Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 53 Printing Finished
He Ping is fortunate that the thinking of people in this era is still at the time of the planned economy, and they have not formed the business thinking that later generations see money.The hidden danger of Liang Yuejin was solved by joining in selling goods. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse to find a partner like Liang Yuejin. Let's take a step and take a step. From the current point of view, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The people Liang Yuejin found were all his childhood friends who grew up together. There was only one old master surnamed Zhou, who had to come out to do private work because the son of the family was getting married. Including Liang Yuejin, there were five people in total.

He Ping first took everyone to a state-run restaurant outside the factory for a meal. If he wanted the horse to run fast, he had to feed the horse.

Because we have to work overtime at night, everyone didn't drink.

He Ping handed over the master copybook to Master Zhou, followed him to the workshop to look at it for a while, and found that he couldn't understand it either, so he took the letter of introduction and went outside to find a hostel to live in.

Master Zhou made a calculation for He Ping. According to He Ping's request, the cost of a copybook should be 1 cent and 5%.

He Ping did some calculations and found that there are 3000 Chinese characters commonly used by elementary school students, and no more than 1300 of them need to be able to write.The current matts.They are all in 16 format, and there are 130 characters on a sheet of paper, plus two commonly used radicals, a set of 12 copybooks is just right, so the cost of a set of copybooks is 1 cents and 8 cents.

He Ping plans to print 180 sets of pen copybooks first, and the total cost price is [-] yuan.

Of course, this money is included in the loss of the factory.Although it wasn't He Ping's original intention, He Ping didn't intend to do such things that would harm the public and benefit his personal interests.This cost is about the same as He Ping's original estimate. You must know that the cost of pen copybooks is only two or three cents, and bookstores only cost between 6 cents and 1 cents.

The current pen copybook is more suitable for students above the age of junior high school to practice, because its content is mostly text description and text structure tracing, relying on personal comprehension ability.

But He Ping’s set of copybooks is different. The grooves on the copybooks are for the convenience of children’s copying, and the meaning will be self-evident after reading the book a hundred times, so that children can form muscle memory through continuous copying, so as to achieve the purpose of practicing calligraphy. Very simple and convenient.

He Ping plans to set the retail price at 1 yuan. He is not worried about the sales of the pen and copybook. There is no shortage of parents who are willing to spend money for their children's education in any age.Even though this one dollar is equivalent to a day’s wages of an ordinary person, but buying a pen and copybook with this one dollar can make your child write better handwriting from now on, so you can say whether it is worth the money?

Now basically every commune has a commune middle school, and even more primary schools. A commune must have at least 3 to 4 primary schools.The total population of Ping County is 80, and it is conservatively estimated that the population of primary and secondary schools is at least 2.Even if only 1/10 of them bought his copybooks, it would still be a sales volume of 2000 sets of copybooks.

He didn't have a dark heart to set the price of one yuan. The cost was 1 cents and 8 cents, and Liang Yuejin and the others were divided into 3 cents. The rest was the income of He Ping and Dingtun Primary School.Among them, He Ping only wants to recover his own investment, but what He Ping is worried about is that there is no patent protection these days. The business of copybooks can be said to be a huge profit. Although there are small bosses, firstly they are timid and secondly they have little capital, so they can’t make a fortune at all. What worries He Ping most is the involvement of state-owned factories. How long the copybook business can last and how much money they can make is not up to He Ping. Forget it, it’s best to be able to take advantage of the first-mover advantage and get a lot of money, so the price should be higher.

This is also the reason why He Ping didn't get involved in it. The first reason is because he knows that the policies have been repeatedly repeated in recent years. If he really wants to become bigger and stronger without heart and soul, the idiot Guazi will be a lesson for him.

The second is that there is no awareness of intellectual property rights in this era. Once the copybook business is booming, He Ping does not want to fight to the death with a state-owned factory with background and funds in a blue ocean.

His original intention was to help Dingtun Primary School improve the teaching environment and teaching staff. It would be better if he could make more money, and he didn't feel bad if he couldn't make money.The most important thing is not to expose yourself. The copybook business is different from the chicken farm. The chicken farm is a collective enterprise no matter what. , Keeping the green hills is not afraid of no firewood.

Master Zhou estimated that it would take them two days to complete the thousand sets of copybooks from the beginning of photocopying. He Ping is not in a hurry, so he will stay here for another two days.

Taking the letter of introduction, I opened a room at the guest house next to me, and had a good night's sleep.

At noon the next day, Liang Yuejin woke up and came to He Ping.

It took a lot of time to print the master copy last night, and only [-] sets of copybooks were produced. Tonight, everyone is going to work overtime to finish printing the remaining [-] sets of copybooks.

He Ping was not in a hurry, and he couldn't start work before the factory's off-duty time. He asked Liang Yuejin to find someone to buy a deck of playing cards and teach them how to play Fight the Landlord.

There is no chess and card game like Doudizhu, and Liang Yuejin felt very novel when he played it. They played until the factory got off work and didn't have a good time.

Seeing that the time was up, He Ping broke up the game for fear of delay, invited everyone to dinner, and continued working in the evening.

It took two nights for the [-] sets of copybooks to be printed. He Ping ignored one thing when making the cover and packaging. The name of the copybooks had not yet been given.

There was a Pang Zhonghua in later generations, and President Wang was called Wang Zhonghua, who had a relationship with Zhonghua, so the name of the copybook could simply be called Wang Zhonghua Pen Copybook.

After the cover was done, Liang Yuejin and the others found cardboard boxes, and a thousand sets of copybooks were packed into two large cardboard boxes, each weighing dozens of kilograms.

He Ping left a big box for Liang Yuejin and the others. Liang Yuejin and the others were in the region. If all goes well, the sales of the copybooks should not be bad. He Ping specially spent half a day writing a sales promotion copy for Liang Yuejin and the others. This is what he thought from the beginning.I told Liang Yuejin and the others that when selling goods, we must pay attention to convenience and speed. In short, if you buy a set of pen copybooks, you have good handwriting.

This is learned from the sellers of later generations. He Ping believes that the effect of using it on people today should be good.

He Ping wrote down the phone number of the guard room of the printing factory. Now that the traffic is underdeveloped, it takes a day to go back and forth. It is more convenient to make a phone call, so that He Ping only needs to go to the commune.

With the help of Liang Yuejin, He Ping struggled to put the copybook on the bus and returned to Ping County.
