Chapter 225
They walked towards the place where the boxes were sold, and at this point, there were many tourists, and there were many people gathered here.
There are constantly tourists asking for prices, and when they learn 1 million, they are all smacked.
Although this person only came to sell boxes today, the terrifying price of 1 million spread throughout the Pan homeland in a very short time.
So far, only people have asked for prices, but tourists who really show that they want to buy, no, not a single one.
“Teacher Ma is here?”
When someone saw Ma Weidu, he immediately gave way and let him enter.
As soon as the stall owner saw Ma Weidu, he immediately welcomed him: “Teacher Ma, do you want to buy one?” ”
Ma Weidu asked: “The price is too expensive, if it is cheaper, I can consider it.” ”
The stall owner was a little embarrassed: “This is really not cheap, Mr. Ma, I really don’t lie to you, this box was fished out of the Minjiang River, and there are videos of the whole salvage.” If you want to see it, I can show you now, and when each box is fished up, it has a number. ”
The stall owner took his mobile phone and wanted to show him the video.
Ma Weidu waved his hand: “Even if it is caught, 1 million is too expensive.” ”
The stall owner said: “What is in the box, no one knows, 1 million is really not expensive.” Some time ago, Teacher Ma knew about Fucheng, right? How much did that Boss Lin cost? Eight jade seals were opened in a row! ”
“Fucheng is Fucheng, and Minjiang is Minjiang. Fucheng has the treasure of the king of trespassing, everyone knows, what is there in Minjiang? ”
“This…” The stall owner really couldn’t refute for a while.
Ma Weidu did not continue the topic and asked, “It hasn’t opened today, has it?” Cheaper, I’ll open it for you. ”
The stall owner hesitated for a few seconds and said, “I’ll call and ask.” ”
“Okay, you ask.”
The stall owner walked aside and dialed a number.
A moment later, he came back with his mobile phone and said, “How much does Teacher Ma think is appropriate?” ”
Ma Weidu said, “500,000.” ”
“Wait a minute.”
The stall owner did not hang up his mobile phone, picked it up, and waited for feedback from the other side.
He called Mr. Yang at “Six Five Zero”, and Mr. Yang was quite surprised to learn that Ma Wei was interested.
However, if Ma Wei is really willing to buy it, it can be regarded as propaganda.
If you can open the treasure from the box, the value of the other boxes can be fried in minutes.
“Sell it to him, but to make it clear, only the first box is 500,000, and the other boxes are still 1 million.”
After Mr. Yang finished speaking, the stall owner hung up the phone and said, “Our boss said, today’s first box is 500,000, whether it is Teacher Ma or others, as long as you are interested, the first box, 500,000 is sold!” Other boxes, or 1 million! ”
Ma Weidu said to his heart, this is a good calculation.
However, even if it was 500,000, no one bought it.
Since the horses are willing to buy it, they are also happy to watch.
The first to eat crabs has a certain probability of being able to eat them.
But there is also a certain probability that you will not be able to eat anything, it is completely depends on luck.
Unless there is really a horse for the capital, 500,000 is not money, otherwise no one can make up their minds to take 500,000 to fight a possibility.
As for Ma Weidu joining forces with each other to make a play, they didn’t think about it at all.
Ma Weidu’s status, this social reputation, can not do such a thing.
“Okay, give it to me.”
When no one spoke for a long time, Ma Weidu took out his mobile phone and paid directly.
After paying, the stall owner said, “Teacher Ma picks one.” ”
Ma Weidu snorted and pointed to one of the boxes: “That’s it.” ”
Lin Xiao glanced at it, Mr. Ma’s luck can be said to be quite good, and he just chose the most expensive one.
The stall owner asked, “Teacher Ma, is it right here?” ”
“Let’s go.”
Ma Weidu rolled up his sleeves: “I’ll drive it myself.” ”
He took the horn hammer handed by the stall owner, half-crouched down, and pounded on the box for a while.
