Defendant who wrote fanfiction, her husband is actually a giant in the literary world

Chapter 16 Front Page Print Edition!For the author?

"This book is actually the Russian version of Snow White?"

Yang Sisi looked at the words on the book in disbelief.

Although, she did not understand Russian.

But after following Li Xiyan for so long, I still came into contact with Russian and knew some Russian.

But it can't be translated.

And why was she surprised?

It is normal for a book like Snow White to be available in Chinese characters or English.

First, this is China, and it is definitely normal for the Chinese version to appear.

Secondly, English is currently the most popular language in the world.

Well, there are a lot of books in English, which is normal.

But the Russian version appeared all of a sudden, do you think it is normal?
"Aunt Xu, why is this place decorated so weirdly? It looks like a study, but it doesn't look like it. It looks like a library."

Reba also followed, and she looked around with great curiosity.

"I know this place, but that kid didn't do it." Xu Zhenzhu said helplessly, "When we were renovating the house, we deliberately left a secret door, and there was a basement below. I also asked why it was done. It's so hidden, he said he kept some good things at home to avoid being stolen."

"That's ridiculous. Just these books? Are you saying it's to prevent theft?"

"Who will steal your book!"

"If you say something bad, I don't want books or anything like that to be given to me."

Reba rolled his eyes, he was quite speechless to these people.

Depressed mouth.

Go ahead and watch the books on these shelves.

"This side is also full of books, Reba, come here quickly."

Bai Ningbing pointed to the wall on the other side, and began to pick up the books to observe.

"It seems that they are all fairy tale books!" Reba was still very careful, and remembered every book he read, "And they are all fairy tales written by two great writers."

"That's right." Bai Ningbing nodded, "The bookshelf on our right is full of Anderson's fairy tales. Like these, "The Ugly Duckling", "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Daughter of the Sea", "Thumbelina" " can be found everywhere, all of which are masterpieces of Anderson."

"Yes, Anderson is a very good writer of fairy tales. It can be said that he is a world-renowned king of fairy tales. What he is good at is using Western backgrounds as themes." When Reba was young, he liked Anderson's fairy tales very much Yes, even now, she still likes it very much. She still knows Anderson very well.

"Sisi, are you reading the Russian version?" Bai Ningbing also noticed something was wrong with Yang Sisi and immediately went over and patted her on the shoulder.

"Yes, Sister Ning Bing, can you understand Russian?" Yang Sisi turned her head and asked.

"I can understand a little bit, but I don't understand everything." Bai Ningbing is a high-achieving student, so she naturally has some understanding of foreign languages.

"Yes, a top student like you can only understand a little bit. I don't know why Mr. Qin Hao bought the Russian version. Can he understand it? Do you expect your daughter to learn Russian?" Yang Sisi said in confusion. As he said that, he really couldn't understand Qin Hao's intention.

"It's probably for collection." Bai Ningbing opened the book, looked at the printing time and edition number, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Collection, can this thing still be collected?"

“Are all books collectibles?”

"This is not an antique. How can I collect it?"

"Unless it is an autographed version of a famous artist, there is nothing to collect!"

Bai Ningbing looked at the barrage and was about to say something, but soon, Reba stood on tiptoes and took down another copy of "Snow White" where Yang Sisi had just taken the book.

"Hey, everyone, here's the French version!"

"French?" Bai Ningbing was startled and looked around.

"There's more here, this is the Japanese version!"

"I have the Italian version here!"

They took down the tallest bookshelf, and many of the books in it.

Not only Snow White, but also other ugly ducklings, the emperor's new clothes and so on.

It's like they've found a treasure.

Then, they also began to draw conclusions.

The bookshelf on the right is full of Anderson's fairy tales, and there are various versions, quite complete.

"It's really strange, these foreign language versions of books are all printed on the front page!"

Bai Ningbing was interrupted just now, so she didn't say anything.

Now after reading many, many versions, I have opened my mouth.

"The front page is the first printed version, right?" Reba blinked his beautiful big eyes.

"Is that worth it?" Yang Sisi asked.

"Some versions are valuable, and some are not, such as the English version and the Chinese version. In other words, the versions in countries with large populations are not very valuable. Even the front page is only worth one or two thousand in the market now. You should understand what I mean, right?"

Bai Ningbing didn't explain much.

After all, a country with a small population needs less fairy tales.

Then there will be less printing.

The front page is naturally valuable.

But in a place with a large population, there is a lot of printing, and the rare is the most expensive, so it is worthless.

"For example, this San Marino version of Snow White. Although San Marino is also in Italian, due to the original situation, it seems that only a few thousand copies of Snow White were printed. The value of such a front page should be more than 2 yuan."

Bai Ningbing said so.

The live broadcast room exploded in no time.

"Fuck, I'm not mistaken, isn't it just a book of fairy tales, 2 yuan?"

"It's really outrageous. Isn't it more than 30 yuan in a bookstore?"

"Please, someone said it, it was printed on the front page, and the meaning is different."

Bai Ningbing didn't bother to explain, and continued to pick up a Polish version, "This one is more valuable, probably more than 3."

"Strange to say, these books should not be collected according to Mr. Qin's financial resources, right?" Yang Sisi asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Sister Xiyan collected them here?"

"Well, it's very possible. After all, Xiyan also likes Anderson's fairy tales." Bai Ningbing nodded, and that's all she could understand.

So much front page printing.

The combined value is about several million.

Luo Feng's 500 million royalties are basically gone to build a rural villa. Do you have other financial resources to do this?
Besides, he probably wouldn't have such a hobby.

"Yeah, the books printed on the front page are generally given to the original author or some friends by the printing company, or you go to the bookstore to buy them directly, but generally the front page printing is to test the waters and not print too much, so The chance of buying it is also relatively small. What’s more, after many years, you paid for the collection.” Yang Si thought for a while and said, “Sister Xiyan was still young when the front page was printed, so she couldn’t buy it. Then It must be bought by someone else at a high price after many years."

"Hey, look, here are the works of child prodigy writers!" Reba looked at the bookshelves over there, "There is a pony crossing the river, and the magic brush Ma Liang, and the wolf is coming, there are all of them."

In Reba's heart, in fact, his favorite writer must be a "child prodigy" writer.

After all, these works were all grown up with Reba.

It is of course a bit of a surprise to see these books that I read every day when I was a child on such an occasion.
