Chapter 826: Shanghai Rat King(1/2)
Zodiac stamps are indeed a scarce resource.
Although it is also printed by machine, no matter how high the circulation quantity is, there is a limit after all.
Stamps are not like letter paper and envelopes. You can get as many as you want, and you can place an order for the factory to increase production at any time.
Therefore, if the market has enough capacity to undertake it, the better the variety and the better the price, the more popular the stamps will be.
Not only can they be sold as much as they come out, but they can even become more and more popular, causing market prices to continue to rise.
For example, during the two days that Ning Weimin stayed in Shanghai, he went to the street mail market in Shanghai and sold more than a hundred stamps of monkeys, chickens, and dogs that were rarely seen in the local area.
Just because the "piling models" couldn't wait to turn around and earn the difference, there was a small climax, and then it jumped up a lot.
The monkey's ticket is actually as high as 600 yuan, the chicken's ticket is 200 yuan, and the dog's ticket is 110 yuan.
Even the pig tickets and rat tickets moved slightly.
The day after I paid "Zhu Sanwan".
The price of a full-page pig ticket on Taiyuan Road is only 2,400, and the price of a full-page rat ticket can be more than 145.
Now he gave "Zhu Sanwan" to Lede and took the initiative to call the hotel to thank Ning Weimin for the opportunity to make a fortune.
I also want to find a good place to entertain them again.
But for Ning Weimin, who is racing against time, he finds a very difficult problem - he will not be able to find more recipients in the short term.
I bet "Zhu Sanwan" is Ning Weimin's best setter in the current relationship between Shanghai and Hainan.
Ning Weimin later invited two or three people to the banquet, but none of them could compare with him, which was quite disappointing.
Because no one can swallow these goods intact according to their original shipment figures.
This is not surprising.
After all, the domestic postal market is only in its infancy, and this is the first bull market for all stamp varieties after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Nowadays, people who are splashing around in the market are basically trying to get the first pot of gold for themselves, and there are only a few large players with considerable strength and capital.
Therefore, it is easy to make the market but difficult to ship.
What's more, even among the big households in the postal market, few can keep up with the growth rate of the market price of zodiac tickets.
A master who can really come up with hundreds of thousands in cash would be considered a good person.
No matter how good the price offered by Ning Weimin is, no matter how much profit he makes, it will be in vain if these people don't have that much money.
It can be seen from this that "Zhu Sanwan" is really capable if he can eat back the three thousand version intact.
He can be called an outstanding person in the Shanghai-Haihai Postal Market.
Of course, these people who are not strong enough to eat stamps are not stupid. If they are stupid, they will not do this.
Everyone knows that when you have a sweet deal, it is better to join forces with others than to let it go in vain.
But even so, it takes time to find a partner, and it also takes time to raise money.
However, what Ning Weimin needs most right now is time. He will have to leave in Shanghai after staying in Shanghai for five or six days at most.
So in addition to having a master who can successfully find the allies and eat 1,500 copies in one bite.
Others can still only buy piecemeal with existing funds.
As a result, Ning Weimin was troubled.
The rest of the goods in his hand were like rabbits pooping or children peeing, which made him miserable.
One meal will produce hundreds of copies, and the next meal will produce hundreds of copies.
For these people with limited financial resources, they still have to smoke, drink and serve like the God of Wealth, which makes them a nuisance.
So seeing that his wish to sell eight thousand copies of mice in the Shanghai and Shanghai markets might not be realized, Ning Weimin did not dare to fight anymore and planned to change the battlefield.
He felt that he should leave a day early and go to Huacheng to try his luck.
The reason is very simple. Even among the economically developed first-tier cities across the country, the world is in chaos and there are many bad guys doing evil.
If you carry too much belongings there, you will most likely be targeted, and you will definitely risk your personal safety.
But conversely, it is also because it opened early, there are more wealthy people, and there are also many big businesses in the postal market.
This is what happens when you are a foodie. They arrived in Shanghai first and met a lot of people before they bought the 8,000 edition.
Later, when I went to Huacheng, I easily bought 10,000 copies.
This is enough to explain the problem.
In short, don't worry about where the Cantonese money came from, whether it was smuggling or taking advantage of Hong Kong cowards.
