"How's that, do you like this set of books? If we can cooperate with New Century, this set of books can be given to you as a welcome gift. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Boss Cai said boldly.

"Give it to me?" Lin Yi smiled, "Indeed, I like this book very much, but it is useless, I still don't understand, why do you have to cooperate with our company?" ”

"Don't you understand, we are Taiwan, we are a gang, and our every move will be noticed by many people and departments, so if we want to exchange these collections for money to help ourselves, we must find a trustworthy auction company." Boss Cai said slowly, "Of course Taiwan's is not good, Hong Kong is too big, too famous, and some are too conspicuous, not to mention that I can't trust those foreign devils' companies, only you in the new century, I still think it's good." ”

"Not bad, how good?" Lin Yi asked rhetorically.

"If I remember correctly, you came alone to save those two friends--- it may be a little inappropriate to say that you are friends, you seem to have only known each other for a day or two, and their relationship with you seems to be very unfriendly...... But even so, you didn't care about your own safety, and you gave up on them, and you still came here. ”

"You know what it is? This is the righteousness that the Jianghu people say! If I'm not mistaken, you're a righteous person, I can't trust those contracts, those contracts, I only trust my own eyes. You're a person I like, someone I like, that's why I'm going to give you such a big business. ”

After saying this, Boss Cai stuffed the "Yutai New Song" into Lin Yi's satchel and said, "Put it away, no matter how much this set of ancient books is worth, it can't exceed my trust and recognition of you." There are so many collections here, maybe we will work together for a long time...... Lin Yi, we are all human beings, but we are in different positions, but how do people communicate with each other? What else is there besides monetary benefits, family and friend relationships? Isn't it the righteousness left by the ancestors! So, you don't have to mind anything, it's a welcome gift for us, and it's also a symbol of cooperation and friendship. ”

People are so bold and heroic, Lin Yi is embarrassed to think too much, so he said "thank you", and then with the permission of Boss Cai, he began to browse this magnificent treasure house.

I don't know if I really don't understand, or if I want to test Lin Yi's understanding of ancient books, Boss Cai said that these ancient books are really that valuable? In the eyes of these rough people, these ancient books are not easy to read, and they cannot be eaten, why do so many people like to collect them?

Lin Yiwaner pointed to the ancient books on the bookshelf and said, in 1996, a fragment of the Song version of "Wenyuan Yinghua" was auctioned for 1.43 million yuan; In 2003, a group of "Qianjing Tang Tibetan Ming Dynasty Celebrity Rulers" was auctioned for 9.9 million yuan; In the spring of 2004, a remnant of the manuscript of Qian Qianyi, a great poet in the early Qing Dynasty, was auctioned for 2.65 million yuan......

Boss Cai looked at Lin Yi pointing to those ancient books, such as a number of treasures, and said the value of each set of ancient books, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he said to himself, could it be that these ancient books are more expensive than gold?

Lin Yi smiled and said that it was not more expensive than gold, but faster than gold, and it was more collectible.

Boss Cai didn't seem to understand, and he actually hugged his fists and came to Lin Yi in a "ask" posture.

Lin Yiwaner, such an "apprentice", he couldn't stand it, and he hurriedly told the other party some knowledge about the collection of ancient books.

……

Lin Yi said that book collection has always been the favorite of literati. Judging from the unearthed cultural relics, the private collection of classics began in the early Han Dynasty. Today's people refer to rare books, usually refers to the Tang Dynasty woodblock engraving and printing, to the 60th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, and to the early 20th century before the ancient books with research value. In terms of editions, it is mainly divided into engraved books (engraving printing), manuscripts (handwritten, copied, manuscripts), movable type books (movable type printing), etc. The Song and Yuan dynasties were the pinnacle of engraving printing, with exquisite carvings, dignified fonts, exquisite paper and ink, and high quality of proofreading because there was no commercial significance. Therefore, since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Song and Yuan editions have become a hot spot for collectors, the so-called "one page of the Song version, one or two gold".

Lin Yi paused when he said this.

Then Boss Cai said, I have heard of this "one page of Song version, one or two gold", although I am not pretending to be Sven, I still know a few knowledgeable people, they often talk about this, I didn't know what to say at the time, but now I understand that what people are talking about is what I don't know. I know how to rectify the gangs, if the members are reorganized, how to deal with the government, how to deal with the police, this is really like a mountain, I guess when I was with people, they called me "big boss" behind my back.

