Chapter 081: A Shortcut to God
Lu Yuxin handed over a form file and said: "This is the sales report of the books of the Meteor Book Bar last week, with a total sales of 660,000 yuan and a profit of 145,000 yuan, plus the income of the reading room, the total profit last week was about 150,000 yuan." ”
"150,000?
Liu Xing was a little surprised, he read "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" wholeheartedly last week, and the business of the book bar was completely ignored, and he still made 150,000 yuan unexpectedly.
Last week's income mainly came from "The Book Coffin Master", which sold 57 copies and made a profit of 132,000 yuan. Lu Yuxin reminded, "Liu Xing, you can take a look at this sales report, if there is no problem, I will enter the account." ”
Liu Xing glanced twice, picked up the pen, and signed his name on the sales report. He is the owner of the book bar, and he needs to look at all the accounts of the book bar.
"The Meteor Book Bar will officially open next month, and many people have come to the book bar to apply for jobs these days. ”
At this time, Lu Yuxin opened a drawer at the account desk, took out a thick stack of documents and materials, and handed it over, "There are a total of 44 resumes and materials of candidates here, and the position they applied for is a waiter at the Meteor Book Bar." For the time being, the book bar only needs to recruit 20 waiters, take a look, who are you going to hire?"
Liu Xing picked up the resume information of the applicants, which were all sorted out by Lu Yuxin, and they were done quite meticulously, listing the advantages and disadvantages of the 44 candidates, which was clear at a glance.
After quickly scanning the resumes of 44 applicants, Liu Xing picked out 20 resumes and said, "Just hire these 20 people." ”
"You chose it so quickly?" Lu Yuxin's face showed surprise, and asked strangely, "These 44 candidates are all good, I didn't know who to choose for most of the day, you only took 5 minutes to choose, what is the basis for you to hire employees?"
"It's very simple, whoever is beautiful will be hired. ”
"......" Lu Yuxin was a little speechless, "How can we just look at our looks? We are recruiting waiters, not recruiting models." ”
Liu Xing disagreed: "The waiter is beautiful, even if the service attitude is a little worse, the customer is easy to tolerate." On the contrary, the waiter is too abstract, and even if the service attitude is top-notch, the customer may not buy it. Most people are more tolerant of beautiful women, and choosing a sweet-looking girl to be a waiter is definitely advantageous under the same salary. As for the service attitude, it can't be seen from the resume, try it for a while. If you can, you will stay, and if you can't, you will be expelled. ”
Lu Yuxin always felt that what he said was crooked, but she didn't know how to refute it, so she asked: "By the way, there is one more thing, on the opening day of the book bar, do you want to invite a professional celebration company to help plan it?"
"The celebration company doesn't need it. Liu Xing said, "The opening of the book bar is simpler, and I don't have the energy to make so many messy things." ”
"Liu Xing, I think the celebration company still needs it. At this time, Wang Lanlan, who was writing a novel, raised her head and interjected, "You must not be as embarrassed as the last time the bookstore opened!"
Lu Yuxin was curious: "What happened last time?"
"The last time Meteor Bookstore opened, Liu Xing didn't get anything, and it was deserted on the opening day. Wang Lanlan recalled, "Except for a few strings of firecrackers and fireworks, there was not a single person cheering, not even a single customer......
"Nonsense, who said there are no customers?" Liu Xing reminded, "Later, didn't you recruit the police?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I set off firecrackers and got two policemen, and I almost got fined. Wang Lanlan put away the smile on her face and said seriously, "Liu Xing, this time the Meteor Book Bar opens, don't be so miserable anymore, it must be prosperous and lively." ”
Lan Lan is right, the opening must be grand. Lu Yuxin pointed to the resumes of the 20 candidates that Liu Xinggang had just selected, and asked, "Also, how much are you going to give the salaries of these 20 waiters?"
Leaning on the account table, Liu Xing said earnestly: "Mr. Lu, you can do something as trivial as a salary by yourself, and you don't have to ask for my opinion." I don't have anything to worry about your ability to do things. I have something to do today, so I'll take care of the book bar first. ”
"What's more important to you than the opening of the book bar......? Hey, Liu Xing, where are you going? Stop! Dizzy, why did you run away again!"
……
Leaving the book bar, Liu Xing took a taxi and prepared to go to the office of the management committee of Novel Street to talk to President Wang Tairan.
Liu Xing is now preparing to enter the "Legend of the Condor Heroes", if you follow the normal reading method, then it will take about a year or even longer to enter the gods.
