Chapter 269： Buy even from the factory

Doing newspapers and magazines, or comic weekly magazines, can't lack a decent support.

That is the printing industry.

In recent years, with the continuous development of Xiangjiang's economy, people have more and more needs for culture, knowledge and pastimes, and the world is now without internet. Most of the ways people get information and entertainment come from TV and movies And newspapers and magazines.

You can't watch TV movies at any time. Only newspapers and magazines can be taken anywhere, so newspapers and magazines are very popular in Xiangjiang.

Not to mention that it is now, after 2016, when the Internet era was extremely developed, Xiangjiang's newspapers survived more than 60 copies. What is the proportion of a city with a population of 7 million?

Due to increased demand, Xiangjiang does not have too many restrictions on newspapers, so in recent years, several newspapers and magazines have been established every year.

Because newspapers need to be printed and sold, they have become more and more prosperous even with printing houses, but there are also many poorly managed ones.

There are more than 100 printing factories in Xiangjiang, and more than 5 printing factories will be closed every year, and then new printing factories will join.

All this information was obtained by Yin Jun from Zhou Haimei's father Zhou Yuping.

Zhou Yuping is the manager of a medium-sized printing plant. This printing plant still uses the old lead alloy relief printing process. It is an equipment imported from the UK 17 years ago. Now the three machines can print 80,000 a day. Copies of the newspaper, specifically printed for two newspapers that neither Yin Jun heard of.

The second-generation boss is basically irrelevant. Zhou Yuping took over the responsibility of the entrepreneurial boss five years ago and took full control of all the affairs of this printing plant.

However, because the competition is too fierce now, and this printing house has no way to come up with more and more favorable competitive value, no matter how Zhou Yuping works, the meager profit for one year can only be maintained at about 6%. Compared to the industries that are currently booming in Xiangjiang, there are far fewer.

Just during the Spring Festival this year, the newly-acquired second-generation small boss once found a lot of people who wanted to sell this printing factory that was still in good operation, but because he was too expensive, such a medium A printing factory of a large scale actually offered a price of 7 million, and others would not be interested.

The three machines are outdated products, at best worth 2 million, and their business is still very good, the profitability is stable, and a group of workers with more than 10 years of printing experience, but even if these are added, the price Shouldn't it be higher than 4 million, 7 million in one breath, really ignorant rich second generation, really treat people as fools?

It ’s not just outsiders who valued it this way. When Zhou Yuping hosted Yin Jun for dinner at home, he said more than once that the value of this printing house was at most 5 million. If there is more premium, then there is really no purchase value.

Moreover, after the New Year, the two newspaper companies that cooperated were both interested in reducing costs and allowing the printing houses to further reduce their prices. Zhou Yuping considered it. If they were given two more ideas, the business would be sustainable. However, in this case, the annual profit of the factory can only be around 200,000 at most, which is one third less than the previous 300,000.

After he reported this analysis result to the little boss, the little boss who was used to the rich family's children immediately became furious and threatened to make no allowance.

But the little boss is not stupid. He asked Zhou Yuping to quickly find a new partner so that he could make an extra escape.

However, Zhou Yuping knows that the overall market of the printing industry is like this. Everyone is facing fierce competition. Many newspapers also have their own fixed cooperative printing plants. It is difficult for others to get in.

Moreover, the newspaper industry is now fiercely competitive, and the two newspapers that have cooperated for more than a decade have also faced tremendous pressure, so they are allowed to lower their prices, otherwise they will be difficult to maintain.

I analyzed these facts to the little boss, but the little boss refused to bow his head resolutely, just let Zhou Yuping work hard. Zhou Yuping had been busy for two or three months, and there was no progress. Tough, threatening to change the printing house if you do n’t make a decision as soon as possible.

Although the little boss here also agreed to a 1 percentage point drop in profit, but no longer refused.

Moreover, he did not give up his efforts to sell to the printing house. Now that he has been hit by a lot of market conditions, he has gradually reduced the price to 5 million, but he refused to cut the price again.

He caught in the middle, very uncomfortable.

"If I didn't think about the more than 70 old folks in the factory, I would have left long ago. Who wants to suffer from this kind of petulance?" Zhou Yuping said to Yin Jun.

Yin Jun will come to the Zhou family from time to time. One is to cultivate familiarity with Zhou Haimei. Second, in fact, he has long been eyeing the talent of Zhou Yuping.

Yin Jun, a printing factory where Zhou Yuping works, has been there for a long time.

Although the printing factory in Tsing Yi is not very large, it was managed by Zhou Yuping very well. First of all, the outside of the factory is relatively clean and tidy. The production area inside the factory is also well organized. After the work is completed every day, maintenance Maintenance is also meticulous, which is an important reason why the machine that has been used for 17 years still works well.