“Oh~”
One nail after another is constantly being pried open.
The wood of these boxes seems to be elm wood, high density and high hardness, hundreds of years old, but only some rot in the corners, the whole is still strong, almost intact.
Tourists kept coming and word of mouth, and soon they all knew what was going on here.
As the last nail was pried open, the tourists gathered nearby also said in unison: “Teacher Ma, open it quickly!” ”
Ma Weidu smiled and said, “Don’t worry. ”
He returned the horn hammer to the stall owner, grabbed the lid and lifted it hard.
With a “crunch” sound, the lid of the box is lifted.
Ma Weidu had no knowledge of this box that had been sunken for hundreds of years, but the resistance when he lifted the lid made him feel that this box should not have been opened in advance.
As soon as the lid of the box was lifted, tourists rushed forward to probe their heads.
Lin Xiao and Zhao Yiming were both squeezed forward by the crowd.
“Don’t squeeze, don’t squeeze.”
“What a squeeze!”
The squeezed people scolded, and the people behind did not care, they just wanted to see what was in the box.
Ma Weidu saw it, and the box was full of copper money, which made him a little disappointed.
“Copper coins?”
“I’ll go, so much copper money?”
“Teacher Ma is rich!”
“This box must have two or three thousand copper coins, right?”
Tourists are envious.
Their understanding of antiques is very simple, seeing so many ancient coins, they subconsciously feel that Ma Weidu is worth 500,000 flowers.
Ma Weidu grabbed a handful, distinguished a little, and shook his head: “Chongzhen Tongbao, Dashun Tongbao.” ”
Among them, Dashun Tongbao occupies the main position, and Chongzhen Tongbao is not much.
In addition to this, there are copper coins from other periods of the Ming Dynasty.
Unless there can be particularly rare copper coins here, such as the same Dashun Tongbao, the price is different.
But you have to be patient to sort and choose.
If all of them were ordinary copper coins, this box would have survived three or four hundred thousand.
If you are lucky, 500,000 should be able to pay back.
If you are a little luckier, you can still earn two or three hundred thousand.
Maybe you won’t lose money, but you won’t make much either.
Ma Weidu did not bother, squatted down, and found a stall to put a few newspapers on the ground.
He grabbed the copper coin and put it on the newspaper while distinguishing.
He didn’t care about this little money, and the main function of the distinction was to know what the total value of the box was.
If it exceeds 500,000, it means that the source of the box is fine.
If it is less than 500,000, there is a certain probability that the other party is making the game.
Of course, not 100% sure.
After all, people do not open but choose to sell boxes directly, which itself has an element of gambling.
But he receives limited information and can only judge himself in this way.
After about ten minutes of picking, he suddenly saw something else in the box.
He took it out, it was a piece of silver ingot, ten taels, it was private silver.
Ma Weidu was a little surprised, this piece of private silver is almost 30,000 or 40,000.
Twenty minutes later, everything in the box was picked out.
There are four pieces of private silver, and all the others are copper coins.
Among them, the most valuable copper coin is a Chongzhen Tongbao Fold Ten Light Back Ten, this one is worth 100,000 yuan, and the quality is excellent.
Comprehensive calculation, the total value of this box of copper money is about 700,000.
Earned!
Ma Weidu was in a good mood and couldn’t help but look at the other boxes.
“Are these boxes sold for 500,000?”
“It must be sold.” The stall owner said: “But I also said, except for the first box, the rest is still the original price, if you want to buy, 1 million.” ”
Ma Weidu said: “You ask again, 500,000 a piece, if you sell it, I want it all.” ”
The stall owner smiled bitterly: “Teacher Ma, you are embarrassing me.” ”
“Let’s ask first.”
“Okay, then I’ll ask.”
Ma Weidu has to give face, but whether it is sold or not, he said it does not matter.
The stall owner took his mobile phone and went to the side to make a call.
“Cousin, Teacher Ma wants to buy all the remaining boxes, 500,000 a piece.”