It's just that the situation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a bit special, and there may be a more convenient way to get into the gods, because "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Babu" are inseparable, and their stories take place in the same martial arts world.
Liu Xing has already entered the "Dragon Babu", and there is already a world of "Dragon Babu" in his mind. Now that you are in the "Legend of the Condor Heroes", can you borrow some environmental information from the world of "Dragon Babu"?
It's like making a movie, when you shoot the same series of movies, you can shoot in the same place, and you don't have to rebuild a new set for each movie, which can save you time in shooting.
If this method works, then the time to enter the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be greatly reduced.
Liu Xing didn't find any relevant reading theory on the Internet, and he went to Wang Tairan today to ask him for advice in person.
Ten minutes later, Liu Xing successfully arrived at the office building of the Novel Street Management Committee and went straight to the president's office.
The president's office is not accessible to ordinary people, and it usually needs to be booked in advance, but Liu Xing doesn't need to be so troublesome, after he identified himself, he was brought to the president's office by a female assistant.
Liu Xing is a good friend of Wang Lanlan, so Wang Tairan gave Liu Xing a privilege to come to him at any time if he has something.
When he walked to the door of the office, Liu Xing heard a cough, and saw Wang Tairan sitting at a desk looking at the documents, his face was slightly pale, and he couldn't stop coughing, looking much haggard than last time.
His physical condition seemed to be getting worse and worse.
"Elder Wang. Liu Xing knocked on the office door.
"It's Xiao Liu, come in. Wang Tairan put down the documents in his hand, "What have you been busy with lately, you haven't been here for a long time." ”
"I'm running the book bar business. Liu Xing turned around and said, "Elder Wang, your health is not very good, you should rest more." ”
Wang Tairan smiled faintly and said, "I will retire in four months, and there are some things that cannot be delayed." What's more, my body is not as good as day by day, and I may leave at some point, and if I don't deal with these things, I won't have a chance to deal with them in the future. ”
Listening to his words, Liu Xing's heart was sour.
Wang Tairan can be regarded as the first reading tutor Liu Xing met, and he learned many reading theories from Wang Tairan. Among them, the copy of "Ma Xingkong into the God General Outline" was given to him by Wang Tairan.
Now that Wang Tairan's health is deteriorating, Liu Xing is naturally not very comfortable. If Wang Tairan had any disease, Liu Xing would definitely find a way to cure him, but Wang Tairan was not sick at all, but aged naturally.
Wang Tairan is 98 years old, and even if he is healthy, he is only one step away from death.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is a natural law, and no one can stop it.
"Xiao Liu, is there something to find me today?" Wang Tairan asked directly.
"I have a question. Liu Xing said, "Fascinating reading requires the transformation of words into pictures, if the world environment of two novels is the same, then can the pictures of the two novels be shared?"
After listening, a trace of surprise flashed between Wang Tairan's eyebrows, and asked, "Why do you ask this question?"
"Uh......" Liu Xing lied, "When I went to bed last night, I had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of it. ”
"Did you really think of it yourself?"
"There's no need for me to lie. ”
After a short silence, Wang Tairan let out a long sigh and said with emotion: "After so many years, someone finally asked this question again. The question you are asking is called 'sympathy' in the theory of reading. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Same-realm and different feelings refer to different storylines in the same world environment. Wang Tairan said, "The world environment of some novels is the same, but the plot is different, which is 'the same situation and different feelings'." ”
Liu Xing nodded, this was exactly the question he wanted to ask. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Babu" are different stories in the same martial arts world, and they belong to the category of "different feelings in the same situation".
Wang Tairan said slowly: "Among the more than 70,000 students I have taught, you are the second person to ask the question of 'different feelings in the same situation'. ”
"Who is the first one?" Liu Xing was curious.
The first person to ask this question was Duan Feng, a genius student at the School of Fiction forty years ago. At the age of 16, he won the first place in the juvenile group in the 2nd Chinese Novel Reading Competition, and his future is limitless. ”
Wang Tairan said regretfully, "It's a pity that Duan Feng later joined the Money Book Society, failed to resist the temptation of money, became the right-hand man of Jin Santong, and began to engage in some illegal financial activities. ”
Unexpectedly, someone thought about a similar question decades ago, and Liu Xing asked: "So, can 'the same situation and different feelings' be used in reading?"
"Theoretically, yes. Wang Tairan affirmed, "If the technique of 'being in the same situation and different feelings' is applied to reading, the reading efficiency can be improved several times." ”
Hearing this, Liu Xing was secretly happy in his heart, if the reading efficiency can be improved several times, then the time to enter the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" can be shortened by several times!
This is a shortcut to the "Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
