Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 790
"Admiration, admiration!" Shi San'er said with a thumbs up.

"The water in this wenwan industry is really unfathomable." Zhuang Rui said with emotion. He originally thought that judging jade was already difficult, and the water in the jade industry was already deep enough, but seeing Huang Chong's operation, he It was discovered that the water in Wenwan's business was even deeper than jade!

"That's right!" Shi San'er nodded in agreement. He specializes in jade, and also plays with porcelain, but he doesn't know much about ancient coins.

"No, the few random ones you grabbed just now couldn't really be random." Zhuang Rui looked at Huang Chong and said.

"What do you think?" Huang Chongxiao asked.

"It's definitely not random. I think you picked out those ones before, but you didn't hold them in your hand. Judging by your performance, it seems that I guessed it right." Zhuang Rui said.

Huang Chong smiled, and picked out another copper coin with the words "Smooth weather" printed on it.

"It's fake!" Brother Ma took the copper coin and said after reading it.

It is not surprising that he would say this, because the round coin with a square hole in his hand has a very special style. It does not indicate when it was minted, nor does it have the emperor's year when the coin was minted. There are only four characters on one face—— - The weather is good, and there is nothing on the back. Obviously, this is not an ancient coin that can be circulated in the market.

"This is, this is..." Before Huang Chong could speak, Zhuang Rui frowned and said, as if he was remembering something, but he just couldn't remember it.

"Open." Huang Chong reminded one word.

"Yes, the opening money, yes, this is the opening money recorded in the books." Zhuang Rui said.

"What's the start-up money?" Ma Ge and Shi San'er said they were very confused and couldn't understand.

"The so-called open-stove money means that the money bureaus of the past dynasties have made a batch of commemorative coins before officially casting copper coins." Zhuang Rui said: "Usually, most of these coins are not common coins. , but coins full of allegorical patterns or congratulations, often with auspicious words or patterns, such as good weather."

Huang Chong nodded and said, "That's right. Generally speaking, the trial-manufactured furnaces are more regular and meticulous, and the materials are more carefully selected. Generally, the state allocates new copper for trial casting. Things are scarce, and now they are occasionally found, but never found in batches.”

"This coin should be a large sum of money for the opening of the furnace in the Ming Dynasty." Huang Chong took the coin, looked at it a few times, and said: "The mouth is small, the font is thick, large, and powerful, with typical characteristics of the Ming Dynasty."

"Then according to what you said, the current price of this copper coin should not be low." Ma Ge asked. Although he didn't know the specific market price, it is not difficult to judge from Huang Chong's words and tone that this copper coin is also quite expensive. precious.

"20." As soon as Brother Ma's voice fell, he heard someone behind him say: "Little brother, I will pay 20 for this opening money, so give it to me!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw an extremely energetic old man, holding a birdcage in his hand and wearing a long gown, which looked a bit retro.

"This, this thing, is it worth 20?" Ma Ge was stunned. He thought that this thing might be very valuable, at least tens of thousands, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated it. This small copper coin is worth 20. , this is a joke!

Gold is not that valuable.

"My little brother, I'm really sorry, I overheard your conversation, but I'm really interested in this opening money." The old man said, "I wonder if little brother can give up his love."

"This old gentleman, what's your name?" Huang Chong asked, he actually noticed the old man's approach.

"Oh, look at me, I was so anxious that I forgot." The old man slapped his forehead and said, "Li Shan, a local."

"Okay, Mr. Li's price is very fair, so let's give it to Mr. Li for 20 yuan." Huang Chong said, he has learned about the market of copper coins, and it is probably this price.

"Really 20?" Brother Ma was surprised.

"If you meet someone you like, don't say 20. You can sell it for millions. I still take advantage of this little brother." Li Shan said.

"The old man was joking. I don't do antique business, and I don't have contacts in this area. I can't make this kind of money." Huang Chong said with a smile.

Of course Huang Chong knew that if he met someone he really liked, he would definitely be able to sell it at a high price, but the problem was that Huang Chong didn't have such a client. If he likes to raise the price of each other, it is possible to sell at a high price. Otherwise, after deducting various handling fees, it may be less than 20. He doesn't have much interest in collecting coins, so he just sells.

"Then thank you little brother, I would like to invite a few of you to sit in the store, how about it?" Li Shan invited.

"it is good!"

The transaction of 20 yuan is naturally not just a casual talk, it still needs to sign a contract, first the villain and then the gentleman.

"Mr. Li still runs his own shop?" Shi San'er asked.

"It's not my shop, it's a friend of mine's. It's here." It's also a coincidence that following the direction Li Shan pointed at, it happened to be less than 20 meters away from the crowd. Li Shan had just left this place. shop, and then heard the conversation between the four of Huang Chong.

This is a shop that mainly deals in calligraphy and painting. There is no one else in the shop except the owner. The owner's name is Gao Shan. Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this name. One is called Alpine.

"Oh, this is Mo Tuo from the preface of Shenlong Benlan Pavilion." When Huang Chong and Li Shan signed the contract, Zhuang Rui started watching in the store and saw a calligraphy and painting that was placed in the lobby.

"Oh, it's true." Shi San'er said from the side. Although he didn't have much research on calligraphy and painting, after all, the Preface to the Lanting Collection is too famous. The small seal of the Year of the Dragon.

"It's just an imitation, just for decoration. Since you are all Lao Li's friends, just take a look. If you like something, you can get a [-]% discount." The shop owner said.

In fact, this is nonsense, a [-]% discount, the premise is that there is a price tag, there is no price tag, unless it is a free gift, otherwise it is useless, and antique shops, many items do not have a price tag.

But it's getting closer recently, and a few people are watching it.

At this time, two men suddenly walked in from the door. The two men worked together to lift a box, which seemed quite heavy.

"Boss, do you collect ink here?" One of the men said as soon as he entered.
