In Nandu, Lin Yi returned to Nandu again.

The "Ink Rhyme and Fragrance" library he spent a lot of money to build is under construction.

Many people around were watching and watching.

Lin Yi also took time to come here.

The towering three-story library building is built according to the ancient architectural model, with carved railings and painted walls, and red tiles flying eaves standing on this quiet land. From a distance, it makes people feel refreshed and refreshing, and it seems to be an ancient building.

In the crowd, several scholars seemed to be talking about this library.

An older uncle said: "I bet that this library will sooner or later become a new attraction or even a new landmark in our Nandu."

Another younger student said, "Just blow on you, how is that possible! This is not a municipal cultural relics attraction."

Uncle smiled and said, "Young man, don't be unbearable. Uncle, I walked more bridges than you have eaten. Don't say anything else, do you know what building this is?"

The young man said, "Why don't you know, isn't it just a library?"

"Then do you know what you have collected in this place in the future?" Uncle continued to ask.

"Uncle, you are testing me. The library is of course a place to collect books."

"Haha, then do you know what books these are?"

"I heard it was some old books."

"Old books? They are rare ancient books!" Uncle said in a furious manner, "Young man, if you don't know how to collect ancient books, you should watch more TV and read more books. What era is it now? It is an era when ancient books are hot. Those scholars and educated people, and rich people like to collect those old ancient books."

"You're exaggerating?" The young man touched his head.

"Exaggeration? Not exaggerating at all! Do you know why this library needs to install so many security systems? It's not that the owner is rich and idle, but because the books collected here are too valuable in the future!" Uncle seemed to know everything and said to the young man.

He was loud and was talking about the library, so he quickly attracted the people around him to hear these "inside stories".

Uncle was in a high mood and continued, "If you don't say anything else, there are books on the Republic of China in it, do you know?"

"The Republic of China? Are those worthwhile?"

"Yes, although the book of the Republic of China is not common, it is not necessarily valuable." Someone around echoed.

Perhaps in the eyes of these people, the so-called valuable old books are those that are on TV, such as the Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty books from the Republic of China, and the times are too close.

Uncle felt that he had the necessity and obligation to help these "book blind people" popularize some knowledge about collecting old books, especially in the collection of books in the Republic of China.

So my uncle said, "You lack knowledge. Do you know what new literature in the Republic of China is? Don't you know. Then I will tell you, it is the novels written by those literati during the Republic of China period, such as Lu Xun... Do you know about Lu Xun?"

"Lu Xun? Of course I know. I also learned his text when I was in school, called "Hometown". By the way, there is also an article "Remembering Liu Hezhenjun."

"It's good to know. Do you know that Mr. Lu Xun's first collection of novels, "Call to Arms", was published by Beixin Bookstore of the Republic of China, and the first edition of the rough version, how much is it worth now?"

"How much?"

"One book costs 9,800 yuan!" Uncle said loudly, "This is pretty small. What is the book he and his brother called "Extraterritorial Novels Collection", and the first edition of the rough version is as high as 200,000!"

As soon as these words were spoken, someone around him burst out laughing.

Uncle immediately widened his eyes and asked the laughing man, "Don't you believe it?"

It was a young man in his early twenties. Seeing that he looked like he was with the young man, he sneered and said, "Uncle, you don't care about talking big. If my friend doesn't argue with you, you're really boasting. You think we're stupid for 200,000 books on the Republic of China!"

"Yes," said the young man, "I can buy a house for 200,000 yuan. Any fool who can buy a book or the Republic of China! Even if Lu Xun's books are valuable, they will not reach that level. Do you think this is the case?"

The people around immediately started to cheer and said, "Yes, what kind of lies is this? A book of the Republic of China can be sold for 200,000 yuan. Who will believe it if you say it!"

"Do you believe it?"

"Don't believe it!"

"Hahaha!"

...

Uncle was stunned at this moment. He was actually called a liar, and no one believed that what he said was true.

Isolated and helpless, weak, and alone, unable to hold on to the sky--Uncle thought of all the words, and he even wanted to do "Scream" like Mr. Lu Xun...

However, before the uncle could shout out, a voice said, "I believe this uncle."

Everyone was stunned and looked at the other side of speaking, and then they saw that the young man with a handsome appearance and elegant temperament was seen.

Uncle was excited, no, to be precise, moved. Looking at the young man, although the world is great, you are the only one who is my confidant.

The young man and his companions were unhappy, "Who are you? Come out to disrupt the situation."

The young man was not angry, and still said kindly: "I didn't disturb the situation. In fact, what this uncle said is true. And that book "Outdoor Novel Collection" was not auctioned for 200,000 yuan, to be precise, the commission of 10% of the company should be 297,000 yuan."

"Ha, the more you brag, the more you get, the more you have, the more you have! Who do you think you are? How can we believe your words?"

