As time went on, at five o'clock in the morning, the whole "ghost market" became more and more lively, and many street vendors who had just arrived rode electric vehicles, carried fish skin bags, or had cardboard boxes tied to the front and back of the car. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When they arrived at the destination, before they could stabilize the electric car, a large group of people had already gathered around Hula, and in the night, it was like a pack of wolves smelling their prey, full of weirdness.

Most of those vendors are veterans, and they know that the more they are at this time, the more they can't rush to take out the good things, so they are like fishing, first throwing out some inconspicuous cheap books and big road goods, and first attracting a group of bookworms who don't understand the market to pounce.

When these people were almost done, one of the bosses slowly took out a pile of old goods from the trunk of the electric car, and Lin Yi saw that it was two super-thick copies of "New Year's Paintings" published by Shanghai Picture Society.

Seeing this, Lin Yi was like a shark in the sea, and immediately stared at these two super-thick New Year's paintings. Because he clearly knows that the collection value of "New Year's Paintings" has become a new favorite in the used book market.

In today's thrift market, "New Year's paintings" as a kind of folk art has become the favorite of many collectors, and with the rise of New Year's paintings, a kind of New Year's paintings--- New Year's pictures are more and more loved and valued by collectors, this kind of exquisite pattern album has become the new favorite of the collection market.

From the end of the 50s to the beginning of the 90s of the last century, the vast majority of art publishing houses in the country have printed miniature samples of their large New Year paintings in order to promote New Year's paintings, and published them in numbered albums and sent them to Xinhua bookstores in provinces, cities and counties, as internal materials for ordering New Year's paintings, which is the miniature sample of New Year's paintings.

First of all, the miniature of New Year paintings has a certain historical value. It can be said that the miniature of the New Year painting is a unique kind of literary and historical materials, which reflects the national events, social overview, folk customs and so on of the year, with distinctive characteristics of the times and a strong interest in life, and is a very intuitive material for people to understand the historical events and social features of the last century.

Secondly, it has a strong appreciation for art. Before the 80s of the last century, most of the New Year's paintings were painted by famous artists, with skillful painting skills, delicate brushstrokes, and expressive landscapes.

Thirdly, the miniature circulation of New Year's pictures is small, and the number of surviving pictures is small, which has a certain collection and investment value. The miniatures are mostly printed samples for promotional ordering, often gifted by publishers to familiar distributors, and as a result, their print runs are extremely limited, ranging from a few hundred copies to a few thousands. After the end of the subscription period for calendars and New Year's paintings, these miniatures have no use value for distributors, and most of them are discarded at will. As a result, there is only a limit to what remains. Nowadays, many of the extinct paintings of the elderly can be glimpsed from the miniature. Moreover, most of these New Year's pictures are single-sided color printing, the paper of the album is exquisite, and the printing is clear and exquisite, especially the New Year's pictures in the fifties and sixties of the last century, which are mostly printed with organic pigments, with gorgeous colors, beautiful, and have a strong visual impact.

Nowadays, the price of the miniature sample of New Year's pictures is classified according to the age, except for the price of rare varieties in the world, the price of most varieties of miniature samples of New Year's pictures is about 100 yuan.

From 1989 to 1980, the miniature New Year paintings of this period were roughly between 30 yuan and 100 yuan, and the general price of a large number of photographic works was low, because this period reflected the impetuous atmosphere of people in the new era, and the whole miniature seemed empty and meaningless; At the higher end of the price spectrum are the miniatures of a large number of paintings, which at least retain the essence of the art of painting.

From 1966 to 1979, this period included the Cultural Revolution, so the content of the New Year paintings had a very unique political style, and the prices of any publishing house were relatively high, generally between 100 yuan and 500 yuan.

From 1958 to 1965, the miniature samples of New Year's paintings during this period were also on the high side because the content included the "Great Leap Forward", so the price was roughly between 800 yuan and 1,500 yuan.

