Chapter 127. Prohibited Book "One Piece"
After having a buffet at the hotel, you have to set off, go to the Luohu Entry Office, and go directly to the procedures to enter Hong Kong.
Before this, Lin Yi sent some books he bought in Shenzhen, such as "The Wizard of Oz", "Mingrongtang Water Margin" and "Li Zicheng", back to Nandu in packing and mailing. The first one is too heavy and the second is troublesome, especially passing the customs is very troublesome.
Lin Yi only brought two things, one was the manuscript of Wang Duo's poem that needed to be appraised in Hong Kong, and the other was a letter written by Yao Xueying to Hong Kong writer Liu Yi-hwan.
Both of these things are easy to carry and pass through customs. I heard that the customs of the Hong Kong and Macao Immigration Department are very strict, especially the inspection of books is very strict. Any pirated, illegal, and prohibited can be detected.
In fact, Lin Yi was a little worried about Mr. Yue Hanyue, and whether his full book "Jin Ping Mei" could pass. After all, the full book has not been deleted in many details. It really takes great courage to bring such a book to Hong Kong.
Master Yue, come on!
...
Lin Yi had never gone far before and was both curious and unfamiliar with this. Fortunately, Su Xue, the female team leader, took the lead, Lin Yi just followed behind his butt to move his luggage and maintain order, just like a sheep, mainly looking at the three old men, so that they should not be lost.
In fact, Lin Yi is not unfamiliar with the name "Luohu". Many years ago, Hong Kong was like a "paragraph" in the hearts of mainlanders, and Luohu became the entrance to "paragraph".
Lin Yi’s impression of this paradise entrance comes from those pirated CDs and videotapes. Many old Hong Kong police and gangster films have talked about how to go from Luohu to Hong Kong and then go to a new life.
The entry office was very lively and crowded, with human heads everywhere. Lin Yi suspected that if he threw a piece of brick casually, he would have knocked four or five out of them.
Looking at the passage again, it was densely packed like a big maze for children to play with. I didn’t know which one to walk.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi was glad that he followed the right organization and had a good team leader like Su Xue. He didn't have to bump around like those headless worms in this densely packed entry area.
So, after falling behind the team, Lin Yi followed with peace of mind.
Let's go... Why is this place a little familiar? It seems that I have already walked it just now.
Let's go, hey, why are you back? Isn't this the trash can I throw away the mineral water just now? The chewing gum that Mr. Xu stuck on is still...
Lin Yi was a little confused. The three masters were even more confused than him. They were white hair and had a lot of age. They were used to being pampered at home. They had never suffered such a crime. They were led around. They didn't know when they were about to walk. The stomach hurts and chest tightness was hard to bear - the air quality here was not good, and the smell of sweat emanated from people everywhere, so sour that their noses were almost crooked.
What’s even more pitiful is Young Master Xu, holding three suitcases in both hands, sweating and panting. Since he recognized Lin Yi as his elder brother, he has enjoyed the “welfare benefits” of moving more luggage.
Seeing that he looked embarrassed, Lin Yi walked over with a smile. Master Xu thought he was conscientious and was about to share some luggage for the newly worshiped boss. However, Lin Yi did not have any sense of helping others and walked up to him and said, "Do you still have the gum you just ate?"
Mr. Xu: “…”
...
At this time, everyone knew that Su Xue, who was blushing and sweating, was all red. This beauty must have never been to Hong Kong, and even didn't know where the gate of the Hong Kong and Macao Entry Office was. Everyone walked around the hall so casually, completely touching the elephant by blind people.
When things come, you can’t blame anyone, and solving the problem is the key.
Ask each other, who is familiar with this place, but it turns out that it is all "Xiaobai". No one knows how to go or how to do it.
Lin Yi was so dizzy. Is this still the original "elite team"? This is completely a "blind group".
Even Xu Tianyou, known as the "Big Girl", has never left Nandu much. He has been to Shanghai, Nanjing, and Qingdao at the farthest, but has never been to Hong Kong.
The three great-level old men also ran around the mainland provinces and participated in various exchange activities. It is definitely the first time that Hong Kong has come.
Not to mention Su Xue, except for traveling far away when she was in college, she was assigned to a TV station as soon as she graduated from college and became a reporter for local stations. Local station reporters are different from those satellite TV stations, and they are wandering around Nandu all year round.
Agent Xiong and his mp2...ah, it's better not to say it.
Therefore, the entire team of more than a dozen people are actually natives born in Nandu, and they know nothing about how to go to Hong Kong.
Now that things have come to this point, I can’t see any signs nearby, so I can only rely on my mouth. Lin Yi remembers clearly that it says in the book: Travel all over the world with one mouth - if you don’t understand, ask.
So the big guy twisted into a hemp rope, rushed left and right in the abortion of people who were you and I, and finally broke out into a bloody path and entered the narrow and low stairway passage. There was still no guidance signs, so he had to inquire and walk. Finally, he found a passage for entry and exit, and entered the abortion of people from mainland residents, and his body and body were once again close together.
Fellow countrymen, these are fellow countrymen, not only are blood connected, but also body connected together.
The crowd was slowly moving, diversion, queued up, and checked out. Lin Yi followed the team tightly. In front was a photography team led by Su Xue, in the middle was an mp2 combination of agent Xiong and a group of hugging, behind were three masters of god-level men, and behind was Xu Dashao who was struggling with his luggage. A group of people lined up in a long snake formation waiting for the customs personnel to inspect.
...
Lin Yi didn’t know why so many people went to Hong Kong. Looking around, they all had dense heads, big heads, small heads, round heads, flat heads, and shiny bald heads... The crowds were almost in the Spring Festival travel rush.
