Return To 1977 Chapter 723: Etiquette and benefits

The word "speculation", from the official definition, refers to the trading behavior of seizing opportunities based on judgment of the market, and taking advantage of the price differences in the market to make profits from buying and selling.
The purpose of speculation is very straightforward, which is to take advantage of market fluctuations and obtain price difference profits.
In this case, of course, the shorter the time it takes to complete the entire process, the better, and the larger the price difference between the two ends, the better.
And this means that speculation is high-risk.
Because the shorter the time and the larger the price difference, the more severe the market fluctuations are.
Naturally, the possibility of uncontrollable accidents is higher.
From this perspective, speculation obviously has a certain element of gambling, and sometimes it is even equivalent to gambling.
And this is why Hong Yanwu is afraid that the "Hai Bangzi" will indulge in it.
But the interesting thing is that things in the world are often not equal enough.
If we want to focus on Hong Yanwu, we will find that in fact, everything he does is, to its essence, speculation.
Like speculating on sea cucumbers, reselling movie tickets, buying foreign exchange coupons, and hoarding tobacco and alcohol.
This is undoubtedly a standard speculative behavior that relies on "short-term and fast", aiming at the price difference of temporary demand imbalance, to achieve rapid accumulation of wealth.
Even when he came up with the idea to let the "general" take over the beach in Bincheng, set up a clothing market himself, and collect stamps, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, seal stones, etc., he was no exception.
Because its purpose and original intention is to seek price differences to buy low prices and wait for appreciation to make profits.
Rather than really wanting to do something practical and become a contributor and participant in promoting social and economic progress.
If compared with standard speculation, the only difference is that the operation cycle is longer and the concealment is stronger.
But this is determined by the scarcity of investment targets and the extremely special characteristics of the current era.
Because if it hadn’t gone in a big circle and come back again, it would have been necessary to reshape the socio-economic and ideological specific historical period.
It is absolutely impossible for such an underestimated and perfect bargain-hunting opportunity to arise.
Although the time period for value to be rediscovered in the future may seem a bit long, if compared with the period from public-private partnership to reform and opening up, or even compared with the great cycle of the rise and fall of our country's economic and cultural economy, it actually seems very long. short.
So it is for this reason that this "slow" speculation is safer and the benefits are more abundant.
Anyway, in short, whether it is standard speculation or disguised speculation, this fully reflects the benefits of Hong Yanwu as a reborn person.
He is unlike anyone else. He has a very good understanding of the future social value trend and has rich speculation experience and insights.
Through various techniques and operations, the risk of speculation is reduced to a point equivalent to zero.
In addition, he comes from a eccentric background, and from the bottom of his heart, he likes to find new ways.
It is no wonder that he has a mentality of "only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps".
While trying his best to advise the "general" to be prudent and careful, he himself started to implement new speculative behaviors with great interest.
Of course, we have to say here that some people are born with certain talents.
Because if this point is not true, it will be difficult to explain why Hong Yanwu was able to figure out a new "doorway" just after visiting the Song family once.
The "naughty boy", "shunzi", and other brothers who came out of the "bitter kiln" were all settled very properly.
And their lives are no worse than those of other brothers.
What exactly is this?
Dare to love Hong Yanwu, who came up with the idea after witnessing with his own eyes the situation in which the Song family was overcrowded with "tributes" and how the family was deeply worried about rejecting countless gifts.
In fact, the increase in the price of tobacco and alcohol at the end of last year has already explained the problem. The long-term shortage of high-end and high-end tobacco and alcohol is not just a problem of the increase in social purchasing power.
There is another very important reason, which is the unhealthy trend of spending public funds, treating guests and giving gifts.
And don’t forget, in the past, Director Song was the only official in the Song family, but now Song Guofu is also a powerful cadre.
In this way, during the Spring Festival of 1982, the Song family was extremely lively.
Subordinates of the Grain Bureau, or fraternal units, as well as large and small companies in Xicheng District, all sent special personnel to find the Song family with large and small bags, and almost broke down the door of the Song family.
The most ridiculous thing is that although those who gave the gifts wanted to kowtow and beg the Song family and his son to accept the gifts.
But most of these people don't really want anything from each other.
It is just out of a kind of "admiration" for power, and it is enough to hope that you will not be "slapped" at work and not be "stuck" in doing things.
Everyone is silently agreeing with an unexplained truth.
If you give a gift, you may not be remembered, but if you don't, chances are you will be remembered.
So the "god" that should be worshiped has to be worshiped anyway. Don't offend anyone!
However, the Director Song they met was one of the few officials in the officialdom who understood the importance of importance and was extremely clear-headed.
Not only did he have a bottom line that he adhered to, but in order to prevent his son from making mistakes, he often reminded Song Guofu not to lose his head and never reach out randomly.
In addition, in order to reward his friends for their efforts in the clothing night market, Hong Yanwu would provide a sufficient supply of "big preserved fruits", cigarettes and wine every month.
And I told him clearly in advance that if I have any financial needs, I can ask him anytime. There is no point in making mistakes on outsiders and letting others take advantage of him.
As a result, this Spring Festival, the Song family has become a purely human tug-of-war battlefield.
The rejection and rejection not only made many "worshippers" feel extremely embarrassed, but the two "gods" themselves complained endlessly. It was really exhausting for both sides and hurt both sides.
As for how the Song father and son dealt with the situation in the end, we won’t talk about it here.
From then on, during the three major festivals every year, the Song family, who suffered deeply from it, had to stay away from other places. We will not care about it for the time being.
Let’s just mention Hong Yanwu. What idea did he come up with regarding this matter?
Hi, as the saying goes, one leaf can tell the autumn.
Hong Yanwu was keenly reminded of the atmosphere of the entire officialdom and the relationship between people in the entire society.
Think about it, the Song family father and son can control themselves, but most other people can't.
The temperature of today's economic boom will definitely stimulate people to have strong material desires.
What's more, even Director Song's house has a lot of high-end tobacco and alcohol, expensive tea, ginseng and deer antlers.
Because sometimes it is official entertainment between units and consumption of public funds.
So having said that, no matter how honest a cadre is, now that he has reached this position, it is impossible for him to be completely clean and clear as a mirror.
So from another perspective, I am afraid that most officials now have an endless supply of these high-end consumer goods at home.
And if there are too many of these things, they will often become a burden.
Just like Director Wei who helped him get his old house back, he had nowhere to put the gifts he received at home, and he couldn't bear to give them away or throw them away.
But as for the common people, they want to buy it but can’t.
If you really encounter trouble, you have to work hard to buy cigarettes and alcohol to honor these bastards.
In other words, these gifts are benefits!
Why didn't he let "Shunzi" and "Naughty" lead people to recycle tobacco and alcohol?
He already has shipping channels. No one understands the magnitude of the price difference better than him.
What’s more important is that the families of these officials often have really good things, but they themselves are not aware of it.
For example, the cigarettes and alcoholic beverages that the "little wife" "bought" from Director Wei last time with false pretenses were a huge profit even if measured by real business.
Because many of them are aged wines from previous years.
Take "Moutai" as an example, "Three Revolutions", "Sunflower", and "Three Sunflowers" are all Moutai produced in special historical periods, and will have a special status in the Tibetan community in the future.
If the price is charged at the same price as ordinary Maotai, wouldn’t it be a huge profit?
What's more, looking back, we have reached an era when power-for-money transactions are prevalent.
But many people like to stuff more valuable things into gift boxes.
As a blind cat, there is a high probability of encountering such a dead rat...
