Chapter 592 The Big Scene
Actually, Zhang Shihui didn’t know that Ning Weimin didn’t want him to get involved, and it was really for his own good.
Ning Weimin is well aware of the negative aspects of speculating.
Getting money from this is like pulling chestnuts from the fire.
It is an extreme challenge to human nature, full of temptations and traps, and as addictive as gambling.
If you fail to adhere to principles, abide by the bottom line, and allow greed to spread, you will be in doom.
As Gordon, played by Michael Douglas, said in the movie "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps".
“This is a road of no return leading to bankruptcy. This is a systemic and global vicious cycle, just like cancer, a terminal disease.”
Yining Weimin My understanding of Zhang Shihui does not mean that Zhang Shihui’s character is likely to adapt to the environment and rules of this game and have the potential to become a winner.
Then for Zhang Shihui, the result must be a tragedy.
Although it is not difficult to make money with his buddies, Ning Weimin does not want to personally turn his good buddies into a useless person waiting for help.
It is even more impossible to take care of Zhang Shihui like a child for a lifetime.
Now that we know that no matter how much Zhang Shihui earns by following him, she will lose if she leaves him in the end.
It would be better to let Zhang Shihui never have it.
What's more, since he is speculating himself, he naturally has no time to take care of official matters.
At this time, you really need people like Zhang Shihui to help you take care of your home.
To be honest, there are many people around him who can help him, but he only trusts this buddy who has been with him all the way.
On the contrary, the people at Pierre-Carton's head office didn't actually hold much weight in his heart.
Those people are just a cover for sharing risks for him in this business, they are just tool people.
The reason why he is willing to share the sweetness with them is just to get some effective help in terms of funds, manpower, and chips to make this matter safer and easier.
In addition, he also needs to stand with those people in order to hide his identity as the boss behind the scenes deeper.
As the saying goes, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.
Although he is certain that nothing will happen to this stamp speculation, he must also make defensive preparations for unexpected "black swan" events.
These executives, the connections and social relationships behind them, when combined, are quite a huge force.
Not to mention the dozen company executives, together they are equivalent to more than half of Pierre Carton.
Even if someone does find out about the stamp hype, they will investigate it all the way to their heads.
I am afraid that because there are too many people involved in this matter, it is impossible for Song Huagui to abandon his troops to save his chariot and ignore them.
And if something happens to most of Pierre Carton's senior executives, the higher-ups will definitely be alerted.
The relevant departments will definitely handle it very carefully.
Even if the law is ruthless, if there are more than a dozen people sharing the blame for this kind of thing, the blame that falls on you will naturally be much lighter.
To put it another way, at least it still has the function of the enchantment array.
After finding this out, no one would have thought that he secretly made a huge bet behind the backs of these executives.
This is Ning Weimin’s real plan!
Think about it, this guy is the biggest profiteer hidden behind the two-layer curtain.
However, he took the lowest risk and still allowed these people to appreciate him.
What is revenue maximization?
This is called maximizing profits!
The phrase "being a bitch and building a memorial arch" is no longer enough to describe him.
The word "true" must be added in front of this sentence.
As for Ning Weimin, he would bring Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao in to help, not only because they really need helpers like them who can get around on the streets, but also because these two people are not big-hearted and are very content with their lives.
In addition, the master-slave relationship was clearly established from the beginning. Luo Guangliang is stable and has a backbone, and he can also control Xiao Tao.
There are no hidden dangers in this cooperation, either for Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao or Ning Weimin himself.
Finally, the participation logic behind stamp speculation is even simpler to say.
You must know that having enough food and clothing not only stimulates desire, but also encourages greed.
Contemporary people are still very simple, especially in terms of economy.
To put it in a bad way, it means being well-controlled.
So in the past, when there was no money, people would not even think about speculation.
Most people's attitude towards poverty is to let nature take its course, in one word - tolerance.
But things are different now. The country has relaxed economic controls, people's income has increased, and their yearning and desire for a better life have increased.
But with the money you have, it is impossible to buy everything you want in one go.
At this time, if people find that besides taking money from their mouths and saving little by little, there is another way to make money faster.
And it can double in a short period of time, and you can make money just by lying down.
How many people can resist this temptation?
This is due to human nature and has nothing to do with the consumer needs represented by people in the 1950s and 1960s.
