One million is a big number for many people, but for truly rich people, it is not enough to even put gaps between their teeth.

What can one million do?

Drink a bottle of red wine?

Buy a famous watch?

Or reward those online female anchors to have fun.

Yes, this is class.

One million. If you save ten thousand a year, then it takes one hundred years and 20,000 a year. That takes fifty years, and 30,000 a year, it takes more than thirty years... Let me ask, how many fifty years does a person have?

So Lin Yi cherished the million he had in his hands. After paying off his favor, he gave Cao Yidao almost 80,000 yuan in benefits and gave his sister Lin Xue a 300,000 yuan in house purchase, Lin Yi did not buy his own house as many people thought, and then spent money to decorate, buy another car, invest in a small business, and enjoy the life brought by money happily.

Because Lin Yi knew that this kind of happiness could only be short-term, one million, and there would be no in the blink of an eye. If he tossed like this, he would become a pauper again in a blink of an eye. So Lin Yi only spent 8,600 yuan a year to rent a house in a nearby apartment. The area is 90 square meters, two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, a bed, a sofa, an internet cable, and a water heater. It is most suitable for a single man like Lin Yi.

With a place to live, Lin Yi can temporarily settle down and consider the path he will take in the future.

Now, Lin Yi knows that he has three specialties: painting tigers, making tea, and editing books.

It’s just a pity that the skill of drawing tigers cannot be used as a food, unless you decide to take the “fake” route and sell the fakes of Master Liu Jiyan. According to the essence of drawing tigers, no one can recognize it.

Is it a good idea to make tea? At this time, I can probably apply for a doctorate in tea or a tea ceremony master when I go to any high-end tea house. It’s a pity that I am tired of this kind of life of working for others.

Finally, when restoring books, this industry is definitely promising, especially facing the current trend of collecting, many precious ancient books need to be repaired, but the problem is that if you have no reputation or store, who will trust you and ask you to dress up hundreds of thousands or millions of ancient books? What's more, your ability to repair ancient books is even more shameful.

Lin Yi knew at this moment. Although he had three seemingly awesome abilities, he could not even be a way to make money and become rich. As for financial investment, Lin Yi knew nothing about this. In the past, he might have used money to buy a house, gold, and then Xiaofu would just leave it to the bank to earn interest. Otherwise, he would open a small restaurant, find a small storefront, sell cold rice noodles, and sell sugar, tobacco and alcohol. But now it is different, because Lin Yi decided the direction he would go in the future early in the morning---

Take a book, pick up the bargain!

He made a fortune by purchasing old books and became the first old book tycoon in history!

There is a golden house in the book ----!!!

Recently, Lin Yi read some news. It is said that the "Jushi Tie" handwritten by Zeng Gong, a great writer of the Song Dynasty, was sold for 27 million yuan in the auction of Chinese calligraphy and painting treasures at night. This note includes the previous title and date, but only 124 words, and the average word is about 1.67 million yuan.

The Yuan copy of "Twelve Volumes of Strategy in the Two Han Dynasties" is a book that is paid attention to in the academic and library circles. It has been widely circulated as a copy of Zhao Meng for 400 years. It was handed over by famous artists from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the place where Zhou Liangjin was preserved during the Jiajing period of the Ming and Qing dynasties was entered into the Jigu Pavilion of Mao in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It was obtained by Zhang Chaole during the Qianlong period of the Qing dynasty, and it was collected by Wanyan Jingxian in the late Qing dynasty. The book contains inscriptions written by Weng Fanggang, Wang Jie, Qian Daxin, Sun Shiyi, and Yuan Mei, and stamped them all. The seals stamped by Mao’s Jigu Pavilion have been stamped for more than 80 cubic meters. In the special session of rare ancient books at the China Gude Auction, it started with 9 million yuan. After nearly 70 fierce bids, it was finally sold for 48.3 million yuan, setting a historical record of the Ming version.

