National Tide 1980

"Big market? Are you referring to the rat tickets issued this year?"

"Of course. Before this, has anyone seen such a rush to buy stamps overnight?"

"But that doesn't mean anything, does it? It's not very common to queue up all night long. Why don't you queue up? Don't we have fewer queues? We didn't queue up to buy stamps in the past, but now we do. At most, it means that we have the right to queue up. There are a little more people interested in stamps, but others..."

"Haha, queuing up is different from queuing up. Food, drink, clothing, and clothing are necessities of life, and no one can live without them. But they are not necessities of life. Have any of you here seen people queuing up like this?"

"I've seen it before, why haven't I seen it before? For example, registering for college entrance examinations and buying tickets for concerts in the first two years. And the American movie "Superman" is being released now. The scene of buying tickets is exactly the same as the photo in this newspaper. By the way, there are also queues to use the toilet in department stores..."

During the question and answer, some people actually started to make excuses.

Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh at this somewhat pretentious listing.

Ning Weimin's magnanimity could certainly tolerate such jokes.

He also smiled and was not angry at all for such "deliberate opposition". Instead, he continued to follow the irrelevant words.

His tone was still calm, patiently reasoning.

"Okay, even if what you are saying is true, has anyone seen so many newspapers reporting on such a small stamp at the same time? And has anyone seen the Philatelic Corporation limit the number of stamps purchased in addition to requiring stamp certificates? "In my opinion, these all prove that it has become a conclusive fact that zodiac stamps are not easy to buy, and it has become a focus issue that can attract social attention at the moment."

So his words caused everyone to fall into collective thinking.

At this time, Ning Weimin paused thoughtfully, deliberately leaving some time for everyone to digest.

Then he went on to elaborate on his point of view.

"The Golden Monkey stamp is the first zodiac stamp issued after the founding of the People's Republic of my country. In 1980, this thing cost eight cents a piece, and no one paid attention to it on the counter of the post office. Many people bought it at that time, just to Sending letters. But at that time, I felt that the future of this kind of stamps was great."

"Why? Because everyone in our country has a zodiac sign, so this kind of stamp has special commemorative significance. No matter whether you are a stamp collector or not, everyone will love zodiac stamps. How many people in our country are monkeys? Ah? Among a billion people, there are not 100 million, there are always 50 million, right? Not counting birth, old age, illness and death, just in terms of static numbers. The circulation of four to five million is not enough for everyone to have one, it is ten times worse. This A large part of it has been used up, so how much is left?”

"And there is not just one zodiac ticket issued. The twelve zodiac signs cycle, and it takes twelve years to save them all. People who really collect stamps will think about collecting a set when they buy one. This is the zodiac ticket The basic reason why the stamps can rise. And once the zodiac stamps rise, it will be even more incredible. Once people find out that buying this kind of stamps can make money, they will not buy them one or two. Naturally, some people will want to buy in large quantities and wait for the official It’s worth making a profit. Isn’t that what we do? How can we get enough points for the zodiac tickets?”

"Facts have proved that my logic is correct. It has only been four years now. The monkey ticket is already more than 60 yuan a piece. The chicken ticket is 14 yuan, the dog ticket is about 6.5 yuan, and even the pig ticket is touched. One yuan and a half. For a zodiac ticket, the highest appreciation is 800 times, and the lowest is 20 times. Isn’t this a miracle? There is no such thing in the world that can make a fortune. This is the miracle created by the zodiac stamp, the charm of the zodiac stamp. No other stamp can do it."

"Then by analogy, it is obvious that the release of rat tickets will not deviate from this pattern. And based on the current situation, the rat tickets are obviously much more favored than last year's pig tickets. This thing has a value of twenty in a year. Times, I'm afraid that's just the basis. So the question is, should we take this money? If we want to collectively buy goods like crazy and take advantage of the low price and add some fire, will the price of rat stamps skyrocket? Achieve a yearly increase in value of forty or fifty times? Or even higher?”

The myth of getting rich is always the most stimulating.

Hearing Ning Weimin's last few rhetorical questions, the audience couldn't help but hold their breath and stare straight.

