Reborn to be rich

Chapter 23 Sky-high Silver Dollars
Seeing a silver dollar, Zhang Guodong suddenly became excited.He took the four spears away, and saw that there were actually 3 black clay pots lying inside, one of which was broken, and more than ten silver coins fell around the pot. Zhang Guodong moved all the pots out.

The three jars are only about 30 centimeters high, and the largest jar is about 40 centimeters in diameter. They are filled with various silver and gold coins, and there are also a few pieces of jade pendants that look like they belonged to ancient nobles.

There were more than 500 silver dollars in a jar, and Zhang Guodong held a jar of 3 to 40 catties at most. He poured a jar of silver dollars on the ground, and the sound of silver dollars colliding kept piercing into his ears. Zhang Guodong couldn't help but smile when he looked at it.

In the previous life of Zhang Guodong's rebirth, the starting price of a gold dollar was more than 10, but here there are at least dozens of gold dollars.Shining a flashlight on a pile of silver dollars, Zhang Guodong found that there were dozens of types of silver dollars ranging from "Guangxu Yuanbao" and "Daqing Yiliang" to "Yuan Datou", "Zhanren" and "Beiyanglong". There are many silver dollars that are very difficult to be simple in later generations.

After clearing up his excitement, Zhang Guodong returned to the entrance of the cave little by little along the way when he entered the cave. At this time, Zhang Guotao was waiting for him with all his strength.

"Give me the bag, I found the silver dollar! You wait here, there may be wild animals here at night, be careful."

It was getting dark, so Zhang Guodong picked up two cloth bags and went back to the crypt. After picking up all the gold and silver dollars, Zhang Guodong found a pair of gold bracelets and a silver hairpin hidden under a jar.Zhang Guodong checked the room again to make sure there was nothing there before turning around and leaving.

Carrying two small bags of silver dollars on his back, he got off the ladder with the support of his younger brother. Zhang Guodong dragged the ladder out of the cave and threw it to the bottom of the ditch. Only then did the two brothers get up and go home.

On the way home, both of them were extremely cautious. Zhang Guotao was always tense as he walked back along the alley.

"They are all ordinary silver dollars. You don't have to be so nervous. It's only a few thousand yuan if you sell them. You have to turn on the flashlight! There are a lot of snakes here at night." Zhang Guodong looked at his excited brother and comforted him. Feeling.

“这得有1000多枚银元了吧！哥，我们发财了！一个银币买3块钱加上那两个金镯子最起码得有3、4千了。”突然想起五叔现在急等2千多元救命，这些东西到最后自己家也就落下个1千块，张国涛喜悦的心情顿时不见。

Zhang Guodong didn't explain to his younger brother, the corner of his mouth showed a slight arc, he had been thinking about how to get the first pot of gold in his rebirth, didn't he come here!

The countryside at night is very quiet. Except for Zhang Guodong and his brother, there are no pedestrians on the road. The farmers have been busy all day chatting at the door of a house. After a few sounds, Zhang Ping came out and opened the door.

"Brother, where did you two go this afternoon? Why did you come back so late." It was almost eleven o'clock, and the mother, younger sister and younger brothers were still waiting for them.

"Don't call it a change, I'll talk to you later." Zhang Guotao threw down the rope, pouted head and other tools as soon as he entered the door, and followed Zhang Guodong back to his room.

Zhang Ping picked up the things thrown by the second brother on the ground and put them back where they should be put one by one. Hu Yuee wanted to say a few words to Zhang Guodong when she went out, but the family members were waiting for news from Zhang Chengmao. Guodong looked covered in dust and she didn't speak.

"Let's eat first! Let's tidy things up tonight. Don't tell the third sister about going to Zuitoushan, as long as mom knows." Putting the two bags in the corner, Zhang Guodong took his second brother and left. They had been together for half a day. I didn't even take a sip of water, and now my whole body suddenly became sore and hungry when I got home.

Hu Yue'e cut a plate of cold meat, made another pickle, and a bowl of porridge plus steamed buns was enough for each person. The family's food has improved more than a little in the past few days.

Xiaoyue fights with her younger brother while eating, looking carefree. Recently, the situation at home has improved, and there is delicious food every day, and her elder brother asked her to learn to sing. She is already the best singer in school. up.

Xiao Guorui is still at the age of being playful and greedy. What he fears most in the family is these two elder brothers. His parents and sisters spoil him endlessly, but the two elder brothers are different. Things that can be solved with a slap , not just scold a few words.

"My fifth uncle's illness is more troublesome this time. We transferred from the countryside to the county, and then went to the city's No. 1 civilian hospital. The city hospital was not sure about the treatment of fifth uncle's illness, so we finally went to Chang'an." Zhang Guodong gently said As she spoke, Hu Yue'e listened silently, and she couldn't help but shed tears when she heard about Zhang Chengmao's situation.