Foreign, Christie's auction in the UK, in order to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, a special auction was specially auctioned for four volumes of Shakespeare's first edition of works in 1632. Finally, after fierce auction, the auction price was as high as 3.69 million US dollars, equivalent to RMB 24.35 million.

According to Taoshu notes, Mr. Wei Li, the greatest collection of old books in China, has a "book library" of more than 600 square meters, which contains more than 8,000 books and more than 70,000 rare ancient books. Among them, there are more than 50 manuscripts and more than 200 books published by the Song and Yuan dynasties and before, nearly 20, more than 300 copies of the Song and Yuan dynasties and the Song and Yuan dynasties, more than 1,200 copies of the Ming Dynasty, more than 1,000 copies of the Ming Dynasty, more than 800 copies of the proofreader and copying manuscripts, more than 600 movable type books, more than 1,700 kinds of inscriptions and calligraphy. Many ancient books are not even in the national collection, and they even need to borrow them from him...all calculated as auction prices, up to 6.5 billion. If the appreciation potential is calculated, it is even a terrifying number!

...

This is the old book market, this is the old book collection. As long as you have luck, vision, means, and with certain financial support, you can become famous overnight and become a well-known old book tycoon.

Lin Yi believes in his nose, his vision, and even more so in this old book trading market that is gradually booming in the world, and the high collection heat wave.

Maybe one day, I can stand at the highest peak of the world's old book collection and tell everyone that I, Lin Yi, can do what you can do!

...

Since he decided on the path he would take in the future, Lin Yi began to conduct detailed research on the used books and the used book trading market.

First of all, what are the sources of old books?

Lin Yi estimated that there are three sources.

First of all, it comes from the scrap purchase station.

The books I read were sold to those who went around the streets to collect waste, and they resold them to the scrap purchase station. At the scrap purchase station, they sorted and then went to the hands of the second-deao dealer. Then, the old book stall engaged in the buying and selling of old books, and the owner of the old book shop took the books from the second-deao dealer and then traded. Finally, he was left to the people who loved old books.

Lin Yi once went to some local waste purchase stations. He wanted to buy some old books he liked to read, but the people at the waste purchase station did not sell them. The reason was that Lin Yi only picked up what he wanted to read, so for the people at the acquisition station, it would be a loss. Because they would match the old books they received based on the new, old, thickness, etc., and sell them to the old books at a price.

Secondly, it comes from the library.

Some institutions and institutions and schools also handle books from time to time. Among Lin Yi’s old books, there were libraries from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nandu Sanhao Middle School, local No. 5 Middle School, No. 22 Middle School, cotton mill, second rubber factory, freezer factory, etc. The old books from these school enterprises are generally packaged and sold. If any old book stall owner can encounter such a business, he can make a small profit.

Finally, it comes from the publishing house.

The books published by the publisher are sold to those who love reading through the Xinhua Bookstore distribution system from top to bottom. However, because the publisher’s inaccurate sales forecasts of some books, sometimes it will cause a certain book to be too large to be sold. What should I do if these books that cannot be sold? The publisher will package them with professional book sales websites. However, such old books are generally very new and sold on the formal Internet through discounts, and it is difficult to find a bargain.

After Lin Yi finished his research, he understood that the third one needed huge funds and online channels, which he could not do for the time being; the second one needed good opportunities, but could not find one; the first one was the simplest and most practical one, not to mention that he was taking the "Tao Shu Break" route, and it seemed that he had to deal with scrap stations.

Isn’t it ridiculous for a millionaire to go to a scrap station to buy used books?

In fact, even Lin Yi himself found it funny.

...

Lin Yi considers himself a newbie to buy and sell old books, so he humbly hopes to learn the skills of purchasing old books from some seniors, such as Dong Yanjing, Liu Sanliang, and even Wang Heizi and He Xiangu.

