Chapter VIII. A basket of treasures

Lin Yi had no intention of leaving from the beginning, his grandmother dropped, the book in this fish skin bag was very heavy, and Lin Yi didn't plan to carry it back.

So after Guo Zixing took the initiative to keep it, he made a reluctant look, sat down again, sighed and said: "Brother Guo, I am not greedy, I know that everyone is the last word, no one can take advantage of the good things in the world, and you must know how to share good things, I will sell these books to you, and I will not open your mouth so that you can't earn a penny; On the contrary, I only want to make a fifty percent profit and let half of it be given to you, brother, is it not worth your heart and lungs to do this? ”

Lin Yi's words made Guo Zixing embarrassed, it turned out that people had left profit margins for themselves, but it was ridiculous that he still wanted to pick up the leaks and take advantage of them.

"Ahem, little brother, you say that, it makes my brother embarrassed - so, you and I will no longer go around the corner, open our hearts, and explain this deal thoroughly, if you want, we will make a deal, even if you can't make a deal, we will still be good friends in the future, how about it?"

Lin Yi lost no time in giving a thumbs up, "Brother Guo is refreshing!" "Xindao, I'm finally going to get to the bottom of it, and I don't know how much these books are worth.

How did Guo Zixing know that his old rivers and lakes capsized in this small ditch, and he was fooled by Lin Yi, an imposter colleague, and exposed his underwear.

"Let's talk about your set of 24 copies of "The Peacock King", which is in good condition, I will sell it for 300 yuan at most, since you said it, the profits are evenly divided, then I will take it for 150; This set of 19 copies of "Youyou White Book", if I can sell it for 400, I will give you 200; There are also 57 large and complete sets of "Football Players", I can sell up to 1000, and I will give you 500 to win; Finally, as for this set of Dragon Ball...... Hainan 1994 edition, 78 copies of ten products and a large set of one print, now the appreciation potential is very large, if you are not in a hurry to get rid of the highest can sell 3000 yuan, I will give you 1500 yuan! The total of these books is 2,350 yuan, what do you think? ”

Lin Yi couldn't cry or laugh, no wonder the other party refused to get to the bottom of it before, as soon as he heard that he wanted to share the profits equally, he recruited them all. It took me half a day to earn an extra 350 yuan.

Seeing Lin Yi frowning, Guo Zixing was afraid that the cooked duck would fly, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Since we are meeting for the second time, as an elder brother, I will also give you a meeting gift, so I will add some whole numbers to you - 2500, it's all right?" ”

2500?!

Ten times two hundred and five, it really looks like two hundred and five that has expanded ten times.

Lin Yi thought so in his heart, but he was not the kind of person who didn't understand the actual situation, knowing that people were already exhausted, not to mention that he didn't have a family, even if these books were worth 10,000, they would be useless in his hands, so he accepted the price very happily.

Lin Yi's knowledge and interest made Guo Zixing very happy, and he directly checked 2,500 yuan, "Little brother, you can look at this money, and the amount is real or false - money is the most boring, but it must be calculated carefully." ”

Lin Yi understood what he meant, took the money, counted it, and then said, "No problem-but Brother Guo, I have some other books, do you want to read them?" ”

"Other books?" Guo Zixing was stunned for a moment, and saw Lin Yi take out a stack of books, but they were not comics, but recipes of different thicknesses, medicine books, textbooks, calendars, etc.

Guo Zixing smiled, "I didn't expect you to play quite broadly, brother, but I have always only played comic books and comics, and the interlacing is like a mountain, but I don't understand these miscellaneous books." ”

Lin Yi originally hoped that he would be able to collect these books, but since these books have a fragrance, they prove to be valuable books, but he didn't expect ......

Just when Lin Yi was thinking, Guo Zixing smiled again, "But I know a few people, if you want, I'll call them, ask for a price, and if it's appropriate, I'll collect it for them." ”

The reason why Guo Zixing said this is to sell favors, after all, a small bookseller like Lin Yi can't get a big fish one day, and it won't be cheap for himself when the time comes.

When Lin Yi saw him say this, he thanked him, and his lover wanted to send it, so how could he refuse.

Guo Zixing was also very good, and directly took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of an old friend, whose surname was Cao, and he also opened a bookstore to play old books. Guo Zixing told him the names of those books and the content of the copyright page, and then told him that the people who sell books are also peers, and the price should be fair, don't quote too low, but he didn't expect that after the other party considered it, the price quoted scared him.

