Two days later, with the arrival of New Year's Day, the new year quietly arrived.

The Spring Festival of 1988 was in mid-February, so Geng Wenyang had a month to create at most, so he had to stay up all night day and night to catch up on the manuscript. Fortunately, the Spring Festival is approaching, and the printing house receives a lot less work, otherwise he is afraid that he will not have the energy to rotate day and night.

It was Wednesday on the day of the Xiaohan solar term, and after the morning's work was finished, Geng Wenyang leaned against the corner of the wall and closed his eyes in contemplation. Just as he was wandering out of the world, he suddenly heard Li Juan shouting in a loud voice in the courtyard outside the workshop: "Xiao Geng, someone is looking for you!" ”

"Who's going to come to the factory to look for me?" Geng Wenyang opened his eyes in wonder and followed the prestige, only to see Min Huizheng, who was wearing a pink fashion coat, standing slim beside Li Juan and smiling at him.

"Huh!?" Geng Wenyang stood up in surprise and went over to greet him, "Sister Xiaohui, how did you find it?" ”

Min Huiwan smiled and said, "Why can't I find it?" Didn't you say you worked at the Chengguan Street Printing Factory? This place is easy to find! ”

The courtyard was full of people, and it was definitely not a suitable place to talk in front of everyone. Li Juan has a good eye for Min Hui, who is beautiful and elegant, and kindly suggested: "Xiao Geng, let's go to the conference room with your sister to talk!" ”

Geng Wenyang thanked her for her kindness and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Director Li!" Thank you! ”

There is a way to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Min Hui and Geng Wenyang are only business partners who met in Pingshui, and there was no deep friendship between each other in the past, so she suddenly came to visit nine times out of ten for the next step of cooperation.

After the two of them came to the conference room and sat down, Geng Wenyang pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Sister, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Min Hui grinned and said, "Good news for you, my partner agreed to pay for you to print the book." ”

"Oh? Is it? Geng Wenyang thought and said: "Thank you so much Brother Shao!" ”

Min Hui rolled his eyes and said: "However, since we are a cooperative relationship, it is best to sign a written agreement or something, there are some things in the future of the province that are difficult to say." ”

Geng Wenyang said in his heart: "Sure enough, it is a business family, and the small abacus is really powerful." Even if there is a lure of profit, they will calculate the worst outcome. ”

"Okay!" He nodded in agreement: "As the saying goes: a brother must settle accounts. Since we want to make money together, of course we have to have a charter, otherwise it will hurt our feelings if we don't earn money. ”

Min Hui was taken aback, and said in his heart: "This guy's mind is so meticulous, and he doesn't look like a sixteen-year-old child in conversation and demeanor at all, no wonder he can write such a wonderful novel." ”

She took out a handwritten agreement from her satchel and said, "I drafted a cooperation agreement, can you see it?" If you think it's okay, we'll sign it now. ”

"Okay!" Geng Wenyang took the agreement and took a look, and was startled. The agreement clearly stated: 2,300 copies are tentatively printed in the upper part and 3,000 copies in the lower part.

The upper and lower books together need to print 5,300 copies, and at the cost of two yuan and a half each, it will cost more than 13,000 yuan to print the books alone.

In the 80s, when 10,000 households could wear red and green to cross the streets, more than 13,000 yuan was definitely an incredible astronomical amount.

"Sister, you have a little too much, right?" Geng Wenyang had to ask: "Can you sell so much print?" ”

"Don't worry about selling books." Min Hui urged: "You go on!" ”

Min Hui and his wife dared to invest more than 10,000 yuan at one time, aren't they afraid that the book will not be sold and will be lost?

Geng Wenyang shook his head secretly, continued to look down, and when he saw that the wholesale price of each book was two yuan and six cents, he couldn't help but change color and said, "Sister, the price you gave is too low!" ”

Min Hui had expected him to react like this, and said one by one with his fingers: "It's not low." We have to pay booth fees, management fees, and labor costs, which of these costs must not be costed? ”

Geng Wenyang saw that Min Hui and his wife regarded themselves as lambs to the slaughter who didn't know anything, so he had to wake her up and say: "Sister, I asked you to cooperate for a win-win situation, but I don't want to be a thankless wrongdoer!" ”

"It's true that you have a cost, and the labor I have paid is not small." He immediately stuffed the agreement back into Min Hui's hand and said, "I will not agree to such harsh conditions." ”

Min Hui saw that he was really not easy to fool, so he had to ask tentatively, "Then you...... How much do you think is appropriate? ”

Geng Wenyang said: "I have inquired, like this set of books, it is not a problem to sell them for about seven or eight yuan on the big set during the Chinese New Year." The cost of printing each book is two dollars and five cents, and for the sake of your help in financing the printing of books, I will only add five cents of profit, and then leave you with more than a dollar to increase the price, which is more appropriate. ”

Three yuan per book, and six yuan for a set of books is not too high. If the retail price is calculated at seven or eight yuan, the profit margin is at least as high as 20 percent, which is definitely a good deal.

Although Min Hui and his family always wanted to maximize their interests, seeing Geng Wenyang's resolute attitude, she was also afraid that she would annoy him by doing too much, so that her dream of making a fortune would come to naught.

What's more, for the sake of saving his life, Min Hui's initial price for taking the book was three yuan, but Shao Zhengyong didn't agree to give up.

"That's okay, three dollars is three dollars!" Min Hui decisively agreed.

When it comes to business cooperation, behind the false appearance of cordiality and enthusiasm is often a mutual calculation, and if it is too real, it will definitely suffer a big loss.

Geng Wenyang secretly sighed with emotion: "There is a way to be kind and not to be in charge of the army, and not to manage money, and the ancestors are honest and do not deceive me!" ”

The price and other figures on the agreement were written in pencil, and Min Hui came prepared, took out an eraser to erase the original handwriting, and wrote the new numbers with a pen.

Seeing the beautiful and smooth font written by Min Hui's pen, Geng Wenyang envied from the bottom of his heart: "Sister, the words you write are so beautiful!" ”

Min Hui glanced at him proudly and said, "I have won the second prize of the city's fountain pen calligraphy Grand Prix, how can I not take the words I write?" ”

Unexpectedly, although Min Hui's education is not high, his pen and words have won awards in the city, which can be described as beautiful as his person.

Geng Wenyang said: "Lao Tzu was also a graduate of a famous university before he crossed over, but unfortunately the handwriting was as unsightly as a dog's crawling. From this point of view, the quality of handwriting really has little to do with the level of education. ”

The two parties signed the agreement, and Min Hui handed him a copy and said, "The agreement is in duplicate, and this one is for you." ”

Geng Wenyang took it and said secretly: "It seems that Min Hui has signed more than one similar agreement or contract, otherwise it would be impossible to think about it so thoroughly, and even think of the agreement in duplicate." ”

After receiving the agreement, Min Hui pretended to ask unintentionally: "Geng Wenyang, where does your family live?" ”

"My family?" Geng Wenyang didn't understand why she asked where her family lived, so he replied casually: "I live in Zhuangjia Lane in the west, not far from here." ”

"Dealer's Alley?" Min Hui's eyes flashed and said, "Can you take me to the recognition door?" In the future, if something happens, I will come to you. ”

Geng Wenyang's heart flashed, and he suddenly understood her purpose, and replied calmly: "Sister, I know what you are worried about. I don't have anything to hide, I'll just say what you ask. My dad works in the bearing factory, and my mom works in the daily chemical factory, so you should be relieved, right? ”

Geng Wenyang actually saw through her mind at a glance, and Min Hui was slightly embarrassed: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I took out so much money at once, I always have to be cautious, right?" ”
