Back to the golden age

Seeing that everyone was silent, Song Yuanchao gave out cigarettes to everyone, lit up and took a puff and said: "I have estimated that if we sell it, we will sell at most a few thousand copies. Limited, if there is no requirement from the school, it is not a problem to make a fortune in just one month, even if there is a backlog, you can’t lose money.”

"But now the school directly distributes nearly a thousand volumes at once. In this way, our profits will be poached quickly, and the risk is too great. But I thought about it again, and this job is not impossible. Since the school has proposed conditions, then we can also raise our own conditions, if the school can agree, the benefits of this transaction may far exceed the initial imagination."

Song Yuanchao's words seemed to give everyone a shot in the arm, and everyone's eyes lit up immediately.

"Yanchao, tell me carefully what your plan is and how to do this?" Li Daqi couldn't wait to ask.

"It's very simple, that's what I think..." Song Yuanchao smiled, and then spoke his thoughts in a low voice. Everyone frowned slightly at the beginning of his narration, but when Song Yuanchao broke the whole thing After careful analysis and kneading together, everyone's eyes gradually lit up.

"This...maybe it's okay!"

"Maybe? Maybe just remove these two words, it is necessary! It must be done!" Qin Zhengguo was the most excited among the few people. Although he came late, he encountered such a big event as soon as he came, and he was already gearing up and planning to do a big job. .

It seems that he made the right choice to leave Anton and come to Shanghai. If what Song Yuanchao said becomes true, even if it becomes half in the end, it will be enough for Qin Zhengguo. In that scene, I couldn't close my mouth from laughing.

"Zhengguo, you have to take the lead in this matter." Song Yuanchao said seriously to Qin Zhengguo: "Daqi and I couldn't come to the interview. We originally planned to let Gu Jie go, but Gu Jie is too honest. I'm afraid he won't be able to fool the school. Over there, so you go with Gu Jie tomorrow to formally finalize this matter."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this!" Qin Zhengguo agreed without even thinking about it. Song Yuanchao had mentioned this to him and asked him to help, but now he directly handed over the burden to him. This is right. Qin Zhengguo couldn't ask for his own trust.

Seeing that Qin Zhengguo agreed, Song Yuanchao told Qin Zhengguo and Gu Jie the key points and scale of the discussion tomorrow. The two kept it carefully in their hearts and asked a few questions. Song Yuanchao took the trouble to explain it. Don't worry.

After talking, it was getting late, Song Yuanchao took out the cooked food and wine bought on the road, put them on the table, and poured wine for everyone, Song Yuanchao picked up the wine and said: "Come on! Let's have a drink together for tomorrow's day." Cheers to success, let’s have a good meal when things are done, and celebrate.”

"Nothing, cheers!"

Everyone smiled and raised their cups to touch them heavily, and at the same time raised their heads and drank it down.

The next day.

Qin Zhengguo and Gu Jie went to the school-run factory, and Song Yuanchao was already waiting there.He took them directly to the factory director's office on the second floor, and introduced them to the factory director Ma.

For Qin Zhengguo and Gu Jie, Song Yuanchao only said that they were his friends, and did not introduce much about the others. The factory manager Ma received the two warmly here, and after drinking tea and sitting down, they began to chat about printing college entrance examination review materials. thing.

Director Ma first introduced the situation of his factory and the school's decision, and clearly stated the request made by Principal Zhou.

After listening to Director Ma's narration, Qin Zhengguo frowned immediately, and asked with a straight face: "Director Ma, the requirements of your school are too much, right? The things we print with money are for nothing. Take it for use? Isn’t that inappropriate? If it’s just a few or a dozen copies, I can make the decision here, and it’s also necessary to help each other, but don’t forget that this is nearly a thousand copies! After calculating how much it is, you are a factory Long, don't you know better than me? Do you think it's appropriate to do so?"

As he spoke, Qin Zhengguo raised his buttocks and stood up, a little angrily said: "You are the elders, we are the juniors, there are some things that are inappropriate to say, but you also know that we are ordinary young people, and we are not landlords, veterans, capitalists, and the money for this thing It’s all the money that a few friends managed to scrape together, so much money was thrown into the water for nothing, isn’t this just beating local tyrants to divide the land? How can there be such a reason in the world?”

