Seeing that Lin Yi didn't seem to be very interested in this set of Jin Yong's martial arts, Wang Heizi's face immediately drooped, for him, being able to talk about business with Lin Yi so enthusiastically was enough to look up to him, usually he was disdainful of Lin Yi, he didn't dress well, and he didn't shoot generously, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like that kind of rich man. However, Dong Glasses' experience of being able to drink "mutton soup" told him that this young man was still very fat, and occasionally bleeded profusely and bought a lot of things.
Who is Lin Yi, he was silent, took in Wang Heizi's reaction, and saw that the other party's cigarette was about to run out, so he took out another one and handed it over.
"Brother Wang, to be honest, this set of books is still okay, but it's just one set, and it's useless to buy it, if there are more, maybe I'll shoot it-"
"What, you want it all?" Wang Heizi immediately lifted his spirits, "Haha, brother, what you said is a coincidence, I have two big boxes of this set of books, a set of four copies of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", a total of eighty copies, if you want me to give you a discount!" β
For Wang Heizi, these books are simply hot taro, and they can't be sold on the booksstand, so it's best if you can shoot this stupid boy.
What Lin Yi wanted was Wang Heizi's words, and he still said quietly on the surface: "No matter how good you say, it's useless, you have to look at the goods." β
"It's okay, it's easy to see the goods, my house is nearby, and the two big boxes are in my house, if you have time, let's go-"
Lin Yi hesitated, "This is not very good, your bookstall ......"
"What is this kind of business, and besides, there is no one now-Lao Dong, you help me watch it first, and I'll invite you to drink when I turn around!" Wang Heizi couldn't wait to take Lin Yi to his house to see the goods, so that he could dispose of the two large boxes of old books.
β¦β¦
Wang Heizi's home is near Minzhu Street, out of the gate of the God of Wealth Temple, riding an electric car, turning a few alleys.
The first floor is the faΓ§ade he rented, at first it was a barber shop, and his wife gave people haircuts to make money, and then he changed his mind to a used bookstore, with a few old shelves, stuffed with books, and people familiar with him liked to come to him to pick up books and buy them. After coming and going, business is not bad.
The front of the bookstore is not big, and it is occupied by a large sofa for washing hair, which is extremely narrow, Lin Yi doesn't care about it, but the smell inside is really unpleasant, the smell of dampness, the smell of moldy pages, and the smell of leftovers.
Lin Yi's nose was particularly sensitive, so he was embarrassed to cover his nose, so he could only stand outside very hard and say, "Brother Wang, or I'll be outside, the light here is good, and I can see clearly." β
Wang Heizi thought he was polite, so he called him into the house very enthusiastically, and said: "Don't be restrained, I'm very messy here, you can take a look first, I'll wash you a cucumber......" As he spoke, he magically took out a cucumber from a pile of dirty clothes and stinky socks, washed it with tap water and handed it to Lin Yi, "Brother, eat!" β
Lin Yi: "......"
Should or should not be eaten.
Fortunately, at this time, Wang Heizi had already pulled out the two large boxes from the back room. These two boxes are very large, they are very thick rough cardboard boxes, and they occupy a lot of space, so Wang Heizi can quickly find and pull them out.
After finding a towel, Wang Heizi shook the box twice, then opened the box and said to Lin Yi: "Brother, you can see clearly, these two boxes of books are all "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the same as the one you have read, a total of eighty books, if you shoot it, brother, I will give you a preferential price, 1000 for one box, 2000 yuan for two boxes, how about it?" β
In Wang Heizi's opinion, since Lin Yi has come here, he is a lamb to be slaughtered, and if he is not slaughtered, he will not be slaughtered.
Lin Yi was noncommittal, squatted down, and looked through the books in the box a few times, and sure enough, they were all limited editions of 600 copies. It's a pity that Wang Heizi doesn't know what a limited edition is, he only knows that this kind of book is difficult to sell, and now people don't read martial arts novels, and even big children are holding online novels and gnawing on them.
"To tell the truth, Brother Wang, the price of your book is not high, on average, it is only a dozen yuan, but you don't have a set of books, originally Jin Yong's novels are thirty-six books, Feixue shoots white deer in the sky, and the laughing book god leans on Bi Yuan, you only have the set of "Condor" here, it is too bad, and it is not easy to match enough. What's more, I have no reason to buy so many repetitive martial arts novels in one go, and I'm not selling books, I just like it, I just want to collect and play ......" Lin Yi said unhurriedly, "If you are really sincere, I have also run so far, just open a solid and sincere price, which can be accepted by me, 1000 yuan per box, which is too high!" He shook his head in embarrassment.
Poor, Wang Heizi, who has always been ruthless in the second-hand book market, knows Lin Yi's thoughts, and is anxious to untie these hard-to-sell books, so he pretended to be very happy and said: "Brother Lin, there is some truth in what you said, brother and I are not the kind of people who are not close to people, not to mention that I can't let you go all the way to run empty-handed, it's better to let me give in a little more, how about you look at a box of books for 800 yuan and two boxes for 1600 yuan?" That's all I can do, and you have to understand me, the price was very high when I received it. In fact, Wang Heizi spent a total of 800 yuan to collect these two large boxes from the backlog of inventory in the bookstore, and in order to relieve the pressure of storage, these books were disposed of as waste paper. If you really sell it to Lin Yi for 1600, you can still earn 800.
The abacus in Wang Heizi's small belly played very loudly, but unfortunately, although Lin Yi was a new rookie in the old book world, he relied on his keen sense of smell to smell the lies emanating from Wang Heizi's body, a detective drama once said that as long as this person lies, he will become nervous in the depths of his heart, and sweat glands secrete something, it is different.
"Brother Wang, I understand that you are also a real person, since this is the case, let's open the skylight and say bright words, if you still have a good home for these books, I bless you, whether you sell 1600 or 2600, I will applaud you; But if you think I'm okay and worth befriending, how about I take 1,000 yuan from two boxes of books? Lin Yi offered his highest psychological price. According to Wang Heizi's greed for money, it is estimated that it is a bit dangerous.
Sure enough, when Wang Heizi heard about this price, he had basically reached his critical point, he bought it for 800 yuan, and he only earned 200 yuan by selling it for 1000, which cost more than that.
"Then I'm sorry, little brother, it's not that you don't care about your brother's affection, this person doesn't deserve to eat, I have a high price for these books, and the money you give can't even cover the cost." Wang Heizi blinked his soybean-like eyes, and retreated as advance, "If you are really sincere, then 1500, the lowest price can only be this price." β
If it were someone else, it was estimated that he had already been fooled by Wang Heizi's half-truths, but it was a pity that Lin Yi had already mastered his details, and his sensitive sense of smell smelled the real Cheng dΓΉ in his words. So he smiled apologetically and said, "Then I'm sorry, Brother Wang." 1000 yuan, I have the most these, well, I have been to your house, I will remember the place, buying and selling is not benevolent, let's contact more in the future. After speaking, Lin Yi was about to leave.
At this moment, a woman rushed out of the back room with a cloak and said to Lin Yi like a madman: "Brother stay, we are not brainless, 1000 is 1000, these books are for you!" β
Looking at her interceptive posture, it seems that Lin Yi can't do it.
