After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yang felt a little excited.
The conditions proposed by Lao Xu really satisfied him. If Xinhua Bookstore only needs 25% of sales, then the printing and sales costs can be controlled within 45%, and the remaining 55% is pure profit.
Not to mention anything else, the 400,000 sets of "Self-study Books on Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" currently stored in the warehouse can bring them a net profit of 2.5 million yuan.
"Shi Di Sheng's Self-Study Series" is a little cheaper, but the price of a set is 8 yuan, and there are 1.3 million sets of 300,000 sets.
Including those mock test papers, the institute can make a small profit of 5 million from this transaction alone.
What's more, this is just the beginning.
From now until the end of the college entrance examination next spring, there is almost half a year. During this period, every day can be regarded as the peak sales period for college entrance examination review materials.
Without taking other factors into consideration, the printing factory can currently print three to four hundred thousand sets of "Series" and millions of mock test papers in one month. What a terrifying profit this will be.
Also, with the blessing of these college entrance examination artifacts, candidates in Saibei Province will definitely have an advantage this year.
When the college entrance examination results come out, they will definitely shock the whole country. By then, the review materials of their printing factory will definitely become famous.
Think about the excellent college entrance examination tutoring materials in the past life, which one was not in short supply despite being sold at sky-high prices.
It can be said that from now on, their Babaoliang Research Institute will start to make money while lying down.
Of course, making money is a good thing, but how to allocate the money must be planned in advance.
The bulk of it must belong to the research institute, and it must be used for project research first.
But the staff and cadres of the printing factory and the two "gold medal editors" should not be forgotten. After all, they are the heroes of this gluttonous feast.
And this matter must be decided in advance, otherwise when the money is divided, some people may be reluctant to part with it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang immediately asked his secretary Xu Linfang to notify the main cadres of the institute to go to the conference room for a meeting immediately.
Soon, the small conference room of the institute was filled with people, and several deputy directors and heads of various departments arrived one after another.
Seeing that people had almost arrived, Secretary Xu invited Zhou Yang over.
As soon as Zhou Yang walked into the conference room door, he heard Guo Yamin couldn't help but complain: "My Director Zhou, you are really terrible, why are you having a meeting at this time!"
"What's wrong?"
"Our experiment over there is reaching a critical moment. If it fails, it will waste a lot of money!"
"Then you should tell Secretary Xu and just ask for leave and not come over!"
Zhou Yang had figured out his teacher's tricks for a long time. The old man must have had other motives when he said this. Unsurprisingly, he wanted to take this opportunity to "make a splash" and get himself to allocate funds to him.
Sure enough, his next words revealed his true thoughts: "You, the director, told us to come to a meeting. If we don't come, we won't give you face. As for the experiment, if it failed this time, try it again next time." , but you, the director, have to reimburse us for this money!"
"After talking for a long time, the core content of your talk is just two words - give me money!"
Hearing this, everyone in the conference room couldn't help laughing.
But Guo Yamin said with a wry smile: "It's not possible without money. We have done 11 experiments this month and failed 11 times. Our department's 80,000 yuan funding is almost gone!"
"There is a problem in that place. Have you found the reason?" Zhou Yang asked immediately.
"It's still a matter of miniaturization. I wanted to make the size smaller, but the performance was a bit stretched. If we give it a little more time, it should be able to meet the requirements!" Guo Yamin said.
"good!"
Then Zhou Yang looked at everyone present and said, "Actually, I called you here today because I wanted to talk to you about funding issues!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room subconsciously sat up straight, and everyone looked at Zhou Yang.
For any scientific researcher, ability is important, but more important is having sufficient funds.
This may not sound logical, but if you think about it carefully you will understand.
If you have the ability but no money, everything is just a fantasy and has no value.
But if the ability is not top-notch, but there is sufficient scientific research funding, then the results will be different.
The conclusions and data that geniuses can obtain in one experiment can also be obtained by those with weaker abilities through money. This is the role of money in scientific research work.
