Chapter 93. Big leak 'Mao Selected'
When Lin Yi saw it clearly, he saw that the group of people was following a big bald man, and the bald man was undoubtedly Cao Yidao. Cao Yidao was holding a thick, very old dark red book in his right hand, and was walking towards Lin Yi happily.
There is no doubt that he bought good things to announce to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi smiled and asked him, "What book should I buy? Let me see."
Cao Yidao was originally here to look for him. When he heard this, he handed Lin Yi the thick red book in his hand, "Let me take a look, this is what I just bought!" His face was full of hope.
Lin Yi took the book and immediately burst out when he saw the title of the book. He was a little dizzy. Isn’t this the Dalian Volkswagen version of "Selected Works of Mao Ze-Dong" that cost tens of thousands of yuan that he read on the "Old Book Network" last night? He quickly turned to the copyright page and saw that it was three editions, with a print count of five thousand. There was also a long errata attached to the book.
After reading the book, Lin Yi was amused and crying. He unexpectedly, Lao Cao would have been hit by such a big pie.
...
You should know that the red collection is now popular, especially as the main force in the red collection, Taizu's "Selected Mao" is the first to be hit. The price continues to rise and then rise, and it is faster than the Rockets. However, the water in "Selected Mao" is deeper, there are too many versions, and there are even fakes. For example, the version of "Selected Mao" in the Republic of China is mostly high-quality and precious.
In May 1944, the Jinchaji Daily compiled and published the first "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-Dong". The book was hosted and edited by the Jinchaji Daily. It contains 29 works by Taizu, about 400,000 words, and is divided into two versions of 5 volume paperback and 5 volume combined hardcover, with 2,500 copies each printed. It is a super high-quality product. In 2008, the paperback was sold at a price of 230,000 yuan.
In July 1945, the Party Committee of Suzhong District published the second "Selected Mao" in the reed marsh. The "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-dong" by Suzhong Publishing House did not have a "publishing description" or "editor's words". Shortly after the first volume of the book was published, Japan surrendered and the publishing house adjusted it. The "Selected Works of Mao, which was originally planned to be published in 4 volumes, stopped publishing after one volume was released. Therefore, this version is relatively rare.
Since 1946, Hong Kong New Democratic Press has successively published a set of "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-dong" in the form of a single book. The cover design of the series is unified, with "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-dong" printed on the top of the cover, and the title of the article is vertically printed in the middle of the cover, and the five-pointed star pattern is also printed in the middle of the title. The cover is made of colored paper of different colors to show the difference. This is unique among the many "Selected Works of Mao" before the founding of the People's Republic of China and has high collection value.
In April 1946, Dalian Dazhong Bookstore published the earliest "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-dong" in the Northeast region. It was added and deleted based on the "Selected Works of Mao" by the Jin-Cha-Hebei Daily. Even the "Editor's Words" were compressed and copied, adding three articles, with a total of 32 articles, 911 pages, and nearly 500,000 words. In August 1946, the 5-volume combined version of "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-dong" was published.
And the book "Selected Mao" that Lin Yi got in front of him is the Dalian Volkswagen version!
...
Just when Lin Yi was reading this Maoxuan, Lao Cao had already started to blow up the story of his obtaining this book.
It turned out that after breaking up with Lin Yi at the Antique City, Cao Yidao took a few turns and bought nothing. Just when he thought the treasure hunt ended with no harvest, at this moment, a disabled person kneeling in a small car, with a broken leg, and sang "Wet Love" with a loudspeaker and slid over.
Lao Cao was very sensible, mainly because he saw that the disabled man had a big bald head. When he saw him, Lao Cao suddenly became more emotional and thought to himself, if he would be like this one day, he would skateboard and his wife and children would all run away, it would be so miserable. He didn't care whether the other party was doing a show, so he stuffed 100 yuan directly, causing the disabled man to keep kowtowing and thanking for the rewards. The people around him looked at him with strange eyes, and Lao Cao was satisfied.
After doing good things, he seemed to have good luck. Lao Cao was standing by the roadside and was thinking about it. He felt the wonderful feeling of doing good things. A female stall owner who often sold fake antiques here pushed a bicycle and carried a sack of fake goods to be sold to Cao Yidao and placed the sack underground casually.
When Cao Yidao saw this scene, he immediately looked like a dog foraging. Without the owner's instructions, he consciously sniffed the smell to help the female stall owner untie the rope tied to the sack mouth, and reached out one by one and slowly pulled out the fake goods.
At this time, the "Huangfu Erqiu" who often likes to buy junk goods at the Temple of Fortune, when he saw a new stall owner setting up a stall, he also rushed over. When the other "bookworms" saw that the female stall owner who changed the soup and didn't change the medicine and kept selling those fake antiques, he didn't come with him.
At this time, "Huangfu Erqiu" followed Cao Yidao to pick up the fake goods in his bag. After a while, he took out the Dalian public version of "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-dong" and started reading it seriously. After reading it for a long time, he could not see that Wu-Ze-you came. He looked down at Cao Yidao with the anxiety and despair that emanated from his little eyes. He also looked at him eagerly with the eyes that tried to grab a ray of dawn before dawn, waiting pitifully for him to give him this book "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-dong" that he hadn't figured out yet and didn't take it seriously.
Seeing this, Huangfu Erqiu was posing as a savior, and he gave this golden treasure "Selected Works of Mao Ze-Dong" that many "bookworms" dreamed of was confused and easily handed it to Cao Yidao who stretched his neck and stared at him waiting there.
I don’t know whether Huangfu Erqiu thought that the female stall owner who sold fake antiques knew that the book must be expensive, or he really didn’t know the real value of this book “Selected Works of Mao Ze-dong”, but he gave up anyway.
