Yang Rui returned to the room, sat on a chair and recalled his afternoon speech. When he thought that he almost fell and made a fool of himself, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice. Fortunately, he calmed down and did not make any trouble. He took the previous manuscript, revised it and put it in an envelope. He handed it over to Lao Deng below tomorrow morning, and asked him to send it out. Lao Deng has now become his exclusive postman, and all the letters were brought in and out by him. Later, he simply wanted to write out the electronic files of this book. This is just an article. If the foreigners in the concession are not used to looking for trouble with the article, it would be a credential.

Yang Rui found this book on his hard drive - these were all written when he was studying, and read as extracurricular books, but now they have a place to use. This 140,000-word book was omitted by him, which had many things that should not have appeared in this era, and some notes were deleted. With the help of students, the book was written five days later and sent to the Commercial Press and I quickly replied. The manuscript Press readily accepted it. Although the number of words is small, it is only given a thousand yuan plus a sum, the price is very good.

The reason why libraries offer such a price is because the serialization of the speeches of the Soviet newspaper has a great influence. Many people, including modern people, think that the rise of the West is due to its system, culture and even race. Some even think that it was caused by the two industrial revolutions brought by steam engines and internal combustion engines, but it is not the case. What Yang Rui had to do is to expose the skin of foreign civilization in front of the Chinese people who were frightened by strong ships and powerful cannons and admire liberal democracy, so that the Chinese people could see the rise of the West.

In essence, their so-called civilization was established entirely through massacre and plunder. Today, the civilization they show is entirely based on the bones of countless pagans. The sales of the Suzhou Daily has increased rapidly in recent days. Those who have not bought all the newspapers are looking for the rest of the articles. English newspapers and Tianjin newspapers have also reprinted this article titled "Gold and Silver in the Americas and the rise of the Western world". Of course, English newspapers are just a brief summary. Faced with Yang Rui's detailed data, they did not have the courage to come out to confront them.

Yang Rui was stuck in his own circle every day, and he didn't understand that the name of the Pavilion was already famous all over the country. He was still the same as before. In addition to class, he just copied books, and went to Luxing to check out the progress of the project a few days later. Luxing's land deeds had been replaced by Yu Huizu. After all, Yang Rui had no braids and was inconvenient to go to the concession, so he had to wander around the construction site. Cheng Guangshun's uncle's masters were still working very hard. In less than ten days, the factory had a basic prototype and was digging a well for use without planning. Every time he saw that the construction site was becoming more and more like a person, Yang Rui was very happy. He thought that the journey of making money would begin here.

At this time, the freighter for shipping equipment has passed Hong Kong and is expected to arrive in Shanghai next Friday. The patents of Britain, the United States, France and Germany that were applied for earlier have also been taken down, and the patent books have been sent to Shanghai. Yu Zixun from Japan has passed and will arrive in Tokyo at the end of the month. Then he will take a few Japanese recruited locally to Osaka to attend the expo. The publicity plan will be fully launched after the expo is launched. China is still preparing. The heads of Shanghai, Tianjin, Hankou, Guangzhou and several newly recruited factory managers will go to the Instrument Hall for training for three days, and will be on duty in three days. The layout of newspapers in various places has also been negotiated in advance. The newspapers are also doing such a business for the first time. In the past, the newspapers used to be advertised. Now, since some people pay to publish the news, some newspapers said they can be paid for money when they hear it. However, the royalties are not.

It doesn’t matter whether you give it money or not. The key is that everyone knows the name, and they must push it out to have the greatest impact. The press releases of MSG were written by Zhang Taiyan. He was still reluctant to say that his pen would not write such a business article. Yang Rui had no choice but to use cigarettes to increase the price, one by one. When the five pieces were added, his resistance collapsed. So he waved it, and the legend of MSG was written in a wonderful twist, touching tears. He really deserves to be a master.

