Chapter 69 Response
"Let's stop, Yuan Chao. You keep a close eye on the workshop these days. We can't be careless in doing things. We need to see things through to the end, keep statistics on the numbers, and maintain the equipment. After we're done, give everyone a day off. You've all worked hard these days." Director Ma said after thinking for a while.
"Don't worry, Master. I will arrange this matter. But Master...should we pay out the bonus that was promised to us first?" Song Yuanchao suggested.
"Send it! Send it tomorrow!" Director Ma is not a stingy person. He understands that leaders must keep their promises. This is also the basis for him to be a good director in the future .
"Okay, I'll give you the bonus table later."
"Well, I trust you to do the job." Director Ma nodded with a smile, and then said with some regret: "What a pity, what a pity, it has only been popular for a month and it has to stop. It would be great if this job could be continued for a long time."
Seeing Director Ma's emotion, Song Yuanchao immediately said with a smile: "Master, what's the big deal? If you think this job is good, of course we can continue to do it!"
Director Ma was stunned and looked at Song Yuanchao in confusion.
Song Yuanchao handed a cigarette to Director Ma. "To be frank, this job was originally done by us, and they only cooperated with us this time. They didn't say that all the information was bought out. Master, in my opinion, this job can still be done in the future. Only a part of the exercises and test papers in the school were used this time. There are still many unused. Even if it is the same kind of exercises, we can ask the teachers to change the content and issue them again. Don't you think so?"
"What do you think, kid? Tell me in detail." Director Ma raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Song Yuanchao to tell him his thoughts in detail.
Song Yuanchao immediately told the story to Director Ma. As Song Yuanchao spoke, Director Ma frowned slightly at first, but soon his brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.
Song Yuanchao's solution was very simple. He told Director Ma that although the printing of the college entrance examination review materials was Qin Zhengguo's demand and idea, it was not limited to the school and the school-run factory and he could not do it himself in the future.
At the beginning, Qin Zhengguo did not restrict the school and the school-run factory from doing it on their own, and the agreement signed by both parties was only limited to the current cooperation. Since the cooperation is about to end, the agreement will not have any constraints after the end, which means that the school and the factory can do it on their own.
After this cooperation, we have found out that these things have a huge market, and as long as there is a market, they can be sold.
There are so many exercise materials piled up in the archives of No. 2 Middle School. This time, due to time constraints, we only picked out a part of them. The school can continue to organize these materials and even make targeted questions on its own.
This is actually not difficult for the teachers at No. 2 Middle School, especially since things like mathematics, physics and chemistry are nothing more than formulas and theories. The same formulas can be applied repeatedly, and countless exercises with different contents and answers can be created. These are the basic skills of teachers. Isn't this how they usually give students tests and exams?
In addition, Song Yuanchao suggested that one should not only focus on the college entrance examination review exercises. In addition to the college entrance examination, there is also the high school entrance examination, as well as the usual extracurricular tutoring and improvement in school.
Schools and factories can target different grades and produce a set of high-quality extracurricular tutoring materials or even books. Once produced, they will have a market according to the current sales methods. There is no harm in doing so, and the idea even has benefits, at least in terms of profits, which will be much greater than it is now.
"Master, please think about whether what I said makes sense. In addition, I have also thought that these materials are still not standardized. It would be better if we could apply to the higher authorities to get a book number or something. Then we can directly let Xinhua Bookstore sell it. Isn't that better?"
Song Yuanchao's words immediately moved Director Ma. To be honest, he had seen the popularity of these products in recent days and knew how big the market would be. But after all, Director Ma had never been directly involved in these things. Even now, he was only responsible for the printing and production of the cooperation party.
The school is fine, he can talk to Principal Zhou about this, but what about sales? This is risky. Currently, Qin Zhengguo is in charge of sales, and the risk is not on the factory side. But once the factory must do it itself, then sales will be a big problem.
