Chapter 6 I have never seen so much money in my life

Mr. Qian took it carefully and opened it one by one.

Then the expression of surprise on his face widened. It was exquisitely crafted, in excellent condition, and indeed from the same period as the ancient jade.

He blurted out, "Why didn't you give it to me this afternoon?"

Chen Jinyue pursed her lips and prepared to make an excuse, but Professor Yan said coldly, "Are you being deceived together with me?"

Mr. Qian, “…”

Damn Old Yan!

We have been friends for most of our lives, and yet you teach your students to be wary of me!

So sad!

But his sadness did not last more than two minutes. He looked at Professor Yan next to him, who was observing the object seriously, then taking a photo and sending it out, and the alarm sounded in his heart.

"Tell me what you think of this bracelet." After sending the photo, Professor Yan suddenly asked Chen Jinyue.

“…”

Chen Jinyue never expected that he would have to take an exam to do business.

She could only briefly explain the appearance and craftsmanship.

Professor Yan nodded. "You're quite right. The appearance is exquisite, and the animal face patterns are carved with gossamer hair, which is of extremely high quality. By the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the hairpin pendant had become primarily a collectible for the royal family and nobles. While its styles varied, it had completely lost its function as a 'shooting tool.'"

He paused for a moment, "But this bracelet is different."

“That’s right!”

Elder Qian continued, his voice clearly less composed than Professor Yan's, his excitement rising uncontrollably. "This hairpin is cylindrical in shape, with the hook groove still in the middle. Look closely here, the wear and tear clearly shows frequent use!"

“It’s not just a decorative accessory; it retains its functionality without compromising on performance!”

When Mr. Qian said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "What kind of era is that, where two advantages can be brought to the extreme at the same time!"

Chen Jinyue, “…”

She knew that this thing was of great significance to the times.

But she is very vulgar and still cares more about how much money it can be exchanged for...

Seeing that she was not interested in this, Professor Yan sighed helplessly.

The two old men then just appreciated the things on their own and exchanged views with each other.

Professor Yan was a teacher, after all, and he remained composed even when he was excited. But Mr. Qian was startled and frightened, and his expression was enough to infer the value of the item.

White jade hairpins are not as valuable as hairpin-shaped pendants.

The wooden door ornaments were picked up and then put down.

As for Jin Ding, they couldn't see his expression.

When it came to the copper coins, Professor Yan's face changed slightly, and Mr. Qian stood up excitedly.

"That era actually had its own coinage technology?!"

“It remains to be verified.”

Professor Yan tried his best to calm him down, but he himself was also very excited.

They originally thought that it was just a small country with a short and brilliant life in the long river of history.

It has its own particularity and great exploration value.

But when they saw the appearance of copper coins, they were greatly shocked.

There is no record of such a country in history?

After a long silence, Elder Qian looked at Chen Jinyue and asked, "Xiaoyue, are these also inherited from your ancestors? Are you sure they are from the same period?"

Chen Jinyue shook his head as usual and threw the question back, "I'm not sure, what do you think?"

Mr. Qian, “…”

He always felt that this little girl was not as simple as she seemed, and she had secrets.

For example, not only are these copper coins well preserved, but this gold ingot is also brand new, as if it was just minted.

But the craftsmanship is indeed similar to the age of other objects...

As Professor Yan said, the copper coin period needs to be verified, and the actual value is indeed not high, so it is only given for two thousand yuan each.

The gold ingots were weighed and found to be of the ten-liang system, worth nine hundred thousand each.

The white jade hairpin is estimated to be worth 1.2 million.

You can’t tell the material of the wooden door costs three thousand yuan.

Mr. Qian looked at it for a long time without daring to speak, and he glanced at Professor Yan from time to time.

"Five million."

Professor Yan saw that he had been silent for a long time, so he suddenly spoke.

Chen Jinyue’s eyes widened.

Old Qian jumped up and down, "Why don't you just go and grab it?! This thing is rare and has great collection value, but even if it's at an auction, it won't..."

