Liu Xing was a little surprised, Cai Fugui actually came here so early, it seems that he really desperately wants the Meteor Book Bar to go bankrupt as soon as possible.

It is not difficult to guess Cai Fugui's intention today, it is nothing more than to fool Liu Xing into spending money indiscriminately, which will cause the Meteor Book Bar to close down due to lack of funds.

If Cai Fugui hadn't achieved his goal today, I'm afraid he wouldn't have left.

Therefore, Liu Xing was not in a hurry to go downstairs, he first went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, changed his clothes, and then stood at the window to breathe in the fresh air for a while.

After tossing for more than ten minutes, he slowly left the reading room.

Liu Xing walked to the first floor of the book bar and saw a middle-aged man standing in the hall, holding a black cane in his hand, it was Cai Fugui.

After being beaten by a wolf last time, Cai Fugui's left leg was shattered and fractured, and now he needs crutches to walk. Cai Fugui's injuries have not fully recovered, and the left side of his face is visibly swollen with blue bruises.

Beside Cai Fugui, there is also a burly muscular man, who is Cai Fugui's newly hired bodyguard.

Since the violent beating, Cai Fugui has increased his vigilance and spent a lot of money to hire a veteran to be a bodyguard. If he didn't bring bodyguards during the day, he wouldn't dare to go out.

"Liu Xing, you've finally come down. ”

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Cai Fugui didn't have any complaints, and greeted him with a smile, "I've been waiting for you for a while." ”

Liu Xing walked straight to the bar, took a bottle of juice and whole wheat bread from the cabinet, and began to enjoy breakfast: "Something?"

"Aren't you looking to buy scrap books?"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm here to talk to you about business today. Cai Fugui limped to the bar with a cane, and said with a kind face, "There are more than 23,000 waste books in my book bar, I don't know if you are interested?"

"More than 23,000 copies?" Liu Xing sighed in his heart, this Cai Fugui is worthy of being an old bookseller on Novel Street, and his background is really not comparable to ordinary people. The general bookstore on Novel Street only has a few hundred waste books, but Cai Fugui actually has more than 23,000 books.

"Scrap books also depend on the type. Liu Xing took a sip of juice, "I have to look at the source first." ”

"No problem. Cai Fugui said in passing, "You can go to the library of my book bar first." ”

"I just woke up and haven't eaten yet. ”

"It's okay, I can wait for you to finish eating. ”

So, Liu Xing sat at the bar and continued to enjoy breakfast, drinking juice and eating bread, while Cai Fugui watched dryly from the side.

More than ten minutes later.

"Boss Cai, you can go. ”

After eating and drinking, Liu Xing got up and left the Meteor Book Bar, accompanied by Cai Fugui, and went to the Fugui Book Bar located at No. 118 Novel Street.

……

Arriving at the Fugui Book Bar, Liu Xing and Cai Fugui went straight to the underground bookstore.

The underground bookstore of the Fugui Book Bar is nearly 200 square meters, and there are more than 100 special steel bookshelves, which are neatly arranged, just like a steel army, which is quite imposing.

"Liu Xing, these ten bookshelves are full of waste books. ”

Under the leadership of Cai Fugui, Liu Xing walked to the corner of the east side of the library, ten silver steel bookshelves were connected in a row, and all the waste books stored on them were stored for many years, and it was estimated that there should be more than 20,000 copies.

Liu Xing walked in front of the bookshelves, which contained many types of waste books, romance novels, science fiction novels, mystery novels, and workplace novels...... There is something for every genre of fiction.

It's just that there aren't many campus novels.

According to Sun Xuecai's introduction, his 30,000 campus novels were sold to Cai Fugui, and the number of campus novels in Fugui Book Bar should be very large.

His eyes swept around, and soon, Liu Xing found traces of campus novels in another row of bookshelves opposite.

At a glance, the nine bookshelves in a row are actually campus novels, a total of about 20,000 copies, these campus novels are a bit old, obviously some years, it should be the campus novels sold by Sun Xuecai.

"These campus novels are also waste books, right?" asked Liu Xing.

