Since ancient times, showing off has been a basic human need.
If some people succeed in pretending, they can go down in history and become a legend.
But more people got their faces swollen as soon as they finished showing off.
Like today, He Jun has changed from the former to the latter, experiencing what can be called the most embarrassing scene in his life.
He originally thought that this million in cash would be enough to defeat his negotiating opponents.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually took it, and it was he who made a fool of himself.
Daqing Ning Weimin has more than 14,000 rat tickets alone!
Even based on the price quoted by He Jun himself, it would cost 1.3 million to buy them all.
However, He Jun really had no reserve food.
Because the stamp business consumes more funds than any other industry.
All his funds are occupied by stamps, and the one million he brought today is already his greatest energy for short-term cash out in the market.
So what does it feel like to reveal the truth to He Jun?
It was really crackling, making me dizzy, tinnitus, and stars in my eyes.
But the more embarrassing thing is yet to come.
Because for He Jun, although he had obviously eaten shit, he still wanted to maintain the dignity he had always maintained in front of his subordinates.
But he had to continue to pretend as if he had eaten the most delicious cake!
What does it mean to live and die to save face?
This feeling of forcing a performance and deliberately showing off is called a disaster.
For this reason, He Jun experienced two societies, the old and the new, in just a few minutes. Not only did he regret it, but he also missed his grandfather Mr. He very much.
For no other reason, he just hated himself. Why did he only focus on learning how to hit people with cash from his grandfather in the past, but he forgot to ask one more question, what if he didn't hit the person to the ground?
But then again, no matter what, this million is still one million.
That’s enough to build a building, but that’s four large boxes of banknotes!
In mainland China these days, not to mention private individuals, but also public institutions, how many people can come up with such a large amount of cash?
Just placing it in front of Ning Weimin, the visual impact was very attractive to him.
The most important thing is that you can pick it up and go. This is so important and fits Ning Weimin's eagerness to cash out.
So in the end, the business was settled.
After much thought, Ning Weimin decided to accept He Jun's offer.
I agreed to give him most of the Year of the Rat zodiac tickets at a 40% discount on the market price, which is 90 yuan per edition.
As for the remaining 3,000-plus Year of the Rat zodiac tickets in Ning Weimin's hands, what should He Jun do if he wants but cannot afford to buy them?
This is easy to handle. Since both parties are big players in stamps, it is impossible to only have this kind of stamps.
They came up with a compromise solution, simply exchanging votes for votes.
After negotiation, Ning Weimin used more than 3,000 rat stamps to exchange from He Jun for 67 Mei Lanfang souvenir sheets, 150 sets of Mei Lanfang stamps, 200 sets of Huangshan, and 2
One hundred sets of butterflies, two hundred sets of goldfish, five sets of dragon tickets, two red stamps and a large piece of red couplet.
In addition, Ning Weimin also agreed to He Jun's additional condition that within three years, he would never set foot in the Shanghai Postal Market again...
This is the final transaction result.
To be honest, based on the market price alone, Ning Weimin still suffered a loss in the final transaction of exchanging votes.
Because his stamps were exchanged for other people's stamps, the price was 40% off.
These days, Mei Lanfang's souvenir sheet is less than 300 yuan, the Mei Lanfang set is only 180 yuan, and the Dalong set is only 2,500 yuan.
Not to mention that there is an additional clause that can be regarded as "loss of power and humiliation of the country".
But the problem is that the varieties he is interested in are real treasures that are even rarer than rat stamps.
In particular, the red print and the large red couplet can be said to be rare and rare stamps. It's just luck to see them, let alone buy them.
Otherwise, He Jun would not let go.
They both understand this in their hearts, so only they know whether it's really a good deal or not.
In fact, as soon as the transaction was completed, He Jun's secretary, Xie Ling, the girl who was responsible for knocking on the door to invite people today, felt sorry for her boss.
"Boss, do we really need the last three thousand editions? Why did you exchange such precious stamps for him? Those stamps are hard-earned by us. Didn't you say that before? Such good stamps are in a hurry.
, I can't find one in the market across the country. What if I can't buy it back in the future..."
However, unlike Xie Ling's calculations, He Jun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the blue sky, but he seemed broad-minded and heroic.
"One moment and another. If you think about it carefully, how did everything I have today come about? Isn't it achieved through buying and selling arbitrage? If I were like a rich man guarding silver winter melons, I would be reluctant to buy or sell.
How can you be as rich as you are today?"
"Of course, good stamps are not afraid of being squeezed. The more they are squeezed, the higher they rise. But waiting passively is not as good as taking the initiative. After all, it is faster to make profits than if we artificially manipulate the market."
