Fang Mingyuan, who successfully bought a monkey ticket, went home like a float along the way, and when he paid attention to the monkey ticket in his previous life, it was the end of the nineties, and at that time, the price of a monkey ticket had risen to more than 1,000 yuan. By 2007, the first version of the monkey ticket was enough to exchange for a house in a second-tier city. At this time, in Fang Bin's hand, the thick stack of stamps, in Fang Mingyuan's eyes, was a pair of banknotes in the future! This is much more than the richness you get in the bank!
"I must convince my grandfather, I want to buy as much as I want! I won't stop if I don't buy monkey tickets!" Fang Mingyuan had nothing else in his heart except this thought. I don't even know how I got home. After collecting the stamps, Fang Mingyuan frowned, thinking about how to convince his family.
The key to this matter is still on the two of Old Man Fang's husband and wife! Fang Mingyuan quickly made a judgment. Although father Fang Sheng and mother Bai Ping love themselves, when it comes to such a large amount of money, they definitely don't have the courage.
"Alas......" Fang Mingyuan sighed weakly, damn it, these hundreds of yuan have now become a big deal, so that he is really uncomfortable with the annual income of tens of thousands of yuan in later generations.
"Now that you know you're worried, why didn't you think about it just now?" Fang Bin mistakenly thought that his little nephew was worried about how to explain this expense to his brother and sister-in-law, and couldn't help but say with a little schadenfreude.
"Who is worried about this, what I am thinking about now is, how can I get more money and buy all the monkey tickets!" Fang Mingyuan glanced at him and shouted angrily, "Money! Why am I so poor!"
"Do you still want to buy it?" Although Fang Bin had already guessed that Fang Mingyuan was likely to continue to invest in this monkey ticket, his guess was still different from being confirmed by the party concerned after all, and he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Yuan'er, what do you want so many stamps for?"
"Of course it's to make money!" Fang Mingyuan hugged his head and said without raising his head, "Such a good opportunity, but after this village, there will be no such shop!"
"Make money?" Fang Bin said hesitantly, "I've heard that stamp collecting can make money, but it doesn't seem to be as fast as selling steamed buns." ”
"Hmph, if you weren't my uncle, I would definitely scold you, believe it or not, within three years, the value of these stamps can be increased by thirty times!" Fang Mingyuan said in a tone full of disdain, at this time, he couldn't care about pretending to be a child anymore, and his mind was full of how to persuade Old Man Fang to put the money into the monkey ticket.
Fang Bin couldn't believe it, thirty times, wouldn't these stamps be worth 1,500 yuan in three years? This is enough for ordinary workers to earn five or six years without eating or drinking! Originally, he thought that Fang Mingyuan was a temporary child, and he would do everything possible to get his hands on whatever he liked, but once he got tired of playing with it, he would not hesitate to discard it, without considering its value at all. And the reason why he didn't try his best to stop Fang Mingyuan's "nonsense" was because he loved him, and on the other hand, he also wanted to send some letters every year anyway, and this thing could also be transferred, but this money was temporarily pressed on it. Now listening to Fang Mingyuan's meaning, this is actually a channel for money to come very quickly! I can't help but feel a little moved.
"Uncle, you go and wipe that bucket first, let me think about how to get money from my grandfather. Fang Mingyuan waved his hand listlessly.
"Xiao Yuan'er really said that?" When Fang Bin went home and retold the matter to Old Man Fang in private, Old Man Fang, who was originally amused by Fang Mingyuan's "strange words", couldn't help but be moved. After selling steamed buns, Old Man Fang may be the most confident person in Fang Mingyuan in the family, he believes that his little grandson is not the kind of person who talks about it. And the matter of selling steamed buns proves that Fang Mingyuan does have a vision, but after just over a month, the Fang family's steamed bun business is already booming, and the income is even more lucrative. And Fang Bin, who was originally resistant to selling steamed buns, is afraid that he will be even more unhappy if you let him go to work in the factory now.
"That's right! Xiao Yuan'er made it very clear that within three years, the price of those stamps would increase thirtyfold!" Fang Bin said categorically. How could he be wrong about such a crucial matter.
Old Man Fang nodded slightly, although he said that he didn't know, Weishenme Fang Mingyuan said so surely, but obviously Fang Mingyuan was not talking nonsense. The old man has experienced so many years of ups and downs, and he still has this bit of knowledge.
Fang Mingyuan, who came later, didn't expect that before he could speak, Old Man Fang already knew the ins and outs of the whole thing. So sitting in front of Old Man Fang, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, for fear of hearing the word rejection from his grandfather.
"The family does have a lot of spare money now, but if you want to invest in this stamp, you have to give grandpa a reasonable reason, right?" Old Man Fang said with a straight face, "This money is the hard-earned money of your grandparents, aunts and uncles, and your parents, so it can't be handed over to you like this." ”
Fang Mingyuan let out a sigh of relief, that's it, I'm not afraid that you will talk about it, I am afraid that you will not talk about it. Fang Mingyuan believed that with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, he would definitely be able to convince Old Man Fang. He took Old Man Fang's hand and said, "Grandpa, I think so. This monkey stamp is the first zodiac stamp issued by our country, and from this point of view, it has an inherent advantage over other stamps. As you know, there has been a stamp boom in the city recently. I think that such a stamp with special significance will definitely be liked by everyone in the future. As far as I know, only 5 million monkey tickets have been issued nationwide. As the saying goes, scarcity is precious, and this stamp alone simply cannot satisfy the enthusiasm of philatelic enthusiasts. So I think it's going to go up in the future. ”
Old Man Fang gently bowed his head and said, "Is there any other reason?"
"Also, grandpa, our family has only been selling steamed buns for more than a month, and our income has increased a lot. In the future, as long as our family works hard and hires workers to expand production, we will definitely earn more in the future. If all this money is in the bank, I am afraid that it will be too conspicuous and attract the jealousy of other people. And all the spending has the same problem. Doesn't grandpa often say that a gun shoots a bird? But if you don't keep it in the bank and put it in your hand, the money won't increase in value, and you will lose money. So I thought, how can I maintain and increase the value of my money in another way? That's why I decided to buy a monkey ticket!" Fang Mingyuan continued. He knew that in the early years of China's reform and opening up, there were repeated policies, and many strongmen at that time were planted on the crime of speculation that did not exist in later generations. He didn't want the Fang family to suffer this fate one day. Then, from the very beginning, it is necessary to be careful not to blindly expand the scale of production, and at the same time look for other investment channels.
Old Man Fang looked at Fang Mingyuan with a bit of weirdness in his eyes for a long time, and saw that Fang Mingyuan was faintly hairy in his heart, he knew that his words were a little too different from what a six or seven-year-old child could say, if something went wrong, he would be a demon, if he was himself, he would probably feel weird when he saw a similar scene. If it was something else, he could still slowly knock on the side and guide his family's thoughts, but it would be a pity if such a God-given opportunity was let go like this. So he could only look at Old Man Fang nervously.
After a long time, Old Man Fang reached out and hugged Fang Mingyuan, put him on his lap, stroked his face, and said with a little pity: "Xiaoyuan'er, it's really difficult for you, you have to think about these things for your family at a young age, which you don't need to worry about in the first place." Well, since you're so sure, grandpa will help you. haha, money is a thing, you don't bring it in life, you don't take it away in death, it's enough. Just let me see my little faraway eyesight!"
