Although the initial completion of contact with Caroline. Rockefeller's task, but because there is still the next task to be arranged, Ji Cheng and others have not returned to China for the time being.

In the past two or three days, Ji Cheng has not been idle, in addition to finding a professional company to buy a mansion for himself, he also visited Zhu Licheng and Zhu Siguo father and son.

Of course, the busiest thing is the establishment of a pawn company.

Many things can be handed over to professional institutions, but some things have to be done by yourself, such as finding an office building, and such as the decoration of a pawn shop, all of which have to be seen by Ji Cheng himself.

The application has been submitted.

According to the feedback from the law firm, it is expected to come down in a week.

Until then, the company can hire.

Today, Ji Cheng, Zhu Siguo and Cheng Hailin came to Warrick Street in the Tribeca neighborhood, and their company's office area was rented here, and the main industrial building here was cheaply rented.

I'm interviewing.

Ji Cheng suddenly received a call from Pang Ming, telling him that the Nine Dragons Sword had been mailed over.

He said sorry to Zhu Siguo and left first.

Downstairs in the industrial building.

Pang Ming came down with a wooden box and greeted him with a little flattery, "Mr. Ji, have you eaten lunch?" ”

Ji Cheng said casually: "I just eat, what about you and Mr. Wang?" ”

"I also ate it, and he asked me to go back to China in the past few days, saying that the mission had failed, and it was useless for me to stay here." Pang Ming didn't think so at all, "Go back, go back, it's useless to step on me, alas, this Mr. Wang, when he invited me out of the mountain, it wasn't his current attitude, or Mr. Ji, hello, whether I have any use value or not, he has a kind attitude towards me as always." ”

Ji Cheng was amused by him, "Look at what you said, Mr. Wang is still good, if you want to change someone else, you have made such a big mistake, I'm afraid you would have been skinned and cramped a long time ago." ”

"That's just as well." Pang Ming had a bitter face, "Forget it, don't talk about him, Mr. Ji, if there is nothing to do, I will go back to the hotel to clean up first, and I will fly back tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Eh, don't worry, do you know where in New York there is a flea market that sells antiques?" Ji Cheng asked.

Pang Ming carefully recalled, "The retro market in Midtown of the Isle of Man is not bad, there is a small open-air parking lot, there are many antique dealers, antique shops, and even furniture, jewelry, bottles and cans, it is said that the market has been open for more than 40 years, and opposite is the antique mall, which has high-end antique shops and antique auction houses, and some museum collections are found there." ”

Ji Cheng snorted, "Okay, then you go upstairs with me first, wait for me for a while, in the interview, after the interview, you accompany me to the flea market." ”

"Okay."

Pang Ming has been wanting to stammer since he knew that Ji Cheng was a super rich man, no, as soon as Ji Cheng opened his mouth, he immediately agreed.

Ji Cheng led Pang Ming upstairs.

Of course, he didn't really want Pang Ming to accompany him to visit any flea market, but wanted the other party to be his "time witness" and witness the witness from the flea market to the Nine Dragons Sword.

Arrange for Pang Ming to wait in the office.

Ji Cheng began to repair the pile of scrap metal in the wooden box in another office.

Because he knew exactly when the sword was destroyed, he probably knew how many minutes it would take to repair it.

Fifteen minutes.

Based on the calculation of 60,000 energy points per minute, he will spend a total of 900,000 energy points.

Ji Cheng sat there quietly, touching scrap iron with both hands.

One minute.

Three minutes.

Ten minutes passed, and the scrap metal did not change at all.

He wasn't in a hurry at all, he just continued to use time to fix.

Finally, time stumbled to the fifteenth minute.

The next moment, a magical scene was born!

Scrap iron suddenly turned into a sword, yes, a drastic change in an instant, unlike the previous change of turning soy sauce into soybeans bit by bit, this time it was a direct transformation, and even the scabbard appeared in the next moment, maybe this sword was stained with the substance of the scabbard when it was burned, otherwise it would not have happened, after all, time repair and repair is only an item, and it can't be created out of nothing.

The scabbard is beautiful, dotted with ruby sapphires, and dense diamonds, which look extremely luxurious.

This also proves that the Nine Dragons Sword was indeed crashed and burned.

