Chapter 60 Lao Jia and his wife's second-hand shop

Chapter 60

"According to my estimation, its value should be around 10000-12000M yuan!"

Qin Yang pondered for a moment, but still gave his own estimate.

"What... what? Is this thing worth so much money?"

Brittany covered her mouth and looked at the music box in Qin Yang's arms with a look of disbelief on her face. She couldn't believe that its value was so high.

"OMG! This... is this too expensive?

Even Lao Jia, a bald man, took off his sunglasses in shock, and carefully observed the music box in Qin Yang's hand.

Is this little thing really so valuable?

But before the couple could speak, Wang Rongrong asked first, "Qin Yang, what is the origin of the music box in your hand? Why is it so valuable?"

To be honest, if it wasn't for Qin Yang's words, Wang Rongrong didn't really believe in the value of this thing.

1 M yuan, that is equivalent to more than 6 RMB...

It's just an old music box, is it really worth so much money?

"Well, if you really want to say it, it has a bit of history."

Qin Yang took the music box in his arms and said seriously, "The music box is also called the music box. Its origin can be traced back to the European Renaissance in the Middle Ages. At that time, clocks of various sizes were installed in order to make the clock tower of the church tell the time. The mechanical device is called a "sounding clock." "

"In 1598, the Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci went to the capital of the Xia Kingdom for the first time, and the accompanying gift included an octave. This is the earliest octave that entered the Xia Kingdom according to historical records."

"Later, after various inventions and creations, around 1780, the Swiss in La Yunfang gained inspiration from the principle of the puppet automatic clock, and invented an amazing mechanism - the mechanical bird chiming clock."

"The period when things like the music box were really mechanized, entered the public eye, and pushed it to the altar..."

“In 1796, the invention of the Swiss watchmaker Antoine Fabre brought revolutionary changes to the mechanical music box!”

"He reduced the size of the music box to the limit and promoted the music box, which was successfully developed in the following centuries."

"Antoine Fabre developed the cylindrical music box, which is the oldest music box in the world. This antique is collected in the Haicheng Music Box Treasures Museum..."

"..."

After Qin Yang carefully counted the history of the music box, he paused for a moment and continued, "The mechanical music box in my hand is a purely handmade music box. No matter from its overall shape, From the perspective of lines and patterns, it should come from Switzerland at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. This thing is very close to the time when the watchmaker Antoine Fabre invented the music box..."

"Although this thing was not made by Antoine Fabre, it depends on the precision of its internal parts and the exquisite workmanship on its shell. It is estimated that it was also made by a skilled Swiss artist who was also very famous at the time. A watchmaker. Plus it’s now more than 200 years old.”

"If I want to make a move, there should be many people who want to..."

Qin Yang was not modest at all and told the music box's situation.

"Good guy, this thing actually has these origins."

Lao Jia seemed to have discovered a new world, his eyes widened and he said, "Qin, you really found a treasure this time!"

"Yeah, this thing is so valuable, Qin, you will make a lot of money this time."

Britney also said a little enviously.

The couple worked so hard that they earned less than 2 million yuan...

People spend 300M yuan, and they can take pictures of treasures worth over [-] M yuan. Who can ask for reason?
"Okay, today's community auction is almost over, what should I say? Go back?"

Qin Yang almost cried when he saw Lao Jia and his wife staring at his music box, so he could only quickly change the topic.

"Haha, I didn't expect that today's community auction would be over in the blink of an eye. It was really fast..."

Lao Jia laughed and said, "Let's go, I'll take you two to our shop for a drink of tea. Recently, I found out that some tea from your country of Xia is quite delicious!"

Hey, this old boy has changed his sex!
They even fell in love with the tea from their country of Xia. As expected of you, Lao Jia, you have vision!

In his heart, Qin Yang silently praised the bald man.

"Hey, hey, wait! Everyone, wait!"

Just as they were about to leave, a little brother wearing glasses hurried over to them and handed them a card.

"Mr. Colem said, thank you very much for your generosity today, if you have anything to donate, or buy auction items, you can call the number above!"

As he said that, the glasses boy made an OK gesture to the pastor who was presiding over the auction.

After feeling the situation here, the pastor didn't forget to wave his hand to Qin Yang's side.

Good guy, this guy is a genius!
Qin Yang could tell that the host, who was dressed as a priest, had a clear memory of today's auction.

Otherwise, he would not have specially sent someone to send the card over.

"Well, this thing may be useful..."

Qin Yang accepted the card unceremoniously, and left with Wang Rongrong and Lao Jia and his wife, the church square of this community auction.

Soon, in less than 10 minutes, Qin Yang and Wang Rongrong arrived at the second-hand store of Lao Jia and his wife.

However, the tea that Lao Jia made for the two of them made Qin Yang's expression slightly stiff.

Chrysanthemum tea...

Chrysanthemum tea is just chrysanthemum tea, drinking it also has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, which is not bad!

While Qin Yang was drinking the tea, his eyes were also scanning the shop of Lao Jia and his wife.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a glass cabinet...

Qin Yang stood up calmly, took the teacup to the long glass cabinet, and looked around.

"Hey Qin, is there anything you like? If so, I'll give you a cheaper price!"

Old Jia laughed.

Maybe it's because the couple has earned thousands of dollars today, so the bald guy is in a particularly good mood.

Although Britney didn't say anything, she could see that Qin Yang seemed to be interested in the things in their shop, even though she was calm.

"There are so many things in your store!"

After Qin Yang looked at the things in the glass cabinet, he turned around and looked at the shop with several hundred square meters, and his understanding of the two couples deepened in his heart.

Although there are some old goods in this second-hand store, most of them are second-hand furniture and other things that are relatively easy to sell, and there are few things that can be regarded as antiques at all.

No wonder...

They would rather spend some money to find him to play, and they want to learn a few more hands from him.

At this time, Britney also came over with a teacup, and she said with a smile, "Qin, what do you say? Do we have anything you like here?"

Women's thoughts are more delicate, even if Qin Yang conceals it well, she can feel that Qin Yang seems to value something in their store...
