Chapter 50

It took four people a day to check their handwriting, and they basically listed the names of those who were for and against. There were more than a dozen uncertain names left. Yang Rui was ready to stay in the reserve group for observation.

At this point, the preparatory work is basically completed. Yang Rui takes the manuscript of new concept English volume 1 and goes down the mountain to find his cousin.

In the 1980s, the profit of printing books was very high, especially the profit of pirated books. There were often more than 50% of the cost and 200% of the cases.

It's also new concept English. Several domestic publishing houses are printing vigorously without authorization. The money they make not only makes their employees spend several fat years, but also creates new office buildings, replaces new equipment, and removes the extremely high administrative cost. The profit is still several million.

Yang Rui doesn't want to be able to compete with these large publishing houses. He just wants to meet a third of an acre of land near Xi county. Considering the fate of Huo Laosi and others, Yang Rui chooses Shi GUI as his intermediary this time, and gives him all the work of dealing with the outside world.

Although Shi GUI is also a smart man, he is not as far away as Yang Rui thinks. On the contrary, he is secretly happy, hoping that he can keep a personal contact after contacting the other printing house.

They have their own ideas, but they cooperate well.

Duan Hang takes Shi GUI to recognize the door, and the latter accompanies the director of Jiefang printing factory to have two drinks, and then understands each other's needs.

When Shi GUI came back to report, he was still dizzy. His mouth seemed to be stuffed with a walnut and he said, "that grandson wants 1000 yuan

"What?" Yang Rui lives in Duan Hang's dormitory temporarily. He is shocked to hear this figure and asks, "is it 1000 yuan?"

"Yes. Is it black? " When Shi GUI heard the number on the wine table, he drank two glasses of wine and was shocked.

If you want to say more, 1000 yuan is not much. The profit of Ruixue group in half a month is only one fifth of Yang Rui's expected profit, which will be replaced by the salary of the factory director, that is, the salary for more than one year and two years.

However, the price of products in different times is different, so is bribery. In 1982, there were not many officials who took the initiative to ask for bribes, but the number was very small. The so-called "back door" was to carry two bottles of wine and two cigarettes, and the price was less than ten yuan and more than tens of yuan.

By the best standards, two bottles of Maotai and two pieces of Zhonghua can't reach the standard of 100 yuan. It's just that the goods are rare and expensive, and it's hard to find tickets.

On the other hand, in China, where the commodity economy has not even begun, people don't have much money to live with. It's no problem to spend 1000 yuan on a wedding or a two month tour of the mainland.

Before the businessmen began to corrupt the Party cadres with RMB, it was beyond Yang Rui's expectation to ask for 1000 yuan.

"Here you are?" Squid had a weak expectation. He can't afford such an expensive line, and only Yang Rui can give it a try.

Yang Rui said with a bitter smile: "even if I am willing to give it, I dare not give it."

Shi GUI does not understand: "why?"

Yang Rui shook his head: "this product is too bold. Sooner or later, something will happen. Such a large amount of bribery will definitely lead us out, and we will be in trouble at that time. "

In other words, any criminal act before that is high-risk. Although bribery is not a felony, it's hard to say whether a felony is a felony when the judicial department has to use criminals to make up the number.

If there is tens of hundreds of yuan in cash, Yang Rui doesn't think it's dangerous. Maybe the other party has forgotten it. But it's a little hard to forget the bribe of 1000 yuan.

Shi GUI was also afraid and sighed.

"Is Jiefang printing so popular?" Yang Rui can't believe it.

"Fire what? The machine is older than the factory director, and the tasks given above are often not completed. The factory director runs outside all day, and the workers go to work casually. "

"But it's still a printing house."

"Yes, no matter how bad it is, it's a printing house." Shi GUI is more disappointed than Yang Rui, because he doesn't have to take any risks. If he sells books with a percentage, he can earn more than papers, and the amount is also large.

Yang Rui thought about it for a while, but he didn't give up. There are so many printing factories in the province that it's hard for them to talk. It's hard to have such a straightforward person as the factory director. At least they have made a request.

According to Yang Rui, his social activity ability is still not as good as that of Huo Laosi. Since Huo Laosi chose this printing house, there is a reason to choose him

Yang Rui suddenly thought, such as Huo Laosi this big gangster, willing to take 1000 yuan bribe?

Then he's too idealistic.This year, 1000 yuan can buy 20 arms and legs.

Maybe it's Huo Laosi who got hold of the factory director?

Yang Rui couldn't figure it out. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Lao Shi, does the factory director want money? Did you say what to do? "

"It seems to be for his son. As for what to do, I'm not sure."

