When Lin Yi saw those buyers in front of the library, he knew what it meant to be "like a market" and how much money Lao Cao had paid. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There were more than a dozen people blocking the door, waiting for Lin Yi to come out.

Seeing Lin Yi, everyone took the initiative to greet him.

Nonsense, who is Lin Yi now, he is very famous in the entire Nandu and even in the province, the pride of the collector, the wonder of the used book industry, I heard that this time he got seven or eight thousand wire-bound books at once, which is definitely a big deal.

So when Lao Cao shouted, they flocked to Taobao here and get a piece of the pie.

Looking at these wolf-like buyers, Lin Yi laughed in his heart, well, since you want Taobao, let you see what the real "treasure" is!

Lin Yi casually exchanged a few words with these buyers, most of these people came from the province, and some of them came from outside the province. Especially after Lin Yi appeared on the treasure appreciation show, the ratings of that episode were extremely high, and people who knew him directly called him "Master Lin".

Lin Yi felt that this title was a bit funny, it seemed that only a cow like "Huang Feihong" would be called a "master", how could he take on the word "master" at his young age.

At this time, Lin Yi forgot that his temples were gray, and the whole person was like an ancient book, reborn, experienced the vicissitudes of wind and rain, and his temperament already had the bearing of a grandmaster.

Therefore, those people called him "Master Lin", which was definitely willing, and felt that Lin Yi deserved it.

In the introduction, Lin Yi also met one or two good collectors, such as Mr. Yang Liancheng, the city's leading collector of used books. This is a retired old cadre, usually has no hobbies, just like to collect some old books, in his words, when he was a child, he loved to read, but looked down on it, and when he was older, he came into contact with old books and was out of control, and he became obsessed with collecting books like poisoning.

Lin Yi understands his feelings, many used book lovers come over like this, at first they are just nostalgic for the used book stalls, and then they start to buy used books constantly, first for dozens of yuan, then for hundreds of yuan, and then for tens of thousands...... The hobby of collecting books is a bottomless pit, you can never be satisfied, the pursuit of editions, the pursuit of rare books, let you always be in a state of excitement for the love of old books. So much so that like this old Mr. Yang Liancheng, there are now 30,000 books in his home, and the first and second floors, and even the aisles are full of bookshelves, but he is still not satisfied, and feels that the collection of books is not enough. His wife complained and his son muttered, but he couldn't listen to it, and he took it as a deaf ear, so that he spent most of his pension to buy books, and was called "bookworm" by the people around him.

Yang Liancheng, a bookworm, played more miscellaneous, and used to collect more books, but later I learned that he had taken a detour, and he wanted to collect high-quality books, not shrimp and big fish. So now Mr. Yang has begun to focus on line-bound books, and feels that this is a potential stock, and it will be more and more valuable in the future.

Compared with Mr. Yang, the purpose of other people is much pureer, and they all come here to Taobao and make money. It is better to say that they are readers, than to be merchants, booksellers who buy and sell used books.

For these people, Lin Yi did not despise them, after all, he was also half a bookseller, otherwise where would the money on the bank card come from.

Lin Yi has never been self-deprecating, and he has always liked to respect others. So much so that he entertained people like a spring breeze, and felt that this "Master Lin" was really extraordinary, and his speech and demeanor were everyone's demeanor, and he seemed very decent and educated.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Lin Yi now invited some people to go to the library to read books first, but there were too many people, so they could only enter in batches one by one.

Lao Cao greeted the booksellers outside, and Lin Yi led some of them into the bookstore.

When I didn't go in, the big guy still didn't feel good, and even had the impression that Lin Yi's bookstore was the same as many bookstores that sold used books, messy, densely packed with old books, but when they went in, I was dizzy, this is a museum!

Tall and neat bookshelves, bright glass bookcases, elegant wooden booths, old books are stacked in different categories, looking at it from a distance, majestic and antique.

These booksellers were shocked, and their thoughts about coming to pick up the leaks immediately cooled in half. What's more, they heard Lao Cao say that those thread-bound books were not in good condition, so they had already made up their minds to reduce the price, but now, ...... Looking at those old books in perfect condition, they suddenly felt empty in their hearts, and couldn't help but touch the money bag......

……

Lao Cao Cao was talking nonsense with a group of booksellers when he saw the first batch of people who went in to "see the goods" come out.

But the expression is very strange, when you go in, you are elated, and when you come out, you are depressed.

What, not satisfied?

"Hey, brother, what do you see? Still satisfied? Lao Cao asked with a person in his arms.

The man looked at him and said angrily, "What are you kidding me about?" After saying that, he left angrily.

Lao Cao was confused, so he grabbed another person and asked, "Are those books okay?" ”

"The books? You're embarrassed to say that it's cheap, but ...... It's a shame. And the man departed in anger.

Of course, some people are happy and some are sad.

When some others came out, they were really satisfied, and they praised Lao Cao for their good greetings, and they would come back again in the future, not to mention anything else, just this quality, no matter how much money it is, it is worth it.

was praised and scolded again, which made Lao Cao confused, and he didn't understand what happened from beginning to end.

The second batch went in, and the scene was the same.

The third batch went in, and the scene was the same.

Lao Cao was scolded and praised again, which made him almost insane.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, and went to the bookstore in person, when he entered the bookstore, he saw that the wire-bound books that should have been tattered were neatly stacked on the shelves, and when Lin Yi was negotiating the price with those wealthy booksellers, he only felt dizzy.

He rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't dazzled.

