Seeing that the auction site was crowded with people, the female host Dong Xuan was so happy. You know, she was hired by three bigwigs from Pan Jiayuan to host, and the profit of this auction was closely related to her commission. Only when the auction was sold was too much, she could get a generous reward. Therefore, she hoped that the auction would be as lively as possible. Unfortunately, from the beginning, except for Lin Yi to draw treasures, all the sacks of old books bought by others were all shocked, which undoubtedly seriously undermined the bidders' enthusiasm. But now, Lin Yi "winds three yuan in a row" and is undoubtedly telling everyone that there are so many treasures in it, so that everyone can bid with confidence.

In order to enhance the more enthusiastic bidding atmosphere on the scene, Dong Xuan also tried her best. At this time, she presented all the precious rare books that Lin Yi had picked up to everyone for everyone to come and watch.

First, there are picture albums from the Republic of China, including the "Shitao Painting Book" series of the Ke Luo version, including landscape characters, flowers, birds, fish and insects that Master Shitao is good at. There are 16 books in total, with absolutely good quality, almost each of which is worth thousands of dollars.

What is even more rare is the "Collection of Master Qi Baishi's Treasures". This book is also in the Colo edition, but it is a rare color print. In addition, this album only has 180 copies, which are rare books given to someone by Qi Baishi back then. Now it is rare. According to the current market price, it is worth at least 170,000 to 180,000.

Others include "Mr. Wang Zhen's Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures", photocopying by Zheng Bookstore, "Flowers and Birds Collection of Yu Youren", published by Shanghai Picture Publishing House, etc. - These albums are also rare treasures, and with other rare literary works from the Republic of China, they are worth tens of thousands of yuan.

There are all collections of old books around, or book vendors with rich experience and strong strength. They also understand the value of these picture albums. With a little calculation, they can be worth at least 370,000 or 80,000.

If these Republic of China albums and the literature of the literature of the literature have opened their eyes to those who watch it, then the 258 thread-bound books that Lin Yi has also found are mouth-watering.

After all, books are different from calligraphy and paintings at auctions. One calligraphy and painting can reach millions. The collection of books has just emerged, but its potential is extremely huge. In the past ten years from 2003 to 2013, the price of books has increased by almost twenty times.

In 2003, you could buy a thread-bound book "Mencius" with good looks during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. In 2013, you would have to ask for four or five hundred.

In the past, people often said that "there is a golden house in books." Now the golden house is in these old books, especially those rare thread-bound books.

There are 258 thread-bound books, including a set of six copies of the "Mencius Collection of Notes" in the Kangxi Palace of the Qing Dynasty, a complete set of 10 volumes of "Commentary on the Analects of Confucius Collection and Interpretation of the Analects of Confucius" in the Qing Dynasty, a complete set of eight volumes of "The Great Yan Yi" in the Qing Dynasty, as well as three volumes of "The Three Volumes of the Inscriptions of Hui'an" by the Secretary of the Ming Dynasty, Ji Gu Pavilion, and the Three Volumes of the "Hue'an Inscriptions" by the Secretary of the Ming Dynasty...

If the previous thread-bound books are only considered ordinary books in rare books and are attracted by the "Dian Book", then the most valuable one is a set of "The Strategies of the Warring States" thirty-three volumes, (Han) Gao Yuting notes, and Yayutang finely written and engraved in the 21st year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1756), 1 letter and 4 volumes.

At this moment, the white-haired old man who wanted to acquire Lin Yi's "Thirteen Classics Notes" stared at this set of books, without blinking, and his eyes were filled with hot light.

Because he knew clearly that the same set of such books last year was just "Gu Guangqi's school-based book" and sold a sky-high price of 40.08 million yuan at the auction.

Of course, the reason why the photographer paid such a high price was, on the one hand, that this set of books was really rare, and it was also because of the character "Gu Guangqi". Gu Guangqi, a native of the Jiaqing period, read four books, was well-versed in classical studies, elementary schools, and especially well-edited in Yunxue. He was known as the masters of the Qing Dynasty's proofreading with Sun Xingyan, Huang Pilie and others. Therefore, all rare ancient books he proofreaded can double their value.

