National Tide 1980.

Ning Weimin, who was far away in Japan, did not catch up with the feast of treasury bond exchange in mainland China, nor did he make any relevant arrangements for this matter.

It wasn't that he was careless or lacked experience, but that he simply didn't want to participate and completely ignored this benefit of time and space.

In his eyes, this profit was insignificant, just like the ten yuan prize from buying a welfare lottery ticket.

He can't afford to make such a fuss, so why bother?

For him, what was more important than the opportunities in the capital was that Huo Yanping fulfilled his promise and successfully helped him to enclose three acres and four mu of land at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, which could be used to plant "Purple Gold Hoop" this year and further expand the production of Yutian Rouge Rice.

Once this matter is accomplished, it means that the supply of Yutian Rouge Rice will be stably guaranteed from then on.

This harvest is a great opportunity that can be passed down from generation to generation and contains countless possibilities and profits.

Of course, this does not mean that Ning Weimin completely ignored the dividends of the domestic capital market and completely gave up the speculative opportunities given to him by the times in the country.

On the contrary, he simply did not choose treasury bonds, which had a lower threshold and lower profit for him.

He certainly has other better options.

Moreover, when he left the capital this time, he already had a large and sufficient number of people and registered quite a few companies.

Instead, he had more sufficient conditions to accept Potian's wealth.

In other words, under his remote control from across the sea, a number of companies centered around him and with ties to him have already begun to emerge in the capital and have started to develop openly and in a shameless manner.

It has also set its sights on a number of high-quality resources that are neglected by today's society, and its future goal is to target large groups of conglomerate nature.

…………

1988 3 Month 20 Day.

Another "iron triangle" from Beijing - Yin Yue, Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao - drove to Hepingmen Middle School at ten o'clock in the morning.

Although it was a weekend, Sunday, and students didn't have classes, it was still very lively here.

The school gate was wide open, and people came in and out from time to time, either on bicycles or on foot.

When Luo Guangliang drove the car into the campus, he could see that there were at least several hundred bicycles parked in the parking shed.

In addition to their car, there were five or six other cars parked in the open space in front of the teaching building.

The reason for this is nothing else but that in order to generate income, the school rents out the entire third floor every Sunday and turns it into a "stamp market" that is open one day a week.

In fact, this is indeed a market demand.

As the market has started to pick up recently, the management of stamp market has become stricter.

The city's law enforcement departments such as industry and commerce, urban management, public security, culture, and urban appearance would occasionally clear out the chaotic street market in front of the Hepingmen Post Office, making those who wished they could spend every day in the stamp market buying low and selling high extremely anxious.

They must have a place to do business, so some smart people took a fancy to this place and set up this semi-underground stamp market.

You know what, these people are a little smart. They don’t dig for gold but sell shovels.

Because it is quite close to Hepingmen Post Market.

Moreover, the government's attitude towards the stamp market is rather ambiguous, basically turning a blind eye.

There is even news that the Xicheng District Government has taken the lead in finding a suitable location to organize a formal stamp trading market.

In other words, as long as people who buy and sell stamps do not trade openly on the street, the relevant departments are too lazy to intervene.

Therefore, this weekly "black market" became very popular as soon as it opened. Even though an entrance fee was charged, people came in an endless stream, and the people who ran the stamp market quickly made money.

Now almost all the big and medium-sized stamp collectors in the city know about this place.

Every Sunday, at least several thousand people from all over the city come here to trade. It can be said to be quite famous.

People like Luo Guangliang had to pay 30 cents per person for a ticket at the entrance of the building after getting off the bus before they could actually enter the place where they could do business.

And I have to say that the school classrooms are really suitable for this purpose.

When Luo Guangliang and his friends arrived at the third floor, they found that all the classrooms on the entire floor were packed with people.

In every classroom, there are desks and chairs that can be put together and used as containers, filled with all kinds of stamps and sold on the spot.

The blackboard in each classroom can be used to publicly post purchasing information. The information can be written on the blackboard with chalk, and then wait next to the podium for someone to ask.

If Ning Weimin came here and saw the scene, he would be surprised and applaud.

Because this small black market for stamps has begun to take on a formal appearance, and it is a bit like the stock market!

As for Luo Guangliang and his friends, they became the focus of the whole audience as soon as they came in.

Countless people flock around them and follow them, and they are as popular as celebrities.

When the stall owners saw them, they all greeted them warmly.

