National Tide 1980.

Chapter 561 "Rats" Incident

1984 was extremely important for reform and opening up.

Because the Republic in this period is in a critical period of replacement of the old and new economic systems.

On the one hand, the purely planned economy has basically completed its due historical mission and is gradually withdrawing from the stage of history.

On the other hand, whether the commodity economy is conducive to the development of national power has just been initially verified by actual practice, and it is far from forming a strong body.

So how to smoothly pass through this alternate period, while continuing to promote the disintegration of the old system without major shocks, has become a major issue that the upper echelon of the country must consider and must face.

Especially before this, the rectification work carried out in the economic field has caused the economy as a whole to become somewhat colder.

This makes the whole country have an urgent desire to speed up the pace of reform.

After all, in this period, people have gained a certain understanding of the splendor, prosperity and prosperity of Western society through film and television dramas, radio, and magazines.

Then everyone is more eager for the modern western life of home appliances, driving a car, and living in a bungalow.

Conversely, they will become more and more tired of living a life that can only be maintained on the food and clothing line.

Although objectively speaking, the reform and opening up has brought many beneficial changes to people's livelihood, but people have become dissatisfied.

Still feeling like something in your life seems long overdue.

Under this special social background, at the beginning of the new year, the "great man" went to Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Xiamen and other places to conduct inspections.

Undoubtedly, it has sent a signal to people to further expand reform and opening up, and pointed out a clear direction for the people of the whole country.

In this way, the wheel of history is doomed to be irreversible. People in daily life realize that the world has changed, and the power of the people is flowing everywhere like a spring.

Soon, breakthrough events occurred frequently in various fields, and the train of change was re-accelerated.

As far as Ning Weimin is concerned, of course he can grasp the general situation more accurately than others, and he is also actively preparing for the battle.

It's just that he was gearing up for the new year and was planning to flex his muscles in the field, but he aimed at the wrong door.

It has nothing to do with the operation of "Altar Palace" or the main clothing business of "Peel-Carton".

It's not even about his craft business and street factories.

In fact, in the main business of the public, he started to withdraw instead, doing nothing.

You know, before the new year, he solved the most terrible cost waste problem of "Altar Palace".

Although some new problems appeared later, his effective way to solve new problems was also to do subtraction.

That is to let the deputy come forward, the less you do, the less troublesome things will be.

In addition, Beishen Kitchen has to wait until the beginning of spring before continuing the interior decoration construction.

So at least until March this year, Ning Weimin thought that he could stop worrying about the "Altar Palace".

In this way, he slapped him directly, and simply handed over the restaurant to Du Yang, who was always looking for a chance to prove his ability.

Even Zhang Shihui was temporarily transferred away by him, and went back to the Tobacco Hotel to save Sister Tan's emergency, and to concentrate on the tobacco and alcohol business that suddenly prospered at the end of the year.

Sure enough, Du Yang was greatly encouraged by this, and worked hard to manage the restaurant in an orderly manner.

For the attitude of the sculpture art exhibition, Ning Weimin is even more "soup".

He didn't think much of it at all, and almost completely copied what he had done last year.

In addition to saying good things for a few acquaintances who brought their works to the competition, for example, at least one third prize should be guaranteed to Xiangqun. The rest is up to the Artists Association, and he will not intervene in any way.

The people from the Artists Association are naturally happy to take over the dominance of the awards, and they are more fond of Ning Weimin.

Similarly, Ning Weimin didn't bother to think about any new ideas for the sculpture art exhibition and the upcoming second Spring Festival garden party in the Zhai Palace.

He himself only acted as a pure investor this time, and handed over the power of organizing activities and deploying personnel to Qiao Wanlin.
If it weren't for the sculpture art exhibition, there would be an episode.

Ye Hemin, who is also a visiting professor at the Academy of Arts and Crafts, suffers from lack of funds to go out to investigate the kiln mouth site.

Actually, a porcelain work with a flying fairy sculpture was also sent to participate in this award.

This made the judges very embarrassed, and finally Ning Weimin used his personal 5000 yuan to subsidize Ye Hemin to solve this problem.

Then it can be said that in these very important foreign activities, Ning Weimin's sense of presence is almost gone.

As for why he is willing to act as a mascot-like humanoid prop, the reason is also very simple.

Not for anything else, it is because he has been ambush since 1980, the zodiac stamps, and finally it is time to cash in the red envelopes.

He has to keep an eye on it, adjust his state, and go all out.

People who don't know much about stamps probably don't know that the stamp market is the earliest speculative market that flourished in our country.

It was also the 90s, the largest and most vital speculative market in China.

Since the reform and opening up, stamp trading markets have spontaneously formed at the gates of stamp companies in almost all cities.

Don't look at the public security, urban management, industry and commerce, culture, and tax inspections all day long.