Moreover, listening to Zhou Haimei said that Zhou Yuping had a good relationship with his employees. Half of his salary was used to help workers in difficulty, so this group of workers worked in this factory for 20 years for the longest and ten years for the short. , Belong to a group of employees who have a very sense of belonging ... Well, almost all are **** supporters of Zhou Yuping.

Today, when I heard Zhou Yuping say this again, Yin Jun pondered for a while and asked, "Uncle Zhou, if there is a better job opportunity now, would you like to do it?"

Zhou Yuping drank a little wine, but was not drunk. He heard it for a moment and then shook his head with self-deprecation. "What are the good job opportunities? In the printing industry, there is no shortage of talents!"

"I'm going to start a comics weekly. There is a lack of someone who has experience in the printing industry to help manage the printing. I don't know if Uncle Zhou can think about it here?" Yin Jun simply said this directly.

Hearing Yin Jun saying this, not only Zhou Yuping, but also Zhou Haimei and her stepmother, who were eating next to them, looked at Yin Jun with their eyes wide open.

Zhou Yuping frowned, "Ajun, Uncle Zhou knows that you are a very good screenwriter, and you can make a lot of money, but you do n’t have any experience in doing things like newspapers and magazines. Do n’t use your own money to float. what!"

Yin Jun's jaw slightly, "You can rest assured, Uncle Zhou, I know the size. Drawing comics is just storytelling. Are you still worried about my ability to tell stories?"

"Not only telling stories, but also how to draw cartoons, how to handle, how to continue ..." Zhou Yu said flatly, "This matter is not that simple!"

"Well, since that's the case, after dinner, Uncle Zhou, go to a place with me, you look at it and say it again!" Yin Jun said.

"it is good!"

Zhou Yu readily agreed. He made up his mind. If the things that Yin Jun showed him tomorrow, he had no thoughtful plans, but prepared by patting his head, he would urge Yin Jun to stop fooling around, Making some money is not easy.

However, when Yin Jun brought him, Zhu Cuixiang and Zhou Haimei together to the comic studio at No. 6 Broadcasting Road, the family of three looked stunned again.

I saw that within the scope of the three floors, whether it was a screenwriter or an artist, they were either arguing fiercely, or having serious discussions, or someone who was painting seriously on the workbench.

On the walls and tables, there are drawings that they have drawn. They are colored, black and white. Just take a few pictures to see. Whether it is a character or a robot, you can see that the painting is very fine and beautiful.

Looking at so many artists and screenwriters, at such a large scale, and at their enthusiasm for the night fight, Zhou Yuping suddenly felt dizzy.

Such a situation is not a joke!

After returning to the office area on the first floor, Zhou Yuping's family of three listened to Yin Jun talking about his planning, preparation, and the source of these technical talents. Zhou Haimei and Zhu Cuixiang didn't think there was anything, but Zhou Yuping was abrupt for a while. The feeling of respect.

He is also a half-cultural person, and naturally knows what the elites of the Shanghai Haihai Fine Art Film Studio represent.

There is no one in Xiangjiang's comic industry who can say in front of them that they have excellent painters.

Yin Jun spent so much money to bring them in, and there are so many comic stories to prepare, and there are so many screenwriters from Wireless and Li to help with the copywriting work, and there can be better comics than this Is the weekly prepared?

Zhou Yuping did not see comic stories, but as Yin Jun said just now, comics are storytelling. In Xiangjiang, can anyone tell a story better than Yin Jun?

Now that Yin Jun has so much preparation, he must be a must for the printing house.

No wonder he just asked himself if he was willing to help him in the past.

In an instant, Zhou Yuping suddenly flashed in his mind, "A Jun, what do you think of our factory? How about letting our factory pick up your manga weekly print list? You can rest assured about price, quality and delivery. Guarantee no problem! "

Talking, Zhou Yuping was a little excited.

If Yin Jun ’s list can be dug, with Yin Jun ’s fame and strength, this comic weekly can sell at least 100,000 copies, and then there are other ports like Baodao and Aomen that can be sold. 200,000 copies? The Japanese manga weekly is more than 400 pages. Even if Yin Jun ’s manga weekly is only 300 pages, the printing task is too large, which can directly feed the printing house.

"Sorry, Uncle Zhou, I will not give this task to others, only my own printing house." Yin Jun shook his head, "My printing house can only serve me, so as to guarantee the maximum I have control over these supporting details. "

With a sigh, Zhou Yu thought to himself, I knew it would happen.

Because Yin Jun said at the beginning to let him go to help the printing factory, not to cooperate.

Facing the gains and losses, Zhou Yuping fell into contemplation.

Zhou Haimei, next to him, seemed a little excited about everything he saw today.

She knew that Yin Jun was amazing, but she did n’t expect Jun to prepare such a big company quietly. There are dozens of people working for Jun. Such a genius is really amazing!

Zhou Haimei, who had always admired Yin Jun very much, unknowingly inscribed Yin Jun's shadow deeper into her heart.

