Chapter 16

As the domestic cultural relics collection market is becoming more and more popular, as a major economic and cultural province in China, Jiangnan naturally also has a market specializing in cultural relics trading.In this market, there are people who sell things every day, and naturally there are also people who buy things.

It's just that regardless of the buyer or the seller, the collection of cultural relics depends on vision and experience.Although there is no shortage of good things like "picking up leaks", things like "punching eyes" are often heard.It is undoubtedly difficult in reality to make a fortune by picking up leaks.

Especially in such a market that specializes in the sale of cultural relics, how many of the vendors selling cultural relics are fuel-efficient lamps?In contrast, people who want to come here to shop for treasure, in addition to money, eyesight is also very important.

Xu Haibao, who only stayed home for one night, really didn't want to see the nurse MM strongly recommended by his mother.On the pretext that he needed to come to the provincial capital for something, he took his sister home by the way, borrowed a car the next day and went straight to the provincial capital.

When he arrived in the provincial capital, Xu Haibao didn't go to Jiangnan University where his younger sister was studying, but drove directly to the largest cultural relic street in Jiangnan.After parking the car, he walked into the cultural relics street with a small suitcase.

Looking at the vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the cultural relics street, there are many antique-looking things piled up in front of each stall.Some of these things on the stalls are indeed real things, but the prices will definitely not be cheap.

On the contrary, there are many fake things in it.If you don't have any eyesight and buy with the mind of "picking up the leak", the most likely situation will be "punching".There are still very few people on this street who can really 'find the leak'.

Carrying a small suitcase, Xu Haibao went straight to the 'Yabao Pavilion' in Antique Street.He had been to this antique shop many times in his previous life, but most of them came with the boss.Xu Haibao is undoubtedly the most familiar with the situation of this store.

In addition, there are many antique shops in the cultural relics street.But Xu Haibao knows that this store is best at identifying ancient coins.Many buyers who like to collect ancient coins also like to come here to shop for things.

Compared with other antique shops, I like to fool buyers with fakes.The reputation of this 'Ya Bao Ge' is still very good!

Walking into this small antique shop, the most conspicuous thing is the display cabinets placed in the shop.It stores coins made by various dynasties in the past.However, the prices of the ancient coins on the counter are not too expensive.

If you really want to find good products in the store, you must have certain channels to find good things from the boss.The real expensive ancient coins, the boss will not put them in the store, but keep them more carefully and don't want to show them easily.

The clerk who was greeting customers in the store saw Xu Haibao who was still carrying a small suitcase when he entered the door, and said politely: "Hi, sir, welcome to Yabaoge. May I ask what you need, sir?"

Facing the polite inquiry from the clerk, Xu Haibao also said directly: "Is your shopkeeper here?"

If you are not familiar with the store, if you want to find the real person in charge, you will often ask if the 'boss' is there.But Xu Haibao has been here many times in his previous life, and he knows the owner of this shop, and he likes to be called shopkeeper.

After hearing what Xu Haibao said, the clerk also knew that this person should know his boss.He also quickly said: "Sir, I'm very sorry, the shopkeeper is not in the store now. Is there anything wrong, sir?"

"Yes! Brother Kong Fang from the Piming family wants to ask your shopkeeper to help you manage the eyes. If the price is right, I plan to sell. Can you give him a call? If he is not convenient to come back, then I will come back tomorrow! "

Brother Kong Fang of the Ming family was also a copper coin of the Ming Dynasty.In the circle of cultural relics trading, many people like to say some hidden words.The reason for this is also very simple, it is to avoid unnecessary troubles after being heard by ordinary people.

After all, the circle of cultural relics trading is still relatively chaotic in private.If there are expensive cultural relics, there is a high possibility of robbery.Trading in hidden words is not something that insiders can't understand at all.

Because of this, the clerk thought for a while and asked, "What's your surname, sir?"

"My surname is Xu! Although I have never met your shopkeeper, I have admired your name for a long time. I was introduced by a friend named Liu. I heard that the price in your store is fair, so I brought the goods here and wanted to talk to your shopkeeper Tie. talk!"

While saying these words, Xu Haibao slightly lifted the small suitcase.Seeing this, the clerk also knew that if the small suitcase contained ancient coins, there might be quite a lot of them.This also means that this is a big deal!
Realizing that Xu Haibao is an insider and introduced by a friend who is the shopkeeper, the clerk still called Tie Zhongyi who was not in the store.Tie Zhongyi, who was at home, couldn't sit still when he learned that someone was going to sell a batch of ancient Ming coins.

Quickly said: "Invite the guests to the inner hall to serve tea, I will come right away!"

As the owner of Jiangnan Cultural Relics Street, who mainly collects ancient coins, Tie Zhongyi is very aware of the importance of the supply of goods.If the other party really has a batch of ancient coins from the Ming Dynasty, then he still has to find a way to get them.

