Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

Xu Tianqi is a Tianqi Tongbao minted by Xu Shouhui, the leader of the Red Army of the Southern Uprising Army in the late Yuan Dynasty in 1358 AD. The mintage is in small quantities, with Xiaoping, Zheer, and Zhesan coins. The Qianwen is divided into regular script and seal script.

In order to distinguish it from the Ming Dynasty Tianqi Tongbao, which was cast in 1621 by Emperor Mingxi of the Ming Dynasty and had a large casting volume, it is also called "Xu Tianqi Money".

The difference between two coins with the same name from different years is that the treasure character of Tianqi Tongbao in the Ming Dynasty is Kaizubei, while the treasure character of Xu Tianqi is very similar to Dading coins, which means long foot treasure.

In addition, the second stroke of the character Qi in Tianqi Tongbao in the Ming Dynasty is the first stroke of household, and the horizontal and vertical strokes of the household character are separated, while the horizontal and vertical strokes of Xu Tianqi's household character are not first and the horizontal and vertical strokes are connected.

Ming Dynasty Tianqi Xiaoping's money was worth only a few yuan in 2003, but Xu Tianqi's was worth tens of thousands of yuan.Although the casting time is only more than 300 years apart, the value is worlds apart.

Here, when Ma Yan heard the words Xu Tianqi, he couldn't help but look at Ding Mao in surprise, but his expression remained the same.

This is what antique shops are like. Either you take advantage of me or I take advantage of you. Either you make money from my eyesight or I make money from your eyesight. There are many examples of selling and picking up.

"My little brother knows how to study coins! Yes, this is a Xu Tianqi Xiaoping with an open door. The size is almost 24 to the naked eye. It should be considered a large sample. Do you have a ruler?"

The size of Xu Tianqi's Xiaoping coin is about 23+, and the large sample is about 24.8 mm. Although they are both second-level coins, there is still some gap in price.

Ding Mao shook his head. After all, he had just been reborn and had been in the countryside. He had not prepared tools such as calipers and magnifying glasses.

"Wait a moment, little brother, I'll borrow a caliper to measure the size."

After saying that, Ma Yan handed the coins to Ding Mao again, and then borrowed a caliper from a familiar stall.

After measurement, it is indeed close to about 25, which is a standard large sample.

"Little brother, how much do you want to spend?"

Because Ding Mao just explained the nature of the coin and did not say whether to sell it or not, there is still room for discussion.

Ding Mao thought for a while, and then quoted his inner price that was suitable for the current market situation.

"I estimate it will sell for 12000 yuan."

This piece of Xu Tianqi will indeed cost two or three times in many years, but compared to the price that has increased nearly ten times, this price is not unacceptable at this time.

Hearing this price, Ma Yan couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment. It seemed that there was no benefit to be gained from the price.

"The price of [-] yuan is a bit high. It's really hard for ordinary people to accept it. How about this? Do you have any ideas about [-] yuan?"

Ding Mao was obviously reluctant to give up, so he hesitated. In his previous life, he also collected two pieces of rebel money from the end of the Yuan Dynasty. One was a Dayi Tongbao with a [-]% discount, and the other was a Tianding Tongbao with a [-]% discount.

Ma Yan saw that Ding Mao had not answered, and felt helpless. After all, he was in this business and not a collector, so it was impossible to accept the goods at the highest price. After all, all antiques had the risk of fluctuation and difficulty in selling, so he could not If you directly see profits or have a forward-looking vision, some things will have to be given up no matter how good they are.

For example, in some writings, there are scenes where a certain antique dealer charges a sky-high price that far exceeds the value of the goods at that time, or where several antique dealers increase their prices and compete with each other, but it is rare.After all, there are rules in this business, and if you can’t see any profit, can you buy something and look at it?

Again, it’s not a collection after all!

There are people who break the rules, but they are very few, and the consequences will not be good in the end. In the last life, Ding Mao met a dealer in Linxian County. In the market, people brought goods to him, and he would not say anything as long as he liked them. He increases prices indiscriminately according to the rules, and even fights for things on the stalls while others are negotiating prices, often causing a lot of unpleasantness.In the end, many colleagues boycotted it, and things didn't go very well.

Seeing that Ding Mao didn't want to give in, Ma Yan thought for a while and still wanted to fight for it, so he said: "Okay, little brother, I asked Ma Yan to open an antique shop in Dongcheng, and most of the people here are Get to know me, and let’s be friends. To be honest, the price you quoted is very high, but I can almost help you pay it, but I can’t guarantee it. If I really help you sell it, I will have to pay a thousand for the information fee. Do you think it’s okay? If so, I’ll take you there now!”

Obviously, Ma Yan didn't want to take risks, but he didn't want to miss the profit in front of him, so he could only use this compromise and insurance method.

The information fee of one thousand is still close to what Ding Mao wants, but no one in this county can accept this price, and he will continue to harvest. If he can't get in and out, he won't be able to sustain it.

After thinking about it clearly, Ding Mao readily agreed.

"Then thank you, Brother Ma Yan. My name is Ding Mao. Although I am young, I understand the rules of the industry. As long as the transaction is completed, I will definitely pay you a lot of the information fee."

Hearing this, Ma Yan was also happy and said, "Don't worry, I'll try to get you some more later. Come on, I'll take you there on a motorcycle."

Not long after, the two came to a sports brand store on the pedestrian street.

The owner of the specialty store is named Yang Zhiwei, and Ding Mao from the previous life also knew him.

