Chapter 1876 The Luck of Picking up the Leak

"Weidong, let's go!"

Yin Jun was very satisfied with buying such a few pieces of Yuan Datou. He called Li Weidong and wanted to leave.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think of these copper coins I chose?" Li Weidong held a dozen copper coins in his hand and showed them to Yin Jun.

Yin Jun glanced at it, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't answer him. He turned to the vendor and said, "Boss, come and settle the accounts."

"What kind of account is this? You bought so many things, just treat these as my gifts to you!" The vendor raised his head and waved his hand in a very grand manner.

This is also nonsense.

What Li Weidong picked were all copper coins, all of which were "one cent per cent". A dozen or so coins were just over one yuan, so what did they count?

It's better to give it away and get a favor.

Maybe next time the young master will remember him and come to visit again?

Yin Jun naturally knew what he was thinking, "Thanks!"

"You're welcome! Come back when you have time. I usually set up a stall here! I can always have good stuff!" the vendor said with a shy smile.

"good!"

The young man smiled slightly, turned and left.

Seeing him looking so happy, I really don’t know who took advantage!

There happened to be a small teahouse here, so Yin Jun walked in with Lizhi and Li Weidong and ordered a pot of Longjing tea.

This season happens to be two weeks before the Longjing tea comes out before the rain. The Longjing tea is naturally from last year, and not necessarily from Longjing Village.

The Chinese people are very cunning and honest. As early as more than ten years ago, the Longjing tea sold to Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia had been mixed with tea from many surrounding counties.

If you are not particularly familiar with it, you usually won't be able to tell the difference.

Then the export company also mixes it in to sell it, so no one will notice it.

That is to say, 10 years later, private transactions were gradually liberalized. Rich people from Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia went to Longjing Village to buy completely authentic tea.

The price of Longjing tea started to rise from that time.

Nowadays, Shanghai and Hainan are not far from Lin'an. Longjing tea sold domestically is not expensive. A pot of tea only costs 1 yuan, and it also comes with a plate of melon seeds.

There are a lot of people in the teahouse at this location, and many of them are holding antiques or calligraphy and paintings there to talk or do business.

Therefore, it was not out of the ordinary for Yin Jun and his entourage, including the three bodyguards who followed them, to order a pot of Longjing tea and drink it.

"Brother-in-law, are the 7 Yuan Datou coins you bought valuable? They actually cost 200 US dollars?" Li Weidong casually threw his coins aside and began to look at the 7 coins that Yin Jun got back from Jing Hong. silver.

Yin Jun put them out one by one: "Thirty years later, this Yuan Datou commemorative coin of Guangbian'er, the founding of the People's Republic of China, is worth 50,000 in terms of quality; these two Hongxian Yuan Feilong Gaoying coins are in better quality. It’s better, about 200,000 pieces; the three-year Chinese yuan signed editions of these two countries are slightly different, and it’s probably only 300,000 pieces.”

Having said this, Yin Jun stopped and took a sip of tea.

Li Weidong's eyes almost popped out of his head.

Even Lizhi was extremely surprised. According to Yin Jun, such 5 silver coins cost 1.05 million yuan, which is equivalent to 2.1 million Hong Kong dollars. It is enough to buy a smaller villa on Kadoorie Road in Hong Kong.

But Yin Jun only spent 200 US dollars!

"Do you think it's amazing?" Yin Jun put down the teacup and picked up the remaining two Yuan Datou coins in his hand, "The most expensive ones are still these two!"

"ah!?"

"Although this piece of National Three-year One-Yuan signed plate is not very conspicuous now and has some flaws, the price in 30 years will be at least 1 million!" Yin Jun said eloquently, "This last piece, Minhe Memorial The one-yuan signed version of the coin was in very good condition and the handwriting was very clear. He sold it for the most expensive price of 500 yuan! But 30 years later when it was sold at any auction, the price was 1.5 million yuan, no more!"

The two siblings beside him almost didn't scream in surprise.

Li Weidong quickly covered his mouth to avoid screaming.

It's so exciting and scary! !

How could such a big treasure be picked up in such a random stall?

After all, what you bought for 200 US dollars is Yuan Datou worth 3.55 million yuan!

Isn’t this a huge profit?

With these 7 yuan coins, you don’t have to do anything. As long as you wait 30 years, you will have 3.55 million! !

Seeing their surprised and imaginative expressions, Yin Jun couldn't help but feel amused.

There was no way he could tell them that in 30 years, a mere 3.55 million yuan would not even be able to buy a 50-square-meter house in these old urban areas of Shanghai.

Now, for a 50-square-meter house built through crowdfunding in the No. 2 Food Factory, the workers’ funds collected are only 6,000 yuan, which is only five times the amount of 200 US dollars.

Calculated in this way, in fact, the price increase in 30 years is not that big in terms of purchasing power value.

From this we can also see how alarming China’s currency depreciation and inflation are.

