Chapter 19 A small profit

The appraisal report of the "Book Tomb Notes" handed over by Professor Wu Guokun is very heavy, like a brick in his hand, it should weigh a catty.

The report is over 4 centimeters thick, with a total of 827 pages and over 90 words, four times more than the novel itself.

This report is the result of an afternoon of hard work led by Wu Guokun and more than 80 book appraisal experts.

No wonder the book appraisal fee is so expensive, just to print this report, it is estimated to cost 100 yuan, right?

Liu Xing originally thought that the work efficiency of the Jianshu Building was not high, but after getting the appraisal report of "Book Tomb Notes", he changed his mind.It should not be an easy task to produce such a thick report in one afternoon.

"It's just a novel, why do you need so much data?"

Liu Xing couldn't figure it out for a while, holding the thick book appraisal report in his hand, he turned down page by page, almost every page was densely written.In the report sheet, there are not only a large number of academic terms, but also many data operations, mathematical geometric figures, statistical diagrams, structural diagrams, chemical equations and laws of physics.

Liu Xing didn't read the content on the report carefully, because he couldn't understand it at all. This identification report was like a heavenly book, with piles of data, and the complexity far exceeded Liu Xing's imagination.

After turning through dozens of pages in a row, Liu Xing was a little dizzy, so he turned directly to the last page of the report, frowned slightly, and started to turn forward again. After turning through more than ten pages, he realized that something was wrong. Jump back to the first page and turn back.

Seeing Liu Xing tossing back and forth like this, Professor Wu Guokun asked strangely: "Mr. Liu, what are you looking for?"

Liu Xing pointed to the 827-page report and asked, "Where is the appraisal conclusion written?"

There are so many pages in this report, all of which are detailed analysis of the novel. Liu Xing searched for it for a long time, but he didn't see the conclusion of the novel's identification.

Professor Wu Guokun smiled and said, "The appraisal result is written on page 824, which is the third last page."

Liu Xing immediately turned to page 824 of the report, took a closer look, and saw this sentence written at the bottom of the page:

"[Comprehensive evaluation]: After repeated appraisals by the expert group of the center, it is confirmed that "Book Tomb Notes" is a two-star novel."

Liu Xing heaved a long sigh of relief, finally found the identification conclusion, it was really hard work!

Looking at the book appraisal report in his hand, Liu Xing secretly rejoiced that when he used the book eye to appraise novels, he could directly read the appraisal results without detailed process analysis.

If Shuyan can also detect such a large amount of novel data, Liu Xing's head will not be overwhelmed by the information flow?
"Mr. Liu, congratulations!" Professor Wu Guokun said with a smile, "You are so lucky that you actually found a two-star novel from an ordinary novel. The probability of such a chance is less than one in three thousand. !"

"Yeah." Liu Xing was neither salty nor bland.

"Why is your reaction so calm?" Professor Wu Guokun asked strangely, "This is very rare, don't you feel surprised?"

"Hehe." Liu Xing didn't know how to answer, so he smiled copingly. He knew the novel was two-star the night before, and he had been pleasantly surprised day and night, but now he really couldn't be surprised.

Wu Guokun further explained: "Your book "Notes on the Tomb" is quite remarkable. It is a novel with a network structure. The plot of ordinary novels is usually linear, but the plot of this novel is network-shaped. The 18 plot lines are intertwined, criss-crossing and developing at the same time, and a hidden plot line is born through the summoning structure. This is the first time I have seen such a complex structure, and it can be regarded as an advanced way of writing the plot flow!"

Liu Xing was not interested in the network structure, summoning structure, and plot flow at all. He went straight to the point: "How much is this "Book Tomb Notes" worth?"

"I just wanted to discuss this matter with you." Professor Wu Guokun said, ""Notes on Tombs" belongs to tomb-robbing novels. There are very few novels in this category in our country, and the quality is not high. So far, the highest level of tomb-robbing novels has only reached One star. But your "Tomb Notes" has reached two stars. This is the first two-star tomb robbery novel in the country. Its value is much higher than ordinary two-star novels. If you sell If so, the price is at least 10 yuan."

"10 yuan?"

Liu Xing frowned slightly. The price was so-so and acceptable. At the same time, he suddenly thought of Huang Caiyun, the proprietress of Caiyun Bookstore.

