"At the beginning, I made a preliminary investigation, and in our entire Xiangbei, there are only three printing houses that can print wall calendars."

"Jiangcheng Printing Factory is the largest of them, and the other is that Jingzhou Printing Factory and Taoyuan Printing Factory have the ability to print wall calendars."

"I went to the Jiangcheng Printing Factory, but they didn't pay attention to me at all, and I called the printing factories in Jingzhou and Taoyuan, and when the two families heard that it was private printing, they refused without even asking, and laughed at me for being self-sufficient."

Lin Yi knows that the current social form is like this.

State-owned enterprises do not worry about eating and drinking, they are all uncles.

"I really had no choice, so I asked around the printing houses in the neighboring provinces, it was too wasteful of time for me to go over, I called my comrades-in-arms and asked them to help ask in the local area, not to mention, I really found one."

Saying this, Li Xiangqian became excited.

"One of my comrades-in-arms was assigned to the Yueyang Printing Factory after he came back, and he was an officer of the security section, and he told me on the phone that their printing plant had a full set of equipment for printing wall calendars, but now it is all parked."

"Their provincial orders, have been snatched away by larger printing houses, last year they printed a batch of wall calendars, originally wanted to make money, but then the sales were not good, now there are more than half of the detention in the warehouse, the more you print, the more you lose, simply stop the machine."

"I said that he asked him to ask the leaders of their factory to see if they were willing to give private seals, my comrade-in-arms and the factory director still have some relatives, so I went to the door to ask, the factory director did not refuse, only said that this matter needs to be considered."

Lin Yi's eyes lit up.

Speaking of consideration,

That's interesting.

As long as there is a seam, then we can try to squeeze in.

"Let's go, let's go to Yueyang." Lin Yi made a quick decision.

Afternoon

The two got on the long-distance bus to Yueyang.

The bus was shaky, and Lin Yi sighed that it was inconvenient to have no car, but now it was too dazzling to get a car, and it was not suitable for him.

In this case,

Then enjoy the slower pace of life.

After a journey of more than 200 kilometers, it took four or five hours to walk hard, and by the time I arrived in Yueyang, it was already completely dark.

Before coming, Li Xiangqian called his comrade-in-arms, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw someone waving his arm in the distance:

"Onward, this way."

"Satisfied brother."

Two big men came to hug.

comradeship,

Especially this kind of comradeship that has experienced the battlefield of life and death, it is really not comparable to other feelings.

"Brother Satisfied, this is Brother Yi, the big Lin Yi." Li Qianqian introduced.

"Brother Yi, at this time, I am satisfied, and the big beam is satisfied."

On the way, Lin Yi asked, this Liang is two years older than Lin Yi, Lin Yi stretched out his hand, "Brother Satisfaction, please come and pick us up." ”

"What's the trouble, let's go, I've been hungry after a day in the car, eat first." Liang was satisfied and enthusiastically reached out to pick up the bags in the hands of Li Xiangqian and Lin Yi, and several people pulled them over again before walking out.

found a restaurant for dinner, and then arranged Lin Yi and them to the guest house, the three of them lit cigarettes in the house, and Liang said with satisfaction:

"When I called forward, the basic situation was told to me, and the matter of printing wall calendars for private individuals is not illegal to say that it is not illegal, but it used to be public-to-public, and it was rarely printed for private individuals, and the leaders were also a little worried."

"Can that be flexible?" Lin Yidao.

"How can I be flexible?" Liang was a little surprised.

"For example, if you print a batch, and then the sales are not good, and it is backlogged, you can sell this batch of things to us in the name of dealing with the inventory backlog at the end of the year." Lin Yidao.

Liang was satisfied with a surprised face, and said in his heart that it could still be like this, but it was really wonderful to think about this method, and all parties did not violate the law.

"Brother Satisfied, can you help introduce the factory director tomorrow?" Lin Yi asked.

"No problem, the factory director is my cousin's uncle, so I'll talk to the factory director during the day tomorrow, let's go over tomorrow night and see how it goes."

"Of course."

The matter was settled, Liang left satisfied, Lin Yi and Li Xiangqian prepared to sleep, Li Xiangqian lay down and asked, "Brother Yi, do you think you can move the factory director?" ”

"Try it, it's a money-making thing, and if you don't make it, there's no loss." Lin Yidao.

You can't be in a hurry to do things, and you can't go all the way to the dark, so it's easy to hit the south wall with a brain show.

Following.

After dinner,

Liang was satisfied with Lin Yili and went to the house of the director of the printing factory, in front of which was a courtyard with a set of three tiled houses.

