The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world

Boss Huang glanced at the young man in shock, but didn't see anything from the other's expression, so he could only lower his head to study the copper coins, his hands trembling even when he opened the plastic box.

Various measuring tools such as vernier calipers, magnifying glasses, and extremely high-precision electronic scales are placed at hand one by one.

Boss Huang put on white gloves and carefully placed the copper coins on the instrument, lest he bump this 'Yongle Tongbao Back Three Coins'.If it is genuine, then even a little damage is the loss of the entire ancient money world!

Yun Zhou waited like this for an hour, and the tea in the teacup completely cooled down, with no heat left.

He watched Boss Huang sweating profusely after observing and measuring the ancient coin, and then hurriedly took out the pictures of the Shanghai Museum for comparison, comparing them bit by bit, and looked at them very carefully.

The other party seemed a little uncertain, so he quickly called and asked professionals to scan the 3D image of this copper coin, and compare it with the one in the Shanghai Museum.

Yun Zhou glanced at his phone. He came here at 9:11 am, and it's past [-]:[-] now.

His mood also became much calmer from the excitement at the beginning, because he believed in Xiao Yulong's ability, and believed that this 'Yongle Tongbao Back Three Coins' was genuine.

Boss Huang frowned. Judging from the size, weight, copper quality, money text and the unearthed traces of green rust, he felt that this ancient coin might be real.

It's just that the imitation technology is too advanced now, and various counterfeiting methods such as re-engraving, overcasting, embedding, bonding and splicing, and old-fashioned colors emerge in an endless stream. If you don't pay attention, you will be fooled.

There was a piece of 'Yongle Tongbao Backing Three Coins' that was uploaded vigorously in the market before. He also saw the pictures, and there were almost no flaws, and the comparison of the patterns could reach more than 80%.

At that time, there was a lot of shock in the ancient coin market. There were different opinions. Many people thought that this was the only real coin except the one in the Shanghai Museum. The price was very high, and some people even offered 200 coins. Wan's high price wants to buy.

However, this copper coin was finally found to have a problem with the distribution of copper rust. Judging from the time, place, and storage environment of the unearthed copper coin, the degree of corrosion of the copper coin should be higher and more natural.

Ugh.

Boss Huang checked the ancient coin in his hand over and over again, and sighed, he was a little uncertain.

If it is true, he will make a lot of money. If he meets a Tibetan friend who really likes this coin, he can more than double it as soon as he changes hands.

But if it is fake, at least more than 100 million will be lost, which is equivalent to the profit of the store for several years.

His kind of shop is not like a shop that specializes in selling porcelain, calligraphy and painting. It is true that they will not open for three years, but they will eat for three years after opening.

When you meet a proud customer, you can sell a piece of porcelain for tens of millions, while ancient coins are all small businesses.

Boss Huang was bitter. He said just now that the young man had just brought an arhat coin, and he gave him such a big surprise in a blink of an eye. It was a hot potato!

He was not willing to let go of such a big benefit, but also unwilling to take such a big risk, and he was very anxious.

By the way, Boss Huang remembered that he hadn't asked where this ancient coin came from, maybe there could be new clues.

Yun Zhou smiled when he heard the other party's question: "Boss Huang, do you still remember the old lady from a few days ago?"

"You mean... you took it from that old lady?" Boss Huang was taken aback, this was completely beyond his expectation.

It's not that his nobleman forgets too much, but that he has seen the appearance of those copper coins and touched them himself.Rust stains make it hard to see the money, not to mention, even the whole body of the money is oxidized and brittle, and it may shatter if dropped on the ground.

The most important thing is that this kind of harmful rust is difficult to remove, and it will damage the money if you are not careful, so there is no other way but to seal it up.

Boss Huang looked at the ancient coin in his hand in disbelief, and saw that the money writing was clear, the style of the book was authentic, and the body of the coin was intact. Only a thin layer of green rust was covered on the surface, and the appearance was excellent.

what?

Is this the copper coin he saw that day? !How is this possible?

If he had this kind of appearance, he would definitely accept it, but it was only 3000 yuan.

Yun Zhou smiled slightly, the two dimples on his cheeks were looming, and his voice was clear and clear: "I saw her again in two days after I left your place that day. , I just helped out.

Later, I thought about sending the Buddha to the west, and the coins looked real, so I bought them. "

Thinking of his attitude at that time, Boss Huang's face became hot, as if someone had slapped him in the face.

But it's not his fault. There are too many scammers in the antique market these days, and the copper coin is of extremely poor quality.

The annoyance in his heart was annoyance, but he knew in his heart that this young man really had kindness, he deserved it, and no one could take it away.

Yun Zhou thought for a while and added: "The old grandma said that her ancestors have been in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, and she didn't move to City S until she was young. I think these Yongle Tongbao were unearthed in Fuzhou."

Boss Huang's heart moved: Emperor Yongle once sent Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, on seven voyages to the West.

