Chapter 346: Copper Coins
Wu Shao really went to inquire about the old man Song beating the side drum. Sure enough, as Zhang Yu expected, this box was dug up from the ancient tomb, and the old man Song thought it was a treasure, and found a lot of experts to identify it, all of whom thought it was ordinary golden silk nanmu.
In order to find a box for the fake listening wind bottle, Old Man Song fell in love with the box at a glance, and he didn't expect to be picked up by the sharp-eyed Zhang Yu.
"Bai Lao, how much is this box worth?" Wu Shao asked eagerly, although the box is small, but in the eyes of some collectors, they don't think so, the thousand-year-old golden silk nanmu, this gimmick alone is enough to catch people's eyes.
"It's hard to say, the things of the Han Dynasty don't dare to flow on the market anymore, they can only be sold secretly, and the box is relatively small, and the collection value has been reduced a lot, I estimate that it is more suitable between 2 million and 3 million. Bai Lao frowned. He was silent for a while.
Wu Shao's eyes lit up when he heard Bai Lao's words, this price is not bad.
"I have an uncle who particularly likes golden silk nan wood products...... Wu Shao didn't hesitate, and hurriedly turned his head to Bai Lao and said.
"Since Wu Shao is interested in this box, then I won't argue. Bai Lao stroked his white beard and said with a smile.
"I wonder if Brother Zhang can sell me this box?" Wu Shao turned to Zhang Yu and asked.
"It's useless for me to hold the golden silk cloud phoenix pattern makeup box, since Wu Shao likes it, I'll give it to you. Zhang Yu said without hesitation, maybe the box of golden silk nanmu can be exchanged for some older copper coins.
"This can't be done...... Wu Shao frowned, it's one thing to buy, it's another thing to give away, those who do their job don't like to owe favors to others.
"Hehe, Wu Shao, don't worry, I haven't spoken yet, this box is really useless, but I've been researching copper coins recently, I don't know if I can find a few good copper coins and small jewelry, I want to give them away." Zhang Yu said with a smile.
"Copper coins, jewelry, I want as many as I have here, then this matter is decided, I will take you to the warehouse later, and take whatever you like." As soon as Wu Shao heard that this was the case, this business was worth it, and he said with a wave of his arrogant hand.
When Zhang Yu heard this, he was overjoyed, and he didn't expect that he would have such a big gain from this trip, so without further ado, he quickly stood up and said, "It's better to go and see it now." ”
Seeing that Zhang Yu and Wu Shao were going to see the copper coins, Bai Lao also completed the task and left under the pretext.
After sending Bai Lao away, Zhang Yu went to the backyard under the leadership of Wu Shao, and he didn't expect that there was such a wide, simple and quaint courtyard behind Gu Yazhai's shop, which was full of exotic flowers and plants, which opened Zhang Yu's eyes.
However, it is also relieved that the people who can play antiques are those who are not short of money.
"If it weren't for Brother Zhang's insistence today, I would have lost a lot, the 10 million is a small thing, if the news of Gu Yazhai being deceived spreads, then I don't want to mix here. Wu Shao, who walked into the courtyard, said with a sigh.
Zhang Yu also understands that this industry pays attention to a reputation, if the reputation is bad, then the business will naturally not be good.
"I'm just handy, nothing. Zhang Yu said modestly.
"Anyway, Brother Zhang did me a great favor today, and I have nothing to thank, come to Xiao Liu!" Wu Shao beckoned, and Manager Liu next to him immediately walked over with the card and handed it to Wu Shao.
"Wu Shao, what do you mean by this?" Zhang Yu said with a frown.
"It's not interesting, there are 500,000 in this card, don't be too little, brother, just take it as my thanks. Major General Wu plugged into Zhang Yu's hands and said.
