Master Dong understood it immediately: "What about Youth Digest? Who in the whole of Peiping doesn't know about it? It was created by Peking University and Tsinghua University, and it is quite popular. My kid reads it every month and keeps a tight grip on it."
"Master, has your boy gone to junior high school?" Lin Xiaoguang handed over a cigarette.
Master Dong immediately smiled, took the cigarette, glanced at it, his eyes immediately straightened, oh, it’s still Chinese.
He couldn't help but feel greatly moved. When he looked at Lin Xiaoguang again, the other person's image immediately became countless times taller. He couldn't put up any airs or be too groveling, so he forced a smile and asked: "Don't your school have a printing press and a venue? Need to go outside?”
Lin Xiaoguang smiled, picked up a match, and lit a cigarette for him: "Master, what is your surname?"
Master Dong felt a little sorry for the cigarette and wanted to find a place to savor it, but he couldn't be too embarrassed right now, so he lit the cigarette and waved his hand: "Forgive me that your surname is Dong, just call me Master Dong."
Taking a deep breath, he asked again: "Hey, little comrade, what is your name?"
Lin Xiaoguang's expression did not change and he said: "Master Dong, actually I didn't want to say it at first, but if you ask, I will definitely answer, so I will tell you directly, my name is Shen Yizhou, old man Shen Zhizhen."
Next to him, Guo Hongbing was stunned.
Master Dong was still thinking that the name was ordinary, but when he heard the three words Shen Zhizhen, it sounded familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he finally thought of it.
Suddenly, his face looked a little ugly.
He looked at a few people and became even more suspicious. The leader in front of him was from the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The following ones were descendants of who knows which family. When he thought about his background, he couldn't afford to offend an electrician from the power supply bureau. , it really hurts.
After thinking about it, he made up his mind.
"Oh, I'm too lazy to take care of your business. Just pay the money. The electricity bill for April is 269. This is the electricity bill. Take a look at it." Master Dong simply ignored it. The electricity he used was from the government, not his own. , as long as you pay, you can go to whoever you like.
One kilowatt-hour of electricity costs 5 cents and 269 yuan, which means that more than 5,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity were used throughout April.
In March, the electricity consumption was less than 2,000 kilowatt-hours and cost more than 100 yuan. In April, we used so much electricity, which makes people secretly stunned. As expected, not everyone can start the industry.
Lin Xiaoguang glanced at Lin Dongxia, and the latter took out the money.
When Master Dong saw the money, he didn't care about "Youth Digest", a free publication. How could he have so much money to pay the electricity bill? He took the money, counted it carefully, found twenty-six ten-dollar bills, plus nine one-dollar bills, and took the initiative to leave.
"You don't know that paying the electricity bill is really a hard job. If I get the electricity bill, it's not in vain. Goodbye, you are busy!"
"Master Dong, please make a trip." Lin Xiaoguang took a pack of peonies from the side and stuffed it into his arms.
Master Dong smiled when he saw this. He had to say that although these big guys had weird tempers, they were still quite sophisticated in their behavior.
"No hard work, no hard work, just serve the people." Master Dong patted his butt and left.
As soon as he left, Song Qingming was ready to start work. Lin Xiaoguang did not stop him and let them go. He just returned to the house, frowning, thinking about what had just happened.
Seeing that he was quite worried, Guo Hongbing asked, "Hasn't he already been sent away? What else is there?"
Lin Xiaoguang opened the tea cup and started making tea again: "The country's definition of self-employed refers to repair, service and handicraft industries. It does not mention our printing industry. This matter will be a hidden danger in the future. If the industrial and commercial industry comes to investigate, I will leave it alone. Using the title of Director of Industry and Commerce will not help."
When he said this, Guo Hongbing still didn't believe it: "Isn't that true?"
Jiang Xuewu remained silent.
Xiao Kun on the side, thoughtfully, suddenly asked: "Brother Xiaoguang, can't we stop doing this job of printing pictures?"
