National Tide 1980

Although the postal market in Beijing has existed since the 1950s, it started in the late 1970s.

But by the mid-1980s, it was still not possible to cultivate a few capable postal dealers.

After all, they are all half-measures, starting from scratch, and no one is better than the other.

Just like Lenovo during this period.

When Liu Chuanzhi was founded in 1984, he only had 200,000 yuan in capital, and his first transaction was to resell color TV sets.

Because he lacked business experience and was deceived by scammers, he struggled when he first entered the business world, causing a loss of 140,000 yuan.

But thirty years later, Lenovo is already a world-class giant in the PC industry.

In the Republic, since private ownership was basically eliminated before the reform and opening up, almost all industries began to be empty handed after the reform and opening up.

All postal merchants, without exception, started by setting up street stalls.

Throughout the 1980s, postal merchants across the country were accumulating capital bit by bit and growing their wealth.

So Hardman, Dashuai, Sister Wang, Yin Yue, and Lin Xiaofen, the five of them were drinking and talking over a pleasant meal at the Dazhong Restaurant near the Peace Arch.

The actual significance was far beyond the understanding of everyone present at the time.

Because this can be said to be the meal that started the transformation of several stamp dealers in Beijing into official stamp dealers.

Although at this time they have not yet received official recognition, nor do they have a formal business license, or even a legal business premises.

But their funds and mentality to participate in speculation have become increasingly mature.

Not only did they take the initiative to form an interest alliance equivalent to a junior guild, they also formulated basic industry rules.

And they also know how to take advantage of opportunities to spread news and work together to make markets.

Although they have no sentimental feelings about the stamp market, they may not understand stamp collecting at all, or they may not be interested in stamp collecting at all.

I don't know anything about the adhesive, face value, secret markings, design, printing, or perforations.

Any stamp is a bargaining chip in their eyes, a tool for making money.

But they are naturally very keen on market changes, and they are willing to spend energy studying prices, pondering market psychology, and exploring the trends and appreciation potential of stamp products.

They have keen vision, sharp techniques, and clear goals. There is basically no stamp that they are reluctant to sell.

This is just like Wenzhou people speculating in houses all over the country in the future. They will never study how the house is built or what materials it uses. They only care about the location and price.

Therefore, when it comes to making money by speculating on stamps, big investors like them do have an advantage over ordinary people, and they deserve to be at a higher level in the food chain of the postal market.

The market feedback quickly proved that the alliance they formed was relatively successful and they cooperated well with each other.

You know, this time it's not just Hardman and the Marshal who are noisily and openly creating momentum in the market.

Sister Wang hides in the shadows to lobby other big players, and her role in fanning the flames cannot be underestimated.

And Yin Yue and Lin Xiaofen made their followers see clearly through their actual actions of making large sums of money.

This in turn caused groups to follow suit, and the signal that the postal market was about to rise was conveyed point by point to small and medium-sized retail investors in the market.

This time, there are basically no dead ends in this fascinating cooperation.

As a result, the postal market is getting better, and optimism can easily burn like a raging fire in the market.

In the eyes of some stamp enthusiasts, in the last two days at the end of October, the stamp prices at the Peace Arch Post Market were almost like magic, and they were working hard to improve every moment.

After finishing the morning surge, it started to rise again in the afternoon, without even taking a breather.

Even varieties that are not favored by everyone can occasionally jump up, giving holders an unexpected surprise.

It seems like time has returned to the best time of the postal market in September.

As for October 30, the postal market was heating up again, and the market sentiment could be said to have completely exploded.

On that day, the Peony Pavilion souvenir sheet was successfully released, triggering a queue of tens of thousands of people.

The Peace Arch Postal Market is like a carnival.

The prices of all varieties on the market, including souvenir sheets, commemorative postage covers, low-end stamps, especially zodiac stamps, have skyrocketed.

Compared with the beginning of the month, after hitting the bottom twice quickly, the price of rat tickets has exceeded the price ceiling of 50 yuan.

Not only did Lady Pictures completely recover its lost ground, it even rose by one dollar more than before the National Day plunge, setting a new price record.

However, these are still nothing, because the performance of the Peony Pavilion souvenir sheet itself is even more eye-catching!

The face value of this small sheet was two yuan. No one expected that the price would double when it was first issued!

After people queued up to buy from the post office sales department, they found out when they went out that someone holding a sign was willing to take it away for four yuan.

This has never happened before.

Obviously, The Peony Pavilion was more popular than the Lady Pictures released at the beginning of the year and the 23rd Olympic Games released in the middle of the year.

It goes without saying that Chinese people like to swarm people when they do anything, let alone bending down to pick up money like this.

As a result, not only did more and more people come to queue up to buy stamps after hearing the news, but the stamp sellers at the entrance of the market also fell into a scramble.

No one was willing to lag behind. As soon as the sealed Peony Pavilion came out of the post office, it was intercepted and hyped outside the door.

Sister Wang, who has long been prepared to participate and has set her sights on the Peony Pavilion, claims to be a small-scale Zhang professional, and of course she is not far behind.

She mobilized all her connections, spent all her funds, and grabbed goods from others in the sales department no matter the cost.

After that, some people soon recognized the Crown car parked across the road.

I remember that it seemed to be the one that collected rats at the entrance of the Workers' Stadium at the beginning of the year.

And these people next to the car happened to be the first people to display the "Peony Pavilion for Four Dollars" sign today.

