Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Shi Gui's publishing house is under the publishing house of Zhongsi Company. Strictly speaking, it is actually just a book company.

Like many book companies in later generations, this company also relies on educational publications for profit. Of course, he has also published some famous novels and so on.

The early 1980s was the season of lack of knowledge. If it had been two years earlier, it would have been difficult for everyone to find a book to read. When the mobile bookstore of Peking University was first opened, it was crowded with people who wanted to buy books. don't go in.

However, after two years of development, now in 1984, the shortage of books has been alleviated to a certain extent. People no longer want to buy everything they see, and Shi Gui's book company inevitably has a backlog.

Fortunately, the test papers that Yang Rui made for him are selling well. In addition, Shi Gui can get some orders from Zhongsi from time to time, which is considered a small profit.

However, compared with other industries at the same time, his income is too little, too little.

Not to mention how much the reselling approval documents earn, but other people who go into business, whether they sell furniture, electrical appliances, or clothes, all of them earn much more than him. As for those who make furniture and clothes If you do electrical appliances, you can earn more. This is really an era of industrial prosperity.

Of all industries, publishing is the only one that makes money. On the one hand, they have to pay copyright fees. On the other hand, they have to be squeezed by the Xinhua Bookstore system. In addition, the paper needed for printing is also a controlled material. It is not easy to get a suitable price.

Finally, the pressure piracy puts on publishers and book companies is comprehensive. In the 1980s, people were too poor, and every penny was saved from their mouths. If the book they wanted to buy was pirated, most people would not hesitate to save the few cents and give it to the adults and children at home. A small piece of meat for soup is also good, as for the paper of the pirated books is not good, the handwriting is illegible, the Chinese people who have long been used to patience don't care.

This kind of business, Shi Gui naturally became more and more tasteless.

Of course, it would be a pity to give up. After all, if you go out in the cultural industry, you can hold your head up a little higher. Moreover, this company is profitable after all. If it loses money, Shi Gui will have to find a way Shut it down, but under the condition of making a profit, Shi Gui had to continue to maintain the business.

He has just successfully tested the waters, and has more printing plants than ordinary book companies, and he is reluctant to lose this stall.

However, Shi Gui was not happy about reinvesting the earned funds into the publishing industry, expanding production, and increasing the development of book varieties.

to him,

It's fine if the publishing house can maintain the current profitability. The remaining money is better to do some more profitable business, such as the catering industry he is familiar with.

Shi Gui still remembers how gratifying the profit was when his small restaurant in the town was doing well.

Today, whether it is a book company or a cafeteria, Shi Gui relies on Yang Rui's help, and Xiao Niu, who is greeted by Comrade Yang Rui, is naturally also protected.

For Li Wenqiang's book number, Shi Gui didn't overcharge him by a dime, so he bought it for how much and sold it to him for how much.

However, there is no way to print and sell. Shi Gui’s book company has not sold academic monographs. In fact, most book companies do not sell academic monographs. Such things can rarely make money. Not much money.

If it is in a developed country, libraries and research institutions around the world will order some academic monographs, and the price will be higher, and this business will be barely done. China does not have such conditions. Except for specialized publishing houses, Xinhua Bookstore does not carry such academic monographs. Little-known scholars like Li Wenqiang can only be responsible for their own profits and losses.

In short, Shi Gui printed hundreds of books for him, and Li Wenqiang figured out a way to sell them, and he made money by himself.

The reason for printing hundreds of copies is that the printing house has a requirement for the minimum number of copies to be printed. In this regard, Shi Gui also gave Li Wenqiang preferential terms, and a minimum of 300 copies will be enough.

Although there are discounts in all aspects, in the end it is still less than 10,000 yuan.

Li Wenqiang was self-willed when he patted his chest, and felt pain when he took out the money. When he came back to the laboratory, he kept sighing: "My wife said before that she was buying a house, but I said I would save some money to buy it. Now Well, don't think about it."

"The remaining 10,000 is not enough to buy a house?" Yang Rui wandered around in the laboratory. These days are an important time for running-in. Which method to use for the experiment and what needs to be paid attention to in the laboratory all need to understand each other. .

