When Lin Yi saw it clearly, he saw that the group of people was followed by a big bald head, and the bald head was undoubtedly Lao Cao-Cao Yidao. I saw Cao Yidao holding a thick dark red book in his right hand, and he was walking towards Lin Yi with joy.

There is no doubt that he bought something good and came to give Lin Yi good news.

Lin Yiwan asked him, "What kind of book did you buy?" Let me see. ”

Cao Yidao originally came to find him for Changyan, and when he heard this, he handed the thick red book in his hand to Lin Yi, "Help me take a look, I just bought it!" "There was hope on his face.

Lin Yi took the book, and when he saw the title of the book, his head immediately exploded, and he was a little dizzy. Isn't this the Dalian popular version of "Mao-Zedong" worth tens of thousands of yuan that I read on the "Old Book Network" last night? Quickly turned to the copyright page and saw that it was three editions, with a print run of 5,000. A long errata is attached to the back of the book.

After reading the book, Lin Yi couldn't cry or laugh, he couldn't imagine that Lao Cao would be smashed by such a big pie.

……

You must know that now the red collection is booming, especially as the main force in the red collection, Taizu's "Mao Xuan" is the first to bear the brunt, the price continues to rise and rise, and it is faster than a rocket. However, the water of "Mao Xuan" is also deep, there are too many versions, and there are even fakes. For example, most of the Republic of China version of "Mao Xuan" are high-quality products and treasures.

In May 1944, the Jinchaji Daily edited and published the first "Mao-Ze-Dong Anthology". The book was edited by the Jinchaji Daily, a total of 29 works by Taizu, about 400,000 words, divided into 5 volumes of paperback and 5 volumes of bound hardcover, each printed 2,500 copies. It is a super boutique, and in 2008, the paperback book was auctioned for 230,000 yuan.

In July 1945, the Party Committee of the Central Soviet District published the second part of "Mao Xuan" in Luweidang. The "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-Dong" published by the Soviet-Chinese Publishing House does not have a "publication note" or "editor's words". Shortly after the publication of the first volume of the book, Japan surrendered, and the publishing house adjusted accordingly, and the "Mao Xuan", which was originally intended to be published in four volumes, was discontinued after one volume. Therefore, this version is also relatively rare.

Since 1946, the Hong Kong New Democracy Publishing House has successively published a set of "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-Dong" in the form of a single book. The cover design of the series is uniform, with "Mao-Ze-Dong Anthology" printed on the top cover, and the title printed vertically in the middle of the cover, and a five-pointed star pattern printed in the middle of the title. The cover is made of colored light paper of different colors to show the difference. This is unique among the many "Mao Xuan" before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and has a high collection value.

In April 1946, Dalian Dazhong Bookstore published the earliest "Mao-Ze-Dong Anthology" in Northeast China, which was based on the "Mao Xuan" of Jinchaji Daily, and even the "Editor's Words" were compressed and copied, adding three articles, with a total of 32 articles, 911 pages, and nearly 500,000 words. In August 1946, the five-volume hardcover "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-Dong" was published.

And the "Mao Xuan" in Lin Yi's hand in front of him is the Dalian public version!

……

Just when Lin Yi was reading this Mao Xuan, Lao Cao had already begun to blow out the story of his getting this book.

It turned out that after breaking up with Lin Yi in the antique city, Cao Yidao turned around a few times and bought nothing. Just when he thought that the treasure hunt would end in nothing, at this moment, a disabled person kneeling on the cart, with one leg broken in half, and singing "Wet Love" with a megaphone, slid over.

Lao Cao rarely has a good heart, mainly to see that the disabled person also has a big bald head, seeing him, Lao Cao suddenly became emotional, and said in his heart, if one day he is like this, skateboarding, his wife and children all run away, how miserable. didn't care if the other party was a show, so he directly stuffed 100 yuan into the past, causing the disabled person to keep kowtowing and thanking for the reward, and the people around him looked at him with strange eyes, and Lao Cao was satisfied.

