Chapter 410 The First Sword in the World (1)

"Wait a minute!"

Li Yang called out hastily, the middle-aged man turned his head in surprise, glanced at Li Yang, and continued walking forward with the box in his arms.

"Sir, please wait!"

Li Yang quickly followed, the middle-aged man stopped this time, looked at Li Yang suspiciously, and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

"Where do you get these things?"

Li Yang pointed to the ancient sword in the box. Taking this opportunity, he took a closer look at it for a while. The more he looked at Li Yang, the more surprised he was. He just glanced at it, but now he can see everything clearly. A well-behaved ancient sword.

"Why do you ask this? You don't buy it!"

The middle-aged man shook his head, and was about to move forward with the box in his arms, but Li Yang followed him again.

"Wait a minute, I didn't say I wouldn't buy it, there are good ones, it's not bad to pick two!"

"No, it's too late, these have all been ordered, and I'm going to send them over now!"

The middle-aged man didn't say anything to Li Yang this time, he just walked past him and walked towards the second floor.

Li Yang was stunned for a while, and hurriedly called Liu Gang, Wang Jiajia and Chen Lei to chase them together.

"Boss, are those ancient swords real? Are they worth much?"

On the way, Chen Lei didn't forget to ask Li Yang, he only looked at those swords, and couldn't see the others.

Li Yang paused for a while, shook his head slowly, and said softly: "If you say the value is not too high, the better ones should sell for ten or twenty thousand, almost two or three thousand, this is what I saw Those who don’t see it, don’t know it!”

"[-] to [-] is quite valuable!"

Chen Lei nodded slightly, but his face was a little disappointed. His current salary is only more than 5000 yuan a month, and [-] to [-] yuan is really not a small amount for him.However, compared with the antiques in his impression, the value is not high. The ones that appear on TV programs are often worth millions.

"For antiques, value is not the most important thing. These ancient swords are not of high value, but they are available in various periods, representing cultures of different periods. It is not easy to collect so many!"

Li Yang hesitated for a moment, but said something slowly, and continued to walk forward, the middle-aged man had already gone far away.

The middle-aged man went up to the second floor without stopping, and went directly to the third floor, Li Yang hurriedly followed.

In terms of the collection industry, ancient swords are still a partial category. The value of collectibles is also rising, but the increase is not high every year, and the most sought after swords are those with a history.

For example, if the sword that Zheng Kaida collected in Rongbaozhai was really an ancient sword used by Fang La, its value would definitely increase a lot. favorite.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this thing was also used by nobles in ancient times, and it was a high-quality product. Now collectors like to collect high-quality goods, not because they are eager to buy any old things.Many old ordinary porcelain bowls, porcelain cups and the like are not worth much, and some even cost a few hundred yuan each, because they have a large stock and are not high-quality goods.

The third floor of Zhengzhou Antique City is similar to the second floor. It is also composed of many antique shops, but there are more things here. Some shops are full and look a little messy, like a wholesale market.

In fact, Li Yang guessed correctly. Many small antique shops in the surrounding cities of Zhengzhou come here to buy goods. Of course, it is unknown how many of the goods they buy are really old things.

The middle-aged man stopped in front of a shop with various gold-plated Buddha statues, put the box on the ground, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

There are more ancient swords in the box than Li Yang imagined, a total of 35. Putting so many ancient swords together is not light, and it would be difficult for Li Yang to carry it so far.

Seeing him put down the box, Li Yang also followed, but he secretly cried out in his heart that it is a pity that he has too few collections now, and these ancient swords that can represent different periods usually take a lot of effort to collect , if it hadn't been ordered by someone, Li Yang really had the idea of ​​accepting all of them.

"Boss Yu, I brought the stuff, come and take a look!"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he sat on the chair next to him, fanned himself with his clothes, and stopped talking after he finished speaking to the shop owner.

"Okay, drink some water and rest, let me take a look!"

The shop owner came out immediately, and handed over a bottle of mineral water. The middle-aged man didn't refuse, and drank most of the bottle in one gulp.

