Everyone must have a hobby, or smoke or alcohol or sex, if not smoking, drinking or lust, then it is likely that this person is a pure heart and few desires, if not a pure heart and few desires, then this person must be a lover of reading. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

People who love to read, read, and buy books are always a little different.

For Lin Yi, his hobby of reading books is his biggest life, for this trip to Nanjing, Lin Yi also specially drew a "Nanjing Old Book Map", indicating which alley and how many numbers, which provided great convenience for him to buy books.

At this moment, he took out this "book map" and looked at it---

"Address --- of some old bookstores in Nanjing":

Antiquarian bookstore: No. 220 Taiping South Road, near Yanggongjing

Weichu Bookstore: No. 48-1 Hankou Road

Fuxing Bookstore: No. 48 Hankou Road

Scholar Used Bookstore: No. 31 Qingdao Road, next to Nanda High School

Lekuo Bookstore: No. 200 Hankou West Road, Xikang Road Intersection

Pinyuzhai Bookstore: No. 12 Guangzhou Road, near the South Gate

Tiangong Bookstore: No. 2 Zhanggongqiao (Tangzi Street)

Juyi Book House, etc.: Cangxiang Old Book Street

……

Carefully, he ticked the three household pens he had just visited and made a mark, indicating that he had finished shopping for these places.

Lin Yi has deep feelings about this book search, almost all bookstore owners sell books online while running physical stores, and physical stores and online sales are open.

In this regard, Lin Yi believes that this model has broad prospects in the future. In the past, there were regional differences in books, for example, a historical information book about Nanjing, which was sold very cheaply in Xi'an, but sold very high in Nanjing, and some people could pour it back in batches in Xi'an to earn the difference. Selling books online fully shows the number of used books in the country, and also flattens the price of books. Lin Yi felt that this was a good thing for readers, but it was not a good thing for them as collectors and book hunters.

The price is transparent, many rare books, you can't rely on "eyesight" alone to pick up leaks, and picking up leaks is the most persistent thing for countless book lovers, just like drug addiction, it is difficult to quit, a used book market that can't be picked up, just like a woman dressed up bewitchingly, lacks the most deadly charm.

After searching for books for so long and buying and selling used books for so long, Lin Yi believes that from the perspective of the general trend, the source of old books is becoming more and more depleted, and a large number of people who invest in old books have emerged since 2005. However, some rich people buy books back and lock them in safes, but those who really want to buy books and read books can't afford them.

"The return of the value of books themselves is not entirely a bad thing, for a long time, compared with antiques, calligraphy and painting, the price of ancient books has been very low, and the traditional cultural connotation carried by ancient books is far greater than a calligraphy and painting." This is what Uncle De and Uncle Kang often say to Lin Yi, an apprentice.

"Therefore, if you want to collect books, you must collect rare books, rare books, rare books, and missing and first editions. Because from the investment point of view, only the varieties of these books will appreciate significantly in the future. ”

It is precisely because of the "earnest teaching" of these two predecessors that Lin Yi will "boldly swallow rare books and carefully buy old books" during this trip to Nanjing, and use the method of hiding and maintaining them to expand his strength.

Especially this morning, Haitang had already called to tell Lin Yi that the market prices of the two books "Qing Dynasty Portrait Atlas" and "Shuangzhaolou Poetry Manuscript" that Lin Yi bought yesterday had roughly come out.

Hong Kong and mainland China have different price analyses of these two books.

Hong Kong:

"Portrait Album of Qing Dynasty Figures", estimated at about 800,000 ---1.2 million.

"Shuangzhaolou Poetry Manuscript", the estimated price is about 500,000 --- 800,000.

Outback:

"Qing Dynasty Portrait Atlas", estimated at about 600,000 --- 900,000 yuan.

"Shuangzhaolou Poetry Manuscript", estimated at about 900,000 ---1.4 million.