"Don't tell my fifth aunt about this news. I have already found out the cost of the operation. It won't be too late when my fifth uncle comes back. Guotao, you and your mother will help fifth aunt tomorrow. The wheat is all collected, and the hospital matters Don't worry, my dad will be back in a week at most."

Now Guodong's family and Wen Bin's family are left with Zhang Guodong as the backbone, and he has to make up his mind about family affairs.

After everyone went back to their rooms to rest at night, Zhang Guodong and his younger brother finally had a chance to check the situation of the silver dollars.

For the silver dollar, Zhang Guodong should be regarded as the earliest group of people playing in China. He has done in-depth research on the four kings and the wrong version of the absolute coin.

First of all, pick out all the gold coins. There are three kinds of gold coins here. Among them, there are 54 "Yuan Datou" gold coins. .And the last two kinds of golden apes gave Zhang Guodong a lot of surprises.

Two "Great Wall" gold coins, this kind of gold coins are relatively rare in circulation, only the capital and Lu provinces use more, and the price of this "Great Wall" coin in later generations is 30 yuan.

The last gold dollar is much smaller than the other gold coins, and the writing on it is so worn that it is hard to see clearly, but a few vague symbols can tell that it is a Spanish gold coin. This 1803 Spanish gold coin is very rare in later generations , but many people in China don't know much about it now.

The value of 57 gold coins in later generations is about 30 yuan, and now it can be sold for 2 yuan, which is not bad.

There are a total of 1238 silver coins, most of which are the heads of Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen, and there are also many silver coins in the late Qing Dynasty.Zhang Guodong arranged all the silver dollars separately according to the time. The real price of the silver dollars is related to his preservation, year, and rarity. There are 126 silver dollars in this pile of silver dollars. At 3 times the price, 5 silver coins are relatively rare silver coins, and there will be more people who like to collect them. If the transaction goes well, it may be 6 times more expensive than ordinary silver coins. Zhang Guodong took a fancy to a Sun Yat-sen silver coin.

This Sun Yat-sen silver dollar is like the earth version of the one-yuan silver dollar. This silver dollar was minted by the Tianjin Mint in 1929. On the front is the portrait of Mr. Sun Yat-sen in a suit, and on the back is the pattern of the earth, so it is called "Sun Yat-sen's earth version one-yuan silver dollar". A few years later, he was auctioned for a high price of 55 yuan, and he was one of the "Four Heavenly Kings Silver Dollars" in China.

"Hide these, I will take the rest to Chang'an tomorrow, and these two pieces of official jade, put them away too."

Zhang Guodong poured all the ordinary silver dollars into one bag, and the more than 100 silver dollars selected by him were placed in another bag, which contained all the gold dollars and special silver dollars.

In fact, ordinary silver dollars in the silver dollar business can't make money, and sometimes they even lose money.But as long as you receive some special silver coins, the lost money will be made up quickly. If you can receive a rare or even a king-level silver coin, you will be able to eat it for three years once you open it.Therefore, anyone who does silver dollar business must go to the countryside to really make money.

Early the next morning, Zhang Guodong set off quietly on a bicycle with half a pocket of silver dollars.

In order to prevent the silver coins from making too obvious collision noise, Zhang Guodong put on three layers of cloth bags, with some wheat straw sandwiched in the middle of each layer of cloth bags, so that as long as the bags were not opened, no one would be able to guess that there would be half a bag of silver dollars in his bag.

Riding bicycles all the way to the county bus station, Wu Laosan’s bus is still waiting there. Today, the bus is driven by brothers Wu’s family. After seeing Zhang Guodong, the few people who followed the bus were very polite to Zhang Guodong and kept calling He Zhang brother.Zhang Guodong stored his bicycle in the lounge of an officer on duty at the station, which is not a problem for these people who run passenger transport.

Feeling a little hungry, Zhang Guodong ate a bowl of mutton steamed buns at the "Dayongkang Restaurant" at the entrance of the station. The mutton steamed buns in Yongkang County are very distinctive in later generations. A bowl costs 3 cents plus meat and only 5 cents. Zhang Guodong is full of expectations I ate a bowl of it, but the taste was really not that good. The seasoning was too single and the smell of oil was too heavy, which completely destroyed the freshness in the clear soup. It was far from the recipe that has been summed up countless times in later generations.

"It seems that if there is an opportunity to open a steamed bun shop, the business will definitely be booming." Zhang Guodong read silently.

When he finally came to Chang'an City by car, when the sun was at its strongest, Zhang Guodong went out and got on a bus. After driving southeast for more than ten minutes, the city wall of Chang'an City appeared in front of his eyes.

In his previous life, Zhang Guodong had contacts with several major rare objects collection and appraisal centers in Chang'an City, and he knew everything about silver coins.

