Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 9 One day he will bow his head

Ten minutes later, in a spacious conference room in the Bank of America Center office area, only two blocks away from Zongyuan Market.

The middle-aged man crossed his legs and looked at the assistant who successfully received the goods.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that after sweeping the goods for so long, I still couldn't avoid being cut. Did you see who it was?"

"His name is Lv Feng. He's very young and looks like a newcomer to the market. Judging from his reaction, it must be a blind cat catching a dead mouse. He can basically be ruled out as a suspect."

When hundreds of thousands of goods suddenly appeared, the first thing the trader behind the scenes thought of was that there was a traitor in the team, otherwise it would be impossible to match the rhythm so accurately.

After such a long period of continuous buying, he had almost concluded that it was impossible for there to be holders of more than a hundred copies in the market.

Otherwise, how could he dare to raise prices continuously?
This is a confident judgment he made based on years of experience.

Who would have thought that while I was thinking about cutting leeks, I would get such a deep cut before I even started harvesting.

It really hurts!

"Forget it, let's not pursue it for now. Let's arrange things first. It's time to finish it. Next, we still have to focus on the 80 50-yuan four-piece set that will be issued soon."

"We have been planning for too short a time this time, and the profit is only enough to support the team. We must make a big profit from the next 8050 series. Otherwise, it would be a waste of my efforts to gather so many experts like you together."

"Don't worry, boss. The news has been blocked, and several major markets have been well laid out. As soon as the product comes out, we will start selling it, creating the illusion that we are preparing to make a four-edition full set. Since they have been targeted this time, let's give them another smoke bomb. Let them spit out what they have eaten this time."

The trader nodded in appreciation. "This guy called Lu Feng, keep an eye out too, don't let anyone backstab you again."

"Don't worry. There's no such possibility!" The assistant patted his chest and laughed.

His vision was absolutely correct, that person was definitely a pure newcomer who had stepped in dog shit, he guaranteed it with his own orientation.

At this time, the crowd watching the stall had dispersed.

It didn't take long for the whole market to hear that a newcomer had made twenty times the money. Especially when it was mentioned that he had only spent 20,000 yuan, the news spread like wildfire.

"Brother Feng, President Jiang asked you to have lunch together at noon."

"Hmm?" Lu Feng's mood had completely calmed down.

"Didn't I tell you when I first got here? Have you forgotten?"

"Is there?" Lu Feng was confused.

However, he thought about it and quickly agreed. "Tell Boss Jiang that I'll go if he treats me."

"Hahaha, that's my style!" Huang Doudou gave a thumbs up and left contentedly.

He made a promise in front of the boss, saying that he and Lu Feng are close friends.

Of course, Lu Feng had no reason to refuse. Not to mention Huang Doudou's relationship, Jiang Rui's identity alone was worth him meeting.

Jiang Rui is a veritable market celebrity. He has only been in the industry for five years, but his sharp vision is well known in the market. Even most of the newcomers in the market regard him as a weather vane.

Including this time's eight consecutive coin-dividing events, the reason why many people were able to hide a hundred yuan was to wait for his operation.

This should have been a major stroke that would have made Jiang Rui a god again, but unexpectedly, within a few days, all the limelight was snatched away by Lu Feng.

Of course, in the eyes of most people, this was just a newcomer getting lucky.

In a tea restaurant not far from the market, Lu Feng soon met Jiang Rui who was there with Huang Doudou.

This is a middle-aged man in his forties, about the same age as his father. However, compared to his father's excessive old age, the gentle man in gold-rimmed glasses in front of him looks like he is in his thirties. With a simple piece of Rolex black rock candy in his hand, he looks even more elegant.

Before Lu Feng stood up, Jiang Rui came over and asked him to sit down.

"Don't be so polite. We are all in the same business. Maybe I will need your help in the future." "Mr. Jiang, you are joking. Your name is well-known in the market."

While instructing Huang Doudou to order food, Jiang Rui got straight to the point: "After this incident, it will probably be difficult for you to work for Boss Lu."

"How about it? Have you ever considered getting some fourth edition banknotes with me?" (The fourth edition banknotes are the fourth set of RMB, including sets and various denominations. After the fifth set of RMB came out in 1999, they are rarely used for daily payment.)
Lu Feng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Jiang Rui to be so direct. Isn't this trying to steal Lu Youxin's girlfriend?

