Chapter 174: Fame is poisonous and beats ancient money

Three months passed in a flash.

Su Bai completely integrated into the capital's antique circle.

The most obvious changes are:
Even if she is not holding Boss Yu's hand, she can still be greeted by the bosses with smiles while walking on the antique street of Liulichang.
Whenever something happened, there would always be shopkeepers and bosses who would go to the antique shop late at night. They didn't expect to miss anything, but just picked some items at a reasonable price and went back, and then let Su Bai bring them something to look at.

These are considered good.

It can be said that it was a success. In the capital's antique circle, Su Bai has become a number one figure since then.

Moreover, because of his age and gender, he appears to be so unique.

There are bad things, actually.

For example, on the antique street not far from the late-night antique shop,

It became very difficult for her to pick up the leaks.

The antique stall owner who knew Su Bai, when he saw her coming, his first reaction was to smile and say something nice.

When she started to prepare to buy something, she was sorry but she wouldn't sell it, no matter how much money she had.

I would rather miss out on a few businesses and make less than ten thousand or eight thousand, but I must not let go of the opportunity to make a fortune.

Who doesn't know that the boss Su Baisu in front of him has accumulated sky-high price antiques by relying on his unique skill of picking up leaks, and played a famous game in front of a group of seniors.

Su Bai: ...

Furious fall!

Another day of returning empty-handed.

Su Bai walked through an alley, depressed and took a shortcut to go back to the late-night antique shop to catch up on his sleep.

When he reached the entrance of the alley, a large bag filled with plastic bottles blocked Su Bai's path.

The owner of the bag is an old woman who scavenges. She is holding the bag in one hand and holding a little girl about five years old in the other hand.

There was a middle-aged man in front of the old lady. He was holding a shuttlecock in his hand and observing her carefully.

The workmanship of the shuttlecock is very rough, and it can be seen that it was made by myself.

"Auntie, to tell you the truth, this is an ancient coin. If I sell it, I can give you 100 yuan."

The middle-aged man raised his head and said.

The old lady was surprised and said: "So valuable?"

She didn't notice that the middle-aged man's hands were trembling slightly due to excitement.

However, Su Bai noticed.

What kind of coin can make people so excited?

Su Bai was a little curious, glanced over, and found that it was really a treasure.

However, what made Su Bai unhappy was that the other party only wanted to spend 100 yuan to buy the ancient coins in the old woman's hands.

It can be seen from the shabby clothes of the old woman and the little girl that their lives are quite embarrassing and they have to make a living by scavenging.

The middle-aged man was a little unkind.

"Grandma, my shuttlecock."

When the little girl saw that the middle-aged man was holding her shuttlecock and would not let go, she shook the old woman's hand anxiously.

The old lady comforted her: "Don't worry, grandma will buy you a new shuttlecock."

"For 100 yuan, how about I transfer my mobile phone to you?"

The middle-aged man suppressed his inner excitement and asked again.

The old lady looked at the middle-aged man: "Do you really want to buy it for 100 yuan?"

"Well, I have a hobby of collecting ancient coins. This coin is of good quality, so I can buy it at a high price. Of course, you can also take it to the ghost market nearby, but it will only cost you 60 or [-] yuan."

The middle-aged man handed the shuttlecock back to the old lady, acting as if he was going to leave if she didn't sell it.

The old lady couldn't understand ancient coins. She only knew that some ancient coins sold at the stalls in the ghost market were sold for hundreds of yuan. She didn't expect that the ancient coins she used to make shuttlecocks were so valuable.

Just when the old lady was about to agree, Su Bai stood up.

"Grandma, can I take a look at this shuttlecock?"

Grandma Su Bai asked.

The old lady turned around and saw a young man with a kind face. She nodded and handed the shuttlecock to Su Bai.

Seeing the shuttlecock fall into Su Bai's hands, the middle-aged man was a little anxious.

"Hey! Do you want to sell it or not? If not, I'll leave!"

He made a gesture to go.

The old lady couldn't help but worry, fearing that the other party wouldn't buy the shuttlecock, so she said to Su Bai, "Hurry up and give it to him after reading it."

"I think this copper coin is quite good. He offered 100 yuan, right? Then I'll offer 200 yuan, and you can sell it to me."

In order to appease the old lady, Su Bai added 100 yuan.

"Do you really want to?"

"I'm on the live broadcast and I won't lie to you."

Su Bai smiled, pointed at the camera and said.

The old lady felt at ease now and no longer worried about the middle-aged man not buying the shuttlecock.

On the contrary, the middle-aged man became anxious, glared at Su Bai fiercely and said, "I'll pay you 250 yuan!"

When the old lady saw this, she immediately realized that the copper coin on her shuttlecock might not be that simple!
The middle-aged man had lied to her when he said he wanted to leave!
Su Bai looked at the copper coins on the shuttlecock and came to a conclusion. He pretended to be surprised and said: "A good official, a descendant of Italy? It's quite auspicious."