However, unfortunately, since Lin Yi became famous in the battle, he has become a unique existence in the Temple of Wealth, and the sequelae of this incident have also been revealed.

First of all, when everyone saw him, they called him "Lin Baiwan" or "Baobao King", and some even shouted directly: "Our millionaire is here to find the bargain again."

Lin Yi laughed at these names full of jealousy. After all, he hated the common sense of poverty and hated the rich. As long as his ideological level is not high enough to "serve the people wholeheartedly", he will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable when he sees someone getting rich overnight.

Secondly, the female friends who set up stalls in the God of Wealth Temple looked at Lin Yi with different eyes. They all looked golden and licked the corners of their mouths, just like the female fairy in Journey to the West saw Tang Monk's flesh, which made Lin Yi have to avoid the charming eyes they threw, for fear of being drowned in the autumn waves.

However, what made Lin Yi feel extremely depressed was that no matter which book he picked up a book at which he picked up, the book would be immediately told not to sell it. The stall owner was highly vigilant and would hold it in his arms like a child and hold it tightly, as if he suddenly found a peerless golden egg, ready to hatch it with his own strength.

Lin Yi understood what they meant, and was afraid that he would get another vacancy, thinking that the books he liked were all valuable.

Oh my God, in fact, Lin Yi just read those books casually, without any intention of picking up bargains. To be precise, even if he really wants to pick up bargains, he would not be so blatant. After all, everyone knows that Lin Yi is now "fire-eyed and golden-eyed" and "ordering books to make gold".

In short, the place where the God of Wealth is no longer fun. Everyone is guarding against him like a woman who is resistant to perverts, for fear that Lin Yi will pick up some valuable old books to run away.

Lin Yi was a little unexpected and felt uncomfortable about such a change. However, what made him even more uncomfortable was that Teacher Huang did not come.

When Teacher Huang was there, everyone would ignore this guy sitting upright under the sun, like a fool, but suddenly he was missing and he always felt something was wrong.

Lin Yi felt something was wrong, so he asked someone to ask, and someone familiar with Teacher Huang said that his paralyzed mother had an accident and was hospitalized.

It turned out that not long ago, Teacher Huang went out to do business and wanted to ask my mother to take care of her, but no one was willing to accept it. Helplessly, Teacher Huang had to prepare everything and put her at home alone. Who would have thought that the old lady had diarrhea for a while and got a bed. The old lady felt sorry for her son, so she climbed from the bed to the ground and wanted to pull the order to wash it. Unexpectedly, she accidentally knocked over the tea bottle and boiled the boiling water directly on the old lady's hands and legs. The old lady endured it, but didn't say a word until Teacher Huang came back...

"You can imagine it..." The man sighed, "How uncomfortable is Teacher Huang?... He hurriedly sent the old lady to the hospital. The huge amount of money spent in it has not improved yet."

After hearing this, Lin Yi's first reaction was whether he should do something and send money over. Will he ask for it? According to Teacher Huang's mind, even if he is poor, he will not kowtow and ask for help. Moreover, this matter itself is because of him, so he must be very self-blame, let alone asking for help from others.

Sometimes a man’s self-esteem is also a poison, a poison of chronic suicide.

Seeing Lin Yi's expression was dazed after hearing this, the man said intently: "No one can help with this matter, so let's take a look. By the way, I heard that you are inquiring about the source of used books. I heard that a lot of old books have come from Dushan Waste Products Station recently. These guys are all going to Taobao. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Lin Yi smiled, then took out a box of Zhonghua and stuffed it to the other party, and said, "Thank you, it's okay to go and have a look. If you want to find a bargain here, I don't think you're hopeful."

The man held the cigarette, and was so beautiful that he grinned and flattered: "Who made you look so angry? Ask the whole Nandu who plays old books, who can get rich overnight like you? You don't know. You are almost jealous of the four kings, and you are all our super idols."

Lin Yi smiled and stopped talking.
