Chapter 549. A leak falling from the sky

In terms of collection, there are always some things that people can't understand, such as the thin little ---book "Collection of Foreign Novels" that Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren cooperated with in the Republic of China, which can be auctioned for more than 200,000 yuan, which is incredible in the eyes of many people, after all, the Republic of China has only been a few decades ago, how could the books at that time be so precious?

But the truth is that for collectors who are obsessed with new literature, it is easy to get a copy of it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info often willing to spend a lot of money to buy in order to find their favorite rare books.

The man with the big back in front of him can be regarded as a detour, he could have spent 30,000 yuan to buy this first version of "Goddess" from the bookstall Lao Zhou, but he didn't seize the opportunity, so now he would rather spend 40,000 yuan to buy it.

It's a pity that Lin Yi is not short of this money, so he has repeatedly rejected his kindness. No matter how much the other party raises the price, it will not waver.

But in the eyes of those around me, this is a big deal. After all, most of the people who buy books at the second-hand book stalls are people who like cheap old books, people whose families are not too rich, people who like books but can't afford to buy books, and there are very few real big collectors. So when I saw that the man was willing to spend 40,000 yuan to buy Lin Yi's book of the Republic of China, I felt unimaginable, and Lin Yi resolutely refused to sell it, which was even more incredible.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. When the man with the big back saw that Lin Yi didn't open his mind, he probably guessed that people really didn't like this money, and felt that he was hopeless, at this moment, his eyes lit up and he saw something on Lin Yi's body.

What is it? A small and delicate gourd.

It turned out that since the last time the "Monk's Gourd King" gave Lin Yi this treasure gourd containing pills, Lin Yi had taken this small gourd with him, which could be used for self-defense and for easy play.

The man with the big back looked at the gourd, and asked Lin Yi in surprise: "Friend, I see that this little gourd is very familiar, do you know the monk robed gourd king?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Lin Yileng paused for a moment, and then said: "I have a relationship with him, and this gourd was given to me by him." ”

"No, you really know him?" The other party looked surprised, "You must know that I have an old friendship with him." When I asked him for this little gourd, he didn't give it to me, but I never thought that I would give it to my friend today. ”

As soon as he heard that the other party and the gourd king were friends, Lin Yi was a little excited, "Do you know his whereabouts?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "He is a hermit now, and even I don't know where he is." But every time he came to the capital, he would get together with me and have a few glasses of water and wine...... Oh yes, I haven't introduced myself yet, but my surname is Man, and it's called Manjun. ”

Lin Yi smiled, this name is quite special, it seems that there is a singer who is similar to this name.

"My name is Lin Yi, Shuangmu Lin, Elegant Yi." Lin Yi also introduced himself.

Man Jun smiled and said: "In this way, we can be regarded as fate, hehe!" ”

Lin Yi also smiled, and said, "Since Big Brother Man likes this book, it's not that Little Brother can't give it to you, I just hope you can do a favor......

When the Manchu army heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "If you want to help, you can just say it." ”

Lin Yi said: "If you see that gourd king next time, please help me with a word, just say that I thank him for his kindness, and thank him even more for this gourd." Lin Yi said gratefully. In Lin Yi's opinion, the little gourd that the gourd king gave him is simply a treasure, not to mention the elixir in the gourd, which can help his aura grow, and the gourd alone is a skillful work of art. What's more, the gourd king can see Lin Yi's true details at a glance, which shows that he is not an ordinary person. For Lin Yi, the other party's favor must be grateful.

The Manjun didn't expect Lin Yi's request to be like this, and couldn't help but say: "This is a bit difficult to do, the gourd king Shenlong can't see the head but the tail, and I don't know when I will see him." ”

Hearing what Man Jun said, Lin Yi felt that this person was not bad, you know, if someone else was for that book, he would definitely be full of promises, how could he be like him, what he said was so true.

