Although Luo Qingluan was a little embarrassed, he knew a little more about the old man's character.

In these years, there are too few people who can keep their hearts unmoved by external objects, even if they are huge monetary gains. Of course, Luo Qingluan will not do anything against her inner will for the sake of money, she just got those little yellow books to change her situation, which can be regarded as a means.

Although this old gentleman is a little pedantic, he is really simple and cute, and Luo Qingluan feels more and more that he should help him.

"Didn't the old gentleman really think about selling those books? After all, so many people like it, although it can't be on the table, but since there is a market, there will naturally be people who sell it. The so-called existence is reasonable, why should the old gentleman be like this? Didn't anyone persuade the old gentleman? Luo Qingluan said deliberately.

"To exist is to be reasonable?" Unexpectedly, the old man remembered Luo Qingluan's words, and muttered a few words before reacting: "Miss is really witty, but the old man also has his own bottom line." What is the mere money, as long as you can eat and dress warmly, if it is to sell these filthy things and ruin the reputation of my Baiwei study for more than 100 years, even if it is grounded, the old man will not be able to see his parents and ancestors. ”

"The old gentleman's sentiments, the little woman admires it very much, but ......" Luo Qingluan changed his words and said with a faint smile: "If the old gentleman is alive, this Baiwei study will naturally be able to continue to maintain his heart, but if the old gentleman dies, will your sons and grandchildren be the same as the old gentleman?" ”

Hearing this, the old man suddenly raised his head and looked straight ahead.

Luo Qingluan's words simply talked about his weakness and sore spots.

He naturally knows how profitable it is to sell those things, and every month there are many printing workshops to discuss cooperation with him, and in the whole capital, his Baiwei study is the most famous, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is full of praise. The more this is the case, the more those people covet his place, and often send people to lobby, and the price is higher than the other.

He naturally refused without hesitation, and for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince's face, those people didn't dare to do anything to him, so they could only accompany the smiling face again and again and fight patience. But if he's gone......

Thinking of this, the old man was almost certain of the fate of this study.

couldn't help but feel a little sad and helpless, and the old man sighed: "What Miss said is that my sons are nagging in my ears all day long, and they want me to do these too." But the ancestors are above, and my little old man also understands etiquette and knows honesty and shame, how can he waste everything left by his ancestors for money? ”

It seemed to be very embarrassed, and the old man even wiped his tears when he said he was excited.

"Actually...... I can understand the old gentleman's family's desire to make money. After all, everyone wants to live a rich life, I guess the old man is so hard, and he only invites two guys to such a big store, and he also wants to save some money to subsidize the family, right? ”

Luo Qingluan said with a straight face: "In this case, has the old gentleman ever thought of a way, how can he not sell those things, but also make the business better?" When I say good business, I want to reach the sales profit of other bookstores, at least three or five thousand taels of silver a month. ”

When the old man heard this, he kept shaking his head: "Hey, it's difficult, it's difficult, how could the little old man not think about it?" I thought about it with my whole family, but if the solution was so easy to come up with, wouldn't all bookstores be able to make money? Where is the door closed. ”

"I have a method, which is very simple, and it can guarantee that the old gentleman's income will be more than three times more, I wonder if the old gentleman is willing to try?" Luo Qingluan finally said this and smiled slightly.

"Miss, ......" The old man didn't react a little, and said in a daze: "You mean, let my store's income triple more?" As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't believe it, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Miss, don't make fun of me, how can it be so easy?" ”

Luo Qingluan no longer hid it, and said directly: "There are two methods, one is complex, but the benefits are endless, and the other is simple, although the income is less, but it is easier to operate at present, and it is definitely not effortless." ”

Seeing that what Luo Qingluan said was serious, not like a joke, the old man was finally moved: "If Miss can help Xiao Lao'er, what conditions do you have, as long as you are not a traitor, or ......"

Xu Lian frowned, and interjected: "It's good that our young lady is willing to help you make money, how many people in the world can be so lucky?" Not only do you not thank this old gentleman, but you have many conditions, and you simply don't know what to do. ”

"Xu Lian, you don't have to say a word." Luo Qingluan said immediately.

"No, no, don't blame this girl for being angry, the little old man is indeed a little forceful." The old man also gradually calmed down, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world? You don't have to pay a little price to get a lot of money, it's even easier than being a bandit, if that's the case, I'm afraid there will be no beggars in the whole capital.

"If Miss is inconvenient, Xiao Lao'er will never force it, but I still have to thank Miss for ......"

Seeing that the old man didn't believe it at all, he gave up directly, and Luo Qingluan could only comfort him: "Don't worry, old man, I definitely don't want you to sell those things, and it's very simple, just need the old man to prepare a signboard." ”

The old man was confused: "A signboard? How simple is it? ”

I can't think of what Luo Qingluan has come up with, just one signboard can triple the profit of his store's business, this is really ......

Not to mention this old man, even Xu Lian and Xu Wei couldn't figure it out.

