The collation, plate making, and printing of the review materials and exercises were carried out in an orderly manner with the assistance of schools and factories.

A few days later, after the efforts of the school teachers, the study materials were first sorted out, and the next step was plate making. It takes three days to make plates, which is already very tight, and it was only rushed out by the director of the Ma factory who asked someone to work overtime.

Considering the efficiency of the old letterpress in the factory, Song Yuanchao selected 8 open sheets of paper for printing, which is the largest size that this letterpress can print.

8. The size of the open paper is equal to the size of the newspaper after the whole page is folded, which is commonly known as A3, and the summer vacation and winter vacation homework books that everyone sent when they were children are usually the size of this.

The letterpress in the factory is definitely much slower than the automatic letterpress printing machine of later generations, you must know that many of the letterpress printing machines of later generations can reach more than 15,000 prints per hour, and some of them can even exceed 18,000 prints per hour.

The top speed of this old letterpress press was only 2,500 prints per hour, which also required the time to add ink and clean up, so from this point of view, it could only be about 50,000 prints in 24 hours.

There are 39 pages of math study review materials according to the size of the paper, so the maximum number of books can be about 1300 copies a day, but this is only theoretical, because it also needs to be cut and bound and other procedures, the first day of trial printing finally only 966 volumes, according to this situation, the real number of books is about 1200 volumes.

Physics and chemistry have fewer pages than mathematics, with preliminary estimates of about 32 pages, and the number of books published in a day is about 1,350.

Time is very tight, there are less than two months before the college entrance examination, and Song Yuanchao must finish this matter within a month.

When the math study question review materials came down from the printing press and the finished product of the first bound volume arrived in his hands, Song Yuanchao began the non-stop sales work.

According to the previous arrangement, each was responsible for its own tasks, and Qin Zhengguo took the samples and the letter of introduction from the school to contact the middle schools in the city to promote these review materials.

As for Li Daqi and Gu Jie, they were not idle, they dispersed the news early, and started to act after the samples arrived, and good news came on the same day.

Li Xiaoyun was originally a college entrance examination student this year, and there were many people among her classmates and friends who took the college entrance examination, and when she learned that this was a business done by her brother and Song Yuanchao together, Li Xiaoyun, who had been thinking about being involved in Song Yuanchao's business, was particularly concerned.

In just one day, Li Xiaoyun helped Song Yuanchao sell more than 30 copies of materials, not to mention, Li Xiaoyun excitedly told Song Yuanchao that everyone read it after getting it, and they were very satisfied with the exercise materials in it, and they were looking forward to the exercises in physics and chemistry mentioned before.

Although the price of this thing is not low, a volume of study materials costs 5 yuan, but can this kind of thing that can improve one's college entrance examination score be measured by simple money? Although 5 yuan is not a decimal number, if the three materials add up to 15 yuan, it is basically worth one-third of the monthly salary of ordinary people, but in the hearts of the vast majority of people are still willing to pay this money.

Those who were engaged in the wholesale of hangers before set a price of 4 yuan for wholesale Song Yuanchao, leaving them a space profit of 1 yuan.

The profit from the concession is not low in terms of proportion, but Song Yuanchao doesn't care about this, because the price he originally determined is already relatively high, and now because of the urgency of time, Song Yuanchao must sell as much as he can in a short period of time at the fastest speed.

Everyone was busy with it, and their efforts paid off.

Qin Zhengguo spent a few days running almost all the middle schools in Shanghai, although many middle school leaders expressed no interest in this at first and refused, but they couldn't stand Qin Zhengguo's flickering and privately negotiated the terms, he sold it to the school at a wholesale price of 4 yuan, and then sold it to students at a price of 5 yuan, and the sales channel was completely opened.

Of course, this pricing is not something that Qin Zhengguo said casually, Song Yuanchao had already thought of this, so he deliberately printed the words of the internal college entrance examination review materials of Huhai No. 2 Middle School under the back page when printing, and also printed the words "Suggested selling price: RMB 5" below.

The thinking of people in this era is still relatively simple, with these two lines of words, although the price is high, but there is no objection to the price. According to most people's opinions, since the price has been printed in black and white, this price is recognized, and it is natural to pay according to this price.

On this day, Song Yuanchao came to the workshop early, and the current workshop has been divided into two parts.

Part of it is still produced in the original product, while the other part is mainly used to arrange printing.

The printing side is busy, several workers turn over three shifts, the machine does not stop 24 hours a day, because at the beginning Song Yuanchao according to Li Daqi's proposal to engage in a trick of "killing chickens and monkeys", so that the workers in the factory have no usual disdain for the printing side.

In addition, after Song Yuanchao and the director of the Ma factory discussed and announced that they would give the printing staff a part of the bonus and overtime pay, they immediately mobilized everyone's enthusiasm, and now all the workers have applied to work in the printing side, and there is no shortage of manpower.

"Where's Gu Jie?" Looking at the printing situation, and then looking at the booklet that had been cut and bound last night, Song Yuanchao suddenly found that Gu Jie was not there, it stands to reason that he had already arrived at this time, and immediately frowned.

"I don't know, could it be that I couldn't get up too late yesterday?" Li Daqi left early yesterday, and Gu Jie was still there when he left.