Lin Yi said, "It's okay, you just need to meet him to help me with this." ”

Only then did the Man Jun say: "No problem, I will definitely do my best." ”

What surprised Man Jun even more was that Lin Yi transferred the book to him at the original price of 25,000 without adding a penny. This move made the Manchu army even more happy, and he thanked Lin Yi frequently.

The surrounding audience watching the lively melon-eating audience was shocked again, don't you sell 25,000 yuan for 40,000 yuan? I really don't understand the things of these collectors.

But one thing is for sure, no one underestimates Lin Yi anymore and identifies him as a big fool.

Separated from the newly acquainted Manchu army, Lin Yi looked at his distant back, thinking about everything that had just happened, and guessing whether this Manchu army would have anything to do with the "Manchu Lord", one of the three giants of the Pan Homeland, after all, this Manchu surname is a very special surname.

The reason why Lin Yi didn't add money and transferred the book for 25,000 was to be better, after all, he was able to enter the circle of new literature, and he was willing to spend 40,000 yuan to buy a book, which shows that this person is also powerful.

The hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the capital, it is always a good thing to have one more friend.

……

After browsing for about another forty or fifty minutes, Lin Yi had already browsed most of the used bookstalls in Huguo Temple. Among them, he found a set of "Jiang Taigong Gankun Prediction Song" in the 61st year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, and a copy of "Chongzheng and Yongji Tongshu" published by Dadaotang in the year of Guangxu Gengyin in the Qing Dynasty.

These two books cost a total of more than 1,200 yuan, and in Lin Yi's opinion, the price is about the same as that on the Internet, which can be regarded as saving the mailing cost of online ordering. It can be seen that the current stall owners are very smart, as long as it is a thread-bound book, a book of the Republic of China, and they think it is a good thing, they will check the price on the Internet in advance, and then use it to buy and sell on the stall. If you want to pick up the leaks in their stalls, it's a lot harder. Of course, there are also those who are flexible and will sell quickly at a lower price than online, so that it is easier to recoup the funds, after all, buying and selling used books like they do requires constant acquisition of new books, and that requires money.

In a word, it's not easy to do any line of work now.

In addition, there are also some interesting stories, such as Lin Yi in front of a used book stall, seeing a strange book friend bargaining with the stall owner, his face is red. Be curious, stop and watch. The stall owner deliberately pulled him as a support: "Look, if the book is sold to you for 50 yuan, will you bargain?" ”

Lin Yiding looked at it, and suddenly his heart beat faster, it was a first signed copy of Jia Pingwa's "Waste Capital"!

As one of the more controversial works among contemporary writers, "The Waste Capital" was hailed as "the modern "Golden Vase Plum" as soon as it came out, saying that this book has exhausted the fragrant and strange things in the literary world and subverted the entire literary world. Wrapped the entire era of chaos with erotica.

Therefore, this book has been banned and banned, and there are not many first editions, and there are even fewer first editions and signed copies, and there are seven or eight hundred hype on the Internet.

However, because this book has a large print run, it has been printed several times, and there are too many pirated copies, so it can often be seen at bookstalls. It is often possible to buy it for about five dollars.

At this moment, this book has been appraised by Lin Yi, it is definitely genuine, or the first edition, stamped with Jia Pingwa's seal, and it is definitely worth five or six hundred. The boss seemed to have sold this kind of pirated book before, and he didn't know too much about the autographed book, so he added ten times the original price of five yuan and asked for fifty yuan.

The book friend thought that he had been wandering around the bookstall all day long, and he had often seen this book before, and everyone was five or eight yuan, but this one asked for fifty, but he just had an extra seal, and he felt that it was not worth it, so he bargained here.

The boss asked Lin Yi: "Do you think fifty yuan is worth it?" ”

Lin Yi casually agreed: "Fifty is not expensive, you can buy it."

This book friend thinks he is a shrewd person, and he saw through the "trick" of collusion between Lin Yi and his boss at a glance: "Not expensive? Then you buy it. ”

When Lin Yi heard this, he immediately pocketed the book and paid the money in full.

You say, this leak fell from the sky, can you not pick it up?! (To be continued.) )
