Han Peacock only had 200 yuan on him now. He took out all of it and handed it to Fat Liu. Fat Liu gave Han Peacock eighty yuan. Han Peacock took fifteen copper coins in his hand, and the transaction was completed.
"Isn't this really a leak?" After completing the transaction, Fat Liu was still a little unwilling and couldn't help but ask again.
"It's really not a leak," Han Kongque paused, and when Fat Liu just breathed a sigh of relief, he continued, "Even if it is a leak, it's just a small leak."
"Ah, it's still leaking? How is it possible? These are ordinary Five Emperors coins, how could it be leaking? Can you still sell it for ten times the price?"
Fat Liu suddenly twitched with rotten flesh all over his body. He regretted very much that he should have sold these copper coins to Han Peacock for a small advantage, but he could not figure out how it was possible that they were ordinary Five Emperors coins, but they could have ended up in Han Peacock's hands.
Will it become leaky?
Han Peacock almost couldn't help but roll his eyes. This is what Fat Liu is like. His mental quality is not up to par, he has no ability, and he still wants to keep his treasure.
"How about you return the one hundred and twenty yuan to me, and you can keep it and try selling it?" Han Kongque said simply.
Fat Liu looked at the handful of copper coins stretched out in front of him, his face uncertain. These were indeed ordinary Five Emperors coins. Did this boy Han really want to collect them for himself?
But when I thought about it, it was wrong. With this boy Han's eyesight, how could he let himself take advantage of it? Eight yuan a copper coin was already the price to fool a novice. If there was no special reason, Han Peacock would never buy such a thing.
Fat Liu couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it, but there was no way he could return the money he got. Finally, he sighed inwardly and said, "Since I sold it to you, you might as well keep it for yourself and play with it!"
"Then I'll take it, don't regret it." Han Peacock laughed. Fat Liu's worry about gains and losses was really interesting. His expression almost changed to match that of a Sichuan opera.
Han Kongque smiled and saw that Fat Liu was determined to sell it to him, so he stood up and walked towards the street.
There is a shop called Qiange Pavilion in the street, which specializes in ancient coins. Fat Liu is just a small shop, but Qianqian Pavilion is the big one.
As you can tell from the name, Qianqian Pavilion is a specialty store specializing in ancient coins. The owner of Qianqian Pavilion is called Qian Gui, and he opened a store called Qian Pavilion. It can be said that he lives up to his name and is a collector of ancient coins.
Han Kongque has lived in this street for a long time, and he has heard more things. Although the shopkeeper of Qianqian Pavilion, Qian Kuai, did not learn a day, he just likes money. He knows all the ancient coins of the past dynasties.
From ancient shells and knife coins to today's renminbi, the Qianjin Pavilion operates. The fifteen copper coins that Han Kongque bought were intended to be disposed of by the Qianjin Pavilion.
Han Kongque is not at work now, so he has a lot of time. He is not in a hurry to sell a few coins, so he looks at the various things on the surrounding stalls while walking.
Magic City is a big city, and the antique street is very prosperous, but behind the prosperity is the increase in the cost of living. Renting the smallest shop of about ten square meters on this street costs ten thousand or twenty thousand a month.
If it were bigger, 20 to 30 square meters, it would definitely not cost 30,000 yuan, which is 30,000 yuan per month, which is 360,000 yuan a year. If the business is not good, just the rent of the store will not be earned back.
So there are only a few shops on this street, but small vendors occupy both sides of the street.
The city has a population of over 20 million. With so many people, even one ten thousandth of a person who daydreams about getting rich overnight would be a terrifying figure.
Coupled with the rise of antique collecting craze in recent years, various antique treasure appraisal programs have added fuel to the fire, which has made the antique business prosperous. Therefore, this antique street is full of people coming and going every day, especially at nine o'clock in the morning. Before work, and after get off work after 6 p.m.
At this time, both office workers and students and teachers have time to visit the antique street, so as long as you set up a small stall on the antique street, you will not have to worry about business. Otherwise, a stick like Fat Liu would not be able to do it here.
I have lived on the streets for seven or eight years and still haven't starved to death.
It was just after six o'clock in the morning, the most crowded time on this street, so all shops and stalls were open for business.
This antique street is open all year round and is very popular. It sells all kinds of jewelry and jade, cultural relics, calligraphy and painting, four treasures of the study, porcelain and wooden furniture, etc. It can be said that there is a wide variety of everything.
It's just that there are very few good things on the stalls outside, so Han Peacock just looked at them, but there was nothing that attracted him to stop.
The largest quantities here are porcelain and jade, but these two items are also the most fake. Han Peacock didn't want to waste time on this, so he quickly came to a two-story building.
The door plaque of the small building is very gorgeous. From a distance, you can see three big golden characters, Qianqian Pavilion. These three characters have a lot of appetite among young people nowadays, so the business of this store is very good.
Han Kongque walked into the store, and immediately a young girl came over: "Sir, is there anything I can do for you?"
