What does the word "cow" mean?

Scalpers are commonly known as scalpers. The jargon of scalpers in Beijing is patchwork, and Shanghainese call it scalpers. In recent years, Shanghai dialect is also called "piling mildew", and there is a more vivid metaphor to call this kind of people "ticket bugs".

The scalper party originated from the food stamps issued by the government in the last century, and some people sold them. At that time, it was not called ox, but ox. Later, they also sold train tickets, scenic tourist tickets, concert tickets, movie tickets, hospital registration forms and so on. Its origin may lie in describing the scene of a group of people snapping up materials or tickets in the underground economy, just like scalpers, which are now collectively called scalpers.

Extended data:

Cattle are mostly local thugs and amateurs. On the one hand, they use various interests to buy a large number of tickets; On the other hand, they sell a lot of tickets at high prices. More tragically, some scalpers cry for various reasons because they are forced to go to the cinema. Cattle tend to gather in large numbers.

Monopoly of ticket sources and illegal means to crowd out competitors often lead to group fights and fights. Resulting in many security problems. Every year, due to the existence of scalpers, migrant workers who can't go home have to buy expensive tickets with their hard-earned money. Western journalists estimate that in 2005, nearly1000000 migrant workers and their families in China could not return home because of scalpers.