……

Such a subtle difference can't help but make Lin Yi angry. Obviously, in Hong Kong, the Qing Dynasty Portrait Atlas is much more expensive than the poems. In the mainland, it is the opposite. In fact, this also illustrates a problem, that is, the cultural atmosphere of Hong Kong and the mainland is different.

Hong Kong, as an international metropolis, has always been the most popular and powerful in the auction is the "art auction", it just so happens that the "Qing Dynasty Portrait Atlas" also belongs to the category of art films, and is a fine product of figure painting in the late Qing Dynasty, which has never appeared, and can be estimated to be the highest estimate of 1.2 million, or conservative, in Lin Yi's view, if it is really auctioned, it is estimated that it can exceed 1.5 million.

As for the mainland, originally there were many people and a wide area, from the Republic of China to the founding of the People's Republic of China, the cultural inheritance should be the thickest foundation beyond Taiwan and Hong Kong, but on the contrary, due to the ten-year movement, the literati withered and the cultural fault line, so that the new literature of the Republic of China is now being hyped in order to make up for this fractured cultural rock layer, so the entire cultural circle is very keen on traditional culture such as poetry. This would well explain why the poetry manuscript was more valued in the mainland than the album.

However, these have no impact on Lin Yi, anyway, he has a relationship in Hong Kong and the mainland, and he can completely separate the two books for auction, and the final album can reach 1.2 million, and the poetry manuscript can reach 1.3 million, a total of almost 2.5 million, and he spent a total of only 300,000 for these two books, which has increased 8 times in terms of price, which is --- the charm of picking up leaks.

……

At this moment, Lin Yi was in an extremely comfortable mood, and when he thought of earning more than 2 million at once, he couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows.

"Look at your color, look at the beauty and drool!" Lin Yi turned his head and saw Huang Rong walking towards him with a few bags of instant noodles.

Lin Yi smiled and pretended to admire: "Wow, no, do you want to invite me to eat noodles, it just so happens that my stomach is hungry?" Which brand is it, I won't eat it if the brand is bad! ”

Huang Rong made a gesture to smash the instant noodle bag at Lin Yi's head, and said hatefully: "If you want to be beautiful, you are an unemployed vagrant who also wants to eat noodles--- Hmph, buy it yourself!" ”

Lin Yi pretended to dodge and said with a smile: "I'm not without money, how can I say that under the same roof, a bowl of instant noodles, I won't be so stingy, right?!" Saying that, Lin Yi also showed a pitiful look.

"Ha, who's stingy? I see you've got a bag full of things, what's in it? As he spoke, he grabbed the satchel behind Lin Yi's back.

Lin Yi said: "It's all books, I haven't eaten anything." ”

"I don't believe it, have you been out all day to buy books?" Huang Rong looked at Lin Yi vigilantly, looking like Sherlock Holmes.

Lin Yi had no choice but to open the satchel, show her and say, "Look, is it true?" ”

Huang Rong looked at it, paused for a moment, and then looked at Lin Yi strangely and said, "You are such a strange person, you can't even afford to eat and buy so many books, you want to die?" ”

Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "No way, I'm a book-loving person, I'd rather have spiritual food than bend down and bow my head to serve the powerful." ”

Huang Rong was almost speechless, glared at him and said, "I think you are crazy." ”

"Ha, it turns out that the madman is me, I thought it was ......" Lin Yi pointed at her.

Huang Rong: "Die---! "The instant noodle bag almost smashed again.

After a day of contact, Lin Yi already knew Huang Rong's character, she is definitely a woman who can stand up to jokes, and her personality is very independent and strong, such a woman is always likable. However, Lin Yi has no other thoughts, for him, he is already a person with a "famous flower and master", but he can't be distracted.

……

Huang Rong didn't know where she got a TV, and at the moment she was holding the instant noodle bucket, tired of curling up in her inflatable sofa, and kept adjusting the channel while eating. All entertainment programs will be left for a while, and then find fault with others. Either this one is very ugly, or the one is out of tune, or someone has poor acting skills.