Although this set in front of me is not a proofreader of Gu Guangqi, it is definitely a treasure among rare books and can be worth at least millions.

At this moment, those who watch these treasures are all big experts. When they watch them, some even take out their phones as calculators and calculate them. They quickly concluded that even if they spend 4.3 million to buy them, they will still make a profit if they sell them!

...

"Little brother, it's so good. I have found so many good books in three consecutive sacks! You said just now that if you want to take advantage of these books, I will consider me first--I will pay three million rmb. What do you think?" The white-haired old man said with a smile.

Lin Yi, I'm dizzy, I really take the opportunity to find a bargain.

"I'll pay 3,050,000..."

"Three million and eighty thousand..."

"I'll pay 3.1 million... Oh no, this number is unlucky, so it's better to just 3.98 million!"

Those book vendors with a keen sense of smell and a smart business mind will not be cheaper to this old man and bid directly.

The thin book dealer who offered the price earlier also called out the price, but before Lin Yi could reply, other book dealers also called out the price. Finally, the man's bidding caused laughter from everyone at the scene.

Lao Cao, who had been watching the show for a long time, was stunned and said to He Dabao beside him: "Cousin, are you sure they are calling more than 3.9 million yuan, not more than 3.90 yuan? No, why does this feel like a dream? Cousin, pinch me..."

"Oh, you'd like to pinch it gently..." Old Cao only felt a sharp pain coming from his arm, and the servant was awake now.

"I didn't pinch it." He Dabao was also shocked by the scene at this time, and he had no time to deal with Lao Cao.

Lao Huang stood behind Lao Cao and said seriously: "Do you want me to pinch it again?"

"Don't, I can't do it if I have shallow eyes." Old Cao pushed away the hand that Lao Huang reached out again.

Among Lin Yi and his friends, there is no need to mention Lao Cao's family background. Although he is a little stingy, he still has some money in his account, which is no problem for millions. Lao Huang felt a little aggrieved. After Lin Yi for so many years, he had a capital of at most hundreds of thousands, let alone He Dabao. He was very bitter. If it weren't for Lao Cao's help, he wouldn't know where to work hard now.

But now, the three sacks of old books that Lin Yi and they jointly bid for were worth more than 3.9 million yuan, which shocked them directly. Apart from the capital, there were about three million yuan. Lin Yi divided half of them, and there were still 150 yuan left. The three of them shared equally, and each one was 500,000 yuan.

The sound of firecrackers set off by Lin Yi attracted more tourists, and the bidding became more and more intense.

As the saying goes, since they came to Taobao in this antique market, they are somewhat good at some knowledge; not to mention that this is the capital city, under the feet of the emperor, and there are more rich people, and they also spend millions as a few dollars. Therefore, if the books Lin Yi took, if they were attracted by them, they would immediately become the target of looting. Moreover, these books are really rare ancient books, and no one is willing to give up, and the prices they shouted are also rising steadily, from 3.98 million to 4 million, to 4.01 million, 0.3 million, and 0.5 million…

Continuously climbing until---

"Four and nine hundred thousand!"

The thin man who was just now, who was a little gentle in bidding, was like a gambler who was red-eyed and shouted out the highest price in the venue with a blushing face.

Judging from the value of these ancient books themselves, the price is almost at its peak. After all, this is just an auction house on Huguo Temple Taobao, not a real auction house. It is mostly for ordinary people and has limited consumption power. It is already amazing to be able to auction such a price.

After the thin book vendor shouted out this price, the venue became silent. Everyone who was interested in these ancient books calculated the gains and losses in their minds. It didn't matter if they bought these books and made less money, but if they lost money, everyone would naturally not be willing to take action.

There are about twenty people in the market now bidding, and after more than 3.9 million, they have increased the price by 10,000 yuan. However, this thin man shouted from more than 3.9 million yuan to 4.9 million yuan. It seems that he is determined to win these books.

Seeing that no one was willing to bid anymore, just as Lin Yi was about to agree, suddenly, the white-haired old man who had been bent over to observe these old books stood up, stretched out his five fingers, and said lightly: "I'll pay five million!!!"