It’s no wonder that now 100 yuan a month can support a couple of children. In 30 years’ time, in places like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, 500,000 yuan a year will only be enough for food, clothing and housing.

Ignoring the two siblings who were still in shock, Yin Jun pushed the seven silver coins to Lizhi's side, "Zhizhi, take them back to the third uncle and the third aunt, and tell them that this is what we gave to Xiu." It’s beautiful. If you want to use it, you must wait until 30 years before selling it.”

"Hmm~~"

Lizhi put it away easily.

More than 3 million yuan is 7 million Hong Kong dollars, but to her, it is just the dividend from the movie "The King of Flowers" and it is nothing.

Moreover, Yin Jun gave a gift to his little cousin. This was also a sign of family affection. He was too late to be happy.

Seeing Li Weidong's envious look, Yin Jun pointed to the copper coins he placed casually on the table and said, "Show me the third coin from the left."

Li Weidong twisted it casually, handed it over, and said expectantly: "Brother-in-law, did I pick it up too?"

Yin Jun did not answer, but slowly wiped the rusty surface of the copper coin with a prepared piece of cotton cloth.

After a while, a layer of patina rubbed off on it, making the writing a little clearer.

After looking at the front and back carefully against the light, and finally weighing the weight in his hand, Yin Jun put it down.

When Li Weidong saw Yin Jun being so serious, he was so nervous that he stopped breathing, for fear of affecting Yin Jun.

"Brother-in-law..." It wasn't until Yin Jun put down the copper coin that he asked again eagerly.

"If this coin is real, you will be very lucky." Yin Jun replied with a relaxed expression.

"Ah?" Li Weidong perked up, "Can it be worth 1 million in 30 years?"

Yin Jun shook his head.

Li Weidong felt a little discouraged, "What about 500,000?"

"It's not about money." Yin Jun waved his hand and lowered his voice, "If it is true, it is a national treasure, a national first-class cultural relic! The kind that is prohibited from going abroad!"

"oh!!"

Li Weidong couldn't help but exclaimed, but immediately covered his mouth, full of disbelief, but looking at the copper coins with extremely eager eyes.

"Brother Jun, what kind of copper coin is this? How can it be so precious?" Lizhi didn't know much about coins, so she wasn't very curious.

"To be precise, it is not a copper coin, but an alloy coin mixed with many types of metals." Yin Jun said, "Neither the person who discovered this coin nor the person who sold it are real experts, so they treated it as an ordinary coin." bronze coin, and because it was not in good condition, I just ignored it. When I looked at it before, I also saw the word "Xuanbao", so I thought it was interesting.

As a result, I wiped it carefully and looked at it again. It was indeed a treasure I had seen before... There are two coins just like this in the National Museum! It's just that these coins have not been put out for the public to appreciate, so many people don't know there is this treasure! "

"Oh, you've been talking about it for so long, what exactly is it~~" Lizhi coquettishly pulled Yin Jun's arm and shook it.

With Li Mei leaning against Yin Jun and rocking like this, the boy naturally felt the incomparable uprightness of the pair of mountains. With such a rich capital, it is normal for him to be able to turn all living beings upside down.

After a slight cough, Yin Jun said: "Its name is 'Xantong Xuanbao'. It is a coin of the Tang Dynasty and is also known as the 'Tangquan No. 1 treasure'. Because it is made of alloy, its quality is very high." Well, it's just that after the sample coins were minted at that time, they were not issued and circulated. Therefore, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the maximum number of coins circulating in the world has not exceeded 100.

It has been treasured by antique collectors in all dynasties. As collectors from generation to generation enter tombs, fewer and fewer of them remain in the world. Basically, in these years, except for the two in the National Museum, The third one never appeared.

But why should I worry that it’s not true? Because after the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty began to imitate Xiantong Xuanbao in large quantities, and some people also did this in the Ming Dynasty! There are many such fake Xiantong Xuanbao appearing on the market in modern times! If it's fake, then its value is only a few hundred or thousands at most, so it's not such a big deal! "

"Then how to verify it?" Li Weidong said with a red face.

"I'll show it to the experts from the Forbidden City." Yin Jun muttered, "If it's true, don't even think about Weidong. It can only be owned by the state. And I will give you 100 Ten thousand yuan, in exchange, do you agree?"

"One...one million!?" Li Weidong couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and slapped himself, for fear that he was dreaming.

"Yes!" Yin Jun nodded, "If it's true!"

"Okay! Brother-in-law, take it and give me the news quickly!" Li Weidong said urgently, "God bless me, I hope this is true! Then I will make a fortune!!"

Seeing his money-obsessed look, Lizhi smiled unconsciously.

This cousin is also stupid. He dares to give such a valuable thing to others for appraisal.

But then I thought about it, Yin Jun is the richest man in the world and his brother-in-law, how could he lie to him about this matter?

Li Weidong didn't know anyone from the Forbidden City. If he didn't trust Yin Jun, how could he still dare to trust those antique dealers?