Zheng He led the fleet from Nanjing, assembled in Liujiagang, Taicang, Jiangsu, and berthed at Taiping Port, Changle, Fuzhou, Fujian, and then sailed to the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean, visiting more than 30 countries and regions. ①

Fuzhou's port is where it sails to sea.

It is said that one of the reasons why Yongle Tongbao was minted was to use it as a trading currency when sailing to the West, which happened to coincide with the place where this ancient coin was unearthed.

Boss Huang has a little more confidence in the copper coin in his hand, no matter in terms of the coin itself or its origin, it seems to be real.

Just let him buy it, in case it is fake——

The loss is on the one hand, and the reputation of the first bank.

After accepting this ancient coin, it is impossible for him to collect it himself, and he must find a buyer with the highest bid.In this way, coupled with the rare feature of "Yongle Tongbao carrying three coins", it will definitely cause a sensation in the market at that time!

If it's fake, it's screwed!

Boss Huang gritted his teeth fiercely. On the one hand, there are huge benefits, and on the other hand, huge risks. How to choose between the two?

In the end, he decided to be on the safe side, and said with a wry smile: "Young man, I'm a little doubtful about this ancient coin of yours. Is it true? Why don't you find someone more professional to look at it?"

In the antique market, it is generally said that this item is not sure, but it is actually a gentle way of saying 'I don't think this item is genuine'.

After all, someone bought a treasure for you to appraise at a high price, and you just said 'this is rubbish', which is really ugly.And if you say bluntly in front of someone else's booth, 'Don't buy it, what he sells is a fake', it will be even more difficult.

Therefore, the term 'not sure' has become a kind of jargon in the antique world.

Of course, Boss Huang obviously didn't mean that. He just couldn't confirm, or couldn't believe that this ancient coin was genuine.

"Boss Huang, I can assure you that this Yongle Tongbao back three coins is real." Yun Zhou looked at the other party and said seriously.

"Hey, let's put it this way, unless you are endorsed by a well-known ancient coin expert, it's really not easy to sell your copper coin."

Boss Huang sighed softly. It's not that he doesn't believe in the boy's character, but it's not that simple.

Why do modern people have to find appraisal experts to appraise and issue various appraisal certificates, because there are too many fakes in the antique market.

Most people are amateur collectors, with weak eyesight, unable to tell the real from the fake, and the current technological means can only be used as an aid, so they all turn to experts for help, and only those that have been appraised by experts can be considered genuine.

The current copper coin is of extraordinary significance and has a very high status in the ancient coin world, so he can't easily make a conclusion.

Yun Zhou lowered his eyes, the most helpless situation was like this, even if he knew it was genuine, others would not believe it.

The antique world believes in experts and masters, and only their words have credibility. How can he be guaranteed as a student?It's no use even talking about it.

The two were silent for a while, Yunzhou didn't want to give up, "Boss, do you know any experts on ancient coins? Can you help me get in touch? Or I can do it myself."

Boss Huang thought for a while, then nodded and said: "I know a top expert on ancient coins, but he is usually very busy and doesn't sell easily. How about this, wait for me to send an email and attach the photo of this coin to Above, he may be interested if he sees it."

"Thank you, boss." Yun Zhou left his contact information, waiting for Boss Huang's notification.

Besides, he did not give up and went to other antique shops. As expected, the reaction of these shop owners was the same as that of Boss Huang, and no one dared to accept it.

**

Yun Zhou thought that he would have to wait at least several days for news. Unexpectedly, the next morning, Boss Huang hurriedly called and said that the expert would arrive in the afternoon and asked him to come over early.

Yun Zhou simply tidied himself up.

The boy in the mirror has a fair complexion, his long hair has been cut short, revealing beautiful eyebrows and eyes.The clothes are still simple T-shirts and trousers, and a pair of white canvas shoes are under the feet, but they are all washed clean, exuding the smell of clean sunshine.

He came to the 'No. [-] Bank' with the coins. Boss Huang had already set the tea set on the table, waiting for the distinguished guests to arrive.

"Xiaozhou", the two of them got to know each other a lot through the previous two exchanges, he briefly introduced: "The big guy who came in a while is surnamed Fu, the former curator of the Shanghai Museum, and one of the top collectors in China.

After curator Fu left office, he opened his own museum, specializing in the exhibition of various ancient coins and other collections in private collections. He is a veritable giant. "

He instructed: "When you see him later, don't be nervous, relax, just tell the truth about what you ask."

'Surnamed Fu? Yun Zhou suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

About an hour later, a tall middle-aged man walked in, wearing a well-tailored high-end suit, with sharp eyebrows, and he could feel an amazing aura just by standing there.

Behind him was a young man who looked similar to him, with perfect body proportions, wearing a blue silk shirt, full of extravagance, and his face was more handsome than a movie star.

But the youth's brows were a bit hazy, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, showing a kind of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.

When he saw Yun Zhou, his eyes were obviously stunned, and there was a sleepy murmur from his mouth, but no one could hear it.

The author has something to say:

Pull the scumbag out for a walk.

I'm sorry, but what we Zhou Zhou got was an upgraded script of abuse and scum.
