National Tide 1980

Laughing is about laughing, making trouble is about making trouble, and after the joke is over, we have to get back to the topic.

If you just rely on the laughter coming from the private room in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, many people who don't know the real situation may think that there are a few carefree young people in this private room who are from well-off families and rely on themselves to have a good father. Eat and drink indiscriminately.

But in fact, this meal will actually determine the trend of the capital postal market in the next one or two years, and even the national postal market.

After all, in this era, when most domestic postal market speculators still don't know what "making a banker" means, Ning Weimin and others have become a powerful "strong banker" gang.

In particular, the postal market in Beijing affects the whole country. They have a special geographical advantage. Isn't it easy to make arbitrage from it?

Even at the work meeting of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, I am afraid that the grasp of the stamp market is not as accurate and powerful as the gossips of a few of them.

"Thank you for your hard work. Since I went to Japan, whether it is my family's affairs or our joint venture, I have always relied on your care to maintain it. To all of you, I am really grateful. But in this case, I am afraid it will still be needed. For a period of time, within two or three years, my focus will probably still be on the Japanese side, so I’m really sorry that I have to continue to rely on everyone’s help. Of course, there is one good news, that is, I guess. The popularity of the postal market is beginning to recover. What is the biggest fear of stamp speculators? There are too many goods but too little money. This is how the market collapsed last time. However, now the authorities are starting to notice this and are taking the initiative to reduce the issuance. This is heaven. It's a great thing. In addition, the prices of everything are rising now, and the money in everyone's hands is becoming less and less valuable. They are definitely eager to have some speculative opportunities to make some extra money, so I am quite sure. The postal market will be booming again in two years. What do you think? Are you interested in working harder to earn his vote?"

Ning Weimin put down the wine glass in his hand, said a few polite words, and then brought up the topic straight to the point.

He knew these people well and knew that they were all his loyal followers and would not have any objections at all.

Therefore, the function of these previous words is purely to attract others and clarify the logical relationship of your own judgment. The focus lies on the following.

As expected, Xiao Tao was the first to say, "Brother Ning, you are out of touch when you say that. I'm sorry to say that I'm sorry. You always take care of us like this. Without you, my Xiao Tao wouldn't be where I am today. You, just Like Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, we are the ones who make big decisions. As for how to do it, you can tell me where to go. I won't mind. "

Luo Guangliang's reaction was more realistic.

"Wei Min, Xiao Tao is right, please don't say that. Your affairs in Japan are important, and each of us knows it in our hearts. Our capital is a small pond compared to Tokyo. At present, you can only do big things in Japan. , use your abilities better. Anyway, you can leave it to us in Beijing. I can’t say that I will definitely do the things you asked me to do, but I will try my best to do it, no matter how hard it is. If you don't have money, let's not talk about it. We are just doing something for you. Why do we care about so much? What kind of people have we become? Besides, what is the use of asking for so much money? We can’t spend all our income just by holding on to this tricycle business with Xiaotao.”

Ning Weimin was naturally moved by the love between these two people, as if a warm current was flowing into him.

He completely believed in their sincerity, but he couldn't really agree to it.

Don't be too independent in anything. It will not only disgrace your friends, but also destroy your character. It will also damage your long-term interests.

After all, "soft, hard and thick" is the way to control people, and sharing the benefits is the basis for long-term cooperation.

So he said, "Okay, let's just say whatever we have, and don't talk to anyone else. I won't be polite to you. I'll make the decision and you will do your part. As for you, you have to get the benefits you deserve. If If everyone does the work, the benefits will go to me alone, which is meaningless. Let me reiterate, this time, we are all working together. What I want is for everyone to make a fortune together. We will do bigger things in the future. Woolen cloth."

As for Yin Yue, he has a better understanding of Ning Weimin and knows how to have fun.

Seeing that Luo Guangliang was about to say something else, she stopped him on behalf of Ning Weimin and made a more pertinent suggestion.

"Oh, don't be polite. Third brother is kind, and Ning brother is angry. No one is wrong. But let me tell you, just because we are all on our own, there is no need to waste time on this issue. Who has more? Take some, and whoever takes less will decide it later. Let’s discuss how to get things done first. It’s not too late to divide things up after we have the benefits.”

In one sentence, she showed her grandeur, and now all three men cheered for her.

Next, Yin Yue, who was praised for having a smile on her face, became more and more bright-eyed, white-toothed, and cute.

She simply went straight to the point and started asking Ning Weimin about practical issues.