"Yes. However, these campus novels were published early and are more expensive. Cai Fugui pointed to the two rows of waste books, "All the waste books on the bookshelf can be sold to you, how about it, are you interested?"

Liu Xing didn't show any expression on his face, and said very flatly: "Whether you are interested or not, it depends on what the price is." ”

"Don't worry, we are all old neighbors of Novel Street, and I will definitely give you a great discounted price. Cai Fugui waved his hand, with a very generous gesture, "The waste book on the left, 10 yuan a copy." The campus novel on the right, 30 yuan a copy. ”

"30 yuan a book? Boss Cai, you're really joking. Liu Xing casually took out a waste book from the bookshelf next to him, patted it gently, and the dust spread in the air, "These waste books have been backlogged here for at least 15 years, right?

Cai Fugui smiled and said, "The earlier the novel is published, the more likely it is to be a star novel that has been omitted, and the more valuable it is." More than half of the more than 21,000 campus novels on the shelves are novels published 40 years ago, and 30 yuan a copy is already a very cheap price. ”

Liu Xing spread his hands: "If you say so, then there is nothing to talk about." ”

Cai Fugui always thought that Liu Xing's brain might not be good, so he would buy scrap books, so he deliberately raised the price and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob. Now when he heard Liu Xing's tone, Cai Fugui knew that this wishful thinking seemed to be not easy to fight.

"Otherwise, how much do you think is appropriate?" Cai Fugui asked tentatively.

"$5. Liu Xing said.

Cai Fugui's face changed, and then, he forced out a smile and said: "Liu Xing, you are also very good at joking, old books published more than 40 years ago are sold for 5 yuan, what is the difference between this and selling waste paper? ”

After thinking about it, Cai Fugui said again, "I'll take another step, a fixed price, 28 yuan a piece." ”

"In that case, I'll go first. ”

After speaking, Liu Xing suddenly didn't want to talk about it, turned around and was about to leave, and walked straight towards the exit of the underground bookstore.

One-step, two-step, three-step, four-step......

"Wait a minute. ”

Finally, Cai Fugui still stopped Liu Xing, how could he watch the cooked duck fly, and said loosely, "Liu Xing, how about 25 yuan?"

Liu Xing didn't make a sound, and continued to walk without looking back, looking like he was about to walk out of the underground library......

"Well, you say, how much?"

Cai Fugui couldn't help but compromise again, he knew that some people's personalities were particularly stubborn, and once they recognized a reason, the nine cows couldn't pull it back. Liu Xing just agreed to buy the book, and if he was let go, I really don't know if he could pull it back.

Stopping, Liu Xing turned his head and repeated: "5 yuan." ”

Cai Fugui showed a very embarrassed expression on his face, and said earnestly: "Liu Xing, you are too uninteresting, 5 yuan a copy is too low, and the price of jumping off the building is not so low." Do you know that I bought these more than 21,000 campus novels at the beginning for 100 yuan, and now it is very cheap to sell you for 25 yuan. ”

Liu Xing disagreed: "It's useless for you to buy it back for 10,000 yuan, a waste book is a waste book, and it's not worth much." ”

"You can't say that. Cai Fugui analyzed, "40 years ago, the book appreciation technology was very poor, and the probability of missing a star novel was about one percent. Many of these more than 21,000 campus novels were published 40 years ago, and the probability of finding a star novel from them is one percent, which is a very good chance. ”

Liu Xing asked rhetorically: "If it was really so easy to find star novels, Boss Cai, you would have made a fortune a long time ago, didn't you?"

Cai Fugui was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to refute it, because what Liu Xing said was the truth.

Cai Fugui himself once selected more than 100 books from these waste books and sent them to the book testing center for identification, with a total appraisal fee of more than 300,000 yuan. However, in the end, only a two-star novel was found, worth 10,000 yuan, which is equivalent to a loss of 290,000 yuan.

It is almost impossible to make money from waste books, which is already a consensus among Chinese readers.

Cai Fugui originally thought that Liu Xing didn't understand and wanted to fool him, but now he found that it didn't seem easy to fool.

