Not far away, a platform was built at some point. Huo Ranwen

The platform is very high and majestic, just like the high platform for performing operas.

Several people were busy hanging a banner. They finally hung it up, but they saw a line of big characters written on it, Luoyang comic strip king, and the family's wealth was cleared!

What's the meaning?

Sale comic strips?

Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?

Seeing Lin Yi seemingly puzzled, Wang Changlin was nagging: "See, this time it was the work of a big player. A one-time sale of comic strips that have been collected for more than 20 years."

Lin Yi asked: "Who is this comic strip king in Luoyang?"

When Wang Changlin saw Lin Yi ask this, he looked at him like a rare animal, and suddenly said, "Don't you sell comic strips?"

Lin Yi then remembered that his identity was a "book vendor", so he shook his head and said, "I don't play much."

"No wonder, I haven't even heard of his name." Wang Changlin looked like he was familiar with everything.

Then he carefully told Lin Yi who is the "comic" king of Luoyang City.

If you want to say that this person is surnamed Pei, he is ranked No. 9 in the family, so everyone calls him "Pei Jiu".

Pei Jiu worked in the Publishing Bureau around 1990 and was a small cadre in charge of the warehouse at that time. It happened that comic strips were published in a downturn because children had already started reading Japanese comic cartoon books at that time, and a large number of new and old comic strips were all piled up in the warehouse and could not be sold.

At this time, the publishing house leaders became anxious and wanted to clear out these inventory items so that some of the best-selling martial arts novels and romance novels could be sold. So they called on and mobilized employees to actively find ways to sell these inventory.

At that time, someone even proposed to sell these comic strips to scrap stations, once and for all. Although Pei Jiu was a warehouse-reading person, he was very sensible. He especially liked to drink and chat with some old friends at the old book stall. He also knew a little bit about the market for this villain's books, and thought it was a way to make a fortune.

So he borrowed almost 10,000 yuan from his parents' home, and transported several boxes of old "villain books" from the fifties and sixties stored in Curry to his home at a price lower than the scrap price.

At that time, he didn't realize anything about collection, but just regarded it as a business. When his child was in school or his family was short of money, he took out a few boxes to sell it. At first, he paid five cents a book, but when he saw that there were more people buying, he increased to fifty cents a book. Later, those who were old-fashioned in the 1950s a book were raised to five cents a book.

It was not until this time that Pei Jiu realized that he seemed to be doing something stupid. He felt that things like villain books could not fully demonstrate the charm of the painting itself, or were visually fatigued or tempted by the favor in front of him to see the future appreciation potential of "villain books", or he still naively thought that after selling them, he could easily buy them back.

As his price for selling villain books became higher and higher, and there were people who were willing to ask for it, he realized that this kind of thing was even more appreciated than stocks. At that time, people were crazy about stock trading, and only Pei Jiu began to speculate on comic strips.

Not only did he no longer sell the hundreds of old versions of the villain books he had left, he instead began to acquire the villain books from other sellers at a high price.

Those colleagues who used to sell books with him all laughed at him for being stupid and had a lot of brains. The ones you sold for five yuan in the past are now bought for ten yuan. For example, Mr. Dongguo, such as the chicken letter, and the three-book-one-piece line-up changes...

Pei Jiu became a "fool" and was laughed at by people as "Pei Fool". Those who bought his villain's books came back and sold the books back to him at a high price. Pei Jiule was so stupid that he was even more stupid.

It was not until 2000 that when the price of villain books really exploded, people really understood who the fool was!

The 1950s and 1960s, the old version

Mr. Dongguo has 20,000 yuan per book.

A huge change in the mountain village is 60,000 yuan.

A chicken feather letter costs 130,000 yuan per book.

...

Pei Jiu became famous overnight, no longer "Pei Jiu" or "Pei Fool", but became "Pei Jiuye" and became the veritable "comic king". It is said that his collection of comic strips is no less than 50,000, and the volumes are fine, especially the 6,000 books of old villains in the 1956s. All of these villains are worth hundreds of millions.

