With the increasing popularity of the domestic cultural relics collection market, as a major economic and cultural province in China, Jiangnan naturally has a market specializing in the trading of cultural relics. In this market, there are people who sell things every day, and naturally there are people who buy things.

It's just that whether it is a buyer or a seller, the collection of cultural relics depends on vision and experience. Although there is no shortage of good things like 'picking up leaks', it is also common to hear such things as 'eye-catching'. If you want to make a fortune by picking up leaks, it is undoubtedly difficult in reality.

Especially in such a market that specializes in the sale of cultural relics, how many of the vendors who sell cultural relics are fuel-efficient lamps? In contrast, people who want to come here to treasure for money, in addition to money, are also very important to have eyesight.

Xu Haibao, who only stayed home for one night, really didn't want to meet the nurse MM, who was highly recommended by his mother. Under the pretext that I needed to come to the provincial capital for something, I picked up my sister and went home by the way, and the next day I borrowed a car and went straight to the provincial capital.

When he arrived in the provincial capital, Xu Haibao did not go to Jiangnan University, where his sister studied, but drove directly to the largest cultural relics street in Jiangnan. After parking the car, he walked into the cultural relics street with a small suitcase.

Looking at the vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the cultural relics street, there are a lot of antique-looking things piled up in front of each stall. Some of these things on the stalls are indeed real things, but the prices must not be cheap.

On the contrary, there are many fakes in it. If you don't have any eyesight and buy it with the intention of 'picking up leaks', the most likely situation is 'eye-catching'. There are still very few people who can really 'pick up the leaks' on this street.

Carrying a small suitcase, Xu Haibao went straight to the 'Yabao Pavilion' in the antique street. In his previous life, he had been to this antique shop many times, but more often than not, he came with the boss. Xu Haibao is undoubtedly the most familiar with the situation of this store.

In addition, there are many antique shops in Nawei Cultural Relics Street. But Xu Haibao knew that the shop was best at identifying ancient coins. Many buyers who are interested in collecting ancient coins also like to come here to shop for things.

Compared with other antique shops, they like to fool buyers with fakes. The reputation of this 'Yabao Pavilion' is still very good!

Walking into this small antique shop, the most conspicuous thing is the several display cases placed in the store. It contains coins made by various dynasties. It's just that the ancient coins on the counter are not too expensive.

If you really want to find good goods in the store, you must have a certain channel to get good things from the boss. The owner will not keep the really expensive ancient coins in the store, but will keep them more carefully and do not want to show them easily.

The clerk who was greeting customers in the store looked at Xu Haibao who entered the door and was still carrying a small suitcase, and said very politely: "Sir, hello, welcome to Yabao Pavilion." What do you need, sir?"

Facing the clerk's polite inquiry, Xu Haibao also said directly: "Are you the iron shopkeeper here?"

If you are not familiar with the store and want to find the real person in charge, you will often ask if the 'boss' is there. But Xu Haibao had been here many times in his previous life, and he knew the owner of this shop, and he liked others to call him the shopkeeper.

As soon as he heard what Xu Haibao said, the clerk also knew that this person should know his boss. He also quickly said: "Sir, I'm very sorry, the shopkeeper is not in the store now." Is there something wrong with the sir?"

"Yes! Brother Kong Fang of the Ming family wants to ask your shopkeeper to help him palm his eyes. If the price is right, I'm going to sell it. Can you give him a call, and if it's not convenient for him to come back, then I'll come back tomorrow!"

Brother Kong Fang of the Ming family also refers to the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty. In the circle of cultural relics trade, many people like to say hidden words. The reason for this is also very simple, that is, to avoid unnecessary trouble after being heard by ordinary people.

After all, the circle of cultural relics trading is still relatively chaotic in private. If there are expensive cultural relics, there is also a high risk of theft. Trading with hidden words is not something that insiders simply don't understand.

Because of this, the clerk thought for a while and said, "Sir, your surname?"

"My surname is Xu! Although I have never met your shopkeeper, I have been admiring it for a long time, and I was introduced by a friend surnamed Liu. I heard that the price in your store is fair, so I brought the goods here, and I want to talk to your iron shopkeeper!"

As he said these words, Xu Haibao lifted the small suitcase slightly. When the clerk saw this, he also knew that if this small suitcase contained ancient coins, it was estimated that there would be a lot of them. This also means that this is a big business!

Realizing that Xu Haibao was an insider, and he was introduced by a friend who was the shopkeeper, the clerk still made a call to Tie Zhongyi, who was not in the store. Knowing that someone was going to sell a batch of ancient coins of the Ming Dynasty, Tie Zhongyi, who was at home, naturally couldn't sit still.

He quickly said: "Invite the guests to the inner hall to serve tea, and I'll come over immediately!"

