Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

The four of them spent a day checking their handwriting, and basically listed the pros and cons. There were more than a dozen names that could not be determined. Yang Rui planned to stay in the backup team and wait for observation.

At this point, the preparatory work was basically completed. Yang Rui took the manuscript of the first volume of New Concept English and went directly down the mountain to find his cousin.

In the 1980s, the profit of printing books was very high, especially the profit of pirated books was even higher, often accounting for more than 50% of the cost, and in some cases 200%.

The same is New Concept English. Several domestic publishing houses have printed a lot without authorization. Extremely high administrative costs, and millions of profits.

Yang Rui didn't want to be able to compete with such large publishing houses, he just fell in love with the one-acre three-point land near Xixian County. Considering the fate of the senior pirates Huo Laosi and others, Yang Rui chose Shi Gui as his own this time. The middleman, all the work of dealing with the outside world is entrusted to him.

Although Shi Gui was also a smart person, he didn't go as far as Yang Rui thought. Instead, he was secretly happy, hoping that after he contacted the other party's printing factory, he would also be able to keep a personal connection.

The two have their own ideas, but they cooperate well.

Duan Hang took Shi Gui to admit the door, and the latter had two drinks with the director of Jiefang Printing Factory, and then he understood the other party's needs.

When Shi Gui came back to report, he was still dazed, as if he had a walnut stuffed in his mouth, and said, "The grandson wants 1,000 yuan.

"What?" Yang Rui was temporarily living in Duan Hang's dormitory, and he was shocked when he heard the number, and asked, "Is it 1,000 yuan?"

"Yes. Black?" Hearing this number on the wine table, Shi Gui drank two glasses of wine to suppress his shock.

To put it bluntly, 1,000 yuan is not much. The half-month profit of the Ruixue group is nothing more than Yang Rui’s estimated one-fifth of the profit from the first volume of New Concept English. Additional two years' salary.

However, the prices of products in different years are different, and the same is true for bribery. In 1982, there were not many officials who took the initiative to ask for bribes, but the number was very small. People's so-called "back door" usually meant two bottles of wine and two cigarettes, and the price ranged from a few dozen yuan to as many as tens of yuan.

According to the best standards, two bottles of Moutai and two Zhonghua can’t reach the standard of 100 yuan. It’s nothing more than the rareness of things and the difficulty of finding tickets.

on the other hand,

In Chinese society, where the commodity economy has not even started, people don’t have a lot of money to live on. If you spend 1,000 yuan for a wedding or a two-month trip to the mainland, there is no problem at all.

Before the merchants began to corrupt the party cadres with RMB, it was beyond Yang Rui's expectation that the master who dared to ask for 1,000 yuan.

"Give it?" Shi Gui asked with faint expectations. He couldn't afford such an expensive thread, and only Yang Rui could try it.

Yang Rui kept smiling wryly, and said: "Even if I am willing to give it, I dare not give it."

Shi Gui was puzzled: "Why?"

Yang Rui shook his head: "This guy is too courageous, something will happen sooner or later. Such a large amount of bribery will definitely lead us out, and then we will be in trouble."

The crackdown ended in 1987. In other words, any crimes before that were high-risk. Although bribery is not considered a felony, when the judiciary has to use criminals to make up the number, it is hard to tell whether a felony is a felony or not.

If it was tens or hundreds of yuan in cash, Yang Rui felt that there would be no danger, and the other party might have forgotten it. But the bribe of 1,000 yuan is a bit difficult to forget.

Shi Gui was also afraid and heaved a long sigh.

"The Jiefang Printing Factory is so popular?" Yang Rui couldn't believe it.

"What's the matter? The machine is older than the factory manager, and the tasks given by the superior are often not completed. The factory manager runs outside all day, and the workers just go to work casually."

"But it's still a printing house."

"Yeah, no matter how bad it is, it's still a printing house." Shi Gui was more disappointed than Yang Rui, because he didn't have to take any risks himself, and if he sold books for a commission, he could earn much more than papers, and the quantity was also large.

Yang Rui thought about it for a while, but was still not willing to give up. There are so many printing factories in the province that it is difficult to talk about them all. It is difficult to have such a straightforward person as the factory manager. At least they have made a request.

According to Yang Rui's thinking, his social activity ability is still not as good as that of Huo Laosi. Since Huo Laosi chose this printing factory, there is a reason for choosing him...

Yang Rui suddenly had a thought, such a gangster as Huo Laosi, would he be willing to take 1,000 yuan as a bribe?

Then he is too ideal.

These days, 1,000 yuan can buy 20 arms and legs.

Maybe it was Huo Laosi who caught something about the director of the factory?

Yang Rui couldn't figure it out, thought for a moment, and asked, "Old Shi, the factory director wants money? Did you say what to do?"