What’s more important is that the current social situation not only has people’s desires, but also has the right time and location.
my country's reform has a very significant feature, that is, it is highly cyclical.
Every three to five years, a governance rectification was carried out, which was later called "macro-control."
In the early days, reforms began in 1978. By 1981, the economy was overheating and the economy began to brake suddenly.
After the sudden brake, the economy slowly recovered. By the end of 1983, the economy showed signs of overall recovery.
In early 1984, the great man visited the South to deliver a speech, and the economy began to heat up again.
Judging from the current release of the "Beijing Construction Master Plan" and the fact that the main topic of the National Economic Conference is to improve economic efficiency, Ning Weimin knows that the country has started printing money again and is about to turn on the faucet for the capital.
Then the funds released by the government will naturally go through various channels in large quantities, and finally sink to the private sector.
As a result of several wage adjustments, the people in Beijing have widened their distance from other second-tier cities.
It can be said that this place has more money than elsewhere, which is of course extremely conducive to speculation.
What’s more, because people in big cities opened up early and have developed economies, they can see more good things than other places.
Naturally, people have strong desires and cannot resist temptation.
So at this time, stamps set off the first round of bull market in Beijing. From a historical perspective, it is completely logical and it will happen naturally.
But everything that Zhang Shihui did not understand was so natural and reasonable in Ning Weimin's eyes.
…………
February 12, 1984, the first Sunday after everyone returned to work after the Spring Festival.
This day is destined to be recorded in the history of the development of my country's stamps.
Because in Beijing, philatelic enthusiasts want to buy zodiac rat stamps.
A scene even more shocking than what happened on January 5, 1984, when the zodiac rat tickets were sold out on the first day of sale!
Dear the "rat making" scene this year, because Ning Weimin's lurking created a butterfly effect, making the scene of queuing up all night even more popular than in the original history.
After the incident, many newspapers' exaggerated reports and numerous letters from the public put great pressure on the postal department.
In addition, the sales department of the Philatelic Corporation is really scared. They have never encountered so many people asking to buy stamps. Therefore, in line with the attitude of being responsible to stamp collectors and collectors, the postal department held a special meeting for this purpose and thought of many ways to improve the sales of zodiac tickets for the Year of the Rat.
In the end, it was decided that, in view of the huge enthusiasm of stamp collectors in Beijing, we would simply collect all the Year of the Rat zodiac stamps for sale in Beijing and get them to an open and large enough place. , hold a special sale.
Each stamp sales department has stopped selling Year of the Rat zodiac stamps so that they can work normally.
The leaders of the philatelic company even planned to take the opportunity to sell the overstocked stamps in various sales departments, so as to turn bad things into good things.
In this way, the venue was finally selected at the Workers' Stadium, and the philatelic companies decided to go there collectively to "practice their stalls."
They temporarily rented office space at the stadium.
The office on the east side has a sign called "Sales Group".
More than a hundred people are arranged inside, and they are responsible for sales in shifts.
There is an office behind the sales team, and there are about a hundred people in it, who have signed a letter to the "security team" and are responsible for maintaining order.
Behind the security team is the logistics team, about thirty people.
Mainly responsible for transporting philatelic products for sale and arranging meals for sales and security staff.
Behind the logistics team is the emergency team, which is actually the most powerful team.
Because it is composed of leaders of philatelic companies and leaders of the Public Security Bureau, specializing in handling emergencies.
No one can deny that such a lineup is indeed taken seriously.
When this plan was reported to superiors, no flaws were found.
So the matter was approved, and advertisements were published in the "Beijing Evening News" and "Beijing Daily", announcing to the public the latest sales method of the Year of the Rat zodiac stamps.
Sunday, 9am to 5pm, Workers Stadium, you need to bring your stamp card, each person is limited to two editions.
But God’s calculations are not as good as those of humans. The Philatelic Corporation thought that there was no situation that four to five hundred people could not handle, but they made two miscalculations.
First, the Workers' Stadium is too wide and it is difficult to maintain order.
The second is that there are "bad guys" who have been planning for a long time and got involved.
He actually stayed at the workers' sports sales site and bought rat tickets at a high price.
So this day has still become a day that makes the staff of the philatelic company exhausted and worried.
It was around six o'clock in the morning that day, and it was just beginning to light up.
The north gate and east gate of Gongti are boiling...