Huang Doudou, who was standing next to him, heard this and immediately kept hinting to Lu Feng with his eyes, hoping that they could work together.

Compared to Lu Youxin's millions of dollars in assets and hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual income, Jiang Rui is definitely a stronger employer, and his position in the market is two levels higher. In particular, Huang Doudou has revealed that their boss has tens of millions in liquid funds alone, not to mention the inventory of the fourth edition of banknotes.

This is definitely a big customer.

Before this incident, Lu Feng would have agreed without hesitation, but after this experience, he realized that no matter where he went, he might not be able to stay for long.

Working alone is the ultimate way out.

As long as people live under someone else's roof, they are bound to compromise.

Lu Feng doesn't want to be stared at.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jiang, but I haven't decided which section to work in yet. After all, I have only been here for a few months and I don't know anything yet." Lu Feng was telling the truth.

There are many sections in the market. Not to mention the dazzling array of stamps, there are many categories of coins alone, including ancient coins, gold and silver coins, commemorative coins, conjoined banknotes, commemorative banknotes, and so on.

Lu Youxin deals with "old money", that is, the third set of RMB. There is a big difference between him and Jiang Rui who deals with the fourth set.

The third set of RMB is mainly traded in single or single denomination, and small and large sets are still a minority. The fourth set is different, most of them are in sets, and transactions between traders in the industry are single denomination, but transactions are mostly in knives or bundles. (A knife is 10 consecutive numbers; a bundle is knives, consecutive numbers)

Lu Youxin spent his days drinking and partying, and had no time to teach Lu Feng too many things. Until now, he could only barely recognize the different denominations and versions. You know, there are more than ten versions of the third set of one-cent coins, and the prices range from one or two yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. The difference is huge, and it is difficult for non-experts to distinguish them.

Let alone identifying the authenticity, Lv Feng secretly learned for a while, but he couldn't even identify how to make old banknotes look new. It is said that there is a group of people in the market who can make old banknotes look brand new even if they are rotten to rags. If you are not an expert, you will definitely not be able to tell the difference.

"Hahaha, it's okay. The fourth edition is much simpler than the third edition, and there aren't so many fancy tricks. Doudou, who doesn't care about anything, has learned most of it. You will be able to master it in a few months."

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jiang. However, I have already made preparations here. I'd better find a stall to do some business and take it easy." Things came to this point, and Lu Feng spoke his true feelings out of respect.

Jiang Rui's face darkened, but he quickly adjusted himself and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, you should have been in the market for less than half a year."

"To be honest, it's almost four months!" Lu Feng answered seriously.

"Four months! Do you know how deep the water is in this industry? In four months, you may not be able to recognize all the varieties of even the old versions of coins? Do you know how many people in this market are like you, who made a fortune by chance and thought they could start their own business, but in the end they all died miserably without exception?" Jiang Rui's tone had obviously changed.

Lu Feng felt a little unhappy. Because of Huang Doudou, he had originally had great respect for Jiang Rui, but now it seemed that the other party had no intention of really respecting him.

"Boss Jiang, in this industry, everyone relies on their own abilities to make a living."

"That requires real ability. Do you think you have it?" Jiang Rui stared at Lu Feng coldly.

Lu Feng knew that even if he made some money, in front of these powerful bosses, they might not really regard him as a colleague. In their minds, he was still the bottom-level person who relied on Youxin coins to make a living and earned one or two thousand yuan a month.

"Then don't bother yourself!" Lu Feng stood up and left the restaurant without even taking a bite of food.

After a while, Huang Doudou ran out.

"I'm sorry, Feng. I didn't know it was like this."

"It's okay, Dou! I can understand..." Lv Feng adjusted his mentality, looked at Huang Doudou, and said sincerely: "It's just that I can't accept it! Why can they take advantage of their seniority and speak to us in this tone just because they have been in the industry for a longer time? I, Lv Feng, want to gain a foothold in the market to show them that I want to make more money than them. One day, I will make people like Jiang Rui bow their heads in front of me!"

"Brother, I believe in you." Huang Doudou was touched by the emotion and waved his fist vigorously. "If that day comes, I will definitely applaud beside you."
