Chapter 159 Taking the throne
Whether it’s Huo Xin’s apology or Zhang Shihui’s admiration.
Ning Weimin didn't even take it seriously, he just forgot about it.
Even on June 5, 1981, the newspaper published the news that AIDS had been discovered in the United States and five cases of the disease were announced to the world for the first time, but it did not attract his attention.
His current mind is not on these meaningless things at all.
Just concentrate on making money.
There is no way, not counting the compensation for Huo Xin, his other expenses are too high.
Although he was no longer in the fish farming technology business, the room in the Chongwenmen Hotel was comfortable and he did not want to return it.
Besides, it’s so hot in summer that it’s really uncomfortable to light a fire and cook at home, so he often buys food from restaurants outside to eat.
Furthermore, his monthly salary has been promised to the old man, so what if he doesn’t earn some extra money?
Of course, the big spenders must still go to ghost markets, buy antiques, and collect paintings, calligraphy, and stamps.
So don’t say anything, just keep your head down and do it.
Money is something that the more you spend, the more you want to earn. The more you have, the less it is too much.
In June 1981, the home appliance market environment in Beijing also experienced some significant changes.
For example, there are many scalpers who exchange foreign exchange certificates.
Now it is not only the entrance of Jingcheng Hotel and Friendship Store.
Almost everywhere you can see foreigners, including airports, diplomatic apartments, and tourist attractions, people are beginning to engage in this industry.
This directly causes the cost of exchange to rise with the market.
Another example is the entrance to the overseas service department behind the department store.
Some people have also begun to stay here for a long time, spending money to buy home appliances that cannot be used by those who go abroad.
You should know that according to the policies implemented by the country, people who go abroad for a short period of time within three months can bring a total of two duty-free items, one large and one small, into the country each time they go abroad.
People who go abroad for a long time can bring a total of eight duty-free items from four major and four small businesses into the country at a time.
If anyone obtains these indicators, the purchase of home appliances at the Overseas Personnel Service Department will be tax-free.
In this way, the indicator is equal to money.
There are also people who specialize in purchasing internal color TV tickets at the gates of two TV factories in Beijing.
In an era when demand for color TVs exceeded supply, such tickets also turned into money.
And it has become a special ticket resource for speculation.
If the worker sells the ticket for 600 yuan, then the person who bought the color TV ticket can increase it to 800 yuan when he flips it, and it becomes a thousand yuan if he flips it again.
How can it not attract people to flock to it?
There is no doubt that these are factors that have a negative impact on the business of Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui.
But fortunately, the domestic market has huge consumption potential.
These side effects have no impact at all in the face of strong market demand.
Even if domestic color TVs are produced in batches and imported electrical appliances enter the market through more and more channels, traces of color TVs are still hard to find in the market.
As a result, things are more expensive when they are scarce. The more people participate in reselling color TVs, it will also cause the price of color TVs to rise further, much faster than the cost.
Currently, even the domestic price of Venus color TVs, which are priced at 1,350 yuan, has risen to 2,500 yuan on the market.
Therefore, the original imported color TV set that Ning Weimin and others obtained from the internal agents of Youyi Store can naturally be sold for three thousand yuan each. As a result, the profit margin has been expanded, up to 150%.
As for the stamp market where Ning Weimin fought alone, the situation was similar.
Although there are disadvantages, there are more good factors.
The stamps before liberation are becoming increasingly difficult to collect because of their scarcity.
The condition of the stamps before the "movement" was even better.
Ning Weimin's biggest achievement in the past month and a half is that he received two Mei Lanfang souvenirs at a price of 180 yuan each.
Three hundred and forty yuan will give you a picture of the red mountains and rivers of the motherland, and twenty yuan will give you a set of goldfish.
The number of rare tickets purchased has more than doubled than before.
Besides this, the most unexpected negative situation is that the sales of chicken tickets are a bit too popular.
It has only been half a month since the Stamp Corporation announced that the chicken stamps were sold out.
In the entire capital, there are only a few post offices where chicken stamps can be found, and there is no trace of any of them.
Fortunately, he started early, and Ning Weimin had been keeping it in his hands since the year before.
In May, he already had almost 1,700 full-page tickets in his hands.
After getting rid of Huo Xin, when he discovered that the situation was abnormal, he attacked with all his strength.
Finally, the number of chicken tickets in the entire page was rounded up to 2,200, and there were more than a hundred scattered ones.
Although it is much worse than the originally expected acquisition plan of at least 3,000 tickets, it is at least no less than the monkey tickets.
This ensured that his most important plan could be carried out unimpeded.
On the other hand, the benign situation is that the chicken tickets that were bought have not completely disappeared from the market.
Because the people who caused this phenomenon are mainly stamp dealers who want to speculate.
They took advantage of the tight demand for chicken tickets, and of course the purpose was to make money by reselling them.
So don’t look at the post office’s business windows and business halls to buy chicken tickets.
But stamp dealers have everything they need, and the supply is relatively sufficient.