"I just sent it to that guy from the Zhou family. He asked me to name a price, but he refused to bargain."

"What does he know? He just has some filthy money! He doesn't bargain when buying things and doesn't even know that he's being taken advantage of! If I were his grandfather, I'd kick him out of the family tree!"

"You're not his grandfather. He bought it as a gift for his grandfather. His grandfather knows history better than anyone else. Are you sure you don't want it?"

“…”

Mr. Qian shut up immediately.

He knew that as long as he said no, the old man would really give it to him.

Following the Zhou family’s lead, nothing from this era will be available on the market anymore.

This price is slightly high, and he is very likely not to make a profit from the difference, but he did keep it conservative for the piece of mutton-fat white jade in front.

Comparing the two, the most important thing was that he estimated that the little girl still had some goods on hand, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Five hundred is five hundred!"

He was about to transfer the money on the spot, but Chen Jinyue stopped him.

"etc!"

"Waiting for what?"

Qian Lao panicked, "You've brought it all here, you're not going to give it out, are you?"

Chen Jinyue shook his head, staring at the wooden door, and asked unwillingly, "Is this ornament only worth three thousand yuan?"

When Mr. Qian heard that she was only dissatisfied with the price of the wooden door, he breathed a sigh of relief. "This thing is made of very strange materials, and it's incomplete. This is a serious flaw. If you like it, keep it as a souvenir. You don't mind spending three thousand yuan."

He didn't like this little thing either, but thought since he was already here, he might as well take it along.

Chen Jinyue felt that what he said made sense, and that she did have a good impression of him, so she took the things back...

After dinner, Chen Jinyue left first.

This time, it was Qian Lao's turn to wear a long face, and he said to Professor Yan in a sarcastic tone, "Decades of friendship are still not as good as a student. I've seen through it all."

Professor Yan remained calm and said, "You won't die if you earn less money, but in her current situation, if she can't pay, she will really die."

The Chen family owed not only banks and distributors, but also a large amount of high-interest loans.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qian sighed helplessly.

It's a sin to be born into a family like that.

But he quickly changed the subject, his voice surprised, "Chen Jianguo, a small business owner in a small county, I didn't expect he had so many good things! And they're so well preserved, without a single layer of dust or oxidation..."

At this point, he suddenly became puzzled, "But these few items are worth tens of millions, why didn't they sell the antiques to pay off their debts before?"

He was so desperate that he gave up his life and came up with a cruel plan to harm his daughter to save his son.

Professor Yan seemed to be thinking about something and was also very confused.

But hearing that Mr. Qian was still chattering about his curiosity, he just answered him casually.

"There might not be any discerning buyers in the county. Don't spread rumors about other people's private affairs."

“What are you talking about! Am I that kind of person?

…

Chen Jinyue tried hard to remain calm in front of the teacher, but as soon as he walked out of the restaurant, the suppressed excitement came out.

I counted the zeros in my bank card several times and my heart beat faster.

She had never seen so much money in her life.

I have to pay taxes as soon as possible tomorrow. By then, I will have paid all the salaries, repaid the bank loan first, and then settled the channel payment.

After calculating this way, it seems that there is nothing left.

It's not enough at all.

There was also some private lending, and, a loan shark.

The loan sharking business has almost grown from one million to three million.

Chen Jinyue didn't want to pay it back because that was the money Chen Jianguo cashed out before his death and left for his wife Chen Jie...

While thinking all the way, Chen Jinyue unknowingly arrived at the gate of the old community.

In the past few days, she had always gone back through the side door, which was closer to the unit door. Today, perhaps because she was carrying a large sum of money, she walked cautiously through the open main door.

Before I got close, I saw several burly men with tattoos on their arms blocking the door of the unit and smoking.

He was still cursing—

"Damn it! Didn't that damn old woman say her granddaughter lives here?"

"You sold so many antiques, but you still won't pay us back. What a guts you have!"

"Don't fucking hit my hand!"
