As the principal of the school, Li Weimin never believed that Lin Yi would really be willing to pay 300,000 yuan to buy such a large pile of rags. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn his opinion, Lin Yi is a good person, and he probably feels a little embarrassed to donate directly, so he helped the school by buying this pile of rags.

This is a kind man, a man who is free from low tastes, a man who is good for the people.

For some reason, Li Weimin's heart suddenly poured out such Chairman Mao quotations.

Lin Yi was actually very embarrassed in his heart, it would be fine if he didn't know the goods, but there was such a large pile in front of him who didn't know how many treasures were hidden. Of course, these treasures may not be of much use to others, after all, they will not "repair skills" to buy back tattered or tattered, but for Lin Yi, he is fully capable of "turning decay into magic" and turning this pile of "rags" into "treasures". To put it bluntly, this pile of tattered books depends on whose hands they are, in the hands of others it is still a pile of rags, and in Lin Yi's hands, they are all treasures.

Lin Yi never thought how kind he was, and he didn't ask for anything in return. But this time he really wanted to help this school, and wanted to help the respectable principal in front of him, if not for anything else, but for him to be able to stick to such a difficult post for so many years. Therefore, Lin Yi gave a price of 300,000 very sincerely.

But in Li Weimin's opinion, it is already very good that this pile of rags can be sold for 10,000 yuan, and Lin Yi is obviously helping himself, so he is very moved, and he feels very embarrassed while being moved.

Lin Yi felt that he had taken a big advantage, but there were some things that he couldn't say to the principal, so both of them were weak-hearted, and felt that the other party had suffered a loss, and that awkward mood was very delicate.

Fortunately, Lin Yi took the initiative to break the silence, and said to Principal Li that these books were broken enough and could no longer be flipped casually, rather than being transported home from these and then transported back to Nandu from home, it was better to store them here first, and then transport them back directly when Lin Yi was about to leave.

Lin Yi meant to avoid "secondary damage", after all, the more you toss, the more messy these broken books became.

Principal Li heard that people didn't care much about these books, and hoped to transport them back to Nandu when they left their hometown, so he confirmed his guess even more, this little comrade named Lin Yi was a good person, and the main purpose of buying books for 300,000 yuan was to donate money to the school.

Lin Yi called Cao Yidao and Lao Huang here, although he wanted to store such a large number of old books, a total of seven or eight thousand old books, but Lin Yi was careful and felt that it would be better to pick out some precious ancient books first, such as the mutilated "Mengxi Pen Talk" in his hand. But there were too many books, so I had to find someone to help.

Principal Li has no doubt that there is it, since 300,000 yuan has sold all these broken books, then they are all people's, and people can toss as much as they want, just do their duty and help keep these books.

……

Over there, Cao Yidao and Huang Jiaotou were warming up in the car, and when they heard the call, they got out of the car, and a few children outside were curiously touching around the car, and Cao Yidao scolded: "Get out of the way, little brat!" Don't stay at home on a snowy day, run here and go wild! Haven't seen a car yet? You can't afford to scratch it! ”

When the children heard him curse, they threw snowballs and hit him severely. Cao Yidao didn't expect these children to be so wild, they were beaten to a disgraced face, and he wanted to scold a few more words, but found that Lao Huang had already left him and left.

"Grass, no righteousness!" Cao Yidao had no choice but to glare at the group of little bastards angrily, and a snowball smashed into his bald head and exploded.

The child laughed, and Cao scolded with a knife and didn't beat it, so he could only say: "Little rabbit, you wait!" Wait a while, Cao Ye will come back, and you will see! ”

In response, a large snowball was smashed.

"Oops! Oops! Cao Yidao protected his bald head and jumped and fled.

……

Looking at the large pile of tattered old books in front of him, Cao Yidao was dumbfounded. Originally, he thought that Lin Yi would be able to catch a fat fish, after all, he pulled out the fragments of the Song and Yuan versions in the waste paper pile last time, but he didn't expect it...... It's in tatters in front of you.