They were selling at the door of the post office. When the eight-cent stamps left the door, the single sheet became 16 cents, and the full-page stamp was 15 cents.
This price certainly drives stamp collectors who want to fill the gap crazy. However, Ning Weimin knew that there was still a huge profit in it, so he bought and bought without hesitation, and successively bought more than 200 full-page tickets.
Of course, after he finished this satisfying mouthful.
The price of a single chicken ticket has quickly skyrocketed to 25 cents per ticket, and 22 yuan for a full-page ticket.
This once again made the hesitant stamp collectors regret it.
And this is not the end.
How can the rise in chicken tickets not affect the related monkey tickets?
To be honest, before the chicken tickets were completely sold out, the monkey tickets on the market had already soared from 2 cents at the beginning of the year to 50 cents each.
This is because Ning Weimin has been seeing monkey tickets in the market since this year.
He swept away the floating goods in the capital too much, resulting in the fact that things are rare and valuable.
It is also because of a recent social incident that has greatly increased the reputation of Monkey Ticket.
The newspaper recently published a piece of social news related to stamp collecting.
It is said that since the Spring Festival this year, the post offices in Beijing and Tianjin have found that the number of letters that cannot be delivered as scheduled has increased significantly.
After many investigations, it was found that it was done by some enthusiasts who had just started collecting stamps.
The purpose is to intercept the exquisite stamps on those letters.
And in the end, it was discovered that 90% of the people went for the monkey ticket on the envelope.
Finally, the newspaper also stated that experts from the "Beijing Drum Tower Philatelic Research Association" gave opinions.
It is said that although the current transfer price of monkey tickets has increased several times compared with when it was issued.
However, taking into account the exquisiteness and difficulty of printing of this stamp, its small circulation, and its special status as the first zodiac stamp.
It is entirely possible to judge that the potential for value-added should be more than this. Over time, the price will definitely be very high.
Needless to say, this news report is like adding a lot of firewood to Ning Weimin's big pot of speculation.
As a result, not only ordinary consumers are worried about mailing problems when sending letters, but they are also unwilling to choose Gengshen Monkey Ticket.
Those real stamp collectors are even more attracted to this kind of monkey stamps.
The price of the monkey ticket immediately jumped sharply, and it reached 50 cents in a blink of an eye.
Think about it, after that, Ning Weimin raised the chicken ticket again. How strong was the monkey ticket?
Of course, I continued to work hard and skyrocketed, reaching 80 cents.
And this is purely a verbal price.
If you can really see the tickets, you can make a deal for just one dollar each!
To put it bluntly, as much as stamp collectors are eager for chicken stamps, their pursuit of monkey stamps must be magnified several times.
The effect of this kind of linked stimulation of hunting cattle across the mountain is much better than that of Ning Weimin eating the goods directly.
So by now, almost all of the people who were flipping stamps were desperately looking for monkey stamps everywhere.
When they see people, they ask for monkey tickets, and their eyes almost turn red.
At this time, Ning Weimin began to release tickets sparsely.
Of course, he will not be satisfied with this and want to take profits.
In fact, this is used to stimulate active transactions.
Because he knows very well that the price of stamps can only continue to rise if there is a transaction.
Otherwise, there will be no goods on the market, and you will freeze if you don’t do it.
Moreover, if the price of stamp products is not determined through repeated transactions, it will not be safe when there is real speculation.
It’s easy to panic.
Of course, he would not release more if he had a far-reaching goal. He would release two or three of them every one or two days, and he would sell them slowly while raising the price.
Just like that, when the dozen or so monkey tickets in his hand were sold, the price of the monkey tickets had already exceeded one yuan and three dollars on the market.
No one has seen such an increase these days!
Such a market situation really shocked everyone.
For this reason, some people began to become unable to sit still. Out of panic and profit, some people also followed suit and released monkey tickets.
And this was also expected by Ning Weimin. He understood the principle of overdoing and underestimating, so of course he had to change his strategy.
I started to guard the area of 1.5 and 1.0 and did the operation of buying low and selling high, trying to keep the price of monkey tickets stable in this range.
At this point, monkey stamps have truly become a hot spot for transactions in front of the stamp company.
Every day, many people stare at the price fluctuations of monkey tickets, and they discuss it endlessly and have discussions full of hope.
What makes Ning Weimin particularly satisfied is that in addition to the monkey ticket, he has begun to create profits for him. Through price fluctuations, he has safely harvested twenty or thirty yuan.
Compared with the historical price, the monkey ticket, which should have only risen to 80 cents in 1983, has already been played to 150 cents in advance.
Under the stimulation of such market conditions, chicken tickets did not fall much, and also successfully stabilized between 20 cents and 250 cents.
Needless to say, the facts have fully proved that his method of controlling the bank is not bad. This is considered a success in the first step.
The market price of monkey tickets is really firmly in his hands now, and he can do whatever he wants with it.
As for what made him even more excited.
He believes that everything he has done should not be regarded as simply changing history.
In fact, he is completely following his own wishes and creating history that no one can do!
