National Tide 1980.

Zodiac stamps are indeed scarce resources.

Although it is also printed by machine, no matter how high the circulation can be, there is a limit after all.

Stamps are not like letter envelopes, you can have as many as you want, and you can place an order for the factory to increase production at any time.

Therefore, under the sufficient capacity of the market, the better the variety and the better the rising trend of stamps, the more sought after they will be.

Not only can you sell as much as it comes out, but it can even get hotter and hotter, making the market price continue to rise.

Just like Ning Weimin stayed in Shanghai for the past two days, he sold more than 100 stamps such as monkeys, chickens, and dogs, which are rarely seen in the local area, at the street stamp market in Shanghai.

Just because the "piling moulds" couldn't wait to turn their hands around to make the difference, there was a small climax, and then a big leap up.

The monkey ticket is really as high as 600 yuan, the chicken is 200 yuan, and the dog is 110 yuan.

Even the pig ticket and the mouse ticket moved a little.

The day after paying for "Zhu Sanwan".

The full-page pig tickets on Taiyuan Road cost two thousand and four, and the full-page mouse tickets can cost more than 140 five.

Now give "Zhu Sanwan" to Le De, and take the initiative to call the hotel to thank Ning Weimin for the opportunity to make a fortune.

I also want to find a good place to entertain them again.

However, for Ning Weimin, who was racing against time, he found a very difficult problem - in the short term, he would not be able to find more receivers.

Dare to "Zhu Sanwan" is Ning Weimin's best setter in the existing relationship in Shanghai.

Ning Weimin and the two or three people who were invited to the banquet later were all incomparable to him, which was quite disappointing.

Because there is no one who can swallow these goods intact according to their original shipment figures.

This is not surprising.

After all, the domestic stamp market is only in its infancy, and this is the first bull market for stamps with all stamp varieties rising in an all-round way after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

People who are hopping in the market today are basically making their first pot of gold for themselves, and there are few big households with considerable strength and capital.

Therefore, it is easy to make a market, but difficult to ship.

What's more, even for the big households in the postal market, few of them can keep up with the growth rate of the market price of zodiac tickets.

The master who can really come up with 10,000+ cash is not bad.

No matter how good the price Ning Weimin offered, and no matter how much money was left for them, it would be useless for these people not to have so much money.

It can be seen from this that "Zhu Sanwan" is really capable of eating back the three thousand version intact.

It is enough to be called an outstanding person in the Shanghai postal market.

Of course, these people who are not strong enough to eat stamps are not stupid, and they wouldn't do this job if they were stupid.

Everyone knows that when you have a sweet business, it is better to join hands with others than to let it go.

But even so, it takes time to find a partner, and it takes time to raise money.

However, what Ning Weimin needs most right now is time. He will stay in Shanghai for five or six days at most before leaving.

So except for one master who was able to successfully find the Allied Army, he ate [-] copies in one bite.

Others can only buy piecemeal with existing funds.

As a result, Ning Weimin became distressed.

The rest of the stuff in his hand was like a rabbit shitting, a child peeing, and he was tossed hard enough.

There are hundreds of editions for one meal, and hundreds of editions for the next meal.

For these people with limited financial resources, they still have to serve them like the God of Wealth with good cigarettes, good wine, and good words, which makes him an annoyance.

Seeing that his wish to sell [-] rats in the Shanghai market might not come true, Ning Weimin didn't dare to fight any more, and planned to change the battlefield.

He felt that he should leave one day earlier and go to Huacheng to try his luck.

The reason is very simple, although in the first-tier cities with developed economy in the whole country, there are chaos in the world, and there are many bad guys doing evil.

If you go there with too much belongings, you will most likely be targeted, and you must take a certain risk of personal safety.

But on the other hand, it was also because it opened up early, there were more rich people, and there were more big households in the postal market.

This is the case when they are foodies. They first went to Shanghai and met a lot of people before they bought the [-] version.

When I went to Huacheng later, I easily bought [-] copies.

This is enough to explain the problem.

In short, don't worry about how the Cantonese people got their money, or it was smuggled, or it got the favor of Hong Kong counselors.

Anyway, if you want to go wholesale, Huacheng must be easier than Shanghai.

In the end, it never occurred to him that just after Ning Weimin had bought the plane ticket to Feihua City, an unexpected big buyer came to his door.

The name of this big buyer is He Jun, and he is really big, not only powerful, but also generous.

