Chapter Ninety-Four: Helping the Poor and the Disabled
After the home game console is assembled, it also needs to be packaged into a color box to be considered a complete product. Geng Wenyang arranged for Han Jianguo to send letters of inquiry to several major packaging and printing factories in the city, and received quotations of varying levels. There are also several other small businesses that don't know where to get the news and have also sent out offers.
As soon as Geng Wenyang returned to the Caojiajie office from Zheng Baisheng, Han Jianguo came to the door with the quotations of each family.
"Wen Yang, this is a quotation from various factories." Han Jianguo handed the quotation to Geng Wenyang and reported: "Take a look at which one is better." β
Geng Wenyang took the list and checked it carefully, most of the quotations of various manufacturers were about two yuan, but one reported relatively high, reaching two yuan per box.
Geng Wenyang selected the list of two yuan and said: "That's it, you tell their contact person, if it can be reduced to two yuan and one, we will choose his house." β
Han Jianguo glanced at the quotation and said a little puzzled: "Wen Yang, this is a small enterprise, the technical equipment and printing quality are average, how do you choose it?" β
Geng Wenyang pointed to the word welfare on the list and said: "I have been to this factory, it is a welfare printing factory in the city that specializes in the placement of disabled people. It is not easy for companies that can accommodate people with disabilities to survive, and we should support them within our means. β
"But ......?" Han Jianguo couldn't understand Geng Wenyang's idea of helping the poor and the disabled, and asked a little doubtfully: "Didn't our company just donate money a while ago?" It's not okay to donate money, you have to take care of them to work, that's a bit too much, right? β
"These are two different things!" Geng Wenyang persuaded him: "Providing jobs for people with disabilities so that they can earn from their work will not only enable them to contribute to society, but most importantly, enable them to regain their precious self-esteem." β
He continued: "Such an enterprise may not have a high level of technology, but the social value it contributes far exceeds the value of the labor it creates." β
"Although we are not a state-owned factory, we still have to have a sense of social responsibility when possible." Geng Wenyang said: "If a project like this one of more than 20,000 yuan is handed over to them, it can benefit dozens of disabled families, thereby reducing their financial burden and giving them the ability and confidence to live." This is a great thing to accumulate virtue, we have to do it! β
Although Han Jianguo couldn't fully understand, he was already moved by Geng Wenyang's chivalrous spirit of helping the needy: "I understand, isn't this what you often say when you are poor and good for yourself, and good for the world?" β
Geng Wenyang didn't expect him to pull himself up so high, and hurriedly said: "I haven't reached that high level yet, I can only say that I did my best." β
Han Jianguo disagreed: "Wen Yang, with your high ideological realm, it will be a matter of time before you reach the goal of helping the world." I'm so optimistic about you! β
After sending Han Jianguo away, Geng Wenyang said: "It seems that I will be able to start the assembly of home game consoles next month, but I don't have sales channels yet, and how to open up sales channels is a big problem that needs to be solved urgently." β
Home game consoles are different from on-demand arcade machines, and you need to find a distributor to put them on the counter and sell them. The game consoles they produce do not have a formal circulation status, and they are not qualified to enter state-run shopping malls, so they can only solve the problem of sales through individual dealers.
And where did Geng Wenyang recognize any individual dealers. One of the solutions he could think of was to let Han Jianguo and others take the products to the market and sell them from house to house, and the other was to treat the game console as a book and distribute it to booksellers around the country for sale. It's just that this must be beyond the business scope of most individual bookstores, and there is a certain risk of being reported and fined.
Since Zhuang Fujin's family had not returned from Hong Kong Island, Geng Wenyang decided to go to Min Hui first to ask if his idea was feasible.
Before Zhuang Fujin's family left for Hong Kong Island, Min Hui and Zhang Minhua carried out a careful handover work, and the Wenxiao Mengyang Book Club located outside the campus of Pak Cheng No. 1 Middle School is now fully operated by her.
After the renovation of Wenxiao Mengyang Publishing House, the store looks much more novel and beautiful than before, and the decoration of the faΓ§ade is also more atmospheric and luxurious.
Because it coincides with the college entrance examination, there are not many customers who pick up books in the store. Min Hui, who was selling books to customers, turned her head and saw Geng Wenyang walking in, and was overjoyed and said, "Wenyang, why are you free?" β
Geng Wenyang said: "Sister, I'll come to see you, and I'll discuss something with you by the way." β
Min Hui said: "Okay, you go to the back room to wipe your sweat and drink saliva first, I'll go over in a while." β
"Hey!" Geng Wenyang agreed, walked to the innermost room of the bookstore, pushed open the door to take a look, and involuntarily stopped.
The room, which was originally arranged in the style of an office, has been transformed into a bedroom with a small bed, and there are two clotheslines in the upper part of the room, and a few washed women's intimate clothes are hung.
Min Hui's mother's housing is tight, and she can't even give her a place, so after the divorce, she really has nowhere to go, so she can only live in a bookstore.
Seeing this, Geng Wenyang said in his heart: "I won't go into other people's ladies' bedrooms, it's hard to stay inside, and it will save each other embarrassment." β
He saw a stack of low stools on the side, reached out and took one of them and sat at the door of the inner room, taking the opportunity to observe and learn Min Hui's way of doing business.
Min Hui is indeed a veteran of the book shop, and in a few words, she persuaded a middle-aged couple to willingly pay for an expensive set of study materials.
Geng Wenyang secretly sighed: "There are also tricks to selling things, different people have to use different words, and the ability to watch people put dishes on the plate is not something that everyone can learn." β
After the payment of the book was completed, Min Hui shouted at the store: "Xiao Li, you come to the front and watch." β
"Hey!" The tall, thin guy with black-rimmed glasses I had seen before hurried to the front desk. Min Hui turned around and came to the inner room, and saw Geng Wenyang sitting outside the door and didn't go in, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Wenyang, it's weird hot outside, why don't you go in and blow the fan?" β
"Sister, I'll just sit here." Geng Wenyang prevaricated: "It's just time to learn how to buy and sell in bookstores." β
"What are you polite to me?" Min Hui opened the door and said, "Come in, it's not an outsider." β
Under the difficulty of graciousness, Geng Wenyang had to put the low stool back in its place and followed her into the room.
As soon as Min Hui entered the door, he saw that several of his washed underwear were hanging on a rope to dry, and said in his heart: "No wonder Wen Yang refuses to come in, this guy is really honest and cute." β
She took the clothes into the basin and stuffed them under the bed, pressed the floor fan, and then carried a chair and said, "Sit down, the room is a little messy, don't care." β
"Hmm." Geng Wenyang agreed and sat down on the chair, and asked casually, "Sister, is it convenient to live here?" β
"Convenient, why is it inconvenient?" Min Hui raised his hand and combed the hair on his forehead, and said with a smile: "There is a bathroom in the bookstore, and you are not afraid of bad people coming in when you close the door at night." β
"Where's eating?" Geng Wenyang did not see pots and pans in the bookstore, and guessed that she could only rely on the restaurant outside to solve her three meals a day.
"There's a small restaurant around here." Min Hui smiled: "Our store is full of books, and I don't dare to open fire if I want to." β
Geng Wenyang noticed that she was smiling with joy on her eyebrows, knowing that it was a heartfelt laughter, it seemed that Min Hui had temporarily gotten rid of the haze brought by Shao Zhengyong in the previous half a year, and regained her confident and beautiful state.
