Five hundred and fiftieth chapters itchy
Shi Gui's Publishing House is located under the Publishing House of China Silk Road Company. Strictly speaking, it is actually just a book company.
Like many book companies in later generations, this company also relies on educational publications to make profits. Of course, he also published some famous novels and other works from the crowd.
The early 1980s was a season of lack of knowledge. If it were two years earlier, it would be difficult for everyone to find a book to read. When the mobile book sales station at Peking University was first opened, it was crowded with people, and people who wanted to buy books could not even squeeze in.
However, after two years of development, by the current 1984, the lack of books has been alleviated to a certain extent. People no longer want to buy anything when they see it, and Shigui's book company inevitably has a backlog.
Fortunately, the several sets of test papers Yang Rui made for him were very easy to sell. In addition, Shi Gui could get some orders for Shishi from time to time, which was considered a small profit.
However, compared with other industries of his time, these benefits are too few.
Not to mention how much money the reseller approval documents earns, other people who go into business, whether they sell furniture, electrical appliances, or clothes, make more money than them. As for furniture, clothes, or electrical appliances, they make more money. This is truly an era when industrial development is prosperous.
Among all industries, it is difficult to make money by publishing. On the one hand, they have to pay copyright fees, and on the other hand, they have to be squeezed by the Xinhua Bookstore system. In addition, the paper required for printing is also a control material, and it is not easy to get a suitable price.
Finally, the pressure on publishing houses and book companies was comprehensive. In the 1980s, people were too poor and every penny was saved from their mouths. If the books they wanted to buy were pirated, most people would save the few cents without hesitation. It would be better to cut a small piece of meat for adults and children at home to make soup. As for the poor paper of pirated books and unclear handwriting, it doesn’t matter to the Chinese who have long been used to patience.
Shi Gui naturally became less and less fun to do such a business.
Of course, it would be a pity to give up. After all, those who do cultural industries can also raise their heads higher when they go out. Moreover, the company is profitable after all. If it loses, Shi Gui will find a way to shut it down. However, in the case of profit, Shi Gui still has to continue to maintain this business.
He had just tried the waters successfully, and he had more of his own printing factory than ordinary book companies, so he was reluctant to throw away this stall.
However, Shi Gui was not happy to reinvest the money he earned into the publishing industry, expand production, and increase the development of book varieties.
For him, it would be fine if this publisher could maintain its current profitability, but the remaining money would be better than doing more profitable businesses, such as the catering industry he is familiar with.
Shi Gui still remembers how happy his profit was when he was in a small restaurant in the town.
Now, whether it is a book company or a buffet restaurant, Shi Gui depends on Yang Rui's help. The Niu, who was asked about her well-being by Comrade Yang Rui, is naturally a protected target.
Shi Gui didn't even charge a penny for Li Wenqiang's book number. How much did he buy it or how much did he sell it to him.
However, there is no way to print and sell. Shi Gui's book company has not sold academic monographs yet. In fact, most book companies do not sell academic monographs. Very few of these things can make money, and even if they can make money, they don't make much.
If it is in a developed country, libraries and research institutions in various places will order some academic monographs, and the price will be higher, and the business will be barely done. China does not have such conditions. In addition to special publishing houses, Xinhua Bookstores will not enter such academic monographs. For example, little-known primary school scholars like Li Wenqiang can only bear their own profits and losses.
In short, Shi Gui printed hundreds of books for him, and Li Wenqiang found a way to sell them himself, and he earned himself any amount of money.
The reason why hundreds of copies were printed was that the printing factory had the minimum number of printing books. In this regard, Shi Gui also gave Li Wenqiang preferential conditions, with a minimum printing of 300 copies.
Although there are discounts in all aspects, the final calculation is 10,000 yuan.
Li Wenqiang was willful when he patted his chest, but when he paid for it, he felt sore. When he returned to the laboratory, he kept sighing: "My wife said she was buying a house before, but I blocked her and said she would save some money before buying it. Now it's time to do it, so don't think about it."
"There is not enough to buy a house with more than 10,000 left?" Yang Rui wandered around the laboratory. These days are important time to get started. Which method to use to do the experiment and what matters to pay attention to in the laboratory are all necessary to understand each other.
