Roaming In The World Of Film And Television

Chapter 6: Bicycles to Motorcycles

Lin Yue took the epidemic prevention certificate and walked out of the pet hospital gate, stopped a taxi on the side of the road and rushed to the antique market on Sanyang Road.

In the past, he seldom came here to hang out. For one thing, he didn’t study antiques, and secondly he didn’t have much interest. Another very important reason was that he didn’t have money in his pocket. He also had a natural and pollution-free persecution paranoia. He always felt that Those vendors would kill him as a fat sheep.

Because the reward for the novice mission is a 1907 Saint-Gaudens double eagle gold coin, if you want to realize it quickly, you can only bite the bullet and come here to try your luck.

After strolling in the crowded streets for a while, he turned his face and walked into a shop that specializes in trading ancient coins.

It can be seen that the boss has strong funds, the antique decoration inside, and the various shapes of lighting make the exhibition hall a brilliant.

Yangyuan, copper coins, silver ingots, food stamps, etc., ancient coins with historical and cultural value are neatly stacked in a glass counter, with relevant notes and prices beside them. In the middle column-shaped display cases, there are knives coins, cloth coins and other currencies that were in circulation during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. The appearance is complete and the lettering is clear. As for the authenticity or the model, he doesn’t know.

Looking at the collectors wandering in the hall, Lin Yue walked straight to a 27-year-old clerk: “Do you accept foreign ancient coins?”

“Come, of course.” The woman looked at him and said, “I don’t know which country’s ancient coins are the old coins that Mr. is selling?”

Lin Yue looked around carefully, and took out a plastic box wrapped with black tape from his trouser pocket.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of the clerk’s mouth, thinking that this person was also careful, as if he were a thief.

At this time, Lin Yue pulled off the tape, opened the plastic box, and put the contents on the counter.

“It’s gold coins.”

The clerk was surprised at the snack, but he didn’t expect it to be really stocked in his pocket.

“Wait a minute.” This time it was her turn to be cautious, and asked Lin Yue to sit first, then turned and walked into the room behind the counter.

After a while, a fifty-something man came out from inside and walked straight to Lin Yue.

“I’m an appraiser in the shop, can I see your stuff?”

Lin Yue nodded and pushed the box containing the gold coins over.

The appraiser looked at it over and over for a long time. After the weighing, he took a magnifying glass to check the details of the coin in detail, and said with a solemn expression: “Yes, this is a Saint-Gaudens double eagle gold coin.”

“How much can you pay if you accept it?”

The appraiser thought for a while and said, “Thirty thousand.”

“Dollar?”

The other side gave him a sideways glance: “Renminbi.”

Well? It’s too bad. According to the auction records he found, this thing is worth at least 7,000 US dollars, which is more than 40,000 yuan. Now the other party offers 30,000 yuan, and the Africans are not as black as you.

“Too little, the lowest auction price recorded on the Internet is still more than seven thousand dollars.”

The appraiser said: “It’s a lot. You also know that it is the auction price. Commissions and taxes are not excluded, plus the time and energy cost. How much higher the final profit can be than 30,000 yuan? Not to mention this. The recognition of foreign currencies in the country is not high, the audience is limited, and many ancient currency dealers do not accept them.”

Lin Yue thought about it for a moment, and believed that what the appraiser said was reasonable, but it was a bit far from the 40,000 yuan psychological bottom line. It would be unwilling to sell it hastily.

“If you are not satisfied, you can ask other ancient coin dealers. I don’t think anyone will give you a quotation of more than 30,000 yuan.” The appraiser said Xu Xu, with a very confident look.

The world profiteers is a family. Who knows if the remaining ancient coin trading shop on Sanyang Road is the same owner, or if the person concerned is related to relatives and friends, he is not that stupid. If you want to ask, you have to go to other antique markets to ask.

“Heh, thirty thousand…”

Lin Yue hesitated to go to the antique market next door. An old man with white sideburns and tortoiseshell glasses who just walked past glanced over here, with an ironic smile on his face.

“Grandpa!” A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl behind shook his arm, her tone hard to hide her anger, as if she thought he was nosy.

Lin Yue’s eyes rolled: “Old man, do you know this ancient coin?”

He didn’t ask the other person what his opinion was, and chose a question that sounded irrelevant.

Ignoring the little girl’s face, the old man picked up the gold coin placed on the counter and said: “The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Gold Coin of 1907, with a face value of 20 dollars, is between the circulating and uncirculated. It is a rare currency. A high price of US$2 million was sold at auctions in North America.”

“Of course, the appearance of this Saint-Gaudens double eagle gold coin is not perfect, but based on the NGC and PCGS scoring standards, it can almost get 64-five points.” The old man said straightforwardly: “It is worth thirty thousand dollars. You give people 30,000 yuan for things. Tsk tsk… grab the money.”

“Thirty thousand dollars? You buy it?” The appraiser didn’t expect to encounter this kind of thing. The 20-year-old Lengtouqing said nothing to be irresponsible. The key person to fight the injustice is an old man with loess buried in his neck. Son, have been living dogs for decades? Isn’t this blocking people’s way of making money?

“Don’t say, if the price is right, I really want to start a dowry for my granddaughter.”

The old man made the appraiser speechless with a word, and the little girl behind also made a big blush.

“Old man, do you really want to buy?”

“My old bones can still joke with you?”

“Then I will just transfer it to you.”

“Young man, you can think about it. From the perspective of preservation and collection, this is a good thing first-class.”

For those with overseas connections, this kind of gold coin is easy to realize and has a much higher circulation than the ancient coins of the Chinese civilization.

“Isn’t something wrong with me, you can make a price.”

“In this way, I take you a small advantage, how about two hundred thousand?”

“Okay, only 200,000.” Lin Yue knew that the old man was talking about exchange rates.

“Humph.” The appraiser over there left the scene with a cold snort.

Without even looking at him, the old man returned the double eagle gold coin to Lin Yue: “There is a construction bank not far in front. How about we trade there?”

“OK.”

Lin Yue led Batton out of the shop, and followed the old and the young. “What do you always call?”

“Xiang Huai.”

Xiang Huai?

He felt familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he heard the name.

…

After a while, Lin Yue walked out of the antique market with a bank card deposit of 200,000 RMB.

The pedestrians around him, the vehicles in the distance, the white clouds in the sky, the towering buildings, and the General Baton behind him, he saw everything like love now.

Bicycles changed to motorcycles, Alto changed to Audi, and part-time QM changed club young models. Today, it was a hit.

Two hundred thousand, a full two hundred thousand!

After eating for 23 years, he has only seen so much money in the hands of others. Now, Mr. Lin can finally buy a toilet in the golden city of Jianghai.

“what!”

Lin Yue stopped and looked at the sign hanging on the second floor of the building on the left hand side-Shangwu Boxing Gym.

“System Panel.”

Calling the system panel in his mind, he looked at the attribute data and fell into deep thought.

Name: Lin Yue.

Race: human.

Attribute: Physique 5.

Strength 10.

Agility 6.

Intelligence 7.

Spirit 4.

What is the approximate level of 10 strength?

He asked himself in his heart, and led Baton to the second floor.
