Chapter 653 Four Coins

Fang Yi's antique shop is connected by two connected shops. In front is a counter selling antiques and an antique shelf, and behind is a reception room, which is specially used to receive major customers.

Although the reception room is not big, with only three sofas and a coffee table, it is very elegantly arranged. The surroundings are made of antiques as partitions, and the shelves are filled with antiques of various colors, ranging from ceramics to bronzes, making them look very stylish.

Of course, the antiques on these antique shelves are all imitations. Unless Man Jun’s brain is kicked by a donkey, he will only put genuine products here. You must know that even the century-old shops in Beijing will not put genuine products on the counter.

"Brother Man, is it convenient to come in?" Fang Yi knocked on the door of the compartment several times.

"Fang Yi? Why are you here?" The door opened from the inside. Man Jun looked at Fang Yi with a look of surprise and said, "It's so crowded outside, how did you come here?"

"You said everything, so of course I squeezed over..." Fang Yi smiled when he heard the Yan, but his eyes looked at the person sitting on the sofa inside.

The man looked thirty-seven or eight years old, with a very thin figure, a sharp mouth and a sunken cheek, and his clothes were also very ordinary. Apart from his straight eyes, he was a very inconspicuous character who was thrown into the crowd.

"Come on, Fang Yi, I'll introduce it to you..."

Man Jun pointed to the man on the sofa and said, "This is Hou Jingchen, Boss Hou. He usually works in Sichuan Province. Today, he is taking care of our business. Boss Hou, his name is Fang Yi, and he is a partner of my store..."

"This man's surname is very consistent with his appearance..."

Hearing Man Jun's introduction, Fang Yi couldn't help laughing, but Fang Yi did not look down on this person at all, because judging from the other party's appearance, this Boss Hou is definitely not a person who is easy to follow.

People with a sharp mouth and a slump in their faces, both men and women, are people who pursue fame and fortune. They do things in a cunning and ruthless manner, scheming, and never consider the interests and influences of others. All the ideas in their heads are based on themselves as the center of the circle.

Moreover, such people can do anything to achieve their goals and even use any means to sell their families. Even if they do not hesitate to contact such people, they may even be sold one day without even knowing that.

"So it's Boss Fang, he is really young and promising..."

When Hou Jingchen, who had a look of vigilance on his face when he saw Fang Yi coming in, stood up and shook hands with Fang Yi, his face also eased. He was also a person from the antique business, so he naturally knew Fang Yi's reputation recently, but he didn't expect Fang Yi to be so young.

"Boss Hou has been awarded..." Fang Yi smiled and bowed, looked at the other party, and said, "Boss Hou is going to check the goods or ship the goods today?"

"Fang Yi, you came just right. I'm a little confused about what Boss Hou has taken..." Man Jun said, "Boss Hou, Fang Yi is a disciple of Teacher Yu. How good is your thing to let him take your palms?"

Fang Yi's arrival was like timely rain for Man Jun, because he had just looked at the objects that Hou Jingchen brought for a long time, but he could not see the Mao, You, Zi and Wu coming. Man Jun had clearly seen the contempt look on Hou Jingchen's face.

"I've heard of this, Boss Fang, don't you know that you have any research on ancient coins?"

After hearing Man Jun's words, Hou Jingchen did not take out the things, but asked Fang Yi, with a somewhat sophisticated tone in his words. In his opinion, Man Jun, who is a little famous in the antiques business, did not see his own objects, and Fang Yi, a young man, may not be able to see them even more.

"I don't dare to take it as a researcher, I know a little about the Quanjie..." Fang Yi laughed when he heard this. He only got three Western King reward money in Jinshengtao not long ago. He didn't expect to return to Jinling and meet someone selling ancient coins. Could it be that he has been lucky during this period?

"Okay, those who can speak the word "quanjie" are fellow practitioners!"

People in the industry speak clearly at a glance. As the saying goes, "There are lines that are separated by mountains." They are not people who know about the collection of ancient coins. I am afraid they can't even understand what the meaning of the Spring Realm means. When Fang Yi heard these two words, Hou Jingchen's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Boss Fang, look at this object, may you be interested?" Hou Jingchen sat back on the sofa as he said, and opened a tray covered with red cloth on the coffee table in front of him. In the middle of the tray was placed a rusty coin.

"Okay, then I'll be ugly..." Fang Yi was not polite either. He sat on the sofa and put on a pair of white gloves placed there, and took up a coin from the tray.

"Well? This... is this the Western King rewarding merit?"

Fang Yi had such a vision. Although the rust on the coins almost covered all the words, Fang Yi still recognized the origin of the coins in his hand at a glance from the direction of the revealed gesture.

More importantly, at this time, there were three Western King reward money in Fang Yi's pocket. After playing with this period of time, Fang Yi knew this coin well. As soon as he got started, he knew that the Western King reward money on his fingertips was undoubtedly the authentic one.

This discovery made Fang Yi's face look a little strange. The Western King's Honor of Rewards, which appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, has always been considered an isolated product of the Spring Realm. However, Fang Yi encountered three or four consecutive numbers in the past half month, which also made Fang Yi feel that the Western King's Honor of Rewards was a bit unworthy of his reputation.