Lin Yi also hugged the instant noodles, enjoying this "delicious food", and couldn't help laughing: "No matter how bad the star is, it is not used to being used to by the audience, if the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, he can become famous." When a singer sings a song and an actor plays a play, he can get hundreds of thousands of dollars, you say, who is amazing. ”

Huang Rong sneered at him and said, "What's the matter, are you very envious of others?" Also, if you are an unemployed vagrant, you can't even eat enough, and if you don't envy and envy these stars, it will be even more unreasonable. ”

Lin Yi smiled: "If I tell you that I make more money in a day than these stars, do you believe it?" ”

"Believe you, a ghost!" Huang Rong bared her teeth, "Holding the instant noodles I gave you, and dare to say such marginal words, dream!" ”

Lin Yi reluctantly sucked a noodle, "Alas, no one believes the truth, but I made more than 2 million yesterday." ”

"Bragging again?!" He wanted to make a gesture and dumped the bucket towards Lin Yi, so frightened that Lin Yi jumped out of the window.

After laughing for a while, Huang Rong said, "Don't run, come and help me move the dresser in the room." ”

Lin Yiqi said: "Didn't you just move, why did you move again?" ”

"It feels like it's in the way."

"Oh, okay then." Lin Yi was just about to roll up his sleeves when the mobile phone in his pocket rang again.

"I'm sorry, wait for me first...... Lin Yi took his mobile phone, "Hey, who, hey, hey......" walked out.

Looking at Lin Yi's pretending appearance, Huang Rong's teeth itched with hatred, "As soon as you ask for help, I will slip away, every time the phone rings--- I think I'm stupid!" ”

……

Lin Yi was very wronged, because the call was from Lao Cao.

Lao Cao said very "affectionately" on the phone, I miss you!

Lin Yi said, go and die.

Then Lao Cao said, you don't squeak when you go to Nanjing, I'll look for you in a few days.

Lin Yi said slow down, you have no place to live when you come.

Lao Cao said, why don't you have a place, don't you have to live with you, and then asked vigilantly, do you have a woman?

Lin Yi was startled, thinking that Lao Cao had opened his eyes to the sky, so he said that he was guessing something, and he was not afraid of the wind and flashed his tongue.

Lao Cao grinned and said that he was a hundred spirits, and you kid must have a ghost in his heart.

Lin Yi didn't want to talk to him on this topic anymore, so he asked him what he was looking for.

Lao Cao said cutely that he missed you, and made Lin Yi vomit disgustingly.

Lao Cao said to Lin Yi in a serious way that he received an invitation here, saying that "Lu Sanye" in Nanjing was celebrating his 80th birthday, and invited collectors and players from all walks of life to gather together to hold the "Shulin Conference".

Shulin Conference?

Lin Yi was a little surprised, he hadn't heard of this in Nanjing.

Lao Cao said again, this matter is very secret, collectors who are not enough identity and grade will not receive invitations, I am very honored, you Lin Yi, as a four-grade collector, received an invitation, and finally added, I know no, even a big guy like Xu Haoming was not invited.

Lin Yi asked in detail about the time and place of the invitation, Lao Cao said it, and then he said in a roundabout way, Brother Lin, the invitation also said that you can bring one or two followers, I have been with you for so long, can you also take me to play this time, and see what kind of "Shulin Conference" is? Damn, it's like a "martial arts conference", tickling my old Cao's heart.

Lin Yi was embarrassed to refuse when he said this, but he was really afraid that this old Cao would be entangled, not to mention that he was living with Huang Rong now, and he couldn't tell clearly even if he had a hundred mouths when he was seen, so he said perfunctorily, isn't there more than half a month, and I'll talk about it then.

Lao Cao was not at ease, so he begged his mouth to describe his hard work and tuberculosis, which provoked Lin Yi to pretend, ah, the signal is not good, hey, hey, are you still there? Hang up the phone.

Shulin Conference?

Interesting!

Lin Yi rubbed his nose, full of expectations for this grand meeting to be held in the Tibetan world in Nanjing in half a month. (To be continued.) )
