Chapter 9 Guangxu Yuanbao
Guangxu silver dollar, also known as Guangxu ingot.
These more than a dozen pieces are all Guangxu Yuanbao. There are four traditional Chinese characters "Guangxu Yuanbao" in the center of the silver dollar, and there are characters such as "Kuping Qiqian and Two Fen" and "Made in Beiyang" around them.
After basically confirming that these dozen silver dollars were Guangxu ingots, Liu Yong checked them on his mobile phone, focusing on checking the price.
What!
So valuable!
Gradually, his mouth opened slightly, and Liu Yong was really scared a little. Compared to these Yuan Datou, Guangxu Yuanbao was much more valuable.
Although the prices online are for reference only, the price of each coin is 300,000 yuan or 400,000 yuan, haha, I really got rich this time.
Put down your phone and sort out the silver dollars. More than a dozen Guangxu ingots were specially wrapped separately. The other silver dollars were divided into two parts. 100 of them were wrapped in old newspapers and then packed in plastic bags. The remaining more than 200 silver dollars were temporarily placed in the cabinet.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
All night, Liu Yong was so excited that he couldn't sleep a little. He had no choice but to be poor all the time. Suddenly, he had so much money all at once, and it was almost the same for anyone.
It was not until the second half of the night that I fell asleep in a daze.
After getting up in the morning, Liu Yong finished washing up, put more than a dozen Guangxu ingots and 100 Yuan Datou in his backpack, and walked out with the bag on his backpack.
I had breakfast at the Fatty Liu breakfast shop downstairs, and did not take the bus as usual, but stopped a taxi on the side of the road.
"Master, go to Bayi Street."
The driving master glanced at him slightly and didn't ask anything. Bayi Street is quite famous in Huahai City, and even has a certain reputation throughout the country. It is an antique street.
There are only a few hundred meters of Bayi Street, with shops on both sides, all of which are all kinds of antique shops, calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, bronzes, lacquerware, ancient coins, etc. Of course, I don’t know how many authentic ones there are, and I guess it is fakes that account for the majority.
In addition to various antique shops, there are also many people setting up stalls on both sides of the street, with many street stalls and various things sold.
Liu Yong came here with his bag on his back.
Those street stalls ignored them directly and targeted them to be more formal antique shops. Soon, Liu Yong walked into one of the larger shops.
After taking a look, I had a basic idea.
This shop has a large number of ancient coins, which can be seen clearly through tempered glass. Not only ancient coins, but also various modern silver coins and copper coins.
Yuan Datou also put a lot of tiles, but there were only a few Guangxu ingots.
“Tsk tsk…”
Liu Yong was secretly surprised that a Yuan Datou from the third year of the Republic of China was priced at 1,580 yuan here, and a Yuan Datou from the eighth year of the Republic of China was priced at 2,280 yuan.
Those Guangxu ingots also have price tags, ranging from more than 500,000 to more than one million yuan depending on the quality and release date.
Seeing Liu Yong looking at these silver dollars for a long time, the guy in the store came over enthusiastically, "Brother, who you like, we are clearly marked with the price here, and we are guaranteed to be genuine."
Liu Yong said: "I won't come to buy silver dollars. I have some goods on my hands. I wonder if you will collect them."
"oh."
The guy was obviously interested. Stores like them not only sell various antiques to the outside world, but also buy antiques.
"Brother, can you show me your stuff?"
Liu Yong nodded gently, unzipped the backpack, took out a few Yuan Datou from it, and placed it on the counter.
This guy picked up the silver dollar and just looked at it. He could basically be sure that it was genuine, not modern and old. He still had this kind of vision.
"Brother, how much do you plan to sell one?"
Liu Yong asked back: "What is your purchase price? If the price is right, I still have a lot."
There are many more!
The guy was even more excited. He originally wanted to offer 500 yuan per piece, but after thinking about it, "These are all Yuan Datou in the third year of the Republic of China, and our purchase price is 550 yuan."
Liu Yong smiled, not getting angry about the offer, but said, "Call your boss, I'm a big business."
The guy quickly called the owner of the store. He was a thin middle-aged man wearing a casual clothes and a pair of handmade cloth shoes on his feet.
"Sir, I am Jin Chuanlin, the owner of this store. Your surname is."
Liu Yong said: "Hello, Boss Jin, I don't have the surname Liu. I have a batch of Yuan Datou on my hand, and there are more than a dozen Guangxu ingots to come up with."
Jin Chuanlin's eyes lit up and he felt secretly happy.
I haven't encountered such a business for a long time, and some people come to sell silver dollars, usually three, five, or more than ten. As for Guangxu Yuanbao, their store has not received it for two or three months. This thing is too small and it is difficult to encounter.
"Mr. Liu, it's quiet inside. Let's talk about it."
Under the leadership of Jin Chuanlin, Liu Yong arrived at the inner room. This was a reception room, decorated in an ancient style, especially a large rectangular table that attracted people's attention. It should be made of a whole piece of mahogany.
"Please sit and have tea."
Liu Yong sat down, but did not drink tea. Instead, he opened his backpack and took out all 100 silver dollars and more than a dozen Guangxu ingots.
so much!
Jin Chuanlin seemed a little excited in his heart. This was a rare big business. He was not polite and began to look serious.
I first looked at a few Yuan Datou, nodded slightly, and then began to look at more than a dozen Guangxu ingots seriously, one by one, very seriously.
After reading it for several minutes, I put down the Guangxu ingot in my hand. Jin Chuanlin said: "There are 15 Guangxu ingots in total, all of which are one or two silver dollars made in 8 years. The quality is quite consistent. I can pay 350,000 yuan each. These Yuan Datou are made in three years and five years. There are even a few that are made in eight years. I will bid 620 yuan each. How about it?"
Of course, we have to bargain.
Liu Yong smiled and said, "Boss Jin, you are worthy of being a businessman. This price is too low. I saw Yuan Datou and Guangxu Yuanbao you placed for sale outside, which is much higher than this one."
Jin Chuanlin quickly explained: "That's just a price tag. Customers usually bargain, and we can't sell the price tag at all."
There was a bargaining between the two.
Finally, Liu Yong said, "Boss Jin, Yuan Datou is 680 yuan per piece, and Guangxu Yuanbao is 400,000 yuan per piece. If this business is completed, we will have the opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future. I still have a lot of Yuan Datou and Guangxu Yuanbao."
Really?
Jin Chuanlin was a little moved. In addition to selling various antiques, their acquisition channels are also very important.
If there are stable acquisition channels and can continuously acquire various silver dollars, it is of course the best. If there is enough goods, it can even affect the silver dollars market on Bayi Street.
After pondering for a moment, Jin Chuanlin finally nodded and agreed to the price.
Chapter completed!
