Chapter 272. Eye-catching
Lin Yi bought two rare copies of "New Year's Pictures in Miniature", turned around and went to a stall specializing in selling albums, and at a glance he saw the famous cross talk actor Niu Qun's photo album "Bull's Eye Watching Home". The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info flipped through it, and it turned out to be a signed book given to the singer Na Ying by the herd.
Lin Yi doesn't know much about the art of photography, but he personally likes this photo book very much, especially the classic works (Guan Yu smokes), but he is very puzzled that the price of this book has not been high, compared to Xiao Quan's photo album, which also shoots classic characters in the 80s. Lin Yi felt that the album had his unique advantages, he was very familiar with the subjects and was able to capture those "decisive moments". As a professional photographer, Xiao Quan, although he has many classic works, in Lin Yi's opinion, the shots are too cool, they all look cold, and Yang Liping and Sanmao jump out, because they have a closer relationship, so their performance in front of the camera is better.
Not much to say, Lin Yi took 5 yuan to take this book, the stall owner estimates that he often sells this kind of book, and he doesn't care, but he doesn't know that he missed a signed book, if it is hung on the Internet, it is estimated that it can be sold at least forty or fifty.
Turning his head, Lin Yi found that the most important seller appeared today, it was a bald-headed stall owner, with a sharp beak and monkey gills, looking like a monkey spirit. He was not like other bosses, who took the sack and hurriedly poured it out. Instead, after coming, I wandered around other people's stalls, looked at this and touched that, to see if there were any good things, and if there were, I bought them, and then smoked a cigarette leisurely, and saw that everyone else was almost jumping. He untied the bag, slowly took it out, and shouted, "Don't move, don't move." I'll take it out and you'll see it again. ”
Lin Yi hurriedly stretched his neck and leaned over, and found that it was all wire-bound books!
Lin Yi suddenly came to his senses, thinking that after wandering around the "ghost market" for most of the day, it was just some small "leaks", and now he can finally show his strength.
Roughly scanned, the best is a set of "Fat Yan Zhai Re-evaluation of the Stone Record", a set of eight tall stacks, there are beautiful blue envelopes outside, the others are some rhyme books, dictionaries, and some thread-bound books of the Republic of China, most of them are a person's collection, but his collection of books is very ugly, four stupid simplified characters, "XX collection", under the signature of the online book, it is miserable.
Lin Yi fell in love with the set of "Stone Notes" at a glance, because Lin Yi knew that the thread-bound books of "Stone Records" were generally published very few in China, and even if they were published, most of them were sold in limited quantities, so he pretended to be and casually picked up a book and flipped through it, and the sharp-beaked monkey cheek stall owner didn't mind, but just said to him: "Little brother, this is a good book, even if you don't buy it, you can get a little fairy spirit." ”
Lin Yiwaner felt that this boss was definitely a businessman, and it was probably not so easy to fool him.
Lin Yi doesn't look at it, he was shocked when he looked at it, what's the matter, this set turned out to be the "Gengchen book" issued by the People's Literature Publishing House in 1974.
As long as you are a person who plays the Red Collection, you know that "The Story of the Stone" is "Dream of Red Mansions", and there are more than a dozen versions of "Dream of Red Mansions", and the popular version is Cheng Jiaben. The fat book is a newly discovered "ancient book" in the 20th century, formerly known as "The Stone Record", commonly known as "The Stone Record of the Reappraisal of the Stone Record of the Fat Yan Zhai" (The Fat Yan Zhai - it is rumored to be Cao Xueqin's uncle, who once changed and commented on the "Dream of Red Mansions". Among them, the ones that have attracted the most attention are the Jiazhu Ben, the Jimao Ben, and the Gengchen Ben. In 2010, the new edition of the People's Literature Publishing House was signed "by Cao Xueqin, Anonymous Continuation", marking that "Gao E's Continuation of the Book Theory" has been abandoned.
Of all the versions, the 1974 line-mounted Gengchen can be said to be the best version, why do you say that?
First of all, Gengchen's original book is quite early, the appearance is the most complete, preserving Cao Xueqin's original text "Dream of Red Mansions" and more than 2,000 comments on the Yan Zhai, almost all of the names of the years and months in the fat criticism exist in the Gengchen book, so the edition is the most valuable and the most precious.
Second, this set of books was published in 1974 during the Cultural Revolution for the first time in full size, and it was an in-house distribution, with no print run or price, but from a collector's point of view, no more than 500 copies.
Finally, because there are too many "red fans" at home and abroad, the price of this set of photocopied rare books continues to rise, and now the price is as high as 20,000 yuan.
If you remember well, Lin Yi once saw a set on the Internet, but the price was ridiculously high, obviously not the selling price, it was the shopkeeper's intention to show off; Indeed, if anyone can have such a set of books, they will definitely keep them as treasures, and they will be willing to sell them.
But Lin Yi never expected to see the second set in such a "ghost market" at this moment, which couldn't help but make Lin Yi ecstatic.
Looking at this set of books in his hand, Lin Yi's heart beat involuntarily, as if he saw his long-cherished lover, and he was no longer calm.