Could it be that Hong Kong is really a paradise?
Just when Lin Yi was confused, the checkpoint here was finally completed. Lin Yi thought it would be better to leave the mainland customs, but he didn't expect that the Hong Kong customs would be more crowded--people slowly moved in the paper pin-shaped iron fence, and after walking for a long time, they returned to their original position. The only difference is that their bodies changed from one side of the same fence to the other.
There was a leaking roof, which kept flowing down. There were several plastic containers below. Then, the two fences could not leave, making the other fences even more crowded. Once people entered the iron fence, they could only move in one direction and never return. Floods could still be dealt with. If a fire, explosion or other accident occurs at this time, people could only wait to die, and the entrance to "heaven" instantly became the entrance to hell.
But no matter what, Lin Yi could still feel that the team ahead was moving forward. Although the speed was very slow and not much faster than the turtle, he was moving forward after all. As long as he walked forward, he would always be on the test.
In fact, the inspection in Hong Kong is not strict, which means it is easy for you to go through, but when you come back, you will increase your efforts to check "shuikes" to see if you bring milk powder, medicines, prohibited items, etc.
But occasionally, there are a few unlucky people who are found before entering Hong Kong, and some illegal things are found. For example, the sun hat guy in front is found a large set of comics in his suitcase. Lin Yi stared at it and saw that it was "One Piece".
"One Piece" is also a contraband? Lin Yi doesn't understand.
It seems that the sun hat guy doesn't understand, and he looks puzzled.
I heard the Hong Kong Customs speak Hong Kong Mandarin in a big way.
Only then did Lin Yi realize that this set of "One Piece" was published by "Yuanfang Publishing House" in 2002, but the problem is that anyone who plays with old books knows that the "Yuanfang" publishing house is simply Yeluzi Publishing House, and this set of books is pirated.
In fact, the only ones authorized to publish "One Piece" in Japan are "ShueiShe", Hong Kong "Tianxia Publishing", Taiwan "Daran Culture Co., Ltd." and "Dongli Publishing House", and mainland "Zhejiang People's Art Publishing House".
In other words, except for the above, the others are pirated and illegal books.
The people of Hong Kong attach great importance to intellectual copyright and spare no effort to combat piracy, so this guy was in trouble. After being criticized and educated by Hong Kong Ah Lie, the comic was confiscated and detailed records were made, which was released.
...
The sun hat guy passed by, but Lin Yi's mind was still swaying. Guo Zixing, who was playing comic collection for a long time, has also learned more about comic collection.
To be precise, the comic collection is still inconspicuous and is a very strong potential stock.
However, when collecting comics, you must look at fame and versions. For example, the "One Piece" just now, for countless book fans, they are proud to collect the Japanese version of "One Piece". Because of this, the original Japanese version of "One Piece" is very popular. The 1 to 60 volumes that have not yet been released have been hyped up to a price of 2,000 or 3,000 yuan.
In addition, due to special reasons, some stolen versions of comics in the mainland are actually very marketable, so the current collection of mainland comics is mixed, making you confused.
According to Lin Yi's opinion, there are only those who have more potential---
1 Changchun Publishing House, 2005 edition of "Slam Dunk", one edition and one print, 31 volumes.
The famous sports basketball comic that influenced a generation, with countless classic lines. Fighting against Shanwang is the most exciting game Lin Yi has ever seen. Now the price of used books is as high as 1,800 yuan;
2 Yuanfang Publishing House, Gui Zhenghe's classic comics i's (volumes 1-15), 2002 one edition and one print.
This book is a classic love masterpiece by Kaneshima. Although it is limited to the yy aspect of men, the girls in the works are still cute. The buttocks are the best part of the painting. The ending of the book is a bit sad and happy ending. Because of the sensitive content, there is no genuine version in the mainland, so the uncut stolen version was even hyped for 380 yuan.
3 Tianjin People's Art Publishing House, out-of-print comic "Chess Soul", full of volumes 1 to 23, one edition and one print in 2004.
The Go comics painted by the first artist, Takeshi Ota, have beautiful pictures and a detailed description of Japan's Go system. They have a profound significance for the promotion of Go sports. Because they are rare, they are out of print. Because they are out of print, old books have been hyped up to a sky-high price of 1,500 yuan.
4 Hainan Publishing House, in 1992, Akira Toriyama's famous work "Alarey", volumes 1 to 6, 33 volumes.
One of the unforgettable childhood classics is probably also the most famous and best-selling funny comic, with great appreciation potential, and now the old books are priced at 550 yuan.
...
In addition, the main factor in the appreciation of comic collection is out of print.
Anyone who is out of print comics has collection value, such as the cutting-edge version of "Three Eyes" (900-1800 yuan), "Fuxing Boy" (1200-2000 yuan), the primary school library version of "Galaxy Railway 999" (1500-2200 yuan), etc. These are all "rare books" in the comic collection.
...
Who would have thought that comics, which were originally thought to be very naive and inconspicuous, have now become a collection that countless people are keen on. In addition to Japanese comics, even Hong Kong and Taiwan comics and comics from mainland Chinese writers have also entered the collection ranks. Perhaps in the future old book market, this immature collection team will become a unique mainstream army.
...
Just as Lin Yi was thinking about the comics collection, the team ahead moved.
The bloated team began to pass the maritime inspection one after another.
In front, Su Xue passed by. The photography team passed by. Agent Xiong and the mp2 team also passed by with great confidence. The three old men also coughed. Young Master Xu wiped his sweat and opened his luggage depressedly and was inspected. People suspected that he was smuggling so much by himself.
For the first time, Lin Yi felt that it was necessary to share Mr. Xu's luggage, not for anything else, but for getting there early.
Chapter completed!
