Xiao Yuechen's birth brought a lot of joy to the two families. His parents were the eldest sons of both families, and he became the eldest grandson of both families. He was doted on by both families.
Because he was cute, polite, and had a sweet mouth, he was also known as a child prodigy. Naturally, he could be presented.
Therefore, when he was ten months old, his uncle would carry him to work one day, and he would go to his aunt's office the next day. He would either stay at home to make his grandparents happy or rarely see his parents except at night.
In the blink of an eye, it was October 1981. Xiao Yuechen began to think about the information from his previous life. What kind of project could he invest in to make money at his young age?
Electronic payment?
Film investment?
Online games?
Future stocks?
Sharing economy?
Social media?
Portal?
Antique collection?
Real estate?
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yuechen gave up on all these.
It couldn't be helped. It was only 1981, and most projects would take another 20 to 30 years to take off. Even if real estate and antique collection could be done now, he didn't have the capital. Besides, who would do business with a one-year-old child?
However, Xiao Yuechen quickly recalled that the high-quality stamps, food stamps, and Grandpa Mao's badge were all very popular in the future. They were often worth hundreds of thousands or even millions.
Grandpa Mao's badge had stopped being distributed and was now in the hands of the common people. The food stamps would not be invalid until 1993. If he wanted to get those things, he could only earn enough money to buy them in the future.
Stamps, on the other hand, were different. Stamps like the Dragon, Blue Army, Red Stamp, All the Mountains and Rivers in Red, Black Words, Wen 5, Peking opera masks, and Total Victory were very valuable in the future. Although they could not get their hands on them now, the monkey stamps issued in February 1980 were not a problem!
Even though it was already 1981, Xiao Yuechen remembered that after the Monkey Stamp was released, the sales were not fast. Some post offices even gave their employees a mandatory task to sell the tickets.
Moreover, the 80th edition of the monkey tickets had been distributed in five million copies. He estimated that he could still buy them now.
The next day, Xiao Yuechen coaxed her grandfather to take her to the post office.
As expected, when he saw that there were still 25 sets of 80 full-page monkey tickets on the counter of the post office, he was instantly excited.
One had to know that a set of 80 monkey tickets was only 6.4 yuan, but in the future, it was worth more than one million Chinese dollars!
How much were those 25 sets worth? As long as one wasn't a fool, they would be able to calculate this score!
After returning home, Xiao Yuechen began to think about how she could get 160 Chinese dollars to buy a monkey ticket.
After all, this was three and a half months of his father's salary!
Moreover, he was so young. Even if he had the reputation of a prodigy, if he asked his family for 160 yuan to buy stamps, it would definitely be impossible.
After pondering for a long time, Xiao Yuechen finally came up with a solution.
In 1981, the Chinese Academy of Sciences had just approved the restoration of the H River port (due to the need of the plot, it was one year earlier than the actual time). Although trade had not yet begun, there were already a small number of business and political figures from the Goose Kingdom who came here to exchange and barter. There were very few people who spent money to buy goods.
In his previous life, he had heard that in the late 1980s, there were people from River H who could exchange a box of 100 bubble gum for a woolen coat from the Russians!
After all, the light industry of the Russians was very backward, and they liked chewing gum and bubble gum very much, so this was true.
The problem was, it was only 1981. Was it easier to do such a thing?
Most importantly, at the beginning of 1981, a certain American manufacturer had just imported bubble gum from Shanghai, Yanjing, and Guangzhou.
Coincidentally, his father had gone to Guangzhou for a business trip not long ago. When he saw something as novel as bubble gum, he naturally wanted to bring some back for his genius son, Xiao Yuechen.
Because of this, his mother complained to his father," Can this be given to a one-year-old child? What if you choke?"
His father replied proudly,"My son is a genius. How can other children compare to him?!"”
Therefore, two boxes of 200-yuan bubble gum were lying quietly in Xiao Yuechen's snack box.
After making up his mind, Xiao Yuechen begged his uncle, who was resting, to take him to the customs port the next morning.
His uncle was called Xiao Yuan, and his little father was ten years old. She was honest and steady. After graduating from high school at the age of 18, her grandfather retired and took over the job at a photo studio. Hence, she did not enter university. She treated Xiao Yuechen very well.
She remembered that in her previous life, her uncle often sent Xiao Yuechen to kindergarten. Back then, her uncle had only worked for a few years and his monthly salary was only a few dozen yuan.
However, every time he saw Xiao Yuechen drooling over the fruits in the state-owned store, his uncle would still buy them for him.
Ever since Xiao Yuechen's father passed away, he had always treated his youngest uncle like his own father.
Zhao Ying was a straightforward woman, a typical Northeastern girl. She had not met her uncle yet. After they got married in 1988, she gave birth to a younger brother for Xiao Yuechen. His name was Xiao Yang.
When he heard that Xiao Yuechen wanted to go to the customs port to play, although he did not understand why his nephew was interested in that place, his uncle still agreed readily.
Thus, Xiao Yuechen put the two boxes of bubble gum into her small bag and put on a warm cotton jacket and trousers. She put on a small cotton hat and a big scarf and let her uncle carry her out of the house.
His house was not far from the customs port, only about three kilometers away. The uncle and nephew chatted as they walked. Although the weather in River H had turned cold, Xiao Yuechen was still very happy.
Twenty minutes later, the uncle and nephew arrived at the customs port. The customs at River H was open two days a week. Fortunately, today was the opening day.
Looking at the dozens of tall Russians dressed like polar bears, the people of River H, who rarely saw the Russians, liked to watch from afar.
Of course, a small number of people from River H who were financially savvy had already started to communicate with the Russians in groups of two or three. They were using the half-baked goose language to communicate and trade items.
"Nephew, what's the point of looking at these Russians?" asked Little Uncle after a while.”
"Why do you like to come here to play?”
Xiao Yuechen sneakily took out a few pieces of bubble gum from her small bag and smiled.
"Uncle, I think the Russians are exchanging things with us. It's almost the New Year. I want to change a few new woolen coats for Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandma for the New Year.”
Hearing this, Little Uncle was stunned.
He did not expect Xiao Yuechen, a one-year-old child, to know how to be filial to her elders. He was overjoyed.
He smiled." You're such a sensible kid. You're really a good kid."”
"But what do you plan to exchange for it? Are you going to use the bubble gum in your hand?”
Xiao Yuechen giggled.”
"I heard from dad that this bubble gum is an American product that has just been listed in China. Grandpa also said that the light industry of the Russians is very backward. Only the quality of the woolen coats is better than that of China. I think they will like this thing.”
"Uncle, why don't you help me try?”
Seeing that Xiao Yuechen was acting coquettishly, coupled with his filial piety, Little Uncle smiled and took the bubble gum.
"Alright, I'll help you try. Fortunately, I learned the goose language in high school for a few years. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to communicate with you. But I'm not sure if it will work."
After saying that, Little Uncle put Xiao Yuechen down and walked over to an old Russian not far away. He started chatting and gesturing.
