Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 230 The crux of the problem is, why?
Li Youfu's self-deprecating statement was obviously beyond Cao Zhiqiang's expectations.

Cao Zhiqiang never imagined that the other party wanted to become a member of the publishing house and have a formal establishment by creating such a drama that could be used as the plot of a movie.

Of course, the essence of the other party's doing this is also to have a backer and make better money.

The ultimate goal is to make money.

From this perspective, what Li Youfu did was similar to what Cao Zhiqiang did back then.

It's just that Cao Zhiqiang's path is different from Li Youfu's.

From the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang took advantage of his mother's death to directly replace his identity and entered the factory as an apprentice.

Then he took the opportunity of holding the stick and holding Sha Zhu.

Then I got to know the big leader through Shazhu, and then persuaded the big leader to let the big leader help me open the way.

On the whole, Cao Zhiqiang was able to get to where he is today in a short period of time, taking a top-down approach.

During this process, apart from Cao Zhiqiang knowing a lot of plot information in advance and being able to make the most of the situation, the key is that he has cheats and can open cheats like crazy.

Don't say anything else, let's just talk about meeting the big leader.

Although the big leader himself is very good and is willing to support the younger generation, but this support is not for everyone.

If Cao Zhiqiang hadn't been brought over by Shazhu, the big leader would never have seen Cao Zhiqiang.

In addition, Cao Zhiqiang had already become a worker of the Hongguang Machinery Factory when he met the big leader, and he was a member of the metallurgical department.

Moreover, Cao Zhiqiang also wrote poems in advance and became a famous poet who has been in the limelight recently. Not only have the big leaders heard of his name and read his works, but also know that he can earn amazing wealth in a short period of time .

In the end, Cao Zhiqiang played and sang the new song in front of Uncle Xu. With his excellent talent and skills, as well as beautiful tunes and touching lyrics, he finally moved that Uncle Xu.

After that, Uncle Xu found Uncle Wang and chatted with Cao Zhiqiang for a while.

Cao Zhiqiang tried his best to come up with a publishing house affiliated with a machinery factory in the contracting business model.

During this period, ability, opportunity, cheating, luck, these four things are indispensable.

But on the whole, it was because Cao Zhiqiang had cheats, his own abilities were indeed strong enough, and he had made outstanding achievements, so he fell into the eyes of the two big leaders and decided to give Cao Zhiqiang a chance to display his ambitions.

Afterwards, when Cao Zhiqiang came again to give Uncle Wang a massage, he learned from Uncle Wang that a small publishing house was really just a matter of phone calls for someone like Uncle Wang.

If it was just for this matter, Uncle Wang would not have gone to see Cao Zhiqiang at all, even if it was to save Uncle Xu's face, he would have helped.

On the contrary, what Uncle Wang really cared about at the time was not Cao Zhiqiang's plan to open a publishing house, but another matter of Cao Zhiqiang, which was a restaurant in a private economy.

Because the issue of the private economy was already being discussed in China at that time, but the opinions were not fully unified.

But generally speaking, Uncle Wang is inclined to agree to open the private economy, but this matter requires a pilot, and this pilot must be successful, otherwise it will not be able to convince others.

By such a coincidence, when Cao Zhiqiang's incident happened, he came to have a look and listened to Cao Zhiqiang's idea.

He actually tends to agree with what Cao Zhiqiang said about the catering group.

After all, when it comes to catering, the country has actually liberalized a lot, but currently most of them are self-employed or contracted, and there is no real private catering company model.

It's just that Uncle Wang still has a lot of concerns about whether Cao Zhiqiang should be the first bird to become the boss of a private company.

In the end, he decided to take a look at Cao Zhiqiang's quality first, that is, let Cao Zhiqiang open a publishing house first, and then decide whether to hand over the title of the first private company to Cao Zhiqiang based on Cao Zhiqiang's management ability.

Because of this, although Cao Zhiqiang went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to fill out the form early, filed a record, and submitted the proposal of the catering company to the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, but until now, there is no news from there.

Cao Zhiqiang was a little disappointed at first, but then Uncle Wang told him in private to let him relax and concentrate on making the publishing house well. If the publishing house is doing well, the private restaurant business will naturally be easy to handle.

After Uncle Wang said that, of course Cao Zhiqiang understood what was going on, and it was clearly a test for him.

