return

This was from yesterday's Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter. Reported by the Phoenix Finance news, someone said: his mom subscribed to two newspaper at the beginning of 2011. She spent 180RMB. At the end of the year, she took the old newspaper to recycling and collected 206RMB. That was a gain of 14.4%. This return was better than term deposit at any bank. It beat the CPI by a lot. And this return also had better result than invested in the stock market!!! The original post author commented to people to invest in recycling old newspaper.

My question, what was the cost of shipping those old newspapers?
