National Tide 1980.

Chapter 121

In the capital city in January, water can be sprinkled to form ice, which is the season of the twelfth lunar month.

And the closer this day is to the New Year's Eve, the more the wind is whistling, piercing into people's clothes like a small knife.

In addition, the winter in the capital is almost always gray, as if it can't be dispersed, and the sun is never seen.

The trees at the entrance of the Stamp Headquarters are all bare, shaking their heads with the wind, almost non-stop.

This made the freezing capital even colder.

But it happened in such a situation.

Even the stamp dealers in the "small market" are shy with the cold, and have to jump a few times after standing for a while.

But Ning Weimin didn't seem to know the cold at all.

On the various stalls with postal albums, he wandered around one by one, leaving behind his figure of investigating.

"Dude, do you have a ticket? High price!"

"Brother, do you want to buy or sell, let's talk about it?"

"Qi Baishi miniature sheet, Qi Baishi miniature sheet, two yuan and six transfers, this is the only one!"

"Kite sika deer plus lotus, ancient Chinese scientists, who doesn't have it, please ask me to make it up!"

"Brothers, do you have the galloping horse from the year before last? What about Journey to the West last year? Hey...hey...don't go, let's talk about it, buy it at a high price!"

In fact, why is Ning Weimin so interested?Does he really not know how cold it is?

Hey, not for anything else, mainly because he really enjoys hearing such yelling.

He also experienced the feeling that Kang Shuode said in "Ghost Market", "I don't want to leave after smelling the business here".

On the other hand, he is actually scanning the goods with a professional eye and observing the market.

And soon, he discovered an obvious good thing.

Dare to feel the current market, the new commemorative stamps and special stamps are the most popular.

Only a few people will pay attention to the "older" commemorative stamps and stamps from the "movement" period.

Most people are not very interested in Qing Dynasty stamps, Republic of China stamps and liberated area stamps.

So when he first got started, Ning Weimin went for the high-tech.

He carefully looked through the stamp albums of those stamp dealers, and if he saw an old stamp, he would take it down decisively and never let it go.

To be honest, buying goods at this time is really a rare enjoyment, just like picking up money everywhere.

Because good stamps can be seen almost everywhere, and many varieties have not received due attention, they are called "halogen big" in the words of the capital.

No, I just flipped through a dozen postage albums in a row.

Ning Weimin found a ticket for a big dragon with a broad side and three tickets for a small dragon with bare teeth.

Six Japanese Beaulieu tickets and four London Beaulieu tickets with watermarks.

There is also a whole set of "Chairman Wen 10's Latest Instructions" and two sets of "Wen 1 Invincible Red Thought Long Live" stamps.

In addition, there are more than 30 scattered tickets of these two "wen" series, and more than [-] scattered tickets of liberated areas.

It's really not in vain to come here.

Especially because the stamp dealers these days are not professional, and the prices are quite cheap.

You know, there are two types of stamp dealers in the early days.

One is the unemployed, real idlers who spend all day here.

The other type is those who have a formal job in a factory or government office, and they take a cold break to do a second job.

But no matter whether they are unemployed or employed, there is absolutely no idea of ​​making a fortune simply by reselling stamps.

The greedy master just wants to earn two tobacco and alcohol money by doing this.

More people, in fact, just want to sell the excess stamps in their hands.

Then use the proceeds to buy the stamps you like or lack.

This is called "postal service".

Speaking of it, it is actually similar to Gu Si'er who likes to raise fish and wants to earn some feed money by selling fish.

However, at this time, the wage income level is still very low, and the Chinese people must first consider the social environment of food, drink and clothing when they are paid wages.

These people poke here every day, if they can earn a few bucks, they are already very satisfied.

This can be called not having seen the world, or it can be said that poverty limits imagination.

In addition, after all, this informal small market has just been formed, and it is an era of information occlusion.

Even the stamp dealers don't have enough stamp knowledge, and they don't have much experience in doing business.

How can this be compared with Ning Weimin?

who is he?

That's a professional postman!

An expert who has spent 13 years stamping stamps in the information age!

Not only the stamps I have seen can be seen in the sea, but I also have a comprehensive understanding of the development history of the stamp industry.

He is also very familiar with the scheming and conspiracy of people in this industry.

Regardless of knowledge, experience, or even means and funding level, they are all enough to crush these amateur small fish and shrimp.

It's definitely not bragging, Ning Weimin's easy trick is enough for these stamp dealers.

What trick?

Throwing stones for directions.

To put it bluntly, what stamps Ning Weimin wanted to buy, he didn't directly say to buy them.

Instead, he pointed to the ticket he liked and asked the price first.

The reason is very simple, the stamp dealer thought he had goods and wanted to sell them, so the purchase price offered to him could not be high.

Hearing the price, Ning Weimin retorted and wanted to buy the ticket from the other party.

Wouldn't that person be trapped by the price he just said?

At this time, it is no longer possible to ask for a high price, and there is no reason why it cannot be justified.

Hey, so that's it, it doesn't look simple, but it works extremely well.

Whoever Ning Weimin asked was dumbfounded.

Because for a moment, the brains of inexperienced people couldn't react at all, and the answer came out of instinct.

When I am dumb, it is too late to regret, and I have to make a choice between losing face and making less money.

So in the end, even if it is such a famous type of ticket as the Dalong ticket, anyone who collects stamps knows that it is very precious.

But Ning Weimin still only spent one hundred and two, and took it down.

The two Xiaolong tickets and Panlong tickets are even cheaper.

The stamp dealer himself mistook the Xiaolong ticket for the Beaulieu ticket, and that person did not know that the Japanese version of the Beaulieu ticket was a wrong version.

Ning Weimin ate them all at the average price of two yuan a piece.

As for other "Wen 1", "Wen 10" series and liberated area tickets.

Loose tickets cost an average of [-] cents a piece, and almost all sets were won for five yuan a set.

In short, Ning Weimin bought it without blinking an eye, and his heart was filled with happiness.

Although on the surface, except that Longpiao is a rare variety that can really command a high price, it has been recognized by both Chinese and foreign countries and can maintain its prosperity for a long time.

The rest of the ticket types he bought will only be worth tens of thousands after full value mining in 2020.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the appreciation space of the stamps he invested in is only tens of thousands of times, which is not a great deal.

If you compare it with the hundreds of thousands and millions of increases he spent on calligraphy and paintings, it's more like he suffered a big loss and took a foolish look.

But the account really can't be calculated like this.
