Fat Liu said with a little smile: "These are all researchers in the Bronze Research Institute of our old man, let Xiao Han pull to help, all friends can't shirk it, I hope Boss Hou won't be surprised!" ”

"Ha Luha, what's so strange about this? How difficult are we to buy things? "Hou Mingdong called Ha Lu Ha and asked Han Peacock to let them in.

When he walked into the courtyard, Fat Liu squeezed to Han Peacock's side and whispered, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?" This Hou family brother is not a good stubble, many people who traded with him have suffered losses, although there is no accurate news coming out, but you should have heard of their brother's character. ”

"It's fine, as long as their stuff is right." Han Peacock has long been wary, so he is not too worried, it is a big deal to break up in two.

When they entered the house, the Hou brothers poured tea and water again, and such enthusiasm made Fat Liu restless.

Han Peacock gave Fat Liu a comforting look, telling him to calm down for a while, and he said to Hou Mingxi: "There are many of us, so it's not good to disturb many people here, why don't we take a look at things first?" After all, there are so many things that you can't finish for a while, so it's better to start early. ”

"Brother Han is really refreshing, then forgive the brother for not being well entertained, please here." Saying that, Hou Mingdong let Han Peacock and them into a side room.

There seemed to be an elevator in the corner of the side room, Hou Mingdong opened it, Han Peacock and the others all sat on it, and soon went down to a basement.

The basement was brightly lit, and on the Bogu shelves, there were knife coins, and the entire basement was full of knife coins. This immediately made the people brought by Fat Liu excited.

These people are all researchers from the laboratory of the old man of the Fat Liu family, and the direction of their research is ancient bronzes, so they are naturally no strangers to knife coins, and they will never make mistakes in simple knife coin identification.

"Let's talk about the price first, shall we? As long as the price is right, these experts you invite can be directly boxed after the identification. Hou Mingdong looked at the stunned crowd proudly.

Han Peacock casually watched the knife coins, the patina of these knife coins was very natural, there was absolutely no trace of alkali bite, and it didn't look like it was old. The manufacturing process is also exquisite.

Although I didn't look closely. But these knife coins are not much different from those that Hou Mingxi brought to the antique street.

The sword coins here are obviously divided into three regions, which should be divided according to the Three Kingdoms of Zhao Qiyan.

Among the bronze coins of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the knife-shaped coin was a large type. The main countries of use are Zhao, Qi and Yan. The three countries use different shapes of knife coins. It's easy to distinguish.

The characteristic of the Zhao knife is that the blade is thin and straight, also known as the "straight knife", and the characters are mostly "Gandan", "white", "white", "white", "Gandan" and other words.

The blade of the Qi knife is wide and heavy. It is one of the most exquisite sword coins in the Warring States Period, the sharp and thin ring is large, the blade is wide and the back is thick, there are common "Qi Fahua" three-character knife, "Qi Zhifa" four-character knife, "Anyang's Fahua", "Ink Saving Fa" five-character knife and "Qi Zhuang Gang Chang Fa" six-character knife, most of the ornaments on the back are symbols, and there are also one or two words.

The quality of the Yan knife coin is between the Qi knife and the Zhao knife, because the Yan knife is commonly known as a large seal "Ming" inscription, so it is commonly known as "Yan Ming knife", or "Ming knife".

Yanming knives are divided into early and late periods, the early knife back is rounded, and the late knife back is square, which is the distinguishing mark of the two periods.

There are many types here, including Qi knife, Jimo knife, Anyang knife, needle knife, sharp knife, round knife and Ming knife.

These bronze knife coins are not heirlooms as Hou Mingxi said, a large part of them were unearthed in Shengkeng, but although these were unearthed in Shengkeng, they are also old, and these can be distinguished from the rust color of the bronze.

Shengkeng bronzes can be divided into two kinds from the rust color: one is the raw pit that has just been unearthed or unearthed for a long time, the main feature is that the rust color on the surface is relatively "tender" and "floating", and the color is relatively pure and bright.

Another kind of raw pit has been unearthed for a long time, but it has not been rubbed by manipulation, and the rust color on the surface is wrapped by a layer of pulp, and the color is deep and dark.

These bronze coins clearly fall into the latter category, and although they are a bit dull because they have not been manipulated, each one of them is in good condition.

Just a simple glance, Han Peacock knew that the owner of the collection of these knife coins was absolutely attentive.

Every knife coin here is placed in a very orderly manner, and the place where the swallow knife is placed is all Yan knife, and the place where the Qi knife is placed is all Qi knife.

Each knife coin has a clear division, which makes Han Peacock look convenient.

Referring to the catalog provided by Hou Mingdong, Han Peacock roughly browsed the knife coins in this room, and the knife coins here were exactly the same as the information provided by Hou Mingdong.

"How? Are you satisfied? Hou Mingdong said with a smile.

