Li Lin easily won the first bid for the expansion project of the Lan County Library, and in March he had to complete a contract of 20,000 books totaling 448,000 yuan.

Next, we first have to go to Shanghai to buy books, then transport them to Zhengcheng for storage, and finally transport them to the Lanxian Library for delivery and payment.

On the morning of March 2, Li Lin got up and went to the bathroom to wash, and today he will drive to Shanghai.

When brushing his teeth, his daughter-in-law hugged him from behind and said softly: "The suitcase has been placed in the car, I still recommend you to take a plane, it is not safe to drive too far away." ”

Li Lin was reluctant to pay for the expensive plane ticket, shook his head and asked his daughter-in-law: "How much money is still in the account now?" ”

Liu Pandi said: "There are about 350,000, is it enough?" ”

The total price of the order book is 560,000 yuan, and if you can get a discount of less than 5% from the publishing house, then the stock fund only needs about 280,000 yuan, and the funds are sufficient.

Liu Pandi saw Li Lin nodding, and said: "When negotiating with a customer, you must drink or even get drunk, Fei Ge and Ah Kun are both big men who can't take care of people, let Sister Qin go with you." ”

Sister Qin is the personal bodyguard arranged by the Liu family for Liu Pandi, and she is a Vietnam War veteran with a public face.

Li Lin half-jokingly said: "Your sister Qin is a fierce battle hero, I am afraid that she will treat me like a South Vietnamese devil, and your safety is more important." ”

Liu Pandi rolled her eyes and said, "You are prejudiced, I think Sister Qin is very gentle." ”

After thinking about it carefully, he suggested, "It's better to let Mina go on a business trip with you, and let her take care of you in case you get drunk." ”

Li Lin smiled and said, "Let a young girl serve the drunk boss, aren't you afraid that we will go off the rails?" ”

"Misfired?" Liu Pandi couldn't help but purse her lips and smile after understanding the meaning: "I'm not afraid, you are not that kind of person." ”

Li Lin said: "Why don't you go with me, we can go as much as we want." ”

Hearing this, Liu Pandi shook her head helplessly: "You have been going for at least ten days and half a month, and I can't take such a long vacation." ”

Li Lin said: "I mean you quit your job as a teacher to accompany me to start a business. ”

Liu Pandi's face showed a tangled face, and she stared at the figure in the mirror with confused eyes and fell into deep thought.

She also has this idea, but teaching and educating people has been her dream since she was a child, and she loves the profession of teaching.

Li Lin brushed his teeth and put the water cup on the sink: "I'm joking, don't take it seriously, I won't force you to give up your dreams." ”

Liu Pandi bit her husband's ear and said, "Thank you, baby." ”

Li Lin said: "In the future, when you have money, I will build you a school in the capital that integrates primary school to high school, and let you be the principal to realize your educational dream." ”

"Long live my husband!" Liu Pandi cheered excitedly: "The investment in running a school in the capital is too big, so it's better to start in Zhengcheng Primary School first." ”

Li Lin felt that this idea was reliable, so he first invested in primary schools and started slowly, and then operated step by step in junior high schools and high schools.

Liu Pandi said: "So we have to work harder to make money, how much can the library earn?" ”

The first target price is 448,000 yuan, if you talk about the five-fold stock principal is 280,000 yuan, the gross profit is about 160,000 yuan, if you can get four or five or even four folds, you will earn more.

Li Lin thought about it carefully and said: "Let's fight for four with five, I guess the best result is to get four or five discounts." ”

Liu Pandi said softly: "Tell me about the book, as a daughter-in-law, you must be familiar with your husband's business." Now go to the living room and I'll feed you buns, the beef buns just out of the pot are hot. ”

After coming to the living room, Liu Pandi really fed Li Lin to eat buns and drink porridge, which made Li Lin cry and laugh.

After eating, Li Lin asked, "What do you want to know?" ”

Liu Pandi said: "First tell me what a bestseller is. ”

Li Lin said: "A total sales of 50,000 copies is considered a bestseller, and 100,000 copies are considered a first-line bestseller." ”

"Oh, that's it!" Liu Pandi put her hands on her cheeks and said, "Let's talk about the pricing of the book." ”

Li Lin said: "Generally speaking, the price of a book is the cost price multiplied by four, and the cost price of a book priced at 20 yuan is about 5 yuan. If the author of this book is more famous, then on the basis of multiplying the cost by four, another 5 pieces and 8 yuan may be added, such as waste capital, alive, red sorghum, and so on. ”

Liu Pandi said: "Then the cost price of the publishing house is 3% off, and they also have to make money, so we can get a maximum of 5% off." ”

Li Lin sighed: "That's why I said that it is basically impossible to get four or five folds if you want to get four folds." ”

Liu Pandi said with a smile: "I think it's very good to get 5% off, how did you get this internal information?" ”

Before his rebirth, Li Lin worked in a pirated book printing workshop and as a delivery driver in a regular publishing house.

This was all insider information at that time, and of course he didn't want to share it with anyone.

Liu Pandi didn't ask much, Li Lin sent her to work first, and watched her and Qin's bodyguards enter the school in the car.

When he returned to the company, he called Fu Sheng to the office and asked him, "Are you ready for all the materials I want?" ”

Fu Sheng said: "During this time, Mina and I carefully analyzed the data provided by Shanghai Sanlian Publishing House and Fudan Publishing House, and found several small problems. ”

Li Lin asked, "Have you informed President Chen of Sanlian and President Qin of Fudan about my trip?" ”

Fu Sheng said: "I have already contacted by phone, and the two presidents can find time to receive the boss." ”

Li Lin nodded: "Tell me about the problems you found." ”

Fu Sheng opened the information and reported: "The average discount of Fudan Society's quotation is 5% off, but 852 books are old editions and serve as new editions. For example, the C language textbook "CPrimerPlus" asks for the second edition, but they give a quote for the first edition. ”

This is a deception, Li Lin frowned and asked: "Has the Third Union found a similar situation?" ”

Fu Sheng shook his head and said: "For the time being, I haven't found this kind of problem in Sanlian, Sanlian's books are basically social literature, and there won't be too many editions of this kind of book." ”

Li Lin put a pen on the notepad and waved his hand for Fu Sheng to continue reporting.

Fu Sheng said: "The problem of Sanlian is that the price is high, only thirty percent of the books are quoted below 5 percent, the rest are between 6 and 7 percent, and 2,114 books are quoted more than 7 percent." ”

Li Lin recorded the questions in detail in the notebook, looked up and asked Fu Sheng: "Do you have any other questions?" ”

Fu Sheng said: "In addition, the three associations do not agree to help us pay the taxes, nor do they agree to pay the relevant transportation costs. That's all, no other issues have been found for the time being. ”

After finishing speaking, he put the sorted materials on the desk, and Li Lin couldn't help but smile after reading them carefully, it seems that the work task of this trip to Shanghai is very arduous.

Li Lin said: "The next negotiations will be very difficult, do you have the confidence to work with me to overcome many difficulties and get the discount we want?" ”

Fu Sheng straightened his waist and said seriously: "Boss, I have confidence, and I have confidence in you!" ”

Li Lin said: "Pack up your things and set off now, and let Liu Meina go on a business trip with you." ”
