Chapter 1167 Confidence
Shen Bai said, "This knife-shaped coin is most likely genuine."
Su Xing smiled at Zhang Caifeng, "It seems that the god of good fortune has truly favored you."
Zhang Caifeng was stunned for a while before she murmured, "I really didn't expect that I could actually get such a great deal!"
Finding a great bargain at the antique market is more exciting for her than winning the lottery!
Shen Bai asked her with a smile, "Miss Zhang, do you plan to keep these ancient coins for yourself, or are you going to sell them?"
Hearing his words, Zhang Caifeng finally calmed down a bit.
She looked at Su Xing and said, "This knife coin... I originally took it, but after hesitating, I put it down. In the end, you asked me to buy it, so you should have a share too."
Shen Bai raised an eyebrow, glanced at Zhang Caifeng with some surprise, and then looked at Su Xing.
Su Xing said earnestly to Zhang Caifeng, "At the time, I just thought this knife coin was a bit interesting and wanted you to take another look. In the end, it was you who decided to buy it. Once you spend money to buy it, it belongs entirely to you."
Zhang Caifeng was somewhat touched, but still felt uneasy, "But..."
"There's no 'but' about it." Su Xing interrupted her before she could finish speaking, and added, "You can do whatever you want with this knife coin; you don't need to feel guilty."
Zhang Caifeng then looked at Shen Bai.
Shen Bai didn't express any opinion; he just smiled and looked at them.
Zhang Caifeng thought for a moment and said, "I want to sell this knife coin. As for the other ancient coins, I'll keep them for my collection."
These coins were too valuable to her. If she didn't sell them and just kept them in her hands, she would feel restless and unsure of where to hide them. She didn't want to live in constant fear.
When Shen Bai heard Zhang Caifeng say she wanted to sell, he said, "Miss Zhang, if you want to sell this knife coin, would you consider our Treasure Shop? Of course, if our offer is not suitable, you can refuse, don't be embarrassed."
The value of these knife-shaped coins is not significant to him, but he has clients who like to collect ancient coins, which he can use to maintain relationships.
Zhang Caifeng nodded without much hesitation and said, "Sure."
She didn't know any other sales channels. If she were to find a place to sell this knife coin herself, she could only ask around in antique shops. It would be better to sell it at Zhenbaozhai, since Zhenbaozhai is a large shop with a good reputation.
Moreover, since this President Shen can be friends with Su Xing, he must be reliable, right? She trusts Su Xing's judgment in making friends.
Shen Bai said, "Then I'll call the shop's appraiser over to do another appraisal and then give us a price estimate?"
Zhang Caifeng agreed, "Okay, okay."
Shen Bai made an internal call and asked the shop's appraiser to come to the tea room.
Not long after, two appraisers knocked on the door and came in.
One of the appraisers was Master Li, whom Su Xing and Zhang Caifeng had met while strolling around the antique market.
Master Li was also somewhat surprised. Had Miss Su brought something good again? No wonder the young master was so protective of her relationship; Miss Su was truly destined for wealth!
Shen Bai said, "Uncle Li, Uncle Liu, take a look at this knife-shaped coin."
The two responded, sat down, picked up their tools, and got to work.
They quickly determined the coin to be genuine.
Their final valuation was 240,000.
At this point, they also learned that the owner of the knife-shaped coin was not Su Xing, but this unfamiliar Miss Zhang.
Both appraisers carefully examined Zhang Caifeng, thinking to themselves: Are all Peking University students this incredibly talented? And her luck is truly phenomenal!
These days, finding a genuine item at the Panjiayuan market is no easy task.
Shen Bai thought for a moment and asked Zhang Caifeng, "Miss Zhang, our Treasure Pavilion is offering 260,000 for this knife-shaped coin. What do you think?"
The appraiser would naturally lower the price he offered, but because Zhang Caifeng was Su Xing's friend and the coin was in excellent condition, he raised the price by 20,000.
Zhang Caifeng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Su Xing beside her.
Su Xing simply smiled at Zhang Caifeng without offering any suggestions.
When it comes to money, it's best for Zhang Caifeng to make the decision herself.
However, she also felt that the price of 260,000 was not low.
Zhang Caifeng didn't hesitate for long. She quickly nodded to Shen Bai and said, "Okay, this price is fine."
Her heart was pounding; she was incredibly excited!
Based on what she had learned about ancient coins during this time, she felt that the value of her knife coin should be between 220,000 and 240,000 yuan.
The price Shen Bai offered was now higher than she had expected, so she didn't hold back and readily agreed.
Shen Bai said, "Then let's sign a contract."
Zhang Caifeng nervously pushed up her glasses, "Oh, okay."
Shen Bai had his secretary print out two copies of the contract and send them over.
Zhang Caifeng carefully read through the key information in the contract before filling in her card number and other information, and then signed it.
Shen Bai instructed his secretary to provide Zhang Caifeng's bank card number to the finance department.
"Ms. Zhang, please wait a moment. The finance department will transfer the funds to you shortly."
Zhang Caifeng said, "Oh, I'm not in a hurry."
"Pleasant to work with."
"Yes! It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
Shen Bai then laughed and said, "Miss Zhang, if you ever have anything good to sell, don't forget about my Treasure Pavilion."
Zhang Caifeng replied earnestly, "Okay, I'll remember!"
But she thought to herself: she might not have such good luck again.
Su Xing smiled at Zhang Caifeng and said, "Congratulations!"
Zhang Caifeng looked at Su Xing and said gratefully, "Thank you..."
She thanked Su Xing not only for his "congratulations," but also for ensuring she didn't miss this great opportunity.
A few minutes later, Zhang Caifeng received a text message confirming that the money had been deposited into her account.
She held her phone, staring at the suddenly appearing sum of money, looking somewhat dazed.
Since the antique she found was a bargain and didn't have a complete original value certificate, she didn't need to pay property transfer tax. She only needed to pay 3% tax, plus 0.03% stamp duty. After deducting nearly 8,000 yuan in taxes, she received more than 250,000 yuan.
Did she really suddenly have over 250,000 yuan more in her account?
This is a huge sum of money for her.
In fact, after she was admitted to Peking University, her high school, local government, and education department all gave her a lot of bonuses. After enrolling in Peking University, Peking University also gave her a bonus of 50,000 yuan.
However, she gave most of the prize money to her family so that her parents wouldn't have to work so hard and her younger siblings could go to school without worry.
She spent most of her college living expenses over the past few years on various scholarships.
Now, she suddenly didn't want to tell her family about this unexpected windfall; she wanted to keep it for herself, just in case.
Even if she doesn't need the money for a while, just having it sitting in her bank account gives her confidence.
