Pay the bill, load the goods and leave.

After negotiating with Minister Wang, Lin Yi called to call a car to come over and load the goods.

Over there, Wang Heizi, Dong Glasses and others were cheering and celebrating, opening their arms, shyly stomachs, opening beer, bubbling, and drinking down their necks.

Then, they were dumbfounded, and they all looked at Lin Yi stupidly, only to see Lin Yi take out a sack of the Republic of China book.

What's going on?

Did he buy them all?!

Gluttony, envy, jealousy.

The price of 130,000 frightened them early, but they didn't expect Lin Yi to take them all, what does this mean, it shows that people are not bad at money, and they are no longer at the same level as themselves.

At that moment, they suddenly felt that the beer they had just drunk was bitter, bitter.

Once upon a time, Lin Yi was just a book shopper who patronized their used book stalls, and once upon a time, he didn't even have the money to buy used books.

But now, everyone found that Lin Yi had completely distanced himself from them, and the distance was so far away, they were people who shouted loudly to drink and celebrate when they had a small gain, at this moment, they could only look at his back, pitiful, like a frog squatting in a well to "hi skin"-

……

Loaded with a car full of books of the Republic of China, Lin Yi returned to the old book warehouse he rented, which was just downstairs in the apartment he rented, which was originally a large garage, Lin Yi didn't have a car, and he was in a hurry to find a suitable warehouse for these books and rented it. Unexpectedly, the original 60,000 books became 2,600 volumes, which made him spend a lot of money renting a warehouse.

But it doesn't matter, Lin Yi was very happy at this time, and he didn't care about the extra three or four thousand yuan.

When the truck driver wanted to help Lin Yi carry the sacks of books, Lin Yi said that he could do it himself, and there was no need to trouble the master's eldest brother.

The driver felt that this kind of customer was good, and he had met it before, and there was no one who didn't want him to make more effort, as if he rented his car, and his people also rented it out. But who knew that Lin Yi felt sorry for the books in those sacks, and was afraid that he would ruin the books too roughly, so he did it himself and didn't let others interfere.

There are 2,600 books, as many as twenty-eight sacks, Lin Yi carried them down one sack after another, put them in his warehouse, and after a few trips, the whole person was almost exhausted.

The driver, who was smoking a cigarette on the side, was a little embarrassed to be idle, so he put out the cigarette and helped him carry it.

Lin Yi was so tired that he no longer refused his master's kindness.

……

In the warehouse, Lin Yi had already sent off the truck driver, and he was eating instant noodles in a big gulp at the moment, he was so hungry.

After eating the noodles, he began to eagerly sort out those Republic of China books.

2,600 copies, that's a lot.

However, for Lin Yi, the more the merrier, so that the treasure can be discovered.

After some simple sorting, Lin Yi first picked out some books of the Republic of China that were of little value, most of them were the "Chinese Studies Series" series and the "Wanyou Library" series.

These two major sets of books are compilations of cultural and academic aspects during the Republic of China, especially the "Wanyou Library" series, with a total of 1,721 titles and 4,000 volumes, typeset and photocopied by the Commercial Press from 1929 to 1937. There are two episodes in total, the content is broad and profound, involving all aspects, economic, political and cultural and even archaeology, so according to the different contents, the value of each book is also different, for example, the "Tao Shuo" in the Wanyou Library series is more expensive, and the general poetry is cheaper.

In short, "Wanyou Library" can be called the most influential large-scale modern book series in the first half of the 20th century, and it was planned and organized by Mr. Wang Yunwu. He wrote this masterpiece with the aim of "making it possible for any individual or family, or even a newly established library, to establish its basic collection in the most economical and systematic way". Mr. Wang's ambition, praised by the New York Times as "a book, not a bullet for a suffering China", was a remarkable initiative at a time when war was raging, and it was "the most ambitious effort to define and disseminate knowledge" in those days.

Lin Yi admires this kind of person very much, but at the moment, what he needs is more new literature of the Republic of China, not this kind of book series.

The god of luck likes to patronize those who have the courage to gamble, and when Lin Yi flipped through these books, he finally found some excellent books, that is, the hardcover "Liangyou Literature Series".

Different from the Wanyou Library and the Chinese Studies Knowledge Series, the Liangyou Literature Series is an authentic modern Chinese literature series.

This set of books is edited by Zhao Jiabi. From January 1933 ~ June 1937, it was published by Shanghai Liangyou Book Company. It mainly includes works by left-wing and progressive writers, but also works by writers of other schools. Novels are the majority, and they are both prose and literary treatises. For example, Ba Jin's "Fog", "Rain", "Electricity", Zhang Tianyi's "One Year", Lao She's "Divorce", Xie Bingying's "Autobiography of a Female Soldier", Wang Tongzhao's "Spring Flower" and other Chinese and long novels; He Jiahuai's "Ambiguous", Shi Yucun's "Good Women's Behavior", Lao She's "Rushing to the Market", Ling Shuhua's "Little Brothers", Ye Shengtao's "Four Three Episodes", Zheng Boqi's "Lighter", Mao Dun's "Smoke Gathering", Lu Yan's "Riverside" and other short story collections; Zheng Zhenduo's "Ou Xing Diary", Mao Dun's "Chatterbox", Feng Zikai's "Carriage Society", Yu Pingbo's "Yanjiao Collection" and other essay collections; Zhu Guangqian's "Meng Shiwen Banknotes" and other literary and artistic collections; There are also a number of translations. There are 44 types in total.

