After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 115 Practice brings true knowledge

This was all planned by Zhou Haoran.

Only by making large quantities of copies can we expand the bookselling business!
This is real summer exercise.

As for those 200 boxes of books...

In fact, it is just a small test before the big business.

1. Test the market reaction and the strength of demand.

Second, test the price.

Third, let the students gain experience by doing a small project first. Then, we will select the motivated and capable students and then further promote the "Secrets to the Top Scorers in the College Entrance Examination" city-wide.

Fourth, you can make some small money first.

Each person received several hundred or several thousand.

It also has persuasive power on the parents' side so that they can support their subsequent travels across the city.

If you are publishing a book, you need to apply for the corresponding edition number.

This is difficult to apply.

But photocopies are different.

This does not constitute publishing, but rather photocopying of learning materials, which can circumvent the restriction on book publishing.

Dongfang Lang raised some different opinions.

Zhou Haoran asked, "What's wrong with that?"

Dongfang Langdao said, "According to our previous idea, we should use the college entrance examination scores to add a halo to each box of books and set different prices. The higher the college entrance examination score, the higher the price of the book, right?"

"Correct."

Zhou Haoran indeed thought so.

"Wrong." Dongfang Lang shook his head. "I used to think so too, but it was only after I started selling books that I finally felt firsthand the truth that practice makes perfect."

Zhou Haoran opened his eyes wide, "Isn't it?"

Dongfang Lang said, "That's right. Books with high scores don't necessarily become more popular!"

"what reason?"

"Because books with high scores are not necessarily of high value."

"Hmm?" Zhou Haoran frowned slightly. "Gaokao scores are brand value. The higher the score, the higher the brand value."

Dongfang Lang thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Besides brand value, is there any practical value?"

Zhou Haoran seemed to understand something and said suddenly, "You're right. Books with high college entrance examination scores are not necessarily more practical than books with low scores."

Dongfang Lang was delighted by the recognition and said, "Take textbooks, for example. Textbooks are all the same citywide. But ours are incredibly popular. It's not because the textbooks themselves are popular, but because of the valuable notes and reflections that students who have been admitted to prestigious universities have made on them."

"That's true." Zhou Haoran narrowed his eyes, already catching up with his train of thought. "However, not all top students like to take notes in textbooks!"

Dongfang Lang smiled and said, "Yes, that's right! Some people might have mysophobia, or they might just be too fond of their books. There's not even a single punctuation mark on the textbooks; they're spotless, like new. Even if a top scorer in the college entrance exam had used a book like this, no one would want one!"

Zhou Haoran laughed.

I find it very interesting.

For other second-hand book projects, the cleaner and newer the book is, the higher its value.

This book selling project also sells second-hand books.

But it's completely the opposite.

If you take too good care of books, they will look like new, and thus have no value.

The more you write down and picture in the book, the more valuable it will be.

Dongfang Lang went on to say, "Another point is that it's not just about the amount of recorded content, but also the quality of the content."

"Hmm?" Zhou Haoran truly lacked experience in this area. "The top students in our school, do their notes have poor quality?"

"Not bad, very good!"

Dongfang Lang is proud of his alma mater.

"What's the problem?"

“Because the content quality is so good!”

"what?"

Zhou Haoran was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Dongfang Langdao said, "For example, our class monitor Wang Wenrui's math book has caused a lot of controversy. He records things that are beyond the syllabus, such as calculus, which is not required in high school."

"It really is!"

Zhou Haoran now understood why Dongfang Lang said this plan was not feasible.

The gap between students is too big! Yude High School is a key high school in the city.

There is a group of senior famous teachers in charge.

Therefore, we often talk about knowledge that is beyond the syllabus and is not originally part of high school.

Knowledge beyond the syllabus can be the key to widening the gap between top students!
For example, the last two big questions in a math test.

It will be difficult.

Most of the students will lose points.

But for the top students of Yude High School, mathematics is the key subject for them to score points.

The full score is 150 points, and a large part of the test scores exceeded 140 points.

The last two big questions made the difference in scores.

It is indeed difficult to solve it using high school knowledge!

However, if you use some college-level calculus knowledge to solve it, you can use dimensionality reduction to attack and easily solve some difficult problems on the college entrance examination mathematics papers, thereby getting high scores.

The same is true for mathematics, English, physics, chemistry and Chinese.

This creates an extremely high cognitive threshold.

Yude High School can.

Other high schools cannot reach this level.

After all, for most students, they can’t even understand high school knowledge, so how can they have the energy to learn some university knowledge beyond the syllabus?

For top students, when they take notes, they only remember some difficult knowledge.

It’s simple and you can understand it at a glance, so why should you remember it?
This will be very painful for many ordinary high school students.

Dongfang Langdao said, "The books we sell are all from students who have been admitted to prestigious universities. These books all have a common problem. They don't cover simple knowledge points, but they cover too many difficult ones. This is actually not very practical for ordinary high school students."

Zhou Haoran nodded and admitted, "This is indeed a link I overlooked before."

Dongfang Lang smiled and said, "However, our books can still be sold at a high price. There are enough outstanding students, and we have so few books, so we can still meet the market conditions where supply exceeds demand."

"But it won't work for large quantities of photocopies."

Zhou Haoran felt that the plan had to be changed.

"Yes, it's not suitable. Especially for the books written by the top scorers in the college entrance examination, the threshold is even higher. I saw Sheng Weicheng's notebook of wrong answers, and it was really... Just think about it, if he could get the questions wrong, how difficult must they be? Questions of this difficulty are actually unnecessary for most high school students to be able to solve."

Dongfang Lang bent down.

Two cardboard boxes were found from under the bed.

One box contains books by Sheng Weicheng, the top scorer in science; the other box contains books by Ma Huilei, the top scorer in liberal arts.

After Zhou Haoran was reborn, he attended high school for a few months.

It was because he had reviewed his high school knowledge that he was able to be admitted to Fudan University successfully.

He picked up a physics book by Sheng Weicheng.

Flipped it over.

As expected, there was very little recorded information, and the book was clean.

There are also those mock exam papers for senior high school.

After reading it, I was even more speechless.

Basically all correct.

Even if there are mistakes, they are just problems with some details, so one or two points will be deducted.

There are no major changes.

I opened the book "Key Points for College Entrance Examination" again.

This is not actually a book, but a photocopy.

There are two volumes in total.

This is a collection of key points from various subjects compiled by a renowned teacher at Yude High School. Every student at Yude High School has a copy; this is a valuable supplementary material, unique to Yude High School and not available at other schools.

After a quick look, I found it was really clean, without even a single punctuation mark.

As good as new.

Seeing him rummaging around, Dongfang Lang said, "Don't look anymore. I've already picked everything. Just look at this big notebook. This is Sheng Weicheng's error book. From his freshman year to his junior year of high school, all his mistakes are written here. This is the most valuable one."

Zhou Haoran took it and looked at it for a few seconds.

I found that it is not widely available.

Very useful for top students.

For most high school students, the practical value is not high. Many of the problem-solving methods in it are beyond the syllabus. In the eyes of some mediocre teachers, they are "not tested in the college entrance examination" and are useless!
