Lin Yi was full of hope and watched Boss Li take the paper bag wrapped in old books of the Republic of China, and then open it layer by layer under the light. Boss Li deliberately slowed down, as if he was peeling a baby in a swaddling garment, but Boss Li's eyes were full of *, as if he was peeling a beautiful girl.

Cao Yidao knew that Lin Yitao had never liked to be aimless. Since he wanted to see what was inside, there would be treasures in it. After following Lin Yi for so long, if he couldn't figure out Lin Yi's pulse, he would have been in vain.

So Cao Yidao also came to the front, stretched his neck, looked in with his big bald head, and saw what treasures were wrapped in the paper;

Slowly, a stack of old books came out. Looking at the simple and beautiful cover, it must be a book of the Republic of China.

"Look at it slowly, these are all treasures. I don't let you read them easily, so it will be cheaper!" Boss Li spread out the books of the Republic of China very much, like a treasure, proud.

Lin Yi went to read those books. It was correct when he read the Republic of China, but it was messy and did not have the basic new literature of the Republic of China. It was just the life appraisal of Cai Yuanpei in "The Student New Library", (Volume 14); "Outline of Primary Study of Philosophy", written by Matt; "Introduction to the Exegesis of the Exegesis - Small Series of Chinese Studies", etc., from Lin Yi, a picky guy, it seems that it is not very valuable. However, where did the faint fragrance just now come from? Lin Yi was suspicious.

So, with doubts, Lin Yi carefully checked the books of the Republic of China. This time, he found a relatively special one with a paper-cut painting on the cover: some folded letters were flying in the air, a woman with a charming body was red lips like fire, her long hair was flying, and her posture was full of indescribable slutty--

Let’s look at the title of the book, written in red crayons, and a kind of charm is revealed in naughtyness---"Romantic Love Letter".

At this time, the faint fragrance appeared again in the nose, and it was this book.

Lin Yi wanted to read the content and copyright pages of this book carefully, but he was afraid of being alarmed. There was no way. Boss Li was very good at it. As long as he found that you were interested in this book, he would immediately kill you.

Lin Yi, who knew Boss Li's "character", would not do such stupid things rashly, so he pretended to be careless and mixed the book back into the messy books of the Republic of China, saying: "These books are not very good. They are basically Chinese education, arithmetics, philosophy, etc. Although they are books of the Republic of China, they are a little more obscene."

Seeing that Lin Yi was still picky after reading the things, Boss Li said bluntly: "These things are all treasures, and you can't find them now."

Lin Yi was unwilling to argue with him, so he asked, "Then how much did you say?"

Boss Li looked at him, thought for a moment and said, "If you want it all, you will be 100 yuan per book, and if you want it, you will be 300 yuan per book!"

Dizzy, so cruel.

According to Lin Yi's view, it would be good to sell 50 yuan for one copy of the Republic of China, but Boss Li forced to raise 100 yuan. I really don't know if he understands books or doesn't understand books.

...

In fact, as an old book vendor who buys and sells old books, no matter who they are, they know some of the current popular books. Boss Li is no exception. At least he knows one thing that is that books in the Republic of China are "very valuable". For this reason, Boss Li, who has never liked to learn much, went to the Internet cafe and bought 10 yuan for three hours. He found some information and "understand" it in an easy-to-understand manner.

However, the "water" collected in the Republic of China books was too deep, and he could not understand it in three hours after a 10 yuan wallet, so he almost suffocated when he saw it. He was sweating profusely and could not see the reason.

Compared to Boss Li, the sly book vendor, he has collected many versions of Lin Yi from the Republic of China, and has a deep understanding of the Republic of China books.

First of all, he knew that "famous works by famous writers" were a hot topic in the collection of book and magazines in the Republic of China. Among them, literary works by famous writers such as Lu Xun, Lin Yutang, Xu Zhimo, Zhou Zuoren, Zhang Ailing, and Zhang Henshui are the most popular. Due to the influence of political, economic and cultural factors, the number of books printed in the Republic of China has not been very large. It is not an exaggeration to have famous masters who have survived decades of ups and downs, even if they are classified as "rare foundations in modern times".

The collection of old books of the Republic of China involves a very profound "versionary study", which is not something that ordinary people can understand. You should know that in the Republic of China, there will be different versions of the same work of a writer. Since the first version is personally supervised and verified by the author, the quality is high, and it has always been valued by collectors, and its value is also obvious. The first version of famous works is even more precious. For example, "Aimei Xiaozhao" written by Xu Zhimo (first edition of Liangyou Book Printing Company in 1936); "Happy Dance" written by Aying (first edition of Modern Bookstore in 1928); "Ni Huanzhi" written by Ye Shengtao (first edition of Kaiming Bookstore in 1929); "Bing Xin Poetry Collection" written by Xie Bingxin (bei

New Bookstore first edition in 1932); Wang Duqing's "Previous Pictures of the Holy Mother" (Guanghua Bookstore first edition in 1926); Wang Jingzhi's "The Wind of Hui" (Yadong Library first edition in 1922); Lin Yutang's "Linguistics Theory" (Kaiming Bookstore first edition in 1933); Moore and Liu Linsheng's "Utopia" (Commercial Press first edition in 1935); Yu Pingbo's "Yanjiao Collection" (Liangyou Book Printing Company first edition in 1936); Zhang Ailing's "Rutterance" (Shanghai Wuzhou Book Newspaper in 1944) reads;. Finding the first version of these famous works "original" has always been an interesting thing for researchers and collectors.

