Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 21 Li Jicheng's Request
In the market, Lv Feng had no idea that Jiang Rui had mobilized so many people to kill him. He still went to work every day, read books, and learned new knowledge, feeling very fulfilled.

Until that Friday, he let Huang Doudou look after the store while he packed a suitcase and took a taxi directly to Jiuzang's company. After successfully completing the transaction, Lu Feng headed for the next target location without stopping.

"Please wait a moment. I'm still on the subway."

When Lu Feng accurately found an old residential area based on Li Jicheng's description, it was already past five in the afternoon.

On the phone, Li Jicheng was obviously also squeezing into the subway during the rush hour after get off work.

It was more than twenty minutes later that Lu Feng saw Li Jicheng, who was sweating profusely.

It was still sultry in Guangzhou in October. He was carrying a backpack and looked like a walking skeleton, without any aura at all.

"I thought Young Master Li would be picked up and dropped off by a luxury car, but I didn't expect him to squeeze into the subway like us ordinary people." Lu Feng teased.

"Do you know what self-reliance means?" Li Jicheng said as he walked into the community and used his card to open the sensor door, "Besides, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. I'm still a student, and my grandfather doesn't like me to show off."

The community is very old and not much better than the urban village where Lu Feng lives. It also doesn’t even have an elevator.

After climbing four floors, Li Jicheng opened the door and invited Lu Feng in.

Lu Feng took a quick glance and estimated that it was a two-bedroom house with a usable area of ​​less than 60 square meters.

The small living room only had a double sofa and a matching coffee table. There was an old-fashioned TV hanging on the wall, which was not plugged in, let alone a signal source or network.

"Sit down first, Coke or black tea?" Li Jicheng walked to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of black tea and a can of Coke, picked up a small plastic stool for himself, and sat opposite Lu Feng.

Lu Feng picked a Coke and opened it with a snap.

I was thinking, why does Li Jicheng live in such a house?

As if he had seen through Lu Feng's thoughts, Li Jicheng smiled and explained, "This is where my grandfather lived when he was young. Now it belongs to me. Don't underestimate it because it is small. It has a special status in our family."

He unscrewed the iced tea, gathered his eyes and motioned for Lu Feng to have a drink.

After touching him, he said, "You are the first outsider to step into this house since I came to Guangzhou to study."

"Wouldn't I be honored?"

"That was nonsense."

Lu Feng couldn't help laughing: "It's not much better than the 350 yuan a month I make at Shangyuangang."

"You have no taste!" Li Jicheng put down his tea, stood up and walked towards a closed room. He took out a long necklace from his chest and opened the door with the pendant.

It was at this time that Lu Feng discovered that the door was more than ten centimeters wide and was made of metal.

There was no light inside until Li Jicheng turned on the light, revealing the side-by-side shelves inside.

"Grass!!!"

After just one glance, Lu Feng couldn't help but shout out.

He began to doubt his own eyes.

Because not far ahead, the rows of shelves were filled with coins.

Just what Lu Feng could see at a glance included gold and silver coins, commemorative coins, and old-version banknotes that he rarely saw in the market.

The room was several times larger than an ordinary room, covering 30 to 40 square meters. In addition to the shelves of varying heights, the most conspicuous thing was a set of old-fashioned desks that were obviously used for office work.

It was piled high with books, tools and materials.

Lu Feng recognized these at a glance; they were all commonly used items in the market.

"How is it? Is it awesome?" Li Jicheng looked at him.

Lu Feng had nothing to say and could only bow according to the etiquette of the underworld.

"Brother, we have only met for a few times and you want me to see this. Is it appropriate?" "I am always very good at judging people." Li Jicheng said proudly, "Besides, if you are really capable, you can try. If you can take it away, you are awesome."

Lu Feng thought that even if this small house was very solid, could it be a perfect trap?

The most conservative estimate of the amount of stuff in here is in the nine digits.

For the average person, it's definitely worth the risk.

"Didn't you say you would show me something good?" Lu Feng didn't think about it any more.

"Yes. Wait, I'll take it out." Li Jicheng asked Lu Feng to go back to the hall, and after a while he took out a banknote.

When he put the banknotes on the table, Lu Feng almost stood up.

"A picture of herding horses! It must be fake, right? How can there be such a new picture of herding horses?"

Li Jicheng carefully held a corner of the banknote. Although the banknote was covered with a plastic film, he still looked very serious.

"This is the good stuff I want to show you. I bought this picture of herding horses from the first set of RMB at an auction last year for 12 yuan."

"If it's real, it's estimated to be no less than 300,000 now, and it's doubling almost every year." Lu Feng didn't quite believe it because the picture of herding horses was so new.

Any collector who has come into contact with old banknotes will know that among so many RMB notes, the most precious and rarest one is the one in front of you.

A painting of horse herding with a face value of ten thousand yuan.

The denominations of the first set of RMB were relatively large, with the largest denomination reaching 1 yuan. Later, when the first set was abolished and the second set of RMB was implemented, the exchange rate was 10000:.

In other words, ten thousand yuan of the first set of RMB could be exchanged for one yuan of the second set of RMB at that time.

The "Horse Herding Picture" was issued in May 51 and withdrawn from circulation in April 5, only being in circulation for more than three years.

It was issued in Inner Mongolia, and the technology at that time was very backward. The paper was not as good as it is today and was extremely easy to wear out.

So, to see a nearly new picture of a horse herder today, more than fifty years later, is simply a joke.

You may see pictures of herding horses on the market, but you definitely won’t find pictures of this quality.

Lu Feng finally understood why even Li Jicheng called it a good thing.

He quickly calmed down, stared at Li Jicheng and asked, "What is your purpose in letting me watch this?"

"I hope you can help me put together a complete set, all of which must be in this condition, almost brand new!" Li Jicheng's eyes were full of seriousness. It was the kind of seriousness that came from the soul, like a wish that must be realized in this lifetime.

"This is probably very difficult! Not just difficult, but extremely difficult." Lu Feng said truthfully.

"It's because it's difficult that I came to you. In fact, I lied to you before. I don't need any house. I'm selling these things just to raise money and put together a complete set of unprecedented quality."

Li Jicheng stared at Lu Feng: "As long as you promise to help me, I can entrust you to deal with all the coins here."

This is an offer I can’t refuse!

Even though Lu Feng was mentally prepared, his heart beat faster at this moment.

Just these things would probably be enough to open a few stalls in the market, right?

However, Lu Feng still considered it carefully for a long time, and finally shook his head: "It's too difficult for me now! Let's not talk about whether I can meet it. Even if I meet it, I can't tell whether it is true or not."

"The appraisal of the first set is difficult in itself, and involves a lot of historical knowledge and issues, and no one dares to say that they can fully understand it. Moreover, there are 62 pieces in a set, and I have never even touched the twelve treasures and the four heavenly kings."

"It doesn't matter, just promise to do your best to help me find it. I still have time." Li Jicheng was not discouraged.

"Can you tell me the purpose of your collecting this?" Lu Feng was very curious.

"This is the gift I give to my grandfather for his 80th birthday! It will be a unique gift that no one would have thought of, and it must be my grandfather's favorite gift!" Li Jicheng's voice became extremely excited and his face flushed.
