Rebirth 80: Start by earning money to build a brick house

"Ziming, I know you mean to help, but if I sell you so many stamps, isn't that cheating you?"

Uncle Yang knew that Zhang Ziming had this strength, and what he was most worried about was that Zhang Ziming was just helping out of good intentions and wasting money.

This kind of "help" is often used by the other two postmen towards the recipients.

Uncle Yang couldn't bear to do this and didn't want to embarrass the recipient.

I would rather save my own money and accept it myself.

How can you explain Zhang Ziming's pain?

He wanted to jump into this pit willingly.

The situation in later generations cannot be described to Uncle Yang.

Otherwise, Uncle Yang will definitely sell the pot and leave a few copies behind.

"Uncle, from what you said, I can't trick you. To be honest, I have a lot of friends in the city. I can help you sell them. It's a piece of cake."

Zhang Ziming could only use this excuse.

Uncle Yang often visits Pingzi Village and Dalinzhai Village, and is deeply touched by the changes in these two villages.

Zhang Ziming's ability is recognized, so this excuse is reasonable.

"Ziming, can you really sell this much?"

Uncle Yang still couldn't believe that even if the other two postmen had been buying and selling by force, there would still be some leftover.

"Uncle, don't underestimate me. Although I am young, I have a broad path. Don't say you still have 10 pages left. Even if you have 20 or 30 pages, I can handle them for you."

If you ask Uncle Yang to help pull it out, maybe you can get more. This big leak must be picked up.

"Ziming, if you really have this idea, it will really help your Uncle Yang!"

Uncle Yang couldn't hide his excitement. If it could be solved, not only would he have money to repay his original investment, but he would also get a salary increase because the task was up to standard.

Under Uncle Yang's gratitude, Zhang Ziming also made an agreement.

It is impossible for Zhang Ziming to carry a lot of money with him, but Uncle Yang can use today's time to collect it inside the post office.

It was a full page, and Zhang Ziming accepted it all.

Tomorrow you pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand.

"Ziming, what were you and Uncle Yang talking about just now?"

On the way back to the village, Wan Zitou asked curiously.

"Buy some stamps."

The answer is simple, but it’s true.

Wanzitou was even more puzzled: "Buying stamps? Where can't I buy stamps? How long can we talk about buying stamps?"

"Hey, my dear Meathead, were you anxious just now by keeping you waiting?"

Zhang Ziming's heart skipped a beat, he must have been impatient and angry.

"I've been waiting for a long time. I'll listen to you call me sister and treat it as your apology."

Wan Zitou poked Zhang Ziming's back with his hand and said with a smile.

Of course he won't be really angry. Wan Zitou knows that Zhang Ziming often comes up with some ideas, so he never questions Zhang Ziming's decision.

"Okay, my good sister and little brother, I will apologize to you. I will take you to a supply and marketing restaurant for delicious food at noon, okay?"

Zhang Ziming imitated a theatrical expression and said with a pleading apology to the meatball on the back seat of the bicycle.

In fact, there's nothing wrong with calling her sister. Wan Zitou's birthday is one month older than Zhang Ziming's.

Wan Zitou pinched Zhang Ziming's kidney and waist, accepting Zhang Ziming's apology.

The next day.

early morning.

Zhang Ziming still took Wan Zitou to the post office to check.

Have been checking for 4 days in a row.

Today I not only check to see if the admission notice has arrived, but I also want to make a deal with Uncle Yang.

When he went out in the morning, Zhang Ziming brought enough cash.

Zhang Ziming brought more than thirty pieces of "Great Unity" worth ten yuan a piece.

The maximum face value now is ten yuan. It would be easier if there was a face value of one hundred yuan.

The reason why "Great Unity" is called "Great Unity" is because the front image of this version of the ten-yuan RMB symbolizes the great unity of the people of all ethnic groups in the country.

Therefore, over time, this money with a face value of ten yuan became commonly known as "Great Unity".

"Ziming, yesterday I asked other colleagues to collect them. Including my own, there are currently 30 full pages. Can you collect them all?"

Uncle Yang is still a little worried, the 30 version is 192 yuan.

The salary at the commune post office is not high, only about 192 yuan a month. This [-] yuan is close to his salary income for more than half a year.

"Uncle Yang, let's see what you said. The things you agreed on are as much or as little as you want. You can't change them."

With only 30 editions, Zhang Ziming still feels that there are a few.

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

Zhang Ziming took away 30 complete and unopened editions of "Monkey Tickets" from Uncle Yang.

However, Zhang Ziming also planned to persuade Uncle Yang to keep a few for himself.

The value of this "monkey ticket" will begin to appreciate starting from the issuance of the "chicken ticket" next year.

Fortunately, Uncle Yang also has this plan:

"I won't go door-to-door to inquire about the remaining unsealed sheets. I'll just keep them at home. You helped solve the big problem, and the rest doesn't matter. Just keep them at home as a souvenir." Ziming , because you help solve the problem, my uncle may get a salary increase."

Zhang Ziming naturally congratulated him. Fortunately, Uncle Yang left some unpacked and loose "monkey tickets" at home.

Otherwise, Zhang Ziming would really feel a little guilty.

The value of this thing can only be known in the future. I am most afraid that Uncle Yang will regret it later.

Since the family has also left it, there should be no regrets.

Wan Zi Tou's admission notice still hasn't arrived, and it's another fruitless day, except for the 30th edition of "Monkey Ticket".

The banquet at home is waiting for the admission notice, and everything is ready, including the wedding.

Zhang Ziming and Wan Zitou were both anxious and angry.

While both families were waiting for the admission notice to arrive, they held a banquet and a college entrance banquet together.

However, there is no use in being anxious, we can only continue to wait.

Zhang Ziming got busy immediately after returning home.

What I am busy with is none other than the "monkey ticket" I just received.

Zhang Ziming still needs to deal with these "monkey tickets" briefly so that they can be preserved for a long time.

Save it until the stamp price is at its highest point before selling it, that will be the most valuable.

In later generations, Zhang Ziming heard it said.

When the "Monkey Ticket" was issued in 1980, one ticket cost 8 cents and one edition cost 6.4 yuan.

By 1984, one piece was worth 3 yuan; in 1986, one piece was worth 30 yuan;

In 1990, the price rose to an exaggerated 240 yuan/ticket, but after 1997, a 10-year downturn began.

The price of a full edition reached 2007 yuan in 27.5;

In 2010, the price of a full-page "Monkey Ticket" was close to one million yuan.

I can’t imagine the madness of stamp collectors.

Collecting stamps is like being an antique lover.

If you like it, you really like it; if you don't like it, you will never understand it.
