Chapter 55
Chapter 55 sold out
Pingjiang is a flat city. The vast plains give it almost unlimited development space. The city’s buildings expand in all directions, so that the city center is quite sparse.
The wind in the city is very strong. No matter where you stand at the intersection, you can feel the wind surging, as if standing in a wave of air. Those who do not obey the traffic rules and the pedestrians who do not obey the traffic rules, like It’s like a rampage of rolled up sand and rocks.
Yang Rui got off the round-head commuter car and felt the chaotic wind and saw the chaotic streets. The tricycle soliciting passengers and the trucks soliciting goods were blocked in front of the bus station, pulling people passing by to bid for the price; the gangsters in jeans or green army pants stared at the crowds with their glasses diagonally, grabbing a vendor’s apple and stuffing it. Into the mouth; two to four-story buildings are scattered around and you can see drying clothes, green plants and pigeon cages.
What is noticeable is that the styles of clothes worn by people are surprisingly consistent, and the colors are mostly gray. If you think about it, the same is true of Xi County and Xibao Town, but because there are fewer people and fewer spacious commercial streets, you can’t feel it.
Occasionally, there will be a girl in a red or yellow skirt passing by, regardless of her appearance and figure, it is enough to make people shine.
This is a gray city.
Gray air, gray streets, gray clothes, gray bicycles, gray vehicles, gray buildings, gray mood and gray sky.
The noise in his ears and the chaos in his eyes made Yang Rui frown. Except for its huge scale, Pingjiang at this time was not more prosperous than the county town of later generations, but it was more chaotic and dirty than the county town of later generations.
“Living here, it’s better to live in the country.” Yang Rui rubbed the black ash, shook his head, and found a tricycle to go to City No. 1 Middle School.
Resource cities have never been a livable place. However, wealth is often gathered. From time to time, you can see a few cars that are obviously personal. Most of them bear the military brand, but the people in them often don’t see any soldiers. Kind.
Privileged cars are a sign of the times. In the days when there are no private cars, if you don’t want to find a powerful license plate, you will have more trouble driving problems.
The tricycle drove Yang Rui directly to the Yizhong Guest House, which is only one step away from the gate of Yizhong. You can move in as long as there is a letter of introduction from a national unit.
Shi Gui ran to greet him, smiled and took Yang Rui’s bag, and said, “It’s not easy to walk on the road, right? I always talk about roads and roads, but I’ve never repaired them. I invite you to dinner.”
“It’s not in a hurry to eat. Take your receipts and pick up the books at the bus station. That book booth also has our books?” Yang Rui relaxed a little, handed the pick-up list to Shi Gui, and began to observe the surroundings.
In terms of sales ability, he may not be as expensive as history, but his vision is at least not bad.
The advertisement outside the book booth is very conspicuous, but the colors are as gray as gray. Because of the scarcity of colored pigments, Yang Rui did not consider this layer when he designed the posters in the school. He thought at the time that the provincial capital would at least look like The ordinary cities of later generations are so splendid and splendid, and I think the gray advertising paintings are not a big deal.
Never thought that the current provincial capital is so dilapidated.
Shi Gui didn’t think there was a problem, and said with a smile: “Anyone with big pictorials sells New Concept English. Nearly 200 copies have been sold in the past two days. It should be said that sales have increased a bit.”
“The Big Pictorial is your name?”
“It’s the boss Jia of the book stand. It’s quite conspicuous, isn’t it? Many students came to look at the painting above, looked at it, and bought a copy.”
“Yes, it should be more conspicuous. I brought a new advertisement with the slogan of New Concept English Volume II. Let’s buy some bright watercolors and crayons, and make the advertisement colorful at night.”
Sguidun stayed and said, “Is it necessary? The current advertisements are also very good.”
“I have to tell everyone that the second volume of New Concept English has arrived. Our situation is bad enough. If we don’t want to expand sales anymore, I can’t hold on.” Yang Rui said half jokingly, and said: “I owe it. The bank only printed the second volume of New Concept English for RMB 12,500. You said it can sell 500 volumes every day.”
“Ah… yes, that’s right.” Shi Gui couldn’t help shivering when he heard twelve thousand five hundred yuan. It was not worry, but excitement.
According to the profit, if he could really sell 20,000 copies of New Concept English, he would make 1,000 yuan less, but a lot of money.
There are watercolor pens and crayons near the school, and the two spent one night tracing the paper that Yang Ruixin had brought into color.
Early the next morning, Shi Gui rode a tricycle and began to deliver goods around.
Pingjiang is a big city, but this is from the perspective of the 1980s. At this time, Beijing was only on the scale of the second ring road, and the capital of Hedong Province was so large that it just couldn’t use walking as the main mode of transportation.
