Lin Yi didn't expect that the first person to applaud himself would be Tan Jinfu, the man who looked so ordinary at first glance that people couldn't remember walked slowly towards him, and behind him, Wan Jianhao, the richest man in the capital, also looked at Lin Yi curiously, as far as he knew, there were very few people who could be favored by Mr. Tan, and even fewer people who could be applauded by him.

The three bigwigs of Panjiayuan were a little surprised, they never thought that Lin Yi would receive Tan Jinfu's "side eyes". What does it mean, could it be that Lin Yi has already entered the eyes of this great god?

Under the focus of everyone's eyes, I saw that Tan Jinfu walked in front of Lin Yi, and then said with a smile: "Tan Jinfu, get to know me." "Stretched out his hand.

Lin Yi smiled, shook hands with him, and said, "Under Lin Yi, I have admired the name for a long time." ”

Tan Jinfu nodded and said, "Your opinion just now is very interesting, I don't know where you got it from?" ”

Lin Yi smiled, "It's not like it's seeming, it's just that I know a little about calligraphy and painting, and I got my experience after comparing it." ”

"Could it be that Your Excellency is also a master of calligraphy and painting?" Tan Jinfu is strange, seeing that Lin Yi is not very old, it is impossible to be proficient in such a unique skill.

Lin Yi said with a smile: "I just understand a little." ”

"Hehe, I'd like to see it if I have a chance." Tan Jinfu didn't think so, and after saying this, he took a deep look at Lin Yi and turned to leave.

Everyone looked at it, thinking that something earth-shattering would happen, but they didn't expect it to be so few.

But even so, Lin Yi is already impressive.

As an unknown person, Lin Yi was able to be looked at by a great god like Tan Jinfu and be "praised", what a glorious glory it was.

A group of people were extremely envious, and their eyes were about to burst into flames, but Lin Yi, as the person concerned, was indifferent.

……

"Mr. Tan, it's rare to see you take the initiative to greet someone." Wan Jianhao looked at Tan Jinfu with a smile and said. "Well, is that young man interesting?"

"It's kind of interesting, he said his name is Lin Yi."

"Oh, Lin Yi?"

"If my guess is correct, he should be the seven-grade collector, who specializes in old books." Tan Jinfu said slowly.

"Have you inquired about him?"

"There's no need to ask, the circle is too small." Tan Jinfu said.

"Then does he have any research on painting and calligraphy?"

Tan Jinfu nodded, "I heard that his calligraphy and painting are okay, and the evaluation just now, it should be of some level." ”

"It's rare to see you value someone so much...... But compared to Mr. Tan, it is also a glowing light. Wan Jianhao said with a smile. The latter sentence "How can you compete with Haoyue" He didn't say it, with his identity, it's good to point to the end, but if you talk too much, you lose your identity, after all, you don't need to shoot anyone's ass.

After hearing this, Tan Jinfu just smiled and said nothing.

Wan Jianhao saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing--- mainly because Mr. Tan didn't like to talk too much, and he Wan Jianhao was not the kind of person who talked to people casually.

Thinking about it, this auction also relies on Tan Jinfu's appraisal strength, Wan Jianhao broke the silence and took the initiative to ask: "Is the collection of ancient books also in the stream now?" ”

Tan Jinfu thought about it and said: "It's not that it can't enter the stream now, but it has been prevalent since a long time ago." "It seems that I cherish words like gold, and it's a bit bad to say this, after all, people are also big people, and they are paying to hire their own bosses. After thinking about it for a while, Tan Jinfu told Wan Jianhao some of his stories about the collection of ancient books.

It is said that since the reform and opening up, the collection of thread-bound ancient books has begun to quietly appear as a crime. Tan Jinfu was already interested in antiques, ancient books and other collections, and a roommate when he was in school knew that he liked ancient historical books, so he told him a surprising thing: today in an antique bookstore, I saw a pair of young men and women in order to raise marriage funds, sold a set of ancestral woodcut ancient books "Historical Records", large and small six wooden boxes. The asking price is 200 yuan, but the old bookstore only bids 100 yuan. It turned out to be sold.

