Chapter 944 A Box of Silver Dollars
The beautiful bracelet that Chen Xiaoyan mentioned is very fancy, each bead shows bright and different texture colors, and there are micro-carvings on the surface, which are carved with various small animals.
Bracelets like this do look good, at least for girls. Just as she was about to reach out to touch her, Li Mo patted her arm lightly and said, "Let's go."
"What's wrong bro?"
Walking out of two booths, Li Mocai whispered, "They are all chemical plastics. Apart from being good-looking, they are also harmful to the human body."
Chen Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue: "I thought it was a natural stone."
Li Mo has been scanning the various stalls. He has not been to the domestic antique market for a long time, and he feels that it is difficult to encounter any good things.
I found nothing good at the end of the corridor that can be shaded. This is the square in front of the Temple of the City God. If you want to shop for treasures, you can only go to the Antique Street, but there is no chance to go there by yourself.
"Brother, where are we going now?" Chen Xiaoyan looked around, "It's so lively here."
Before Li Mo could answer, he saw a chubby young man walking towards him. The glasses lenses on his face were very thick, and his eyes should be very short-sighted.
The reason why I look at him more often is because he is carrying a small black bag, and his right hand is stuffed into the bag as if he is holding something, and he is selling something to tourists while walking. The key is that the objects he sells are all women. The fat man approached, and seeing Chen Xiaoyan, you stepped forward cheerfully and whispered, "Beauty, are you interested in antique silver dollars? It's definitely the real thing, you can take a look first."
The fat man took out his right hand from the bag, and spread out his palm to reveal a grayish Yuan Datou. Chen Xiaoyan leaned towards Li Mo subconsciously, staring at him vigilantly.
"You only have one in your hand?"
Li Mo asked rather interestedly, the silver dollar in the fat man's hand was indeed the silver dollar issued by Yuan Shikai in the Republic of China. But it is also Yuan Datou, because of the different casting places and batches, the quantity is different, making some Yuan Datou quite valuable, while others are just so-so.
The fat man has already asked more than 30 people, and only Li Mo showed interest, and quickly said with a bright smile: "Yes, I still have a lot of silver dollars, which are all passed 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.
"Besides Yuan Wharf, are there other types of silver dollars?"
"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, and it only takes ten minutes to walk."
The fat man looked at Li Mo, and then at Chen Xiaoyan beside him.
"Can."
Li Mo agreed, and Chen Xiaoyan naturally nodded too.
The fat man led the way attentively, and soon left the square in front of the temple, and walked into a deep alley. This area is full of old Shanghai houses, which have been around for a long time, but because of the special location, they cannot be demolished or rebuilt. . It can be regarded as an old and dilapidated small house in the Shanghai area, but even such a house is hard to find.
Because the location is so good.
"This way, please, the house is a bit old, so it looks quite dilapidated."
The fat man led the two into a small yard, and saw a fatter old man lying under the awning in the yard, next to a small water basin, and the old man used a towel to pour water on his body to cool down from time to time.
Chen Xiaoyan frowned slightly, probably hating this scene a bit.
"Grandpa, these two handsome men and beauties want to see other antique silver dollars."
"You take out the box and let the two pick it."
"Why."
The little fat man hurried into the house, and then moved out a 30 cm square wooden box, opened the lid to reveal a large box full of silver dollars.
"Handsome guy, all the silver dollars passed down from our ancestors are here. There are different periods. You can choose and see."
Li Mo took a look, I'll go, the silver dollars in this box are all real, at least some of the above are antique silver dollars. He grabbed a handful and looked at them one by one. He mainly looked at the time.
"How is this antique silver dollar sold?"
"Handsome guy, these silver dollars are inherited from our ancestors. They must be genuine. You can rest assured. As for the price, it depends on how many coins you want to buy. The more you buy, the greater the price discount."
It's not the first day for the little fat man to do this business.
At this time, Li Mo looked again with his different pupils, and his perspective gaze continued to penetrate downwards. Suddenly, a light gray halo was transmitted through the milky white halo world, turning into a circle of light and spreading out.
"Hey, there are still silver dollars 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 for one piece, what's the price for five pieces, and how much discount can you give for more than ten pieces?"
"Handsome guy, the Town God's Temple is nearby. You can ask the merchants who have antique silver coins. They bid at least 40,000 to 50,000 for one piece, but I only need 35,000 here. If you buy more than five pieces, you can get 30,000. More than ten pieces and thirty-one pieces."
Chen Xiaoyan's eyes showed surprise, such a gray old silver dollar is still so valuable.
"Boss, what you said is a bit contradictory. Since the merchants at the Town God's Temple sell for 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, can you sell them to those merchants?"
The little fat man waved his hand, showing a very angry face: "Handsome guy, you don't know, their selling price is high, but the buying price is very cheap. To be honest, they charge these silver dollars, and the price is very low. It’s 10,000 yuan a piece, not even a penny more. So we’d 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, it’s the most cost-effective to buy from me.”
The little fat man revealed a lot of information with a bald mouth, and the fat man over there immediately coughed to remind him something, but it was too late.
Li Mo looked at the little fat man with a half-smile and said: "Little boss, those unscrupulous merchants are only willing to bid 10,000 yuan a piece for your silver dollars, but you sell it to me for more than 30,000 yuan. I feel a little upset. .If you want, I'll buy ten pieces for 15,000 pieces, which is more generous than those unscrupulous merchants, right?"
The little fat man looked embarrassed and glanced at the old man.
"If you buy 20 pieces, you will get 15,000. If there is less, there is nothing to talk about."
The fat old man gave the answer.
Li Mo hesitated, looked at the silver dollar in his hand hesitantly, wiped the sweat off his face after a while and said, "No problem, but I want to pick twenty coins in the box that are not bad."
"It's definitely possible." Hearing that Li Mo was so straightforward, the little fat man 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, take your time and see If you don’t hit it, just put it in this basin, and I’ll clean it up later.”
"Okay, I've made my choice, 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 with me?"
"Beauty, this price is not expensive, not expensive at all. You just need to take it back and resell it casually. It's easy to make a hundred and eighty thousand."
Chen Xiaoyan snorted softly, as if she felt sorry for Qian.
Li Mo slowly selected, looking at each one. It was a bit slow at first, but then he picked up one by one and looked at it. When he grabbed half of the silver dollars in the box, he had already picked out twenty silver dollars.
"Don't choose, just these." Li Mo asked Chen Xiaoyan to pay, "Little boss, it's a total of 300,000 yuan, do you want to count the amount again?"
"No, no, there are twenty pieces in total, that's right."
The little fat man kept staring at the mobile phone that Chen Xiaoyan took out with great difficulty, wishing that the 300,000 yuan would be credited to his account immediately.
