Chapter 73 Monkey Stamps That Will Be Valuable in the Future
Qin Zeming thought about it and soon relaxed his frown.
Gu Qingshi was hurt so deeply by him, he needed to spend more time and effort to make Gu Qingshi believe that she would open her heart to him. After all, she had liked him for three years.
Qin Zeming did not continue to force Gu Qingshi to disturb her business.
He waited for her.
After reading the diary, Qin Zeming seemed to see how the little person Gu Qingshi grew up. He felt distressed, but also felt that he finally understood Gu Qingshi.
But he didn't know that the diary only recorded less than half of Gu Qingshi's life experiences. The suffering he saw was just an appetizer for her lifelong sufferings. The real sufferings were yet to come, in the days when she would no longer have the chance to record them.
Life is hard, but I can still write a diary, which is actually not bad. True despair cannot be written down or recorded.
Gu Qingshi was no longer the person that Qin Zeming consciously understood, but Qin Zeming didn't understand.
Gu Qingshi didn't take Qin Zeming's words to heart. After finishing the lunch break, Gu Qingshi and Bai Xue went to the department store when no one was around.
She wanted to buy the vanishing cream that she didn't get last time. This time the same salesperson was there, but there was also another older sister.
This sister had a better attitude, so Gu Qingshi bought it without hesitation.
The salesperson still remembered Gu Qingshi. When he saw her coming, he sneered and didn't even stand up. He pretended not to see her and told another salesperson that she wouldn't buy it.
As a result, Gu Qingshi bought it right away without saying anything more. He was too straightforward, and he bought not just one, but several.
Most people would buy one portion, but Gu Qingshi bought several types at once, and the whole process was completed in less than three minutes, which surprised the sister so much that she asked Gu Qingshi to come again, and also made the salesperson very angry.
Gu Qingshi shrugged at her angry expression, and greeted her with a smile when he passed by her, "See? I keep my word."
Gu Qingshi bought so many mainly to make a comparison.
After these days of hard work, Gu Qingshi finally found a moisturizer in the space.
So far, only one type has been successful, which uses pear blossoms. The finished product has a faint scent of pear blossoms, which is very elegant and pleasant to the touch.
Gu Qingshi applied it himself and felt very good. It had a good moisturizing effect and, as expected, it also had a whitening effect. He felt very good about it.
But Gu Qingshi didn’t have much chance to use other face creams in her previous life, so she wanted to compare and see how it felt compared to these brands.
Through comparison, she can find a better market positioning for herself and know where she needs to improve.
The weather is getting colder and the skin is starting to dry out. Winter is coming after late autumn, so she has to perfect it early, put it into mass production and put it on the market so as not to miss the opportunity.
On the way back to Gu's Kitchen after buying it, Gu Qingshi and Bai Xue met an uncle with a sad face at the door of the post office.
He held something in his hand and asked passers-by if they wanted to buy one. Gu Qingshi paused and looked at it, "Stamps?"
"Yes, do you want to buy it? I heard that some people come here to sell stamps specifically for this purpose. Little girl, do you want to buy it?"
Gu Qingshi took a look and found that it was a zodiac stamp, or a monkey?
When people in later generations mentioned the collectible value of stamps, many people would think of the Monkey Stamp, and Gu Qingshi had also heard of it.
Gu Qingshi looked carefully and found that they all matched, and the second edition has not come out yet, so this might really be the monkey stamp that many people have heard of.
"You want to sell it?"
"Yes, I heard from the young men in our village that some people like this stamp and spend money to buy it. I came here to exchange it because I need money urgently. It only costs fifteen yuan."
"Fifteen dollars!" Bai Xue was shocked. "Why don't you go and grab them? These stamps are only sold for eight cents each, and your stamps are only six dollars and forty cents in total. The price is three times higher."
The uncle wiped his sweat and said, "Someone bought it for this price before, saying that the monkey is good-looking."
Bai Xue wanted to refute, but Gu Qingshi held her back and asked, "How much do you have now?"
"Just these two versions, and some scattered ones, I brought them all." The uncle saw that Gu Qingshi was interested, so he hurriedly took them out.
Gu Qingshi checked them all and found no problem. "How are the scattered ones sold? We want them all."
Bai Xue became anxious when she heard this and tugged at Gu Qingshi's clothes.
The uncle was delighted. "There are only about thirty scattered tickets, which are left over from previous use. If you want them all, I won't add any more money. I'll just charge you three dollars. Take them if you want."
These stamps were bought to support a relative who works at the post office and has a mission. I bought them thinking that my family would always need to send letters, so the scattered stamps are the leftovers.
"Okay." Gu Qingshi held Bai Xue's hand to comfort her, "Xiaoxue, you also want a board. I want the scattered ones."
As expected, the prices of these things will increase. Gu Qingshi didn't know much about collecting, she just knew that the prices would increase in the future. Since she had encountered them, she naturally couldn't miss it. Since Bai Xue was with her, she took her with her.
Bai Xue was anxious when she heard this. "Sister, if you want stamps, go in and buy them. They're only eight cents each, much cheaper than this."
"No, this monkey is different. Xiaoxue, listen to me first." Gu Qingshi said seriously, "Do you believe me?"
Bai Xue naturally believed in Gu Qingshi. What Gu Qingshi had done during this period made Bai Xue clearly see how powerful she was. She also knew that Gu Qingshi would not harm her.
Although I don’t know the reason, it may be for her own good, so maybe there is something magical about this stamp.
Bai Xue thought about it and decided to take out all the money she had and buy it together with Gu Qingshi. The uncle was so happy that he kept saying thank you.
An old man who was basking in the sun nearby looked at her and shook his head, then said directly to Bai Xue, "Little girl, you've been fooled. I think your sister and this guy have colluded to deceive you."
"My sister wouldn't lie to me." Bai Xue was actually unsure in her heart. After all, the money she just took out was the money she had earned during this period of time, but it did not affect her rebuttal.
"That's because you don't know how treacherous people are. This guy came here yesterday and stood here for most of the day but no one bought anything. Finally someone asked, but left as soon as he heard the price. Only you two fools bought it."
The uncle was very angry about his meddling, and was afraid that Gu Qingshi and the others would go back on their word, so he said a few words and ran away, saying that he did not lie.
Gu Qingshi looked at the old man and shook his head, "It's okay, you will understand later."
At this time, the price has not really been hyped up, and only some people who like collecting will buy it. The uncle just didn't come across it, so Gu Qingshi and others just picked it up. It won't be long before the price will go up.
Bai Xue nodded in agreement and stood beside Gu Qingshi. After he walked away, she asked anxiously, "Sister, what's on this stamp?"
"I also heard from someone that this stamp will be valuable in the future, so we should treat it as an investment. Xiaoxue, if you hear that the price has increased in the future, don't rush to sell it. Wait until it is more valuable in the future."
Gu Qingshi patted her shoulder and said, "If you listen to me, I will give you a dowry."
Bai Xue saw that she actually brought up the topic of dowry, and wondered how much a stamp could be worth. Even if the price increased a little, it would not be a good dowry. But she did not refute, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
At worst, I can just send a letter later.
"Well, if you encounter something like this again in the future, remember to tell me and we can buy it again when we have a chance." Gu Qingshi nodded and did not forget to remind him.
Bai Xue: “.” Still buying it?
She nodded with some difficulty, "Then I'll tell you if I see it again."
