Parental Love: Jiang Weimin's Life of Lying Down

Jiang Weimin and his family are having dinner

The phone rang and Jiang Weimin answered it.

The call was from Song Wenqing.

Song Wenqing called to say that Shan Tianfang's comic book storytelling adaptation had been completed and that he planned to record it in two days.

The Canton Fair is about to begin, so let Jiang Weimin come to Qingdao Publishing House to discuss it.

Seeing Jiang Weimin hang up the phone, An Jie asked in confusion, "Who called?"

"Mom, it's Uncle Song calling."

"Jiang Weimin, are you going to Qingdao again?" Jiang Yafei asked excitedly.

"Yes, we'll leave in two days." Jiang Weimin nodded.

"Really? Third brother, can you take us with you this time?" Jiang Yaning looked at Jiang Weimin expectantly.

Jiang Yafei also looked at Jiang Weimin with anticipation.

Jiang Weimin could only shake his head helplessly: "I'm going to work this time, so I can't take you with me. Besides, I'm going to Guangzhou to attend the Canton Fair with Qingdao Publishing House in a few days."

"Jiang Weimin, you are going to Guangzhou too. What are you going to do in Guangzhou?" Jiang Yafei asked curiously.

"The publishing house reprinted two editions of my comic book, a traditional Chinese version and an English version. I went to Guangzhou to see if there were any foreigners or Hong Kong businessmen who wanted to purchase it and earn foreign exchange."

"Wei Min, I'm on more business trips than your dad now! I go to Qingdao whenever I have something to do."

"Mom, I'm an editor at Qingdao Publishing House now. As the saying goes, you eat the emperor's food and you have to worry about the emperor." Wei Min explained with a smile.

"I had forgotten that Weimin already had a job and went to school normally every day. I thought you were still a student now."

"Third brother, can you see cousin An Nuo now?"

“You should be able to see it.”

At this time, An Jie said, "Wei Min, before you go to Guangzhou, go to your uncle's house and see if your uncle has anything to take away."

"Okay, Mom!" Wei Min nodded in agreement.

The next day, Jiang Weimin boarded a ship leaving Songshan Island, and after many twists and turns, he finally returned to Qingdao.

He first came to Qingdao Publishing House to greet Liu Shuo. Unexpectedly, he got the latest news here.

"Xiao Jiang, let me tell you something. Our publishing house has a new vice president recently."

Jiang Weimin asked curiously, "Why did a vice president suddenly come? Wasn't there only President Song before?"

“In fact, it’s not just President Song, there’s also a former vice president, but he basically doesn’t care about anything.

A few days ago, the old vice president officially retired.

Now our publishing house is getting bigger and bigger, with more and more staff, and the benefits are very good. It is no longer as difficult to maintain as in the past. "

Jiang Weimin nodded with sudden realization, expressing his understanding.

Indeed, as Qingdao Publishing House's business continues to expand, it is natural to need a capable vice president to assist in management.

Jiang Weimin then came to Song Wenqing's office. At this moment, besides Song Wenqing, there was another person sitting in the office.

This person looks a little older, but he exudes an air of stability and confidence.

When Song Wenqing saw Jiang Weimin come in, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Xiao Jiang, come and sit down. Let me introduce you. This is Feng Nan, the new vice president of our publishing house.

This time he will lead the team to Guangzhou and go with you!"

Jiang Weimin walked up to Feng Nan with a smile, stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, and said politely: "Hello, President Feng, nice to meet you."

Feng Nan also responded with a smile: "Hello, Comrade Xiao Jiang. I have heard of your name. You are a great contributor to our publishing house!

And I heard from President Song that you have a lot of ideas, so you must do your best when you go to Guangzhou this time."

Jiang Weimin nodded his head in agreement: "Don't worry, President Feng, I will do my best to do my job well."

Seeing that the two had officially met, Song Wenqing immediately said, "By the way, Xiao Jiang, comic strips are called cartoons abroad.

I asked someone to do some research, and found out that prices vary from country to country, and some special editions of comics may sell for dozens of dollars.

But for a less famous company like us, the price is only about 5 times higher than ours.”

Jiang Weimin was very surprised after hearing this. He originally thought that the price of comics might be higher due to the developed economies in foreign countries.

But he didn't expect that it was only about five times higher than that in China, which was a huge gap from the more than ten times he had imagined.

He had originally expected to have a great price advantage, but now it seems that he still needs to improve the quality of the content.

"President, the price cannot be set too high. After all, there are cultural differences, and we must ensure that foreign investors can make money."

"Yes! So I plan to set the price of both sets of books at 0.5 US dollars, which is equivalent to 0.9 yuan in RMB, which is about twice as high as the domestic price.

At present, the exchange rate of US dollar to RMB is 1 US dollar to 1.8 RMB. This not only guarantees our profits, but also gives foreign investors a certain profit margin.”

Jiang Weimin lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "President, the price you set is quite reasonable.

I used to think that things imported from abroad would be very expensive, but now I know that not all things are that expensive! ”

Jiang Weimin couldn't help but sigh: "It is true that practice makes perfect. If you don't understand it yourself, you have no right to speak."

The president smiled and said, “Yes, the price this time is actually quite low, but it is also based on everyone’s ability to accept it.

However, the quality is not ambiguous at all. I have asked Zhao Jian to arrange for 2000 sets of each set to be printed, and Yunzhou has sent them all to Guangzhou."

Hearing this, Jiang Weimin immediately said: "Okay, President, I will try to earn more foreign exchange for our publishing house!"

The president nodded, then reminded him as if remembering something: "Oh, Xiao Jiang, you may have to work hard at that time.

I can only buy you a hard sleeper train ticket, as there are so many people going to Guangzhou."

Jiang Weimin asked doubtfully, "President, if that's the case, can we leave a few days earlier? Then maybe we can buy a soft sleeper, right?"

The president shook his head helplessly: "Xiao Jiang, we are going with the Third Printing and Dyeing Factory this time, and we must obey the organization's arrangements.

And before you leave for Guangzhou, you will also need to attend relevant training courses."

Jiang Weimin thought so too. If everyone didn't go together and make arrangements together, things might get chaotic when they got to Guangzhou. So he responded, "I understand, President."

Then, Song Wenqing said to Jiang Weimin, "When we get to Guangzhou, I'll have to trouble you and Yunzhou. You two will be needed to carry out the book transportation work."

Jiang Weimin answered confidently: "No problem, I am now strong and healthy, I have plenty of strength!"

Song Wenqing on the side also patted Jiang Weimin on the shoulder to express his agreement.

Then, Jiang Weimin looked at President Feng again and asked cautiously, "President, how many of the 4,000 sets of books can we give away for free this time?"

Giving some away for free will definitely increase the popularity of the comic strip, but if we don't communicate clearly with President Feng in advance, we may not be able to achieve our goal because of the high-ranking official's power.

Song Wenqing thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I can give you 500 sets for free.

But this is just the beginning. If you can successfully attract 1 orders, we will provide an additional 500 sets of free gifts as a reward. How about it? "

After hearing this, Jiang Weimin thought to himself that although 500 sets were not too many, they were not too few either.

Thinking of this, Jiang Weimin replied without hesitation: "Thank you, President! I will definitely work hard to get more orders."

Song Wenqing nodded with satisfaction and encouraged: "Good, morale is high! I look forward to your performance and hope to hear more good news about you then."
