Antique Dealer
Chapter 29
Chapter 29
Yuan Xiangyun made an introduction to both parties. Yuan Liuzhi saw that the buyer was Fang Hao, and also learned that Fang Hao was going to open an antique shop, so he felt quite disdainful. Does this young man think opening an antique shop is just a joke?Don't touch your head full of bags, it's too late to regret.
But he won't say this kind of thing, he still hopes that there will be more people like this, otherwise how can people like them make a lot of money?And he also noticed that the watch Fang Hao was wearing was a Rolex, and nine out of ten it was a rich second generation play ticket.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sides got to the point. Yuan Liuzhi carefully took out a few coins that looked like underpants from a stack of thick newspapers.
Tang Lijie didn't know anything about antiques, so he moved over curiously, but he still couldn't understand.
Seeing that Tang Lijie didn't understand, Fang Hao observed the coins in his hand and said, "This kind of coin is from the Warring States period. It's called three-hole cloth, because it looks like the trousers that people wear, and some people also call them trouser coins. The price of authentic products varies greatly, ranging from tens to thousands or even tens of thousands or millions of dollars.”
Tang Lijie was quite surprised: "Such a small thing, can it be worth millions?"
"I remember that the highest auction record is more than 500 million, but that's because it's in good condition and is quite rare. Like these, the value can't be so high, otherwise it wouldn't be brought here, you said yes no?"
Fang Hao looked at Yuan Liuzhi with a smile. He felt Yuan Liuzhi's contempt just now, so he should behave appropriately so that Yuan Liuzhi would not regard him as a stick.
Yuan Liuzhi smiled: "It's not easy for me to get these three-hole cloth."
Fang Hao looked at Yuan Liuzhi amusedly, then turned his gaze back to the coin in his hand.
After a while, he said: "I want these five three-hole cloths, please give me a price."
"Since he is Xiaoyun's friend, he is also my friend. Round up the number, let's say [-]!"
Yuan Liu pointed out that this sounded nice, but Fang Hao didn't follow his will, and said with a smile: "Eight thousand is also an integer."
Yuan Liuzhi's face froze, and he frowned and said, "Friend, are you serious?"
Fang Hao looked at him: "What do you think?"
Yuan Liuzhi looked at Yuan Xiangyun, held back his anger and said, "Xiaoyun, I came all the way here because of your face. I didn't expect your friend to be so dishonest!"
"Buy and sell, just do business. Don't talk about what you have. Besides, is this price really outrageous?" Fang Hao looked at the other party sneeringly. Come up with some reason.
Yuan Liuzhi said angrily: "8000 yuan is not outrageous, what is outrageous, this is three-hole cloth!"
Fang Hao pointed to the ancient coins on the table: "So what about the three-hole cloth? Whether it's worth it or not depends on the quality. You don't even look at your few coins, what do they look like?"
"I think the appearance is good, but some are not as good as mine!" Yuan Liuzhi's tone became less firm.
Fang Hao said with a half-smile: "Oh, in order to look good, have you washed it several times?"
Yuan Liuzhi cleared his throat: "Is this... I fell into the pit by accident before, so I washed it."
"Fall into a pit, ha ha." Fang Hao sneered.
Tang Lijie noticed just now that there were obvious cleaning marks on these coins, and one of them was rubbed too hard, and a lot of the old copper rust had been worn away.
"Can't copper coins be laundered?"
"It's not that you can't wash it, but you can't wash it like this!"
Now that the Internet is developed, various theories emerge in an endless stream on the Internet. For example, for a while, there were rumors on the Internet about the pickling and polishing methods of coins. Collectors are very disgusted to do so.
Why can't ancient coins be cleaned with acid?First of all, the acid not only erodes the patina and the bottom plate, but the bronze coins lose their value after washing the patina.
Some people say that acid can wash brass coins, which is also very wrong.Copper-zinc alloy brass coins will dissolve first when they encounter acid zinc, and the bottom plate will show copper's purple-red color.Due to the acidic rainwater and the long-term action of humic acid, copper coins and zinc in shallow pits will also dissolve, making the bottom plate red.Moreover, it will rust after pickling, and it is difficult to regenerate patina.