After a moment, Zhou Yuping made a decision. He looked at Yin Jun apologetically: "I'm sorry, Jun, I can't promise you, I still want to stay in our printing house."

"Is it a question of salary?" Yin Jun asked. "If yes, Uncle Zhou, if you say a price, we will say everything."

"It's not a question of money." Zhou Yuping shook his head. "I'm used to working there. Although the little boss is not reliable, the dead boss is very good to me. Then I have so many siblings, all there. I do n’t want to leave them at work. "

"That's it!"

Yin Jun nodded, Zhou Yuping's answer was originally his expectation, "So, if we dig up all the employees, what do you think?"

"what!?"

Zhou Yuping was taken aback, "You all want it?"

"It's not enough for these people." Yin Jun smiled. "Since they are all veterans, it is good to let them bring a group of newly hired workers and let the printing factory get on the right track earlier. "

"This one……"

Zhou Yuping hesitated again, but in the end he still shook his head, "No, we are all gone, what about the factory? Am I not killing the small boss? I can't be so sorry for the boss!"

This time Yin Jun sighed.

It seems that if you want to dig people, it is really not that easy.

Yin Jun did not think that Zhou Yuping was the first person in the printing industry.

The most important reason why he wanted to dig up Zhou Yuping was that he was very familiar with the industry, his business ability and management ability were also very good, and Yin Jun knew his personality, and felt that such a person would be more at ease to use.

Secondly, Zhou Yuping is Zhou Haimei's father. If Yin Jun wants to cultivate this most beautiful Zhou Zhiruo, then she should keep close contact with her family and recruit Zhou Yuping to her side, which is the best way to tie Zhou Haimei.

Now it seems that Zhou Yuping is more stubborn than he thought.

But such a person, on the contrary, is more appreciated by Yin Jun.

Nostalgia and keeping the bottom line are the qualities most appreciated by a professional manager.

After thinking too much, Yin Jun can only come up with another solution of his own, "So, Uncle Zhou, I really want you to come over to help me, and your printing plant employees too. Since you do n’t want to abandon the old master like this, See if this works ... you can help to say a price. Within the market price range, I bought your printing house. "

"Do you want to buy a printing house?" Zhou Yuping thought Yin Jun would give up, but did not expect him to come up with such an idea.

At this moment, Zhou Yuping was very moved.

If a boss can seek talent to this extent, there is absolutely no one in the world.

However, after careful consideration, Zhou Yuping shook his head again and said, "Ajun, although our little boss has reduced the price, he has fixed 5 million yuan. At this price, although the factory is not lost, you are thinking now To be a manga printing factory, the printing machine needs to be changed a lot, which makes it very lossy. It is better to buy a second-hand machine that is suitable for printing comic pages.

"I don't like this factory, but your group of talents." Yin Jun smiled. "Okay, since there is no other way, then this is the case! We are not treating them badly, but walking upright, but When you get to my side, Uncle Zhou, you have to work hard to make this loss back for me! "

Looking at the teenager in front of him, Zhou Yuping's eyes suddenly became somewhat wet.

I can think so much for them, so I have to attract myself to a group of people at all costs. What a fancy to my group of people!

"Ajun, your idea is a little too idealistic. Otherwise, you should consider it for a few days, and then think about it?" Zhou Yuping could not help but persuade.

"This is already the result of my deliberations." Yin Jun waved his hand. "Uncle Zhou, after you go back, think about my suggestion and discuss with the old workers of the factory. Everyone agrees, then just Let ’s start the factory acquisition. As for what to do next, we can say in detail two days later, do this big thing first, then you have the intention to turn to the new factory, right? "

Seeing Yin Jun was always a calm and gentle attitude, Zhou Yu nodded slowly, "Well, I will consider replying to you in a few days."

Although I already tend to go to Yin Jun's printing house, Zhou Yuping still has to ask his old brothers.

However, Zhou Yuping knew that under such conditions as Yin Jun, most of them also had no opinion.

If you can think of so many bosses for them, you will definitely take care of them in the future. Working in such a factory will make everyone more eager.

Besides, Yin Jun is a genius, he has put such a big effort ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Zhou Yuping is also very optimistic about his success, just like his success in TV series and movies.

Now Xiangjiang's comic market is gradually hot, but it is far from saturated.

As long as Yin Jun's comic weekly can stand firm in Xiangjiang, then with Yin Jun's strong appeal, it is certain that the sales in Waibu will also be good.

In any case, it is definitely much better than the current printing house.

As for salary, Zhou Yuping is not worried.

Yin Jun's character is good, and he is very generous to the people who work for him underneath.

Now that all the elements are in place, Zhou Yuping is full of confidence that he and others have turned to new business this time.

This kind of excitement equivalent to starting the workplace again, he has not passed for a long time!

new Hope

Right in front! (To be continued.)
