Jianbao life

Chapter 589 Arhat Money

"What taboo?" Liu Sizhe asked with great interest.

The middle-aged man replied: "It violated the rules of our appraisal..."

In the antique business, it is very common to buy something and give it to a friend with good eyesight. If the person who holds your eye has a good relationship with you and a strong relationship, then it doesn't matter. There are also a few rules.

First of all, don't easily show unfamiliar friends what you can't judge, and if you read it, don't insist on letting the other party give you results.Because, for a good collector, it is not difficult to identify an object, the difficulty is whether to tell the owner of the object.

The reason for this is also because, if the item is fake, the buyer may rely on his conclusion to return the item, and if the seller knows that it was identified by him, then he will offend others.The antique business is very particular about contacts. Under such circumstances, many collectors don't like to give eyes to people they don't know well.

Secondly, when you return a counterfeit product, don't use it to the person you appraised as an excuse, such as "so and so said that this item is fake, please return it to me."Such unwise moves usually offend many people.

First of all, you let the seller know who is the person who gave you the palm of your hand, and at the same time let him feel that everyone in the industry already knows about his behavior of selling your fake products, so that the things that could have been refunded to you will not be refunded.

Moreover, let the person who holds your eyes feel that you have betrayed them, and will not help you look at things in the future. Finally, if the matter is too big, other antique dealers will think you are some capricious people, and you are used to buying things. Just return the things, and no one will be willing to sell you good things in the future.

The young man in front of him actually committed such a taboo. He wanted to return the product, but his attitude was bad. When he came to the store, he said straightforwardly: "My item was appraised by XX. It's a modern handicraft, Shopkeeper Huang, hurry up and return the item to me!"

Having broken a taboo and speaking so aggressively, how could that shopkeeper Huang return the product?So, the two argued, and finally quarreled.

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Speaking of which, although shopkeeper Huang has a rule of returning goods, it is just a verbal statement from shopkeeper Huang, and there is no clear text. Therefore, even if shopkeeper Huang does not return, there is no way, but The young man insisted on returning the product, and things became deadlocked."

Hearing that this was the case, Chu Chen and the others all shook their heads. This young man is likely to be a newcomer to the industry, so he may not know the rules of the antique industry, but the most important rules in the antique industry, since the newcomer If you don't know the rules, you should be more modest and cautious in dealing with things.

With the attitude of a young man, if he wants to work in the antique industry, he will have to be beaten to death.

Knowing the reason of the matter, Chu Chen and the others felt that there was nothing to see, so they turned around and prepared to find a place to eat, but before taking two steps, they suddenly heard the sound of something breaking.

The four of them looked back quickly, but they didn't expect that the young man actually performed a full martial art. Not only did he punch the shopkeeper Huang twice, but he also pushed hard, hitting the Bogu cabinet behind him.With this collision, a piece of the contents of the Bogu cabinet suddenly fell off.

Young people are like this, when they are angry, it is easy to ignore them, but when they see the debris all over the ground, the young man is a little stupid. He immediately realizes that he has caused trouble, but he does not want to solve it first, but I thought of running away.

Many of the onlookers knew Shopkeeper Huang. At the beginning, it was a conflict between Shopkeeper Huang and the young man. At most, everyone tried to persuade them, but they didn’t say much. Now the young man not only beat Shopkeeper Huang , and want to run after breaking something, this kind of behavior is of course unacceptable.

So many people in the onlookers wanted to stop the young man, and the young man also knew that if he was stopped, he would definitely die, so he rushed forward desperately, so that he could not die. The position chosen by the young man was actually Chu Chen. here.

Originally, if Chu Chen and the others didn't have anything in their hands, it would be fine to help stop the young man, but they still had something in their hands, and the value of the thing was quite high, so of course they could only choose to avoid it.

Of course, Chu Chen and the others were not the only ones who chose to avoid the scene. After all, today is the day to rush to the scene, and many people also have things in their hands.There are too many people to avoid, and a passage is directly given to the young people.

Seeing this situation, the young man thought that he was about to escape from birth, and he couldn't help but feel happy, but Youdao was extremely happy and sad, and before he ran a few steps, a peddler who had already closed his stall and was about to leave appeared in front of him .

Needless to say about the ending, the young man bumped into the peddler directly, staggered and fell to the ground. Just as he was about to get up and run away, he was caught by the people who rushed up behind him. Someone took the opportunity to beat him up. Called the police.

And the peddler suffered purely from an innocent disaster. Not only did he also fall to the ground, but all the things he was carrying also fell to the ground. Fortunately, most of the things he sold were copper wares, and many of them were fakes. , the loss is not heavy.