"Think about it again, when I first decided to become a banker and speculate on Year of the Rat stamps, who would have thought that I could reach today's high price? But what happened? In just two years, it increased twenty-five times. This
That’s the power of human intervention.”
"Look at those stamps that I just bought to cover my position. They have gone up. They have doubled or tripled in the past two years. Even the monkey stamps, which are recognized as the best in the market, are only five or six times. This
It’s the difference.”
"Don't worry, when we push the price of the Year of the Rat zodiac tickets again and finish this one properly, we will have millions of funds in hand. As long as we have money and are willing to pay high prices, we won't be afraid.
Can’t you buy good stamps? How many people who buy stamps nowadays really collect stamps?”
"What's more, our He family's way of running the village is three words - trap, raise and kill. We are sure that stamps will fall when they rise. Especially when the price reaches a certain level, if the funds cannot keep up, there will be a big fall.
.It’s like one waxes and wanes.”
"You might as well imagine what it would be like if we had a lot of money and slaughtered those who lost only their underwear. Maybe a few months later, a set of dragons that are now worth two thousand and five thousand,
You can buy it for 1,500 yuan. I sold Mei Lanfang’s small piece for 300 yuan, and maybe I bought it back for 150 yuan. What can I be reluctant to part with?”…
He Junchang's passionate speech impressed Xie Ling.
Not only did she think He Jun's spirit was extraordinary, she even applauded him for it.
"Boss, what you said is great. I understand, except for us, few people in the stamp market can smell the bitter cold. And if people are in a hurry, they won't care too much about the price. As long as we grab it
Placing goods in front of others, and then waiting for the market to plummet to buy, is equivalent to making money both inside and outside. This is the real benefit of being a banker."
It’s just that after admiring it, I’m not without worries.
Xie Ling thought about it again, but still did not forget to remind He Jun kindly.
"However, I still feel that these people in the capital are not ordinary people. Since they are thinking of ways to sell goods, are they also bookmakers in the capital? Like us, they specialize in rat speculation. In that case, shouldn't we also speed up our exit? Shanghai
Is the price of stamps in the sea affected by the capital city from time to time? Besides, I have never met them before, and I always feel hard to believe them. I heard my uncle say that on the surface, northerners seem to drink wine from large bowls, eat large pieces of meat, entertain guests generously, and talk loudly.
, looks bold and majestic. Moreover, the mouth is sweet, and the affectionate energy often puts us southerners to shame. Especially when people from the capital are happy after drinking, they will say, "Your business is my business." But when you turn around, or drink
When I wake up, I feel like a stranger. I will tell you, 'Because I never take my own affairs seriously'.
So what if we increase the market price of Shanghai and Haihai, and they break their promise and get fat in a few days, and come back again?"
However, He Jun didn't have much to worry about.
"Stabilize it, don't worry. Shanghai is Shanghai, and the capital is the capital. Lingling, you may not understand. The capital is a place with many rules, heavy bureaucracy, and things are very rigid. Money is not as useful as human kindness. I
I have been to the postal market in Beijing several times. Sometimes the people there are cute and stupid. They will give you free profits just because you hear a few nice words. Sometimes, they are pitifully stupid. They put a lot of money in front of them.
Many people don’t dare to take it.”
"You won't believe it. When people in the capital don't see money, they dare to say big things. But when they see money, they become timid. At most, they are only willing to eat, drink and accept trivial gifts. You said
Isn’t it ridiculous? A place like this will be destroyed because it has people from all over the country to support it. It only raises lazy people who are clumsy with their hands and their mouths. Who will be hardworking?"
"So the capital city can only be a political center and a cultural center at most, and it has nothing to do with the economy. If it weren't for being the capital, or if it weren't for the convenience of having the right to issue stamps, the market composed of laymen in the capital would be
, how can it affect the price in the Shanghai-Haihai postal market? This time, I will do the opposite and let the rats in Shanghai and Hainan cause trouble and affect the Beijing market."
"As for these people from the capital, you don't have to worry. Although they may not be trustworthy, no matter how many big stamp traders there are in the world, there won't be anyone with a greater net worth than me, right? They brought 20,000 yuan
As for the editions, they almost caught up with the goods I ate. You see, not only did they sell the thousands of editions they bought in Shanghai, but they also sold more than 10,000 editions this time. Where did these goods come from?
You don’t need to think too much to know that it must be the capital. Who says they still have surplus goods, I don’t believe it. And since their goods have been digested in Shanghai, what kind of waves can they make? "
…
Xie Ling was successfully comforted by He Jun and even couldn't help laughing.
"That's right. What's wrong with the people in the capital? How can they compare with us in terms of stamp speculation? They are all 'Xiawu Ning' (country people). Boss, do you think we should also use some after we speculate on rat stamps?
