National Tide 1980.

Chapter 592 Big Scene

In fact, Zhang Shihui didn't know that Ning Weimin didn't want him to be involved, and it was really for his own good.

Ning Weimin is well aware of the negative nature of engaging in speculation.

Getting money out of it is like getting chestnuts out of a fire.

It is an extreme challenge to human nature, full of temptations and traps, and addictive like gambling.

If you can't stick to the principles, abide by the bottom line, and let greed run rampant, you will be lost forever.

As Gordon, played by Michael Douglas, said in the movie "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps".

"It's a path of no return to bankruptcy. It's a systemic, global cycle, like cancer, it's a terminal disease."

Based on Ning Weimin's understanding of Zhang Shihui, he doesn't think that Zhang Shihui's character is likely to adapt to the environment and rules of this game, and has the potential to become a winner.

So for Zhang Shihui, the result must be a tragedy.

Although it's not difficult to make money together with buddies, Ning Weimin doesn't want to turn his good buddies into a useless person who is waiting for rabbits.

It is even more impossible to look after Zhang Shihui for a lifetime like looking after a child.

Now that you know, no matter how much Zhang Shihui earns by following him, he will lose if you leave him in the end.

It would be better to let Zhang Shihui never have it.

What's more, he speculates by himself, so he naturally has no time to take care of business.

At this time, I really need someone like Zhang Shihui to help me look after my home.

To be honest, there are many people around who can help him, but he only trusts this buddy who accompanied him all the way.

On the contrary, those people in Pierre-Carton's head office actually didn't have much weight in his heart.

Those people are just a cover for him to share the risk in this business, and they are just some tool people.

The reason why he is willing to give them sweet treats is just to get some effective help in terms of funds, manpower, and collecting chips, which will make this matter safer and easier.

In addition, he also needs to stand with those people in order to hide his identity as Dazhuang behind the scenes deeper.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Although he is sure that nothing will happen to this stamp speculation, he must also make defensive preparations for the unexpected "black swan" event.

These executives, the connections and social relations behind them, are quite powerful when united.

What's more, more than a dozen company executives, together, are equivalent to more than half of Peel-Carton Company.

Even if someone actually finds out about the stamp hype, they will be investigated all the way.

I'm afraid that due to the fact that there are too many people involved in this matter, it is impossible for Song Huagui to abandon his pawns to save the car and ignore them.

Moreover, most of Pierre-Carton's executives had an accident together, so the higher-ups must be alarmed.

The relevant departments will definitely be very cautious when dealing with it.

Even if the law is not merciful, if there are more than a dozen people who share the crime together, the burden on him will naturally be much lighter.

Taking a step back, at least it still has the effect of the ecstasy array.

After checking this step, no one would have thought that he secretly made a big bet behind the backs of these executives.

This is Ning Weimin's real plan!

Come to think of it, this kid's biggest gainer is hiding behind two layers of the curtain.

But because of this, he took the lowest risk and still made these people think of him well.

What is profit maximization?

This is called profit maximization!

The phrase "becoming a bitch and setting up an archway" alone is not enough to describe him.

The word "true" must be added in front of this sentence.

As for Ning Weimin's decision to bring Luo Guangliang and Xiaotao in to help, besides really needing helpers like them who can roam the streets, it's also because these two people are not very popular and are content with life.

In addition, the master-slave relationship was clearly established from the very beginning, Luo Guangliang is a stable person with a strong backbone, and he can also control Xiao Tao.

So no matter for Luo Guangliang and Xiaotao, or Ning Weimin himself, there is no hidden danger in this kind of cooperation.

Finally, it is easier to talk about the participation logic behind stamp speculation.

You know, food and clothing can not only make people want to eat, but also encourage greed.

Contemporary people are still very simple, especially when it comes to economics.

To put it in a bad way, it means being well behaved.

So when there was no money in the past, people would not have any idea about speculation.

Most people's attitude towards poverty is to let nature take its course, in one word - tolerance.

But things are different now, the state has loosened economic control, the income of ordinary people has also increased, and their yearning and desire for a better life have increased.

However, with the money in hand, it is impossible to do it in one step, and buy everything you want to buy home.

At this time, if people find that besides picking money out of their mouths and saving a little bit, there is a way to get money faster.

And it can double in a short period of time, and you can make money as long as you lie down.

How many people can resist this temptation?
This is due to human nature, and has nothing to do with the consumer demand represented by people in their 60s and [-]s.

