Yang Lianzhong also knew Ding Hongxing, and as soon as he saw Ding Hongxing, he smiled and said, "Xiao Ding, you haven't been here for a long time." ”

Indeed, Ding Hongxing is afraid that he has not come for more than a year, and for more than a year, the efficiency of his parents' factory has deteriorated, and the economic situation of the family is obviously not very good, and the price of stamps is getting higher and higher, so Ding Hongxing can't afford to buy stamps.

Ding Hongxing nodded and said, "Yes, Master Yang, my family is busy during this time." ”

Yang Lianzhong is not a talkative person, he smiled and nodded to Ding Hongxing, handed Ding Hongxing a small maza, and asked Ding Hongxing to sit down and look slowly.

Ding Hongxing sat down and looked through the philatelic album on Yang Lianzhong's stall, he looked at it and said to Yang Lianzhong: "Master Yang, your business here is a little deserted!" ”

Yang Lianzhong smiled bitterly, the stalls selling flowers and birds in the willow forest are doing good business, but there is no business in the places where they sell stamps, coins and other collectibles, and no one can be seen in his stall.

Yang Lianzhong said: "Yes, counting you, there are only five people in my stall today, and I have only done a total of three yuan of business." ”

"Why is business so bad now?"

"Since the end of last year, the postal market is too bad, and many philatelists have lost too much in a year, so that now everyone is discouraged and dare not enter the market."

"The postal market is poor, and the stamps are cheap, so why hasn't anyone bought them yet?"

"No way, the Chinese are like this, chasing up and killing down, the more it rises, the more people buy, the more it falls, the more no one buys, now the stamps are falling every day, who dares to buy them?" In fact, in my opinion, now is a good opportunity to buy the bottom, but unfortunately no one listens to me. ”

Ding Hongxing nodded, this is indeed a characteristic of the Chinese, and later in the stock market, countless people also lost their money because of this characteristic.

Thinking of the stock market, Ding Hongxing recalled that China's stock market was very hot for a while after Deng Gong's southern tour, giving birth to millionaires, but he has no funds in hand now, and it is impossible to toss in the stock market, so he can only think about it.

Ding Hongxing asked again: "Master Yang, you didn't lose anything, did you?" ”

Yang Lianzhong shook his head and said: "I didn't lose anything, last year's mail market rose abnormally, I sold most of the goods I thought I was moving forward when I reached the highest point, and I didn't buy again, and I made a lot of money this year, when the price was relatively low, I bought another batch of goods, I didn't expect this wave of low market to last so long, the money was backlogged, and now there is no business, and the money earned last year is also empty." ”

Although Yang Lianzhong didn't talk much, when he met Ding Hongxing, an acquaintance, and was willing to chat with him, he couldn't help but open the conversation box and confide his troubles to Ding Hongxing.

Ding Hongxing asked: "How long do you think this wave of low market will last?" ”

Yang Lianzhong pondered for a long time before replying: "I have been doing this business for almost ten years, about six or seven years ago, the postal market was hot once, lasted for a year or two, and then it went cold, after three or four years, that is, last year, it became popular again, and lasted almost a year, and now it is cold again, I estimate that it will only take three or four years at most, and there will be another wave of good market." Now more than ten years of reform and opening up, everyone has money in their hands, it is a prosperous era, troubled gold, prosperous collection, although there are twists and turns, but the prospect of the final collection is still very bright. ”

Yang Lianzhong's words made Ding Hongxing admire, although this inconspicuous-looking middle-aged man is doing such an inconspicuous business, but he is really discerning, and there are a lot of dry goods in his stomach, he really accurately predicted the trend of China's collectibles market.

While Ding Hongxing was talking to Yang Lianzhong, he saw a full set of first-round zodiac tickets sandwiched in a page of the stamp album, and he asked, "Master Yang, how much is this set?" ”

Yang Lianzhong glanced at it and said in surprise: "Xiaoding, do you want this set of stamps?" This set of stamps is not cheap, if last year, this monkey ticket alone can be sold to more than two hundred, this chicken ticket, pig ticket, rat ticket, cow ticket is not cheap, although the market has fallen sharply this year, but this set will not be less than one hundred! ”

It's no wonder that Yang Lianzhong was surprised, he knew the situation at Ding Hongxing's house, Ding Hongxing used to buy a lot of things at most when he came to him, how could he be interested in this set of zodiac tickets this time?

