The Pentium Era - South to North

When they arrived at the Tianxiang Building, it was still the same big box. After sitting down, Zhang Chen and Qu Tianlin explained the purpose of bringing Yao Fen here. Zhang Chen and Qu Tianlin said, I thought of a piece of business that no one in the country has done yet. It turns out that they are not capable of doing it. , but you have the ability to do it here.

"What business?" Qu Tianlin asked.

"Printing picture albums." Zhang Chen said, "The better picture albums we buy now are all printed abroad. The printing quality of those picture albums published by domestic publishing houses is too poor. There are only one or two good picture albums occasionally. It is also printed in Hong Kong. In fact, the business volume in this area is very large, and it will become bigger and bigger in the future.”

Yao Fen nodded and said: "Especially now that the calligraphy and painting auction market has developed and painters have become rich. Many painters would rather pay for it themselves and have their albums printed beautifully. After all, this will directly affect their reputation."

"Yes, it turns out that the cost of printing in Hong Kong is too high, so those picture albums are priced in the hundreds or even thousands. If you can print here, it will definitely be of great benefit to these domestic painters and publishing houses. Attractive." Zhang Chen said.

Qu Tianlin nodded. She had indeed never thought of this aspect and had never paid attention to it.

"This album printing is not just a printing job. Starting from plate making and color separation, you need to have a certain understanding of the painting industry. The printed colors must be as close as possible to the original work. These require a lot of effort.

"So I thought, can we let Xiao An learn from Yao Fen? At the same time, we publish a picture album of 'Paintings from the Lakeside Oil Painting Museum'. After this picture album is released, we will communicate with domestic publishing houses, art schools, and exhibition halls, and also Will be sent to many well-known painters in China.

"When I received it, I saw that such a beautiful album was printed by a domestic company, Hangcheng Sancai Printing Co., Ltd. Many people will definitely contact you."

Zhang Chen said, Liu Ligan shouted from the side, "Yes, Sister Tianlin, Zhang Chen's suggestion is very good. If this piece is done, it will be really big. Think about it, even though a picture album only has a print run of only There are tens of thousands of copies, but this is incomparable to the brochures of those units. The picture album is a thick book with one or two hundred pages. The format is so large that one book is worth ten copies.

Qu Tianlin nodded and said yes, let's give it a try? Qu Tianlin turned to Xiao An. Xiao An smiled and said, "Don't look at me. I definitely agree. I wish I could go to the Crystal Palace every day."

"Okay, then let's concentrate on getting it done. I believe that as long as this picture book is completed, your company will become famous in this industry." Zhang Chen said.

"If you all agree, I will contact Zhejiang Renmei tomorrow. We will cooperate with them to publish this album and get the ISBN from them," Yao Fen said.

"Let Xiao An follow you, and you can teach her more." Qu Tianlin and Yao Fen said.

Zhang Chen thought for a moment, and then he and Yao Fen said, "We definitely can't print one collection of paintings. We need to divide them into volumes. After the paintings are selected, we can publish the first volume according to their age, and then slowly release the following volumes. "

Yao Fen said yes.

The matter was thus settled.

After they had settled their matters, Han Emperor Liu Bang and Qu Tianlin said, Miss Qu, you have a lot of things to do up front. I didn’t tell you. My friend called me and said that the Manroland 900 has also been shipped from the Port of Hamburg today. .

"Really?" Qu Tianlin shouted, "So, it will arrive in more than twenty days? Today, the director of the Hangcheng Cigarette Factory told me that they are also waiting for this machine."

"Sister Tianlin, I have a suggestion." Liu Ligan said.

"Say." Qu Tianlin said.

"I think you need to build momentum. When this machine comes, it can no longer be so quiet. You need to make the momentum bigger. By the way, what magazines does your printing factory usually order? "China Printing" and "China Packaging" ?" Liu Ligan asked.

