Yes, bubble bursting is painful.
Whether it is stamps, Clivia, or cars, the sudden changes in market conditions after May 1985 and the sharp market decline 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, I still have lingering fears even when I think about it in the future.
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.
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.
Not for anything else, just because there are so many people who want to buy stamps from them!
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. 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 it is one thing whether people believe it or not, and another matter whether they are willing to believe it or not.
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 staff of the postal system and philatelic companies suffered a serious blow to their family harmony.
Family conflicts have increased, and so have the quarrels between husband and wife.
If you are a person with 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.
So the rise in stamps is by no means a blessing to them, but means there will never be peace.
On the other hand, only a sharp decline in the market 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 The 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.
In the end, when the market turned into a dead place where no one cared, 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.
So 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 low when others are crazy. Then they raise prices again and race against time, quietly exiting the market by giving wholesale profits. It’s a lot of money to make!
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 one hundred versions of pig tickets in their hands were sold for 290,000.
As for their main investment product, the Year of the Rat zodiac ticket, more than 49,000 editions were sold, and the revenue was as high as 5.28 million.
In addition to the original working capital of more than 90,000 yuan, after throwing away the initial cost of 300,000 yuan, in the end, the net profit 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.
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 two thousand editions he sold for the investment group, and the precious stamps he exchanged for three thousand editions of rat stamps from He Jun.
In Huacheng, he used a thousand copies 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 vote is more than three hundred, the chicken vote is more than one hundred, the dog vote is more than sixty, the pig vote will be full page For more than 1,000 yuan, you can follow the market and spare no effort to take out food for me."
So even if the postal market plummeted, the two groups of people who shipped the goods for him continued to sell stamps until Children's Day.
Under the "low sale" that others mistakenly thought 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.
Similarly up to five million.
However, on the other hand, what is the cost to him personally?
It was nothing more than the private purchase of 18,000 rat tickets last year with a capital of 120,000 yuan, and the 1,000 pig tickets collected at a cost of 10,000 yuan 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 Ning Weimin has always insisted on taking at least 2,500 full-page tickets as a bottom position for each zodiac ticket before Zhu Piao, insisting on locking in the number of 200,000 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 additional 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.
So, after Ning Weimin finished this job, he gained more than just a net profit of five million.
He also has the power to firmly control the market of zodiac tickets in the future, turning the postal market into his own money 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 lets the zodiac ticket go to heaven or go 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.
It doesn’t matter even if he gets into trouble from now on. No matter how he loses money, the rest will be pure profit.
This means that when he is really speculating on stamps, he can be as wild as he likes, even if he is not smart, 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 use zodiac tickets to challenge him will be sent to the guillotine at his command.
Even facing such a rich harvest, even Ning Weimin himself couldn't help but feel emotional.
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 included, 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, he has made his original investment appreciate by more than 2,000 times, with an average appreciation of almost 400 times a year.
This is a return on investment that even Wall Street cannot 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.
I can only say that the postal market of the Republic is so great!
Ning Weimin is not a stingy person, nor is he a fool.
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.
And 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.
They said they were speculating on stamps to make Yin Yue famous, so they 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 paid by you. 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 You just gave me more than 20,000 yuan."
Ning Weimin had already expected that she would refuse, so he 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 one hundred thousand. Isn’t that too little for you?”
But Yin Yue didn’t 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 for plugging holes, paying off debts, and redeeming stamps for me. No. Let me tell you, I was trying to send you money these past two days, 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 can keep the money. If for no other reason, your living conditions are too bad. No matter what Buy a house or a house, it's up to you. In short, use this money to improve things. If I want my right-hand man to live in the sewer, then I am too incompetent as a boss, although I don't have the power to allocate houses to you. , but you can still do it if you are asked to buy the house that was given to someone else. Besides, your grandma is getting older, so she should live more comfortably..."
These words hit home. Yin Yue's vital point, she was stunned for a moment, and then showed unbelievable excitement.
"Buy a house? Can you buy a house? Mr. Ning? Is...is this allowed in this country? Can you even buy a building?"
Ning Weimin scratched his head, not expecting Yin Yue to I don’t know anything about the policies related to buying a house.
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, how can they know the relevant information?
Even I didn’t know that I could buy a house until several months later. It’s really not surprising that Yin Yue’s reaction was that she didn’t know anything about it.
“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 there are 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 do disguised transactions by exchanging houses. Well, don't frown. I have an acquaintance named Meng Yi in the housing management bureau. He knows the ropes here. I'll say hello to him later. I'll give him his phone number. Here you go, just ask him to do it. If you have any requests, just ask him. Once 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. So I It's enough just to give you the money. Just..."
"Just what? With this money, can you buy a few more houses? Where are the two younger brothers? They are not allowed to have wives in the future? You need to buy at least three sets..."
"That's enough, not to mention that I will make money in the future. Stop talking, you saved me. , you gave me such a good job, I don’t know how to repay you. If you really want to reward me, just don’t forget to take me with you when you buy stamps in the future..."
"Hey, I've never seen you like this. I don't 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 in one stroke..."
Yin Yue He 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 may not 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.
Don’t say 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 this happens every year, which is equivalent to Ning Weimin giving her an imported Crown car for free every year.
There is no doubt that this is a shocking reward.
Even the top leaders of Shougang and the First 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! How about my assistant without such courage?"
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!"< br>
"But...but, Ganlu is also working very hard. She also manages three stores. Why didn't you give her such a reward..."
Yin Yue is probably really clueless. In desperation, even the sisters were sacrificed 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 negotiate?”
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? Force me to find someone else to replace you. Do you want this?"
Of course Yin Yue didn't want it, so he had no choice but to give in.
Look what's going on.
Actually, 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...
