In order to wait for Gu Bei, Li Sufen got off work late today and was busy cooking when she got home. Gu Nan was doing homework at Ji Peijie's house, along with Liu Bei in the front yard.

"dad!"

Gu Bei approached Gu Xiaowu and cautiously handed over a cigarette, testing it openly.

Gu Xiaowu looked at it and reached out to take it: "Smoking is not a good thing, so smoke less."

"Eh!"

Gu Bei agreed, struck a match and lit it for Gu Xiaowu. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and instantly felt that his family status had improved.

"There is a letter from you and it is on the table."

letter?

After Gu Bei heard this, he was in a daze and didn't realize that in the era he lived in, letter was only a noun. The contact between people, either by phone, WeChat, text message and QQ, were on the verge of being eliminated.

"Who's here?"

"Your aunt."

A familiar figure flashed through Gu Bei's mind, it was his aunt Li Suhua. When he was reborn, Li Suhua had already married.

In my memory, the relationship between the two is very good.

Li Suhua went to the countryside to Yunnan, and met Gu Bei's uncle Ge Nanfang at an educated youth center. After returning to the city in 1979, she stayed at home for a short time before going south to Guangzhou and getting married.

When he returned home, he saw a letter on the table. He didn't rush to open it and read it, but it was the stamp on the envelope that caught Gu Bei's attention.

A naive monkey.

One-third of the stamp is postmarked.

What a waste of natural resources!

During this time, Gu Bei had been thinking about making money, but he had forgotten about this.

Monkey ticket!

Speaking of Monkey Tickets, they are quite famous. In previous lives, it is said that a single coin was sold for over 10,000 yuan, and the entire edition was sold for an astonishing price of 1.2 million yuan. The collectors called it the "Golden Monkey".

There are three reasons for this: it is the first edition of zodiac stamps issued by China; the author is Huang Yongyu; and the quantity is rare.

When it was first issued, it was originally planned to issue eight million. Considering the issue of the philatelic base, it was reduced to five million. However, during the printing process, it was damaged due to technical reasons. In the end, only more than four million came out, a large part of which was

After it was used, it was very rare to be passed down to future generations.

Based on these three points, coupled with the push from some people behind the scenes, the price of monkey tickets has skyrocketed. There is even a magical story circulating in the market:

There was an old man in the South who worked at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau. In order to complete the sales task assigned by him, he ruthlessly bought six editions of monkey tickets. As a result, thirty years later, his eldest son had no money to buy a house when he got married, so he sold one edition; his second son got married and had no money.

Another edition sold...

Regardless of whether this is true or not, even if it is false, the water level is not very high.

Looking at the monkey tickets that had lost their value, Gu Bei felt that what was flowing out from his fingers was all real money.

The Monkey Ticket was issued in 1980, and it is now the end of 1981...

Any more?

Damn, damn!

Gu Bei punched his head hard and thought about making money all day long, but he completely forgot about it.

There are so many reborn seniors, who in the early 1980s didn’t go to great lengths to save a few more editions for family heirlooms?

As a result, he never expected it.

well……

Missed it.

If you had worn it a few years earlier, you would be sure to get all of the peerless treasures such as "big piece of red", "small piece of red", and even "Qing Post", let alone monkey tickets.

This investment can be called a huge profit. The only disadvantage is that the cycle is too long.

Thirty years?

If it really takes thirty years for Gu Bei to achieve financial freedom and become a master, it will be all in vain.

However, now that you are here, you have to try it no matter what.

I made up my mind to go to the post office tomorrow.

If there are jujubes or no jujubes, let's hit three poles.

This one on the envelope...

Forget it, it's already stamped and has no collection value.

Tear open the seal and take out the letter inside. There are three pieces of paper.

There is nothing much to say in the first third. I greet you first, then introduce the situation at home, and then get to the content that Gu Bei is more concerned about.

After being reborn, Gu Bei learned that his aunt was in Guangzhou, so he sent a letter asking about policies there.

Although I was born in the 1980s in my previous life, by the time I graduated from college, it was already the new century.

I also read a lot of things in the early 1980s online, so I have only a limited understanding of them.

The letter said that some people have set up small workshops in Guangzhou, and some people are buying goods from Xiangjiang to sell them.

Public offices and establishments are no longer very popular there, everyone is busy doing business.

Gu Bei saw it with hot eyes, but it was a pity that he had a formal job now, otherwise, he would have to go to the south to buy a batch of trendy clothes and sell them.

Snap!

The door opened and Li Sufen walked in.

"Did you receive a letter from your aunt?"

Don't knock on the door.

Gu Bei could only protest in his heart, and then handed over the letter he had read.

"Well! My aunt gave birth to a boy."

"Really!"

Li Sufen quickly took it.

"I'm counting the days, it's almost time, damn girl, I didn't know I would have received a letter earlier."

The more I watch, the happier I am. In fact, Li Sufen and Li Suhua are not biological sisters, but cousins. They are 20 years apart in age. Li Suhua's parents died early, so she was raised by Gu Bei's grandpa. When her grandma and grandpa passed away, it was Li Sufen again.

Alas, the dowry for the wedding was prepared by Li Sufen.

But looking behind him, his original joyful expression gradually faded away, and his brows were furrowed.

"Why is your aunt telling you this?"

Gu Bei didn't dare to say that he asked it himself, so he quickly said, "I don't know, but mom, from what my aunt wrote in her letter, the policies in the south are indeed much looser."

Not only was the South, at the forefront of reform, gradually loosening its policies, but the North was also gradually undergoing changes.

For example, Ma San'er used to go to Shichahai to set up a cigarette stall, but he was under joint defense every day, and the People's Insurance Company chased him like a dog. Now no one cares about him.

As long as you have a certificate issued by the neighborhood committee and a business license for individual industrial and commercial households, it will be enough if you do not disturb social order, do not occupy roads in violation of regulations, and do not damage environmental sanitation.

After all, there are so many educated youths returning to the city now, plus college, technical secondary school, and high school graduates, one after another, that it is simply unrealistic for everyone to have a formal job.

In the face of employment pressure, the higher authorities now not only turn a blind eye, but also begin to encourage unemployed young people to make a living on their own, which is, in later generations, to start their own businesses.

As long as it can solve survival problems without breaking the law or committing any crime, it is basically encouraged.

"Is this what you should worry about?"

Li Sufen said nothing, turned around and went out, taking the letter away at the same time.

have to!

As soon as Gu Bei made a tentative sentence, Li Sufen's attitude was already very clear.

Work hard and don't think about evil things, even if you just say it.

After dinner, Gu Bei locked himself in the east wing and continued to prepare for his first pot of gold. The seal had already been engraved, and all that was left was to find the old Lingzi. Once he had the right thing, the rest would be right.

It's not difficult for Gu Bei.

"Are you there?"

Someone spoke outside the door, and Gu Bei quickly put away the painting and seal.

When he opened the door, he saw Ji Peijie standing at the door with a book in his hand.

"Didn't you watch TV?"

"It's boring!"

Ji Peijie walked around Gu Bei and walked in. After sitting down, his big eyes were still darting around.

"Give!"
