Chapter 42 Cherry Blossom Country Antique Merchant

He is the owner of Yamato Coin Shop.

The name is Ryoichi Yamamoto, and he has a lot of Qianlong Tongbao in his hand. Let's go and see the quality.

"Ah?" Liu Shuya looked nervous.

"Is he a merchant from Sakura Country?"

Xiao Ru nodded, "With you accompanying me, the effect will be much better than that accompanied by Uncle Yao."

In fact, Liu Shuya hated the people of Sakura Country since she was a child, and she saw a lot of cruelty and despicableness about them on TV.

However, for such a major event as the delivery of Qianlong Tongbao, he was willing to go all out.

"Let's go, I hope he's not a pervert."

Along the way, Xiao Ru recounted the reserves of Panjiayuan's Qianlong Tongbao.

Liu Shuya deduced that the supply volume should not be a problem.
Taihe Ancient Coin Shop.

The crowd is empty, but the music of Sakura Country is extremely elegant.

Ryoichi Yamamoto greeted him with a smile and bowed to show his kindness.

"Xiao Jun, your arrival has made the shop shine."

"Yamamoto-kun, you are too modest!"

"Yoxi, there is such a pure beauty."

"Hahaha, her name is Liu Shuya."

Liu Shuya felt uncomfortable all over and showed a forced smile.

Follow Xiao Ru closely and observe around the store.

"Yamamoto-kun, you have a wide variety of ancient coins here, one of the few in the entire Panjiayuan."

"Qin coins, Han coins, Tang coins, Song coins, you name it."

Yamamoto Ryoichi pointed to an ancient coin and said seriously: It is the seal script of Emperor Song Dynasty Tongbao Xiaoping with bare back.

Its coins incorporate the emperor character, which is the only one among many ancient coins.

Moreover, the existing number is very rare. It was cast during the Renzong period of the Northern Song Dynasty and belongs to a type of currency named Feinian. The historical research has far-reaching significance, and rare things are more expensive!
Xiao Ru was a little curious to see such a rare authentic product here.

"Yamamoto-kun, how did you get it? Can you give me some pointers."

The arrogant Ryoichi Yamamoto, not aware of Xiao Ru's true intentions, explained the whole story by the way.

"I got this from Boss Chen three years ago."

"He can't find a second one in his store. If you are interested in other coins, you can go and pick them."

Xiao Ru's heart skipped a beat, which Boss Chen is it?

Selling the national treasure of China to the Sakura people is an act of traitor.

"Oh? Where is his shop?"

Ryoichi Yamamoto smiled slightly: "It's right in front of you, the Old Chen Ancient Coin Store."

"The owner's name is Chen Gui, and there are many rare and genuine products in the shop."

The more he listened, the more angry he became. Chen Gui was 100% a traitor. He not only had contacts with the people of the Sakura country, but also had close contact with the merchants of the Empire on which the sun never sets. He was definitely not a good guy.

Wait too long, slowly deal with him, and return justice to the people.

Soon, Xiao Ru took out the Qianlong Tongbao that he carried with him in his pocket.

After rubbing, Ryoichi Yamamoto squinted his eyes to observe.

"Xiao Jun, you have been fooled, there is no doubt that this is a fake."

Then he ordered the clerk to take out a genuine Qianlong Tongbao, held it on his fingertips, and blew it hard.

"The timbre is swirling, this is the real thing."

"I have 20000 pieces here, not for sale."

Liu Shuya felt a little mysterious, since it was a business, why not sell it?He coughed twice.

"Yamamoto-kun, I am very interested in the history of the Qianlong period, can you sell me one? I will give you twice the price."

Ryoichi Yamamoto looked embarrassed.

"Miss Shu Ya, I was also entrusted by someone, and all the 20000 coins have been reserved."

"I will give you a Yongzheng Tongbao for free, which is several times scarcer than the Qianlong Tongbao."

Liu Shuya knew that there must be tricks here, and then thought of the ancient Silk Road silver coins.

"Yamamoto-kun, I want another one."

"Go ahead."

Liu Shuya said naturally: "The silver coin of the ancient Silk Road in the eighth century AD."

