Since ancient times, showing off has been a basic human need.
Some people can go down in history and become legends if they succeed in pretending.
But more people got their faces swollen as soon as they finished showing off.
Like today, He Jun has changed from the former to the latter, experiencing what can be called the most embarrassing scene in his life.
He originally thought that this million in cash would be enough to The negotiating opponent was defeated.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually took it, and it was he who made a fool of himself.
Ning Weimin has more than 14,000 rat tickets in his hand!
According to the price quoted by He Jun himself, it would cost 1.3 million to buy them all.
However, He Jun really had no reserves.
Because the stamp business consumes more funds than any other industry.
All his funds are occupied by stamps. The one million he brought today is already his greatest energy for short-term cash out in the market.
So what does the revelation of the truth bring to He Jun?
It was really crackling, dizzy, tinnitus, and stars in my eyes.
But the more embarrassing thing is yet to come.
Because for He Jun, although he had obviously eaten shit, in order to maintain the dignity he had always maintained in front of his subordinates.
But he had to continue to pretend as if he had eaten the most delicious cake!
What does it mean to live and die to save face?
This feeling of forcing a performance and deliberately showing off is called a disaster.
For this reason, He Jun experienced two societies, the old and the new, in just a few minutes. Not only did he regret it, but he also missed his grandfather Mr. He very much.
For no other reason than he just hated himself. Why did he only focus on learning from his grandfather how to hit people with cash, but he forgot to ask one more question, what if he didn't hit someone to the ground?
But then again, no matter what, this million is still one million.
That’s enough to build a building, but it’s four big boxes of banknotes!
In mainland China these days, not to mention private individuals, but also public institutions, how many people can scrape together such a large amount of cash?
Putting it in front of Ning Weimin like this, the visual impact was very attractive to him.
The most important thing is that you can pick it up and go. This is so important and fits Ning Weimin’s eagerness to cash out.
So in the end, the business was settled.
After much thought, Ning Weimin decided to accept He Jun’s offer.
I agreed to sell most of the Year of the Rat zodiac tickets to him at 40% off the market price, which is ninety yuan per edition.
As for the remaining more than 3,000 Year of the Rat zodiac tickets in Ning Weimin’s hands, what should He Jun do if he wants them but cannot afford to buy them?
This is easy to handle. Since both parties are big players in stamps, it is impossible to have only this kind of stamps.
They came up with a compromise solution, simply exchanging votes for votes.
After negotiation, Ning Weimin used more than 3,000 rat stamps to exchange 67 Mei Lanfang souvenir sheets and 150 sets of Mei Lanfang stamps from He Jun. Two hundred sets of Huangshan, two hundred sets of butterflies, two hundred sets of goldfish, five sets of dragon tickets, two red stamps and a couplet of big red.
In addition, Ning Weimin also agreed to He Jun's additional condition that he would never set foot in the Shanghai-Haihai Postal Market again within three years.
This is the final transaction result.
To be honest, based on the market price alone, Ning Weimin still suffered a loss in the final transaction of exchanging votes.
Because his stamps were exchanged for other people's stamps, the price was 40% off.
Mei Lanfang's souvenirs these days are less than 300 yuan, Mei Lanfang's set is only 180 yuan, and Dalong's set is only 2,500 yuan.
Not to mention that there is an additional clause, which is regarded as "loss of power and humiliation of the country".
But the problem is that the varieties he is interested in are real treasures that are even rarer than rat stamps.
Especially the red print and the large red color of the couplet. It can be said that they are rare and rare stamps. It is luck to see them, let alone buy them.
Otherwise, He Jun would not let go.
They both know this in their hearts, so only they know whether it is really a good deal or not.
In fact, as soon as the transaction was completed, He Jun's secretary, Xie Ling, the girl who was responsible for knocking on the door to invite people today, felt sorry for her boss.
"Boss, do we really need the last three thousand editions? Why did you exchange such precious stamps for him? We can't get those stamps easily. Didn't you say that before? So I'm in a hurry. I can't find any good stamps in markets across the country. What if I can't buy them back in the future?"
However, unlike Xie Ling's calculations, He Jun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. , looking at the blue sky in the distance, but he seems broad-minded and heroic.
"One moment and another. Think about it, how did everything I have today come about? Isn't it achieved through buying and selling arbitrage? If I were like a rich man guarding silver winter melons, I would be reluctant to buy or sell. Can you have such a net worth today? "
"Of course, good stamps are not afraid of being squeezed, and the more they are squeezed, the higher they will go. But after all, it is better to wait passively than to take the initiative to make profits. Hurry."
