On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Gu Wenming returned from the United States on time.

He brought Liang Yifei a small gift: a model of a Patriot missile about 30 centimeters tall assembled from brass bullet shells.

From 90 to 91, mankind broke out in the largest war since World War II, with more than 1.5 million troops from the US-led coalition and the Iraqi army, attracting the attention of the world.

Unexpectedly, in just three months, the coalition forces annihilated more than 100,000 Iraq's main force at a small cost of no more than 1,000 killed and wounded, and won a complete victory.

In this war, which has the highest degree of modernization, uses the most new weapons, and invests the most military expenditure in the history of human warfare, the Chinese people are most familiar with the Patriot missile, which is the fourth-generation US medium-range interceptor missile, which completely suppressed the Scud missile with an interception rate of more than 80 percent, and once became synonymous with the strong US military.

However, there is a big gap between the United States that Gu Wenming sees and what he imagined in China: the economy is depressed, shops are deserted, a large number of enterprises are laying off workers, and there are strikes and protests everywhere.

He bought this gift from a disabled veteran on the beach when he took his wife to California to visit a cadet.

But I also saw something very interesting.

The student he visited at Stanford University in northern California was on his way past a business district near the San Francisco Bay Area, home to a cluster of high-tech companies known locally as Silicon Valley.

At Stanford University, the students accompanied President Gu to visit the laboratory where he worked, and in the laboratory, Gu Wenming was shown something called a 'website'.

This thing only appeared in August 91, and in just half a year, there was already a lot of information on the 'website', and it was said that people in different places could communicate on the 'website' through the 'network cable' and the 'computer'.

"I think this thing has a future!" On the way back from the plane, Lao Gu said to Liang Yifei very seriously: "Do you think, the purpose of your marketing is to let more people know about the product, if in the future, if everyone can go online and do marketing on the Internet, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?"

How about doing more with less?

Liang Yifei smiled, "Old Gu, our current financial and manpower resources are still too far and too far away to make these things! Not to mention anything else, we need a computer to access the Internet, and now a computer costs fifteen or six thousand, and how many people can afford it? This is not something that can be done in a while." ”

Then, the conversation changed: "However, these students who go abroad, especially those who are engaged in high-tech, we still need to contact more, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”

"Yes, after the battle in the Gulf, the whole world knows that in the future, it is not how many people dare to die, but how many people dare to die, and what they fight is technology!" Gu Wenming said with emotion.

"You have gained a lot of knowledge when you go abroad, and it seems that you will often be arranged to go abroad in the future!" Liang Yifei said.

Gu Wenming sighed and said, "The more I see, the more I feel that let's do our own things well first, and based on the present, we can look forward to the future." I'm going to gather the teaching and research team tomorrow and try to finalize it as soon as possible. ”

……

……

After Kung Fu in Taiwan, the teaching and research work in the new era, in fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the school, Liang Yifei attached great importance to it, and later the teaching and research group was established, and began to carry out specialization.

The foundation is very solid, and I didn't start preparing from now, but I quickly finalized it and sent it to the publishing house, which was impeccable about the content, pointed out some suggestions for changes in format and wording, and passed the review after revision.

The only thing you have to wait for is the ISBN.

Theoretically, this thing is that the publishing house applies to the relevant door and then waits for approval.

It will take time, bad luck, and it is possible to wait for the first half of the year!

However, it is for pure laymen, Liang Yifei knew friends who did publishing in his last life, and knew that there was a lot of room for it.

Each publishing house has its own channels, as long as it is not yellow, not poisonous, and not reactionary, it is very simple to get a book number.

If you don't know the inside story, it's not strange to wait for a year and a half, and if you know the inside story, communicate and operate, that is, it's just a matter of a few days and a few phone calls.

The book is good, the communication operation is not difficult, and there is no need for Liang Yifei to go out, even Gu Wenming can easily handle it now, and after several consecutive 'communication and communication' with Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zheng, the problem of the book number is solved.

The next step is the work of the publishing house, printing, publishing, and entering the sales channel.

Sales should not be a worry for the new era, but Liang Yifei wants to make more money in the future, and the publishing house adopts a relatively high share, the key is that in a short period of time, it is best to let the new era of information books occupy the market before the start of school, so the new era also held a meeting.

"5,000 copies, for such a large market, it can be said that it is 'say too much', but at present, all of them are sold in Binhai City, and they will be sold out in a short period of time, that is, 'say less and no less'. Liang Yifei said.

This Spring Festival was fat and quiet, and the teachers present were in a good mood and laughed very happily.

"Boss, what do we do?" asked Song Zhongzhong, the head of the teaching and research group.

"Two aspects, let's buy a batch ourselves, about a thousand copies, and send them to students in the new era, they have paid so many tuition, this is the textbook and information that should be given to them, in addition, most of you here are teachers, and there are connections in the education circle, everyone is mobilized, let your teachers and friends help sell and sell a copy, and they will get a commission......"

While he was talking, there was a knock on the door, and then the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the doorman Lao Niu was standing outside.

"What's the matter?" Liang Yifei got up and walked to the door and asked, Lao Niu knew the severity, if there was no important situation, he would not come to disturb his meeting.

"Boss, I'll report to you a little bit of a situation. The old cow gave way.

Liang Yifei turned back to Gu Wenming and said, "Okay, old Gu, you continue to preside over the meeting, you know what to do, you talk to everyone." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the conference room sideways, closed the door casually, pulled Lao Niu to the end of the corridor, and then asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

The old cow rubbed his hands, grinned his big yellow teeth, and said, "Oh, it's not a big deal, that ...... The security guard pony caught a thief. ”

"Ahh

Besides, if you catch a thief, you can catch a thief, whether you send it to the police station or ask yourself, it makes sense, but why does the old cow look twisted and pinched?

Damn, you're not going to be killed or maimed, are you? These days, the security guards are not so gentle in catching thieves!
