PS: Many things have happened recently. Other updates will be in the evening. Thank you for your support!
Li Du's words made Tao Zhi Bo so excited that he held the ancient coin in his hand and cried.
While crying, he choked and asked, "Really? Is this for real? This copper coin is worth millions? Are you talking about millions? "
Li Du did not dare to confirm. According to his auction experience, if an ancient coin in good condition could be sold for 1.65 million at an auction, then after years of inflation, an ancient coin in poor condition could also be sold for millions.
Zhou Ji helped him in this regard. Zhou Ji said, "Don't be too excited. I have an uncle who likes collecting. I'll ask him for you. I've seen him collect ancient coins."
Zhou Ji made a phone call. After a few polite words, he went straight to the point.
Soon, he covered the phone and said to Tao Zhi Bo, "This coin can really be worth millions. This uncle of mine is very interested. He asked if you want to sell it. If you are willing, he will bring an expert over to take a look. If it's real, he wants to buy it."
Tao Zhi Bo nodded vigorously. "I want to sell it, I want to sell it. Where is your uncle from? I'll go look for him. "
Zhou Ji signaled him not to be anxious. After a while, he told him the location.
After hanging up, he said, "You don't have to show up. You can wait here. My uncle is in Jin Jing City. He will rush over in the afternoon."
Tao Zhi Bo wiped his tears and said excitedly, "Okay, no problem. Thank you, brother. I'll stay here this afternoon. But you look unfamiliar. You are?"
Zhang Xue Ning introduced him again.
The atmosphere was no longer awkward. The group of people talked about Tao Zhi Bo's Da Xia Zhen Xing ancient coin.
An ancient coin worth millions was like winning the lottery for ordinary people. No one would have thought that it would happen to them.
Tao Zhi Bo was still worried as he did not put the money in his pocket. He said, "The experts haven't checked it yet. It might be fake. If it's fake, Old Li, will it be worthless?"
Li Du said, "Don't worry. This is real. I promise you. If it's fake, I'll buy it for 500,000, okay?"
Tao Zhi Bo shook his head and said, "No, how can I sell it to you if it's fake? Sigh, I hope it's real. It's been two to three years, and my family has been unlucky. I hope we can get lucky this time."
Li Du patted him on the shoulder and said, "Trust me, this is not fake."
"Why are you so sure?" Du Zheng Nan asked curiously.
Li Du smiled and said, "Because I have a good eye. Anyway, believe me, I can confirm for Old Devil that this thing is definitely real."
"Old monster, where did you get this thing?"
"That's right. Over a million. F * ck, this old monster is going to be rich."
"Say, say, say, let us be envious, jealous, and hateful."
Yao Zhi Bo was not sure himself. He frowned and said, "I've had this copper coin since I was young. When I was young, my body was weak, and I always had a fever. I couldn't even get an injection to see a doctor."
"Later, my grandmother guessed that I might be haunted by something foul. My parents found a fortune-teller to do a reading for me. The fortune-teller gave me this copper coin and said that if I tied it to my body, I would definitely be able to turn misfortune into fortune."
Du Hang exclaimed, "Did you meet an expert?"
Yao Zhi Bo habitually smiled bitterly and said, "Expert my foot. Anyway, we used to think that he was a scammer. After wearing this ancient coin, I still fall sick very easily. At that time, the fortune-teller did not give us this coin, but asked for 100 dollars."
The 100 dollars he had when he was young and the 100 dollars now were not the same thing. At that time, they had lived in a village, and his parents could only earn 80 to 100 dollars a month.
Li Du signaled for everyone to stop chatting. He called for the waiter to serve the dishes and the group of people started eating in a lively manner.
The meal lasted from 11: 30 to 2: 00. According to their previous habits, they would have left long ago. Now, they gathered together and waited for the person that Zhou Ji had found to come and check the ancient coin.
They waited until 4: 00 before the cultural relic collector that Zhou Ji had contacted arrived.
Li Du wanted to leave, but Yao Zhi Bo, who had never experienced such a situation before, was a little worried and begged him to stay and help.
As such, he could only accompany Yao Zhi Bo to trade the ancient coin.
Not only did he appear, but he also brought along Godzilla and Big Quinn. The two of them acted as bodyguards and boosted their prestige so that they would have more confidence when negotiating the price later.
The collector that Zhou Ji had introduced was called Zheng Xilin. He was also a rather famous business owner in their province. He was engaged in real estate development and drove a Mercedes-Benz S600.
Both parties met in a teahouse. Zheng Xilin had also brought along bodyguards. The real estate industry that he was engaged in was more chaotic, so it was understandable that he had brought along bodyguards for safety reasons.
Li Du had achieved his goal. Godzilla and Big Quinn acted like professional bodyguards. There were already very few people in the country who could afford to hire foreign bodyguards. Furthermore, it was even rarer to hire two super burly men like them.
After meeting in the private room, Yao Zhi Bo took out the ancient coin and handed it to Zheng Xilin. Then, he waited anxiously for Zheng Xilin's judgment.
Zheng Xilin had brought along two old men. They used a magnifying glass to examine the coin carefully before cleaning it with cleaning fluid. Then, they placed it in front of a high-definition photo of the ancient coin for comparison.
The cleaning fluid used to clean the ancient coin was not thrown away. Instead, it was placed into a small machine for inspection.
The three of them studied the ancient coin for half an hour. Zheng Xilin took off his glasses and said, "Congratulations. This is a Da Xia Zhen Xing. Are you willing to sell it?"
An expert sighed. "Hidden treasures are among the people. Hidden treasures are among the people. Looks like we have to search among the people if we want to find treasures."
Hearing this, Yao Zhi Bo was so emotional that he started crying again.
Li Du gestured for him to wash his face. He did not understand how his old classmate, who had been a tough guy in high school, had turned into a crybaby now.
They started to negotiate the price, with Zhou Ji helping to mediate.
Li Du had also learned quite a few bargaining skills from Hans. However, when faced with a sly old fox like Zheng Xilin, he was at a disadvantage and his price was being suppressed.
Both parties had a huge disagreement. He wanted 1.5 million, while Zheng Xilin only offered 500,000. Eventually, he slowly increased the price to 780,000 and then refused to increase it any further.
Yao Zhi Bo was also very satisfied with the price of 780,000 and gave Li Du a look to indicate that it was acceptable.
Zheng Xilin noticed this and the smile on his face became even wider.
"780,000 is not a small amount. Young man, one has to learn to be satisfied." He said slowly, "This ancient coin is indeed rare, but its quality is too poor. If you meet someone who is more particular about it, they will not collect it."
He was talking to Yao Zhi Bo because he knew that Yao Zhi Bo was the owner.
Yao Zhi Bo wanted to say something but hesitated. Li Du stopped him and said, "Leave it to me, old devil. 780,000 is just a joke. If it is less than 1.1 million, no one can take this ancient coin."
Zheng Xilin shook his head and laughed. "Young people nowadays, do you think money is toilet paper? Do you think you can get a lot of it just like that? 780,000 yuan is enough to exchange for two big houses in your county town, right? "