If "Zhu Sanwan" was compared with him, he would not be there.

Because He Jun is not only the same as "Zhu Sanwan", but also the first batch of players in Shanghai after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He also has the inheritance and heritage from the previous generation, and he is a family of stamps.

Dare to love He Jun's grandfather, he thought that he was a famous postal merchant on the beach in Shanghai before liberation.

This old Mr. He has countless precious stamps in his hands, such as "Gongmen down", "Zhongshan down", and "Small characters are worth one yuan", all of which have passed through his hands.

Usually with other big mail merchants and philatelists in Shanghai Beach, such as Zhou Jinjue, Chen Zhichuan, Zhong Xiaolu, they are all good friends who are called brothers and sisters.

We often eat together, drink tea, and discuss postal knowledge.

It's a pity that after the liberation, this business gradually became impossible, and stamps gradually missed the resale hype.

The He family, which was originally extremely wealthy, lost its main income and gradually declined.

Mr. He has gradually become a useless person who can only watch his children buy vegetables at home.

The sons and daughters have basically become workers and salesmen.

No one in the next generation of the He family is interested in stamps anymore.

In those few years of special times, the most difficult time for the He family was just like the movie "The Young Mistress of the Zhang Family" just released this year, they had to make a living by selling old things.

Don't look at the small western-style building on the second floor, but the east wall is demolished to make up for the west wall. Everyone's clothes are patched up, and even a bowl of beef soup is reluctant to buy it for the children in the family.

I really answered that sentence - the landlord's family has no food left.

But even so, Mr. He was not willing to give up his treasures, and kept hiding them under his bed.

As a result, instead, he found a successor in the third generation of the family, which is his youngest grandson He Jun.

Speaking of which, this fate is also driven by poverty.

The He family needs to supplement the family income, and the children in the family have to pick up waste paper and broken glass after school every day.

He Jun is different from his older brothers and sisters. In the colorful world made up of trash cans, he doesn't pay much attention to material treasures such as copper wires and iron sheets.

But he was interested in the stamp on the envelope,

Every time I see a good-looking stamp, I always cut it out and keep it as a villain.

The children of the He family couldn't afford comic books, and they were reluctant to go to the bookstalls to spend money on reading them. Reading these letter sales tickets became a unique hobby that He Jun cherished very much.

His spiritual world was deeply affected by this, and he began to understand the world beyond textbooks through stamps.

Once, the three of them got lucky and picked up a broken pillow together.

Later, it was discovered that there were more than ten yuan hidden in it, which undoubtedly made a fortune for them.

After He Jun's elder sister and elder brother counted it up, they felt that they could hand in the big ticket and keep the change, so that the siblings could have a good time.

Unexpectedly, He Jun strongly opposed this.

He values ​​spirituality over material things, and said that Ning would use his share of the money to buy stamps while watching his brothers and sisters drooling.

In the end, he insisted on begging for [-] cents from his elder brother and sister, and bought a whole set of "Goldfish" that he had been coveting for a long time at the post office.

That day, the joy that the three siblings felt was completely different.

While his sister and brother were satisfied with their food, He Jun endured the protests in his stomach, and was ecstatic that he finally had a brand new set of stamps.

In particular, they don't know that their respective life directions and living circumstances are destined to undergo major changes because of this set of stamps.

A year later, the price of the "Goldfish" stamp set had tripled.

So the inevitable happened again.

He Jun's elder sister and elder brother secretly took this set of stamps to the road market and sold them because they couldn't help their greed.

After losing his most precious thing, He Jun was naturally very sad, and he would inevitably cry a lot.

Needless to say, making a fuss didn't help, and He Jun was scolded and scolded by his parents for revealing the secret of keeping money privately.

But even so, the good side is that because of this incident, Mr. He found out that his youngest grandson is actually a fellow.

And I also know that money transactions for stamps can be done on the roads in Shanghai and Shanghai.

So after seeing He Jun's private collection of letter-selling stamps in iron boxes, Mr. He stroked He Jun's head very happily, and began to teach him the correct way to store stamps, as well as stamp-related knowledge.

The most important thing is that Mr. He still hides other people behind his back and shows He Jun the treasures he has hidden under the bed board.

And teach him what is a good stamp, and how to postage.

It is precisely because of such a leader that He Jun really entered the world of stamps.

Since then, not only has his postal knowledge doubled, but he has also picked up trash more diligently.

