One million is a lot of money for many people, but it's not enough for the really rich to even plug their teeth.

What can a million do?

Drinking a bottle of red wine?

Buying a watch?

Or reward those female network anchors to make a joke.

yes, that's class.

One million, if you save 10,000 a year, then it takes a hundred years, 20,000 a year, then it takes 50 years, 30,000 a year, it takes more than 30 years...... Just ask, how many fifty years does a person have, how many thirty years?

So Lin Yi cherished the one million in his hand, and after paying off the favor, giving Cao Yidao a benefit fee of almost 80,000 yuan, and giving his sister Lin Xue a house purchase fee of 300,000 yuan, Lin Yi did not buy a house of his own as many people think, and then spend money on decoration, buy a car, invest in a small business, and enjoy the life brought by money happily.

Because Lin Yi knew that this kind of happiness could only be short-lived, one million, there would be no in the blink of an eye, and he would become poor again in the blink of an eye if he tossed like this, so Lin Yi just spent 8,600 yuan a year in rent to rent a house in a nearby apartment. With an area of 90 square meters, two bedrooms and a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, a bed, a sofa, a network cable, and a water heater, it is the most suitable for a single man like Lin Yi.

With a place to live, Lin Yi can temporarily settle down and think about the path he wants to take in the future.

Now, Lin Yi knows that he has three specialties, painting tigers, making tea, and repairing books.

It's just a pity that this kind of unique activity of painting tigers can't be eaten as food, unless you decide to take the "fake" route and sell the fake of Master Liu Jidian. According to the essence of his own tiger painting, it is estimated that few people can recognize it.

Brewing tea, at this time, if you go to any high-end tea house, it is estimated that you can apply for a tea doctor, or a tea master, but it's a pity that I'm tired of this kind of low-level life of working for people.

Finally, the restoration of books, this line is definitely very promising, especially in the face of the current tide of collecting, many precious ancient books need to be repaired, but the problem is, you are not famous, and you have no stores, who will trust you, let you hold hundreds of thousands of millions of ancient books, where to fight? What's more, his ability to restore ancient books by himself is even more invisible.

At this moment, Lin Yi knew that although he had three seemingly awesome abilities, he couldn't eat, let alone a way to get rich. As for financial investment, Lin Yi is even more ignorant in this regard, in the past, he may have used the money to buy a house and buy gold like many people, and then put his wealth in the bank to earn interest, otherwise, he will open a small restaurant, find a small storefront, sell and sell cold rice noodles, sell sugar, tobacco and alcohol, but now it is different, because Lin Yi has already decided the direction he wants to go in the future-

Pick up the books, pick up the leaks!

Make a fortune by digging for used books and become the first-ever used book tycoon!

The book has its own golden house——!!!

Recently, Lin Yi read some news, it is said that the "Bureau Post" handwritten by the great writer Zeng Gong of the Song Dynasty was sold for 270 million yuan in the night auction of Chinese calligraphy and painting treasures. This document includes the above paragraph and the date, but it is only one hundred and twenty-four words, and the average is about 1.67 million yuan per word.

The Yuan manuscript "The Twelve Volumes of the Two Han Policies" is a book of concern in the academic and book collection circles, and has been rumored to be a manuscript of Zhao Meng for 400 years. By the Ming and Qing dynasties handed over the collection, Ming Jiajing between the storage of Zhou Liangjin, the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty into the Mao family Ji Gu Pavilion, the Qing Dynasty Qianlong period for Zhang Chaole to obtain, the end of the Qing Dynasty and for the Wanyan Jingxian collection. There are Weng Fanggang, Wang Jie, Qian Daxin, Sun Shiyi, Yuan Mei and others inscribed in the book, and there are many seals, and there are more than 80 seals before and after Mao's Jigu Pavilion. In the China Guardian Auction of Rare Books and Rare Books, the auction started at 9 million yuan, and after nearly 70 fierce bidding, it was finally sold for 48.3 million yuan, setting a new record for the edition.