More importantly, the current social situation is not only about people's desires, but also the right time and location.

my country's reform has a very significant feature, that is, it is highly cyclical.

Every three to five years, we have to carry out a rectification, which was later called "macro-control".

In the early stage, reforms began in 1978, and by 1981, the economy was overheated and the brakes were slammed.

After a sudden brake, the economy slowly recovered. By the end of 1983, the economy showed signs of overall recovery.

At the beginning of 1984, the great man made a speech on his southern tour, and the economy began to heat up again.

Judging from the introduction of the current "Overall Plan for Capital Construction" and the fact that the main topic of the National Economic Conference is to improve economic efficiency, Ning Weimin knows that the country is starting to print money again, and the faucet is about to be turned on for the capital.

Then a large amount of funds released by the government will naturally go through various channels and eventually sink to the private sector.

And because of several wage adjustments, the people in the capital have widened their distance from other second-tier cities.

It can be said that this place itself has more money than other places, and of course it is extremely conducive to speculation.

What's more, people in big cities can see more good things than other places because they opened up earlier and the economy is developed.

Naturally, people's desires are strong, and they can't help being tempted.

So at this time, stamps set off the first round of bull market in the capital. Analyzing from a historical perspective, it is a matter of course and a matter of course.

But everything that Zhang Shihui didn't understand, in Ning Weimin's eyes, was so natural and reasonable.

…………

February 1984, 2, the first Sunday after everyone returned to work after the Spring Festival.

This day is destined to be recorded in the history of the development of my country's stamps.

Because in the capital, philatelists want to buy stamps for the zodiac rat.

What happened was even more shocking than January 1984, 1, the first day when the Zodiac Rat ticket was released for sale!

Dare to love the scene of "mouse trouble" this year, because Ning Weimin's lurking produced a butterfly effect, making the scene of queuing up overnight even more popular than the original history.

Afterwards, the exaggerated reports of many newspapers and the letters of many people all made the postal department feel great pressure.

In addition, the sales department of the philatelic head office was really scared, and they had never encountered so many people begging for stamps.

Therefore, in line with the attitude of being responsible to philatelists and collectors, the postal department held a special meeting for this purpose and thought of many ways to improve the sales of zodiac tickets for the Year of the Rat.

In the end, it was decided that, in view of the great buying enthusiasm of the stamp collectors in the capital, they would simply gather all the Year of the Rat stamps in stock for sale in the capital, take them to an empty and large enough place, and hold a monopoly fair.

All stamp sales departments have stopped selling zodiac stamps for the Year of the Rat in order to be able to work normally.

The leaders of the philatelic company even planned to take the opportunity to resell the overstocked stamps in various business departments, so as to turn bad things into good things.

In this way, the venue was finally selected at the Workers' Stadium, and the philatelic company decided to go there collectively to "practice its booth".

They temporarily rented the office area of ​​the stadium.

In the office on the east side, there is a sign called "Sales Team".

There are more than 100 people arranged in it, and they are responsible for sales in shifts.

There is an office behind the sales team, and there are more than a hundred people in it, who have written to the "safety team" and are responsible for maintaining order.

Behind the security team is the logistics team, with about 30 people.

Mainly responsible for handling philatelic products for sale, and arranging meals for sales and security personnel.

Behind the logistics group is the emergency group, which is actually the most powerful group.

Because it is composed of leaders of philatelic companies and leaders of the Public Security Bureau, it specializes in handling emergencies.

No one can deny that such a lineup is indeed very important.

Reporting this plan to the superiors did not find any faults.

So this matter was passed, followed by advertisements in the "Beijing Evening News" and "Beijing Daily", announcing to the public the latest sales method of the Year of the Rat zodiac stamps.

On Sunday, from [-]:[-] a.m. to [-]:[-] p.m., workers' stadium, you need to bring a philatelic card, and each person is limited to two editions.

But people are not as good as heaven, and the head office of the philatelic company thought that there was no scene that four or five hundred people could not handle, but it made two mistakes.

One is that the workers' stadium is too wide, and order is really difficult to maintain.

The second is that "bad guys" who had planned for a long time got involved.

He actually stayed directly at the Gongti sales site and bought rat tickets at a high price.

So this day has still become a day for the staff of the philatelic company to be exhausted and frightened.

It was more than six o'clock in the morning this morning, and the sky was just beginning to light up.