"It seems to be prepared for his son. As for what to do, I don't know."

"How old is your son?"

"About twenty years old, he said at the time, let me think about it..." Shi Gui put on a middle-aged and elderly person thinking.

Yang Rui accompanied him to guess: 1,000 RMB is not enough to study abroad, and now there are very few cross-film or school selection fees. Even if there are other names, no one dares to charge 1,000 RMB... for medical treatment? A factory manager has no other rights, and reimbursement of medical expenses is not easy... This amount of money is not too much, which is really confusing.

Shi Gui thought for a long time, almost imitating the movements on the wine table, and suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I see, he is giving money to his son to buy a house."

"Buy a house? Are there houses for sale now?" Yang Rui knew he was wrong when he opened his mouth, and quickly changed his words: "Does the policy allow him to buy a house?"

"It's not a house to live in." Shi Gui corrected, and said in a low voice, "It's a cell in a prison."

"What's the meaning?"

"It seems that his son is in prison and is often beaten in prison, so he begged someone to change his class, and then he was in a hurry to spend the money. It probably means that." Shi Gui said with emotion: "When a man is in prison, he But if you don't treat you as a person, no amount of money is enough to spend. This grandson is probably about to be drained."

"Which prison?" Yang Rui estimated that Huo Lao Si also used the same method. He is a gangster who has entered the palace several times. It is also possible to find two people to cover the kid. Threat of beating.

Shi Gui shook his head: "I don't know."

"Is it nearby?"

"Of course it's nearby, otherwise where would you find someone you know."

Yang Rui searched his memory, and said: "If it's not the provincial prison, then it's Shaping Prison. If you can find someone you know, it's probably Shaping Prison."

The provincial capital prison is a prison for serious offenders, and there are more violent criminals in it. On the one hand, the management is strict, and on the other hand, the level is higher. Compared with regional prisons, it is much more difficult to find acquaintances.

Shi Gui widened his eyes and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

"I'll give it a try, you go back first."

"Then... I'll go back first." Shi Gui had no choice but to turn his head and walk away.

Yang Rui asked his cousin Duan Hang that night to inquire about it. Although the Prison Administration and the police are two systems, they are both in the judicial circle after all, and there are always two people who know each other.

If money is used, it is safer to use it here.

In comparison, the director of Jiefang Printing Factory is too rough. In the words of a foreigner, he may have a tendency to self-destruct. Yang Rui doesn't want to get close to the scope of his suicide.

Duan Hang naturally wanted to ask people, and after a round, he used six bottles of wine and four cigarettes to settle the matter.

Only then did Yang Rui ask Shi Gui to go to the factory director again to confirm the printing matters.

It was because of this relationship that the other party agreed to Yang Rui's request for a deposit of 2,000 yuan and an initial print of 10,000 copies.

However, Jiefang Factory suppressed the 5,000 copies, and would not deliver until Yang Rui paid the balance.

Yang Rui agreed without hesitation.

The cost of printing 10,000 copies is much lower than that of 5,000 copies, and in the current domestic environment, no matter the students or parents, they are all pennies and bucks. If the cost is not kept low enough, when the money is made, if some bold publishers or printing houses also learn to do it, the market for the second and third volumes will not be stable.

In comparison, Yang Rui didn't care if he took back 5,000 copies or 10,000 copies.

"This time, we need to distribute the goods from the provincial capital first..." Yang Rui still found Shi Gui alone, first explained a few words, then moved out a huge box, and said: "Here are 200 wallets for you to use. Make a gift."

"Gift?" Shi Gui opened the box incomprehensibly, and inside were small wallets the size of palms.

The wallet is made of cloth, but there is a small surprise zipper. Yang Rui bought it from Guangzhou through Shao Liang’s family. The wholesale price of each is twenty-five cents. The asking price is above fifty cents.

Yang Rui nodded and said, "If someone buys ten books at a time, you can give him a wallet."

"Buy ten copies and get a free wallet? Is it worth it?" Shi Gui stroked the cloth.

"It's a good deal. In addition, the price of the book is 1.8 yuan, which must be unified. There must also be a receipt for the gift."

"The problem is, there are very few people who buy ten books at once."

"If you have gifts, you can give more. You have to remember, you can only get a wallet for ten books, and nine books are not acceptable. In addition, the wallet will not be sold for money..."

Shi Gui suddenly said: "In this case, if they want a wallet, they must gather ten people, and those who don't want to buy it will be pulled over."

"Well, at the beginning, many people may not understand New Concept English, so they will use this method to promote sales. After they read the book, sales will be easier." Yang Rui said more seriously, "This time , you must send me a telegram in time."

"Definitely." Shi Gui shivered, and stopped touching the small wallet.
