Let’s not talk about how Cao Jiajia educates her children. Let’s talk about Cao Zhiqiang. After leading people away with a lot of cheers, he went straight back to the publishing house.

As soon as I entered the publishing house, there were shouts from a room next to me, and a faint smell of smoke wafted out.

After frowning, Cao Zhiqiang did not go upstairs directly along the stairs in the middle, but walked to the side of the first floor and came to the door of a room.

After hearing that the sound came from this door, Cao Zhiqiang was not polite and gently opened the door.

After entering, I found that the place was smoky, with many people gathered around chatting and playing poker. It seemed that six people were enough to play poker.

The six people were so engrossed that when Cao Zhiqiang came in, no one noticed for a while.

Zhang Qianjin, who was still a bitch, couldn't help but cough, and then he alerted someone.

When he turned around and found Cao Zhiqiang, the man immediately trembled with fright. He quickly took off the Xiangyan in his mouth, threw it to the ground and stamped it out with his feet, and then said loudly: "Team leader, no, hello, general manager!"

With this voice, everyone came back to their senses and discovered the existence of Cao Zhiqiang.

As a result, people were smoking cigarettes, people were throwing poker cards, and the scene became chaotic.

Cao Zhiqiang squinted his eyes and found that he didn't recognize most of the people here, or was unfamiliar with them.

Then I remembered that these people were transferred from the Security Department to help.

Although Cao Zhiqiang said that he does not need anyone to protect him.

However, with Li Youfu's great success in Tianjin, the news inevitably spread back to the machinery factory.

No way, Li Youfu didn't go there by himself this time. He went there with heavily armed security personnel from the Machinery Factory in a big truck from the Transportation Department.

After the team arrived at the local area, they went directly to a machinery factory in Tianjin to settle down, and used the internal guest house of that machinery factory as their base camp.

Once this battle breaks out, it will be difficult for this team and that group to be used.

It is said that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, it is just because that dragon is not strong enough.

Now Li Youfu, with his heavily armed security personnel, has come to the Jinmen area relying on the momentum of the Hongguang Machinery Factory, and has also received comprehensive contacts from the local machinery factory. Can it be the same as ordinary individual traders?

Therefore, on the night when Li Youfu arrived in Jinmen, he hosted a banquet at a local state-owned guest house for some local wholesale dealers similar to his in the past, and then talked about the situation of selling books.

There are also many schools in Jinmen, such as Nankai University.

There are countless other middle schools and so on.

Moreover, because Jinmen is a coastal port, it often receives a large amount of overseas goods, so the popularity of martial arts novels is actually even greater than in Beijing.

When I heard about the purpose of Li Youfu's visit, especially when I heard that the book Li Youfu asked everyone to sell was a martial arts novel with the title of poetry collection, and it was selling like crazy in the capital, I was already a little interested.

You know, the capital city is very close to Tianmen. If there is any trouble in the capital, Jinmen will know it immediately.

Therefore, although "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" came out not long ago, people in Jinmen have heard about it.

Just because of well-known reasons, Xinhua Bookstore in Jinmen has not officially put this set of books on sale.

As a result, Xinhua Bookstore has not yet been listed on the market, and private channels have come first. The time difference here is all profit.

Moreover, this time Li Youfu also said that if you buy from him, you will not only get genuine products, but you will also get a 20% discount.

In other words, they can purchase a book worth ten yuan for eight yuan.

This is very attractive.

After all, in the past, it was impossible for their individual book sellers to purchase newly released books like this at a discount like Xinhua Bookstore did.

Now that they have this advantage, even if they sell it at the original price, they can still make two yuan from a set of books every time, which is great.

You know, these book sellers are different from Xinhua Bookstore.

Although Xinhua Bookstore can get very high discounts, they have a big business and high consumption.

But these book sellers are different. They are just their own group. They don't have any employees to support. They just eat as much as they earn, so the cost is much lower.

Therefore, the profit of two yuan for a set of books was already considerable for private book sellers in this period.

Not to mention, they may not sell according to the set price, they can definitely sell it higher than the set price.

In this way, in just one night, Li Youfu sold 500,000 units.

This is just a test of the water. If the test is successful, it will prove that this set of books is indeed a best-seller, and it will only become more powerful in the future.

However, half a million units is already quite good and a solid start.

You know, in this period, when selling books to private dealers, you would pay and deliver the goods.

So five hundred thousand sets, calculated at eight yuan a piece, is four million RMB!

