"Brother Chang, how are you prepared for what you told you last time?" Wu Tian closed the ledger and said.

Although the accounts made by Chang Tianhua and Bai Jie are not formal, they are very careful, and all the income and expenditure are clear, Wu Tian is already very satisfied, but he is not particularly satisfied with the sales situation.

Although it has been counted for less than a month, it has been printed for the third time, the first batch of 10,000 copies, the second batch of 20,000 copies are ordinary basic copybooks, which are commonly used words classified according to the radicals, and the third batch is printed with 10,000 poetry stickers, mainly for the adult market, the printing cost is also two cents higher, and the retail pricing is as high as three cents and eight, but who knows that once the road was launched, it was very popular, and now the warehouse inventory is about to run out.

However, such a sales speed is still difficult to make Wu Tian satisfied, and you must know that part of this is "apportioned" through the school. Needless to say, Chang Tianhua came forward to reach an agreement with the school leaders, and sold 2,000 copies, and there were three or four other schools that also opened up the relationship, but it really counted, it didn't make much money to sell to the school, and the total score was to run some oil and water to the school leaders, which was much lower than the wholesale price, and the ordinary calligraphy was given to people at the price of one dime.

According to the details of the account book, after careful calculation, Wu Tian found that he had been busy for nearly a month, and the net profit was less than 5,000 yuan!

Although 5,000 yuan is a huge amount of money in this year, especially for Chang Tianhua, who has been suffering from hard work, it is an unthinkable number, but in Wu Tian's eyes, this amount of money is really not enough.

"Well, I talked to a couple of teachers at the school, and they were quite happy." Chang Tianhua said.

According to Wu Tian's instructions, they are going to pull teachers from several schools to form an association of "Chang Tianhua Hard Pen Calligraphy Research Association", in fact, they are instructed to give them a name, and they don't have to do any work, but they are given a "salary" of 20 yuan per person every month, who doesn't rush to do this kind of good thing?

"Well, don't just pay lip service, sign up quickly." Wu Tian said.

The reason why Wu Tian asked Chang Tianhua to register a research association is actually due to the current political environment. Although in June '81, the central authorities passed a "resolution on a number of historical issues," pointing out that "the economy under the individual ownership of laborers within a certain range is a necessary supplement to the public-owned economy," there are still endless debates at the top level, and from time to time there will be a "countercurrent," and the living environment of private enterprises still does not allow for optimism, and if they fail to do so, they will be "caught as exemplars."

Although the calligraphy business we are engaged in is a cultural industry, but after all, it is a personal benefit in the end.

It is impossible to say that Wu Tian can only follow the regular practice of private enterprises in these years and find a certain big hat to buckle on his head. In the past few years, ordinary private enterprises have been carrying the hat of "village office" and "town office" and acting as a private enterprise in the name of collective enterprises; although in the later period, there were many cases in which it was difficult to distinguish between public and private affairs, and lawsuits were fought until the 21 st century, but it was better to avoid becoming victims in the wave of line disputes in the past 10 years.

Wu Tian's choice of registering a non-governmental organization to cover up his personal benefits is naturally a tightrope, and it is important to know that according to the formal laws and regulations of later generations, non-governmental organizations are "non-profit", and even if they make profits, they can only be used for group operations, and no unit or individual may embezzle, privately divide or misappropriate the assets of non-governmental organizations, and violators must bear legal responsibility. Of course, the regulations are not so perfect in these years, but they can play a side game - Wu Tian is not ready to do this calligraphy business for more than ten or twenty years, that is, to accumulate some original capital.

"Okay, I've already gone to the Cultural Bureau and the Civil Affairs Bureau to ask, but it's not a big problem." Chang Tianhua said.

"Well, if necessary, invite those who have eaten or something, try to be as fast as possible, and have a signboard for the next development, otherwise many things will be more troublesome." Wu Tian said with satisfaction. Don't look at the time is not long, but Chang Tianhua's progress is still relatively large, after all, "hard pen calligrapher Chang Tianhua teacher" is now a small celebrity, plus there is money in the pocket, and gradually have confidence, and there is no stage fright in case of trouble.

"Well, by the way, Xiaotian, I wrote the article you asked me to write about calligraphy practice, you can take a look." Chang Tianhua said and took out a few neatly folded manuscript papers from his underwear pocket.

A few days ago, Wu Tian gave him a task, which was to write a few theoretical articles on calligraphy practice, but he suddenly stumped Teacher Chang. It is important to know that Lu Dao writes well with a pen and summarizes the experience of writing methods are two different things, and Mr. Chang has never thought about this problem.

Wu Tian disdained to say, you can't write, don't you know how to copy? There are more theoretical writing books sold in Xinhua Bookstore, you can take them back and revise them, as long as they are not copied in large sections!

Chang Tianhua copied and corrected, and finally came up with such a manuscript of no more than a thousand words, but he still had no bottom in his heart, and he couldn't humbly submit it to Wu Tian "axe".

Now in Chang Tianhua's eyes, he no longer treats Wu Tian as a child, this kid is not an ordinary little prodigy, shrewd is not like not talking, many opinions and methods of doing things are quite sophisticated, compared to some old oilmen who have been mixed with society for many years, and unconsciously let Chang Tianhua often ignore his age, but treat him as a peer, or even a teacher.

"Well, it's not bad." Wu Tian said, asked Chang Tianhua for a pen again, and revised it on the manuscript, but Wu Tian did not revise Chang Tianhua's article, but added a few paragraphs at the beginning and end.

In Wu Tian's view, the writing skills of the article are not important at all, and even the quality of the words printed on the copybook is not very important, as long as the writing is almost the same, can be handled, and can be recognized by most people, the real important thing is "hype"!

What kind of great calligrapher, is nothing more than the industry people are popular, ordinary people who don't know the truth follow the trend, naturally become a great calligrapher, really in terms of artistic achievements, thousands of years of history only a few great calligraphers? How can modern people easily surpass it? However, there are many contemporary calligraphers whose works can be sold for sky-high prices!

So, hype is king.

Since Wu Tian is not satisfied with the current sales results, of course, he has to add more force to Chang Tianhua's hype!

Wu Tianbi changed the manuscript and said, "Okay, you copy this article again, and let's go to the newspaper office together tomorrow afternoon......
