Chapter 1349: A smile decides the world
Laughter is a laugh, trouble is a trouble, and after the joke is over, we have to get back to the topic.
If you just rely on the laughter coming from the private room of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, many people who don’t know the real situation may think that there are a few carefree young people from well-off families in this private room. I have a good father who eats and drinks all he wants.
But in fact, this meal will actually determine the trend of the postal market in Beijing and even the national postal market in the next one or two years.
After all, in this era, when most of the domestic postal market speculators still don’t know what it means to be a banker, Ning Weimin and others have become a powerful small gang of "strong bankers".
In particular, the postal market in Beijing affects the whole country. They have a special geographical advantage. Isn't it easy to make arbitrage from it?
Even the working meeting of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications is probably not as accurate and powerful as the grasp of the stamp market as a few of them said in their gossip.
"Thank you for your hard work. Since I went to Japan, whether it is my family's affairs or our joint venture, I have always relied on your care to be able to maintain it. I am really grateful to all of you. It's just that I'm afraid this situation will continue for some time. In the next two to three years, I'm afraid my focus will still be on the Japanese side, so I have to continue to rely on everyone's help to maintain it. Of course, there is good news. One thing is that I think the postage market is starting to recover. What are you most afraid of when speculating on stamps? The market collapsed like this last time. However, the authorities are beginning to notice this and are actively reducing the issuance. Measured, this is a great thing. In addition, the prices of everything are rising now, and the money in everyone's hands is becoming less and less valuable. I am definitely eager to have some speculative opportunities to make some extra money. I am pretty sure that the postal market will be hot again within a year or two. Are you interested in working harder to earn his vote?"
Ning Weimin put down his glass of wine and was polite. After a few words, he brought up the topic straight to the point.
He knew these people well and knew that they were all his loyal followers and would not have any objections at all.
Therefore, the function of these previous words is purely to introduce ideas and clarify the logical relationship of your own judgment. The focus lies on the following.
As expected, Xiao Tao was the first to say, "Brother Ning, you are out of touch when you say that. I am embarrassed to say that I am sorry. You always take care of us like this. Without you, I, Xiao Tao, would not be where I am today." Ah. You, like Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms, are the ones who make big decisions. As for what to do, you can tell me where to go. No problem.”
Luo Guangliang’s reaction was more realistic.
"Wei Min, Xiao Tao is right, you must not say that. Your affairs in Japan are important, and each of us knows it in our hearts. Our capital is a small pond compared to Tokyo. At present, you are also Only in Japan can you do great things and make better use of your abilities. Anyway, you can leave it to us in the capital. I can't say that I will definitely do the things you asked me to do, but I will try my best to do it. It's not hard work, it's not about money, let's not talk about it, we are just doing some things for you, why do we care about so much? Then who are we? What's the use of having so much money? Thanks to you, Xiaotao and I can't spend all our income from this tricycle business."
Ning Weimin was naturally moved by the love of these two people. It's like a warm current pouring into it.
He completely believed in their sincerity, but he couldn't really agree to it.
Don't be too independent in anything. It will not only disgrace your friends, but also destroy your character, and it will be damaging to your long-term interests.
After all, "soft, hard and thick" is the way to control people, and sharing the benefits is the basis for long-term cooperation.
So he said, "Okay, then let's talk about whatever we have, and no one will talk to anyone else. I won't be polite to you. I will make the decision on this matter and you will contribute. As for you, you should get what you deserve." I have to take the benefits. If everyone does the work and the benefits go to me, it won’t be interesting. I reiterate that this time, we all work together to make a fortune. To do bigger things.”
As for Yin Yue, he has a better understanding of Ning Weimin and knows how to have fun.
Seeing that Luo Guangliang was about to say something else, she stopped him on behalf of Ning Weimin and made a more pertinent suggestion.
"Ouch, don't be polite. Third brother is kind and brother Ning is angry. No one is wrong. But let me tell you, just because we are our own people, there is no need to have to worry about this issue. It’s a waste of time. Let’s decide who gets more and who gets less. Let’s discuss how to get things done first. It’s not too late to divide things up after we have the benefits.”
In one sentence, she showed her grandeur, and now all three men cheered for her.
Next, Yin Yue, who was praised for having a smile on her face, became more and more bright-eyed, white-toothed, and well-behaved.
She simply went straight to the point and started asking Ning Weimin about practical issues.
