Looking at the "Tingting" in front of him who seems to be interesting to him, this may be a good thing that many men dream of, but it seems a little tricky to put it here for Lin Yi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Alas, who made him famous and grassy.

So after Lin Yi stabilized his mind, he said to Tingting: "If you like to read, just find a book to read, I'm going to take a bath first." ”

Tingting nodded, looked at the old books and suddenly said, "Are these books precious?" ”

Lin Yi was about to enter the bathroom, and when he heard the words, he let out a "hmm" sound, and then reacted, "What?" ”

"I ask you if these books are very valuable? For I saw that you had put them in order, and that they seemed to be wiped clean. Tingting's observation is very strong, and she can see at a glance that Lin Yi attaches great importance to these books.

"yes, these are treasures I picked up from used book stalls and used bookstores." Lin Yi replied with a smile.

Tingting said again: "What do you do?" Can you tell me? ”

Lin Yi picked up the towel and glanced at her: "You're curious?" ”

"Yes, I'm curious." Tingting actually said very sincerely, "From the first time I saw you, I was very curious--- what do you do?" If you are the boss, how can you have so much spare time to buy books, and if you are a rich second generation who doesn't have to do anything, it doesn't look like it. ”

"Huh." Lin Yi smiled, "It's not that it doesn't look like it, I'm not at all." Our family farms the land, and I am a native farmer's child. Lin Yi didn't hide it, so he told him in detail.

"Growing up, I loved to read, so my favorite thing to do when I grew up was to buy books. As for my profession, if I tell you that Taoshu is my profession, would you believe it? ”

Tingting shook her head, it wasn't that she didn't believe Lin Yi, but because she had never seen or heard of anyone who regarded "Taoshu" as a profession.

"That Mr. Qin said that you make two or three hundred million a day, is it also fake?" Tingting asked.

Lin Yi smiled bitterly, "If I say it's true, do you believe it?" ”

Tingting didn't know whether to nod, but shook her head.

Seeing her confused look and the expression that needed to be trained, Lin Yi didn't want to fight her anymore, so he said directly: "Actually, Taoshu is my profession, I sell the books I buy to people in need, and then make high profits, this is my life." ”

"What, used books can be sold for money?" Tingting looked stunned.

Lin Yiguaner, this is the generation gap in cognition.

It is precisely because many people do not realize and realize that old books can sell for a lot of money, so they give people like Lin Yi an opportunity to take advantage of them, so that he can continue to pick up leaks and continue to make huge profits.

Seeing Tingting staring at herself with wide eyes, she had the posture of not giving up without asking clearly, Lin Yi had no choice but to put down the towel for the time being, and explained to her: "There is a thing called antiques in this world, as long as there are old objects that are more than 30 years old, they can be called antiques." And antiques are collectible, like those porcelain and jade that you commonly see, as well as gold and silver jewelry and so on. And old books are also an antique. For example, the old books of the Republic of China, the old books of the Qing Dynasty, and the ...... of the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties"

"These old books are like the limited edition LV bags that you girls like, the less they are, the more valuable they are, and the more masterpieces of the masters, the more collectible they are...... To take the simplest example, like this set of miniatures of New Year's paintings published in Shanghai in the 80s, they are almost all the works of the masters of painting and calligraphy of that era, and the print run is very scarce, and now it is very difficult to collect a set, and some collectors who like nostalgia and have deep feelings for New Year's paintings will spare no effort to collect them. Originally, in the second-hand book stall, you could buy it for two or three yuan, but now a book costs at least seventy or eighty yuan, or even hundreds of yuan, and the profit we make from those of us who buy books is the difference in price......"

Lin Yi's mouth was dry, and he passed on some knowledge of the collection of old books and the value of old books to Tingting. After saying this, Lin Yi regretted it, saying what are these doings, which girls will really be interested, they are only interested in brand-name clothes and bags.

But when she looked at Tingting again, she looked incredulous, and then looked at Lin Yi with wide eyes, her eyes showing admiration.

Lin Yi was a little embarrassed by her, so he touched his cheek and said, "What are you looking at me doing, I have flowers on my face?" ”

Tingting smiled and said, "Yes, you have flowers on your face...... Your words almost stunned me, my God, do you know that we used to have a lot of old books in our house, especially some thread-bound books, which were left behind by my grandma and grandfather, and they were all sold as scrap in order to renovate the new house, let me think about it...... It seems that the three major boxes were only sold for a total of 50 yuan! In that case, my mother was very happy, saying that it was better than throwing firewood into the stove and burning it......"

