National Tide 1980

The key question is precisely, can a hundred-fold increase in stamps be the same as a hundred-fold increase in calligraphy and painting?

Anyone who does this arithmetic problem would be foolish and make the mistake of trying to find a sword.

Because I completely forgot about the time period.

Return on investment is, of course, inseparable from time.

Things like calligraphy, painting, antiques, furniture and jade have a continuous appreciation curve.

It climbs upwards all year round, and there are fluctuations downwards, but they are very small.

Stamps are just the opposite, with violent zigzag movements, ups and downs.

Therefore, it is also the graph closest to the stock market.

In the final analysis, it is because stamps require less capital, have low entry barriers, and facilitate transactions, which are beneficial to the issuance of stamps.

The postal market will become the only crazy market that has hit the sky several times before my country's stock market came out.

Not to mention anything else, in 1985 and 1991, the postal market performed the "Fengwu Nine Days" market twice.

Other collections can only lie on the ground and look up.

what does that mean?

This means that in the 1980s and 1990s, in the past 20 years, only stamps were able to ride a thousand-mile horse.

No other variety can compete with it in terms of appreciation space.

Most of the increases in stamp types, especially those of older stamps, were actually completed before 2000.

As for other investment varieties, they only began to rise in the mid-1990s.

Calligraphy, paintings, ancient books, and stone seals have always been sought after by Kochi and aristocratic families.

Then there are the porcelain, furniture, and Buddhist statues that even foreigners can appreciate.

When Chinese people become rich, it is the turn of jewelry, jade, jade and other things that can condense wealth.

Then this wealth effect will be extended to more miscellaneous items, setting off a real national trend.

Therefore, from a time perspective, it was almost after 2000 that some varieties gradually surpassed stamps and became mainstream investment varieties instead.

Then Ning Weimin can completely use this time difference to play a relay race in the speculative market.

To put it bluntly, he sold the stamps and then bought others without any delay. This was even a more cost-effective speculation step.

To give a specific example, in 1991, he sold a set of "Wen 1" tickets that cost five yuan today and earned 10,000 yuan.

If I go back and buy Huang Binhong's fine products that have increased a hundred times, for one thousand and three pieces, I can still buy seven and a half pieces.

This is equivalent to five dollars turning into one billion!

Even if you no longer operate other varieties and just sit there waiting for appreciation, that will still be an increase of 200 million times.

Which investment guru can compare?

Of course, this is appropriate. It only exists purely theoretically.

Because Ning Weimin also understands very well that no matter whether he sells things or buys new investment targets.

With a large amount of capital, it cannot be accomplished in a short period of time.

Whether we can find so many Huang Binhong paintings by then, and whether they are authentic or not, are all new questions.

Otherwise, why would he insist on holding calligraphy, painting, and stamps with both hands?

Because in this way, he would be strong in both hands.

There are both long-term varieties and short-term chips. You can advance to attack and retreat to defend. This means you have both the present and the future.

That is the real absence of shortcomings, and that is true happiness.

But despite this, having said that, is this kind of happiness enough for Ning Weimin?

No, of course not enough.

In fact, Ning Weimin was attracted by the current situation of the small market and started to grab goods, all on a temporary basis.

We cannot but mention the real purpose of Ning Weimin coming to the Stamp Corporation today.

Because at this moment, in the business hall of the Stamp Corporation, there was another huge fortune waiting for Ning Weimin to carry it home.

That is the Xinyou New Year chicken tickets that were issued and listed on January 5, 1981.

This stamp is the second in the zodiac stamp series, and its price is second only to the monkey stamp among the zodiac stamps.

In 2020, the price of a full-page chicken ticket has exceeded 20,000 yuan, and the unit price is as high as 180 yuan.

If you buy it now, you can still buy it at the official price of 8 cents face value, which means you can buy a whole edition for 6.4 yuan.

And the purpose of Ning Weimin coming here is to buy a full page of chicken tickets.

His initial plan was to take advantage of the fact that the circulation of chicken tickets in the Xinyou Year was nine million.

This year, he will have to take in at least twice the number of monkey tickets as a reserve of chips.

Because he is no longer satisfied with just being a "professional monkey farmer".

He now feels that the name "Monkey King" is not so good. What he wants to do is to be the "Zodiac King" in the postal market.

So because of this, when Ning Weimin flipped through the next stamp dealer's stamp album, he was surprised to find a square monkey stamp.

After being stunned for a moment, he was filled with joy and asked the price enthusiastically.

"How much do you charge for these four-party monkey tickets?"

"You have?"

"I have!"

"Is it the Quartet Alliance?"

"There are leaflets and four-party couplets."

"It's 15 cents for a single ticket, 80 cents for a four-way package. How about it? This is last year's new ticket. It has doubled. The price is high enough..."

"Then how about I buy yours? Just this Sifanglian, what price do you want to sell it to me?"

Ning Weimin smiled. He remembered his bet with Kang Shude. Unexpectedly, he won before the New Year.

But the other party suddenly became mute and rolled his eyes, feeling a little unhappy.

"I said, do you want to buy or sell?"

"It depends on your price."

Ning Weimin's confidence has never been so strong.

But the misunderstanding deepened, and he was obviously a little angry.

This guy really had a bad temper and made fist gestures.

"Hey, you are selling and buying now. You are vague and sincerely amusing me, right? Don't make yourself uncomfortable."

Ning Weimin continued to speak kindly.

"I don't mean that. I'm just asking you for a sincere price. I can buy or sell, as long as the price is right."

The ticket seller thought Ning Weimin was still teasing him with his cough, so he got excited.

"Hey, don't blame me for being rude. Let's put it this way, this is the price I charge you for the ticket, and I have to double it if I sell it to you."

"Is that what you said?"

"That's it. What's going on? If you don't accept it, let's find a place to practice?" The ticket dealer was already glaring.

But no matter what he thought, Ning Weimin smiled even brighter.

He took out the money from his pocket, ordered one dollar and six and handed it over.

"That's not necessary. In view of your attitude, I decided to buy this Sifanglian."

Hey, this is great. The ticket seller is completely confused and has no idea where Bei is.

He said in his heart, what does this boy mean?

You're sick, you're just throwing your money away on purpose.

But Ning Weimin smiled and didn't say anything. He was like a devil who deceived people's hearts and just continued to collect money.

So in just three or four seconds, the tragedy and comedy of life came to an end.

Just for one dollar and six, just to buy two packs of good cigarettes, this ticket seller threw away 70,000 yuan with his own hands.

Just think about it, how interesting this is.

People who suffer a loss actually think that they have taken advantage of it.

It is clear that he has been cut into pieces by others, but he regards the person who successfully plotted against him as a fool.

And this is the postal market! This is the speculative market!

A place where buyers and sellers pass by each other and say "silly boy" to each other.

Stories like this may happen here every day in the future.