Ji Cheng didn't care if the plane crashed or not, and while closing the time to repair, he pulled out his sword and looked at it carefully.

The body of this sword and the hilt are about five feet long, because one foot of the Qing Dynasty was equal to thirty-two centimeters, so this sword looks about one hundred and sixty centimeters.

Well, the Qing Dynasty tailoring ruler is 35.5 centimeters, and the measuring ruler is 34.5 centimeters, but the construction ruler is used to make weapons, so Ji Cheng calculates the construction ruler.

In order to verify whether the length is correct, Ji Cheng also took out the tape measure that he had prepared a long time ago to measure.

"It's really one hundred and sixty centimeters, and it's exactly as recorded."

Ji Cheng bowed his head slightly and continued to observe the rest of the sword.

This sword is different from the traditional Han sword, it is a curved sword to be precise, a bit like the shape of a Mongolian sword, the hilt is very long, about a foot long, and nine golden dragons are carved on it, all of which are made of gold.

Looking at the scabbard placed next to him again, Ji Cheng thought thoughtfully: "It should be the Nine Dragons Sword, and I will go to the flea market to wash it and let Hailin see it later." ”

Putting the sword back in its scabbard, he threw it into the mysterious space again.

walked out of the office, came to the next door, pushed open the door, and Ji Cheng shouted inside: "Xiaopang, go to the flea market." ”

Pang Ming, who was playing with the computer, immediately stood up, "It's here." ”

……

Take a taxi to the flea market.

It's the same as Pang Ming said, it's an open-air parking lot, and there's an antique mall opposite.

It's just that most of the people in the parking lot are second-hand clothes, and there are only stalls that rarely sell antiques.

However, Ji Cheng still pretended to be interested and squatted in front of a booth selling cards.

Pang Ming also squatted down.

There are a lot of cards here, such as professional basketball star cards, Pokémon cards, and baseball star cards, etc., anyway, you can see cards in the collection market, and this stall basically has them.

Ji Cheng didn't know much about these, so he casually pointed to a bag beast card and asked, "How much is this card?" ”

The stall owner was a middle-aged white man in his forties, and he immediately greeted him with a smile: "This bag beast card is a prize for the special competition of the official parent-child competition held in 1998, when thousands of families participated in the competition, but there are only a few dozen on the market at present, and the price is still relatively expensive. ”

Ji Cheng hasn't spoken yet.

Pang Ming scoffed and said, "Are you kidding? It's worth $3,000 to save it in such tatters? Three hundred dollars is not too much. ”

The stall owner's face darkened, "What are you talking nonsense?" Do you understand? ”

"Why don't I understand?" Pang Ming glared, "The bag beast card is only worth it if it is perfectly preserved, and the well-known third-party appraisal company PSA said that there are only eleven bag beast cards in the world that are perfectly preserved, so in 20 years, there was a bag beast card that sold for 150,000 US dollars, and you have insect bite holes on it, saying that 300 dollars are raised, if you want me to say, do you like to sell 30 dollars." ”

The stall owner was speechless by Pang Ming's words, and was silent for a while, and said angrily: "If you want to keep it intact, you go to the auction, why are you coming to my side?" Three hundred dollars, love or not. ”

Pang Ming saw that Ji Cheng seemed to be very interested, and continued to bargain: "Impossible, if you take this card to the appraisal agency for appraisal, people are not happy to appraise it, and my friend is a loyal Pokémon lover, and wants to buy one or two collectibles, so that I will give you fifty dollars at most, if you want, I will pay now, if you don't want to wait for ten years, no one may buy it, who wants it if it is rotten like this?" ”

The stall owner also tried to refute it.

As a result, Pang Ming's eloquence was too good, and he seemed to really know Pokémon cards, so he forced the Pokémon card with a price of $3,000 to be sold for $60.

Ji Cheng's heart is talented.

"Okay, sixty dollars for you." Ji Cheng paid, reached out and took the bag beast card and took a look, but he didn't take it seriously, and put it in the bag casually.

The stall owner counted the money and sighed: "It's a pity that this card is not perfectly preserved, if it is perfect, it is really worth 150,000 US dollars." ”

Huh!

Wait!

It's not perfectly preserved, so it's worthless, and what if you use time to fix it?

