Chapter 17 The First Million

In private trading of ancient coins, buyers and sellers usually don't like having too many outsiders around.Xu Haibao originally wanted to deal with a batch of salvaged ancient coins, but he didn't expect that Tie Zhongyi would bring two guests with him.

Fortunately, these two people are very well-known, and they understand that this kind of transaction is inconvenient for outsiders to know.After all, the two of them are considered relatively well-known people, and they can't do bad things even if they think about it.What's more, with Tie Zhongyi belt brought, how could Xu Haibao object?
After a simple 'walking the road', Tie Zhongyi also breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that he was the younger brother he had brought with him in the early years and the guest who was introduced.In their line of business, if you deal with strangers, you need to be extra cautious.

After all, if you really buy something that is dirty or of unknown origin, it is very likely to cause disaster!
Under the watchful eyes of Tie Zhongyi and others, Xu Haibao put the small suitcase he brought in on the corner of the antique Eight Immortals table in the inner hall.After opening the suitcase, Tie Zhongyi and the others quickly saw nearly a thousand coins with a simple luster.

In the past, most of the ancient coins were made on the basis of calculation.Suddenly seeing so many ancient coins, Tie Zhongyi and the others were a little surprised.But compared to Tie Zhongyi and Sun Wenhao's joyful faces, Qin Mingyuan frowned slightly.

Seeing Qin Mingyuan's expression, Xu Haibao also said at the right time: "There are a lot of coins, and I don't know how to maintain them. Mr. Qin, the Tie shopkeeper, and Mr. Sun, please help us to taste them!"

Xu Haibao, who took the initiative to invite the three to help identify him, was not worried that the three would join forces to trick him.On the contrary, Xu Haibao felt that since Qin Mingyuan and Sun Wenhao were more here, Tie Zhongyi must not be able to intentionally lower his price.

With Xu Haibao's explanation, Qin Mingyuan didn't intend to be a guest at all, and said directly: "Xiao Tie, find a piece of silk!"

"it is good!"

Knowing that Qin Mingyuan was interested in coming and he was an expert in this field, Tie Zhongyi would naturally not refuse Qin Mingyuan's help in identification.In terms of authenticating ancient coins, Tie Zhongyi was undoubtedly of a higher standard than Qin Mingyuan.

He quickly found a piece of yellow silk Tie Zhongyi and spread it on the table of the Eight Immortals.Qin Mingyuan, who brought a magnifying glass and gloves, began to sort the coins in the suitcase.Before long, the coins in the suitcase were sorted and placed on the silk.

Looking at the well-sorted ancient coins, Qin Mingyuan said curiously: "Mr. Xu, may I ask the origin of these coins? I have been engaged in the identification of coins in the Ming Dynasty for many years, and this is the first time I have seen so many coins."

"Mr. Qin, I can't afford to be called Mr. Xu. Just call me Xiao Xu. This box of ancient coins must be regarded as a blessing left by our ancestors! My hometown is Fulin Island, Baohai, and these coins are from Found in a wooden box in an old house.

Although I don't know much about the price of ancient coins, when I was in the army in the early years, I heard Liu Chenglin, the company commander at the time, talk about the value of ancient coins.You also know that I am an ordinary person, and I don't know how to maintain these ancient coins, so I might as well sell them. "

"Fulin Island! The island in the East China Sea that is farthest from the mainland?"

When Xu Haibao said the name of his hometown, Qin Mingyuan quickly thought of the inhabited island in this province that is the farthest from the inland.It's just that in Qin Mingyuan's opinion, this batch of ancient coins might not have been left by the ancestors of the Xu family.

The most likely scenario is that an elder of the Xu family caught it in the sea in the early years.It is well known that there are many sunken ships under the East Sea.It is also very possible that fishermen occasionally catch it.

Just judging from the color and style of the coin, Qin Mingyuan felt that the coin was not like an ancient coin salvaged from the sea.The only thing that can be confirmed is that these ancient coins from the Ming Dynasty are all real, and there is no suspicion of fraud.

"Yes!"

Knowing this batch of ancient coins to be sold, the best argument is family heirloom.If it is salvaged from the sea, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles.In order to avoid trouble, Xu Haibao could only cover up the origin of the ancient coins.

As the saying goes, "a broken home is worth ten thousand crowns", the history of inhabited Fulin Island can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, and it is very possible that the ancestors left some legacy.After all, things are in Xu Haibao's hands, so he has the right to interpret them!

As Qin Mingyuan continued to appraise these ancient coins, he suddenly said after a while: "Xiao Xu, are all the ancient coins you found here? The value of these coins is not too high, but the quantity is better, the total price should be not bad."