But its vitality is so tenacious.

It can neither be driven away nor broken up, and has always existed for a long time.

For example, the four most well-known markets in the country have lasted for more than ten years.

Especially in the 80s and 90s, which is almost 20 years.

The four major markets located in Beijing, Shanghai, Huacheng, and Chengdu have jointly set off several stamp hype booms.

Only relying on the small paper notes with official prices of a few cents, a few cents, and a few yuan at most, countless myths about getting rich have been created.

It is a market that is far more widely recognized by the people than the stock market, futures, and treasury bond markets, and has better hype and liquidity conditions.

As for why the stamp market is so hot?

Isn’t it because the face value of stamps is small, the value-added is fast, it is easy to quantify, the threshold for participation is low, and it is convenient to trade and carry?
It can be said that with these advantages, stamps will become the only investment product that is most suitable for the general public to participate in the initial stage of my country's economy, and can best satisfy the people's desire to increase and maintain value.

There is no way, the common people are poor, and they don’t have much spare money in their hands, so they cannot participate in products that are too high-end.

Besides, in this era, information technology is underdeveloped.

Only simple things can be understood by everyone and can be traded with confidence.

Even the country has a certain acquiescence and support for the hype of stamps.

Because the stamp market is hot, it is conducive to the circulation of stamps.

The official pricing of stamps has also played a role of credit endorsement for ordinary people.

No matter how this thing is issued by the state, it is equivalent to currency.

In fact, it was not until after 1997 that the stamp market lost the favor of the public due to various reasons such as the increasing number of speculative markets and the serious issue of stamps.

But even so, the most glorious days of the postage market in the 90s and the most violent rises and falls of those stamps were all deeply remembered by the old postage merchants.

It is also regarded by them as life experience and bragging capital, and they love to show off to younger generations in the same industry at the wine table.

In this way, anyone who eats stamps will be familiar with the hype crazes in the history of the stamp market, and have a general understanding of them.

In particular, the starting point of the first stamp craze is the most memorable.

Because it was a famous event that everyone jokingly called "The Rat".

This incident actually refers to January 1984, 1, when the Chinese zodiac mouse ticket was issued and sold.

Dare to love the zodiac tickets issued starting from the "Monkey Ticket". So far, the monkey, rooster, dog, and pig have each seen an astonishing increase.

This year, philatelists in the capital have naturally reached a consensus, and they have a special preference for rat stamps.

As a result, everyone started queuing at three o'clock in the morning that day.

In order to maintain order, the philatelic head office, which has been moved from the Donghuamen Post Office to the Hepingmen Post Office, not only took up posts except for the left-behind staff, but also used the armed police force.

As a result, the sales of rat tickets were unprecedentedly hot, and they were sold out in the capital.

This phenomenon then spread rapidly to other stamp markets.

Afterwards, with the issuance of stamps and souvenir sheets such as "Picture of Ladies", "Peony Pavilion", and "The 23rd Olympic Games", people queued up to buy them even more frantically.

So far, the first upsurge in the history of my country's postal market has been formed.

Moreover, due to the more aggressive "Changchun Clivia Fever", it has attracted the attention of high-level officials for the postal market, and has taken away the pressure of many management parties and public opinion.

This time, the stamp hype of the early JT tickets and type sheets, mainly represented by zodiac tickets, lasted for a long time.

It has been booming for about a year and a half.

The real culmination of this climax came when the "Plum Blossom" stamp and souvenir sheet was released in April 1985.

The end was marked by the May 1985, 5 issue of the "infamous" "Panda" stamp and sheet.

In the history where Ning Weimin was not involved, the price of the monkey ticket rose from around 30 yuan to [-] yuan during this period of time.

Even the rat tickets issued that year rose to one yuan.

It is conceivable that Ning Weimin has already raised the base price of monkey tickets to around 60 yuan before the upsurge has come, and how far will it go in the end?

Therefore, 30 years later, some young people think that it is obviously extremely stupid to think that after buying a monkey ticket, it will take more than ten years to realize the profit.

According to Ning Weimin's plan, I'm afraid that when the time comes, he only needs to throw out the loose tickets in his hand.

This wave of "leeks" has almost been harvested, and all his investment in stamps has been returned, even with interest.

If he speculates in the future, the remaining tickets in his hand will be [-]% risk-free net profit.

Don't blame him for being cruel!
Not to mention that he used to be a postal merchant in his previous life, and in his dreams he wanted to be a banker who manipulated the postal market.

Let's see what kind of quality I am and how capable I am.

Even if it was planned for him for three full years!
Focus on the hard days when he lived frugally, picked up trash, and saved stamps.

He is also qualified to earn a lot of votes.

Only in this way can he be worthy of himself and the opportunity to make a fortune bestowed by God.
