I was blown away by the longing for the live broadcast of the sea

Chapter 260 Going to the City to Sell Silver Ingots
The two waited for less than 10 minutes when a knock on the door suddenly rang.

Then, the door of the box was opened, and there was a 70-year-old man with half white and half black hair in Tang suit standing at the door.

He was full of vigor, his eyes were piercing, and his face was very ruddy. One could tell at a glance that he was a rich man who paid great attention to health preservation.

Beside the old man in Tang suit, there was a middle-aged man in black who was about 50 or [-] years old.

"Ah Fu, just wait outside." The old man in Tang suit didn't go in directly, but turned his head and gave instructions to the middle-aged man in black beside him.

"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded.

Then, the old man in Tang suit walked in.

"Grandpa, you are late!"

At this time, Xia Qingcheng got up immediately, walked to the old man in Tang suit with a smile, and naturally took the old man's arm.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, Grandpa has something to do just now, so it was delayed for a while."

The old man said something with a smile, and then looked at Lin Yang.

He took a look at Lin Yang, and then asked with a smile, "Qingcheng, this is the little friend Lin you mentioned, right?"

"Yes, Grandpa, he is Lin Yang."

Xia Qingcheng smiled sweetly, introduced Lin Yang to her grandfather, and then introduced to Lin Yang: "Brother Lin Yang, this is my grandfather."

"Grandpa, hello."

Out of politeness, Lin Yang immediately stepped forward with a smile and greeted the old man.

Mr. Xia nodded to Lin Yang with a smile, and then said, "Little friend Lin, Qingcheng, let's sit down and talk."

The three sat down one by one.

Xia Qingcheng sat next to her grandfather Xia Weiguo, and Lin Yang sat opposite her grandfather and grandson.

When meeting for the first time, it is natural that there will be some greetings and politeness.

And after the politeness, it is natural to start today's theme.

Speaking of which, after retiring, Mr. Xia has become obsessed with collecting antiques. Whether it is calligraphy, paintings, coins, vases and jade, he is very enthusiastic. Basically, he will buy any antiques he likes at any cost.

At noon today, Mr. Xia was chatting with some old friends, but he suddenly received a call from Xia Qingcheng, saying that there was a batch of ancient gold and silver ingots, asking if he was interested.

When the old man heard this, he raised his eyebrows on the spot.

Of course he was interested!
Although he had a large collection of antiques, he didn't have any ancient gold or silver ingots, so he was naturally very excited when he heard that there were a batch of ancient gold and silver ingots.

At this moment.

Grandpa Xia took a sip of his tea.

Then, he looked at Lin Yang and asked straight to the point: "Little friend Lin, I saw a photo sent to me by Qingcheng before, saying that you have a batch of ancient gold and silver ingots. I don't know if you have brought them now. ?”

Lin Yang nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Yes, I brought it."

After speaking, he took out a gold ingot and a silver ingot from his pocket, and put them on the table.

When Mr. Xia saw the two gold and silver ingots, he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Little friend, can I play with the gold and silver ingots?"

"Of course, you can do whatever you want, old man." Lin Yang smiled.

"Okay!" Mr. Xia nodded, then picked up the silver ingot from the table, and began to play with it carefully.

watched for a while.

He also took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, and looked at the inscription on the bottom of the silver ingot.

During this period, Lin Yang has been observing.

He found that Mr. Xia seemed very satisfied with this ancient silver ingot.

After appreciating for a long time, Mr. Xia finally stopped playing with the silver ingot in his hand.

Then, he looked up at Lin Yang and asked, "Little friend Lin, do you know what year this silver ingot is?"

Lin Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear about this, old man, did you see it?"

Mr. Xia put down the magnifying glass and said with a smile: "Well, judging from the inscription on the bottom of the silver ingot, it should be an official silver of the Zhu dynasty!"

Hearing the old man's words, Lin Yang couldn't help but nodded: "That should be it."

