"Mr. Zhuang Qiang, what do you think is the probability that opening a large bookstore will be profitable?"

Zhuang Qiang was silent for a moment, he had tried to pay attention to his wording, and wanted to get the job first.

Your own ambitions and pursuits can be postponed.

However, it is really hard to say whether the bookstore can be profitable if it is completely opened according to your own ideas.

Zhuang Qiang didn't want to lie, because it was really too difficult to open a bookstore now.

The impact of e-books, the problem of high rents.

Nowadays, there are very few large bookstores, and it is very troublesome for ordinary people to go to the bookstore to read books.

The distance is so far, if it is so troublesome to drive on the road, it is better to open an e-book on the Internet.

Nowadays, people would rather go shopping and eat than go to a bookstore.

And books are too expensive, e-commerce has a huge impact on physical books, e-commerce is not only cheaper than physical stores, but also does activities, buy three books get one free and so on.

Bookstores have long been a sunset industry.

"Mr. Chu, if you want me to say, I think the possibility of opening a bookstore is less than half of the profit. ”

Halfway through, Zhuang Qiang was actually a little weak-hearted.

Chu Huan nodded, five layers of certainty, he felt in his heart that this profit probability seemed to be a little higher, and asked Zhuang Qiang.

"Eh, by the way, is it possible for a newly opened large bookstore to recoup its capital or even make a profit within three months after it opens, starting from renting a house, decorating, and purchasing goods?"

Zhuang Qiang was stunned, thinking that Chu Huan was joking with himself.

"Mr. Chu, when opening a bookstore, remember to be impetuous, this is not a dry restaurant, a swarm of bees will be on fire, the important thing in the early stage is to gather popularity, and if you want to return to your capital or even make a profit within three months, this is basically impossible, to be honest, I am not sure. ”

Chu Huan secretly clenched his fists, and it was done, the general managers under him all thought so, what else did he have to worry about.

Chu Huan's mood suddenly improved a lot, and it seemed that he was looking for the right way.

"Zhuang Qiang, then let me ask you, if you are asked to open a large bookstore, how much money will you have to invest?"

Zhuang Qiang calculated in his heart.

"Mr. Chu, a large bookstore, the area must be at least 1,000 square meters, and the location of the bookstore cannot be bad, according to the daily rent of five yuan per square meter, the rent of a month will be 150,000. ”

Chu Huan frowned.

The heart said that the monthly rent of a thousand square meters of façade is only 150,000, which is too little.

"No, no, we are going to open a large library, and the area must not be small, at least 2,000 square meters. If you can't find such a large flat floor, and the first floor is not wide enough, you can rent two or three floors, and a whole low building can also be considered. ”

Zhuang Qiang was stunned for a moment, feeling that Mr. Chu's speech was faintly strange, and there was a feeling that he hadn't even rented a house.

"Zhuang Qiang, you go on, what are you going to do after renting a house?"

"Mr. Chu, after the rent is settled, it is decoration, the current market price of fine decoration quotation, about 500 yuan per square meter, if it is a scale of 2,000 square meters, to decorate the bookstore, at least one million. ”

Chu Huan took notes, the rent was 300,000 yuan per month, and the decoration was 1 million.

This time, 1.3 million was spent.

Nodding, very good, excellent.

You continue. ”

Zhuang Qiang continued: "Mr. Chu, after the renovation, it is to buy all kinds of bookshelf, tables and chairs and other equipment, and large bookstores sell genuine books. ”

This is 2.3 million, Chu Huan was very excited in his heart, it was really like spending money.

"Then a large bookstore has to have salesmen, logistics supervisors, buyers, cashiers, deputy general managers, personnel and sales department managers, store managers, office directors, clerks, receptionists at the general service desk, logistics operators, planning and finance, warehousemen, planners, and artists. ”

"There are many employees who are needed, and the monthly salary to be paid, how can this cost 300,000. ”

That's 2.6 million, and wages and rents are necessary to be consumed every month, with a salary of 300,000 and a rent of 300,000 yuan, and a total expenditure of at least 600,000 yuan per month, which is 2.4 million yuan in four months.

Chu Huanxin said, that's pretty much it.

The system gave a loss of 5 million tasks to easily get it.

Zhuang Qiang hasn't finished yet.

"In order to make the bookstore famous, I thought it necessary to hold salons with dramatists, novelists, poets, musicians, painters, critics, philosophers and politicians. Gathering in a bookstore, sipping a drink, listening to elegant music, and having a long conversation is conducive to the fame and taste of the bookstore, and can also gather popularity. ”

"Of course, the venue and drinks are provided for free. And to attract these people, the environment of the bookstore and the quality of the coffee must not be bad, otherwise people will not come. ”

"There are also celebrity lectures, even if the celebrity lectures are free, it is difficult to invite people, and they need to be courteous, and the popular point is that they need to give people red envelopes. ”

"In particular, inviting celebrities to the bookstore for a book signing and taking advantage of the celebrity's fan effect is the fastest way to make the bookstore famous. However, the appearance fee of ordinary celebrities is very high, even if they are second- and third-tier stars, they have to start from 100,000. ”

"According to my estimates, in the first three or four months of the bookstore's opening, you have to be prepared to lose at least five or six million. ”

Zhuang Qiang was shocked when he said that he almost slapped himself.

Oh, how did you do it, you floated as you spoke, and you lost five or six million, so it didn't scare Mr. Chu away!

Mistakes, mistakes!

Well, most of the work this time is going to be yellow again.

Chu Huan looked at Zhuang Qiang in amazement, this guy is not a rescuer invited by a monkey, he will give me whatever I want, and he will lose five or six million in three or four months.

This is exactly the kind of talent I need, it's a pity that we meet late, so it's good to meet this guy sooner.

Chu Huan stood up excitedly and held Zhuang Qiang's hand.

"Mr. Zhuang Qiang, congratulations, you have been hired. ”

Zhuang Qiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and finally, he found a boss with great talent, and he was also a wise man who knew the hero, which was really rare.

Zhuang Qiang held Chu Huan's hand tightly and said excitedly:

"Thank you, Mr. Chu, I will definitely do my best to manage your bookstore. I would venture to ask, Mr. Chu, where is your bookstore and what is its name? When can I go to work?"

Chu Huan told him bluntly.

"The name of the bookstore hasn't been decided yet. ”

"What!"

Zhuang Qiang was stunned for a moment, he didn't think of the name of the bookstore, this is not nonsense, and hurriedly said:

"Mr. Chu, it's not okay if the bookstore doesn't have a name!"

Chu Huan smiled slightly.

"It's okay, Zhuang Qiang, calm down, there is no name, because there are no bookstores yet. ”

"What the hell!"

Zhuang Qiang's eyes widened, and he asked so many questions before he co-authored, it turned out that he was going to start from scratch, which was too bad.

There is nothing, not even a name, Zhuang Qiang's fiery heart suddenly cooled, I am afraid that this errand will be yellow before it starts, Mr. Chu is really unreliable.
