Chapter 10: Da Qi Tongbao

"Da Qi Tongbao!" Ouyang Zhanjun was also stunned when he saw the four words on the copper coin. It was indeed the Da Qi Tongbao among the fifty treasures, and it was a variety that was hard to find, because it only had one in existence and was overseas.

The Daqi Tongbao is the first type of Southern Tang coins cast by Li Mou, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The amount of existence is very rare, with only two beings born, one of which has been lost and the other being overseas, so the Daqi Tongbao can only see rubbings but not the real objects.

The Daqi Tongbao, which is overseas, was discovered by the Republic of China currency collectors Dai Baoting and Zhu Kezhuang accidentally kicked a shuttlecock by a child when they were in rural Poyang, Jiangxi. However, because it was used to make a shuttlecock, four small holes were punched on it, so it is called the "Four-eyed Daqi".

Later, the Four-eyed Daqi was purchased by the famous collector Zhang Shuxun, and he did not show anyone's secrets. He called himself "Qizhai", which shows his love for the Four-eyed Daqi.

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zhang Shuxun's family immigrated to the United States. Before leaving, they entrusted all the coins and business matters they collected to his sister Zhang Zhizai. It was not until after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan that Zhang Shuxun returned to China to handle financial and property, and returned to the United States four months later, and took away the ancient coins they collected, including the Four-eyed Daqi.

After Zhang Shuxun passed away, his wife sold the batch of ancient coins to the American collector Dai Jitao. After Dai Jitao's death, his huge inheritance and collection formed the "Dai Jitao Foundation", and the four-eyed Daqi was stored in this foundation, and it was almost impossible for him to return to China.

"Da Qi Tongbao, missing corners, it's not a missing corners, right?" Ye Zijing took a deep breath. If it was really the missing corners, it would be amazing.

The first Daqi Tongbao, which was born, was collected by Dai Xu, a famous Jiangnan scholar in the Qing Dynasty. Because there was a piece missing on the upper right, it was called the Quejiao Daqi. At that time, someone bought it at a high price, but Dai Xu was reluctant to give up. Until the Taiping Army entered Hangzhou, Dai Xu committed suicide out of prejudice against the Taiping Army.

Before Dai Xu died, he buried treasures such as Daqi Tongbao deep underground. In order to obtain this rare treasure, his descendants rushed to buy Dai's house, digging three feet of the ground and sifting out the soil with a sieve, but still had nothing to find, and Daqi was lost.

It can be seen from this that Quejiao Daqi has such great charm and influence. If he is reborn, he will definitely bring strong winds and waves in the archaeological and collection worlds.

"Da Qi, missing corners or the upper right corner. It may be like this." Qin Xuebing was excited. This is the missing corners and Da Qi, which has an orderly inheritance. It has a legendary story behind it. Its collection value is higher than that of a complete Da Qi Tongbao.

This is not surprising. It is extremely important to inherit the antiques in an orderly manner. Taking a piece of porcelain worth millions as an example, if it is used by a famous figure in history, the price will increase by 50% or even twice; if a strange story occurs in the middle and is linked to a famous historical event, the price will increase by 50% to 100%.

If Qin Xuebing was really a missing corner of Daqi, its value would be immeasurable, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it "a thousand gold" hard to find.

"You will know whether the corner is missing or not, after comparison."

Qian Zhengtai brought a copy of "Suzhai Izumi Taku" and turned to the page of Quejiao Daqi: "Fortunately there are Quejiao Daqi's rubbings, otherwise they would be really unrecognizable."

"The missing corner is Daqi, it is indeed Daqi." Ouyang Zhanjun jumped up excitedly, and the comparison result was almost exactly the same, and it was confirmed.

"I didn't expect that I could still see Quejiao Daqi in my lifetime." Qian Zhengtai's mood was extremely complicated, as if he was old Huai's comfort and regret. This Quejiao Daqi belonged to Qin Xuebing, and Qin Xuebing also said that he would not sell fifty treasures.

"Qin Xuebing, how do you think of our relationship?" Ye Zijing's mind was spinning quickly, and she immediately thought of playing the emotional card.

Qin Xuebing and Ye Zijing have been having more than two years of laughter and beating and scolding, and they should be considered good friends. But he knows better that once he tells the truth, it is equivalent to falling into Ye Zijing's sugar-coated trap. He will have to lie to keep the bottom line and keep the Qujiao Daqi, and then set out towards the goal of gathering fifty Zhens: "Not good!"

"Qin Xuebing, I misread you." Ye Zijing raised her tone in dissatisfaction, almost saying that Qin Xuebing had no conscience.

"Beautiful girl Ye, just spare me." Qin Xuebing smiled bitterly. He finally had a collection goal, so he couldn't just die like this, right?

"Qin Xuebing, everything is easy to discuss."

Ye Zijing changed into a sweet voice that was so sweet that it was so fucking: "Don't you like Fifty Zhens? I can exchange Fifty Zhens with you. If you exchange a few, you won't suffer any losses."

