239: Sky-high silver dollar

Zhang Jun looked at Yang Qi and smiled, nodding slightly, seemingly very satisfied with his performance.

When negotiating, one should always hold the initiative.

Now, I have only one stance: if the price is too low, I'll keep them and not sell.

Afterward, Yang Qi, Bai Xue, and Zhang Jun left the living room, giving the space to the others to discuss the price.

Half an hour later, General Cao came out and called the three of them back.

After the three came in, Yang Qi held a piece of paper with the silver dollar quotes written on it, which seemed to be the final offer these people had discussed.

Among them, the highest prices were "Zhang Zuolin's Grand Marshal of Land, Sea, and Air" at 18 million, "Xuantong One Yuan Long-Bearded Dragon" at 15.8 million, "Yuan Shikai's Flying Dragon Signed Edition" at 12 million, "Shouzi Double Dragon" at 12 million, and "Sun Zhongshan's Sailboat with Three Birds Below" at 7 million.

The remaining five pieces also ranged from tens of thousands to several million.

Roasted Egg Sea and The Expert at Qiaozuiquan had not seen the silver dollar, valued at only about 1,000 yuan, that Yang Qi took out during the live broadcast.

Therefore, both of them suspected that Yang Qi still had more hidden treasures, but neither of them said anything.

Now it was Yang Qi and his group's turn to hold a small meeting.

"These two, they truly live up to their reputation as industry chameleons; the prices they've set are incredibly tight. Compared to the auction prices we found online, they're neither too high nor too low."

"Husband, I'll listen to you. You decide."

"No, Yang Qi, are these things really worth so much?"

Zhang Jun was a bit shocked today. He really hadn't expected it! These small silver dollars could be worth so much money.

"Of course! They're expensive because they're rare."

Yang Qi said as a matter of course.

"Then don't sell all of them to them later. I'll also buy two to pass on to my son."

Zhang Jun said hastily.

"Don't rush, I still have a few hidden. Brother Jun, if you want some, how could I not give you any?"

Yang Qi said.

After a brief exchange, the few of them returned to the living room.

"Good! Both teachers are idols I admire greatly, and these bosses are friends of my Brother Jun. I agree to this price."

Yang Qi said very straightforwardly.

"Can you guys leave me two good ones so I can take them home to admire?"

Zhang Jun suddenly said to everyone.

If anyone else had said this, some of those present might have scoffed at him. Things worth hundreds of thousands to tens of millions, and he wanted to keep two to take home and admire.

However, ever since they learned about Zhang Jun's identity, they also knew his capabilities, and if they angered him, he might buy all of them.

So, they all pretended not to hear and quickly proceeded to "distribute the spoils" according to the agreed-upon ownership of the silver dollars.

Only Boss Cao, who had a better relationship with him, retorted:

"You can forget it. If you want them, ask your younger brother Yang. Would he not sell them to you?"

"Ahem, Brother Jun, they are guests who have come a long way, and you don't even like these things. Let's give them to the guests!"

Yang Qi coughed and said.

The few of them must have just finished discussing the ownership of these silver dollars, as Yang Qi's phone quickly received several messages.

They were all payment confirmation messages. Yang Qi checked them, and indeed, these people had divided all ten silver dollars among themselves.

He received a total of 68.54 million yuan.

It truly is as the saying goes: "A horse doesn't get fat without night grass; a man doesn't get rich without ill-gotten gains."

After the transaction was completed, everyone was very happy. At Zhang Jun's suggestion, they all went out for a short trip on the sea and returned.

Everyone boarded the setting sail, originally intending for those who rarely go to sea to experience the beauty of the ocean.

However, it turned out that The Expert at Qiaozuiquan and a boss from Hangzhou were simply unable to enjoy it.

The two, suffering from seasickness, started vomiting uncontrollably shortly after boarding. Half an hour later, the fishing boat had to return to port.

At everyone's strong request, lunch was a seafood feast at Yang Qi's house. The Tuna from the freezer was also brought out for entertaining.

Zhang Jun also called Chen Tianming to send over some more seafood, adding to the Crab, Spiny Lobster, and Grouper from Yang Qi's fish tank.

A seafood feast left all the guests very satisfied.

After the meal, everyone got up to leave. Yang Qi packed some Crab, Spiny Lobster, and Tuna meat for all the guests.

After seeing the guests off, the three returned to the living room. Zhang Jun was still marveling at how such small silver dollars could be so valuable.

"Brother Jun, do you want me to get a few for you?"

Yang Qi said.

"Good!" Zhang Jun nodded.

"If there are more, I'll take these four!"

Zhang Jun pointed to the most expensive ones written on that piece of paper.

Since he didn't understand them anyway, buying the expensive ones couldn't be wrong.

Yang Qi went upstairs and took out the four silver dollars. After thinking for a moment, he also took out two silver dollars worth about thirty to forty thousand yuan, and two engraved old gold bars.

"Brother Jun, take these two silver dollars and old gold bars to play with."

Yang Qi said as he handed the items to Zhang Jun.

"Alright, I won't be polite with you about this!"

Zhang Jun said after some thought. Then he took out his phone and transferred money to Yang Qi, before leaving with the silver dollars.

Zhang Jun drove straight to his father's house. After greeting him, he handed the bag containing the silver dollars to Chairman Zhang.

"Hey, if these silver dollars are real, they're quite extraordinary!"

Chairman Zhang looked at them for a while, then looked up at his son and said. It seemed he knew much more about antiques than Zhang Jun.

"Dad, it's like this..."

Zhang Jun recounted the events of that morning in detail.

"Two professionals have seen them, so there shouldn't be any mistake. Yang Qi is indeed a person of great fortune."

"These two gold bars of yours are also old gold bars from the Republic of China era. They are also good items, likely obtained by him in the same batch."

"I estimate Yang Qi must have encountered a great opportunity at sea."

"How about this, I think he should still have more items. Go and help me buy some more. These treasures can be passed down through generations. The price should be the normal price."

"If he has anything difficult to deal with, and if it's appropriate, you can also help him out."

Zhang Jun nodded and said:

"Okay, I understand. I'll ask him later."

"This kid, he's truly remarkable. How long has it been? In the future, he will certainly not be an ordinary person."

Chairman Zhang sighed.

Zhang Jun first returned home, locked the silver dollars and gold bars in his safe, and then called Yang Qi.

Upon learning that Old Master Zhang wanted them, Yang Qi didn't hesitate and told Zhang Jun to come and pick them up anytime. However, he asked him to bring an appraiser along.

The two discussed it, and Yang Qi called Roasted Egg Sea, troubling him to come again to help with the appraisal. Who else was closer?

Teacher Hai Dong, who had just arrived home a short while ago, looked at the seafood in the refrigerator and readily agreed.

About two hours later, Teacher Hai Dong returned to Yang Qi's house, appraised the thirteen silver dollars one by one again, and clearly marked their values.

Finally, after several attempts to refuse, he could only accept Zhang Jun's 100,000 commission and left.