According to visual inspection, there were at least two to three thousand people at each door, and at least half of them were impatiently surrounding the iron fence at the door, looking straight inside with their toes up.
Such a scene should have caused alarm, and there was time to make arrangements.
But the problem is that the Workers' Stadium can accommodate 62,000 spectators. This is common for people in the stadium, and they don't care too much.
I didn’t even say hello to the people from the philatelic company or the Public Security Bureau.
As a result, when eight o'clock arrived, the people from the Workers' Stadium opened the door.
In this way, we will wait for the postal service staff to prepare for the opening.
Seeing the huge crowds of people inside the workers' gymnasium, I was so nervous that I was sweating, worried that order could not be maintained.
When the person in charge of the philatelic company arrived and saw it, he was even more shocked.
He felt that if he started selling like this, more than 20,000 people would rush forward and squeeze in front of the sales stall, and the order would undoubtedly be chaotic.
So leaders of various departments were urgently summoned to discuss countermeasures.
"Let me tell you, what time is it? Why are so many people here? Are they all buying stamps? There are so many more people than on January 5th. It's too weird."
< br>Every one of his subordinates replied in a variety of ways.
“Manager, these people should be queuing up to buy stamps, and there are many people hiring people to queue up.”
“No, no, no, not necessarily, one of our people here is not A good habit is to like to watch the excitement. When I came here just now, I saw many people coming in for morning exercises, and some old men were carrying bird cages, obviously watching the excitement.”
“ Leader, yes, there seems to be a tricycle selling tofu bread and sesame cakes over there. Should we check the stamp certificates in their hands? If not, we should clear them out..."
The last one is indeed right.
Unfortunately, it’s too late. More than 20,000 people have come in, how can we screen them? How to clean it up?
Check one by one, how many should we check? It's almost time to decide whether the stamps are still for sale.
So we have no choice but to improvise and send someone with a loudspeaker to walk around the scene and shout.
The first is to standardize the queue, and inform the sales principles and details at the same time. Those who do not line up and do not show their stamp card will not be sold.
Secondly, I also want to tell those watching the excitement that we are selling stamps here.
If you don’t have a stamp card, you can’t buy one even if you queue up, so leave quickly.
The third is to quickly ask the workers to close the iron gate outside. The people who come later cannot let it go again, and they have to wait for the customers inside to "digest" it.
Don’t tell me, this really works.
Many people who came for good things actually dispersed as soon as they figured out what was going on and felt that it had nothing to do with them.
The order on site was also well maintained. Although the queue was a bit chaotic, it was still lined up.
At nine o'clock in the morning, it was almost time for retail sales. The postal fans were all smiling and looking forward to it...
At this time, the scene was in chaos again, making a lot of noise.
The manager of the philatelic company was naturally very anxious.
"What's going on? There's chaos when the sale is about to begin? Who is making trouble outside?"
His subordinates came to report, "Manager, something bad happened. People at the back are pushing to the front, and some people are blocking the queues maliciously. The order is a bit chaotic..."
The manager was dissatisfied, "Go and send someone to maintain order. , We can’t sell it in such chaos!”
The subordinates said, “The security team has passed, but it is probably difficult to control the order because there are too many people in the queue, and they are afraid that they will not be able to buy at the back. . ”
That’s not the end of it for you, because there’s a commotion inside and there’s still a commotion outside at the iron gate.
More people, people from far away, continued to come to Gongti to gather.
They saw that they couldn't even get through the iron gate, and it was so noisy inside.
Everyone thought that there was no hope of buying this zodiac stamp, and their emotions collapsed.
Some people began to "talk painfully about the history of revolutionary families" and tell the reasons for their late arrival.
Some people say how much they love stamp collecting and have been inseparable from stamps for some time.
Some people took out their stamp certificates to prove that they were senior hardcore players.
Then they started to push forward together.
The people outside, whether they were holding on to the railings or on tiptoes, all shouted "We want to buy stamps!"
As a result, more people were attracted to watch the fun, and they also wanted to Come in and join in the grand occasion.
Whoever sees it, this situation will hardly end peacefully!
The person in charge of the philatelic company felt his hands and feet go cold when he saw this scene.
He had never seen a formation before, and it felt like a military drill when he was in the army.
I regretted it so much. I thought it would be better to sell it at the sales department at Hepingmen. It felt a bit like being trapped in a cocoon.