I picked up a thread-bound book and looked through it vigorously, making sure it was real, not a dream.

How can it be?

These were originally very shabby, so he bragged to the gang that the price would be very low, and that they would make enough money after changing hands---

But now, he finally understood why those who scolded him scolded him, and he was embarrassed to bring less money.

I also know why some other people praise him, his condition is so good, it is difficult to find a copy.

In this way, Lao Cao stayed in the library and sleepwalked like a dream, wondering if he had a problem with his brain, could it be that these books were originally good, and he remembered them wrong? But how is that possible? These books were all put into sacks by himself--- Lin Yi found someone to repair them, but these books did not have the slightest trace of repair, not even a needle's eye.

So Lao Cao stood in place in despair, thinking about it, thinking about it, but he couldn't figure it out---

……

Mr. Yang Liancheng also stood in the library in despair, looking at the antique thread-bound books that were stacked like treasures.

He has been playing with books for so many years, and he has never seen such a big scene, no, he has seen it before, it is in the ancient books exhibition room of the city library, but the books there are also tattered, which is like these in front of him, brand new.

As long as you are a collector, you will understand that no matter what you collect, there is a principle, that is, "play with the old as new", and it is said that the quality of the collection is very important. Take the comic strip that has been hyped up as an example, the price difference between the first edition of "Chicken Feather Letter" with creases and the "Chicken Feather Letter" with ten products can be thousands of dollars. Just because of a crease.

Yang Liancheng first felt that he could see such a spectacular scene, and he had not lived in vain in his life, and then he was embarrassed that he had no money to buy it, and then he was sad for a while, compared with Master Lin's collections, he was known as the "No. 1 used book collector" in the city, and he couldn't compare.

Look at what you have hidden, except for the advantage of the quantity, there is basically nothing you can get your hands on, at least compared to Lin Yi's books, those are simply rubbish!

In the past, Yang Liancheng was proud of his book collection, but now he is full of sadness and shame.

I feel like I don't live up to my name.

In the end, Yang Liancheng said to Lin Yi: "The old man is ashamed, you are the real first collector!" ”

Lin Yi wanted to comfort him, but he knew that he didn't say anything, so he could only take a few books and give him gifts in the end.

Yang Liancheng refused to ask for it, you must know that the thread-bound books here, Lin Yi sold thousands of them.

He would not take such light.

Lin Yi didn't force him.

Because there are other guests around.

……

Lin Yi divided those thread-bound books into three categories, one was kept and treasured by himself, including the Song version of "Mengxi Writings", the hand-copied "Zhang Tianshi's Book of Illness", and the Ming version of "Crazy Woman".

There are about 1,000 copies of these books, and the specific value of Lin Yi is not yet certain, but Lin Yi still called to Hong Kong and received the auction data of the New Century Auction House, just the Song version of "Mengxi Writings", if it is auctioned, it will be almost 1.5 million starting auctions, hand-copied "Zhang Tianshi's Illness Book" starting at 800,000 yuan, and Ming version "Crazy Woman" starting at 600,000 yuan. In other words, the price of these three books has been as high as 3 million.

The second category is to hold and wait for the appreciation, and there are about 2,000 copies of these books. According to the current value, it is worth about 5 million, and Lin Yi guesses that according to the popularity of ancient books, it will definitely increase in value in two or three years.

The third category is for sale, most of these books are not in sets, scattered, or most of the editions are from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

There are about 4,000 copies in total, and the booksellers who came here today have almost already ordered these books away. Those who can afford to pay for it were given the full amount, and those who couldn't afford to pay were given a deposit, Lin Yi roughly calculated, according to the selling price of about 1,000 yuan for a book, 4,000 copies would earn about 4 million.

……

In other words, at this time, Lin Yi sold the thread-bound books collectively and got almost 4 million, so Lin Yi generously took a check for 400,000 yuan and stuffed it into Lao Cao's pocket.

Old Cao Cao was still stunned, he really couldn't think of how this could happen? It doesn't make sense, evil door!

"Why, I'm not happy when I make money." Looking at his dejected appearance, Lin Yi quipped, "In the past, when you took the money, you had to kiss and kiss wildly, jumping three feet high." ”

Lao Cao came back to his senses suddenly, grabbed Lin Yi's clothes, and showed a confused expression on his face: "Tell me, Lin Yi, am I dazzled?" ”

"You're not dazzled."

"Am I mistaken?"

"You read that right."

"Am I crazy?"

"You're not crazy."

"That's not right...... Lao Cao let go of Lin Yi's clothes, his expression was a little crazy, "These books are obviously put in a sack by me, and they are obviously tattered, but how can --- explain them now?" ”

"I can't explain it." Lin Yi shrugged, with a strange smile on his face, and then patted Lao Cao's shoulder and said, "Let's look forward, don't get into the horns, there are many things in this world that can't be explained...... Take it too seriously and you'll lose. ”

Lao Cao couldn't figure it out if he wanted to break his scalp, he was originally a person with big nerves, as soon as Lin Yi said this, he didn't think about it, took out the check that Lin Yisai gave him, and glanced at the number on it--- 400,000!

The mood immediately changed from low to excited---yes, why do you want to do so much, as long as the banknotes are real, it doesn't matter if these are true or not!"

it!

Watching Lao Cao pose as a crab again, touching his big bald head and leaving excitedly, Lin Yiwan'er, there may be only such a person in the world who can live freely.

Yes, what do you want to do so much, as long as you have money to make.

It's a pity that many people don't understand this truth. (To be continued.) )