Qu Tianlin nodded: "Generally, I subscribe to these two magazines. The latest industry reports can be seen from here, so everyone will read them."

"Contact them immediately and place an advertisement to publicize it. It says that the country's first Manroland full-width printing press will be located in Hangcheng Sancai Printing Co., Ltd." Liu Ligan said, "The whole industry must know about this. .”

"Are you showing off again?" Wu Zhaohui said.

Qu Tianlin was also surprised and asked, "Why should I place this advertisement?"

"You also need to write above that you welcome colleagues from all over the country to visit." Liu Ligan said.

"Why, it's not enough to welcome customers. Why welcome colleagues?" Xiao An asked.

"Colleagues are customers." Liu Ligan said, "Every printing factory has many of its own old customers. If their old customers have orders for such large-format printing, think about it, they won't look for them. Who do you want to go to? Someone from abroad? Not only does it cost time, but it also costs money. I will definitely go to you to do it.

"If more colleagues come, will it be faster than finding customers by yourself? In this way, I estimate that your large-format printing business can be spread across the country at once."

When Liu Ligan said this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they felt that Liu Ligan's words made sense. Qu Tianlin also thought that this kind of collaboration among peers was not normal. Of course, they would get their own jobs if others couldn't do it. Just do it here and make some money among them.

"I didn't expect you to have a lot of clever ideas. You think very well." Xiao An said.

Liu Ligan chuckled and said, "You only found out today?"

This matter has been settled. Zhang Chen is responsible for designing the advertisements, and Liu Ligan is responsible for contacting these magazines. Liu Ligan and Qu Tianlin said, Sister Tianlin, don’t worry, even if they have arranged the layout, I will squeeze in. This advertisement must appear in the latest issue, otherwise, our test run will be postponed by a month.

Yes, the magazine is not a newspaper. It only has one issue a month. The manuscripts for the latest issue should have been compiled, but everyone here believes that Liu Ligan is not talking nonsense. Just have this ability.

…

The next day, Liu Ligan negotiated the advertisements for these two magazines. Not only did he insert the advertisements, he also asked the two magazines to agree to send reporters when Qu Tianlin and others were testing the Manroland 900. Interview and publish a report of no less than 3,000 words.

Yao Fen went to Zhejiang Renmei. As soon as Zhejiang Renmei heard about this, they were very interested, especially when they knew that there was such a printing factory in Hangzhou. As Zhang Chen said, they were surprised and pleasantly surprised. , their editor-in-chief and editorial director insisted that Yao Fen take them to see it immediately, and Yao Fen took them there.

Qu Tianlin and Xiao An also rushed to Gongchen Bridge from the company after receiving Yao Fen's call.

The editor and director saw the Heidelberg Speedmaster SM52 and looked at the effect of the printed products. The colors are full, the dots are high in definition, the ink control is precise, and the color reproduction is high, all of which are needed for printing art works. , the printing quality here is comparable to those foreign picture albums they have seen.

The two people immediately decided to establish a long-term cooperation with Qu Tianlin and his company. The two albums they were editing were printed before Zhang Chen and his company's "Riverside Oil Painting Collection Collection (1)".

Only then did Qu Tianlin realize that the domestic publishing market, which she had never been exposed to before, was in great demand. Qu Tianlin calculated that printing picture albums would be more profitable than printing brochures for units.

Qu Tianlin had already decided in her heart that after the Manroland 900 arrived, she should immediately get a four-wheel-drive Heidelberg machine. Otherwise, the Speedmaster SM52 would definitely be too late.

According to Liu Ligan, Qu Tianlin also had a hunch that the large-format printing business would not be bad, and the Manroland 900 would definitely be very busy.

And using the machine at full power to print small formats is not cost-effective from any point of view.

This Speedmaster SM52 only needs to be operated at full capacity for two months. Qu Tianlin calculated that she should have the money to buy a four-boot machine. For printing, when things go smoothly, the money will come in so quickly.

