Chapter 593. Shop

Speaking of which, Lao Cao used to be just a relatively large used book seller, and he sold books very neatly, in large quantities and in large quantities, making a difference in the middle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 But with the rise of the second-hand book business, many people who dump used books know how to sell them to make money, and it is getting more and more difficult if you want to sell them in the middle. If it weren't for following Lin Yi for the past few years, Lao Cao's life would be worrying.

In fact, Lao Cao's opening of an online bookstore was also Lin Yi's suggestion. In the past, Lao Cao only opened a physical bookstore, mainly used for purchases--- he didn't care about the location and location of the store, as long as he could attract old customers.

According to Lin Yi, it is better to open an online store, neither need a store, but also don't care about time, turn on the computer every day when you are free, deal with it if you have business, and do other things if you don't have business. If you are in a hurry to buy books, you can contact them by phone. If you only open a physical bookstore, you have to sit in the store every day if you have a business or not, then it is called pestering. You have to deal with all kinds of inspections, and if you don't pay attention, you will come and confiscate your books. It's still better to have the Internet, and it's much freer.

Lao Cao is also a smart person, and when he heard this, he said yes.

Not a week later, one night, it was more than ten o'clock, Lin Yi was ready to go to bed, Lao Cao contacted him on the Internet and said, Brother, I won today. What did Lin Yi say? Could it be that you have been lifted? Lao Cao said that I won the list, a book bought by a reader in Hainan, I only put it on the shelves yesterday, and I paid ten minutes after placing the order. Lin Yi said that it was very good, it was a good start! Lao Cao said, that is! I have been sitting next to the computer since eight o'clock, I heard the beeping sound on the Internet, clicked on it, it turned out to be an order, and after confirming it in a hurry, he actually paid, Nima, so excited!

Looking at Lao Cao's excited appearance, he thought he had picked up a golden doll or something. Spending two hours and earning dozens of yuan, in fact, this pay is quite low, but for Lao Cao, who is used to doing both ends in real life, all this is so new and interesting.

Of course, Lin Yi understands Lao Cao's mood at this time: business, the fresher it is, the more interesting it is. It doesn't matter how much money you have, it's the most enjoyable place to change the content of your life.

Unexpectedly, Lao Cao's joy was soon interrupted by his troubles, because Lao Cao was in trouble sending books at the post office.

It turned out that although Lao Cao was a well-known bookseller and second-class dealer, because he had never run an online store before, the staff at the nearby post office did not know him, so he was "business-like".

First of all, Lao Cao packed the book at home, and according to the requirements, he had already put on the sealing glue, and was about to take it to pay the money and send the book, but who knows, the good girl at the post office wiped her face and said: Demolished! Lao Cao said: I sent a book. The girl said: I didn't open it, who knows what book you sent? Lao Cao: Is there any legal or illegal cursive book? The girl said, of course, oh, such as piracy, eroticism, Hong Kong and Taiwan, are not allowed to be sent, and we have a notice from the post office above. Lao Cao said: I'll send a copy, besides, do I look like a bad person? Don't look at me with a big bald head, I know how to read and etiquette. The girl said, bad people never say that they are bad, and I am not a seven or eight-year-old child. Lao Cao was speechless for a while.

After waiting for a few minutes, the girl said, do you want to send it or not? Lao Cao said: I wrapped it and brought it, why didn't I send it? The girl said: Then you open it and I will check! At this time, a person waiting behind shouted: What are you shouting, hurry up and walk away, I still have to send the registration and go back to play mahjong. Lao Cao had no choice but to open it.

How do you know that Lao Cao is tightly packed first, and secondly, he is a little nervous, and it is damaged as soon as he opens it, which is miserable. The girl said, you have to re-wrap it in kraft paper, go quickly, there are stationery stores on the street that sell them. Lao Cao had to temporarily drop the mail bag, go all over the street to find kraft paper, turn it around a few times, and when he returned to the post office, the girl had already left work. Lao Cao couldn't get the book, and he couldn't send it, so he had to go home.

When he returned home, Lao Cao was angry, remembering that he used to do business with a lot of money, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even get a post office now. The experience of sending books made him feel that this online business was not as easy to do as he imagined.

In the afternoon, Lao Cao filled out the delivery note and was about to go home, and the girl in the post office taught a lesson: the next time I remember that the book should not be packaged first, and then sealed after inspection. Now the above requirements are strict, and if something goes wrong, I will lose my job. Lao Cao said, am I so bad, do I deliberately cheat you? The girl said, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows?!

