The four people spent a day checking their handwriting and basically listed the list of favors and oppositions. There were more than a dozen names that were undetermined. Yang Rui was preparing to stay in the reserve group for observation.

At this point, the preparations were basically completed. Yang Rui took the manuscript of the first volume of the new concept English and went straight down the mountain to find his cousin.

In the 1980s, the profits of printing books were very high, especially the profits of pirated books were higher, and there were often more than 50% of the cost, and there were 200% of the examples.

It is also a new concept English. Several domestic publishing houses have printed extensively without authorization. The money they earn not only allowed employees to spend several years, but also opened new office buildings, replaced brand new equipment, removed extremely high administrative costs, and made profits of millions or tens of millions.

Yang Rui didn't ask for his ability to compare with such large publishing houses. He just liked a little over one acre of land near Xi County. Considering the fate of his senior pirate Huo Laosi and others, Yang Rui chose Shi Gui as his intermediary this time, and all the work he had dealt with the outside world was handed over to him.

Although Shi Gui was also a smart person, he was not as far as Yang Rui thought. Instead, he was secretly happy and hoped that he could keep his personal connections after contacting the other printing factory.

Both of them have their own ideas, but they cooperate well.

Duan Hang took Shi Gui to recognize the door, and the latter accompanied the director of Jiefang Printing Factory to drink two meals, and then he understood the other party’s needs.

When Shi Gui came back to report, he was still dizzy, and he felt like a walnut was stuffed into his mouth, saying, "Then the grandson wants 1,000 yuan."

"What?" Yang Rui temporarily lived in Duan Hang's dormitory. He was shocked when he heard this number and asked, "Does it cost 1,000 yuan?"

"Yes, isn't it?" Shi Gui heard this number at the table and drank two glasses of wine and was shocked.

If you want to say too much, 1,000 yuan is not much. The profit of Ruixue Group for half a month is just one-fifth of the profit expected by Yang Rui to exchange the salary of the factory manager, which is more than one year or two years of salary.

However, the prices of products in different eras are different, and the same is true for bribery. In 1982, there were not a single official who took the initiative to ask for bribes, but the number was very small. What people call back doors generally meant to carry two bottles of wine and two cigarettes, the price ranged from tens of yuan to tens of yuan.

With the best standards, two bottles of Moutai and two Chinese are not up to the standard of 100 yuan. It is nothing more than the rare thing being expensive, making it more difficult to find a ticket.

On the other hand, in Chinese society, where even the commodity economy has not started, people don’t have much money to work. They take out 1,000 yuan to hold a wedding or have a two-month trip to the mainland of the motherland. There is no problem at all.

Before the merchants began to corrupt the party cadres with the RMB, it was too unexpected for Yang Rui to dare to ask for 1,000 yuan.

"Do you give it?" Shi Gui had a faint expectation. He could not afford such an expensive thread, and only Yang Rui could try it.

Yang Rui kept smiling bitterly and said, "Even if I am willing to give it, I don't dare to give it."

Shi Gui wondered: "Why?"

Yang Rui shook his head: "This guy is too brave, something happens sooner or later. Such a large amount of bribery will definitely lead us out, and it will be troublesome at that time."

The crackdown ended in 1987. In other words, any criminal acts before this were high-risk. Although bribery is not a serious crime, when the judicial department has to use criminals to make up for the number, it is hard to say whether the serious crime is a serious crime or not.

If it were dozens or hundreds of yuan in cash, Yang Rui felt that it would not be dangerous, and he might have forgotten it himself. But it would be a bit difficult to forget the bribe of 1,000 yuan.

Shi Gui was also scared and sighed.

"Is Jiefang Printing Factory so popular?" Yang Rui was incredible.

"What's the point? The machine is older than the factory manager, and the tasks given by the superiors often fail to complete. The factory manager runs outside for a day, so the workers just go to work."

"But it's still a printing factory."

"Yes, no matter how bad it is, it is still a printing factory." Shi Gui was even more disappointed than Yang Rui because he didn't have to take any risks. If he took a commission for selling books, he would earn more than a paper, and the amount was also large.

Yang Rui thought about it for a long time but still couldn't give up. The printing factories in the province were so numerous that they were hard to speak. It was difficult to have such a straightforward person as the factory manager. At least they made a request.

According to Yang Rui's opinion, his social activity ability is still not as good as that of Huo Laosi. Since Huo Laosi chose this printing factory, there are reasons for choosing him...

Yang Rui suddenly felt his mind. A gangster like Huo Laosi was willing to give 1,000 yuan to bribe?

Then he is too ideal.

In this year, 1,000 yuan can buy 20 arms and legs.

Maybe Huo Laosi caught the factory manager’s handle?

Yang Rui couldn't figure it out, and thought for a moment, and asked, "Old Shi, this factory manager wants money? Did you say what to do?"