Han Kongque said: "Selling things to whom?"
The girl said with a smooth smile: "Please come over here, we have a special palm-eye master. I wonder what you are selling, sir?"
Han Peacock smiled and said, "What else can I sell to you?"
Han Peacock walked to one side of the store in a few steps. The store was facing east and west. Facing the door was a glass counter with exquisite boxes inside.
The boxes are all wide open, and they contain ancient coins. Most of them are round coins with square holes, and there are also many other special coins. Of course, precious coins will not be placed on ordinary counters outside.
Just like the standing cabinet behind the counter at the end, there are two gold coins placed on it. The gold coins are larger than the modern one-yuan coins. When you enter the store, you can see the two gold coins shining brightly.
However, unless you look closely, most people wouldn't be able to tell whether they are genuine or not. However, considering the reputation of the cash cabinet in the industry, it is unlikely that he would use two fakes to advertise here.
The shop's master chef is Qian Jin's eldest son, Qian Jin. Qian Jin is forty years old this year. He has been tinkering with ancient coins with Qian Jin since he was a child, and he is considered a senior in this industry.
Han Peacock recognized Qian Jin at a glance, but Qian Jin obviously didn't recognize Han Peacock: "What do you want to sell, little brother? Why don't you show it to me?"
"It's not a good thing. Can you show me a few Tongbao coins from Shunzhi and Kangxi?" Han Peacock said and put fifteen copper coins on the counter.
When Qian Jin saw the fifteen coins, which were divided into three parts by Han Peacock and arranged in an orderly manner on the glass counter, he immediately smiled.
Just such a simple action is enough to show that Han Peacock is an expert. You must know that Han Peacock's appearance is too deceptive. If you don't know him well, you will see that he is a thug at first glance. You will never think that knowledge can be compared with him.
It has nothing to do with it.
But Han Kongque's actions were easy for Qian Jin to see. At the very least, Han Kongque had a deep understanding of ancient coins, especially the Five Emperors coins of the Qing Dynasty.
Han Peacock is very particular about the placement of coins. There are five coins in the first pile. The first one is Shunzhi with the character "East" on the back. The other four are just ordinary Kangxi Tongbao, Yongzheng Tongbao, Qianlong Tongbao and Jiaqing Tongbao.
Korean peacocks are very particular about placing them in this way. The five coins in a string are the Five Emperors' coins, which can be used for decoration. But with the Shunzhi Tongbao with the word "East" on the back, the Five Emperors' coins are different. There is a saying called "Purple"
Qi comes from the east.
Because of this meaning, the selling price of these five coins when combined together will be much higher.
Under the counter where Han Kongque was standing now, there was an exquisite box containing five coins, Zi Qi Dong Lai, with a price tag of seven hundred and eighty-eight yuan.
The quality of the five copper coins was not as good as the five coins that Han Kongque took out. Therefore, when Qian Jin saw the Five Emperors coins that Han Kongque took out, he knew that Han Kongque was prepared.
"You also know that we also need to make a profit. After all, the cost of opening a store is not small. If you are really sincere about selling, you will get three hundred from Zi Qidong." Qian Jin thought for a moment and directly gave the price.
It's almost 40% of the final selling price. Although it's not much, you have a store, labor costs, and a final customer base. You only make money after selling.
It would be impossible to sell such Five Emperors Coins for more than 700 yuan in the hands of Han Peacock, but here, in the hands of some people in need, they can be sold easily. This is the advantage of the store.
The price of three hundred yuan is already not low, so Han Kongque answered happily: "Okay, that's the price. I don't know how to calculate the two sets?"
"Little brother, I am really happy. Since we are all experts, I will tell you straight away. This set is Kangxi Tongbao, with the word "lin" on the back. This combination together means five blessings. The price is a little higher, so I count you five hundred.
The other set is Changning Shuangquan, Shunzhi Tongbao has the character Ning on the back, and Kangxi Tongbao has the character Chang on the back. Although these two coins exist in large quantities, it is not easy to put them together. This set counts you eight hundred, little
Are you satisfied, brother?"
Han Kongque had three sets of Five Emperors' money. Qian Jin opened his mouth and explained all the meanings clearly. His skills were much deeper than Fat Liu's. Although Fat Liu knew that the money recited was worth something, he didn't know how to make it worth it.
If we just talk about the collection value of a coin, the price of a Shunzhi Tongbao or something like this is not high at eight yuan. If it is in good condition, it is normal to sell it for fifty or sixty yuan. But there must be channels. What if there is no way?
It's impossible to sell it either.
Fat Liu had never sold ancient coins before, so he didn't understand the market conditions of ancient coins, and he didn't have a suitable customer base. Coupled with his lack of knowledge reserves, Han Kongque must have taken advantage.
The fifteen coins collected for 120 yuan were directly sold for 1,600 yuan. Han Kongque earned 1,480 yuan in a short time, which was much faster than earning money from work.
