Chapter 552

Su Xinghui shook his head, "That's not the case. If it's the kind of stamp issued in the nineties, the circulation is huge, so it naturally has no value to buy. You still have to choose the kind of stamps with low circulation and more value. The more such stamps encounter this kind of good market trend, the greater the room for price increases. I estimate that an increase of five or six times wouldn't be strange."

Chu Zheng said hesitantly, "Do we really have to buy stamps with everything? What if we lose money?"

His words made Yu Ruizhi somewhat unhappy, "I say Chu Little Five, aren't you usually quite straightforward? Why are you being so wishy-washy today? Let me tell you, Xinghui will absolutely not harm you. If you don't listen to him, just wait and regret it! Xinghui, I'll listen to you. I'll also take a few million and invest it in the stamp market. If I make money, I'll split it half and half with you!"

Su Xinghui smiled slightly, "Brother Yu, that won't do. I didn't put up any capital, so how can I share the money with you? I have my own ways to make a fortune; I'm not planning to enter the stamp market this time."

Chu Zheng and Han Xiangdong looked at each other again. They made up their minds, mainly because Yu Ruizhi's words made them feel a bit embarrassed, as if they were cowardly. Chu Zheng said, "Fine, we'll listen to you and speculate on this wave of stamp market trends. But we don't know which stamps are good; you have to tell us."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Fine, I'll list a list for you right now. You just buy according to my list. The higher the value of the stamp, the higher I'll rank it; try your best to buy those with high value."

There were paper and pens prepared in this room, so Su Xinghui took them and started listing the items.

Su Xinghui was more than familiar with which stamps had high value. He didn't know how many he had bought from Hou Dali, and Hou Dali didn't know how many of the tricks inside these stamps he had told him. He was extremely fluent and listed a list of dozens of stamps in a short while.

On this list, items such as "The Whole Country is Red," the Monkey Stamp, the Mei Lanfang Stage Art miniature sheet, Wenge stamps, etc., were all prominently listed, and it was marked after these types to buy as many as possible.

Su Xinghui handed the list to Chu Zheng, "Brother Little Five, Brother Monkey, just buy according to this list. However, you must find someone who knows the business to help you check them; don't buy fakes."

Chu Zheng said proudly, "Whoever dares to cheat me, Fifth Master Chu, I'll make them regret why they were born!"

Han Xiangdong said, "I do have a buddy who plays with stamps; I'll have him help me check them when the time comes."

Su Xinghui said, "If you buy stamps according to my list and the price drops after the New Year, I'll buy them all from you at your purchase price. I absolutely won't let you lose money!"

The stamps he listed all had huge potential for appreciation, and because the stamp market was currently in a slump, the prices were all very low. If the price dropped, it would only be temporary. If he bought them at the purchase price, he would definitely make money in the future, so he was very confident in his heart.

However, his words made Chu Zheng blush a little, "I say Xinghui, isn't saying that slapping your Brother Little Five in the face? Don't worry, even if I lose, I'll bear it myself. How can I let you bear it?"

Han Xiangdong also said, "Yeah, if we lose, it's none of your business. If we make money, you'll have a share."

Su Xinghui also felt a great liking for these two; they were also two straightforward people! He nodded and smiled, "Fine, but if you make money, it's your own; it has nothing to do with me. I'm a state cadre; I can't just take other people's money."

Chu Zheng sighed, "Yeah, state cadres have too many rules; you can't do this, you can't do that. The old man also pulls my ears every day to lecture me; otherwise, why would I be on unpaid leave?"

Yu Ruizhi said, "Xinghui, you write a copy of this list for me later too. I'll also get a few million in funds to speculate on a batch. If it can really double or triple as you said, I can make a good profit and invest it in the tourist scenic area."

Chu Zheng laughed, "Erzi, your heart is full of your tourist scenic area!"