In addition, books with historical document value are another hot topic in the collection of books and magazines of the Republic of China. Even if the engraving and rough binding are poor, or if the ink marks are poor, the ink marks are unclear, moldy and mortal, and the quality is worrying, it will not affect its possibility of becoming a treasure. For example, the 1926 edition of the "Zhongshan Book" includes: "Outline of the Founding of the National Government", "Constitution", "Three Principles of the People", "The Founding of the People", and "The Founding of the Country", as well as Mr. Sun Yat-sen's speeches, conversations, declarations, telegrams, letters, congratulations, last words, wills, tombs, ink marks and other materials,

Rich is a precious material for studying Sun Yat-sen and the Republic of China society; the complete translation of the "* Manifesto" translated by Chen Wangdao in 1920 was printed in the first edition, and it is said that only a few of these books remain in the country; the Chinese and English version of "The Northbound Record" published by Forman in 1945 has several early pictures, and the historical facts reflected are very objective; the "Peking University Life" published in 1921 contains photos of "Peking University's Architecture and Equipment" and "Peking University's Figures"; the "Mours Record" published in 1925 contains nearly a hundred frames of photos such as Sun Yat-sen's portrait, will, autobiography, illness process, funeral report, etc.

In addition, there are journals in the Republic of China. Their collection value is mainly because they are a true portrayal of the Republic of China era and can reflect the political, economic, cultural and life styles of the Republic of China era from multiple angles. There are many types of journals in the Republic of China era. Some people have counted that in 1936 alone, there were 308 journals published in Shanghai. However, after war and man-made destruction, there were very few remaining. Scarcity is precious. The old journals that were once cold-standed on the streets have now become treasures that the collectors are eager for. For example, in January 1912, Zhonghua Book Company founded in Shanghai and has a history of 29 years of publication.

The monthly magazine of Jiejie; founded in Tokyo, Japan in May 1914, with the English name "Tiger", and was written by the famous scholar and social activist Zhang Shizhao; the opera magazine "Hundred Beautiful Picture" founded in 1927; the "Magazine" that was founded in Shanghai in May 1938, which made Zhang Ailing famous and popular. At the beginning of this century, at an auction in China's bookstores, 50 journals in the Republic of China were sold for 7,000 yuan; Jiade Company followed closely, and 30 old journals were sold for 5,000 yuan, and a "Ten Day Drama" only had 80 volumes, and was sold for 20,000 yuan.

Looking at the "baby" books on the Republic of China brought out by Boss Li now, most of them do not meet the above three collection categories, so Lin Yi was very depressed.

To be precise, Lin Yi's "deep understanding" of calligraphy in the Republic of China and Boss Li's "half-understanding" of calligraphy in the Republic of China. The two's understanding of the value of calligraphy in the Republic of China was not in the same space, so they were confused.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yi decided not to sue this difficult boss Li anymore, and said, "Since you have already told me, I will just pick one, and it won't be considered in vain to come to you, okay?"

Boss Li glanced at him and raised three fingers, "One book, 300 yuan!"

Lin Yi rolled his eyes and didn't say anything, and directly signaled to Cao Yidao. Cao Yidao muttered, "Am I your servant?" But he quickly paid out his pockets, took out three hundred-dollar bills, and handed them to Boss Li.

Boss Li looked carefully at the authenticity of the money. Seeing his stern look, Cao Yidao couldn't help but shout, "What are you looking at? I just took it out of the ATM today, and it's still very warm!"

Lin Yi directly picked the "Romantic Love Letter" from the pile of books on the Republic of China, and then said to Cao Yidao: "Let's go!"

"Hehe, go slowly, I won't give it away!" Boss Li waved goodbye and said to himself, it's really a 2500 yuan. Last time I was slaughtered more than 200 yuan, but I don't have enough memory. This time it's another 300!

In fact, the prices of these old books in the Republic of China were all checked by Boss Li on the Internet. As Lin Yi said, it is worth at most fifty. As for the book that Lin Yi picked up, Boss Li was too lazy to check it out until the end... Besides, these books were picked up for free, and it would definitely make a fortune if you could sell them for 300 yuan.

At this moment, counting the thousand yuan bills earned tonight, Boss Li felt happy and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "A bunch of stupid people!"
Chapter completed!