After all, ancient coins are the signature of his store, if you miss this opportunity, it may not be easy to meet again next time.Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer ancient coins that can be purchased from outside, especially those from the Ming Dynasty.

Although there are still ancient coins traded on the market from time to time, the number is not many.Compared with Ruo Da's collection market demand, Tie Zhongyi naturally hoped that the store would have as many sources as possible.Even if he can't sell it temporarily, he doesn't have to worry.

Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, and cultural relics are things that can maintain and appreciate in value in many cases.It's rare for someone to take the initiative to deliver goods to your door, so how could he refuse the door?
After hanging up the phone, an old man who brought guests to his house also asked tentatively, "Is there any business?"

"Well! The clerk called just now and said that a customer brought a lot of goods and planned to talk to me about business. By the way, old man, if you don't mind the trouble, can you condescend to come to my shop for a cup of tea.

I heard from the clerk earlier that the coin that the customer brought seemed to be from the Ming Dynasty.It's better to come early than to come early, you are an expert in this field, and I will ask you to help Zhang Zhangyan when the time comes.how? "

"Okay, then I'll bother you! Xiaojie, why don't you go together! Didn't you say earlier that you want to collect ancient coins from the Ming Dynasty? It's a rare coincidence, let's see if you can find some good ones !"

"is this okay?"

The middle-aged man who accompanied the old man to Tie's house as a guest seemed somewhat embarrassed to hear this.After all, he came to Tie's house to discuss business, followed Tie Zhongyi to see the goods, so he was suspected of robbing the business!
Fortunately, Tie Zhongyi also said very politely: "Mr. Sun, it's okay! If there is any good stuff later, you just need to save some for me. Right now, I am also a landlord who has no food in stock, so I can only go out and not in!"

As more and more people collect ancient coins, most of the precious ancient coins collected by Tie Zhongyi in his early years have been traded.Although this kind of transaction made him a lot of money, the corresponding good goods in his hand were getting less and less.

Compared with the early years when I could occasionally go to the countryside to pick up leaks, the cultural relics market is booming now, and some country people are not as easy to fool as before.Under such circumstances, it is really not easy to acquire valuable and rare ancient coins!

When the three of them drove to Yabaoge, under the guidance of the clerk, the three of them quickly came to the inner hall of the small shop.At this moment, Xu Haibao had been waiting in the inner hall for nearly half an hour, and he drank about the same amount of tea.

Looking at Tie Zhongyi who entered the door, he politely apologized: "Mr. Xu, I'm very sorry. Two friends came to the house, so I came late. I heard about Mr. Xu, so my friend also wanted to come and have a look. you do not mind?"

"Tie shopkeeper, you are welcome! It should be an honor for this junior to have the opportunity to meet Mr. Qin!"

As soon as these words came out, among the three people who entered the door, the old man said in surprise: "Young man, do you know me?"

"Mr. Qin is the leading expert on ancient coins in the south of the Yangtze River. The younger generation was fortunate to meet Mr. Qin in the early years. In fact, the things I brought this time are also to explore the market. I will ask Mr. Qin for more advice later!"

Qin Mingyuan, a professor of the Department of Archeology at Jiangnan Institute of Geology, is also a well-known archaeological expert in Jiangnan Province.Its field of expertise is ancient coins.In the early years when he was engaged in salvage in China, Xu Haibao also met him several times.

In fact, among the three, Xu Haibao not only knew Qin Mingyuan, but he also knew the middle-aged man who came in with him.The reason is simple. This middle-aged man is a well-known entrepreneur in Jiangnan Province.

Sun Wenhao, the boss of a real estate company.Back then he made a lot of money in salvage, so Xu Haibao bought an independent villa in the city for his family to live in.The real estate developer at that time was Xinghao Real Estate Company under his name.

When the four met for the first time, Tie Zhongyi also said curiously, "Mr. Xu, may I ask, who is the friend surnamed Liu you mentioned earlier?"

"Liu Chenglin! By the way, his nickname is Mouse Lin. I believe the iron shopkeeper should have an impression, right? He and I serve in the same army. He told me that the iron shopkeeper couldn't support him in the early years!"

As soon as these words came out, Tie Zhongyi was really surprised.The reason is that the Liu Chenglin that Xu Haibao mentioned was supposed to be his younger brother in his early years.Of course, although Liu Chenglin is not a big shot now, he does have a good relationship with him.

Since he was Liu Chenglin's comrade-in-arms, Tie Zhongyi felt that he could still be trusted.But deep down in his heart, he was somewhat curious. Since Xu Haibao was a soldier, why did he know Qin Mingyuan?These two circles seem to be a bit inconsistent, right?
