Chapter 337: Business is booming
The matter of scaring Xiao Ningyu was naturally handed over to Xu Lian, and Luo Qingluan had other things.
Last night, Xu Wei came back and told her that there was no change in the North Wind Dart Bureau, and she didn't see any problems. And at the end of the day, a black bird flew out of the dart game, if it was someone else, let alone recognize it, I was afraid that I couldn't even pay attention, but Xu Wei recognized this black bird as the dark harrier.
A bird that has been trained to deliver information in the Hall of the Night.
Luo Qingluan is already five points sure, Liu Donghai should not be suspicious. If her letter could be delivered to Nalan Ye, she would be 100% sure.
This is Dongwan, she has to be a little more careful.
In addition to the matter of the North Wind Dart Bureau, Luo Qingluan plans to find other industries in the Dark Night Hall today, and it would be even better if he could find the direct entrance of the hall.
Xu Lian wanted to guard Xiao Ningyu, so Luo Qingluan took Xu Wei out with him. Because they didn't know what the properties of the Dark Night Hall were on Dongwan's side, they could only check each street one by one, hoping to find out.
After all, those marks are very secret, and if you are not careful, you will not find them at all, and Luo Qingluan can't ask, so she can only look for them slowly.
The streets are still full of people and lively, and Dongwan has been in the first position in the four countries because of its strong strength, and there has been no war for more than ten years. Living and working in peace and contentment, rich and peaceful, thinking of the current situation in Xichu, Luo Qingluan misses the dullness of the past more and more.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of the people in front of him, Luo Qingluan unconsciously walked to the vicinity of Baiwei Study, which he had come to the day before yesterday.
Seeing that signboard by accident, Luo Qingluan reacted, but compared to the cold when she came last time, there was a long queue at the door of Baiwei Study today, and it looked lively.
It seems that Mr. Jiang has started to launch a membership system, right?
Luo Qingluan thought about it and laughed unconsciously, it seems that Mr. Jiang still can't wait to try it. Now that business is so good, it seems that the effect is good.
A little farther away, Luo Qingluan stood on the street and watched. I saw that the door of Baiwei Study was crowded, in addition to queuing up to register to buy a membership card, it also attracted countless people to watch. Some people find it lively and buy a few books, while more people are pointing fingers and don't quite understand what this membership system means.
I got closer, and I could hear the noise of the crowd.
"Is it true that you can read all your books by paying fifty taels? Is there such a good thing? As soon as I heard this man's words, I knew that he was not short of money, at least not the kind of poor scholar.
"If it's true, it's a good deal, there are a lot of books in Baiwei Study, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often comes to see them."
"A book is rented back for twenty wen, although it sounds cost-effective, but fifty taels to see all the books is not bad, the key is that there are many books in this Baiwei study, and there are many out-of-print books."
There are a lot of people in line who are not short of money, and they want to quickly get a membership to take advantage, but there are more people who are around the door, pushing and shoving, but there is no money: "Hey, shopkeeper, it's too expensive for you to get fifty taels, who knows if you cheated money?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Jiang Bingwen said with a calm face: "The contemptible study is a century-old brand, and if you have a head and a face, will you be cheated fifty taels?" If you don't believe it, you won't be reluctant. ”
"Shopkeeper, what do you mean by membership, I don't understand?"
For this kind of guest, Jiang Bingwen asked the guy to invite him into the lobby to explain well, Luo Qingluan also saw another young man, wearing a long gown and cloth shoes, but he was dignified, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, it should be his son.
Xu Wei's admiring voice came from beside him: "Miss, your method is really good, you see that there are so many people, and the business is really good." ”
Originally, Luo Qingluan thought that if the business of Baiwei Study was not good, she would go to Mr. Jiang to talk about it, but she didn't expect to see so many people now, which was a little unexpected for her. Since this is the case, the other party is so busy, there is no need for Luo Qingluan to bother.
was thinking about leaving, but he didn't expect a voice from behind him: "Is it Miss Luo?" Come in and take a seat. ”
Jiang Bingwen didn't expect to see that familiar figure in the crowd, and he hurriedly greeted Luo Qingluan.
There is no way to leave at this time, Luo Qingluan can only separate the crowd and walk into the lobby, Jiang Bingwen can't care about greeting guests at all, Luo Qingluan is a great benefactor who rescued his Baiwei study business, and he must greet him in person.
"Miss Luo, please take a seat." Jiang Bingwen also went to make a pot of tea in person, and his respectful appearance made Luo Qingluan a little embarrassed. After all, the other party is so much older than her, in terms of age, he can be her father more than enough.
