Lin Yi walked into the book reading room that was about to close down, and saw more than a dozen shelves of books neatly placed in the huge library, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be some old books, some from the seventies, sixties, fifties, and even some books from the Republic of China.

Among them, there are some valuable and good books, such as those books of the Republic of China, there are a few books that are in good condition and have a high price on the Internet, such as "Selected Essays of Bingxin", "Selected Essays of Luyin", "Selected Works of Yu Dafu", and Shen Congwen's "Essays on Xiangxing".

Of course, there are good books and bad books, and the bad books mentioned here are not bad books, but books that are of little value to people who play books, such as the tome "Marxism", "Engelsism", and "Leninism", etc., especially "Leninism", there are more than a dozen books, and each of them is hardcover brick thick.

Looking at the rows of books on the shelves, Lin Yi's heart was surging, it was rare to keep it so well, he reached out and took a few copies to take a look, it seemed that there was no other damage except for the collection stamp printed on it "City Cotton Mill Library".

In fact, there are several categories in the collection of used books, including "private collection" and "library collection". Private collection refers to a private collection of books, which are generally well cared for and in good condition, but occasionally there will be private seals and title page signature messages, such as when and what month did so-and-so buy them, or who gave them birthday gifts. The collection is the book that flows out of the unit or public library, and generally has a seal, because it is from the library, it is inevitable that it will be read by others, so it is a little worse than the private collection in all aspects of quality.

But Lin Yi looked at the books in this library, which were basically in good condition, and it seemed that the books here had not been borrowed much before.

Just when Lin Yi was thinking, the "Ace Nine" Minister Wang yawned and said impatiently: "Have you finished reading it, that's all, almost fifty or sixty thousand copies, one shot, how many do you produce?" ”

The meaning is very simple, you can say goodbye when you have less money, don't waste your time.

Lin Yi smiled, "Good condition......"

"Of course, the books I manage are basically like new. Besides, now who still reads books, they all watch TV and computers, and there is nothing on the computer, and there is nothing on the mobile phone, so the closure of this library is inevitable. Minister Wang said with his big blackened teeth bared.

"Let's talk about the price of the book, you go to those Xinhua bookstores to see, which of those new books is not thirty or forty-one, so it is still cost-effective to buy old books. In this way, one copy is equivalent to 5 yuan, and you can take it all if you want! Minister Wang said generously.

5 yuan a book, 60,000 copies, isn't it 300,000 yuan? This Minister Wang is also black enough. Although there are many books of good value in this library, Lin Yi doesn't think it's worth 300,000 no matter how he looks at it.

Seeing that Lin Yi was a little hesitant, Minister Wang was unhappy, "What's the matter, I can't eat?" That can't be helped, there are many people who want old books, you think about it again. "After that, it's time to evict the guests.

Lin Yi is also a person who has seen the world, how could he really be frightened by the 300,000, and said with a smile: "I didn't say no, although 300,000 is a little more, I can take it out, it's better to do this, I'll give you a deposit of 1,000 yuan first, you keep these books for me first, and then I'll go back and raise money for you, how about it?" Lin Yi decided, no matter whether 300,000 yuan is worth it or not, eat the 60,000 books first, the main reason is that the time is too short, and he can't look at them one by one, maybe there are any treasures in it, and a book can earn back the cost.

Minister Wang squinted at him and said, "Yes, since you say so, then it's decided, I'll help you keep it first, and you go back and get the money, and the things will be all yours." ”

Lin Yi shook hands with him, and then paid 1,000 oceans as a deposit, saying, "Happy cooperation." ”

……

Leaving the library and leaving the city cotton mill, Lin Yi went back to get the money.

In the past, 300,000 was a lot of money for him, but now it is pediatric, but if you want to withdraw so much money at the bank, you need to make an appointment.

made an appointment, and the next day, Lin Yi hurriedly went to the bank again, and it took less than an hour to withdraw the money. Wrapped in a plastic bag, and then packed in a handbag, when Lin Yi was about to take a taxi to the city cotton mill, he thought about it and found someone to pull the goods, so many books, it would take a few trips, well, there is a place to store it. So I started to be busy looking for warehouses and trucks again, and it took about three or four hours to toss and turn, and this was almost done.

Looking at the sky, it was almost dark, Lin Yi knew that he couldn't delay any longer, and hurried towards the city cotton mill.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the factory library, I saw a large group of old friends, such as Wang Heizi, Liu Sanliang, He Ying, and Dong Glasses, carrying hemp bags, vigorously carrying things outside, looking at them in the dark, almost twenty or thirty people, some even speaking with foreign accents.

Seeing Lin Yi, Wang Heizi laughed and said, "What's the matter, with such a small bag, you can't hold many books." The words were filled with schadenfreude and ridicule.

The others also looked at Lin Yi, like a fool, Dong Glasses was quite honest, and comforted Lin Yi: "Brother, you are late, the books here are almost divided, and even the people from the county are here......"

After hearing this, Lin Yi's heart suddenly cooled, it was better to come early than to come by coincidence, it seemed that he was a step late.

No, to be precise, the "Ace Nine" Minister Wang broke his promise and took his own deposit of 1,000 yuan, but he sold the book to this other person.

