Antique Dealer

Chapter 285

At this moment, the old lady's attention was already on the copper coin in Fang Hao's hand, thinking of various ways to test it, and wanted to get the copper coin, but Fang Hao often talked about it, and never let it go. The old lady got her way.

The more this happened, the more anxious the old lady felt, as if there were ants crawling in her heart, she couldn't help but wanted to go up and grab it.

Fang Hao avoided the old lady's hand and scolded: "What do you want!"

The old lady was also very angry: "Hey, why are you so funny, is this copper coin yours?"

Zou Mao stood up and said with a cold face: "I have decided to sell this copper coin to Boss Fang, so don't get involved."

"Come on, come with me!"

Seeing that Zou Mao was very tough, the old lady changed her action plan, dragged Zou Mao to a secluded place at the door, and began to criticize: "Why are you so ignorant, I am doing this for your own good, now For those who do business, if there are a few people who don’t use their brains, you can be sure that the price he gave is not low?”

Zou Mao said: "Anyway, I think the price given is not low, and I am satisfied."

After hearing this, the old lady became more firm in her guess, and said hypocritically: "Hey, you are already like this, and you don't want to sell more money. Do you have a brain problem?"

Zou Mao sneered in his heart, it was because of the money that the old woman was so considerate of him, he waved his hand: "Then I have to ask, you don't even know the price he gave me, how do you know that I sold it at a loss? Besides, how do you define no loss, selling 500 million, 1000 million? Just one copper coin, do you think it is possible!"

After hearing these words, the old lady misunderstood these words, thinking that the copper coin could be sold for at least one or two million yuan, and wished to snatch the copper coin from Fang Hao's hand immediately.

Zou Mao noticed the old lady's expression, but he couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he hated her even more, turned around and left.

"Wait, things can't be sold!"

The old lady thought that Zou Mao wanted to complete the deal with Fang Hao, so she stopped Zou Mao in a hurry, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Zou, you see, I haven't brought the copper coins from my side yet, let's show him together later. Look, if there are valuable ones, we can discuss the price together, maybe we can sell more?"

"I'll be damned if I believe you!"

Zou Mao slandered, and said, "I'm not like some people who will go back on what they said. Since I promised to wait until the things arrive, I will definitely not change my mind easily."

Of course the old lady could hear that Zou Mao was talking about her, but as long as she could make money, she didn't care about such things.

The old lady was here, and the three of them couldn't talk easily. At this time, Tang Mingshan called Fang Hao, saying that he had helped Fan Gensheng get a temporary ID card, went to the bank to report the loss of his bank card, and then helped Fan Gensheng buy a return ticket.

In order to express his gratitude, Fan Gensheng also presented a wooden statue carved by himself.

Tang Mingshan sent the photo of the statue to Fang Hao.

Fang Hao opened the wood carving photos sent by Tang Mingshan, and saw that the material should be boxwood wood carvings, and the theme was Su Shi and his children.

I saw Su Zi coming from the jade tree facing the wind, holding the manuscript, as if "Red Cliff Fu" was completed, full of vigor and high spirits, even the boy holding the lamp who accompanied him was also full of joy.The style is exquisite, the carving is smooth, the proportion is good, and the details are vivid.In particular, the faces of the characters, concentrating on far-sighted thinking, and daring to the extreme, have great artistic appeal, which can be called both spirit and form.

Fang Hao was surprised when he saw the photo, but after thinking about it again, Fan Gensheng is from Caozhou, which is the hometown of woodcarving, and Fan Gensheng also said before that he can carpentry, and it is normal to be able to carve, but he did not expect that Fan Gensheng's woodcarving skills can be as good as It's so good, relying on this skill, selling woodcarving handicrafts is better than wandering outside and doing odd jobs.

Tang Mingshan actually asked Fan Gensheng this question, and the answer was simple. Fan Gensheng did not have a corresponding sales channel, and sometimes it took a long time to sell a piece of woodcarving handicraft, so it was better to do odd jobs.

For an unknown woodcarver like Fan Gensheng, he really needed a suitable sales channel. Fang Hao thought about it for a while, and came up with a solution, which was to add an auction section to his website and APP.

The items on this auction column are not antiques, but traditional handicrafts produced today, and they need to reach a certain level of art. For example, only excellent works such as Fan Gensheng's sculpture of Su Shi and his children can be auctioned.