"Everyone, our scientific research funding has been tight in the past two years. From the establishment of the institute to the present, the funding allocated to us is only more than 2 million, which is not small, but definitely not much."
Just when everyone thought Zhou Yang was going to ask everyone to save money, they heard his voice change and he said loudly: "But from now on, we will completely reverse the situation of insufficient funds. We don't need to tighten our belts in the future." Have a good time!”
"Buzz!"
Hearing this, everyone in the conference room was stunned. Everyone looked at Zhou Yang, wondering what he meant by this.
"Director, you mean we have money?"
"Director, the money you're talking about doesn't mean the millions of dollars in payment given by the military. Although that money is large, it only comes once a year, so it can't afford to be made!"
"Yes, although we do have some money in our account, we can't..."
.......
Listening to everyone discussing this matter, Zhou Yang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then lightly knocked on the conference table in front of him.
Soon, the conference room became quiet again.
"Everyone, you have misunderstood. When I talk about solving the problem of insufficient funds, I don't mean the military's millions in payments, but we have other ways to make money!" Zhou Yang said.
"What kind of path can support such a large research institute like ours?" Guo Yamin asked curiously.
"Printing shop!"
"???"
Looking at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Zhou Yang briefly explained the situation about the explosion of college entrance examination materials, and at the same time also expressed his predictions for the future of the printing factory.
After listening to what Zhou Yang said, the conference room was quiet for several minutes.
After a while, everyone finally came to their senses, and then heard Guo Yamin say again: "Director, you are saying that Xiao Chen's little broken factory has earned four to five million for our office in the past few months. From now on, How many millions can you earn every month?”
"Yes, judging from the current situation, it's not a big problem!" Zhou Yang said.
"hiss!"
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. With a monthly income of several million, I am afraid that only those large factories with national prefixes can have this ability, such as fertilizer plants, steel plants, tractor factories, etc.
As for the printing factory, it seems that no factory has such capabilities for the time being, let alone a small third-tier factory like them.
"Oh, to be honest, I was a bit disdainful of Lao Chen's printing factory before, but I didn't expect them to be so powerful!"
"That's because the printing factory is so good. It's because our Director Zhou is so good. Didn't you see that he was already prepared!"
"I don't care who is great. I'm just thinking about how we should spend the money we have in our institute..."
........
After signaling everyone to be quiet again, Zhou Yang coughed lightly and said: "At the printing factory, after deducting costs, the net profit accounts for almost 55% of the total revenue." I want to hear how these revenues are arranged. Opinion! "
After hearing this, everyone immediately became excited.
"What's so easy to arrange? Can't we just leave it all to the office and then the office will distribute it uniformly?" Li Manqiu, the director of the finance department, said with a smile.
"What you said is nice, but the printing company is happy that after working so hard for so long, you don't want to leave anyone a dime. Is it appropriate?" Guo Yamin said.
Zheng Aiguo also echoed: "I think Lao Guo is right. It is not good not to leave some money for the printing factory. After all, the money is earned by the comrades in the printing factory!"
"Director, don't listen to Lao Li. He is just used to finance. When he sees money, he wants to allocate his own one-third of an acre..."
While everyone was expressing their opinions and thoughts, Zhou Yang suddenly said: "In addition to giving a share to the printing house, shouldn't you think about giving some to the authors of those books?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned!
After a long time, Guo Yamin couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible that the authors have not been paid for the books in the printing factory?"
"No!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "In fact, not only were the authors not paid, but the books we printed did not even have ISBNs. Strictly speaking, the books we printed were illegal publications!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chenghua on the side said, "Don't listen to the director's threats. He has already asked me to make up for the book numbers, but he didn't print them on the books in front!"
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If an illegal publication were to be published, the consequences would still be very serious.
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Although this loophole has been closed, the author's remuneration has not been paid to anyone at all!"
"This money cannot be saved, it must be given to others!" Guo Yamin said.
"Then how much should I give?"
"Who knows what the current regulations are regarding royalties?"
Hearing this, everyone in the conference room looked at me and me, but no one spoke...