It was like seeing the newspapers in their hands turn into pure gold mice dangling in front of their eyes.

That's right! Even these owners who are already extremely rich in the country can't stand Ning Weimin's temptation to use such exaggerated figures.

Think about it, dozens or hundreds of times the profit!

That's so tempting! If the money is deposited in the bank, how much interest will it earn per year?

What's more, didn't "Lao Ma" say it in "Das Kapital"?

"If there is a 10% profit, capital will be used everywhere; if there is a 20% profit, capital will be active; if there is a 50% profit, capital will take desperate risks; for 100% profit If there is a profit, capital will dare to trample all human laws; if there is a profit of more than 300%, capital will dare to commit any crime, and even risk hanging."

If Ning Weimin's calculation is accurate, the business in front of them can make them willing to risk the gallows at least ten times!

Oh shit! Anyone who can't get excited is not a human being!

But then again, excitement is excitement, excitement is excitement.

After all, those present here are senior employees selected by the first foreign company in China.

Ability, brains, as well as work experience and personal qualities are all outstanding in the contemporary era.

No matter what, they also understand that the more serious things happen, the more cautious they must be.

You must try to think about the problem as comprehensively as possible, and think clearly about both the good and bad aspects.

For this reason, some people soon raised questions.

"Manager Ning, is your calculation wrong? We have earned a lot from stamps in the past six months. But it is not as exaggerated as you said. Dozens of times? How can there be so many! I have more than five thousand copies Son, I think I only earned six or seven thousand. Everyone should be about the same as me, right?"

This was met with a chorus of echoes.

Ning Weimin shook his head and easily pointed out the key point.

"Numbers can't deceive people. The reason you earn less is not because my calculations were wrong, but for other reasons. For example, when the pig tickets were first issued, all of you didn't catch up. When you first bought them, It’s probably around 15 cents or 20 cents, right? Then how much did you sell it for?”

"I remember it was you. As soon as the price of the stamps was 25 cents, you were in a hurry to sell it. Instead, you took the initiative to sell it at 2 cents lower, selling it to the stamp dealer named 'Jin Laoliu' for 23 cents each. .Yes or no?"

"Later on, the price of the pig ticket did not drop until it reached 45 cents, and you chased it. But you were unlucky. When you took over, the price dropped. When it didn't reach 50 cents, it dropped to 30 cents. I asked you to make up some money, but you didn't listen. Mine. It went up to 55 cents, and you sold it again. Isn’t that right? If you trade like this, won’t you be able to make a lot of money?”

"Look at me, I bought hundreds of full-page pig tickets for 6.4 yuan. I haven't touched them since. If you don't say that I sold them and bought them back at a profit, just say that I still have them. Here, how much do you think I earned? With a book of six hundred and four, compared to the current price of twelve thousand, I can make a profit of more than ten times."

At this time, Ning Weimin was speechless.

Moreover, everyone in the world likes to judge heroes by their success or failure, and getting rich is also an achievement.

Just because Ning Weimin preserved such results, he was particularly respected.

His image suddenly grew taller in everyone's minds, like a hero who had participated in a famous battle.

The persuasiveness of his words also skyrocketed at the same speed.

At this time, the relatively young manager Gu of the planning department couldn't help but take the lead and take the initiative to cheer for Ning Weimin.

"Yes, we suffered a loss because we didn't stock up on cheap goods. We received the pig tickets at second-hand prices, so when the price goes up, we have to divide it by division, so naturally we suffer a big loss."

"Now I can see that in this industry, you have to be like Manager Ning, hoard a batch of cheap goods at low prices, and then wait until the price goes up before letting them go, in order to really make big money."

"My colleagues, it doesn't matter if we didn't catch up last year. It's okay if we catch up this time. We really have to thank Manager Ning. If he hadn't reminded us, we might have missed this opportunity to make money again."

"Nothing else, let's 'catch mice' together. I think we'll have to listen to Manager Ning on what to do. Let's just let him be our commander. Don't you object?"

Following his call, several younger executives who were similar to him in age also followed suit and expressed their support.

However, others have more ideas because they are older.

