King of Technology: A Fresh Start in 1983

He Fan was now fully awake.

He grinned and came closer again.

Zhan Yiling immediately pushed him away: "No, you're too tired today."

Why are you making such a fuss?

He Fan reached out and pulled her into his arms. "One minute you're saying you're not safe, the next you're saying I'm too tired to do anything... Who told you all this nonsense?"

"It's all your fault! It was in the book you gave me that you said it!"

"There's so much more in the book, you can't remember anything else, so why do you remember this one?"

He Fan pouted, stood up angrily, and started packing his things.

He first took out a bag of ID cards and handed it to Zhan Yiling: "Returning them intact, you can give them back to Gao Jianmin now. Do you want to check them first?"

"Ah, it really is fate helping me. On the first day of buying the subscription forms, I used all the ID cards you got."

"At the time, I was just thinking that since I had more than Zhang Wei, I would use the larger batch first. I didn't expect it to work out so well by accident."

"If it had been the other way around, and we had used Zhang Wei's batch when buying the subscription forms first, and then used your batch when buying the vouchers, we would have been in big trouble."

"Because I need to use them to exchange for real subscription forms next month..."

"Having delayed returning the ID card for over a month, I'm afraid I really won't be able to explain this to Gao Jianmin, don't you think?"

"Don't even mention a month, if it drags on for even a week, he'll definitely start to suspect us."

Zhan Yiling then asked, "By the way, will it cause any trouble if we delay returning those ID cards Zhang Wei obtained until next month?"

He Fan said, "There's no problem with his stuff. Anyway, if he returns it, it'll just be held by the boss, which is the same as holding it here with me."

Zhan Yiling examined the ID cards in her hand, then worriedly asked, "These ID cards have all been used to open accounts at the Pengjiao Exchange. Will this have any impact on these people in the future?"

"It doesn't have much of an impact, oh right, but I can't say it has absolutely no impact."

He Fan paused for a moment, then said, "It means that one day in the future, if they want to buy stocks on the Pengjiao Exchange, they will find that they have already opened an account."

"Ah?! What should we do?" Zhan Yiling asked nervously.

"It's okay. Open an account using their identities, sell the shares once the new stock is listed, and then immediately transfer the money out. The account will be empty."

"Once it's not used for a long time, it will be dormant. When they want to buy Pengjiao shares in the future, they can just open a new account."

Seeing that Zhan Yiling was clearly a little worried, He Fan didn't want to explain any further.

Because if the owner of the ID card wants to investigate further, they can indeed find out that these ID cards have been used to open accounts.

We can explain when they ask...

He Fan suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and took out the Pengcheng ID card from his wallet and handed it to Zhan Yiling.

"I almost forgot. Actually, it wasn't a problem if we didn't use it back then. If it really didn't work out, we wouldn't go into the interior of the city. There were outlets outside the city that sold subscription forms."

"However, if I can't get into the city center this time, I won't be able to see the bustling scene on Shennan Middle Road, and I might miss the opportunity to buy vouchers the next day."

"Aren't you going to Shenzhen next month? If you return this ID card, how are you going to get in?"

"Don't worry! I've figured it out. Once I get there, I can just use my Beijing ID card and pay someone to get me a border pass. That's what people outside the Great Wall do."

Zhan Yiling praised, "Wow, as expected of a special economic zone, they're quick-witted and have a lot of tricks up their sleeves."

"As long as there is market demand, and as long as people are willing to spend money, there are solutions."

At this point, He Fan couldn't help but pull out a stack of shareholder code cards to show off, "Look, this is the second pot of gold I've luckily and painstakingly earned!"

"I'll sell them after the newly listed shares have multiplied several times over, then I'll be rich!"

"Your second pot of gold? What was your first pot of gold?"

"You forgot? It's the 100th edition of the Monkey stamps I bought when I was in high school in 80!"

Zhan Yiling asked, "Those monkey stamps have been around for over ten years. They must have made a lot of money by now, right?"

"At that time, each piece cost 0.08 yuan, and a set of 64 pieces cost a total of 5.12 yuan."

He Fan laughed and said, "This year, a single coin is worth a few hundred yuan, and a whole sheet is worth over 60,000 yuan. Do you think you can make a profit from 100 sheets?"

"Wow, He Fan!"

As Zhan Yiling spoke, she parted He Fan's hair to examine him closely.

"How did you get such a brain? You only spent a little over 500 yuan back then, and you've made millions in twelve years."

"Making money while lying down is much easier than buying stocks or anything like that."

He Fan chuckled: "Heh! When luck comes, you can't stop it."

"Actually, I'm not the only one who made a lot of money from monkey stamps like me."

"The problem is that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The monkey stamps issued before the Spring Festival this year sold out on the same day, but their value hasn't increased much since then."

Zhan Yiling asked curiously, "Back in 80, why did you suddenly decide to buy so many monkey stamps?"

"It was just a lucky accident," He Fan said, keeping everyone in suspense. "During the Spring Festival of 80, I went with my parents to the home of my uncle and aunt who worked at the Beijing Stamp Factory."

"They knew I loved stamp collecting since I was a child, so they gave me a block of four monkey stamps with the edition name and several single monkey stamps."

"That was the first zodiac stamp issued by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. More than four million were issued, but not many people bought them."

"As a result, the task could only be assigned to employees of the postal and telecommunications system."

"To help those two uncles and aunts complete their mission, I used the money I had saved up over the years to buy 100 copies."

"I never expected that two years later, prices would start to skyrocket..."

He Fan got more and more excited as he talked.

Zhan Yiling gave a thumbs up: "Judging from the upward trend of the monkey stamp, it seems that becoming a millionaire by the age of thirty is not a dream for you, and becoming a billionaire is also possible."

He Fan chuckled and cried: "Actually, so far, I've only staked everything I have, and I haven't seen a single penny of return, including the monkey stamps."

"It's like a farmer who uses all his grain as seed to sow in the ground, leaving nothing for his own food, and still has to save up money to buy new stocks next month..."

"If you sell those monkey stamps, you'll have cash on hand immediately, right?"

"If I really wanted to sell, I would have sold long ago, but prices are rising right now, so I can't sell. I have to wait for the right time to sell them all."

Zhan Yiling stroked his head: "Oh ho! Looks like you've already planned everything out?"

He Fan chuckled, "How else can we win battles from afar?"

"Yiling, do you believe it or not? After these past few days, I'm even more certain that I will definitely surpass Chen Jianghe in this lifetime!"

"I believe you!" Zhan Yiling nodded firmly, looking at him with a smile.

She loved seeing He Fan so confident.

"I think Chen Jianghe and Su Gong and their group are more suited to stay in the research institute."

He Fan continued, "In this era, it's not enough to just understand technology! You also need to understand human nature!"
