The old man was very happy.

As soon as these words came out.

The people who were about to leave rushed back immediately.

They surrounded Su An in the middle.

He stretched his neck to observe the cover paper material of the book.

After everyone confirmed it, he quickly said: "This is a copy of "Evolution and Ethics", which is sold in bookstores for more than 30 yuan!"

"This book should be more than 30 yuan. The paper is very old. It should be an old book from decades ago. According to the price of old books, it should be sold for three or four hundred yuan!"

"After all, this book is from abroad, not one of the four great classics in China. I like to collect this kind of book. I want to sell it as soon as possible, at most two hundred."

"Anyway, this book is still much more valuable than other books, at least I can get some money back."

"No, why do I feel that this book is not published in the last few decades, it feels older?"

"I think so too, look at the edge of the paper, it is badly damaged!"

The stall owner was delighted and said while the iron was hot: "I said that the little brother's luck is not bad, you see, the value of this book can be worth several books! You are so lucky, do you want to buy another box to play with? Maybe you can open thousands of ancient books!"

After that, he said to the onlookers: "Look, there are still good things in my box, this little brother opened it, if you are lucky, you can buy one and open it!"

He thinks Su An is really a lucky star.

The price of opening this book is not too high, as a boss, he will not lose money, and it can also stimulate people's desire to buy.

"No, boss, I just like this box."

Su An looked at the books in his hand, and detailed information appeared.

[Item]: "Evolution and Ethics"

[Details]: Published in April 1898, translated by Yan Fu, the book mainly promotes the idea of ​​"survival of the fittest" and combines Darwin's theory of biological evolution with Western philosophical thoughts...

[Value]: 6.49 million

The cover of this book only has three big characters "Evolution and Ethics", and the paper is dark yellow and damaged.

Through the system, Su An learned that this book is "Evolution and Ethics" by Thomas Henry Huxley, a famous British naturalist, translated by Mr. Yan Fu.

Its content was adapted by Yan Fu to be more in line with the understanding of the Chinese people, and the name was changed to "Evolution and Ethics".

This book is also the first edition of the book published in April 1898 after Yan Fu's translation, more than a hundred years ago.

Su An flipped through a few pages.

The printed font inside is bold and black, and the font is larger than modern printed fonts.

The more Su An reads, the tighter his brows frown.

Even if it is an ancient book over a hundred years old, it cannot be worth 6.49 million.

The works that can reach this price are usually manuscripts and first drafts, such as Dream of the Red Chamber and Journey to the West, whose original handwritten manuscripts can reach tens of millions.

But Evolution and Ethics is only a published and printed book after all. Even after more than a hundred years, it can only reach a price of several thousand or tens of thousands at most, and it is impossible to reach more than six million!

Su An was suspicious, and just as he was flipping through the pages, he heard a very familiar voice.

"Su An, what a coincidence? Are you buying books here?"

Su An turned his head and found Zhao Jianbo squeezed in.

"Did you buy all these books?" He asked, looking at the books at Su An's feet.

Su An closed Evolution and Ethics and said with a smile: "Well, I passed by here and saw the boss selling ancient books in boxes. I was curious, so I bought some to see. These books are all in this box."

Hearing this, Zhao Jianbo picked up the books next to the empty carton.

Zhao Jianbo frowned and said, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Isn't this the most common classic on the bookstalls outside? This is an ancient book?? And this Qing Dynasty History, these are all modern printed books, all modern books, and have nothing to do with ancient books... By the way, how much did you spend on these books?"

"One thousand."

Su An said.

"Damn! How much?"

Zhao Jianbo's face changed.

"One thousand."

"Fuck, one thousand? These modern printed books are also worth one thousand? This is obviously a scam! Who is the stall owner? I'll talk to him!"

Zhao Jianbo said excitedly, holding the book.

Seeing this, the boss hurriedly said: "Brother, brother, listen to me first, I am not cheating you, I sell these books that are genuine and of good value. Look, this Qing Dynasty General History is a book compiled in the Qing Dynasty, it is an ancient book, right? Let alone the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was compiled in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, it can't be called an ancient book?"

After a few words, Zhao Jianbo was speechless.

He has been in the antique circle for so many years, and he is also a veteran.

, and immediately understood that the other party was playing a word game, which was the most troublesome. After all, these were also ancient books, but they were not written by ancient people.

This time Su An had to admit defeat. He had been successful for so long, and he was probably a little arrogant. He didn't notice the other party's text trap, and ended up falling.

Zhao Jianbo sighed and comforted him: "People have mistakes, horses have stumbles, and everyone has times when they make mistakes. Fortunately, it only cost one thousand, and the loss is not big..."

Su An smiled: "I think this thousand is worth spending. By the way, Boss Zhao, you came at the right time. I would like to ask you to take a look at this book."

He raised the closed Tianyan Theory in his hand.

As soon as these words came out.

The eyes of the onlookers immediately looked over.

The water friends in the live broadcast room were also confused at this time.

[What's so good about this broken book? ]

[Isn't it just a Tianyan Theory? It's sold online, and you can buy it for thirty or forty! ]

[No! This book is very old, it must be more than thirty or forty. Didn't someone say before that this book can be sold for three or four hundred at most! 】

【Three or four hundred is a loss, this box is sold for one thousand, and it may not be sold for three or four hundred! 】

【Brother Su was too successful before, this time he must have been too proud, although the money is not much, but he was still cheated. 】

【Not necessarily, I believe Brother Su, let's see what Boss Zhao says first! 】

The onlookers at the scene discussed quietly.

"Although this book looks very old, old books are not worth much. It's worth a few hundred at most!"

"This young man probably won't give up and doesn't want to admit that he lost money."

"That's not necessarily the case. What if this book is a very old ancient book, or the first edition? Maybe it's worth one or two thousand!"

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, the boss also murmured in his heart. He stared at the book in Su An's hand, and his thoughts quickly passed through his mind: I collected this book with other books in the countryside. It looks a bit old, but I read the first page at that time. It's a printed book. As long as it's a printed book, it's basically worthless. I can't be wrong. I guess it's like what they said, this young man just feels unwilling, so he lets people read it.

I can't be wrong. That's a printed book, not worth much money, at most two or three hundred!

The more the boss thought about it, the more he felt that he was not wrong, and he was full of confidence in himself.

The uneasiness and uneasiness in his heart were swept away!
