Chapter 1148.
Provincial City, City God Temple Backstreet.
It was the weekend, and as one of the busiest commercial pedestrian streets in the provincial city, the City God Temple Backstreet was seeing its best business.
The ancient colored street was crowded with people, bustling and rubbing shoulders, among which there were many tourists.
Wang Duan carried a cowhide briefcase and mingled among the crowd.
An hour ago, he spent tens of thousands of dollars in Yintai City, changed himself into a brand new outfit, added a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses, the whole person’s temperament and image were different.
Halfway down the back street of the City God Temple, Wang Duan turned into a nearby alley.
The alley was very short, and after passing it was another ancient street.
But this street is a lot less tourists and pedestrians, and the stores along the street are not selling any tourist souvenirs and souvenirs, but antiques and paintings and porcelain and other antiques.
Here is the provincial city’s famous antique street, similar to the capital’s Panjiayuan, it is said that there is a regular ghost market.
Wang Dust had come here once in his previous life, not wanting to buy antiques or anything, just out of curiosity to turn down.
Today, he came over, of course, he intends to dig up the silver dollars.
What Wang Dust wanted to do next required a sum of money.
He wasn’t familiar with the situation here either, so he directly found a nice looking antique store and walked in.
The store owner, a big fat man, was sitting behind the counter drinking tea, and when he saw Wang Chuan, who had just come in, he got up and asked with a smile, “This gentleman, may I ask what you need?”
If Wang Chuan was still in his original attire, the shopkeeper probably wouldn’t even bother to lift his eyes.
But after some “packaging”, coupled with the aura he showed, the knowledgeable shopkeeper didn’t dare to underestimate him.
His attitude was particularly enthusiastic.
Wang Chen nodded slightly and asked bluntly, “Boss, do you accept silver dollars here?”
The shopkeeper’s eyes instantly lit up, and he hurriedly responded, “Yes, of course I do!”
Wang Chen immediately felt out a silver dollar from his pocket and placed it on top of the counter, “Let’s see how much this is worth.”
“Okay, I’ll take a look first.”
The fat shopkeeper picked up the silver dollar and said after carefully inspecting it, “Your silver dollar is of average color, but the thing is real, only this kind of silver dollar has a high survival quantity, so the price is not very high.”
“If I collect here, I can give you fifteen thousand.”
Wang Dust laughed, took back his silver dollar and twisted his head and left.
The fat shopkeeper stomped his feet anxiously, “Ahhh, the price can be negotiated, don’t you go!”
However, Wang Chen’s figure had already disappeared in the doorway.
Wang Dust certainly had a reason for not dumping the other party.
First of all, the batch of silver dollars he got was not of a uniform kind, both products minted at the end of the Qing Dynasty and things from the early days of the Republic of China, including a number of imported items.
But what Wang Chen could be sure of was that all the silver dollars were genuine, and a few of them belonged to rare items.
Because they were all placed in the booth of the provincial museum!
In addition even if you haven’t eaten pork, you’ve seen a pig run, in the case of determining that it’s genuine, it’s a simple matter to go online and search for the price of the same piece.
Wang Dust just took out a piece simply to test the store owner’s character.
As a result, the other side when he is a white man, worth thousands of things actually open price of fifteen thousand, and also said that the color is general.
Wang dust is not accustomed to each other’s problems!
However, the antique store ate is this kind of low buy high sale, Wang dust asked three in a row, every family is almost the same.
As if these shopkeepers were born of a mother!
As the saying goes, no businessman is an adulterer, for such a situation, Wang Dust did not get angry and annoyed, nor did he give up.
He stepped into an antique store called “Qibaozhai”.
The owner of this store is a white-haired old man, wearing a set of plain mountain suit, but also with a pair of old glasses, looks like an elegant private school old gentleman.
In addition to the old man, there were two middle-aged men and a pretty woman sitting inside.
They were sipping tea and chatting around the tea table, talking and laughing.
Wang Dust hesitated for a moment.
“This young friend, may I ask what I can do for you?”
The white-haired old man who was taking inventory looked up and looked at Wang Dust with a warm smile.
Wang Dust thought for a moment, but still took out silver dollars and handed them to the other party, “Do you accept silver dollars here?”
“Collected.”
The old man took the silver dollar appreciated for a moment, nodded and said, “You this silver dollar is two-six years Beiyanglong, color is very good, belongs to the boutique, the small store acquisition, you can give you the price of eight thousand five hundred yuan.”
Wang Dust felt that he was looking in the right place.
Although the opening price of this store owner, than the price he checked online is a little lower, but completely belongs to the normal range.
After all, when people opened a store for business, their daily expenses were fixed, and they definitely had to earn some.
“Can.”
Wang Dust was also too lazy to talk more nonsense, and simply opened the briefcase he was carrying and took out the silver dollars stored inside.
“These, please give an estimate as well.”
The old man was a bit confused.
Because the silver dollars that Wang Dust pulled out were not just one or two, but a lot of them, the bathroom hurriedly took the tray from the side: “Put it here, put it all here!”
Wang Dust took out a full seventy silver dollars, and each one was in very good condition.
Placing them on the tray gave a pleasing feeling to the eyes.
These silver dollars were carefully selected by Wang Dust, and only accounted for a small portion of what he got.
The most precious few were not among them.
But taking out so many silver dollars drew the attention of the three tea drinkers.
One of them laughed and said, “Little brother, you’ve got quite a lot of goods, and you’ve pulled out your family’s old money, right?”
Wang Chen ignored the other’s temptation and didn’t even bother to glance up.
This middle-aged man was a bit embarrassed, and coughed twice with his fist against his mouth, and laughed twice.
The old man appraised all the silver dollars, and took an antique-grade abacus and rattled it some more, and finally said, “Little friend, how about a total of six hundred and eighty thousand dollars if all these silver dollars of yours are offered to the small store?”
Wang Dust pondered briefly, nodded and replied, “Yes, but I want cash.”
The other party obviously left room for a counter-offer, if he bargained, adding a few more tens of thousands up would certainly not be a problem.
But where did Wang Dust care about this small amount of money!
The old man smiled, “No problem, please wait.”
In antique stores like his, large amounts of cash were usually always available, as some customers only traded in cash.
This shopkeeper quickly brought up a heavy black plastic bag for Wang Duan.
It was filled with bundles of large bills.
The old man said, “You count them.”
“No need.”
Wang Dust took the plastic bag and walked straight away, leaving behind several middle-aged men who looked at each other in disbelief.
The middle-aged man from earlier snorted, “Young people nowadays ah ……”
He shook his head, probably thinking that Wang Dust was one of those losers who had stolen a family heirloom with a disdainful look on his face.
On the other hand, the shopkeeper old man smiled and stroked his beard without saying anything.
