Chapter 373. Clever and scheming

Many people don't understand that collecting ancient books can make people obsessed, it can also make people crazy, and it can also make people unscrupulous and lose their character and faith. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info think that people who like books must have a gentle temperament and treat people kindly. However, since ancient times, there have been no really great collectors, those who are truly obsessed with collecting books, who are not crazy.

First of all, he likes to collect books and paintings, and the first to recommend the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Ancient books record that after the death of Wang Xi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Lanting preface was collected by his descendants, and then passed to his seventh grandson monk Zhiyong, after Zhiyong passed away, he passed on to his disciples to distinguish the monk, and the treasure was hidden on the beam after the order was obtained. During the Tang Zhenguan period, Taizong likes calligraphy, loves Wang Xizhi's words, but regrets not getting the orchid pavilion order, and then heard that the monk has an orchid pavilion order, so he summoned the talent, but the talent said that he had seen this order, but he did not know the whereabouts, Taizong meditated hard, and did not know how to get it. Soon, Tang Taizong enabled the supervision of the imperial history Xiao Yi, let him dress up as an ordinary person, bring Wang Xizhi miscellaneous pastes a few, slowly approached the identification of talents, deceived the good impression and trust of the identification of talents, in the process of talking about Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, distinguish the talent took out the orchid pavilion preface, Xiao Yi deliberately said that this word is not necessarily genuine, distinguish the order of the orchid pavilion no longer hide on the beam, casually put on a few, one day after leaving home, Xiao Yi took advantage of the reason to go to the house to obtain the orchid pavilion order, and then Xiao Yi summoned the identification of the imperial history to distinguish the talent, the identification of the talent suddenly realized, knowing that he was deceived but hated late, Xiao Yi returned to Chang'an after the Lan Pavilion, and Taizong rewarded him heavily.

Secondly, Yan Song, a traitor who likes to collect books.

Yan Song's library in Kyoto has "Tsuyamado", "Zhongbi Hall", "Tingyu Building", "Yeonenkaku" and so on. In the hometown and build the name of the "Baohan Building", the site is Nanchang, the Jiajing Emperor's imperial book "Qionghan Liuhui" to give. There are two "exceptional" books in the collection of Bao Han Building. First of all, there are a lot of books in the Song and Yuan dynasties, according to Wang Shizhen's "Persona of the Ruling and Opposition Parties": "There are 6,853 books on the Song plate of Yan Song's family. "Secondly, there are a lot of manuscripts, a total of 2,613 copies, so many manuscripts are basically copies of the rare Song and Yuan versions of books in the palace secret pavilion, so they are particularly precious. According to the "Examination of Shigutang Calligraphy and Painting": ""Yan's Book Album": 2,613 hand-copied Song and Yuan books, which were not included in the university. A total of 5,852 books and sets of classics, histories, children, and collections were issued and collected by various Confucianists; One should be the Tao, the Buddha each sutra decided 914 parts, sets, sent to the temple to recite. "Biographies of Four Hundred and Fifty People in the Past Dynasties? Yan Song also mentioned that when Yan Song cut his job and copied his family, "6,766 scriptures, histories, children, and collections, and 358 pieces of stone carvings in Yulou" were confiscated. Yan Song's collection of books is printed with "Jiexi Treasures", "Chashantang Book Seal", "Chashantang Family Collection of Scriptures and History" and so on.

It can be seen that Yan Song's collection of books is amazing, and the high level is rare. Being able to reach such a scale shows Yan Song's preference for books on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also shows that he uses power and status to grab it by unscrupulous means. Although the collection of books in Baohan Building is unparalleled, it does not belong to Yan Song for a long time. In 1565, when his house was raided, it was confiscated, and with the end of Yan Song's political life, the collection of books in Baohan House also disappeared.

The above emperor and a traitor are all great collectors in history, they can rely on their power to seize and collect any books they like, and this is still the case, those who are powerful are still great collectors, and they can still do whatever they want to get by any means, such as Lu Sanye, what he wants to get, there is nothing he can't get. He was obsessed with books, and he also tried all his tricks to get Lin Yi's batch of rare books, and he made up his mind to get it.

……

As a new four-grade collector, Lin Yi may be very good at the identification of ancient books, but when it is his turn to deal with various schemes, he is a little tender.

Therefore, the next day, he brought the auction invitation and came to the art auction site of "Bohai Auction House" happily. In order to make up enough for that set of printmaking books and get the "Six Classics Map", Lin Yi also put in a lot of effort, did enough research, and was full of confidence.

But when Lin Yi arrived at the auction site, he found that the atmosphere at the scene seemed to be a little wrong, because in addition to him, there were also several strangely behaved buyers at the auction site.

In art auctions, the conventional way is to arrange the seats under the stage neatly, and buyers come to the scene and choose the position they want to sit in. Most experienced buyers will choose to sit at the back of the auction room so that they can observe the auction and see who is competing with them for the same lot. And the seller sits in the back, with the same psychology, according to the degree of understanding of the big buyer, and takes the opportunity to hold his lot a few times. In fact, this practice of buyers and sellers is just a kind of psychological warfare, Lin Yi has been taught in Hong Kong auction houses and Nandu auction houses, and I think this is a game of cat and mouse, whether it is a high road or a magic high, it is really hard to say.