As a result, words such as "When the Crown Car comes, the Peony Pavilion will definitely increase twenty times" began to spread throughout the market.

There is no doubt that reaching consensus is the biggest opportunity in the speculative market.

Once any stamp product attracts everyone's attention and there is a reason for the increase that everyone is willing to believe, it will inevitably start to skyrocket without restraint.

In this way, under the spotlight caused by a combination of factors, and under the psychological cues deliberately created by some thoughtful people,

The price of Peony Pavilion has skyrocketed!

Started to rise at an unprecedented rate!

At two o'clock in the afternoon that day, all the Peony Pavilions in stock of the Peace Arch Philatelic Company were sold out.

When the sales department closed, the selling price of the Peony Pavilion souvenir sheet in the postal market was as high as seven yuan.

That doubled in one day!

Two hundred and fifty percent profit!

Compared with the bank's one-year deposit interest rate of 5.76% during the same period, this is not only amazing, but also represents too much temptation!

Such a high profit rate is undoubtedly like a huge magnet, strongly attracting people to flock to the stamp market and pursue it diligently.

Therefore, in the first week of November, the speculation in the postal market became more and more intense.

The main funds in the market began to dominate the market, and concentrated their forces to defeat the varieties they liked.

Sector market trends are emerging, and dark horse varieties emerge one after another.

Whoever had something in his hand started shouting something.

All kinds of stamps went up in response. In the entire postal market, there were so many people with their noses pressed against their noses and their legs touching their legs.

Of course, the Peony Pavilion souvenir sheet must be the fastest-growing leading variety.

Although there is no craziness on the day of issuance, the price continues to rise almost every day at as little as one or two yuan and as much as two or three yuan. A week later, the souvenir sheet cost as much as 20 yuan.

But there are still no signs of stopping, and it seems that the prediction of a twenty-fold increase will be realized in one fell swoop.

As for the popular restaurant near the postal market that had been deserted for a long time, with the start of the market, it has finally returned to full capacity.

The big players in the postal market are very busy during the day, but have nothing to do at night.

I usually like to get together, drink some wine, chat, talk about the latest news in the postal market.

For the first time, everyone suffered a huge loss, had no mood, and did not have the financial ability.

Now as the market improves, everyone is obviously starting to regain their strength, and their pockets are a lot better.

The most direct evidence that Yin Yue felt was that the cigarettes smoked by Hardman and the Marshal had returned to the previous level.

So this public restaurant has become a small arena.

The postal dealers who make a living from stamps are in groups of three or four, drinking some wine and eating some side dishes.

Chat about the day's business, and even make love at home.

Outsiders cannot appreciate the joy of being in their own circle.

Something has gone up in the postal market today, and something has dropped. So-and-so cut a melon today, or so-and-so got into a fight with so-and-so.

In short, the scenes that played out in the postal market during the day will be played out again in the tavern at night through the mouths of these people.

After drinking a bottle of Xiaoer, I started to feel dizzy and there were too many people talking nonsense.

People have two skins, and the stories they tell are very exciting, so they are often more real than the truth. You can't help but believe it.

Yin Yue actually doesn't object to coming here. Although she is a girl with a bit of a mysophobia, she can indeed hear news here that ordinary people cannot.

Just like she heard here on October 30th.

"Do you know? The Peony Pavilion costs seven yuan today!"

"What's seven yuan? Old Huang Li, just now, when I was here, Lao Wen next to me asked for eight yuan to transfer a hundred souvenir sheets, but the bearded person opposite accepted it without saying a word."

"Then do you think this thing can still go up? I've never seen anything like this. It tripled on the first day of release!"

"What does 'can it go up' mean? Can we remove the word 'can'? I tell you, it is a certainty, and it will definitely not stop! I think the Peony Pavilion is at least forty! If it is lower than this number, I will definitely not Take action!"

"I'll go, your numbers are too evil, forty? I'll take action for ten yuan."

"Well, you can just sell it to me tomorrow. I don't know what you think. Anyway, the black crown is here today, and I am firmly optimistic about the price of the Peony Pavilion..."

"What's the black crown?"

"You don't know, when the workers' body sold rat tickets, that black crown drove up to the door and collected the whole page. It used to be ten yuan per page, but now how much the rat tickets cost. Just do the math!"

"Here, is this true? What you said is amazing!"

"Believe it or not, I heard that this Crown Car is from a Hong Kong city, and he brought one million to the mainland to speculate on stamps!"

"Are you bragging? One million, and you won't be able to send stamps to the sky!"

"I'm not bragging! Do the math, what kind of stamps does the owner of this car collect that are not worthy of heaven's praise? I saw at the Peony Pavilion that he collected at least 20,000 stamps, which means he earned hundreds of thousands a day! Including what I earned from rat tickets, I might have two million in hand now."

"Isn't that right? Why did I hear that this is not the case?"

Someone raised an objection. "Lao Liu next to me heard from the big players in the market that the crown car was driven by a person from Shanghai and Hainan. His ancestor was the stamp king of Shanghai in the past. I heard that there was a woman following him! That one with a twisted waist!"

As soon as they heard that there was a role for a woman, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up and the discussion became even more heated.

All around, the temperature immediately rose five degrees.

However, the focus of the conversation was seriously distorted and began to be filled with obscene remarks that were unpalatable to the ears.

Yin Yue didn't want to hear it anymore, but her curiosity couldn't be let go.

She couldn't help but wonder, whose car is that black Crown car?

If the person sitting inside really did such a grand thing. What kind of person is he?