"How old is your son?"

"About 20 years old, he said at that time, let me think..." Shi GUI put forward the thinking of middle-aged and old people.

Yang Rui conjectured: 1000 yuan is not enough to study abroad, and now there are few cross film or school selection fees. Even if there are other names, there is no dare to charge 1000 yuan for treatment? A factory director has no other power. It's not easy to get reimbursement for medical expenses... It's not much money, it's really puzzling.

Shi GUI thought for a long time, almost simulated the action on the wine table, suddenly patted his forehead and said, "I see. He is sending money to buy a house for his son."

"Buy a house? Is there a house for sale now? " Yang Rui knew he was wrong when he opened his mouth. He quickly changed his words and said, "does the policy allow him to buy a house?"

"It's not a house to buy." Shi GUI corrected for a moment and said in a low voice, "it's the cell in the prison."

"What do you mean?"

"It's like saying that his son is in prison and is often beaten in prison, so he asks for a change of class, and then he's in a hurry to spend money. Maybe that's what he means." Shi GUI sighed twice: "when people go to prison, they don't treat you as a person. How much money is not enough to spend. It's estimated that this grandson will soon be drained. "

"Which prison?" Yang Rui estimates that Huo Laosi also uses the same method. He is a big gangster who enters the palace several times. He can also find two people to cover the boy. If he can't get it right, he has to add the threat of anti beating without printing.

Shi GUI shook his head: "I don't know."

"Is it near here?"

"It's nearby, of course, or you can't find anyone you know."

Yang Rui searched his memory and said, "if it's not the provincial prison, it's shaping prison. If you can find acquaintances, it's probably shaping prison. "

The provincial prison is a felon prison, where there are more violent criminals. On the one hand, the management is strict, on the other hand, the level is higher. Compared with the regional prison, it is much more difficult to find acquaintances.

Shi GUI widened his eyes and asked, "do you have a way?"

"I'll try. You go back first."

"Well... I'll go back first." Shigui has no choice but to go back in three steps.

Yang Rui asked his cousin Duan Hang about it that night. Although the prison administration and the police are two systems, they are all in the judicial circle after all. There are always two understandings.

If you use money, it's safer to use it here.

In comparison, the director of Jiefang printing factory is too rough. In the words of foreigners, he may have a tendency to self destruct. Yang Rui doesn't want to be close to the scope of his martyrdom.

Duan Hang naturally had to ask people. After a circle, he used six bottles of wine and four cigarettes to solve the problem.

Yang Rui then asked Shi GUI to go back to the factory director to confirm the printing.

With this relationship, the other party agreed to Yang Rui's request for a deposit of 2000 yuan and the first printing of 10000 copies.

However, Jiefang factory has put down 5000 copies and will not deliver them until Yang Rui pays off the balance.

Yang Rui agreed.

The cost of printing 10000 copies is much lower than that of printing 5000 copies. However, in the current domestic environment, both students and parents are haggard. If we don't keep the cost low enough and make money, if some bold publishers or printers learn to do it, the market for volume two and volume three will be unstable.

In contrast, Yang Rui doesn't care whether he takes back 5000 or 10000 copies.

"This time, we need to sell goods from the provincial capital first..." Yang Rui still came to Shi GUI alone. First he explained something, then he moved out a huge box and said, "here are 200 wallets for you to make gifts."

"Gifts?" Shi GUI couldn't understand. He opened the box. It was really a small purse the size of a palm.

The wallet is made of cloth, but there is a surprise zipper. Yang Rui bought it from Guangzhou through Shao Liang's family. The wholesale price of each zipper is 25 cents. If it is sold on the market, it is estimated that the price will be more than 50 cents.

"If someone buys ten books at a time, you will give him a wallet," Yang said

"Ten for one purse? Is it a good deal? " Shigui rubbed the cloth."It's a good deal. In addition, the price of books is one eight, which must be unified. There should also be a receipt for gifts. "

"The problem is, very few people buy ten books at a time."

"You have more gifts to give. You have to remember that you can only get one wallet out of ten, not even nine. Besides, you don't sell wallets for money. "

Shi GUI suddenly said: "in this case, if they want a wallet, they have to collect ten people. Some people who don't want to buy will be pulled over."

"Well, at the beginning, many people may not understand new concept English, so they will use this method to promote sales. After they read the book, it will be easier to sell." Yang Rui said seriously, "this time, you have to send me a telegram in time."

"Certainly." Shi GUI Yilin's hand touching the wallet stopped.
