Chapter 58: Coming Home
The gap between Shenzhen in the 21st century and Shenzhen in the 80s is much larger than the gap between the current third-tier cities and New York. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In essence, in terms of urban infrastructure, China's second- and third-tier cities are considered to be the top level in the world.
And Shenzhen in the 80s is really not as good as some small counties in the fourth and fifth tiers in the 21st century.
Lin Qi is in Shenzhen in the 80s, and he won't even get lost without a local guide, after all, the city is so big, it's hard to get lost.
But Shenzhen in the 21st century is like a huge labyrinth, even if there is a mobile phone map, it may not be able to distinguish the east, south, north, west.
So...... Taxis are needed, not so much as for transportation, but for tour guides.
"Master, where is the stamp trade in Shenzhen?" said Lin Qi, who got into a local taxi in Shenzhen.
"There are many stamp trading markets, the most famous of which should be the Workers' Cultural Palace and the Shenzhen Book City. The taxi driver said familiarly.
"Where is it more professional?" Lin Qi asked.
"Shenzhen Book City, after all, it is a professional market for philatelic and numismatic collectibles in Shenzhen. The taxi driver said.
Lin Qi nodded and said, "Thank you, then go to Shenzhen Book City first." "Open the map search on the phone, it's similar to what the driver said, you shouldn't be deceived.
Next, Lin Qi endured a traffic jam for more than an hour and arrived at Shenzhen Book City.
Sure enough, this is a more professional stamp trading market, and customers can only trade stamps through stall owners as intermediaries, and cannot trade privately.
There are at least a few hundred stall owners throughout the market, acting as brokers or market makers for the purchase and sale of stamps. Someone buys stamps in the market, and they can offer stamps. When someone sells stamps, you can also look for them.
After Lin Qi inquired about the rules, he chatted with a female stall owner and said, "How much is a monkey ticket in the market now?"
"Are you asking about the 80-year-old monkey ticket?" the female stall owner smiled and said, "That's expensive, at least 10,000 yuan in good condition, of course, the price is unstable, and there will be fluctuations of one or two thousand yuan up and down." ”
"If I sell you monkey tickets, do you want them?" Lin Qi said.
"Yes, of course!" the female stall owner smiled, "Monkey stamps are the most valuable stamps, and if someone sells them, they will definitely accept them." ”
When Lin Qi heard this, he took out a philatelic album from the 80s from his backpack and opened the philatelic album.
The female stall owner was stunned......
The whole stamp album is full of monkey stamps!
Although it is a scattered monkey ticket, it is not as valuable as a whole page.
If it is a full-page monkey ticket, the transaction price has exceeded 1.5 million yuan, and it may not be possible to buy it if you have money.
Generally, the full-page monkey tickets are sold, and they can be on the news.
"How many are there?" asked the stall owner, a little trembling.
"237 sheets, it should be. Lin Qi said cautiously.
"What are you messing with?" asked the stall owner.
Lin Qi smiled and said, "When I was very young, I collected it at home. However, when I moved in elementary school, I never found the philatelic album, and recently I accidentally found it again, and if I had found it earlier, I might have sold it more than ten years ago!"
"What luck!" the stall owner laughed, "If you sell early, you will lose a lot of money." ”
The female stall owner picked up a magnifying glass, carefully picked up a monkey ticket with tweezers, and took a few minutes before she said preciously: "It's true, but the quality is ...... A slight blemish, a little bit of tooth missing. If this one is to be sold, it will be up to 9,000 yuan. ”
"Xiao Tao, you're too dark, aren't you?" a tall and thin man walked over and said, "Don't believe her, I'll sell it to me for 10,000 yuan!"
"Hey, Lao Gao, are you stealing business?" the female stall owner surnamed Tao was a little angry.
"The one with the highest price will receive the goods according to his ability!" this friend, I will pay a higher price, will you sell it to me or sell it to her?" said the male stall owner surnamed Gao.