To put it simply, the auction needs to be evaluated by him. He does not do this to make money, but simply to promote traditional culture. Only when the materials are in place can these technologies be redeveloped.

Fang Hao told Tang Mingshan about his plan, and Tang Mingshan also felt that it was feasible, so Fang Hao asked Tang Mingshan to contact Cao Wei to launch it on the website and APP as soon as possible.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, an old man in his 60s hurried over, holding a box in his arms, looking at Zou Mao with embarrassment: "I brought the copper money."

Zou Mao looked at the size of the box brought by his ex-father-in-law, and felt that something was wrong. When he opened it, he found that there were only a hundred copper coins inside. He was very surprised: "I took it before, shouldn't it be more than these copper coins?"

The old lady said: "Oh, it's not about finding a job for Xiao Fei. After entrusting the relationship, the other party likes to collect copper coins, so we picked some and gave them away."

Zou Mao suddenly had nothing to say. He didn't believe what the old lady said. It was more likely that she sold those copper coins.Thinking that I hadn't thought of playing with those copper coins all this time, the old woman was so good, she sold so much within a few days after taking it back, thinking about the fire in her stomach started to rage again.

Seeing that Zou Mao's expression was not right, the old lady hurriedly said, "Xiao Zou, let's let the boss take a look first."

Zou Mao held back his anger. He felt that if he went on like this, he would turn into a ninja turtle. However, what could he do, beat the old woman up?After the beating, he was really happy, but what should he do after that?
Fang Hao was also worried that Zou Mao couldn't help but explode, and went forward to take the copper coins in the box to the table. In the process, he found a big target.

From the corner of Fang Hao's eyes, he noticed that the old lady was staring at the copper coin in his hand. Anyway, he had achieved his goal, so he stopped hanging on the old lady, pretending to be careless, and put the copper coin in his hand on the table. superior.

The old lady's reaction was not beyond Fang Hao's expectation, she snatched the copper coins on the table and disappeared like flying away.

Fang Hao thought it was funny. If he participated in the Olympic Games at such a speed, why would he not be able to win the prize.

It wasn't until the old lady disappeared that the old man came to his senses. He saw that everyone's eyes were on him, and he hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say. After holding back for a long time, he said dumbfoundedly: "Ah, little Zou! , I'll go and persuade her to take the things back."

As soon as the words fell, he also ran away like a mouse seeing a cat.

Ma Xiaohu let out a long breath: "Old cat, thanks to you, I was able to bear such a mother-in-law before."

Zou Mao was in a mixed mood at the moment, and he shook his head: "Is it true that she has always looked down on me and never came to my house, and I am too lazy to go to her house to be angry. If my son is not sick, maybe I can live in peace for the rest of my life. .”

Ma Xiaohu walked over and patted Zou Mao on the shoulder: "The difficulty will pass sooner or later."

Zou Mao smiled bitterly and said, "I hope."

At this time, Fang Hao's attention was all on the copper coin, which was also Chongning Tongbao. When he picked up the coin, he felt the weight of the coin and knew that his guess was right. .

Most of the calligraphy of Chongning Tongbao is elegant and thin, with regular handwriting, and some of them are made of Song Huizong's thin gold body.Because of its more exquisite cast fonts.Higher than Chongning Chongbao and Chongning Yuanbao, Song Weizong and Wang Mang were called the "two sages of money and law" in the Song Dynasty, and they are the most valuable among bronze coins.

Even so, the general price of Chongning Tongbao is between tens of yuan and 200 yuan.Most of the Chongning Tongbao in the auction market is only tens of thousands of dollars. Although there are millions of dollars, such coins are basically difficult to see among the people, otherwise it would not be so rare.Of course, once a coin of this level appears, it will attract great attention.

What Fang Hao said before was actually a bit exaggerated. He never expected that at Zou Mao's place, he actually found a Chongning Tongbao worth millions.

This large-character version is folded in ten Chongning Tongbao, and the obverse text is Chongning Tongbao in "thin gold body" written by Huizong himself.Huizong's thin gold body evolved from regular script. Its brushwork is thin and vigorous, with iron hooks and silver strokes, elegant and vigorous. It must also be written on round coins. When placing characters in square holes and round coins, consideration should be given to Because a circle is a square, it is more skillful to arrange each stroke properly between the square and the circle.

And Fang Hao could see that this was a real carved mother coin.

Since the Song Dynasty, our country has adopted the method of turning sand to cast money. Whenever new money is issued, copper blocks or tin and lead blocks are used to directly carve money molds, that is, carved mother or ancestral money. mother money.

