After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 138 Free Gift

Zhou Haoran can't use his mobile phone now.

Especially since he works in television.

Don't be too high-profile.

The leaders don’t even have mobile phones, and if he carries the latest model of Palm Mobile Phone, he will definitely be gossiped about.

In contrast, Dongfanglang really needs such a communication tool.

"I'll just take the lead on selling the books, and then I'll withdraw. You'll have to step up in the future." Zhou Haoran handed him his phone without hesitation. "When you negotiate with the school, leave your phone number so we can communicate at any time."

Dongfang Lang was a little scared. "This costs tens of thousands of dollars. If it gets broken..."

"If it's broken, just buy a new one!" Zhou Haoran waved his hand and said without hesitation, "Okay, it's settled."

Dongfang Lang held a mobile phone in his hand.

I don’t know whether to be happy or afraid.

Zhou Haoran reminded him, "Put your phone away properly, don't let anyone see it, and don't show it off everywhere, or someone might steal it!"

Dongfang Lang said solemnly, "I know!"

Zhou Haoran whispered, "The monitor is quite capable. He's quick to react and understands things. We'll have to rely heavily on him for the book sales. He'll be the one to handle it whenever possible. Your most important task is to collect the deposit and the balance, and to maintain close contact with the school."

Dongfang Lang said worriedly, "What if they hold it back and don't give it to me?"

"We're students, who wouldn't dare not pay?" Zhou Haoran snorted. "If we really meet someone who doesn't keep their word and keeps withholding the balance, we'll just resort to some brutal tactics."

"Ah?" Dongfang Lang's eyes widened. "What kind of wild tricks?"

Zhou Haoran said, "Just say you're going to the Education Bureau to cause trouble, or expose it on TV, or get a few people to hang banners at the school gate to stir things up..."

"Really?"

Dongfang Lang didn't dare to actually hold up banners and find people to cause trouble.

If this gets out of hand, he might not even be able to go to university.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Just a little scare will do. These state-owned enterprises are most afraid of someone causing trouble and causing a negative social impact, affecting their careers."

I had a meal at noon.

It cost more than 200 yuan.

This aggressive way of spending money really makes many students tremble with fear.

Continue selling books in the afternoon.

There is another No. 4 Middle School not far away.

However, No. 4 Middle School is not a key middle school.

Selling the "Top Scorer's Handbook" in a school like this may not be very popular.

But it’s hard to say.

Maybe the “top scorer in the college entrance examination” has some magical powers?

We need to go and investigate on site.

The principal of No. 4 Middle School is a female principal whose surname is Lu.

I'm not really interested in this set of books.

Especially when he heard that the price of a single copy was 15 yuan, his brows furrowed even more.

The students of ordinary middle schools come from much poorer families than those of key middle schools. Even if their children are not good at studying, they can still be arranged to study in key middle schools from wealthy and powerful families.

This time, Zhou Haoran spoke very little.

Mainly said by several other classmates.

I was very disappointed.

Principal Lu was not enthusiastic at all and had no plans to purchase anything.

Fortunately, with the experience of the morning, the children have become braver and dare to speak up.

Chen Zixuan said, "Principal Lu, the 'Top Scholar Handbook' contains a lot of valuable knowledge points, and it can also be very motivating for students. You can take a look at it first, it's really good."

Wang Wenrui learned it in the morning and started selling it in the afternoon. He said, "I believe that the fair distribution of education is more important than the reasonable distribution of education. Just because your grades are bad doesn't mean you're unworthy of the 'Top Scorer's Handbook.' A true educator should teach everyone." Principal Lu was indeed interested after hearing this. "Is your minimum order 1000 copies?"

Wang Wenrui was delighted to see her interest and said, "Yes, the minimum order is 1000 copies. If it's too few, or if the orders are fragmented, it will be too complicated for us to handle the printing and shipping."

"I don't need that many." Principal Lu wasn't unkind. She knew it wasn't easy for high school students to sell books door-to-door. "If possible, I can order 500 copies."

"This……"

Wang Wenrui felt embarrassed and looked at Zhou Haoran.

Zhou Haoran shook his head slightly.

If these were small, fragmented orders, a professional team would be able to handle them without any problems. However, this is a makeshift team, and the sheer volume of data makes processing too complex and error-prone.

Wang Wenrui said disappointedly, "Principal Lu, I'm afraid this won't work."

Principal Lu sighed, "Then there's nothing we can do."

This afternoon's deal is a failure.

Before leaving, Zhou Haoran took out a set of four sample copies of the "Top Scholar Handbook" and placed them on Principal Lu's desk.

"This is?"

Principal Lu was a little confused.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "We come here to sell books for two main reasons. One is to earn some money for college tuition and living expenses, and the other is to do something for high school students across the city and distribute some good educational resources."

Principal Lu said, "That's a good idea."

Zhou Haoran said, "I believe there must be many students in No. 4 Middle School who need this set of 'Top Scorer's Handbook.' It doesn't matter if the cooperation agreement doesn't come through. The principal can take this sample set and make copies within the school. We can distribute it to those students who need it. I hope they won't be delayed in their studies due to lack of supplementary materials."

"Ah?" Principal Lu was shocked. "Doesn't this mean you won't make any money?"

Zhou Haoran said nonchalantly, "Making money isn't the most important thing. This is also a summer social practice."

This was originally a very impressive thing.

But the other kids complained a lot.

After leaving the principal's office, Tian Yueran muttered, "Why give it to her? She doesn't support us."

Li Yang also complained: "This Principal Lu is really stingy. I think she didn't plan to buy it from the beginning. She just thought she could make a batch of copies and use them for free."

Wang Wenrui doesn't care about money, so he can understand Zhou Haoran very well. "I think this is a good thing. Besides making money, it also contributes to the moral obligation of promoting education."

"You talk to others about morality, and they talk to you about interests."

Guo Zhiyuan also felt that the loss this time was too great.

It’s such a loss to give copies to others for nothing!
Dongfang Lang said nothing.

Thoughtful.

From the conversations with these friends, he realized a truth.

Those who have no money care particularly about money, and their business is limited to business; those who come from wealthy families like Wang Wenrui and Chen Zixuan can break away from it and pay attention to things other than money.

As expected, everyone has limitations in their own environment.

Zhou Haoran couldn't help but say: "It's hard to make big money just for the sake of making money."

"is it?"

Li Yang, Guo Zhiyuan, Tian Yueran and others found it a little difficult to understand.

"Classmates, wait a minute!"

Just as everyone was going downstairs and leaving, someone suddenly shouted.

Zhou Haoran looked up and saw that it was Principal Lu from before.

Principal Lu's brows were filled with frustration, and he sighed, "1000 copies is too many. Our school doesn't need that many. However, I just spoke with Principal Li of No. 1000 Middle School. Our two schools can cooperate and place an order for copies with you."

"Wow!"

The friends were all excited.
