Chapter 82: Lack of People
Zhao Lin couldn't wait to bring everyone to him as a strong man, and after pulling Dongfang into the water, he thought about it for a while before remembering that there was still an idle person. Chu Zhenhua also has a poet there as a printer, which is really extravagant.
After David took over the mimeograph machine reserved for him, although the income was not much, his life was very cool. Friends from all over the world came to him, he was originally quite famous in the literary and art circles, and now he looks like a leader in the literary world. Friends on the rivers and lakes mention Daweilai, which one doesn't give a thumbs up?
"Dawei, are you idle?" didn't open the door in broad daylight, so Zhao Lin had to look in through the crack in the door. When he was lying in the courtyard basking in the sun, he immediately cried out loudly.
David on the chaise longue shook as if he had heard a ghost scream, and almost rolled off the chaise longue.
"Open the door, open the door. Zhao Lin knocked on the door. He himself is lazy, but he can't see others being as lazy as him, so he made up his mind to keep David busy until he died.
"Da Linzi, scare me. Dawei opened the door and saw that it was Zhao Lin, so he let out a sigh of relief. After Zhao Lin entered the door, he quickly poked his head out and looked around, and then closed the door again.
Zhao Lin was startled by the sound of him closing the door, and said, "You trample on people's little girls, are you being chased and killed? ”
Dawei said with a haggard face, "It's not you yet, you're about to kill me." ”
"What about your conscience?" Zhao Lin said angrily, "I don't count if I help you find a job, and I will give you a book printing workshop for nothing." If this kind of thing hurts you, or you hurt me. ”
Dawei hurriedly shook his head and said, "I didn't mean this. ”
"Which one?" Zhao Lin looked around, the yard was actually empty, there was nothing left except a mimeograph machine, "Leave that half of the room paper cleaned, how much money do you earn back?"
Dawei said bitterly, "My friend is embarrassed to ask for money, plus I came to drink, I didn't earn a cent during this time, and I still owe more than four hundred." It's been a long time since I've dared to open the door. ”
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "It's good to forget the righteousness, a gentleman does it." You're awesome!"
"Zhenhua said, you are a big creditor. Dawei would take this as a compliment, and said with a stalk in his neck, "If you want to kill, you have to look at it." ”
"Don't pretend to me. It is only natural to repay debts. "Zhao Lin is not afraid of such hob meat.
Dawei wrapped his coat and returned to the recliner to look at Tiandao, "The things were originally yours, and the yard was also rented by you, so you have the ability to sell me." ”
"Don't really say it, there are rich women over there in Xiangjiang who like you. Zhao Lin smiled evilly and said, "How about selling you over as a male pet to pay off your debts?"
Dawei didn't expect Zhao Lin to have this trick, and immediately changed from a dead dog to a human, and said, "Don't, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old sister-in-law......"
"Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are very lively, and they gave birth to a three-year-old sister-in-law. Zhao Lin teased.
"Let's get down to business, invite me to dinner as soon as you're done. Dawei touched his stomach and said, "I haven't eaten for a few days, and if you don't come again, I'll starve to death here." ”
"If you can change this habit, you will be in business. Zhao Lin thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, there won't." ”
Dawei said, "Those people's faces are too ugly, when they came to ask me to help, they said politely without stopping, and I was scolded as soon as I opened my mouth." Who am I messing with?"
"Let's go, get in the car. Zhao Lin opened the courtyard doorway.
Pulling Dawei to Chu Zhenhua's new base, the busy scene stunned the two of them, and the board trucks pulling and delivering goods were parked outside the alley.
Zhao Lin turned his head and glanced at Dawei and said, "Will you lose money in this business?"
Dawei said, "The affairs of cultural people cannot be mixed with money." ”
"I'll talk to you about cultural people in a moment. There are too many people in front of you, you go and call Zhenhua out to speak. Zhao Lin unceremoniously threw him out of the driveway.
After a while, the two of them squeezed out of the crowd, it seems that Chu Zhenhua has gotten rid of the front line of labor, otherwise he wouldn't have come out so quickly.
"It's a busy job. Zhao Lin praised first.
Chu Zhenhua's small face was bright and said, "It's okay, it's okay." A wave of years ago, and it will not be shipped as soon as the New Year is a holiday. ”
"You packed up the things in the old courtyard. Zhao Lin instructed: "Dawei, I will take it away for other uses." ”
Chu Zhenhua still maintained respect and vigilance for cultural people, and said: "Dawei's popularity is too good, do you want to keep the yard for him? ”
"Come on. You're doing a good job here, so I won't get involved, and one person will be given a bonus of 100 yuan during the New Year. Zhao Lin glanced at Chu Zhenhua and said, "I personally pay the money, and you take double." ”
Chu Zhenhua said: "That's embarrassing." I'll deduct it directly from your dividends. ”
Zhao Lin said: "Dividends are trivial. How's that going for you?"
"There are several provinces in the Central Plains and Northeast China to lay the foundation, and those from other provinces are all taking the initiative to find it. I estimate that by the end of next year, all provinces, cities and regions will be able to sell our books. Chu Zhenhua swore a word.
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "Good job, next year find those transportation hub cities to open a few branches, just leave a headquarters in the capital, and put the printing and goods to and fro below." ”
"Okay, save those who are far away from always making a price. Chu Zhenhua immediately agreed: "In this way, the booksellers in the south, east and northwest will be blessed." ”
"It is my duty to benefit the people. Zhao Lin raised his voice and said.
Dawei couldn't help but say, "We are selling pirated copies, can we keep a low profile?"
"Those of you friends who are looking for you to print books, who thinks that you can make money by selling books?" Zhao Lin asked rhetorically, "Helping him print books without charging money is already very face-saving for him." ”
David was silent. Several of his poetry collections were printed by Zhao Lin at his expense, and they were sold all over the country, although he was not given a penny, but the huge prestige gain has made others very jealous.
I don't know in what environment the children in the big city grew up in, anyway, until after the new century, if they want to buy a genuine book in the small county town below, they can only go to one bookstore - Xinhua Bookstore.
In other places, there are pirated books, and even school textbooks are reprinted by themselves, which is not only cheaper than the genuine version, but also with the promotion of laser phototypesetting technology, the quality is not much inferior to the genuine version, and even wins.
Not only reading books, but also later tapes, CDs, online movies, game resources, etc., which are not pirated?
Watching pirated copies, listening to pirated copies, playing pirated copies, growing up like this, and suddenly someone says, "That's not right!" The normal first reaction must be "You're kidding me." ”
It will not be until the wave of economicization sweeps everything and creators earn money not on wages but on their works, that everyone will slowly understand: why piracy is not a good thing.
