Chapter 49: Doing Bad Things Together

"No matter what others think, I support you in making a decision. After Wang Guohua made a promise, he went out to inform the members of the Ruixue group one by one.

In the afternoon, the plenary meeting of the Ruixue group began.

When Yang Rui announced the topic, it immediately attracted a buzzing discussion.

"Really let us decide?"

"Do reserve team members also have voting rights?"

"Is it one person, one vote?

The most excited thing was that the reserve team members who joined later asked questions one after another, but it was Cao Baoming and others who were silent.

Yang Rui stood directly at a table and replied: "It's one person, one vote, the reserve team members and the team members have the same number of votes, and I am also one vote." However, we have not yet determined what the charter of the Ruixue Group is, so it is fairest to use this method at present. ”

Wang Guohua immediately said: "The Ruixue Group was built by you, how can one person, one vote be fair?"

Yang Rui shook his head: "The Ruixue group belongs to everyone, what kind of charter should it be, it should be decided by everyone, we now have 76 people, and it is the right time to vote as a unit." ”

Naturally, he didn't really think that one person, one vote was fair, but Yang Rui didn't have time to directly manage the Rui Xue Group, and if he continued to control the Rui Xue Group in the form of orders, he would actually give a lot of power to a substitute manager like Huang Ren.

Rather than this, it is better to let the Rui Xue group have room to grow naturally and at the same time hold the most critical power. This is like the difference between the chairman and the general manager, the latter derives its power from the former, and the former can intervene in management at any time, which is the way to spend the least energy and gain the most power.

However, the power you want is not very effective when you say it directly. It is better to let democracy hit a wall first, and then talk about dictatorship.

So, Yang Rui deliberately did not speak and let everyone discuss.

When a student asked about the number of printed copies of New Concept English, Yang Rui said "10,000 copies" without hesitation.

The entire gymnasium was silent for a long time.

In the end, it was Xu Jing, who was very arrogant, and said: "10,000 copies, don't you want 10,000 yuan?"

"It may be more than 10,000 yuan, and the printing plant will cost money to start, and there may be additional costs. Yang Rui looked around and said, "There are four volumes of New Concept English, and we will decide the number of the next three volumes according to the distribution of the first volume. If it goes along with the lì, the profit should be about 50% or more, because the more printed, the cheaper, and considering the other costs, 10,000 copies is more appropriate. ”

"What if it doesn't go your way?" said a boy he didn't know.

Su Yi yelled "ah" and pointed at him, "What do you mean?"

The boy suddenly shrank his head and didn't dare to speak.

Yang Rui pulled Su Yi and said: "Speak freely, if you don't go well, it will cause losses, this is the question we want to discuss today, whether to take the risk of printing new concept English, or give up this opportunity." ”

Liu Shan glanced at Yang Rui strangely, and always felt that he didn't seem to be persuading.

The cost of 10,000 yuan still scared many people.

Although no one jumped out against it anymore, no one stood up in favor of it either.

Even Wang Guohua was uneasy about this, let alone others.

After a long time, Huang Ren said in a low voice: "Otherwise, let's reduce the number a little?"

He has been dealing with the team members a lot lately, and he can guess their thoughts. 10,000 yuan is indeed too much, and in this era when 10,000 yuan households are still legends, government agencies can use 10,000 yuan as a unit. What's more, Yang Rui only uses 10,000 yuan as the base.

As soon as Huang Ren's words fell, someone said again: "How big a belly to eat, how much to eat, we don't have 10,000 yuan to print, right?"

"You don't have to give all the money to the printing house at once, pay a deposit of about 2,000 yuan first, I estimate that they can start printing, and the rest, wait for us to sell for a while, and then pay them the rest." Of course, I haven't talked to the printer yet, and what the final situation will be, I'll hold a plenary meeting at that time for everyone to choose. ”

Li Xuegong, who usually doesn't like to talk, is also a member of the Ruixue group, and he was not going to speak, but seeing the heated discussion, he was finally blown up by the astronomical amount of 10,000 yuan, and said, "What if...... I mean, what if we decide to print this book and the printer doesn't agree with our proposal?"

"Two options, additional investment, or discontinue printing. Yang Rui replied very quickly.

"Is that going to borrow money to print?" asked a girl with pigtails stupidly.