"What time did he get back last night?" Song Yuanchao asked.

Li Daqi shook his head, and was about to say something, when his eyes suddenly lit up, "It's here, Gu Jie is here!" ”

turned around and looked towards the door of the workshop, and sure enough, he saw Gu Jie's figure appearing, and he was hurrying towards them.

"Brother Song, I have something to look for you." When he arrived in front of Song Yuanchao, Gu Jie's face was slightly red and panting, it seemed that he had come all the way.

whispered to Song Yuanchao, then Gu Jie nodded to Li Daqi, then turned around and walked out.

didn't understand what Gu Jie wanted to say to him, and what was the matter, Song Yuanchao gave Li Daqi a slightly calm look, and then followed Gu Huang to the workshop.

When I got outside, I found a secluded corner, and then Gu Jie said: "I was about to go out today and met Daniel Zhang, and he pulled me to talk about things, so I was late." ”

Gu Jie first explained the reason for being late, and then said: "Daniel Zhang also made hangers before, but this is after you transferred the deal to me, so Brother Song, you haven't seen him." ”

"He is my sister's classmate, three years older than me, and he used to be an educated youth in the southwest, and he was also a ...... who came back last year." Gu Jie introduced Daniel Zhang's situation in detail to Song Yuanchao, Daniel Zhang is twenty-six years old this year, three years older than Gu Jie, two years older than Song Yuanchao, and Song Yuanchao was a young man at about the same time, but Song Yuanchao went to the northwest, and Daniel Zhang went to the southwest.

Daniel Zhang has been fierce since he was a child, he is the child king of the school, and he is not very peaceful in the southwest, and he is a little famous in the Shanghai and Hai Zhiqing.

Daniel Zhang's home Gu Jie's family is not too far away, and after returning to Shanghai, Daniel Zhang also has no job, and has been wandering around home and society with nothing to do.

Some time ago, Song Yuanchao was doing hanger trading, and Daniel Zhang didn't know where to get the news. However, when he learned the news, Song Yuanchao had basically transferred the deal to Gu Jie, and the original team had been disbanded.

Daniel Zhang had a flexible brain, found one of the team that had followed Song Yuanchao before, and quickly learned to make hangers after learning to tinker, and then pulled up several people to start this business.

At the beginning, Daniel Zhang and they made some money from this transaction, but the good times did not last long, and later because of the incident of Zhang Bin and Wang Jianjun, the business of hangers after the police station made a move was suddenly knocked into the dust, and Daniel Zhang's side had no income.

These days, Daniel Zhang and a few of his friends are doing the job of selling eggs, that is, collecting eggs from farmers in the suburbs and selling them at the vegetable market. Although this is not the first to buy and sell hangers, it can also make some hard-earned money.

At this time, Daniel Zhang didn't know where he heard that Gu Jie had started selling college entrance examination review materials, he asked someone about it, and after getting an exact answer, he decided to come to Gu Jie to talk about business.

Daniel Zhang is Gu Jie's sister's classmate, of course, he has known Gu Jie since he was a child, this is not this morning to block the door, pulling Gu Jie to talk for a long time, meaning nothing more than that he has someone to have channels, let Gu Jie give him a part of this transaction, as long as Gu Jie agrees, Gu Jie will be his Daniel Zhang's brother in the future, if there is something to say, as long as he Daniel Zhang can do it to guarantee help.

Where did Gu Jie do such a big thing, not to mention Daniel Zhang's appetite is not small, Gu Jie originally planned to send him according to the way Song Yuanchao said ten volumes, but he didn't expect Daniel Zhang to feel that this amount was too small, according to his intentions, either not to do it, to do it big.

"Big? How much does he want? ”

"He said at least 1,000 copies, and the price would have to go down a little bit." Gu Jie said.

"This guy has a lot of appetite!" Song Yuanchao immediately laughed, and Gu Jie's words made Song Yuanchao suddenly have a great interest in this Daniel Zhang.

Gu Jie nodded and said to Song Yuanchao: "Brother Song, you don't know, this Daniel Zhang has been a crab since he was a child, very horizontal, I don't dare to say directly that he can't do this, in case this kid is annoyed and angry and makes some trouble come out, it will be bad, so I can only take the words to stabilize him first, saying that I don't count this deal, I want to find someone who can have the final say." But whoever wants him to say that whoever has the final say, he will talk to whoever he wants, and let me pass on this word for him, I have no choice but to agree to ....... ”

As he spoke, Gu Jie lowered his head with a look of shame.

"You're doing a great job!" Song Yuanchao patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Harmony makes money, try not to offend people if you can, more is better than less, and you are not wrong to say this." ”

"Brother Song, don't you blame me?"

"Hahaha, what are you blaming for? That's a fact. Song Yuanchao shook his head with a smile, and then sighed: "This Daniel Zhang also looks like a character, okay!" Since he wants to see me, then I will meet, and you should go back to him early in the afternoon and make an appointment to meet him, as for the place, ....... Song Yuanchao thought about it and felt that the air-raid shelter that was used as a hanger was more suitable, although the place had been cleaned, the tables and chairs were still there, and no one would bother them.
