Sun's reaction startled the female shop assistant.

Her face turned pale, and she stammered, "Brother Sun... these coins... do they really have male and female versions?"

Brother Sun roared, "I spent so much money sending you to learn about this subject, and you don't even recognize a mother coin?!"

Li Weidong almost burst out laughing when he saw this scene.

No wonder the clerk at the recycling shop was so clueless; she turned out to be a mistress being kept hidden away!

Looks like this is going to be interesting!

Before the female shop assistant could speak, Brother Sun pressed her further: "Where are the customers who came with mother money?"

The mother coin of Yuan Shikai silver dollars is a rare item, something that is priceless and unavailable for purchase. If you buy it back, you can make a fortune by reselling it.

Even if you don't resell it, keeping it in the store as a prized possession can greatly enhance the reputation of the recycling industry.

After all, the money that a recycling business makes comes from selling items. The rarer the items they sell, the more it proves the recycling business's strength and the more collectors it can attract.

The female shop assistant's face turned even paler, and she couldn't help but glance at Li Weidong.

Brother Sun looked over as well.

Before he could even speak, Mr. Wang laughed and said, "Mr. Sun, I'm sorry, this customer was kicked out by your staff and came to my shop."

"This Yuan Shikai silver dollar mother coin is mine!"

Then he looked at Li Weidong and said, "Young man, this is some good stuff!"

"To be honest, I've been in the recycling business for half my life, and I've seen Yuan Shikai silver dollar mother coins before, but they were all casting mother coins. Yours is different..."

Boss Wang couldn't hide his excitement: "It's actually a one-in-a-million coin, a real treasure!"

Upon hearing this, Brother Sun's eyes widened instantly: "A mother coin?!"

Of the three types of mother coins, the coin sample has the lowest value, while the cast mother coins are produced in large quantities and are only slightly more valuable than the coin sample.

But master coins are different.

The money used for making the mold was extremely small, yet priceless.

Such a treasure, delivered right to our door, and we were turned away?!

Enraged, Brother Sun slapped the female shop assistant across the face: "You bitch, look what you've done!"

The female shop assistant let out a scream, covered her face, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

She was beautiful, and when she cried, she looked even more pitiful, like a pear blossom in the rain.

But Brother Sun showed no pity whatsoever.

After all, there are plenty of beautiful women, but finding a mother coin that can significantly enhance the reputation of a recycling company is rare.

He said angrily, "You slut, you still have the nerve to cry! I should have never assigned you a position in the first place!"

After saying that, he looked at Li Weidong and said in a flattering tone, "Brother, this mother coin..."

"I want it."

Boss Wang spoke first: "Young man, name your price!"

Brother Sun was not about to give up, and immediately said, "I'll offer 100,000, sell it to me!"

One hundred thousand?

Li Weidong burst out laughing.

They're taking advantage of his lack of expertise!

Mr. Wang laughed too: "Mr. Sun, I'm not trying to be mean, but if you want this mother coin, you should at least show some sincerity!"

"Are the sparrows you raise ignorant, and you ignorant too? Or are you taking advantage of this young man's ignorance and deliberately trying to deceive him?"

Brother Sun blushed and quickly corrected himself, "Brother, I've never dealt with these mother coins before, so I'm not familiar with the market..."

"Come on, you!"

Boss Wang interrupted him directly: "We're all in this business, who are you trying to fool by saying you're not familiar with the market!"

Too lazy to waste any more words, he directly asked Li Weidong, "Brother, this mother coin plus the remaining Yuan Shikai silver dollars, totaling 250,000, are you willing to sell?"

Brother Sun hurriedly raised the price: "I'll offer 260,000, sell it to me!"

Boss Wang glared at him: "You've already kicked everyone out, how dare you compete with me?"

"Brother, sell it to me for 265,000!"

Brother Sun continued to add more.

The two refused to back down and kept raising the price until it reached 300,000.

Brother Sun hesitated for a moment.

Three hundred thousand is not a small amount. If you really want to calculate it, the value of the mother coin itself and the benefits it can bring in the future are actually worth this price.

The problem is, he can't come up with that much money right away...

"Out of money?"

Mr. Wang sneered, "Mr. Sun, if you don't have money, don't compete with others. Instead of wasting time bidding, why don't you go back and properly train your employees!"

"If she knew anything about valuable things, I wouldn't have gotten a chance to snag this mother coin, would I?"

If it weren't for the bidding, this mother coin would probably only be worth around 200,000 yuan, which wouldn't be difficult for Brother Sun.

Now look what happened, he got the free ride.

Li Weidong had thought this mother coin was valuable, but he never expected it to sell for 300,000 yuan.

This is unlike later generations, where even households with 10,000 yuan are rare nowadays; 300,000 yuan is considered an astronomical price.

"Brother, how's it going?"

Boss Wang looked at Li Weidong with eager eyes.

Li Weidong pretended to hesitate for a long time before nodding and saying, "Alright, let's just consider it making friends."

Mr. Wang was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly pulled him toward the bank: "Come on, come on, I'll transfer the money to you right now!"

I was afraid he would change his mind.

Li Weidong laughed: "Wait a minute, I said I'd sell it to you, so it's naturally yours, and I won't go back on my word."

Brother Sun, standing to the side, turned ashen-faced and couldn't help but slap the female shop assistant again, shouting angrily, "You bitch, you're fired!"

"roll!"

The female shop assistant panicked: "Brother Sun, please don't do this! You promised to support me, you can't treat me like this!"

Brother Sun glared at her fiercely: "Screw you! If I had known you were this kind of idiot, would I have even looked at you?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Wang turned around and gloated, "Boss Sun, that young lady didn't do it on purpose. She's been with you for a while, don't be so heartless!"

After saying that, he chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, I should thank your little sweetheart. If it weren't for her, how could I have gotten such a great deal?"

After saying that, he turned to Li Weidong with a fawning look on his face: "Brother, let's go to the bank to transfer the money."

Having watched the spectacle to his heart's content, Li Weidong followed him to the bank.

The bank was not far away. Even after the two had walked quite a distance, they could still hear shouts and pleas for mercy coming from behind them.

Boss Wang sighed: "Old Sun is good at everything, except for his womanizing. He can't resist beautiful women. He'll get himself into trouble sooner or later because of this."

Then he said with relief, "It's all thanks to him, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to buy this mother coin. Brother, where did you get this mother coin?"

Is there anything else?

Li Weidong explained, "This was passed down to me by my maternal grandfather. When my family ran into some trouble and needed money, I thought of lending it out."

This is a perfect opportunity to spread the news through the boss's mouth, and also to distance ourselves from the jar of silver dollars that were unearthed during the foundation digging.

Mr. Wang suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. If you ever find anything good in the future, remember to come to me. The price is negotiable!"

The two chatted all the way to the bank, and 300,000 yuan was quickly transferred to Li Weidong's account.

Li Weidong looked at the numbers on the account and breathed a sigh of relief.

With this money, the company's financial crisis is completely resolved, and now we can relax a bit.

After the transfer was completed, Li Weidong was about to go home when Boss Wang suddenly called him back.

"Hey bro, how about I drive you home?"
