When Du Qiu walked into the library on the fourth floor, Su Wenxiu was going through the borrowing procedures for the two students, and after it was done, she took out her notepad from under the counter and reported in a low voice: "The situation is better than expected, only less than half of the students have refunded, and the rest want us to continue to complete the order, saying that the books in the printing house are not as good as ours." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The books made by the printing house are too old-fashioned. ”

In fact, Du Qiu found a problem in the morning, when he wrote on the cover, if the buyer did not specify the content, then either play classical, choose some beautiful but secluded poems, or play youth, choose some popular literary and artistic phrases on the Internet in the 21st century, the number of words is uncertain, the font is varied, informal, random writing, creating a distinct personality, unique small fresh atmosphere, very suitable for the unconventional aesthetics of young people, and the printing house to make the book is stable, written all are widely circulated, women and children know the ancient poems, the text is fixed in the upper right, and only use block letters, rigorous and regular, the same, full of ingenuity and old-fashionedness, naturally not pleasing to students.

Although the quality is better, but the consumption power of college students is very weak, in the absence of huge investment in advertising and marketing, private customization is absolutely competitive but large-scale production, you must know that LV, Chanel and other luxury goods, the annual advertising cost is in 100 million units to maintain a high-end image not to be killed by ordinary industrial products.

"Do you think we're going to do it?"

"If you want to do it, just keep doing it, anyway, there are few orders, and it doesn't take much effort. Seeing her with a look of excitement on her face, Du Qiu couldn't help but smile and reminded: "At the same time, do this without making leather to make money." ”

"I like to do this, the leather cover can't be written, it's not good-looking, it's too philistine. After all, Su Wenxiu is a girl and likes fresh literary and artistic things, so she said after a few words of defense: "Sister Huihui called me just now, and asked you to go to my dormitory after you get off the plane, saying that there is something to discuss." ”

"I guess she and your brother got a big order. Du Qiu didn't care too much, he looked at the time on the wall, and found that it was only half past nine, so he said: "I'll go to the second floor to read the computer books first, you go there to find me after work, and go together." ”

"Good. ”

As soon as Du Qiu left on the front foot, two female administrators in their forties and fifties came to Su Wenxiu's side and asked with a gossipy face: "Xiuxiu, are you talking about a boyfriend?"

"No. ”

"Oh, your face is red and you say no, you are 20 years old this year, and it is time to talk about a boyfriend, I think that young man just now is good, tall, and he speaks kindly, and he is a good match for you. ”

"He's my brother's friend, and I just know him. ”

"It's not just acquaintance, I see that in the past few days, he has sent you to work, picked you up from work, and is in and out of pairs, it's very hot. ”

"No, no, he went to the sixth floor to play on the computer, but he just happened to be on the same road. ”

"One day or two days is a coincidence, but seven days and eight days can be a coincidence?"

Of course, Du Qiu didn't expect that there would be a scandal so soon, but he expected another thing, Wang Huihui and Su Wenhai really got a big list, and it was not ordinarily big, a full 130, Su Wenxiu was surprised and delighted, and asked: "Sister Huihui, how many people are in your department? Didn't you just buy 50 a few days ago, why has it become more than 100 now?"

"It has nothing to do with me, it's all Wenhai's credit. Wang Huihui wrapped the quilt in Su Wenhai, who was full of wine and sleeping on the sofa bed, and explained with a pleased smile: "There are only about 20 people in our department, and the last 50 were ordinary office consumables, so we have to buy more spare, and the 30 ordered this time are ready to be sent to employees during the Spring Festival. ”

is so desperate, it seems that he was stimulated by his father......

Government agencies and institutions are not high-paying, but the treatment is good, at the end of each year will be in kind to the employees of the welfare, which is a lot of cats, if you can open this market, you can indeed make a lot of money......

"Wen Hai used to run the business in the printing house for eight or nine years, and he knew many people from cultural institutions. Wang Huihui obviously thought of it, she wrenched her fingers and said: "Publishing houses, magazines, newspapers, schools, etc., these are potential customers, the market is very large, maybe we can get thousands of orders before the Spring Festival, Du Qiu, do you think we should invest more money, rent a place to recruit people to do this business?"

