Chapter 557. Good luck keeps coming
Lin Yi was also shocked by the white-haired old man's bid of 3.8 million, you must know that although his Ming version of the "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics" is very valuable, there are very few people who can understand its intrinsic value, so those talents just now only bid 500,000 or 600,000. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Everyone else also looked at the old man who had a million price codes curiously, and said in their hearts that this old man was not burning too much money, and he only paid 600,000 yuan, but he was good, 3.8 million at once.
Just when everyone was amazed at the old man's generosity, Lin Yi coughed and spoke.
Everyone looked at him and guessed that Lin Yi would definitely agree to this price, and then earn 3.8 million yuan from 10,000 yuan. Among them, Zhu Fatzi was even more bleeding in his heart---
But Lin Yi glanced at the fat man, shook his head slowly, and said, "What about this set of "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics"......"
Lin Yi opened his mouth to speak, and everyone pricked up their ears when they heard it, but they stopped when they said such a sentence, which made everyone curse in their hearts.
After a slight pause, Lin Yi continued: "I don't want to sell it for the time being, but since everyone's interest is so high, why don't you wait a while, I'll take a few more sacks ......of old books, maybe there are other treasures in it."
"What? Do you want to bet again? Could it be that there is still a treasure in the sack that is left? Impossible, right? "Others, you look at me, I look at you, I didn't expect Lin Yi's ambition to be so big, and he wanted to win a few more.
Some of them thought, it is estimated that this young man feels that he has earned it, and wants to earn more, anyway, he already has a treasure worth 3.8 million in his hand, even if the rest of the gambling is lost, where can he lose.
The old man might as well say this, so he smiled and said, "It's easy to say." Since you want to get a few more bars, then I'll wait for you, and if any more good things come out, you have to give priority to me. ”
The old man was obviously very interested in Lin Yi's set of books, and even he was smiling, but he was thinking in his heart, if Lin Yi lost the bet next, then maybe he would sell him this set of good books.
The outdoor temperature in the capital in December has reached minus 3 degrees Celsius, and now everyone is standing on the cold snow, but Zhu Fatzi feels hot all over, this kid doesn't even sell? ! What the hell. If it were him, it was estimated that he would have already mingled with the old man who made the bid.
I won a gamble, and I even want to gamble again, thinking that I am really a fortune boy, and the stars are shining, and I can pick a few sacks to find rare books and ancient books? Among the onlookers at this time, many people were secretly scolding Lin Yi for being a greedy ghost.
Lin Yike didn't care what these people thought, he turned around and asked Lao Cao and Lao Huang and the others, "Do you want to gamble too?" Shall I pick a sack for you? ”
Lao Cao said: "It's too big a gamble, it's better to be like this, you do the big one, we do the small one, you pick whatever you want, we give half of the money, win, we also take half, lose, we can afford to lose!" ”
After saying this, Lao Cao touched Lao Huang and said, "What about you, are you willing?" ”
Lao Huang didn't speak, just hummed.
At this time, Lao Cao's cousin He Dabao said: "That I ...... Can it also be counted as a copy? ”
Lao Cao laughed, "Of course forget it!" Take all the money you have saved in the capital in the past few years, and we will hand it over to Brother Lin and let him sit in the village! ”
……
The people around them all laughed, and said that these people were crazy about money, and they even bought sacks together, and they really thought that they could make money in this way.
In this regard, Lin Yi's answer was: "Okay, but if you win, you can invite me to drink!" His expression was determined, as if he had won.
Lin Yi's words couldn't help but make everyone scold him for being greedy and insufficient, and now he just picked up a set of treasure books, and he still wanted to continue to pick up treasures, and a few people who were proficient in book hunting even wanted to bet with Lin Yi that if they could find a treasure again, they would simply find a piece of tofu and kill him.
"Okay, don't waste time, we'll wait and see." The people around him urged. At this time, almost 20 of the 68 sacks had been auctioned, except for Lin Yi's sack, which had a rare book, all the others were lost.
Looking at the remaining sacks of old books, Lin Yi rolled up his sleeves, and then walked to the middle of those sacks, looked at this, and touched that.
