Chapter 197
In Shanghai, Jian Li's book signing event lasted for three days. During these three days, Jian Li signed autographs, smiled, took photos, and handed over books, which have become mechanical memories.
The organizers' hospitality made Jian Feng and Wang Mengmei feel nervous.
Unlike in the capital, the organizer here is a joint venture between a publishing house and a large bookstore.
After the business of "Mean Painting" shrank, the publishing business was gradually stopped, and Jian Li's books were reprinted all the time. The publishing houses in Shanghai had long been eyeing the copyright of Jian Li's third book.
Because of this, the organizer not only provided a five-star hotel with a view of the beach from the room, but also arranged for Jian Li's family to be accompanied by staff, and after the book signing, the staff took them around to play.
After spending half a month in Shanghai, Jian Li finally realized the benefits of fame.
Before leaving, the publishing house approached her, bypassing Jiang Rou, and wanted to sign the overseas distribution rights for her works.
The price offered by the other party was tempting, but Jian Li just said she would think about it.
She didn't hide anything and went straight to Jiang Rou in private.
Jiang Rou looked at the other party's contract and finally put it down with difficulty.
"The overseas distribution rights can be signed."
After all, as a magazine, "Mei Hua" is still weak in publishing. In terms of overseas copyright, "Mei Hua" has no say at all. The other party's contract states that Jian Li's works can be promoted to Japan and South Korea, which is the key to Jian Li's popularity. Jiang Rou has no reason to stop it.
After Jian Li confirmed the contract, she called Tao Xingjian.
Tao Xingjian had already graduated at this time and was sitting in his office wearing a suit and tie. When he received Jian Li's call, he answered it without saying a word.
"Then I'll come find you after I've checked it out?"
"It just so happens that Zhong Qiang's case will go to court next month. We can make an appointment when you get to school."
Jian Li thought that she couldn't let others pay this time.
During the few times she came last semester, Tao Xingjian said he would go through the procedures with her, but every time it was Tao Xingjian who paid for her and found the venue.
"good."
Jian Li then reached a verbal agreement with the publisher, and would sign the contract once the terms of the contract were reviewed and no problems were found. Tao Xingjian acted quickly, and within two days he sent the revised contract. The publisher and Jian Li worked out some details again, and the contract was signed.
The person in charge of the publishing house told Jian Li that once the translation is completed, the book will be released in Japan this year.
“Your work will surely sell well.”
After dealing with these things, the family set out on their journey home.
However, Jian Li suggested that her parents go back first as she wanted to stay in Zhejiang for a while.
Jian Li and Wang Shuai plan to visit the manufacturer of PHS.
It ran from mid-August to the end of August.
Jian Li was fine, as she took good sunscreen when going out, so just her arms were a little dark.
Wang Shuai evolved directly into a black egg.
Heidan Wang Shuai was full of enthusiasm: "Sister, I want to open a store near your school. When the time comes, please help me find a storefront!"
The first thing to do at the beginning of the school year was military training, and Wang Shuai was eager to start, but Jian Li advised him to take his time.
There has been a lot of good news in the second half of the year, and the end of the year is the peak season for buying mobile phones!
The two agreed to split the profits 70% to 30%, with Jian Li being the major shareholder and Wang Shuai running the factory and being in charge of sales.
Jian Li agreed to Wang Shuai's words, packed her bags and went to school.
After a vacation, Jian Li has been promoted from a freshman to a sophomore.
Baobao Feng has been very busy since the start of the school year. She has a position in the student union and is busy with the new student orientation every day.
Jian Li was a little surprised to see Gu Hong.
"You didn't go out for the whole summer?"
The reason for this question is not for anything else, but because everyone gets tanned in the summer, but Gu Hong actually gets whiter!
Gu Hong: "It's too hot outside. I don't even want to go out."
Anyway, she doesn't go home. She is in the library during the day and tutors people at night.
As Gu Hong spoke, she returned the bicycle key to Jian Li in a good mood.
"I bought a second-hand bicycle."
Thanks to her part-time job, Gu Hong finally had some more money during this semester.
After Chen Lan's leg healed, she also bought a bike. She was the only one in the dormitory who didn't have a bike. Fortunately, her roommates were willing to give her a ride and often lent her their bikes. That's how she managed to get through her freshman year.
Now in her sophomore year, some of her classes were particularly far away. Gu Hong looked at her savings and finally gritted her teeth and decided to buy a used bicycle.
Jian Li took the key and said, "That's great. We can go out and ride bikes in the dormitory in the future."
After thinking for a while, Jian Li suddenly asked, "Hey, Honghong, do you want to do some part-time work?"
Gu Hong became excited when she heard about part-time job: "What what?"
School has started, and the workload for sophomore year is heavy, so she always has trouble finding time to be a tutor.
There are four people in the dormitory now. Jian Li and Chen Lan all have pagers, and Gu Hong also wants one.
If she had a pager, it would be more convenient for her to work part-time. She wouldn't have to make an appointment only to find out that the other person had something urgent to do.
Jian Li smiled mysteriously: "What a coincidence, isn't it? This part-time job is related to Xiaolingtong."
The expenditure of several thousand yuan is high, so Jian Li agreed with Wang Shuai to find a few part-time workers to run the market after school starts.
During this trip to Zhejiang, Jian Li realized how shady those stores were. The cost price of a PHS was much lower than they had expected.
Jian Li shamelessly adopted the simple tactic of price war.
Others sell it for 3,500, but she sells it for 3,000.
If necessary, at the end of the year, she plans to lower prices again and hold a big promotion.
After all, in a year or two, the price of this thing will drop sharply.
Later PHS units all cost around RMB 1,000 each.
