Chapter One The young man didn't quite listen to his uncle, and after he brought Orika out, he left her instead of being with her, as his uncle said, and going to romance with her. But this time, he didn't hide, but went back to his favorite big city in the Far East, and stayed there as if nothing happened. On the surface, the young man seems to be in a calm state of mind, but in reality, he is not at all calm. He keeps an eye out for any news about Orika.Olika is now the most beautiful and richest widow in the world, and she has been involved in a huge armed mutiny. One can imagine the amount of news about her.

The Brazilian government once wanted to freeze all her property (Hunter's property), but it was rejected by Brazil's Supreme Court, so Orika still inherited a large amount of Hunter's property. The young man knew that Orika would definitely come to him, but when would she come?Young people don't know.Moreover, the young man didn't know what he should do when he met Orika again. Under such circumstances, how could his state of mind be peaceful? The young man, having made various efforts to distract himself from the troubled thoughts, began to pursue actively the collection of Chinese gold and silver coins which he had been continuing, but without any real effort.

The reason why all collecting activities attract thousands of people and become their hobby is because every collector knows that no matter what the purpose of their collecting is, once it reaches a certain level, there will inevitably be people who have money but cannot get it. In the current situation, it is not that if you have money, you can achieve your goal, but it depends on continuous efforts and opportunities. Money is not a problem for young people at all, but his luck is obviously not good enough. Two days ago, he saw in a special magazine that a collector sold a Guangxu thirteenth year coin. Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Zhang Zhidong supervised the production of the Guangdong Province, Kuping seven cents and two cents silver coin, which is an extremely rare type of silver coin in China. After it was minted, it was not officially issued, and the stock was very small. The other party replied, sorry, this rare silver coin has already been taken by others.

One day, the young man was inspecting his collection when the phone rang. The young man picked up the phone. The other party was a voice he had heard familiarly for nearly a month. It was a coin dealer. His voice was full of Excited, he said: I have two rare treasures here, do you want to take a look? The young man said: What is it? The coin dealer even gasped involuntarily, and said, "One is a silver cake with Yu Shengsen's foot pattern in the sixth year of Xianfeng, and the other is a gold coin. I really didn't expect to see this treasure!" The coin dealer's voice was even agitated, but the young man laughed instead and said, "Don't be nervous, what is it?"

Finally, after taking a few breaths, the coin dealer shouted, "It's a one or two gold coin made in the Bingwu year of Guangxu!" The young man immediately stood up, and he couldn't help being a little nervous. There are very few gold coins in China, and each one is a treasure, especially the Kuping one or two gold coins minted in the Bingwu and Dingwei years of Guangxu, which are extremely rare and the best , is the dream of any coin collector, and has almost been classified as an impossible item! Immediately after the young man stood up, he said, "I'm coming!"

He put down the phone, picked up his coat, and left the residence. The company that serves coin collectors is not large, occupying only one shop on the third floor of a shopping mall. But this company enjoys a good reputation in the world, the most important reason is naturally that the coin dealer Zhu Feng is a real expert in coin appreciation. The young man came to the door of the coin company about 20 minutes after receiving the call, but when he arrived at the door of the company, he found that the blinds that covered the door had been pulled down on the glass of the door, and at the same time, there was a sign saying: Rest sign.

The young man couldn't help being stunned for a moment. He reached out and knocked on the glass twice. At that time, he didn't expect any accidents to happen. He thought that Zhu Feng closed the door because he wanted to admire the two glass windows with him alone. A rare Chinese coin without disturbing other customers. But when he had knocked louder and louder for a minute, and there was still no answer, he stepped back and gazed suspiciously at the closed door. At this moment, behind him, a woman's voice suddenly sounded, saying: Mr. Zhu left only after he went out! The young man turned around, and it was an elderly fat woman who was accosting him. At first glance, it looked like a colorful and colorful beer barrel. A sense of disgust arose in the young man's heart. Every time he sees this kind of aged multicolored beer barrels, he will naturally think of a big wriggling caterpillar.

But for the sake of politeness, he didn't show his disgust, just shook his head and said: "Strange, Mr. Zhu and I have an appointment." The colorful beer barrel swayed, and said: "Mr. Zhu seems to be in a hurry. He walked away in a hurry. While walking away, he was still muttering about three or four. I want to come out and ask him What's the matter, he has gone far! The young man looked at the colorful beer barrels with a puzzled expression, and said, "Are you The colorful beer barrel hurriedly pointed to a shop next to the coin shop, and said: This is my antique shop, please come in and have a seat?

