National Tide 1980

"Everyone is rushing to buy zodiac tickets now, and the numbers are rising so fast!"

Zhao Daqing from the design and development department was so happy that he didn't care about smoking the cigarette in his hand and always waved it in the air.

"Weimin, I didn't believe you when you said it could increase at least twenty times, but now it's already more than ten times. It's just as you expected. But the question is where is this going? Isn't it too early to release the goods now? A little bit?"

He felt a little embarrassed, finally took a puff of cigarette and explained.

"I'm not greedy. But... didn't you say it will increase for at least a year and a half? It's possible that the rat ticket will increase forty or fifty times. With such a good momentum, there should be quite a lot of room for continued growth, right?"

Qi Yanjun from the product department also held a cup of tea and said, "Yeah, it's hard to get zodiac stamps now, and there are very few supplies on the market. The more prices go up, the more people buy them. In the past two months, even the stamp dealers have learned this lesson. , we can only get in but not get out. If we ship the goods now, wouldn’t we be in trouble with ourselves and give money to others in vain?”

Manager Sha pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and considered to prove why the stamps should not be sold.

"Weimin, we all work in foreign-funded enterprises. There are some things that we understand even if you don't say them. This was evident from the thank you banquet we attended for your Tan Gong Bei Divine Chef at the beginning of the month. Those who use walkie-talkies are from special departments. Is that someone? You rarely come here recently, and you let Guang Liang do the talking. Do you also have this concern? "

"But I think you should be cautious, but there is really no need to worry too much about policy risks. As you said at the beginning, this stamp is originally allowed to be bought and sold, and the guide price on the national stamp album changes every year. This means that it is allowed by law. And didn’t you say that if the sky falls, there will still be a big one to hold it up. Our stamp speculation is incomparable to Changchun’s Clivia speculation."

"I have been paying attention to the trends in Changchun over the past year. Don't tell me, they are really big at it. I read the news in the newspaper and found that one-fifth of CC citizens are speculating on Clivia. A pot of flowers can sell for tens of thousands. . The three treasures of Guandong are not as good as a grass in Changchun. Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi showed off their singing voices for Clivia. Painter Fan Zeng painted for Clivia. Master Hou Baolin said cross talk for Clivia. Hundreds of thousands of people were involved in the Clivia trading market, and it was boiling. , a frenzy.”

"But what happens now? Not only does the state not care about it, Clivia has been designated as the city flower of Changchun. CC City will continue to vigorously develop the flower industry. To support the masses in making a fortune from Clivia, each household must plant at least three to five plants. CC The city held a press conference to cancel all original price limit orders. Clivia should be regarded as the foundation of their city."

"So I was thinking, will our stamps also get support from the superiors? The knowledge threshold for these stamps is higher than that of flowers, and the high price of stamps can directly benefit the national postal department. Why do the superiors let Clivia go? But it makes no sense to worry about us speculating on stamps! Right? At the very least, we should be treated equally!"

After this impassioned speech, combined with investigation and research, Manager Sha finally showed his face.

Everyone present in the room applauded Manager Sha's logical speech.

Xiao Gu from the planning department even applauded and said he felt ashamed.

I think Manager Sha should not be in charge of logistics and internal affairs, but should be in charge of planning.

Even Ning Weimin nodded and smiled, admitting that Manager Sha's opinion made sense.

"Yes, the cultural level of stamps is not low, and it is good for the country's tax revenue. It should be strongly supported by the superiors. Manager Sha is right, stamps really have far more development potential than Clivia. So let's speculate on stamps. In fact, in the long run, there is really a lot to be done. Even if someone discovers it now, it won’t cause too much trouble. I admit all this."

But he changed the topic and added, "But the problem is that the price of these stamps has been too high recently. The rat stamps are 80 yuan a piece, and the unit price of the pig stamps has reached 15 yuan. The dog stamps are 60 yuan a piece. , the chicken ticket is one hundred, the monkey ticket is about three hundred..."

"Isn't this good?" Zhao Daqing couldn't help but interject, but then he realized that he was being abrupt.

He held his fists in embarrassment and apologized repeatedly to Ning Weimin.

