Holding the newly printed textbook in his hand, Li He was quite satisfied. There were not too many decorations on the cover. The green color was as delicate as a leaf bud, fresh and full of vitality. It only showed the basic elements such as the title of the book, the editor, the publisher, and so on. The background color was also a simple solid color.
The small red logo on the light green background was very eye-catching. Although it was not high-profile, it was enough to show that the book was from a good background. It was jointly written by "Education Publishing House of National Normal University", "China Middle School Education Research Center", and "more than 100 first-class teachers and provincial and municipal teachers and researchers".
The preface of each subject on the front page was written by two special-grade teachers and a professor of National Normal University. The last two pages of the book were the learning experiences and some learning methods of the college entrance examination top scorers.
Li He did not know the names of several college entrance examination top scorers, so he asked Mu Yan, "Which department are these people from? How come I don't know them?"
Mu Yan smiled, "Huaqing University, of course you don't know them."
"Why did you find all of them?"
Mu Yan said, "If we didn't find them, our school wouldn't be able to find so many college entrance examination top scorers. I asked Meng Jianguo to find them, and he knows most of them. One meal, two bottles of wine, no one is unwilling. "
"Alright, once this book is on the market, it will be unbeatable. It's just a matter of time before it dominates the world."
Mu Yan said, "Many money orders have arrived one after another. How do you think the money should be divided?"
"How much?" Li He knew that it was time to share the fruits of his labor. There were too many people who had participated in the process of doing favors.
"More than 470,000." Mu Yan couldn't believe it when he counted the number. It had only been half a year.
Li He didn't have any idea. He had invested less than 50,000 yuan in total. Of course, this didn't include the cost of opening a printing factory. The printing factory was a fixed investment, and the long-term profits belonged to him. Even if Mu Yan and the others wanted to print in the future, they would still have to pay.
"Give the money to the teachers who participated first. As long as they helped, treat them to a meal. Don't be stingy. We'll figure out how much is left in the end. "Mu Yan, Meng Jianguo, and Meng Jianguo were the only partners of the teaching assistant.
On Saturday morning, He Jun brought Secretary Wu and Chief Zhou to the hospital. It was just as Wang Hui had expected.
He Jun and Director Zhou walked in front with a small bag in their hands, smiling at Li He. He Jun entered the door and said, "We came to look for you a few times, but your door is always locked."
"My sister and I are usually at school. We only come back on days off." Li He welcomed them into the house.
Secretary Wu pointed at the things He Jun had piled on the table and said, "These are all things from my hometown. They taste the best. I guess it's hard for you to eat things from your hometown, so I brought some over."
In addition to cigarettes and alcohol, Li He also smelled sausages. It was much better than the last time. Last time, there were only two bottles of wine, two cartons of cigarettes, and a few bags of milk malt extract.
He looked at the three of them and noticed that they were different from the last time. This time, the word "worry" was written on their faces.
"Don't be so polite. I really don't know what to say." Li He quickly asked Four to make tea.
They talked about what happened last time. Secretary Wu said, "To be honest, Teacher Li, we really need your help this time. Do you have any news from your side?"
Li He finally felt his sincerity, but he pretended to be deep in thought and said, "I've asked for you. It's not a simple matter. It's a bit troublesome."
"We know it's troublesome, so please be more careful. I'm a useless secretary, but we're a poor county at the national level. You have to understand. "
This time, it was Secretary Wu who spoke. To him, these self-deprecating words were heartfelt.
"Yes, yes, I understand." Li He could only respond casually.
Taking counties as a unit, counties with an annual per capita income of less than 150 yuan in 1985 were considered poor counties. But today, there were more and more poor counties. "Poor counties are unwilling to take off their hats", "Fighting to be poor counties".
At noon, Li He wanted to stay for lunch. The three of them unanimously agreed and didn't refuse.
Li He asked Four, "Can you cook alone?"
Four said, "It's fine. Let's eat hotpot. Two is enough."
"That's fine. It's cold, the dishes will get cold soon." Li He felt that this was good.
"Bro, the liquefied gas is out of gas again."
"Is it enough for this meal?" Li He shook the 15 kilogram gas tank and felt that there was still a lot left. The price of this gas tank was rising rapidly. It went from 2 yuan to 3 yuan. Many people couldn't bear to use it anymore. Now on the market, except for tap water, which remained unchanged at 12 cents per ton, everything else was increasing in price. The most common match had risen from 2 cents to 3 cents.
Li He felt that it was time to increase the rent of his house. It should be raised from 13 yuan per square meter to 20 yuan. It would be best to follow the market. Otherwise, the tenants would think that he was an idiot.
Lao Si was quick. He stewed the mutton and fish on the liquefied gas before putting them into the pot of alcohol.
He then washed some cabbages and coriander and used them to rinse the pot.
When everything was served, Li He smiled and said, "It's a bit crude."
Secretary Wu said, "This is good. It's very homely. It's good to eat in winter."
"Should we call the brother in the car to come in and eat with us?" Li He remembered that there should be a driver in the car. It wasn't easy to be a leader's driver.
"Ah, look at my bad memory," Secretary Wu slapped his head and said to He Jun. "Go and call Xiao Zhao to eat with us."
Xiao Zhao came in and Li He brought a chair for him. He smiled and said, "Comrade Zhao, long time no see."
"Teacher Li, you have a good memory," Xiao Zhao was He Jun's driver. He didn't expect Li He to still remember him. They had only had a drink together at a restaurant in the county two years ago.
There were five people at the table. Other than Xiao Zhao, who didn't drink while driving, the other four poured a big glass of wine.
"This wine is good," Secretary Wu put the glass under his nose and sniffed it. He didn't even taste it before he started praising, "The aroma of the wine comes from the cellar. The wine is only good when the cellar is old. I've never tried this kind of Maotai before. "
"Secretary Wu is a connoisseur," Li He took out a 54% Five Star Maotai. Most people couldn't find it on the market. It was Zha Haisheng who brought it over.
The wine was good, but it didn't go to the head. Everyone drank it without any hesitation. Three bottles of white wine were finished without much effort.
At the table, there were many praises for Li He, and Li He finally understood what Wang Hui meant. There was a way to ask for help, and there was a way to do it.
"Secretary Wu, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible. You know it's not easy," Li He smiled helplessly.
Secretary Wu stood up and said, "On behalf of the entire county, I thank you for this glass of wine. The people of the county will remember your contribution."
He almost said, "I'll remember your good deeds, and I'll protect you in the future."
Li He smiled, stood up and raised his glass, "You're too kind, Secretary Wu. Don't worry, I'll do my best."
After eating and drinking, he still sent them out of the alley.
When he got home, he took the towel from Four, washed his face, and lay on the chair.
"It's going to be a holiday soon. If you want to buy anything, bring it back to your hometown before it snows. We'll fly home this year."
Fourth Brother said happily, "Bro, are we really going to take the plane?"
"Of course we're flying, but we can only take the plane to the provincial capital. We'll still have to take the bus home." Li He was a little excited when he thought that he didn't need to take the train anymore.
"Sigh, I'll call Li Qiuhong and ask her to go shopping with me," Four said and extended his hand to Li He.
"What?"
"Give me 20 yuan. I don't have any money on me."
Li He said, "Isn't it all in the drawer? Take it yourself."
He never restricted Four from spending money, but Four was too careful and would unconsciously separate them. Her mind was filled with Wang Yulan's words. Before she came, Wang Yulan had told her not to bring trouble to her brother. He wasn't married yet, so he didn't have any money. Just wait for the northwest wind to blow.