There was no need for Lin Yi to look for it, Minister Wang walked out by himself, and when he saw Lin Yi, he said, "Why have you been delaying for so long, it's been almost two days, I thought you didn't want these books." As he spoke, his little eyes dripped, and he didn't mention the "deposit" at all.

Lin Yi suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Although I came late, I have already decided to want these books, why did you sell them to others?" ”

Minister Wang smiled and said, "Why else, it's not that your price is too low, you give 5 yuan a copy, and people are willing to pay 10 yuan or 20 yuan, who do you say I should sell to?" Besides, this library is not my own, and the workers can get more points if it is sold. ”

Whether the workers can get the money Lin Yi doesn't know, Lin Yi only knows that this Minister Wang at least has a bulging pocket.

This Minister Wang seems to have taken advantage of it, and he sells it for nothing, as if he has made money, but who wants to pick the rest of the books inside?

It seemed that he also thought of this, and this Minister Wang said maliciously, "Of course, if you want, I can give you all the books in it at a discount, and it's not too much, just 10,000 books, well, 3 yuan a book, do you want it?" ”

Damn, I really took myself as the wronged leader, the good ones were all picked up, and you sold me the bad ones left, I really thought I was a fool.

Lin Yi remained silent, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "Put this aside for now, and wait for me to look at the books inside." ”

"Okay, take a look, the books in it are also very good." Minister Wang smiled, like an old fox.

Lin Yi re-entered the library, and the old books that were originally neatly arranged and dazzling were almost hollowed out, and the books from the 50s, 60s, and 70s that he fancied were gone.

Needless to say, they were all picked up by those who knew how to read.

The rest are basically some worthless old books, and some expired magazines, like this kind of goods are thrown to the scrap yard, at most 2 yuan a catty.

Not far away, Liu Sanliang, who has always liked to drink and get dizzy, was working hard to put some old books he bought into a sack, Lin Yi could clearly see that there were some Cultural Revolution books from the sixties, as well as red treasure books such as Taizu quotations, in Liu Sanliang's cognition, these are all awesome books, Cultural Revolution books are valuable, and red treasure books are even more valuable.

On the other end, the shrewd and capable Wang Heizi was putting the old books he had received at a high price into his sack, moving cautiously, for fear of damaging these treasures.

Seeing Lin Yi looking this way, Wang Heizi deliberately slowed down his movements, showed off an old book from the fifties with a very good quality and a beautiful cover, and then put it in the sack, and then raised his eyebrows at Lin Yi, with a sè expression.

Obviously, he was taking revenge, revenge for the insults and blows that Lin Yi gave him before.

It looks like the good stuff is pretty much divided.

Lin Yi was a little sad.

But at this moment, his sensitive nose smelled a hint of bookishness, a strange smell of books.

Lin Yi followed the scent to find it, but saw the books of the Republic of China that he had seen in the back rows of bookshelves.

Lin Yi was surprised, why didn't they want these?

Seeing that Lin Yi was stunned, the minister of the Nine Kings, who had been observing and paying attention to him, said: "These books are expensive for me, and they don't want to buy them." ”

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't have an interface, he said again: "A book is at least 50 yuan, a total of 2,600 copies, I want to shoot these with one shot, and I will never open them and sell them." ”

Lin Yi understood, this ace nine is too fine, he knows that the books of the Republic of China are good things, but he doesn't know what the specific price of each book is, so he ordered a sky-high price of 50 yuan a book, and he has to shoot it with one shot, which is about 130,000 yuan in total, like Wang Heizi, Dong Glasses, He Ying, and Liu Sanliang booksellers, it is impossible to eat them in one bite, 130,000 is an astronomical amount for them, the number is too big, and the risk is too great, they are not sure how much these Republic of China books are worth, so they have to give up.

Therefore, sometimes if you want to pick up the leaks when you buy a book, you must also have the strength.

At least, Lin Yi has such strength.

……

As for Lin Yi, he has the strength, but he will not make a rash move.

You must know that the books of the Republic of China are also good and dependent, such as the arithmetic textbooks of the Republic of China, the English dictionary of the Republic of China, etc., are not very valuable. For example, the book he pulled out was printed in Fengtian Shengjing Bookstore and published in the ninth year of Kant's "Supplementary Textbook of Superior Arithmetic", which lasted 30 yuan on the Internet. There is also the hardcover "English-Chinese Dictionary" published in the 22nd year of the Republic of China, which lasted 60 yuan.

Therefore, as a book hunter, as a book player, you must clearly understand one thing, the books of the Republic of China are not necessarily valuable, so as not to be beaten.

Lin Yi looked at those Republic of China books, began to be a little discouraged, and browsed through them, most of them were not rare books, and just when he was about to give up, his eyes were attracted by the rows of neatly stacked Republic of China books.

He looked at these books and couldn't help but be surprised, he hadn't read them carefully before, except for some common knowledge of Chinese culture and the Wanyou series, most of these books in the Republic of China were "new literature of the Republic of China"!

"New Literature of the Republic of China", the legendary "New Ancient Books", "New Rare Books", known as "a thousand gold" and "rare books are hard to find"!
