Chapter 375. Lao Tzu does not sell

As the man lifted the red cloth on the object he was holding, Lin Yi immediately smelled a strong smell of ancient books. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Needless to say, there are very few rare books that can impress Lin Yi's mood and let Lin Yi smell the fragrance of books with his ability, and the book exposed in front of him can overflow with such a strong fragrance of books, there is no doubt that it is definitely a treasure.

If Lin Yi was faintly surprised by this, then when he saw clearly what that book was, his surprise was even greater.

Because that book is --- "Six Classics Diagram"!

How is it possible that there are two "Six Classics Diagrams"?

……

Lin Yi guessed many thoughts, but he didn't guess that Lu Sanye would come out with another "Six Classics Map".

Seeing Lin Yi in a daze, Lu Sanye smiled and said, "Aren't you very strange, how can I still have a "Six Classics Map"? Ah San, show this book to Mr. Lin. ”

The man said "yes" and walked in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was finally able to read this book up close, and then he realized that the "Six Classics" in front of him was very different from the one auctioned just now.

In contrast, the decoration of this book is more beautiful, with a large eight-open folio, six original volumes, and when he opened it, Lin Yi was stunned, only to see that each book was covered with the Qianlong jade seal, a typical old collection of "Tianlu Linlang".

Seeing that Lin Yi seemed a little surprised, Lu Sanye smiled slightly, and explained beside him, saying that this book was the old collection of Emperor Qianlong, and many big collectors at that time thought that this book was the Song version, so the yellow silk signature of each book was written "Song version of the Six Classics".

The book was recorded in the third volume of the Tianlu Linlang Bibliography, and on September 15, 1922, the Xuantong Emperor Pu Yi gave this book to Pu Jie. After this book followed Pu Jie to Tianjin, it later existed in the Changchun Puppet Manchu Palace. In 1945, after Japan's surrender, the book was released from the Imperial Palace and obtained by Mr. Liu Yanfu. After 1949, Liu Yanfu brought the book to Taiwan, then to the United States, and then photocopied and published the book. The photocopy of the publication is a preface by Mr. Chen Lifu and a financial support provided by Mr. Sun Famin. This photocopy was widely circulated, making the book a famous item.

Hearing this, Lin Yi became even more curious, this Lu Sanye is really powerful, and he was able to buy this book from the United States and treasure it in his own hands.

Lu Sanye continued to talk eloquently and told Lin Yi the origin and story of this book.

It is said that the old collection of Emperor Qianlong, there are two books that can be used as representatives, that is, the "Shiqu Baoji", which specializes in recording calligraphy and painting, and the "Tianlu Linlang", which specializes in recording ancient books. In today's art auction market, in the ancient calligraphy and painting section, all the calligraphy and paintings recorded in "Shiqu Baoji" can be auctioned for a large price regardless of authenticity, with an average price of tens of millions of yuan. However, the ancient books recorded in "Tianlu Linlang" can never sell the calligraphy and paintings recorded in the same grade of "Shiqu Baoji".

This so-called Song version of the "Six Classics" is actually an engraved copy of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials in the 43rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, but it does not affect this book as the old collection of "Tianlu Linlang". The book was estimated at 2.5 million to 2.8 million yuan, and based on the market at that time, Lu Sanye estimated that it would be about 3.5 million yuan. However, when the book was photographed on the spot, it started at 2.4 million yuan, and he took the book down with just one gesture, which made him happy for many days.

In fact, he felt that an important reason for the fact that he was able to auction the book at such a low price was a small mistake in the synopsis text in the catalogue, which stated that "this book is stored in volumes 13 to 15", indicating that the book is a fragment. In fact, this is a complete book, when Lu Sanye was reading the book, he carefully read it many times, and only after confirming it was undoubtedly decided to take the book down.

After telling the story of this book, Lu Sanye looked at Lin Yi with a very interesting gaze and said, "Now are you curious, what is the one I auctioned just now?" ”

Lin Yi was of course curious, in comparison, that book seemed to be much cheaper than this one, and the grade was much lower.

"The ancient book world is so funny, many ancient books marked with the Song version are actually Ming editions, many ancient books marked with Ming editions are actually Qing editions--- yes, the "Six Classics Map" I auctioned off just now is actually a clear edition, but it is also a very good version, in that era, it is not easy to imitate the taste of the Ming version."

Lin Yi fainted.

I lost countless treasures, but I didn't find this flaw. I actually regarded the Qing engraving as the Ming version, and I competed with others, which was really embarrassing.

Seeing that Lin Yi's old face was red, Lu Sanye smiled and said, "Don't be embarrassed, even if Zhang Siye and the Du Junshi beside him didn't see it, it's not surprising that you couldn't see it." ”

This sentence made Lin Yi even more embarrassed, not because he couldn't see it, but because he was so interested in this book that his heart was disturbed, otherwise he could identify the actual version of the previous book just by his ability to smell the ancient fragrance.