A friend asked: Can there be so many "Historical Records"?

Tan Jinfu said: There are three more notes; Also because of the big words.

Tan Jinfu was very curious at the time, and immediately rushed to the old bookstore to inquire about it. But the bookstore categorically denied it. Tan Jinfu came back to ask his friend, and his friend said with certainty: I was in front of me at that time, and I would be wrong! After counting the money, the box was moved to the counter.

Only then did Tan Jinfu understand: The bookstore wanted to keep it and sell it for a lot of money, and deliberately denied it. There are unspoken rules in all walks of life, which is the need for secrecy.

At that time, money was valuable. Because the vast majority of people only earn thirty or forty dollars a month. The 100 yuan is equivalent to three months' wages of the average worker's income, not to mention that the young couple is waiting for marriage and is urgent.

According to Tan Jinfu's inference, the six boxes of the "Historical Records" sold by the small couple can be combined into a complete bookshelf. Later, it was judged: it must be ten tables, eight books, twelve books, thirty families, and seventy columns of biography divided into five boxes, plus three notes (about four times the number of characters): Jijie, Suoyin, and Justice are packed in one box, so the wooden box is large and small--- according to Chai Degeng's "Historical Books": three historical notes, to the Song Dynasty engraved under the main text of the "Historical Records"; And the three bets are still single-line; It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the prison came out, and the three families were one. This version must have been the version before the original text of the "Historical Records" in the Ming Dynasty, and it is even more valuable.

This story feels like a dream when I think about it. But it's real. The whereabouts of this set of books can no longer be traced. There is another moving legend in the world. But it is safe to say that it will not disappear from the human world (unless it encounters a disaster). It may have found its way to a large library or museum, or it may have been appropriated by some bureaucrat.

The 100 yuan of that year was indeed money, you must know that in 1983, Chairman Mao's family tree was advertised on "Reference News", and the woodcut book was photocopied in limited edition, that is, a set of 100 yuan. It is intriguing to think about it--- the original owner of the "Historical Records" back then, maybe it was also bought because of frugality, gritting his teeth and stomping his feet; Can he think that he will easily sell it for 100 yuan in the next generation!

It's a terrifying topic – and today's bibliophiles may want to ask themselves: Where will your books go in three generations' time?

When Tan Jinfu finished telling this story, Wan Jianhao became silent.

Since ancient times: no more than three generations of wealth.

Will you be able to break the spell?

Will the treasures that I have worked so hard to collect end up being lost?

……

The preview of the Bohai auction ended quickly.

All parties are collecting all kinds of information at the first time, especially trying to know what the opponent's reserve price is.

The same is true for the three bigwigs of Panjiayuan, Lin Yi just helped them give the appraisal and bidding prices of those lots, and according to the statistics, everyone can see the information of the lots at a glance.

In the past two days, everyone has been walking around each other, feasting each other, trying to get some inside information from the wine table.

Lin Yi didn't like such an occasion, so he attended it once or twice and stayed in the hotel to study. The three bigwigs didn't force him, after all, Lin Yi had helped them enough, and the lot information alone was more detailed than the others.

In ancient times, warfare paid attention to the soldiers and horses before moving, and the grain and grass went first. The same is true for this kind of large-scale auction of Bohai. And the grain and grass here refers to "capital".

You must know that among the 28 artworks auctioned by Bohai this time, the lowest starting price has also reached 1 million. In other words, if you want to participate in this auction, you must have a minimum of 30 million funds on hand to support it, and if you want to win overwhelmingly in this auction, you must also have at least 300 million funds.

The three bigwigs of Panjiayuan are not bad for money, what they are short of is only fame, they just want to use this Bohai auction to make themselves famous and officially enter a higher level of society.

Because for those who are really upper-class and plutocratic, their status is equivalent to that of street stalls. Now they want to get rid of this identity and status, go against the current, and let everyone know that their Panjiayuan triumvirate is by no means in vain.

Therefore, in the next few days, all the people from all walks of life sharpened their knives, stockpiled up ammunition and grain and grass, and waited for the Bohai auction at the end of the year to officially begin.
