Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 379 Wanan Compass
Uncle Li and Zhao Gang's father saw that Zhao Gang was holding the compass in his hands for a long time, but they didn't intend to let it go.

Uncle Li looked at Zhao Gang anxiously, but he dared not speak for fear of affecting Zhao Gang!
Zhao Gang turned it over and looked at it for a while, then put the compass on the table and looked at Uncle Li.

"Master, this thing is a good thing."

After hearing Zhao Gang's words, Uncle Li, who was originally heartbroken, suddenly came to his senses.Both eyes should be shining.

Subconsciously grabbed Zhao Gang's hand. "Xiao Gang, is this a good thing?"

Zhao Gang smiled and nodded, giving Uncle Li an affirmative answer!

Zhao Gang's father didn't understand either, but when Zhao Gang said it was a good thing, he quickly picked it up and looked at it.

"Xiao Gang, what is this thing? Isn't it just a compass, why is it a good thing?"

Zhao Gang's father held it and looked at it for a long time but couldn't see why, so he couldn't help asking.

"Dad, you don't understand this. This thing is called the Wan'an Compass, and it's from the Qing Dynasty, and it's a long time ago." Zhao Gang pointed to the ancient characters on the compass.

"Dad, Uncle Li. Look at these words! They were written stroke by stroke by ancient people's hands, so they are very precious. Moreover, Uncle Li's compass is still well preserved, and even the pointer in the middle is still moving. You may feel that this compass is useless to you, but if it is in the hands of some people who like to collect it, it will be worth a lot of money."

Listening to what Zhao Gang said, Uncle Li's mood at the moment has become so excited that he couldn't be more excited.

Originally, he was no longer interested in this pair of scrap metal, but he never thought that Zhao Gang would call him a treasure.

Baby is not baby, he naturally doesn't understand.All he knew was that the compass had been in their house since he was a child.

"Then...Xiao Gang, how much is my compass worth?"

The young Uncle Li couldn't hold back his excitement, and even his hands trembled slightly.

Zhao Gang rubbed his chin, thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, Uncle Li. We have been neighbors for so many years, and I won't cheat you. If you are willing to transfer this thing to me, I will give you 30..."

"3...30..."

After Uncle Li heard the number reported by Zhao Gang, his eyes opened instantly, and he almost recited it in one breath.

After Zhao Gang's father heard Zhao Gang's quotation, the hair on his body stood up instantly.

Looking at Zhao Gang in shock, he seemed to be asking if you said the right price.

"That's right, Uncle Li. This thing is worth the price. See if you'd like to pass it on to me."

Immediately, Zhao Gang gave the two of them a positive look.

"If you're willing to transfer it to me, I'll get someone to transfer the money to you right now. If you don't want to, you can also keep this thing in your collection."

Uncle Li is completely in a state of confusion at the moment, his whole hand is trembling, 30, he has never seen such money in his whole life as a farmer.

I didn't expect that this crap that was left at home was worth so much money.

After a long time, Uncle Li finally recovered from the shock.Resisting the trembling hands, "Xiao...Xiaogang. You...you are not fooling you, Uncle Li, are you, this... this thing is really worth so much money?"

Zhao Gang knew that it was really difficult for someone like Uncle Li who had lived in the village all his life to accept this kind of thing.

"Uncle Li, you know what Xiaogang is like. If you want to transfer money now, I will have someone transfer the money to you right away."

Uncle Li didn't seem to be joking when he saw Zhao Gang.

"Turn...Turn, Xiao Gang." Uncle Li couldn't help patting Zhao Gang with his trembling hand and said.

"Okay." Zhao Gang has been waiting for Uncle Li's words.He knew that if this thing remained in Uncle Li's hands, it would be like a waste product. For Uncle Li, the money must be more real.

Immediately, Zhao Gang asked for Uncle Li's passbook number from Uncle Li, and then called Tang Shuang, asking Tang Shuang to transfer 30 yuan into Uncle Li's passbook.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Gang said with a smile:
"Uncle Li, the money has been transferred to your passbook for you, you can check it at the bank in the town tomorrow."

Uncle Li swallowed hard, feeling that all this was like a dream.

Just like that, he got a deposit of 30 yuan.

At the same time, I was surprised that Zhao could get 30 yuan into his account with just one phone call.

"Xiao Gang, you are really promising now." Uncle Li burst into tears immediately, and he didn't know that he was grateful to Zhao Gang.Still excited about what just happened!
As he said that, Uncle Li looked at the miscellaneous things on the table again.

"Xiao Gang, why don't you take a look again? See if there is anything valuable?"

Uncle Li's desperate mood just now became alive with the appearance of this Wan'an compass.

It seems that he wants Xiao Zhaogang to see if there are any other treasures in it, and see if he can pick up another missing one.

But as early as when Zhao Gang looked at the Wan'an compass, he had already spent his free time observing other items on the table.

Except for some imitations, it is basically some old objects from the same era as Uncle Li in the 60s.

These things are basically worthless, and Zhao Gang is not interested in these things.

After explaining the situation to Uncle Li, Zhao Gang told Uncle Li to go to the bank in the town to check whether the money has arrived.

Then he and his father left Uncle Li's house.

Walking on the road, Zhao Gang's father seemed a little uneasy.In the end, he couldn't bear the uneasiness in his heart and asked: "Zhao Gang, what do you think is the use of Mr. Li's compass? It's really worth 30 yuan?"

Zhao Gang naturally knew what his father was worried about, so he smiled and said, "Dad, don't underestimate these things. Now some collectors in big cities like to collect these old antiques, so they don't hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy them! Uncle Li's compass , I mainly take it back for collection, and I can put it in my shop, and if I want to sell it, we can still make a profit if we resell it!"

When Zhao Gang's father heard it, he expressed his surprise again in his heart, and looked at Zhao Gang in disbelief.

"You...you mean, this compass can be sold even higher?" Zhao Gang's father asked tentatively.

Zhao Gang nodded, seeing that his father seemed to be quite curious about these things, he explained it to his father.

"Dad, you don't know that there is an unwritten rule in this antique world, that is, don't ask about the origin when you buy it, and don't care about the price when you sell it."

Zhao Gang's father pondered the meaning of this sentence with a puzzled expression, and he didn't seem to understand what Zhao Gang meant.

Zhao Gang didn't show the slightest impatience and began to explain to his father in detail.