But no matter what, being able to be tested by Uncle Wang means that Uncle Wang is watching him.

With that person's attention, it is very convenient for Cao Zhiqiang to do anything. For example, when the main store of Xinhua Bookstore approached him at the beginning, he offered to purchase at [-]% price, which is already a great way to save face.

You must know that most of the publishing houses in Beijing currently sell their books to Xinhua Bookstore at [-]% or even [-]% off the price.

Cao Zhiqiang's Hongguang Publishing House can sell Xinhua Bookstore at a [-]% discount as soon as it comes up. This is the treatment of a big publishing house.

For example, the Writer's Publishing House also offers [-]% off the shipping price to Xinhua Bookstore.

However, the origin of all this, or in the final analysis, is because Cao Zhiqiang has cheats.

The external performance of this kind of cheating is the four words of brilliant talent.

It is precisely because Cao Zhiqiang is brilliant, innocent, and has a rough life experience.

In addition, he is young and vigorous, and the prodigal son turns back, which is a certain representative, so Cao Zhiqiang won the favor of the big leaders, and decided to give Cao Zhiqiang a chance to try him as a guinea pig.

That's right, a guinea pig.

After all, whether it is contracted to operate a publishing house or open to private companies, this is the subject that has been discussed above.

Nowadays, if someone volunteers to be a guinea pig, of course he would be happy.

But being a guinea pig can't be casual, you have to have the qualifications.

Just like if you want to be patriotic, you have to have that qualification.

Without that qualification, why are you patriotic?
Since people are willing to give Cao Zhiqiang a chance, of course they have to investigate Cao Zhiqiang's personal situation.

But Cao Zhiqiang's personal situation is too inspirational, his path is too righteous, and he is a young man, so the two uncles are willing to help.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang has been able to get to where he is today in a short period of time since he crossed, which is caused by many factors, but the main reason is that Cao Zhiqiang is a hacker and has a clean net worth.

Compared with Cao Zhiqiang's situation, Li Youfu is completely different.

Li Youfu's father died early, he remarried with his mother, and was bullied by his stepfather in the new home.

Later, his mother once stabbed his stepfather in the waist with a pair of scissors in order to protect him from his stepfather's beating, and was then arrested and sent to prison, where he is still serving his sentence.

And he, Li Youfu, was kicked out of the house by his stepfather after that incident.

In order to make a living, he, who did not graduate from high school, voluntarily chose to go to the countryside to jump in the queue, and later returned to the capital by luck by self-mutilation.

But when he came back, he couldn't find any job.

What should I do? I can only be self-employed.

Fortunately, Li Youfu started early and worked hard, so he soon earned his first pot of gold and became a millionaire.

Later, Li Youfu continued to sell large quantities of goods from the south to the north, and his business grew bigger and bigger. He went directly from a street stall retailer to a wholesaler.

And even though Li Youfu is a loser, the items he chooses are not the same.

He didn't choose things like clothes and pants, but audio-visual products such as audio tapes and books.

The reason for choosing these things is not only that Li Youfu himself likes to read books, but also because the censorship of these things is relatively low.

Now at this time, you are like all kinds of electrical appliances, as well as all kinds of clothes, shoes and hats. Once the police find out, they will be confiscated directly and fined.

But if it is reselling books and audio-visual products, because the jurisdiction in this area is relatively vague, as long as there are no obvious explicit and hidden pictures, the basic police will not care.

Moreover, when he pays tolls during the delivery period, the tolls for books, audio-visual products can also be reduced, after all, they are considered cultural products.

In particular, if the books you pull include some scientific books, especially those in English, many times, some toll stations will only charge you half of the toll.

There is no way, who made all parts of the country attach great importance to culture and scientific literacy.

At the same time, southern martial arts novels and audio tapes are quite popular among the people, and there is no need to worry about selling them.

Li Youfu put some scientific books on the surface to support the scene, and inside were a large number of martial arts novels and pop song tapes, and then brought them to the capital for wholesale and sold them to small vendors.

In this way, although Li Youfu is young, he has become a household of 10 yuan in just a few years, and he can be regarded as a big boss in the self-employed.

Not to mention anything else, there are dozens of younger brothers who eat under his hands, and they have already left the category of self-employed.

But at this time, he fell into a bottleneck period, because it would be difficult to develop further.