Yang Rui was waiting in the book booth closest to No. 1 Middle School, chatting with Boss Jia, while waiting for the sales time to come.
This is a brand-new experience, a bit like waiting for students to come home after posting a small advertisement, but it’s not the same, because the current job is not familiar to him.
He is familiar with teaching and biology. He can copy and write textbooks, but he does not understand sales.
Fortunately, the big red letters of “New Concept English Book 2 Arrival” played a role.
When noon came, without Yang Rui yelling, some students took the initiative to come and ask: “Where is the second volume of your New Concept English?”
Yang Rui immediately took it to him.
Jiefang Printing Factory is an old factory, and the printed “New Concept English” is a white paper. On the cover there are several large characters in New Concept English, followed by the notes of the first or second volume. The inner pages are also the simplest typesetting , It looks ordinary.
The student who got the book looked at it for a while and asked, “Is it true?”
“The content is true.” Boss Jia replied with a smile.
The student showed a clear expression, and then began to look down, obviously to confirm the content.
Even the pirated version of the new concept English is sold for a little bit, which is the consumption of ordinary students for a week.
However, there are very few textbooks and counseling books now, and the choices of students are far from as rich as the students of later generations.
As more and more students were reading books, the book booth was also full of people.
But none of the students paid.
Yang Rui’s expression became more and more serious. For him, this was definitely not a good phenomenon. He not only wants to sell the book, but also wants to sell the book quickly.
If the students here are hesitating whether to pay, it may be guessed that most of the students are hesitating to pay.
“Thank you, please give me a book of New Concept English Volume 2.” Another girl carrying a schoolbag came to the book booth. She lowered her head and said something, then quietly looked at Yang Rui from the corner of her eye.
Nowadays, there are fewer TV and TV programs, fewer live events, and there are not many opportunities to meet a really handsome guy.
Yang Rui is quite proud. We run so **** the bench press, isn’t it just for a good figure? So he smiled back, and then reached for the book.
Then, it was empty.
“Sorry, all the books are here. You can wait a moment.” Yang Rui pointed to the people around him with a smile on his face. Seeing the young and lovely female students always makes people feel better.
“It’s okay, I’ll wait for them to finish reading.” The female student smiled shyly at Yang Rui, then took a step back shyly, and glanced at other people inadvertently.
The boy closest to her seemed to feel the pressure. He looked around and then at the book in his hand. He suddenly said, “So many people?”
“Well, have you chosen?” Yang Rui said kindly.
The boy glanced at the empty bookcase in the bookshelf, then glanced at the cute girl who “looked at him”, and suddenly made a decision: “I bought it, is it one piece and eight?”
“Correct.”
“Here you are.” The boy handed the money to Boss Jia, holding a book of New Concept English, and turned around.
The young and lovely girl rolled her eyes, then glanced at the **** the right.
Like a chain reaction, the girl who was watched decisively took out one yuan and eight anise to Boss Jia, put the new concept English in her hand into the bag, and left quickly.
One student after another began to pay, and from start to finish, there was no book to return.
Maybe some students still want to wait, but seeing that the “New Concept English Volume 2” in the book booth has fallen into the hands of other students, no one wants to return it.
More and more students decided to pay, and some people negotiated a joint purchase, but no matter what they decided, no one returned the book to the book booth.
“Is there no books?” The lovely girl gathered up her courage and asked Yang Rui directly.
“Sorry, I have prepared a total of 30 copies today. I thought it was a lot. If they are sold out, you can come and have a look in the afternoon.” Yang Rui said this, feeling excited.
Shi Gui found a total of about 40 bookstores to shop, and each bookstore had 30 books. If all were sold, it would be 1,200. Even if this number was discounted by half, it perfectly met Yang Rui’s request.
Besides, maybe some books can be sold in the afternoon.
Soon, all the second volumes of New Concept English were sold out. Someone naturally picked up the remaining New Concept English Book 1 and asked: “Is this a set?”
“Yes, the first volume of New Concept English is more suitable for beginners, from the simplest word part to the second grade difficulty the second volume is probably the high school difficulty.” Yang Rui explained briefly.
The talking boy unexpectedly opened the white paper, quickly turned it back halfway, and looked at it seriously.
Gradually, more people picked up the first volume.
As Yang Rui said, the first book of New Concept English is the most suitable for mass students, especially now that students lack the foundation, recitation or reading the first book will have good results.
Although some students gave up buying the first book—they felt that the first half was too simple and wasteful, some students started to buy the first book.
When the flow of people became sparse, there were only a few copies of the first volume of New Concept English that Boss Jia had unsold here.
“Sold it!” As the last person was sent away, Yang Rui sat down on the horse, feeling harder than doing two sets of experiments, but his mood was extremely cheerful.
