Chapter 192. Knowledge is power
Lin Yi is glad that for a long time, as a fanatical "Golden Bottle Plum Control", Lin Yi likes to take pictures and texts about the Golden Bottle Plum version with his mobile phone and store them on his mobile phone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info used to see this "single book" published in 1936 on the Internet of "The First Strange Book of Cao Hanmei's Paintings", so I couldn't help but copy the pictures on the Internet in order to comfort the pain of lovesickness. At this moment, it is really useful.
Holding the mobile phone and making evidence of the pictures inside, Lin Yi said to Ah Shuibo: "Boss, you look carefully......" flipped the picture with his hand to convert, and the cover, title page, inner page, and copyright page of the single book were all displayed in detail---
It was first published on June 1, the 25th year of the Republic of China (that is, in 1936).

"See, boss, your book is not the first edition, but the 1942 edition, and the printing quality of the two editions is not the same, they are beautifully colored, but you are, alas, don't say it...... In short, the two versions are not the same, so the collectible value is greatly reduced. Lin Yi explained in great detail, "Of course, if you have the 1936 edition, and the ten volumes are complete, I will be worth it even if I give you thirty or fifty thousand." ā
The ghost knows, the "single book" published in 1936 had its first episode because of the war, but Lin Yi's so-called full set of "ten volumes" asked the shopkeeper Ah Shuibo to find it?
Knowledge is power, in the face of the huge power of knowledge, all people are humble, so Ah Shuibo swallowed his saliva, he didn't know so much, but Lin Yi said the Tao, and came up with enough evidence. After selling books for so many years, Ah Shuibo knows that the value of the "first edition" is far greater than the later "re-edition", ---and he doesn't know what those readers are pursuing, aren't the first editions and reprints the same?
Seeing that Ah Shuibo had a dark face and did not speak. Lin Yi's belly played the drum, he had changed a reason very cunningly just now, and he didn't know if Ah Shui Bo was on the road......
Even Lin Yi had already made up his mind, even if Ah Shuibo was not fooled by himself, Lin Yi also decided to buy this set of extremely rare Republic of China Golden Vase Plum Comic Strip, this kind of thing is already a rare "cultural relic", no matter how much it is worth the price. If he wants 30,000, he will give him 30,000, and if he wants 50,000, he will give 50,000. Since Taoshu, Lin Yi has never been so generous in formulating such a high "psychological price".
However, it seemed that Lin Yi's worries were superfluous, but after thinking for a while, Ah Shuibo said: "20,000, you take this set of books--- 10,008 is really less." ā
Lin Yi: "......" was so happy that he almost jumped up, but on the surface, he still had to make a look of indecisiveness, hesitated, thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, saying, "Deal!" --- 20,000 is 20,000, and the right is to make friends! ā
Ah Shuibo rewrapped this set of rare book comics and handed it to Lin Yi, although there was a gap between the price of 20,000 yuan and the 50,000 yuan in his heart, but the reason of the people was clear, he finally met a connoisseur who knew the goods, and it was not in vain to sell it.
Lin Yi was even more overjoyed in his heart, originally he was interested in the Taiping Bookstore hardcover book "The Words of the Golden Bottle of Plum", however, that book "Famous Flowers Have Masters", but he didn't expect that he finally unexpectedly harvested the coveted "Golden Bottle Plum Quantu", in contrast, this set of books is already a rare book is hard to find, but the Taiping Bookstore can still be found, and he can be regarded as picking up a big bargain.
How do you say that sentence, "If you lose your puppet, you will reap it"!
ā¦ā¦
For 25,000 yuan, I bought a total of two sets of books in Ashuibo Used Bookstore, one set of "Di Qing Romance" comic strip, and one set of "Golden Vase Plum Quantu", which can be described as "full of harvest" for Lin Yi.
Coupled with the four sets of comic strips that he bought from the "Doll Book Grandma" before, the things that Lin Yi was carrying at this time could be said to be extremely heavy; Carrying the comic strip, his arm was tired and sore, but Lin Yi's heart was as sweet as eating honey. Perhaps this is the most puzzling thing for bookworm book lovers, a lot of old books are regarded as treasures, and in the eyes of many people, these people are really sick.
Picking up the book in his hand, looking back, Lin Yi took one last look at the last used bookstore on Macau Street.
The dusty second-hand bookstore is quite lonely in the busy and crowded city.
Compared to the aristocratic casinos, hotels, and even leisure centers around Macau, the second-hand bookstore stalls are nothing less than ordinary grassroots. However, her humble background could not erase her tenacious vitality. Still sticking to the cultural position in a corner of the city in loneliness, this lonely and persistent persistence is like an ancient lone ranger, which is moving.
Seeing this used bookstore, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of the "Baihe Used Book Store" that he often went to in high school.
Every time after school, Lin Yi always rode his bicycle to the used bookstore, where he could always see the middle-aged boss who was tall and fat, with a modest attitude and a smile on his face. His dusty face is like those old books that have been dusted for a long time, simple, down-to-earth, and heavy, which makes people feel friendly and warm.
He knows books, but he doesn't use them to ask for a high price. Lin Yi once spent 3 yuan to buy the hardcover "Vernacular Reading Wei Caotang Notes" published by Yue Li Publishing House, and now the book is 50 to 80 yuan on the Internet. There is also the Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House in 1962 published "Liao Zhai Zhi Wei - Hui School Hui Hui Commentary", a set of paperback three volumes, excellent condition, only to ask Lin Yi for 30 yuan, now the price of that set of books has risen to 660 yuan to 800 yuan, hardcover is as high as 1500 yuan to 2000 yuan.
