Chapter 078 - Expensive Initial Installation Fee


"And a new book is going to be published?

I was on the phone with your cousin yesterday, and I didn't hear him talk about it. ”Zheng Ziming said that he was very puzzled, and he couldn't figure out what was going on between Jiao Yang and Xiao Bai."

That's right, Manager Zheng.My cousin is busy with his calendar and New Year's painting business at the end of the year, and I will get the new book release myself.This set of books is almost 800,000 words, printed in three volumes, with a first printing of 100,000 copies.Are you interested in the next?

”Xiao Bai didn't want to explain too much, it was just a printing business, it depended on whether Zheng Ziming was willing to take the order.There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and Zheng Ziming said: "Xiao Xiao, it just so happens that your uncle-in-law said that he was going to the provincial capital in the past two days, so why don't I go too."

Specifically, let's talk about it when we meet, okay?

”"Well, take me a telegram before you go, and I'll pick you up when the time comes."

Xiao Bai then hung up the phone, and in an instant, there was one more item in his to-do list: he would have to contact two more printing houses after a while.It's not that he doesn't want to cooperate with Zheng Ziming anymore, the reason and distribution channels are the same, hang himself from a tree, if something happens, won't he be blind on his side?"

Huh?

Is the personal installation phone going to be released?

”In the hall, Xiao Bai suddenly saw a notice: from now on, the application for personal installation of the phone will be accepted, and the material fee and installation fee together are a total of 3,850 yuan.Xiao Bai thinks that this price is really expensive!

This year, it is less than 3,000 yuan to buy a 40-square-meter house in Star City, and it is more expensive to install a fixed telephone than a house.At the end of the 80s, the phone was just beginning to enter the home.At this stage, because the domestic program-controlled switch basically needs to be imported, the price is very expensive, so the initial installation fee of the fixed line has been high.The price of each city is not the same, for example, like the magic capital, at the end of the 80s, the initial installation fee of a telephone is 3000 yuan, while in Chang'an it needs 4500 yuan, and some places even need 5000 yuan, this situation is gradually reversed after the 90s, because with the rise of the two major domestic communication giants ZX and HW, which greatly reduces the purchase price of program-controlled switches, and fixed telephones can enter thousands of households at low prices.Of course, all kinds of thoughts flashed in Xiao Bai's mind, and what he needed to consider now was, should he install a phone?

In fact, it is still necessary to install a telephone.Xiao Bai feels that the most inconvenient thing at the moment is communication, if you want to find someone, you really need to come to the door to find it in person, which is time-consuming and laborious!

Therefore, he turned around and went to the counter again to ask, and the reply was that someone was on duty today to get the number.This number is not a phone number, but a queue number.Fortunately, Xiao Bailing's number was in front, and the staff explained to him that he was in twelfth place."

You have to pay the initial installation fee within three days, and then wait in line for the staff to come to the installation site.It's hard to say at this time, you can ask every so long. ”The money has to be paid at one time, and I don't know when the door-to-door installation will be.Xiao Bai pouted, he knew everything very well, if he didn't find someone, he wouldn't be able to get in the queue for half a year, and he had to think of a way to go back.Today, he just got more than 2,000 yuan in cash, and he still had about 1,000 yuan left in his hand before, adding up to less than 3,500 yuan.So he turned around and went home, and waited until tomorrow to withdraw some money from the bank, and the deadline for payment was three days anyway.After solving the problem of eating outside at noon, Xiao Bai went back to sleep for a while, and heard someone knocking on the door in a daze.He got up and opened the door to take a look, only to see Tian Chunxiu standing at the door with a bag of fruit in his hand."

Oda, are you alone?

Come on in. ”Xiao Bai stretched out his head to take a look in the corridor, but he didn't see a figure, it was estimated that the girl came alone."

Yes, I'm the only one.Why, are you looking forward to someone?

Tell me about it, if it doesn't work, I'll call you now" Tian Chunxiu entered the room, tilting his head to look at Xiao Bai, with a smile on his face."

I just asked casually, are you still energetic?

Stop talking nonsense, sit down and rest, and look at your panting appearance. ”Xiao Baile is happy, I want to dig a pit for my brother, sister, you are still a little tender."

You're smart!

Ah Bai, I was busy some time ago, and I haven't come to see you, don't be angry.I've brought you some fruit, so let's peel an apple for you to eat. ”Tian Chunxiu was immediately happy, she put the bag in her hand on the coffee table, then picked a big red apple from it, and ran to the kitchen happily.Xiao Bai heard her humming quietly in the kitchen, and couldn't help but smile and shake her head: This girl, although she is a little arrogant, is a heartless character.Tian Chunxiu washed the apples, peeled them, and then halved everything, and then took them out and ate them with Xiao Bai and Xiao Bai."

Lingling went to play with me in the morning, I asked her to come with me to see you, she said that she went to help you do the accounts yesterday and saw you, and it happened that she had something to do in the afternoon, so she didn't come.Okay, you're a Bai, you're amazing now, Lingling said that you set up your own studio, specializing in the publication and distribution of books and periodicals, right?

Hey, Lingling has taken an accounting major, she can help you with your accounts, but I can't help at all. ”Tian Chunxiu was babbling while nibbling on apples, sounding like a complaint, but his eyes were full of smiles."

Who says you can't help?

After a while, the studio will publish a new set of books, and then you will need to run the channels manually, and you will help me for a few days after the exam before I go back. ”Xiao Bai's studio is actually equivalent to the role of a publishing house, and he is dealing with booksellers large and small.If you want to establish your own distribution channel, you must run through Huangni Street and its surroundings, which is essentially similar to running sales.Therefore, Xiao Bai's words are really not a joke.When the winter vacation comes, he plans to let Jiang Wei, Yue Tong and the two sisters experience this feeling."

Really?

That's great. ”At this moment, Tian Chunxiu smiled brightly, and she didn't know what was in her heart.In the evening, Xiao Bai invited his sister to have a meal outside.The chef didn't come today, and neither of them wanted to cook it at home, so it was more convenient to go to the restaurant."

Ah Bai, will you send me back?

You've sent Lingling, but you haven't sent me yet. ”After eating and drinking, Tian Chunxiu stuck to Xiao Bai and did not let go.She heard Liu Xiaoling say that the last time this guy rode a bicycle to send people back, so she also wants to be treated equally.Xiao Baixin said: There are really no secrets between girlfriends, and Xiaoling's sister really has nothing to say to Tian Chunxiu.But he doesn't care, the things between other people's girlfriends have nothing to do with him."

Well, okay.But I still have to go back and get something.I can't run back to school at night, I'm sure I'll have to live in a dormitory. ”Xiao Bai doesn't care, where do you live or not?

Just go home and watch it once a week.Riding with Tian Chunxiu, the two of them were quiet all the way.The girl held his waist, her face gently pressed against his back, and waited until she was almost at the school gate before she jumped out of the car."

Ah Bai, you don't have to send it any further, I'll just go in by myself, bye."

Tian Chunxiu jumped away, Xiao Bai leaned on the bicycle and looked at her back, and suddenly felt much more comfortable.The next day, Xiao Bai took the time to go to the bank to withdraw 1,000 yuan, plus the cash on his body, to pay the initial installation fee of 3,850 yuan, and then he still had more than 500 yuan left in his hand.After eating from the cafeteria at noon, he returned to the dormitory, and he received a telegram from Xue Gang, saying that they arrived in Star City at about half past seven in the evening by shuttle.Xiao Bai doesn't have to think about it to know that Zheng Ziming must have come together.
