Chapter 84 What?! Border Region Tickets!!!
"So, how much are you willing to pay for this whole set?"
Upon hearing this, Xin Quan's face immediately showed a bitter smile, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Big brother! You think too highly of me! Even if I sold my entire fortune, including the company, I still couldn't scrape together a fraction of what I could afford to buy this treasure!"
"This is something that's beyond our level to handle."
"Can't afford it?" Shen Wang was taken aback, somewhat puzzled. "Then why did you rush over here in such a hurry?"
Xin Quan quickly explained, his eyes gleaming with eagerness, "Big brother, I can't afford it, but I can help you arrange it!"
"If you trust me, I can use all my connections and reputation to guarantee that I can contact top auction houses in China to plan a special auction of 'Late Qing Dynasty Treasures' just for you!"
"With your box of antiques as the main attraction, this set of imperial green jadeite is the grand finale, the crowning jewel!"
"I'm confident this jade set will absolutely break records and shock the entire jewelry industry!"
Shen Wang understood.
Auctions are indeed a way to maximize profits.
He thought for a moment and said, "I can let you handle it."
"If all transactions are completed, I will give you 5% of the total transaction amount as commission."
"Five points?" Xin Quan was so surprised he almost jumped up!
Auctions at this level typically offer commissions of 2%-3% to intermediaries or partners, so 5% is incredibly generous!
This means that if the total transaction volume reaches hundreds of millions, his commission will reach a staggering tens of millions!
This deal even earned him more than he had in the past few years!
"Brother, don't worry, I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly! I'll definitely get you an astronomical price!"
Shen Wang nodded, then said, "Don't get too excited yet, I have a request."
Xin Quan quickly asked, "Brother, please tell me what you want. I will definitely fulfill your request!"
He also knew that the 5% commission wouldn't be easy to get!
Shen Wang slowly spoke, "My requirement is simple: it has to be fast!"
"I don't care what methods you use, I want to see the money as quickly as possible!"
It wasn't that Shen Wang was in a hurry; he wouldn't mind waiting a month or two.
But he could wait, while the Eighth Route Army couldn't!
In just over a month here, it will be 1942 over there!
Therefore, he needed to get money as soon as possible to buy some food and the like.
On the other side, Xin Quan gritted his teeth: "Alright! I'll try my best to help you complete this auction within half a month!"
Auctions of this caliber typically require at least a month of preparation beforehand.
Xin Quan promised half a month, which is already very fast.
However, Shen Wang was not entirely satisfied.
I'll give you a week.
This completely stumped Xin Quan.
"Brother, a week is too short! It needs to be at least... at least ten days! Any shorter and I really can't do it!"
Shen Wang shook his head: "Just one week. If you can't do it, I'll find someone else."
Upon hearing this, Xin Quan quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, I can do it. It won't take ten days, just a week!"
Shen Wang nodded in satisfaction.
Are you kidding me? Those 5 points weren't given away for free?
Next, Xin Quan and his assistant took photos and made a register.
Something worth hundreds of millions, we definitely can't let him take it.
By the time I finished, it was almost dark.
"Brother, I'll be going now. I promise I'll get it done perfectly within a week!"
At this moment, Xin Quan's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.
If we can help my brother get this deal done, he'll be set for life!
However, Shen Wang said, "Wait a minute, can you take another look at this and see if it's worth anything?"
Shen Wang took out a stack of border region currency from another box next to him.
This currency has naturally also withstood the test of time.
But unlike ordinary paper, it doesn't become worn out; instead, it looks almost brand new, as if it were perfectly preserved.
After all, the paper used to print money is definitely different from ordinary paper. If it is preserved properly, it can look almost new even after decades.
Therefore, although this stack of border region currency bears the marks of time, it is almost as good as when it was first printed.
Shen Wang placed the border region currency on the coffee table. When he looked up at Xin Quan, he found that the other person seemed to be frozen in place by Sun Wukong.
Not only Xin Quan, but his assistant next to him also gasped in shock, and the notebook in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".
Their eyes were fixed on the stack of banknotes.
"Border...border area tickets?"
Xin Quan's brain screamed wildly, almost bursting through his skull!
"These are border region notes! Red currency from that era! How could... how could they be here? And a whole bill at that?"
"And the condition... Are you kidding me?! That's something from eighty years ago! This... this is simply unbelievable!"
Xin Quan suddenly looked up at Shen Wang, who had a calm expression, her eyes filled with horror!
Who exactly is this guy?
Who exactly were our ancestors?
They could produce imperial artifacts from the Qianlong Emperor and priceless jade, but now... now they just casually pull out things like trash?
Seeing the two of them looking dumbfounded, Shen Wang realized that the currency in this area was indeed valuable.
"Hey, snap out of it! Is this thing even worth anything?"
Xin Quan snapped out of his daze and swallowed hard. "Is it valuable? Brother! This is a border region ticket! Its value can't be measured simply in money!"
"Even if it's expensive, it still has a price," Shen Wang said calmly.
"That's right! Big brother is right!" Xin Quan nodded repeatedly.
He then added, "The specific value of this coin depends on its face value, condition, and the year it was issued..."
As she spoke, Xin Quan put on white gloves again and picked up the stack of banknotes with extreme gentleness.
"Look at this denomination, one yuan... uh... thank goodness it's only one yuan..."
He muttered to himself, as if comforting himself, or perhaps confirming something.
The one-yuan denomination is not the rarest among the border region banknotes.
However, when his gaze fell on the date on the ticket—
Holy crap!!!
"The 30th year of the Republic of China?"
Xin Quan's voice instantly rose eight octaves.
"Quick! Quickly find out what year the 30th year of the Republic of China is!"
The assistant quickly picked up his phone to check.
For the two of them, knowing which year the 30th year of the Republic of China was was actually quite simple.
Xin Quan simply couldn't believe it.
Soon, the assistant replied, "Brother Quan, the 30th year of the Republic of China...that's 1941!"
"1941..."
With a bang, Xin Quan's brain almost stopped thinking.
The reason he couldn't believe it was because... the border region stamps were officially issued in 1941!
There were similar instances before, but they were in the form of stamps.
The issuance of banknotes began in 1941!
Because a lot of big things happened that year!
But now is not the time to think about that.
The problem now is, could this stack of border region stamps be the first edition?
Immediately afterwards, as if she had thought of something, Xin Quan carefully and quickly flipped through the edges of the stack of banknotes.
「……001…002…003……老天爷!连号!竟然是连号的!从001到100,一张不少!」
Xin Quan was completely dumbfounded!
The first batch of border region tickets, a whole stack of consecutive numbers?
Brother, who were your ancestors...?