The young man let out a groan, and he couldn't help sympathizing with Zhu Feng, poor Zhu Feng, who lives next to such a person every day!He hurriedly waved his hands and said: No, I'll wait for him here! The colorful beer barrel still refused to let go of the young man, and with his plump lips, he opened his mouth wide and said: "Sir, although my shop is not big, there are also many high-quality goods, you may wish to come and see!" The young man sighed, it's not that he doesn't like antiques, but after seeing Yitong Antique Store, this kind of antique store that specializes in tourist business, I don't know what it is, and with the constantly shaking beer barrel, It was unbearable.

So the young man just said coldly: Sorry, I'm not interested! The colorful beer kegs stared. The young man had turned around and walked away. The shopping mall is composed of a winding corridor. On both sides of the corridor, there are all kinds of shops. The young man walked forward at a leisurely pace. After about twenty minutes, he had come full circle and returned to the door of the coin shop, but the door was still closed. The young man couldn't help frowning. He didn't know Zhu Feng for a long time, but he had a good understanding of Zhu Feng's personality. It is quite easy to understand the character of a collector. , because every collection needs to be classified and preserved, so.Collectors tend to be a very regular, almost rigid person.

Zhu Feng is such a person. Such a person would not suddenly leave after making an appointment with a customer, but there must be something extremely important that made him do this, the young man decided to make another round. However, when he came back after another 20 minutes, the door was still closed. The young man didn't wait any longer, but tore a piece of paper from his small diary and wrote a few words, It was stuffed in the seam, and then left the mall and went to the parking lot. As soon as he stepped into the parking lot, he knew that there was an accident in the parking lot. Many spectators formed a circle, and there were many police officers, some of whom were driving away the spectators. The young man went straight to his car, opened the door, and when he was about to get in the car, he saw that several police officers were inspecting a man who fell on the ground. From the back of the man who fell on the ground, he could see The blood that has not yet coagulated completely. The young man said in his heart: A murder case!But then, he was shocked, the back of the dead man was too familiar, it was Zhu Feng. After a sudden shock, the young man couldn't help wondering, why did Zhu Feng suddenly die in the parking lot?Naturally, he immediately thought of the gold coin from the Bingwu Year of Guangxu, but he shook his head immediately. A gold coin like this is of course a treasure in the hearts of collectors, but in fact, its value will not exceed two One hundred thousand dollars, it seems, is not enough to cause a murder. The young man can be said to be an idler. He has always kept a certain distance from the police and never had any relationship with them. Although he recognized the deceased as Zhu Feng, he would never go over to see for himself. All he immediately thought was that the piece of paper he stuffed into the crack of the door, after the police figured out Zhu Feng's identity, would definitely enter his shop and find that piece of paper. paper, and find him? However, after thinking about the words he left behind, he felt that there was no clue for the police to find him. He glanced at Zhu Feng's body again, feeling a little impermanent in his heart, then got into the car and drove out of the parking lot. The next day, in the newspaper, the young man saw the news of the tragic death of coin collector Zhu Feng in the parking lot. He read several newspapers, but they all said the same thing, except that all his belongings were lost. The bandits stabbed to death Yun Yun. The young man sighed again, he really wanted to know what relatives Zhu Feng had, and who was in charge of the small shop that could supply first-class rare coins. However, homicides are no longer big news in the metropolis. After a few days, there is no news.It was not until more than half a month later that he saw another auction advertisement in the newspaper. The advertisement was quite large: the auction was owned by Mr. Zhu Feng, a coin collector. All valuable collections have been compiled and cataloged, and each copy is ten dollars. The auction is conducted as one time, that is, the heir needs to pay all the money in cash or bank check immediately after the hammer is dropped. The young man looked at the date of the auction, and it was three months later. Of course, for such a large auction, it is necessary to find buyers all over the world, and three months is necessary. Young people also know that Zhu Feng's collection is extremely rich, including coins from all over the world. Using Zhu Feng's collection as a basis and expanding it, he can become the world's first-class authoritative coin collector. The young man decided to participate in the auction. In the afternoon, he went to the auction company to buy a catalog. When he got the catalog, someone patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you want to compete with me?" A familiar voice came from behind the young man, and the familiar smell of smoke made the young man laugh naturally. Without turning around, he called out: Uncle! Behind the young man was his uncle. When the young man turned around, his uncle smiled, pointed his pipe at his chest, and said, "Well, collecting coins may not be able to relieve your heart." Be lonely! The young man laughed, a bit bitterly, and