UGB Chapter 1161: Too Expensive
Chapter 1161: Too Expensive
Before long, Su Xing finished his work.
She shut down her computer and got up to get dressed.
Su Xing's gaze fell on Zhang Caifeng, and she noticed that Zhang Caifeng hadn't touched the snacks.
Why aren't you eating? Don't you like these flavors?
These snacks were all produced by "Xiangqu". She had taken some to her dorm room a few times, and her roommates had given her positive feedback.
Zhang Caifeng said, "I ate a lot for lunch, so I'm not hungry yet."
"That's it."
Su Xing finished dressing, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and said, "Let's go."
"Oh well."
Zhang Caifeng agreed and stood up properly.
Su Xing glanced at Zhang Caifeng, and felt that something was off about her.
After the two left the studio and went downstairs, Zhang Caifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Xing asked her, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Caifeng said, "The people in your building all have such an elite air about them, it makes me a little nervous."
Su Xing laughed and said, "Actually, it depends on the company. Some companies may have more serious business, so the employees will dress more formally. Some companies don't need to meet clients often, or the employees are mostly young, so the atmosphere is more relaxed. For example, our studio is more casual, and the employees come to work dressed in all sorts of ways."
Zhang Caifeng said, "Is that so..."
She hadn't even bothered to check how many people were in Su Xing's studio, and she'd even forgotten what the boy who opened the door for her was wearing.
When the two arrived at the parking lot, Su Xing unlocked the car and called to Zhang Caifeng, "Get in the car."
Actually, taking the subway is more convenient to get to Panjiayuan.
However, Su Xing felt that if they found some good deals at Panjiayuan, driving would be safer than taking the subway.
Zhang Caifeng sat in the passenger seat of Su Xing's car and fastened her seatbelt.
Su Xing started the car.
She asked Zhang Caifeng, "What kind of music would you like to hear?"
Zhang Caifeng: "I'm open to listening to anything."
Su Xing thought for a moment and then started playing Ye Xitang's songs.
Upon hearing the familiar melody, Zhang Caifeng relaxed completely.
Ever since she went to Ye Xitang's concert with Su Xing and the others, she has become a complete fan of Ye Xitang.
It's so wonderful to have a roommate who is friends with your favorite celebrity!
The two listened to music and chatted casually.
Zhang Caifeng doesn't know much about cars, and she doesn't recognize many of the car logos, but she feels that Su Xing's car is quite understated.
She casually asked, "Su Xing, how much is your car?"
Su Xing said, "About three million."
Zhang Caifeng was shocked, “…So expensive!”
She thought the car was worth at most a few hundred thousand...
Su Xing said, "This car was ordered by He Xu. I didn't originally plan to buy such an expensive car."
Zhang Caifeng thought to herself: But you must have the means to buy it to have the confidence to do so, right?
If it were her, she wouldn't dare accept such a luxury car as a gift either!
The two first went to a fairly large bookstore and browsed around inside.
Finally, they each bought a few books and left the bookstore satisfied.
After they got back on the bus, they headed straight for Panjiayuan.
When they were almost there, Su Xing found a parking space, parked the car, and the two of them got out.
Today is Sunday, and Panjiayuan is bustling with people setting up stalls and tourists.
Su Xing and Zhang Caifeng blended into the crowd and strolled around leisurely.
Zhang Caifeng paid more attention to stalls selling ancient coins, while Su Xing looked at everything.
The two wandered around for over an hour without finding anything.
Zhang Caifeng sighed, "None of them are even remotely decent..."
She considered herself a complete novice; with her discerning eye, she could tell those things were obviously fake, mass-produced new goods.
An old man next to me chuckled and chimed in, "These days, over 99.9% of the items in Panjiayuan Market are antique replicas. There's no way you can find any real bargains."
Young people these days always have unrealistic fantasies.
Su Xing raised his hand and touched his nose.
She silently thanked the system for the luck points it had awarded her.
[Host, don't be so polite. Those are all rewards you deserve.]
When Su Xing heard the system speak to him in such a serious tone again, he couldn't help but smile.
Zhang Caifeng smiled at the old man but didn't say anything.
She wasn't there with the intention of finding a bargain; she just wanted to see if there were any antique coins that weren't too obviously fake, to collect as props.
Su Xing pulled Zhang Caifeng, "Come on, let's go take a look over there."
The two continued walking and came to a stall.
This stall sells items with characteristics of the Qing Dynasty.
Next to a pen holder, there was a pile of copper coins.
The two squatted down.
Zhang Caifeng began rummaging through the pile of copper coins.
Su Xing glanced at the copper coins and felt that some of them looked quite real.
She flipped through it herself and indeed felt a sense of familiarity.
She wasn't very surprised; in fact, there are quite a few genuine Qing Dynasty copper coins on the antique market.
However, even if they are genuine, most of the ordinary circulating copper coins from the Qing Dynasty are not very valuable.
For example, a genuine Qianlong Tongbao coin is worth about 20 yuan, a Jiaqing Tongbao about 30 yuan, a Daoguang Tongbao about 10 yuan, a Xianfeng Tongbao for about 50 yuan, a Kang Kang Tongbao about 80 yuan, a Tongzhi Tongbao about 150 yuan, a Shunzhi Tongbao about 200 yuan, and a Yongzheng Tongbao about 1000 yuan.
Special edition copper coins from the Qing Dynasty are slightly more valuable, but the price range for these coins is also quite large, ranging from 200 yuan to 2000 yuan.
For example, the "田" character "隆" is worth about 200 yuan, the "缶" character "隆" is worth about 300 yuan, and the "正" character "隆" is worth about 2000 yuan. Because of the special way the character "隆" is written, there are fewer of them in existence than the ordinary version, and they have a certain premium for collectors.
In addition, there are rare editions and large-format prints. A regular edition from Baotai Bureau costs around three or four hundred yuan, while a large-format print with a diameter of over 26 mm can reach six or seven hundred yuan, and a large-format print in regular script can reach more than 2000 yuan.
The most valuable items are, of course, mother coins and master dies. For example, the Qixiang Zhongbao master die that Su Xing once found was sold to Shen Bai for two million after taxes.
The stall where Su Xing and Zhang Caifeng are currently located mainly sells ordinary circulating copper coins. Even among the ordinary coins, many are fake. Whether you can find a few genuine ones depends on the buyer's eyesight and luck.
Zhang Caifeng examined each one very carefully.
Su Xing asked the stall owner, "Boss, how much do you sell all these copper coins for?"
The stall owner, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, casually said, "One hundred each, pick whatever you like."
Upon hearing the price quoted by the stall owner, Zhang Caifeng quickly put down the few copper coins she was holding.
She is, after all, a student majoring in cultural heritage and museology, and has recently read many books on ancient coins, so she has a certain understanding of the collectible value of some coins.
Even if all the copper coins on this stall are real, most of them aren't worth a hundred dollars!
Su Xing smiled and said to the stall owner, "One hundred is too expensive, boss. Ten yuan a piece, let's pick some."
