Chapter 943 A box of silver dollars

Author: In the Name of Lightning

The beautiful bracelet Chen Xiaoyan mentioned is very fancy, each bead shows bright different textures and colors, and there are micro-carvings on the surface, including various small animals.

Such a bracelet does look good, at least for a girl. Just when she was about to reach out and touch it, Li Mo patted her arm and said, "Let's go."

"What's wrong, bro?"

After walking out of two stalls, Li Mocai whispered: "They are all chemical plastics. In addition to looking good, they are also harmful to the human body."

Chen Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue: "I thought it was a natural stone."

Li Mo kept scanning the various stalls. It had been a long time since he visited a domestic antique market, and he felt that it was difficult to encounter any good things again.

I didn't find anything good even at the end of the sun-shaded corridor. This is the temple square in front of the City God's Temple. If I want to go shopping for treasures next, I can only go to the antique street, but I definitely won't have the chance to go there myself.

"Brother, where are we going now?" Chen Xiaoyan looked around, "It's really lively here."

Before Li Mo could answer, he saw a chubby young man walking towards him. The glasses he wore on his face had very thick lenses, and his eyes must be very near-sighted.

The reason why I looked at him more was because he was carrying a small black bag. His right hand was stuffed into the bag and he seemed to be holding something. He was selling something to tourists as he walked. The key was that the people he was selling to were all women. The fat man came closer.

, when you saw Chen Xiaoyan, you happily stepped forward and whispered: "Beauty, are you interested in antique silver coins? They are definitely genuine, you can take a look first."

The fat man took out his right hand from the bag and opened his palm to reveal a gray head. Chen Xiaoyan subconsciously leaned towards Li Mo and stared at him warily.

"You only have one in your hand?"

Instead, Li Mo asked with great interest. The silver dollar in the fat man's hand was indeed the silver dollar issued during the Yuan Shikai period of the Republic of China. But it was also Yuan Datou. Because of the casting place and batch, and the different quantities, some Yuan Datou were quite valuable, while others were average.

General.

The fat man had already asked more than thirty people, but only Li Mo showed interest. He quickly showed a bright smile and said: "Yes, yes, I still have a lot of silver coins, which were handed down from my ancestors."

He took out three more pieces from his bag and showed them to Li Mo. They were all antique Yuan Datou pieces.

"Besides Yuan Pier, are there other types of silver coins?"

"Of course, there are many more at home. If you want to take a look, sir, I will take you there. It's not far, only ten minutes' walk."

The fat man looked at Li Mo and then at Chen Xiaoyan beside him.

"Can."

Li Mo agreed, and Chen Xiaoyan naturally nodded.

The fat man led the way diligently, and soon left the temple square and walked into a deep alley. This area is full of private houses in old Shanghai. They are very old, but due to the special geographical location, they cannot be demolished or rebuilt.

.It can be regarded as an old and shabby apartment in Shanghai, but even a house like this is hard to find.

Because the location is so good.

"Here you two, please. The house is a bit old, so it looks quite shabby."

The fat man led the two of them into a small yard, and saw an even fatter old man lying under the awning in the yard. There was a small water basin next to him. The old man used a towel to put water on his body to cool down from time to time.

Chen Xiaoyan frowned slightly, probably hating this scene.

"Grandpa, these two handsome guys and beauties want to see other antique silver coins."

"You bring the box out and let you two pick it out."

"Why."

The little fat man quickly walked into the house, then moved out a thirty centimeter square wooden box, opened the lid and revealed a large box full of silver coins.

"Handsome guy, here are all the silver coins handed down from our ancestors. There are coins from different periods. You can choose and take a look."

Li Mo took a quick look and saw that the silver coins in this box were all real. At least some of the ones he saw were antique silver coins. He grabbed a handful and looked at them one by one. He mainly looked at them.

It's time.

“How did you sell this antique silver dollar?”

"Handsome boy, these silver coins are passed down from our ancestors. They must be genuine. Don't worry. As for the price, it depends on how many coins you want to buy. The more you buy, the greater the price discount."

This probably isn't the first day the little fat guy has been in this business.

At this time, Li Mo looked again with his special pupils, his clairvoyant gaze kept penetrating downwards, and suddenly a light gray halo came out in the milky white halo world, turning into circles of light and spreading out.

"Hey, there are actually silver coins from the late Qing Dynasty. It's a good thing."

Li Mo murmured in his heart, looked away, and asked calmly: "What's the price of one piece, what's the price of five pieces, and what kind of discount can you give for more than ten pieces?"

"Handsome guy, there is the Chenghuang Temple nearby. You can ask the merchants who have antique silver coins. They offer at least 40,000 to 50,000 for one, but I only need 35,000 for it. If you buy more than five, 33,000 for one.

Ten or more than thirty thousand coins."

Chen Xiaoyan was surprised that such a gray old silver dollar was still so valuable.

"Little boss, what you say is a bit contradictory. Since the merchants at the Chenghuang Temple sell one piece for 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, you can definitely sell it to those merchants?"

The little fat man waved his hands and showed a very angry face: "Handsome guy, you don't know that their selling price is high, but the buying price is very cheap. To be honest, they charge these silver coins at very low prices.

Ten thousand yuan a piece, not even a penny more. So we would rather keep it in our hands than sell it to them, and handsome guy, if you really want to buy a few pieces for your collection, buying them from me is the most cost-effective way."

The little fat man revealed a lot of information with his bald mouth. The fat man over there immediately coughed and reminded him of something, but it was too late.

Li Mo looked at the little fat man with a half-smile but said: "Little boss, those unscrupulous merchants are only willing to pay 10,000 yuan for your silver coins, but you sell them to me for more than 30,000 yuan. I feel a little unhappy.

.If you are willing, I will buy ten pieces for fifteen thousand each. Isn’t it more kind than what those unscrupulous merchants want?"

The little fat man had an embarrassed look on his face and glanced at the old man.

"If you buy twenty pieces, you'll get one for fifteen thousand. If it's less, there's no need to talk about it."

The fat old man gave the answer.

Li Mo hesitated and looked at the silver coins in his hand hesitantly. After a while, he wiped the sweat from his face and said, "No problem, but I want to pick out twenty coins in good condition from the box."

"It's definitely possible." When the little fat man heard that Li Mo was so happy, he quickly poured out the water in the basin next to the fat old man, and then put the basin next to the wooden box, "Handsome guy, pick slowly, look.

If you don't win, just put it in this basin and I'll clean it up later."

"Okay, I'll choose it, and my sister will pay you."

Chen Xiaoyan whispered from the side: "Brother, is it too expensive? I still have less than 350,000 yuan left in total?"

"Beauty, the price is not expensive, not expensive at all. You just need to take it back and resell it as you like. It will be easy to make a hundred or eighty thousand."

Chen Xiaoyan snorted softly, seeming to feel sorry for the money.

Li Mo picked slowly, looking at each one. It was a little slow at first, but then he grabbed them one by one and looked at them. When he caught half of the silver coins in the box, he had already picked out twenty silver coins.

.

"No more picking, that's all." Li Mo asked Chen Xiaoyan to pay, "Little boss, the total is 300,000 yuan, do you want to count the amount again?"

"No, no, there are twenty in total, that's right."
