Chapter III. Hainan version of "Saint Seiya of the Goddess"

Looking at the set of "Saint Seiya of the Goddess" that exuded the fragrance of strange books, Lin Yi couldn't help but reach out and pick it up, Dong Glasses saw this and said busily: "This set of books is what I received from a rich family, and they are all books saved by the children themselves, each of which is covered in a plastic bag, and the quality is almost ten products, and the Hainan edition in 1991 is one edition and one printing, 45 large complete sets." If you like it, it's cheaper for you! ”

Lin Yi shook his head, he was just curious about this strange book, but he didn't plan to buy such a worthless comic book.

Dong Xiangu was a little anxious, originally he accepted these comic books thinking that he could sell them to He Xiangu, and make dozens of dollars from his hands, or simply not make money to win He Xiangu's favor, but He Xiangu disdained his "flattery", thinking that today's children don't read comic books much, and they all read fantasy novels, or "Bosom Friend", "Charles IX", or "Monster Master", this kind of old-fashioned comics are not read at all.

Dong glasses are in love with the cold buttocks, seeing more than forty books smashed in his hands, he was quite depressed, so as soon as he saw Lin Yi flipping through it, he couldn't help but sell: "Such a good condition, and such a complete set, I will sell it to others for three or four yuan a copy, but everyone is an old acquaintance, cheap you, one dollar a book, 45 copies for a total of 45 yuan!" ”

Lin Yi shook his head and prevaricated embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't buy it, I don't have enough money......

Often at this time, people who are interested know how to let go, but unfortunately Dong Glasses has to sell this pile of "sad things", he has not yet made a market on a hot day, and these books are carried to death, and selling them can be regarded as reducing his burden, so he then asked: "Then how much money do you have?" ”

Lin Yi was stunned, took out a crumpled piece of money from his pocket, and muttered, "Twenty." ”

"It's only twenty yuan, it's more than half a ......" Dong glasses showed a hesitant look, but he was thinking in his heart, this was what he spent 10 yuan to collect from the little kid, the little kid was short of money to go online, no matter what was taken out and sold as scrap, originally Dong glasses planned to sell it for forty or fifty, but now-

Gritted his teeth, "Okay, if you say it's cheap, you'll be cheap, I'll eat it, who let you know me!" Dong Glasses snatched the 20 yuan from Lin Yi's hand, and very inconveniently packed the 45 copies of "Saint Seiya of the Goddess" in a plastic bag and stuffed it to him.

Lin Yi was dumbfounded.

Does this count as a strong buy and a strong sell?

I didn't plan to buy these books, he liked literature, history and philosophy, not comics; What's more, the 20 yuan is his lunch money today.

But the money has been taken away, and the book is in his own hands, so Lin Yi is embarrassed to say even if he wants to return it.

Therefore, if you don't plan to buy, don't make a price, because if you don't buy it, it's easy to hurt your feelings. Although Lin Yi thinks that he has not made a price from beginning to end, it is all Dong Glasses' wishful thinking and forced sales......

Lin Yi carried a large number of outdated comics, and left Dong Glasses' bookstall with a smile, Dong Glasses looked at Lin Yi's lonely back, and felt happy in his heart, earning 10 yuan, and finally threw these things out, the dog said, it's worth it.

……

Walking out of the Temple of Wealth, Lin Yi looked up at the sky, the sun was hanging high, just at noon, the surrounding stalls were selling pancakes, vegetables, cold skin, rice noodles, but unfortunately he was penniless, and he could only growl hungry.

Originally, he only brought 20 yuan out to look for a job today, and 20 yuan was the prepared meal money, but he didn't expect it to be replaced by a book all of a sudden.

Lin Yi smiled bitterly again, and said in his heart, it's better to go back with a cheeky face, anyway, he has been unemployed for more than a month, even if he can't find a job and is laughed at by his brother-in-law, it's better than being hungry, the old sister still hurts herself, and she will definitely cook delicious meals.

Just when Lin Yi made up his mind to go back, he heard a voice behind him: "Little brother, please stay." ”

Lin Yi felt very funny, it seemed that he was called "little brother" the most time today, but when he turned around, he saw a man in his thirties carrying a black tourist backpack and chased after him, and he didn't know him.

The man seemed to be a little anxious, sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't help but be happy to see that he finally caught up with Lin Yi: "I take the liberty of asking, did you just buy that set of comic books?" ”

Lin Yi mentioned the painful set of "Saint Seiya of the Goddess", "You mean this? ”

The man glanced at the books in the transparent plastic bag, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Yes, yes, it's this set of books." Then he cautiously asked, "I like this set of books very much, I wonder if the little brother can transfer it to me?" With a national face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks very sincere, but his eyes show a hint of businessman's cunning.