From 1950 to 1957, the miniature of New Year's paintings during this period of time basically includes the famous works of the famous people in Tiannan and Haibei across the country, and the style inherits a lot of elements of the Republic of China, especially the New Year's paintings with folklore and folk tale materials, each of which is beautiful, and now such a fine New Year's painting miniature is not sold in wheels, but is sold in wheels, and often a small 32 New Year's pictures are miniature loose pages, which can be sold for 20 yuan to 50 yuan.

At this moment, the vendor took out two thick copies of "New Year's Pictures in Miniature" published in Shanghai in the fifties and sixties, looking at the appearance, one book is at least one or two hundred pages, according to this price calculation, almost one will cost 4,000 to 10,000 yuan.

Sure enough, the vendors seemed to regard these two miniature books as treasures, and there were three or four bookworms who didn't have long eyes who wanted to go over to "have a look", but they were all sentenced: "8,000 yuan a book, do you want it?" "I choked back.

For these hard-working bookworms who get up in the middle of the night to buy books, there are the most who don't have silver in their pockets, and there are very few who can take out 8,000 oceans at once.

Therefore, their expressions are very funny, some are embarrassed like Kong Yiji who can't pay for the wine, but there are also some scholars who are angry that they have been wiped face.

Lin Yi's pockets were bulging, so he didn't have such troubles, so he took the initiative to talk to the vendor with a horizontal nose and vertical eyes, and said, "Let me take a look." The tone was relaxed, and he didn't seem to take the "8,000 yuan" of the vendor just now.

The vendor was wearing a military coat, snorting his nose, looking at him, maybe he felt that Lin Yi was wearing a very strong edge, at least the Bosideng down jacket on his body needed thousands of silver, like a rich man, so he handed over the two miniatures, and told him: "Don't get me dirty, be clean, pay attention to hygiene--- the quality of this thing is very important, a page is dozens!" After speaking, he sniffed his nose again and scolded: "The weather that the dog said, why do you always have a cold!" "I wanted to find paper to blow my nose, but I couldn't find it, so I just wiped it with the sleeve of my cotton coat and was done.

Lin Yi took the two miniatures of the New Year's paintings, took off the gloves he was wearing, so as not to stain the miniatures, and the few bookworms who were anxious next to him also surrounded him, wanting to follow Lin Yi to see what was in the miniatures of this treasure.

Lin Yi habitually opened a miniature catalogue page first, but it was the first edition of "New Year Paintings" by Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House in 1957, looking at the catalogue, which included Wu Shaoyun's "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl Smiling", Xu Jiping's "Agricultural Eight-Character Constitution", Zhang Leping's "Peace and Happiness", Li Mubai, Jin Xuechen's "Sword Dance" and "Princess Wencheng", Yan Shaotang, Chen Guangyi, Wang Yushan, Qian Xiaodu's "Great Scientist Zhang Heng", Xie Zhiguang's "Great Friendship" and other exquisite works of art.

Regardless of the condition of this miniature, just these many famous artists can also conclude that this is a rare masterpiece in the absolute miniature. Turning the inside page and looking at it again, the bookworms who were watching next to them were immediately surprised, one word, beautiful! Two words, beautiful! The outstanding skills of the old artists leap onto the page, whether it is a figure painting or a landscape painting, all of them are beautiful, beautiful, and have a strong visual impact.

Looking at the other book, it is "New Year Pictures in Miniature" (Volume 1) published by Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House in 1965. Lin Yi opened the catalogue and saw that this book brought together Li Mubai and Jin Xuechen's "Universal Celebration", "Chairman Mao Meets with Model Workers", "Tiantou Hygienist", Han Min's "Chairman Mao and Our Heart to Heart", Liu Wangbin's "People's Commune Four Screens", Jin Meisheng's "Good Seed Selection, High Yield Every Year", Liu Danzhai's "Rural Cultural Life Screen", Fang Zengxian's "After-school Labor Map", Zhang Daxin's "Summer Camp Morning", Gu Bingxin, Han Heping, Compass, Jin Kui's "Embroidered Portraits of Hongyan Heroes", Zhang Biwu's " The Eighth Route Army's Pingxingguan Victory", Hua Sanchuan's "White-Haired Female Screen", Zheng Jiasheng's "Liu Hulan", Sheng Liangxian, Shen Yiru's "Class Hatred in the Heart" and dozens of other painters' works.

