cheng Hao replied in a low voice.

Zhao Shuqing lowered his voice and said, "Do you know how much money I charged him?" A full 30,000 yuan! In case you don't find out, I'll pay him 300,000! If Boss Wang knows, he won't have to scold you to death? ”

"I can't identify it, I'll pay him this money out of my own pocket." Cheng Hao said calmly.

Just kidding, is there an antique in the world that I can't identify?

Zhao Shuqing saw that he was so confident, so he didn't say anything more.

On the contrary, it was the customer, his face was full of excitement, in his opinion, Cheng Hao was an arrogant maniac, slapping a swollen face and becoming fat.

Boss Zhao can't identify it, can he be identified?

That's fine, if this kid can't be identified later, he can earn 300,000 yuan for nothing, where can I find such a good thing?

He rubbed his hands with a wicked smile, as if he had seen 300,000 beckoning to him.

Cheng Hao walked leisurely to the table, carefully picked up the Tongzhi Tongbao ancient coin full of green embroidery, and began to pretend to identify it.

I studied it for three or four minutes, but I still haven't come to a conclusion.

The young customer blossomed and mocked, "Boy, I think you should just lose money, don't waste my time." ”

Money?

You're dreaming!

Cheng Hao put the ancient coin back on the table, straightened his waist and said in a round voice: "I have identified it, this is a late Qing copper coin of Tongzhi Tongbao, it is genuine!" ”

The customer paused for half a second, and then laughed and said: "Nonsense, doesn't this ancient coin have the four big characters of Tongzhi Tongbao on it, and I still use you to say it?" How can you prove that you have identified? ”

Anyway, there is no evidence, he can play tricks and deny his account, and let Cheng Hao lose money to him.

Cheng Hao chuckled faintly and said the information he had just sniffed out with his nose in full.

"Tongzhi Tongbao, forged in the late Qing Dynasty, about 150 years of history, the diameter of the coin is 2.5 cm, weighs 5.4 grams, the obverse is engraved with Tongzhi Tongbao italics, the coin has a green patina, has a certain collection value."

"As for my identification method, it is very simple, as long as it is determined by smelling the smell and looking at the color."

The customer sneered loudly after hearing this: "You can also identify antiques by smelling the smell, do you think you are a dog's nose?" ”

Cheng Hao ignored his ignorance and continued to preach.

"The older the bronze coin, the more powerful the oxidation, the oxidation time is long, the metal taste of the coin is very light, all the ancient coins with a heavy copper flavor must be fakes, but your Tongzhi Tongbao smell is very light, so it must be genuine."

"Also, the rust layer of old coins is generally relatively thin, and most of the rust is scattered in the form of local spots, and your coin also meets this characteristic, and it can basically be judged to be 100% genuine."

When he finished speaking, the customer was shocked and half speechless.

And Zhao Shuqing admires him even more.

Cheng Hao just said that smelling the smell and looking at the color, these two identification methods do exist in the treasure industry, but these two methods have extremely high requirements for the experience of the treasure appreciator, and ordinary people will never dare to use this method to identify treasures.

Because people's senses are sometimes very unreliable, they must use tools and instruments, but Cheng Hao does not use any tools, but with these two methods, he dares to 100% conclude that this ancient coin is genuine, which is enough to prove his strength.

Zhao Shuqing sighed secretly: This kid's treasure appreciation ability is probably even higher than that of Boss Wang!

At this time, the customer's attitude changed greatly, and he apologized to Cheng Hao again and again: "I'm sorry, master, I offended you just now, please forgive me." ”

If what Cheng Hao said is true, this copper coin is genuine, then the value is at least hundreds of thousands, compared to the appraisal fee of 30,000 yuan, of course he knows which is more important, so he no longer cares about the previous matter.

"Master, since you said that my coin is genuine, how much is it worth?" The customer couldn't wait to ask.

"This ......" Cheng Hao hesitated, how did he know how much this coin was?

He can only appreciate treasures, and he doesn't understand the market for antiques at all.

Zhao Shuqing saw Cheng Hao's embarrassment, so he hurriedly replied to the customer: "This Tongzhi Tongbao is Xiaoping, carrying the mother type of Baoquan carving, and the market price is about 700,000. ”

"700,000!" The customers danced excitedly and smiled.

This Tongzhi Tongbao was bought by him for 50,000 yuan on the black market, but he didn't expect it to be worth 700,000 yuan, which is not 650,000 yuan in vain!

Even if the appraisal fee of 30,000 yuan is subtracted, he will earn 620,000 yuan!

Although most of the black market and antique markets are very deep, and fakes and fakes are rampant, if you are lucky, you can also find treasures at low prices, and this customer is obviously out of luck.

The heavens have eyes!

After playing with antiques for so long, I finally bought the real thing, and this time I made a fortune!

The young customer hurriedly asked, "Boss Zhao, do you accept my copper coin in this coin pavilion?" ”

Cheng Hao was speechless, this is not nonsense? The Coin Pavilion doesn't accept coins, so what else does it charge?

When Zhao Shuqing heard that there was business to do again, he hurriedly smiled and nodded, and said, "Of course!" ”

"But the offer I just gave you of 700,000 yuan is the transaction price of last year's auction house, this year's antique market is sluggish, the price may have fallen, but if you are willing to sell it to me, I can give you an extra 30,000 yuan and give you a high price of 730,000!"

730,000?

The customer was laughing like crazy, isn't this equivalent to returning the 30,000 appraisal fee just now?

Of course, this kind of good thing can't be missed, and the opportunity should not be lost!

"Okay, Boss Zhao, I'll sell you this copper coin!"

"Haha, brother has vision!"

The two hit it off, Zhao Shuqing accepted the Tongzhi Tongbao on the spot, and then transferred 730,000 yuan to the young customer.

When the young customer saw the bank's text message arrive, he was ecstatic and walked out of the coin pavilion.

After the man left, Zhao Shuqing couldn't hold back and showed a wicked smile on his face.

Cheng Hao knew that the customer must have been slaughtered by him, and the true price of this Tongzhi Tongbao must be far more than 730,000.