To be honest, although Lin Yang was not sure which dynasty the ancient shipwreck treasure he found belonged to.

But in fact, he had already guessed in his heart that the sunken ship might belong to the Ming Dynasty.

Because in ancient my country, the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty was the most developed, as evidenced by the famous Zheng He's many voyages to the West for trade.

So after discovering the sunken ship, Lin Yang guessed that there is a high probability that these official ingots belong to the Ming Dynasty.

It was also for this reason that Lin Yang was not surprised at the result of Mr. Xia's appraisal.

But here comes the problem.

Since this is the official silver of the Ming Dynasty, how much is it worth in the current antique market?
In the following time, Mr. Xia picked up the gold ingot on the table and appraised it carefully.

Afterwards, he judged that the gold and silver ingots were obviously belonging to one dynasty, because their forging techniques and the inscriptions on the bottom were almost exactly the same.

After appreciating all the gold and silver ingots, Mr. Xia stared at Lin Yang and asked with a smile:
"Lin Xiaoyou, I'm very interested in these Ming Dynasty ingots, how many of these ingots do you have?"

Hearing this, Lin Yang smiled, and asked back, "I don't know how much you want, old man?"

Mr. Xia immediately smiled and said, "Of course you want as much as you have!"

Lin Yang nodded, and then asked the most critical question.

"The price of gold ingots and silver ingots, how much do you think they are worth?"

Hearing this, Mr. Xia immediately narrowed his eyes, but at this time, Xia Qingcheng who was beside him smiled and said, "Grandpa, brother Lin Yang is my very good friend, you can't cheat him on the price." Yes, otherwise I will be in a hurry with you."

Hearing what my precious granddaughter said, Mr. Xia couldn't help laughing and said: "You girl, when did grandpa say he was going to cheat and raise Xiaoyou Lin, he was still anxious to me. You have learned to turn your elbows outside before you are married."

When Xia Qingcheng heard the words, she immediately curled her lips, rolled her eyes and said, "Grandpa! What are you talking about! What about getting married, what about turning your elbows outwards, how come this is involved!"

"Haha, okay, don't talk about this."

Mr. Xia smiled, then turned to look at Lin Yang.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and said with a smile.

"Lin Xiaoyou, you have also seen that my precious granddaughter has spoken to me, so I will definitely not cheat you on the price."

"How about this, I can give you 20 silver ingots for each of your silver ingots, and [-] for each of your gold ingots."

"I believe that the price I gave is quite appropriate for the official bank of the Ming Dynasty, but I don't know if Xiaoyou Lin is satisfied with this price?"

As for Lin Yang.

He couldn't help being shocked when he heard the price given by Mr. Xia.

There are 2 silver ingots and 20 gold ingots.

Fuck, is this thing so valuable?

You know, Lin Yang weighed gold and silver ingots before.

He found that a silver ingot was about 250 grams, while a gold ingot was about 500 grams.

That is to say, based on the current international gold and silver prices, a silver ingot can be worth more than 1 yuan, and a gold ingot can be worth about 15 yuan.

but now.

Mr. Xia directly offered 2 silver ingots and 20 gold ingots, which directly increased the price by about [-] to [-] percent.

To be honest, Lin Yang was not only satisfied with the price, but even a little surprised!

These gold ingots and silver ingots were of unknown origin, and basically they could only be sold by private acquaintances or on the black market, otherwise they would not be sold on the surface.

The existence of such a situation must have a great impact on their prices.

Therefore, after hearing the price given by Mr. Xia, Lin Yang must have agreed on the spot without a doubt.

"I'm very satisfied with this price, so let's pay according to the price you gave, old man!" Lin Yang nodded to old man Xia, and said with a smile.

Subsequently.

He also cast a grateful look at Xia Qingcheng.

Xia Qingcheng naturally understood the look in his eyes, and immediately smiled back.

"Okay, then it's settled!"

Seeing Lin Yang's quick agreement, Mr. Xia clapped his hands and laughed.

Obviously, he was also very happy.