At that time, the largest market for ancient coins and cultural relics in Chang'an City was in Luoma City. There were countless cultural relics stalls here every day, and there was an endless stream of people who came here to search for treasures.

Zhang Guodong walked around quietly first, and had a basic understanding of the price of silver dollars here.

The most common "Yuan Datou" here has an official price of 5 yuan, and many stalls are mostly selling silver dollars. They produce more than ten kinds of rare silver dollars in China and mark their super high prices to attract people, but the silver dollars are different. Not king class.

"How do I collect silver dollars?" Zhang Guodong came to a booth at the corner of a luomashi square. There were relatively few people here, and there were only two customers looking at the booth.

"5 yuan, if you have a large quantity, I will count you as 5 and 3." The shop owner saw Zhang Guodong's appearance, like a person who went to the countryside to receive the goods. Many people would come here to sell the goods, but there are mixed fish and dragons here. There are also a lot of goods.

"Ask the price first? I'm from Yongkang County, the capital of Qin Dynasty. Many silver coins here are old goods from the Qing Dynasty. You can take a look first." Zhang Guodong took out more than 100 older silver coins, and the stall owner took them one by one. After reading it carefully, it took more than ten minutes to complete the identification one by one, and handed the bag to Zhang Guodong.

"Things are good things, and you know the market. How about 9 yuan? If you want, we can trade now." The stall owner sat down and said lightly.

To trade this kind of silver dollar with thousands of yuan, the general seller must prepare enough money in advance. If a stall owner leaves halfway to withdraw money, this place will definitely not be able to do any more transactions.

"10 yuan, these are the best batches I have selected to keep, if not for the recent shortage of funds, it is impossible to take them out..."

In the end, the deal was negotiated at 9 yuan and 8 yuan. This time it was considered a better price. The other party's ability to recognize silver dollars is not very good. He thought that there might be special silver coins in this pile of silver dollars. Didn't he know that special silver coins had been selected by him long ago? up.

The 139 silver coins were finally sold for 1362 yuan. Zhang Guotao checked all the money one by one and there was no problem, so he handed over the silver coins to the other party. The transaction was considered over.

If you think that you are complacent when you complete the transaction in this way, you are wrong. Many people in this market are mostly in the same group. As long as you leave here, you may be robbed for no reason. They often do things like killing people and stealing goods.

Of course, it is unlikely that the other party will intercept him for more than 1000 yuan. This is also the trading method that Zhang Guodong decided after thinking for a long time.

He deliberately walked around the square twice. There were few people here. Zhang Guodong made sure that no one was following him, so he quietly returned to the stall and continued to bargain with the second stall owner.

Three orders were completed, and the transaction of more than 400 well-preserved old silver dollars was completed. Zhang Guodong carried 4 bundles of Great Unity in his bag.The remaining silver dollars are either the most common silver dollars or those with wear and tear on them, which are not collected by ordinary people.He quietly left the market with the money, walked around the clock tower twice to confirm that no one was following him, and he was relieved.

On the side of Bell Tower West Street at this time, there are often people who accept old mail. They are all trying their luck in crowded places, which is far worse than the scale of Luoma Market. Zhang Guodong came all the way to Bell Tower West Street, and took a look. The stall with the cash register walked over.

"How do you collect the silver dollars!" Zhang Guodong threw the silver dollar bag on the ground and made a "ding dong" sound.

The stall owner looked about 30 years old, with an honest appearance. After seeing Zhang Guodong, he looked around and made sure that Zhang Guodong was just going there alone before turning around.

"Four dollars!"

"Why is it only four yuan? There are five yuan in Luomashi. I heard that the price here is high." Zhang Guodong got up and was about to leave.

"Don't worry, little brother, let me see how things are."

Zhang Guodong looked embarrassed and finally did it.Handing a cloth bag to the stall owner, the stall owner opened the bag to check each one, Zhang Guodong was not in a hurry.

"You have picked all the silver dollars!"

"The new ones have been picked, but it doesn't matter! I heard that the old ones are valuable. Brother, do you think I have any valuable ones here?" Zhang Guodong looked like a novice who didn't understand anything.

The stall owner couldn't help laughing, and didn't explain his mistake. If there is something good here, can I tell you?

After confirming that all the silver dollars were in order, the stall owner handed over the bag to Zhang Guodong.

"I see you have more than 600 coins. I'll give you 5 yuan for each. You go to the Luoma market and they're all ground like this. It's no wonder they don't bargain for you. All your silver dollars here are 2 yuan. 5, how about it?"

"Well... 5 yuan 5, I have so many silver dollars, and it took more than two months to save them."

"5 yuan and 3, to be honest, I don't make money from you, and the silver dollar profit is not as high as you think."

"5 yuan 4..."

"make a deal!"

……

After counting, there were 665 silver dollars in the bag, which was sold at the price of 3951 agreed by the two.