This is not only because they have become the most famous and experienced big players in the Hepingmen stamp market.

The more important reason is that Luo Guangliang and Yin Yue each have a "mobile phone" in their hands.

This thing is synonymous with "big money" and is even higher level than a pager.

So even if people who don’t know them see them holding these heavy things in their hands, they will know that they are not ordinary people.

If you flirt with them and maybe make a big deal, they will follow you like flies to meat and you can't drive them away.

But of course Luo Guangliang and the others couldn't be so impatient.

If they want to know market information, they can just ask their own people first.

Look, Yin Yue’s long-term subordinates, Old Feng and his son, who have been doing business for her, are also setting up a stall here.

So no matter what happens in the market, the "Iron Triangle" can easily grasp it clearly.

"Uncle Feng, how is business today?" Yin Yue came over and asked with a smile.

"Hey, today is different. Business is good. It's so good. In just two hours, all the miniature sheets I brought have been sold out. Even this year's new zodiac tickets are almost sold out. Oh, I just regret that I sold it a little too early..."

Old Feng complained, "Whatever I sell goes up in price immediately. Isn't that infuriating?"

And from these words, the "Iron Triangle" immediately heard a different tone.

Sure enough, after further questioning, the information provided by Old Feng surprised them even more.

"There is indeed something wrong with the market today. Many unfamiliar faces come here to do business. Each of these people looks like a tycoon. They buy whatever they see. All the varieties in large quantities and with good points have become hot commodities. Among them, the most popular variety is the miniature stamp. I can't understand the stamp market at all." Miniature stamps are the absolute protagonists in the stamp market. In the last bull market, besides the zodiac stamps, the ones that rose the most were the miniature stamps.

Moreover, the unfamiliar faces brought a large amount of incremental funds, which further confirmed what they thought.

"Uncle Feng, have we sold all those Japanese zodiac tickets we gave you?" Yin Yue asked another question.

"It's sold. It's sold. I had more than a hundred copies of the three hundred copies you gave me last month, but they were all sold out today. I was just about to ask my son to call you and tell you the good news..."

"That's perfect, Uncle Feng. I brought a few hundred copies. Please help me sell them..."

Unexpectedly, before they had even finished touring the entire stamp market and bought a few rare stamps for Ning Weimin, the Japanese zodiac stamps that Yin Yue had just handed over to Old Feng were sold out again, and at a higher price.

what's up?

It turns out that at this time, two pieces of news have begun to circulate in the market.

One was that there was a mechanical failure at the stamp factory, and many stamps that were about to be issued could not be printed at all.

The second is that there is a tycoon in Hong Kong who wants to collect this year's zodiac dragon tickets, and he will take as many as he can.

As this news spread, the price of stamps on that day rose further. Not only did many people start to buy them at high prices, even those who were setting up stalls with stamps in their hands began to be reluctant to sell them.

As the saying goes, "The wind is born from the earth and rises from the tip of the green duckweed." They had been reminded by Ning Weimin long ago that the start of a bull market is often such a sudden thing.

Based on their experience, they do not believe the news that is being spread in the stamp market, but they can definitely smell the scent of a bull market in stamps.

The three of them all had a premonition that they might soon usher in a carnival in the stamp market, and Ning Weimin would make a lot of money in the stamp market...

…………

Yes, all economic operating laws can be likened to an ocean in a storm.

There are peaks and there are troughs.

The crest is the power of expansion, the tremendous enthusiasm, and the feat of trying to transcend time and space displayed during rapid growth.

High accumulation, high deficit, high money issuance, mobilizing all resources, investing unscrupulously without worrying about output or how to be responsible for the future.

However, after the peak, there will inevitably be a trough.

When all the energy is exhausted, austerity replaces expansion, cooling replaces enthusiasm, and stagnation replaces galloping.

The market is weak, products are in backlog, and funds are scarce, making it a buyer's market.

Therefore, the peak of the wave is an opportunity to make money, while the trough of the wave is a good opportunity to earn goods.

In fact, just as Ning Weimin's "Iron Triangle" bent its waist in the stamp market, tightened its muscles, and was ready to leap up at any time to usher in a new round of stamp market peaks.

Another of his close confidants, Zhang Shihui, was also following his instructions and stockpiling goods of low value for him.

On March 1988, 3, Zhang Shihui came to the Xuanwu District Branch of the Sugar, Tobacco and Wine Company with cash to purchase goods for the next month.

