Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

When I got back to my office, it was almost eleven o'clock!

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Yang saw female secretary Xiao Jinghong hurried in and reported: "Chief, Director Ding of the Third Printing Factory just called you. You are not here. I asked him to call again later. Do you think you should give him a call back?"

"Okay, is there anything else?" Zhou Yang asked while packing up the things on his desk.

"Yes, I received a notification from the capital this morning saying that the field service group we sent to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang has successfully returned to the capital and is expected to return to the unit tomorrow!" Xiao Jinghong said.

Zhou Yang knew that the field service group she was talking about was Chen Shanhe and Yun Changjie.

It has been a month and a half since they arrived at the front line in southern Xinjiang. As part of logistical support, their most important task in the past was to teach maintenance skills.

Because of this, they don't need to be on the front lines for long periods of time.

"I understand, let Lao Gu prepare. When Professor Chen and others return to the unit, we can hold a welcome ceremony for them!" Zhou Yang said.

"Yes!"

Then Xiao Jinghong looked at Zhou Yang again and said: "Chief, if there is nothing else, I will go back and deal with the matter first!"

"Okay, let's go!"

When Zhou Yang was the only one left in the office, he immediately picked up the phone and called the Third Printing Factory in Qingcheng!

"Dududu..."

After a few busy signals, Ding Can's familiar voice suddenly sounded on the other side of the phone: "Hello, Printing Factory No. [-], who is this?"

"Director Ding, this is Zhou Yang. I heard from the secretary that you called me?" Zhou Yang said.

"Yes, leader, I want to report something to you. Is it convenient for you?"

"What's going on, tell me!" Zhou Yang said.

"Well, our factory is responsible for printing "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions". Yesterday, they started to be sold in Xinhua Bookstores across the country under the name of "Four Great Classics". The sales volume on the first day has just been released. Got it!" Ding Can said.

"Oh, how's it going?"

“首日全国共卖出33万册，其中《三国演义》卖出7万册、《水浒传》6万册、《西游记》12万册、《红楼梦》8万册！”丁灿回答道。

"Sales are so high?" Zhou Yang said with some surprise.

Although the current price of such a classic is not high, only 5 or 6 yuan per copy, it is still a bit shocking that 33 copies were sold in one day.

Ding Can said with a smile: "That's because we made preparations in advance. We shipped these books to Xinhua Bookstores in various provinces and cities many days in advance, and asked Xinhua Bookstore to cooperate in promoting these works in advance."

"Coupled with the fact that it is released on the same day, the effect is naturally very good, but this situation generally does not last long, so it is hard to say how much the final sales volume will be!"

Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Relax, your factory will continue to work overtime and print according to the original plan. At the same time, you can also print some other famous works."

Zhou Yang knew how vital the Four Great Classics were. He was really not afraid that no one would buy them after printing them!

"Yes, our factory has already arranged the production, and there will be no mistakes!" Ding Can said.

"it is good..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yang was in a good mood.

With the gimmick of the Four Great Classics, the sales of those classics will inevitably skyrocket in a short period of time, and they will achieve mutual success together with this gimmick.

Undoubtedly, the printing house has another way to make money.

If nothing else happens, the profits of the printing factory will rise sharply again this year.

"Ring bell bell..."

Just as Zhou Yang was imagining the impact of this incident, the phone on the table rang again.

Zhou Yang immediately picked up the phone and asked, "Who is it?"

"Old Zhou, it's me, Lu Zhengjun!"

"Lao Lu, why did you think of calling me today?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

Lu Zhengjun immediately said: "Lao Yan had new news yesterday, so I'll let you know!"

"Oh, how is he doing over there?" Zhou Yang asked immediately.

"It's pretty good... No, I should say it's better than expected!" Lu Zhengjun said excitedly.

"How good is it?"

"According to the financial report sent by Lao Yan, as of the end of March, Yuanwei Company had created a profit of nearly 3 billion..."

Before Lu Zhengjun finished speaking, Zhou Yang said with a surprised look on his face: "How...how much?"

"20 billion, what's wrong?"

"Hong Kong dollar?"

"No, it's a beautiful sword!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but take a breath.

Good guy, this is 20 billion US dollars!

No wonder he was so surprised. The main reason is that money is really valuable these days. Last year, they only earned less than one billion US dollars after a year of hard work.

Zhou Yang’s goal for the Sickle Plan this year is to increase the scale of the industry under the Sickle Plan to 50 billion.

But they never expected that in the first quarter, Yan Gengdong and others would almost complete the task.

Lu Zhengjun smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't be surprised. It turns out you are just like ordinary people like us!"

"Lao Lu, do you have some misunderstanding about the concept of ordinary people? Are you still an ordinary person with your background?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"Why am I no longer an ordinary person? Forget it, I won't tell you this anymore!"

Then Lu Zhengjun said again: "Lao Yan and the others have achieved such amazing results this year, which is mainly directly related to the investment in the Middle East. According to their statistics, they earned US$15 billion from this alone!"

"In addition, the company's traditional pharmaceutical business also made a lot of profits, with a total of US$1.2 million in the first quarter. Their investment in Hong Kong Island also made more than US$3 million, with a total profit of 19.7 billion!"

"It's very good. It seems that their income is stable this year!" Zhou Yang said happily.

"of course!"

Then Lu Zhengjun said again: "Furthermore, Lao Yan said that the contraceptive pill you provided passed the listing requirements of the Hong Kong Island government last week and was officially launched for sale. The effect is very good!"

"How are the sales?"

"The sales volume is average, with less than HK$200 million sold in one week, but everyone who has used it says it is good. It is said that many special places on Hong Kong Island are now equipped with small blue pills and these small red granules! " Lu Zhengjun said.

Hearing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. With these two drugs, it would be difficult for Yuanwei Company not to make a fortune.

"As long as the effect is good, let them continue to promote the new contraceptive pill. This will become another important growth point for Yuanwei Company!" Zhou Yang said.

"Ok!"

Then Lu Zhengjun said again: "According to Lao Yan, pharmaceutical companies in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other countries have noticed this drug and have begun to actively contact Yuanwei Company. So he wants to ask you, do you want us to sell this drug? Products or patents?”

"It's OK. If the production capacity can keep up, we will sell the products. If the production capacity cannot keep up, we will license it, but we will never sell the patents!" Zhou Yang said.

"Understood, I will inform Lao Yan and the others!"

"Well, by the way, let Lao Yan and the others conduct clinical trials on Plavix as soon as possible and then apply for listing. Medicine is the fundamentals of Yuanwei Company." Zhou Yang said.

"it is good!"

Then Lu Zhengjun seemed to have remembered something, and then said: "By the way, let me tell you another good news. Lao Yan may be coming back in a while!"

"What, come back?"

Lu Zhengjun nodded and said, "Well, our Ministry of Commerce is now cooperating with the Beijing Investment Promotion Bureau to specially invite a group of Hong Kong businessmen who are interested in investing in the mainland to come to us for investment inspections in June and July."

"After some consideration, the minister and the leaders above decided to add Lao Yan's name to the invitation list. If nothing else happens, Lao Yan will take this opportunity to come back and have a look!"

"Hahaha, that's good. If he is sure to come back, you must tell me in advance!" Zhou Yang said.

"That's for sure. Let's have a good time when he comes back!"

"Row..."
