The beginning of the new year---

The major TV stations in Beijing were not swiped by last night's Spring Festival Gala program, and what everyone is talking about is not which song is good in the Spring Festival Gala and which sketch is good. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone is talking about the sky-high ancient painting auctioned by Bohai Auction Company yesterday, the "Five Kings Drunk Return" worth 320 million, and of course, the auctioneer Wan Jianhao and the seller Lin Yi of this world-famous treasure.

Wan Jianhao himself is a super-rich man, absolutely eye-catching, but his revelations have almost been dug by the media, so more media can't help but focus on Lin Yi.

Lin Yi is well-known in the southern capital, Jinling, and even in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but he is really --- and unknown in the capital.

The capital has always hidden dragons and crouching tigers, there are countless big collectors, and those who play ancient books are even more proficient, and people like Lin Yi are really not noticed by everyone. But now, everything is different.

"Have you heard of that Lin Yi? Now you're famous! ”

"Of course I know, it's too powerful to pick up more than 300 million!"

"I heard that he used to just play ancient books, but I didn't expect to be so sharp in calligraphy and painting!"

"You don't know this, he is in the southern capital, and Jinling is known as the famous god of leakage."

……

"Who is Lin Yi?"

"Dizzy, you don't even know?"

"Could it be the guy who recently sold more than 300 million yuan on an ancient painting?"

"Who else but him?"

"I'm so lucky, it's against the sky, how can there be such a good thing?"

"Don't believe it, I heard that he used to become famous by picking up leaks, and he also picked up leaks in Hong Kong and Taiwan, with assets of hundreds of millions!"

"Then wouldn't he be more developed this time, so envious!"

"Don't be envious, let's go to the antique market auction house when we have time, maybe the next person to pick up the leak will be you!"

"Haha, I hope so!"

……

In addition to the discussions on the streets and alleys of the capital, there are more overwhelming reports from major media.

"Beijing Daily", headline: You can't be a god if you pick up leaks, see how billionaires are refined!

Then there are all kinds of stories about Lin Yi, especially his stories in his hometown of Nandu, Jinling City, Taiwan and Hong Kong, which were wantonly amplified by this media, making Lin Yi like a goddess of luck possessed, no matter where he goes, he can pick up good things. In the end, this newspaper also ingeniously calculated the assets that Lin Yi roughly picked up, which is good to say, it has reached an unexpectedly six or seven billion in one calculation, plus the 320 million that was missed this time, it is almost one billion.

What is the concept of picking up a billion alone? It is estimated that anyone who reads this report will also be shocked.

In fact, the media slightly exaggerated Lin Yi's assets, especially the part of the collection that Lin Yi inherited in Jinling, which was wrong, because Lin Yi had no intention of keeping that part of the collection for himself.

In any case, the media like to exaggerate, for them, as long as the news can attract attention and attract people to watch, then it is good news, as for the authenticity of the news, it can be "reprocessed".

Compared with the above "Beijing Daily", the "Collection" magazine, which has a very high status in China, also gave a very detailed report on Lin Yi's story, and their headline is: The book has its own golden house--- the intriguing "old book tycoon"!

This magazine directly named Lin Yi the "old book tycoon", which made Lin Yi cry and laugh. If the estimate is good, the word "tycoon" is the honorific title of Shanghai Tang in the twenties and thirties for those rich and powerful, such as the "Shanghai Tang Three Tycoons" Huang Duzhang, and the "casino tycoon" Stanley Ho in Macau.

However, this magazine's introduction and evaluation of Lin Yi is the most pertinent, and it does not add oil or vinegar like other media, or pour water on it. The people from this magazine went directly to Nandu and Jinling to investigate Lin Yi's missing stories and the collection of old books. It can be said that this article was made with a realistic attitude. In Nandu, they interviewed the owners of second-hand bookstalls who had contact with Lin Yi, such as Wang Heizi, Dong Glasses, as well as Liu Sanliang, He Xiangu and others, and in Nanjing, they interviewed Lu Sanye and others who had a relationship with Lin Yi, and even interviewed relatives and friends who had dealt with Lin Yi in Taiwan and Hong Kong by calling and asking friends. It can be said that this article of the "old book tycoon" basically follows Lin Yi's family history and honestly tells his story word by word. Let more people know about him, and let more people know him.

……

With the successive reports of these media, Lin Yi became famous, really famous.

First of all, the hotel where he was staying was crowded with people, most of them his fans, and some news outlets who wanted to interview him.

Someone here may want to say, what other "fans" will there be like Lin Yi who "buys old books". In fact, now Lin Yi has just applied for Weibo certification, and the number of his Weibo fans has increased by 300,000 overnight, and this data is still increasing, breaking one million is just around the corner--- most people call Lin Yi "Teacher Lin" on Weibo, and ask him about the knowledge of old book versions. Some fans simply took old paintings and calligraphy to ask Lin Yi to help identify them, hoping that with his insight, he could give pertinent suggestions. In addition, there are more public collectors who like to buy old books and like to collect, and they frantically point out Lin Yi's leakage myths on Weibo, as well as their views on the version of old books, and vaguely regard these articles as Taobao Bibles.

For the fact that there were hundreds of thousands of fans all at once, Lin Yi was a little unexpected. Others respectfully called him "teacher", he felt a little embarrassed, feeling that although he had made small achievements in this area, he was not qualified enough, but what he never expected was that Phoenix Media, the largest and most authoritative publishing house in China, --- found him.

At first, Lin Yi didn't understand what the publishing house was looking for him, but when the beautiful female editor sat down in the hotel living room, the first thing she said to Lin Yi was: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lin." I don't know if you plan to publish a book? ”

Hearing this, Lin Yi was stunned.

As a reader, who hasn't had the idea and idea of publishing a book to become famous? When Lin Yi was still a literary and artistic young man at the silk level, he liked to write some small poems and words that groaned and complained, so he wondered when he could become a poet who published books like Haizi, Gu Cheng, and Beidao. Unfortunately, this daydream was quickly defeated by hunger and lack of money in your pocket.

Lin Yi was beaten back to his original form, so he could only go to the hotel to work, serve dishes to others, and the dream of being a poet and writer was also thrown into the corner.

But now, the female editor from Phoenix Media in front of her has once again awakened Lin Yi's dream of being a writer.

Publish a book? May I?

Lin Yi asked himself. (To be continued.) )
