Chapter 54 Preparations
With the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination by the country, since the end of '78, there has been a nationwide learning craze, which has continued until the late 80s.
Because of their thirst for knowledge, the enthusiasm of young students in this era for learning is unimaginable in later generations, and they spontaneously collect science and education books, test papers, and manuscripts everywhere they can find, and even stand in line for a day and night in front of the education bookstore with dry food and water bottles for a textbook that has just been released, which is more than the first release of Apple's new mobile phone more than 30 years later.
Today's textbooks, tutorials, and reference materials are far less abundant than those of later generations, and bookstores don't even have even normal textbooks, let alone anything else.
The traditional thinking of the Chinese attaches great importance to education, and when Song Guangzeng was alive, he often said to Song Yuanchao: There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book.
As a high-level intellectual, Song Guangzeng was very concerned about the education of Song Yuanchao, and he also had great expectations for his future. Unfortunately, due to the special reasons of the times, Song Yuanchao failed to complete high school and enter the university as Song Guangzeng imagined, but went to the northwest to go to the mountains and the countryside.
When the education channel that has been stagnant for many years is opened, countless young people's desire to change their destiny through learning erupts like a volcano, thus creating such a scene.
In later generations, education is also a huge industrial chain, cram schools and training centers can be seen everywhere in the whole society, and Jackie Chan is the good wish of every child's parents, for the future of their children, parents have proved this with practical actions regardless of investment.
Although the school-run factory of No. 2 Middle School is small in scale and the equipment and product structure are not very good, it is not without its advantages.
Among them, as the school-run factory of No. 2 Middle School, a key middle school in Shanghai, the No. 2 Middle School behind it is its best advantage.
Compared with ordinary schools and senior high schools in other places, key middle schools such as No. 2 Middle School cannot be compared with other schools in terms of teachers and internal channels in the education system.
Not to mention anything else, just like the college entrance examination review reference materials, the archives of the second middle school store the practice papers of the previous college entrance examinations from the establishment of the second middle school to the present, plus the internal exercise papers of each graduating class, etc., these things are usually not paid attention to at all, but in the eyes of Song Yuanchao, it is an out-and-out huge wealth.
If it was said that even if Song Yuanchao had the intention to do this before, he still couldn't do it without these things. But now it's different, through the school-run factory to sort out these materials, and then print and bind into a book, once put into the market, Song Yuanchao can imagine what the result will be.
According to the negotiation (negotiation) between Song Yuanchao and Director Ma, the final one-time fee for data collection and renting a letterpress printing press for one month was 500 yuan, in addition to the cost of paper and ink plus labor at a rate of 1.5 cents per sheet. Song Yuanchao had long thought that the basic cost of a 50-page exercise book was about 0.75, plus the production cost of letterpress would need to be about 800 yuan in advance, and if it was calculated according to the printing of 500 copies of the lowest batch, the cost of a single book was 3.35 yuan, which was still relatively high.
However, the cost calculation cannot be calculated in this way, because renting a letterpress press is calculated on a monthly basis, and the cost of data collection and letterpress production is also a one-time expense, so the more you print, the lower the cost.
If there are 1,000 volumes, the cost of a single volume can be reduced from 3.35 yuan to 2.05 yuan, if it is 2,000 volumes, the cost of a single volume can be reduced to 1.4 yuan, and if there are 5,000 volumes, the cost of a single volume will be 1.01 yuan.......
With the current market demand, Song Yuanchao feels that 10,000 copies may not be able to meet it, and no one knows how big this market is better than Song Yuanchao.
This is only Shanghai, if you add the provinces and cities around Shanghai, the potential of the market is even more unimaginable.
The education level of Huhai was originally one of the best in the country, and the education of other provinces and cities could not be compared with Huhai at all, and the internal exercise test papers of Huhai key middle schools were no less than treasures in the eyes of teachers and students in foreign schools.
The so-called friend Song Yuanchao said was none other than Gu Jie.
After getting off work, Song Yuanchao and Li Daqi asked Gu Jie out to talk about this matter in detail, and then it was necessary for Gu Mingming and Director Ma to formally finalize it, how to talk about it when the time came, Song Yuanchao had already had a plan, Gu Jie nodded while listening, and carefully remembered it in his heart.
"If this thing is done well, it is no worse than building a hanger, and it can be done for a long time." Song Yuanchao's mouth was dry, and he took a big sip of the teacup.
Li Daqi on the side tilted his head and looked at Song Yuanchao, looking at him with a very strange expression, Song Yuanchao wondered what was going on with him, Li Daqi asked rhetorically: "How did your kid's head grow?" Can you come up with such an idea? ”
Song Yuanchao didn't say much, and directly replied to him with a "hehe".
"Brother Song, what are you going to do with this deal? You can't go to the vegetable market to set up a stall like you used to sell hangers, right? Gu Jie thought for a while and asked.
"What do you think?" Song Yuanchao didn't answer, but asked Gu Jie instead, and at the same time looked at Li Daqi: "Daqi, how do you think it's appropriate?" ”
After Song Yuanchao's words were finished, he drank tea by himself, while Li Daqi and Gu Jie glanced at each other and fell into thought for a while.
Li Daqi is a person with momentum and brains, and people like him can succeed in this era as long as they are given opportunities. The facts of later generations have also proved this, Li Daqi has the foundation of a successful businessman, but now Li Daqi is not the self that later generations have proven.
As for Gu Jie, Song Yuanchao didn't know him originally, and he dealt with him because of Li Daqi. After contact, I found that Gu Jie is a good person, although his brain is not as flexible as Li Daqi, his personality is very calm, as for his character, Gu Jie has also passed Li Daqi's test, it can be said that since the last time he transferred the sale of hangers to him, Song Yuanchao has regarded Gu Jie as his own team.
Song Yuanchao has his own ideas and plans, but in his heart, both Li Daqi and Gu Jie will be in charge in the future, so he didn't plan to tell them what to do next, but used this way to give them two a question.
From the beginning of the sale of hangers, whether it is the procurement of raw materials, the production in the middle, or the sales in the back, Song Yuanchao has already arranged in advance, and everyone implements it according to Song Yuanchao's plan.
But now it's different, Song Yuanchao is going to let Li Daqi and Gu Jie think about the problem on their own this time, to think and ponder how to do this well.
Song Yuanchao's question stumped the two of them at once, and at first they seemed to think that this question was not difficult, but after thinking about it carefully, they found that there were a lot of things, and they didn't know where it was more appropriate to start for a while.
For a while, the room was quiet, and the two of them smoked cigarettes and frowned slightly, thinking that Song Yuanchao did not disturb them, and waited patiently while drinking tea by themselves.
After a while, Song Yuanchao smiled and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, you go back and think about it first, ponder and ponder in many aspects, and if you can, write down your thoughts one by one on paper, and we will discuss it when the time comes." ”
"Okay, I'll talk to you when I'm done." Li Daqi understood Song Yuanchao's intentions and nodded immediately, Gu Jie naturally did not object, seeing that the time was not early, the two said goodbye and left, Song Yuanchao sent them out, and when Song Yuanchao entered the door after they left, he noticed that there seemed to be a letter in the mailbox hanging at the door, and he was suddenly happy and quickly took out the key and opened the mailbox.