A volume in hand, many famous masterpieces, exquisite New Year's paintings, propaganda posters, middle hall paintings, couplets, etc., the New Year's paintings are filled with festive emotions from the heart, there is a kind of "heaven increases the years and people increase longevity" of heaven and man, the realm of open-mindedness, gives people the spirit of "Tianxingjian, the gentleman with self-improvement", which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Looking at the thickness of the two miniatures of the New Year's paintings, the total is almost 400 pages, which means that buying them is equivalent to collecting more than 400 works by famous artists. It's a good deal, but it's the price......

Lin Yi remained silent and returned the two miniatures of the New Year's paintings to the vendor who was staring at him.

The bookworms who were watching showed unfinished meaning on their faces one by one, and they seemed to be complaining a little about why Lin Yi returned the book so quickly, so that they couldn't take a few more looks.

The vendor thought that Lin Yi would like it if he looked at it so carefully and carefully, and he "couldn't put it down", but he didn't expect him to return it so soon, so he couldn't help asking, "How is it, do you like it?" ”

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "It's not bad, the subject matter is quite old, and the quality is okay." ”

The vendor looked at him and continued to ask, "Then what price can you give?" ”

Lin Yi touched his chin and muttered: "8,000 pieces is too much, although this kind of New Year's painting is rare, but it is not something that ordinary people can collect." ”

"Of course, what price can you pay for something thousands of dollars---?"

Lin Yi drew a six.

"6,000 yuan? Is it 6000 a book? ”

"No, it's two 6000!" Lin Yi corrected.

"you, stay cool, I thought it was a buyer, but I came to make trouble." The vendor exasperated.

The others also looked at Lin Yi with mocking eyes, thinking that you were a big money, and it turned out that you were poor like us.

Lin Yi was neither ashamed nor annoyed, and said very calmly: "There is a reason why I handed you this price......

"What's the reason, you say come and listen, if you can't say one, two, three, I'm not done with you." The vendors also came to the show.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You calculate the price of these two books according to the page number, while I calculate the whole book." Yes, each page of a miniature like this can be sold as a picture on its own, but who will buy these loose pages? I think most of them are this kind of miniature sample in hand, but unfortunately there is a page number missing, so I will spend 30 or 50 yuan to buy it, so as to make up for my own miniature. But after all, there are not many such people, more people want to buy the whole book at once--- just like me, I am very sincere to buy, if you want, we will sell for 6,000 yuan, and you don't have to stay up for a week to wait for other customers...... It's not that I said, there are very few people who will buy this kind of thing, and there are very few people who understand the market, so try to sell when you can, you sell old books, and the pressure is money, and the faster the flow of funds, the more money you can make, isn't it? ”

Lin Yi's words made the vendor dumbfounded, how did he know that I was short of money recently? How did he know that I had been selling this book for a week and still hadn't sold it?

In fact, it is very simple, just now Lin Yi saw the plastic bag wrapped outside the miniature, which was obviously a commodity packaging bag, and there was also the date of sale of the product on it; The headlights of the electric vehicles ridden by the vendors were broken, and people like him who did a "ghost market" business did not repair them in time, and they could only lack money for one reason.

Do business and bargain for the heart.

For many street vendors, getting up early and making a little money is a little bit, and if they want to not open for three years, they can only afford to open an antique shop owner for three years.

A small business can't afford it.

Besides, he originally shouted 8,000, which was also to scare those bookworms, and the real psychological price was only about three or four thousand, haven't you heard of it, this kind of buying and selling is cut in half.

So after a little hesitation, the vendor said very simply: "Okay, 6,000 yuan, deal!" ”

The other bookworms were annoyed for a while, they knew that they could win it for 6,000 yuan, and the big guy didn't have to delay his work so blindly, so that he was exploited by others--- but on the other hand, if they really let them take out 6,000 to buy these two books at once, it is estimated that it will be a pain in the eye.

Lin Yi smiled, if he picked up two leaks before because of his eyesight, then now he relies on his mouth.

6,000 yuan buys something worth almost tens of thousands, is this omission small or big?! (To be continued.) )