This time, it was Lin Yi's turn to faint, and he hurriedly asked, "What kind of books are they?" ”

Tingting frowned and said: "I don't remember very well, it seems that there is a set of "Song Carving Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures", which is said to be the official engraving of the Song Dynasty......"

"What?" Lin Yi's mouth opened wide.

Seeing Lin Yi's surprised look, Tingting couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?" I used to think that the line-bound calligraphy and painting book was very good-looking, so I took a look at it--- is it very valuable? ”

Lin Yi took a deep breath, "If it's a rare book, it's not very valuable, but very valuable......"

"How much is it worth?" This is what Tingting is most curious about.

Lin Yi glanced at her, "Do you like BMWs?" ”

Tingting blinked: "Of course I like it." ”

Lin Yi said: "If it is really the official engraving version of the Song Dynasty, then congratulations, that book can be exchanged for a BMW of five or six hundred thousand!" ”

"Ah, what?" Tingting couldn't close her mouth in surprise, and her eyes were about to burst into flames.

"You, you're not lying to me, are you?" She speaks with a knotted tongue.

Lin Yi sighed, "Why should I lie to you?" Do you know, Song Dynasty prints are treasures among treasures, not to mention official engravings, and rare books like that can only be seen in large museums. ”

Tingting: "......"

"I'm going to die--- whoa, so many sold for 50 yuan! Dizzy! "Anyone who hears such a thing will die of remorse. What was treated as waste garbage by itself turned out to be a treasure in a million.

This kind of gap is really going to make people die!

Seeing that Tingting was still in a daze, Lin Yi knew that she would not be able to digest this information for a while, so she took a towel and went into the bathroom to rinse it.

Outside, Tingting's heart was in turmoil, her expression was constantly changing, and she seemed to be thinking about something.

Of course, the ambiguity of the lonely men and widows in the original room was swept away, and thinking about it, a BMW, no, it may be that many BMWs were sold for 50 yuan by their own family, and anyone is heartbroken, and where is the mood to think about others.

……

The next day, Lin Yi got up early in the morning and saw Tingting still asleep in bed.

Lin Yi's words last night had such a big impact on her that she had some insomnia, and finally fell asleep before dawn.

Seeing her sleeping, Lin Yi couldn't bear to wake her up, so she finished dressing, simply washed up, thought about it, and put another hundred yuan on her bedside, pressed a note, and wrote: "Don't think crooked, this is the money for food!" ”

In Lin Yi's opinion, his fate with Tingting is over, and she will leave on her own.

So Lin Yi called his editor Li Shanshan to ask about the publication of the book. Li Shanshan said on the phone, "Make an appointment with a location, and we'll talk when we meet." ”

Lin Yi made an appointment with the nearby "Goethe Cafe".

Leaving the business hotel, seeing that the time was still early, Lin Yi simply ate something, there are many kinds of breakfast in Shanghai, but they are not to Lin Yi's taste, and you can't get the heavy flavor of Hu spicy soup and beef soup.

When he finally settled the breakfast, he looked at the time, it was about ten o'clock. Since people have dates, out of politeness, men are not allowed to let women wait. So Lin Yi went to the date place in advance.

At this time, there were not many people in the Goethe Café, after all, the pace of work and life of Shanghainese people is very slow, and the best time to spend time in the café is at noon and evening.

In the huge café hall, Lin Yi sat there alone, which was particularly conspicuous.

Drinking coffee in this kind of place can generally be refilled, but the number of refills is too much, not only the waiter is a little impatient, but Lin Yi himself feels embarrassed. So I had to pull a book out of the magazine shelf and read it carefully.

At the beginning, Lin Yi was just killing time, but he soon became obsessed.

A place like a café is a more tasteful place, and it will not casually place some "low-level books" such as "Story Club", "Bosom Friend", and "After Tea", but some high-quality magazines, such as "Ruili", "Harper's Bazaar", "Wall Street", "Business" and other books.