Sell the stamps back to the capital and make those people in the capital angry."
He Jun continued.
"What you said is really childish. Are you going to sell it back to the capital? Didn't I just say that the capital is not a place to do business. Let me analyze it. Those people in the capital are probably poor people. It is probably the administrative order of the capital.
It’s too unfree. They really can’t sell so much goods in the capital, so they come to Shanghai instead of the nearest.”
"So I think that when people in Beijing do business, they also have the characteristics of that city. It's too big and inappropriate, the proportions are out of proportion, everything is boxy, but they don't know how to turn. You see, in just a few words, I was convinced
We were so frightened that we didn’t even dare to go to Guangdong. We had given up so much profit in vain and it was an advantage for us. But as for these goods, for us, we can turn around immediately when we get them in Huacheng. When it comes to doing business, we have to
They are us southerners."
"Hey, I almost forgot when I mentioned this. Lingling, go find Manager Qiu of Jinjiang Hotel to book a flight. I'll make arrangements and try to get to the Flower City the day after tomorrow. We don't have enough funds, so we have to go to another place to collect them first.
Some, sell thousands of versions of mice so that we can continue to speculate. Also, you performed well today, and I will reward you with a new suit of clothes in Pierre Cardin downstairs later."
So Xie Ling happily agreed and went out like a butterfly.
What is very interesting is that almost at the same time, Ning Weimin and his group were also thinking about their own business options.
And there are also many complaints about the urban atmosphere in Shanghai.
"Do you have a ticket back to the capital today? Have you booked the ticket? Once booked, let's leave quickly..."
Ning Weimin was cleaning up in the room and saluting, while asking Luo Guangliang who called to book tickets.
Since one million was too much money, he and Xiao Tao were busy stuffing the banknotes He Jun left them into the two large suitcases they had brought.
As a result, many things could not be taken away. Ning Weimin threw them all on the bed, not intending to take them anymore.
"Brother Ning, why are we leaving in such a hurry? Haven't we sold all the stamps? We don't have to go to Guangdong anymore, why are we in a hurry to return to Beijing? You are really afraid of them. It's not my fault, Shanghainese
, You can't do it with your arms. Even though they are outnumbered, the few tied together are not enough for me to fight alone. Don't forget, the big guys here can't even eat a whole steamed bun, so they can't even eat a whole bun.
"Guo Mo Dou" (half a steamed bun), her appetite is not as good as that of girls in the capital. A girl named Yingzi in our courtyard is only ten years old, and she has to eat one and a half steamed buns for one meal."
Xiao Tao looked at Ning Weimin's "breaking away" at all costs with distress, while expressing contempt for the people in Shanghai.
At this time, Luo Guangliang covered the receiver of the phone and had time to reply to him. "Don't be such a poor person. Why are you talking so much about useless things? Hurry up and help clean up. The tickets for the flight at 12:30 noon must be booked."
, we don’t have much time.”
So Ning Weimin was pleased and praised, and Xiao Tao moved much faster...
It's just that this kid was despised by He Jun's secretary today.
In my heart I still hold a grudge against the girl from Shanghai, so naturally I can't help but vent my anger on the man from Shanghai.
"Brother Ning, I'm really not talking nonsense. You should pay attention to the restaurant where we eat and you will know what Shanghai men are like. What is the funniest thing, do you know? Hey, just yesterday,
When I went down to eat, I caught up with four young men from Shanghai eating in the restaurant. The four of them, you heard me clearly, bought a bottle of rice wine. The key point is that the four of them said in unison, "Come on, do it!"
"You can rest after you're drunk." Well, a bottle of wine and four men can only be drunk after one? If you want to drink something white, why don't you just fall down? Is this considered a man? Let me tell you, a girl from Shanghai
Ning Weimin listened to the more he spoke, the less confident he became, and couldn't help but stop him.
"Okay, what's the glory of hitting a woman? You're still promising..."
Luo Guangliang had also completely put down the phone at this time and started scolding him.
"The tickets have been booked. You are still poor! Have you forgotten what you said when you came out? Follow orders and follow instructions. Don't ask questions about what you are asked to do. There must be a reason for Weimin to be anxious."
Xiao Tao didn't hate anyone but Luo Guangliang. He immediately shut up and didn't dare to quarrel again.
But Ning Weimin didn't intend to hide it at this time.
"Guang Liang, Xiao Tao, that's what I think. Although the price given by He Jun is a bit low, it's an unexpected surprise that the goods brought this time are sold out at once. Now we don't have to go to Huacheng anymore.
