Chapter 274 Oral Agreement

1.

Since he boarded the door of Lao Xu's house in the spring, Xu Dan has been running more diligently to Shimengouzi Village, almost once a week, and every time he goes, he has to carry a lot of food and things in small bags, which provokes the neighbors to praise the old Chun's family for finding a good daughter-in-law, and the Chun Shuli and Zhang Xiulile can't keep their mouths together.

Not only that, but Xu Dan's care for spring has also become meticulous. Every once in a while, I will cook something delicious, or fried fish, or fried meat, or steamed some meat buns, packed them in a lunch box, and let Lin Xiaoli bring them to school. Or go to school every ten days and half a month, Xu Dan doesn't stay when he comes, and he doesn't say much, he packs the dirty clothes that need to be changed and washed in the spring, and then lets Lin Xiaoli bring them back after washing. Xu Dan's approach made the male teachers in the single dormitory area envious.

In April and May every year, it is the spring when I am busy with the registration of students in the art tutorial class, pre-exam tutoring and mock exams, and I am so busy every day that my feet do not touch the ground, so I am too lazy to worry about Xu Dan, and these trivial things simply follow her interest. Besides, I don't know how to refuse a girl in the spring, but I am afraid that I will inadvertently hurt Xu Dan's kind heart.

2.

As is customary, the midterm exams at Toyama Middle School should be scheduled for the end of April.

Two to three weeks before each exam is the review time arranged by the school, and this time is also the time when the review questions of each subject are distributed centrally.

But this year's Toyama Middle School has a strange thing, all levels of departments have been in accordance with the arrangement of the teaching office for two days of intensive review, the students have not seen a few review questions, even if there are three or five, it is the traditional wax paper stereotyped silk screen printing kind. Except for a few diligent teachers, most of the teachers did not stereotyped the printing of the test papers according to the previous practice, but focused on the rubber roller printing of Mr. Liang Chao.

But things are so strange, the horn of the general review of the midterm exam has been sounded, but the teachers have not received the notice issued by the teaching office to go to Mr. Liang Chao to offset the test papers. Some teachers who couldn't hold their breath repeatedly urged the heads of departments at all levels to report the situation to the teaching office. Sun Chengzhang, the director of teaching, was also helpless in the face of the interrogation of the directors at all levels, he had already reported this matter to the principal Zhao Zhiqiang, but he never received a reply from Zhao Zhiqiang. Although the printing of review questions is within the scope of the work of the Teaching Office, Sun Chengzhang does not dare to make decisions on his own, after all, it involves student fees and the financial interests of Teacher Liang Chao, and if he does not handle it well, he will get into trouble.

What is even more strange and confused than the teachers is that Liang Chao and his wife, from the beginning of the school year to the present, except for the school newspaper that has been offset printed twice in the spring, there has not been a single business at the door. Liang Chao and his wife, who wanted to make a big deal and make a lot of money in the general review of the midterm exam, could only sit and wait hopelessly in the printing room every day.

Liang Chao realized that something was wrong, and invested more than 20,000 yuan to buy back a bunch of scrap iron that could only be seen and could not be used, saying that Liang Chao was not in a hurry, which was false. In desperation, Liang Chao had no choice but to go to the teaching office to ask Sun Chengzhang about it. Facing Liang Chao, who looked bitter and depressed, Sun Chengzhang did not squeak, and pointed his finger in the direction of Zhao Zhiqiang's office with a strange expression. Liang Chao suddenly realized, he finally understood where the root of the matter was, and blamed him for being careless, thinking that if he bought back such an advanced machine, the business would rush into the door, it seems that doing anything in the education system of Hushan Town, as long as there is no approval and approval from Zhao Zhiqiang, the director of the Education Commission and the principal of the middle school, all actions and plans are invalid.

Liang Chao, who was looking for the crux of the fight, thanked Sun Chengzhang for his kindness, and Sun Chengzhang smiled and waved his hand. Sun Chengzhang has always held a kind of thinking in interpersonal communication, no matter who it is, he can help as much as possible. Especially for a "half-public and half-peasant" family like Liang Chao, it is not easy to support the whole family of five or six people with a monthly salary of more than 200 yuan.

3.

In the evening, Liang Chao took two bottles of good wine and went to Zhao Zhiqiang's house again.

Zhao Zhiqiang had just eaten dinner and was watching TV news and drinking tea in the living room. Seeing Liang Chao carrying wine to the door, Zhao Zhiqiang smiled heartily.

As for the reason why Liang Chao came to the door, Zhao Zhiqiang naturally knew it. Zhao Zhiqiang has some understanding of Liang Chao's shrewdness, not to mention other aspects, Liang Chao's practice of borrowing a huge amount of money to buy a rubber roller printing machine made Zhao Zhiqiang throw himself into the five bodies that Liang Chao admired. This is not only a matter of 20,000 yuan, but also Liang Chao's unique business vision and courage.