The old lady nodded: "Yes, the child's mother saw the words on the money as auspicious, so she strung a red string and kept wearing it around her neck. Two days ago, the child saw other children playing shuttlecock for fun, and she also clamored for one. Then I made it into a shuttlecock."

Su Bai nodded. Fortunately, it didn't take long to make the shuttlecock, so the coin wasn't worn and its value wasn't affected too much.

"Let's do this. I'll pay 500 yuan, and you give me the copper coins on the shuttlecock."

Su Bai made another offer.

Upon hearing that Su Bai had raised the price again, the middle-aged man said angrily: "I'll pay 550 yuan!"

"This guy is so shameless. He only adds 50 yuan at a time."

"Just now he wanted to buy the old lady's coins for only 100 yuan."

"The old lady makes a living by scavenging, and he has the nerve to lie to others. How shameless!"

"You are stingy, you lied to an old lady, won't your conscience hurt?"

Netizens were very angry and cursed the middle-aged man in the live broadcast room.

"You'd better abide by the industry rules, otherwise you won't be able to survive on this street!"

The middle-aged man looked at Su Bai and warned.

"What are the industry rules?"

Su Bai pretended to be stupid and said blankly.

This time it's the middle-aged man's turn to be depressed. It's not an insider trying to steal the treasure from him. Who can reason with him?

According to industry rules, outsiders are not allowed to get involved in something that others are interested in first, unless the price cannot be negotiated and the item is given up.

In his opinion, Su Bai's behavior broke the rules!

But seeing the confused look on Su Bai's face, and considering his young age, it's really possible that he doesn't understand these rules.Netizens all laughed.

"The anchor has started!"

"This is not a stall in the antique street. What are the industry rules?"

"Well done to the anchor, he was the one who broke the rules and deceived this old woman!"

In desperation, the middle-aged man had no choice but to say to the old lady: "Auntie, this coin is not for circulation at first glance. It was made casually by the ancients for good luck. I bought it for 550 yuan, just to use it to possess someone." Fu, this price has almost reached the top, you definitely can’t sell it at this price elsewhere.”

The old lady looked at Su Bai. More than 500 yuan already satisfied her psychological price. She wouldn't dare to think about it going any higher.

What surprised her was that Su Bai had a look of surprise on his face and said: "This is the first time I've seen coins used by the ancients to seek good luck, and they can actually be made into talismans. It just so happens that I haven't been very lucky recently. How about 1000 yuan?" ?Give me this coin."

"Hold the grass! The anchor actually has the nerve to say that he is unlucky?"

"It's bad luck to make thousands of dollars every once in a while. You want to go to heaven!"

"Where does the anchor have the nerve to say this?"

The middle-aged man was speechless and wanted to slap himself in the face, saying that it could be used as a talisman. Now that's it. The young man in front of him joined in the fun and raised the price with him!
The old lady glanced at Su Bai and kindly advised: "My child, you are young and have just started working, right? If you don't understand, don't spend money randomly."

"Grandma, it doesn't matter. I'm doing a live broadcast. Netizens like this kind of thing. If you get it in the live broadcast room, you might be able to sell it for a high price."

Su Bai said a few words of relief to reassure the old lady.

The middle-aged man was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he could not tell the details of the copper coins.

He could only grit his teeth and say: "I'll add 100 yuan, one thousand one hundred!"

"Uncle, didn't you say that this copper coin is not for circulation and is not valuable? Why are you trying to rob it from me?"

Su Bai frowned deliberately and said dissatisfiedly.

The middle-aged man was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath. I was clearly interested in the copper coins first. You robbed them from me. How come I am now robbing you?
Su Bai shook his head: "Okay, let's buy it at a fixed price of 5000 yuan."

The middle-aged man roughly guessed the details of the coin, but he was not yet sure whether it was true or false.

The price he offered to buy the coin was actually part of a gamble.

According to the original plan, if he won the bet, he would make a lot of money, and if he lost the bet, he would lose hundreds of dollars.

When Su Bai increased the price to 1000 yuan, he had already begun to hesitate. Now that it had been increased to 5000 yuan, he felt that the risk of this gamble was too great.

After hesitating for a long time, seeing that the old lady wanted to agree to Su Bai, he gritted his teeth and said: "I will add another hundred, five thousand and one hundred yuan!"

"Who does this guy look down on?"

"You only add 100 yuan each time, you are disgusting!"

"Anchor, don't give him face, continue to increase the money, let's see if he dares to continue to increase the price!"

Netizens were extremely angry, and some even sent gifts to ask Su Bai not to let the other party take advantage of him.

Su Bai saw this and pretended to be angry: "Friend, you are not kind to increase the price like this. Do you really think that I can't afford it? I have to buy this coin. 1 yuan, do you want to increase it?" "

As soon as these words came out, not only the old lady was shocked, but even the middle-aged man's eyes widened.

