There was a lot of laughter and ridicule all around. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoFor these ordinary book readers, spending 25,000 to buy a collection of poems of the Republic of China is simply a "mallet" and a "big hat".

Of course, Lin Yi heard these ridicules, but he didn't care, he casually browsed a few more bookstalls, harvested a book or two, and then carried his satchel and prepared to leave; Suddenly, a voice shouted from behind, "Friend, please stay." ”

Lin Yi looked back, but it was a middle-aged man who looked very rich and walked towards him.

The man's hair was groomed backwards, a typical big back, and he was wearing a jade wrench on his hand, touching the wrench with his hand, and said to Lin Yi with a smile: "I'm sorry, friend." I don't mean anything else when I let you stay, I heard that you just bought a collection of poems of the Republic of China at Lao Zhou's bookshelf, can I appreciate it? ”

Lin Yi was slightly stunned.

The man with the big back said, "Oh, maybe my request is a bit abrupt, but book lovers can't help but be curious, and I hope you can understand." ”

Lin Yi smiled, "It's okay, if you really want to see it, I'll take it out and let you take a look." ”

After that, Lin Yi took off the shoulder bag behind his back, and then took out the first version of Guo Moruo's "Goddess".

The man with the big back took it carefully, then opened the plastic sealed bag and took out the poetry book.

The so-called layman looks at the lively, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Lin Yi knew that he was an expert when he saw the way this person read the book, because the other party first looked at the cover and then looked at the copyright page.

Why? The most particular thing about the books of the Republic of China is the cover, especially some books with beautiful covers are sought after by many collectors, such as Xu Zhimo's "Self-Section", published by the Crescent Moon Bookstore in 1933, the cover is a colorful abstract figure painting. Known as the "Picasso" in books, the price is as high as 2,500 yuan; There is also "Wei Duli Girl", translated by Qiu Yunduo, 1929 edition of Modern Book Company, the cover is even more colorful and colorful, known as the "Van Gogh" in the book, and now the price is as high as 3000 yuan.

These cover designs range from simple to elegant, solemn or lively, and still exude an intoxicating atmosphere half a century later. So much so that people can't help but wonder if we are still short of bookbinding talents. There are so few books in bookstores that make people feel at first sight.

A lot of it is perfunctory, and I don't know what the binding is. There are also some books that have been designed with great material and high technology, but unfortunately have been designed to be included in the ugly encyclopedia.

When we can finally easily have a large number of daily necessities, we suddenly find that the items that accompany us every day are so ugly!

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the collection of new literature of the Republic of China will have the highlight of "cover collection".

As for the copyright page of the Republic of China, it is equivalent to a person's ID card, indicating your ancestry, age, origin, and how many siblings you have. The more precious an only child is, the rarer it is, and the older it is, the more lonely it is.

It can be said that the copyright page of a book covers all the information of the entire book, so many times, those good Republic of China books will be greatly discounted in value because of the lack of copyright pages.

The man with the big back in front of him is definitely a master in the collection of books of the Republic of China, looking at his eyes, looking at his methods, and still appreciating the order of this book, Lin Yi knows that this person is not an ordinary person, at least not an ordinary book reader.

After about two or three minutes, the man withdrew his hot gaze, carefully put the first version of "The Goddess" into a plastic sealed bag, and then handed the book back to Lin Yi, and said, "Good book." ”

Lin Yi smiled, "It's pretty good, it's rare to be the first version." ”

The man nodded, and asked Lin Yi again, "How much money did you buy?" ”

Lin Yi said, "Twenty-five thousand." ”

The man nodded again and said, "It's worth the price, just this quality, just this version...... the first version of "Goddess" is very rare, as far as I know, in this Tibetan world in the capital, there are only one or two people who have the first version." After speaking, he glanced at the book in Lin Yi's hand with great interest.

