Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

A part of each worker’s wages has become a “big white note”, and the planned issuance of 40 billion was completed nationwide by 16.6% within the deadline, giving the national bond issuance team a reassurance.

Therefore, from 83 to 88, the state successively issued several batches of treasury bills, with an average annual issuance of nearly 60 billion yuan, obtaining a large amount of funds.

As for ordinary people, with more and more white papers in their hands, their hearts are getting more and more uncertain, so the underground trading of treasury bills came into being, and there are sharp-eyed and daring people at any time.

They went south and north to collect treasury bills from ordinary people at a price of [-]% or even [-]% off, and then waited for the government to pay back the money. At that time, the annual interest rate of treasury bills was [-]%, and private purchases were [-]% higher than those purchased by work units. The benefits are still considerable.

It was not until 88 that the country released the trading of treasury bills and allowed some cities to "pilot". The routine of compulsory sales has relieved many ordinary people below. At that time, they really couldn't live on, crying while holding the treasury bills, and they couldn't be used as money. Trading was prohibited before 91.

Chapter 389 Signs of a Prosperous Age (4)

In the mid-80s, steel coins were collected or exchanged everywhere in Northeast China. This was purely folk behavior. At that time, stamp and coin collection activities had already begun in the more developed southern areas, but people in the north where information was closed had not yet. Realizing that steel coins are valuable, a large number of coin dealers are active in the Northeast, exchanging various forms and excuses for cents.

At that time, there were two most common ways. One was to exchange paper cents for coins, often selling some small gadgets. The condition was that you had to exchange the banknotes with him first, such as [-] cents, and you could use [-] cents again. Buy one, or he will give you one for a dollar.

The second is to make a ring. At that time, some southerners would often see a small stove in the streets and alleys, jingling and beating. How many cents you gave him, he would give you a "silver" ring. There are several kinds of rings. The half-and-a-half cent coins contain silver, which he can purify. Ten coins can be exchanged for a "silver" ring, which is actually an alloy of lead, and it gets black everywhere when worn.

At that time, people's lives had stabilized, and they began to learn to dress themselves up, perm their heads, wear flowered clothes, and wear jewelry.There are many people queuing up to change rings every day, and there is an endless stream all day long, and the business is very good.

However, most people just get it fresh, and it is quite bright in the first few days, and it turns dark after wearing it for a few days, and they forget it wherever they are thrown, and it is not a big deal to change a few steel coins.

Children also change a lot, wearing rings, how tall they are, and just pulling a few steel coins from home, what a bargain.

As for this small business that didn’t start, I don’t know how many millionaires have been produced. In terms of consciousness and thinking, people in the Northeast are more than one river behind the people in the South.

By the time the Northeast people realized that they wanted to go out to earn money, the outside of Shanhaiguan had a new look, and the rich had left everywhere. If you use grades to describe the people in various places at that time, the Northeast just worked out the version 1.0 of getting rich, and the outside of Shanhaiguan is already 2.5. , the coast has just risen to 4.5, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai 6.0, and then the first batch of people going out in the Northeast all got big bags, and all those who were fooled by others came back limping.

Then, the Northeast people became a gangster outside the customs, why?If you've been coaxed into evil, just do it, and you've been punished in this place, so you can't get it back?How can I go back to see the elders in my hometown if the whole result comes out?Just squat there and do it, and then the reputation will come out.

This is actually just a regional cultural difference. Unlike the gentleness of most areas in the Guan, Northeast people prefer to go straight, say what you have to say, and fight first when you are angry. This is the biggest shortcoming of Northeast people, they love to do things.

Drinking at a table, drinking and then fighting, sitting down and drinking after the fight seems to be a normal thing in the Northeast, not a story.

……

As the saying goes, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.

Since the early 80s, the domestic stamp market and the coin market have become popular one after another. With Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang as the center, it has radiated to the whole country, which has driven a large number of people to join in and just propped up an industrial chain. Who can say that this is not a prosperous age. sign?It shows that the policy is stable, the life of the common people is better, and some people have leisure and ambition.