"I'm sorry, I'm so happy. I'm not interrupting sincerely. Manager Ning, please continue."

Ning Weimin smiled and didn't care.

The other people watching also showed understanding looks, and soon everyone was attracted by Ning Weimin's words.

"What I mean is that there is nothing that lasts forever. As for any commodity, the price will fluctuate. Even in the era when the state is responsible for pricing, there will be adjustments. Even Clivia does not rise all the way to the end. Doesn't it also go through the process in the middle? It's turbulent. Then why do the stamps in our hands only rise and never fall? Instead of falling, why not let us take the initiative to let it fall. This way we have stronger control and prevent the benefits from being shared by others in advance."

"Weimin, do you think our stamps are going to fall? Is there any basis for this?"

Manager Sha asked seriously on behalf of everyone who was already lost in thought.

"It's very simple. The monkey ticket has always been the leader of the zodiac ticket. In the past, all the zodiac tickets rose with the monkey ticket. In other words, the big market trend of the zodiac ticket is based on the monkey ticket. Then naturally the monkey ticket will If it goes up, it will rise the most. Other zodiac tickets will have different reductions in increase depending on the year and circulation. It is rare that the monkey ticket does not move and other zodiac tickets will increase by themselves. As long as the monkey ticket price falls, other zodiac tickets will rise. Zodiac tickets will fall even more.”

"But recently the situation has been reversed. If you still remember, at the beginning of the year, when the monkey stamp was 70 yuan, the rat stamp was only a dime. The comparison between the two stamps is 700 times. The chicken stamp was 14.5 yuan, too. One hundred and forty-five times the rat ticket. But as I said just now, although the monkey ticket has increased, the gap between the monkey ticket and the rat ticket has now become three hundred times, and the chicken ticket is one hundred times. Obviously, the price The multiples are starting to turn upside down.”

"What does this abnormality mean? It means that people in the market have begun to fear high prices for monkey tickets. They dare not buy to chase the high prices. They only dare to continue to speculate on lower-priced rat tickets and pig tickets. So You might as well think about it, if the monkey ticket starts to stagnate and the price does not move for several days, will someone start to sell the monkey ticket at this time? What will happen next?"

Ning Weimin's words undoubtedly hit the key point of the whole matter, and the whole room immediately became silent.

Only the blue mist from burning cigarettes was floating in the sunlight, highlighting several faces with tense expressions.

Even Luo Guangliang, who did not participate in the meeting and was reading the newspaper by himself, and Xiao Tao, who was telling his fortune with playing cards, seemed to understand.

They also stopped what they were doing and looked at Ning Weimin with shocked expressions.

"...Actually, this is normal. The issue price of the stamp is printed on the face of the stamp. It is easier to see the increase than the Clivia whose cost is unclear. Think about it, how long has it been since 1980 to today? The monkey stamp has gone from the stamp value to Eight cents becomes three hundred yuan. This is an increase of more than 3,000 times. It can be calculated clearly. Who is not afraid of the common people? Who dares to take advantage of it? "

"And the monkey ticket has greatly exceeded Mei Lanfang's small sheet. That small sheet was worth three yuan issued in 1962. Because of this, although I am optimistic about the zodiac ticket for a long time, I am even more optimistic about the monkey ticket. But in this wave of market conditions, It’s obvious that the Monkey Ballot’s public support has almost reached its peak.”

"If you still want the monkey ticket to increase, it's not impossible, but then you can't sit comfortably in a sedan chair. Let's forget about making money while lying down. We have to use our own money to raise the price..."

At this point, Manager Sha was already convinced.

He slapped his forehead. "It makes sense, it makes sense. I'm afraid of competition when it comes to everything. So, this industry is pretty much the same."

Then he began to change his stance and advocate for Ning Weimin.

"What do you think? Do you have any questions? I now support Manager Ning. Manager Ning is worthy of being a master. He knows the subtleties and makes sense with logic. I also think it's time to sell."

"support!"

"agree!"

"Can!"

"Sell it!"

"It's so dangerous..."

All nine people present except Ning Weimin raised their hands to pass.
