Chapter 90 He's here! He's here! He's here with the exercises!
Li Jie had no idea about the emotional entanglement between Su Meng and Cheng Jianjun. Even if he knew about it, he wouldn't care about it. We are not the same people, so why force them to get together.
(The last chapter was blocked. Let’s briefly talk about the plot. Su Meng’s father was diagnosed with severe coronary heart disease and needed heart bypass surgery, which was very expensive. Finally, she planned to borrow money from Cheng Jianjun. In addition, Cheng Jianjun heard about the protagonist
I am secretly proud of the news about being self-employed.)
Li Jie has been waiting for notification at home these days. For his first business move after graduation, he set his sights on the teaching aid book market.
In 1979, Modu Education Press published a book called "Primary School Mathematics Worksheets". The paper of this book was not refined enough. It was simply printed with ink. The binding was also very random, and the content was relatively dull and not innovative enough.
However, even so, this tutorial book still ranked No. 1 in sales of primary school students’ mathematics teaching aids that year.
Just because this book came to life, educational publishing houses across the country followed suit. At that time, as long as there were publishing quotas for teaching supplementary books, they all made a lot of money.
Due to the restriction on teaching aid book quotas, other publishing houses could only stare blankly. However, with the gradual progress of reform and opening up, the restrictions on the teaching aid book publishing quota were slowly relaxed.
As a result, a large number of publishing houses have fallen out of business and want to make a fortune from it. However, many publishing houses lack R&D capabilities, so the most efficient way is to 'copy' every word.
There are a lot of articles copied all over the world, and whoever sells them well and has high sales volume will be copied. The teaching aid market is full of chaos. Matryoshka dolls and tailors are everywhere. Even the names of some teaching aids are very similar. If you don't pay attention,
, maybe I bought the wrong one.
If you want to avoid the fate of being plagiarized, there is only one way to do it. Put on an official coat and enter the teaching aids of red-headed documents. Basically no one dares to plagiarize.
However, Li Jie didn't want to do this. He had special skills to avoid the tricks of plagiarists.
Plagiarism is just to make money. Your charity lecture by a famous teacher in Haidian sells for RMB 1.5, but I piece together something similar and it is 30 cents cheaper than you and sells it for RMB 1.2.
Everyone’s content is similar, but my price is so much cheaper than yours, how can you compete with me?
Li Jie's method to crack down on counterfeit booksellers and pirated booksellers is very simple. As long as I keep the price low enough, so low that you have no interest in copying, and there is no value in piracy.
Then, naturally there will be no competitors in the same category on the market.
The teaching aids compiled by Li Jie are a series, covering primary school to junior high school. He has no plans to cover the high school stage for the time being. After this series of books becomes an instant hit, he will not be late to enter the high school market.
The name of this series of books is very simple and crude, it is called the Dime Books Series for Primary School Students/Middle School Students.
Each book is priced at ten cents. Looking across the country, a ten cent teaching aid can be used by every child.
Series, as the name suggests, it is a series. Each book is only the size of an adult's palm. The shape can refer to the Little Man Book, which covers various subjects such as Chinese, algebra, geometry, English, etc.
For example, the primary school mathematics series is divided into 10 books in total, distilling a semester's knowledge content into a thin small manual, so that students can review it at any time.
Compared with other teaching aids on the market, the book written by Li Jie cannot simply condense knowledge points. This set of teaching aids written by him is more interesting and pays great attention to the cultivation of thinking.
Of course, this set of books is not without its shortcomings. Because of the dime price, if you want to make a profit, you must compress costs as much as possible. Therefore, in terms of paper, ink and printing, the dime series has no advantages at all, and is even cheaper.
Compared with other teaching aids on the market.
What Li Jie can guarantee is that the content of each book is clearly visible and all the knowledge points in it are accurate.
In addition to the vivid and interesting content of this set of books, the rest is cheap, very cheap, even students in rural areas can afford it.
Even if they cannot afford the complete set, students can buy it in batches according to their own needs and then borrow it from each other.
In order to ensure that the selling price of one cent is still profitable, Li Jie spent a lot of thought.
Anyone who knows a little bit about the printing industry knows that the greater the number of books printed, the lower the converted cost will be, but now larger printing plants are all state-owned.
If you personally want to negotiate business with a large printing company, they will ignore you at all.
In the end, Li Jie used Yang Jianhua's connections to get it done. When Yang Jianhua saw that the book was priced at 10 cents, his shocked expression was really beyond words.
After nearly two months of busy work, the book production, channels, etc. are all ready. We just need to confirm the book number and production can start immediately.
"Chunming! Chunming! I have your phone number!"
At noon, the old man from the alleyway rushed to the door of the courtyard and shouted in the direction of the Han family.
Li Jie heard the old man's call and immediately walked out of the room.
In this era, if there is no phone at home, communication is so inconvenient. When the first paging station is opened in Shanghai next year, the situation will get slightly better.
Before the 1980s, except for post offices and work units, there were almost no telephones in other places. Private telephones had to reach a certain level (prefectural and municipal leaders and above) to be eligible for installation.
After the 1980s, with the reform and opening up, the policy was slowly relaxed to the county level and streets, and then there were public telephones.
According to regulations, Li Jie is indeed qualified to install telephones now, but the telephone installation fee is too expensive. Installing a telephone will cost an ordinary worker a year's salary.
If the Han family installed a telephone, the whole alley would be in a state of shock. There is absolutely no need to do this.
When Li Jie rushed to the store, he hung up the phone a long time ago. This was normal. The phone bill was not cheap. The old man came back and forth for several minutes and couldn't keep hanging up.
When he saw the number written down by the uncle on the manuscript paper, Li Jie knew what was going on.
The call was from the school. As expected, the book number should have been issued.
Li Jie called back, beeped twice, and the call was connected.
Two minutes later, Li Jie hung up the phone with a smile.
Approval passed!
Although the process was somewhat tortuous, it was finally passed. Teacher Gao told him on the phone that the key reason why this set of books was approved was the pricing of the books.
The price of a dime is cheap enough that every household can afford it. After research and discussion, it was found that this book will help improve the learning quality of primary and secondary school students across the country, so this quota can be obtained.
