My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 92: Pretending to be a collection, thousands of silver dollars exposed
"What are you talking about? It's so lively." The third brother-in-law Sun Ji came over with a cup of water. The third sister whispered to Sun Ji about what had just happened. Sun Ji looked surprised. This fourth brother gave him a lot of surprises today.

First, there were health banquets, then porcelain on antique shelves, and finally million-dollar vases. Now, a casual gift for his wife, but she won't sell it even if someone offers 1.5 million. 'This fourth child is quite a treasure hunter.'

"I didn't expect that, Lao Si, you also know about the antique porcelain business."

Not to mention the eldest sister and the third sister, even Han Chaoxia was curious. When did Li Feng learn this and how could he get so many things? As for the things mortgaged by the fishing friends, Han Chaoxia was afraid that she didn't believe it now.

"I'll just learn the basics."

Li Feng had recently been learning a bit from Gao Jiu. After all, he didn't know how many of these things he would need in the future, so he couldn't be completely clueless. It would be unethical, wouldn't it? He was actually planning to pretend to be a collector, but he had a lot of knowledge in this area.

Fortunately, I've learned a little bit recently, so I can put on a good show in front of people who don't know much about it. "I occasionally chat with others and look for some small things. I never thought I'd get lucky and get a few decent things."

"The business of this B&B was not doing well before, so I just wanted to exchange it for some money. But I didn't expect that the value is so high, which is beyond my expectation." Li Feng's words were half true and half false, real and fake, not to mention that Han Chaoxia actually believed it.

After all, Li Feng has had the habit of collecting small things since he was a child. He remembered that when he returned to his grandmother's house a few years ago, she took out her childhood collection, a small jar full of various small collections, such as one-cent, two-cent, and five-cent banknotes and coins, copper coins, treasury bonds, and a roll of coins such as the legal tender of the Republic of China.

In addition, there are some beautiful stones, metal coal blocks, beautiful glass balls, and the best one is probably the silver hairpin that belonged to the old lady. To be honest, Han Chaoxia even laughed at the fact that there were a lot of junk collected, but nothing valuable.

Now some of them did match up. I'm afraid Li Feng didn't expect such a coincidence. But Han Chaoxia connected the dots and imagined some scenes. It was really an accident.

"Brother-in-law, this guy is like this. He's loved collecting strange things since he was little. My mother-in-law has always complained about him. I even made fun of him back then, asking why he didn't collect some good things. I'm afraid he's taken it to heart." Han Zhaoxia touched the soft flesh on Li Feng's waist and pinched it. "He's quite vindictive. Are you feeling proud now? I admire you for collecting good things."

"No way."

Li Feng quickly pressed down Han Zhaoxia's hand. It hurt. Why didn't she learn something better? These things hurt when they're pinched. "I'm just afraid you'll laugh at me. Besides, who knew these things were so valuable? I just bought them as a hobby."

"I didn't feel comfortable telling you, for fear that I might have accepted something bad and made you angry."

"Humph."

Han Zhaoxia snorted. "I'm afraid the fishing and the other stuff are just a cover."

"That's not the case."

Li Feng thought to himself that this guy must be fishing as a cover, the problem was just the other way around.

"Hmph, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."

Han Zhaoxia was about to start again. This guy had hidden quite a bit of private money, probably all the money earned from the store. Well, Li Feng laughed and felt a little guilty. Not to mention, he really had hidden a little bit of private money.

For example, I bought about 150,000 yuan of pension insurance for each of my parents, and I also bought a little bit for myself. I also spent more than 100,000 yuan on fishing tools and other things. In addition, I spent at least 100,000 yuan on going out fishing with a group of friends.

It's not an exaggeration to say that this guy has hidden a few million in private money. After all, the breakfast shop is really profitable. But Li Feng is really tired of it. After all, there are many people who take advantage of the popular breakfast shop opposite the school.

Although Li Feng had found some connections, he still had to deal with it. He was really tired of the food and drink. This was one of the reasons why Han Dong persuaded him. Running a B&B didn't have too many such problems, right at his doorstep.

Who wouldn't give me some face? Besides, fishing is relaxing and you can make a little money. Who knew Han Dong would be such a rip-off? Li Feng fell right into a big trap. Fortunately, things are different now. Across time and space, a health banquet was held, featuring the best delicacies in Jiangnan. Many antiques also arrived, and a real source of wealth was flowing in.

At this moment, Han Chaoxia was pretending that her usual fishing and eating and drinking were all a cover for her collection. Of course, Li Feng immediately took advantage of the situation and simply beat her to death. This way, he would have an excuse to tinker with something in the future.

"It is okay."

Li Feng seemed a little guilty, which made Han Zhaoxia even more curious about how much private money this man had hidden. "Why don't you dare to say it?"

"No, brother-in-law, I'm here. I'll tell you later."

Li Feng seemed to be feeling more and more guilty, and Han Chaoxia became more and more certain that Li Feng had spent a lot of money on his collection, and it was probably not a small amount.

"Hahaha."

"But you have to be careful with antique porcelain."