"Brother Ning, I agree with you. After hearing what you said, I also think it is possible. Then this time, are we still speculating on zodiac tickets? I bought 4,000 copies of the 1986 Tiger and this year's Rabbit as you requested. But the price has dropped. This year's Rabbit has issued 150 million pieces. Although it is less than last year's Tiger, this number is still very large. Why do I feel that it is not easy to speculate? And the number of rats and cows I have is still far from the number you require? If we really want to speculate, which zodiac ticket should we speculate? And what should I do with the pandas I collected?"

Her question was indeed necessary.

You know, because of the market in 1985, Ning Weimin intervened, resulting in too fierce speculation on zodiac tickets.

Although he made a lot of money and provided financial support for his gold rush in Japan, there were also many sequelae.

First of all, the circulation of rats and cows was much higher than the original history.

As a result, after the market crashed, the prices of these two zodiac stamps continued to decline, and now they have already fallen below the face value, which is also a situation that has never happened before.

So even though Yin Yue and others would buy monkey stamps, dog stamps, chicken stamps, and pig stamps as long as they saw them according to Ning Weimin's requirements, it should have played a stabilizing role in the declining rat and ox prices, but such a large plate could not be pulled at all.

It should be sold out.

Secondly, because the market for zodiac stamps in 1985 was too hot, the issuance of tigers and rabbits was also expanded.

This further dragged down the sales of new zodiac stamps and aggravated the current polarization of the market for zodiac stamps.

In the current market, a single golden monkey costs 200 yuan, a chicken costs 90 yuan, a dog costs 55 yuan, and a pig costs 20 yuan.

Then there is a direct shortage of rats and cows, all of which are around the face value.

Tigers and rabbits are even worse, and a whole sheet can be bought from private hands for 5 yuan.

Many stamp shops cannot sell them.

To put it bluntly, starting with the rat, the zodiac stamps that were issued in large quantities were a bit ruined.

Finally, according to Ning Weimin's request, Yin Yue also got a lot of pandas. These small sheets and stamps were the "culprits" of the last market crash, so they were extremely unpopular.

Yin Yue originally bought 50,000 goods from Hardman for 20,000 yuan, thinking that it would not fall again. Unexpectedly, the market price is generally 20% to 30% off now, and people are willing to spend a lot of money to sell them.

She thought she had made a bad move and did not get a better price for Ning Weimin, and she really had no confidence in the "panda".

Faced with such a complicated situation, she naturally couldn't understand it and felt that she had no idea where to start.

But Ning Weimin didn't think so. He understood all these situations and never felt out of control.

So he was very straightforward to help her solve the problem. "Of course, we can still speculate on zodiac tickets, but the method is different from the past. We only do monkeys, chickens, dogs, and pigs. It is much easier to push up the prices of these high-end tickets. At the same time, I will tell my colleagues at Pierre Caton to invest money to speculate on rats and cows. Help us sing and carry the sedan chair. As for us, we don't need to waste our energy on zodiac tickets after rats. Just keep enough for the bottom warehouse. In addition, I also plan to get some Japanese-issued zodiac tickets from Japan to see if I can get a share of the domestic market."

Everyone was surprised and asked the same question, "What? Japan also has zodiac tickets?"

"Of course, the Japanese are our grandchildren in culture. Not only do they exist, but they were also issued the earliest, starting in the 1950s and 1960s. The key is that they are cheap and in large quantities. After all, there are too many investment products in Japan, and no one cares about stamps. Once issued, hundreds of millions of stamps are issued. Stamps issued a few years ago can still be bought at the post office, and no one raises the price. I have seen that a single Japanese zodiac stamp is only a few dozen yen, which is equivalent to the price of our miniature sheets if converted according to the exchange rate. I plan to get a few hundred versions of monkeys, dogs, chickens, and pigs and mail them back to China. There is no tax on this thing, and it is convenient to go through the post office. You can try to sell it first. If someone likes it, we will buy it in large quantities. "

(Japanese monkey stamps)

Ning Weimin's answer made everyone excited all of a sudden.

They are no strangers to stamp speculation, and now they all understand a basic truth: the scarcer the stamp, the easier it is to make money.

These Japanese stamps are in large quantities and others can't get them. What a good source of goods, doesn't it mean that they control a category of stamps without spending much money?

Especially the category where Japanese zodiac farts overlap with the popular domestic zodiac ticket varieties, this thing naturally makes people feel good.

Ning Weimin did this, which is equivalent to opening up a new path in China. If it really succeeds, the "money prospects" will be limitless.

So everyone couldn't help whispering and immediately started communicating about it.

However, this is not Ning Weimin's main goal.