Ji Cheng vaguely saw a route to make a fortune again, he looked sideways at Pang Ming, and said in Mandarin: "Xiao Pang, if this card is kept perfectly, is it really valuable?" ”

"That's for sure, the bag of beast cards you bought just now is actually issued in total less than a hundred, it's hard to say how much, there are only eleven that are perfectly preserved at present, so the price is a bit high, this thing is like stamp collecting, if you keep it well, it's worth money, and if you don't save it well, it's worthless." Pang Ming said bluntly.

Ji Cheng probably understood, pointed to the stall and said, "You see what other cards are more valuable if they are kept perfectly?" ”

"I'll see."

Pang Ming stared at the stall for a while, then suddenly pointed to a Pikachu card and said, "Show me that card." ”

Although this card is also in tatters, the stall owner still carefully picked it up, handed it over and said: "This is the Pokémon Illustrator series, only thirty-nine copies were released at the beginning, although this one is very poorly preserved, but it is still very collectible." ”

Pang Ming ignored him, just looked down, and then said to Ji Cheng in Mandarin: "Mr. Ji, this card should be real, if it is preserved as a tenth-level perfection, the market price is 220,000 US dollars, but now it is so tattered, to be honest, I don't have too much for two hundred dollars, but because it is too rare, it is estimated that the price of this boss will definitely not be too low, I don't think you need to buy it." ”

Ji Chengxin said that I have time to repair the magic technique, and I can restore it to perfection by buying it, what is not worth buying?

"You ask him how much it costs."

"Okay...... Dude, how much is this card? ”

"Don't sell it for less than a thousand dollars."

"A thousand dollars, you can keep it for the funeral."

“…… How much do you say? ”

"Fifty dollars."

"Shet, what are you kidding? This card was originally issued only 39 ......"

The two of them were haggling over there again.

Ji Cheng watched with great interest over there, and in the end, Pang Ming couldn't cut it anymore when he got three hundred dollars.

Because he thought of time to repair, Ji Cheng simply bought all the cards in the valuable series, and he didn't care how these cards were preserved.

What Jordan rookie season flying shackle card, Jordan rookie star card.

In addition to Pokémon and American professional basketball star cards, Ji Cheng also bought cards such as Yu-Gi-Oh and Ultraman at the recommendation of the stall owner, all of which have one characteristic, that is, they are very poorly preserved, but if they are perfectly preserved, they are very valuable.

In the end, I swept around the neighborhood and bought about two hundred cards, the most expensive ones were only two or three hundred dollars, and the cheap ones were even only a few dozen cents.

After buying it, Pang Ming smiled and said: "If these cards are all preserved perfection level together, I am afraid that they will be worth millions of dollars, but unfortunately they are all tattered, alas, they are not very valuable." ”

Ji Cheng said with a smile: "Scarcity is expensive, how can there be so many perfectly preserved cards, otherwise the price would have fallen long ago." ”

"Yes." Pang Ming nodded in agreement.

Of course, Ji Cheng wouldn't tell Pang Ming that he had time to repair the magic skill, he said casually: "By the way, do you know what antiques are more valuable in the beautiful country?" ”

"I don't know much about antiques, but I know a little bit about cards because I play a lot of cards." Pang Ming tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I remember hearing that when I came to the beautiful country to carry out a mission, I heard that the coins of the beautiful country have some collectible value, such as the well-preserved 1944 one-cent coin can be worth more than 400,000 US dollars, and if it is not perfectly preserved, it may only be worth 10,000 US dollars. ”

Ji Cheng's eyes lit up and said, "Then let's go to the coin store and have a look." ”

"Okay, there's a numismatic shop across the street." Pang Ming is quite familiar with this place.

Ji Cheng and Pang Ming crossed the road and found the coin shop.