Abroad, Christie's auctioned in the United Kingdom, in order to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, a special auction of four volumes of Shakespeare's first edition of 1632, and finally after fierce bidding, the auction price was as high as 3.69 million US dollars, equivalent to 24.35 million yuan.

According to Taoshu Notes, Mr. Wei Li, the greatest collection of old books and ancient books in China, has a "library building" of more than 600 square meters, with a collection of more than 8,000 books and more than 70,000 rare books. Among them, there are more than 50 pieces and more than 200 volumes of Song and Yuan Dynasty and previous periodicals and manuscripts, nearly 20 books and more than 300 volumes of Song and Yuan Dynasty revisions and Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasty revisions, more than 1,200 Ming periodicals and more than 10,000 volumes, more than 800 school books and manuscripts approved by famous artists, more than 600 movable type books, and more than 1,700 kinds of inscriptions...... All calculated into the auction price, as high as 6.5 billion, if you calculate the appreciation potential, it is even more terrifying!

……

This is the used book market, this is the old book collection, as long as you have luck, vision, means, plus a certain amount of financial support, you can become famous overnight and become a well-known used book tycoon.

Lin Yi believes in his nose, in his own vision, and in the increasingly popular used book buying and selling market in this world, as well as the high collection heatwave.

Maybe one day, I can stand at the peak of the world's second-hand book collection and tell everyone, what you can do, I Lin Yi can do the same!

……

Now that he has decided on the path he wants to take in the future, Lin Yi began to conduct a detailed study of used books and the used book trading market.

First of all, what are the sources of old books.

Lin Yi estimates that there are three sources.

First of all, it comes from the scrap yard.

The books they read are sold to people who walk the streets to collect scrap, who resell them to scrap yards. At the scrap yard, they are sorted and then sold by second-hand dealers, and then the second-hand book stalls and second-hand bookstore owners who are engaged in buying and selling second-hand books take books from second-hand dealers and then trade them, and finally, they end up with second-hand book lovers.

Lin Yi once went to some local scrap yards, and he really wanted to buy some old books that he loved to read, but the people at the scrap yards didn't sell them. The reason is that Lin Yi only picks up what he wants to see and buys it, so for the people who buy the station, it will be a loss. Because, they will mix the old books they collect according to the new and old, thick and thin, etc., and sell them to the used book stall owners at a fixed price.

Secondly, from the library.

The libraries of some government agencies, institutions, and schools will also handle the collection of books from time to time. Among Lin Yi's old books, there are those from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Library, Nandu Sanhao Middle School, the local No. 5 Middle School, No. 22 Middle School, the Cotton Mill, the No. 2 Rubber Factory, and the Freezing Factory. The used books of these school enterprises are generally sold in packages. If any second-hand book stall owner can come across such a business, it can make a small profit.

Finally, from the publishing house.

The books published by the publishing house are sold to the hands of people who love to read books through the distribution system of Xinhua Bookstore from top to bottom. However, due to the inaccurate sales forecast of some books by the publishing house, sometimes, a certain book will be too large to be sold, what should be done about these books that cannot be sold? The publisher will then package it into a professional book sales website. However, such old books are generally brand new, and they are sold on the official network at a discount, so it is difficult to find a leak.

After Lin Yi finished researching, he understood that the third one needed huge funds and network channels, and he couldn't do it for the time being; The second needs a good opportunity, which can be met but not sought; Only the first one is the simplest and most practical, not to mention that I am taking the route of "picking up books and leaks", and it seems that I have to deal with the scrap station.

Isn't it ridiculous that a millionaire goes to a scrapyard to pick up used books?

In fact, even Lin Yi himself thought it was funny.

……

Lin Yi thinks that he is a newcomer to buying and selling old books, so he humbly hopes to learn the skills of acquiring old books from some seniors, such as Dong Glasses, Liu Sanliang, and even Wang Heizi and He Xiangu.

However, it is a pity that since Lin Yi became famous in the first battle, he has become a unique existence in the God of Wealth Temple, and the sequelae of this incident have also been revealed.

