In the southern capital, Lin Yi returned to the southern capital again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He spent a lot of money to build the "Ink Rhyme Fragrance" collection is under construction.

Many people around were watching, watching.

Lin Yi also took the time to come here.

The majestic three-storey Tibet, built according to the ancient architectural model, carved railings and painted walls, red tile cornices, stand on this quiet land, look at it from afar, make people feel refreshed and happy, it seems to be an ancient building.

In the crowd, several people who seemed to be scholars were making their own comments about the building.

An older uncle said: "I bet that sooner or later, this collection will become a new attraction or even a new landmark in our southern capital." ”

Another younger descendant said, "You just blow you, how is it possible!" This is not a city-level cultural relic. ”

Uncle smiled and said, "Young man, don't be unbelieved, Uncle I have walked across more bridges than you have ever eaten noodles." If nothing else, do you know what kind of building this is? ”

Hou Sheng said: "Why don't you know, isn't it just hiding?" ”

"Do you know what you're going to have in here?" Uncle continued to ask.

"Uncle, you test me, of course it's a place to collect books."

"Hehe, do you know what these books are?"

"I heard it's some old books."

"Old books? It's a rare book! Uncle said angrily, "Young man, if you don't know about the collection of ancient books, you can watch more TV and read more books." What era is it? It is the era of the hot collection of ancient books, those who read books, cultural people, and rich people like to collect those old ancient books. ”

"You're exaggerating, aren't you?" The latter touched his head.

"Exaggerated? Not an exaggeration at all! Do you know why there are so many security systems installed in this house? It's not that the landlord has money and is idle, but because the books collected in the future are too valuable! Uncle seemed to know everything, and said to the descendant.

He had a loud voice and was talking about this hidden thing, so he quickly attracted the people around him to listen to him talk about these "inside stories".

Uncle was in high spirits and continued: "Don't say anything else, there is a collection of Republic of China books here, do you know?" ”

"Republican? Are those also worth the money? ”

"Yes, although the Republic of China book is not common, it is not necessarily valuable." Someone around chimed in.

Perhaps in the eyes of these people, the so-called valuable ancient books and old books are those books from the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty on TV, as for the books of the Republic of China, the age is too recent.

Uncle felt that he had the need and obligation to help these "bookillite" popularize some knowledge of old book collection, especially in the collection of books of the Republic of China.

So the uncle said, "You lack knowledge. Do you know what the new literature of the Republic of China is? I don't know. Then I will tell you, it is the novels written by those literati during the Republic of China, such as Lu Xun...... Lu Xun, do you know? ”

"Lu Xun? Of course I know, I also studied his texts when I was in school, what is it called "Hometown", by the way, there is also a "In Memory of Liu and Zhenjun". ”

"It's good to know. Do you know how much Mr. Lu Xun's first novel collection "The Scream", published by the North New Book Company of the Republic of China, is worth the first edition of the rough-edged book? ”

"How much?"

"One will cost 9,800 yuan!" Uncle said loudly, "This is not too little, the book he wrote with his brother is called "Foreign Novels", and the first edition of the rough-edged book is as high as 200,000!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there were people around who burst out laughing.

Uncle immediately widened his eyes and asked the laughing man, "Don't you believe it?" ”

It was a young man in his early twenties, and when he saw that he was with the latter life, he sneered: "Uncle, you don't have to flash your tongue when you talk big." My friend doesn't argue with you, and you're really talking nonsense. 200,000 books of the Republic of China, you think we are stupid! ”

"Yes," the descendant also said, "200,000 can buy a house, what fool will buy a book, or the Republic of China!" No matter how valuable Lu Xun's book is, it can't reach that point. Do you think that's the reason? ”

The people around immediately coaxed: "Yes, what kind of nonsense is this, a book of the Republic of China can sell for 200,000 yuan, who will believe it!" ”

"Do you believe it or not?"

"Don't believe it!"

"Hahaha!"

……

This time, Uncle was dumbfounded, he was said to be a liar, and no one believed that what he said was true.

Isolated, weak, and alone--- Uncle thought of all the words, and he even wanted to do "The Scream" like Mr. Lu Xun......

But before the uncle could "shout", a voice said: "I believe this uncle's words." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and they all looked towards the side where they spoke, and then they saw that the person who spoke was a young man with a handsome appearance and an elegant temperament.

Uncle was excited, no, to be precise, he was moved, looking at the young man, although the world is big, only you are my confidant.

The offspring and his companion were not happy, "Who are you, come out and stir up trouble." ”

The young man was not angry, and still said kindly: "I didn't stir up the situation, in fact, what this uncle said is true, and the "Collection of Foreign Novels" was not auctioned for 200,000 yuan, to be precise, with a commission of 10 percent, it should be 297,000 yuan." ”

"Ha, the more you brag about it, the bigger it gets, it's still 297,000! Who do you think you are, how can you make us believe these words? ”

"Hehe, you don't have to believe it, because these are facts." The young man said slowly.