Ding Hongxing said: "I have a relative who has been interested in philately and collecting recently, and wants to buy some good stamps, but he doesn't know much about stamps, so he asked me to help him buy some stamps." ”

Yang Lianzhong nodded with relief, and he said with emotion: "It's really a good time to enter the philatelic and collecting industry now, what have these stamps fallen into?" ”

Ding Hongxing said: "Yes, that's why I dare to buy this set of zodiac tickets." Master Yang, you say, how much is this set of zodiac tickets? ”

Yang Lianzhong said: "If someone else buys it, I won't sell this set of stamps if it's less than one hundred and five, if you buy it, you will give one hundred yuan, and this price won't make you any money." ”

Ding Hongxing knew that this price was very fair, much lower than the market price in philatelic magazines, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then in addition to this set, I will choose a little more." ”

Ding Hongxing chose a lot of stamps, including many special stamps and commemorative stamps issued in the eighties with great appreciation potential, some souvenir sheets, the most valuable of which is a souvenir sheet of Mei Lanfang's stage art, these stamps Yang Lianzhong gave Ding Hongxing a very fair price, a total of more than 500 yuan, some stamps that are now relatively cheap in the market, he basically sold half and gave away, and gave Ding Hongxing a large stamp album for him to put these stamps away.

Ding Hongxing took all the 600 yuan with him when he went out, he took out the money to pay the bill, and said to Yang Lianzhong: "Master Yang, do you still have this kind of good stamps at home?" If there is, I'll buy some next time. ”

Yang Lianzhong said: "Of course there is, but can your relatives buy so many stamps?" ”

Ding Hongxing said: "My relative is in business, he has money, and he can afford it." ”

Yang Lianzhong nodded and said, "Okay, then next time I'll bring more stamps out." ”

Ding Hongxing said goodbye to Yang Lianzhong, and then rode his bicycle home, in fact, he originally wanted to visit a few more stalls today, but the more than 600 yuan he brought today had been almost used, so he dispelled this idea, anyway, he knew that in this stall that sold similar collections, Yang Lianzhong's collection was the richest and his character was the best.

When he returned home, his parents had not yet gotten off work, so Ding Hongxing took the stamp album into his room and once again admired the stamps he bought today.

Most of these stamps he bought today did not have in his previous life, he had no money to buy these stamps when he was most interested in philately in his previous life, and when he had money to buy these stamps in the future, he was running for a living, and he had no energy to collect stamps, and his interest in philately was also deeply buried in his heart.

And at this moment of rebirth, when he saw these stamps in front of him, his interest in philately was aroused again, and these stamps gave him a great sense of satisfaction.

After all, collecting used to be one of his hobbies, and he also had many hobbies, such as games, billiards, football, basketball, travel, calligraphy, etc., but later in order to make a living, he almost threw away all his hobbies, which cannot be said to be a regret for him.

Now that he has the opportunity to be reborn and can learn all kinds of skills, he might as well live a more exciting life in this life and pick up all these hobbies.

When Ding Hongxing was reading the stamps, Shen Shuzhen came back from work, she glanced into Ding Hongxing's room, and saw that her son was reading a book on the desk, she couldn't help but smile with relief. She shouted: "Red Star, Mom has made something to eat for you!" ”

Ding Hongxing replied and continued to look at the stamps.

During the afternoon dinner, Ding Hongxing was surprised to see a large plate of braised pork on the dining table, as well as a plate of braised crucian carp, and a plate of scrambled eggs with green peppers, these are Ding Hongxing's favorite foods, usually want to eat the same at least half a month, but today there are three things at once, Ding Yuejin also put a bottle of Guicheng Daqu in front of him, Ding Hongxing said: "Mom, what day is today, how to make so many delicious things?" ”

Shen Shuzhen put a large piece of braised pork in her son's bowl, and her eyes were full of apologies: "Son, Mom has no ability, you can't give you more nutritious things when you are growing up, and let you go out to do odd jobs to earn money to subsidize the family, the twenty yuan you gave to Mom yesterday will be used by Mom to buy delicious food, so that you can eat enough, so that you can grow tall and strong!" ”

Ding Hongxing felt that his eyes were a little itchy, as if something wet was about to flow down, he tried his best to hold back, so he said to his mother easily: "Mom, don't I grow quite tall and strong?" It shows that you have not lost my nutrition. ”

Shen Shuzhen looked at her son: "You are indeed growing fast this summer, and you are about to catch up with your father, but you still have to eat more, and you have to grow taller and stronger." ”

Indeed, Ding Hongxing has grown a lot this summer, and now he is at least 1.75 meters, and his body looks very strong, and he is about to catch up with Ding Yue, who was born as a worker and has a great body.

Ding Yuejin poured himself a glass of wine and didn't speak, but he glanced at his son, and his eyes were full of relief.

Ding Hongxing ate a large piece of braised pork in one bite, chewed it, and said vaguely: "Well, Mom, I must eat more, and you and Dad should also eat more." ”