Lin Qi nodded and said, "Of course I'm willing to sell for more money, but I can't bear to hurt your peace." In this way, the monkey ticket is 10,000 yuan, and Miss Tao has worked hard to identify, if she is willing to give 10,000 yuan, she will give her priority. The monkey tickets in the back will be auctioned, and after the appraisal, the lowest price will be given, and then, the stall owners, whoever gives more, will give it to whom!
Other stall owners heard that there were more than 200 monkey tickets, and they also came to see the excitement.
"Monkey stamps, good things! Although I don't expect to make money, there are few monkey stamp collections, and I am embarrassed to say that I am a stamp collector. ”
"Damn, this little brother, the real person doesn't show his face!"
"Auction?"
With more and more attention, the management unit of the stamp market has also agreed to hold a small auction specifically for the more than 200 monkey stamps.
After an afternoon of painstaking appraisal and auction, all the monkey tickets were out of stock. On Lin Qi's bank card, there is an extra deposit of more than 2.1 million yuan.
With this deposit that can be used in the 21st century, Lin Qi can't help but feel relieved.
Of course...... Technology and creativity in the 21st century have an overwhelming advantage over the 80s of the 20th century.
But...... Some special items from the 80s, such as monkey tickets, can also be obtained here to obtain the terrible wealth multiplier.
A monkey ticket has a face value of only 8 cents, and its collectible value has been neglected in 80 years. But in the 21st century, it is one of the biggest beneficiaries of China's economic rise.
More than 30 years of more than 100,000 times growth!
The total multiple of the investment growth of Warren Buffett's life is similar to that of a monkey ticket.
After Lin Qi exchanged more than two million yuan in cash, he was not greedy.
As a matter of fact...... If he wants, he can collect more monkey tickets in the parallel world. Even, a full-page monkey ticket can be easily bought in a bunch.
But......
For the sake of safety, Lin Qi still gave up this practice.
After all, most of the full-page monkey ticket sales will be exposed in the news, and the movement is very large.
These torn single monkey tickets are not so eye-catching. After all, the monkey ticket was reported to have a circulation of between 3.6 million ~ 5 million that year. While most of the monkey stamps may have been consumed as regular stamps in the early days, it is estimated that there are more than two million monkey stamps in stock worldwide.
But according to estimates, there are only a few thousand full-page monkey tickets. As soon as the full-page monkey ticket auction is exposed, it can become a blockbuster news in the stamp market!
……
February 2018.
Before the Chinese New Year, Lin Qi returned to his hometown, and after returning home, he threw 1 million to his parents, saying: "This is a reward for good business performance this year, and the company will reward it." ”
"What kind of business is so profitable? Don't it be illegal, right?" the parents were a little frightened.
"No, it's developing mobile games. Lin Qi said, "The boss gives money, and I find second- and third-rate Internet writers to make up some game stories, artificial IPs, and then outsource game development to cheap IT workers in India." The whole game is rubbish to death, it's purely a lottery to cheat Krypton, and how many people can be wronged!"
It's very convincing that mobile games make money.
After all, game manufacturers around the world have begun to shift their focus to the mobile game business. Other consoles, handhelds, PC stand-alones, and online games are a bit sluggish.
"Don't make up the company boss like that. "My mother was a little worried, afraid that he would talk nonsense and cause trouble outside.
"Talk about it at home, never talk about it outside. Lin Qi said.
"Is there anyone to talk to outside?"
"Busy ...... work"
"If you don't talk about it, you will go on a blind date for the New Year. Your parents have been paying attention to you for a long time, and you know the female classmate when you were a child, like you, she is also busy with work all day long and has no time to fall in love. ”
"......" Lin Qi felt very entangled, if it weren't for his parents in this world, he wouldn't have bothered to come back. In the future, he is estimated not to stay in this world for a year.
But his parents asked him to go on a blind date, if he met the girl, wouldn't it hurt others?
