Chapter 374 Apologize, or Get Out

Li Heng nodded.

The rules of this kind of place are like this. Although the regular ones are not so vicious, it is always okay to be careful when walking in this business.

Previously, when Li Heng was very young, before he got into the antique business in a serious way, his father often told him that such a rule in the antique circle was the most basic, and everyone had to abide by it.

First, don't hand it over to anyone when you get started, and don't just let it go and leave.The important thing is to put it at ease, to be sure that it is not my responsibility, and then it will be easy to make it clear.

The second thing is that if you accidentally break the object, you have to buy it as an apology.

Even if the item in the other party's hand is fake, it was bought with real money, no matter what, you have to buy it, and treat it as a tuition fee for yourself, so that you can have something to eat next time.

If it were Liu Guangming, who was an outsider at first, he would admit this unwritten rule.

After all, it's not just the antique circle, there are such rules everywhere.

If someone breaks something bought with real money, how can there be any reason not to pay the bill and not make amends for doing something wrong?
"Hehe, if her father Zhang Daoyin had such a good temper back then, he would have been offended by that little girl... Zhang Minglan's temper is not as gentle as her father's, she is very aggressive. It's hard to say what will happen to this kid..." Liu Vanke said while holding a cup of hot car and took a sip.

Liu Guangming leaned forward, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, and said, "I'm sure, it's inevitable that my tongue and fingers will be cut off."

Jia Wenbin glared at Liu Guangming fiercely, now he was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger.

When he was about to choke back, Fujido suddenly stood up and smoothed things over and said, "Sister Lan, I failed to discipline my subordinates in this matter today, please forgive me!"

After finishing speaking, Fujido glared at Jia Wenbin who was standing there blankly and said, "Don't hurry up and apologize to Sister Lan, or you can go back and let's not talk about this business deal!"

Jia Wenbin also wanted to prepare to refuse to apologize to Zhang Minglan, refusing to admit that it was his fault.

He wanted to see what kind of abilities this woman named Zhang Minglan had, could she know her own tongue and fingers like Liu Guangming said?
But Fujido's next sentence made Jia Wenbin dumbfounded.

If this business was messed up by him, his father would be ruthless and let him have no good fruit to eat!
So he had to bow his head to money, and Jia Wenbin apologized perfunctorily to Zhang Minglan: "I'm sorry!"

Zhang Minglan narrowed her eyes, thinking it was a pity.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to expel Fujitang and Jia Wenbin, but the other party had already apologized, and the one who made the mistake was a stranger whom she saw for the first time.

If I hold on to this point, it will appear that they are too stingy.

"This is not an example!" Zhang Minglan glared at Jia Wenbin and crossed his arms. "If you talk nonsense on my site again, I'll cut off your tongue, and see if you dare!"

Jia Wenbin shrank his neck under the menacing threat of the other party, sat on his chair, honestly made some food, and began to eat.

Maybe it was Master Liu's group who sang together and told Zhang Daoyin's story so realistically and vividly that Jia Wenbin's little girlfriend never dared to ask for a vegetarian salad or Kobe steak. Yes, frowned and went to pick up a few mouthfuls of food.

Now it's finally being honest.

Zhang Minglan knew that everyone's time was counted by the second hand, so the second lot was brought up at the same time as everyone finished eating.

This is a tray covered with a red cloth.

Zhang Minglan was mysterious and not in a hurry to reveal the true identity of the auction item. She asked, "Does anyone know how currency first appeared?"

Everyone's eyes fell on the tray, and then looked at Zhang Minglan, wondering why Zhang Minglan would ask such an irrelevant question.

For a while, everyone couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Minglan's gourd.

Fujido raised his hand and replied with a smile: "I'll answer this question."

"Taking China as an example, the earliest currency was barter. The earliest currency was a kind of marine shell, also known as tooth shell, which was used around the Xia Dynasty. The ancients called it "cargo shell". Then gradually evolved into knife currency , copper coins, gold... until the emergence of banknotes. Things are gradually becoming more and more portable.”

yo ho.Still a Huaxia hand!
Li Heng couldn't help but take another look at Fujitang, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Zhang Minglan knew that what Fujido said was the correct answer, so she nodded. "Then, does anyone know what the earliest metal currency appeared in China?"

"If you want to say that it is the earliest metal currency, it is the copper shell in the last week. It is the earliest metal currency that appeared in China. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the types of shell coins include sea shells, stone shells, bone shells, copper shells and packaged shells. There are several types of gold copper shells. In the past decades of archaeology, there are mainly copper shells without paper, copper shells with Baode, gold-coated copper shells, and ant nose coins."

"Huaxia entered the stage of metal coinage from the original physical exchange stage, during which it experienced a long evolution of physical currency, weighing currency and other stages. The emergence of metal shells is an epoch-making sign in the history of Chinese currency. At the same time, archaeological data also prove that China is the world's One of the first countries in the world to have metal coins."

These words still came out of Fujido's mouth.

The people present were just amazed and admired his profound knowledge.

Li Heng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say... This guy is an islander.

Even Zhang Minglan looked at Mr. Fujido with admiration, but no matter how powerful he was, he was still an islander.

"Then is there anyone who is more familiar with Tongbei? Let me introduce you?" Zhang Minglan said with a smile.

Zhang Minglan's words are put here, and the intention is very obvious. Anyone who is not a fool knows what is placed under that mysterious tray.

If it wasn't for something else, Zhang Minglan wouldn't have been able to keep asking this topic.

For a moment, the eyes looking at the tray became even hotter, as if he wanted to see through the red cloth and see what the baby looked like underneath.

"This copper shell is divided into two types in form: the small hole type and the grinding back type. Its shape is still the shape of a sea shell. There is no writing on it. There is a straight groove and shell mouth. There are tooth patterns cast on both sides of the straight groove. .” Li Heng paused, then continued.

"Sea shells were a symbol of wealth at that time, usually with 'friends' as the unit of measurement, five shells as one line, and two lines as one friend. In Yin Ruins inscriptions and Shang and Zhou bronze inscriptions, you can often see how many shells were bestowed by emperors. Peng's record."

Seeing that Fujitang wanted to continue speaking, Li Heng thought that this person should not steal the limelight.

In terms of familiarity with Huaxia, if they are not more familiar than this foreigner, wouldn't their faces be dull?
Zhang Minglan nodded in agreement.

She reached out and lifted off the red cloth covering the tray on the table. There was a copper shell lying in the simple wooden tray.

It is a little different from ordinary copper shells in that it is covered with gold.

China's oldest currency is natural seashells. As a medium for commodity exchange, it originated at the end of primitive society and became popular during the Yin, Shang and Western Zhou dynasties.

Due to the frequent and continuous commodity exchange process, the number of seashells can no longer meet the demand. At this time, shellfish coins imitated by materials such as animal bones, soft stones, clamshells, clay, chalcedony, etc. appeared. The use of metal materials to cast currency came into being as the times require. It is a direct product of the developed bronze culture, marking China's gradual entry into the age of copper coins.

Gold-coated copper shells are wrapped with extremely thin gold sheets or gold foil on the surface of cast copper shells, so they are also called gold-coated shells.Because the production process is more complicated than bronze shells, the value is higher than that of bronze shells.

According to experts' guesses, this kind of copper shell should not be an ordinary currency in circulation in daily use, and it is very likely that it will be used for rewards, gifts or large-scale payments.

While everyone was looking at the copper shell, Zhang Minglan looked at everyone and said, "This kind of gold-coated copper shell is very rare in the world. My gold-coated copper shell has a base price of 180 million."