"Brother Ning, I agree with you. After hearing what you said, I also think it is possible. So this time, shall we still speculate on the zodiac signs? I will choose the tiger in 1986 and the rabbit this year. I asked for it and bought four thousand copies. But the price has gone down. This year’s Rabbit is issued 150 million pieces. Although it is less than last year’s Tiger, the number is still huge. Why do I feel that it is not easy to speculate? Besides, the number of rats and cows I have is still far from the amount you requested. If we really want to speculate, which zodiac signs should we speculate on? And what should we do with the pandas I collected?" br>
What she asked was indeed necessary.
You know, because of the market situation in 1985, Ning Weimin had a hand in it, which resulted in the zodiac ticket speculation being too fierce.
Although he made a lot of money and provided financial support for him to go to Japan to make money, there were also many sequelae.
First of all, the circulation of mice and cows is much higher than the original history.
As a result, after the market collapsed, the prices of these two zodiac tickets continued to decline, and now they have already fallen below the face value. This is also a situation that has never happened before.
So even if Yin Yue and the others see monkey tickets, dog tickets, chicken tickets, and pig tickets, they will eat them according to Ning Weimin's request. It is said that it should have a stabilizing effect on the rats and cows that have been declining. , but such a big plate cannot be lifted at all.
Should I go out or take care of myself?
Secondly, it was also because the zodiac tickets were so popular in 1985 that the authorities also expanded the circulation of tiger and rabbit.
This further drags down the sales of new zodiac tickets and intensifies the current polarization of the zodiac ticket market.
In the current market, a single golden monkey costs 200 yuan, a chicken costs 90 yuan, a dog costs 55, and a pig costs 20.
Then the Rat and Ox were immediately discontinued, all at around the face price.
Tiger and Rabbit are even worse. You can buy an entire edition from a private owner for five yuan.
There are too many stamp stores to sell stamps.
To put it bluntly, starting from the rat, the zodiac tickets that have been issued in large quantities are a bit spoiled.
Finally, according to Ning Weimin's request, Yin Yue also ate a lot of pandas in his hands. These souvenir sheets and stamps were the "culprits" of the last market crash, so they were extremely unpopular. When Yin Yue paid 20,000 to 50,000 yuan for the goods from Hardman, she thought it would not fall again. Unexpectedly, the current market prices are generally discounted by 20 to 30%, and people are already spending money to sell them.
She felt that she had made a bad move and failed to get a better price for Ning Weimin, and she really had no confidence in the "Panda".
Faced with such a complicated situation, she naturally couldn't understand it clearly and felt like she had no way of starting.
But Ning Weimin didn't see it that way. He was aware of these situations and never felt that he was out of control.
So I was very happy to help her clear up her doubts. "Of course zodiac tickets can still be speculated, but the method is different from the past. We only deal with monkeys, chickens, dogs, and pigs. It is much easier to increase the prices of these high-end tickets. At the same time, I will tell Pierre Cardin Colleagues in the company, let them help us sing and carry the sedan chair. As for us, we don’t have to worry about the rat’s future zodiac tickets. In addition, I plan to keep enough. Get some zodiac tickets issued in Japan and see if you can get a share of the domestic market."
At this time, everyone was surprised and asked the same question, "What? Japan also has zodiac signs." Tickets?”
“Of course, the Japanese are our grandchildren in culture. Not only do they exist, but they have been issued since the 1950s and 1960s. After all, Japan can invest in large quantities. There are so many varieties that no one pays attention to them at all. There are hundreds of millions of stamps issued a few years ago. You can still buy them at the post office, and no one has ever increased the price of a single Japanese zodiac stamp. It's only a few tens of yen, which is equivalent to the price of our mini-sheets based on the exchange rate. I plan to get a few hundred versions of monkeys, dogs, chickens, and pigs, and mail them back to my country without having to pay taxes, and it's easy to go through the postal service. You can sell it later and try it out. If someone recognizes it, we will purchase it in large quantities.”
(Japan’s Monkey Ticket)
Ning Weimin’s answer suddenly made everyone excited.
They are no longer strangers to stamp speculation, and now they all understand a basic truth: the rarer the stamps, the more money they can make.
These Japanese stamps are in large quantities and cannot be obtained by others. This is such a good source of supply. This does not mean that they have controlled a category of stamps without spending a few dollars.
Especially if the Japanese zodiac ticket overlaps with the popular categories of domestic zodiac tickets, this thing is naturally attractive to people.
By doing this, Ning Weimin has opened up a new path in the country. If it really succeeds, the "money scene" will be unlimited.
So they couldn't help but whisper, and they immediately started communicating.
However, this is not Ning Weimin's main goal.