"What price did Brother Hai give when he talked about it, it can't really be 118, right?"

"If only it were 118, but unfortunately not. Our department is a government unit, and the price is too high to be approved, so the 30 are only quoted at 68, and the actual income is 60, and the Xinhua bookstore is good, and the 100 are reported at 98, and the actual income is 78, all of which are delivered first and paid later. ”

In the 90s, the domestic system was not perfect, the anti-corruption was not so severe, and it was commonplace to eat kickbacks, but even so, the profits were still considerable, Du Qiu was not very concerned about making a notepad, but now he paid some attention to it, he carefully inquired about the details of the payment speed, venue rent and workers' wages, took out his wallet and counted, and found that he still had more than 700 yuan, so he clapped the board and said:" The more than 3,000 yuan earned a few days ago will not pay dividends first, all of them will be converted into investments, and each person will take another 500 yuan out, so that there is a total of about 6,000 yuan of capital, renting two houses, and hiring a few employees, which should be enough. ”

"I don't need to hire someone, can I ask for leave, and if we do it at night, we can do more than 40 orders a day, and these orders will be completed in three days." ”

"Now there are not many days left before the Spring Festival, and we need to increase production and sales as much as possible. Du Qiu ate a trench and grew wise, and explained: "Since your father can copy our notepad, people outside can also do it, this time we can't make a small fuss, we must seize the market as quickly as possible and start the brand." ”

"Yes, you either don't do it, or you want to do it, you have to make it bigger. Wang Huihui is from a professional class, thought a little more carefully, and said:" Salesmen can hire part-time, do not give wages, but the commission is a little higher, there are a lot of middle-aged and elderly women who have nothing to do in the school, we can recruit a few by piecework, and then turn into contract workers when there are more orders, so that the risk is small, not only can save money, but also can train skilled workers, when Wenhai sent samples in the afternoon, everyone in Corey liked it very much, and it could even be said that they couldn't put it down, looking forward to our early delivery, I think as long as it became famous, sales will definitely not be a problem, and there will be more orders in the future, and fewer people will not be busy. ”

"Oh well. ”

The Su brothers and sisters are all snakes who have been in the cloud since childhood, it only took half a day, and they rented two empty houses that had been idle for a long time in the school at a very cheap price, one as an office, one as a workshop, and then recruited a few acquaintances who were laid off to come over to help, Su Wenhai was in charge of procurement and sales, Su Wenxiu was in charge of training and quality inspection, Du Qiu checked and filled in the gaps, and did everything, two days later, they completed the order of Wang Huihui's unit, and recovered the first payment, although because of the rising cost and the price is too low, the profit is not much, but it is gratifying, because this represents the first step from a family workshop to a formal enterprise。

After crossing over, he deduced countless ways to make money, but he never thought that he would dig the first pot of gold by making a notepad......

Two days later, when the notepad orders exceeded 500, Du Qiu announced: "Tomorrow is Saturday, I will cook in the evening, please come to my place to have a meal, by the way." ”

On Saturday, January 14, at 6:23 p.m., the house where Du Qiu had lived for two weeks welcomed guests for the first time, and the three partners were amazed after entering the house, Su Wenhai was amazed that Du Qiu actually lived here, and the other two were amazed by the dazzling array of Japanese food on the dining table.

"Wow, this is sushi and tempura, right?"

"Du Qiu, you actually know how to cook Japanese food?"