10 copies of "Chinese Famous Recipes", 2,000 yuan;

10 Chinese textbooks for five-year primary schools, 900 yuan;

"Selected Paintings of Qi Baishi" 1 book, 2000 yuan.

1 copy of "Theory of Qi and Blood", 100 yuan.

1 copy of the Forbidden City Calendar, 500 yuan.

Total - 5500 yuan!

Lin Yi was also stunned when he heard this offer. I didn't make much money in comics just now, but I didn't expect to pick up a big leak in it.

Guo Zixing knows very well that his old friend, nicknamed "Cao Yidao", likes to cut the price the most, the price that can sell 100 is 50, and the price that can sell 1000 is 500, according to this reason, the total price of these books is definitely more than 10,000.

In fact, it is.

Published in 1958, "Famous Chinese Recipes" can be said to be a famous dish system launched after the founding of New China. This set of books was published by the Food Industry Press, the first to eleventh series of a total of 11 complete sets, from 1958 to 1965, it took seven years to complete the publication, and "Peking duck" is the first famous dish in this book, the whole process of making zuò is extremely detailed, can be used for practical operation.

Because of this, this set of books is recognized as a "kitchen mystery" in the culinary industry, and countless chefs of all sizes want to collect them all and find them at a high price, and then, a complete set can even be sold for five or six thousand. It's a pity that Lin Yi's set is only 10 copies, and even if he can sell at a high price, it is only about 4,000, and Cao Yidao gives half the price of 2,000 yuan, which is reasonable.

Nowadays, the second-hand book market has set off a nostalgic craze, especially those middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, who are basically successful in their careers, and at this time they begin to be nostalgic, and various Chinese textbooks have undoubtedly become a collection of fine products in nostalgia. Who hasn't memorized the beautiful texts in a Chinese textbook when they were young, and who hasn't described the beautiful illustrations in the textbook? A good set of "five-year primary school Chinese textbooks" in the 80s is still rising in market price, and anyone who is smart knows that this is a potential stock, so a set of 10 copies is even a high price of 2,000 yuan. It's just that Lin Yi's appearance is only eight or five grades, and it sells for 1,78 at most, and Cao Yidao opened 900, which is also authentic.

In the category of painting and calligraphy, the collection value of albums has always been rising, especially those early albums of famous artists, because of the scarcity of publishing, expensive paper, and exquisite binding, which are loved by the majority of calligraphy and painting collectors. As a famous master of Chinese painting, Qi Baishi's name can be said to be known to everyone, so his early albums are difficult to find in the market, even if there are, they are also swept away by some people who have a heart and hoarded, Lin Yi received this time "Selected Paintings of Qi Baishi" is a large album published by Jilin Fine Arts Publishing House in 1984, the print volume is 3000 copies, belonging to a version and a print, it can be sold for 5000 yuan in the market, Cao Yidao bargained more than half, only 2000 is a little cheap.

The medical book "Theory of Qi and Blood" was published and distributed by Liaoning Science and Technology Publishing House in 1990, only 2006 copies were printed, and the scarcity was expensive, coupled with the particularity of the content of this book, the selling price in the market was about 200 to 300, and Cao Yidao only gave 100, and took half of the profit.

The last "2010 Forbidden City Calendar" is completely the product of hype, this kind of almanac has not been noticed before, by a few big booksellers to target, the reason is very simple, not much printed, rich in content, basically every page has exquisite Palace Museum treasures and famous paintings, or treasure patterns, plus the binding is very high-grade, very hyped future, so the original price of only thirty or forty Forbidden City calendar, in just three months the price soared thirty times, now in 2010 a brand new, can be sold to more than 1000, it is staggering. Now Lin Yi's book is at most nine products, and it is a hype of goods, and Cao Yidao gives 500 is interesting enough.

Of course, these are some of the latest insiders in the used book market, although Guo Zixing also plays old books, but focuses on comics and comic books, so these are not very clear, at this moment listening to Cao Yidao's offer, I can't help but be surprised, just these two dozen inconspicuous books, it turned out to be as high as 5500 yuan.

"It's really interlaced!" Guo Zixing sighed again, but this time it was from the bottom of his heart.