Cao Yidao took "Treasure" in his hand, looked through the copyright page, and then took a simple look at whether there was a lack of page. He was calm on the surface, but his heart was beating wildly in his heart, asking the female stall owner who had sold fake antiques for life, miraculously made a real "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-dong" and said, "How do you sell this book "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-dong?"
"I don't know, I haven't sold it before, please give me a price." The female stall owner kicked the problem back to Cao Yidao.
"I'll give you 100 yuan." Cao Yidao was half-joking, half-feeling his way across the river to test the female stall owner's mood about this book "Selected Works of Mao Ze-dong".
"100 yuan is too little. This is a book of the Republic of China, and it is Mao's choice. It's worth 300 yuan, right?" As soon as the female stall owner said this "tiger" word, Cao Yidao was so shocked that he couldn't pull the shit that he had in his trouser pocket because he got up early and had not had time to pull out the shit in his trouser pocket. He was so surprised that he didn't believe his ears anymore. Before he could recover, he said to himself in fear: "300 yuan!"
The female stall owner thought he thought books were expensive, so he argued: "This old book is Mao's choice, and 300 yuan is not worth it."
At this moment, Cao Yidao finally heard it clearly. Then he woke up and hurriedly took out 300 yuan from his pocket and quickly handed it to the female stall owner who specialized in fake antiques. He took the Dalian Volkswagen version of "Mao Selection" and began to parade in a stern manner.
...
Although he knew about this leak, Cao Yidao didn't know how big the " leak" was. The reason was that he didn't play Maoxuan very much. He thought that this kind of book was too deep and had too many versions, and the ones he had most contacts were from the 1950s and 1960s. However, it seems that Maoxuan, which was printed in the 1950s, is almost a few thousand years old now, and this version of the Republic of China should be very valuable.
Lao Cao didn't know the value of the Mao election in the Republic of China, so Lin Yi was different. Cao Yidao treated him like a god. In Lao Cao's eyes, Lin Yi was simply the ancestor of "picking up bargains" and "Taobao". So when Lin Yi finished reading the book, he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, is this book valuable?"
Lin Yi returned the book to him and joked: "You are also a book lover, and you even asked me."
"We have a different level. I want to hear more of your opinions." Cao Yidao looked at Lin Yi longingly, looking hungry.
Listening to Cao Yidao's advice, everyone around him stretched their necks and looked at Lin Yi with a long eye, waiting for him to speak, as if Lin Yi was a "treasure appraisal expert".
Lin Yi smiled, then patted Lao Cao on the shoulder and said half-jokingly: "Congratulations, this book can make you drink Hu La Soup for eight years!"
When Lao Cao heard this, he turned his fingers and even if a bowl of Hu La Soup costs 5 yuan, 365 days a year, eight years will be--
"Damn, it's about 15,000?"
"It's not that it's about the same, but it's certain!" Lin Yi stopped teasing him, "I read the auction record of last night's book. The first version of this book is very broken, and it's over 23,000 yuan. Judging from the appearance, your third version of this book can be at least tens of thousands."
Who is Lin Yi? In the old book circle, his words are "golden and jade words". At least Cao Yidao knew that Lin Yi had never missed the valuation of old books. If he said tens of thousands, he would definitely have tens of thousands.
Old Cao was so excited that he was almost crazy, and almost screamed. You know, he had never picked up such a big "leak" except for Lin Yi for so many years.
To put it bluntly, Lao Cao was a real second-hand dealer. He went in and out with his left hand and went out with his right hand, and bought books, and specifically earned the difference. He did not have a very impressive glorious history in picking up bargains. The biggest "leakage" was three years ago when he spent 100 yuan to buy a secretary engraved by Jinda's secretary in the Jigu Pavilion during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty. He was not afraid of the word "Xuan". He took Jinda's original version of the secretary, and finally sold it for 8,250 yuan, which was a small profit, but compared with this, that leak was too young.
At this time, Guo Zixing, who had parted ways with them before, got out of somewhere. Old Guo took the Dalian Volkswagen version of "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-Dong" from Cao Yidao and watched it again and again, and then reluctantly handed it back to Cao Yidao.
Although Guo Zixing only plays comic strips, he also knows that this kind of Mao Zedong's choice is very valuable. Especially in recent years, all the collections related to the "Chairman" have appreciated significantly. Some of the rare comic strips he has collected have all of them. Not long ago, he only picked up more than 5,000 leaks, but Lao Cao picked up 15,000 yuan at once. It is so annoying that people are so popular that Guo Zixing can't help but shout: "God, you are too biased! He threw down such a big piece of pie and hit the head of this bitch Cao bald man!"
In this way, Guo Zixing joined the team wandering behind Cao Yidao's butt as if he had lost his soul. After a while, he took the Dalian Volkswagen version of Mao Ze-Dong's Selected Works in Lao Cao's hand and took a look at it, as if only in this way can he relieve the sad jealousy in his heart, and the uncomfortable feeling in his body will feel better.
Lin Yi, as the ancestor of picking up bargains, didn't really take this little miss in his eyes, so he still kept his hands behind his back, smiled, and continued his book hunting journey in vain. For him, this old book market is a vast ocean. As long as you pay attention, you will definitely be able to catch the "big fish" that belongs to you.
...
Of course, some people pick up treasures, and some people leave. For example, the female stall owner selling fake goods is now arguing with a male stall owner who is also setting up a stall there because he occupies a place.
I heard the male stall owner shouting unreasonably: "You can't bear to take up your useless place. You just do the thing about throwing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds. Look, your fake antiques are just the real "Selected Works of Mao-Ze-Dong", and you even sell them as fake ones for a bargain price!"