Yang Rui affirmed: "Borrow money to print." ”

"Want to borrow 8,000 yuan?" the girl with pigtails looked around uneasily.

"It's estimated to be more than 8,000 yuan, and like I said, there are additional costs, and I don't know how much. ”

"What if...... If we can't sell the books, do we have to pay back?"

"Of course, I have to pay it back, since it is in the name of the Rui Xue Group, I will return it in the name of the Rui Xue Group. Yang Rui paused and said: "The current Ruixue Group's cash flow is stable, and everyone has seen it, we can earn dozens of yuan every day, even if we lose this money, at most a few months, we can still turn over." ”

A boy couldn't help but stand up: "But in a few months, we will graduate." ”

"yes, all the time is spent paying off the debt......"

Wang Guohua couldn't help but stand up and said loudly: "Li Tieqiang, Wang Wanbin, when you eat canned food and get subsidies, why don't you object?

"We don't want to delay the college entrance examination ......" The two boys who were named bowed their heads and didn't dare to speak.

"Of course, you can't delay the college entrance examination. The meaning of Ruixue Group is to save time, improve efficiency, and not do the opposite. Yang Rui stood up at this time and said with a smile: "Canned food was originally distributed to everyone, and subsidies were earned by mimeographing, and each was its own account." If you lose 10,000 yuan, you really have to work for nothing for a while...... Well, let's vote. ”

In the sports room, more than 70 people, you look at me, I look at you, it's not good to speak first.

Yang Rui smiled again: "Vote anonymously." ”

Although Cao Baoming has a big waist and a round waist, his brain is very clear, and he hurriedly said: "Yang Rui, vote just vote, why vote anonymously? Can you still be responsible for your own words?"

With Yang Rui's prestige, so many people are staring, and the number of votes for anonymous voting and voting on the spot may be very different.

Yang Rui now wanted to lose, that is, he said: "We are also an experiment, the first time, how convenient it is." ”

He said to Huang Ren again: "In the minutes of the meeting, our charter for today is clearly written. This time, let's try the one-vote system for each person, including the reserve team members have the right to vote, and the reserve team members and team members have the same number of votes, and I am the temporary team leader, and at the same time, anonymous voting is adopted. That's it, cut some paper, and let's sing the ticket on the spot. ”

"If we don't get through the vote, we won't print the new concept English?" Li Tieqiang is a three-year veteran who is sensitive to time and money, and if he fails to get into college this year, he is ready to give up, so he can't spend a lot of time on work and paying back.

Yang Rui looked at him and said, "That's right, if you can't vote, we won't print the new concept English." ”

"That'...... It's a bit of a waste, can't we continue to mimeograph?" Li Tieqiang was embarrassed to be embarrassed, but he still said it all.

Cao Baoming turned his brain to come to his senses, and said angrily: "You kid wants to be good, and you don't want to be responsible!"

He rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward.

Yang Rui hurriedly stopped him and said, "If you have a meeting, you will have a meeting, and if you continue to mimeograph, you will continue to mimeograph." If the vote is not clear, let's continue to mimeograph, according to the number of students in our school, how much we want to print, only the cost. However, I said in the front, I am optimistic about the market of lead printing, large-scale printing can indeed reduce costs, if everyone in the Ruixue group votes not to print, I will go to the printing factory myself, pay for printing. ”

"What if I lose?" Li Tieqiang broke the jar and broke it, and simply asked to understand it.

"If I lose, I'll pay it back myself. I still have nearly 2,000 manuscript fees, and I can continue to write in the future, so don't worry. Well, I also made it clear in advance that if I make it, the profits will all belong to me, and it will not be credited to the account of the Ruixue group. Yang Rui said with a smile and said, "Everyone, I am willing to take such a risk alone, so many of us can't take this risk?"

"You've only taken the test once, and I've taken it all three times, it's different. Li Tieqiang continued to clear himself up.

Yang Rui shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't say anything, let's vote." ”

Huang Ren distributed the cut paper to everyone.

Wang Guohua wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yang Rui again.

Five minutes later, a cardboard box was converted into a ballot box and all the ballots were collected.

"Let's start singing. Yang Rui pretended to have a stern expression, but his mood was very calm. Whether he agrees with or against, he does not suffer.

Liu Shan and other students who were more convinced of Yang Rui looked at him worriedly.

