Chapter 552: It's Itching

Shi Gui's publishing house hangs under the publishing house of China Silk Company, strictly speaking, it is actually just a book company.

Like many book companies in later generations, this one also relied on educational publications to make profits, and of course, he also produced some famous novels and so on from the big stream.

The early 80s was a season of lack of knowledge, if it was two years earlier, it would be difficult for everyone to find a book to read.

However, after two years of development, to the present in 84 years, the lack of books has been alleviated to a certain extent, everyone no longer wants to buy everything they see, and Shi Gui's book company has inevitably had a backlog.

Fortunately, the several sets of test papers that Yang Rui made for him are still very good, and in addition, Shi Gui can still get some orders for medium silk from time to time, which can be regarded as a small profit.

However, his earnings were too small compared to other industries of his time.

Not to mention how much money is made by reselling approvals, that is, other people who go to the sea to do business, whether they sell furniture, electrical appliances, or clothes, all of them earn more than him, and as for those who make furniture, clothes, and electrical appliances, they make more money, and this is really an era of industrial prosperity.

Of all the industries, it is very difficult to make money except publishing. On the one hand, they have to pay royalties, 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 the right price.

Finally, the pressure on publishers and book companies caused by piracy is comprehensive. In the 80s, people were too poor, every penny was saved from their mouths, if the book they wanted to buy was pirated, most people would not hesitate to save those few cents, and cut a small piece of meat for the adults and children in the family to cook soup, as for the pirated books The paper is not good, the handwriting is not clear, and it doesn't matter if the Chinese people who have long been accustomed to patience.

With this kind of business, Shi Gui is naturally getting more and more tasteless.

Of course, it's a pity to say that you have given up, after all, if you go out of the cultural industry, you can raise your head a little higher, and besides, this company is also profitable after all, if you lose money, Shi Gui will have to find a way to close it if you don't get it right, but in the case of profitability, Shi Gui has to continue to maintain this business.

He had just successfully tested the waters, and he had more printing houses of his own than ordinary book companies, and he was reluctant to lose the mess.

However, Shi Gui is very unhappy to reinvest the money he earns into the publishing industry, expand production, and increase the development of book varieties.

For him, it is only a matter for the publishing house to maintain its current profitability, and the rest of the money is better to do more profitable businesses, such as the restaurant industry that he is familiar with.

Shi Gui still remembers how happy his small restaurant in the town was when business was good.

Now, whether it is a book company or a cafeteria, Shi Gui relies on Yang Rui's help, and the calf who was booed by Comrade Yang Rui is naturally also a protected object.

Li Wenqiang's book number, Shi Gui didn't overcharge a dime, how much money bought it, and how much money sold it to him.

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, this kind of thing can make very little money, even if it can be earned, it is not much.

If it is in a developed country, libraries and research institutions around the country will order some academic monographs, and the price is a little higher, and this business can barely be done. There are no such conditions in China, and apart from specialized publishing houses, Xinhua Bookstore does not accept such academic monographs, and a little-known scholar like Li Wenqiang can only bear his own profits and losses.

In short, Shi Gui printed hundreds of books for him, and Li Wenqiang found a way to sell them, and he earned as much as he sold.

The reason why hundreds of copies are printed is that the printing house has a minimum number of copies to print, and 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, in the end, it is 10,000 yuan less.

Li Wenqiang was willful when he patted his chest, and when he took out the money, he felt that his flesh hurt, and when he returned to the laboratory, he sighed vigorously: "My wife said before that she was buying a house, and I blocked it and said that I would save some money and buy it again, now it's okay, don't think about it." ”

"More than 10,000 yuan is not enough to buy a house?" Yang Rui wandered around the laboratory, these days are an important time for running-in, which way to do experiments, and what needs to be paid attention to in the laboratory, all of which need to understand each other.

The reason why graduate supervisors or doctoral supervisors in schools like their students is because they can reduce the run-in time and increase the degree of cooperation.