In the current hyped "New Literature Fever of the Republic of China", this series of books is the most popular edition, especially the rare hardcover edition, and it is a rare book treasure coveted by countless bookshelves.

Lin Yi didn't know about the others, but some of the market prices that had been auctioned off recently were extremely clear.

Zheng Boqi's "Lighter", first edition, nine products, with protective cover, 2800 yuan;

He Jiahuai's "Ambiguous", the first version, eight or five products, lack of protective seal, 2500 yuan;

Feng Zikai's "Carriage Society", first edition, 85 products, lack of protective seal, 2400 yuan;

Especially Yu Pingbo's "Yanjiao Collection", the first edition, nine products, is as high as 10,300 yuan.

……

That is to say, in these hardcover good friends series, such as Lao She, Ba Jin, Contradiction, etc., such famous artists as ordinary people know, the works written by ordinary people have the lowest prices, such as "Divorce", "Catch the Set", "Four or Three Episodes", etc., which are only about 1500-2000 yuan;

And more special writers such as Yu Pingbo, Feng Zikai, Wang Tongzhao, Lu Yan, etc., their masterpieces have amazing prices, especially Yu Pingbo's new literary works, almost everything is known as a rare book among rare books, so in the new literature collection, it is definitely a very honorable thing to be able to collect the works of Master Yu Pingbo.

Fortunately, Lin Yi sorted out this set of Liangyou Literature Series, and there really was Yu Pingbo's "Yanjiao Collection", that is to say, this book alone is in such good condition, with a protective seal, with protective paper, in addition to a seal, a full nine products, its value can be tens of thousands.

After a closer look, in addition to the lack of four "extra-large" Liangyou hardcovers, and one of Mu Shiying's "Black Peony", this hardcover Liangyou book series Lin Yi actually has 39 copies, that is to say, as long as Lin Yi makes more efforts to match the five books that are missing, then he will have a large set of Liangyou hardcover literature series - remember clearly, at the website auction a year ago, such a set of books was auctioned at a sky-high price of 680,000 yuan, which is eight times higher than the price required for a separate set.

However, it seems that the four "king" editions are extremely difficult to find, and the price is high, one is almost tens of thousands, and the "Black Peony" can be matched, and if it is in good condition, it will also cost seven or eight thousand.

Lin Yi was inexplicably excited, the previous new literature "Shima's Poems" was nearly 300,000, and now as long as he spends some effort to match the Liangyou series, it will be 680,000 again, and the sum of these two items alone is almost 1 million, needless to say, this deal is a big deal!

……

Because there are so many books.

Lin Yi had no choice but to keep sorting out and registering.

On the first day, a total of more than 300 new literature of the Republic of China and 400 general books of the Republic of China were sorted out;

On the second day, a total of more than 400 new literature of the Republic of China and 500 general books of the Republic of China were sorted out;

On the third day, a total of more than 400 new literature of the Republic of China and 600 general books of the Republic of China were sorted out.

Finally, in total, there are 1,500 general Republic of China books and 1,100 new literature of the Republic of China.

There are a total of 1,500 books of the Republic of China, such as "Guowen Series" and "Wanyou Library", each of which is calculated according to more than 60 yuan, and the total price is about 100,000 yuan.

In terms of new literature of the Republic of China, according to the price trend of today's used book market, except for the "Poems of Shima" and 39 hardcover books of Liangyou, the rest of the new literature of the Republic of China is almost 1000 yuan a piece, so 1060 copies can be sold for about 1.06 million, if you add the line-bound "Shima's Poems" and 39 hardcover Liangyou, then the price is as high as 2.06 million.

In other words, the total value of this batch of Republic of China books collected by Lin Yi will be as high as more than 2 million according to the current price market.

However, this is not the most important thing, the main thing is that the current new literature of the Republic of China is basically equivalent to stocks, and it is still skyrocketing at a rate of 30% every year, according to this rate, after a year, 2 million will become 2.6 million, two years later, 3.38 million, three years later, 4.39 million-

……

Lin Yi is not the kind of person who is anxious, he knows that the price of these books is still rising now, so he is even less in a hurry to sell.

It's just that he doesn't make a move on his side, which doesn't mean that others don't help him publicize.

So it didn't take long for the news that Lin Yi spent 100,000 yuan to buy a large number of Republic of China books spread throughout the Nandu used book circle.

There is no doubt that Lin Yi's newly leased warehouse has become a sightseeing spot for many used book lovers, Cao Yidao, Guo Zixing, and even Director Sun have come.

For Lin Yi to receive so many good books all of a sudden, countless people envied the drool, when they learned that the market price of these books was almost as high as 2 million, this saliva flowed even more.

Vignette -

The ace of the nine kings who likes to play cards is playing mahjong with friends in the circle one day, these days he has his eyebrows fluttering, his pockets are bulging, he has eaten a lot of money in 100,000, he feels that he has taken a big advantage, and he accidentally heard that Lin Yi received a book from him worth 2 million, and then he fainted on the card table.