In order to vent his anger, this young man made a random offer?
"You don't even know what this coin is, but you will spend 1 yuan to buy it? Don't be kidding!"

The middle-aged man laughed, then turned to the old lady and said, "Auntie, don't be fooled. There is no shop like this after passing this village."

The old lady also hesitated. At first, she thought the ancient coins were valuable, but now she felt that Su Bai had been stimulated by the middle-aged man, so he offered [-] yuan just to show his quickness.

With so much money, how long does it take for her to pick up trash?

The old lady felt that what the middle-aged man said made sense. After Su Bai calmed down, he would most likely regret not buying her coins.

Su Bai also saw the old lady's doubts and comforted him: "Grandma, don't worry, I can still afford this money. The gifts given by the audience in my live broadcast room today are more than this amount. I said in the live broadcast room that I would buy them." Now that I have this ancient coin, I won’t regret it, otherwise what will the audience think of me?”

The old lady was surprised: "Is live streaming so profitable?"

Su Bai said: "You don't have to worry about money. I feel that this coin can bring me good luck, so it is worth buying it for 1 yuan."

"If you want to spend [-] on it, just buy it yourself, idiot!"

Seeing that Su Bai was serious, the middle-aged man became angry and turned around to leave.

He did not dare to continue betting on the authenticity of this ancient coin. Even if it was real, he would not make any profit if he bought it for 1 yuan.

"No, no, I know this ancient coin is not worth so much, but you don't have to waste 1 yuan just for one breath."

The old lady persuaded Su Bai again. She only hoped that Su Bai could buy this ancient coin at a normal price.

Seeing the middle-aged man walking away, Su Bai showed a smile and said: "Grandma, this coin is actually called Yi Sheng Qian. I spent 1 yuan to buy it, and I actually got a big advantage."

The old lady looked surprised: "You didn't lie to me?"

Netizens also became excited.

"I knew how the anchor would suffer!"

"The anchor is willing to spend so much money to buy this coin, I guess it is not simple!"

"Just saying this, will the old lady still be willing to sell it to the anchor?"

"I think the old lady is an honest person and she shouldn't regret it."

"Who knew, this is an antique worth tens of thousands of dollars!"

Su Bai did not want to take advantage of the old lady and said truthfully: "Lucky money is also called lucky money. It is actually a kind of ornament made by people in ancient times to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings. It is indeed used to wear and enjoy. Although it is money, it is not actually Not in circulation.”

"As for its origin, it is said that a couple in ancient times were pregnant with a child. They were worried that evil spirits would harm the child on New Year's Eve, so they played with the child with eight lucky coins and placed them under the child's pillow. ' came, and just as he was about to reach out and grab the child's head, there were suddenly several golden lights beside the pillow, which scared the 'haunted' away. The next day, the adults told everyone about the copper coins that scared away the 'haunted'. From then on, everyone followed. If you do this, the child will be safe, and since '祟' has the same pronunciation as 'sui', this kind of money is called lucky money."

"There is another saying."

"Pose up!"

"The anchor knows so much!"

Netizens applauded.

The old lady came back to her senses and asked: "So, this winning coin is quite valuable?"

Su Bai chuckled and said, "Yes, you can sell it for at least 2 yuan at a regular merchant. Look at this, I will buy this coin for 2 yuan."

"No, no, I just promised you to sell it for [-] yuan, and you can't add more money."

The old lady waved her hands repeatedly. This was the first time she saw someone actively adding money when buying something.

Su Bai shook his head and said: "Actually, I offered ten thousand just to test the person just now. If he is knowledgeable, he will continue to increase the money. But now it seems that he only has a little knowledge and doesn't know that this is the winner." I won’t cheat you on the value of money. Even if I buy it for 2 yuan, I can still find another buyer and resell it for several thousand yuan without losing money.”

Netizens all understood at this time that Su Bai had pretended to be stupid and bid with the middle-aged man because he couldn't stand his behavior. Now he couldn't imitate him and deceive the old lady.

After some persuasion, the old lady agreed to accept 2 yuan.

"Originally I shouldn't have taken this money, but the child's mother died of illness a few years ago, and the child's father was also ill and hospitalized recently, so he needs a lot of money. Thank you very much."

The old lady said gratefully.

2 yuan is a suitable price, and it can bring a lot of help to the grandmother who is in financial difficulty.

Netizens did not blame the grandmother for asking for an extra 1 yuan.

Since the old woman did not have a mobile phone and could not receive mobile phone transfers, the two went to the bank and transferred 2 yuan through the counter.

Su Bai bought shuttlecocks and candied haws for the grandmother's granddaughter at a roadside stall, which turned her worries into joy.

After receiving the money, the old lady finally felt at ease and thanked Su Bai repeatedly.

"Grandma, if I don't have anything else to do, I'll leave first."