Lin Yi began to like this Boss Cai, and he even knew how to laugh at himself.

A person who knows how to laugh at himself is worth befriending, because his life will never be lonely.

……

Lin Yi began to explain why he said "one page of the Song version of the book, sixteen taels of gold". It is said that in 2003, at a Chinese bookstore auction of ancient books, a page of 1244 (the fourth year of Song Chunyou) Mongolian engraved "Xuandu Treasure - Yunqi Seven Notes", only 26cmx76cm, not as big as a face towel, was sold for 49,500 yuan. According to the international price at that time, you can buy a pound (according to the old system is sixteen taels) of gold!

Lin Yi said with emotion that a senior bibliophile he knew had not touched the Song version of the book before he died, and he was deeply sorry, but he was fortunate to be able to see and play with it in the auction, and to identify and check the rare books of the Song and Yuan dynasties for others.

Because rare books are paper products and are easy to be damaged, there are many unique and rare items that have survived. The scarcity, non-renewability and substitution of the surviving amount of ancient books determine that the ancient books of the Song and Yuan dynasties will always be a hot spot. At the auction, books before the Yuan Dynasty were sold on fragments; Books 600 years ago were sold on pages; Books from 400 years ago were sold in books---

……

After hearing this, Boss Cai suddenly frowned, and said I gave you that book just now...... Bite one's tongue.

Lin Yi said that it belonged to the Song version of "Yutai New Song", and it was sold on fragments.

Looking at the thick set of ancient books, Boss Cai's heart ached slightly.

……

Lin Yi also said that in addition to the Song and Yuan Dynasty engravings, the Ming and Qing dynasties are all good and in good condition, especially the ancient books with special materials are the hot spots for investment and collection in the future. Such as prints, novels; Books printed with movable type, multi-color overprints, and fine paper such as cotton paper and culture paper; Famous writers copy school books, manuscripts, etc. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Jin Jigu Pavilion Ying Song "Tao Yuan Ming Collection" two volumes of manuscripts, in 1996 the hammer price of 170,000, now the market valuation is not less than 1 million. The reserve price of the four-volume Ming Dynasty "Qinglou Rhyme" on paper is 180,000 yuan, and it was auctioned for more than 40 yuan at this year's auction, and the bidding is fierce, because there are 20 double-sided continuous prints, which reflects the peak level of Ming Dynasty printmaking art.

……

After hearing this, Boss Cai only said, oh, it turns out that books with pictures are more expensive than those without pictures.

Lin Yi could only say...... You still need to learn.

……

Finally, Lin Yi pointed out that for ordinary public investment collections, don't stick to rare books. For professional collectors, Ming Zhengde only entered the eyes of the law before the first year. In fact, the manuscripts, manuscripts, movable type prints, prints, Qing Dynasty engravings and red and blue prints of the Republic of China after Ming Zhengde all have considerable potential. Ancient books should be collected not only from the perspective of literature, but also from the perspective of art and folklore. Lu Xun and Zheng Zhenduo became famous collectors for collecting folk prints and New Year paintings with woodblock watermarks. In addition, special attention should be paid to the list of books banned in the past dynasties, and the criticism, proofreading, copying, and manuscripts of famous scholars. Once the question is questioned, it is worth a hundred times. This type of book is much higher at auction than the same edition of the same type. For example, the second volume of "Qianyunlou Bibliography" was hand-copied and approved by Wu Yifeng, a famous artist in the Qing Qianjia period, and the price was 473,000 yuan in 2004.

……

Lin Yi's insights on the collection of ancient books directly convinced Boss Cai, and also shocked his understanding, he used to fight the world with his fists, and he didn't understand that there were so many bends in these ancient books, even more precious than gold.

In the end, Boss Cai couldn't help it, so he asked Lin Yi weakly, "Then look at my collections, how much are they worth?" ”

Lin Yi glanced at this dazzling array of ancient books again and said, "About three or four hundred million." ”

Boss Cai: "......? NTD? ”

Lin Yi: "No, RMB!" (To be continued.) )
