Roaming in the world of film and television

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. Firstly, he had no research on antiques, secondly, he was not very interested, and another very important reason was that he had no money in his pocket. Those traders will slaughter him as a fat sheep.

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

After wandering around the crowded streets for a while, I turned my face and walked into a shop specializing in trading ancient coins.

It can be seen that the boss has a lot of money, the interior decoration is antique, and various lighting decorations make the exhibition hall brilliant.

Foreign dollars, copper coins, silver ingots, food stamps... and other ancient coins with historical and cultural value are neatly stacked in the glass counter, with relevant notes and prices beside them. In the column-shaped display cabinets in the middle, there are knife coins, cloth coins and other currencies that circulated during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. The appearance is complete and the engraving is clear. He doesn't know whether it is the real thing or a model.

Taking a look at the collectors wandering in the hall, Lin Yue went straight to a twenty-seven or eighteen-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 you want to sell?"

Lin Yue looked around carefully, 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 was too careful, acting 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 was taken aback, he didn't expect that he actually had something in his pocket.

"Wait a moment." This time it was her turn to be cautious, and told 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 over.

The appraiser looked at it over and over for a while, and after weighing, he took a magnifying glass to check the details of the coin face in detail, and said solemnly after finishing the work: "That's right, this is a Saint-Gaudens double eagle gold coin."

"If you accept it, how much can you pay?"

The appraiser thought for a while and said, "Thirty thousand."

"Dollar?"

The other party gave him a sideways glance: "RMB."

what? It's too bad. Judging from the auction records he found, this thing is worth at least 7,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 40,000 yuan. Now the other party is offering 30,000 yuan, and Africans are not as black as you.

"It's too little. The lowest auction price recorded online is more than 7,000 US dollars."

The appraiser said: "It's quite a lot. You also know that's the transaction price at the auction, which doesn't include commissions and taxes, plus the cost of time and energy spent. How much higher can the final profit be than 30,000 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 carefully for a moment, and thought that what the appraiser said had some truth, but it was a bit far from the psychological bottom line of 40,000 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 30,000 yuan." The appraiser said slowly, with a very confident look.

The profiteers in the world are one family. Who knows if the remaining ancient coin trading shops on Sanyang Road have the same owner as this shop, or if the person involved is related to relatives or friends, he is not that stupid, and if he wants to ask, he has to go to other antique markets.

"Oh, thirty thousand..."

Lin Yue was hesitant to go to the antique market next door. An old man with gray temples and tortoiseshell glasses who had just walked past glanced at him with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Grandpa!" A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl behind shook his arm, her voice could not 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 what the other person's opinion was, and chose a question that sounded insignificant.

Ignoring the little girl's expression, the old man picked up the gold coin on the counter and said, "The 1907 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin, with a face value of 20 dollars, is between circulation and non-circulation, and is a rare currency. It fetched $2 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 scoring standards of NGC and PCGS, it can be roughly 64-5 points." You give people 30,000 RMB, tsk tsk... steal money."

"30,000 dollars? Are you buying it?" The appraiser didn't expect to encounter such a thing. It's okay for a 20-year-old stunned young man to say something irresponsible. The key person to fight the injustice is an old man buried up to his neck in loess soil Son, have been living on dogs for decades? Isn't this blocking people's way of making money?

"Don't tell me, if the price is right, I really want to buy a piece as a dowry for my granddaughter."

The old man's words made the appraiser speechless, and the little girl behind her also turned red, and she couldn't get up or down.

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

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

"Then I'll just transfer it to you."

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

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

"Didn't I get into trouble, please make a price."

"Well, I'll take advantage of you, how about two hundred thousand?"

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

"Hmph." The appraiser over there let out a cold snort and left the venue with a flick of his sleeves.

The old man returned the double eagle gold coin to Lin Yue without even looking at him: "There is a China Construction Bank not far ahead, how about we do business there?"

"OK."

Lin Yue led Ba Dun out of the shop and followed the old and the young. "What was 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 200,000 RMB in deposit.

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

Bikes are changed into motorcycles, Altos are changed into Audis, and part-time QMs are changed into young models in clubs. Today is a lucky day.

Two hundred thousand, exactly two hundred thousand!

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.

"Huh!"

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 up the system panel in his mind, he looked at the attribute data and fell into deep thought.

Name: Lin Yue.

Race: Human.

Attribute: Constitution 5.

Strength 10.

Agility6.

Intelligence 7.

Spirit 4.

What is the approximate level of strength at 10 points?

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