Ryoichi Yamamoto didn't think much, took it out from the cabinet, and handed it to Liu Shuya.

Xiao Ru took out 500 yuan from his pocket as payment for the silver coin.

Ryoichi Yamamoto smirked for a while: "Mr. Xiao, our friendship is only worth 500 yuan?"

"How can I remain indifferent to seeing such a beautiful lady? This silver coin is a meeting gift, and we will be friends from now on."

Liu Shuya blushed and put the ancient Silk Road silver coins into her carry-on bag.

He was really cunning, so Xiao Ru had no choice but to accept the favor for the time being.

"Oh, by the way, does Yamamoto-kun have Kaiyuan Tongbao here?"

While talking, he took it out of his pocket and put it on the table.

"It's evil." Ryoichi Yamamoto said hurriedly.

"This one is semi-genuine, somewhere between the fake and the real thing."

Immediately ordered the clerk to take out the genuine Kaiyuan Tongbao, and also blew it hard.

The timbre is swirling, "I am a chemistry major, and I have a little research on metal synthesis."

"Your counterfeit coin can fool ordinary collectors, but it can't fool chemistry majors."

Then, he explained the basic situation of Kaiyuan Tongbao.

In the fourth year of Tang Gaozu Wude, in order to rectify the chaotic currency system, Sui money was abolished, following the strict norms of the five baht in the Western Han Dynasty, Kaiyuan Tongbao was cast to replace the five baht left in the society.

Cast from copper, gold, silver, lead, iron materials.

Diameter 2.2cm to 2.6cm.

Usually weighs 4 grams.

Liu Shuya was very amazed by this explanation, and had to admire that the people of the Cherry Blossom Country have studied Chinese culture so profoundly, far surpassing ordinary people. If this continues, the national treasure of China may be ransacked.

Xiao Ru clapped his hands, "Wonderful!"

"I didn't expect that I was really an ancient coin novice, and I actually regarded fakes and counterfeit coins as treasures."

"Yamamoto-kun, can you sell me one of your Kaiyuan Tongbao? I'll pay twice the price."

Yamamoto Ryoichi's expression changed drastically.

"No, absolutely not."

"All the Kaiyuan Tongbao in my store have been reserved."

Xiao Ru didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Could it be that he also had a strategic cooperation with Yaohua Antique Store, so he asked side-by-side:

"Why such a coincidence?"

"It's such a coincidence." Yamamoto Ryoichi smiled.

"There are only 1 Kaiyuan Tongbao stored in the store, all of which have been reserved by Ma Jun."

"Everyday when people come to the store to buy something, I have to say it's out of stock, and the customer shakes his head and leaves."

Sure enough, Xiao Ru guessed that he and Ma Jun were accomplices.

Liu Shuya showed a sweet smile, "Yamamoto-kun is indeed a master in the antique circle. You can make a lot of money without selling coins."

Ryoichi Yamamoto was fascinated by such a smile, and said without reservation: "A beautiful woman can talk, how can I have such great ability, I rely on Yaohua Antique Shop and Lao Chen Ancient Coin Shop for my food."

"Don't look at Boss Chen's plain clothes, he is the real local tyrant."

"He is a well-known figure in the entire capital's antique circle. Experts in antiques from the Empire on which the sun never sets must call him big brother."

This sentence completely exposed that John must also be an acquaintance of Ryoichi Yamamoto.

"Wow! Boss Chen is so powerful." Xiao Ru praised deliberately.

Yamamoto continued: "The antique expert from the Empire whose name is William, the sun never sets, has a great background."

"I will recommend you next time."

This, to Xiao Ru's surprise, was not John.

After talking so much, I have gained a lot. If I don't leave, I am afraid that Ryoichi Yamamoto will be suspicious.

Putting down the tea cup and standing up to say goodbye, a series of numbers came into view and then came to mind.

Tang Dynasty Tuqi Shihan money, 211 yuan;
Huangsong Tongbao, 638 yuan;
The price was actually exactly the same as the closing price on the Shengshidongfang buying and selling platform!
China's national treasure, bad luck is coming.
