1988, the new year has arrived.

However, for the people in mainland China, their feelings in the first months of this year are not so good.

Because this year, the common people in China first felt the news shock wave of the new situation from TV news.

Train and plane accidents occurred frequently in various places, and some sad and major news began to be broadcast through television, which made the audiences in mainland China who were accustomed to only hearing good news feel extremely shocked mentally.

According to what ordinary people say privately, perhaps because this year is the Year of the Dragon, disasters such as "planes kiss, trains roll, and ships sink" occur frequently in various places.

So although television made these catastrophic events known to the Chinese people for the first time, this is actually an improvement in the way of communication.

Although in response to these accidents, units at all levels across the country took timely measures and handled them properly.

However, there are a lot of divergent opinions among the people, which are similar to metaphysics. They still cast a shadow over the upcoming Spring Festival and make people feel uneasy.

And this is not all the disaster. Just at the beginning of the year, there was an epidemic.

Especially when it happened in the most populous city in the Republic, it almost brought the entire city to a standstill, which was a serious blow to the Republic.

Fortunately, in January this year, hepatitis A actually broke out in Shanghai, and it came violently.

In just two months, 300,000 people in the city were infected, resulting in losses of at least 400 million yuan.

Even in Zhejiang, 70,000 people were infected, which can be said to have caused social panic in East China and the whole country.

An investigation later confirmed that the cause of the hepatitis A outbreak was caused by Shanghai residents consuming sewage-contaminated clams from the coast of Qidong.

Another main reason for the disease is that the urban population density in Shanghai and Hainan is too high, the urban construction is aging, and the underground sewage system is backward, which results in the rapid spread of infectious diseases after an outbreak.

In addition, since the overall policy of the Republic in 1987 was austerity, funds from the outside world rushed to places where huge asset bubbles were generated.

Therefore, for a whole year, the domestic economic development momentum was not good.

In 1987, the amount of external investment attracted was far less than we expected, and bankruptcies of state-owned enterprises occurred frequently in various places.

In fact, there are too many manufacturers that have an increasing backlog of products due to outdated products and lack of innovation capabilities, and many are on the verge of bankruptcy.

And although the workers in these factories carelessly play cards all day long, they don't worry at all. They are sure that they have an iron rice bowl, and the country will definitely not let everyone go without food.

But low income is an indisputable fact.

Since you have tightened your belt and can only live by eating porridge, you will naturally not be in a good mood.

Even if you don't have to do much work, the money is basically free and you won't be happy.

Especially when the Chinese New Year is approaching and my pocket is cleaner than my face, how can I celebrate the new year?

No matter how optimistic you are, it's hard for you to smile when faced with such a day.

It is perfectly normal to curse the director and the factory director behind his back.

Anyway, no matter how you put it, it is precisely because these bad natural and man-made disasters all happened in January, and economic conflicts were highlighted in this month, that people all over the country believed that this month was a "disaster month".

Privately, everyone silently prays that this year will not be a "disaster year".

This kind of obscure mood is probably the same as that of Mi Xiaoran who just cruelly left his own flesh and blood in the capital.

She returned home with her children this time. In fact, she did not live in the capital for too long. However, in just one week, she set out to return to the United States with guilt for her parents, endless confusion about the future, and huge financial pressure.

aircraft.

She didn't want to leave, she couldn't bear to leave her nursing child, and she felt ashamed of her parents and relatives, but it was impossible not to leave.

She wants to go to the United States to earn money, to give her children the best life, and to show the Zhao family that she, a mainland girl, is not a beggar.

She wants to prove that she can cultivate her children into talents without betraying their personality.

However, all of this can only be realized if she returns to the United States. If she stays, she can only give her children a poor life.

So she had no choice but to be temporarily separated from her child, otherwise what could she do?

As for everything she took away, except for the longing for her own flesh and blood.

In addition to the $3,000 that her parents and relatives raised for her with the money she originally sent back.

That is, Zhao Hanyu's uncle Wang Dadong promised to mediate conflicts between her and the Zhao family.

And a letter of recommendation written by Wang Dadong for her to work at KFC in the United States.

With this letter, at least she won't be without food.

It should be said that this incident made her somewhat relieved.

