Chapter 170: Etiquette and Benefit
The word "speculation", in its official sense, refers to the act of seizing opportunities based on the judgment of the market, taking advantage of the price difference in the market to buy and sell and obtain profits.
The purpose of speculation is very straightforward, which is to take advantage of market fluctuations and make a profit on the spread.
That being the case, of course, is to complete the whole process, the shorter the time it takes, the better, and the wider the price difference between the two ends, the better.
And this is destined to be a high-risk speculation.
Because the more the two conditions of short time and wide price difference are met, it means that the market will be more volatile.
Naturally, the higher the likelihood of uncontrollable accidents.
From this point of view, speculation obviously has a certain gambling component, and sometimes, it is even equivalent to gambling.
And this is the reason why Hong Yanwu is afraid that the "sea bumpers" will indulge in it.
But the interesting thing is that things in the world are often not equal.
If we want to focus on Hong Yanwu, we will find that in fact, everything he does by himself, restoring the essence, is speculation.
Such as speculating and selling sea cucumbers, reselling movie tickets, buying foreign exchange coupons, and hoarding tobacco and alcohol.
This is undoubtedly all based on "short-term and fast", aiming at the spread of temporary imbalance in demand, to achieve the standard speculative behavior of rapidly accumulating wealth.
Even he came up with the idea of letting the "general" contract the beach in Ben Cheng, set up a clothing market by himself, and collect stamps, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and seal stones.
Because its purpose and original intention are also to seek the price difference to buy the bottom at a low price, and wait for the appreciation to make a profit.
It is not really about doing something practical and becoming a contributor and participant in promoting social and economic progress.
If compared with standard speculation, the difference is only that the operation cycle is longer and the concealment is stronger.
However, this is determined by the scarcity of investment targets and the characteristics of the current very special times.
Because if it weren't for this kind of coming around in a big circle and coming back, a specific historical period that would require reshaping the socio-economic and ideological consciousness.
It is impossible to have such an underestimated, such a perfect opportunity to buy the bottom.
Although the time period for value to be rediscovered in the future seems to be a bit long, if we compare it with the period from public-private partnership to reform and opening up, or even with the general cycle of our country's economic and cultural rise and fall, it seems very short.
So it is precisely for this reason that this kind of "slow" speculation is safer and contains more lucrative benefits.
Anyway, all in all, whether it is standard speculation or disguised speculation, this fully reflects the benefits of Hong Yanwu as a reborn person.
He is different from anyone else, he has a good understanding of the future social value trend, and has rich speculative experience and experience.
Through various methods and operations, it is equivalent to reducing the risk of speculation to a point equal to zero.
In addition, he himself is from a sideline background, and from the bottom of his bones, he likes to find another way.
It's no wonder that he has a bit of a mentality of "only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps".
While trying his best to exhort the "generals" to be cautious and careful, he himself began to carry out new speculative acts with great interest.
Of course, we also have to say here that some people are really born with certain talents.
Because if this is not true, it is difficult to explain why Hong Yanwu only went to the Song family once a year, and he was able to figure out a new "doorway" with a wit.
Very well placed the "naughty child", "Shunzi", and other brothers who came out of the "bitter kiln" one after another.
And let them live no worse than the other brothers.
What's going on here?
Dare to love Hong Yanwu, it was because he witnessed the situation of the Song family's "tribute" and saw how the people of this family were deeply worried about the countless gifts they refused, and the inspiration came up.
In fact, the increase in the price of tobacco and alcohol at the end of last year is already very illustrative, and behind the long-term shortage of high-end cigarettes and alcohol, it is not just a problem of increasing social purchasing power.
There is another very important reason, that is, the unhealthy trend of public money consumption, hospitality and gifts.
And don't forget, in the past, the Song family was only the only one in the Song family, and now Song Guofu is also a powerful cadre.
In this way, during the Spring Festival in 1982, the Song family was very lively.
