Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

When the golden light entered Li Zihang's eyes, he couldn't help but feel curious and walked to the shabby drawer.

The drawer, which was already in tatters, became even more shaky after he kicked it.

Under the dim moonlight, Li Zihang carefully checked the drawer, and indeed he discovered something: the iron ring of the drawer was actually fixed with a copper coin.

Li Zihang kicked the broken drawer to pieces with just a few kicks.

I picked up the coin and looked at it, feeling a little confused.

That copper coin was not the copper coin that circulated in ancient times.

It is the kind of money that is used to make coins. The so-called money refers to the coins that are not circulated and minted by individuals or officials in various periods. Most of them are used for games or special occasions.

Li Zihang looked at the copper coin in his hand and found it was actually Chunhua Yuanbao Gold Coin from the Northern Song Dynasty.

Moreover, it was written by Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi. This type of coin is generally used for temple offerings and is not for circulation. It is made of pure gold and is exclusively used by the royal family.

He had seen the introduction and pattern of this copper coin in his collection of ancient coins before.

Li Zihang remembered that there were very few coins of this kind, and even fewer that had been handed down.

Regardless of whether this copper coin is ancient or modern, it is definitely of great collection value.

Whether it is sold to Liulichang or to individuals, it will definitely make a lot of money.

Li Zihang was overjoyed and began to kneel down to worship the God of Wealth.

"God of Wealth, don't worry. After I sell this coin, I will definitely come over and fulfill your wish."

Li Zihang was so excited that he couldn't sleep in the dilapidated temple until midnight.

In a large courtyard in the old city of Beijing under the starry sky.

Some people were discussing how to deal with the Li family.

In the room of a slovenly bachelor.

Three men in their forties began to discuss.

One of the men looked at the other two and said.

"I must avenge this, even if it costs me my life."

After saying this, he looked at the other two with a firm look.

One of the men said while smoking a cigarette.

"We are five brothers, and we have depended on each other since we were young. Now the eldest and the third are gone."

"Second brother, Xiaowu, you still have a big family."

"I'll take care of this~"

After saying these words, his eyes seemed a little depressed.

He took a puff of cigarette and continued.

"After this, whether it succeeds or not, I hope you two won't mention the past again."

"Don't even think about revenge. Just take good care of your eldest and third sister-in-law's families."

"If something happens to us, how will you let them live?"

After these words were spoken, there was no more conversation in the room, only the sound of clinking glasses and drinking.

At dawn, Li Zihang, who was sleeping in a dilapidated temple, was awakened by the crowing of a country rooster.

Li Zihang, a little confused, scratched his head.

He walked to the rotten vat outside the dilapidated temple, scooped up a handful of water and started washing his face.

Li Zihang thought about how to deal with the copper coin last night.

Since the old man wants to play, he will cooperate well.

It's a good opportunity to use the professor to sell the antiques.

If you sell it to Liulichang, you will be forced to lower the price. If you sell it to professors, you can make more money.

From now on he would only eat the bait and never take the hook.

Just make a small profit from the price difference, never want to make a big profit.

As long as he is not greedy and he doesn't believe it, there is no trap that can trap him.

In a good mood, he walked into the city.

After having a full meal, he took the bus to find the professor. This meal left him penniless. He only had a few cents left.

Li Zihang has been to the professor's home many times and is already familiar with the environment here.

I went up and knocked on the door, and this time it was the professor himself who opened the door.

The professor was a little surprised to see Li Zihang coming. After all, in his opinion, Li Zihang should be depressed at this time and looking for work to do everywhere.

Then the professor started to be polite to Li Zihang hypocritically.

In the living room, the two chatted intermittently.

Li Zihang said meaningfully

"Professor, didn't you go for academic exchange? Why are you back so soon?"

The professor also laughed and replied.

"I'll be back naturally after I'm done with my work. Xiaohang, do you have anything good to give me this time?"

Li Zihang saw the other person and he looked like a seasoned veteran.

I no longer have the mood to explore.

Just take the coin out of your pocket and put it on the table.

"You are welcome."

The other party didn't waste any words. He took the copper coin and began to admire it.

Watch and talk.

"Yes, it is a rare copper coin."

"Tell me, how much do you want?"

Li Zihang didn't waste any words.

"This copper coin was made by Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi. In the past, people would burn incense and pray for blessings in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and then they would make this coin."

"Its value is self-evident. Although this copper coin is not as good as the Da Qi Tong Bao, it is definitely among the top ten ancient coins."

"During the Republic of China, a Da Qi Tong Bao coin was sold in Liulichang. It was sold for a high price of 12,000 yuan."

"This copper coin of mine is one of the best in terms of both appearance and material."

"Even if we use it for alchemy, we can still produce five grams of gold."

Suddenly Li Zihang changed the subject.

"Take this fifteen thousand copper coins."

The professor happily said it was not expensive.

Suddenly the professor said seriously.

"What brings you here today, kid?"

Li Zihang was confused by this question.

It only took him two seconds to react after being confused.

"Why are you going to play this trick on me?"

The professor said in a calm tone.

"If you're alright, you can go out."