If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would be impatient to make this deal, but Lin Yi has seen all kinds of characters, and has unique insights on the aspect of people, not to mention that his damn curiosity has risen again, so he asked casually: "Why do you want to buy this set of books?" ”

The man took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, tried to relax his expression, and said, "It's not because I saw it when I was a child, but now that I'm older, I want to buy it as a souvenir." ”

Lin Yi nodded and expressed understanding, but said in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I don't want to sell it for the time being." ”

The man looked at him, squeezed out a smile again, and said, "No one reads this book, you might as well offer a suitable price and transfer it to me, and everyone can be regarded as making friends." ”

Lin Yi smiled, it seems that there are many people who want to make friends with him today, but the purpose doesn't seem to be very simple.

"I'm sorry, to be honest, I really don't plan to sell this set of books, I bought it to read and collect, so I can only apologize." Lin Yi observed the other party's reaction and made a gesture to leave.

"Don't, little brother, there is no business in this world that can't be negotiated, it's better like this, you can just make a price, as long as I can accept it, we can discuss." The man almost pulled Lin Yi's sleeve.

Lin Yi was waiting for this sentence, so he made a hesitant look and said, "Well, since you and I are peers (the tone is elongated and aggravated), then let's count it." As he spoke, he held out a finger.

Lin Yi's sentence "You and I are peers" is very meaningful, which made the man a little surprised, thinking that he was looking away, Lin Yi was not an ordinary book hunter, and he was also a fellow traveler like himself, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I didn't expect that the little brother also plays books, a thousand is a thousand, and this book is worth it!" ”

I'm dizzy!

Lin Yi almost sat on the ground, originally he saw that the man was so eager to get this set of books, so he planned to blacken his heart and sell it for a hundred yuan, but he didn't expect it...... A thousand, is it possible?!

There is nothing impossible in this world, the man has already paid for it, and the brand-new ten Grandpa Mao stuffed it into Lin Yi's hand, and said: "The little brother is so discerning at a young age, it's rare - I saw this set of books first, and I was about to make a move, but I didn't expect it to be delayed because of other things, but let the brother pick up a leak, but it doesn't matter, I liked this set of books very much, and now the market price of comic books has risen sharply, and I can still sell it if I hide it for a few more years...... You and I can do business is also fate, this is my business card, if there is any good book in the future, just contact me, my surname is Guo Zixing, you call me Lao Guo or Brother Guo, I mainly collect comics and comic books, as long as the book is in good condition and the price is fair, it can be sold! ”

Guo Zixing handed his business card to Lin Yi, Lin Yi looked very indifferent on the surface, and his heart was already overturned.

Who would have thought that such an inconspicuous comic book on a bookstall would be able to sell at such a high price.

The ground is full of treasures but no one knows about it, this old book seller seems to have a very promising future.

Guo Zixing saw that Lin Yi was just smiling, and thought that he was unfathomable, but he didn't know that this fake companion was happy now and could only giggle.

Guo Zixing bought his favorite things, couldn't help but be in a good mood, and when he saw that Lin Yiren was good, he nagged.

The concept of "collecting" is not unfamiliar to many people, and people have probably seen some collected calligraphy and paintings, currency, antiques, etc. But the collection of comic books is relatively new.

Guo Zixing is one of them, and collecting comic books has been his joy since childhood. "I've been reading comics since I was in elementary school, and I was first introduced to comics on TV in guò, but because TV updates were too slow, I just went to the bookstore across the street from my house to read comics. Later, the collection began. Guo Zixing said, took out the "Saint Seiya of the Goddess" that he had just bought from Lin Yi and said, this comic has been discontinued a long time ago, the initial price was 4.5 yuan, and then it rose to 6.5 yuan, as long as the full set is in good condition, the current market collection price is thousands of yuan.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Zixing revealed some of his experience in collecting comic books, collecting comic books, to find genuine editions, it is best to have a complete series of collections, the quality of the books should be good, the rarity is high, and it is best to stop publishing very early, so that the collection value will be relatively high. For example, the price of a foreign "Superman" comic book more than 70 years ago has been speculated to $1 million......

Guo Zixing said casually, Lin Yi listened carefully, and he learned a lot from it, Guo Zixing saw that he always listened but didn't speak, and thought that he knew all this information, and he felt bored if he talked too much alone, so he nagged a few more words and said goodbye.

Guo Zixing left, leaving behind a business card, which said that it was the owner and owner of the "Lao Liantang" used bookstore, which had a bit of an old Jianghu taste.

Guo Zixing walked casually, but he didn't know that he had inadvertently opened a door to the golden house for Lin Yi.
