Yuan Fangtai told Yuan Fangguo on the phone that several of their men who were training outside were facing discharge and would be returning to Chengdu in two days. He was thinking of asking his comrades to help bring the items back this time. In this way, not only would the postage be saved, but it would also be faster.
As soon as he heard the news, Yuan Fangguo immediately told Li Chunli.
Li Chunli naturally agreed without hesitation. The two of them planned to take out 10,000 yuan and remit it to Yuan Fangtai, asking him to help organize the purchase of goods in Yangcheng.
This ten thousand yuan can at least multiply five times in their hands.
If they were to make profits at the current rate, they would be able to collect at least 80,000 yuan in payment for goods before New Year's Day. With this huge sum of money, they could go to Guangzhou and make a big splash, turning all the 80,000 yuan in payment into commodities.
Li Chunli thought about it and told Yuan Fangguo that she was still planning to borrow tens of thousands of yuan.
Yuan Fangguo fully supports Li Chunli's decision.
At present, Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli are working in two parts. Li Chunli takes a sweet-looking clerk in the store to take turns calling companies in Chengdu, and also publishes the address of their company, warmly inviting them to visit the company.
As for the clothing store, another clerk is in charge.
Li Chunli is a woman with great tenacity when it comes to her work. At first, when she made phone calls, many companies did not believe her and thought she was a complete liar. Many of them insulted them on the phone.
Li Chunli always greeted these humiliations with a smile, and her sincerity began to impress the company leaders. After all, there was no need to pay any earnest money or deposit, which was much more sincere than those real scammers.
Yuan Fangguo is responsible for the sales of electronic products, market expansion and marketing. He is very busy in his spare time. Sometimes he is too busy to handle it all, so he asks his fellow villagers and roommates to help.
At the same time, Yuan Fangtai, who was far away in Guangzhou, borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from his comrades without receiving the remittance slip. He organized the goods, bought a pack of Hongtashan cigarettes for each of his comrades, and entrusted them to bring them back.
After a busy month, everything went as planned.
During this one month, Li Chunli negotiated with at least 600 companies and also sold the advertisements on the back cover and the middle title page.
Just having these 300 companies was far from enough. She even spent several thousand dollars to install a telephone in the company and hired a sweet-looking girl with good Mandarin to work with them.
Yuan Fangguo ran around all the markets around Chengdu. Sometimes on weekends when the team had no training or games, he would just run around continuously and was exhausted at the end of the day.
Finally, around December 20, Li Chunli and her team completed the cooperation with more than 2,000 companies. Each company only needed to spend 30 yuan to buy the Chengdu Yellow Pages, which was not a loss for them.
Li Chunli sold the advertisements on those pages for a total of 3,000 yuan, which added up to a total fixed income of about 70,000 yuan.
Yuan Fangguo felt that it was time to talk to the publishing house and the printing factory.
Yuan Fangguo had already found out that Bashu University had its own publishing house, and the Chinese Department to which Yuan Fangguo belonged was an important source of publications. As the dean of the college, Zhang Shunzhong would definitely be able to help him.
Yuan Fangguo left a good impression on Zhang Shunzhong. Apart from that incident of bravery, he always listened actively and raised his hand to speak in Zhang Shunzhong's classes.
He decided to volunteer to find Zhang Shunzhong.
When there was no class in the afternoon, Yuan Fangguo knocked on Zhang Shunzhong's office door.
"Dean, I'm sorry to bother you." Yuan Fangguo said respectfully.
Zhang Shunzhong was processing a document. When he saw Yuan Fangguo, he couldn't help but take off his glasses and said kindly, "It's Xiao Yuan. Come and sit down."
Yuan Fangguo nodded and sat down. He got straight to the point. After all, Zhang Shunzhong's time was precious.
He told Zhang Shunzhong about his yellow pages concept, and Zhang Shunzhong agreed with it. He also told Yuan Fangguo that there are too few information resources now, especially for outsiders. After arriving in Chengdu, they are often in a state of confusion. If Yuan Fangguo can produce such a yellow pages, it will definitely have a positive promoting effect on the entire society.
"Dean, thank you for your support. It will definitely be published when the time comes. Can the publishing house and printing factory at the school..." Yuan Fangguo just nodded.
Zhang Shunzhong smiled and said, "Of course you can, but you will probably have to pay for it yourself. The cost..."
"As for the expenses, we students will figure it out ourselves," said Yuan Fangguo.
Zhang Shunzhong smiled and said, "If you're short on funds, I can talk to the printing factory and ask them to pay you a month or so later."
This was something Yuan Fangguo had not expected. Zhang Shunzhong actually helped them so much.
He was very grateful to Zhang Shunzhong, and before leaving, he did not forget to bow to Zhang Shunzhong respectfully.
Zhang Shunzhong himself was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Yuan Fangguo.
After resolving the issues with the publishing number and the printing factory, Yuan Fangguo had only one choice, which was to go for it boldly.
It is far from enough to have only those companies in this yellow pages. Yuan Fangguo thought about it and decided to add the "government" and some private owners as well.
He has the government's information, mainly phone numbers and addresses; as for those private owners, Yuan Fangguo plans to use the social survey team to implement it.
He found Sun Haitao and told him that a boss was working on a resource integration project and wanted to see if he could find some students from the club to help. He said the job was worth it, and he would give Sun Haitao one yuan for each company he found, and also give Sun Haitao 500 yuan for activity funds.
Sun Haitao was also troubled by the fact that the social survey in the society had almost stagnated and there was no topic. When he saw Yuan Fangguo put forward this suggestion, he immediately agreed. On the next day, he hurriedly gathered the members together and told everyone about this task.
Almost no one objects. Why not do something that allows you to conduct research and make money at the same time?
With the members of the society taking care of this matter, Yuan Fangguo can now be at ease and be a hands-off boss.
The time is getting closer and closer to New Year's Day.
New Year's Day in 1994 was on Saturday, but the school was closed on Thursday afternoon, for a total of three days.
His second brother also called to tell him that their troops were preparing to return to base on January 4th.
On the phone, Yuan Fangguo asked his second brother to invite their company commander out for dinner on the evening of the 30th.
Yuan Fangtai nodded and agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Fangguo told Li Chunli that the matter had been dealt with by his second brother.
"Fang Guo, how are we going to tell him then? What if he refuses?" Li Chunli was still a little worried.