"On what basis?"

"The basis is ---," the young man said.

It is said that one night in the late spring of 2007, the first rare book of new literature, the Tokyo edition of "Foreign Novels" (Volume 1), like a miracle, fell from the sky, and was posted by a bookseller in Beijing to an online auction of used books. The seller did not recognize the title of the book inscribed by Chen Shizeng, and mistakenly wrote it as "or foreign novel...... obviously did not know" or "is the seal style of the domain, and the collection of characters was also replaced by an ellipsis." The seller posted 5 copies of the book, one for the cover, one for the preface, one for the table of contents, one for the copyright page, and one for the text. Moreover, such a famous rare book seller only marked a starting price of 25 yuan. If you want to say that the seller doesn't understand the value of this book, why do you post so many pictures?

Generally, books are sold online, and ordinary books are on the first cover, and the slightly more expensive ones are on the copyright page, and the last illustration with illustrations is rare to show several important elements of a book like this, indicating that the seller attaches great importance to the book. Regardless of whether the seller really doesn't understand or pretends not to understand, the bibliophile is a sensation anyway, and both followers and bidders have hit a new high. Since the maximum transaction limit set by the online auction is 20,000 yuan, the bid for "Foreign Novels" cannot be carried out until it reaches 19,999 yuan, and the seller may have realized what a treasure the book is--- and almost sold it, so he removed the book from the Internet and traded it privately.

At first, I heard that someone had bid 50,000 yuan but did not buy it, and then I heard that 80,000 yuan had not been sold, and there was a collector who had the opportunity to buy it for 3,000 yuan before it was auctioned, but unfortunately he missed this once-in-a-lifetime book luck.

Why is this book so precious? The reason for this is that "scarcity is expensive".

Regarding the number of surviving copies of the first edition of "Foreign Novels", everyone has always relied on Lu Xun's statement--- "Half a year has passed, and the account is settled at the nearest Tokyo consignment office." Twenty-one copies of the first book were sold, and twenty copies of the second volume were sold, and no one ever bought them again...... As for Shanghai, I still don't know in detail. I heard that only about 20 copies were sold, and no one bought them again."

According to Lu Xun's original words, the surviving volume of "Foreign Novels" should be about 30, in other words, about 60 volumes (books). It's a pity that according to Lu Xun's words, "four or five years later", all the books were burned, which means that this book is basically "out of print".

Let's talk about the "Foreign Novel Collection", since the auction started at 30,000 yuan, there were several bidders before 150,000, the competition can be described as intense, after the bidding of 200,000, only two people were left to raise their cards, one-on-one competition to the auctioneer shouted "270,000, 270,000, the last time", the hammer fell, the audience applauded, and finally this rare book plus 10% of the commission, a total of 297,000 yuan was auctioned, which shocked the entire collection world.

……

Everyone was dumbfounded, listening blankly to the young man's story of the more than 200,000 books of the Republic of China.

Because the other party spoke too carefully and seriously, everyone showed an expression of disbelief.

So as soon as the young man finished speaking, the people asked curiously, "Who are you, how do you know so much?" ”

The young man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that what this uncle said is the truth, and there are many new literature collections of the Republic of China in this newly built collection, and many of them are rare books." Of course, this kind of Republic of China book is a small part of all these collections, and the reason why this collection was established is mainly to collect and preserve some rare books, including those of the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Each of these ancient books has its own story, and each one is priceless. If you don't know much about the collection of ancient books, then I suggest that you can come here more in the future to appreciate and learn, after all, the inheritance of ancient book culture, it is not enough to build a collection, but also need all of us to work together. Remember, the ultimate purpose of our collection is not to hide these things and not display them; On the contrary, it is to make the best use of things, so that all of us can explore the long history and culture through these rare books, and be able to benefit from and learn from them, which is our purpose. The young man smiled and turned away.

The crowd of onlookers looked at him, and some muttered: "What kind of god is it, who do you think you are when you talk so much?" ”

At this time, a big bald head suddenly stood out in the crowd, the big bald head shook his head and sighed, and then said loudly: "You guys, you really don't know Mount Tai!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Who are you?"

"What are you doing?"

"What nonsense?"

……

"Nonsense?! Hehe, do you know who he is? The big bald head asked rhetorically.

"Who is it?"

"What's the big deal?"

"yes, isn't he still a big guy?"

……

Seeing that these people were still so unenlightened, the big bald head shook his head again, and then pointed to the Tibetan building under construction, and said, "The one just now is the owner of this collection!" ”

"The landlord? Could he be the legendary ......?"

The clever brain immediately thought of a person, a well-known figure in the Southern Capital, and even in the national ancient book circle, and now he is the youngest collector of the Seven Grades......

A name blurted out, and he was --- "Lin Yi!" (To be continued.) )