February 22nd is another Sunday. Yang Rui and a group of students were copying books and proofreading manuscripts in the yard. Mr. Xie from the printing library came. When Mrs. Huang called out and went downstairs to see him, Yang Rui was still surprised because everyone had just contacted the letter before and agreed on the matter. Is there something big about him this time? After the ceremony, Mr. Xie quickly explained his purpose. It turned out that he was entrusted by the Japanese Bookstore Jingangtang to talk to Yang Rui about the copyright purchase of several books.

I heard Mr. Xie say that there were Japanese churches that wanted to buy the copyright of their own books. I felt strange. I wrote a few textbooks. I found them. I found them. Yang Rui was not surprised. I could find them by just finding a publisher. But how could Japan know about Chinese books? Yang Rui didn’t know that the Commercial Press had a cooperative relationship with Japan’s Jingangtang. The two parties would also jointly operate the Commercial Press this year. This Jingangtang is also the main printer of Japanese textbooks. The joint venture with Commercial Press was only driven by interests. The Japanese learned about the commercial textbooks from the Commercial Press, and immediately became interested and asked the Commercial Press to buy copyright. Yang Rui was only willing to sell Chinese paper copyrights at that time, so there was no way, so the Japanese had to entrust the Commercial Press as a representative to negotiate.

Yang Rui has no interest in how to fight with the Japanese in the novel. If he doesn't buy the copyright, then they must be pirated. The piracy in later generations cannot be eradicated, and now, he simply sees how Japan bids, and asks Mr. Xie: "Mr. Xie needs to come here to discuss these small matters. Isn't it better to send someone to pass on a letter? Of course, I have no problem with Japan's copyright purchase, but when I go to business, I just don't know what conditions are offered by Japan?"

Mr. Xie also felt a little anxious, and smiled and said, "Haha, I haven't been to Jingcheng's mansion for more than half a year. I also want to come and see it. As for the copyright matter, Japan is still very anxious. They want to do this set of books as a university textbook when school starts this fall, and they also hope to invite Jingcheng to give lectures in Japan. I wonder what to do."

Yang Rui had a sudden confrontation in his heart, thinking that I, Chinese people, have not taught you, how could I teach you Japanese? Even if I eat porridge every day, I don’t want to go to the ghost place in Japan. Alas, there are few universities in China, and good things come out. There are only one thousand people studying in China, but there are 100,000 people studying in Japan. It’s still a loss if you calculate it. What should I do? It’s not possible to give it. It’s already written. The history of Western philosophy is almost finished. The two books on international trade and finance are not large in number, and they can be completed quickly. The contract has been signed. Alas, I’ve been working hard for a long time and I’ve been cheaper in the end. It’s really... Fortunately, I haven’t written these hard products in marketing, finance, workshop, logistics, and quality. I’d better keep it confidential!

Seeing that Yang Rui was obviously distracted and it was difficult to disturb him, Mr. Xie had to take a sip of tea and wait slowly. After a while, Yang Rui came to his senses and said leisurely: "Mr. Xie, I feel tired now when I only attend four classes a week. I am even more unacceptable to the local environment when I go to Japan. It's better not to go."

Seeing that Yang Rui seemed to have something to worry about, Mr. Xie prepared to make a quick decision and said, "It's true. The Japanese side's conditions are that we hope that the conditions for the second batch of books we talked about with you last time. Do you think this is OK?"

Yang Rui thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Xie, how many universities are there in Japan?"

Mr. Xie didn't understand Yang Rui's meaning of this question, and he was not unaware of the many universities in Japan.

Yang Rui also knew that he didn't know, so he said to himself: "I actually don't know either. According to speculation, the number of students in Japanese universities and business colleges should be dozens of times or even more than that in China. Now, only Nanyang Public School has opened a business class in China. Faced with such a market, I basically didn't bargain with you. However, Japan is different from China, with more business and more schools, so books will naturally be sold better, so the edition fee is also different. Can Mr. Xie tell me what I said and see what the other party will say?"

