Chapter 5: Chapter 5 The Worth of Gold Was Five Million Dollars!
"Boss, what's this?"
Xiao Mei asked curiously while driving.
"Xiao Mei, we won the big prize!"
"I found a small box of antique gold coins in the basement."
Xiao Mei was stunned when she heard the gold coins. Apparently, she didn't believe what she had heard.
"Is it copper coins? They are in the same color as gold coins,"
"Go to the pawnshop of Zeiss, Great Intelligence. He is an expert in antiques. He will know after inspection."
Xiao Mei also adjusted her glasses and nodded excitedly, but she still felt that there was no such a good thing in the world.
Although there used to be many antiques in the blind box of house property, they were all furniture and jewelry, and it was the first time that a box of gold coins was opened.
Zeiss, who was called Great Intelligence by the insiders, was one of Lee's few friends.
He ran an ancestral pawnshop. On the one hand, he collected information from all directions, and on the other hand, he did some unknown business.
The reason why the two became good friends was that Lee had helped the bald Zeiss deal with some antique porcelain. Let Zeiss sell the antique he had found at a low price to the customer who knew the goods at a high price.
The people from A country were very patriotic. They would often pay a higher market price to buy back their lost treasures abroad. Lee was a kind-hearted person. He liked this kind of generous customer most. He was proficient in foreign languages and could make friends with tourists even if they talked a little.
Noticing Lee's wink, Zeiss immediately grasped his meaning and took the two to the back of the pawnshop.
"Lee, my brother, do you have something good?"
"Of course. Look at this."
Then Lee took out a golden coin from his pocket.
Great Intelligence, Zeiss sniffed the smell of ancient at once, his eyes wide open, said surprisingly.
"Oh my God! Lee, look, what have you found?"
"That's an 8 escudos Spanish gold coin!"
The two were still confused. However, when they saw the excited look on bald Zeiss's face, their hearts rose.
Excited, Zeiss told himself the origin of the gold coins.
"This is gold mined from Peru by the Spanish. Dated back to 1685~1751, it is a real antique gold coin with a long history!"
"The Spanish forced the slaves to mine gold in South America under extremely cruel conditions. It's not too much to say that these gold coins have witnessed that miserable history."
"This gold coin you showed me weighs 27 grams. It's just the weight of one ounce. It's of good workmanship and its surface is neat. It's very collectible!"
"Did I find the treasure?"
Xiao Mei couldn't help but ask, "Sir, how much is this gold coin worth?"
"According to the latest gold price, one ounce of gold is about 1780 dollars."
"Wait!" Lee's face darkened at once. He couldn't help cursing, "Fuck, Great Intelligence, you even tricked me. The antique was sold at the price of ordinary gold by you."Seeing that Lee was really angry, Zeiss apologized in a hurry, "Ha-ha, I was so excited that I made an old mistake. The market price of this gold coin is about 17,000 dollars. How about I buy it at 13,000 dollars?"
"13,888 dollars!"
"Okay, deal!"
"I'll get you money now."
"Wait, Zeiss, do you have 5 million dollars?"
Zeiss's face became serious, he asked earnestly,
"Lee, I've heard about what happened to your family. If you want to borrow money, 1 million dollars is okay. You know that I run a chain pawnshop. If I don't have enough money, I may..."
"No, no, brother, you don't understand what I mean. I mean I have a lot of such gold coins."
It was Zeiss's turn to be stunned. He was stunned and asked in disbelief, "How many more gold coins do you have?"
When Lee carried a box of gold coins to the shop, Zeiss closed the door directly.
Seeing a box of gold coins in front of him, Zeiss said in a trembling voice,
"Oh, my God! Fuck, did you rob the Spanish treasury?"
Zeiss put on his gloves and carefully put the gold coins into the weighing machine.
"260 ounces!"
It was the first time that Zeiss, who had been managing a pawnshop with his grandfather at the age of five, had seen so many gold coins.
Each of them was exquisitely made with historical traces.
"Well, buddy, can you buy all the gold coins?"
"That's too much, but I can help you find a suitable buyer. The business is business, you have to give me 10% of the commission."
"And your suitcase is also good. Can you pawn it for me?"
As soon as he said this, Lee knew what Zeiss's idea was and didn't respond immediately.
With a magnifying glass in his hand, Zeiss observed the workmanship of the suitcase carefully and said with uncertainty.
"The workmanship of the suitcase doesn't seem to be the product of the European era. The engraved patterns and their color are even more ancient."
"Lee, how about putting the suitcase here? Don't worry. I'll go back and read a book, asking my father about the origin of the suitcase. If I can sell it, I want 10% of the commission as usual."
According to the hint, the value of the suitcase couldn't exceed the total value of gold coins. Besides, he and Zeiss were old friends. The security of the pawnshop was perfect, so Lee felt relieved.