The two walked in, and Ji Cheng asked directly at the white female shopkeeper, "Is there a 1944 penny coin?" ”

"Yes, but it's not too high." The shopkeeper pointed to a one-cent coin on the counter and said, "This is the 1944 one-cent coin." ”

Ji Cheng walked over and looked down, and found that the Golden Shield score was only thirty-one points, according to his understanding of the Golden Shield score, he knew that this was a general product, and the convex part was not worn much, but all the main images were clear and had a certain collection value, "How much?" ”

The shopkeeper offered, "Nine thousand eight hundred dollars." ”

Ji Cheng said speechlessly: "The Golden Shield score is so low and it costs nine thousand eight hundred dollars? ”

The female shopkeeper rolled her eyes and said, "If the Golden Shield score is above sixty-five points, I will ask for $408,000, will I give you $9,800?" Even if it has a rating of more than 50 points, I will ask for 100,000 dollars. ”

Ji Cheng thought that he had time to repair it anyway, and was ready to buy it, so he confirmed: "Is it genuine?" ”

"The coins on my side have been authenticated by professional institutions, and there can be no fake." The female shopkeeper said categorically: "If you find someone to identify it as fake afterwards, you can report it to the relevant authorities." ”

Ji Cheng knew that the beautiful country was still relatively strict about this area, "Okay, I want it, do you have any more valuable coins to recommend?" ”

"I have a 1943 one-cent coin with a gold shield rating of sixty-five cents and a price of $250,000, do you want it?" The female shopkeeper recommended.

Ji Cheng pretended to be embarrassed: "I really like one cent in 1943, but 250,000 US dollars is too expensive, is there a cheaper one?" ”

"Cheap ones are only very low ratings." The shopkeeper pointed to another poorly preserved coin and said, "For example, this 1943 one-cent coin, with a gold shield score of 25 points, is a defective product, and the overall wear and tear is seriously corroded, only 3,000 dollars." ”

Ji Cheng bought it without hesitation.

Then he and Pang Ming walked around the store, and he chose to buy all the coins with a relatively low score to keep the perfect value, including some coins from Canada and other countries, such as the 500 yuan plus currency banknote issued by Canada in 1935, with a score of 65 points or more and worth 156,000 US dollars, but unfortunately, Ji Cheng bought this one with a score of only 31 points, and he only spent eight or nine hundred US dollars.

There is also a beautiful 1890 Treasury note Friedberg for 1,000 dollars, and it is said that this Treasury bond is worth more than $2 million with a gold shield rating of 82 points, but unfortunately, the store has a rating of only 36 points, and even then, the owner will only sell it for 100,000 dollars.

Hundreds of coins were mined.

If the scores are all above 65 points, the estimated value is more than 100 million US dollars.

At the end, Ji Cheng, who had bought a lot of things, was ready to close the net, he deliberately found a shop that sold swords, and then opened Pang Ming while looking at the swords, "Xiao Pang, I'm a little thirsty, can you help me buy a bottle of drink?" ”

"Okay Mr. Ji, I'll go."

Pang Ming immediately went out.

Ji Cheng saw that he was walking away, so he casually picked up a Chinese antique Mongolian sword with a style that looked a bit like the Nine Dragons Sword and said, "How much is this sword?" ”

The shopkeeper was a white fat man with a big beard, and he glanced at it casually, "I bought this curved sword from an old Chinese man, he said that it was a curved sword worn by Mongolian warriors during the Qing Dynasty, since you are interested, I will give a preferential price, two hundred dollars." ”

Ji Cheng was too lazy to bargain, "Okay, I bought it." ”

After paying the money, he walked out of the store, stood at the newsstand at the intersection, and took out the Nine Dragons Sword while no one was paying attention.

Not long after, Pang Ming appeared with a drink, and he was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Ji, why did you come out?" ”

Ji Cheng smiled and pointed to the Nine Dragons Sword in his hand and said, "I just saw that this sword was very good-looking in the sword antique store and bought it, look at it, does it look like the Nine Dragons Sword?" ”

Pang Ming didn't think much about it at all, just glanced sideways, "Yo, it's really like it, how much did it cost to buy it?" ”

Ji Cheng smacked his lips and said, "It's not expensive, it's only two hundred dollars." ”

Pang Ming said with a smile: "The ruby sapphires and diamonds decorated on the scabbard must be fake." ”

Ji Cheng said: "Do you still want to buy it for two hundred dollars?" I just bought it because I thought it looked good, okay, I'm a little tired from shopping, let's take a taxi back. ”

"Okay." Pang Ming took the initiative to call a taxi.

Ji Cheng smiled slightly, and finally whitewashed the Nine Dragons Sword.
