Chapter 920

Red Star Rolling Mill

Xu Damao found Cao Weiguo mysteriously:

"Brother Weiguo!"

"I've seen something good for you!"

Cao Weiguo stared at Xu Damao, confused:

"What good thing?"

"This!"

Xu Damao walked over and opened his briefcase.

A flash of gold shot into Cao Weiguo's eyes.

Xu Damao said excitedly: "Brother, help me take a look, how much is this thing worth?"

Last night, when Xu Damao first saw this thing, his dog eyes were blinded.

It looked festive and golden!

According to the militia member, this thing was an object his father confiscated from a landlord's house.

The landlord's ancestors were generals of the Plain Blue Banner, and the family ate from an iron-clad crop.

Even after they fell on hard times, they still had more than a dozen carts of belongings during the land reform.

Xu Damao took the thing out and handed it to Cao Weiguo.

It was a gold bowl engraved with geometric patterns, decorated with "Double Happiness" and "Longevity" characters.

The gold bowl had a diameter of 9.6 cm, a base diameter of 5.2 cm, a height of 5.6 cm, with fret patterns engraved on the mouth and foot, a circle of lotus petal patterns near the foot on the lower part of the belly, and the inscription "Tongzhi 11th Year, Two-Tael Flat Weight..." engraved on the bottom.

"Oh my! This Xu Damao has had dog-shit luck!"

Cao Weiguo weighed the bowl calmly:

"Where did you find this? If it's gold, it's worth a lot."

Xu Damao said excitedly: "It's gold! It's definitely gold! Brother Weiguo, are you interested?"

Cao Weiguo shook his head hurriedly: "I dare not, I dare not! I can't afford this thing!"

Cao Weiguo was determined to get this gold bowl, but he would never take it from Xu Damao's hands.

Xu Damao whispered: "You pay a thousand yuan, and this thing is yours."

This bowl is a good thing, but the Zhou brothers asked for a high price, and Xu Damao couldn't come up with the money for a while.

But since he ran into it, Xu Damao wouldn't easily let go of the opportunity to make a fortune.

He simply cooperated with the Zhou brothers and started the business of "moving bricks."

Moving bricks: refers to moving other people's antiques and artifacts without capital, earning the price difference from it.

They didn't know if this thing was an antique and how much it was worth.

But they knew this thing was gold!

Even at the current gold price (blindly checked 240 yuan/tael), this bowl is worth a lot of money.

The Zhou brothers were also worried about how to sell it, and they hit it off with Xu Damao on the spot.

Although this would inevitably let Xu Damao get a share, the Zhou brothers were too anxious to cash in on the thing.

But the origin of this thing was not glorious, and it was really hard to sell.

Xu Damao is a projectionist and a city person; he can talk and knows many people.

If he can help sell it, then let him have a share.

Anyway, this thing was obtained for free; if it couldn't be exchanged for food, it would be no different from scrap metal.

The Zhou brothers knew Xu Damao and weren't afraid of him running away.

They made Xu Damao write a note and press his fingerprint, then handed the thing to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao brought the thing back to the city, and the first person he thought of was Cao Weiguo.