As for why the grinding method is not advisable, one is to destroy the patina, and the other is to damage the bottom plate and the original natural luster, so that the coins are as bright as new, and they lose the characteristics and value of ancient coins, just like contemporary handicrafts.
Tang Lijie listened to Fang Hao's explanation, and said, "I still have a few Yuan Datou at home, which have turned black, can they be washed with acid?"
Fang Hao said: "Don't do this, the main reason is that the acid will cause damage to the coin surface, making the original light become thief, scattered, bright, and excessively white, and at the same time lead to passivation of the black rust on the surface, that is, the acid will make the black rust A harder oxide layer forms on the surface, which will no longer be able to be washed off, and will definitely affect the value of the silver dollar."
Yuan Liuzhi looked at Fang Hao and was very surprised. He didn't expect this young man to know so much.
In fact, Fang Hao majored in applied chemistry in college, and he only learned this knowledge when he was discussing with Li Mingchao when he was doing an experimental class.
Fang Hao looked at Yuan Liuzhi: "To be honest, these five three-hole cloths have been cleaned. Although they look clean, the patina has been damaged, seriously affecting its appearance and value. Eight thousand is enough!"
Now that Yuan Liuzhi knew that Fang Hao was an expert, he immediately changed his face, put on an innocent look, and complained endlessly, saying nothing more than that he bought these three-hole cloth at a big price, and he could Can't let him make some money.
Fang Hao didn't bother to talk to him, and said bluntly: "I can only pay [-]. This is because the three-hole cloth is in good condition. If it is all like the other four, let alone [-], I will give you [-]." don't want!"
Yuan Liuzhi was still talking about his difficulties, but Fang Hao didn't want to be taken advantage of, and his attitude was extremely firm. Yuan Liuzhi had no choice but to settle the deal at the price Fang Hao proposed.
After Fang Hao paid the money, Yuan Liuzhi changed his pitiful appearance, with a smile on his face, and said that he would contact Fang Hao when he had the goods. After asking for Fang Hao's contact information, he said goodbye and left.
When the people left, Tang Lijie said to his girlfriend: "You are an interesting uncle!"
Yuan Xiangyun frowned slightly: "When I was young, he often came to my house as a guest. I didn't have much contact with him when I grew up. I just met him during the holidays in recent years. When I learned that I was also in the capital, He just asked me, if anyone is interested in antiques, please contact him.
Isn't Fang Hao just about to open a shop, I just thought of him, I didn't expect that the prudent person would become like this now, and I wouldn't contact him if he had been like this for a long time. "
Tang Lijie also said to Fang Hao: "Yeah, this guy is like a chameleon, not a good guy."
Fang Hao smiled and waved his hands: "It doesn't matter, the antique business is a mixed bag, and you will meet all kinds of people. It's good for him to do this. In the antique business, what depends on your own eyesight in the end. If your eyesight is not good, treat the baby as a Rubbish, counterfeit as real, it abounds."
In fact, Fang Hao thinks that Yuan Liuzhi's behavior today is more like a test. As for whether the test is whether he is a stick or his financial resources, it is unknown.
He believed that Yuan Liuzhi would definitely contact him again before long, and by then, he didn't know what he would bring.
After dinner, everyone agreed to keep in touch with each other in the future, and then went back.
Yuan Xiangyun held her boyfriend's arm and said as she walked, "Your classmate is quite interesting. Was he like this before?"
Tang Lijie thought for a while: "It doesn't seem to be the case. When he was in junior high school, he was quite shy and didn't know how to talk to girls. If I looked like him, I would have changed several girlfriends. Oh, fuck me Well!"
Yuan Xiangyun gave her boyfriend a vicious look: "What do you think I am doing!"
Tang Lijie chuckled: "Just kidding."
"You men are all dead, eating what's in the bowl and looking at what's in the pot!" Yuan Xiangyun snorted coldly: "By the way, I forgot to ask him just now if he has a girlfriend."
Tang Lijie quickly said: "Hey, don't introduce your friends to my classmates!"
"Why can't it work? Could it be that my friend is a vicious beast that cannibalize people! I still want to introduce him!"
"How dare you try!"
"Hee hee, I see you are in a hurry, you don't feel at ease when I do things..."
