Chapter 362: The Second Trick to Make a Fortune
Luo Qingluan didn't know at all, she wanted to find Nangong Yu, and Nangong Yu was also looking for her.
It has been two or three days since he arrived in Dongwan, and Nangong Yu mobilized all the people under his name to secretly search for Luo Qingluan's whereabouts, but there is still no news. He naturally knew that Luo Qingluan would not reveal his identity in Dongwan and show up publicly, but he hid his identity like this, where could he find it?
For a while, Nangong Yu was also very depressed, if he couldn't find Luo Qingluan as soon as possible and bring her back to Xichu, he was afraid that his father's heart disease would be committed again.
Out of Ruyi Pavilion, Luo Qingluan didn't want to go back so soon, thinking that it had been a few days since he went to Baiwei Study last time, so he just went to see it again. I don't know how Mr. Jiang's bookstore membership business is doing, and whether there are any new problems.
Walking forward, when Luo Qingluan and Xu Lian found Baiwei Study, the flow of people there was much less than last time. No one queued up to buy memberships anymore, but there were still people coming in and out, mostly with books in their hands, coming in groups of three or five. In the surrounding shops, business is quite good.
Luo Qingluan looked inside, Jiang Bingwen was busy in front of the counter with his head down, two guys were sorting out the books that had been turned over, and a young man walked to the counter with a stack of things like account books, and no one noticed that Luo Qingluan was coming.
With a faint smile, Luo Qingluan walked in and said hello: "Mr. Jiang." ”
As soon as Jiang Bingwen raised his head, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed: "It turned out that Miss Luo was here, please hurry up." Jiang Yunhai immediately put down the account book in his hand, and hurriedly swept a chair with his sleeve: "Miss Luo, please take a seat." ”
"Don't be so polite, Jiang Gongzi." Luo Qingluan smiled and looked around: "I'm passing by here, so I'll take a look by the way." Mr. Jiang, how is the study business lately? ”
As soon as he mentioned this, Jiang Bingwen's face was flushed, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile. Recently, the business of Baiwei Study has been much better than before, and not only the whole family is happy, but he is also relieved. He was also relieved to be able to carry forward the study passed down from his ancestors.
All this is thanks to the girl in front of her, if it weren't for the way she thought of it, I'm afraid that it would still be the same now, and the whole family would still be worried. He was afraid that he would sigh all day long, and he would not be worried.
Putting down the brush with a smile, Jiang Bingwen arched his hand towards Luo Qingluan: "Thanks to Miss Luo, the business of the old man's study is very good." He beckoned to Luo Qingluan, picked up the account book that Jiang Yunhai brought just now, and opened it to Luo Qingluan: "Miss Luo came to see this." ”
Walking behind the counter, Luo Qingluan flipped through the contents of the account book page by page, all of which were the identity information of each customer, the date of registration of members, the amount paid, etc., in addition, it was also written clearly what books these people borrowed, whether they were returned, and other marks.
"This account book is very well done, not bad." Luo Qingluan turned his head to look at Jiang Yunhai and said with a smile: "Jiang Gongzi wrote it, right?" ”
Being praised by Luo Qingluan like this, Jiang Yunhai actually blushed a little: "My father has worked too hard today, and as a son of man, I should share my father's worries." It's just that I don't know how it is written, and if there are any deficiencies, Miss Luo pointed it out. ”
This account book is already very well done, and as long as it can meet daily needs, it will be sufficient.
Luo Qingluan nodded and asked, "Has Mr. Jiang counted all the recent income?" Have you calculated how much profit there is? I think the business in the store today is not as hot as last time, it should be stabilizing, right? ”
Thinking of the situation in the last few days, Jiang Bingwen was also very excited.
A huge Baiwei study, no less than tens of thousands of books, astronomy and geography, biographies, and examination knowledge, there is simply everything. Except for the stuff that doesn't get on the table...... He is basically complete here, and it can be called the largest study in the entire Dongwan.
But if it weren't for Luo Qingluan's appearance, I'm afraid that his Baiwei study would still be lingering. In other bookstores, the smallest can also have an income of seven or eight hundred taels of silver per month, and the larger study bookstore has a normal income of several thousand taels per month. But his Baiwei study, it is very good to have 500 taels a month, the cost of going out, and some of it is used for capital turnover, and the whole family has almost no money, and it is really poor.
But with Luo Qingluan's membership-based rental business, the business in the store suddenly improved. In just these days, there are thousands of taels of silver coming in, and although there are fewer people coming these days, most of the guests have already become members.
Coupled with the rent that has not been returned within the time limit, as well as the profit from the normal sale of books, Jiang Bingwen has roughly calculated, and he will basically be able to stabilize his monthly income at 1,000 taels of silver in the future, which is much better than in the past.
"Only a thousand taels?" Hearing this, Luo Qingluan frowned.
According to her expectations, if such a big study can't earn two thousand taels of silver, it will basically be in vain. At the beginning, she calculated an account, how much membership income should be, and the monthly profit later, but after a slight revision by Jiang Bingwen and Jiang Yunhai, combined with the habits of most people in the capital, the income was still slightly less.
If it was Jiang Bingwen, he might be satisfied, but Luo Qingluan would definitely not.
Once you do something, you have to do it your best and put all your mind to it, otherwise you don't do it. And at this time, I think she should take the opportunity to make a fortune in Dongwan again, even if she is bored and waiting for Nalan Night, find something to do by herself.
Besides, she originally planned to do the same, and this was her second plan for Baiwei Study.
