Chapter 0006: The Bicycle Transforms into a Motorcycle

After eating rice for twenty-three years, he has only seen this much money in the hands of others. Now, Mr. Lin can finally buy a toilet in the precious land of Jianghai City.

What is this? This is too much of a rip-off. According to the auction records he found, this item is worth at least 7,000 US dollars, which is over 40,000 Chinese yuan. Now the other party is quoting 30,000. Even Africans are not as unscrupulous as you.

It is too low; the lowest auction price recorded online is still over 7,000 US dollars

At my age, can this old body still joke with you

After strolling for a while on the bustling street, I turned and walked into a shop that specializes in the trade of ancient coins

Then I might as well transfer it to you

In this way, I will take advantage of you a little, how about 200,000?

I am the appraiser in the store, may I take a look at your items

Grandfather! A girl of about sixteen or seventeen shook his arm, her tone revealing a hint of reproach, as if she disapproved of his meddling.

... ...

The other party shot him a glance and said, "Renminbi."

Spirit 4

After a short while, a man in his fifties came out from inside and walked straight up to Lin Yue.

Ancient coins with historical and cultural value, such as foreign currency, copper coins, silver ingots, and grain tickets, are neatly arranged in a glass display case, accompanied by relevant annotations and price lists next to illustrated books. In the middle, several column-shaped display cases showcase knife coins, cloth coins, and other currencies that circulated during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all in pristine condition with clear inscriptions; however, he is unsure whether they are genuine or replicas.

To Huai

How much can you offer for what you collect

The old man didn't even glance at him and returned the double eagle gold coin to Lin Yue: "There is a Construction Bank not far ahead, how about we conduct the transaction there?"

Two hundred thousand, a full two hundred thousand

Lin Yue stopped in his tracks and looked at the sign hanging from the second floor of the building on his left - Shangwu Boxing Gym

In the past, he rarely wandered here; firstly, he had no knowledge of antiques, secondly, he lacked interest, and a very important reason was that he had no money in his pocket. Additionally, he had a somewhat natural and harmless paranoia, always feeling that those vendors would treat him as a fat sheep to be slaughtered

It is evident that the owner has substantial financial resources, as the interior is decorated in an antique style, with various types of lighting fixtures illuminating the exhibition hall in a splendid manner

What level is approximately 10 points of strength

Lin Yue led Ba Dun away from the shop, walking forward with an elderly man and a young boy. "What do you wish to be called, sir?"

The old man rendered the appraiser speechless with a single remark, while the younger aunt was left blushing, caught in an awkward situation

Strength 10

Alright

Lin Yue exited the pet hospital holding the epidemic prevention certificate and hailed a taxi by the roadside to head to the antique market on Sanyang Road

The pedestrians nearby, the vehicles in the distance, the white clouds in the sky, the towering buildings, and the General Badu behind him, everything he sees now resembles love.

Casting a glance at the collectors idly wandering in the hall, Lin Yue walked straight up to a shop assistant who appeared to be in his late twenties and asked, "Do you accept foreign ancient coins here?"

Intelligence 7

The appraiser said: "Not much. You know that is the final price at the auction, which does not exclude commissions and taxes. Considering the time and effort spent, how much higher can the final profit be compared to thirty thousand? Moreover, the acceptance of such foreign currency is not high domestically, and the audience is limited; many antique coin dealers do not accept it."

Oh!

After a period of time, Lin Yue walked out of the antique market with a bank card that contained two hundred thousand yuan

Young man, have you thought this through? From the perspective of value preservation and collection, this is truly a top-notch item

Why does this name sound so awkward

is gold coin

Of course, the condition of this Saint-Gaudens double eagle coin is not perfect, but according to the grading standards of NGC and PCGS, it could be rated around sixty-four or sixty-five. The old man spoke quite frankly: "You offer someone thirty thousand RMB for something worth thirty thousand USD, tsk tsk... that's just highway robbery"

The shop assistant was taken aback, not expecting that he actually had goods in his pocket

The old man ignored the young girl's expression, picked up the gold coin placed on the counter, and said: "1907 St. Gaudens double eagle gold coin, with a face value of 20 dollars, falls between circulated and uncirculated, and belongs to a category of coins with limited supply, having fetched a high price of 2 million dollars at an auction in North America"

If you are not satisfied, you can inquire with other antique coin dealers; I believe no one will offer you more than 30,000.

Hmph. The appraiser over there snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve

Lin Yue nodded and pushed the box containing the gold coins over

Please wait a moment. This time it was her turn to be cautious, inviting Lin Yue to take a seat before turning to walk into the room behind the counter

The appraiser thought for a moment and said: "Thirty thousand"

"The line is just two hundred thousand." Lin Yue understood that the old man was referring to matters concerning the exchange rate.

Because the reward for the novice task is a 1907 Saint-Gaudens double eagle gold coin, I can only grit my teeth and come over here to try my luck in order to quickly cash it out

For individuals with overseas connections, this type of coin is easy to liquidate, and its liquidity is significantly higher than that of ancient currency from the Huaxia civilization

At this moment, Lin Yue tore off the tape, opened the plastic box, and placed the contents on the counter.

He asked himself a question in his heart and led the eight-dun upstairs to the second floor

Do not say, if the price is reasonable, I would indeed like to acquire one as a dowry for my granddaughter

"Thirty thousand US dollars? Are you buying it?" The appraiser did not expect to encounter such a situation. It is one thing for a young man in his twenties to make an irresponsible remark, but the key issue is that the person standing up for justice is an old man buried in the ground up to his neck. He has lived for decades like a dog. Isn't this obstructing someone's means of making a living?

Ah, thirty thousand

To Huai

All unscrupulous merchants in the world are one. Who knows if the remaining antique coin trading shops on Sanyang Road are owned by the same boss, or if the decision-makers are relatives or friends? He is not that foolish; if one wants to inquire, they must go to other antique markets to ask.

"Of course, I will buy it," the woman said as she looked at him. "I wonder which country's ancient coins you are selling?"

Race: Human

Name: Lin Yue

Lin Yue hesitated whether to make a trip to the antique market in the neighboring district. An elderly man with graying hair and wearing a pair of tortoiseshell glasses glanced over here twice, a sarcastic smile appearing on his face

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and believed that the appraiser's words held some truth; however, the offer was still quite far from his psychological bottom line of 40,000 yuan. He felt reluctant to sell it off hastily.

Elderly gentleman, do you really want to buy it

I have encountered a situation, please make an offer

Summoning the system panel in his mind, he gazed at the attribute data, lost in thought

Attribute: Constitution 5

The shop assistant revealed a faint bitter smile, thinking to himself that this person was being overly cautious, making it seem as if he were a thief.

He did not inquire about the other party's insights, instead opting for a question that seemed trivial.

Lin Yue's eyes darted as he asked, "Elder, do you recognize this ancient coin?"

The appraiser examined the coin back and forth for quite a while, and after weighing it, he took a magnifying glass to conduct a detailed inspection of the coin's surface details. Finally, with a serious expression, he said: "Indeed, this is a Saint-Gaudens double eagle gold coin"

System Panel

Bicycles transformed into motorcycles, Alto upgraded to Audi, part-time QM swapped for a club model, today is indeed a stroke of luck

U.S. dollar

Lin Yue cautiously glanced around and took out a plastic box wrapped in a circle of black tape from his pocket