As the owner of Jiangnan Cultural Relics Street, who is mainly engaged in the collection of ancient coins, Tie Zhongyi is well aware of the importance of the source of goods. If the other party really has a batch of ancient coins of the Ming Dynasty in his hand, then he still has to find a way to take them down.

After all, ancient coins are the signature of his shop, and if he misses such an opportunity, it will not be easy to come across them next time. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer ancient coins that can be purchased from outside, especially in the Ming Dynasty.

Although there are still ancient coins that are traded from time to time, there are not many of them. Compared with the large demand for collectibles, Tie Zhongyi naturally hopes that the more goods in the store, the better. Even if he can't sell it for the time being, he doesn't have to worry.

Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, and cultural relics are all things that can maintain and appreciate their value in many cases. It's rare for someone to take the initiative to deliver to the door, so how can he refuse it?

After hanging up the phone, an old man who came to his house with guests also said tentatively: "There is business coming to the door?"

"Well, the clerk called just now and said that a customer had brought a lot of goods and was going to talk to me about business. By the way, old man, if you don't bother, can you deign to go to my shop for a cup of tea?

I heard from the clerk that the coins brought by the customer seemed to be from the Ming Dynasty. It's better to come early than to come early, you are an expert in this area, and I will ask you to help me at that time. How?"

"Okay, then I'll bother you! Xiaojie, why don't you go with you too! Didn't you say earlier that you want to collect ancient coins from the Ming Dynasty? It's rare to come across it, see if you can find a few good goods!"

"Is that good?"

The middle-aged man who accompanied the old man to the Tie family as a guest looked a little embarrassed when he heard this. After all, he came to Tie's house to talk about business, and followed Tie Zhongyi to see the goods, so he was somewhat suspected of robbing business!

Fortunately, Tie Zhongyi also said politely: "Mr. Sun, it's okay! Wait, if there are really any good goods, you just need to leave some for me." I'm also a landlord now, and I don't have any grain in my family, so I can't get in or out!"

With the increasing number of collectors of ancient coins, most of the precious ancient coins collected by Tie Zhongyi in his early years have been traded. Although this kind of transaction made him a lot of money, the corresponding good goods in his hands became less and less.

Compared with the early years, I could occasionally go to the countryside to pick up leaks, and now the cultural relics market is hot, and some countrymen are not as foolish as before. In this case, it is really not easy to acquire valuable and rare ancient coins!

When the three of them drove to Yabao Pavilion, under the guidance of the clerk, the three of them soon came to the inner hall of the small shop. At this moment, Xu Haibao has been waiting in the inner hall for nearly half an hour, and a cup of tea is about the same.

looked at Tie Zhongyi, who entered the door, and said politely: "Mr. Xu, I'm very sorry, there are two friends at home, so I'm late." I heard about Mr. Xu, so my friend also wanted to come and have a look, don't you mind?"

"Iron shopkeeper, you're welcome! The opportunity to meet Qin Lao should be an honor for the juniors!"

As soon as these words came out, among the three people who entered the door, the old man said in surprise: "Young man, do you know me?"

"Qin Lao is the leading ancient numismatic expert in Jiangnan, and the younger generation was fortunate to see Qin Lao in his early years. In fact, what I brought this time is also to explore the market. Wait a minute, please ask Qin Lao to ask for a word or two!"

Qin Mingyuan, a professor of archaeology at Jiangnan Institute of Geology, is also a well-known archaeological expert in Jiangnan Province. His area of expertise is ancient coins. In his early years, he was engaged in salvage in China, and Xu Haibao also saw him a few times.

In fact, among the three of them, Xu Haibao not only knew Qin Mingyuan, but he also knew the middle-aged people who came in. The reason is very simple, this middle-aged man is in Jiangnan Province, and he is also a well-known entrepreneur.

Sun Wenhao, the CEO of a real estate company. At that time, he made a lot of money from salvage, and Xu Haibao bought an independent villa in the city for his family to live in. At that time, the real estate developer was Xinghao Real Estate Company under his name.

When they met for the first time, after the four of them were polite, Tie Zhongyi was also very curious: "Mr. Xu, can you take the liberty of asking, who is the friend surnamed Liu you said earlier?"

"Liu Chenglin! By the way, his nickname is Rat Lin, I believe the iron shopkeeper should have an impression, right? I served in the same army as him. He told me that the iron shopkeeper couldn't help him in his early years!"

As soon as these words came out, Tie Zhongyi was really surprised. The reason is that the Liu Chenglin that Xu Haibao said should be regarded as his younger brother in his early years. Of course, although Liu Chenglin is not a big man now, he does have a good relationship with him.

Since he is Liu Chenglin's comrade-in-arms, Tie Zhongyi feels that he can still be trusted. But deep down, he was a little curious, since Xu Haibao was a soldier, why did he know Qin Mingyuan? These two circles seem to be a bit incompatible, right?