The ancient swords were taken out one by one by the owner of this store. The owner of the ancient sword shop with scabbards was very careful. Only the ancient swords that can be preserved intact with the scabbards are really valuable. It is a pity that this There are not many ancient swords like a wooden box.

Many of them are even rusty, and only the appearance of the sword can be seen.But there is one that is even more outrageous. Except for the faint resemblance of the sword handle, the whole fitness is like an iron rod. Even Li Yang can't tell what period this ancient sword is from.

No matter how old things are, they will not be worth much if they look like this. The appearance is also a very important factor in antiques.

"Zhongzheng Sword!"

Li Yang's eyes lit up slightly, and the shop owner took out a relatively well-preserved ancient sword, and the four words "gifted by Jiang Zhongzheng" were engraved on the hilt of this sword.

The shop owner also seemed to appreciate the sword, and even took the sword out of the scabbard to have a look.

The Zhongzheng Sword is a saber specially made by Chiang Kai-shek in order to inspire the students of the Whampoa Military Academy during the Republic of China. The words "Success and Chengren" are engraved on the sword.

During the Northern Expedition, some soldiers used this sword to commit suicide because they lost their positions or for other reasons. There are many such examples, so Zhongzheng Sword is also called "Chengren Sword".

Not only did Chiang Kai-shek not have any objection to this point, but he admired it very much, and ordered a large number of Zhongzheng swords. Later, almost every student in Huangpu had one. Before and after, Chiang Kai-shek handed out at least tens of thousands of Zhongzheng swords. Bundle.

But today, there are not many of these Zhongzheng swords handed down in the world, only a few are handed down among the people, and many of them have entered the museum.

The sword is iron after all, and it is easy to be damaged if it is not well kept. Just like so many ancient swords in front of us, almost none of them are in good condition. Even this Zhongzheng sword has traces of repairs. There used to be rust spots that were just removed with chemicals.

"35, the same as the one I saw last time, a total of 15, how about it?"

After the store owner finished ordering one by one, he walked up to the middle-aged man and said with a smile. Wan, didn't you say it was 15 last time?"

"The last time was the last time, and now is now. The market is in a downturn. The financial crisis has never passed. Collectors are in short supply. They are no longer buying as crazy as before, and they even sell some of their collections. To deal with the crisis, the price will naturally drop under such circumstances!"

The store owner shook his head with a smile, and didn't care about the middle-aged man's anger. Li Yang was also stunned for a moment, and couldn't help shaking his head. A profiteer is a profiteer. The economic crisis has a little impact on the collection market, but he definitely didn't say that. so big.

"Even if there is an economic crisis, it can't be so much less than [-] all of a sudden, right?"

The middle-aged man was also stunned for a moment, and immediately made another distinction, and then continued: "Besides, you can't give that much, why didn't you explain it clearly to me on the phone, and let me go?"

"What's the difference between talking on the phone and talking here? There are only a few of your things that are really easy to sell. I don't know how long the rest will be suppressed. I will give you a lot of 15. Go to other places. You may not be able to sell it for a hundred thousand in the store!"

The shop owner shook his head indifferently, and the middle-aged man also shook his head: "No, 15 is absolutely not, and the minimum is 25. If you don't want it, I will take it away!"

"That's up to you!"

The shop owner sighed regretfully, but he didn't intend to stop the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man went to collect those ancient swords. He had just collected a few, and put them down helplessly.

"Boss Yu, you have to be honest when doing business. The original 25 yuan will change here. What do you mean by that?"

"I said 25 yuan, but when did that happen? It was more than half a year ago. At that time, if you sold it, I would give you 25 yuan without blinking. But now it is different. Antiques are not fixed. The price is very high today and may be very low tomorrow, these ancient swords of yours belong to the partial category, and if I accept 15 now, it will still be very risky!"

The shop owner just shook his head, he didn't say that, the ancient sword belongs to the partial category, and if he can't make gestures in the short term, it will definitely take up his liquidity. This is something that any antique shop owner doesn't like to encounter.

