The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

There can be five or six in a car. With such a classic and weird means of transportation, everyone simply squeezed into a tricycle, which was still able to ride, and the "rumbling" arrived at the entrance of the tunnel.

The key to the excavator was lost to Kunkka, and today I plan to open all the remaining nine warehouses.

When the door of the sixth warehouse was opened, the area now was only about two-thirds the size of the former warehouses, and there were a lot of crates of ammunition.

"I don't know what it is."

Zhang Nan said casually, here Qiu Bo pried one open, inside were metal strips with blue-gray surfaces. This time, the guys all knew what these were: silver.

The long silver ingots have a slight arc, unlike the cast products of the industrial age, they have a taste of antiques.

The bodyguards of China have good eyes, and they can see the Chinese characters knocking on the silver bars: Jialong, Mingming, Jingyin Shiliang...

Ordinary Chinese people who see these things might think that these are old Chinese silver bars, but Guan Xingquan and others would not think so, because they have seen such silver bars in Vietnam before.

"These are old silver bars from Vietnam."

It was Guan Xingquan who spoke.

When Zhang Nan heard this, he said: "It seems that the little devil and the French Vichy government have come to an agreement to occupy Vietnam. I don't know this.

But these Annan silver bars... really useless! "

It's just useless.

Jialong, Mingming...These are the emperor's reigns of the Nguyen Dynasty, the last dynasty of Vietnam. Jialong is from 18o2 to 182o, and Mingming is from 182o to 1841.

As for who was the emperor of Vietnam at that time?

Who cares about that.

China used to call Vietnam Annan. This old silver bar from Vietnam has always been called Annan in China's antique circle. China’s old silver bars and silver ingots are valuable, but Annan’s silver bars are also worth a silver price, and they are not sought after at all.

Some people say that Annan silver bars are not popular because they have low silver content. In fact, most of the large number of Annan silver bars that Zhang Nan has seen have good silver content. The fact that the price cannot go up is not simply because of the silver content.

I personally feel that the biggest reason is that "foreign products are not sought after", and the number of Annan silver bars is too large.

In the new century, Annan silver bars are a large part of the coin collection of China's neighboring countries. Like North Korea, Xiaoguizi, and Ryukyu silver ingots, Annan coins are also influenced by the concept of "Broad and Square" in Chinese Han culture.

The embryonic form of Annan silver ingots is mainly the ship-shaped silver ingots of the Chinese Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Zhang Nan took out two silver ingots from the box, with a mark of twelve, which is about 38o grams now.

The standard Annan official silver bar, the silver ingot has pores, and there are golden and colorful jewels inside.

The thing itself should be snow-white. Because it was touched by people and oxidized by the air during use, and it was kept in this tunnel warehouse for decades, the silver bar had formed a layer of cyan-colored oxidized patina that felt refreshing.

"Seven black, eight gray, nine turn blue, and the color will be paid off at 95%. The quality of these silver ingots should be more than 95%."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Nan threw the silver ingot back into the box, completely devoid of the habit of caring for ancient currencies.

This makes Guan Xingquan and Xiang Weirong a little strange: Zhang Nan never treated "old silver" like this before, and even the most ordinary foreign silver dollars would not throw away like this.

Guan Xingquan said strangely: "It's 90% and it's useless?"

Zhang Nan smiled and said: "It's just a price of silver. It is better to deal with industrial silver ingots if you want to sell in large quantities. All of these have to be returned to the furnace, which is troublesome."

Well, these can be regarded as antiques no matter what, if all of them are sold as industrial silver, the bodyguards will feel a bit a pity, even Philip and Cuenca who understand the situation are a little hard to understand the boss's thoughts.

Zhang Nan looked at everyone's expressions and said, "Too many, too many!

This type of silver bars were cast in large quantities before the French arrived in Vietnam, and they were also made during the French colonial period. They were widely circulated in Vietnam and southwestern China during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and they are very large in the world.

At that time, high-quality silver bars had an inherent international currency function, but the fineness of silver ingots needed to be assessed and negotiated, and it was customary to put a stamp on the silver ingots traded on both sides.

Moreover, the firms and merchants in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China often marked the company name, reign name, and auspicious words with the silver coins they dealt with.

However, this habit is sometimes bad. For example, some silver dollars may be deformed after being punched too many times, which is called a bad version.

The intact silver dollar that has not been stamped is called Koyo, Guangban, or Mirror, which is still used today. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan flipped through several boxes at random and found the silver bar he needed, with the marks of "Gong Jia", "Xu Fu Ji", and "Replacement as a Fake" on it.