When I was at the bookstore yesterday, Huang Caiyun once told Liu Xing that a two-star tomb robbery novel is worth at least 10 yuan, and her valuation is exactly the same as that of Professor Wu Guokun. It seems that Huang Caiyun's vision is quite accurate.

"Of course, 10 yuan is only the most conservative estimate, and the final result should exceed this price." Professor Wu Guokun asked with concern, "There should be a total of eight copies of this set of "Book Tomb Notes", and you only applied for the first copy. Do you have the other seven books in your hand?"

Liu Xing shook his head: "I only have one copy."

A slightly disappointed expression passed over Wu Guokun's eyebrows, and he said regretfully: "It's a pity, if I can collect all eight copies of "Book Tomb Notes", this set of novels will probably fetch a sky-high price."

"Exorbitant price?" Liu Xing asked, "How much is that?"

Professor Wu Guokun introduced: "Last night, an archaeological team discovered another book tomb in Yufeng Mountain. Tomb-robbing novels will definitely attract a wave of hot sales. This set of "Book Tomb Notes" is the first two-star tomb-robbing novel in the country." , if the eight copies are complete, at least it can be sold at a sky-high price of more than 800 million."

"800 million!"

Liu Xing's heart skipped a beat, this number sounds really easy to imagine.He has also been looking for the other seven "Book Tomb Notes", but unfortunately, the sea of ​​books is so vast, how easy is it to find seven novels?
The origin of this set of "Book Tomb Notes" is unknown, even the author is unknown, and there is no way to find out.

In fact, Liu Xing also has a few sets of novels that can sell for sky-high prices. The "Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "Book and Sword Enmity Record", "Huanhua Washing Sword Record" and "Dragon Babu" hidden under his bed Well, any set of novels can be worth millions if bought.

However, these novels were all brought out of the coffin, and it would be too risky to put them up for auction, so Liu Xing decided to keep them and read them slowly.

"Mr. Liu, I don't know if you plan to collect this "Book Tomb Notes" for yourself, or for a public auction?"

"Public auction." Liu Xing did not hesitate.

"If it is going to be auctioned publicly, then a licensing agreement needs to be signed."

Led by the waitress, Liu Xing and Professor Wu Guokun came to the information desk in the hall together and signed an agreement for the authorized auction of "Book Tomb Notes".

In Huaxia Kingdom, people who look for star novels from waste books are called "book hunters".Because it is very difficult to find star-rated novels, in order to encourage citizens to search for books, once the book-hunters find star-rated novels, they can have the same copyright as the author of the novel.

The author of "Book Tomb Notes" is unknown, so Liu Xing is the sole copyright owner of this novel, and he can auction the novel.

The book testing center has established a cooperative relationship with the auction house, and the novels of the book testing center can be sold directly through the auction house, and the final proceeds are divided according to the ratio of 1:2:7.

Auction house 1, book testing center 2, seller 7.

This share ratio is still very cost-effective for ordinary sellers, because the authority of the book testing center and the network resources of the auction house can help a novel get the highest price.If the seller sells it privately, the price may be several percent or even several times lower.

"Mr. Liu, you have signed the auction authorization agreement. Once the auction time is confirmed, we will notify you in time." Wu Guokun explained, "According to the agreement, the Book Testing Center needs to pay you a deposit of 10 yuan. Give me the bank card number, and the money will be transferred to your card immediately."

……

A few minutes later, Liu Xing and Liu Shiming walked out of the Jianshu Building together. When they came out, their bank cards already had an extra 10 yuan.

Walking on the novel street, Liu Shiming was full of joy, not because "Notes from the Tomb" made 10 yuan, but because Liu Xing's dementia did not recur at all, and it was just a false alarm in the afternoon.

"Ah Xing, how did you know that "Notes on the Tomb" is a two-star novel?" Liu Shiming couldn't help asking curiously.

Liu Xing lied and said: "When I bought this "Book Tomb Notes" in junior high school, I already knew it was a two-star novel. I originally wanted to keep this novel and take it out when I was going to marry a wife in the future. For money..."

"Marry a wife?" Liu Shiming covered her mouth and smiled, "You have been thinking about marrying a wife since you were in junior high school?"

"It's normal. Successful people set big goals from an early age."

"Really? What is your goal?"

"My goal... is to find a goal first." Pause, "By the way, sister, are you tired? Why don't you go home first, I want to go to the bookstore and buy some reading theory books."

"It's okay, I'll go with you."