Qin Zhengguo put on a posture that he was about to leave. Seeing his reaction, Director Ma's face was a bit ugly. It was not because Qin Zhengguo's words were too much, but because it was a bit too much for the school to judge others by himself. Isn't it? No money was spent, and so many finished products were paid for in vain after collecting rent and materials fees.

But this matter has reached this level, and Principal Zhou has already agreed. If Qin Zhengguo quits now, won't he push himself into a corner?Immediately, Factory Manager Ma became a little anxious, and hurriedly stopped Qin Zhengguo and Gu Jie, and at the same time kept winking at Song Yuanchao.

"Zhengguo, don't be angry." Song Yuanchao on the side quickly stepped forward to stop Qin Zhengguo, apologetically saying: "This is also an unexpected situation, didn't I mention it to you yesterday?"

"I mentioned it? That's right! You mentioned it, but you didn't say it would cost so much! It costs 300 volumes for one class, and the sum of the three classes is less than [-]! How much do you calculate? Now ordinary people only earn a month. How much? Are you kidding me? No wonder you Shanghainese are said to be smart, so that's how you do things?" Qin Zhengguo replied unceremoniously, which made Song Yuanchao's face stiffen.

Not to mention Song Yuanchao, even Director Ma felt a little blush when he heard this.

Shanghai is the largest city in the country, and it is also the place where it first came into contact with the West. Every Shanghainese has pride in being a Shanghainese, and it is recognized that Shanghainese are most particular about the spirit of contract.But now Qin Zhengguo, an educated youth from other places, pointed at Song Yuanchao's nose and said such words, which made them feel ashamed.

"Zhengguo, let's discuss this matter again. Since everyone has talked about this step, it's too late for you to go to other units now. Why don't you all sit down and discuss it carefully, and come up with a plan that is acceptable to both parties. ?” Song Yuan squeezed out a smile on the embarrassed expression, full of sincerity: “We are all friends, don’t hurt your friendship, let’s see if I look good?”

As he said that, Song Yuan blinked desperately at Factory Manager Ma, and Factory Manager Ma also came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Yuan Chao is right, you little comrade, you are too impatient, I didn't You can’t discuss it, you can ask for any conditions, as long as we can accept it.”

Qin Zhengguo glanced at Song Yuanchao, then at the director Ma who was smiling apologetically, and seemed to have calmed down a bit: "I'm sorry, we Liaodong people are not good at this. Our temper is too straightforward and our personality is too aggressive. We can't change the habits we have developed since we were young."

"It's okay, it's okay, I also have the same temper. It's better to go straight than to hide it. By the way, I was better than you when I was young. Comrade Xiao Qin, are you from Anton? Anton is a good place. Back then Crossing the Yalu River with great vigor and vigor, our troops set off from Andong, and I was in the team crossing the river at that time, and I still remember all the plants and trees in Andong!"

Factory Manager Ma said with emotion, talking about his past when he joined the army to resist US aggression and aid Korea when he was young, this remark aroused Qin Zhengguo's interest, especially when Factory Manager Ma said that he arrived with the army to station in Anton, Qin Zhengguo was still surprised It was found that the place where Director Ma and the others were stationed was not far from his home. Maybe his old man had seen Factory Director Ma when he was young.

After Director Ma talked about this matter, the atmosphere between the two parties eased up a lot for a while. After smoking two cigarettes, Director Ma changed the subject and talked about the matter before him again.

"Xiao Qin, it's true that our school didn't think carefully about this matter, but it's also difficult on the school side!" Director Ma handed over another cigarette, and began to complain about the lack of funding from the superiors. , The school is short of funds, it is not easy for students to study, and how hard the teachers are for the college entrance examination.

After talking a lot, the factory director Ma said sincerely to Qin Zhengguo: "Xiao Qin, the situation is like this, so you can put forward any ideas and conditions, as long as I can do it, I will help you." Do it, what do you think?"

Qin Zhengguo didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking while smoking a cigarette silently.
