Yang Rui asked for stamps, but Wu Qian ran upstairs despite not understanding, opened the cabinet, picked up several stamps in stock, and carried them down.

In the 1980s, a letter was usually sent for only 8 cents, and if you want an envelope, you will add two cents. Therefore, the zodiac signs such as monkey and chicken are now 8 cents.

Xibao Town is a big town. There are thousands of stamps stored in the post office all year round. By number, there are tens of thousands of stamps, which cost hundreds of copies. Wu Qian can't even hold them even if she wants to.

She took as many as possible, put them on the table, and said, "Please pick them, take whatever you want."

"I don't want these ordinary versions. I'll give them all zodiac signs... I want them all zodiac signs... I want them all roosters and dogs, especially those of monkeys. I'll give them all banned tickets. If there are stamps that start with, kites seem to be OK..." While waiting, Yang Rui found the stamp collection information he had read before in his mind. The contents in it made him think he had no impression at all. I don't know when he read them, but now he's using them.

Yang Rui didn't pursue profit maximization, so he accepted all the ones with similar prices.

The most prosperous period of China's postage market should be the mid-to-late 1990s, especially in 1996 and 1997. Any stamp had a value-added rate of more than doubled. As the trend of the postage market, the price of monkey stamps was 2,000 yuan per piece in 1997, but in 2003, it was 1,200 yuan.

Therefore, in terms of investment, holding stamps was almost the same as in the mid-1990s. In 15 years, the more they increased by tens of thousands of times, and the less they increased by hundreds of times, and the less they increased by hundreds of times, which would not be a loss.

Of course, the premise is that you can invest money now.

Yang Rui's RMB assets are as high as tens of thousands of yuan. In addition to purchasing domestic instruments, he is eating and drinking. At the current consumption level, he will definitely have new income before he can use up the RMB in his hand.

In fact, the US dollar he held was left after ordering the instruments this time. Real estate in China in the 1980s did not exist, and there was no other investment channel except for buying stamps.

Instead of learning from ordinary people, Yang Rui was more inclined to buy stamps and wait for the price increase in 1984.

In addition to being the investment product with the greatest value-added potential in recent years, it also has the advantage of small size.

Things that cost thousands of yuan can be put down in a large box and replaced with other investment products. They have to be stored for more than ten years in one go, but it will be troublesome.

By the mid-1990s, after all stamps were sold, we could continue to invest in real estate and stocks.

If he wanted to live a lifetime, Yang Rui felt that he had almost always looked at the path.

Wu Qian didn't expect that Yang Rui had been optimistic about so many stamps. He just calculated that there were hundreds of items in front of the counter, so Yang Rui asked her to move all the same stamps.

Wu Qian suddenly felt numb and asked, "How come you are collecting stamps? You are simply hoarding. Is there anyone who collects stamps like this?"

"You care how I collect stamps. Anyway, I just want all of them. You can buy them again." Yang Rui was not worried about buying stamps.

In the 1980s, I never heard of anyone being arrested because they bought a lot of stamps or sold a lot of stamps. Even in the late 1980s, there had been a million-yuan stamp trading in the stamp market, and the government did not want to stop it. It should be said that this is the safest investment market in China.

As long as Yang Rui trades fairly, he will not fall on stamps.

In these days, the bigger the city, the higher the officials and nobles are, the more they like this kind of activity.

In another two years, you can stand in a building of a ministry and commission and shout, and you can find more than a dozen people to organize a philatelic association. The popularity is far greater than that of Go.

Giving gifts with stamps is about to become a new way to corrupt cadres. A stamp worth thousands of yuan will be hidden in the purchase time, and it will become a print worth a few yuan. It is the same as later merchants bid for gifts with porcelain, calligraphy and paintings.

Wu Qian looked at Yang Rui's expression and asked, "Do you really want to buy it?"

"certainly."

"real?"

"Also ask?"

"I don't know that the stamps are so heavy. If I move them down, if you don't want them, I'll have to move them up again." Wu Qian said complaining, but her eyes were smiling.

Yang Rui nodded and asked again: "Do you need me to help?"

"The finance office won't let you in." Wu Qian was so cute that she jumped upstairs.

Yang Rui shouted behind the counter: "Be careful to use it, don't use it if you crumpled it."

"I understand." Wu Qian's voice was crisp like a bird.

After a while, Wu Qian moved the two cartons downstairs, and they were filled with full sheets of stamps.

The small and exquisite stamps are very beautiful, and they are born with the urge to organize and collect. Yang Rui still remembers the joy of collecting stamps when he was a child. Although it lasted for a short time and there was not much collection fund at that time, happiness was equivalent.

"Calculate the account, I want it all." Yang Rui read it one by one, quite satisfied. Chinese people are currently collecting stamps, mainly out of their interests, or everyone collects them, and many people don't even care about their appearance, so they squat in the communication room every day to tear up stamps. For example, the 1980-page monkey stamps will not rise sharply until the second round of zodiac sign tickets are issued in 1992. It is not popular now, and there are also stocks sold in the post office.