After the opening of Liang Chao's printing studio, Zhao Zhiqiang took advantage of the opportunity to go to the county seat for a meeting to quietly investigate the benefits and prospects of the test paper printing industry. Needless to say, in other places, it is a school in Hushan Middle School, if the amount of printing questions for students in previous years is printed, Liang Chao can recover the cost of purchasing printing equipment in one year. If you add in the village-level primary schools in Hushan Town, the income from this year is astronomical.

Zhao Zhiqiang hated himself a little that he did not have Liang Chao's unique economic vision, and if he had discovered the profits of the test paper printing industry long before Liang Chao bought the offset printing machine, would this kind of business still fall into Liang Chao's hands? Wang Xiaofang would not have to work hard to engage in the haberdashery business in the county seat, buy a set of printing machines, hire two workers, and rely on his own relationship with the education system in Huxian County, so he and Wang Xiaofang would not have made a lot of money?

Now, in the face of such a fat big cake, Zhao Zhiqiang's heart became impatient, and he didn't want to let Liang Chao pocket a lot of money so easily. Although Sun Chengzhang, the director of teaching, and the directors of departments at all levels repeatedly asked Zhao Zhiqiang for instructions on the revision questions of offset students, Zhao Zhiqiang would rather Hushan Middle School be wiped out in this mid-term exam, and refused to make a statement on this matter, he was waiting for Liang Chao to come to the door. Zhao Zhiqiang knew in his heart that in the face of a large amount of arrears, Liang Chao would definitely not be able to stay.

Sure enough, Liang Chao, who couldn't bear it, finally came to the door.

"Principal Zhao," put the wine on the coffee table, and Liang Chao went straight to the point with a little greeting, "I want to undertake the printing of the review questions for the students of our school, and I also ask the principal for approval and support." ”

"Hehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say," Zhao Zhiqiang glanced at the wine on the table, snorted a haha, and then changed the conversation, "I just don't know what Mr. Liang's fee is?"

"This..." Liang Chao groaned slightly, in fact, he had long known that Zhao Zhiqiang would have such a question, and he had already thought of a way to deal with it.

"The current price of each test paper in our Huxian area is one dime, and I want to refer to this standard to charge, after all, the wear and tear of the machine and the cost of paper, ink, labor and other costs must be evenly distributed in each test paper, so there is not much profit to be made in this way. Hehe. Liang Chao cautiously explained with a smiling face.

"Really?" Zhao Zhiqiang looked at Liang Chao coldly, "How can I hear the principals of several schools in the county say that their offset test papers are settled according to the standard of eight cents each?"

"Hehe, I was about to report this problem to you," Liang Chao knew what Zhao Zhiqiang was thinking when he heard it, he wanted to take a two-cent rebate for a test paper, this is fucking ruthless, right?

Liang Chao didn't continue to speak at this point, while quietly observing Zhao Zhiqiang's expression.

"Haha, you old Liang," Zhao Zhiqiang immediately felt good when he saw Liang Chao, "We are all colleagues for many years, how could I do such a lack of morality? Besides, your wife has no job, and it is indeed not easy to support a family with your salary alone.

Under Liang Chao's careful bargaining and step-by-step insistence, Zhao Zhiqiang and Liang Chao finally reached a verbal agreement that Liang Chao would charge one cent for each offset paper and rebate Zhao Zhiqiang's penny. Considering that the number of students in primary school classes in some school districts is small and dozens of test papers cannot be printed at one time, Zhao Zhiqiang also empathetically set a standard of less than 100 test papers for Liang Chao, charging two cents each, which made Liang Chao overjoyed.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Zhiqiang's house, Liang Chao walked towards the printing room in the dark, scolding Zhao Zhiqiang's heart in his heart as he walked.

4.

The next day, Zhao Zhiqiang asked Sun Chengzhang, the director of teaching, to send a notice to his subordinates at all levels to go to Liang Chao's printing room to print students' review questions, and encouraged teachers to ask for more questions and good questions, to ask for efficiency from time, and to ask for results from training.

At the same time, Zhao Zhiqiang asked the Education Commission Office to issue a notice to the primary schools in all school districts in the district, calling on the primary schools in all school districts to go to the Liang Chao printing room to print students' review questions and test papers.

As a result, the teachers of the education system in Hushan Town were moved, and for a while, handwritten test papers from primary schools in various school districts in all directions of Hushan Town flew down to Liang Chao's mimeograph room like snowflakes.

Liang Chao and his wife worked overtime, day and night, in the mimeograph room, sometimes only sleeping three or four hours a day. Listening to the crisp "click" sound of the offset press, Liang Chao felt a sense of pleasure in his heart like secretly "counting money".