Zhang Nan said to the group: "This is a silver bar from the colonial period in Vietnam. Hsu Fu Chi is a trademark of the origin of the silver bar. This type of silver ingot with the name of a chamber of commerce or family was very popular in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

There is no need to check whether this Xu Fu Ji is in China or Vietnam. As long as this time period and this shape of silver bars are classified as Annan goods.

The engraving of the inscription was to ensure the quality of the silver ingots at that time, and to sign and draw to indicate that they were responsible for the silver ingots handled.

Gong Jia means that it is agreed to be grade A. The fineness of silver ingots agreed to be Gong A is over 97%. As for the fake replacement, everyone understands it. "

Throwing away the silver bars in his hand, he kicked the box on the side by the way: "It was replaced two years ago. If there were one or two boxes like this, then the three of us would be able to make a fortune, and we would be able to get a stick and a hammer. Now…"

Glancing at the warehouse, shook his head: "Too many, no time to cheat."

"How to cheat?"

There are more antiques, and Xiang Weirong also knows that there are traps everywhere.

"Old silver ingots and old silver bars are valuable in China, but this type of Annan silver bars are not included.

But there are not many people who know that there is something tricky here, thinking that the price of this thing is similar to the price of Huaxia Old Silver Ingot, but it is hidden at the price of Huaxia Old Silver Ingot, and it is directly lost to my grandma's house. "

This happened more than once in Zhang Nan's last life: the first time he became a club, and at that time he went to the village to dig out his old house. Fortunately, the other party was also a half-understandable guy, and he was charged twice the silver price, and he didn't lose much.

Going happily to Zhang Rongting, Zhang Rongting, his friend's in-laws, and wanting to make a fortune from his sales, Master Zhang can also make some intermediary fees.

As a result, Master Zhang told him that this thing was worth a silver price, but few people in the industry said this problem.

It was a loss, it was okay, and finally Zhang Nan sold it to the next club at twice the price.

There are always clubs, depending on whether you can find them.

The second time I remember that I encountered in my joint-stock gold dealer: a partner and a friend went to Yunnan Province to do business, but brought back more than 20 kilograms of old Annan silver bars.

There are one tael, five tael, and twelve tael. I originally thought that I could make a fortune, because it was made at a higher price than the price of silver, and I thought it was a big bargain.

When I came back, I bumped into walls everywhere. I finally made a few shots, and I was dragged by someone to return the goods: The buyer is not an insider, but it doesn't matter if you go wrong or lose your stomach.

At that time, the seven international silver prices must be the best of the best!

You must know that the Philippines is not a Buddhist country. On the surface, the people believe in the bishops, and there is nothing about Buddhism.

Transported here from the Indo-China Peninsula will not be ordinary goods: Zhang Nan can see it and guess it.

But there are too many large and small Buddha statues here, with at least hundreds of different shapes. The large ones weigh a few hundred kilograms, and the small ones weigh several tens of kilograms. They are all very unique in shape, and many are covered with gold leaf.

But this is too much, move home to enshrine?

There is an old Chinese saying: Never let the gods hold a meeting!

The Bodhisattva Duona in the temple shows that the temple has great strength, but if there are too many enshrines in the family, it is "the gods hold a meeting in your house", just ha ha...

Go and weigh it yourself!

Zhang Nan is not a Buddhist. UU reads www.uukanshu.com but maintains basic respect for the Buddha; and the Buddha statues here are not the statues of Mahayana Buddhism common in China, but the statues of Hinayana Buddhism, which seems to be also called Southern Buddhism. Theravada Buddhism.

Southern Buddhism is now prevalent in Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Huaxia is also found in some areas of Yunnan Province.

I don't know Zhang Nan very well, but he would never move so many Buddha statues to his home.

Sell?

Just kidding!

Please go home with a Buddha statue or a Taoist statue of Sanqing. This is very particular in the collection world.

Regardless of whether you are a believer or not, as long as you encounter statues of gods and bodhisattvas, those who play antiques will follow the rules.

Do a "big sale"?

Zhang Nan's nerves are not that big!

Lock the door, my brain hurts.

As soon as the eighth warehouse door opened, Zhang Nan said directly: "Little devil, you play with me!"

I haven't figured out how to deal with the trouble ahead, and the new problem is here again!

Facing the door, a two-meter-high sitting Buddha is facing him, with a shiny golden surface.

It is not pasted with gold leaf, this is the shining luster of the material of the Buddha itself: the color is not as golden as gold, but it also has a taste of copper.

But it is different from the ordinary bronze Buddha, it is much brighter!