As an old connoisseur of playing books, Lao Cao is also a knowledgeable person, playing books is in condition, playing with the old as new, the better the quality, the greater the value; As long as the quality is slightly worse, the price code will be greatly discounted. Of course, if a book is only missing the cover, or the back cover, it's nothing, at most it is marked with five or six products, and it can be sold when it meets the right buyer.

But in front of me...... These are not only lacking in front of the butt, but some are missing most of them. These are not books, they are simply scraps, and if they are in good condition, they are at most one or two grades.

Lao Cao's brain turned fast, and then he calculated, 300,000 to buy so many garbage goods, even if there are one or two copies hidden here, no, even if there are three or four rare books of the Song and Yuan Dynasty, calculated according to the page number, commonly known as "one page of Song and Yuan and one tael of gold", that is an exaggeration, the real Song and Yuan version wants to sell a page as soon as possible It is about seven or eight hundred yuan, how many pages can three copies have? Three hundred pages? Then 300x700 is only 200,000 at most, but the price offered by Lin Yi is 300,000, and this transaction is designated to be compensated.

The small abacus in Lao Cao's head clanged, and he quickly calculated the gains and losses of Lin Yi's deal. So he kindly reminded Lin Yi to think clearly, and before he could pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, it was too late to rip off or bargain again.

Lin Yi said: "Hurry up and pick, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Lao Cao muttered: "Good intentions are not rewarded!" Reluctantly, he squatted down and tried to pick books in decent condition from the pile of "waste paper".

……

Picking out old books of great value from a large pile of books is definitely a kind of manual work and careful work.

For those who love books, this kind of work is definitely a pain and a pleasure, because if you are not careful, you may unearth some rare book.

But for those who are not interested in old books, this kind of work is definitely boring, such as Lao Huang.

Huang Jiaotou's physical strength was the best among the three, but at this moment, he would rather punch the tiger and kick the dragon with his legs than squat in the pile of old books and pound these tattered old books.

But he had to endure it, the urge to be full of strength and nowhere to go. Because Lin Yi asked him to do this, he had to do what he was doing well, whether it was embroidering or knitting sweaters.

In contrast, Cao Yidao's patience is not so good. At first, he still enjoyed the taste of searching for treasures in the waste paper pile, but gradually, he wanted to find the most valuable books among the seven or eight thousand books, but there were very few, and he had already selected a large number of them in front of him, no less than a thousand, but he could not even pick out a good one. He was a little disheartened, thinking that doing so was a fool --- a fool to pool the basket. So he took a leave of absence halfway, urinated and went to the latrine, hiding in the corner and squinting and smoking a small cigarette.

……

In the pile of old books, the selected old books have almost been piled up into a high hill, one next to Huang Jiaotou, one next to Lin Yi, and half of Lao Huang's original position.

The hard work paid off, and Lin Yi and the others selected seven or eight old books that were in good condition, three of which were actually in the Ming version, respectively---

In the ninth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Mao Yixiang Wenxia Pavilion engraved a total of six volumes

, high-grade Wanli white cotton, Ming Dynasty original, first engraved and first printed, weak quality.

Ming Jiajing Zhao Wangfu Weijingtang cherished the rare book "Poems" 14 volumes and 36 volumes, and the quality was weak.

In the twenty-third year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Jinling Shulin Zhou Xian's publication of "Shantang Examination" was full of eight volumes, but the quality was weak.

The reason why Lin Yi attaches great importance to these Ming versions is because "Song and Yuan versions are rare, and Ming versions have replaced them as new favorites" in the market.

Lin Yi followed Uncle De to learn the knowledge of Ming version identification, and knew that the engraving business in the Ming Dynasty could be divided into three periods:

The engraved book of the early Ming Dynasty, inheriting the atmosphere of the Yuan Dynasty, is mostly the black mouth of the Zhao font, and the paper is mostly made of white cotton paper, which is cherished by the collector as the "black mouth white cotton paper" book, and some people think that it can stand side by side with the Song and Yuan books; In addition, it is rare to find a complete copy of an early Ming inscription, so if it is an early complete print, it is very collectible. The market is mostly full of fragments, and the fragments are due to the large number of surviving books, especially some ancient books that are divided into multiple volumes, so that the possession coefficient is not very high, unless there are some special gimmicks, such as the original palace publications, or the original beautifully bound scriptures or solitary books, rare books that have been handed down very rarely, but the price is still not high, and it has great collection potential.

