As the country announced the resumption of the college entrance examination, starting from the end of 1978, a craze for studying began throughout the country. This craze continued until the late 1980s and still did not subside.

Because of their thirst for knowledge, young students of this era had an enthusiasm for learning that would be unimaginable by later generations. They spontaneously collected science textbooks, test papers, and manuscripts they could find everywhere, and even willingly carried a newly released textbook with them.

Standing in line for dry food and water bottles in front of the education bookstore for a day and a night, this scene is even worse than the launch of Apple's new mobile phone more than 30 years later.

Today's textbooks, tutorial materials and reference materials are far less dazzling than those of later generations. Even normal textbooks are missing in bookstores, let alone other things?

Chinese people attach great importance to education in traditional thinking. When Song Guangzeng was alive, he often said to Song Yuanchao: There is a house of gold in the book, and there is a beauty like jade in the book.

As a senior intellectual, Song Guangzeng was very attentive to Song Yuanchao's education and had great expectations for his future. Unfortunately, due to special reasons of the times, Song Yuanchao was not able to complete high school and enter university for further study as Song Guangzeng imagined.

I went to the northwest to go to the mountains and countryside.

When the educational channels that had been stagnant for many years were opened, countless young people's desire to change their destiny through learning erupted like a volcano, creating such a scene.

In later generations, education is also a huge industrial chain, with cram schools and training centers everywhere. The whole society is filled with cram schools and training centers. It is the best wish of every parent to hope that their child (girl) will become a success. For the future of their children, parents invest no matter what.

Practical actions prove this.

Although the school-run factory of No. 2 Middle School is small in scale and its equipment and product structure are not very good, it is not without its advantages.

Among them, as the school-run factory of No. 2 Middle School, a key middle school in Shanghai, the No. 2 Middle School behind it is its best advantage.

Compared with ordinary schools and senior high schools in other places, key middle schools like No. 2 Middle School are incomparable to other schools in terms of teaching staff and channels within the education system.

Not to mention anything else, just like the college entrance examination review reference materials, the archives of No. 2 Middle School store the past college entrance examination papers from the establishment of No. 2 Middle School to the present, plus the internal exercise papers of each graduating class, etc.

Usually no one pays attention to things, but in Song Yuanchao's view, they are an out-and-out huge wealth.

Even if Song Yuanchao wanted to do this business in the past, he still couldn't do it without these things. But it is different now. These materials are sorted out through the school-run factory, and then printed and bound into volumes. Once put into the market, Song Yuanchao can imagine

What will be the result?

According to the discussion (negotiation) between Song Yuanchao and Director Ma, the final one-time fee for collecting data and renting a letterpress printing machine for a month was 500 yuan. In addition, the cost of paper and ink plus labor was calculated at 1.5 cents per sheet.

Based on these cost calculations, Song Yuanchao had long thought that the basic cost of a 50-page exercise book would be around 0.75. In addition, the production cost of letterpress printing would require an initial investment of about 800 yuan. If calculated based on the minimum batch printing of 500 copies,

The cost of a single volume is 3.35 yuan, which is relatively high.

But cost calculation cannot be calculated like this, because renting a letterpress printing machine is calculated on a monthly basis, and the cost of data collection and letterpress production is also a one-time expenditure, so from this point of view, the more printing, the lower the cost.

.

If there are 1,000 volumes, the cost of a single volume can be reduced from 3.35 yuan to 2.05 yuan. If there are 2,000 volumes, the cost of a single volume can be reduced to 1.4 yuan. If there are 5,000 volumes, the cost of a single volume can be reduced to 1.01 yuan...

Based on the current market demand, Song Yuanchao feels that even 10,000 copies may not be able to meet the demand. No one knows how big this market is better than Song Yuanchao.

This is just Shanghai and Shanghai. If you add in the provinces and cities surrounding Shanghai and Shanghai, the market potential is unimaginable.

The education level in Shanghai is originally one of the best in the country. Education in other provinces and cities cannot be compared with Shanghai. The internal exercises and test papers of key middle schools in Shanghai are no less than treasures in the eyes of teachers and students from other places.

In some places, it is even more difficult to get an internal test paper from Shanghai.

The so-called friend that Song Yuanchao mentioned was none other than Gu Jie.

After get off work, Song Yuanchao and Li Daqi invited Gu Jie out to discuss the matter in detail. Next, Gu Jie needed to meet with Director Ma to formally finalize the matter. They would talk about it at that time. Song Yuanchao had already made a plan. Gu Jie nodded while listening.

, keep it in mind carefully.

"If this thing is done well, it will be no worse than making clothes hangers, and it can be done for a long time." Song Yuanchao said, his mouth was dry, he picked up the tea cup and took a big sip.

Li Daqi on the side tilted his head and looked at Song Yuanchao with a strange expression. Song Yuanchao asked him what was going on. Li Daqi asked: "How did you get such a big head? You can even come up with such an idea?"

"

Song Yuanchao didn't say much and just replied "Haha" to him.

"Brother Song, what are you going to do with this business? You can't go to the vegetable market and set up a stall like you did selling hangers before, right?" Gu Jie thought for a while and asked.

"What do you think?" Song Yuanchao did not answer, but asked Gu Jie, and at the same time looked at Li Daqi: "Daqi, what do you think is appropriate?"

After Song Yuanchao finished speaking, he drank tea leisurely by himself, while Li Daqi and Gu Jie looked at each other and fell into thinking for a while.

Li Daqi is a motivated and brainy person. People like him can succeed in this era as long as he is given a chance. The facts of later generations have also proved this. Li Daqi has the foundation of a successful businessman, but now Li Daqi is not yet proven by later generations.

of myself.

As for Gu Jie, Song Yuanchao didn't know him at first, but he only dealt with him because of Li Daqi. After getting in touch with him, he found that Gu Jie was a good person. Although his mind was not as flexible as Li Daqi's, his personality was very calm. As for his character, Gu Jie also passed the test.

Li Daqi's test can be said that since the last time he transferred the clothes hanger business to him, Song Yuanchao has regarded Gu Jie as his teammate.

Song Yuanchao had his own ideas and plans, but in his mind, both Li Daqi and Gu Jie had to take charge of themselves in the future, so he did not intend to tell them directly what to do next, but used this method to give them a question.

.

From the beginning of the clothes hanger business, whether it is the purchase of raw materials, the intermediate production or the subsequent sales, Song Yuanchao has arranged it in advance, and everyone just executes it according to Song Yuanchao's vision.

But it is different now. This time Song Yuanchao is going to let Li Daqi and Gu Jie think about the problem by themselves, to think and figure out how to do this well.

Song Yuanchao's question immediately stumped the two of them. At first, they seemed to think that this question was not difficult, but after thinking about it carefully, they found that there were so many clues, and for a while they didn't know where to start.

For a moment, the room became quiet. The two of them were smoking cigarettes and frowning slightly, thinking. Song Yuanchao did not disturb them and just drank tea and waited patiently.

After a while, Song Yuanchao said with a smile: "This matter is not urgent. You go back and think about it carefully in many aspects. If possible, write down your thoughts on paper one by one, and we will discuss it then."

"Okay, I'll talk to you after I think about it." Li Daqi understood Song Yuanchao's intention and nodded immediately. Gu Jie naturally didn't object. Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them said goodbye and left. Song Yuanchao sent them out. After they left, Song Yuanchao walked in.