After China's reform and opening up, there have been two Japanese drama booms, one in the early 80s and the other in the mid-90s, and in 1995, when Japanese dramas were at their most popular, the classic masterpieces "Under the Same Roof" and "Tokyo Love Story" has been broadcast on major domestic TV stations, cultivating a large number of Japanese drama fans, Su Wenxiu and Wang Huihui are two of them, sisters-in-law are natural enemies, these two girls look at each other unpleasantly many times, but their hobbies for Japanese dramas are surprisingly consistent, and often force Su Wenhai to help them rent Japanese drama tapes, and as a second-tier city with an average level of economic development, Yuncheng had almost no authentic Japanese restaurants in 1995, and even if there were, the price was not affordable for them, so it was a surprise to see Du Qiu get a large table of Japanese food。

"This sushi tastes good, but it doesn't seem to be as exaggerated as in the TV series, and when I watched them eat it, I thought it was the best food in the world. ”

"Japanese performances are more staged, and exaggerated expressions are a common problem, and sushi is just high-end rice balls, no matter how delicious it is, how delicious it can be. Du Qiu explained, while taking out a bottle of red wine from the kitchen and beckoning: "Everyone sit casually, you're welcome." ”

"Are you not doing it authentically enough?"

"You can doubt my character, you can't doubt my cooking skills, I learned it in a restaurant in Osaka, Japan, the craftsmanship is absolutely authentic, but the ingredients are really a little worse. Du Qiu poured a little wine for everyone, then raised his glass and said, "To celebrate our prosperous business, let's have a toast first." ”

"This wine tastes good, give me some more. ”

"Du Qiu, have you been to Japan?"

"Hey, Wenxiu, don't you think Du Qiu's name is familiar? Like the male protagonist played by Ken Takakura in the movie "Manhunt", could it be that he was originally Japanese and came to study in our school?"

"Ken Takakura's character's surname is Du Qiu, which is pronounced morioka in Japanese, and my name is Du Qiu, which is different. In the gossip, after Du Qiu explained a few words, he said in a casual tone: "I'm not Japanese, let alone an international student, I'm a black family smuggled back from Japan." ”

The sound was not loud, but the shock was not small, and the three of them invariably stopped eating and drinking, and looked at him sideways, showing expressions of surprise and disbelief.

"You don't have to worry, I didn't run away after killing people and setting fires, I came back to look for relatives. After Du Qiu clarified a sentence, he repeated the old trick, and told a very informative bloody story in concise and concise words: "I was abducted and sold when I was 7 years old, and the person who bought me took me to Japan smuggled me, and that person passed away last year, so I smuggled back to find my relatives." ”

If the three of them were just a little stunned just now, now they are so shocked that their jaws are about to drop on the table, Wang Huihui and Du Qiu have been together for the shortest time, they are not very familiar, and the impact is relatively small, so they reacted first, and asked with some surprise: "Du Qiu, are you kidding?"

"No, I'm serious. ”

"Damn, Du Qiu, you, you ......" Su Wenhai didn't know what to say halfway through speaking, so he raised his wine glass and drank it all, smacking his lips and asking, "What relatives do you have in Cloud City?"

"Found it, I ...... My sister and brother-in-law are in Cloud City. Du Qiu has no acting talent, can't afford acting skills, and can't shed tears, so everything takes the path of performing in his true colors, and he said plainly:" In fact, I found it on New Year's Day, but it was more embarrassing at the time, and I was timid about my hometown, I didn't dare to recognize, now after a few days of life, I have adapted to the domestic environment, and I plan to find them tomorrow, my hometown is in the Northeast, if I recognize each other, I must go back to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and I can't make a notepad for the next period of time, so please come over tonight and say it in advance. ”

"Acknowledging relatives is a big thing, and business is a small thing. Su Wenhai waved his hand again and again, and said: "It's a big deal, you go and get busy with yours, now that the sales channel is open and the funds can be turned over normally, we can hire two more people to work, right Huihui?"

"It's okay to hire people, but the problem is that there is no one to replace Du Qiu. Wang Huihui is the most business-oriented of the three, frowning and said: "Our book can get back so many orders, half of it depends on the excellent quality, and half of it relies on Du Qiu's calligraphy as a signboard, if he is not there, how to solve the packaging problem?"

"We now have hundreds of orders, and we can't produce them in the same way as before, otherwise the efficiency is too low. Du Qiu stood up, took out three drawings from the cabinet, and said, "I designed a new package, Brother Hai, do you see if the school printing house can print it?"

