National Tide 1980

Yes, bubble bursting is painful.

Whether it was stamps, Clivia, or cars, the sudden changes in market conditions and the sharp market drop after May 1985 were like opening the door to hell for market participants.

It has brought painful experiences to countless people and brought many people to the end of their rope.

As a survivor, even thinking about it in the future will still scare me.

But everything must be viewed in two.

Even in such a situation that can be called a disaster, there will always be a small number of people who welcome it and feel extremely comfortable.

Take stamps as an example. The staff of the postal system and philatelic companies are eager for stamps to fall as soon as possible so that the market situation can return to normal.

Speaking of which, many people may not believe that the impact of stamp fraud on people like them is actually negative.

Not only has the happiness index of this group dropped sharply, it has even reached the point where it is unbearable and unbearable.

For no other reason than because there are too many people looking for them to buy stamps!

They suddenly discovered that there were so many people in the world who knew them, and there were so many people who wanted to buy stamps from them.

Neighbors, middle school classmates, seventh aunts, eighth aunts, and even strangers who can't hit eight sticks all think that relevant practitioners must have stocks internally, and come to their door through various channels.

And most of the people who ask for them directly ask for zodiac tickets by name as soon as they open their mouth. This is simply embarrassing!

Even if they are not afraid of losing face and telling the truth, telling others that they can't buy it won't work.

Because whether someone believes it or not is one thing, but whether someone is willing to believe it or not is another matter.

There are many people who, relying on their close relationships, stubbornly refuse to leave, insisting on forcing others to do something difficult, and entangle them to death.

Because of this, the family harmony of workers in the postal system and philatelic companies suffered a serious blow.

Family conflicts have increased, and so have marital quarrels.

If you really have some position and power, you will be worried all the time.

They are afraid of seeing neighbors asking for help when they go out, and they are also afraid of hearing the fawning greetings of acquaintances on the street.

Even on the way to work, no matter who looks up at me or whispers on the street corner, they will nervously feel that others recognize them.

Even when I come to work, I am full of fear when the phone rings. Any knock on the door will make people jump with fear for a long time.

It is equivalent to living under a huge psychological pressure, always walking on the edge of depression.

Therefore, rising stamps are by no means a blessing to them, but mean there will never be peace.

In turn, only a sharp market decline can return their lives to normal.

Just like Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" always kills the talkative Tang Monk, they also think about it day and night, hoping that "when the sword falls, the whole world will be pure!"

Fortunately, this wish finally came true at the end of May.

As soon as the postal market began to plummet, some people within the postal system and philatelic companies took the lead in cheering.

The more the market fell, the more they cheered and their morale doubled.

Finally, when the market turned into a dead place that no one cares about, not only did the employees become more motivated to work, but even the leaders, who were usually intimidated by everyone, became much kinder and rarely smiled.

This can be regarded as an anecdote.

Of course, to say that the winners who can really make huge profits from it are those bookmakers who are brave, resourceful and clever, and have indeed made real money from the market.

There are only a few of these people. Those who dare to place bets will stop when they see good results, and even fewer will escape unscathed.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the Pierre Cardon investment group, headed by Ning Weimin and involved in manipulating the rat vote market, is one of the best.

They boldly build positions when others are ignorant, increase their positions to cover when others are awakened, and buy at low prices when others are crazy. Then they raise prices again and race against time, quietly exiting the market by giving wholesale profits, and making a lot of money. Full!

If the fruits of their victory were calculated and announced to the outside world, they would probably make the people in the capital angry and scared to death!

You know, the few loose tickets for monkeys, chickens, dogs, and 100 copies of pig tickets in their hands were sold for 290,000.

As for their main investment product, Year of the Rat zodiac tickets, more than 49,000 editions were sold, with a total revenue of 5.28 million.

In addition to the original working capital of more than 90,000 yuan, after excluding the initial cost of 300,000 yuan, the net profit in the end was almost 5.33 million yuan.