"It seems to be prepared for his son. As for what to do, I don't know very well."

"What age is the son?"

"About twenty years old, he mentioned, I'll think about it..." Shi Gui put on a thoughtful statement of middle-aged and elderly people.

Yang Rui accompanied him to guess: 1,000 yuan is not enough to study abroad, and now there are few cross-disciplinary or school choice fees. Even if there are other names, they dare not charge 1,000 yuan... for treatment? A factory manager has no other power, and it is not easy to reimburse medical expenses... This money is not much or too much, which is really confusing.

Shi Gui thought for a long time and almost simulated the movements on the table. Suddenly he slapped his forehead and said, "I understand, he is giving money to buy a house for his son."

"Buy a house? Is there a house sold now?" Yang Rui knew that he was wrong when he spoke, and quickly changed his words: "Does the policy allow him to buy a house?"

"It's not a house you bought." Shi Gui corrected it and whispered: "It's a cell in the prison."

"What's the meaning?"

"It seems that his son has been in prison and is often beaten in prison, so he asks people to change the room and then rushes to use the money. This is probably what it means." Shi Gui sighed twice and said: "If someone goes to prison, they don't treat you as a human being. No matter how much money they cost, this grandson is probably about to be squeezed out."

"Which prison?" Yang Rui estimated that Huo Laosi used the same method. He was a big gangster who entered the palace several times. He could do it by finding two people to cover the boy. If he didn't do it well, he would have to add the threat of beating him if he didn't print it.

Shi Gui shook his head: "I don't know."

“Are you nearby?”

"Of course, it's nearby, otherwise where can I find an acquaintance."

Yang Rui searched his memory and said, "If it weren't for the provincial capital prison, it would be Shaping Prison. If you can find an acquaintance, it would be Shaping Prison."

The provincial capital prison is a serious prison, and there are many violent criminals in detention. On the one hand, the management is strict, and on the other hand, the level is higher. Compared with regional prisons, it is much more difficult to find acquaintances.

Shi Gui widened his eyes and asked, "Do you have a way?"

"I'll try it, you go back first."

"Then... I'll go back first." Shi Gui had no choice but to turn around and left in one step.

Yang Rui asked his cousin Duan Hang that night to ask about this. Although the Prison Administration and the Police are two systems, they are all in the judicial circle after all. There are always two people who know each other.

If you use money, it is safer to use it here.

In comparison, the director of Jiefang Printing Factory is too rough. In foreigners' words, he may still have a tendency to self-destruct. Yang Rui doesn't want to get close to his range of death.

Duan Hang naturally had to ask people, and after one round, he used six bottles of wine and four cigarettes to get the matter done.

Only then did Yang Rui ask Shi Gui to go to the factory manager again to determine the printing matters.

It was also with this relationship that the other party agreed to Yang Rui’s request to deposit 2,000 yuan and print 10,000 copies for the first time.

However, Jiefang Factory suppressed 5,000 copies and had to wait for Yang Rui to pay the final payment before delivering the goods.

Yang Rui agreed without any hesitation.

The cost of printing 10,000 books is much lower than that of 5,000 books. In the current domestic environment, both students and parents are very particular. If the cost is not low enough and you make money, if some bold publishers or printing factories learn to do it, the market for the second and third volumes will be unstable.

In comparison, Yang Rui didn't care if he got back five thousand books, but ten thousand books.

"This time, I have to distribute goods from the provincial capital..." Yang Rui still found Shi Gui alone. He explained a few words first, then moved out a huge box and said, "There are 200 wallets here to be used as gifts for you."

"Gift?" Shi Gui couldn't understand that he opened the box, and there were indeed small wallets the size of a palm.

The wallet is made of cloth, but there is a surprise small zipper. Yang Rui bought it from Guangzhou through Shao Liang's previous home. The wholesale price of each is 20 cents and 5 cents. If it is sold on the market, it will probably be more than 50 cents.

Yang Rui nodded and said, "If someone buys ten books at a time, you can give him a wallet."

"Is it cost-effective to buy ten books and get a wallet?" Shi Gui rubbed the cloth.

"Fine. In addition, the price of the book is one yuan and eight, and it must be unified. Gifts must also have receipts."

"The problem is that there are very few people who buy ten books at a time."

"If you have gifts, you will give more. You have to remember that you can only get one wallet with ten books, but not nine books. In addition, you won't sell the wallet if you give it money..."

Shi Gui suddenly realized: "In this case, if they want a wallet, they have to collect ten people. Some of them don't want to buy them will be pulled over."

"Well, at the beginning, many people may not have understood the new concept English and need to use this method to promote it. After they read the book, it will be easier to sell." Yang Rui said seriously and said, "This time, you have to send me a telegram in time."

"Sure." Shi Gui frowned and stopped touching his small wallet.