Since collecting books, Lin Yi has often patronized those auction houses in order to collect his favorite editions of books, and he is often hesitant to choose a seat in the auction room, and there are disadvantages to sitting in the back, because there will be acquaintances who look back and indicate whether they can raise their noble hands. Although there is a disadvantage to sitting in the front, that is, being stared at by the whole audience and knowing what kind of lot he is buying, there is also an advantage, that is, no one cares, his eyes are only staring at the auctioneer, and any friend asks for it, he can pretend not to see it, but in fact, he is really invisible. But no matter how you choose, in fact, it is still a matter of choosing where to sit among these arranged seats, and few people will think that the seats can be arranged like this.

The people who came in this auction were not limited to the rules of the auction room. Six or seven of them walked to the middle of the auction room, completely ignoring the on-site staff's resistance, pulled out seven chairs to form a fan-shape, and several people sat down, working on the spot as if no one was around.

Bohai's auction venue was originally square, and the posture of these people in the center of the conference room is in line with the traditional Chinese thinking of a round sky. Lin Yi admires these people for being able to break the original mindset and decide their behavior in the way of "the Six Classics Note Me". Everyone at the auction looked at these special buyers with curiosity to see what more extraordinary moves they had.

After the filming started, the eldest of these six or seven people--- of course this was just Lin Yi's judgment, because this person was full of silver hair, Lin Yi felt that this should be Wu Yong in this group, or called Master--- spread the catalogue on his knees, and explained it to the others seriously. The protagonist in this group of people is a middle-aged man in his fifties, and Lin Yi can see from his demeanor that he is a leader, because from the way he dresses, he must not be able to tell. He was dressed very modestly, and his navy blue jacket had been washed slightly white, showing the background of the working class thirty years ago, so that people mistook him for an old driver. Lin Yi knew from everyone's respectful attitude towards him that he had misjudged.

The protagonist is very respectful, the master is responsible for making ideas, and he is responsible for raising the card. But his way of holding the plate is different from ordinary people, whenever he wants to buy a lot, he always slowly holds up the number plate, and then freezes it, and holds it there all the time. When others raised their cards, they were all quickly raised and quickly dropped, hoping that everyone in the audience was blind and did not see it, only the auctioneer saw it, and at the same time stared at the auctioneer, in case he shouted a few empty mouthfuls, so that he spent more money in vain. And this leader completely ignores these clichΓ©s, he holds his head down when he raises the card, his eyes look at the catalogue, and the master discusses something, the raised hand seems to be careless but does not put down, which is inversely proportional to the slowness when he raises the card, until he heard the auctioneer report his number plate, knowing that he has made a deal, he slowly stopped. This calmness and calmness seem to be non-existent for all the competitors in the audience.

His way of raising the card is extremely lethal, because he wants to get the book, and he will not give up until he has it, and everyone does not even have a chance to breathe in the middle. There were also people at the scene who fought with him, but they all lost in the end. In this auction, Lin Yi had more than a dozen books he wanted to obtain, half of which overlapped with him, and all of them fell into his hands.

But it doesn't matter, what Lin Yi wants most is the "Six Classics Map", this book is estimated at about 200,000 yuan, and Lin Yi's psychological price is 350,000 yuan, which is 100,000 yuan higher than the highest price.

But the real result was cruel, no one expected that the competition for this book would be so fierce, like Lin Yi, who was already 100,000 yuan higher, but still couldn't resist the momentum of that person, and the final result of the auction was taken away by the leader for 500,000 yuan.

came back and thought about it, Lin Yi didn't have any psychological obstacles if he added hundreds of thousands of yuan, mainly because his confidence was hit by this person's momentum, and he surrendered hastily before he could raise a few beats.

After the auction, Lin Yi was still sitting in a chair in a daze, and the vicious battle just now was like a nightmare.

At this time, someone came over, came to him, and sat down gently. The man bit a black antique ivory pipe and exhaled a puff of smoke, in which his model was hidden and looked mysterious.

After the man sat down, he glanced at Lin Yi calmly, and asked softly, "Young man, what do you want?" ”

Lin Yi woke up, looked up at him, his face was familiar, and suddenly remembered, isn't this the domineering old man he met in the used bookstore last time?

The man was also a little stunned, and he also recognized Lin Yi, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you." "Meaningful.

"yes, I didn't expect us to meet here again." Lin Yi said, and then asked, "Are you also here to participate in the auction?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "Sort of, but I'm a seller, not a buyer." ”

Lin Yi was taken aback, "Ah, it turns out that the "Six Classics Map" is yours." ”

"Of course, that's a set of books that I really like, but for someone's sake, I put them up for auction today."

Lin Yi let out an "oh", not doubting him, "It's a pity, I also liked that book, but I lost in the end." ”

"What, do you feel unjustly lost?" The old man of the pipe asked, squinting at him.

Lin Yi shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

The old man laughed and said domineeringly: "Then I can tell you that you didn't lose at all--- do you know who the person who bids with you is?" ”

Lin Yi was already very curious about the details of the passers-by, and when he saw that the old man seemed to know, he couldn't wait to ask, "Who is it, is it still a big man?" ”

The old man stared straight at Lin Yi with bright eyes, and then said, "They are all people from SN Electric." ”

Lin Yi asked the old man, "Is it the largest SN electrical appliance in the country?" ”

The old man said: "It's this group--- domestic household appliance sales are basically monopolized by this group, as long as you use electrical appliances, I'm afraid most of them are sold." The person holding the sign is the boss of SN Electric Group, surnamed Zhang, in the book collection industry, many people like to call him Zhang Siye. ”

Lin Yi was a little surprised, not only shocked by the special identity of the other party's electrical tycoon, but also curious that this Nanjing book collection is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and a small auction has actually attracted such a big collector. (To be continued.) )