The Ming book in the middle period, also known as the Jiajing book, was very popular at that time to re-engrave the Song book, characterized by white European characters, the font is square and rigorous, and white cotton paper is also used; However, around 2010, there was a hype "white cotton tide". At that time, a speculator only invested less than 100 million yuan to speculate the price of clear cotton to the highest price at the autumn auction in 2010, when only a full set of original Ming Jiajing white cotton paper printed ancient books. A single volume can be sold for 80,000-100,000 yuan a copy, which can be said to be 5-8 times higher than the previous two or three years, so it can be said that it is the golden period of the entire Ming Dynasty white cotton paper printing since the auction. But this year, due to the sell-off of speculators' shipments, there was a state of no market, which made the price of cotton paper prints return to about 30,000-60,000 yuan per volume. Therefore, when buying ancient books or any investment products, we must pay attention to whether the purchased varieties have large buyers to enter and control, especially such as ancient books, such a niche collection, once the speculator sells the goods, few other speculators take over, the market price may fall sharply

The later Ming version is also known as the Wanli version. Wanli is mixed, although there are not many excellent works, it is characterized by the use of yellow bamboo paper, the font is horizontal and vertical; Because it is difficult to distinguish between the Wanli version and the early Qing Dynasty version, the price of this version is not very high, and some are even mistaken for Qing inscriptions, so the collection price of this kind of ancient books is still in the middle and low water products, and it also has great collection value.

Finally, after teaching Lin Yi's words, Uncle De made a summary of the collection of "Ming Ancient Books":

Thinking of the situation at the beginning of 2010, when there was a situation of "hard to find", people often think that there are few Ming edition books and they are very precious, but now it seems that there are not very few Ming edition books, and they are not as expensive as imagined, so the common sense of collecting and trading ancient books is "don't be reluctant to sell if it's high, and don't be reluctant to buy it if it's low".

However, it should be kept in mind that the rare paper, the fine printmaking, the beautiful binding, the collection of famous artists, the content is lonely, and the rare books in the world should always be the top priority of the Ming edition of the ancient book collection, and at the same time applicable to the collection of ancient books of other dynasties. However, it should also be noted that it is not emphasized here that it is a complete set, because after all, most collectors are not famous eunuchs, and there is far from so much silver to speculate.

Now that Lin Yi looks back and understands Uncle De's words, he feels that he has been empowered and has a deeper understanding of the collection of old books and ancient books, at least he knows that the pile of waste paper in front of him is definitely "making money without losing money", just these three sets of Ming periodicals can be sold for at least 200,000 yuan after restoration, not to mention that he still has the super precious Song version of "Mengxi Pen Talk" in his hand.

……

Time passed slowly, and at noon, Lin Yi, Lao Huang, and Cao Yidao simply had a school cafeteria meal with those boarders at school.

The meal is simple, potatoes, cabbage stewed together, followed by steamed buns. Lao Cao couldn't eat such a meal, and his bowl was wiped out by Lao Huang. Lin Yi ate a small bowl, he was in a high mood, he didn't feel hungry at all, the second bowl served to him was given to Sun Amao and a group of children by Lin Yi, the children saw that Lin Yi had a lot of potatoes, and they grabbed it like crazy, and they ate it in a hurry, and their mouths were full of soup.

In the afternoon, he continued to shop for books, and when it was dark, he almost picked out more than 300 books, which were in slightly better condition and slightly more precious in content, for Lin Yi, these results were enough for him to be satisfied.

Principal Li Weimin was also very satisfied, because Lin Yi promised to pay the school 300,000 yuan in arrears tomorrow, and the construction of the school was finally completed.

It can be said that everyone is happy with this transaction. (To be continued.) )