After doing a good deed, it seems that he has good luck, Lao Cao is standing on the side of the road and thinking surging, feeling the wonderful feeling of doing a good deed, a female stall owner who often sells fake antiques here pushes a bicycle and carries a sack of fakes to be sold to Cao Yidao, and puts the sack on the ground very casually.

As soon as Cao Yidao saw this scene, he immediately looked like a dog foraging for food, and without the owner telling him, he consciously sniffed the smell and helped the female stall owner untie the rope tied to the mouth of the sack, and reached out one by one to pick up the fakes one by one.

At this time, the "Huangfu Erqiu", who often likes to visit the used book stalls in the Temple of Wealth to buy rags, also ran over when he saw a new stall owner setting up a stall. When the other "bookworms" saw that it was the female stall owner who changed the soup but not the medicine, and always sold those fake antiques, they didn't follow.

At this time, I saw that the "Huangfu Erqiu" also followed Cao Yidao and picked up the fakes in the bag. After a while, he took out this Dalian popular version of "Mao-Ze-Dong Anthology" and read it in his hand. After watching it for a long time, he didn't see a meridian, and when he looked down at Cao Yidao, he was looking at him with anxiety, despair, and some eyes that were trying to catch a ray of dawn before dawn, waiting pitifully for him to give him this "Mao-Ze-Dong Anthology" that he hadn't figured out and didn't take seriously.

Seeing this, Huangfu Erqiu put on a savior posture, and confused this gold-like treasure "Mao-Ze-Dong Anthology" that many "bookworms" dreamed of, and easily handed it to Cao Yidao, who was waiting there with his neck and glaring.

I don't know if Huangfu Erqiu thought that the female stall owner who sold fake antiques understood that the book must be expensive, or whether he really didn't know the true value of this "Mao-Ze-Dong Anthology", anyway, he gave up.

Cao Yidao took the "treasure" in his hand, flipped through the copyright page, and briefly glanced at the missing page. On the surface, he was calm, and his heart beat wildly, and he asked the female stall owner who had sold fake antiques for a lifetime Leng Ding miraculously made a real "Mao-Ze-Dong Anthology": "How can this "Mao Xuan" be sold?" ”

"I don't know, I haven't sold it, you can give a price." The female stall owner kicked the problem back to Cao Yidao.

"I'll give you 100 dollars." Cao Yidao was half-joking, half-touching the stones and crossing the river to test the mood of the female stall owner for this "Mao-Ze-Dong Anthology".

"100 yuan is too little, this is the book of the Republic of China, and it is Mao Xuan, why should it be worth 300 yuan!" As soon as the female stall owner said this "tiger", she was suddenly shocked that Cao Yidao hung the that she hadn't had time to pull out in the morning because she got up early in the morning, and pulled it in her trouser pocket. I was a little surprised and didn't believe my ears anymore. Before he could come to his senses, he said to himself in fear: "300 yuan!" ”

The female stall owner thought that he thought that books were expensive, so she argued again: "Such an old book, and Mao Xuan, 300 yuan is not worth it." ”

At this moment, Cao Yidao finally really heard it clearly. Only then did he wake up like a dream, hurriedly took out 300 yuan from his pocket, and quickly handed it to the female stall owner who specialized in selling fake antiques. took the Dalian popular version of "Mao Xuan" and began to parade through the streets.

……

Although he knew about this leak, Cao Yidao didn't know how big this "leak" was, because he didn't usually play Mao Xuan much, and felt that this kind of book was too deep, there were too many versions, and the ones he had most contact with were the fifties and sixties; However, it seems that the Mao Xuan that was printed in the fifties is now almost a few thousand, and this Republic of China version should be very valuable.

Lao Cao doesn't know the value of this Republic of China version of Mao Xuan, Lin Yi is different, Cao Yidao worships him like a god, in Lao Cao's eyes, Lin Yi is simply the ancestor of "picking up leaks" and "Taobao", so as soon as Lin Yi finished reading the book, he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, is this book worth it?" ”

Lin Yi returned the book to him and quipped: "You also play with books, and you asked me." ”

"Our realms are different, I want to hear more of your opinions." Cao Yidao looked at Lin Yi longingly, looking hungry and thirsty.