First of all, as soon as the big guy saw him, he called him "Lin Million" or "Leak King", and some even shouted directly: "Our millionaire has come to pick up leaks again." ”

Lin Yi laughed at these titles full of jealousy, after all, it is common to hate the poor and the rich, as long as the ideological realm is not high enough to "serve the people wholeheartedly", seeing someone get rich overnight, it is inevitable that there is something bad in his heart.

Secondly, those female friends who set up stalls in the God of Wealth Temple looked at Lin Yi's eyes wrongly, their eyes were shining with golden light, licking the corners of their mouths, just like the female goblin in Journey to the West saw Tang Seng meat, so that Lin Yi had to avoid the charming eyes thrown by them, for fear of being drowned in the autumn waves.

However, what made Lin Yi feel super depressed was that no matter what kind of book he picked up at which bookstall, the book would immediately be told not to sell, and the stall owner was highly vigilant, and would hold it tightly in his arms like a child, as if he had suddenly found a peerless golden egg and was ready to hatch it by his own strength.

Lin Yi understood what they meant, and was afraid that he would miss it again, thinking that the books he liked were all valuable.

God, in fact, Lin Yi just flipped through those books casually, without the slightest attempt to pick up leaks, to be precise, even if he really had the intention of picking up leaks, he would not be so blatant, after all, everyone knows that he Lin Yi is now "sharp-eyed" and "turning books into gold".

In short, the Temple of Wealth is a place that cannot be played, and the big guys are guarding against him like a woman against a pervert, for fear that he Lin Yi will pick up some valuable old books again.

For such a change, Lin Yi was a little unexpected, and he didn't feel very comfortable. However, what made him even more uncomfortable was that Huang Jiaotou did not come.

In the past, when Huang Jiaotou was here, the big guys would all ignore this guy who sat upright and looked like a fool under the big sun, but suddenly he was missing, and he always felt that something was wrong.

Lin Yi felt that something was wrong, so he asked someone, and people who were familiar with Huang Jiaotou said that his paralyzed old lady had an accident and was hospitalized.

It turned out that not long ago, Huang Jiaotou went out to run errands and wanted to entrust the old lady to take care of others, but no one was willing to accept it, helplessly, Huang Jiaotou had to prepare a qiē thing and put the old lady alone at home. The old lady felt sorry for her son, so she climbed from the bed to the ground, and wanted to pull the list to wash herself, but she accidentally knocked over the tea bottle, and the boiling water burned directly on the old lady's hands and legs. The old lady endured it, but she didn't say a word until Huang Jiaotou came back......

"You can imagine it......" the man sighed, "how uncomfortable is the head of the Yellow Sect...... The old lady was hurriedly sent to the hospital, and this large amount of silver was spent in it, but it did not get better. ”

After Lin Yi heard this, his first reaction was, should he do something and send money over, would he ask for it? According to Huang Jiaotou's brainlessness, even if he dies poor, he will not kowtow to ask for help, not to mention that this matter itself is because of him, he must be very self-blaming, let alone ask for help and charity from others.

Sometimes a man's self-esteem is also a poison, the poison of chronic suicide.

Seeing Lin Yi's dazed expression after hearing this, the man said intentionally flatteringly: "No one can help with this, let's take a look and talk about it; By the way, I heard that you are inquiring about the source of used books, and I heard that a lot of old books have come to the Dushan scrapyard recently, and these guys are ready to go to Taobao, do you want to go and see it too? ”

Lin Yi smiled, took out a box of Chinese stuff and gave it to the other party, and said, "Thank you, it's okay to go and take a look, if you want to pick up the leak here, I don't think it's hopeful." ”

The man took a cigarette, and the beauty bubbled, so he grinned and flattered: "Who made you sharp-eyed, just ask the whole Nandu to play old books, who can get rich overnight like you, don't you know, you are about to make the four heavenly kings jealous to death, and you are the super idol of all of us." ”

Lin Yi smiled and said no more.

It seems that being an idol is not necessarily a good thing.
