Chapter 50
Chapter 50 printing
The four people took a day to check the handwriting and basically listed the pros and cons. There are more than a dozen uncertain names left. Yang Rui plans to stay in the reserve team for observation.
At this point, the preparatory work was basically completed, and Yang Rui took the manuscript of the first volume of New Concept English and went straight down the mountain to find his cousin.
In the 1980s, the profit of printing books was very high, especially the profit of pirated books was higher, often more than 50% of the cost, and there were 200% examples.
It’s also a new concept English. Several domestic publishing houses print without authorization. The money earned not only allows employees to spend several fat years, but also builds new office buildings, replaces brand new equipment, and removes them. The extremely high administrative cost, and the profit is still in the tens of millions.
Yang Rui didn’t want to be able to compare with these large publishing houses. He just matched the one-third acre of land near Xi County. Considering the fate of senior pirates such as Huo Laosi, Yang Rui chose Shi Gui as his own. The middleman, all the work of dealing with the outside world is entrusted to him.
Although Shi Gui was also a smart man, he was not as far away as Yang Rui thought. On the contrary, he was delighted, hoping that he would be able to keep a personal touch after he got in touch with the other party’s printing house.
The two have their own minds, but they cooperate well.
Duan Hang took Shi Gui to recognize the door, and the latter drank two drinks with the director of the Jiefang Printing Factory, and then understood the other party’s needs.
When Shi Gui came back to report, he was still dizzy, like a walnut in his mouth, and said, “The grandson wants 1,000.
“What?” Yang Rui temporarily stayed in Duan Hang’s dormitory. He was shocked when he heard this number, and asked, “Is it 1,000 yuan?”
“Yes. Black, right?” Shi Gui heard this number on the wine table and drank two full glasses of wine in shock.
To say more, 1,000 yuan is not much. The profit of the Ruixue group for half a month is nothing more than one-fifth of the profit of the first volume of New Concept English that Yang Rui estimated, which is replaced by the salary of the factory director, which is one year Two more years of salary.
However, the prices of products in different eras are different, and so is bribery. In 1982, there were few officials who took the initiative to ask for bribes, but the number was very small. What people call the back door is usually to bring two bottles of alcohol and two cigarettes. The price ranges from a few dozen yuan to dozens of yuan.
According to the best standards, two bottles of Maotai and two Chinese are also not up to the standard of one hundred yuan. It is nothing more than rare things that are more expensive, and it is more difficult to find a ticket.
On the other hand, in Chinese society where even the commodity economy has not even started, people don’t have much living money in their hands. If 1,000 yuan is used for a wedding, or a two-month trip to the mainland of the motherland, there is no problem at all.
Before the businessmen began to smash the renminbi to corrupt the party’s cadres, the owner who dared to ask for 1,000 yuan was too far from Yang Rui’s expectations.
“Give it?” Shi Gui had weak expectations. He couldn’t afford such an expensive thread, and only Yang Rui could try it.
Yang Rui smiled bitterly and said, “Even if I am willing to give it, I dare not give it.”
Shi Gui was puzzled: “Why?”
Yang Rui shook his head: “This guy is too courageous, and something will happen sooner or later. Such a large amount of bribery will definitely lead us out, and it will be troublesome then.”
The crackdown ended in 87 years. In other words, any criminal behavior before then is high-risk. Although bribery is not considered a felony, when the judiciary has to use criminals to charge up the number, it is not clear that the felony is not a felony.
If it was tens or hundreds of yuan in cash, Yang Rui didn’t think it would be dangerous, maybe the other party would have forgotten it. But it’s a bit difficult to forget about 1,000 yuan in bribes.
Shi Gui was also scared and sighed.
“Jiefang Printing Factory is so popular?” Yang Rui couldn’t believe it.
“What’s the fire? The machines are older than the factory manager, and the tasks given above often fail to complete. The factory manager runs outside all day, and the workers just go to work.”
“But it’s still a printing house.”
“Yeah, no matter how bad it is, it is also a printing house.” Shi Gui was even more disappointed than Yang Rui, because he didn’t have to take any risks. If he sold books, he would make more money than papers, and the amount would be large.
Yang Rui thought about it for a while, but still didn’t want to give up. There are so many printing houses in the province that they are hard to speak. It is difficult to have someone as straightforward as the factory director. They at least made a request.
According to Yang Rui’s thinking, his social activity ability is still inferior to Huo Lao Si. Since Old Four Huo chose this printing factory, there are reasons to choose him…
Suddenly, Yang Rui thought about it, like Huo Laosi, who is willing to pay 1,000 yuan for bribes?
Then he is too ideal.
This year, 1,000 yuan can buy 20 arms and legs.
Maybe it was Huo Laosi who caught this factory director’s handle?
Yang Rui couldn’t understand, thought for a moment, and asked, “Old Shi, this factory director wants money? Did you say what to do?”