Listening to Cao Yidao's advice on Lin Yi, the people around him also craned their necks and looked at Lin Yi, waiting for him to speak, as if Lin Yi was some kind of "treasure expert".

Lin Yi smiled, then patted Lao Cao's shoulder and said half-jokingly: "Congratulations, this book can make you drink Hu spicy soup for eight years!" ”

As soon as Lao Cao heard this, he raised his fingers and counted, a bowl of spicy soup costs 5 yuan, 365 days a year, eight years is-

"Damn, almost fifteen thousand?!"

"Not almost, but definitely!" Lin Yi stopped teasing him, "I read last night's auction record of this book, the first version is in very broken condition, it is over 20,000, according to the quality, your third edition can be at least 10,000." ”

Who is Lin Yi, in the old book circle, his words are "golden words", at least Cao Yidao knows that Lin Yi's valuation of old books has never been missed, and if he says tens of thousands, he must be tens of thousands.

Lao Cao was so excited, he was about to go crazy, and he almost shouted, you must know that he has been playing books for so many years, except for following Lin Yi to earn a few large introduction fees, he has never picked up such a big "leak".

To put it bluntly, Lao Cao is an authentic two-way dealer, left hand in and right hand out, selling books and buying books, specifically earning the difference, there is no too powerful glorious history in picking up leaks, the biggest "leak" is three years ago he spent 100 yuan to buy a Ming Chongzhen period Mao Ji Gu Pavilion carved Jin to catch the secretary of the book "Chinese Painting Stories and Stories" than the first printing, the word "Xuan" does not avoid, with the original version of the secretary of Jin, and finally sold it for 8250 yuan, which is a small profit, but the leak is too small compared to this.

At this time, Guo Zixing, who parted ways with them before, didn't know where to get out, Lao Guo took the Dalian popular version of "Mao-Ze-Dong Anthology" from Cao Yidao's hand and read it again and again, and then reluctantly handed it back to Cao Yidao.

Although Guo Zixing only plays comic strips, he also knows that this kind of Mao Xuan is very valuable, especially in recent years, all the collections related to the "chairman" have appreciated greatly, like some of the treasures he collected, comic books, are also thousands, he only picked up more than 5,000 leaks not long ago, but Lao Cao picked up 10,005 at once, people are more popular than people, which makes Guo Zixing can't help shouting: "God, you are too eccentric!" threw down such a big piece of pie and smashed it on the head of Cao Guangtou, a slut! ”

In this way, Guo Zixing followed everyone, as if he had lost his soul, and also joined the team that was wandering behind Cao Yidao's buttocks. After a while, I took the Dalian popular version of "Mao-Ze-Dong Anthology" in Lao Cao's hand and took a look, as if this was the only way to relieve the sad jealousy in my heart, and the uncomfortable feeling would be better.

Lin Yi, as the ancestor of picking up leaks, really didn't see this little leak in his eyes, so he still held his hands behind his back, smiled, and continued his journey of searching for books.

……

Of course, some people pick up treasures, and some people take treasures, for example, the female stall owner who sells counterfeit goods not far away is now arguing with a male stall owner who is also setting up a stall there because of the occupation of space.

I heard the male stall owner shouting unforgivingly: "You can't afford to occupy a big place for your useless fart." Specializing in this business of dropping watermelons and picking up sesame seeds. You see, you are full of fake antiques, just the real "Mao-Ze-Dong Anthology", and you are sold for a hammer price as a fake!"

"I am willing, this book was left to me by my father, anyway, it has no capital, I want to sell it for as much money, I can sell it as much as I want, and I earn as much as I sell." The female stall owner who sells fake and ancient things understands a little bit after the male stall owner dials it a little, but how can Naimu be in a boat, and the married daughter can't catch it back, so she can only grit her teeth and carry it to the end hysterically with the male stall owner.