The north and east gates of Gongti are boiling...

According to visual estimation, there are at least two to three thousand people at each door, and at least half of them are impatiently surrounding the iron fence at the door, pointing their toes up and looking inside.

Such a scene, logically speaking, should have aroused vigilance, and there was time to arrange it.

But the problem is that the Gongti can accommodate 6 spectators, which is commonplace for people in the stadium, and they don't care too much.

Not to mention saying hello to the staff of the philatelic company and the Public Security Bureau.

As a result, as soon as eight o'clock arrived, the people from Gongti opened the door.

In this way, wait until the postal service personnel arrive to prepare for opening.

Seeing the crowds of people inside the Worker Stadium, I was so nervous that my head was sweating, worried that the order would not be maintained.

When the person in charge of the philatelic company saw it, he was even more taken aback.

He felt that if the sale started like this, more than 2 people rushed forward and crowded in front of the sales booth, and the order would undoubtedly be chaotic.

So the leaders of various departments were called urgently to discuss countermeasures.

"Let me tell you, everyone, what time is it? Why are there so many people here? Are they all buying stamps? This is much more crowded than on January 1th. It's too evil."

Each of the subordinates replied in a hurry.

"Manager, these people should be queuing up to buy stamps, and there are still many people hiring people to line up."

"No, no, not necessarily. People here have a bad habit of watching the excitement. When I came here just now, I saw many morning exercisers coming in, and some old men were still carrying bird cages. , obviously watching the excitement."

"Leader, yes, there seems to be a tricycle selling tofu nao and sesame cakes. Should we check the stamp collection cards in their hands? If not, we should clear them out..."

The last one is indeed right.

It's a pity, it's too late, more than 2 people have come in, how can we screen?How else to clean up?

Check one by one, how much do we have to check?It's almost time, and the stamps are still on sale.

So there is no way, we can only make a temporary response, and send someone to walk around the scene with a loudspeaker and shout.

One is to standardize the queue, and at the same time inform the sales principles and details, and those who do not queue up and show their philatelic certificates will not sell.

The second is to tell those watching the fun that we are selling stamps here.

If you don't have a philatelic card, you can't buy it even if you queue up, so leave quickly.

The third is to quickly ask the staff of Gongti to close the iron fence gate outside, so that the later people can't let it go, and they have to wait for the customers inside to "digest" it.

Don't say it, it really works.

A lot of people who came here for good things, once they figured out what was going on, felt that it had nothing to do with them, and indeed they left.

The order on the scene was also well maintained. Although the team was a little chaotic, they still lined up.

At nine o'clock in the morning, it's almost time for retail sales, and all the postal fans are smiling and full of anticipation...

At this time, the scene was in chaos again, and there was a lot of commotion.

The manager of the philatelic company was naturally anxious.

"What's going on, when it's about to start selling, there's chaos? Who's making trouble outside?"

The subordinates came to report, "Manager, something is wrong. People in the back line are pushing forward, and some people are maliciously blocking things. The order is a bit chaotic..."

The manager was dissatisfied, "Hurry up and send someone to maintain order, we can't sell this kind of chaos!"

The subordinate said, "The security team has already passed, but it is estimated that the order is difficult to control. Because there are too many people in line, I am afraid that they will not be able to buy in the back."

Just like this is not over for you, because there is trouble inside, and there are still people making trouble at the gate of the iron fence outside.

More people, people from Luyuan, continued to gather at Gongti one after another at this time.

They saw that they couldn't even get through the iron gate, and there was such a din of people inside.

They all thought that there was no hope of buying this zodiac stamp, and their emotions broke down a bit.

Some people began to "tell the history of the revolutionary family painfully", telling the reason why their family came late.

Some people say how much they love stamp collecting, and they have been inseparable from stamps for some time.

Some people took out their philatelic cards to prove that they were veteran hardcore players.

Then they started hugging together.

People outside, whether they were holding on to the railing or standing on tiptoe, shouted together, "We want to buy stamps!"

As a result, more spectators were attracted, and they also wanted to come in and join in such a grand occasion.

Let anyone see, this situation is difficult to end peacefully!

The person in charge of the philatelic company felt cold hands and feet when he saw this scene.

He had never seen formations before, and it felt like a military exercise when he was in the army.

I regretted it so much, I felt that it would be better to sell it in the sales department of Hepingmen, and I felt a bit trapped in my own cocoon.