"Mr. Jiang, you see that other study houses have at least one or two thousand income per month, I think it's time to improve the business of Baiwei Study again. After all, it is only a thousand taels of income per month, and I am really sorry for such a big study. Luo Qingluan said.
Jiang Bingwen was a little embarrassed: "Miss Luo, old decay is really not business material, but since you have inherited the family business passed down from your ancestors, you can't watch it collapse." Miss Luo's mind is old and old, but old and old is really dull......"
"If you don't give it a try, Mr. Jiang will admit defeat like this, is it too unconfident in me?"
Luo Qingluan smiled slightly, naturally she would not force Jiang Bingwen, she would use her own methods and means to earn the first pot of gold in Dongwan. Anyway, being idle is idle, so why don't you find something to do?
"Miss Luo, are you ......" Jiang Bingwen and Jiang Yunhai were both a little surprised, but they were not sure.
Without saying it directly, Luo Qingluan thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Jiang, I want to ask, what kind of books do people who come to you borrow books usually borrow?" ”
Jiang Bingwen said: "Most of the guests in my study are divided into two categories, one is the students who go to school, they basically come to buy books for the imperial examination, or some casual information. There are also some people who have a little spare money and like to read, and often come to buy some biographies, legends and the like. For example, our first founding majesty of the Dongwan Kingdom, as well as some wars of the Generalissimo Litian against the previous dynasty, etc...... This type of book sells quite well. It's just that with the recent membership system, they don't have to buy anymore, they just borrow it. ”
somewhat expectedly, Luo Qingluan became more confident after listening to Jiang Bingwen's words.
In fact, not only Dongwan Kingdom, but even Western Chu is similar. Those who have a slightly better family background, and don't like to go to the Qinglou, or have a tigress at home, dare not go, if they call friends to eat, drink and have fun, occasionally it is okay, often they can't afford to spend. These people want to have fun, so reading some miscellaneous books is the best way to pass the time.
Even some daughters in Xichu like to read the words of talented and beautiful people, of course, it will never be as explicit as those written by Xiao Huang, but the lovesickness of love and love, and the lingering stories are still very popular with spring boudoir women.
As for those who read and young people, they naturally like to watch the drama of a poor show and a rich lady who meets a rich lady by chance, and finally becomes famous and holds a beauty. Therefore, as long as the content of the book is suitable, fresh, curious, and satisfies everyone's fantasies, then there will naturally be a market.
Hearing Luo Qingluan say that he wanted to write his own story to sell, Jiang Bingwen didn't believe it, but ......
"Miss Luo, this ...... I don't know what story Miss Luo wants to tell? Jiang Yunhai was also very curious. Although he had heard from his father about Luo Qingluan's ability and had seen it with his own eyes, he was still surprised when he heard that Luo Qingluan wanted to help them expand their business and write a story to sell.
After thinking about it, Luo Qingluan still decided to make a shorter story at first.
In her previous life, she had watched countless things, whether it was TV movies or myths and legends, she definitely knew more than the people here. I'm afraid that no matter how many you pick out, they will definitely be very popular and make people flock to them.
Since it is a test of the waters, let's talk about it briefly at the beginning, Luo Qingluan thought about the content, and couldn't help laughing: "I have a story of a talented and beautiful woman, but it is bizarre and interesting, and I don't know if it will work, I will tell Mr. Jiang and Jiang Gongzi first, see what you think?" ”
Suddenly, both of them became interested, nodded and said, "Miss Luo, please speak." ”
"Once upon a time, there was a Taishou, he only had an only daughter named Du Liniang, who loved like a pearl in the palm of her hand, was smart and beautiful since she was a child, and loved her a lot. This Du Taishou felt that her daughter had grown up, and she was quite good at embroidering and playing the piano, so she was going to hire another gentleman and teach her to read and write poetry......"
The story Luo Qingluan told was naturally the famous Peony Pavilion in her previous life, she had never heard it here, so she told it as if it was a story.
When she was halfway through her speech, Miss Du's lovesickness actually died of illness, and it came to an abrupt end.
"Ah, is Miss Du really dead?" Jiang Yunhai actually listened to it and hurriedly asked.
Luo Qingluan didn't answer the rhetorical question, and said with a smile: "Miss Du is naturally dead, but she will come back to life, I don't know what Jiang Gongzi thinks of this story?" ”
Jiang Yunhai realized his eagerness, and was a little surprised: "Miss Luo's story is really good, I have never heard such a story before." He sighed a little: "People can still possess themselves when they die, and there is a flower god in the story...... It's really strange, Miss Luo, if this story is really written, I promise that many people will like it. ”
In that case, let's be the story.
And Luo Qingluan is very confident, in addition to this story, there are too many stories she remembers, whether it is a short legend and myth, or a long love story, a legendary adventure, etc., as long as they are written out and printed into a book, it will definitely increase sales and make people amazing.
However, this kind of story, Mr. Jiang should remember one thing, members can buy the whole book at a 20% discount, but they can't borrow it. Otherwise, there is not much content in these stories, and if you borrow them, it will affect the profit very much. Luo Qingluan admonished.
"Well, Miss Luo, don't worry, we made a note of it." Not only Jiang Bingwen, but even Jiang Yunhai was excited.
Such a fresh and interesting story, which they have never seen before, as long as they quit, they are afraid of being popular!
"Okay, I'll write out all the follow-up content now, and then Mr. Jiang will immediately arrange for someone to print and produce, the price is not too expensive, just five dollars of silver." Luo Qingluan said confidently.