"If the last Qing engraving version of the "Six Classics" can now be auctioned for 500,000 yuan, then what should my rare book with the Qianlong jade seal and the typical "Tianlu Linlang" old collection be?" Lu Sanye looked at Lin Yi with a smile.

Lin Yi sighed and said, "If my guess is right, it's at least tens of millions now." ”

Lu Sanye smiled and praised: "Good eyesight!" Then he said, "Do you know why that Fourth Master would go to great lengths to bid for my book?" At the beginning, his surname Zhang was very bold in buying books, and he planned to receive 100,000 ancient books within five years, and then build his own collection, and now he has negotiated eight acres of land and is ready to start building a building, but unfortunately, he met me. ”

Lu Sanye smiled and continued: "He only knows that I have a rare "Six Classics" in my hand, and he is bound to win it when it is auctioned today, in order to give me a dismount, let me know how powerful he is, and the determination to build a building to collect books, but he doesn't think about it, what kind of rare book is 500,000 ancient books, if it is really a rare book, how can I easily take it out for auction?" ”

Lin Yi sighed again: "It seems that Master Du has really lost his eyes, and he is probably still complacent thinking that he helped the master pick up a big leak." ”

"Let them be happy! As a collector, it is rare to pick up a leak at auction, and it is even more rare for an opponent like me to be deflated--- I just hope that they don't wake up too early in this dream. Lu Sanye's tone was full of ridicule.

"What about me, should I envy you for having such a rare ancient book, or should I be glad that I didn't win the bid?" Lin Yi suddenly asked.

Lu Sanye didn't answer, but reached out and touched the "Six Classics" worth tens of millions, and said: "I know that this book is the only one missing from the collection you inherited, and I know that you wholeheartedly want to make up for this regret." But after listening to what I've said so much, you should also understand that you can't do this regret. But it doesn't matter, this book can't go to you, but your collection of books can come to me, so won't there be no regrets? ”

Lin Yi understood, and finally understood, this old man Lu said a lot of things, and acted in such a play, with only one purpose, that is, to "brighten his muscles", so that he could understand that he couldn't resist, and sold all the inherited books.

"Alas!" Lin Yi sighed. "Why bother, old man, if you really want to buy these books, just say it, why bother making so many battles, auctions, and momentum, soft and hard, like a war."

"Hehe, there's no way, who told you to refuse to see me. As a collector in the ancient book industry, I have always loved books, and it just so happens that my collection still lacks a lot of rare books, and it just so happens that you break in at this time and engage in an exhibition of rare books...... What does this mean? It shows that I have a lot of fate with your books. ”

Lin Yi smiled: "I'm also very close to you, aren't I?" ”

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have been so calm to talk to you so much and for so long. Young man, make a price, how much does that batch of books cost? Lu Sanye said angrily.

Lin Yi showed a strange smile: "How much can you come up with?" ”

Lu Sanye smiled, then took out a blank check from his pocket and said, "You can write a number, you can have as much as you want." After speaking, he handed Lin Yi a pen.

Lin Yi took the pen, without thinking, swiped it and wrote it on the check, and then handed it back.

Lu Sanye is very happy, those who know the times are Junjie, and there is nothing in this world that money can't solve.

But when he looked at the check, he was stunned, and saw that a few words were written on the check---Lao Tzu does not sell!"

……

Slap in the face!

Lu Sanye felt that an old face was hot and painful.

He never thought that the young man in front of him would dare to play tricks on himself like this.

"You're not kidding, boy, are you?" Lu Sanye was already furious.

Lin Yi still had the same expression, shrugged his shoulders and said, "For me, there is no joke to make with you, although I respect you very much." ”

"Good, good!" Lu Sanye said fiercely, "I hope you don't regret this decision." ”

"Don't worry, I'm a child from the countryside, and children in the countryside can always endure hardships and accept all kinds of challenges."

"But the consequences of many things are not something you can bear."

"If you don't try, how do you know?" Lin Yi smiled.

Lu Sanye was furious, stood up, glanced at Lin Yi viciously, and finally said to the people around him: "Let's go!" ”

……

Looking at the back of Lu Sanye leaving, Lin Yi let out a sigh, no one knew how much pressure he was under just now.

Just like Lu Sanye said, Lin Yi knew very well that whether it was financial resources or strength, he couldn't even fight against that SN electrical boss Zhang Siye, and where was he qualified to fight against this Lu Sanye, who was second to none in Jinling.

I don't know who said it, the ancient book world is a river and lake, where there are rivers and lakes, there is good and evil, and there is fighting.

In front of him, Lin Yi couldn't do anything but wait for the storm to come.

Tomorrow is the first day of the exhibition of ancient books, and as for the storm, will it come? (To be continued.) )