If it is in a school, because the laboratories communicate with each other, the methods and methods are still similar, the gap between different schools is big, especially some local methods, which may be okay to use in Nanjing University, and it is estimated that it is enough to choke at Fudan University, and then to Nankai University, the teacher is estimated to be directly scolded: Have you done this experiment? Are the experimental materials so ruined? Who taught you to do this experiment? You call him!

Yang Rui needs ready-made researchers, so he can't be as picky as a school tutor, especially the current few people, from Tiannan and Haibei, some from Dalian, some from Xiamen, each of them has different methods of doing experiments, and Li Wenqiang and others are all in their thirties, so they can only be familiar with each other, understand each other, and then let them learn other methods, which is basically impossible, even if it is a better method.

This kind of thing, it takes a lot of time for researchers who don't know each other to run in on their own, this room is full of low EQ varieties, rather than waiting for them to find their father when they are unhappy, Yang Rui should appear directly.

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

Li Wenqiang is more proficient in experiments than Tu Xian, and after a few days, he cooperated with Huang Mao quite well, adding materials to the automatic amino acid analyzer in his hand, and said: "We have also repaid thousands of foreign debts, which can be regarded as settling the accounts of the previous years, and leaving some of the remaining money, it is not enough to buy a set of yards." ”

"How big is the yard not enough?"

"It's a small quadrangle, it's not a quadrangle, only the two-compartment house is fully live, there is no room in the south, half a fan in the west, just like that, it's nearly 10,000 yuan. Li Wenqiang shook his head when he said this: "The house in Beijing is really expensive, put it there for us, and buy a large courtyard wall for 3,000 yuan." ”

Zhang Xuetong was the oldest in the entire laboratory, and said with a smile: "How can you compare with Beijing City, the population alone is not much more." ”

"We don't have to live in Beijing, we can live in front of the school, but we don't have a house. Li Wenqiang looked at Yang Rui as he spoke, and said with a smile: "Boss, do we have a house in our laboratory?"

"Lower your salary to 150 yuan, and you will have a house. Yang Rui said neatly: "According to the rules of Peking University, those who have served for more than five years can be divided into rooms, and double employees will be given extra points." ”

Several people laughed. Their current salaries are more than 1,000 yuan, and even if the houses in Beijing are expensive, they can afford them, and it is only a matter of time.

Wang Xiaoyun said with even more envy and hatred: "Lao Li, your book is about to be published, what do you care about the house? If the house I live in can be exchanged for a book, I am willing." ”

Li Wenqiang grinned twice, and then continued to complain: "Someone needs to be asked for publishing, Xinhua Bookstore doesn't accept it, and I don't know where to sell it......

"If you can't sell it and send it to me, I'll help you collect it, oops, when will I be able to publish a book, boss!"

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

"Write it and give it?"

"Lao Li is self-funded, if you get a salary of 150 per month, I will give it to you. ”

"Forget it, I'll figure it out myself. Wang Xiaoyun lowered her head, but the idea of publishing a book at her own expense suddenly surged in her heart.

In fact, not only him, but other people in the laboratory also have the idea of publishing a book.

Chinese attach great importance to "standing words", and if it is a local factory or mine, if it can publish a tofu block article in a newspaper, it will be excited to show off for several days. The school is a little reserved, but if anyone writes a book, it must be a big show-off.

At the moment of 84 years, except for Yang Rui's laboratory, which can offer a salary of hundreds or thousands of yuan, ordinary research institutes can't afford to eat, and it is not popular to publish books at their own expense, and people do not distinguish between this.

Therefore, when a few people calculated that they could publish a book with only a few months' salary, they suddenly itched one by one.

Compared with their previous salary of more than 100 yuan, Yang Rui's salary can't be spent at all, except for buying a house, their money can only be stored in the bank.

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

Moreover, after this book is the capital to show off, which is to be shown to others.

Thinking of this, several people moved unconsciously.

Just do it, it's almost all the characteristics of the calves.