"If you don't change it, it will be hard to get it if you missed the Great Qi Tongbao. There is only one missing corner Daqi." Qin Xuebing was so sweet that he got goosebumps, but he still shook his head firmly. If he missed the Great Qi, it almost meant that it would be impossible to gather fifty treasures together.

"Switch, or not?" Ye Zijing's magic claws were quietly placed on Qin Xuebing's waist. It seemed that the beauty could not make a plan and wanted to play a good show of Yu Ji's farewell to the overlord.

"If you don't change, you won't change it if you die."

Qin Xuebing acted as if his head could cut off blood and could flow, but he could not lose his horns. However, when Ye Zijing urged the Nine Yin White Bone Claws, he screamed in a spineless manner, but he still sticks to the bottom line: "Even if you pull off a piece of my flesh, you will never change it."

Ye Zijing stopped. What else could she say when facing this soft and hard hob meat that is not eaten?

Qin Xuebing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Beautiful girl Ye, in fact, you can't help but want to get the missing corner Daqi."

Ye Zijing's eyes lit up: "Say, what are the conditions?"

Qin Xuebing smiled even more: "It's very simple. If you marry me, or if I marry you, then Qujiao Daqi will be yours."

"Go to death." Ye Zijing gave her a flying kick.

"Xiao Qin, my bei is not bad either."

Qian Zhengtai was not serious, but Qian Beibei cooperated to give him a charming look: "Qin Xuebing, I want to be good-looking and have a figure, so it's not bad."

Qin Xuebing almost choked, but he had experience of being teased before and reacted much faster. He immediately said, "Of course, beauties, go get a certificate from me with your household registration book."

Qian Beibei said angrily: "You'd better die."

"Xiao Qin, are you really not considering taking action?"

Ouyang Zhanjun was naturally very moved: "If you want, I can pay five million."

"Brother Ouyang San, this is not a matter of money."

The missing corner Daqi has never been passed on the market, and its price is difficult to measure with money. In the eyes of ordinary players, a copper coin is no matter how precious it is, at most it is millions, but in the eyes of people you like, even tens of millions are worth it: "To be honest, my first collection goal is to collect fifty treasures, so it will not be transferred no matter what."

"Collection of fifty treasures, you really dare to think about it." Qian Beibei still rolled his eyes. Qian Zhengtai worked hard for decades and only collected 31 kinds, and the Palace Museum did not collect them. Qin Xuebing's goal was destined to be a fantasy.

"It's hard to say. Xiao Qin can even meet the missing corners of the big Qi. His luck is absolutely amazing. Maybe he will collect it one day."

Ouyang Zhanjun did not force himself, and turned to Qin Xuebing and said, "Third brother, I wish you good luck and gather fifty treasures as soon as possible, so that I can open my eyes to the next time."

"Brother Ouyang San, there must be a chance." Qin Xuebing was still full of confidence. He believed that things were done by others and that one day would be the case.

"Xiao Qin, I have a heartless request, and I hope you can agree."

Qian Zhengtai said again: "In a few days, I want to hold a relatively large exchange meeting in Sifang Pavilion. I hope you can bring Qujiao Daqi here."

"Boss Qian, it's so scheming." Ouyang Zhanjun immediately understood that the birth of Quejiao Daqi is of great significance to the collection industry. Qian Zhengtai wanted to use Quejiao Daqi to advertise Sifang Pavilion to accumulate popularity.

"Doing this will also be beneficial to Xiao Qin." Qian Zhengtai said that he will invite top appraisal experts from favorites to attend. At that time, they can ask these experts to issue appraisal certificates for Qujiao Daqi, which is equivalent to rectifying the name of Qujiao Daqi.

This is of great significance to Qujiao Daqi, because in recent years, many people have claimed to have the complete Daqi Tongbao online, but there is no official statement, and most people think it is fake. Currently, the only recognized Daqi Tongbao is Qujiao Daqi and Four-eyed Daqi.

But, Qin Xuebing's big Qi Tongbao is still a lost missing corner big Qi. If there is no appraisal certificate from top experts, no one would dare to believe it if it is taken out.

Moreover, this is also an opportunity for Qin Xuebing. He can show off his face by using the Great Qi Tongbao to meet more people in the circle, and he may get benefits in the future.

"It's okay to use the missing corners to communicate, but I won't participate." Although Qin Xuebing also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know more friends in the circle, he still made a rational choice.

The reason is nothing special. According to Qian Zhengtai's idea, he might attract reporters, and then he can be exposed and directly on TV and newspapers. It will not be easy to find a bargain in Panjiayuan in the future.

This is like the experts of folk treasure hunting programs. As long as they ask for a price in Panjiayuan, the other party will definitely think it is a treasure and raise the price: "There will be entrusted to Sifang Pavilion first, which will also make Boss Qian enjoy it."

Qian Zhengtai was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "Aren't you afraid that I will be greedy?"

"How could Boss Qian be such a person?" Qin Xuebing smiled faintly. He was not worried at all. If anyone dared to greed for his things, he would wait for the revenge of Qimen's secret technique.