According to the average shareholding ratio of ten people, one point is equivalent to everyone who participated in the original investment becoming half a millionaire.

This is still a public account on the surface, and the investment income that belongs entirely to Ning Weimin personally cannot be known to outsiders.

Otherwise, even these friends who speculated stamps with him would be jealous and crazy with jealousy.

Don't forget, Ning Weimin only wholesaled 15,000 rat stamps in Shanghai and cashed out more than 1.4 million.

This does not include the 2,000 editions he sold for the investment group and the precious stamps he exchanged for 3,000 editions of rat stamps with He Jun.

In Huacheng, he used a thousand versions of pig tickets to get even more cash.

Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao sold it for him at a good price, more than 2.2 million yuan.

In addition, after returning to Beijing, Ning Weimin set a price bottom line for the private goods in his hands.

He asked Yin Yue to bring a message to Old Fengtou, and he told Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao, "As long as the monkey ticket is more than 300 yuan, the chicken ticket is more than 100 yuan, the dog ticket is more than 60 yuan, and the pig ticket is more than 1,000 yuan for the whole page, you Just follow the market and go out of your way to take out food for me."

So even if the postal market plummeted, the two groups of people who shipped goods for him continued to sell stamps until Children's Day.

Under what others mistakenly thought was a "low sale" that was a loss of blood, another 1.4 million was obtained for him.

In this way, after returning to Baodu'er, Ning Weimin's private cash-out figures are basically comparable to those of the investment group.

The same is as high as five million.

However, on the other hand, what is the cost to him personally?

It was nothing more than using 120,000 yuan to privately acquire 18,000 rat tickets last year, and spending 10,000 yuan to collect 1,000 pig tickets the year before.

As for those monkeys, dogs, and chickens, because they sold loose tickets and even few couplets and four-party couplets, the cost was even lower.

If I had to do the math, it would only cost more than two thousand yuan. It was like pocket money, and the cost was almost negligible.

Think about it, his cost is 60% lower than that of the investment group. How much profit has this business made?

To be honest, even if Ning Weimin has spent so many years, the cost of building positions all the way from the monkey ticket is included.

Even though Ning Weimin had always insisted on taking at least 2,500 full-page tickets as a bottom position for each zodiac ticket before Zhu Piao, and insisted on locking in the number of 200,000 tickets and not selling them.

But because he is a foodie, he can buy up to ten yuan per edition, which means that the total cost is only an extra two hundred and fifty thousand yuan.

This amount of money was enough to be wiped out by the 540,000 net profits he obtained from the gang's public accounts.

Therefore, after Ning Weimin finished this job, he gained more than just a net profit of 5 million.

He also had the power to firmly control the zodiac ticket market in the future, turning the postal market into his own money-sucking pump.

To put it bluntly, he has so many of the most precious zodiac tickets in his hands, and he has the final say on the market price of the zodiac tickets.

Whether he sends the zodiac ticket to heaven or to earth, it all depends on his personal preference.

As long as the postal department does not print additional stamps, he will always be invincible in the market of zodiac tickets.

And don’t forget, because so far, he has paid back the costs he has paid over the years in one fell swoop.

From now on, even if he gets into trouble, it doesn't matter. No matter how much he loses, the rest will be pure profit.

This means that when he is really speculating on stamps, he can do whatever he wants, even if it is a brainless operation, no matter how coquettish the operation is!

In short, if He Jun, who is far away in Shanghai, has successfully been crowned the King of Shanghai and Shanghai through this first stamp bull market.

Then Ning Weimin successfully ascended the throne of the postal market emperor, and the zodiac tickets became his private territory from then on.

With the first-mover advantage and bottom position, anyone who dares to challenge him with the help of zodiac tickets will be sent to the guillotine at his command.

Even Ning Weimin himself couldn't help feeling emotional when faced with such a rich harvest.