Later, Lao Cao told Lin Yi what happened, and Lin Yi laughed so much that he couldn't do it, saying that you have a big bald head in vain, your brain is not bright at all, and you don't want to think about what society is now, without popularity, it is difficult to move an inch.

Lao Cao blinked and said, then how should I get along with them? Lin Yi said that you might as well adopt the method of "saving the country by curves". Lao Cao was puzzled. Lin Yi said: That is, you go to investigate what snacks and snacks that girl likes to eat, the girls who work in the post office are good for this bite, you spend less money, melon seeds and candy are waiting, and it will be done. Lao Cao smiled after hearing this, no wonder you can deceive the girl from Begonia and have a way to deal with girls.

Before long, Lao Cao really captured the smiling face of the girl in the post office, and since then there is no barrier to sending books. Lao Cao is overjoyed, and the online business is getting better and better, and it is getting bigger and bigger. But what really made Lao Cao realize the power of the Internet was another thing.

That day, Lin Yi was sorting out his collection of books at home, and Lao Cao called and said that he would come out for dinner. Lin Yi said that it was foolish, just your hard work, you won't let me pay again. Lao Cao said, I pay the bill, I don't lie to you. Lin Yi asked Lao Cao why he was so generous today, and Lao Cao said: You don't know, I sent it. Lin Yi said: What's the matter, who did you kill again? Lao Cao said: Do you want to know? Let's talk about it when we meet.

After meeting, Lin Yi learned the reason, it turned out that Lao Cao had been following Lin Yi for a long time, and he knew some knowledge of ancient book versions, and knew that some seemingly inconspicuous books could be treasures. Not long ago, he received a batch of books, including a set of thread-bound books, which is a photocopy of the manuscript "Dripping Heavenly Marrow Interpretation", this set of fortune-telling books was published in the 22nd year of the Republic of China, and the thread-bound letter was in four volumes, and only 100 copies were photocopied at that time.

According to the previous practice, Lao Cao would directly change hands and pour it out. But now that the store has opened online, and after following Lin Yi for a long time, he knows that there are many treasures in the thread-bound book, so he hangs it on the Internet and checks the price, Nima, it is seventy or eighty thousand. So he tried to mark the price of 88,000, but he didn't expect to be ordered in less than three days, and finally 80,000 yuan was sold.

Afterwards, Lao Cao mobilized all the knowledge he had learned, but he could not explain this phenomenon. In the end, it has to come down to the loveliness of the market economy. Lao Cao said, damn, I knew that selling books online had such a connotation, and I should have come to open a store ten years ago.

The two ate grilled fish over and over again while chatting. Lin Yi said to Lao Cao: Don't make a fuss, selling books on the Internet is like this, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, what is sold is scarcity, and what is sold is quality. As for the buyers, there are investments, hobbies, and elegant ...... The eight immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers. In the eyes of others, it may be waste paper, but in the eyes of collectors, it may be a treasure. For example, the set of "Dripping Heavenly Marrow Interpretation", if it is not good, it was bought by some fortune teller, and if you go back to someone to study it casually, you can earn back the 80,000 yuan that was spent.

After hearing this, Lao Cao nodded vigorously, since he started following Lin Yiming, he had never been so serious.

During the meal, Lao Cao said several times that he would not go back to set the price of scarce books higher, and then reduce the price if the buyers were too high, he said that the price of everything is now rising, that is, the price of books has not risen much, although there are skyrocketing lack of books, in fact, most of them are still low-priced, and many have not yet been sold at the stalls.

Lin Yi said that in China's current society, everything must be read, that is, books can not be read, and the price of anything can be increased, that is, the price of books does not dare to rise. The ancients: In the prosperous era, the network technology is so developed, who will read it? Who's collecting? Who knows if the books in their collection will be a waste of paper in the future? Therefore, it is better to sell books online as soon as you see it, and let the funds return faster, don't think about eating a big fat man in one bite.

Now, with the guidance of a super military advisor and collector like Lin Yi, Lao Cao's online store is getting bigger and bigger, like a fish in water, and now he is even more hands-off, he is only responsible for the purchase, hired people to sell books, and the net profit reached 20,000 or 30,000 yuan in a month, and according to this rate, the profit is almost nearly one million in a year.