In order to reduce costs and improve efficiency, Du Qiu changed the envelope to ordinary kraft paper, and the cover was painted with auspicious clouds, peonies, and orchids three different patterns, and was equipped with corresponding poems, he explained: "Qingyun straight, auspicious clouds are sent to government departments, flowers are rich, peonies are given to corporate companies, orchids are noble, orchids are given to cultural units, do not need to be completely in accordance with the seal I painted, find some similar celebrity calligraphy and painting instead." ”

"Du Qiu, you think really thoughtfully, not bad, the design is very beautiful, these calligraphy and paintings are very simple, the paper is cheap, and the printing house can print it. Su Wenhai looked at it for a while, then laughed and said: "Cool! I will take 500 orders tomorrow to find the old man, and see what his expression will be at that time, hahaha......"

Su Wenxiu disliked her brother and villain, gave a big win, and then asked with a gossipy face: "Du Qiu, when did you smuggle back?"

"A few days before New Year's Day. ”

"Your hometown is in the Northeast, why did you come to Cloud City?"

"Don't just talk and eat. Du Qiu held up the plate containing the shrimp tempura, and explained while greeting: "I have a sister who is 8 years older than me, and now she is a teacher in the Yuncheng Children's Palace, I wanted to find her first, so I came over." ”

"How did you end up locked in the library that night? and you wore so little. ”

"My luggage was stolen on the way to Yuncheng, and then I ran out of money, so I sold my coat for food, and then walked to Yunda. Du Qiu's face did not change his color, and his heart did not beat, and he said in a seemingly detailed but vague language: " There are three major slums in Japan, one of which is in Osaka, called Kamazaki, the security inside is very poor, there are a lot of stowaways hidden, I once met a fellow there, he said that my sister married a college student of the 89th class of Yunda Mechanical College, and then stayed in Yuncheng to settle down, but he didn't know the specific contact information, so I came to Yunda to find clues, because there was no place to live at night, I was going to make do with the library overnight, but then I found that it was too cold, so I called you again. ”

The story that was more bizarre than the TV series made Su Wenxiu and Wang Huihui stunned, their faces were full of incredulity, and they forgot to continue gossiping for a while, Su Wenhai was relatively nervous, and he didn't care much about Du Qiu's experience, but was very interested in his things, and asked, "Where is your laptop?"

"That's really bad, the people in the after-sales service center of Yuncheng said they can't repair it, they can only send it back to Japan for repair, I let them send it, and it is estimated that they can get it after the Spring Festival. In order to protect his golden finger, Du Qiu plugged the leak with half-truths and half-truths, adding: "Although IBM is an American brand, ThinkPad is designed and manufactured by Yamato Laboratory in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, and my one is still under warranty." ”

"There are still slums in Japan, are there a lot of underworlds in them?"

"Where have you been in Japan? Speak a few words of Japanese to listen. ”

"How do you live in Japan? Did you wash dishes in a restaurant and learn how to cook?"

Hearing these messy questions, Du Qiu smiled, he was busy for a few hours, made a big table of Japanese food, and deliberately took out the notepad packaging that had been designed before, the purpose was to disturb the attention of several listeners, make the mind confused, and unable to form an accurate logical chain, this is a common method used by hackers to engage in social engineering, Du Qiu only knows a little bit of skin, but it is enough to fool two girls who are not deeply involved in the world, as for Su Wenhai, although he has worked hard in society for many years, but judging from the relationship these days, this guy is bold and righteous, and his nerves are strong, once he sees people as friends, he will not think about it, and he is not worried。

The so-called hidden trees in the forest, the background becomes complicated, the details will be ignored, in the story just made up, the most unbearable is not Japan, but the process from Japan to the Yunda Library, as long as this paragraph can be covered up, so that the Su brothers and sisters who first came into contact with themselves do not think about and ask, then as time goes by, the truth of the crossing will be hidden in the fog of history, and no one can perceive it anymore.

As for the so-called sister and brother-in-law, of course, it is his own mother Du Chunhua and his father Lin Dawei......
