If there are legends in this world, then there is no doubt that Lin Yi's legend is definitely yearning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info From a poor scholar who reads books at a second-hand book stall, he has become a hot second-hand book tycoon, a billionaire, and the story of his fortune and success has long become the object of countless second-hand book lovers.

It's the same people, why can't others, but I can't. This is what many people ask themselves after learning about Lin Yi's story.

It can be said that countless people have worshiped Lin Yi as a god, but when this great god really appeared in front of you, no one recognized it, which couldn't help but make people laugh, and then laughed.

After Cao Yidao finished his power, he chased straight after Lin Yi.

"I said don't go so fast. During this time, I have no credit and hard work, especially your 'ink rhyme' is hidden by me. Lao Cao said with a beep in his mouth, "Also, next time you want to go somewhere to make a fortune, you must take me with you...... You see, you've become a billionaire, and I'm still poor, is this in the past? As for Lao Guo and Lao Huang, you don't have to worry about them, they are used to living a poor life, and they don't know how to squat down if they give them a golden toilet...... Take care of me, and leading a person to get rich first is the biggest responsibility of you, a book collector, at this stage. ”

Lin Yi really couldn't cry or laugh, he hadn't seen him for so long, but he didn't expect this old Cao to be so "two".

"What are you laughing at? Reluctant, isn't it? I know that you people, once you get rich, you forget about your class brothers, mix with the upper class, and are blinded by capitalist money, and only recognize money and not people. ”

Lin Yi couldn't hold back anymore and said, "What are you bragging about, go, follow me to the God of Wealth Temple." ”

"The Temple of Wealth? You still dare to go, you are the god from there, if you go there, people don't go crazy! Lao Cao said loudly.

Lin Yi ignored him and went straight to the Land Rover parked next to him, Lao Cao ran over with a leopard, grabbed the driver's seat, and said: "Don't, you are a god, don't drive, let's let Brother Cao and I come--- besides, I am familiar with the thief I drove in your car--- by the way, do you see if you will give me the gasoline money this month?" ”

……

Lao Cao was half right, Lin Yi is a great god, but the entire God of Wealth Temple did not blow up, the reason is very simple, many of the original stalls selling old books have changed careers.

For example, Dong Glasses heard that he went to work in other places, because his wife, who was almost forty years old, actually added a daughter to him, and he couldn't support his family by selling old books alone. As a man, Dong Glasses can no longer lie on the edge of the used book stall in a chic manner, flipping through his favorite idle books, he needs to work hard for a living.

There is also Liu Sanliang, who likes to drink a sip when he has nothing to do, he has never left the wine bottle all his life, but now he has a problem because of drinking, he lay in the hospital for a few days not long ago, and was taken back to his hometown by his wife after coming out.

As for Wang Heizi and his wife Sister Hong, the husband and wife partners who are the most active in the second-hand book market, they don't often come out to set up stalls, because it is difficult to do the second-hand book business now, and many books cannot be collected. People's awareness of collecting has increased, and many people like to check the price of good books on the Internet, so it is difficult for the two of them to get good books from scrap yards and private hands. If you don't have a good book, you can't attract customers, and if you can't attract customers, the business will regress more and more. There was no way, Sister Hong had to go back to her old business and open a barber shop, or the old way, when she was helping those old men get haircuts, she used the two women's murder weapons to rub on the men's backs, and she was happy that those men came to wash their hair every once in a while, but the business was prosperous. Seeing this, Wang Heizi was also silent, because he had just bought a house for his son, paid a down payment, and a loan of more than 100,000 yuan, with a monthly payment of more than 3,700 per month, which was enough for him to worry.

Finally, speaking of He Xiangu, this talented and coquettish woman in the used book market, after finally purifying many men, she chose a woman who felt reliable to marry. However, I heard that the man was actually one of the customers who often went to the small hotel with her to open a room, who knew that the two were careless when they did that, and it seemed that they had planted a seed. What kind of person is He Xiangu, of course she won't suffer, not to mention that she feels that she is too old and should have someone to rely on, so she found the man's house with a small belly, and insisted on giving this marriage in front of the man and his old mother. It is said that the man originally had a lover, but because of the arrival of He Xiangu, he directly worshipped.

Nowadays, it is basically difficult for the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the used book market of Caishen Temple to appear here; But this kind of place has always been one after another, if you don't come, he comes, there are still stalls selling old books, but in Lin Yi's eyes, they all look like strangers.

Three or four years have passed, and people can't help but sigh.

Lin Yi looked at things and people, and his heart swelled with unspeakable emotions, after all, he walked out from here, after all, this is the place he used to like to come to the most.