Moreover, the place he lives now is too simple and is not suitable for storing valuable items like Quejiao Daqi. It is better to store them in Sifang Pavilion first.

"Although I have already seen the antique industry, who doesn't want to keep the baby for a few more days? It seems that I have to postpone the exchange meeting."

Qian Zhengtai laughed unscrupulously and said, "However, Quejiao Daqi appears in this pile of copper coins, it is still a mystery. Xiao Qin, you should visit Sister Liu again and ask her ancestors what the relationship has with Dai Xu, or whether their ancestors have bought Dai Xu's house. If these can be verified, Quejiao Daqi will be more convincing and can further increase Quejiao Daqi's value."

"Okay, I'll visit two old people tomorrow."

Qin Xuebing agreed very much. The inheritance is orderly. The clearer the inheritance, the higher the value of the antique: "Next, let's talk about how to deal with this pair of copper coins."

Compared with the Quejiao Daqi, the value of this pile of copper coins plummeted, and all of them were not worth half a Quejiao Daqi, but there were still many fine products among them, which were very popular among Ye Zijing, Ouyang Zhanjun and Qian Zhengtai, and finally sold more than 600,000 yuan.

With more than 600,000, plus the previous 800,000, Qin Xuebing had another 1.5 million, and returned to the ranks of millionaires.

But when he came out of Pan Jiayuan and saw Ouyang Zhanjun’s Hummer car, Qin Xuebing was speechless: “It’s actually a military version of Hummer. My 1.5 million is probably enough to buy an engine. I’m poor.”

Indeed, a street sign in Beijing can kill a rich man if it falls, and a single apartment can only be purchased for one million.

When Ouyang Zhanjun saw Qin Xuebing's eyes shining, he couldn't help but feel moved. He asked with a smile: "Xiao Qin, what do you think of this car?"

The beautiful man with a car, there is no man who doesn’t want these two types. Qin Xuebing dreamed of owning such a powerful off-road vehicle: “It’s very cool, very cool.”

"If you like it, drive this car back. I have a Lamborghini sports car at home, and I will give it to you." Ouyang Zhanjun smiled happily. In order to lack the corner, he was ready to spend all his money.

Hummer off-road vehicles and Lamborghini sports cars will definitely not insult the value of Quejiao Daqi. How could Qin Xuebing not be moved?

However, whether it is a Hummer off-road vehicle or a Lamborghini sports car, you can buy it if you have money, but can you buy the missing corner Daqi with money?

There is only one big horn in the world. Even if there is a big treasure, there are only two big treasures in the world that are recognized and cannot be bought by money.

Ouyang Zhanjun also had the same idea. The off-road vehicle and sports car were gone. He just needed to fill out a check and someone would send a new one. However, this one was missing. If he missed it, he would never have the chance to own it.

"There will be bread, and there will be milk." Qin Xuebing recited silently. He has the vital energy sensor antique and the jade pen to identify the year. Do you still need to worry about not being able to afford a good car?

Soon, Qin Xuebing suppressed the resounding temptation and joked: "No, these two brands of cars are too slutty and do not match my personality."

"You boy..." Ouyang Zhanjun was amused and crying. Isn't this calling him a slut?

"Who asked you to play Quejiao Daqi?" Qin Xuebing was very determined. If he wanted to collect all fifty treasures, Quejiao Daqi was indispensable and had to withstand all temptations.

"Forget it, don't talk about this, so as not to be angry with you."

Ouyang Zhanjun laughed and cursed, whispering: "There is an underground ghost market next week. Are you interested?"

"I've been to the ghost market, but what is the underground ghost market?"

The ghost market emerged during the Republic of China. Every time the "market" day, antique vendors from all over the country started setting up stalls in the middle of the night, while Taobao users came to search for treasure with lanterns. In such an environment, the figures of treasure hunters were swaying like ghosts, so the saying of ghost market was created.

However, for various reasons, from the 1950s to the mid-1980s, the ghost market almost disappeared, and it was not until the 1980s that it rekindled and gradually flourished.

However, most of the ghost markets in the Republic of China sold old goods, and now the antique markets sold imitations. Only the real antique experts who have experienced many battles will not be scared away by the various fakes.

"It's similar to the ghost market, with a mixture of fish and dragons, but in comparison, there should be more good things, and there are many unearthed objects."

There are seven or eighteen dozen antiques in the world that were dug out by tomb robbers, but not all unearthed objects are illegal. To be precise, the boundaries should be drawn by time and place.

In terms of time, it is legal before liberation, and it is illegal after liberation, and the state has the right to accept it. However, if it is dug out on its own homestead, it belongs to its own homestead. Of course, it depends on the situation when digging antiques in the homestead. If the tomb is underground, it will naturally belong to the state.

"Isn't it enough to just talk about illegal activities?" Qin Xuebing was not angry. He didn't think that the unearthed in Ouyang Zhanjun was unearthed before liberation, otherwise he wouldn't have to mysteriously build an underground ghost market.

"I find it boring to talk to you guys."