"Think about it again, when I first decided to become a dealer and speculate in Year of the Rat stamps, who would have thought that I could reach today's high prices? But what happened? It has increased twenty-five times. This is the power of human intervention.”
“Look at the stamps that I just bought to cover my position. They have increased by two or three times in the past two years. In the end, even the Monkey Ticket, the best variety recognized by the market, is only five or six times the price.”
“Don’t worry, wait until we push the price of the Year of the Rat zodiac ticket. , if we finish this job well, we will have millions of funds in our hands. As long as we have money and are willing to pay high prices, how many people are afraid of not being able to buy good stamps now? Are you really a stamp collector? ”
"What's more, our He family's way of running the village is three words - trap, raise and kill. We are sure that stamps will fall when they rise. Especially when the price reaches a certain level, if the funds cannot keep up, there will be a big drop. .”
“You might as well imagine what it would be like if we had a lot of money and slaughtered those who only lost their pants. A few months later, a set of Dalong, now worth 2,500 yuan, could be purchased for 1,500 yuan. I sold the Mei Lanfang souvenir sheet for 300 yuan, and maybe bought it back for 100 yuan. Five. What can I be reluctant to give up?"
He Jun impressed Xie Ling with his impassioned speech.
Not only did she think He Jun was extraordinary, she even applauded him for it.
“Boss, what you said is great. I understand, except for us, few people in the stamp market can smell the bitter cold. And if people are in a hurry, they won’t care too much. Price. As long as we sell goods before others and wait for the market to drop sharply before buying, this is the real benefit of being a marketer."
It's just that after admiring it, I don't have any worries.
Xie Ling thought about it again, but still did not forget to remind He Jun kindly.
"However, I still feel that these people in the capital are not ordinary people. Since they are thinking of ways to sell goods, are they also bookmakers in the capital? Just like us, they specialize in rat speculation. In that case, are we also the same? Is it time to exit quickly? Are stamp prices in Shanghai often affected by Beijing? Besides, I always feel hard to believe them. I heard my uncle say that on the surface, northerners seem to drink a lot of food and eat meat in large quantities. He entertains guests generously and speaks loudly, making him look bold and generous. He also has a sweet mouth and a warm and affectionate attitude, which often makes us southerners ashamed, especially when people from the capital are happy, they will say, "Your business is my business." When I turn around, or after I wake up, I am like a stranger, and I will tell you, 'Because I never take my own affairs seriously'.
So if we make the Shanghai market go up, What will happen if they come back in a few days if they break their promise?"
However, He Jun didn't have much to worry about.
"Stabilize it, don't worry. Shanghai is Shanghai, and the capital is the capital. Lingling, you may not understand. The capital is a place with many rules, heavy bureaucracy, and things are very rigid. Money is far less useful than human kindness. I I've been to the postal market in Beijing several times, and the people there are sometimes so cute that they'll give you free money just for hearing a few nice words. Many people don’t dare to take it.”
“You won’t believe that when people in Beijing don’t see money, they dare to say anything big, but when they see money, they become timid. He is only willing to eat and drink, and accept some trivial gifts. Do you think it is ridiculous? A place like this is ruined because it only supports lazy people who are clumsy with their mouths. "So the capital city can only serve as a political center and a cultural center, and it has nothing to do with the economy. If it weren't for the fact that it is the capital, or for the convenience of occupying the right to issue stamps, the capital city would be composed of laymen." How can the market affect the prices in the Shanghai and Shanghai postal markets? This time, I will go the other way and let the rats in Shanghai and Hainan cause trouble and affect the Beijing market."
"As for it. You don't have to worry about these people in Beijing. Although they may not be trustworthy, no matter how many big stamp traders there are in the world, there won't be anyone with a greater net worth than me, right? They brought 20,000 stamps, right? , almost catching up with the goods I ate. Look, not only did they sell the thousands of copies they bought in Shanghai, but they also sold more than 10,000 copies this time. Where did these goods come from? You don’t need to think too much to know that it must be the capital. I don’t believe it if they say they still have some goods. And since all their goods have been digested in Shanghai, what kind of trouble can they make?”
Xie Ling was successfully comforted by He Jun and even couldn't help laughing.
"Yes. What's wrong with the people in the capital? How can they compare with us in terms of stamp speculation? They are all 'Xiawu Ning' (country people). Boss, after we speculate on rat stamps again, do you want to also put some Sell the stamps back to the capital and make those people in the capital angry."