Yang Rui roughly calculated that the mail products Wu Qian moved out could be worth 200,000 to 300,000 by the 1990s. If they were sold and converted to real estate speculation, they could become half a billionaire.

Wu Qian also calculated the total price at this time, stopped the calculation, and said in surprise: "The total is 1,280 yuan and 60 cents, why don't I put it back a little?"

Stamps worth more than 1,000 yuan were sold slowly in the post office. It was hard for Wu Qian to imagine that someone would transport them to their homes and put them on.

With so much money, it's great to buy a TV.

Yang Rui doesn't think it's expensive at all.

The stamps with an investment of 1,200 yuan will increase by 200 times after 10 years. Even in China in the 1980s, it will have an extremely amazing return.

The most important thing is that the value-added money does not require management. Investors can get profits on time by just placing it in good condition. In addition, there is no need for notes to buy stamps.

The more Yang Rui thought about it, the more he felt that it was worth it. He poured out all the more than 300 yuan in his pocket and said, "I didn't bring that much. I'll take away part of it first, so you can keep the rest for me. After I go back, I'll have someone come to pick it up."

Wu Qian didn't think that Yang Rui's purchase of stamps was worth it. Seeing that he didn't buy them all, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you don't want to buy them, just send someone to say it. I'll move them back."

"I will definitely come and get it." Yang Rui's time is very expensive, and he finally tried to sweep the goods once, but he didn't want to waste his time.

Wu Qian glanced at him angrily and helped him calculate the stamps of 300 yuan.

Yang Rui chose the most valuable one to take it away, and carefully packed the bulk monkey tickets in his bag.

Many of them are said to be bulk monkey stamps, but many are double-tethered or four-sided. When the sender came to buy stamps, the post office staff tore them off. Some of the outer edges were damaged, but they are basically stamps of full quality. I think they can sell them at a good price.

After leaving the post office, Yang Rui turned around and entered the credit union and made an appointment with the teller to withdraw money.

Most of the RMB in his hand is cash, and a small part comes from Shi Gui's foreign remittances. As long as he has the chance, Yang Rui will find a way to withdraw the money.

The interest rate of credit unions is actually very large, with an annual interest rate of nearly 8%, which is similar to bank loans in later generations. However, Yang Rui has various concerns and is always unwilling to put too much money in the current bank.

The only financial institution in Xibao Town is the credit union, which is even more reassuring.

The 1,500 yuan reservation withdrawal was not much, and the teller of the credit union did not give him a second look.

Although the income of Chinese people is not high, they have a lot of savings. It is normal to take a thousand yuan when buying seeds and fertilizers in rural areas or large electrical appliances.

Of course, ordinary people save money for a few years and withdraw it at one time, but Yang Rui uses it to spend pocket money.

After filling out the appointment form and leaving the credit union, Yang Rui carried the cardboard box and simply found a tractor to Xizhaizi Township and went home.

It is not safe enough to store stamps in the dormitory. If you break your appearance, you will lose money.

The tractor swept the black smoke of "puff puff" and disappeared at the intersection. Zhang Boming, who was originally sitting in a restaurant opposite the credit union, jumped up and rushed into the credit union.

These days, he wanted to find Yang Rui's handle, but his brain hurt.

Although there is a father of the director of the Water Resources Department, Zhang Boming has no follower around him. The current second-generation official does not pay attention to pomp, and Zhang Boming has no money to support others.

Without daring to bother my father, Zhang Boming wanted to find trouble for Yang Rui, so he could only find a way out himself.

Nowadays, the best way to understand a person is to read the files. Yang Rui's files are placed in Xibao Middle School. Zhang Boming asked Zhao Dannian for request, but was rejected.

Zhang Boming had no choice but to ask about the old revolution like Zhao Dannian. He wanted to inquire at Xibao Middle School, but the effect was also very little.

Just as he was about to go back to Pingjiang and discuss with his friends, Zhang Boming saw Yang Rui's appearance in the credit union to conduct business.

What business does a middle school student have in a credit union?

Thinking of Yang Rui's huge royalties of more than 2,000 yuan, Zhang Boming felt it was necessary to investigate.

"My friend just came to do business. Have you done it?" Zhang Boming was not stupid either. His provincial government high school brand had no deterrence in Xibao Town, so he simply used it to cheat.

The teller of the credit union was quite impatient and said, "Who knows who your friend is."

"He is a little taller than me, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, like a movie actor." When Zhang Boming described this, he always felt a little bleeding. He shouted in his heart: Teacher Jing, wait for me, don't be deceived by a novice face.

The teller of the credit union looked at Zhang Boming carefully and said, "It's done."

"What should I do? Please tell me, I can go over and do things." Zhang Boming gave a coquettish hand-out cigarette.

The management of rural credit cooperatives has always been extensive. The teller picked up cigarettes and clamped them on his ears. He flipped the person in front of him and said, "Is it okay to withdraw 1,500 on Wednesday?"

"Okay, okay." Zhang Boming left the credit union, and his smiling face seemed to be frozen in an instant, saying to himself: Take 1,500 yuan, what do you want to do?