The reason why the postgraduate tutors or doctoral tutors in the school like their students is because they can reduce the running-in time and increase the degree of cooperation.

Doing the same experiment, students taught by different instructors may not be able to do it. If it is in a school, because the laboratories communicate with each other and the methods are similar, the gap between different schools will be large, especially for some students. Indigenous methods may be okay in Nanjing University, but they may be enough to go to Fudan University. If you go to Nankai University, the teacher may directly scold: Do you do this kind of experiment? Are experimental materials such a waste? Who taught you to do this experiment? You call him to me!

Yang Rui needs ready-made researchers, so he can't be as picky as a school tutor, especially the few who come from all over the world, some from Dalian, some from Xiamen, and each of them has a different method of doing experiments. There are more than 30 people, it is basically impossible to get them to know each other and understand each other, and then let them learn to use other methods, even if it is a better method.

For this kind of thing, it takes a lot of time for researchers who don't know each other to adjust themselves. This room is full of low EQ varieties. Instead of waiting for them to find their father when they are unhappy, Yang Rui might as well just show up.

In addition to showing the level of research, Yang Rui's main job is also to chat and solve problems.

Li Wenqiang is more proficient in doing experiments than Tu Xian. After a few days, he cooperated with Huang Mao fairly well. He added materials to the automatic amino acid analyzer and said in his mouth: "We have repaid foreign debts by several thousand yuan. The bills for the year have been settled, and the remaining money is kept, and it is not enough to buy a yard."

"How much yard is not enough?"

"It's a small courtyard house, which is not considered a courtyard house. Only the two-wing rooms are fully living. There is no room on the south side, and half a house on the west side. A house like this costs nearly ten thousand yuan." Li Wenqiang shook his head when he said this: "House in Beijing is really expensive. , put it in our place, 3,000 yuan to buy a large courtyard wall."

Zhang Xuetong is the oldest in the whole laboratory, and said with a smile: "How can your place compare with Beijing, the population alone is much more."

"We don't have to live in Beijing. It's okay to be in front of the school, but there is no house." Li Wenqiang said, looked at Yang Rui, and smiled: "Boss, do we have a room for the laboratory?"

"Reduce your salary to 150 yuan, and you will have a house." Yang Rui said sharply: "Just according to the rules of Peking University, those who have worked for more than five years can get a house, and double-employees will get extra points."

Several people laughed hey. Their salaries now exceed one thousand yuan. No matter how expensive houses in Beijing are, they can still afford them. It's just a matter of time.

Wang Xiaoyun said with envy and hatred: "Old Li, your book is about to be published, why do you care about the house? If the house I live in can be exchanged for a book, I will be willing."

Li Wenqiang grinned twice, and then continued to complain: "Publishing requires someone to ask for it. Xinhua Bookstore doesn't accept it, and I don't know where to sell it..."

"If you can't sell it, give it to me. I'll save it for you. Oh, when will I publish a book, boss!"

Yang Rui pouted: "You have to write a book first."

"Write it and give it?"

"Lao Li is at his own expense. If you get a salary of 150 per month, I will pay you."

"Forget it, I'll figure it out myself." Wang Xiaoyun bowed her head, but suddenly the idea of ​​publishing a book at her own expense came to her mind.

In fact, not only him, but everyone else in the lab also wanted to publish a book.

The Chinese attach great importance to "creating words". If it is a local factory or mine, it will be a few days to show off excitedly if it can publish a tofu block article in a newspaper. The school is a little more reserved, but if anyone writes a book, he must be showing off.

Right now in 1984, except for Yang Rui’s lab, which can offer hundreds of thousands of yuan in salary, ordinary research institutes can’t afford to eat, and publishing books at their own expense is not popular at all, and people don’t care about it.

Therefore, when several people calculated that they could publish a book with only a few months' salary, they all felt itchy.

Compared with their previous salary of tens of hundreds of yuan, Yang Rui's salary, they simply can't spend it all. Apart from buying a house, their money can only be deposited in the bank.

However, to publish a book, you must first write a book.

Moreover, after this book is the capital of showing off, it is for people to read.

Thinking of this, several people unconsciously moved under their hands.

Just do it when you think of it, which is almost the characteristic of all Mavericks.