The stall owner is definitely a shrewd person, and when he saw Lin Yi's expression, he knew that he had fallen in love with this set of books, so he smiled and said, "Little brother has a good eye, this set of "Stone Records" is out of print, and when I received it from that family, there were a lot of ups and downs, and the twists and turns were almost enough to be written into a novel...... Originally, I also liked this set of books, and I was going to hide them for myself, but recently something happened at home, and I was anxious to use the money, so I had to take them out and sell them...... In short, there is no such shop in this village, and when you see something you like, you must start first, so as not to be robbed away and regret it for a lifetime. ”
Lin Yi tried to calm his emotions and not let his love for this book be exposed too much, and asked the stall owner in a calm tone, "How much does this set cost?" ”
The man smiled and said, "I'm selling books, one book is 4,000, and eight books are just 30,000!" ”
Lin Yi was depressed, just now he met a person who sold "New Year's Pictures in Miniature" on the page, and now he is selling "Stone Records" on the book, these booksellers are all working cunningly and cunningly!
Besides, the price code of 30,002 is obviously linked to the online market, so how can they Taobao people pick up the leaks?
So Lin Yi shook his head and muttered: "The price is too high, I can't afford it." As he spoke, he put the "Stone Record" back, and then looked through other thread-bound books, as if he had lost his heart to this set of books.
In fact, Lin Yi waited for the stall owner to take the initiative to reduce the price, his mind was not on the book in his hand at all, but secretly glanced at the stall owner to see what he did...... Damn, this guy didn't change his face and was as steady as Mount Tai, which didn't count, as if to prove how calm and calm he was, and then he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it leisurely, took a puff, and the smoke curled......
The stall owner smoked a small cigarette and wandered gracefully, ignoring the "complaining" gazes thrown by Lin Yi in the past.
Play patience?
Who is afraid of whom.
Lin Yi got up, pretending to have seen enough here, and patted the "dust" on his body, indicating that he was going somewhere else.
Often at this time, those stall owners who know each other will take the initiative to retain and say, "Friend, you give the highest price to listen, and if it is successful, we will make a deal." Or, "If you really want to buy it, then I'll give you less." ”
But the ...... in front of him actually turned his face when Lin Yi peeked at him.
Damn, master!
Lin Yi knew that he had hit the iron plate, this was not an ordinary second-hand bookseller, he had obviously studied psychology, and he had eaten himself to death.
What to do?
Do you give up voluntarily, or continue acting?
Lin Yi had no way out, so he had to pretend to wander to another bookstall, pretending to browse the old books on the bookstall, but he was shouting in his heart: "Call me, call me." If you call me, I'll turn back immediately......"
However, the stall owner's eldest brother was obviously hard-hearted, and he was indifferent to Lin Yi's departure.
Lin Yi was a little deflated, he squatted in front of the used bookstall and looked at it for a while, all the books were not in his eyes, and the set of "Stone Records" was in his mind, so he couldn't help but look back, this was unbelievable, there was a dead fat man who picked up the set of books, and seemed to like it and was looking through it carefully.
Lin Yi no longer hesitated, so he turned back and said to the stall owner: "Friends, I really like this set of books." ”
The stall owner smiled and said, "What you said is interesting, not only do you like this set of books, but many people like it, or don't believe you to ask this big brother ......."
The fat man shook the huge gold ring on his finger, shook his head and said, "This is an out-of-print book, and the quality is so good, put it in the hands of the collector and keep it in his hand and don't go out...... It's a rare opportunity, but it's a pity that I'm short on money. "My eyes are fixed on this set of books, and it seems that I really can't put it down.
Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately made a decision and said, "It's better to be like this, 30,000 yuan, I'll buy it!" ”
"Thirty thousand?" The stall owner paused for a moment, then seemed to be thinking and struggling hard, and finally raised his head and looked at him steadfastly: "Okay then, I'll make you a friend!" ”
"But I didn't have that much cash with me--- why don't I pick it up at the ATM later, or write you a check?" Lin Yi said.
The stall owner was still hesitating, and the fat man wearing a big gold ring next to him said: "Don't mind, that's a lot of trouble, this matter is a loss to me, I just have 30,000 yuan in cash here, and I will give it to you first." ”
"Ah, big brother, how embarrassing is this." Lin Yi didn't expect this fat man to be so enthusiastic.
"It's okay, I still have this, you can brush it for me." As he spoke, the fat man took out something.
Lin Yi looked at it and was dizzy, it turned out to be a POS machine!
Lin Yi was a little surprised by the identity of the fat man, but he couldn't think too much about it at this time, so he could only obediently brush 30,000 yuan.
……
After the transaction was completed, Lin Yi took the set of wire-bound Gengchen's book "The Story of Stones" and left the bookstall.
Behind, the fat man didn't leave, but looked at Lin Yi's back and sneered: "This stupid bird! ”
At this time, the bald stall owner came over and said with a hippie smile: "How is it, Jin Ye, I played that scene well just now, right?" ”
The golden fat man smiled: "It's not bad, just your bald head, you're about to catch up with Ge You---"
"No matter how powerful you are, you can't compare to Jin Ye, how many sets of pirated thread "Stone Records" in the small workshop have you sold, the cost of 300 yuan, I just sold 30,000 yuan, I really admire it to death!"
The golden fat man smiled: "Admire and beg, I don't see this little money in my eyes." If you want to make a lot of money, you can play gambling jade, that's exciting enough! ”
"Yes, yes, it's a pity that I have to guard this stall, and I can't go with you to see it later!"
"If you have a chance, the fat man will go first--- this is your reward!" The golden fat man casually dropped three hundred yuan and left triumphantly.
Later, the face of the stall owner who was originally crowded with smiling faces immediately changed, picked up the three hundred yuan and scolded: "Dog, it took half a day to play to give three hundred, and I called Huazi!" (To be continued.) )