Mr. Xie also understood what Yang Rui meant. After all, when negotiating with the manuscript, Yang Rui basically did not make any requirements and was easy to talk to. Compared with the situation between China and Japan, it would be a bit of a loss if he transferred it to the Japanese under such conditions. He didn't say much and left now.

After he left, Yang Rui became more and more angry. He worked in vain and made all the Japanese and grandma's. He went to see Cai Yuanpei later and told him that he changed his mind to go to Nanyang Public School to take classes and let the school schedule classes. He could teach as many students as he could.

That night, Cai Yuanpei received a message from Yang Rui and couldn't help but exclaim, "Didn't you go to the last time?" Why have you changed your temper now? He just blushed and refused Zhang Yuanji the day before yesterday, but now he is going to find someone again. But this is a good thing after all, he has a wealth of knowledge in Western learning. If he goes to Nanyang, he is very delicious for the school and students, so he went to Zhang Yuanji's house that night.

On Monday, Yang Rui was training employees at the Instrument Museum. Except for those newly recruited young people who are familiar with the business, everyone else needs to understand the business process, what they want to do, how they do, etc., and they have to be taught in advance. But after all, they are newbies and it is very difficult to teach. The current social division of labor is not detailed, and many ideas are very difficult to explain to them. These guys have been selected. The three accounts are recruited outside, all of which are used inside the factory, and eight overseas.

The representatives were found in the physics and chemistry training institute, or the relatives and friends brought by Yu Huizu and others after the New Year, all of whom were smart and reliable. Yang Rui didn't care about other places. Those sent to Niuzhuang attached great importance to it. The person who went to Niuzhuang was a nephew of Yu Huizu, who was teaching at home in his thirties. However, because the court now advocated new studies and no one would study in the school, there was no job. Yu Huizu knew that he had no teaching anymore, and he needed someone here, so he brought him here.

Yang Rui knew that Japan and Russia would start war in the Northeast next year, and the battle would last for more than a year. Those who went there should be more capable and experienced. This school teacher, Yang Rui, usually saw that he was cautious and subtle, pretending to be a big intellectual, and he couldn't see through it. He wanted to try out what this person looked like. If he could go, it would be best. If he couldn't go, then change his place as soon as possible.

After the training in the morning, Yang Rui talked to the school teacher: "Mr. Yu, if you go to the Northeast, you will be unaccustomed to it." Yang Rui asked lightly.

The school teacher knew Yang Rui's status in the factory and even respected him, and replied: "Master Yang, there is no way to do business around. I heard that it's a little colder there, but I just live in the city, so there is nothing I don't want to get used to."

"Yes, sir, go with the family, hey, I'm worried that the situation is not good." Yang Rui began to test.

"The situation is not good?" The scholastic teacher was not sure.

"Sir, you don't know that the Russians occupied this place and have never been willing to withdraw their troops. And I heard that they are lawless and I am worried that it is not safe for me to go there." Yang Rui continued to increase his investment and wanted to see the courage of this person.

"Ah! There are Russian foreigners. Yes, yes." Maybe he remembered something, and the teacher of the school was startled, "Master Yang, what should I do?"

Seeing that he was so indifferent, Yang Rui sighed in his heart and said, "It's okay. If you have family, it's better to go to Hubei. Where is the Governor Zhang who manages it well? And there is also a concession. If you live in the concession, there will be no danger. You can turn around and talk to Han Zhang." After that, he ignored him and left.

The next day, Mr. Xie asked someone to deliver a letter, saying that he had negotiated with the Japanese side and told Yang Rui what he said that day. The Japanese side also considered that what Yang Rui said was a fact and was willing to increase the edition fee of each book to 5,000 yen. The rest was the same as the original conditions of the press. Yang Rui read the letter but didn't know how to do it. No matter how much he added the money, he still had a question. If it was too outrageous, the other party would definitely pirate the copy. In fact, he was frightened by the scale of piracy in later generations. After thinking about it, he asked the other party to increase the share of the book money from 10% to 20%, and the other conditions remain unchanged. If he agreed, he could sign the contract.
Chapter completed!