The scale is large, if you want to go further, there are only two ways at this time.

Or, just find a formal national brand unit to be affiliated with, and become a worker through whitewashing.

Or, continue to expand secretly, and then form gangs to form an underground gang like the Kitchen Knife Gang.

Of course, Li Youfu didn't want to be the boss of the underground gang, but wanted to find a unit to be affiliated with, because it was safer.

Why did he choose books and audio-visual products in the first place? Isn't it because these things are relatively safer?

But in 1983, most of the state-owned units, especially the state-owned units in Beijing, were very arrogant. No matter how poor they were, they would not look down on someone like Li Youfu, and it was impossible for them to agree to let him be affiliated.

Li Youfu had found many ways and spent a lot of money, but in the end all the ways failed.

Of course, it's not entirely because he doesn't like Li Youfu, the most important thing is that Li Youfu has a problem with his background.

Although it has been changed now, and on the surface, the background is no longer visible, but in real life, people still pay great attention to the origin.

If you are in a situation like Li Youfu, no matter whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a public institution in the capital, it is impossible for someone like Li Youfu to be affiliated.

It was precisely because of being rejected too many times that Li Youfu began to take a slant when he was discouraged.

Originally, it was fine if other units had no chance, but Li Youfu finally saw an opportunity and found a loophole in Hongguang Publishing House, so why didn't he rush to it?
In Li Youfu's view, although Hongguang Publishing House is a small publishing house, it is also a formal publishing house with a national name.

The key point is that this publishing house has no experience, so it dares to secretly deal with private individuals and deal with second-hand dealers in private. This is a proper crime of speculation.

Li Youfu believes that this must be caused by someone inside who is crazy about money, making money secretly, but lacks experience.

This kind of thing will be known sooner or later, and sooner or later it will be used to attack and report.

That being the case, it's better to let yourself get this handle before others.

As long as he has this handle, Li Youfu doesn't have to worry about the other party's refusal, and he can also take the opportunity to negotiate terms with the other party, affiliate with this publishing house, and do business in a legitimate manner.

Li Youfu believed that although that publishing house was inexperienced, with his own participation, it would definitely be able to do it and become popular.

"What you're talking about is that you want our publishing house to work for you and take the blame for you?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

"How can you say it's working for me?" Li Youfu said, "I mean work together and make money together."

Speaking of this, Li Youfu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Cao Zhiqiang carefully: "Wait, your publishing house? You, you are from Hongguang Publishing House? Not from the Security Department?"

Cao Zhiqiang shrugged: "When did I say that I was from the security department? You misunderstood."

After a slight smile, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "Let's get to know each other, my name is Cao Zhiqiang, and I am the general manager and vice president of Hongguang Publishing House.

But that's not important, you can understand that I am the leader of Hongguang Publishing House, and I have the final say on everything. "

"Cao Zhiqiang?" Li Youfu blinked, "You are the general manager Cao who founded Hongguang Publishing House?"

"Huh?" Cao Zhiqiang asked in surprise, "You know me?"

Li Youfu nodded quickly: "Yes, of course I know, Shen, brother Shen has been talking about your deeds after drinking too much, of course I know about you."

"This guy." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head. "It seems that he can't be allowed to drink in the future. Once he drinks, he won't be able to control his mouth."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Li Youfu again: "Li Youfu, that is to say, you have done so much, but you just want to join our Hongguang Publishing House, or you can say that you are affiliated with our Hongguang Publishing House. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes." Li Youfu admitted.

"I have also heard your experience." Cao Zhiqiang said, "If it is true, then you are considered a talent."

"Everything I said is true, and there is absolutely no lie." Li Youfu said quickly, "If you don't believe me, you can check it out!"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "It's easy to say, but you said so much, you said how hard you worked, and how miserable you were, but you didn't really get to the point."

"What do you mean?" Li Youfu asked.

Cao Zhiqiang leaned back slightly, crossed his arms with both hands, raised Erlang's legs and said:
"Li Youfu, I can let you go, or I can take you into our publishing house, and then our publishing house will cover you, so that you can do business with confidence.

The crux of the problem is, why?
Or, after accepting you, what can you bring me?
If you can't reflect your value, you can't bring me what I want.

Why should I let you go, and why should I accept you and cover you? "