After all, Zhao Hanyu still has an uncle who cares about family ties and is willing to try his best to help instead of working with the Zhao family to trick her.

It seems that not all Americans are as impersonal as the Zhao family.

And she will definitely keep this kindness and help in her heart and wait until she has the opportunity to repay her in the future.

However, this is what happens in the future.

Now she doesn't think about anything but one thing. What should she do after getting off the plane?

She is helpless and has no husband who loves her to rely on.

Facing the cold world and being isolated and helpless, she had no choice but to work hard in the United States on her own.

Moreover, she must live a good life and earn a certain amount of money before the child is four years old.

This is what her life will be like in the next few years, and it is what she will work hard to achieve.

She actually didn't know whether she could do it or not, and she didn't have much confidence.

But, she had to try.

For her child, for the reunion of mother and child, she had no choice...

Of course, when someone leaves, someone comes, and when someone has a bleak future, there is someone who is high-spirited.

I have to say that in the same year of 1988, not everything was bad.

At least the homophonic pronunciation of this year is good, if according to the pronunciation of Huacheng people, it is "fafa".

For some people who are experiencing great fortune and getting more and more prosperous, this is an excellent year.

For example, Ning Weimin took his wife back to the capital to prepare for the Spring Festival. As soon as he got off the plane, Luo Guangliang and Xiaotao, who came to pick him up, learned good news.

As he expected, the postal market in Beijing was going to be booming again.

Moreover, the zodiac tickets have quietly increased in front.

In the current market, a single golden monkey is worth 300 yuan, a single chicken is worth 120 yuan, a single piece of dog is worth 75 yuan, and a single piece of pig is worth 300 yuan.

Then there is the mouse and the ox, which have become eight-five-dollar and eight-dollar versions.

Tiger and Rabbit have also returned to par value.

Even the "Panda" that everyone despises has begun to be purchased, and the price is about to rise. It is estimated that it will not take long to regain 40% to 50% of the face value.

For them, it is also a 40-50% profit.

The best thing is that the Japanese zodiac tickets that Ning Weimin got back to China through international mail actually sold very well.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m out of curiosity, or because someone is following me and wants to collect chips to become the banker.

Anyway, almost all of the thousand copies of Japanese tigers and Japanese rabbits that Ning Weimin bought from Japan at a reasonable price were sold, and they also made at least double the profit from them.

This undoubtedly proves an obvious truth.

Sometimes you want to make money from stamps, but you really don’t have to care too much about how much these stamps have increased compared to their face value.

Because as long as the cost of chips is low enough and collected at a cheap enough price, you can still make a lot of money.

Ning Weimin was as happy as Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao about this.

Even though his current net worth is already in the hundreds of millions, it stands to reason that he can earn hundreds of thousands every minute, so he shouldn't take this amount of money seriously anymore.

But the problem is that most of his wealth is overseas, and he uses the money to cut leeks around the world.

If he really wanted to bring it into the country, it would be neither cost-effective nor convenient, and it might cause him extra trouble.

After all, in terms of domestic ideology, it is difficult to accept the emergence of a home-grown billionaire.

So he should hide it a little bit.

He mainly relies on three things to ensure his own safety in the country.

On the one hand, they try to hide their domestic wealth in works of art to make it less eye-catching.

On the one hand, he relied on Pierre Cardon's comprador status to cover his extra income from the clothing and art industries, which allowed people to regard his private property as belonging to Pierre Cardon Company.

The last one is also thanks to Matsumoto Keiko, a Japanese wife, who made it easier for him to avoid a lot of trouble by using the excuse of eating soft food and making movies.

But then again, even if he did this, no one could blame him.

Because in addition to silently making a fortune, after all, he also did a lot of charity things in the capital, and they were sustainable.

For example, donating repatriated cultural relics, investing in Chen Peisi's films, providing money to open a chain of book clubs for young people, hiring experts to compile cultural materials on palace food, and making documentaries for old craftsmen to support the development of the art industry, trying to save some of the lost craftsmen.

folk industries and traditional skills, as well as cooperation with agricultural universities to develop local crops and livestock varieties with economic value.

All of this requires a lot of money to support, so what if he doesn't think of ways to make money?

Even if he was involved in postal market speculation, he was taking money from the people and using it for the people.
