Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 70
Principal Wang nodded after hearing He Ping's words, "You're right, all the leaders of the brigades must be invited here. However, I think Director Mao must be called in for such a big matter. This is not a trivial matter. "

He Ping didn't think as much as Principal Wang did, but he understood when he thought that the movement had just ended two or three years ago and all the intellectuals hadn't let go of their mental state of trembling on thin ice.

After handing over the ledger and giving suggestions, He Ping didn't plan to take care of the copybook any more.Principal Wang said that Director Mao of the commune should be asked to make the decision, but He Ping had no objection. Director Mao knew about the copybook, and he was happy to see it succeed.

"It's up to you to decide. I'm planning to go to Yingcheng in two days. You can go with me and meet the people from Yingcheng Printing Factory. In the future, you can communicate with each other. I won't participate. .”

That night, Principal Wang asked the students to go to their brigades after school to inform them about the copybooks, and let the brigades in charge go to the commune to discuss matters.

After dinner in the evening, President Wang opened the account book He Ping gave him by the kerosene lamp.

It is said to be an account book, but it is actually a few pages of letter paper. The printing of the copybooks went very smoothly because of Liang Yuejin's relationship, and the expenses were also very simple.

At present, two batches of pen copybooks have been printed, totaling 6000 sets.The first batch of copybooks relied on Liang Yuejin to collect socialist wool, and the cost was included in the loss of the printing factory. The printing cost of the second batch of 5000 sets of copybooks was 1 cents per set, totaling 8 yuan.By the way, He Ping recorded the expenses of treating guests for dinner, staying in a hostel, and going to and from the city to the account, which is equivalent to paying the printing cost of the first batch of copybooks.

The first batch of 1000 sets of copybooks had already been sold out, and after deducting commissions to the school, the Education Bureau, and Liang Yuejin, as well as He Ping's advance payment, the profit was 500 yuan.

Principal Wang trembled slightly as he looked at the ledger. The numbers were all on paper. They still owed the printing factory 100 yuan because they had paid for the printing of the second batch of copybooks in advance, but Principal Wang understood this. It has been done, if the second batch of 5000 sets of copybooks can really be sold out, then Dingtun Primary School will receive a huge sum of money, at least in the view of Principal Wang.After excluding the two 300 yuan invested in the early stage, plus the 30% commission fee, the amount of money is as much as 4600 yuan.

Principal Wang felt his heart was about to jump out, and his face was extraordinarily rosy due to the congestion.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Principal Wang's daughter-in-law asked worriedly.

"No...it's fine."

Principal Wang took a deep breath and closed the ledger.In my heart, I laughed at myself for being a person of my age, not as good as a young man in his 20s.

When he thought of He Ping's clear eyes looking at him, Principal Wang couldn't help feeling admiration welling up in his heart.

The national scholar is unparalleled, the ancients do not deceive me!
Principal Wang was groggy all night and did not sleep Shicheng. He met Ding Aiguo and went to the commune early the next morning.

When approaching the commune, President Wang and Ding Aiguo met the old captain and He Ping who were driving the donkey cart.

Seeing He Ping, Ding Aiguo jumped out of the car, "Writer He, you have done another big thing quietly!"

He Ping felt like a light boat in a huge wave, which might capsize at any time, "Stop, don't shake it, you'll throw up if you shake it again."

"You tell me what to say, it's really..." Ding Aiguo was at a loss for words as he spoke, and couldn't remember what words to use to express his gratitude.

"Let me go first." He Ping broke free from Ding Aiguo's big hand, "Why are you being so polite? Our two villages are close neighbors, and our children both go to the same school. Improving the children's schooling conditions is beneficial to all of us." It’s a great thing, Captain Ding, don’t you think so?”

"Yes, yes." Ding Aiguo nodded his head. Now that He Ping said that the moon is square, Ding Aiguo would agree with him without hesitation.

Good guy, you can earn 5000 yuan if you start a copybook business casually. How much money can a production team make in a year?

The old captain sitting in the car looked at He Ping with relief. The former old opponent bowed his head in front of the educated youth he picked up, which made the old captain feel very relieved.

Thanks to Lao Tzu's discerning eyes, I found such a treasure.

Several people came to Director Mao's office together, and the team leader and branch secretary of Kezhai also came after a while.

He Ping and President Wang briefly reported the business of the pen copybook to Director Mao, "The situation is like this, the copybook business is on the right track, and I'm thinking that this matter should be returned to the school, but the things involved There are quite a few, so we came here specially to ask you to help us make a decision.”

After hearing this, Director Mao showed a wry smile on his face, and pointed at He Ping, "You, you will really give me problems."

Of course he knew about He Ping's making of copybooks, and he also helped to write a note for the commune middle school to publicize, but what he never expected was that He Ping had spread such a large stall. The profits generated by the business will be amazing.

"Director Mao, He Ping is all for our elementary school. You are not unaware of the conditions of our team to run an elementary school. We go to the commune and the county to beg grandpa and grandma for less than a few dollars a year. He Ping does whatever he wants. Just thought of an idea and solved the problem of running a primary school for our team, you can't bite Lu Dongbin like a dog!"

Seeing that Director Mao wanted to blame He Ping, the old captain immediately got up to protect the calf, but he was more put on a show, the purpose was to make Ding Tun Captain Ding Aiguo and Ke Zhai Captain look at He Ping with bright eyes Ke Weimin knew that He Ping's treasure was the public property of Han Tun, and it was not something the two toads could covet.

"Sit down for me, why are you still here to be courteous?" Director Mao glared at the old captain angrily, he pondered for a while, and then looked at He Ping who was sitting there peacefully for a while.

"Tell me, since you kowtowed your head 99 times, it's time for the last bow, tell me what you think."

When He Ping saw Director Mao mentioning his name, he immediately refused: "Don't say that, I've handed over everything, so stop talking nonsense."

Director Mao is a good person, so he doesn't understand He Ping's intention to avoid suspicion, "There are no outsiders here, everyone understands your kindness, and you are in charge of the copybook. Your suggestion for the follow-up arrangement is the most important, so let's talk about it." , don't hide it."

"That's right, Writer He, we all understand that you are doing it for the good of the school. We are all a bunch of big bastards. If you don't understand these things, just tell us."

Ding Aiguo and Ke Weimin echoed, and the old captain immediately followed after seeing this, "Yes, He Ping, just tell the big guys, no matter what you say, our Hantun brigade will support you."