As soon as this number came out, the group of accompanying security personnel was immediately frightened.

You know, it is not certain whether the entire Hongguang Machinery Factory can create benefits of four million yuan a year.

But here, in just one night's work, I got four million in small money!

This is cash, real cash!

Sack after sack of cash!

It can be said that those young security officers have never seen so much money in their lives!

After being frightened, the security guards called Chief Zeng immediately.

Section Chief Zeng was also frightened and quickly called Director Li to notify him.

Director Li woke up with a fright and called Secretary Dong overnight.

In the end, it was Secretary Dong who had a big heart and a fat body. He immediately made the decision and asked the factory to fully support Cao Zhiqiang’s great cause!

Then, early the next morning, the printing office of the machinery factory began to implement the long-lost three-shift policy and began to go all out to print the "Journey to Jianghu" set.

The reason is very simple. Before, only one million sets were printed, but later 380,000 sets were sold in the capital. Li Youfu just sold 500,000 sets in the Tianjin area in just one day.

The inventory is already running low now. If we don't print more, it will be too late if demand breaks out again in the future.

At the same time, the security department of Hongguang Machinery Factory also sent many security personnel to the printing office.

They also specially sent six elite soldiers from the security department to protect Cao Zhiqiang.

Unfortunately, Cao Zhiqiang didn't like these people following him, so he asked Sister Niu to oversee the arrangements.

When Cao Zhiqiang thought about it, it didn't matter if these people came, they would do everything from serving tea and water to cleaning.

In this way, other manpower can be freed up.

It's a pity that because Hongguang Publishing House was founded not long ago, all the rules and regulations are not perfect, which is the so-called "flat management".

This kind of unit itself is very loose, and its responsibilities and powers are not clear enough.

In this case, six security personnel were suddenly sent from above, and it was unclear who was in charge of whom.

After all, strictly speaking, these people in the security department are not employees of the publishing house.

In other words, in such a large Hongguang Publishing House, only Cao Zhiqiang, who is also the "Head of the Comprehensive Business Group of the Factory Office of Hongguang Machinery Factory", can manage them both nominally and actually.

But Cao Zhiqiang likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper, letting Sister Niu take care of things, and then run away.

So after these people arrived, Sister Niu had to arrange a large room first, and temporarily put up a sign for the duty room, so that these people could watch the door for a while.

But because no one cared about them, this group of people began to gather in the room to play cards, smoke, chat and drink tea. They were just lazing around in boredom, just like they usually did.

Yes, the Security Department is actually a relatively leisurely department. As long as they have nothing to do, they are basically in this state, that is, they get together to play cards, chat, smoke and drink tea.

You definitely don’t dare to drink, at least not during work. That is a violation of factory rules and regulations, and if you violate factory regulations and disciplines seriously, you will be fired.

It was discovered that Cao Zhiqiang had been sullen and silent, and the six sent security personnel did not dare to speak.

The reason is very simple. When they came, Section Chief Zeng had specifically told them that Cao Zhiqiang was a person of great concern to the superiors and would be everyone's future bread and butter.

From now on, everyone's wages and bonuses will be taken care of by the "Factory Office Comprehensive Business Group" led by Cao Zhiqiang.

Therefore, when these people come to the publishing house, they must listen to Cao Zhiqiang, otherwise, even if Cao Zhiqiang spares them, Section Chief Zeng will not be able to spare them.

In serious cases, expulsion is possible.

Now that we have said this, can we all be careful?

This silence lasted for a full minute before Cao Zhiqiang spoke first: "I know that you are sent by the factory to protect the publishing house. In this case, is this the way to protect the publishing house? You hide in the office and play poker all day? You haven't played enough.

class?"

After the six people looked at each other in disbelief, a middle-aged man who was the oldest in Kuaishou finally said:

"General Manager, it's like this. When we came, our superiors told us that we were only here to protect you personally, but you didn't let us follow you and told us to stay here. We, we had to wait here."

Cao Zhiqiang rolled his eyes: "Is that still my fault?"

"How can that be possible?" The stocky middle-aged man chuckled.

"That's right, General Manager Cao, since we are sent here to protect you from above, if you are not willing to let us protect you, you can also give us some work to do.

As long as you ask, we promise to obey your orders without any ambiguity.

However, you have never given the order, so we can only play cards to relieve our boredom."

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Didn't I ask Sister Niu to arrange work for you?"
