In the days before the Spring Festival, he helped Cheng Feiyang plan the public distribution of bonuses and proposed the improvement of the security system.

It is an old alley, surrounded by courtyards built with stone walls, and some locust trees and ginkgo trees stretch out from the side of the wall, and the branches are luxuriant.

The bluestone lanes here are often full of ginkgo, he came earlier, from time to time in the early morning cold air stomp to drive away the cold, there are sparse people passing by, he arches his five fingers into a roll, exhales into the middle, and rubs it from time to time.

This looks like a young man who wants to be demeanor and not temperature in this year, and he is simply an old man in the depths of his soul who looks like he is spending the winter.

It didn't take long for the morning light to cover the end of the alleyway, and there was a light sound of stepping on the ground.

Then a woman appeared from the other side.

The woman is wearing a shirt and a light-colored jacket, with a peach gill powder on the scarf, cropped slacks on the bottom, a pair of black high heels under her slender legs, and a light makeup on her face, but her skin is even clearer, especially the hair is coiled up into a ball head, and the straight sideburns hang down from the ears, outlining the mandible like melon seeds.

The bluestone path of the ancient road, the locust tree on the wall of the ginkgo courtyard, and seeing the woman who seemed to come from the painting, for a moment, Cheng Ran was stunned.

This old street will be demolished in the future, and his impression of this street has become something in his memory, and it is precisely because of this that Cheng Ran has a kind of amazement that this painting has never been seen in later generations.

This is...... Qin Xizhen?

How is it different from before...... Oh, by the way, Cheng Ran remembered that she had seen her at school in the past, and the school required teachers to dress plainly, and even pay attention to makeup. And Qin Xizhen has submitted her resignation, and she is no longer a teacher, so she has naturally resumed some of her daily matching dresses, I have to say. In fact, although Qin Xizhen's clothes at this time are not as many as those trendy clothes in later generations, and the colors and changes are more single in comparison, but in her, it is simple and lined, and there is a truth that is really unbreakable, that is, in fact, no matter what you wear or what kind of hair you comb, the most important thing in the final analysis is your appearance.

"I'm sorry, I'm late......" Qin Xizhen said, trotting forward quickly.

"It's okay, girl, you always dress up two hours before you go out. ”

"Well, I also went to play mahjong next door by the way...... How can it be so exaggerated!" Qin Xizhen glared, and saw Cheng Ran holding her hands again, Qin Xizhen was a little hesitant, her hand in front of the neckline tightened slightly, "It's cold like this, why don't you wear more?"

"I don't feel cold when I go out, it's shady here, and after standing for a while, the cold begins to seep ......"

"Don't worry, let's go......" Cheng Ran just turned around and got up, and suddenly there was an extra scarf in front of him.

Looking at Qin Xizhen again, the gray-white checkerboard scarf around his neck had been untied, and he handed it over with one hand, and his exposed neck was as slender as a swan.

"It's cheaper for you, fifty bucks. Qin Xizhen didn't look at him, his eyes fell elsewhere.

"Cover the night......" Cheng Ran's words were cut off, as if he had mixed in something amazing. Evil spirits.

Fortunately, Qin Xizhen didn't hear this sentence clearly, and looked at him suspiciously, "What?"

"Uh...... Good. Cheng Ran took the scarf and hung it around his neck, and a woman's fragrant smell entered his nose. Cheng Ran put his hand into his trouser pocket, took out a fifty yuan one, and slapped it on Qin Xizhen's hand.

"You ......!" Qin Xizhen's eyes widened, and when she saw Cheng Ran shrinking her neck, she didn't want to go, and when she moved the idea of giving him a scarf, she was actually hesitant.

After all, this is her personal belongings, and the scarf is actually private and private, after all, it is worn around her neck. But at the end of the day, it's just a cold item, and sometimes it's in a hurry. But it's okay to give it to a child, after all, Cheng Ran in front of him is also a big boy with strong blood.

She's grown to this age, and she hasn't really given her personal belongings to any man......

Qin Xizhen was still very hesitant at first, whether it was suitable or not. But I still feel that I can't look past it, and my heart is horizontal, and the sentence "fifty yuan" is actually just a bit of Cheng Ran's side of thinking that she is a fan of money, and the process will be more natural and simple.

As a result, Cheng Ran took it, didn't say that he used it and returned it, and simply gave himself fifty yuan, what is going on......

Sister, this scarf is one hundred and thirty yuan......

Qin Xizhen was distressed, and he already knew that he had been blackmailed for two hundred!

At the end, Cheng Ran seemed to be warm, turned his head, and asked with concern, "I bought your scarf, aren't you cold?"

Qin Xizhen, who was still complaining about his unprecedented loss-making business, gave him a very educated and elegant smile, but his voice was full of cold murderous aura, "There is a word called 'beautiful frozen people'! ”

……

No. 18 Shuijingfang Street West Road is the location of Shanhai Hongxing Printing Factory, today and Qin Xizhen came to handle the relevant matters, before this Qin Xizhen has actually talked with the printing house, the early photocopying sample is also called, and today they met with the factory director Fu Zuotao. In the past, large state-owned printing factories such as the Red Star Printing Factory generally did not accept private jobs.

