After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 165 Teacher Zhou is so considerate

In the morning, adjust the office.

In the afternoon, Zhou Haoran set off with his apprentice Qiao Nuo.

Qiao Nuo looked a little excited.

I thought he was going to visit a client.

It’s the first time in my life, and I’m both excited and nervous.

Just called a taxi.

Very generous!

Qiao Nuo's family doesn't seem to be poor, at least he is used to taking a taxi when going out.

If it were someone else, they would definitely feel the pain for a while.

Seeing her clenching her fists and feeling a little uneasy, Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Don't worry, be my apprentice and no one can bully you!"

"Yeah." Qiao Nuo nodded slightly and said softly, "Teacher Zhou cares about me a lot. I know that."

"It should."

Zhou Haoran is going to Changxing Publishing House to ask Li Changxing for the book.

Qiao Nuo bit his lip, mustered up his courage, and tentatively said, "Teacher Zhou, can I treat you to a meal? Thank you for taking care of me."

"I'll treat you, what do you want to eat?"

Zhou Haoran was very generous.

Actually, I feel a little unsure.

The girl in front of him is his real senior from Fudan University.

But he tricked him into becoming his apprentice.

It's easy to be exposed if your mental quality is poor.

"No, no, it's my treat. It must be my treat!"

Qiao Nuo waved his hands repeatedly, looking very anxious.

"All right." Zhou Haoran didn't care about these things. He thought of something, "By the way, when we get to the publishing house later, just say you are my secretary."

"Secretary..."

Qiao Nuo's face flushed.

In this day and age, the word "secretary" is not a good word, especially for a female secretary, who is basically equivalent to a mistress. Various media reports are full of content about wealthy men showing off their wealth with their mistresses.

Zhou Haoran reacted, "Then I'll be your assistant."

"Yes, Assistant."

Qiao Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at him quickly.

Get off the bus after half an hour.

Qiao Nuo held his briefcase in his arms and followed him closely.

After a while, I started sweating.

I just feel that Teacher Zhou walks too fast.

Zhou Haoran glanced back at her and said, "Don't wear high heels when you go out on field work in the future."

"Oh."

Qiao Nuo wrinkled his nose. He had just accidentally sprained his ankle and it was very painful.

Zhou Haoran didn't bother to pay attention to her because he had already seen Li Changxing at the door of the publishing house. "Boss Li, why are you out in such hot weather?"

Li Changxing smiled and said, "It's okay, just come out and get some sun."

Zhou Haoran casually pointed at Qiao Nuo and said, "This is my assistant, Xiao Qiao."

"Oh oh." Li Changxing showed an expression that said, "I understand, and everyone understands." "Assistant Xiao Qiao."

Qiao Nuo didn't like his greasy and weird look, but he still bowed slightly, "Hello, Mr. Li."

Zhou Haoran waved his hand, "Let's go inside! The sun is too strong, and I'm sweating after just a few steps."

This is a private publishing house, and the building is very economical in design.

There is no office building.

There is only a large factory building that looks like a football field.

Li Changxing's office is also in the factory. He can supervise the workers' work as soon as he leaves the office.

It was Qiao Nuo's first time entering such a large factory, and she couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" She was also a cultural industry practitioner, having worked as an editor. The smell of paper and ink in the factory was refreshing.

Zhou Haoran warned her, "Don't sniff it randomly, or you'll faint."

"Oh."

Qiao Nuo covered his mouth and nose in panic.

Zhou Haoran was so angry that he laughed. He looked at Li Changxing and asked, "How many copies of the 'Top Scholar's Handbook' have been printed?"

"Over there." Li Changxing pointed in the direction of the warehouse. "15 copies, all printed."

Zhou Haoran nodded, "It will be shipped next week. Is the truck here?"

Li Changxing smiled and said, "I'll arrange it. We have a long-term cooperative fleet. We can just send a small truck and make a few more trips."

"Okay." Zhou Haoran was very satisfied with his arrangement. "By the way, I don't think the cost report you gave me is appropriate, right?"

Li Changxing understood what he meant and said generously, "It won't take much. 12 is enough!"

"And what about the shipping fee?"

Zhou Haoran asked.

Li Changxing didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "A few hundred yuan for shipping will be enough."

Zhou Haoran couldn't be too stingy with him. "Business is business. I'll make the decision on this matter. I'll give you 20 first. If you need to print more in the future, we'll figure it out separately!"

"No, no..." Li Changxing felt very embarrassed. "Mr. Zhou helped me so much, and he even gave me a commission..."

"What's the deal with commissions?" Zhou Haoran waved his hand. "The commission system is a thing of the past. In my opinion, the rules of this teahouse should be changed and the commission system should be completely abandoned."

“Ah? You…you…”

Li Changxing's expression changed slightly.

Zhou Haoran was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Li Changxing lowered his voice and asked quietly, "Mr. Zhou, you are the newest generation of 'Master' of the Red House Teahouse, right?"

"Not me!"

Zhou Haoran laughed.

I once heard Mr. Liu Zhengyue say that those who passed the imperial examination could be called "great masters."

This is modern society, where are there still Jinshi?

Could it be the doctor?
"Mr. Zhou is too low-key." Li Changxing smiled and winked, "But you can't hide it from me. If you are not a big master, you can't change the rules of this teahouse."