However, this time he did not go directly to the person in charge of allocating the goods. Instead, he took the briefcase and went to find the person in charge here, Manager Huang.

He did not show any sign of weakness in front of him and directly opened the suitcase and piled 500,000 yuan in cash in front of Manager Huang.

This is indeed the benefit brought by the expansion of the face value of the RMB last year. Otherwise, in the past, we would have to use ten boxes to store the money.

"I want to buy more goods this time. But I only want wine, not cigarettes. You can give me priority in allocating your backlog of goods. But you must also give me a good price."

And to be honest, Zhang Shihui's move was really a timely help.

As the head of the Xuanwu District branch of the Sugar, Tobacco and Wine Company, Manager Huang has not had a very good time in recent years, and the operational pressure has become greater year by year.

For no other reason than the huge increase in tobacco and alcohol production, and the fact that tobacco and alcohol from other places could now be sold in Beijing.

Now it’s not a shortage of stock, but a congestion of stock.

It is still okay for nationally recognized brand-name products, such as Moutai, Wuliangye, Zhonghua and Mudan, which are still hot-selling and still in short supply.

But the local products in Beijing are another story. Both high-end and mid-range products are now under severe impact from tobacco and alcohol from other places.

Except for low-end products like Red Star Erguotou, which are really cheap, they are still selling well.

Cigars like Zui Liu Xia and Yan Ling Chun from Daxing Distillery, Hua Deng from Niulanshan, Tongzhou Laojiao and Jingcheng Daqu from Tongzhou Distillery, and Zhongnanhai, Daqianmen and Tiantan cigars from Jingcheng Cigarette Factory have all become unsalable commodities without exception.

Up to now, not only are there mountains of these things piling up in the warehouse of the Sugar, Tobacco and Wine Company, but the inventory in the warehouses of the tobacco factories and wineries is so much that it makes them worried, especially the Tongzhou Winery, which is almost on the verge of losses.

So you can imagine how happy he would be when he learned about Zhang Shihui's purpose and appetite this time.

To be honest, it was thanks to the fact that he had a resourceful customer like Zhang Shihui, who could help him sell more of his accumulated cigarettes and alcohol every month, that he was able to maintain a better business performance than other districts.

Manager Huang was not a cunning person. If others were kind enough, he would also be a good friend, so he immediately said, "Since you want to buy so many goods, I will give you all the 53 boxes of Moutai and 62 boxes of Wuliangye in my warehouse. As for the other goods I have allocated to you, they will all be discounted by 30%. How do you think?"

"Okay, we are old friends. If you say it's okay, then it's okay."

"Okay, that's great. Your tobacco and liquor store is really generous. It's more luxurious than many big shopping malls."

"Old Huang, please stop laughing at us. Don't you know the details of Wei Min and I? We can only ship goods more easily because we have Pierre Cardin behind us..."

"Haha, what's there to be afraid of? You are a foreign company anyway. As long as your boss doesn't care, no one can say anything even if you abuse your power for personal gain..."

Just like that, the business was done easily.

Zhang Shihui directly bought out the overstocked inventory of the Sugar, Tobacco and Wine Company, solving the problem for Manager Huang.

And that’s not all. Zhang Shihui kindly took the initiative to contact the manufacturers with excess inventory and decided to help these local companies from the source.

To this end, he even rented several large idle warehouses in several factories near the Huimin Tobacco and Wine Shop to store the backlog of goods he had obtained from various wineries in Beijing.

And before May Day, all the warehouses were full.

Because those manufacturers had learned about Zhang Shihui's background and details from Manager Huang, it didn't matter even if Zhang Shihui didn't have enough money to pay the full amount.

They were all willing to sign a payment agreement with him, determine the time for delayed repayment, and then piled the goods on him.

These wineries all believed that even if they could not get paid for the time being, having their accumulated goods turned into bonds was better than letting them go to waste and take up space in their own warehouses.

Moreover, they all believe in the strength of Pierre Catton and Tan Gong Restaurant. As long as they are willing, there is no possibility that they will not be able to digest these goods.

In this way, Zhang Shihui actually only spent more than 1.3 million yuan to buy goods worth at least 5 million yuan for Ning Weimin and himself.

He was not worried about the bonds at all, nor was he afraid of being laughed at for being stupid.

Because in his heart, Ning Weimin would never make a mistake. (End of this chapter)