However, the value of these ancient swords is definitely more than 15, and in Li Yang's opinion, it is more than 25, but if you want to sell them quickly, unless you meet a collector you like, it is really not easy.

"How about this, Boss Yu, I won't insist on the original price anymore. If you buy it for 20 yuan, I'll stay with you!"

The middle-aged man frowned, and finally heaved a sigh. Didn't he show these ancient swords to an antique shop? It was indeed Boss Yu who offered the highest price, but later he wanted to sell more money, so he kept them. In the hand has not shot.

As a result, the more he asked the others, the lower the price he gave, so he gave up and wanted to send the things here, but he didn't expect that it was also a drop of [-], which made him a little unbearable.

"Sorry, I really can't do anything, why don't you go ask and see if anyone here is willing to pay you 20 yuan, you can leave it to them!"

The shop owner shook his head again. He knew the market of Zhengzhou antique shop very well. It is not uncommon for him to spend 20 yuan to collect these things from him, but he would never do that. Occupy so much money.

"18 million, 18 million head office, right?"

The middle-aged man frowned tightly, and the shop owner sighed. He didn't speak this time, and the middle-aged man already understood what he meant.

The middle-aged man raised his head in frustration. He knew that even if he asked, no one would be able to give him such a price. The hearts of these antique shop owners are actually very dark, and he also wanted to sell it to other collectors. After letting a few people see it, no one wants to finish it all at once, and only pick a few good ones.

In this way, he will definitely not agree. If all the good ones are sold, it will be more difficult to sell the bad ones. In his hands, the only way to go is to let the worse and worse.

Raising his head, the middle-aged man happened to see Li Yang who was following him, and there was a glimmer of hope in his heart again.

When Li Yang asked him just now, he didn't care about it. First, he had indeed contacted and sent these things. Second, Li Yang was too young. Young people always give people a feeling of distrust. This is not one or two hundred. The transaction is not a transaction of one or two thousand, but a transaction of one or two million.

"Little brother, didn't you just say that you want these things from me?"

The middle-aged man immediately asked a question, Li Yang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"25, you have to take it all!"

The middle-aged man immediately said another word. Before Li Yang could say anything, Chen Lei had already called out: "You treat my boss as a winner? Just now you were willing to sell 18, and now it's 25 to my boss?"

Chen Lei is tall, with dark skin, and looks a bit fierce. The middle-aged man shrank back a little, and then shook his head: "Didn't I have nothing to do just now? In this way, little brother, what do you think?" All you want is 20, and I will give you all 20!"

"Sir, 18 yuan. According to the price you just said, if you sell it, I will take it all. If you don't sell it, then please go ahead!"

Li Yang shook his head with a smile. He really wanted to buy this batch of ancient swords and take them back for collection, but it doesn’t mean that he is a person who can be bullied at will. People don’t want your things for 18 yuan. If you want to sell it for 20, isn't that obviously a bully?

The middle-aged man showed a little hesitation, and then looked at the shop owner. The shop owner was looking at Li Yang curiously, and didn't care about him.

"Okay, 18, but I want cash, and I want it now!"

After hesitating for a while, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and nodded. He knew that if he didn't sell it this time, it would not be easy to sell it at this price next time.

"Cash, no problem!"

Li Yang turned back and smiled, Liu Gang immediately took off the bag on his body, because he was going to come to the Antique City today, Li Yang really prepared some cash, not much, only 30, but it was more than enough to buy these ancient swords .

Eighteen stacks of one-hundred-yuan bills were quickly handed over to the middle-aged man. When he saw the money, the middle-aged man knew that this seemingly inconspicuous young man in front of him was really a benefactor.

The middle-aged man counted the money quickly, and finally grinned, 18, not a penny less.

The shop owner also shook his head. The middle-aged man's hand means that the deal has been completed. He didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so decisive, and he still had so much cash on him. Take it out.

At this moment, the shop owner also regretted a little. These ancient swords could be sold for 25 or even 35 yuan if they met a real buyer, let alone 40 yuan, but if they didn't meet them, they would all be in their hands.