Probably throughout the 1980s, there was no business more cost-effective than speculating on zodiac stamps.

Because even if it falls like this, based on the current price, the market value of the monkey ticket in his hand alone has exceeded 60 million.

If chickens, dogs, and pigs are all counted, 100 million is almost the same.

This is 1985!

Although this number is theoretical and it takes time and market conditions to cash out, it is scary enough.

In just four and a half years of co-authorship, he has made his initial investment appreciate more than two thousand times, with an average appreciation of almost four hundred times a year.

This is a return on investment that even Wall Street can't dream of.

What's more important is that these stamps will continue to appreciate at this rate in the future. Ning Weimin knows very well that the next stamp bull market will come back again in less than three years.

All I can say is that the postal market of the Republic is so great!

Ning Weimin is not a stingy person, nor is he an idiot.

Although now, he is eager to have more and more money in his hands, so as to increase the capital for harvesting Japanese leeks as much as possible.

But he understands better that a hero has three gangs and a fence has three stakes.

He knew very well that although he was the leader who planned everything for this stamp speculation, he would definitely not be able to get so fat without the help of his trusted people.

Moreover, in the future, he hopes that his career will become bigger and bigger, and he cannot do without the help of others.

So he roughly summarized his personal income, and the next thing was to reward him based on his merits.

Since the account with Yin Yue was the easiest to settle, first of all, he took out 100,000 yuan and put it in a bag and took it to Tianqiao Department Store to hand it over to Yin Yue.

He said that he was speculating on stamps to make Yin Yue famous, so he asked the girl to go to the bank and deposit money into her account.

But this reward was something Yin Yue didn't expect. She was so frightened that she refused it repeatedly.

"No, no, no. Mr. Ning, I am on your salary. Isn't it right to work for you? Besides, I also made a lot of money with you in the postal market. And in the first few days, you just gave me 20,000 That’s a lot of money.”

Ning Weimin had already expected that she would refuse and had his own excuse. "Not to mention the more than 20,000 yuan, it was given by others and has nothing to do with me. Take it, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Distribution according to work is reasonable. You don't know how much you helped me. If it weren't for I know, you made money by speculating on stamps with me, but I still can’t get rid of this hundred thousand. Don’t you think it’s too little?”

But Yin Yue did not accept this idea of ​​coaxing the child.

"Mr. Ning, please stop being rude to me. Have you forgotten? I still owe you money. I haven't given you the money you paid for plugging holes, paying off debts, and redeeming stamps for me. To be honest, I still owe you money." Two days ago, I was planning to send you money, why did you let this happen the other way around?"

Ning Weimin finally remembered and laughed.

"If you don't tell me, I really forgot about it. Forget it, don't mention it again, you will keep the money. For no other reason, your living conditions are too bad. Whether you buy a hospital or a building, It's up to you. In short, use this money to improve it. If I want my right-hand man to live in the sewer, then my boss is too incompetent. Although I don't have the power to allocate rooms to you, I have to let you You can still do it by buying a house that was given extra by others. Besides, your grandma is getting older, so she should live more comfortably..."

These words hit Yin Yue's core. She was stunned for a moment, and then showed unbelievable excitement.

"Buying a house? Can I buy a house? Mr. Ning? Is...is this allowed in this country? Can I even buy a building?"

Ning Weimin scratched his head, but he didn't expect that Yin Yue didn't understand the policies related to home purchase at all.

But then I thought about it, that's true.

People in this era have been restricted in their thinking patterns since childhood, not to mention that this is not the information age.

If people don't think about it in normal times and don't take the initiative to inquire about it, how can they know the relevant information?

Even he didn't know he could buy a house until several months later. Yin Yue's reaction of being confused and confused is really not surprising.

