The more than 100 square meters of storefront needed by Jiangcheng Taobao Electrical Appliance Company to operate Chang H color TVs is difficult to find in the downtown area of Jiangcheng, but Boss Sun believes that the approximately 50 square meters of storefront needed by Qiming Bookstore can still be found, and information advertisements for purchase are available. The sign has been posted in the Zhoujiacun and Hangzhan Road areas. Maybe one day it will be seen by the owner who is selling the shop?
As long as the price is not outrageous, Boss Sun will buy it.
The third Qiming Bookstore was prepared for Teacher Zhang. When teachers and students meet, he will give Teacher Zhang a stage to display his ambitions.
Under the leadership of Chen Xuemei, Zhang Dalin and Ye Mao, Qiming Bookstore will develop faster.
"Okay, Boss Sun!"
Sun Jian looked at the upstairs, downstairs, kitchen, toilet and back yard again.
"Deputy Director Wan, please work harder during this time. Find workers to clear the vegetable garden in the yard, lay it with cement, build an awning, repaint the iron gate on the courtyard wall, and add a security door to the back door to prevent thieves from climbing over. For the courtyard wall, enter through the back door, and prepare two cans of fire extinguishers upstairs and downstairs.”
Growing vegetables breeds mosquitoes and is very likely to hide snakes and rats. An extra yard with a cement floor can store tricycles and bicycles, and everyone can have a place to eat and rest.
Boss Sun does not plan to hire security guards for Qiming Bookstore’s Changmen store, and ordinary thieves will not steal books. Cost is one aspect, and accommodation is also an issue. In winter, it is possible to burn a stove and set a room full of books on fire. Besides, Jiangchang Taobao Electric Appliances The store is less than 500 meters away from here. Zhang Hongtao will be asked to send someone to take care of it at night.
"Okay, Boss Sun!"
"Manager Chen, the store will buy a tricycle and put it in the yard. It will be convenient for employees to deliver goods!"
"Okay, Boss Sun!"
"Boss Sun, the Gangcheng store should also buy one!"
"As long as it is a small thing that is beneficial to the bookstore's operation, Manager Chen will make the decision himself! When the company grows bigger in the future, we will also buy a small truck!"
hey-hey……
Chen Xuemei and Wan Fuquan both laughed. Neither of them thought Boss Sun was joking. How long had it been? The second chain store is about to open, and the third one will not be too far away. It is only a matter of time before Qiming Culture Co., Ltd. is established.

"Uncle Zhou, weigh three larger roasted sweet potatoes for us. Stop looking for them."
Boss Sun and his party turned off the lights, closed the doors and windows, locked the security door, took off the rolling shutter door and locked it, and took the No. 16 bus back to Steel City. It was almost five o'clock now, and the two of them were probably hungry. He would eat in the afternoon. I bought a big sweet potato, took out one yuan and put it in Uncle Zhou's hand.
"Thank you, Sun Jian!"
"Thank you very much!"
"Thank you very much!"
Chen Xuemei and Wan Fuquan took the roasted sweet potatoes and felt hungry. They tore open the skin and started eating.
"Uncle Zhou, it's getting late, you should go home early for dinner!"
"Sun Jian, there are seven sweet potatoes left in this batch. I'll go back when I'm done selling them!"
"Forget it, you sell it to me for two yuan, and I'll take it back to my family to try!"
Sun Jian took out two yuan and stuffed it into Uncle Zhou's hand without any explanation. He took out a plastic bag from his backpack and asked Uncle Zhou to put seven sweet potatoes of different sizes into the bag with tongs. into the backpack.
"Sun Jian, thank you!"
"Uncle Zhou, don't pretend to be poor in front of me. There are college students in your family. What is the name of your youngest son who has gone to college?"
Sun Jian asked inadvertently, seeming to tell Chen Xuemei and Wan Fuquan not to underestimate Uncle Zhou, as his youngest son had gone to college.
"Zhou Zhiping!"
Uncle Zhou didn't think about it and blurted out, with pride in his words.

"Jianjian, are you tired of going to college and being a self-employed business owner?"
When Sun Jian walked into the tenth neighborhood, it was already six o'clock. It gets dark early in winter. Shunshun and Ganggang had not yet gone to study at night. Sun's father, mother, father, mother Liu, and Uncle Li were still sitting in the lee of the house.
"Uncle Li, I have left the daily operations of Qiming Bookstore to Manager Chen. On weekends and Sundays, I went to the store to have a look. It was protected from the wind and rain. It was much easier than setting up a street stall! In this bag The roasted sweet potatoes were bought on the road and were still warm. Each of us tasted one, and I ate one on the road. It was sweet, glutinous and delicious!"
Sun Jian each sent one.
"Thank you Jianjian!"
…
"Brother!"
"Yuanyuan will try one too, leaving the last one for Shunshun!"
"Okay, big brother!"
Sun Yuan helped carry the backpack up, and the eldest brother waited for the younger brother to come back and have dinner together.
"Jianjian, how are the sales of the fountain pen copybooks you compiled?"
"Mom, the store sold wholesale and retail sales of nearly 20,000 copies in one and a half months. The store made a gross profit of more than 3,000 yuan, after deducting the wages, benefits, rent, taxes, water and electricity expenses for me and eight employees, it took a lot of hard work , I only made more than 1,600 yuan in one and a half months!"
Sun Jian knew that his parents were worried about the business of Qiming Bookstore, so he reported less to avoid scaring them.
"Jianjian, you have made more than 1,600 yuan in one and a half months. Isn't it too little?"
Uncle Li, Sun's father and mother, and Liu's mother were dumbfounded when they heard Sun Jian's casual and dissatisfied tone. One and a half months, one and a half thousand yuan, and in less than ten months, Sun Jian will become a household with ten thousand yuan and ten neighborhoods. The first ten-thousand-yuan household can become a ten-thousand-yuan household by selling a pen copybook for 65 cents?
Grandmother and grandfather's eyes shone brightly. Will his eldest son earn a household income of ten thousand yuan? Isn't this a dream? Liu's mother and Liu's father were filled with envy. If Jianjian became their son-in-law, Yueyue would be blessed.
"Uncle Li, it's not that Jianjian is too little! The current market for copybooks is pretty good. If you can't make money, when the market goes bad in the future, you'll end up with unsold copybooks! I'll give you a call. For example, it’s like a self-employed person selling vegetables in the vegetable market. You must make more money by selling fresh vegetables in the morning, otherwise you will have to lose money by the evening!”
"Jianjian, what if we can't sell it by then?"
Everyone felt better when they heard that Sun Jian would lose money in the future. The five of them were all old workers of Jianggang. Jianggang was the largest state-owned enterprise in Hubei Province and was famous for its profitability. Except for Li Bo who had more than 160 yuan, In addition to the salary, the other four people have about 90 yuan, which is a high salary among workers, but compared with Jianjian, a self-employed person who is still in college, it feels unfair.
"Don't worry, Mom. We can make more profits now, and then we can reduce the price to maintain capital!"
"Mom, can I buy a rice cooker and bring it back tomorrow?"
After Shunshun came back, Sun Jian and his mother went upstairs together. Sun mother added some boiling water to the drum, put it on the gas stove to heat, and poured the vegetables back into the pot to heat. Sun mother was used to it, but as a second-generation person, In Sun Jian's eyes, his mother was troubled again.
"Jianjian, buying a rice cooker is a waste of money and electricity. If our family buys it, your Aunt Wang will buy it too."
