Chapter 6 Bicycle Turning into Motorcycle

Lin Yue walked out of the gate of the pet hospital with the epidemic prevention certificate, stopped a taxi on the side of the road and rushed to the antique market on Sanyang Road.

In the past, he seldom came here to hang out. First, he didn't study antiques. Second, he was not interested. Another important reason was that he had no money in his pocket. He also had a natural and pollution-free paranoia of persecution. Those traders would kill him like a fat sheep.

Because the reward for the novice task is a 1907 Saint-Gaudens double eagle gold coin, if you want to cash in quickly, you can only bite the bullet and try your luck here.

After walking around the crowded streets for a while, he turned his face and walked into a shop specializing in trading ancient coins.

It can be seen that the boss has strong funds, the interior decoration is antique, and the various shapes of lighting make the exhibition hall brilliant.

Yuan, copper coins, silver ingots, food stamps, etc. ancient coins with historical and cultural value are neatly stacked in the glass counter, along with relevant notes and prices.In the middle column-shaped showcases, there are knives, cloth coins and other currencies circulated in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. The appearance is complete and the engraving is clear.

Taking a look at the collectors wandering in the lobby, Lin Yue went straight to a 27-year-old clerk: "Do you accept ancient foreign coins here?"

"Accept, of course." The woman looked at him and said, "I don't know which country's ancient coins are you selling?"

Lin Yue looked around cautiously, and took out a plastic box wrapped with black tape from his trouser pocket.

There was a wry smile on the corner of the clerk's mouth, thinking that this person is too careful, he looks like a thief.

At this time, Lin Yue tore off the tape, opened the plastic box, and put the contents on the counter.

"It's gold coins."

The clerk's snack was surprised, but he didn't expect that he really had goods in his pocket.

"Wait a moment." This time, it was her turn to be cautious, and she greeted Lin Yue to sit first, then turned and walked into the room behind the counter.

After a while, a man in his fifties came out and walked straight to Lin Yue.

"I'm the appraiser in the store, can I see your stuff?"

Lin Yue nodded and pushed the box containing the gold coins.

The appraiser looked over and over for a while. After weighing, he took a magnifying glass to check the details of the coin face in detail. After the end, he said solemnly: "Yes, this is a Saint-Gaudens double eagle gold coin."

"If you charge, how much can you pay?"

The appraiser thought about it and said, "Thirty thousand."

"Dollar?"

The other side glanced at him: "RMB."

what?It's too bad. Judging from the auction records he found, this thing is worth at least 7000 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 4 yuan. Now the other party is offering [-] yuan, and Africans are not as black as you.

"It's too little. The lowest auction price recorded online is more than 7000 US dollars."

The appraiser said: "It's quite a lot. You also know that is the transaction price of the auction, which does not include commissions and taxes, plus the cost of time and energy spent. How much higher can the final income be than 3 yuan? What's more, this kind of The recognition of foreign currency in China is not high, the audience is limited, and many ancient coin dealers do not accept it.”

Lin Yue thought about it for a moment, and thought that what the appraiser said was reasonable, but it was a little far from the psychological bottom line of 4 yuan, and he would be unwilling to sell it so hastily.

"If you are not satisfied, you can ask other ancient coin dealers. I don't think anyone will give you an offer of more than [-] yuan." The appraiser said slowly, looking very confident.

The world's profiteers are one family.Who knows if the rest of the ancient coin trading shop on Sanyang Road is the same owner as this shop, or if the person involved is a relative or friend, he is not that stupid, and if you want to ask, you have to go to other antique markets to ask.

"Oh, thirty thousand..."

Lin Yue hesitated whether to go to the antique market in the adjacent area. An old man with white temples and a pair of tortoiseshell glasses who had just passed by glanced here with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Grandpa!" A [-]- or [-]-year-old girl behind him shook his arm, her tone hard to hide her anger, as if she thought he was nosy.

Lin Yue rolled his eyes: "Old man, do you know this ancient coin?"

He didn't ask the other person's opinion, and chose a question that sounded inconsequential.

The old man ignored the little girl's face, picked up the gold coin on the counter and said, "The 1907 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Gold Coin, with a face value of $20, is between the circulating and uncirculated coins. It is a rare currency in stock. It fetched $200 million at auction in North America.”

"Of course, the appearance of this Saint-Gaudens double eagle gold coin is not perfect, but according to the NGC and PCGS grading standards, it can almost score 64 five points." Give people 3 RMB, tsk tsk... steal money."

"Thirty thousand dollars? Do you want to buy it?" The appraiser didn't expect to encounter such a thing. It's okay to say irresponsible remarks by the twenty-something Leng Touqing. The key person who fights the injustice is an old man with loess buried in his neck. Son, has it been on a live dog for decades?Isn't this blocking people's way?
"Don't say it, if the price is right, I really want to start a dowry for my granddaughter."

The old man made the appraiser speechless with one sentence, and the little girl behind also made a big red face, and she couldn't go up or down.

"Old man, do you really want to buy it?"

"Can I still joke with you with an old bone of my age?"

"Then I'll just hand it over to you."

"Young man, you can think about it. From the perspective of preservation and collection, this is a first-class good thing."

For those with overseas relations, this kind of gold coin is easy to realize, and its circulation is much higher than that of the ancient coins of the Chinese civilization.

"Isn't this what happened to me, please make a price."

"Well, I'll take advantage of you, how about 20?"

"Okay, just 20." Lin Yue knew that the old man was talking about the exchange rate.

"Hmph." The appraiser over there snorted coldly and left the stage.

The old man didn't even look at him, and returned the double eagle gold coin to Lin Yue: "There is a construction bank not far ahead, how about we go there to trade?"

"Okay."

Lin Yue took Badaun out of the shop and followed the old man and the young man. "What's your old name?"

"Xiang Huai."

Xiang Huai?

Why is this name so awkward?

……

After a while, Lin Yue walked out of the antique market with a bank card with RMB 20 in deposit.

The pedestrians beside him, the vehicles in the distance, the white clouds in the sky, the towering buildings, and the General Baton behind him, everything he sees now looks like love.

Bicycles changed to motorcycles, Alto changed to Audi, and part-time QM changed to a club model. Today is a big luck.

20, exactly 20!
After eating rice for 23 years, he has only seen so much money in other people's hands. Now, Mr. Lin can finally buy a toilet in Jianghai City, where every inch of land is expensive.

"what!"

Lin Yue stopped and looked at the sign hanging on the second floor of the building on the left - Shangwu Boxing Gym.

"System Panel."

Calling out the system panel in his mind, he looked at the attribute data and fell into contemplation.

Name: Lin Yue.

Race: Human.

Attribute: Constitution 5.

Power 10.

Agility 6.

Intelligence 7.

Spirit 4.

What is the approximate level of 10 points of strength?

He asked himself a question in his heart, and led Baton up to the second floor.