"Mr. Fang, you have such a good eye!"

Hou Jingchen, who was sitting opposite Fang Yi, obviously did not expect that Fang Yi could see the coin so easily, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes. You know, Man Jun just looked at it with a magnifying glass for a long time, but he could not see that it was the Western King's reward money.

"Is the Western King rewarding merits Zhang Xianzhong's money for the Western King rewarding merits?" Hearing the conversation between Fang Yi and Hou Jingchen, Man Jun couldn't help but exclaim. Although his level of identification of the coins was not very good, he had heard of the title of the Western King rewarding merits, the great treasure of the Spring Realm.

"That's right, it's the Western King's reward for merit!" Hou Jingchen nodded and said, "Since Boss Fang is an expert, I won't talk nonsense. I wonder if you are interested in this money?"

"I'm interested, so interested!"

Before Fang Yi could speak, Man Jun started yelling. He never expected that this seemingly inconspicuous coin was actually the only one in the Quanjie Western King's Reward. Even if the quality of the money was a little different, Man Jun was very excited, and the rust spots on the surface of the Western King's Reward were not impossible to remove.

"Boss Hou, how much do you want to pay for this money?" Man Jun didn't mean to ask Fang Yi, and asked for the price directly.

The collection of ancient coins is different from other objects. If you can own an object of fifty treasures, you will definitely become famous in the spring world. If there is news of the Western King's reward of merits in his hands, I am afraid that coin collectors across the country will come to hear about it.

"Two hundred thousand!"

Hou Jingchen stretched out two fingers, looked at Man Jun's eyes and said, "Boss Man, you are also a knowledgeable person. As long as this money is repaired, it is worth at least one million yuan. The price I want is not high..."

"The price is not high, but it is hard to say what level it can be repaired..."

After hearing the other party's offer, Man Jun hesitated a little. The collection of ancient coins usually has four views, and these four views can often determine the value of the coins.

First, we naturally look at the historical value of the coins. Rare ancient coins are real objects of currency history and are also witnesses of history. Therefore, before collecting them, we must first clarify the status of coins in history and some special historical significance.

The second thing is to look at the issuance of ancient coins. Some coins minted during short-lived dynasties or peasant uprisings have been short in circulation and small in circulation, and most of them are rare treasures to be collected today. However, coins from dynasties such as Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties have large circulations and many in the world, so their value will be greatly reduced.

To measure the value of ancient coins, we also need to look at the culture of coins. Some categories that have not been passed down from generation to generation are mainly favored because of their cultural taste and high artistic value. For example, the Jiudie seal script "Quan Style Tongbao" cast during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty is the earliest art character in China and is a collection of treasures.

The most important thing among the four views is the fourth view, that is, the quality of the coins. Regardless of whether the coins are rare or not, any coin has blurred surfaces, defective outlines, severe rust, and poorer ones have to discount their value. You must know that even the words of coins cannot be clearly seen, so how can you collect them?

So after hearing Hou Jingchen's offer, Man Jun would be so hesitant because the quality of this coin was really bad. If it could not be repaired, no one would be willing to take over even 200,000 yuan.

"If I repair it myself, it will be more than this price..." Hou Jingchen took back the reward of the Western King in Fang Yi's hand and said, "Boss Man, this is our first time dealing with it. If you don't want it, I will take the things back."

"This..." Man Jun looked at Fang Yi with a confused look on his face, his eyes full of sorrow. He said that this thing was something you could tell me, and if you want to buy it, you would say something.

"Boss Hou, let's consider it..." Fang Yi winked at Man Jun and said, "I want to ask the teacher to see how likely this Western King's reward is to repair it, and then let's talk about it?"

"What Fang Yi said makes sense. Boss Hou, otherwise you will live in first, and the expenses for food and drink will be considered as full of someone else's expenses. What do you think?"

After hearing Fang Yi's words, Man Jun nodded quickly. To be honest, although the Western King's reputation was not very good, if he made a mistake, Man Jun was afraid that he would regret it in the future, because such an isolated product was really something that could not be found.

"Okay, then I'll stay in Jinling for another three days..." Hou Jingchen thought for a while and said, "If Boss Man is still unable to make up his mind, let's just treat it as a friend..."

"Boss Hou said that the business is unsuccessful and righteous. I will serve as a partner in the evening, which is a welcome to Boss Hou..."

Man Jun was overjoyed when he heard this. His level of identifying cultural relics was not very good, but he was very flexible in doing business. He said immediately, "I will open a room for Boss Hou in Jinling Hotel. You can just go there and report your name and get the room card later. You will be there to welcome Boss Hou to the evening!"

"Boss Man, you are polite, then Hou will be disrespectful!"

Hou Jingchen was still very satisfied with Man Jun’s arrangement. Although he did not need the money to stay in a hotel, Man Jun did this to give him face, and it also means that the other party attaches great importance to it, so the possibility of a deal is still very high. (To be continued.).