China's antique and antique market also sprouted in the early 80s, and took shape in the mid-80s, forming a highly specialized industrial chain of gray cultural relics in several major cities across the country.

The reason why it is said to be gray is because most of the domestic merchants and markets engaged in the trading of antiques and cultural relics are "wild" schools that do not have the qualifications for trading cultural relics. Since the 60s, those that have been qualified for trading cultural relics have always been state-owned cultural relics stores. In addition to sales, the cultural relics store also has the function of managing the cultural relics market. It can be regarded as a half-commercial and half-management authority-type institution with a lot of power.

The cultural relics store is not open to domestic guests, but only to foreign guests and overseas Chinese. You need to use foreign exchange rolls to buy things, and the prices are very humane. A finely carved bone brooch is 120 yuan, a calligraphy and painting by a famous Ming Dynasty artist is 88 yuan, and a Qing Dynasty Kangxi big pot is [-] yuan, no counter-offer.

The things bought from the cultural relics store have certificates and can go out of the customs directly, saving even the customs declaration, which is a real one-stop service.

At that time, many folks raised money everywhere to exchange foreign exchange certificates to buy goods in cultural relics stores, but how could a few ordinary people work in a country where the Japanese came to sweep goods by trucks.

During the ten years of turmoil, a large number of antique cultural relics were destroyed, but from another perspective, it did bring benefits to those who like to collect.

Because of the great movement to eliminate the four old things, a large number of cultural relics were lost to the people, and the protection of cultural relics stopped for a while, and the price of cultural relics remained low until 95.

How low was the price of cultural relics in the decade from 81 to 95?Half of a truck driver's total income can support him to open a private museum in 2000.

The typical representative here is Professor Ma from the forum of hundreds of schools. If you are interested, go to Du Niang by yourself.

But the collection of antiques and cultural relics must belong to a minority culture. The requirements for people’s knowledge, vision, luck and financial resources are too high. , That's really what you think too much.

Moreover, in the 90s, the cultural relics market was prosperous, and the counterfeit industry began to flourish. The products produced were more authentic than the real ones. Our cultural traditions are very tolerant to such people. Stealing books is not considered stealing. Looking for a seller, isn't this a piece of crap?

You know it's fake and sell it, isn't that fraudulent?Why is there such a so-called rule?Who do you think made it?Who are the beneficiaries?In the end, outsiders can only pay the bill.

Look at those tycoons, they start to look like dogs when they have money, they always want to put on the appearance of a cultural person, which room doesn't have some last week's goods worth hundreds of millions.

Who gets rich overnight by picking up leaks, what ancestral items are worth tens of millions, let me ask you, except in the newspapers, who has ever seen a lottery winner?

As for the collection activities that the whole people participate in, that is, stamps and coins.

Chinese postage stamps were first used in the Qing Dynasty, and were issued by foreigners who controlled China’s customs at that time. The bilingual stamps are very tall, and the more famous and valuable ones are big dragons and small dragons.

Later, stamps were issued in various historical periods, and there were several kinds of valuable ones, such as the Republic of China stamps, border area stamps, and Cultural Revolution stamps, all of which were relatively rare.

It was after the founding of the People's Republic of China that China really issued its own stamps, and philately began at that time.

In 1955, the China Philatelic Corporation was established under the Ministry of Posts, which opened the curtain of the philatelic market, and philately is also the only collection activity led by the state and initiated by the whole people.

Although it is said that the current coin collection market is actually dominated by the state, but this is the participation of the state from the rise of the people, and it is not counted as the anti-customer-oriented later.

Chapter 390: All Beings in the Market (5)

Separated from Qiu Shilin and Mali, Zhang Xingming walked home with Mahua and Dadongzi.

