Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 560 Who Knows? (first update)
"Really? How did you find out?"

Yu Hua stared at the photo on the screen, but couldn't see anything: "This photo doesn't even have the words written by Mr. Chang."

That's right, this netizen sent Dostoyevsky's "Demons (Volume [-])", and there is only a gift from a person named Lin Hanwen.

In the message, Lin Hanwen bid farewell to Chang Huaiying. He said that he was about to go to France, and maybe he would never return to China. He was with him, but Chang Huaiying refused.

The date of inscription is September [-], [-].

The reason why Yu Dong thinks this book is true is because "Possessed Demons (Volume [-])" is in his hands.

On the last page of the book "Demons (Volume [-])" in Yu Dong's hand, there is Chang Huaiying's handwriting. In that handwriting, Chang Huaiying mentioned Lin Hanwen's gift.

This matter was not written in "Old Book" by Yu Dong, nor was the photo of that handwriting exposed, so few people know about it.

However, because of the previous liar incident, many netizens thought that this person was a liar. Although the poster specifically marked "not a liar", netizens thought he was 300 taels of silver here.

Many netizens scolded him when they came up.

[Yu Nanshan: Brother, you are committing crimes against the wind. The authorities just exposed a liar. 】

【Zhou Encouragement: The official still hasn't deleted the post? 】

[The thief shouts and pecks the thief: Hey, you haven't paid attention to the last liar, at least Chang Huaiying's name is on the last liar's book.And the seal, your seal is too bright, it doesn't look like an old book at all, big brother, will it be old? 】

[Raw Emerald Stone: Liar to die. 】

In addition to scolding, there are also gags and jokes.

[Master Ronald: Brother, I have the first volume, but I want the second volume, can I? 】

[Spoon 8321: Upstairs, I have the second volume, the one with no seal and nothing. 】

[Tsing Yi Konghou: Brother Shaozi, I want it, five yuan is accepted. 】

[Am I stupid and sad: I pay six yuan ocean! 】

[Tsing Yi Konghou: Don't disturb the market. 】

[Huanmo Chenhua: Maybe it's true?I first bid 12 yuan to test the waters. 】

[Fatty Lizhuzhu: I'll offer two hundred, if you want to sell it, pretend I didn't say anything. 】

……

Seeing the netizens' replies, Yu Dong bent over, pushed Yu Hua away from the stool, and sat on it himself.

He manipulated the mouse and keyboard and began to reply.

[Dong Yudao: I'm interested, give me an email address and chat privately. 】

The poster should have been guarding the website all the time. As soon as Yu Dong's reply was sent out, the poster replied to him and left an email address.

Yu Dong didn't delay, and directly logged into his mailbox and sent an email to the other party, expressing his interest.

After a brief chat, Yu Dong also knew the ins and outs of the book in the master's hand.

This poster is a native of Shanghai, and his hometown is near Mr. Chang’s house. The book "Demons (Vol. [-])" in his hand was given to his grandfather by Mr. Chang. Later, when they moved to a new house, the book was confiscated. Get it up and put it in the storage room.

Later, when he saw "Old Book", he vaguely remembered such a thing, and found this book in the storage room.

At first, he just thought it was worth commemorating, and he didn't think about selling it, but today he saw someone selling Mr. Chang's collection of books on the website, and someone offered a high price of 2000 yuan, so he was a little moved, so he took a picture A few photos were posted on the website, thinking about whether they could also be sold for a good price.

This man is not good at haggling. Before Yu Dong could bargain, he asked if it would be okay.

Yu Dong's reply was a little slow, and he hurriedly asked Babai if it was okay.

In the end, without saying a word, Yu Dong lowered the price to 500 yuan himself.

500 yuan is not too much, and it is not too little. In recent years, domestic wages have increased rapidly. When Yu Donggang started working, the national average wage was only more than 100. Now more than six years later, it has risen to More than 500.

On a national scale, 500 yuan is equal to a month's salary for ordinary people, but in cities like Shanghai, it is only half a month's salary.

At first, the poster thought it was [-] yuan, but later he saw that netizens didn't believe him, and his book did not have Chang Huaiying's handwriting on it, so he thought he couldn't sell the price, so he took the initiative to lower the price.

Seeing that he himself had dropped to [-], Yu Dong negotiated the price of [-] without negotiating with them.

After the conversation, the other party heard that Yu Dong was in Jinling, and he was more anxious than Yu Dong. He was afraid that Yu Dong would regret it, and asked if Yu Dong had any friends in Shanghai. If so, he could send the book to Yu Dong's friends. trade there.

During the whole process of their communication, Yu Hua and Zhang Xian watched from the sidelines.

Seeing that the other party was in such a hurry, Zhang Xian couldn't help but muttered: "If I see that he is in such a hurry, I will definitely treat him as a liar, and this deal will not go through."

"Outsiders, you'd better look carefully, don't make a mistake, 500 yuan is not a lot." Yu Hua reminded.

Yu Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry."

The other party lived not far from the Shanghai Drama Center, so Yu Dong thought of Xu Zheng.

He called Xu Zheng and asked Xu Zheng to help him get the book. Xu Zheng also asked Xu Zheng to pay 500 yuan in advance. At the same time, he also asked Xu Zheng to pay attention to the words on the book and the age of the person who traded.

Yu Dong is not afraid of the authenticity of the book, but he is afraid that the other party is a child who secretly sells the family's things, and it will be easy to argue later.

In just half an hour, Xu Zheng called Yu Dong back, telling him that the transaction was completed and that the other party was a man in his 40s and [-]s.

After Equal East finished talking on the phone with Xu Zheng, Zhang Xian gave a thumbs up, "You're too quick."

Indeed, counting from Yu Dong's reply to getting the book now, there is not even an hour in between.

Yu Hua asked Yu Dong curiously: "Member, if the other party is greedy and the lion asks you for tens of thousands of dollars, will you still buy it?"

Zhang Xian also looked at Yu Dong, he was as curious as Yu Hua.

Tens of thousands of dollars is indeed a lot, but to Dong, it is a drop in the bucket. If the other party really wants tens of thousands, would Yu Dong still buy it?

"No." Yu Dong shook his head, "Actually, it's enough for me to see the pictures he posted. As for the collection, I have it, and I don't have any obsessions. Besides, I don't know how often How many of Mr.'s books are left outside? If you give them tens of thousands, the next person will dare to ask me for hundreds of thousands. It's a shame. Let others do the things that cost a lot of money to collect."

"Others? Besides you, is there really someone who paid tens of thousands of dollars to buy this book?" Zhang Xian asked doubtfully.

Yu Dong shrugged: "Who knows?"

　There are at least two more updates today—should be.