Carved mother Qianwen is exquisite, with deep and sharp words. The strokes of each character are very clear without any sticking and blurring. Moreover, the strokes are thinner than the circulating money of the same version. From the details, there are still traces of hand-carved carvings, which are often of the same kind. The most precious of coins is what Quan friends hope to collect.

Specific to this Chongning Tongbao, its copper quality is excellent, the caster is fine, the surface coating is natural, and the traces left by history are clearly visible, which is of great collection value and ornamental value.

Seeing that Fang Hao was observing the copper coins in his hand very seriously, Ma Xiaohu immediately knew something was going on, and gave Zou Mao a look. Zou Mao was also full of expectations, waiting for Fang Hao to bring good news.

Fang Hao raised his head, saw Zou Mao's nervous expression, and smiled happily: "I didn't expect what I said just now, there is really a rare carved mother coin here."

Zou Mao felt that his whole body was trembling with excitement, and his words were a little awkward: "Boss Fang, how much is this copper coin worth?"

Fang Hao pondered for a moment: "This kind of carved mother money was a trial casting at that time, and it was rarely circulated, so it has extremely high collection value and economic value. Based on its appearance and the comprehensive judgment of the auction price in ordinary years, I can give it to you. It's 420 million."

When Zou Mao heard the price, he felt a buzzing in his head, and he was in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

Ma Xiaohu was also very surprised that a small copper coin could be worth so much, but he was more happy for Zou Mao. With this money, at least in the short term, the child's medical expenses would definitely be no problem.

Zou Mao finally came back to his senses, and said again: "Boss Fang, did I hear correctly just now, can this copper coin really sell for 420 million? You won't lose money, right?"

Fang Hao smiled and said: "Let me tell you the truth, if the buyer and the seller are friends, this coin can be bought for three or four million yuan, but if it goes to an auction, it may be sold for four hundred thousand or even five million yuan." More than ten thousand is also possible. So don't worry about me losing money, seriously, do you want to take it to the auction."

"Need not!"

Zou Mao waved his hands again and again, and he could still hear good and bad words: "If I didn't need money urgently, I would never have thought of selling these copper coins. There is no time to go to the auction now."

Fang Hao said: "That's fine, I can give you the money now, but there is one thing, you haven't divorced your wife yet, right?"

Zou Mao understood Fang Hao's meaning. Without divorce, if he got so much money all at once, even if his ex-wife didn't make trouble, with the old lady's temperament, it would be impossible not to make trouble.

"Is there anything you can do?" Zou Mao asked.

Fang Hao said: "If the money in your hand can last for a while, I think it is better to trade after a while. If she sues you for concealing property at that time, you can also use the money you earned to deal with it. Legally Surely there will be no problem."

Zou Mao nodded again and again: "This method is good."

Ma Xiaohu proposed a possibility: "If the old woman finds out that she was fooled by us after she returns home, and she wants the old cat to pay her back, if she doesn't pay, she won't be allowed to divorce, then what should I do?"

It is entirely possible that Zou Mao's originally happy mood became depressed again.

Fang Hao thought for a while: "If you are willing to trust me, I can give money slowly in the name of donation."

Helping people to the bottom, now that he has reached this point, he can help again.And this matter is only a little troublesome for him, and there is no loss, and he can also form a good relationship with Zou Mao.

Before, he was just being honest and bought the ancient books of Ma Xiaohu's family at a relatively reasonable price, and he got the reward today, which more or less touched him.

"I'm fine, it's just that this will trouble you too much." Zou Mao believed in Fang Hao very much. If Fang Hao didn't tell him that it was worth so much money, and only gave him 1 yuan, he would be satisfied. But Fang Hao didn't do that, what else would he not want to believe.

Fang Hao said it was nothing, and said that if things really develop as Ma Xiaohu said, when Zou Mao needs money, he can go to his antique shop and tell him, and he will transfer the money to Zou Mao .

Zou Mao happily said no problem.

Seeing Zou Mao's elated appearance, Fang Hao sighed in his heart. With the current medical level, the atrophy of the spinal cord and xin muscles is actually incurable. The more than 400 million seems like a lot, but in fact, I don't know how long it can last. .Zou Mao can only take one step at a time in the future.

Of course, having money is better than having no money. Maybe with the development of medicine, drugs to treat this disease can be invented in the future.