Anyway, if you want to do bulk wholesale, Huacheng is definitely easier than Shanghai.
As a result, he never expected that just after Ning Weimin had bought his ticket to Feihua City, an unexpected big buyer came to the door.
This big buyer is named He Jun. He is really big. Not only is he powerful, he is also generous.
If "Zhu Sanwan" were compared with him, he wouldn't be the best.
Because He Jun, like "Zhu Sanwan", is not only one of the first players in Shanghai after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but also has inheritance and heritage from the previous generation, and is a family that plays stamps.
I love He Jun’s grandfather. I think he was a famous postal dealer on Shanghai Beach before liberation.
Mr. He has countless precious stamps in his hands, including "Gongmen Pour", "Zhongshan Pour", and "Small Prints for One Yuan".
I am usually close friends with other big stamp dealers and philatelists in Shanghai, such as Zhou Jinjue, Chen Zhichuan and Zhong Xiaolu.
We often eat together, drink tea, and compare stamps.
Unfortunately, after liberation, this business gradually ceased to exist, and stamps gradually became irrelevant for resale and speculation.
The He family, which was originally extremely wealthy, lost its main source of income and gradually declined.
Mr. He gradually became a useless person who could only look after his children and buy groceries at home.
My sons and daughters basically became workers and salespersons.
No one in the next generation of the He family is interested in stamps anymore.
During the special period, the He family was most difficult, as shown in the movie "The Young Wife of the Zhang Family" that was just released this year. They had to make a living by selling old things.
Despite living in a small two-story western-style building, the east wall was demolished to repair the west wall. Everyone in the family had their clothes patched, and they were reluctant to even buy a bowl of beef soup for their children.
That’s true—the landlord’s family has no food left.
But even so, Mr. He was not willing to give up his precious mail and kept it hidden under his bed.
As a result, a successor was found among the third generation of the family, his youngest grandson He Jun.
Speaking of which, this fate is forced by poverty.
The He family needs to supplement their household income, and their children have to pick up waste paper and broken glass after school every day.
He Jun is different from his brothers and sisters. In the colorful world of trash cans, he doesn't pay much attention to material treasures such as copper wires and iron sheets.
But he was very interested in the stamps on the envelope,
Every time I see a good-looking stamp, I always cut it out and keep it as a little book.
The children of the He family could not afford to buy little books, and they were reluctant to spend money to read them at bookstalls. Reading these letters became a unique hobby that He Jun cherished very much.
His spiritual world was profoundly affected by this, and he began to understand the world beyond textbooks through stamps.
One time, the three siblings got lucky and picked up a broken pillow together.
Later, they discovered that there were more than ten dollars hidden inside, which undoubtedly made them a fortune.
After He Jun's sister and brother added up, they thought they could hand over the big ticket and keep the change so that the three siblings could have a good time.
Unexpectedly, He Jun strongly opposed this.
He values spirituality more than material things. He said that he would rather drool watching his brothers and sisters eat than use his share of money to buy stamps.
Finally, he begged 80 cents from his brother and sister and bought a whole set of "Goldfish" that he had been coveting for a long time at the post office.
That day, the three siblings felt completely different joys.
While his sister and brother were feasting and satisfied, He Jun endured the protests from his stomach and was overjoyed that he finally had a brand new set of stamps.
Especially when they don't know yet, their respective life directions and life situations are destined to undergo major changes because of this set of stamps.
A year later, the price of this "Goldfish" stamp set tripled.
So another inevitable thing happened.
Because He Jun's elder sister and brother couldn't help but be greedy, they secretly took this set of stamps to the road market and sold them.
After losing the most precious thing, He Jun was naturally very sad and inevitably cried a lot.
Needless to say, the fussing didn't help, and He Jun was scolded and scolded by his parents for exposing the secret of keeping money privately.
But despite this, the good thing is that because of this incident, Mr. He discovered that his youngest grandson is actually the same person as him.
And I also learned that stamps can be traded for money on the streets in Shanghai.
So after seeing He Jun's private collection of stamps in iron boxes, Mr. He happily stroked He Jun's head and began to teach him the correct way to preserve stamps, as well as relevant knowledge about stamps.