After Yang Zhiwei retired from the army, he used his resettlement money to start a business, and he did very well. He had two specialty stores in the most prosperous pedestrian street in the county, and he was also an antique enthusiast who was willing to invest.

"Brother Yan, didn't you go to the post office? Why do you have time to come to my place?"

As soon as he entered, Yang Zhiwei greeted him warmly.

"I went. I just walked around for a while and met little brother Ding Mao. He had a Xu Tianqi in his hand which was very good, but I couldn't eat it. I thought you might like it, so I brought it over!"

"Thank you Brother Yan for thinking about your brother. This is a rare breed. Let's go and talk in the office!"

Several people went up to the second floor, and Ding Mao took out the Xu Tianqi Tongbao at Ma Yan's signal and carefully placed it on the table.

When he saw the Tianqi Tongbao, which had clean edges, rounded edges, no flaws in the Guo and Guo dynasties, and was in good condition, Yang Zhiwei concealed his fondness. After appreciating it, he asked aloud.

"Can I hear a sound?"

Listening to sounds is also a way to appreciate coins, usually listening for fire and cracks.After years of circulation, the sound is too sharp, which proves that the anger has not disappeared. Such coins are usually fine imitation coins.

Some coins may appear to be in good condition on the surface, but after so many years, it is inevitable that there will be some dark cracks or cracks that cannot be seen with the naked eye or even a magnifying glass. This kind of sound is too muted.

But if you want to listen to the sound, it is best to obtain the treasure owner's consent first. One is to show respect, and the other is to avoid quarrels.

"of course can!"

Since people sincerely want to buy it, they naturally have to be reassured, so Ding Mao will not have any objections.

Knowing that the coin was valuable, Yang Zhiwei gently dropped it on the table. The sound the coin made when it landed on the table was neither sharp nor dumb, proving that it was as old and not cracked as it appeared to the naked eye.

"Brother Yan, little brother, you sit down and I'll pour you some water."

This is the rhythm that I want to talk about in detail.

After pouring the water, Yang Zhiwei sat down on the boss's chair, picked up Xu Tianqi's money on the table and played with it admiringly.

"Little brother, to be honest, I really like the money, but I don't know what price I want to sell it at?"

Ma Yan had already discussed the terms and price with him on the way here, so Ding Mao quoted the price without hesitation.

"Brother Yang, just call me Ding Mao. I called for fifteen thousand for this coin before. Brother Ma talked to me for a long time, and I gave it to thirteen thousand five. I'll give it to you at this price!"

Yang Zhiwei was obviously a little embarrassed when he heard the price, but he still didn't put down the coin.

Ma Yan also saw the change in Yang Zhiwei's expression, and said quickly: "Zhiwei, despite his young age, Ding Mao's eyesight and knowledge reserve can catch up with us, especially the coin game is no worse than ours. To be honest, I watched him pick this thing up from Lao Zhutou, and originally I wanted to pick up another one! I didn’t expect that Brother Ding Mao had such a good grasp of the price.”

This sentence is obviously a reminder to Yang Zhiwei that no matter how young he is, he will definitely not be able to fool him. It is impossible to buy it at a low price. If you like it, you will get good money.

Hearing this, Yang Zhiwei also looked at Ding Mao with admiration: "I didn't expect that brothers Ding Mao could play so well at such a young age. How awesome!"

Ding Mao quickly replied humbly: "I just have a better life. I met a master who was good at playing in the field before and fell in love with these things. But after all, I only have a short time to play. I will have to consult and learn from seniors like you in the future." Woolen cloth!"

If you don’t tell the lies about the antique shop, they just come out of your mouth. Ding Mao didn’t have a master in his last life, so where can he get a master in this life?This is nothing more than making up a reliance and trying to sell it at a good price.

"Although Lao Zhutou doesn't know much about things, he has been playing for so many years after all. With his shrewd character, being able to pick up such a big leak in his hands is enough to show how powerful Brother Ding is!"

Yang Zhiwei affirmed again, and then said: "Brother Yan knows it. Although I only buy and not sell now, I just like to collect, but the price that the little brother wants is really quite impressive!"

Ma Yan spoke at the right time.

"Zhiwei, you can see how much you want to receive. You can talk to your brother. I just told your brother that our place is small after all and our spending power is limited, but the things are good after all. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to bring you here."

Yang Zhiwei thought for a while, and then said: "I can accept the money of [-], but it depends on whether brother Ding Mao wants to take action?"

Ma Yan immediately pretended to help: "Brother Ding, this price is about the same. In our county, this price is already very good. Even if you sell it out of town, don't you have to pay for the fare?"

Ding Mao once again pretended to be difficult: "To be honest, if I show this money to my master, I will definitely give him at least more than [-] yuan. However, I want to buy a bungalow for my parents in the county. I need some money and it is a bit far away." Water cannot quench near thirst.”

What Ding Mao said is true. After all, he may receive large items such as porcelain in the future, and he must find a place to put them. Even the items he has on his body now are not safe in the sports school dormitory.

So he had already decided on the idea of ​​buying a house as soon as he came in and left first.

As soon as he heard this, Yang Zhiwei's eyes immediately lit up: "What a coincidence, one of my clerks' house is about to be sold! The bungalow has a small courtyard, the area is not small, and the location is good. It is near the water company. The price is It’s suitable, it costs [-], I guess it can be one or two thousand less!”

Ding Mao was also a little excited when he heard this: "Great, then I'll trouble Brother Yang. I'll give this Xu Tianqi to you at the price my brother said."

Yang Zhiwei was also a cheerful person. He took out [-] cash from the drawer and handed it to Ding Mao. Then he went downstairs and called the clerk up.