Mr. Yang asked, “The box he bought is open?” ”
“On.”
“What’s in it?”
“Copper coins and a couple of silver ingots.”
“Silver ingot? Official or private bank? ”
“Where can I tell.”
“He opened it in the stall?”
“Hmm.”
“Do you want to buy it immediately after driving?”
“yes.” The stall owner asked, “Cousin, can you sell it?” ”
“You wait first, I’ll call you back later.”
President Yang has returned to the capital, and President Hu is still in his house in Jiangkou Town, specifically responsible for this matter.
He is the general manager, it is okay to walk away occasionally, and he is not there for a few days, which is definitely not okay.
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Yang immediately contacted Mr. Hu and told him about it.
Mr. Hu was surprised: “Teacher Ma bought it?” ”
Mr. Yang said: “He plans to buy them all now, but he is only willing to bid 500,000, what do you say?” ”
“We will definitely not lose 500,000 yuan, but in this case, we will not be able to sell the price if there are boxes later.”
“That’s what I think about too.” Mr. Yang said, “But the problem now is that there seems to be nothing valuable in the box. The box he opened was silver and copper money, and it was not clear whether it was official or private silver. But depending on what Mr. Ma meant, the value of that box would not be less than 500,000, otherwise he would not continue to buy it. ”
Mr. Hu said: “If I want to say, you can sell it, anyway, it is born to go in quantity.” ”
Mr. Yang asked, “How many did you salvage over there today?” ”
Mr. Hu said: “There are already four boxes, but there is bad news. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!) )
“What bad news?”
“There are already others coming to salvage it.” Mr. Hu sighed: “In this way, I estimate that it will not take two days, and all of them will come here to salvage.” ”
Mr. Yang asked, “Then… Sell? ”
“Sell it, it’s estimated that you can’t even sell 500,000.”
When they salvaged the second box, according to Mr. Hu’s idea, it was opened.
The result is still the same, the box is full of copper coins.
So starting from the third box, they did not continue to open, but directly transported to Panjiayuan.
Mr. Yang’s analysis is correct, Zhang Xianzhong’s box that lost Minjiang back then was full of gold and silver jewelry and other things.
At that time, these can be used directly, but they are not worth it now.
Of course, there must be boxes containing gold, but the probability is extremely low.
And Shen Jiang’s box back then is unlikely to be all, and the probability is only a part.
But exactly how much it sank, no one knows.
If you take the practice of a normal person, under the premise that you must sink the river, you must first sink something worthless.
Therefore, there are very few, if any, treasures such as gold.
Out of a thousand chests, there may be a box of gold.
What’s more, Zhang Xianzhong’s box lost in Minjiang, whether there are a thousand is not easy to say0…
Moreover, now more people come to Minjiang to retrieve boxes.
They were the first to fish, they were the first to sell, and they can still be sold.
When those people behind also fish out the box, it will inevitably be very difficult to shoot.
Because most of the boxes are copper coins.
Unless there are boxes with extremely valuable treasures, the price of these boxes will only steadily fall.
Ending the call, Mr. Yang dialed his cousin’s phone.
“Sell it.”
“Good.”
The stall owner put down his mobile phone and said, “Teacher Ma, my boss said, if you want, 500,000 will be given to you.” ”
“Hmm.”
Ma Weidu nodded and began to pay.
500,000, you can give it a shot, 1 million is enough.
After paying, Ma Weidu directly opened on the spot.
Zhao Yiming said, “Teacher Ma is really bold. ”
“Lao Lin, do you say there can be any treasure in this?”
Lin Xiao shook his head: “The probability is relatively low. ”
“Why?”
Zhao Yiming said: “Since Teacher Ma bought it, it means that these boxes should not be fake.” ”
Lin Xiao said: “It’s not fake or not, but it doesn’t mean that there must be good things.” I ask you, if you were Zhang Xianzhong and gave you a chance to loot the Shu capital, what things would you loot? ”
“You also need to ask, what is worth looting and what is it?”