Not every student in the Rui Xue group is convinced of the Rui Xue group and Yang Rui, especially the new members who have joined in the recent period, either because they want to make up for the class, or because of the reputation of the Rui Xue group. Just like most organizations, most of their members belong to the type who are only willing to take and are unwilling to give, and they are the kind of people who want to take benefits.

A debt of tens of thousands of yuan, for the Ruixue group of less than 100 people, is equal to an average of more than 100 yuan per person, except for Wang Guohua and Cao Baoming, who are closer to Yang Rui or more convinced of him, not everyone is willing to bear.

Even if it's just a probability, they don't want to take it.

Of course, there are also people who don't believe in Yang Rui, but the amount is too big, and his character is unwilling to take risks.

Yang Rui was able to guess part of the answer. If it is placed in the next generation, this is equivalent to more than 70 students, discussing whether they are willing to borrow 1 million yuan to invest in a certain project.

With only a month or two of prestige accumulated, it is difficult to vote anonymously in the face of an unfavorable constitution.

And the answer is, indeed.

Huang Ren, Liu Shan and Wang Guohua counted the ballot box twice, but still reluctantly announced: "34 votes for agreeing, disagree...... 39 votes, with 3 abstentions. The resolution is not passed. ”

Yang Rui was surprised, he originally thought that such an anonymous vote could only have about 20 votes in favor.

It's almost gò.

Yang Rui muttered in his heart, if he got through, the foreshadowing in front would be in vain.

On the surface, Yang Rui showed a disappointed expression and said: "Since the vote is like this, in the name of the Ruixue group, the resolution to find a printing house to print the new concept English is invalid, and I will find a way to do it myself." Alright, let's adjourn today. ”

Li Tieqiang and the others restrained their smiles and left the gymnasium.

Liu Shan looked at Yang Rui comfortingly, but didn't say anything.

Yang Rui motioned to Huang Ren, Wang Guohua and Cao Baoming to stay with his eyes.

After all kinds of comfort, there were finally only 4 people left in the gymnasium.

"Put all the ballots away and check the handwriting. Yang Rui smiled in the concerned eyes of the three of them: "Gather the list of those who voted against it, and also the list of those who voted for it." After the vote for the yes is over, be a formal member of the group, and the vote for the bad is also prepared, and get out of the Ruixue group, well, do you know how to handwrite?"

"Yes. Huang Ren hurriedly replied. They are all people who have participated in the era of big-character posters, and they are not people who have learned a little bit of handwriting.

Wang Guohua said unexpectedly: "You have long expected that there may be no way to vote?"

"Well, there are more than 70 people, I can't take care of them, many of them just come to class, they don't participate in any other activities, they don't know me well, they probably don't trust me, and it's not surprising to vote against it. Of course, some people are just simply unwilling to take risks, but in either case, we don't need it. Yang Rui then slowed down his speech and said calmly: "The Ruixue group needs two kinds of people, one is willing to fight for the country and the nation, and the other is willing to work together to keep warm, share weal and woe, and share prosperity...... Everyone is still young, and it is difficult to say what they will think in the future, but this time those who voted against it either did not believe me, or lacked courage, either way, the Ruixue group did not need it. ”

All three were dumbfounded.

I saw Cao Baoming slap his thigh, and the painful Wang Guohua jumped up and said, "This will remove the miscellaneous people!"

"A big part. Wang Guohua grinned and slapped back.

Cao Baoming should be tickled, and said: "I understand, this must be done clearly." ”

Huang Ren was uneasy and asked, "Brother Rui, did you really invest money to print yourself?"

"Of course, the new concept English is very easy to sell, you can't sell it locally, and it's the same when you sell it abroad, as long as the cost comes down, you can sell as much as you want. Yang Rui was extremely sure that it was a big deal, so he pulled the book to the provincial capital to sell it. In a city like this, which casually digests hundreds of thousands of magazines, it is all too easy to sell 10,000 copies of New Concept English.

Cao Baoming slapped his thigh again and said happily: "When the new concept English is sold, let's have a plenary meeting, and then it will be easy to talk, and we must let Brother Rui make a decision in the future." ”

Yang Rui said modestly: "It is still necessary to set up a veto power, let me make all the decisions, and I don't have so much time to ......."

The room was quiet for a moment, and then the four of them laughed together.

Yang Rui sighed: Finally, I feel like the secret team is doing bad things together.