To Qin Mingyuan's surprise, Xu Haibao smiled and said, "Since Mr. Qin mentioned this, I can't hide it too much. These coins can be regarded as a batch I found! I will keep some of the good ones for the time being." Don't want to sell.

After all, this is a treasure left by our ancestors, so we should keep it in mind!Bringing these here is also to find out the price and see how these coins are doing.If I need money in the future, maybe I will consider selling the rest! "

As soon as these words came out, Qin Mingyuan also smiled and said: "You kid, it seems that you still understand some market conditions. I think you should have sorted these copper coins at home. You should keep all the rare ones in your hand." Bar?"

"Old Qin's eye! Before coming to the provincial capital, I did inquire about the prices of ancient coins of the Ming Dynasty. Although the value of these I brought is not too high, it is better in quantity. I think the iron shopkeeper should be interested?"

Tie Zhongyi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with keeping Xu Haibao back.After all, those who have goods in their hands hope that their things can be sold at a good price.But Tie Zhongyi was still curious about what good things Xu Haibao left behind.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Brother Xu, since you were introduced by Xiao Liu, I will definitely not treat you badly. I want all these coins, so you can make a price! I believe you can listen to Xiao Liu's words about how I am. pass?"

"Yes! The old company commander said that it was thanks to your help that he was able to become a soldier back then. Otherwise, he would still be an idle gangster on the street! In this regard, you are an expert, and you can make a real price , if I can sell it, I will sell it!"

With a smile, he re-deferred the right to make an offer to Tie Zhongyi.Tie Zhongyi did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will make a classification and statistics first, and then we can negotiate prices according to the types of coins, how about it?"

"Okay! I have no objection!"

After finding a pen and paper, Tie Zhongyi began to pick up the coin with the largest number and said: "Wanli Tongbao Regular Script Xiaoping Beixing, the market price of this coin is around 20 yuan. Then I will count it as 20 yuan a piece, Brother Xu Agreed?"

"can!"

With Tie Zhongyi making statistics and bidding, as long as there is no difference with the psychological price, Xu Haibao will not argue too much.After all, the prices of these ancient coins are actually very transparent as long as you inquire a little bit.

After the coin was estimated, Xu Haibao said with a smile, "The price offered by the Tie shopkeeper is indeed fair! How about it! I still have a few ancient coins here, please ask Mr. Qin and the Tie shopkeeper to help estimate the price again!"

Xu Haibao, who was talking, took out a bag wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket, and spread it out on the table.Seeing this coin, Qin Mingyuan's eyes lit up immediately and said: "You boy, you are not kind! Keep the good things behind!"

"Mr. Qin, it's not a bad thing to have multiple minds when you're away from home. What's more, some things are worse than seeing. Since the Tie shopkeeper is so sincere, I can't be too stingy. I must sell him some good things!"

"Hearing what you said, I believe that you are a soldier brought out by Xiaoliu. That kid was very cunning in his early years!"

Tie Zhongyi wasn't angry about Xu Haibao's hidden skill, on the contrary he felt very happy.After all, from Xu Haibao's words, it is not difficult to hear that Xu Haibao has recognized Tie Zhongyi's character.

It is indeed a joy to be recognized by others!
Looking at the several coins that Xu Haibao kept alone, Qin Mingyuan picked up one of them and said, "Yes, it is indeed a good thing! It is really rare that Wanli Tongbao silver back two coins are still in such good condition!"

When Qin Mingyuan checked a few coins and found that they were all authentic, Tie Zhongyi also offered a very fair price.After some statistics, the total price of these coins is more than 98.

In the end, Tie Zhongyi also said very directly: "Brother Xu, why don't you make up the whole thing? I will buy these coins for 100 million. The extra will be counted as a deposit. If I plan to sell the rest next time, I will consider my store first. ,how?"

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient! Next time, if there is an opportunity, I will give priority to cooperating with Big Brother Tie!"

Xu Haibao didn't feel too excited when the coins he brought were sold for the first million in his life. Even if he was a little secretly happy, he still felt that the real treasure hadn't been sold yet.Compared with those heavy treasures, these are all small coins that come with it!
For Xu Haibao, the trip to the provincial capital to sell treasures is just a side trip.He really came here specially because he hoped to get acquainted with Tie Zhongyi.In this case, in the future, there are things that can be purchased and circulated on behalf of it.

After all, compared with things that can be auctioned, many things salvaged by sea fishing companies are sold through the cultural relics market.In the future, the sunken treasures that Xu Haibao will salvage will surely shock the world.

In this case, a safe sales channel is also very necessary.The fewer people who know, the less trouble there will be.Many people understand and recognize the principle of making a fortune in silence!
