Dong Tianyue listened carefully, and when he spoke energetically, he pulled out his throat and continued: "Well, I'll tell you about the value of the celebrity codex."

I remember that in 2009, in the rare book special session of China Guardian's 2009 Spring Auction, 'Hu Shicun's Friends and Friends', including Chen Duxiu, Liang Qichao, Xu Zhimo, etc., sent poems and letters to Hu Shi, sold for a total of 7.448 million yuan!

In fact, as early as 6 years ago, Zhang Tielin bought the 39 codex of Zhao Zhiqian's "The Continuation of the Inheritance of Sinologists in the National Dynasty" at a price of 2.25 million yuan at the spring auction in Jianghai. At that time, many people thought that Zhang Tielin was not 'too second'. Who knew that only by the autumn auction of that year, the price of Zhao Zhiqian's codex had doubled!

You say he's not two? ”

"Fuji, it's so discerning!" Dong Tianyue praised. He was a little frightened, he didn't think that these hawkers had any real talents, but he didn't expect to really underestimate them. Listening to stories in the antique market and learning from my grandfather is a completely different feeling.

Dong Tianyue secretly shouted hello, listened energetically, bent over again, and put cigarettes on the two.

"It's not a matter of a year or two since Bill Gates bought the 72-page Hammer Manuscript for $30.8 million in 1994, and I've guessed that celebrity manuscripts, codexes or something might be popular!" Gao lit the cigarette handed by Dong Tianyue, took a deep breath, and his expression was a little pretended to be deep.

"Cut, look at you! There are even earlier! In 1987, at the Sotheby's auction in New York, Einstein's letter to former US President Roosevelt about the atomic bomb was auctioned for $220,000! If you knew this was the case, then why didn't you stock up on the next batch of famous manuscripts and codexes at that time? I remember that the Codex was also very cheap back then, and it was quite a big deal! The big belly couldn't help but sarcastically.

"Okay, fat man, you know all this? Hmph, good fat old man, don't expose my shortcomings. Who hasn't been in the antique industry! If I had really done this, I would still be here to set up a stall with you, Lao Tzu would have opened this Bao Zhai and that Bao Xuan earlier! The tall man said with white eyes and a big belly.

This time, Dong Tianyue was not pretending to be confused, and asked: "The Hammer Manuscript?" But Leonardo da Vinci's 72-page Hammer Manuscript, written during his time in Milan? ”

The tall man and the big belly glanced at each other, but they were surprised, they didn't expect Dong Tianyue to know so clearly? They didn't know that the Hammer Manuscript was written by Leonardo da Vinci in Milan!

"Hehe, I majored in art in college, da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael are known as the three masters of the Italian Renaissance, I know a little about da Vinci."

Before, Dong Tianyue had been pretending to be a little white, but he had to find something suitable to say, otherwise it wouldn't be interesting, would it? The two hawkers were naturally shocked, and they were relieved to hear that Dong Tianyue was studying art.

Dong Tianyue continued: "Leonardo da Vinci wrote tens of thousands of manuscripts in his lifetime, scattered all over the world. The 72-page Hammer Manuscript, written during his time in Milan, is particularly valuable! Dong Tianyue said, it felt like a different person, and he was stunned by the tall man and the big belly.

Dong Tianyue was secretly happy in his heart, hey, one will pretend to be a white, and the other will pretend to be a master, it's fun!

"Oh, it's not easy! It turns out that the little brother is a college student! Hey, even if I recognize a few more words, it is impossible for me to miss Yan Fu's cursive "Zhuangzi Health Master" back then! In 2011, "Zhuangzi Health Master" started at 120,000 yuan and was sold for 1.265 million yuan! Oh, that's the pain of my life! I don't know any cursive writing, I only think of it as a ghost drawing! At the beginning, if I had read for a few more years, I would have read cursive, and I would have known that Yan Fu would not have passed by "Zhuangzi Health Master"! Gao sighed.

It seems that the tall man is also a lover with a surname, and he has not shied away from the past troubles. In fact, he was deceived by a peer back then. Therefore, he no longer believes in his peers, and he is most afraid that when his peers help you with their palms, they will say that the truth is fake. This is also the direct reason why the big belly jokingly asked Gao if he got the celebrity codex at the beginning, and he didn't tell the truth.

The tall man came to the ghost market to trade fake, he was waiting for the auction results in the "Nine Mountains Hotel" at half past eight in the evening, and he had an authentic handbook of celebrities there to participate in the auction.

Unconsciously, there was a bustle outside the West Gate, and all kinds of vehicles and vendors seemed to have made an appointment and came to come. Then, it didn't take long for the "ghost market" to magically unfold.

The vendors' stalls are ready, and they have started to talk to each other, and there is no need to greet and shout too much to the Tibetan friends who stop in front of their stalls.