They naturally knew that Luo Qingluan was smart and capable, otherwise how could their prince treat her like a jewel, and also gave her the jade medal that could mobilize all the power of the Dark Night Hall? Curious, the two also wanted to know how Luo Qingluan could use a signboard to triple the business of this Baiwei study.

"May I ask the old gentleman......"

Luo Qingluan smiled slightly: "How much is the rental business of the study now?" Who are the guests who usually come to rent books, and what is their status? How much is each book, if the rental price is increased or not, the average guest will read the book for a few days......" She asked a lot of questions before she stopped.

This time, the old man's gaze at Luo Qingluan was even more different.

He has been running the study for decades, so he is naturally familiar with the doorway inside, and Luo Qingluan, a young girl, is also the first to speak, just like she has also been exposed to this. Don't......

Thinking of this, the old man arched his hand for the first time, and his face became serious: "Contemptible Jiang Bingwen, dare to ask Miss ......"

"Mr. Jiang is not polite, sit down, I have some things to do when I first arrived in Dongwan, so it is inconvenient to show my identity, please forgive Mr. Jiang." My surname is Luo, you can just call it. ”

"It turned out to be Miss Luo." Jiang Bingwen paid a little more attention to his face, although he didn't know Luo Qingluan's identity and full name, he also felt that her origin was extraordinary, since she didn't want to say her identity, he naturally wouldn't be reluctant.

When it comes to the operation of the study, even if Jiang Bingwen was a little suspicious before, he is completely relieved now.

"My Baiwei study has been inherited from my great-grandfather, and it has been one hundred and twenty-eight years now." Jiang Bingwen said some of his origins and his family history, and then continued: "Originally, the business of the small shop was not bad, but in recent years, other bookstores have opened a lot, and the business has been somewhat weak, especially since last year, those bookstores began to secretly sell some messy brochures and picture albums, which attracted everyone to rush to buy. ”

This is what makes Jiang Bingwen the most helpless and angry.

Books are the things of sages, things that pass on knowledge and learning, and they are used by some people who are interested in doing such things. Those obscene people who are obscene and subordinate see such a fresh thing, although it is not as comfortable as visiting the Qinglou, but after all, the Qinglou is a one-shot deal, and no matter how much money is spent, it can only be enjoyed once, how can it be compared to these booklets to buy a book and read it for a lifetime?

When he saw this thing for the first time, Jiang Bingwen was simply stunned by the content of the book, blowing his beard and glaring, he didn't expect that anyone else would be able to come up with such a thing. Helpless...... He doesn't accept that there are many people who like this thing, even if he doesn't want to sell it, but in order to make money, there are more people who are willing to sell this book.

Shaking his head, Jiang Bingwen sighed, looking like he hated iron but not steel: "Little Lao'er can only manage himself, but other bookstores buy and sell these things in large quantities, and my study business is naturally not good." If it weren't for the name of His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid it would have closed long ago. ”

After listening to his words, Luo Qingluan had a feeling of crying and laughing, feeling that his study business was not good, all caused by her? Although she can't really blame everything for things, since it has become like this, Luo Qingluan is somewhat guilty.

Although this old gentleman is pedantic and stubborn, there are fewer and fewer people who can stick to his original intention in the face of interests. Luo Qingluan didn't think it was her fault for writing the Little Yellow Book in order to make money, but she was willing to help Jiang Bingwen once.

Xu Lian and Xu Wei, who are familiar with the inside story, couldn't help but hold back, it turned out that she, who was as smart as a princess, would also encounter this kind of thing. It seems that the princess has helped, and it can be regarded as making up for this old gentleman.

learned about the general matter of the study from Jiang Bingwen, and Luo Qingluan calculated an account for him: "The old gentleman's rental business is not very good, and even other bookstores that imitated it at the beginning felt unprofitable and did not quit this, but it is not cost-effective." ”

The books in Baiwei Study are divided into categories, from the cheapest five-dollar silver to the most expensive solitary ancient books, which are often sold for 100 taels or even 1,000 taels. But after all, there are only a few expensive books, and if you sell one book, you will lose one, so it is not a long-term business.

The price of ordinary books is moderate, generally between one tael of silver and five taels, but it is not an exclusive business. It's not just Baiwei Study that is sold, but also other bookstores, if it weren't for the time-honored brand in Baiwei Study, it would be a little bit of Xiao Yuqi's influence, but I am afraid that it will not be advantageous.

The only thing that is stronger than other books, Baiwei Study, has only one point, that is, there are many categories of various books. Some chess games or planting professional books that few people usually buy, other bookstores will not sell them at all, because there are few people who buy them, and the inventory will only waste working capital, which is not cost-effective at all, so they simply do not sell it.

"So, does Mr. Jiang understand," Luo Qingluan analyzed one by one: "If you want to increase profits, you have to start with the biggest advantages of Baiwei Study, as long as you understand this, even if you rent it, you can make a lot of money, Mr. Jiang." ”

Jiang Bingwen became excited when he heard this, and blurted out: "What should I do?" ”