……

The Temple of Wealth is still bustling.

Another weekend, another bazaar.

The stalls are next to each other, selling everything, and the scale is even larger than before. But the stalls selling used books seem to have shrunk a lot. Seeing these strange sellers and stall owners, looking at these few used book stalls, Lin Yi seemed to see the current situation of the used book market.

The resources of used books have tended to be depleted, and now even if you go to the countryside, it is difficult to receive old books from the sixties and seventies. The stock of used books in the 80s is also decreasing, so much so that many used book stalls now sell nothing more than books from the 90s and 2,000 years later. However, for many book hunters who like to buy old books, these books are all "new books", and they don't have that old-fashioned taste.

In fact, in the eyes of many book hunters, the "old books" should refer to books without barcodes, which should be books published before 1992, although there are still individual publications without barcodes after 1992, but there are fewer and fewer publications.

Of course, in the eyes of every book lover, there are their own standards for old books, such as whether they are "second-hand books" according to the degree of quality, whether they are "second-hand books", etc., it should be said that there is a certain amount of truth, but the division according to the publication time may be the basis for most people's judgment, just like when it comes to publications in the Republic of China, although they are in good condition, they will also be classified into the category of "old books of the Republic of China".

Lin Yi thinks that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, book publishing can be divided into several important periods or stages, one is the publication from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the pre-Cultural Revolution, and the other is the publication during the Cultural Revolution, especially the various versions of the "Red Book", which has a lot of plastic skin, which directly affects some publications after the Cultural Revolution. Third, the publications after the reform and opening up have been published for 38 years, and it is difficult to say whether they are all called "new books" and how to divide them. It seems that the change in printing methods can be used as a sign, that is, the first newspaper was printed in May 1987 using laser phototypesetting technology as a starting point, which was all lead type printing before, and then gradually realized the laser typesetting as the mainstay, and finally completely eliminated lead type printing publications.

To sum up, Lin Yat's current judgment on old books is that there is no barcode on the first, and the second is printed in lead type, and it can even be said that both are indispensable. Another reference is that there is no film, but it can be appropriately relaxed, because since the mid-80s, there have been many book cover films, and it is a pity that they have given up.

Why buy used books, the reason is simple---

First of all, the figure is cheap. Now the books in Xinhua Bookstore are too expensive, even if some special books are sometimes launched, it is very good to be able to sell them at half price, or in the second-hand book market, the same book and brand new, most of the time it can be won at less than 5% off.

Secondly, the figure is genuine. It can be said that there were very few pirated books before the mid-80s, especially the books of the Cultural Revolution and before basically no pirated copies, and if there were pirated copies after the Cultural Revolution, it was estimated that if someone dared to pirate at that time, they would be imprisoned. It's hard to say about the books after the eighties, there are always some people who want to get rich first by any means, and the "horse running book" was born in this period, and the books are really not as rigorous, serious and strict as before, the most common is pirated martial arts and romance novels.

In the end, it is the figure that is strong. Old books, whether hardcover or paperback, basically have to be locked, even if the "villain book" is older, you have to tie a line, you just look at it hard, you can't scatter it. Unlike the later books, in addition to the hardcover ones, they are relatively strong, and the paperback ones have to live with super glue, and it is impossible to tell whether it is good glue, and sometimes a book falls apart before it is finished, becoming a typical residual book. Old books are old and in weak condition, but there are very few cases where they fall apart when they look at it, and it is an indisputable fact that the probability of "new books" is higher.

……

It is precisely because of these reasons that more and more book hunters continue to join the team of buying used books, on the contrary, those good old books are being searched less and less. As a result, there is a very strange phenomenon, more and more people are buying used books, but fewer and fewer people are selling old books, to be precise, there are fewer and fewer really good old books.

Just as Lin Yi was wandering around the nearby used book stalls, constantly thinking in his mind, he suddenly saw an old man carrying a bag of used books and negotiating the price with a book seller.

Lin Yi has seen a lot of this kind of thing, many times, those older people will cherish their collection of books very much, and will not easily let their families sell them to waste collectors, but put their own bags into this kind of used book market, and sell them directly to those who sell books. First, you can see that your collection of old books has a good home, and even fall into the hands of other book lovers, and secondly, you can sell it for a little more money to replace your old life.

Of course, the most attractive thing at this time is the "confrontation" between the book collectors and these book sellers. Because many times, there will be treasures in these old collections, depending on whether they are missed or eyed when they are received.

Lin Yi is also a very curious person, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but walk over. (To be continued.) )