I'm selling rats. But I feel like I'll lose money if I don't make a trip, and I've wasted such a good market. So I thought, let's go back as soon as possible, let you two make another hard trip, and bring a thousand copies of pigs with you.
Go to the Flower City to sell the tickets as soon as possible, and at least you can get another million or so. What do you think?"
Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao suddenly realized it, but at the same time they were a little confused.
Obviously they still have so many Year of the Rat zodiac tickets, why don't they sell them when they should sell Pig tickets?
"Wei Min, bring pig tickets? A thousand copies? You won't go this time?"
"Yes, Brother Ning, don't we still have so many rats in our hands? Why did we sell the pigs first?"
Ning Weimin nodded and smiled. "They are pig tickets, not rats. First, because the pig tickets are mine, and selling them in Huacheng is the most cost-effective. Second, I am also worried that the guy named He might be able to beat me if he accepts so many rats from me.
It’s also my idea to go to Huacheng to cash out. If that’s the case, wouldn’t we be in conflict with him by selling rats? If we can’t affect each other’s market, there’s no need. Let’s just sell pig tickets. As for rat tickets, this time I
So I won’t go to Huacheng with you, but I will stay in the capital to deal with this matter as soon as possible. I have to prevent the person named He from selling the rats that bought us to the capital again to prevent the rat tickets from returning to the capital."
Ning Weimin said it implicitly, but Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao had been in the postal market for a long time, and their heads were full of abacus beads.
As soon as they heard this, they both became happy.
Luo Guangliang kept saying, "Yes, it's better to sell pig tickets. Pigs are the home of rats, and the rats will not be affected if the price drops. But if the pigs are lost, the rats will not be able to resist. It would be better if they didn't go to the Flower City.
If they really go, they will definitely suffer a big loss.”…
Xiao Tao was even more gloating. "Haha, then we have to hurry up and let them take advantage of us and pretend to be the boss in front of us. This time I go to Huacheng again. I really hope to meet them and repay this."
The revenge of arrows. They must not not come."
Ning Weimin looked at his watch, but he had no intention of thinking happily with them, and instead began to urge them.
"Okay, there are still one hour and ten minutes left. We are still very tight on time, so let's go downstairs and take a taxi to the airport."
Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao then said nothing more and each carried out the finishing work.
However, before leaving the house, Luo Guangliang remembered something important again.
"But, Weimin, what should we do with the more than 400,000 yuan we have in the bank? Shouldn't we take it with us?"
"I won't take it away."
Ning Weimin said decisively, "Don't say that you can't take it out in a hurry. Even if you want to take it with us, we don't have that many hands. If the airport finds it, it will be completely ruined. It's better not to put all the eggs in one basket."
Anyway, the bank will let you go, and I will have a solid foundation when I come to Shanghai again in the future. That's it."
Luo Guangliang thought that this was actually a good idea, and just nodded with relief. It might as well be that Xiao Tao suddenly became a demon again and wanted to relieve the big hand.
"You kid, why are you so lazy? Why did you leave so early? Are you sincere and don't want to leave?"
He was so angry that he scolded Xiao Tao.
Little Tao Zizi slipped into the toilet and responded through the door. "I'm quick, I'm quick, it only takes a few minutes."
Then he begged for mercy, "Third brother, third brother, please wait for me for a while. Whoever doesn't want to leave is my grandson. In this wretched place, everything you eat is sweet. Just look at it for a few days, and my mouth is watering.
.”
"The people in Shanghai are also so hypocritical. They are so polite that they make you feel abnormal. They say 'Xia Xia Nuo, Xia Xia Nuo' (thank you) all the time. It makes my head spin. And I am a bit older."
A girl has to be called aunt, why is it so disgusting? If you don’t call her, she will roll her eyes at you. It’s better to call us the capital’s names, “Fat Aunt, Second Aunt, Seventh Aunt, Eighth Aunt,”
"Fourth Aunt", that's the normal title."
"The thing that makes me most uncomfortable is that you can't find public toilets on the streets in Shanghai. Damn it, except for a few public toilets in prosperous areas, there are almost no public toilets in the whole city. Can't I solve it quickly?
?Who should I look for when I'm really worried when I'm walking on the street? Although there are simple urinals in the alleys of Shanghai, which can be convenient for people to stand on, there is no cover for them. Pedestrians behind them, regardless of gender, can walk as usual.
This is the case in Shanghai and Hainan, and people in Shanghai and Hainan are not ashamed. Anyway, I can’t urinate, and we don’t have the problem of letting people visit Xiasan Road..."
Ning Weimin and Luo Guangliang were both speechless, guarding the door of the guest room, listening to Xiaotao's chatter in the toilet.
Finally, five minutes later, there was a "bang" sound and the toilet flushed.
