Chapter 497: Big business
Chapter 497 Big Business
When he arrived at the big bookstore, Jiang Liu found that the scale of the bookstore had expanded again. Although the rent of shops in the South City is 20% to 30% cheaper than that in the East and West cities, the rent for such a large shop is definitely a lot. It seems that this bookstore has made a lot of money. How did he do it?
When the girls from the Jiang family came, the bookstore staff immediately stepped forward to greet them warmly. After a while, Shi Liwen, the owner of the bookstore, also came, enthusiastically and thoughtfully introducing the new books to the three girls. They are all phantom rangers, and there are quite a few exotic travel notes, some of which are extremely funny, and make people laugh and clapp their hands…”
Jiang Liu immediately became interested, took a book recommended by Shi Liwen and read it, and found that it was a popular version of the mythical story written on the basis of the Great Wilderness Sutra in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". She liked it, and so did her father. ,wanted.
When Jiang Muyan went to the nearby bookshelf to select poems, Shi Liwen diligently handed Jiang a few books, "Sixth girl, please take a look, these books are specially reserved by Xiaosheng for the second master, please take the girl back to the house to relieve the second master. ."
The owner of the bookstore picked out and specially recommended these books according to her father's taste. Jiang Liu looked through them, and they were indeed very suitable for father's taste. However, "bringing" them back is not enough. Jiang Liu said solemnly, "Father doesn't let us bring things into the house casually. If Mr. Mr. thinks these books are good, they will sell them to us later."
Shi Liwen immediately said, "It's the girl who thought it through. Later, Xiaosheng will pay for these books together."
"Sir, you have to calculate the price and don't lose money, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Daddy when I go back." Jiang Liu added with a smile.
With such a big bookstore, how could Shi Liwen not understand the meaning of what the sixth girl of the Jiang family said? He quickly smiled, "Don't worry, girl, Xiaosheng will definitely figure it out, and he will never make a loss-making business."
"That's good." Jiang Liu asked curiously again, "Sir, this business is getting better and better, is it the only one in Nanshi?"
Shi Liwen said modestly, "Thanks to the care of the second master and classmates, the business of the shop is still going on, but I dare not compare it with the girl's Xuexia evening and Qiuben herbal medicine shop. The girl has a good eye and knows the pearls, and the managers are all first-class. Yes, one of the shopkeepers who opened a shop in Nanshi counts as one, and there is no one who doesn't raise their thumbs when they mention the girl."
What Shi Liwen said is not a lie, a little girl of eight or nine years old can manage five or six shops, and she manages it in an orderly manner. Anyone who says it has to be convinced.
Nanshi also has the semicolon of Xuexiawan. Qiuben herbal medicine shop is also in Nanshi, and the business of the two shops is really good. Uncle Qiu, the "manager" she chose, was of course first-rate. Jiang Liu smiled happily, but said modestly, "My father helped me choose the manager. I don't have the ability."
Shi Liwen took advantage of Miss Jiang Liu's happiness and whispered, "Xiaosheng has something to do, and I want to discuss it with Miss Liu."
Jiang Liu knew at a glance that he wanted to do business with him, and replied cautiously, "Sir, come and listen."
There is a difference between men and women, Shi Liwen did not ask Jiang to stay in the private room, and whispered directly beside the bookshelf, "Xiaosheng learned that Wansui gave the second master Li Shaojian's thousand-character text from the previous dynasty. Li Shaojian's Xiaozhuan is famous all over the world. Although there are several copy editions for sale, there are obvious differences in the style of writing between the editions. Therefore, everyone has been arguing and disagreeing. If you want the original copy to be clear, you must ask Li Shaojian's handwriting to see it. What does the girl mean?"
Just a glimpse? Jiang Liu said with a smile, "I have to go back and ask my father for instructions before I can answer Mr.
"The girl is willing to help Xiaosheng with a few words, Xiaosheng is already grateful." Shi Liwen saluted, and then whispered, "If... the second master is willing to be gracious and allow Xiaosheng to broadcast the world according to the book stereotypes, the world's scholars will appreciate the kindness of the Holy One, two The name of the master will also appear in the preface of the thousand-character script, and it will be passed down through the ages. If the second master has this intention, the rest can be discussed..."
A businessman is a businessman. Take the original Li Yangbing engraved template that was given to her father today, fill in her father's name in the preface, and then print the book and sell it all over Kyushu. This is not only a few thousand taels of business. Jiang Liu pretended not to understand what he meant, and said with a naive little face, "I will tell my father about this, and ask him to decide."
"Thank you girl, thank you girl!" Jiang Liu girl can speak well, Jiang Erye is so transparent, she will definitely not have trouble with Yinzi. The next thing is that the Jiang family plans to take a few percent of the business. With the temperament of Second Master Jiang, it will not exceed 50 percent. If this is the case, he will settle down and settle down in Kang, just around the corner, Shi Liwen smiles from ear to ear.
The three sisters of the Jiang family spent thirty taels of silver to buy more than twenty books. Seeing that it was so cheap, Ya Zheng said, "How can the owner of the bookstore be so generous today?"
Jiang Muyan replied earnestly, "Mr. Shi said that we often take care of his family's business, so this time we only charge the capital. My daughter felt that he was charging less, but he ordered his staff to take out the account books for the purchases and let her read the books one by one. The price of these books is really only 2,900 yuan, and my daughter added 100 yuan to make up three taels."
Yazheng praised, "Yan'er did this very appropriately. Your father is now an official in charge of the square market. We can't take advantage of the store, lest we be taken advantage of."
"My daughter understands." Jiang Muyan sighed, "My daughter didn't expect the bookstore to make so much money. If someone else bought it, they wouldn't be able to buy these books without 12 taels of silver. If that's the case, opening a bookstore would make more money than a rouge shop. ."
Ya Zheng smiled, "Each line of business has its own way, Daguan Bookstore makes money, because Shi Liwen has a good eye for book selection, and he will designate certain kinds of books, ask people to write them, and then engrave them and sell them. Likes and business acumen can make this money.”
Jiang Muyan was taught, "Most scholars pride themselves on being aloof and detached, and they disdain dealing with businessmen. Shi Liwen is very good."
Yazheng was very pleased that the eldest daughter could say such words, she turned to look at the younger daughter and asked, "Why doesn't Liuer speak?"
Jiang Liu raised his head and said very seriously, "My daughter is thinking about a big thing."
"Oh?" Ya Zheng looked at her little daughter with interest.
Jiang Liu sold a lawsuit, "On this matter, we have to wait for Daddy and brother to come back. Let's discuss it together before we know whether it is feasible or not."
Jiang Erye hadn't gone to the office yet, and Yayin, who went to follow Shuxia, came back first and reported to Jiang Liu, "In March of this year, Wang Ke and his wife used most of their savings to import a batch of goods in Kang'an, and the family of three rented a boat to take the goods south. Just after Yingtian Prefecture was robbed by water bandits, Wang Ke was alert and took his wife and daughter off the boat early to save his life. After losing this batch of goods, the Wang family had a hard time, and Wang Ke wanted to give his daughter to a wealthy and powerful businessman. Concubine, in exchange for capital to make a comeback. Shu Xia didn't want to, and ran away from home."
Book Xia Zhiwen and hyphenation. She looks good and has high spirits. She will not be willing to be a concubine. Jiang Liu thought about it and decided to tell her sister about it and let her make up her own mind.