The factory director's surname is Wang, who looks a little rich in his fifties, and when he saw Lin Yi coming in with a bag, he said with some displeasure: "Come here, why do you still bring things, little comrade, this kind of behavior is not good." ”

Li Xiangqian's heart suddenly,

The heart said that this is to make the leader unhappy?

Lin Yi was not a little afraid, and said with a smile: "It's not a gift, I brought some wall calendars, which are ready to be used as the bottom plate, and I brought them for Director Wang to see." ”

"Oh, I see." Director Wang nodded quietly.

The crowd sat down.

Lin Yi said: "Director Wang, I heard that our factory has a batch of wall calendars printed last year, which are unsalable and piled up in the warehouse. ”

Director Wang's face sank suddenly, last year's printing of the calendar was sold by him personally, from other large printing houses could not grab orders, he wanted to break through his own try, but did not expect to end in failure, those wall calendars piled up in the warehouse, are slapping him in the face.

"What do you mean?" Director Wang said in a deep voice.

Lin Yi still smiled, "I have an idea to buy the backlog of wall calendars in our factory." ”

Well

Everyone else present was stunned.

Director Wang and Liang looked at Lin Yi with satisfaction, and said in their hearts that this person was stupid, but Li Xiangqian looked at Lin Yi but was not surprised, he knew that Brother Yi would not do a loss-making business.

"The wall calendar is time-sensitive, and the date of the previous year is printed on it, what is the use of you taking it?" Director Wang frowned slightly.

"I have an idea, Brother Satisfaction brought me a few wall calendars that we printed last year today," Lin Yi said and took out a roll of wall calendars from his bag, which was one of the sets printed by Yueyang Printing Factory last year.

"I have to say, the pattern you chose is really very good, such as this set, all of which are the works of great domestic calligraphers, to be honest, such wall calendars have collection value, as well as this set of ancient furniture appreciation, this southern garden appreciation, are all superior production."

Director Wang was praised by Lin Yi, his face was slightly better, to be honest, these patterns were personally selected by him, and they were all styles he liked.

"But the basis can't be used?" Director Wang wondered.

"I have an idea, you look at these pictures, they are all placed in the middle, right, my idea is that we make a second cut, cut these patterns out, and then print a blank page with only the date, when binding, these cut pictures are placed in the middle, so that it fits perfectly, and no one can tell that it is last year's model." Lin Yidao.

After Lin Yi finished speaking,

The trio's eyes widened again.

O genius thoughts,

How could they not have thought of it.

Printing these calendars, the most difficult thing is naturally to print the pictures inside, the price of ink is more expensive than paper, if you just print a date, it is too simple.

"How many calendars from last year are there in the factory warehouse now?" Lin Yi continued to ask.

"More than 20,000 sets."

Last year, a total of 30,000 sets were printed, and very few were sold, and more than 20,000 in the mouth of Director Wang were almost 278.

"I want them all."

Lin Yi's words shocked everyone.

"All of them?"

"Yes, I want it all, but you'll have to do what I said, cut it all over again, print next year's calendar, rebind it, and give me the lowest price." Lin Yidao.

Director Wang took a deep breath.

"No problem, I agreed to your request."

These wall calendars can be regarded as a failure of his, and now that Lin Yi has helped him solve it perfectly, his favorability towards Lin Yi has suddenly increased by several grades.

"Director Wang, what do you think is the right price for those old wall calendars?" Lin Yi asked.

Director Wang thought for a while, "The cost of those wall calendars is about eight yuan, plus the new time for you to transform and print, you can give a piece of five yi." ”

The accounts are counted back, and Director Wang is really a believer.

In fact, for Director Wang, he was already very happy that the batch of wall calendars that were pressed could be sold.

"Okay, a piece of five-day books, I want as many as I want." Lin Yi readily agreed.

"Director Wang, what about printing the new calendar, do you see?" Lin Yi finally put forward the biggest purpose of this trip.

"Whatever you want to print, show me it." Director Wang is now speaking in a much more accommodating tone.

Lin Yi took out a larger scroll of wall calendars from the bag and spread them out on the table, good guys, all of them are Fengru fat buttocks and big beauties, both Chinese and foreign.

Director Wang nodded after reading it,

"It's not difficult to print these, if you have a photo, you want to print whatever you want, how much do you want to print?" Director Wang asked.

"Let's get 100,000 first."

Lin Yi's words shocked Director Wang and Liang again, he printed 30,000 copies before, and there were more than 20,000 unsalable left, and Lin Yi asked for 100,000 copies.

youngster

It's really bold.

You must know that the wholesale price of printing is 81 pieces, and the 100,000 copies of the wall calendar are 180,000, plus the backlog of wall calendars that were promised to be purchased, this is more than 200,000!

200,000,

That's a lot of money in those days.