With these villain books at hand, Pei Jiu was very cautious in buying low and selling high, and manipulating the market for Luoyang villain books trading like playing stocks. Some people say that as long as Jiu Ye coughs, Luoyang's comic strip trading indicators will drop by three times.

...

Seeing that Wang Changlin boasted about this "Pei Jiuye" so amazing, Lin Yi smiled and said, since he is so powerful, how could he have to clear his mind and throw away all his collections?

Wang Changlin smiled and said, "You don't understand this." First, the comic strip market has reached a bottleneck now. It's not that players don't know that it's too angry, it's a bit weak. Jiu Ye is an old speculator, and of course he understands this. It can even be said that many comic strips are priced by his old man. For example, the chicken feather letter was collected all over the country, no matter how much it costs. It was not until he bought all the old versions and stocked up, and made a splash at the auction, and sold them at a sky-high price of 130,000. Who knows how many such villain books there are in his warehouse. The price is really too weak.

So, if you can play with books, don’t jump into the pit of villain books now.

This was Wang Changlin's reminder to Lin Yi, but Lin Yi could only smile. What he thought of was his old friend Guo Zixing, who had no idea how many such villain books he had hidden at hand, and he didn't know what would happen in the future.

Then Wang Changlin said again that Pei Jiuye didn't plan to sell these collections, after all, he had been hiding for more than 20 years, but it was too easy to make money by buying and selling villain books. He relied on this to live in a villa, drove a luxury car, and heard that he had a little wife outside... In short, he had everything this man should have, and he also enjoyed everything he should enjoy. As long as he was short of money, he could just throw the collection at hand. Think about it, a chicken feather letter cost more than 100,000 yuan, and just take out ten books for millions...

As the saying goes, the easier it is to make this money, the faster it will be. Even if the Jiu Ye has more goods, it cannot withstand the troubles of their family. Especially the Jiu Ye’s two sons, who are famous young men in Luoyang City, are all good at eating, drinking, gamblers and gambling. If they have no money, they will come out from his warehouse and put them on the gambling table. They will be chips and put on the wine table. They will be money.

There is always a limit to eating up the mountain. Now that his original collection of hundreds of millions has been almost tossed, the old man also figured it out. Instead of being sneakily taken away by his two incompetent sons, it would be better to sell them all by himself and then take the money to make a long-term business, which can be considered as supporting this company.

Lin Yi realized after hearing this. It turned out that the reason why this Ninth Master "cleared his family's background" was a forced one. It was said that guarding against thieves day and night was difficult to guard against. It was probably his two sons had also made him suffer.

However, Lin Yi immediately had another question. Why didn’t Master Jiu take his collection to the auction house to auction, but he wanted to do a "big clearance" here, which doesn’t look so high-end.

When Wang Changlin heard Lin Yi's words, he smiled and said, "You are an outsider or really an outsider."

First of all, you need to pay a deposit to go to the auction, and you have to pay a commission to the end of the auction. This is a lot of money. In addition, if you auction a large amount of money, you may be targeted by some people. Only those fools who have no way to show off will take it to auction. Secondly, Jiu Ye has been playing comic strips for so many years and is praised by everyone as the "comic king". His name is not fake. He basically has information about big players from all over the country. He doesn't need to use the auction house to sell all the inventory at the fastest speed. Finally, this is also the rule of playing comic strips. If an old player wants to clear his position, new and old players must come and support him. This is the morality of the martial arts world, and it is also to play with each other and get a share of the pie. In the future, who may not be able to continue playing, and he will never be held in his hands and cannot be sold.

After hearing Wang Changlin's words, Lin Yi realized that the water in the comic strip was so deep. I don't know if Lao Guo, who was playing comic strips, was invited here.

Just as Lin Yi was thinking, a voice shouted: "Lin Yi, Brother Lin, I'm here!"

Lin Yi looked up and said, "Damn, Cao Cao is here, who else would be Guo Zixing if he is not Guo Zixing? To be continued.
