In this way, she made a business, accumulated capital, and was able to help those hardworking educated youth who dreamed of returning to the city, as well as those who were eager to break the status quo and change their lives.
However, publishing a book is not difficult. She even plans to compile and summarize a set of materials specifically for the college entrance examination questions, which will surely attract more buyers.
The most important question is, how is she going to find someone to help her make copies? She definitely can't do this by herself, and even if she could, she wouldn't dare to sell them on a large scale. Nowadays, only state-owned bookstores like Xinhua Bookstore dare to sell books on a large scale.
And even if she could sell them, how many people would believe her?
This deal is absolutely a sure thing, the most urgent thing is to find a partner...
However, all of this could only be done secretly and slowly, and it was time-consuming and laborious to do. Ye Ran opened the small drawer in her bedside table, which contained all the pocket money she had saved up over the years.
Ye Ran counted carefully; it totaled thirty-six yuan and eighty-seven cents. Although it was only a small amount, not even enough for a barbecue today, it was a considerable sum back then.
This is because Ye Ran was raised by Bai Yue, who came from a wealthy family. The Bai family firmly believed that daughters should be raised in luxury, so they were always very generous to their daughters financially. Even in difficult times, they would regularly give their daughters pocket money, which is why Ye Ran was able to accumulate such savings.
She was considered the richest girl in the village.
But this amount of money is definitely far from enough to do what she plans to do, so she urgently needs to start a small business to increase her savings.
It will be some time before individual businesses are officially allowed to operate. Right now, nobody dares to do business openly. If you want to do a small business, you have to go to the black market.
Ye Ran was originally a well-behaved girl who had no idea where the black market was. But in her previous life, she met a man named Hou Zhiqiang, nicknamed Monkey. They were both starting businesses in Haicheng. Unlike her, she was just starting out, while Hou Zhiqiang was already a well-known wealthy businessman in Haicheng.
Given their different social standing at the time, the two should never have crossed paths. However, by chance, Hou Zhiqiang's wife suddenly fainted while walking on the street. Ye Ran, who was passing by, took her to the hospital, where it was discovered that she was pregnant.
Hou Zhiqiang and his wife had been married for many years but had never had a child. They had given up hope, but then they suddenly found out that Ye Ran was pregnant. The couple was overjoyed, especially when they heard that Ye Ran was from the same hometown as them. They felt that Ye Ran was destined to be with them, so they recognized each other as relatives and started to visit each other more often.
During a gathering, Hou Zhiqiang talked about how he accumulated his initial capital. He had been doing business in the black market for several years since the reform and opening up, and many resources had passed through his hands. The black market was located in a small alley in the west of the county town.
So now, Ye Ran is going to ask Hou Zhiqiang for help, but how can she gain his trust?
Ye Ran frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, relaxed, and smiled confidently...