“That’s right.” Lin Xiao said, “Valuable, besides gold and silver, what else can there be?” ”
Zhao Yiming was stunned and immediately understood what he meant.
“You mean, the probability of gold and silver is very high?”
“Hmm.”
This is a result that is easy to analyze.
People are warlords, and for warlords, cash flow comes first.
And Shen Jiang’s is not necessarily all, so it is inevitable to sink worthless things first.
For example, copper coins, and jewelry and other things that are not easy to realize.
Gold, official silver, belongs to hard currency, and can be used directly at any time.
You can recruit troops, you can buy grain and grass.
The role of copper money is much smaller.
During the war, not everyone recognized the copper coins of that time.
Ma Weidu must have analyzed these things, otherwise he would not have bargained.
The few remaining boxes were all opened soon.
Copper money is mostly and occasionally a few private money.
Guan Yin didn’t see a single one.
Ma Weidu calculated and found that on average, a box was almost 500,000 nodded.
Slightly earned a little.
He shook his head, a little regretful.
This was far from the outcome he had hoped for.
“So much copper money, get rich, right?”
“Teacher Ma is really bold, six boxes three million, say buy it.”
“Three million is what is it to Teacher Ma? About the same as our three hundred pieces. ”
The tourists were envious, and Ma Weidu called the owner of a nearby antique shop and asked him to come and collect it.
He came over and said, “It’s not too good luck. ”
Lin Xiao said, “There should still be boxes in the back, and Teacher Ma can try his luck again.” ”
Ma Weidu said: “The probability of having good things is too small, you see, six boxes, all copper coins.” Such a large amount, if you continue to drive, the price will have to plunge. Overall, I still lose. ”
Some tourists asked: “Teacher Ma, aren’t these copper coins worth anything?” ”
Ma Weidu shook his head: “A hundred yuan a piece.” ”
Usually, it may be sold for 5.2 two or three hundred, and the amount is so large that it is difficult to sell a hundred pieces.
He didn’t have the heart to set up a stall, and if he wanted to sell it, he could only sell it to an antique shop, so the price was fierce.
After a while, the owner of the antique shop came over: “Teacher Ma, where are the things?” ”
“These boxes are all there, you see.”
“So many?”
The boss was surprised, went up and grabbed a handful of copper coins, and said: “There are too many, I won’t be able to finish reading them for a while.” ”
Ma Weidu said: “You take it back and look at it slowly, and after reading the offer, make a price.” ”
“Okay.”
The two have obviously known each other for a long time, and Ma Weidu is not afraid of him dropping his bag.
Ordinary copper money, worthless things, is better than the large amount, there is no need to drop the bag.
The boss calls the employee and asks the employee to get a cart.
Lin Xiao asked the stall owner, “Are there other boxes?” ”
The stall owner said: “There are a few that have just been salvaged, they are still in Meishan, if you want, come and see it tomorrow.” ”
Lin Xiao snorted, intending to come around tomorrow.
At this time, Lin Xiao and Ma Weidu’s mobile phones rang at the same time.
The two took out their mobile phones and answered the call separately.
“Hello, who?”
“Mr. Lin, I am the salesman of Bonhams Auction House on Hong Kong Island, our auction house has an auction at the end of the month, and the preview exhibition is held in these days, you can trouble Mr. Lin to provide the address, and we will send you the preview album.”
“Good…” Lin Xiao reported his address and hung up the phone.
Just as Ma Weidu also hung up the phone, he said: “Xiaolin, there is an auction on Hong Kong Island at the end of the month, do you want to go around?” ”
Lin Xiao said, “Bonhams? ”
Ma Weidu was stunned: “You also received a call?” ”
“Hmm.” Lin Xiao asked, “How about this auction house?” ”
Ma Weidu said: “One of the largest and oldest auction houses in the world. ”
So awesome?
However, Lin Xiao turned out to be the first time he heard about it.
“Then we’ll have to go over and see.”