"Liu Xing, it's okay to bargain, but you can't cut it randomly. We are doing business, we should be mutually beneficial and win-win, we can't just let you take advantage of it, and let me be wronged, right?" Cai Fugui persuaded in a good voice, "Otherwise, let's take a step back alone, how about 20 yuan?"

Liu Xing ignored it.

Cai Fugui thought for a while and gritted his teeth: "The minimum is 19 yuan! This is already the price of vomiting blood, it really can't be lower!"

In fact, when Cai Fugui shouted out 20 yuan, Liu Xing already felt that it was about the same, because according to the current waste book market, the price of a waste book published more than 40 years ago is more than 20 yuan.

Liu Xing had purchased waste books before, and the price of a waste book was only 1 to 3 yuan, because the waste books purchased at that time were all published in recent years, and the probability of finding a star novel from them was only about 1 in 1,000.

For novels published more than 40 years ago, due to the extremely backward book appreciation technology at that time, the probability of missing a good book was 1 percent, so the probability of finding a star novel increased by 10 times, and the price also increased by more than 10 times.

Therefore, a scrap book published 40 years ago sells for 20 yuan, which is indeed a very cheap price.

However, Liu Xing still didn't agree, and said: "Boss Cai, for your sake, let's take a step back and 10 yuan." ”

"......" Cai Fugui almost vomited blood when he heard this, which person is this person who takes a step back, it is clear that I am taking a big step back, you take a small step back, right? Is this kid really stupid or fake stupid?

"Liu Xing, you are too ruthless at this price, you don't bargain like this, cut 10 yuan from 30 yuan, doesn't this kill me?" Cai Fugui gritted his teeth, seemed to make a heavy decision, and said, "It's okay for one person to take a step back, it's not 19 yuan, it's not 10 yuan, let's take a median value, a fixed price, 15 yuan!"

Liu Xing asked rhetorically: "Why is it not 14 yuan, but 15 yuan? Boss Cai, you are not kind!"

"Okay, okay, you can care about a dollar, it's really enough to pick the door. Cai Fugui clapped again, "14 yuan and 5 cents, this is fair, right?"

Liu Xing's brows furrowed slightly, thoughtful.

"Liu Xing, you won't be dissatisfied, right?" Cai Fugui said, "You go out and inquire, this is definitely the lowest price in the entire novel street!"

Liu Xing asked, "If I buy these waste books, can you help me carry them?"

Cai Fugui thought for a while and nodded: "No problem, I can send all the books directly to your store, how about it?"

"Deal!"

Hearing Liu Xing's agreement, Cai Fugui breathed a long sigh of relief, and sighed in his heart: It's really hard to do business with this kid!

……

In this way, Liu Xing purchased all the campus novels of Xia Fugui Book Bar at a price of 14.5 yuan. There are more than 21,000 campus novels in total, with a total purchase price of 310,000 yuan.

In addition, there are other types of waste books in the Fugui Book Bar, a total of more than 23,000 books, these waste books are books published in the last ten years, the price is relatively low, 1.7 yuan a piece, the total purchase price is about 40,000 yuan.

The difference between the two is that Liu Xing has purchased a total of about 45,000 waste books for a total price of 350,000 yuan.

After the transaction, Liu Xing left the Fugui Book Bar.

Looking at Liu Xing's departing figure, Cai Fugui's face showed a smug smile, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart: Liu Xing, this kid seems to be really stupid, he actually bought all 45,000 waste books, and spent 350,000 yuan at once. With such a loser, it seems that the Meteor Book Bar is not far from going out of business......

……

Walking on the novel street, Liu Xing was relaxed, although he had just spent 350,000 yuan, he was not distressed at all.

350,000 is a lot of money, but Liu Xing is not using his own money.

More than a month ago, Cai Fugui once spent 400,000 yuan to hire a wolf to teach Liu Xing a lesson, but the 400,000 yuan commission finally fell into Liu Xing's hands. The 350,000 yuan that Liu Xing just spent on the acquisition of scrap books came from the 400,000 commission.

Therefore, Liu Xing used Cai Fugui's money to buy Cai Fugui's waste books......