He Junze continued.
"What you said is really childish, and you want to sell it back to the capital? Didn't I just say that the capital is not a place to do business. Let me analyze it, I'm afraid those people in the capital are also poor people. Probably It’s because the administrative orders in the capital are too restrictive. They really can’t sell so much goods in the capital, so they choose to go far away to Shanghai.”
“So I think that people in the capital do business. It also has the characteristics of that city in Beijing. It is large and inappropriate, and everything is boxy, but it can’t turn. You see, I was frightened after a few words, and I didn’t even dare to go to Guangdong. , We have given up so much profit in vain, but for us, if we get these goods, we can turn around immediately. When it comes to doing business, we have to be from the south."
"Hey, I almost forgot about this. Lingling, go find Manager Qiu of Jinjiang Hotel to book a flight. I'll make arrangements and try to get to the Flower City the day after tomorrow. We don't have enough funds, so we have to go to another place first. Collect some and sell a few thousand copies of the mouse so that you can continue to make money. Also, you performed well today, and I will reward you with a new suit of clothes downstairs."
So Xie Ling happily agreed and went out like a butterfly.
What is very interesting is that at almost the same time, Ning Weimin and his group were also thinking about their own business options.
And there are also many complaints about the urban style of Shanghai and Hainan.
"Do you have a ticket back to the capital today? Have you booked the ticket? Once booked, let's leave quickly..."
Ning Weimin packed up in the room and saluted, and asked about calling to book. Luo Guangliang voted for it.
Since one million was too much money, he and Xiao Tao were busy stuffing the banknotes He Jun left them into the two large suitcases they had brought.
As a result, many things could not be taken away. Ning Weimin threw them all on the bed, not intending to take them anymore.
"Brother Ning, why are we leaving in such a hurry? Haven't we sold all the stamps? We don't have to go to Guangdong anymore, why are we in a hurry to return to Beijing? You are really afraid of them. It's not me. Come on, people from Shanghai, you can't do anything with your arms. Even though they are so numerous, the few of them tied together are not enough for me to fight alone. Don't forget, the big guy here can't even eat a whole steamed bun. No, it’s just half a steamed bun, and her appetite is not as good as that of girls in the capital. A girl named Yingzi in our courtyard is only ten years old, and she still eats one and a half steamed buns for one meal. "< br>
While Xiao Tao watched with distress Ning Weimin's "breaking away" at all costs, he expressed contempt for the people in Shanghai.
At this time, Luo Guangliang covered the receiver of the phone and had time to reply to him. "Don't be such a bastard. Why are you talking so much about useless things? Hurry up and help clean up. If the tickets for the flight at 12:30 noon are really booked, we don't have much time."
So Ning Weimin was pleased and praised, and Xiao Tao moved much faster.
It’s just that this kid was despised by He Jun’s secretary today.
I still have a grudge against the girl from Shanghai, so naturally I can't help but vent my anger on the man from Shanghai.
"Brother Ning, I am really not talking nonsense. You should pay attention to the restaurant where we eat and you will know what the men in Shanghai are like. What is the funniest thing, do you know? Hey, just yesterday, when I went down to eat, I met four young men from Shanghai eating in the restaurant. The four of them, you heard me clearly, bought a bottle of rice wine. The key point is that the four of them said in unison, "Come on! You'll have to wait until you get drunk." Okay, if you drink a bottle of wine and then get drunk, why should you just get drunk? I said that the stinky temper of the Shanghai Sea girl is probably used to the men who do not have this. If you don't obey, you'll be beaten. I'm sure you'll be disciplined and docile."
Ning Weimin became more and more stubborn as he talked and couldn't help but stop him.
"Okay, what's the glory of hitting a woman? You're still promising..."
Luo Guangliang had also completely put down the phone at this time, and started scolding him.
"The tickets are all booked. You are still poor! Have you forgotten what you said when you came out? Follow orders and follow instructions. Don't ask questions about what you are asked to do. There must be a reason for Weimin to be anxious."
Xiao Tao was not afraid of anyone but Luo Guangliang. He immediately shut up and did not dare to argue again.
But Ning Weimin did not intend to hide it at this time.
"Guang Liang, Xiao Tao, that's what I think. Although the price given by He Jun is a bit low, it's an unexpected surprise that the goods brought this time are sold out at once. Now we don't have to go to Huacheng anymore. I'm selling rats. But I feel like I'll be at a loss if I don't go there, and I've wasted such a good market. So I thought, let's go back as soon as possible, and let you two make another hard trip, and bring a thousand copies of the pig. Go to Huacheng to sell the tickets as soon as possible, and you can get at least another million. What do you think?"
Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao suddenly realized, but at the same time they were a little confused.
Obviously they still have so many Year of the Rat zodiac tickets, so why don’t they sell them when they should sell Pig tickets?
"Wei Min, bring pig tickets? A thousand copies? You won't go this time?"
"Yes, Brother Ning, don't we still have so many rats in our hands? Why? Did you sell the pig first?”
Ning Weimin nodded and smiled. "It's just a pig ticket, not a mouse. Firstly, because the pig ticket belongs to me personally, it's the most cost-effective to sell it in Huacheng. Secondly, I'm also worried that the guy surnamed He accepted so many rats from me, and maybe he also had the idea of going to Huacheng to cash out. If that's the case, wouldn't we be in conflict with him by selling rats? It's not necessary. Let's just sell pig tickets. As for the rat tickets, the reason why I won't go to Huacheng with you this time. I just stayed in the capital to deal with this matter as soon as possible. I have to prevent the rat that bought us from coming back to the capital to prevent the rat tickets from returning."
Ning Weimin said implicitly. , but Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao have been in the postal market for a long time, and their heads are full of abacus beads.
As soon as they heard this, they both became happy.
Luo Guangliang kept saying, "Yes, it's better to sell pig tickets. Pigs are the home of rats, and the rats will not be affected if the price drops. But if the pigs are gone, the rats will not be able to resist. They want It’s okay not to go to Huacheng, but if they really go, they will definitely suffer a big loss.”
Xiao Tao was even more gloating. "Haha, then we have to hurry up on this matter, fuck, let them take advantage and pretend to be the boss in front of us. This time I go to Huacheng again, I really hope to meet them so that I can avenge this arrow. They But don’t come.”
Ning Weimin looked at his watch, but he had no intention of thinking happily with them. Instead, he began to urge them.
"Okay, there are still one hour and ten minutes left. We are still very pressed for time, so let's go downstairs and take a taxi to the airport."
Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao then came again Not much to say, everyone is doing the finishing work.
However, before leaving the house, Luo Guangliang remembered something important again.
“But, Weimin, what should we do with the more than 400,000 yuan we have in the bank? Shouldn’t we take it with us?”
"I won't take it away."
Ning Weimin said decisively, "Don't say that we can't take it out in a hurry. Even if we want to take it, we don't have that many hands. If the airport finds out, it will be completely damaged. It’s better not to put all the eggs in one basket. I’ll put them in the bank anyway. I’ll have a good foundation when I come to Shanghai in the future.”
Luo Guangliang thinks this is okay. Okay, just nodded with relief, it might as well be that Xiao Tao suddenly became a demon again and actually wanted to relieve the big hand.
"You kid, why are you so lazy? Why did you go earlier? Are you sincere and don't want to leave?"
He was so angry that he scolded Xiao Tao.
Little Tao sneaked into the toilet and responded through the door. "I'm quick, I'm quick, it only takes a few minutes."
Then he begged for mercy, "Third brother, third brother, please wait for me for a while. Whoever doesn't want to leave is a grandson. This is a broken place. Everything I eat is sweet, and even if I look at it for a few days, I’ll be dumbfounded.”
“The people in Shanghai are also so hypocritical that they make you feel abnormal all day long. "Xiaxianuo, Xiaxianuo" (Thank you), my head was spinning. And you have to call a slightly older woman aunt. Why is it so disgusting? If you don't call her, she will do it. I'm rolling my eyes at you. It's better to call me "Fat Aunt, Second Aunt, Seventh Aunt, Eighth Aunt, Fourth Aunt", that's the normal title. "
" What I'm not used to is that you can't find public toilets on the streets in Shanghai. Damn it, there are almost no public toilets in the whole city except for a few in bustling areas. Can I really go there? Who should I look for when I'm anxious on the street? Although there are simple urinals in the alleys of Shanghai, which are convenient for people to stand on, there is no cover for them. Pedestrians behind them, men and women, can walk as usual, and the whole Shanghai is full of people. People in Shanghai are not ashamed of this situation. Anyway, I can’t urinate, so we don’t have any problem with letting people visit Xia San Road..."
Ning Weimin and Luo Guangliang were a little speechless. At the door of the guest room, I heard Xiaotao chattering in the toilet.
Finally, five minutes later, there was a "bang" sound and the toilet flushed.