Yu Ruizhi said, "Xinghui said that in the future, this tourist scenic area will be a hen that lays golden eggs. Of course, I want to fatten it up early so it can lay eggs sooner."

Hearing Yu Ruizhi's words, the few burst into laughter.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, that buddy of Yu Ruizhi who worked at the State Planning Commission also arrived. This person's name was Geng Bo, and he was the deputy division chief of the Economic Structure Division of the Development Planning Department of the Planning Commission. He was also a descendant of a prominent family, but his family's old man had passed away a few years ago, so his family was relatively low-key now.

Geng Bo himself was also very low-key. When he came, he rode a bicycle. Fortunately, the State Planning Commission was not far from here; otherwise, they would have had to wait for a while.

Geng Bo was in his early thirties, wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, wore a Zhongshan suit, and his leather shoes were also the kind of old-fashioned big-headed leather shoes, making him look older than his actual age.

As soon as Geng Bo arrived, Yu Ruizhi laughed, "Division Chief Geng, you really have the image of a leading cadre!"

Geng Bo seriously moved his bicycle in from the threshold of the main gate and parked it against the wall, saying, "You think everyone is as unmotivated as you guys?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zheng and Han Xiangdong burst into laughter. As soon as Geng Bo came in, Chu Zheng took the glasses off Geng Bo's nose and said, "Alright, stop pretending to be an intellectual; you're not nearsighted."

Geng Bo didn't take offense to Chu Zheng's actions. He sat down casually, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Working at the Planning Commission requires a more mature image. Wearing black-rimmed glasses makes one look more mature."

Yu Ruizhi introduced Geng Bo and Su Xinghui to each other's identities, then ordered Manager Wang to serve the dishes. He also called Yu Ruoqiu to ask when they would be back for dinner. Unexpectedly, Yu Ruoqiu said they wouldn't be back for dinner and would eat something outside before returning, telling them to go ahead and mess around.

In a short while, Manager Wang served the dishes. Yu Ruizhi asked her to serve a case of twenty-year-aged Pengwan Daqu first. Manager Wang was a bit surprised; a case of Pengwan Daqu had six bottles, and there were only five of them. Could they drink it all? However, she didn't say anything and served a case of liquor.

Chu Zheng asked, "Xinghui, how shall we drink? Drink cup by cup or chug bottle by bottle?"

Su Xinghui smiled slightly, "Let's just drink cup by cup."

Su Xinghui's words made Chu Zheng breathe a sigh of relief. Hearing Su Xinghui's tone, it wasn't aggressive, so his drinking capacity shouldn't be as miraculous as Yu Ruizhi said.

Actually, even if he won the bet today, he intended to help Su Xinghui run the project. However, wouldn't he also have face if he could win this bet?

At the moment, Su Xinghui and Chu Zheng each took a one-liang cup, while the other three used small five-qian cups.

Geng Bo became interested, "What? You two are going to bet on drinking?"

Chu Zheng nodded, "Yes, I'm going to bet on drinking with him."

Geng Bo said, "There's actually someone who dares to bet on drinking with you? What are you betting on?"

Han Xiangdong stated the content and stakes of the two's bet. Upon hearing this, Geng Bo nodded, "Then count me in too. I'll participate; I bet on Little Five to win."

This group had all seen that Chu Zheng could drink, but none of them had seen Su Xinghui drink. Naturally, they would all bet on Chu Zheng to win.

Yu Ruizhi nodded and smiled, "Fine."

Su Xinghui poured liquor into his and Chu Zheng's cups unhurriedly, while the other three did their own thing. Su Xinghui picked up his wine cup, took a sip, drank it all in one gulp, and showed the bottom of the cup to Chu Zheng. Chu Zheng naturally wouldn't show weakness and also drank that cup of liquor in one gulp.

Su Xinghui ate a piece of stir-fried double crisp and said to Chu Zheng, "Brother Little Five, eat quickly. This must be eaten while hot, or it will get old."