said: Uncle, you are a bit special as an elder! The old man smiled brightly, and said: I understand what you mean, you mean, other elders always prevent you from dating girls like Orika, but I encourage you instead, don't you? The young man nodded and said: Yes! But the old man shook his head and said: You are completely mistaken. I am not encouraging you, but deep down in your own heart, there is an irresistible feeling. If you want to fight against your own feelings, then It's a matter of failure, I just don't want you to fail! The young man smiled bitterly again. He naturally refused to admit his uncle's words verbally, but in fact, he knew in his heart that his uncle was right, and it seemed that he must fail. He really didn't want to say any more, so he changed the subject and said, "Uncle, do you see any treasures in the catalogue?" The old man laughed and said: "Yes, there is a piece of Chu State Yingzi with seven pieces connected together. It is the earliest gold coin in the world. Have you checked the reserve price of all the auctions? Unexpectedly, there are so many in Zhu Feng's collection!" The young man flipped through the catalog in his hand, and he immediately saw the reserve price of all the auction items: one million dollars. The young man shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is just the reserve price. I don't know how much it will be sold in three months' time?" The old man agreed and said: "It's true. You see, he has four Guangxu Bingwu gold coins, which is really a big deal!" The young man was taken aback for a moment, and immediately opened the Chinese coin section in the catalog. Sure enough, under the item of China's first machine-made gold coin minted by the Tianjin Mint in 1906, in the column of quantity, there was a four-character . The young man shook his head lightly and said, "Four coins, it's very strange. When he called me, he said there was only one coin!" The old man glanced at the young man, and they left the auction company together. The young man told the story of what happened after Zhu Feng called and rushed to Zhu Feng's shop that day. The old man didn't say anything, just listened indifferently, then parted hands, saying: Goodbye at the auction, take care! After the young man broke up with his uncle, he returned home and studied the catalog in detail. The rare coins from all over the world recorded in the catalog were simply too beautiful to behold. After reading this catalog, the young man knew that Zhu Feng was a A very secretive person, because during the several months of his relationship with Zhu Feng, Zhu Feng had never revealed to him that he had such a huge collection. Young people can also predict that the auction three months later must be a sensational auction in the world. If anyone buys all of Zhu Feng's collections, he can keep his favorite parts and sell the rest. Not only can you get many precious coins, but you can also get considerable profits. Zhu Feng's death has become a mystery. The young man occasionally saw a little news in the newspaper, but it was irrelevant, and the murderer has not been found. And the young man has been spending time studying that catalog. Then, in the specialized coin collection magazines received by young people, almost all of them took this auction as a topic. There were at least 30 articles analyzing the richness of Zhu Feng's collection, which was almost unimaginable. Then, the day of the auction finally arrived. The number of buyers from all over the world was far beyond the expectations of the auction company. Therefore, the auction was temporarily changed to be held in the lobby of a big hotel, and the entire collection was on display ten days before the auction. , There are hundreds of guards guarding the exhibition site. Young people go to see it almost every day, killing hours, and like other people who are interested in bidding, sometimes, they can stay for a long time before only one gold coin. Due to the long exhibition time, on the day of the official auction, almost all the people present had met before, and everyone smiled knowingly when they met. The young man arrived early and took a good seat, and three minutes later his uncle came and sat beside him. The young man whispered: Uncle, according to your estimation, how many times will the base price of one million yuan be raised? Without even thinking about it, the old man said: Thirty to fifty times! The young man shrugged, which was what he had expected.At this time, all he thought of was one thing: Zhu Feng probably didn't know that his collection had such an appalling market price. Even if it was auctioned off at thirty times the reserve price, that would be 30 million U.S. dollars, no matter what, that was a pretty big sum!Who owns this huge sum of money? The young man also worked hard to find out who the consignor was in the auction company, but to no avail. The young man couldn't help feeling a little regretful. These days, he didn't conduct any further investigation into the cause of Zhu Feng's death. He was finally the last person who talked with Zhu Feng on the phone. What was the reason for Zhu Feng's death? of?Is it because of his huge collection?Is it because after his death, someone can get great benefits?It has been more than three months now, is it too late to investigate again?The young man frowned and was thinking, when his uncle suddenly touched him lightly and said, "Look, who's here!" The young man turned his head, and he saw a tall, handsome middle-aged man with deep eyes and a high nose, handsome, imposing and demeanor, walked in. The man was familiar to the young man, the Emperor of Turkey!The old man whispered again: It seems that there is a commotion!
