The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

Chapter 48: Found Gold Bars! Everyone Is Rushing Over

Others might not have known, but Gu Shengsheng did.

These things looked like ordinary silver coins, but they were different from the silver coins of Huaxia.

At the very least, the design on them was different.

This one had an eagle pattern on it, and the script was Spanish.

Even in the timeline she came from, which was many years ahead of this one, fewer than ten of these coins survived in the end, all housed in various national museums.

Now, they were also extremely rare items.

Gu Shengsheng said to her stream, "These are ’Big Money.’ They used to circulate domestically, but not for very long. Then they all disappeared and were replaced by other currencies."

"So this ’Big Money’ is actually very rare."

As she spoke, someone knowledgeable in the stream chat commented directly: "This Big Money... I remember the buyback price at a museum in the United States was 4.5 million for a single coin."

At this, the viewers in the stream were all stunned.

"4.5 million! For one coin. Oh my god! Streamer, a massive fortune has just landed in your lap!"

Gu Shengsheng shook her head. "No. Rarity determines value. There’s a whole box of them here. As soon as something becomes common, it loses its value. So the market price will drop a lot."

"Getting a hundred thousand or so for each coin would be a good outcome."

As she said this, Gu Shengsheng noticed her WeChat was constantly buzzing with new messages.

The stream chat was also flooded with people asking: "Streamer, where are you?"

"I want to buy something from you! Streamer, keep unboxing! Those of us in Beijing City will head over to take a look."

"We’ll come from other places too!"

"..."

Gu Shengsheng’s stream already had a huge audience. Before, many capable people or prominent figures in the appraisal world had just been watching for entertainment.

But ever since the incident with the Bureau of Cultural Relics, even more people from the industry were watching for the spectacle.

Now, Gu Shengsheng had a lot of eyes on her.

She didn’t really care. They could watch all they wanted. She would just keep opening boxes.

Then, Gu Shengsheng opened the second box. This one held no surprises—it was full of common coins, specifically the Yuan Datou that were in circulation at the time.

This kind of thing could only be exchanged at a bank. Getting a few hundred RMB for a single coin would be considered a lot. These Yuan Datou weren’t particularly valuable.

In the viewers’ minds, a whole box of these coins could probably only be exchanged for a few tens of thousands of RMB.

This wasn’t very exciting, so the viewers in the stream urged Gu Shengsheng to move on to the next box.

Gu Shengsheng smiled and said, "These Yuan Datou are all trial coins. They were probably only in circulation for about half a year before this batch was sealed away. They look to be in perfect condition, so they must have been collected by the owner of this household back then and never used again."

"They might seem useless, but this isn’t that big of a loss."

The viewers were getting anxious for her. "Streamer, you spent 12 million RMB! From the way you’re talking, it doesn’t feel like all this stuff adds up to 12 million!"

"It’s not our business, but we just think your gamble is too big. We’re afraid you’ll lose money."

"Seeing you lose money is more painful than me getting fired today!"

The point of watching a stream is for the thrill.

They liked to see the streamer prove others wrong, but they didn’t like to see the streamer suffer a loss! Otherwise, as her fans, they would feel embarrassed too.

Take Qin Shou, for example. At first, they thought he was handsome and pretty good at appraising treasures.

But after he ran into Gu Shengsheng, they felt he was a textbook example of a total turn-off.

Thinking of this, many fans got huffy and angry.

Gu Shengsheng then smiled and said, "Don’t worry. There will be good finds and bad ones. No matter what, just being able to find something is good. After all, what I bought was just a piece of land."

Then, Gu Shengsheng opened the third box.

This one... certainly met all the viewers’ expectations.

A box full of gold bars.

Gold bars from the late Qing dynasty, and they even appeared to be Official Silver. Inside was a huge box, filled with glittering gold.

The viewers cried out one after another:

"I can’t imagine how cheerful I’d be if this box of gold bars was in front of me..."

"I interrogated my dad for an hour and still couldn’t get him to reveal the secret of the gold bars buried under our house."

"It’s over. The streamer is definitely going to make a profit this time, and there are still so many boxes left to open."

"Streamer, are these gold bars actually valuable? I don’t know anything about this stuff."

Gu Shengsheng smiled and said, "Well, how should I put it? The price isn’t fixed."

"In this box of gold bars, there are ’large yellow fish’ and ’small yellow fish.’ The so-called ’large yellow fish’ are the large gold bars. There are big ones and small ones in here. If we calculate based on current market prices, one tael of gold is about thirty thousand RMB today."

As she spoke, she picked up a gold bar and weighed it in her hand.

She said directly, "This gold bar weighs around 10.8 taels. One ’large yellow fish’ is worth about 330,000 RMB."

"That means about thirty of these gold bars would be worth nearly ten million."

"But there are way more than just 30 gold bars in this box..." the viewers muttered to themselves. The stream chat miraculously fell silent.

It wasn’t for any particular reason; it was just too shocking.

How could this stuff be so profitable?

Just moments ago, they were all worried that Gu Shengsheng wouldn’t make her investment back. They never expected that she’d not only recoup her initial cost but also make a hefty profit!

Gu Shengsheng continued, "The value of these gold bars varies. We’ll have to wait for appraisal experts to come and take a look. I remember that back in the day, old Mr. Zhou Shuren could buy a whole courtyard house with just three large gold bars."

"Of course, prices back then were different from now. The value of this box of gold bars is still up for discussion."

After that, Gu Shengsheng stopped opening boxes.

She said, "I won’t open the rest of the boxes for now."

After saying this, she prepared to send a message asking Zhang Sanwang and Li Bai, as well as Li Bai’s wife, to come take a look.

Of course, Zhao Dehai was at the top of the list; he was already rushing over.

Besides them, Gu Shengsheng was about to mention finding experts, but Zhao Dehai said, "Don’t worry, I’ll bring the experts."

It seemed normal for those in Beijing City to come over, but when Qin Guocheng called, Gu Shengsheng felt it was anything but normal.

"Hello, Grandpa Qin." Gu Shengsheng wasn’t too familiar with him.

Who would have thought that Qin Guocheng would immediately exclaim, "Master! It’s Guocheng."

"..." Gu Shengsheng was instantly speechless. ’This old man... how could I possibly bear the title of ’Master’ from him!’

"You found such amazing things, dug up so much treasure, so why didn’t you call me!"

"You’re in Rui City," Gu Shengsheng emphasized. He couldn’t possibly fly over from Rui City, could he? It’s quite far.

After she spoke, the old man snorted coldly. "I’ve already sent Qin Shou, that beast of a grandson of mine, over. I’m getting involved one way or another. He’ll be there in about four hours. You save some for us."
