Reborn King of Marketing

Chapter 210 Mysterious Manuscript

Hearing this, Zhang Xuebing couldn't help but frown. Sure enough, there were other conditions!

"Boss Qin, to be honest, I'm really interested in this store. I don't know what your conditions are, so I might as well tell you directly!"

Mr. Qin looked at the two of them and smiled.

"I love books as much as my life, so I opened this small shop. I usually communicate a lot with colleagues and sell goods. Secondly, this time I went abroad to see my grandson. I am over 70 years old and I am afraid I will never come back.

I had no choice but to sell this property, but I couldn’t bear to sell it at a low price, and I didn’t want to sell it to someone who didn’t love books, so I came up with a condition. Anyone who can meet my condition will get this small store plus the goods for free.

, if you are not satisfied, even if you move to Jinshan, I don’t want to sell it!”

Zhang Xuebing understood that Mr. Qin couldn't leave his hometown, and he couldn't bear to leave this store, so he found this reason as an excuse to stay for a while.

When there is a rush over there, he will definitely sell the store and leave.

However, the time is running out, and Zhang Xuebing doesn't want to wait indefinitely.

At this time, Xiao Chenchen asked softly, "Old man, you have to tell me what the conditions are!"

Second Master Qin calmly took a small bag wrapped in brown paper from the table and said with a complicated expression.

"As long as you can prove that you are book lovers, that's fine. How to prove it? Here is a color-printed ancient book that they sent to me from abroad. No one can understand the words and pictures in it. No matter who you are, as long as you crack it

The above content is given to me by this small shop!"

There are tens of millions of words in this world, and ancient civilizations are as numerous as stars. There are countless fonts of words born in China’s five thousand years of history. Who dares to say that he can recognize all the words? This is simply a joke!

Zhang Xuebing was helpless at the old man's weird thoughts and psychology, and had no time to accompany him to study these historical mysteries, so he said immediately.

"Old man, you're trying to force someone into a difficult situation. If you don't want to sell the store, just say so, and we'll have to look for someone else!"

The old man rubbed the brown paper bag and sighed, "It's indeed a bit much, but my obsession is not over yet, and I really can't sleep or eat well. I'm afraid the two of you came here in vain!"

Sometimes people become more stubborn as they get older, Zhang Xuebing and Xiao Chenchen looked at each other, shook their heads and said.

He didn't want to waste any more time, "Then I can only wish the old gentleman to realize his long-cherished wish soon, and we'll say goodbye!"

As she said this, she took Xiao Chenchen's hand and stood up to go downstairs. At this moment, she suddenly said.

"It doesn't matter if we take a look. Even if we can't crack it, we should learn a lot!"

Mr. Qin laughed and said, "Okay, it's a photocopy anyway, so you two can just read it!"

As he spoke, he carefully opened the brown paper bag, revealing a waterproof plastic bag, and then opened the plastic bag to reveal a tinfoil bag...

The three-layer packaging inside and outside shows how much this old gentleman cherishes this photocopy.

Finally the packaging was removed, revealing a stack of copy paper.

Zhang Xuebing and Xiao Chenchen looked at the copy paper curiously.

As Lao Qin turned the pages, the content above appeared page by page.

I saw that it was filled with various patterns and weird words.

These patterns include flowers, trees, weird beasts, stars and galaxies, a large number of naked women, and some machinery.

The writing is even more weird. It doesn't look like Latin letters, nor cuneiform writing, nor Chinese square writing. It makes people look simple and mysterious, but they are completely confused.

Xiao Chenchen shook her head after looking at one of them. After turning over the last one, she smiled bitterly.

"It's not in English, French, Italian, and it's not written in Southeast Asia. It seems that this book needs to be studied by language experts. There is nothing we can do!"

Mr. Qin also smiled bitterly, "I have read countless books and know seven or eight kinds of characters, but I still can't understand the meaning. I guess the language experts will be in vain. I will need someone who can professionally crack passwords!"

Xiao Chenchen nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr., for showing me such a magical ancient book. We have learned a lot. If Mr., you still want to sell this store, please be sure to contact us. This is my business card!"

As she spoke, she respectfully handed over a business card that exuded the fragrance of orchid.

Mr. Qin took the business card and said, "Definitely, if I can't find the right person, you two will be my first choice buyers!"

He stood up and respectfully saw off the guests.

At this moment, Zhang Xuebing suddenly said, "Although I can't decipher the content of this book, I do know its origin and several conjectures about its contents. I don't know if the old gentleman is interested!"

Xiao Chenchen exclaimed, "How did you know?"

Mr. Qin's face changed and he said solemnly, "Young man, if you know something, you know it, and if you don't know it, you don't know it. I don't like people talking nonsense!"

Zhang Xuebing smiled calmly and said, "The old man never mentioned the name of this book since he took it out. I think the old man should know it. If I name it now, does it prove that I know something about it?"

Mr. Qin's eyes flashed, and he nodded and said, "Yes, I knew it, but I didn't mention it, so you can tell me. If you are really right, I will admit that you are qualified!"

"The Voynich manuscript!" Zhang Xuebing said loudly, "What the old man just showed is a photocopy of a part of the Voynich manuscript collected by the Beinecke Library of Yale University. Am I right!"

Xiao Chenchen and Mr. Qin were stunned and stunned.

Mr. Qin's face turned red, he gasped and grabbed Zhang Xuebing's arm, and after a long while he said excitedly.

"That's right, that's right. What you said is absolutely correct. Quickly explain to me what's going on here!"

Few people had heard of this manuscript in this era.

But in the era of Zhang Xuebing's rebirth, it was a book that went viral on the Internet.

This book was purchased from a church by a bookseller named Voynich and later sold to Yale University, so it is called the Voynich Manuscript.

The illustrations and text above are different from any species and text on the earth, so it caused a sensation for a while, and countless philologists, biologists, and cryptographers have been studying it for many years.

Although the above contents were not deciphered in the end, some people even said that this is some kind of magic book or a book of supernatural powers. If you understand it, you can unlock human secrets, etc.

However, two reliable conjectures have been made public. The most likely is that this is a hoax, and the other is internal information of a mysterious female sect, whose research value is useless.

Zhang Xuebing spoke eloquently, and Xiao Chenchen and Qin Erye had wonderful expressions on their faces.

After a long while, he finished talking about the origin and conjecture of this manuscript, and finally said softly.

"This thing, which satisfies people's curiosity, is actually of little value. I advise the old man to focus on studying our Chinese civilization. Maybe we can make some achievements in the future!"

Mr. Qin was stunned at first, and then his expression became bald, "Brother, where did you get the explanation of this book?"

Xiao Chenchen was even more curious and cast a surprised look at him.