Li Zihang began to speak in a bad tone.

"Are you really going to go down the dark path?"

The professor also spoke loudly with a cold face.

"Someone is coming to see you off."

After hearing this, Li Zihang couldn't sit still anymore.

"Okay, tell my grandfather for me. If he plays like this, don't blame me for making a scene."

"When the time comes, it will depend on whether he can hold it."

The professor instantly lost his composure after hearing these words.

He was also the person arranged by the old man to set up the trap for Li Zihang.

Since Li Zihang had seen through his identity and said this, he was in a dilemma.

The old man wanted to train Li Zihang so that he could experience the difficulties of being a low-class person and see the viciousness of human nature.

It would be fine if Li Zihang was just an ordinary child.

But he has both brains and skills.

To put it bluntly, if the old man hadn’t arranged for the professor to come here.

If he dares to do this.

Li Zihang is definitely capable of sending his entire family to hell in the middle of the night without anyone noticing, and then the mess will be huge.

To put it bluntly, if the old man hadn't deliberately hired someone to set up a trap, Li Zihang would have been fully capable of living a good life.

Not to mention other things, just keep playing supporting roles and he won't starve.

This is still a game within the rules. Li Zihang's fighting power is off the charts. If he is really pushed to the limit, it will be easier to make money. This is not what the old man wants.

Li Zihang had already understood after being deceived last time. There was no point in playing this trick on him again.

The professor quickly stood up and said.

"Young Master, please let me go! I can't do anything about it. This is all arranged by the master."

"Don't worry, I'll get you the money right away."

After a while, Li Zihang counted the money contentedly.

Then he put the money into his bag and swaggered out of the professor's house.

An hour later, the professor found the old man and reported to him what had happened to Li Zihang.

The old man sat on the rockery in the back garden, fishing and listening to stories about his grandson.

Professor: "Master, there is no point in going on like this."

"Young Master, after being fooled once, it will be difficult to cheat him again using the tricks in the antique business."

Then the professor said a little hesitantly.

"Master, let me be frank. If we are not deliberately making things difficult for me, then I will be in trouble."

"He can live well anywhere."

"Let's not talk about other things. Except for the time when I just left home, my life was quite hard."

"But in the days that followed, I lived a fulfilling life."

"He works as a tutor, a sidekick, and a translator. He can earn at least 100 to 80 yuan a month."

"If the current situation is not bad, I estimate that within a few months, I can start a business."

"With what I've learned, I won't starve no matter what I do."

The old man ignored the professor.

When you see a fish taking the bait, just lift the rod and let the fish slip away.

It took a long time before the fish was caught.

He said as he took the fish.

"You find a few new faces and gain his trust. Then use the same tactics you used in the past on him."

"If all else fails, bring Xiaohang back."

Li Zihang has a huge amount of money hidden in his bag, and he walks with a breeze and a straight back.

I won’t walk back now, I’ll go to Qinghua Pool to take a bath first.

After taking a shower, Li Zihang strolled through the busiest streets in Dazhalan.

Look around. Since the overpass became deserted, Dashilan and Wangfujing are the most lively!

Even if it is not a holiday or a rest day, Dashilan is still very lively.

Country people who come to the city, as well as people from other places who come to Beijing for business, all like to buy souvenirs here.

There are also various wealthy families, ladies, young masters, and young ladies who come here to shop.

There are various shops on both sides of the wide road.

All the old and dilapidated small shops have been renovated into modern glass door frame shops.

There are also some second-hand dealers who don’t need tickets and just bring a big cloth bag filled with all kinds of goods.

There are small wooden folding shoes made by myself, silk scarves woven by myself, handkerchiefs with various patterns, feather dusters, and children's toys. There is really everything!

As soon as they saw the police coming, they turned and ran.

No matter what time it is, this kind of vendors can never be eliminated.

"Poverty breeds deceit, wealth breeds conscience"

This sentence will never change, there is no way. People have to live.

Take the time when Li Zihang was hungry. He would have known that this was a test from his family.

He had already used force to run to the ghost market and make some big bucks!

Walking to a flower and bird shop on the street, Li Zihang had some ideas in his mind.

It is not enough to just play a supporting role. You have to have a main business.

There was no need to think about finding a job. There were so many unemployed young people these days, and it was impossible for a 13-year-old kid like him to get one.

This flower and bird shop has quite a lot of merchandise.

A 50-square-meter storefront is divided into three areas using three long wooden cabinets.

All that is sold on a wooden cabinet are various potted plants and flowers.

The wooden cabinet in the middle is filled with fish tanks of various sizes, which contain various freshwater ornamental fish.

There was a wooden shelf at the back filled with bird cages, and on a long wooden pole above were bird cages with birds in them hanging.

There is a counter at the door. A middle-aged man is lying on a rocking chair, holding a purple clay teapot in his hand, looking at the passers-by at the door with a detached look.

When Li Zihang came in, the boss didn't say anything and just glanced at him a few times.

Li Zihang looked at the various potted plants on the flower stand and had an idea in his mind.

In this era, all kinds of potted plants are the same old thing.

Plant the flowers and plants in pots. No creativity at all.
