Chapter 290: Encounter with Zhao Qianxi
"How much do you think is appropriate?" Lao Wen did not offer the price directly, but looked at Taber and asked him with a smile.
Taber hesitated a little, "This, Mr. Ye, what do you think?" ”
"If it's really big five emperor money, this set can be said to be first-class, with a market value of four or five hundred thousand." Ye Chaoyang said: "The three sets of Little Five Emperor's coins are probably only worth about 30,000 yuan. ”
"And the king of the West rewards a lot of money, and the quality is good, between 100,000 and 200,000."
"Some of the other antique coins should be genuine, and this collection of ancient coins will cost a million."
"Mr. Ye has good eyesight!" Lao Wen immediately gave a thumbs up, a little surprised in his heart.
Not only was this young man familiar with the price of a single ancient coin, but he was also able to calculate the value of his entire booklet in a short time, which can be said to be quite good.
"Lao Tai, can you accept this price?"
"I can still afford to spend a million." Taber nodded, looked at Ye Chaoyang and said, "But Mr. Ye, you just seemed to say that all this is based on the real thing?" ”
"That's right." Ye Chaoyang nodded, sighed and said, "It's a pity that several pieces in this collection are fakes. ”
"The most lethal is the Qin Banliang in the Great Five Emperors' money, if this one is a fake, you can't give the price of a complete set."
"You say my Qin Ban Liang is a fake?" Lao Wen's face changed, stared at him and said, "Mr. Ye, you can't just say general, you say it's a fake, there must be a reason, right?" ”
"This thing shouldn't taste sweet." Ye Chaoyang stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Banliang out of the set, handed it to him and said, "Why don't you try it?" ”
"What do I do with ancient coins?" Lao Wen said a little unhappily.
Taber was also a little incomprehensible, "Mr. Ye, what is the truth of this?" ”
"It's simple." Ye Chaoyang said with a smile: "We should all know that whether it is Qin Banliang or not, it is still the currency of other ancient dynasties, which is mainly made of copper. ”
"Right?"
"That's right." The two nodded slightly, but they were still confused.
Ye Chaoyang said with a smile: "Copper, when exposed to the air over time, tends to produce rust spots, which we call patina. ”
"And when the patina reaches 2,000 years, it will taste sweeter."
"So if this thing is the real Qin Dynasty Qin Banliang, you don't need to use any high-tech equipment, you can know if it's true or fake if you taste it."
"That's what I said, but germs are going to die, right?" Lao Wen said with some resistance.
Ye Chaoyang said with a smile: "We humans have been in the world of bacteria since we were born, but we can't see it. ”
"Just lick it and rinse your mouth."
"Okay, I'll try." Lao Wen didn't believe that his things were fakes, so he immediately took Qin Banliang and licked it with his tongue.
In just an instant, he spat out, "What does this smell like!" It's so unpalatable! ”
"In this way, Boss Wen didn't feel the sweetness." Ye Chaoyang said with a smile.
Lao Wen nodded and said, "It's really not sweet." But how do you conclude that bronze at a distance of more than 20 million will have a sweet taste? ”
"You can try this five-baht coin of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty." Ye Chaoyang smiled and handed him the five baht money.
Lao Wen licked it again, and immediately exclaimed, "It's really sweet!" ”
"It seems that Mr. Ye is right." Taber sighed and said, "This Qin Ban Liang is a fake. ”
"I'm sorry Lao Tai, I really didn't know this was a fake, otherwise I would never have taken it!" Lao Wen hurriedly explained.
Taber nodded and said, "I know you're human." However, today's transaction, I am afraid that the price will have to be carefully discussed. ”
"No problem." Lao Wen said immediately.
Taber asked, "Mr. Ye, you said before that there are some fake coins in this collection, I don't know which ones?" ”
"The others are fine, not of much value." Ye Chaoyang stretched out his hand and flipped through the set, and quickly took out six or seven ancient coins from it, "They are all copper coins from the Qing Dynasty." ”
"It is estimated that the person who sold this thing to Boss Wen did not dare to underestimate Boss Wen's eyesight, but did something in some places that were easy to be eye-catching."
"In that case, how much is this collection worth now?" Taber couldn't help but ask.
Ye Chaoyang stretched out his hand and made a gesture and said, "Up to 800,000." ”
"Directly reduce 200,000?" Lao Wen's face turned a little pale.
Ye Chaoyang said: "The main reason is that the big five emperor coins cannot be set together, which leads to a big discount in value. ”
"Of course, this is my personal estimate, how much is it, Boss Wen can discuss it slowly with Taber."
"No, it's 800,000." Lao Wen shook his head and said, "Lao Tai, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Okay, that's the price!" Taber nodded.
The two quickly made a deal.
Lao Wen said: "Lao Tai, Mr. Ye, today's loss, I must find the guy who sold my things, I won't bother anymore, and I'll go back." ”
"I'll send you." Taber said.
Lao Wen waved his hand and walked outside, "No need, goodbye." ”
"Okay, you go slowly." Taber nodded, watched him walk out, then looked at Ye Chaoyang and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, thanks to you, otherwise I would have lost 200,000 yuan in vain." ”
"There are more than 50,000 yuan in this card, and the password is six or six, you can go directly to the bank to withdraw money."
"Okay." Ye Chaoyang smiled and put the card away. "Taber, nothing else, I'll go first."
"Alas, don't worry, let's have a cup of tea and go." Taber stopped him and said with a smile: "In addition, Mr. Ye, you have good eyesight, and you should be more likely to touch Qin Banliang than me." ”
"If you have a chance in the future, please be sure to get me a Qin half tael, the price is easy to say."
"If you have the chance, you can." Ye Chaoyang nodded and said.
After a few cups of tea at Taber's place, he got up to take his leave.
looked at the time, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Chaoyang made a call to Uncle Liu, and went to the hotel.
As soon as he walked into the door of the hotel, a nice voice said with a little surprise: "Brother Ye? ”
"Huh?" Ye Chaoyang turned his head and saw that it was a beautiful woman wearing white jeans. "Qianxi?"
"It's really you, Brother Ye." This beauty is Zhao Zikun's sister, Zhao Qianxi.
The two hadn't seen each other for a while, but they didn't expect to meet by chance here.
A woman dressed sexily and wearing heavy makeup next to her stared at Ye Chaoyang for a few moments, and said with some disdain: "Qianxi, who is this person?" ”
"Yan Hong, this is my eldest brother Ye." Zhao Qianxi walked up to Ye Chaoyang with a smile, naturally hugged his arm and said, "Brother Ye, this is my good friend, Yan Hong." ”
"Hello, Miss Yanhong." Ye Chaoyang smiled and stretched out his hand and greeted politely.
Yan Hong smiled, raised her hand and stroked her hair, without any intention of shaking hands with him.