"Haha, you don't need to believe it, because these are all facts." The young man said slowly.

"What's the basis?"

"The basis is--" the young man said in a leisurely manner.

Speaking of a night in late spring in 2007, the Tokyo edition of "Collection of Extraterritorial Novels" (Volume 1), the first rare book of New Literature, was like a miracle falling from the sky, and posted it from a book vendor in Beijing to auction on an old book online. The seller did not recognize the title of the book written by Chen Shizeng and wrote it incorrectly as "O" in the seal script of the domain, and the collection was replaced by ellipsis. The seller posted 5 pictures of the book, cover, preface, catalog page, copyright page, and internal page. Moreover, the seller of such a famous rare book only marked the starting price of 25 yuan. If the seller did not understand the value of this book, why did he post so many pictures?

Generally, when selling books online, the ordinary book only has a cover, and if it is a little expensive, it will be on the copyright page, and the illustration with illustrations. It is rare to show several important elements of a book like this, which shows that the seller attaches great importance to the book. Whether the seller really doesn’t understand or pretends not to understand, the book collection circle is sensational, and the commenters and bidders have hit a new high. Since the maximum transaction limit set by the online auction is 20,000 yuan, the bid for "Outdoor Novel Collection" cannot continue to reach 19,999 yuan. At this time, the seller may realize what a treasure book this book is--it almost sold out, so he took the book from the Internet and traded privately.

At first I heard that someone had offered 50,000 yuan but failed to buy it, but then I heard that 80,000 yuan had not been sold yet. A collector had the opportunity to buy it for 3,000 yuan before it was put on the auction. Unfortunately, he missed this once-in-a-lifetime book fortune.

Why is this book so precious? The reason is that "scarcity is precious".

Regarding the number of the first edition of "Extraterritorial Novels" that existed, everyone has always been based on Lu Xun's statement - "Half a year has passed, and the accounts were settled at the nearby consignment office in Tokyo. It is estimated that the first volume was sold for twenty books, and the second volume was twenty books, but no one will buy them again... As for Shanghai, I have not yet known in detail. I heard that only twenty books were sold for more than twenty books, and no one will buy them again in the future."

According to Lu Xun's original words, the number of "Collection of Extraterritorial Novels" should be about thirty copies, which in other words would be about 60 volumes (books). Unfortunately, according to what Lu Xun said, "four or five years later", all the books were burned, which means that this book was basically "out of print".

Let’s talk about the book “Collection of Extraterritorial Novels”, which started with 30,000 yuan. Before 150,000 yuan, there were several bidders. The competition was tense. After the bid exceeded 200,000 yuan, only two people left to raise the bid. The one-on-one contest ended with the auctioneer shouting “270,000, 270,000 yuan, the last time”. The hammer fell, and the audience applauded. In the end, the precious book plus a 10% commission, a total of 297,000 yuan was auctioned, which shocked the entire collection industry since then.

...

Everyone was stunned and listened to the young man's story about the book of the Republic of China for more than 200,000 yuan.

Because the other party spoke too carefully and too seriously, everyone showed an incredible expression.

So as soon as the young man finished his lecture, those people asked curiously: "Who are you? How could you know so much?"

The young man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that what this uncle said is facts, and this newly built library also contains many new literature books in the Republic of China, and many of them are rare books. Of course, this kind of Republic of China books is a small part of all the books. The reason why this library was built is mainly to collect and preserve some rare ancient books, including ancient books from the Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, and Qing Dynasty."

"Each of these ancient books has their own stories, and each one is worthless. If you don't know much about the collection of ancient books, then I suggest you come here to appreciate and learn more in the future. After all, the inheritance of ancient book culture is not enough to build a library, and we all need to work together. Remember one thing, the ultimate goal of our collection is not to tuck these things in the east and not display them; on the contrary, we should make the best use of everything, so that all of us can explore the long historical and cultural river through these rare ancient books, and be able to benefit from it and learn from it. This is our purpose." When the young man said this, he smiled and turned around and left.

The onlookers looked at him, and someone muttered, "What a great master, do you think you are?"

At this time, a big bald man suddenly stood up in the crowd. The big bald man shook his head and sighed, and then said loudly: "You guys, you really don't know Mount Tai!"

"What's the meaning?"

"Who are you?"

"What are you doing?"

"What nonsense?"

...

"Nonsense?! Haha, do you know who he is?" asked the big bald man.

"Who is it?"

"What's so great?"

"Yes, is he still a big shot?"

...

Seeing that these people were still so unconscious, the big bald man shook his head again, then pointed to the library building that was being built and said, "The one just now is the owner of this library!"

"Owner? Could it be that he is the legendary..."

I immediately thought of a person, a famous and famous figure in Nandu and even in the ancient book industry across the country. Now I am the youngest seventh-grade collector...