I just heard him say again, "Don't worry. Although stamps are good, they are not as good as souvenir sheets. Why? Because the unit price of souvenir sheets is usually high, and one can be worth a set of stamps. The higher the unit price, the greater the increase, and souvenir sheets are one They come in a box, usually a box of 100 pieces, or a bundle of 100 pieces, all sealed in a small plastic bag. As chips, small sheets are characterized by their small size and high value. The delivery is very convenient for transactions, and it can be carried in a larger bag. This kind of variety is the most suitable for speculation for those of us who want to make money from the postal market, so I decided to exclude the ones in the zodiac tickets. Monkeys, dogs, chickens, and pigs are the four stamps. From now on, the other types of stamps we focus on will be transferred to souvenir sheets. We don’t have to focus on just one or two specific categories. This time we are not making costumes, but sedans. We specialize in low-end small sheets. As long as they are printed in large quantities and have been unsold for a long time, we can buy them. Who is in favor? Who is against it?

By the end of the story, Ning Weimin became more and more excited as he talked about it, and he was already a bit of a drama queen.

Even the famous line from his favorite Tony Leung Ka-fai movie - "Black Gold" came up.

And his words are indeed not in vain. Ideas determine the way out, and ideas are often developed through chatting and learning from each other. Several people were deeply inspired by his words and re-understood the actual meaning of "miniature sheets" and the economic potential behind this kind of thing.

Although Yin Yue, Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao have never thought about it from this perspective, they are all people with rich trading experience.

As long as you put yourself in his shoes, you can intuitively judge that Ning Weimin is right.

When the postal market was at its peak, no one wanted to compete with small-denomination stamps. The easy-to-calculate souvenir sheets were the most popular among speculators, so they were naturally convinced.

Xiao Tao was the first to raise his arms and shout, "I agree, I agree! Brother Ning is my idol. He has studied stamp speculation too deeply. Nothing can escape your eyes. I have really discovered now that those Looking at retail investors who buy stamps, it turns out they are all idiots.

Luo Guangliang also echoed, "Isn't that right? The stamp transaction is inconvenient and the amount is small. In the past, there were people buying and selling ten or eight editions. It only cost one hundred and eighty yuan in total. Where are the boxes of small sheets?" Is it a pleasure to trade? One box is worth 1,800 yuan, so you can earn more. Weimin hit the nail on the head and directly hit the actual demand for stamp speculation. I think this is for those who are still interested in stamps. Sooner or later, I will speculate on small-scale stamps. How can I make money if there are no big players in stamp trading? I agree. Wei Min’s vision is absolutely correct. From now on, small-scale stamps will be the world.”

As for Yin Yue, she not only agreed but also knew how to draw inferences. She smiled and said, "Brother Ning, I understand. If you look at it this way, we can continue to eat panda souvenirs, and we should eat them in large quantities. Just like you said Yes, after all, this thing is easy to speculate on. As long as it has a market value as you said, it doesn't matter. As long as it rises back to its face value, we can make multiple times. I have to say, you are really good. A discerning eye recognizes gold.”

That's right, today's meal was not in vain, today's wine was not in vain, and today's harvest was beyond Yin Yue's imagination.

If the expectation was one foot, then the harvest was one foot. This made her so happy that she picked up the wine glass again.

"With your words, I feel at ease. Come on, Brother Ning, I have to toast you. Thank you for teaching me a lesson and teaching me a lesson. It has taught me to look at the market from another perspective. How to find treasure from waste.”

Ning Weimin was also very happy because of Yin Yue's understanding. This girl is really a smart person. She can understand everything through her head.

So he also picked up the wine glass and simply entrusted Yin Yue with important tasks in public.

"Since you are so excited, you should be responsible for this matter. Third brother and Xiao Tao are responsible for assisting you. When I am not around, it is up to you to decide how to raise funds."

Yin Yue was a little surprised and wanted to refuse, but she didn't expect that Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao had already happily expressed their support.

At this time, Ning Weimin did not allow Yin Yue to push back and finalized the matter.

"Look, everyone trusts you so much, why are you pushing? That's it."

Then he said with great enthusiasm, "Tomorrow, all three of you will go to my place to get money. I have prepared 1.5 million in cash. As for the spare money in your account, we will also invest it. When I come back during the Spring Festival I will give you the next batch of funds. Once this is done, we can really take control of the postal market in Beijing. Come on, everyone, cheers and wish us success soon!"

As the saying goes, "The husband's style is born in the ground, starting from the end of Qingping", I am afraid no one can imagine that the small market that broke out a year later, almost all the main varieties, was just a few people in this private room chatting so casually. Easily settled.
