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

In the past, he rarely came here to hang out. Firstly, he had no research on antiques, and secondly, he was not very interested. Another very important reason was that he had no money in his pocket. He also had a natural and harmless delusion of being persecuted. He always felt that

Those traders would kill him like a fat sheep.

Because the reward for the novice mission is a 1907 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin, if you want to cash it out quickly, you can only bite the bullet and try your luck here.

After wandering around the crowded streets for a while, I turned around and walked into a shop that specialized in trading ancient coins.

It can be seen that the boss has abundant funds, the interior is decorated in an antique style, and various shapes of lighting make the exhibition hall brilliant.

Foreign dollars, copper coins, silver ingots, food stamps... and other ancient coins with historical and cultural value are neatly stacked in the glass counter, with relevant notes and prices next to them. Several column-shaped display cabinets in the middle contain knife coins.

, cloth coins and other currencies that circulated during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were in complete condition and with clear engravings. He didn't know whether they were genuine or models.

After taking a look at the collectors wandering in the hall, Lin Yue walked straight to a clerk who was in his twenties or eighties: "Do you accept ancient foreign coins here?"

"Take it, of course." The woman looked at him and said, "I wonder which country's ancient coins you are selling?"

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

There was a wry smile on the corner of the clerk's mouth, thinking that this person was too careful, as if he was a thief.

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

"It's a gold coin."

The clerk was surprised because he didn't expect that he actually had something in his pocket.

"Wait a moment." This time it was her turn to be cautious, asking Lin Yue to sit down first, then turned and walked into the room behind the counter.

After a while, a man in his fifties came out and walked straight to Lin Yue.

"I'm the appraiser in the store, can I take a look at your stuff?"

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

The appraiser looked over and over for a long time. After weighing, he took a magnifying glass to examine the details of the coin in detail. When he finished, he said solemnly: "Yes, this is a Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin."

"If you charge it, how much can you pay?"

The appraiser thought for a moment and said, "Thirty thousand."

"Dollar?"

The other party glanced at him: "RMB."

What? It’s too cheating. Judging from the auction records he found, this thing is worth at least 7,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 40,000 RMB. Now the other party’s offer is 30,000, and no African is fooled by you.

"It's too little. The lowest auction price recorded online is more than 7,000 US dollars."

The appraiser said: "It's quite a lot. You also know that is the transaction price at the auction, which does not exclude commissions and taxes, plus the cost of time and energy. How much higher can the final profit be than 30,000 yuan? Not to mention this kind of price.

Foreign currency is not well recognized in China, the audience is limited, and many ancient coin dealers do not accept it.”

Lin Yue thought carefully for a moment and thought that what the appraiser said made sense, but it was far from the psychological bottom line of 40,000 yuan. He would not be willing 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 quote of more than 30,000 yuan." The appraiser said slowly, looking very confident.

There is one family of profiteers in the world. Who knows if the remaining ancient coin trading shops on Sanyang Road have the same owner as this shop, or if the people talking are relatives and friends? He is not that stupid. If you want to ask, you have to go to other antique markets to ask.

Just fine.

"Oh, thirty thousand..."

Lin Yue was hesitant to go to the antique market in the next district. An old man with gray hair and tortoiseshell glasses who had just walked past glanced over, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Grandpa!" A little girl of sixteen or seventeen behind him shook his arm, her tone of voice could not hide her annoyance, as if she thought she was being nosy.

Lin Yue rolled his eyes: "Old man, do you know this ancient coin?"

He didn't ask what the other person's advice was, and chose an irrelevant-sounding question.

The old man ignored the little girl's expression, picked up the gold coin placed on the counter and said: "The 1907 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin, with a face value of US$20, is between circulated and uncirculated. It is a rare currency.

Sold for $2 million at auction in North America."

"Of course, the condition of this Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin is not perfect, but according to the grading standards of NGC and PCGS, it is almost sixty-four and five points." The old man said quite straightforwardly: "It is worth thirty thousand US dollars.

You give someone 30,000 yuan for something, tsk tsk... you're robbing money."

"Thirty thousand dollars? Are you buying it?" The appraiser didn't expect to encounter such a thing. It doesn't matter if a stupid young man in his twenties said something irresponsible. The key is that the person who is aggrieved is an old man buried up to his neck.

Son, have you been living on a dog for decades? Isn’t this blocking people’s way of making money?

"Don't tell me, if the price is right, I really want to buy one for my granddaughter's dowry."

The old man's words made the appraiser speechless, and the little girl behind also made a big blush.

"Old man, do you really want to buy it?"

"How can I still joke with you at my age?"

"Then I might as well transfer it to you."

"Young man, think about it carefully. From the perspective of value preservation and collection, this is a first-class good thing."

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

"I'm in trouble. Please give me a price."

"In this way, I can take advantage of you, how about two hundred thousand?"

"Okay, just two hundred thousand." Lin Yue knew that the old man was talking about exchange rates.

"Hmph." The appraiser over there snorted and left the scene.

The old man didn't even look at him, and returned the double eagle gold coin to Lin Yue: "There is a China Construction Bank not far ahead. How about we trade there?"

"OK."

Lin Yue led Badun out of the shop and followed an old man and a young man. "What do you call me?"

"Xiang Huai."

Xiang Huai?

He felt it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard the name before.

…

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

The pedestrians around him, the vehicles in the distance, the white clouds on the horizon, the towering buildings, and General Badun behind him, everything looked like love to him now.

A bicycle turned into a motorcycle, an Alto turned into an Audi, a part-time QM turned into a young club model, I got lucky today.

Two hundred thousand, a full two hundred thousand!

After twenty-three years of eating rice, he had only seen so much money in the hands of others. Now, Mr. Lin can finally buy a toilet in Jianghai City, where land is at a premium.

"Huh!"

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

"System Panel."

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