Zhou Haoran avoided the question and asked, "I heard you're going to reprint the Children's Encyclopedia?" "No."

Li Changxing firmly denied it.

Zhou Haoran said calmly, "I've already saved you once. Don't fall into the same pit twice."

Li Changxing felt guilty, "I just found some pirated products on the market."

"Then I can only sympathize with those poor pirates." Zhou Haoran had already predicted, "In the next decade or so, the largest audience in the book market will be teenagers and children, especially the children's book market."

Li Changxing said, "Because children's books cannot be pirated."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "No parent would buy pirated books for their children. Older teenagers will also refuse pirated books when it comes to supplementary teaching materials."

Li Changxing suddenly realized something and said, "So the future direction of Zhongbo Bookstore will be to focus on children's books and teaching supplements. By carefully selecting books, we can limit the spread of pirated copies."

"Let's go and see what books you brought back from abroad for me."

Zhou Haoran chatted and laughed with him as he headed towards the office.

Even if the Children's Encyclopedia sells very well, it will not be reprinted.

Whether you make money or not is secondary.

This affects the initiative!

Now, Zhou Haoran relies on intangible assets in the tripartite cooperation Zhongbo Bookstore, which lacks strong guarantees.

"Children's Encyclopedia" was not a project initiated by him, but a project of Jiang Xiong.

Once the book is printed for the second and third time...

Jiang Xiong will definitely feel dizzy.

Once you become arrogant, you will not listen.

Human nature cannot be tested.

Zhou Haoran couldn't give Jiang Xiong this opportunity. He had to strictly limit the reprinting of the Children's Encyclopedia. In the future, he should focus on teaching supplements and children's books. Only then could he take the initiative in the cooperation.

Qiao Nuo felt dizzy.

I still haven't reacted to it. I thought I was really following Teacher Zhou to visit clients.

I went to the office and saw a big black trolley case.

Li Changxing smiled and said, "They're all here. There are 56 books in total. I'm not sure which books you want, and they're divided into several categories. Take your pick, and then I'll contact them and buy them."

Zhou Haoran went over to flip through the book.

They are all published in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

They are all traditional Chinese characters.

At least it looks smoother than English books.

Some are books on business management, some are business tutorials for MBAs, and then there are some inspirational success stories.

Many of them are world-class classic success books, such as "How to Win Friends and Influence People", "Think and Grow Rich", "If You Have the Right Attitude, You Will Get What You Want", "The Great Inspirational Book", etc.

Especially the "Inspirational Classic Library" series, written by American Joseph Newton, is very powerful.

There are more than a dozen books.

"Success on Your Own", "Live Every Day Well", "Principles of Being a Human Being", "The Power of Now", "Success on Your Own", "Mentor of Life", "Principles of Life"...

The most important thing is to look at the cover introduction. This series has more than fifty books, all written by this success guru.

Simply amazing!
This is especially true in Europe and the United States, where this type of success theory is also widely popular. If the book isn't a bestseller, there's no way the author would be motivated to write dozens of books in a row.

Li Changxing asked tentatively, "Mr. Zhou, how is it?"

"Very good!" Zhou Haoran was very satisfied with the books. "These are exactly what I want."

Li Changxing was very happy. "I was worried that there might not be enough books in Hong Kong and Taiwan, so I wanted to ask someone to bring them back from the United States."

"No, that's enough." Zhou Haoran turned around and looked at Qiao Nuo, "Take this box with you, and let's go back."

Li Changxing quickly stepped forward and arranged and packed the books.

Handed it to Jono.

The box of books was very heavy, and Qiao Nuo grabbed the handle and almost pulled her down.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "I won't pay for the book."

"Mr. Zhou is joking."

It was impossible for Li Changxing to ask for money for these books. These dozens of books were only worth more than 4000 Hong Kong dollars, which was not worth mentioning.

Zhou Haoran said goodbye to him with a smile.

This makes things difficult for Qiao Nuo.

She has no strength.

This suitcase of books is too heavy.

Her skinny arms were so frail that she needed to use both hands to hold the handle to barely move the box.

Once you've called a taxi, you'll say there's nothing you can do.

Zhou Haoran got into the car directly.

Qiao Nuo needed to put the trolley case into the trunk, how could she carry it?
I could only run over with a wrinkled face and said bitterly: "Teacher Zhou, the box is too heavy, I can't lift it."

Zhou Haoran then got out of the car and said with a smile, "Isn't the work difficult?"

Qiao Nuo made a bitter face and said, "My arms are sore."

"That's what it's like to be out in the field. A pretty girl like you would be better off sitting in an office. Enjoying the air conditioning and drinking coffee, wouldn't that be nice?"

Zhou Haoran picked up the suitcase and put it in the trunk.

Qiao Nuo said sadly, "So sales is so hard."

"It's okay. I'll assign you some work that you're good at."

Zhou Haoran finally had a reason to convince her.

The girl is young and beautiful.

Really not suitable for sales.

It would be more suitable for me to sit in the office, check information, write documents, and do some secretarial work.

She must be made to give up.

Qiao Nuo thought Teacher Zhou was concerned about him, so he was very touched. "Teacher Zhou, thank you. I am not afraid of hardship."

"You are my apprentice, how can I let you suffer?"

Zhou Haoran looked serious.

"Ah."
