After getting three hundred taels of silver from Miss Qin, Jiang Han finally had the funds to run a bookstore. He immediately asked Butler Qin to help him find a store.
Butler Qin was stunned and said: "My aunt wants to open a bookstore? This is not difficult. Our Qin Mansion has a house in the west of the city, but the store is not big. I will see if it can be used."
Jiang Han didn't expect such a gain. Now he didn't even have to pay for renting a bookstore. He immediately said: "It doesn't matter that the bookstore is not big. Can Uncle Qin take me to have a look at the store?"
He knew that Qin Fen was ostensibly the steward of the Qin Mansion, but was actually Qin Zhong's younger brother. Qin Fen was managing most of the affairs of the Qin Mansion.
"Uncle, wait a minute, I'll go get the key." Qin Fen didn't have the contempt and contempt for his uncle that rich families would treat their son-in-law. Instead, he was quite polite.
Jiang Han followed Qin Fen out and soon saw the house in the west of the city. It was a second-entry house facing the river. It faced north and south, and faced the main street just one street away. It was a quiet place amidst the bustle. .
After entering the house, Jiang Han discovered that he had a big misunderstanding about the small store that Butler Qin said!
The first entrance to this house alone is one hundred square meters, and the second entrance is even more spacious.
It's just that no one has been living in the house for too long, the cobwebs are covered in dust, and the walls are mottled and peeling off, so they need to be renovated.
Jiang Han looked at the house and thought about how to make improvements.
First of all, since it is going to be converted into a bookstore, the two doors need to be replaced, and a cashier's desk is added in front of the door. The furniture inside is no longer used, and most of the furniture is severely infested with insects, so all the furniture must be thrown away. Replace it with a bookshelf.
Since you want to open a bookstore, it must be decorated in a high-end and grand style.
It's a pity that there is no glass in this world.
Oh, there is colored glaze, but that thing is very expensive.
Qin Fen said: "Uncle, do you think this house is okay?"
"Yes, of course." Jiang Han nodded with satisfaction. This house is even better than the place where he lived before, and it is more than enough to decorate it as a bookstore.
"Uncle Qin, could you please help me find a group of people to repair this bookstore." Jiang Han thought for a while and said.
Qin Fen was also very fast. He found people near noon and began to decorate the house according to Jiang Han's ideas.
Jiang Han was not idle during this period, and went to the east of the city to customize fifteen mahogany bookshelves.
While Jiang Han was busy, the girl holding the sword was also looking at him in confusion.
This man actually wants to open a bookstore?
This does not mean that it is not good to open a bookstore. Some sons-in-law of big families also run their own businesses, and bookstores are also a good choice.
Can even a scholar know how to run a business?
Moreover, there are many bookstores in Yunmeng nowadays. Yuting Bookstore also has a branch in Yunmeng, which basically accounts for more than 90% of the business in Yunmeng City.
He wants to open a bookstore, doesn’t he want to make a huge loss?
Si Jian was not very optimistic about Jiang Han, thinking that although he had some talent, his business acumen was almost idiotic!
If you want to do business, even if you open a food shop or a restaurant, it will be easier to do than a bookstore!
At the same time, in Ning Guo Mansion, Ning Guo Gong also knew what his prospective son-in-law was going to do, and he was suddenly surprised and amused.
What is surprising is that this son-in-law actually wanted to open a bookstore and got three hundred taels of silver from Qin Muqing. I don't know what method he used.
The funny thing is that although this son-in-law is very talented, like most scholars, he takes things for granted!
When I saw that other people's bookstores were doing well, I wanted to open another one.
But they don’t know the difficulties of running a business!
How many bookstores are there in the entire Yunmeng City? Hundreds of them!
However, only a few companies can make money.
But think about it, since he wants to drive, let him drive!
Even if they lose, Ningguo Mansion will not lose anything.
After thinking about it, Qin Zhong said: "Whatever my uncle wants to do, just cooperate with him! Well... if he wants people to be bookstore employees, you can pick a few and send them to his bookstore."
Qin Fen responded: "Yes!"
Yin family.
At this moment, Yin Tingli, one of the four great talents in Yunmeng, also received the news brought back by his subordinates.
After hearing the news, Yin Dinli looked puzzled.
This Jiang Han's life experience is really innocent!
In the past, he was indeed a poor scholar who failed to succeed many times and was the object of ridicule by his neighbors.
However, just such a person used a poem to please the great Confucian Zhongli!
And even he felt inferior to that poem.
"Did this person hide his clumsiness before? But why did he hide his clumsiness?"
Yin Tingli was puzzled. From the information he got, this person was completely different from before!
But since this person is willing to enter the Zanning Palace, it means that this person loves glory and wealth!
"If I can bribe this person, maybe he can be my secret agent in Ningguo Mansion!" Yin Tingli's eyes flickered, and his thoughts fluctuated in his heart.
Yin Tingli's uncle was an official in Kyoto, and Yin Tingli's cousin was also the prince's attendant, so his support was naturally from the prince's side.
Although the Ningguo Mansion was far away from the court, Qin Zhong's brother Chengguo Duke Qin Zhen was a big boss in the military.
But Qin Zhen supported the current fourth prince.
With the support of Duke Cheng, the fourth prince also had the capital to compete with the prince in the court.
The biggest headache for His Highness the Crown Prince today is Duke Cheng Qin Zhen.
But Qin Zhen's work was flawless and flawless, so it was too difficult to find a handle on him.
However, Duke Ning Guo was different.
If we can pull down Ning Guogong, and then attack Cheng Guogong, and eliminate such a powerful enemy for His Royal Highness, then the Yin family will be reused from now on.
And Jiang Han might be able to be a chess piece inserted into Ning Guo Mansion!
After Yin Tingli thought about it, he immediately wanted to bribe Jiang Han and said, "Go and help me make an appointment with Jiang Han!"
…
Jiang Han naturally didn't know that he had been noticed by many people. After he customized the bookshelf and paid the deposit, he thought of one more thing.
If you want to sell books, you naturally can't just rely on writing by yourself. If you rely on yourself, you may end up with nothing.
In the early stage, you can introduce some popular books to serve as a facade.
Later, you can find some unsuccessful scholars to write books based on your own ideas.
For example, "The Legend of White Snake" or "The Legend of Jigong", etc., he had only watched it on TV in his previous life, and only remembered the brief plot. If he wrote it by himself, he would not have so much time, and secondly, he might not be able to write it well.
But after telling the general plot, those talented people can naturally add details and create it. It is also a good book.
Thinking of this, Jiang Han went to various major bookstores again and spent fifty taels to order some popular books to temporarily serve as a storefront.
Running around, it was already evening, and the three hundred taels of silver that Miss Qin invested in had also been spent on eighty taels.
This made Jiang Han lament that spending money was like running water. If it weren't for Ningguo Mansion, he would have had a headache for money for a long time.
"Although I firmly believe that "The Legend of Wu Song" will be a big seller, the smell of wine is also afraid of the deep alley... There are so many bookstores in Yunmeng City, which may not attract the attention of scholars..."
Jiang Han thought of someone and suddenly smiled.
It would be different if the world-famous Confucian Zhongli was willing to write a preface to his "Biography of Wu Song" and advertise his bookstore!