Han Peacock calculated a little and said: "The thing is very good, but the price is a bit inflated, just like a Ming knife, is it a little expensive according to two thousand yuan?" ”

Fat Liu, who was carefully inspecting a straight knife, heard it and immediately said: "It's not a little expensive, it's very expensive, and the general square folding knife only costs five hundred yuan to reach the sky." ”

Hou Mingdong was not annoyed when he heard this, nor did he refute it, but Ha Lu Ha Da Lu said with a smile: "We are all people in the industry, and I don't tell lies, just according to what you said, as long as the square folding knife is in good condition, all of them are counted as five hundred, and the round folding knife is counted as two thousand, right?" The price of 350,000 yuan for a set of word knives is not high, right? If we agree, we can start validating the transaction. ”

"Yes, Brother Liu, you calculate the value, and the others will help you do an appraisal." Han Peacock said.

Hou Mingdong said: "Happy, I have our old man's collection records here, the source of each knife coin in this room is recorded very clearly, if you don't believe it, you can check it, so"

Of course, it is better to have this thing, after all, it is born and pitted, if there is a clear inheritance, Han Peacock will save a lot of trouble: "Boss Hou is interesting enough, in this way, if there is any objection to the price, it will be calculated according to the highest price." ”

"Okay, so we won't have a problem with business this time." Hou Mingdong said happily.

Han Peacock does not care about the price, then this business is easy to talk about, just like the Ming knife, is the most common kind of knife coin, now the square knife is the main, the round knife is less, the price of the square knife is now about 500 yuan, the round knife is about 2000.

Such prices fluctuate, not to say that all square folding knives are above 500 yuan, of course, the same is true for round folding knives.

Now Han Peacock doesn't care, these knife coins have a general price, since it is calculated according to the highest price, the value of this batch of knife coins is very easy to calculate.

Soon, with the help of Fat Liu, the price was marked behind the knife coin catalog, although these prices are a bit high, but considering that this is a complete set, the high price is also excusable, after all, so many knife coins, just collecting them, the effort it takes, is not something that ordinary people can stick to.

With the price, the total price is very easy to calculate, calculated three times, the total value of this batch of knife coins is more than 12.38 million points, and if the odds are removed, Hou Mingdong only needs 12.38 million.

Han Peacock recognized this figure, and the deal was negotiated.

"Then inspect the goods! Our people don't do it, your people do the identification, after the identification is completed, our people will pack the boxes, and your people will be responsible for keeping it, no problem, right? Hou Mingdong decided.

Han Peacock said: "No problem, then let's start?" ”

"Let's get started!" Hou Mingdong was very happy that it went so well.

At this time, more than a dozen people brought by Fat Liu played a role, nearly 20,000 knife coins, more than a dozen people appraised, each person had to identify thousands, fortunately, many knife coins were a sight to go, and the high-value ones were not much, and the speed of their identification was not slow.

Ordinary knife coins naturally don't need to be identified by Han Peacock, and all the ones he identified are worth more than 2,000 yuan, and these are more than 1,000 pieces in total.

However, the identification of these thousand pieces took a lot of time, and each Han peacock was first looked at once, and then used the method of sampling to extract half of it for detailed identification, so it took him more than six hours to read it.

Fortunately, most of these knife coins are of the same type, as long as half of them are carefully identified, other similar knife coins can be compared with the ones identified.

If each piece has to be identified in detail, not to mention six hours, even sixty hours, it may not be completed.

This is also because the identification method of bronze is relatively simple, and the value of knife coins is not high after all, and it is not so easy to counterfeit on a large scale.

There are a total of sixteen of them to identify together, if there is a fake in it, how can they draw one, as long as one is identified as problematic, then they have to be careful.

Fortunately, the two brothers Hou Mingdong did not make trouble, Han Peacock identified for six hours, and there was no problem, he could see that every knife coin here was a carefully selected treasure.

This made Han Peacock feel at ease, and because the identification took too long, they had a boxed lunch in the middle.

There's no way, these things haven't completed the transaction, Hou Mingdong and they will definitely not let people take them out.

If Han Peacock and the others leave, no one dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents, so what they have already identified will not be insured, so they can only work overtime to identify as soon as possible.

Han Peacock completed the task, and he began to sample the knife coins that had been identified, so as to eliminate the possibility of being deceived.

It took more than ten hours in total, and by this time, everyone was very tired, but everyone was relieved, after all, there was not a single accident in the whole process.

There are so many knife coins, and there is not a single one with objections, which is enough to show the quality of this batch of knife coins.

Looking at the fourteen iron boxes that were one meter long and fifty centimeters high, Han Peacock felt very excited, but he also saw the excitement of the Hou Mingdong brothers.

"There are too many goods, I don't know how you want to transport them?" Hou Mingdongdao. (To be continued......)