Yao Fen and Zhejiang Renmei have finalized the publication of their "Riverside Oil Painting Museum Collection (1)". The publishing house has sent an experienced editor to assist in the editing of this album. What Yao Fen and the Riverside Museum need to do That is, providing works from the collection and underwriting five thousand albums.

There is no pressure for them. This picture album can be sold in the art museum. There are also exchanges with other museums to donate picture albums to painters. Five thousand copies. Yao Fen and Zhao Xin estimate that they will be gone soon. They You still need to contact the publishing house.

…

While the Manroland 900 was still at sea, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, returned to Taipei. He stayed for a week, dealt with some nightclub matters, and then returned to Hangzhou. This time, he did not come back alone, but brought Got a young man.

The young man was fair and clean, and he was a little shy when meeting people. Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, said that he turned out to be the young master of his nightclub. Zhang Chen and the others didn't believe it no matter what they looked at. They all felt that he looked like this, and he didn't look like he was working in a nightclub. People who have been trained in that kind of place will still be shy wherever they see people.

The young man's name is Wang Minsheng, and he is somewhat related to Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty. He is called Uncle Liu Bang.

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, said that Minsheng did work in my nightclub, but it didn't last long. He worked for half a year. Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, saw that he was really not a person suitable for social mixing, so he sent him to a friend's place, the Grand Hotel in Taipei. Learn to make Western pastry and become a Western pastry chef.

Unexpectedly, Min Sheng turned out to be this talented and soon became an excellent pastry chef. The cake he made last year even won an award in Japan.

Minsheng had always wanted to open a cake shop in mainland China in partnership with Liu Bang, the emperor of Han Dynasty. Liu Bang, the emperor of Han Dynasty, also felt that there was really a gap in mainland China. He had tried cakes made by cake shops in mainland China, but none of them had delicious cakes. Not to mention compared to the cakes made by Min Sheng, even compared to the cakes in ordinary cake shops in Taipei, they are far behind.

Originally, after the Spring Festival, Minsheng was going to come to the mainland with Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, but Liu Bang left in a hurry. When he came back this time, Minsheng wanted to come to the mainland with him no matter what.

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, asked Minsheng to show his skills. Minsheng agreed. There was an oven in the canteen in the dynamic zone downstairs from Zhang Chen. They decided to cook it here. Minsheng looked at the inventory in the canteen and followed the second-hand goods to the food market. When I came back, I was very sorry to tell everyone that I couldn’t buy many things. I couldn’t make the most delicious cake today, so we had to make do with it.

Tan Shuzhen ran back specially and brought Xiang Nan and Xiang Bei over. Qu Tianlin and Xiao An also ran over from the opposite side.

Minsheng made three cakes, and Zhao Jingjing and Erhuo helped bring them up from below. Zhang Chen invited people from the finance center and design center to come over and taste them, and give them their opinions.

At the beginning, everyone was still nervous and embarrassed to take more. There were only Xiangnan and Xiangbei. Two people rushed to the front. Each of them took a big piece. Xiangnan took a bite and shouted, "Ahhhhhhhhhh" , this cake is too delicious, isn’t it? !

At first everyone thought this was an exaggeration from a child, but after tasting it, the expressions on their faces began to become richer, and their hands began to move faster. When Xiang Nan Xiang Bei finished eating and wanted another piece, three cakes They were all robbed, and everyone was laughing and joking, feeling the pleasure of eating on the sly.

Ge Ling shouted, "To be honest, I have never eaten such a delicious cake."

Many people followed suit, including me and me.

"Open quickly, open quickly, Your Majesty, it is God's will not to allow your cake shop to open." Liu Ligan and Han Gaozu Liu Bang said.

Wang Minsheng saw that everyone was praising his delicious cake. He stood there with a shy smile and said to them:

"It's not that delicious yet. If the ingredients are all right, it could be even better."