From the food station is a non-staple food store, and above the non-staple food store is a department store. This is the center of Guobao. The front, rear, left, and right sides, including the police station, add up to only two acres of land, and surrounding these shops are all residential buildings.

Above the store is the auxiliary road from the Shendan Highway to the concentrator, also called the factory road, which was built by the factory. At this time, this road is a free market, and all the sellers are concentrated on this road, because this road is for commuting to and from get off work. The road with the most workers.

At the intersection is a row of four or five tin sheds. The first one is the largest, opened by Hou Fang’s family. It has large glass windows on both sides of the street and sells some groceries. The latter ones are much smaller. A scrapped Zhongba shell, the small window can't stick your head in, and only sells some non-staple food.

This place is a crossroads, and it is also the only crossroads in Guobao until now, and the business has been concentrated here until now.

With the Shendan Highway as the boundary, there are shops, grocery stores, and free markets on this side, and there are restaurants on the other side of the road. There are four or five restaurants, the largest one is state-owned, and the business of large collectives, and the rest are privately operated. They are all tin sheds, where three or four tables can be placed. The environment is very poor and simple, but in this era, many people envy them. Seeing others, they have opened restaurants. In fact, ordinary people come to restaurants very much. At least, who would be willing to spend this money? People in the society or work units will have a drink if they have nothing to do. The former drinks for face, and the latter drinks other people's money.

Several vegetable sellers wrapped in coats stood behind the car and stomped their feet, covering thick masks. Zhang Xingming and Dadongzi walked over, and the vegetable sellers raised their hands and took off their masks to say hello: "Are you here today? What do you use?" ?”

This is habitual thinking. At that time, if there were no distinguished guests at home, few families were willing to go out to buy green vegetables to eat. Big sauerkraut stewed potatoes and some pork belly, eating it would last a winter. This is because the living conditions are better now. It turns out that there is no meat at all, and those who can put some lard are counted as upper-class families.

Looking at these vegetable sellers, Zhang Xingming felt a little embarrassed. In his last life, his mother and elder brother were standing in the snow and stomping their feet at this time. The hard work involved is really indescribable.

These vegetable sellers are basically rural households around Guobao. If they can do business, they will have a way to survive. Sell ​​vegetables and braised pork.

Farmers in the Northeast have a difficult life. There is only one season of farming, starting from June and July, and it can last until September. Then there is nothing in the field, and there is no income. How much money can I pay for a few acres of land in three months?

Someone who knew Zhang Xingming shouted from a distance, "Er Ming, do you want to buy vegetables?"

The resentful person who spoke first looked back at the caller, and said nothing, because he knew him as an acquaintance, so he couldn't find out the reason, if he didn't know the caller, he would have to fight.

"Second brother, are you selling vegetables now? Don't you want tofu anymore?" Zhang Xingming turned around and walked to the front of the stall. This man was named Liu Er. No one knew his real name. Everyone called him that, even his wife called him that.

The couple came out of the mountains and originally wanted to join their relatives, but it turned out that their lives were not as good as his family's. At that time, industrial households really did not have a better life in the countryside.The couple didn't want to go back to the mountains anymore, so they set up a tofu stall in Guobao. At that time, making tofu was not considered a craft, and everyone in the countryside could do it.

Who knew that the first time I put in beans, I was deceived by someone. The water I put in was full of beans, and the tofu I made had no oil and was as unpalatable as bean dregs. A few hundred yuan was thrown into the water.

The couple were crying at the tofu stand, and they happened to be met by their father, who was an enthusiastic person, so he asked a few questions, and ended up lending 500 yuan to these two strangers. Climbed out, and the business started.

At that time, there were a lot of beans on the market, and they even appeared in grain stations, which deceived many people.

The so-called one-eyed bean means that there is a round hole with a diameter of one millimeter on the top of each soybean grain. This is a small Japanese oil extraction technology. It does not damage the beans. If you are not careful, you can’t see it at all. was drawn away.