Lin Yi said: "Listen to the meaning that you are also a collector of new literature?" ”

"Hehe, don't dare to be. I just have a soft spot for these Republic of China books--- I have a lot of collections at home. The man said and habitually touched his jade wrench with his hand, as if thinking. Then he said to Lin Yi: "Friend, although I have a reluctant invitation when we meet for the first time, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Lin Yi smiled and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

The man said, "Ahem, can you give me this book in love?" ”

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to make such a request, so he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, friend, I just took this book, and I don't plan to sell it for the time being." ”

The man said with an eager expression: "I know, don't win people's love--- but I have been collecting new literature for many years, focusing on poetry collections in the new literature of the Republic of China, and there are almost all kinds of versions, but I am missing this first edition of "Goddess"! Originally, I heard that Lao Zhou had a copy in his hand and wanted to buy it at a high price, but who knew that Lao Zhou's price was too high, so I planned to cool him down and let him know that no one was willing to buy that price, but I didn't expect you to be a friend...... Alas, regret it too late! ”

Hearing what the man with the big back said, Lin Yi understood, it turned out that this person had been eyeing Lao Zhou's book for a long time, and he might feel that Lao Zhou's asking price of 30,000 was too much, or out of the confidence that others couldn't afford it, so he wanted to slow down and let Lao Zhou know that it was a good thing. Unexpectedly, this Lao Zhou is also a person with a personality and temper, and he sold it to Lin Yi for 25,000.

Knowing the cause and effect, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, this kind of thing is actually often encountered in the second-hand book market. Obviously, I like a book, I have to bargain, I dislike the price is too high, and I am very confident that no one will buy it except myself, but when people sell the book, I regret it so much that my intestines are blue.

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't speak, the man said again: "If you are willing to transfer your friend, I will buy it with Lao Zhou's previous 30,000 yuan, and you will earn 5,000 yuan as soon as you pass it, why not?" ”

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't seem to have the intention of transferring, the man began to lure.

Lin Yi smiled and said: "I'm really sorry, since I dare to buy this book for 25,000, it means that I don't care about that money, as for what you said about earning 5,000, let's wait for later, and contact you when I want to make a move." "These are polite words from the second-hand book market, which means, I don't sell.

Seeing that Lin Yi was leaving, the man was in a hurry, and stopped in front of Lin Yi again and said, "Friend, stay here!" That's it, I know it's a little difficult to let you transfer, after all, everyone is a collector of books, so can you make a price, as long as you think the price is appropriate and are willing to sell, we will make a deal. ”

Lin Yi didn't expect this guy who was still Svenwen just now to be so sticky, and he was angry and funny: "I said I won't sell it." ”

"How about thirty-five thousand? 10,000 yuan more than Lao Zhou's price for you, you definitely earned it! ”

Lin Yiguaner, in the past, Lao Zhou sold for 30,000 yuan, but you didn't buy it, but now he actually bid 3 million and a half, which can be regarded as a free offer.

Lin Yi continued to walk, the man continued to chase, and said, "Otherwise, the price will be --- 40,000 yuan!" I can only sell so much, and a similar one on the Internet has only sold for 38,000. "This guy is in a hurry, and even the old bottom is shaking out.

Lin Yi couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to stop and say to the man: "Friend, don't hide it, I'm really not short of that money, I really don't want to sell this book." ”

The words have already come to this, Lin Yi thought to himself that the other party should understand his mind.

Unexpectedly, the man muttered: "40,000 yuan is too little, you can't be too greedy." ”

At this time, there were also some people around who watched the excitement, when Lin Yi spent 25,000 to buy this book before, the big guy also called him "mallet" and "stupid hat"; But now a person who is even more stupid than him has come out, and he is willing to spend 40,000 yuan to buy it. This sudden change completely bombarded their cognition.

"It's amazing, 40,000 yuan for a book, oh my God, it's crazy!"

"It's unimaginable, people have raised the price to 40,000 and still refuse to sell!"

"What kind of world is this? A broken book can buy a car! ”

……

Looking at Lin Yi's eyes at this moment, full of envy, jealousy, and doubts--- has risen to 40,000, why does he still refuse to sell?! (To be continued.) )