At this moment, Lin Yi is looking at "Business World", and what he sees is the story of a strong woman in China's largest air conditioning brand. This heroine in the Chinese business world can be said to be known to many people, and Lin Yi has heard a lot of about her before, but she doesn't know much. Through this article, I have a deeper understanding of her.

Of course, there are few articles of this kind that do not hold stinky feet, depending on the depth of your skills.

Born in 1954 in an ordinary family in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, this strong woman joined the work in 1975, and her husband died of illness when her son was 2 years old, which became a turning point in her life.

In 1990, she quit her job, left her son in the care of her grandmother, and went south to work on her own. At the age of 36, she started as a grassroots salesman in an air-conditioning company, but she didn't know what marketing was, but with perseverance and stubbornness, she recovered the 420,000 yuan debt left by her predecessor in 40 days.

In 1992, her sales in Anhui exceeded 16 million yuan, accounting for 1/8 of the entire company. Subsequently, he was transferred to Nanjing, where there was almost no crack in the market, and signed an air conditioning order of 2 million yuan, and within a year, personal sales jumped to 36.5 million yuan.

In 1994, there was a serious crisis within the air-conditioning company, some of the backbone salesmen suddenly "collective resignation", in the most difficult time of the company, she withstood the temptation, insisted on staying in the company, and was unanimously elected as the head of the company's business department.

In 1996, the air conditioning industry fought in the cool summer, and she had been promoted to sales manager, she would rather give up the market than reduce the price, and led 23 marketing salesmen to fight against the marketing team of hundreds of thousands of domestic manufacturers. On August 31, she announced that 2% of the profit of 100 million yuan would be subsidized to each dealer in proportion to sales, prompting the company's air conditioning sales to increase by 17% that year, and then becoming the leader in China's air conditioning industry.

It can be said that the whole article is speaking with numbers and achievements, and standing on the commanding heights, the great achievements of this legendary woman are vividly narrated, which makes people worship.

But Lin Yi knows more clearly that there will be fewer and fewer such strong women in the future, the reason is very simple, when the company really grows up, the person at the helm is the kind of high-quality, high-level leader, not the kind of pioneer who starts from a salesman and has low knowledge reserves.

In addition, Lin Yi heard that this strong woman likes to slap the table and scold people when she has a meeting in the company, which is known as "courage", "spicy", and "iron lady", and in the eyes of many people, this just represents the shortcomings of her quality......

Of course, Lin Yi will not judge others casually, not to mention that she is still such a famous strong woman, these are just his feelings after reading the article; And this is also the difference between his reading and others, reading books is not just to kill time, not to entertain himself, but to think.

Reading without thinking is just a blind man touching an elephant.

Just when Lin Yi was thinking about this, a fragrant wind hit his nose.

Lin Yi shrugged his nose, it was a relatively high-end French perfume, and he had only smelled this perfume on one woman, and that was Li Shanshan.

……

Li Shanshan was still as heroic as before, sat down, ordered a cup of "cappuccino" to the waiter simply and neatly, and then turned her head and said to Lin Yi: "Are you okay?" ”

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, as an intellectual editor in Shanghai, the first sentence when he was late shouldn't be "I'm sorry, let you wait" or something like that, how could it be "Are you okay?" ”

But soon Lin Yi understood why she asked like this, "I heard that Mr. Chu of Tianyu Media wants to make trouble, and the target is you, I was quite worried at first, but I was relieved to see you like this." A smile appeared on Li Shanshan's face.

Inexplicably, Lin Yi was a little moved.

In this unfamiliar place, there are still people who care about themselves, which is rare.

"Look at me, I said so much nonsense as soon as I came--- I have something to do with you." It seemed that things were very important, and Li Shanshan began to fumble with her handbag after speaking.

Lin Yi thought she was looking for tissues and other supplies, but she magically took out a book from her bag, and then pushed the book in front of Lin Yi with a very solemn expression, and said with joy on her face: "Look at it, this is a sample of your new book!" ”

Lin Yi was stunned, and looked at the book with some surprise and inexplicable, on the shining cover, there were four big characters "Notes on Taoshu"!

Is this the book you wrote?

Is it really published?

It feels so strange, like a father who is expecting the birth of a child and suddenly sees the child.

There was a hint of surprise, and even more of a hint of surprise. (To be continued.) )
