1093. Reckoning (2/5)
Knowing that these silver coins had been in existence for a century and a half, and that they had been used in circulation in the Far East Asia, treasure hunters were eagerly eyed to find such antiques to be valuable.
However, Li Du checked that the value of American trade silver coins was not very large, because the circulation was large at that time, especially after 1873.
Beginning in 1873, in order to compete for trade in the Far East and seize the silver dollar market of the Mexican Eagle Ocean in the Far East, Congress decided to increase the silver content of the silver dollar, which was loved by Qing Dynasty merchants.
At that time, there were a large number of trading silver dollars circulating around the world, and antiques were rare and valuable, and when they were no longer scarce, they were less valuable.
U.S. trade silver coins from 1873 onwards are now five or six hundred dollars each, and fortunately, four of the more than a dozen silver coins that Li Du obtained were produced in 1866.
The 1866 silver coin is small in existence, but it is not scarce, so it is also not very valuable, worth 1,500 pieces at most.
The treasure collectors saw a silver coin from 1866, which was valued at 1,500 yuan by the knowledgeable treasure collector.
Knowing this price, the group was a little surprised, they thought that Li Du could find something worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but they didn't expect it to be worth about 15,000 yuan.
For ordinary treasure pickers, the income of 15,000 yuan is not low, but they have extraordinary expectations for Li Du, thinking that Li Du will have to make a big news no matter what he does.
Li Du didn't care what they thought, he held the silver coin in his hand and smiled at the Führer.
The Führer said coldly: "Very proud, but you only got more than 10,000 yuan." ”
Li Du said: "It's better than you guarding a pile of garbage, right?"
The Führer said strongly: "Fake, Lao Tzu's warehouse is very valuable, and there must be good things in it!"
Li Du laughed and said, "Who told you? Who gave you the confidence? To say these words, it takes either a lot of courage or stupidity, which one are you?"
Führer's angry middle finger, indeed, who gave him the confidence that made him think that the warehouse was worth a lot?
His face was pale, and he had already admitted in his heart that he had missed this time.
Li Du continued to worry about the silver coins, which collided with each other with a crisp sound.
In this way, he looked at the Führer and said with interest: "Why don't we make a deal like this, how about I exchange the silver coins for this gun of yours?"
His purpose was this taser that had never appeared on the market.
As soon as he said this, the Führer became vigilant, and instead of agreeing or refusing, he began to disassemble the gun.
He thought that since Li Du wanted to get this gun, there must be a reason, and this gun might have something unique that he didn't find.
In the Führer's heart, Li Du has become a gold hand.
But he searched the gun carefully, and almost disassembled it into parts, and found nothing new.
This gun is not made of gold, nor is it inlaid with diamonds, it is just an ordinary radio gun, which can be sold for 5,000 yuan at most when it enters the market.
So the question is, why does Li Du want to get it?
The Führer looked at Li Du suspiciously, Li Du guessed his thoughts from his gaze, and immediately laughed: "It's not valuable, it's just that it's not bad, it can be used for self-defense, I need a weapon for self-defense." ”
After reconfirming that there was nothing unique about this gun, the Führer quietly found a nail and used the nail to pull it in the chamber a few times.
While fiddling with the chamber of the gun covertly, he looked at Li Du quietly and said, "Are you really willing to exchange silver coins for my gun?"
But he just thought he was hidden, Li Du noticed his small movements, and wanted to take back the silver coin, but he suddenly had a new idea.
In this way, Li Du continued: "Yes, I don't care about money, I just want a self-defense weapon. ”
The Führer nodded, handed the gun to him and said, "Pay the money with one hand and deliver it with the other." ”
Li Du said: "I have to inspect the goods first, if there is a problem with this gun, then I will not trade, I don't want to buy a garbage for 15,000 yuan." ”
The Führer's eyes jumped, and then he said very toughly: "Then don't change it, grind, I hate such a girl the most!"
Seeing that he was about to take the gun back, Li Du stopped him with a smile, handed him the silver coin, and said with a smile: "I hope this gun is okay, otherwise, man, you will be unlucky!"
He smiled all the time, but the smile was somewhat mysterious.
"Of course it's fine, you see, it's brand new. The Führer grinned.
After he got the silver coin, he immediately handed the gun to Li Du, and then turned around and left.
Seeing him leave directly, Li Du felt that something was wrong.
He threw the gun to Brother Wolf and said, "Check." ”
Brother Wolf is a good player with guns, and he has also come into contact with this kind of stun gun, and after a quick inspection, he shook his head and said, "It has been destroyed, and the wiring of the gun chamber has been destroyed." ”
Li Du's face sank, this taser is fine, he has checked it with a small worm before, and the wiring on the chamber is normal.
Unlike machine guns, tasers rely on electricity to generate force damage, and the dart electrodes are connected to the rifle circuit, which can maintain the power of the dart electrodes, and the electrodes are shot out and triggered through the circuits.
So, as soon as there is a problem with the line, the gun is scrapped.
This time it was Li Du's turn to look bad, and the head of state turned around and walked backwards, stretched out his hands and said, "Don't look at me like that, I don't know anything." ”
Li Du pointed at him and said, "Führer, you don't believe in your words, you really disgrace the men of Tucson." ”
The members of the Tucson gang looked just as ugly as he did, and some muttered, "Boss, isn't this okay?"
The Führer said impatiently: "Why is it not good? I haven't used it, how do I know if it can be used or not?"
Li Du sneered: "I really have the face to say this, shame, shame! The marks on the chamber of this gun have obviously just been destroyed!"
Phoenix's treasure hunters let out a scoff, "Shame on you!" "Shame on Tucson!" "You're not just scoundrels, scoundrels, and liars!"
The Tucson Gang was trembling with their popularity, but they had nothing to say.
Brother Wolf dismantled it, and there were scratches in the chamber of the gun, and it could be seen that it was indeed just made.
The Führer saw that something was wrong with his subordinates, he couldn't laugh, glared at Li Du with a gloomy face, waved his hand irritably, and said, "Pack up your things, let's go!"
Li Du looked at the background where he left, and said to Brother Wolf, "Go and see where he lives." ”
Brother Wolf nodded, and Li Du looked at the taser with regret and said, "It's a pity, it's so broken." ”
"It can be fixed. Brother Wolf said, "I can handle the line, no problem." ”
Li Du was immediately overjoyed, then this is really perfect.
He wanted to go with Brother Wolf to track down the Tucson gang, but Hans came to him and said happily, "Come and see, we have found something interesting in our warehouse." ”