Just listen to him say again, "Don't worry. Although stamps are good, they are not as good as souvenir sheets. Why? Because the unit price of souvenir sheets is usually high, and one can be worth a set of stamps. The higher the unit price, the greater the increase. , and the mini sheets come in boxes, usually a box of one hundred pieces, or a bundle of one hundred sheets, which are sealed in a small plastic bag. It is small and has high value, so it is very convenient for delivery. It can be carried in a larger bag. This kind of variety is the most suitable for speculation for those of us who want to make money from the postal market. So, I We have decided that in addition to the four types of stamps in the zodiac stamps: monkey, dog, chicken, and pig, from now on the other types of stamps we will focus on will be transferred to souvenir sheets. We don’t have to focus on just one or two specific categories. We won’t do it this time. We can buy the low-end small paper that has been published since 1985 and has been unsold for a long time. Who is in favor of it? Who is against it? >
At the end of the day, Ning Weimin became more and more excited as he talked, and he was already a bit of a drama queen.
Even the famous line from his favorite Tony Leung Ka-fai movie - "Black Gold" came up.
And his words are indeed true. Ideas determine the way out, and ideas are often developed through chatting and learning from each other. Several people were deeply inspired by his words and re-understood the actual meaning of "miniature sheets" and the economic potential behind this kind of thing.
Although Yin Yue, Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao have never thought about it from this perspective, they are all people with rich trading experience.
As long as you put yourself in his shoes, you can intuitively judge that Ning Weimin is right.
When the postal market was at its peak, no one wanted to compete with small-denomination stamps. The easy-to-calculate souvenir sheets were the most popular among speculators, and they were naturally convinced.
For example, Xiao Tao was the first to raise his arms and shout, "I agree, I agree! Brother Ning is my idol. He has studied stamp speculation too deeply. Nothing can escape your eyes. I am now I really found that those retail investors who were looking at buying stamps turned out to be idiots.
Luo Guangliang also agreed, "Isn't that right? Stamp transactions are inconvenient and the amounts are small, like in the past. There are also people who buy and sell eight or ten editions for only a hundred and eighty yuan. Where can I buy boxes of souvenirs so happily? A box costs 1,800 yuan, so you can earn more. Wei Min really hit the nail on the head, directly hitting the actual demand for stamp speculation. I think, just because of this, those who are still worried about stamps will start speculating on souvenir sheets sooner or later. And if there are no big investors speculating on stamps, how can it be possible to make money? I also agree, Wei Min’s vision is absolutely accurate, and Xiao Zhang’s world will really be in the future. ”
As for Yin Yue, she not only agreed but also knew how to draw inferences. She smiled and said, "Brother Ning, I understand. If you look at it this way, we can continue to eat panda souvenirs, and we should eat them in large quantities. Just like you said Yes, after all, this thing is easy to speculate on. As long as it has a market value as you said, it doesn't matter. As long as it rises back to its face value, we can make multiple times. I have to say, you are really good. "A discerning eye recognizes gold."
(Panda sheetlet and stamps issued in 1985)
Yes, today's meal was not in vain, today's wine was not in vain, and today's harvest was great. It has exceeded Yin Yue's imagination.
If the expectation was one foot, then the harvest was one foot. This made her so happy that she picked up the wine glass again.
"With your words, I feel at ease. Come on, Brother Ning, I have to toast you. Thank you for teaching me to be good and teaching me another lesson. Let me learn to learn from others. How to look at the market from a different perspective.”
Ning Weimin was also very happy because of Yin Yue's understanding. This girl is really a smart person. She can understand everything through her head.
So he also picked up the wine glass and simply entrusted Yin Yue with important tasks in public.
"Since you are so excited, you should be responsible for this matter. Third brother and Xiao Tao are responsible for assisting you. When I am not around, it is up to you to decide how to collect funds. ”
Yin Yue was a little surprised and wanted to refuse, but she didn’t expect that Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao had already happily expressed their support.
Ning Weimin did not allow Yin Yue to push back at this time and finalized the matter.
"Look, everyone trusts you so much, why are you pushing? It's settled."
He then said with great enthusiasm, "Tomorrow, the three of you will go to my place to get the money. I have already prepared 1.5 million in cash. As for the spare money in your account, we will also invest it. I will give you the next batch of funds when I come back during the Spring Festival. If this is done, we can really do it. We have the capital’s postal market in our own hands. Come on, let’s drink and wish us success!” I'm afraid no one would have thought that the small market that broke out a year later, and almost all the main products, were decided so casually and easily by a few people in this private room while chatting.
Each of us knows it in our hearts. Our capital city is a small pond compared to Tokyo. At present, you can only do big things in Japan and make better use of your abilities. ——The preceding is a paragraph from the original text.