Fortunately, the peddler was a little relieved that no one took advantage of the fire, and many people helped him pick up the scattered goods on the ground and returned them to him.

Just when the young man was pale with fright, shopkeeper Huang also looked at the debris on the floor and wanted to cry without tears.At this time, he already regretted the decision to return the goods in the store. If he hadn't come up with such an idea because he wanted the business to be better, this kind of trouble would not have happened today!

Fortunately, the young man didn't run away, and the loss can be recovered. However, the value of antiques is always justified by the public, and there is often no uniform price.Therefore, in terms of compensation, it is definitely impossible to compensate according to what he said, and it will be somewhat discounted.

Besides, this is still based on the premise that the young man has so much money to compensate, but this person can spend so long with him for more than 800 yuan, and finally beat him, so he should not be a rich person. It is hard to say whether the young man has money to compensate him.

Anyway, no matter how you say this time, don’t even think about making money. If you don’t lose money, it’s considered a high incense.Fortunately, the total value of these items is only [-] to [-] yuan, even if there is no compensation, it is not a serious injury to the shopkeeper.

Just as the shopkeeper lamented that the passing years were unlucky, Chu Chen also picked up a few copper coins that had fallen to his feet, intending to return them to the unlucky peddler, but when he saw a copper coin in his hand, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Then he looked at the copper coins calmly and thoughtfully for a while, and then walked over when he saw that the peddler was almost packed.

"Boss, I picked up two of your Arhat coins. I wonder if you still have any?"

Arhat money is a special product of the "Kangxi Tongbao" coin made during the Kangxi period.

It is generally believed that the difference from ordinary Kangxi Tongbao is that there is a single dot next to the word "Tong" of Luohan Qian, while most of ordinary Kangxi Tongbao have double dots. "Kangxi Tongbao" is written as "熈", which is the key to identifying Arhat money.

However, this is only the common view in the antique world now. In the Tang and Kun's "Tong Kao on Making Money" in the Xianfeng period, it was said: "...You Kangxi Tongbao Qian Yipin, the character Xi is still used as "熈". Xiyuan Note: The shape, quality and copper color of this product are not at all different from the previous product, and the character Weixi is still written as "熈", which is a different ear."

This sentence means that although the coin on the right is "熈", its shape, quality and copper color are the same as the previous one, except that the character Xi is different. Of course, it is also Luohan money.Judging from this, it is very likely that the understanding that the word "Xi" in Luohan Qianzhi Qian Wen is a kind of money is probably wrong.

In fact, Chu Chen had never seen an arhat coin with the word "熈" before, but the Kangxi Tongbao he picked up just now, the money, the inner profile and the outer edge are bright and smooth, the precious light is clear, and the brilliance is compelling. People, the essence of copper can be described as superior.In addition, the body of the coin is as bright as a mirror, and it is not inferior to the 83 version of the refined panda silver coin that Chu Chen has seen.

This kind of Kangxi Tongbao, Chu Chen is sure to be different from any other Kangxi Tongbao seen on the market. Just when he saw the two Arhat coins in his hand, he remembered the passage in "Tongkao on Making Money".

Seeing that there is a business to do, of course the peddler will not refuse, plus the arhat coin now costs more than ten yuan a piece, and the eight arhat coins in his hand are only two yuan when he gets it, so he can make a lot of money in a short time. A hundred yuan, how can he not be happy.

"There should be a few more, but they were all scattered just now, so I can only find them slowly..." The peddler quickly took his things aside, and he and Chu Chen searched quickly together.

The speed of the two was quite fast, and within a short while they found out the remaining pieces of Arhat coins. In addition, Chu Chen found a few more pieces of Kangxi Tongbao, and then asked, "Boss, how much are these?"

The peddler said with a smile on his face: "The few Kangxi Tongbao are not counted as a gift for you. The total is 120. What do you think?"
The price was more reasonable, and thinking that he had missed it, Chu Chen agreed without hesitation and paid the money to the other party.

After walking out of the antique market, Liu Sizhe asked curiously, "Brother Chen, why do you suddenly want to buy a few arhat coins? Are you going to give them to your sister-in-law?"

Hearing Liu Sizhe's question, Duan Kun next to him felt a little strange, and asked, "What kind of money is this Luohan money? How can it be used as a token of love?"

Liu Sizhe explained the Luohan money with a smile, and then said: "Because the Luohan money is excellent in copper quality, exquisitely made, and has many mysterious legends, folks have always regarded it as a symbol of auspiciousness and happiness, and use it to "luck the new year". Marriage is a "press box", and a man and a woman are in love with each other as a "token", so from its appearance to the present, it has been loved by many people..."