"What's the big deal? We can just ask Xiao Qin and his team to help. Maybe they will agree to cooperate in this way. At worst, I don't think it's a big deal. There are young people in the factory. We can set up a sales department and let them go out and try it out. It's impossible for them not to sell the products. At most, they won't sell as well as they do now."
At this point, Song Yuanchao glanced at Director Ma, and seeing that he was still a little hesitant, he added fuel to the fire: "Master, actually you don't have to worry. We can make a batch to test the waters first and see how it goes. On a large scale, the investment is not large, and we can afford the cost of a few hundred yuan. But if it is done well, it will be amazing. Think about it, with tens of thousands of dollars in income every month, even if you don't consider yourself, don't you consider the future of the factory and the comrades in the factory?"
Director Ma was finally convinced by Song Yuanchao. In other words, he himself felt that this was very feasible. If Song Yuanchao had asked him to do this at the beginning, Director Ma would probably have refused, but after experiencing the current college entrance examination practice materials, his concept has been subtly changed, and he has this idea.
Although he agreed with Song Yuanchao's suggestion, Director Ma still wanted to discuss the matter with Principal Zhou, but Song Yuanchao didn't think this was a problem.
After the last incident, Song Yuanchao already understood that Principal Zhou's vision and openness were much stronger than Director Ma's. His so-called discussion was just a consensus reached within the school. This matter was a good thing for the school, the factory, and even for ordinary students inside and outside the school. With Principal Zhou's rationality, he would never refuse.
"This is the situation..."
That evening, Song Yuanchao, Li Daqi, Qin Zhengguo, and Gu Jie sat around the table in his house and told each other everything that had happened that day and how they had responded.
After finishing speaking, Song Yuanchao apologized: "The situation came too suddenly, and I didn't have time to discuss before making a decision. I made the decision on my own. I apologize to everyone here."
Qin Zhengguo waved his hands and said indifferently: "What's there to apologize for? You did nothing wrong, and this is not your fault."
"Zhengguo is right, Yuan Chao, this is not your fault, if anyone is to blame, blame that jerk Wang Jianjun!" Li Daqi was so angry that his teeth itched and his face was distorted: "Isn't it enough to teach this little bastard a lesson last time? He actually dares to cause trouble again? This time, I must break his legs!"
"Da Qi, count me in when you break this kid's legs!" Gu Jie raised his hand.
"Enough, what nonsense are you talking about!" Song Yuanchao saw that Li Daqi and Gu Jie were getting more and more outrageous. They even wanted to break someone's legs? If they really did that, the matter would become a big deal.
Last time, the two of them secretly put Wang Jianjun in a sack and were lucky enough to get away with it. But this time was different. Wang Jianjun wrote a letter of denunciation and right after that his leg was broken. Even a fool could understand what was going on.
The public security police are not pushovers. If this incident happens, they will get into big trouble before the previous incident is clarified. Song Yuanchao knows the seriousness of the consequences better than anyone else.
"Keep quiet for the next few days." Song Yuanchao warned them with a stern face, especially to Li Daqi, "Don't do anything. No matter who asks you, you should always say you don't know. Daqi, you are a temporary worker in the factory. You should do whatever the leader arranges you to do. Tell the truth about production matters, and you don't know anything else. Do you understand?"
"Aid Korea, but..."
"What do you mean by 'but'? I'm asking you, did you understand what I just said?" Without waiting for Li Daqi to finish his words, Song Yuanchao asked with unprecedented harshness.
Li Daqi opened his mouth, and finally nodded helplessly under Song Yuanchao's gaze.
"And Gu Jie!" Song Yuanchao turned his gaze to Gu Jie: "You are just an ordinary young person waiting for an exam. You are helping a friend with some small favors. Nothing else has anything to do with you. Do you understand?"
Gu Jie hesitated and nodded.
Finally, Song Yuanchao looked at Qin Zhengguo. Compared with Li Daqi and Gu Jie, it was not so easy for Qin Zhengguo to get away, because Qin Zhengguo signed the agreement with the factory, and he was the one who handled all the contacts with other schools.