"You can buy it!" Ning Weimin answered affirmatively and gave a general introduction to the relevant situation. "But private houses are all bungalows. It's pointless if you don't buy a yard. It's hard to find a yard without tenants. If you have tenants, you have to find a way to clear it out, which is also troublesome. It's convenient to buy a building, but what you buy is the right to rent, and We can only conduct disguised transactions by exchanging houses. Well, don’t frown. I have an acquaintance named Meng Yi in the housing management bureau, and he knows all the tricks here. I went back to say hello to him, and I have his phone number. Here it is, just ask him to handle this matter. If you have any requirements, just ask him. After you buy the house, don’t forget to give him a reward of 1,800 yuan. "

"Okay, okay, okay... Don't worry, the reward is easy to say, and I will definitely not embarrass you." Yin Yue was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.

But after agreeing, he became even more insistent and refused to accept the money.

"Mr. Ning, you tell me such good news. This is better than any reward. I have money to buy a house. I sold all the stamps and earned more than 200,000 yuan. So I will return the money to you. , is enough. Just..."

"Just what? With this money, you can buy a few more houses. Are there still too few houses? Do you have two younger brothers? They are not allowed to take wives in the future? You need to buy at least three houses..."

"That's enough, not to mention that I will make money in the future. Stop talking. You saved me and gave me such a good job. I don't know how to repay you. You really want to reward me. , Just don’t forget to take me with you when you are speculating for stamps in the future..."

"Hey, I've never seen you like this. You don't even want the free money. Are you stupid?"

Ning Weimin saw that he couldn't force it, so he had to give up.

"In this case, if you don't want the money, then don't, but don't mention the debt between us again. That matter has been settled and written off..."

Yin Yue was stunned again, and this time he finally nodded hesitantly.

"Also, from now on, whether it is a street clothing factory or a Playboy, Champs Elysees, or National Style store, you will have 5% of my income..."

"Ah?" Yin Yue didn't expect Ning Weimin to have more to say. This time, she was even more shocked and panicked than the one hundred thousand yuan.

Five percent doesn't sound like much.

But Yin Yue is Ning Weimin's chief accountant, and no one knows better than her what Ning Weimin promised her!

Now even the factory and the store make a combined profit of less than 300,000 yuan a month.

Not to mention that the factory will recruit enough manpower in the future, and it will be even higher.

Calculated based on the current figure, the so-called five percent is at least 180,000 a year.

And doing this every year is equivalent to Ning Weimin giving her an imported Crown car for free every year.

There is no doubt that this is an amazing reward.

Even the top leaders of Shougang and No. 1 Machine Tool Factory will not receive such treatment.

"No, no, stop scaring me. This is scarier than giving you 100,000 yuan! I will always owe you! How could I? How dare I?"

"Hey, one code equals one code. A person's value will eventually match his ability. Why are you so stubborn? This matter is not negotiable! If my assistant doesn't have this courage, how about it?"

This time Ning Weimin finally showed his boss style and no longer allowed Yin Yue's refusal.

"I'm going abroad soon. How dare I trust you if you don't agree? How dare I hand over the factory and store to you? We don't have any common interests that are tied to each other!"

"But...but, Ganlu is also working very hard. She also manages three stores. Why didn't you give her such a reward..."

Yin Yue was probably at her wits end. In desperation, she even sacrificed her sisters as a shield.

"That's different. Ganlu works for the company. You work for me. Can you two be the same? Didn't you just say you wanted to speculate on stamps with me? Can I still talk to Ganlu about this kind of thing? Can’t we discuss it?”

Ning Weimin was very convincing and even gave an ultimatum.

"If you really don't agree, that means our fate is over. And I will be in big trouble. You are forcing me, do you know? You are forcing me to find someone else to replace you. Drop you. You want that? Huh?"

Of course Yin Yue didn't want it, so in the end she had no choice but to succumb.

Just look at what happened.

In fact, what's the matter? Isn't it just that the boss wants to send warmth to his subordinates?

Why does it seem like there is no tomorrow before today...
