After Chinese New Year's Eve, the first day of the Year of the Monkey was finally ushered in.

Probably the people of the whole country are the same, and they have just entered the first spring of the 80s of the 20 th century, and they have a strong feeling. That is the age of material and spiritual scarcity, and the era of cultural imprisonment is quietly ending.

Take the capital as an example.

On the day of the Spring Festival, the major shopping malls in the capital were crowded.

This is because the commercial system of the capital has organized a number of electroplated tables and chairs, simple sofas, and a sinking and enamel basin from other places to the festival market. It triggered a rush of citizens in the capital.

In addition, the quick-frozen dumplings with pork and cabbage stuffing trial-produced by the Beijing Branch of the National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Import and Export Corporation have also begun to be sold in major vegetable markets in Beijing. It has also been well received by the public.

And these two things show that although it is just an ordinary business operation, because these goods are purchased without a ticket. The practical implications are significant. It almost became a kind of sign with a special symbol of the times - the ticket began to fade out of circulation.

As for the bookstores in the capital on this day, Shigeru Yoshida's "A Hundred Years of Turbulence" and Toffler's "The Third Wave" appeared. In the post office, China's first magazine facing the information industry, "Computer World", appeared. The American film "Broken Blue Bridge" was also announced as an "internal reference".

All this also made the bespectacled cultural youth ecstatic.

In the major cinemas in Beijing, the film that reflects how people during the "movement" period stuck to life and kept their beliefs - "Nightmare Wakes Up in the Morning".

I don't know if it's a coincidence or some kind of foreshadowing of fate, it's really like the name of this movie. From this day on, Hong Yanwu's bad mood also began to calm down, and he gradually walked out of the haze that had trapped him for a long time.

On February 19, Hong Yanwu returned to the "Tianxingju" after several months of absence.

Manager Sha and Master Si welcomed and relieved him on behalf of all the employees, and sent him a clean new work clothes.

The young men also flocked to greet him and introduce the newcomers to him.

Hong Yanwu repaid everyone's hospitality with two "peony" cigarettes, two catties of good tea, and two catties of high-grade candy. Of course, it is inevitable that Manager Sha received a separate gift in his drawer.

For this, Manager Sha is not sorry at all. In his view, this is not called detachment from the masses, but the need to maintain social order. Otherwise, if he, the big manager, is the same as those ordinary workers, wouldn't the world be chaotic?

In short, until the beginning of March, Hong Yanwu's life was ordinary, going to and from work, eating and sleeping, and not even going to the cinema.

Except for helping his parents and relatives at home and some housework, the only place he normally goes to is the post office. Because as time turned to a new page, the meeting gift given to him in the eighties also came.

That's right! That is the "Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications" issued on February 15, 1980, and later almost everyone knows the myth in the history of stamps, the full-page ticket appreciation of nearly 200,000 times the Gengshen monkey stamp!

This set of monkey stamps, also known as "Golden Monkey Stamps", is the first zodiac stamp issued by our country. The monkey ticket has a red background and the pattern is a golden monkey painted by the famous painter Huang Yongyu.

Its preciousness, first of all, lies in the use of a mixed overprint of photocopy and engraving plates.

This printing method, which will soon be lost, gives this stamp a natural and delicate engraved line, and the monkey's hair is distinct. Gently touched with your hand, there is also a texture, and the ink color is dark and shiny. Not only is it so beautiful, but it can't be copied in the future.

The second is that this set of stamps has a small circulation, originally planned to be 8 million stamps, later changed to 5 million, but in fact may be less.

If calculated at the face value of eight cents, it only takes 400,000 yuan to buy it out. The so-called scarcity is expensive.

Hong Yanwu's box office income in March was 3,000, and with more than 100,000 yuan in cash, he could naturally share a lot of money.

Even his intervention has resulted in fewer stamps in circulation, which is likely to further increase the price of this stamp in the future.

It's just that there are concerns. He is also afraid that rushing to buy tickets right away will cause a butterfly effect and cause changes in history. If the country prints this set of stamps, then he will shoot himself in the foot.

In addition, he makes a sedan chair, he doesn't want to bother himself, he just wants to sit and collect the profits, and wait for others to raise the price. But if people sit in the bank, if they can't gather enough chips in their hands, the market will not be there.

Therefore, the ideal time for him to make a move is actually in the middle of the year. At that time, the sale of stamps spread across the country, and a considerable part of the public has flowed to ensure the maximization of benefits.

As for whether there will be an accident at that time, you can't buy enough monkey tickets?

Unless another reborn person pops up, he has absolutely no worries about this problem.

Because of the clear answer given by history, due to the lack of necessary publicity, this stamp was overlooked by most professional stamp collectors in the first place. By the time everyone realized the problem, it was at least 1981 that there was a hard time getting a ticket.

In addition, by observing the market on the spot, he unexpectedly found a more interesting situation. There are many people who are afraid that the stamps are too fine will attract the attention of stamp collectors, resulting in the letter not being delivered as scheduled, so ordinary consumers are reluctant to choose Gengshen monkey stamps when sending letters.

In other words, according to the trend of history, this set of stamps is doomed.

In fact, I really don't blame this guy fate, hiding in a glass cabinet and desperately making faces at people.

Because people who go in and out of the post office today don't know that the huge wealth that they may not be able to earn in their lifetime is lying in a glass case and being treated coldly.

As long as they are willing to pay a month's salary to buy, they will have the rest of their lives. That's a big golden ticket!

It's a pity that no one knows. Most people's minds are probably still wandering around about official positions, job titles, academic qualifications, salaries, benefits, and labor insurance. But he staggered with the windfall that was close at hand and at his fingertips.

Occasionally, one or two lucky guys will come along and buy a monkey ticket or two, or a quadripartite. But it is still unknown whether they will be able to keep this favor of God in the end.

Of course, this scene fell in Hong Yanwu's eyes, but it was an out-and-out good thing.

This is purely the benefit of rebirth, a big red envelope from God. There will be no one to fight for it, he just needs to sit back and enjoy the results.

And 5,000 full-page tickets are his own initial reservation goals. According to his estimates, there should be hope for it.

But it doesn't matter if you can't reach it, it's just an appetizer for the feast of "reform".