At this time, the sky began to glow white. Although Dong Tianyue and Gao Pang chatted very speculatively, they had to pick up the leaks as soon as possible, "the early birds will eat worms", so he had to say goodbye to the two.

In order to express his gratitude and take care of the tall business, Dong Tianyue bought a set of 9 copies of the "Railway Guerrilla" comic book villain before saying goodbye. Because of the lack of a copy, the quality is average, and the chat is very happy, the tall one only charged him 180 yuan.

This book, the original price is 2 cents a book.

And just as Dong Tianyue was about to leave, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a pen holder caught his attention.

In front of the big belly, behind the pile of bottles and jars, behind a mallet bottle and a general's big can, there are two pen holders. The General's Jar is fatter and covers them up. If you don't look at it from a different angle, it's really not easy to see.

"Pencil holder?" Dong Tianyue paused, leaned around and changed the angle, and finally saw the two pen holders clearly.

"There are two pen holders?" Dong Tianyue muttered to himself in his heart.

"Well, the Panasonic Coats pen holder on the left is an old thing." Dong Tianyue saw the old things at a glance with his solid skills. After seeing it clearly, Dong Tianyue didn't dare to slack off, walked to the yellow cloth stall, bent down and wanted to pick it up, who would have thought that a nasty big hand grabbed him to hold the waist of the pen holder first.

Dong Tianyue looked up and met eyes with a handsome guy dressed as a white-collar worker.

"This handsome guy, please let go, I got this tube first." The well-mannered man laughed. He is taller and more handsome than Dong Tianyue, and his short black hair is covered with fragrant hair wax, especially the gold-rimmed glasses set off his gentleness.

"Oh!" Dong Tianyue retracted his hand very depressedly, thinking to himself, he finally seized a chance to pick up the leak, but he was taken first. But he's not a barbarian, since he got it first, let's show it to others first, if this handsome guy doesn't know the goods, it's not too late for me to buy it.

When business came, the big belly hurriedly greeted the customer with a smile. He is very ghostly, seeing Dong Tianyue go and return, did he fall in love with those two pen holders? I saw a polite glasses man who grabbed the pen holder first, and said in his heart: I'm afraid the business is about to open!

"Ouch, this little brother, since this tube is the first hand of this white-collar handsome guy, you can wait a minute. You might as well take a look at the three-look thatched house pen holder next to it, which is the work of Pu Zhongqian, everyone in the Qing Dynasty! The big belly stood up and explained to Dong Tianyue.

Obviously, in the big belly's mind, he would prefer the white-collar guy in the white shirt to buy the Panasonic Coats pen holder. Why? Because the big belly thinks that the people who generally dress like this to visit the antique market are either vassals and elegant, or they are sticks, and generally as long as the seller's sycophants shoot well, they are also willing to spend money, and these people are one of the favorite objects of the hawkers! On the contrary, judging from Dong Tianyue's dress, the pot-bellied didn't think he had the money to buy the pen holder. Perhaps, another famous high-imitation pen holder he can buy home to play.

"Hmm." Dong Tianyue didn't have a rut, he just thought that this handsome guy should not buy the Panasonic Coats pen holder. He listlessly picked up the pen holder next to him and looked at it casually, but he was actually quite anxious.

Gao Yi smiled, extinguished his cigarette butt, got up and walked over, patted Dong Tianyue's shoulder and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't be depressed." Antique shops also have rules for antique shops. The most basic thing is the rules to get started. ”

"Oh." Dong Tianyue nodded unnaturally, with a wooden expression that was willing to hear the details.

The tall man pulled Dong Tianyue to sit down on the side of the maza, and said with a smile: "There are also rules for buying things in the antique industry, that is, when a buyer takes the goods he likes in his hands to negotiate with the seller, other buyers who are also interested in this product cannot express any opinions on the side, nor can they participate in the bidding, and should keep an appropriate distance and wait." If the transaction is not completed, the goods can be put back in their original place before they can be negotiated with the seller. ”

Dong Tianyue pretended to suddenly realize, saying that it was fortunate that there was no reckless scramble just now, otherwise it would have been a big one. As he spoke, he sat down opposite Dong Tianyue, wanting to help him palm his eyes and look at the pen holder in his hand.

"Pu Zhongqian's work?" Gao took the work in Dong Tianyue's hand, smiled slightly, and immediately looked at Dong Tianyue and said: "In the antique industry, everyone is only proficient in one or two. A master who is proficient in everything is necessarily a pseudo-master. As for me, I am only proficient in ancient books and rare books, and I am also slightly involved in calligraphy and painting, and I am a layman in bamboo carving. However, my wife is from Chengdu, and I once had the privilege of going to Si. A trip to the Sichuan Museum, I saw the same Sangu thatched house pen holder as this one, and it was also Pu Zhongqian's. ”;