"Yes, of the antique porcelain on the market right now, if I can't say 100%, at least 99.9% are flawed. If you don't have a good eye, it's best to avoid them. I was lucky enough to buy a batch, but if you ask me to buy more now, I'll have to find an expert to check it out," Li Feng said with a smile. "With my mediocre skills, I can't do anything rash now."

"I'm glad you knew."

Han Chaoxia was afraid that Li Feng would get too proud of himself. After all, he was not a professional in this field, and his eyesight could not compare to those who specialized in cheating and defrauding people. If he was fooled, it would be a huge loss.

"You can rest assured."

Li Feng said with a smile. "I only accept orders from a few acquaintances now. I'll buy it at a low price and pay after it's authenticated."

"That's safe."

Sun Ji nodded, and it was good that Li Feng had a peace of mind.

"There's nothing we can do. These people are too sophisticated these days," Li Feng said helplessly. "I saw it last time. The bottle mouth and bottom were both old, but the middle was new. Tell me, these people are really going to extremes."

"Half-words, three-part flowers, peeling flowers, really everything is available."

These were all said by Gao Jue and Li Feng, and now they were all brought out. Sun Ji and others who didn't listen were stunned.

"I never thought there were so many ways to cheat." "No wonder they say this business requires a good eye. Most people can't think of so many things." Sun Ji said with emotion.

"Of course I am. I haven't been dealing with expensive items lately, but I have managed to get some coins," Li Feng said with a smile. "They're generally not expensive, and counterfeiting is quite difficult, so they're also easier to authenticate. Even though I earn less, it's safe and secure."

"That's the truth."

When it comes to making money, it's better to do it steadily. Ordinary people don't have the ability to earn more money than they know, especially if it's something like a pie falling from the sky. Don't touch it. Everyone knows that this pie will not just fill your stomach, it may cost you your life.

"Wouldn't it be easier to counterfeit coins?"

Han Zhaoxia didn't quite understand, so Li Feng smiled and said, "I'm an outsider. Compared to porcelain, jade, calligraphy, and paintings, coins are actually much more difficult to counterfeit. You know, coins from all eras have excellent anti-counterfeiting measures."

"Another thing is that coin identification is actually much easier than other identifications."

"For example, although there are many counterfeits of silver dollars, as long as you have some basic knowledge, you can basically tell them apart..." Li Feng has been learning a lot about this from Gao recently. Although he is still a little far from being a master, he is good enough to fool people.

Sun Ji, Han Chunlan, Han Qiuzhi and Han Zhaoxia were all stunned by what Li Feng said, and some very professional-sounding words kept coming out of Li Feng's mouth.

"I didn't expect that a single silver dollar could have so much to say. Different locations and years can have such huge differences."

Sun Ji sighed. "Old Four, you must be doing a lot of research."

"It is okay."

Li Feng said with a smile. "I haven't collected much, so naturally I have some experience."

"Did you collect a lot?"

Han Zhaoxia immediately grasped the key point. "How many silver dollars do you have?"

"Oh, not much."

"tens of?"

"not enough."

"Are there hundreds?"

Li Feng shook his head again. "A few thousand, just for fun, not a lot."

"How many thousand?"

The price of a silver dollar is now around one thousand, and at best more than one thousand. If you calculate it, a few thousand is not millions. Han Chaoxia really didn't expect that Li Feng actually received so many silver dollars.

“In fact, silver dollar collection is not very meaningful.”

"What?"

“Prices are rising slowly.”

Li Feng said, "I really don't want to accept it, but there's nothing I can do. I'm not good enough." Sun Ji looked at Li Feng, not knowing what to say. "Thousands of coins! This old man is really doing great things quietly."

"Why are you all here? What are you talking about?"

My brother-in-law Zhao Qingbei also came over. The lamb had already been brushed and the lid was put on to continue roasting.

"Speaking of the fourth brother, brother-in-law, you might not know that the fourth brother is now a collector."

Sun Ji laughed and said, "I just heard that this fourth brother has a collection of silver dollars, thousands of them, that's really amazing."

"Silver dollars, the kind with big dollars?"

Zhao Qingbei was a little surprised that Li Feng was doing this.

"Of course, it's a dollar. One coin costs thousands of dollars now."

Thousands of dollars a piece, thousands of them, that's millions. Zhao Qingbei realized it and looked at Li Feng in disbelief. Are you kidding me? "Si Lao, when did you start collecting?"

“I’ve always collected some things.”

"Brother-in-law, you don't know, this person has had a hobby of collecting since he was young. He collected some things at home when he was a child. I don't know how many things he has collected secretly over the years without telling me." Han Chaoxia looked like she was going to settle the score with him tonight.

“Not much, actually.”

Li Feng thought to himself, if it weren't for the time-space hotel upgrade reward script tour, how could he have gotten so many antiques? Apart from TV dramas and novels, it is really difficult to get so many things in real life.

Especially since the system has some restrictions. Alas, I don’t know when the next upgrade will be. Last time, it only took ten people to upgrade, but next time it will probably take at least fifty people, maybe hundreds or even thousands of people to upgrade for the second time.

Alas, when I think about how I was a little impulsive and went to the Siheyuan script without planning it carefully, and only got two boxes of treasures out of it, I really regret it.