“It seems to be prepared for his son. As for what to do, I don’t know much about it.”
“How old is your son?”
“It’s about 20 years old, he said at the time, I think about it…” Shi Gui put on a middle-aged and elderly thinking state.
Yang Rui accompanied him to guess: 1,000 yuan is not enough to study abroad, and now there are very few cross-filming or school selection fees. There are other titles, and there is no one who dares to collect 1,000 yuan…for treatment? A factory director has no other powers, and reimbursement of medical expenses is not at his fingertips… This amount of money is not more or less, which is really puzzling.
Shi Gui thought for a long time, almost simulating the action on the wine table, and suddenly patted his forehead and said, “I see, he is giving money to his son to buy a house.”
“Buy a house? Is there a house for sale now?” Yang Rui knew that he was wrong, and quickly changed his words: “Does the policy allow him to buy a house?”
“It’s not the house you bought.” Shi Gui corrected it and whispered: “It’s a cell in a prison.”
“What do you mean?”
“It seems to mean that his son is in jail, and he is often beaten in jail, so he begged someone to change the room, and then rushed to spend the money. That’s probably what he meant.” Shi Gui said with emotion, “People are in jail. But if you don’t treat you as a human being, you won’t be able to spend much money. This grandson is probably going to be squeezed out.”
“Which prison?” Yang Rui estimated that Huo Lao Si also used the same method. He is a big gangster who has entered the palace. It is also possible to find two people to cover the kid. Threat of beating.
Shi Gui shook his head: “I don’t know.”
“Are you nearby?”
“Of course it’s nearby, otherwise where can I find an acquaintance.”
Yang Rui searched his memory and said, “If it’s not a provincial prison, it would be Shaping Prison. If you can find an acquaintance, it is probably Shaping Prison.”
Provincial prisons are repeat offenders. There are more violent prisoners. On the one hand, the management is strict, and on the other hand, the level is higher. Compared with the regional prisons, it is much more difficult to find acquaintances.
Shi Gui widened his eyes and asked, “Do you have a way?”
“I’ll give it a try, you go back first.”
“Then… I’ll go back first.” Shi Gui looked helplessly, and walked away one step at a time.
Yang Rui approached his cousin Duan Hang to ask about this that night. Although the prison administration and the police are two systems, they are both in the judicial circle after all. There are always two people who know each other.
If money is used, it is safer to use it here.
In comparison, the director of the Jiefang Printing Factory is too rough. In the words of a foreigner, he might have a tendency to self-destruct, and Yang Rui didn’t want to get close to his blasting area.
Duan Hang naturally wanted to ask people too. Once he lapped, he used six bottles of wine and four cigarettes to settle the matter.
Only then did Yang Rui let Shi Gui go to the factory director again to determine the printing matters.
It was with this relationship that the other party agreed to Yang Rui’s request for a deposit of 2,000 yuan and the first printing of 10,000 copies.
However, the Jiefang Factory squeezed down 5,000 copies and would not deliver until Yang Rui paid the balance.
Yang Rui agreed without exception.
The cost of printing 10,000 copies is much lower than that of 5,000 copies. In the current domestic environment, whether students or parents, it is a must. If the cost is not kept low enough to make money, if some bold publishing houses or printing houses learn to do it, the market for Volumes 2 and 3 will be unstable.
In comparison, when he took back five thousand copies, he still had ten thousand copies, and Yang Rui didn’t care.
“This time, we have to shop from the provincial capital first…” Yang Rui still found Shi Gui alone, first explained a few words, then took out a huge box, and said: “There are 200 wallets here, for you to make. Giveaway.”
“Gifts?” Shi Gui couldn’t open the box without understanding, and it turned out that there were small palm-sized wallets inside.
The wallet is made of cloth, but there is a small zipper that surprises. Yang Rui bought it from Guangzhou through Shao Liang’s home. The wholesale price of each is 25 cents. If it is sold in the market, it is estimated to be The asking price is more than fifty cents.
Yang Rui nodded: “If someone buys ten books at a time, you give him a wallet.”
“Buy ten books and get a wallet? Is it a good deal?” Shi Gui rubbed the cloth. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com
“It’s a good deal. In addition, the price of the book is one piece and eight, which must be unified. The gift must also have a receipt.”
“The problem is, very few people buy ten books at a time.”
“You have more gifts to give away. You have to remember that you can only give you a wallet for ten books, and nine copies will not work. In addition, the wallet will not be sold for money…”
Shi Gui suddenly said: “In this case, if they want a wallet, they have to get ten people together. Some people who don’t want to buy it will be pulled over.”
“Well, at the beginning, many people may not understand New Concept English, so they have to use this method to promote sales. After they read the book, sales will be easier.” Yang Rui said more seriously and said: “This time , You have to telegraph me in time.”
“Definitely.” Shi Gui yelled, his hand touching the small purse also stopped.
