Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 88 Questioning
Haizhu Middle Road, Zongyuan Stamp and Coin Market, second floor, stall 2748.

Compared with the bustle before the New Year, the market after the New Year is a little sluggish, with only a few individual tourists coming in and out occasionally, and they are all very stingy with their spending.

Today is the tenth day of the first lunar month, and it is the first day that Lu Feng returns to the stamp and coin market.

The entire stamp, coin and card market was almost open and everything was in order.

However, just after getting to work, Lu Feng heard an unexpected news.

The stall 1028 downstairs, originally owned by Jiang Rui, suddenly changed its owner after the New Year. If it was just like this, it would not be surprising. What was strange was that Jiang Rui did not take anything with him, and many people in the market did not find it strange.

"Brother Feng, do you know who the new boss is?" Huang Doudou came to open the door two days in advance and already had a lot of information.

Lu Feng had just had a holiday and was in a very good mood. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you know him?"

"No, you know him!" Huang Doudou kept it a secret.

Lu Feng thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head.

Huang Doudou lowered his voice and asked, "Do you still remember the person who bought your batch of goods from the Eighth Company of Fenbi?"

"Mr. Li?!" Lu Feng asked in surprise.

"My last name is not Li, my last name is Ling, Ling Dong."

"That's a bad name!"

"Ah? What do you mean?"

"I don't know why, but I subconsciously feel that people with the word 'dong' in their names won't get along with me." Lu Feng joked. Of course, the one he was thinking about was the uncle who made him speechless.

Huang Doudou didn't understand, but he still passed the information he received to Lu Feng. "He is a big shot! On the first day he came to the market, he almost opened up the entire market. According to several big players in the market, he used to be a famous distributor in the BJ Madian market."

BJ Madian is the country's largest stamp, coin and card distribution center, as well as the largest exchange venue.

"Then why is he here when he's not in BJ?"

"I don't know about that. But now many merchants in Zongyuan Market are very close to him. Looking at their behavior, they seem to be trying to curry favor with Ling Dong."

"Forget it, we just need to do our own business well. What others do has nothing to do with us."

"How can it be okay?" Huang Doudou asked anxiously.

Seeing his expression, Lu Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "What? What did you find out?"

"It's not that they discovered anything. They came to my house yesterday and asked for you by name."

"Looking for me?" Lu Feng was really surprised this time.

The only communication between them was the transaction of the eight-piece conjoined coin, which was also Lu Feng's first pot of gold.

Huang Doudou's words agreed with him. It was obvious that Ling Dong was a much more powerful person than Jiang Rui. Why would he come to him on his own initiative?

"What did he say?" Lu Feng asked.

"He only asked me when you would be back, but didn't tell me what he wanted from you."

Lu Feng thought about it and said with a smile: "Then let's wait until they come to our house next time. I have something more important to do here, can you help me to make it happen?"

As he spoke, Lu Feng took out a book from his canvas bag, flipped through it carefully, and soon pulled out a dozen banknotes. "Big Black Ten!!!"

"Zhande City!!!"

Seeing that Lv Feng had sealed two of them with special plastic film, Huang Doudou was surprised and asked, "They are in such good condition, where did you get them from?"

The two pieces in front of you, one is the most precious 10-yuan coin of the second edition, commonly known as the Big Black Ten, and the other is even more precious, it is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the first edition.

If both of these are real, they are worth at least hundreds of thousands.

"I found them at home! Even with my current level of knowledge, I still don't dare to confirm their authenticity. Please take them to Mr. An on the third floor and ask him to send them to PCGS for grading."

PCGS is the most professional coin authentication and grading organization recognized worldwide. Its dealer in the Zongyuan Stamp and Coin Market is located in 0311 on the third floor.

Lu Feng had never dealt with them before, but Huang Doudou was an old customer there, so he could be very familiar with them.

Whether the Big Black Ten is real or fake is just a matter of money for Lu Feng, but the authenticity of "Zhande City" is directly related to whether he can collect the first edition complete set this year.

By then, he will have enough reasons to invite Li Jicheng to join his team.

"Okay! I'll go right away." Huang Doudou went straight upstairs with the things.

It usually takes one to two months for PCGS to grade the items from the time they are submitted to the time the results are released, so this cannot be rushed.

Lu Feng began to sort the things he brought from the old house. Before he finished his work, the glass door was suddenly pushed open.

Lu Feng was a little surprised. Normally, no one would come in if he didn't open the door, let alone do business.

He looked up subconsciously, but saw Ling Dong, wrapped in a down jacket, walking towards him alone.

Lu Feng stopped what he was doing, put the things in a box, and smiled: "Hello, Mr. Ling."

"Lu Feng, we meet again! I said before that we would see each other again, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." Ling Dong, who is tall and half a head taller than Lu Feng, still speaks with a Shandong accent.

Lu Feng also said politely: "If I hadn't heard from my friend, I would have thought your last name was Li."

"That's the account operated by our team, used for conjoined banknote transactions." Ling Dong explained, and in a few steps he had come to the counter, saying with a smile: "When we met before, Mr. Lu was still a salesperson at Youxin Coins. I didn't expect that in just half a year, Mr. Lu has become a celebrity in the market. It's really impressive."

"My luck is far worse than Mr. Ling's." Lu Feng responded casually, waiting for the other party to speak first.

Since the other party came to my door right after I returned, it means one thing: he has spies in the market and my movements are under his control.

I have to admit, it does feel uncomfortable to be stared at.

"Let's not waste time talking. I came here mainly to confirm two things with Mr. Lu." Ling Dong supported the counter with both hands and stared straight into Lu Feng's eyes. "How can Mr. Lu judge the price trend of the eight-digit cent coin so accurately?"

"It was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse. To be honest, a customer came to my door to sell eight series of cent coins, but Mr. Lu Youxin was unwilling to take them. I happened to have some money left, and I thought that there would be no return if I put it in the bank, so I might as well buy some and try to invest." Lu Feng replied with a smile.

Ling Dong smiled and said, "Oh? As far as I know, it's not just that. You even thought about taking out a loan from Yang Yuechao to buy it, and later you made a bet with Lu Youxin and Yang Yuechao. Judging from the situation at the time, you were very sure that the price of the Eighth Company of Cent Coins would rise to that level, right?"

Listening to Ling Dong's tone, Lv Feng felt a little bit resistant, but he still maintained the demeanor of a businessman. "To be honest, there was a bit of gambling at the time, and part of it was because of the stimulation of the two bosses. I just wanted to take a gamble and prove myself. At the beginning, I didn't think it would rise so high. The price of more than 300 was the price I deduced after seeing so many purchase posts on the Internet. You can also see that I didn't buy at the highest point, and now the price has risen a lot."

"Boss Lu, I don't quite agree with your last statement." Ling Dong was very imposing, with an expression that showed he had seen through Lu Feng. "Although you didn't sell at the highest price, but overall, the profit you made from the first pot of gold after selling it was much higher than if you had continued to hold on to that batch of goods."

Seeing his expression, Lu Feng felt even more uncomfortable. He frowned and asked, "Mr. Ling, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to be so aggressive and ask about my privacy like an interrogation?"
