After the group arrived in the capital, Mo Ziwan still remembered what Xie Wenhua told her on the fifth day of the lunar month, "Godfather, I want to go to Uncle Xie's bookstore first."
Han Shuxian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Isn't it also your bookstore?"
Mo Ziwan was a little embarrassed, "My godfather is laughing at me!"
Yu Silian hugged Han Qiulu and teased her, "Your godfather is telling the truth. Our Wan Wan not only has a workshop, but also a bookstore."
Mo Tingyu and Song Nanzhi also smiled.
Mo Ziwan no longer felt awkward, she suppressed her smile, and first said to Yu Silian, "What my godmother said makes sense." Then she bowed to Han Shuxian and said, "I have to thank my godfather for taking me to my bookstore for inspection."
She pretended to be weird and bowed, and several people around her laughed out loud. Yu Silian laughed and said, "Our family Wan Wan is really a treasure. She can speak and write well, and she can also pretend to be weird!"
Mo Ziyuan felt that there was a crow above her head, flapping its jet-black wings and flying by with "quack" and "quack" calls.
Anyway, I've already pretended, so I don't care about pretending one more time. "Thank you godmother for the compliment." Mo Ziwan kept talking nonsense with a serious face. Not only did she say it, she bowed again, which made everyone laugh.
"Ouch! I can't do it anymore, Lulu, go find your dad. Mom is laughing so hard that she can't even hold you." Yu Silian laughed so much that her stomach hurt.
Mo Ziwan shook her head, her smile was too low!
While Mo Ziwan was pretending to be strange, the group was immediately divided into two groups. After agreeing to meet at Murong Tingxu's restaurant at noon, Han Shuxian took Mo Ziwan to the bookstore.
As soon as Han Shuxian and Mo Ziyuan left, Yu Silian took the two elders of the Mo family, Murong Qingyuan, and Han Chunlin to the other side and started playing in the capital.
Xie Wenhua has been waiting at the bookstore for a long time. The bookstore he is currently in is not the yard he wants to buy.
This is a not too small shop he owned in Beijing. Now he has transformed it into a bookstore, which is equivalent to a branch in Beijing.
Although the branch in Beijing is much larger than the bookstore in Cangxi County, it pales in comparison with Zongheng Bookstore. However, Xie Wenhua does not expect to be able to compare with Zongheng Bookstore now. His plan is to gradually , just like now, he opens a bookstore first, and after this bookstore is on the road, he will open bookstores in other states and counties.
Shipping books is much more convenient than delivering food. There is no need to worry about delays and spoilage. I am confident that I can open branches all over Dafengchao.
Not only do we want to open bookstores all over Dafeng Dynasty, but we also wanted to build the largest bookstore in Dafeng Dynasty from the beginning, so we cannot fall behind. After bookstores are opened in surrounding states and counties, the courtyard bought in Jingli will be almost rebuilt. In this way, are you afraid that your own bookstore will not become the best in the world?
Xie Wenhua is very confident, and so is Mo Ziyuan.
After receiving the report from the waiter, Xie Wenhua immediately got up and went down from the office room upstairs to the bookstore hall on the first floor.
When she got down to the first floor, Mo Ziwan was looking at the layout of the bookstore. When she saw Xie Wenhua coming, she immediately raised her smile and shouted, "Uncle Xie."
"Brother Han, Wan Wan, let's go upstairs and have a rest." Xie Wenhua said first after approaching the two of them.
Mo Ziyuan shook her head. She must take a break, but not now. After sitting down in the carriage all the way, it would be a good time to walk around and stretch her body. "I want to visit the bookstore first."
But then he glanced at Han Shuxian again, "Uncle, take *** dad to rest for a while. I'll walk around by myself and come back to you later."
"You go and see yours, I'll read here for a while." Han Shuxian said, he was worried that she wasn't under his nose.
Seeing this, Xie Wenhua said, "I will accompany you too. If you have any ideas, just tell me directly."
This was very good, and Mo Ziyuan did not refuse, "Okay."
When Xie Wenhua said this, he didn't actually think that she could really give him advice. It was just a polite word. But now that he saw her answer seriously, he also knew that she was very concerned about the bookstore and knew that she was smart. I also changed my mind. If she really has any suggestions, I'll do what she says if it's appropriate.
Mo Ziyuan's opinion came quickly, looking at
Her godfather stood in front of the bookshelf, holding a book and flipping through it, "Uncle, I think we should set up a reading area to make it easier for people who come to the bookstore to read."
After Mo Ziwan finished speaking, Xie Wenhua laughed unconsciously. This child really didn't want to see her godfather suffer a little, and said: "Yuan Wan, we are selling books. If they come, they won't even buy them. How can our bookstore do business?"
"Uncle, no." After answering, Mo Ziwan explained: "Our bookstore has a place to rest and read, so more people will come to the bookstore. This is the same as what I said before about queuing at the door to attract curiosity. thing."
"No matter what the reason is, if you come to the bookstore to take a look, our books will have a chance to be sold. Aren't there people on the street specifically asking people to come in and take a look?"
"We don't need to shout, we just allow people who come in to choose slowly without being in a hurry. The bookstore has a reading area. People who want to read or buy books can take the selected books to the reading area, sit down and read slowly. , wait until you feel good about it before buying it.”
Based on his experience of buying books in his previous life, he added: "Of course not all people who read books will buy them, but there are also people who just come to the bookstore to read and pass the time, but if there is something they like, they might buy it. Unlike other things, what you look at is the content. How can you know what the content is like if you don’t read more?”