At that time, Lin Yi almost saw "Liao Zhai" and "Reading Wei Caotang", which were books that wrote nonsense foxes, and he was excited and almost crazy when he saw such books, just like a hungry wolf seeing delicious food, he immediately bought all the books on the stall and put them into the bookcase at home for careful collection.
Why do you like to buy used books in used bookstores, and why do you like to sell used books at used book stalls? Lin Yi sometimes asks himself like this, because these old books are not expensive and of good quality, such an opportunity is simply a big sale of brand-name clothing in the eyes of women, how can anyone who reads let it go?
Books and people complement each other, and a good book can only be worth the money and be suitable if it meets a bosom friend who knows her. Otherwise, you will either end up in the dust or die in the paper mill. The second-hand bookstore is a different kind of bridge between books and readers, like an excellent matchmaker, I don't know how many beautiful marriages have been achieved in the world.
At least, today, in Macau, Lin Yi got a good "marriage".
ā¦ā¦
When Lin Yi finished shopping for books at used bookstalls and used bookstores in Macau, most of the time had passed, and this scene had the flavor of "there is no nail in the mountains, and the cold does not know the year".
Fortunately, Haitang called and said that the big guy was playing at the Lisboa Casino, and asked Lin Yi if he could come.
Lin Yi was not interested in the casino, not to mention that he was carrying a bag of "losing" in his hand, and he was looking for mildew when he went, so he said he couldn't go and waited for them at the ferry outside.
Lin Yi was leisurely alone, carrying a well-harvested bookbag, eating all kinds of snacks on Macao Street, and unconsciously it was approaching evening.
Looking up, the sun is about to set, the sea breeze is blowing, and the salty smell of the sea is clearly audible.
At this time, Begonia and the others came back from playing, and everyone looked unsatisfied, laughing and talking about their various interesting stories in the casino.
It turned out that after everyone went to the casino, they all took a few hundred Hong Kong dollars to exchange for chips, and tried to be a "gambling god" feeling. It's just a pity that not everyone can be the "God of Gamblers", except for Xu Tianyou Xu Dashao who won 3,000 Hong Kong dollars with 500 Hong Kong dollars, the rest of the people were all "bankrupt" and lost all their chips.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Dashao, who was high-spirited and felt possessed by the "God of Gamblers", directly complained that Lin Yi, the boss, had no eyes as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't see his majestic appearance of killing all sides on the gambling table, and said that if Lin Yi saw it, his life would be changed again.
Lin Yi taught him, "Small gambling is pleasant, big gambling hurts the body." ā
Everyone knows that Lin Yi likes to buy books, but when he saw Lin Yi buying such a comic book in one go, he couldn't help but be surprised, especially Xu Dashao couldn't understand, could it be said that going to a used bookstore and a used book stall to buy books is more attractive than going to a casino to have a few happy games?
I don't understand, I really don't understand!
Among the 12 people, only Haitang is the most clear and understanding of Lin Yi, and his eyes are full of tenderness and praise, as if to say, these are very good books--- your vision is so good!
Seeing Lin Yi and Haitang looking at each other affectionately, Su Xue on the side twisted her eyes to the side, and her heart was full of indescribable taste.
This man was supposed to be mine, but unfortunately, fate has not arrived.
ā¦ā¦
Taking the ferry, a group of 12 people returned to the hotel again and went back to rest.
In the room, Lin Yi and Haitang lingered alone for a while, after all, the two will be separated tomorrow, and Lin Yi will follow the team back to the mainland.
For Begonia, every moment that the two can be together at this moment is precious. Of course, Lin Yi thought the same thing, he kissed Haitang's forehead, hugged her tightly in his arms, and the two looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky through the window, immersed in tender feelings.
In the other room, Xu Dashao didn't know what mistakes he had made, and was trying to explain to Han Meimei, Han Meimei lowered her head and cried, Xu Dashao snapped and slapped herself a few times. Han Meimei turned around and grabbed his hand, not letting him hit him again, Xu Dashao's hippie smile directly hugged Han Meimei in his arms.
Adjacent to the room, the three old men are packing their own luggage, coming to Hong Kong for a few days, the big guy has also bought a lot of things, milk powder, diapers or something, but also stuffed the suitcase full, now they are worried, how to carry such a heavy box back.
In the bathroom, Agent Xiong shaved carefully in the mirror, and the MP2 group happily watched the variety show of Hong Kong TVB TV in the living room. In the past few days in Hong Kong, they fell in love with Hong Kong variety shows, although they didn't understand the words inside, they felt that Hong Kong variety shows were still very good. Agent Xiong looked at his shaved appearance in the mirror, time is running out, he will return to the mainland tomorrow, whether he can pursue Su Xue or not, it depends on this one.
In Su Xue's room, Su Xue curled up her legs and snuggled up on the bed, like a listless cat, not knowing what she was thinking. At this time, the doorbell rang, Su Xue ignored it, and after ringing for a while, she got up and opened the door. Outside the door, the bear agent was holding a bouquet of flowers, with a sneer on his face, and with a bang, Su Xue closed the door directly. The bear agent was closed, and he didn't even have time to say a word, looking confused. Su Xue returned to the bedside, curled her legs, buried her head between her hands, and continued to be in a daze.
The moon is in the sky---
Inside the room, everyone is doing their own thing, preparing for tomorrow's return.
Really, going back! (To be continued.) )