Jian Li did the math for Gu Hong and charged her two hundred yuan for a pager.
After all, not many students can pay several thousand yuan in one go.
Gu Hong's eyes were red: "Okay, okay."
Seeing that she accepted it well, Jian Li also smiled.
Gu Hong didn't talk much about her family background, and Jian Li knew that she must be having difficulties.
The main reason I didn’t offer to help her during her freshman year was because I was concerned about Gu Hong’s self-esteem.
Now it seems that Gu Hong clearly knows what is more important.
Gu Hongli took up the matter: "I have to visit the dormitories when school starts anyway, so it's a good idea to do it together!"
One advantage of being promoted to sophomore is that Gu Hong’s part-time job is no longer limited to tutoring and going to the library.
She bought two boxes of pens and notebooks, as well as some cheap basins and summer mats.
These things sell especially well in the dormitory building.
The purchase price of a fountain pen is only a few cents, and I sell it for a few dimes. The basin is bought for one dollar and sold for three dollars.
The things that Gu Hongjin brought back piled up all over the dormitory. Feng Baobao stood at the door and took a deep breath.
Fortunately, she was too busy to check the dormitories during the school term, otherwise she, the deputy director of the student union's discipline department, would have been caught cheating in her own dormitory!
Jian Li raised her head from behind the stacked basins: "The dormitory head is back!"
Baobao Feng put her bag on the table, which was also filled with various notebooks and pens that Gu Hongjin had brought back.
Jian Li smiled flatteringly: "Dormitory Head, can I ask for leave tomorrow?"
Feng Baobao's forehead was bulging with veins: "No."
Jian Li: "Oh, I have something to do tomorrow. Anyway, I have to go to the orientation meeting for the new students tomorrow, can you help me?"
Under Jian Li's persistent nagging, Feng Baobao finally said angrily: "I won't care if the teacher calls my name tomorrow!"
The task of welcoming new students is assigned, and it will be their turn tomorrow.
Jian Li patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I definitely don't blame you."
One of the reasons why Jian Li asked for leave was to pick up Wang Shuai.
Wang Shuai got off the car carrying a lot of bags, and his eyes lit up when he saw Jian Li.
"sister!"
Jian Li took the black bag from his hand without hesitation: "Why did you come so late...did you bring everything?"
Wang Shuai had dark circles under his eyes: "I brought it!"
Jian Li opened the black bag and closed it with satisfaction: "It's done, let's go!"
Let’s go to Jian Li’s house first to divide the spoils.
Wang Shuai took a shower and before he had time to admire his sister's house, he sat down with eager eyes.
"Sister, you asked me to bring so much... can I sell them all?"
Jian Li said that the first batch was to test the waters first, so he gave him some money and bought 100 PHS phones in one go.
Marshal Wang didn't even dare to close his eyes along the way.
He was afraid that someone would take away the goods he had given him.
Jian Li: "You underestimate the capital's market."
With so many college students, how could this thing not sell?
Jian Li found a notebook to keep track of the accounts and also gave Wang Shuai a blank notebook.
"No false accounting."
Wang Shuai: “…That was so long ago!”
Although Wang Shuai has realized his mistake now, not to mention the false accounting, Wang Shuai thought about the beating his sister had his father give him.
Jian Li said at that time that he secretly embezzled the money of those black guys, so he deserved to be beaten.
Essentially, I want him to understand that a man without faith cannot stand.
When doing business, you cannot be jealous when you see others making money. If you are greedy towards your partners, no business will last long.
Wang Shuai gave Jian Li an honest guarantee: "I will never make false accounts."
He was not familiar with the place, so Jian Li did not allow him to take the goods. Jian Li left some of the 100 PHSs at home and prepared to take the rest to the dormitory.
I just have to wait for Gu Hong and the others to place the order, and then I can pay the money and receive the goods.
Shuai Wang stayed at Jian Li's place for a long time before Wang Yunyun got the news and rushed over.
"What a great guy! You didn't even tell me the time when you booked the ticket?"
She was still calculating the time and waiting to pick someone up, but Jian Li called her and said she had received the call.
Wang Yunyun sat down on the sofa at Jian Li's house, looking stern: "If you relax after entering university, you better keep your head up!"
People in my hometown always think that once you go to college, you can sit back and relax.
But Wang Yunyun knows that many people drop out of college every year.
Is everything going to be fine once you go to college?
Ha, wishful thinking!
Many of those who failed the course were persuaded to drop out, some of those who cheated in the exam lost their diploma, some of those who could not write the thesis lost their degree...
They are everywhere.
Wang Shuai swallowed his saliva and said, "Sister, I'm busy with serious matters."
Wang Yunyun: "What serious matter?"
Wang Shuai then said that he wanted to start a PHS business with Jian Li.
Wang Yunyun listened with a frown on her face.
Jian Li rarely helped Wang Shuai: "I'm the biggest shareholder, nothing will happen to me."
Wang Yunyun: "...You are not allowed to fail the course."
Wang Shuai finally breathed a sigh of relief: "No, I won't hang up!"
He is already in college, and being beaten by his sister again makes Wang Shuai feel socially depressed just thinking about it.
Wang Yunyun took Wang Shuai to her house, and Wang Shuai was surprised to find that his sister was also a great person.
He didn’t even tell his family that he bought a house. If he’s not a genius, then what is he?
He asked in a chattering manner, and Wang Yunyun answered selectively.
After Jian Li watched them leave and was about to clean up the house, she received a call from Gu Hong.
Gu Hong was particularly excited on the phone.
"Xiao Li, I sold a PHS!"
Jian Li perked up and immediately asked where the goods were and delivered them herself.
A good start is here!