"It's out of sight when it comes to money, I'm very curious about some strange things, I may have to ask Wu Shao for help......" Zhang Yu shook his head and stuffed the card back into Wu Shao's hand, he thought to himself that it would be so troublesome to buy some copper coins, it was better to befriend Wu Shao, and it would be more convenient to do things in the future.
"This ...... Well, then even if I owe my brother a favor. Tell me what you want to buy in the future. Wu Shao also saw that Zhang Yu really didn't care about the money, so he didn't force it, and threw the card to Manager Liu and said with a smile.
"Then let's look at the copper coins first. Wu Shao walked to a room, and Manager Liu hurriedly opened the door.
A strong smell of patina came to his face, Wu Shao was worthy of being an expert in copper coins, he had collected too many copper coins, and there were all of them in several rattan baskets in front of him. Slightly valuable copper coins are placed in different boxes, which almost fill an entire shelf.
"I've been interested in copper coins since I was thirteen years old, and I will collect them as long as there are copper coins over the years, and now I have accumulated so much, you see, this side is from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this side is from the Song Dynasty, and this side is from the Ming Dynasty. Wu Shao proudly pointed to some boxes and said.
"Oh?" Zhang Yu looked curiously as Wu Shao pointed out, he switched his yin and yang eyes, and saw that the older it was, the stronger the black qi on the box.
"You can look at it casually, as for the jewelry outside, you can take it if you like it, I still have some things, call me if there is anything. Stay here for dinner at noon today, don't refuse, or I'll be angry. Wu Shao said with a smile.
Zhang Yu nodded, and Wu Shao instructed Manager Liu to let Zhang Yu take the copper coins in it casually, and then left in a hurry.
The copper coins in the box are indeed high-quality, Zhang Yu found that there are only copper coins after the Sui and Tang dynasties, and most of these copper coins are not too black, Zhang Yu in order to seek the quality of the copper coin sword, he decided to use the kind of copper coins left by the heroes and heroes of the world, which can maintain the power of the copper coin sword to the greatest extent.
If you choose according to this requirement, then the choice is much lower.
Zhang Yu looked at every box on the shelf, so many copper coins of different shapes and dazzling colors, he couldn't help but open his eyes.
Seeing such copper coins for a while, Zhang Yu still picked them up next to each other and enjoyed them. Every time you pick up a copper coin, you will be given the corresponding knowledge of the time when the copper coin was made, the time it was issued by the emperor, and so on.
It's a pity that Zhang Yu didn't care about this, he focused his energy on the amount of black gas contaminated on the copper coins, although some copper coins are very old, and they are indeed not suitable for making copper coin swords.
After a busy morning, Zhang Yu only chose eight suitable copper coins, which made Zhang Yu not satisfied. He originally thought that such a large antique shop could find dozens of coins at random, but after a moment's hesitation, he selected dozens of copper coins from them.
He hurriedly recalled the steps of making the copper coin sword, and found that there was a probability of failure, and after picking for a while, he really couldn't pick it out, so he had to call Manager Liu and ask him to register.
Manager Liu looked at the copper coins that Zhang Yu took out, except for one that was the Han Dynasty, the rest of the dynasties had it, and it was particularly strange that he didn't choose some copper coins with relatively high value at all, could it be that the young man in front of him was really just playing.
Since the things ordered by the boss must be done well, after he finished registering these copper coins, he thoughtfully took a beautiful wooden box and put all the copper coins in.
After getting the copper coin, Manager Liu took Zhang Yu to the store to take a look, and chose a few crystal necklaces, Zhang Yu had never given a girl necklace, so he thought about it and picked a few more.
"Our Wu Shao has already set a location in the Drunken Immortal Building, if it is convenient for Mr. Zhang, let's go over now?" Manager Liu asked after packing the necklace and box and handing it to Zhang Yu.
"Who else is eating?" asked Zhang Yu.
"There are also Mr. Chen, Bai Lao and others. Manager Liu said, Zhang Yu nodded and put away the copper coin, and followed him towards the Drunken Immortal Building.