He even focused on picking up envelopes in the trash can, ignoring other things, and only seeing stamps in his eyes.

For this reason, He Jun began to have a specialty, that is, he is particularly good at discovering beauty in the dirty and ugly.

Under the rotten vegetable skins, rotten rice, and used toilet paper, he can recognize the corners of the envelopes that are accidentally exposed at a glance, and at the same time imagine the exquisite stamps covered by filth.

When he found an envelope with a beautiful stamp in the fly flying around and the sour and pungent garbage dump.

He often can't help but sit down and enjoy the scene for a long time.

And the mail tickets picked up will be sold in the street market along with my grandfather after being processed correctly and assembled into a set.

The money from the sale will be used to buy new stamps with small circulation, good themes and promising appreciation.

For all the special stamps from the end of the 60s to the end of the 70s, He Jun did not miss the opportunity.

This forms a virtuous circle.

He Jun's harvest is not only knowledge, but also wealth, and more emotionally with his grandfather.

It can be said that these days of picking up junk have laid a firm foundation for He Jun to become the number one big household in the Shanghai Postal Market.

By the end of the 70s, He Jun and his grandfather joined hands to form a tower, and had already made a fortune of no less than 10 yuan.

It's just that the grandfather and grandson kept it from the family all the time, and they both turned their wealth into stamps, and put them in the attic above Mr. He's room, stuffing them with tin boxes.

There are peonies, chrysanthemums, Mount Huangshan, head portraits of leaders, folk dances, acrobatics...all of them.

If an outsider enters and sees this scene, they will definitely mistake it for the warehouse of the Post Office's stock.

In addition, in 1981, He Jiafu's star was shining, and his luck was completely changed, turning a new page.

After the policy was implemented, the house deed and many belongings returned to the He family.

The He family suddenly became rich again, and lived a prosperous life again.

It's just that he never expected that a few days after the good times, Mr. He didn't close the window after drinking, and accidentally suffered a stroke, and he has been bedridden since then.

And soon because of old age and frailty, he reached the end of his life.

Before he died, Mr. He made a seemingly confused property division in front of the whole family.

First of all, there are two rooms for each person in the Xiaoyanglou, for children and grandchildren to start a family and start a business.

The room that He Jun lived in for a while, because it was next to his elder brother, after Mr. He passed away, he had to give it up to his elder brother.

Mr. He's room and attic are owned by He Jun.

Secondly, those things that were returned to the He family, except for the stamps that belonged to He Jun.

The rest of the property will be distributed equally by Mr. He's children and other grandchildren on a head-to-head basis.

In the end, He Jun didn't even have a share of the banknotes, and the deposit certificates of more than 7 yuan were equally distributed by others.

In this way, except for He Jun who got all the stamps for the two rooms, everyone else lost [-] to [-] in property.

Due to the gap in thinking and knowledge, the members of the He family had no objection except that they were a little puzzled as to why Mr. He had "treated" their little grandson badly, and were also a little secretly happy.

In their hearts, those old postage stamps must not be compared with mahogany furniture, jewelry and stacks of banknotes.

Even the housing that He Jun got was smaller than everyone else's.

Although the main room has a good orientation and has a toilet, what is the attic?
Just don't make a fuss full of rats in the future.

As a result, He Jun, who seemed wronged, actually got the most precious inheritance from his eccentric grandfather.

In terms of wealth, it is more than ten times that of other people, which can be described as unique.

Afterwards, relying on the knowledge and experience imparted by his grandfather, and with the rapid development of postal market transactions, in the next few years, He Jun hoarded goods and successfully made large-scale transactions of several popular varieties, and his wealth expanded again. several times.

This made him feel that he had no rivals in the Shanghai postal market, and he became more confident and ambitious, and even determined to become the postal king beyond his grandfather and dominate the Shanghai postal market.

In 1984, when the bull market for stamps across the country was detonated by the "rats" in Beijing, he also saw a rare opportunity for speculation.

No hesitating to spend a lot of money to collect rat tickets in Shanghai, and it is time to test the waters and become a banker.

So in fact, this He Jun's experience is surprisingly similar to Ning Weimin's.

Not only are they big stamp dealers who got out of the trash cans, they all have a grandfather who taught them their skills, and they all have their eyes on the zodiac ticket for the Year of the Rat.

It can be called the local mouse king in Shanghai.
