Chapter 10 The Copper Coins on the Street Stall
After finally finishing the meal, Jia Wennan didn't seem to want to let Luo Fan go, and proposed to go to the Antique Street to experience the unique antique culture here.

As soon as Qin Fenghua heard it, he knew that his old friend had committed the mistake of being a good teacher again. He was probably afraid that Luo Fan would think that the money from antiques would go astray too quickly, so he planned to give him an on-site teaching.

Nothing to do, Qin Fenghua called a clerk to look at the store, and went shopping with the two of them, maybe there will be unexpected gains.

Luo Fan thought for a while, and decided to agree. Recently, because of Luo's mother's illness, he has been very depressed. Now that the problem has finally been solved, it's good to go out for a walk and relax.

Moreover, Luo Fan, who has money in his hand, also wants to see if he can pick up the leak. After all, getting rich overnight is everyone's dream.

Luo Fan, who owns the system, naturally won't have a hole in the eye. It can be said that buying antiques is a profitable business. Even if the two elders don't talk about it, Luo Fan plans to take the time to come and have a look.

It's just that Luo Fan is destined to be disappointed. The things on these stalls are just handicrafts to deceive ordinary people. It is very exaggerated that there is not a single genuine product in several stalls.

Mr. Jia looked at the silent Luo Fan a little strangely, don't you think you're not moved at all?Generally, this kind of newcomer has long been driven by the dream of getting rich overnight to start buying.

After visiting two more stalls, Luo Fan still only looked at but didn’t buy. Finally, Mr. Jia couldn’t bear it anymore. How can he carry out teaching in this way, how can he teach you not to be fooled by sudden riches, and said to Luo Fan:
"Little friend Luo, what's the matter, after shopping for so long, is there anything you haven't seen?"

"By the way, if you're worried about the price, I can give you one as a gift, as a thank you for helping me find it."

"Something? What did he find for you?" Qin Fenghua asked curiously.

Mr. Jia avoided talking about it and said, "It's not yours anyway, what are you worrying about?"

After finishing speaking, he said to Luo Fan: "How about it, Luo Xiaoyou, whoever you like, tell me directly that the things at these roadside stalls are very cheap, so don't feel burdened."

Qin Fenghua also chimed in and said: "Don't help this old man save money, don't look at him as an ordinary wretched old man, but in fact, as a university professor, he has plenty of money."

Luo Fan smiled and said: "How can this work? It's his business that Mr. Jia is rich. He has been a great help to introduce me. How about it? I'll choose one for myself as a souvenir of my visit to Antique Street. "

The reason why Luo Fan agreed to buy one is that just now, when Qin Fenghua mentioned Mr. Jia's occupation, a message popped up in the system, explaining why Mr. Jia wanted to buy antiques by himself:
Jia Wennan, this is a professor who likes to be a teacher. He seems to be looking forward to teaching you a lesson.

It's just that Luo Fan didn't intend to let Mr. Jia teach him a lesson. After all, he wouldn't do stupid things like buying fakes just to match his performance.

It just so happened that Luo Fan also found an object that was suspected to be genuine, so he stopped immediately and said, "Everyone is tired after walking for a long time, so I just randomly pick something at this booth, hoping to find something valuable."

After speaking, Luo Fan directly took a copper coin in his hand and asked the stall owner, "How much is this copper coin?"

"Boss, you really have a good eye. This is an ancient copper coin from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It is priceless." The stall owner immediately began to boast about his magic skills when he saw a business coming, saying:

"However, depending on the fate of the boss, I can sell you this copper coin cheaply, as long as this amount is enough."

After finishing speaking, the stall owner slapped Luo Fan.

The stall owner is also particular about making gestures. This is a psychological tactic. Only the number "five" is given, and the buyer will make brain supplements based on the psychological price and give an explanation that meets the psychological price.

For example, if Luo Fan's psychological price is [-], he will regard the slap as [-] or [-].

Naturally, Luo Fan knew that it was impossible for him to fall into such a trap, so he asked the stall owner with a smile, "Five dollars?"

"Boss, are you kidding me?" The stall owner pretended to be angry and said, "This is an ancient copper coin from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. How could it be at this price? It's about 50."

"Are you sure this is an ancient coin from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties?" Luo Fan asked with a smile, "I remember buying and selling such things seems to be illegal. As a law-abiding citizen, I have the obligation to report it."

After speaking, Luo Fan took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and made a gesture to call Yaoyaoling to call the police.

How could the stall owner let Luo Fan really make a call? How could he have imagined that Luo Fan was such a stupefied young man, planning to snatch the phone from Luo Fan's hand with a single swoop.

Luo Fan, who had been prepared for a long time, directly dodged to avoid the snatch of the stall owner. He didn't really want to make a phone call, but just wanted the boss not to talk nonsense.

Luo Fan looked at the boss who was still planning to continue to rob, and exited the dialing interface face to face, and said to the stall owner: "Boss, tell me again carefully, is your copper coin from Shang Zhou or last week?"

"It's true that it's not a copper coin from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, but it's definitely not from last week." The stall owner began to brag again, "This is a copper coin from the Ming Dynasty. I just exaggerated a little."

Luo Fan unceremoniously debunked the stall owner, saying: "You are exaggerating a little bit, it is exaggerating for 2000 years, if you sell it sincerely, you will give me a real price, don't talk about these useless things."

"Look at who is next to me. If you want to fool you, you have found the wrong person. I will give you 20 yuan. If you can sell it, I will buy it. If not, I will look at other people."

After Luo Fan finished speaking, he stepped aside and let Qin Fenghua appear in the stall owner's sight.

Seeing Qin Fenghua, the stall owner knew that he had met an expert, and said angrily, "Who am I? It turns out that I am Boss Qin's friend."

"I said earlier that I would have quoted you the net price directly. Forget it, let's say twenty is twenty. I'll sell it to you at a loss."

Generally, the copper coins on this kind of booth are handicrafts wholesaled from art processing factories, and they are not worth much. The cost of each coin is only about one yuan, and there is no genuine product at all.

Some stall owners will also mix in some copper coins obtained from waste collection stations and other channels. Of course, the copper coins obtained through such channels must be screened by master craftsmen before they are displayed.

Although the probability of shipping this kind of copper coins after screening is extremely low, it is a little stronger than the zero probability of factory goods.

There is no doubt that the copper coin in Luo Fan's hand was a fish that slipped through the net, and the stall owner mistakenly said that it was a copper coin from the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it doesn't mean that as long as it is genuine, it is worth money. The specific value of copper coins depends on the quantity and condition of the copper coins. However, if Luo Fan buys them for 20 yuan, he will definitely make a steady profit.