But in this year, the efficiency of the printing plant has also been sluggish for a long time, and it is a large factory, so much labor expenses, and it is forced to expand its business later. At least the Red Star Printing Factory, a large state-owned factory, still has some bright bottom lines. Some small factories have directly broken through the lower limit, and pirates have become business channels for some best-selling books and materials on the market. After all, the paper is the same, and when it is printed and rushed into the market, who knows which printing house came out.

Fu Zuotao estimated that he had been attacked by Qin Xizhen before this, and at this time, he wanted to hide when he saw Qin Xizhen coming to the door, "I said Miss Qin...... You should leave us some profit margins, I can give you less than enough...... What you want to carry out is process printing, I have a whole set of process here, pulping, you want to do the card paper is thicker, composed of multiple layers, but also through the steel roller kneading, our technology is sophisticated, there will never be a long time to fall off, followed by the pressure cloth, die-cutting, sorting, inner heat shrink packaging, printing outer packaging box, glazing sticky poker box...... With a complete set of these processes, where can you still get such an affordable price......"

Seeing the bitter gourd face of the factory director, Cheng Ran knew that Qin Xizhen had cut the factory director before.

"I invited our designers here today, let's visit first......"

Director Fu led the two to observe the situation of the entire printing plant, and the printing area rumbled and rumbled.

Cheng Ran looked at the equipment and said, "Heidelberg four-color printing press...... Pair on and quad power ......"

Director Fu looked at Cheng Ran with a slight surprise, "Good eyesight! Our Red Star Printing Factory is a state-owned factory, and the Heidelberg machine introduced in 94 years is a good thing...... Dare to say that in Shanhai City, the scale of the introduction of Heidelberg machines, our family is the only one......!

Cheng Ran has observed all aspects of the line, this kind of state-owned factory is still reliable in terms of technology, and at this time, the Three Kingdoms Killing did not require the kind of precision work steps in later generations, and the general traditional printing plant does not need major module changes, and it can also be competent at the level of general process printing.

"We feel that the main thing is the price...... Because in the end, we still hope to have a long-term cooperation with you, we print 10,000 pairs in the early stage, through our board game distribution channels, if the sales meet expectations, our cooperation will continue, not only 10,000 pairs in the future, but also 100,000 pairs, 1 million pairs......"

Qin Xizhen said, "Based on our long-term cooperation, you can lower the price for me by another ......."

Director Fu almost turned around and left, "This is not a matter yet...... At first, I quoted fifteen yuan, and then thirteen, twelve...... For the current ten yuan a pair, you still want me to drop another ......"

"You said it yourself, the quantity is large and the price is good......" Qin Xizhen smiled.

"Then wait until you can really print that number, you go and inquire, 10,000 pairs is just our starting mold number, less than this number we don't accept......"

"Then you have to show us the sincerity first...... Or, drop five cents again?" Qin Xizhen had a harmless expression.

Director Fu also fell for her evil, at the beginning of the beautiful girl, the heart was confused and vigilant, but this girl is simply smiling and hiding a knife, cutting the price of both soft and hard, it is simply unbearable...... If you want to say that it is good to refuse with a straight face at the beginning, but in the process of chatting, you are familiar with each other, plus the other party looks pure and talkative, and from time to time says something that makes you happy, where has Director Fu seen such a powerful character, and the price can only be loosened again and again.

But in fact, according to this price, other factories can also do it, but Cheng Ran thinks that this kind of state-owned factory still has a checkpoint in terms of quality control, and even some operations and festivals.

Later, the printing house agreed to reduce the cost of a board game to nine and a half. However, there is still a prerequisite, that is, the down payment must be paid to 30%.

This amount is still very high compared to the fact that some printing houses can start work as soon as they are successful. After all, the biggest cost is labor, people have nothing to do, wages still have to be paid, there is a job to open, and the money can naturally be received in the future.

The three achievements are twenty-eight thousand five hundred pieces. Cheng Ran now has more than 40,000 yuan on hand, and this money can still be paid. After signing a contract with the printing house, Cheng Ran and Qin Xizhen came out, and suddenly felt that the next thing seemed to be a major turning point in this career.

They will also face the balance of more than 70,000 yuan to pay, from the initial small fight that relied on Cheng Xiang's typing and copying shop to sell more than 2,000 copies of board games in half a semester, to expand to 10,000 copies of production capacity sales, if these board games can't be sold, or can't be sold in full in the payment cycle, and the sales are not good, then the problem is big.

Qin Xizhen said softly, "My senior brother in the computer newspaper replied, and the column was approved by the editor-in-chief, thinking that it was okay to try the content of the board game, and they were willing to help us act as an agent, so we will send them some samples and let them discuss and decide internally." ”

Cheng Ran nodded slightly, it seems that the "activity fee" of 2,000 yuan for Qin Xizhen's senior brother is still effective, if it is through the publicity and agency of the computer newspaper, their current channel has changed from just a small fight between Rongcheng and Shanhai, and has directly become a national channel, facing geeks who are interested in board games across the country.

Cheng Ran couldn't help but feel excited.