"Besides, even if you sit in a bookstore and read for a day, you won't read the whole book. The longer you read, the more you like it and the more likely you are to buy it. Moreover, because the book buying experience in our bookstore is good, you will have more books in the future. You may come to our bookstore often."
Not to mention reading for a while in a bookstore, the library in the previous life also provided loan books for citizens to read. As long as you apply for a library card, you can borrow books from the library and read them. Since borrowing is not easy to manage here, don’t Aster did not mention the loan, but only talked about creating a reading area and providing tables and chairs for people to sit and read.
Xie Wenhua was obviously moved. He raised his eyes and looked inside the bookstore to see which place was best for reading. "Then put some tables and chairs in the middle. What do you think?"
Mo Ziwan also looked up again. The bookshelves were all against the wall. Although there was a bookshelf in the middle, there was only a flat area where he pointed, and there was naturally a book on it.
But this place is not the best. If you rearrange the middle position and move the bookshelf at the back forward, you can still make room for a few tables and chairs.
After scanning all the locations, he reached out and took Xie Wenhua's hand to the innermost seat by the window. "The reading area needs to be quiet and less affected by people walking around. Sitting here and reading will not affect the flow of people." People’s selection of books does not affect each other, so why not move the bookshelves here to the middle to make room for some tables and chairs."
It's a good idea. Xie Wenhua nodded, "Okay, then let's turn this place into a reading area."
Afraid that the tables and chairs brought in would be flashy, Mo Ziyuan raised her head and looked at Xie Wenhua, "Make two long tables, wide enough for two people to sit facing each other and read, and pair them with benches that are wider to make sitting more comfortable. We can make a few more benches, and place one or two in other suitable places.”
"If you want to be comfortable, it's better to change to a chair." Xie Wenhua said.
"I also need chairs, but I don't need too many, as they will take up space." Mo Ziyuan added after finishing her words, "Put a long table and chairs on this side by the window and on this side of the bookshelf, and put a few more in front of the long table and chairs. Set up a small room with tables and chairs big enough for four people, so that people in the back can easily come out and it won’t be crowded.”
Xie Wenhua wrote it down and said, "I'll figure it out when I get down, and then order the tables and chairs."
Mo Ziyuan nodded, "Uncle, you can ask someone to make another display board. Every time a new book comes out, write it on the display board, or launch a monthly activity with discounts on buying books and announce it on the display board."
By the way, you can also apply for a membership card and set a membership date!
"Uncle, for everyone who comes to our store to buy books, let's apply for an exclusive discount card for them. After applying for this card, they will get a 15% discount when they come to our store to buy books in the future? How about setting a membership day every month. On this day, If the discount is bigger, the discount will be higher.”
Xie Wenhua hesitated again, "Isn't this a voluntary price reduction?"
It's not to blame that he couldn't turn this corner, it was just that her thoughts came out one after another, and he just couldn't keep up!
"Uncle, from now on they will only come to our bookstore to buy books. This discount is still a good deal." Mo Ziwan pointed out the key point.
Xie Wenhua was stunned for a moment and then laughed. He turned to look at Han Shuxian, who was originally going to read a book but had been following behind to listen to their conversation. "I finally understand you!"
Han Shuxianjun's face darkened, "I'm not as stupid as you!"
Mo Ziyuan also immediately defended, "My godfather is the smartest!"
But her maintenance made her feel like she didn't have three hundred taels of silver in this place! Xie Wenhua smiled even more freely, "Yes, your godfather is the smartest."
Mo Ziwan looked at the two people's faces with different expressions, and it seemed that it was better not to say what she said! He immediately dropped Xie Wenhua's hand, took Han Shuxian's hand instead, and pretended again, "Uncle is laughing at me, uncle is bad!"
Xie Wenhua immediately suppressed his laughter, "Uncle didn't laugh at you. Uncle just thought that with your idea, our bookstore's business will be much better. This is a happy smile."
Mo Ziyuan pursed her lips, looking unbelieving.
"Okay, Wanwan, let's go check out other places and see if there's anything that needs improvement."
Originally she was just pretending to be childish, but when she saw Xie Wenhua talking about serious matters, Mo Ziyuan stopped pretending and nodded and said, "Okay!"
After walking down the two floors, Mo Ziwan only provided tables and chairs for people to sit and read, membership cards and membership days, and a cabinet at the entrance to put some things that are not suitable for bringing into the bookstore. Opinion, the last point is mainly to eat food and water.
There is one last question.
It was just this last issue that made it difficult for both Xie Wenhua and Han Shuxian. The problem of going to the toilet was not easy to solve!
"Wanwan, if people are allowed to use the toilet inside, once the smell spreads, even if we allow people to read books for free, I'm afraid no one will come to see them. Besides, if we add a toilet in the bookstore, we can put the books and this filthy Putting things together is also an insult to books."
Mo Ziwan muttered silently in her heart, why is it so humiliating? Who doesn't have a full belly...
It can be carried in the stomach, why can’t it be carried in the bookstore?
Of course, Mo Ziwan couldn't say this! After thinking about it, I changed my words and said, "If we can make the toilets unique, it will definitely make people who come to the bookstore like our bookstore more. People have three urgent needs, and who doesn't want to be more convenient?"
"Is it so difficult for people to like our toilet? How to build it?" Xie Wenhua felt that his own was completely unable to keep up with Xiao Nizi's ideas.
Come on, I don’t think about it anymore, just let her say whatever she wants!