Although he was very moved, no one wanted to be a mere face person and let others manipulate him.

You have to make gestures and make moves.

It is best to negotiate good terms and take a certain initiative in it, so that they can feel at ease.

"Manager Ning, let's talk about this. I guess you already have a charter for how you want everyone to do it. Then lay it out and let everyone study it."

"But I have to say something at the beginning. Although it was you who led us all on this road to wealth. And it was you who brought us all together today. Logically speaking, we should let you be the commander. .”

"But your method must be fair and reasonable. Only after everyone is convinced will they be willing to follow up. Cooperation must be willing and mutually beneficial. Are you right?"

Speaking as a representative of another group, Manager Sha’s words contained a hidden edge.

Ning Weimin was not surprised either. He was well-calculated and confident, but nodded in agreement.

"Manager Sha, your idea is also my idea. We have similar considerations."

Then I started to explain in detail.

"Let me make a point here. What I said about commander just now is just a joke. I really don't dare to take it seriously. In essence, I have only been playing with stamps for a few more years than everyone else, and I have more experience in speculating on stamps. So when it comes to speculating on stamps, I will make the decision on when to buy in and when to sell out, which should be in the best interest of everyone."

"In addition, people cannot move without a head, and birds cannot fly without a head. If everyone wants to accomplish such a big thing, they must work together in one place. Unity is strength. If we work together, strength can It has increased several times, and the ability to resist unexpected risks has also increased several times. It also avoids the situation of each working on its own and consuming funds. So from the overall perspective, there must be someone who can make the decision for everyone."

"As for the distribution of benefits, since we pay attention to fairness and reasonableness, there should not be who is higher and who is lower, who is bigger and who is smaller. We all share the money that everyone contributes. Everyone should be treated equally, so that the accounts can be settled easily. Between me So when we want to make the decision, it’s not about taking advantage of more or seeking any special benefits. It’s mainly about being able to act in a unified manner so that we can all advance and retreat together.”

At this point, Ning Weimin suddenly stopped talking and looked at everyone.

However, everyone was thinking collectively and no one spoke for a while.

After a while, Manager Sha took the lead and made his attitude clear.

"There is nothing wrong with the principles you mentioned. The cake must be made first before everyone can share it. I agree. But what about the specific implementation method? You have to explain it carefully. For example, how much money does each person contribute, and then how much money does the big guy have? Leave it to you. How do you plan to manage it and use it?"

Ning Weimin only pondered for a moment and then spoke frankly.

"Since the issuance of rat tickets is about 25.5 million. According to the official price, it is eight cents each, which means the total value is about 2.04 million yuan. Taking into account the amount of issuance in the capital and surrounding cities, at most It will not exceed 30%. So for a rat ticket worth less than 600,000 yuan, according to my estimation, we should be able to control its rise and fall with only half the amount of funds."

"So my plan is that each of us contributes 30,000 yuan. In this way, we can collect 300,000 yuan together. This money and the rat tickets bought with this money will be placed here in the future. For unified deployment. I will buy two safes, one for money and one for stamps, and I will find someone to guard them day and night. As for the keys and passwords of the safes, please recommend two people to take charge of them respectively. In this way, everyone can rest assured."

Manager Sha looked at everyone's expressions and nodded to Ning Weimin again, "What else?"

"If everyone has no objections to this, I can even let everyone make a small fortune first. You must know that our top priority is to receive the full page of rat tickets as soon as possible. So I don't care if you are running around. Stamp sales offices in cities like Men, Baoding, Tangshan, and Zhangjiakou still spend money to hire people with stamp collection certificates to queue up in the capital to buy tickets. Anyway, you should seize the time and do your best to get rat stamps."

"Next Sunday, we will meet here again. Either you bring 30,000 yuan in cash, or you can bring 30,000 rat stamps worth 30,000 yuan with the money. As for the stamps, I am willing to leave a certain profit margin for everyone. The whole page of stamps will be based on the same The value is calculated as ten yuan. In other words, if any of you really want to get three thousand full-page rat tickets, it will be calculated as the value of thirty thousand. What do you think?"