"Of course we can't do it if we don't do it." Lin Xiaoguang put tea leaves into the teapot and said, "Even if we don't do it now, more than a thousand people below won't agree. They all rely on this to make a living. It's absolutely impossible if we don't do it."
"So, I want to completely separate production and sales. From now on, we will only be responsible for sales and production will be handled by others." He thought of a way.
Many companies in later generations did this, such as Apple. They found OEMs to produce mobile phones and computers, and they were only responsible for R&D and sales. OEMs such as Futukang only received meager profits from the lower reaches of the industrial chain.
"We need to find someone to do the work." Lin Xiaoguang made up his mind.
Guo Hongbing accepted this decision, so he had another question. He asked: "Who should I ask for?"
Jiang Xuewu is concerned about another issue: "We are now looking for someone to do the work. What about Song Qingming and Guan Tao? They have been following us."
Lin Xiaoguang is also thinking about it. Song Qingming and Guan Tao are easy to arrange. They are responsible for printing and get a salary of 50 yuan a month. Later, they will switch to sales. Each of them will recruit more than ten or twenty people and become the general agent themselves, so they can earn more.
If the money is too much, they will definitely accept it.
As for who to find to do the work, he was also a bit embarrassed.
If he went to college in Chang'an, he could leave this matter directly to Yan Dongming and the Nanyao Brigade, but this is Beiping, and he is not familiar with rural areas.
After thinking for a while, he said to several people: "Send people around to find out which villages are engaged in collective industries, such as brick and tile factories, pig farms, hardware factories, etc. We will cooperate with them."
That's how things were settled.
May 6, the beginning of summer, was the day Lin Xiaoguang agreed to visit Anyang's house.
Before, he was quite courageous, but when it came time to set off, he was a little hesitant. He did not think about food or tea, and was quite anxious. From time to time, he thought of Teacher Fu in the distance, and the scene when he visited his father-in-law's house for the first time in more than ten years.
An Yang was happy and joyful.
As Anyang's roommate, Lin Xiaoyun has seen all the changes in her in the past few days, and she knows why.
So, she also knew that he was going to Anyang's house.
Although it was funny, she couldn't help but feel helpless. Wasn't this too fast? She had never been close to her before, and in just a few days, it was time to meet her parents.
In addition, she was also a little worried. She knew more or less about the situation in Anyang's family, and she knew Lin Xiaoguang's situation very well. However, the timing was not very good right now. The school would punish her severely if she found out.
At this moment, she felt that her brother was too careless and restless.
Lin Xiaoguang didn't feel An's restlessness. He was quite embarrassed. It was his first time visiting the house. What gifts should he buy, what clothes should he wear, etc. Everything was not easy.
On this special day, Anyang wore a white dress.
The day in May is not very hot, so wearing this is a little cool, but fashionable enough.
In the courtyard, Lin Xiaoguang saw her outfit and didn't think much about it. She wore a simple white shirt and trousers. She took a shower, combed her hair, and put on clothes, pants and shoes. That was it.
"Let's go!" Anyang was very happy, but he didn't dare to get too close. He still grabbed the corner of his clothes and walked forward as before.
Lin Xiaoguang smiled.
When I was going out, I bumped into Aunt Jia.
Aunt Jia looked up and down and joked: "Hey, are you meeting your parents today?"
She was originally joking, but when she heard this, Anyang blushed.
Lin Xiaoguang's expression remained unchanged, he smiled and said, "I'm just going out for a walk, Aunt Jia, see you later!"
After leaving the alley and going outside, a Capital Taxi happened to stop and a foreigner got out. Lin Xiaoguang walked over and said to the taxi driver: "Master, are you going to the Family Home of the Municipal Public Security Bureau?"
"Stay where you want to cool off. Taxis only take foreigners. Haven't you heard of that?"
"One hundred yuan, do you want to go?" Lin Xiaoguang took out the money.