Finally, he picked out three sacks from it and said to the host Dong Xuan: "Well, just these three, how much?" ”
Dong Xuan calculated it and said, "These three small points, but at least 1 million." ”
Lin Yi turned back to Lao Cao and said, "1 million, how about it?" ”
Lao Cao roared: "! ”
Lao Huang didn't speak.
He Dabao was excited, it is estimated that he has never gambled so much in his life. Gritting his teeth and yelling: "Then do it!" ”
Lin Yi smiled, then handed the bank card to Dong Xuan and said, "You go and help me pay, the password is very simple, it's five or eight."
Dong Xuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to trust him so much that he actually told her the password.
went over there to pay, Lin Yi said directly to Na Ma Wu, "I won't do any of this, you can help me pour them out--- all of them at once!" ”
That Ma Wu has helped many auctioneers to pour a few sacks of old books, but he is unlucky, he didn't see a single treasure, and the other helpers can at least pick up a few slightly valuable ones.
At this time, when he saw Lin Yi calling him, he was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm unlucky, don't blame me if I don't have good things!" ”
Lin Yi smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who is unreasonable." ”
Ma Wu clapped his hands at this time, as if he was driving away the bad luck on his body, and then took a deep breath and yelled: "Liangbao!" ”
First, lift a sack, untie the rope, and pour it straight down to the ground.
In an uproar, sacks of old books like carp in a fish pond all jumped out, attracting people's eyes.
"Yike...... There are good books...... Wire-bound books! ”
"How is that possible?!"
……
With the shouting of everyone, Ma Wu made persistent efforts, untied the second sack, and then poured it out.
"Are they all albums?"
"Looks like it's from the Republic of China!"
"Did you win again?"
……
People were almost numb with shock from what had been poured out of these two sacks of old books.
As a party, Lin Yi was still able to maintain his composure, and Lao Cao and He Dabao were already jumping up happily.
Ma Wu, who was also inexplicably excited, was also inexplicably excited, and when he lifted the third sack, even his hands were shaking.
Hula!
The third sack was finally poured out!
Sharp-eyed people saw that they were all thread-bound books!
How can it be? Hell yes! The three sacks turned out to be all treasures!
……
At this time, the old man and other booksellers stepped forward directly to identify the books that were poured out, including a total of 258 wire-bound books, almost all of which were Qing Dynasty palace books, as well as a few scattered Ming edition books, and they were in good condition, according to today's market price, the lowest value was 3.9 million, and the others were Republic of China picture albums, Republic of China hardcover literature, according to today's market price, the lowest value was 370,000.
In other words, Lin Yi used a capital of 1 million to earn a profit of 4.27 million!
……
"Win the bet, cousin, go get firecrackers......" Lao Cao shouted in a slightly trembling voice,
Although Lao Cao is already very tired both physically and mentally, everything in front of him is true, and this kind of ups and downs is really not something that ordinary people can bear.
After He Dabao heard Lao Cao's greeting, he immediately squeezed out of the crowd, and when he came back, he held a plate of red paper firecrackers stacked together in both hands, Lao Cao took the firecrackers, separated the crowd around the auction hall, hung the firecrackers on a corner of the fence, and said to Lin Yi: "Lin Yi, come and have some." ”
This article has always been the rule of this line of work to win the bet and set off firecrackers, and the person who lights the firecracker is generally a big winner, which is also said, just like giving the lion the eyes before the lion dance, it is a very glorious thing.
Lin Yi didn't understand this rule, smiled and stepped forward, lit the firecracker with the cigarette butt in his hand, and suddenly, the deafening sound of firecrackers rang out in the entire venue.
Today's visitors to the Huguo Temple Fair, most of them are people who like to join in the fun, and there are some of them who understand this kind of rule, hearing the sound of firecrackers, naturally understand what is happening, and put down what they are looking at in their hands, and follow the sound to find it.
Originally, there were only one or two hundred people watching the auction site, but now it was even more surrounded, and the people behind were still desperately squeezing inside, the purpose of these people coming here was to see who had good luck, and by the way, they were happy.