The reason why graduate or doctoral supervisors in the school like their students is that they can reduce the time to run in and increase the coordination.
When doing an experiment, the students taught by different tutors may not be able to do it. If it is from the same school, because the laboratories communicate with each other, the methods are similar, and the gap between different schools will be big, especially some local methods, which may be okay at Nanjing University, but it will probably be difficult to go to Fudan University. If you go to Nankai University, the teacher will probably start to scold you: Are you doing the experiment like this? Is the experimental materials so useless? Who taught you to do the experiment like this? Call him here!
If Yang Rui needs ready-made researchers, he cannot be as picky as the school tutors, especially the few people, from all over the world, including Dalian and Xiamen, who have different methods of doing experiments. Moreover, Li Wenqiang and others are all in their thirties, so they can only be familiar with each other and understand each other, and then let them learn other methods. This is basically unlikely, even better methods.
This kind of thing takes a lot of time for researchers who don’t know each other to work together. The room is full of low-emotional intelligence varieties. Instead of waiting for them to find their father when they are unhappy, Yang Rui might as well appear directly.
In addition to showing the research level, Yang Rui's main job is to chat and solve problems.
Li Wenqiang was more skilled in the experiment than Tu Xian. After a few days, he cooperated with Huang Mao well. He added materials to the automatic amino acid analyzer and said, "We paid back several thousand yuan for foreign debts, which is considered to be a settlement of the accounts of the previous years. I left some of the remaining money. If I wanted to buy a yard, it would not be enough."
“How big is the yard not enough?”
"Even a small courtyard is not considered a courtyard. Only two-sided rooms are fully employed. There is no house in the south and half a house on the west. Just such a house costs nearly 10,000 yuan." Li Wenqiang shook his head when he said this: "The houses in Beijing are so expensive. If you put them there, you can buy a large courtyard wall for 3,000 yuan."
Zhang Xuetong is the oldest in the entire laboratory and smiled and said, "How can you compare with Beijing? There are countless more people in just one population."
"We don't have to live in Beijing. We can do it in front of the school, but there is no house." Li Wenqiang said and looked at Yang Rui and smiled, "Boss, do we have houses in our laboratory?"
"Reduce your salary to 150 yuan and you will get a house." Yang Rui said tactfully: "According to the rules of Peking University, those who have worked for more than five years can be divided into houses, and double-employed people will get extra points."
Several people laughed. Their salaries are now over 1,000 yuan. Even if the houses in Beijing are expensive, they can afford them. It's just a matter of time.
Wang Xiaoyun said even more enviously and jealously: "Old Li, your book is about to be published, so why do you care about the house? If I could change the house I live in, I would be willing to."
Li Wenqiang grinned twice, and then continued to complain: "Publication needs to be published, but Xinhua Bookstore does not accept it, and I don't know where to sell it..."
"I can't sell it and give it to me, I'll collect it for you. Oh, when will I publish this book, boss!"
Yang Rui curled his lips: "You have to write a book first."
"If you write it, give it?"
"Old Li is at his own expense. If you get a salary of 150 a month, I'll pay it to you."
"Then forget it, I'll find a way myself." Wang Xiaoyun lowered her head, but suddenly the idea of publishing a book at her own expense suddenly surged in her heart.
In fact, not only him, but also others in the laboratory, have the intention to publish books.
Chinese people value "Live Words". If they are local factories and mines, they will be excited to show off for several days if they can publish a tofu piece article in the newspaper. They are a little more reserved at school, but if anyone writes a book, they will definitely show off.
In the 1984, except for Yang Rui's laboratory that could pay hundreds or thousands of yuan, ordinary research institutes could not afford to eat, and publishing books at their own expense was not popular at all, and people did not distinguish between this.
Therefore, when a few people calculated that they could publish a book with just a few months' salary, they suddenly felt itchy.
Compared with their previous salary of more than 1100 yuan, they couldn't spend all the salary offered by Yang Rui. Apart from buying a house, their money could only be stored in the bank.
However, to publish a book, you must first write a book.
Moreover, this book is followed by the capital to show off, and it is for people to read.
Thinking of this, several people were unconsciously moved.
Do it when you think about it, this is almost all the qualities of the Mavericks.