The subordinates of the Food Bureau, or the brother units, as well as the large and small companies and enterprises in Xicheng District, all sent special people to find the Song family with large bags and small bags, and almost broke the door of the Song family.
To say that the most laughable thing is that although those gift-givers are eager to kowtow and beg the Song father and son to accept the gift.
But most of these people don't really ask for anything.
It's just out of a kind of "admiration" for power, hoping that you won't be "wearing small shoes" at work and not being "stuck" in doing things.
Everyone is silently agreeing with a truth that cannot be explained.
If you give a gift, maybe people won't remember you, but if you don't, you will be remembered nine times out of ten.
Therefore, the "gods" who should be worshipped have to be worshipped. You can't offend anyone!
But the Director Song they met was one of the few officials in the officialdom who knew the importance and was extremely sober-minded.
Not only does he have a bottom line to abide by, but in order to prevent his son from making mistakes in this, he often reminds Song Guofu not to get dizzy and never stretch out his hand indiscriminately.
In addition, Hong Yanwu will reward his buddies for their efforts in the clothing night market, and there will be a sufficient supply of "big preserved fruits" good cigarettes and good wine every month.
And I made it clear to him a long time ago that if you have any financial needs, you can speak at any time. There is no way to make mistakes in outsiders and let people pinch his handle.
As a result, this Spring Festival, the Song family has become a pure tug-of-war battlefield for human feelings.
You pushed me and refused, not only made many "worshippers" feel extremely embarrassed, but the two "immortals" themselves were even more miserable. It's really exhausting enough for both sides, and both sides lose.
As for the end, how the Song father and son coped with the past, let's not talk about it here.
Since then, every year during the three major festivals, the Song family, who have suffered greatly, have to avoid other places, and we will ignore it for the time being.
Let's just mention Hong Yanwu, what idea did he come up with from this?
Hey, it's the so-called one leaf knows autumn.
Hong Yanwu keenly thought of the atmosphere of the entire officialdom and the human relations of the whole society.
Think about it, the father and son of the Song family can control themselves, but most of the others are not.
The temperature of today's economic boom will definitely stimulate people to have a strong material desire.
What's more, even if it is Director Song, there are also a lot of high-end tobacco and alcohol, precious tea, and ginseng and deer antler velvet in the family.
Because sometimes it is the official entertainment of the unit to the unit, and the public funds are consumed.
So having said that, no matter how honest a cadre is, since he has achieved this position, it is impossible to really be as oily as a whole, and he is completely as clear as water and as a mirror.
Therefore, from another point of view, I am afraid that most officials have these high-end consumer goods that cannot be eaten in their homes.
And if there are too many of these things, it will often form a burden.
Just like Director Wei who helped him get back to the old house, the gifts received by the family had nowhere to be placed, and he was reluctant to give them away or throw them away.
But what about the common people, they want to buy it but can't buy it.
If something really happens, you have to dig out your mind to get good cigarettes and good wine to honor these rabbit cubs.
In other words, these gifts are beneficial!
Why didn't he let "Junzi" and "Naughty" take people to dry tobacco and alcohol recycling?
He already has a shipping channel. No one knows better than him how big the spread is.
And more importantly, these officials often have real good things in their homes, but they themselves are not aware of it.
For example, the cigarettes and alcohol that the "little daughter-in-law" "bought" from Director Wei last time made a lot of money, even if it was measured by real business.
Because a lot of it is aged from the previous year.
Taking "Moutai" as an example, "Three Revolutions", "Sunflowers" and "Three Sunflowers" are all Moutai liquor produced in a special historical period, and it will have a special status in the Tibetan world in the future.
If it is collected at the price of ordinary Moutai, it will not make a profit?
What's more, looking further back, it is really an era when power and money trading is prevalent.
However, there are many people who like to stuff more valuable things into gift boxes.
As a blind cat, it is a high probability to encounter this kind of dead mouse......