Seeing that Jiang Bingwen was about to salute her, Luo Qingluan hurriedly helped him up: "Mr. Jiang, I can't help it." I just said a few words casually, I don't deserve such a big gift from you. ”
"Make! Make! Jiang Bingwen was really excited, and his face turned a little red.
Today, it has only been open for half a day, and he has already registered forty or fifty members, which is more than two thousand taels of silver, which is usually four or five months before he can earn so much. And now there is such a long queue outside, countless people are afraid to ask later, don't even think about it, I'm afraid that the profit of his Baiwei study this month will exceed 5,000 taels of silver.
This was unthinkable before!
Jiang Bingwen's mood Luo Qingluan also understood, she smiled and said: "Since Mr. Jiang's business is good, I am also happy." ”
After a while, Jiang Bingwen finally calmed down and greeted Luo Qingluan for a while, and then listed some of the issues related to the membership system that he had discussed with his two sons last night in his notebook and showed them to Luo Qingluan.
The booklet is densely written in italic, listing the matters that need to be paid attention to one by one, Luo Qingluan took a general look, and some details about the membership system have basically been included in the booklet. It even includes some of the questions she asked before, such as how many days a book members can read, how many days it must be returned, and what are the requirements if the deadline is exceeded. If you are a non-member, you will rent a book at what price, and you will write it in great detail.
Before, Luo Qingluan was worried that Jiang Bingwen would have some deficiencies in management, but now it seems that even if he has some deficiencies, with the help of his family, he can make up for this gap.
Luo Qingluan glanced at the young man who was greeting guests in the front hall, and said with a light smile: "Is that the old gentleman's son?" ”
Jiang Bingwen smiled: "Yes, Miss Luo, this is the dog Jiang perennial." He and my youngest son discussed these things together, and today I thought that business was really busy, so I called him over to help. ”
Seeing Jiang's warm and familiar appearance of greeting guests all year round, Luo Qingluan nodded and said, "If you can have Jiang Gongzi to share the worries of Mr. Jiang, you can also be more relaxed." ”
Seeing that Jiang Bingwen had a look of embarrassment on his face, Luo Qingluan asked him, "Does Mr. Jiang have any problems?" Let's put it bluntly. ”
Jiang Bingwen was actually very embarrassed, if it wasn't for Luo Qingluan to help him come up with this idea, he wouldn't have been able to bring Baiwei Study back to life, but he was afraid that it wouldn't take a year or two to completely collapse. But now that Luo Qingluan has thought so thoughtfully for him, he still has to rely on her, which has to make Jiang Bingwen a little embarrassed.
Seeing his stumbling and embarrassed look, Luo Qingluan roughly guessed his thoughts: "It's okay, Mr. Jiang is not familiar with this membership system, if there is anything you don't understand, you can bring it up, let's discuss it." ”
"That's really grateful, Miss Luo," Jiang Bingwen said, "I've discussed it with the dog, this membership system is indeed conducive to the study business, and most of the guests are fixed in our study, even if they are old customers." But there is another problem, the old man is very worried, and he doesn't know how to solve it. ”
Jiang Bingwen paused before continuing: "The membership system proposed by Miss Luo is indeed very good, but ...... What if a guest borrows a book and never returns it? ”
This is what Jiang Bingwen has been worried about, a large part of the books in his study are priceless out-of-print ancient books, let alone buying, I am afraid that some people have never heard of it.
It is also handed down from his ancestors, and he usually only borrows and does not sell. He was worried that if the books were borrowed by the guests, wouldn't it be a big loss for him not to return them? It's definitely not something that 50 taels of silver can make up for!
Listening to Jiang Bingwen's words, Luo Qingluan smiled dumbly: "It's very simple, Mr. Jiang is too worried." You only need to divide the book into two parts, one part can be borrowed by members at will, only need to specify the time limit to return it, the price of these books can not exceed 50 taels of silver, even if the guest takes the book away and does not return, or simply drops it, then it is also a loss for the guest, and the interests of the study will never be damaged. ”
"The second part of the book is, just like Mr. Jiang said that these are out-of-print ancient books. Naturally, this kind of book cannot be borrowed, but it can be borrowed according to the identity of the guest or the guarantor, otherwise it can only be sold at a high price. With double protection, the security of the book is much more secure. ”
Thinking about it a little bit, Jiang Bingwen's brows gradually opened, and the problem that he had been thinking about for a whole day was solved by Luo Qingluan so quickly. He patted his head and said, "Hey, the old man is also stupid, just thinking about the membership system, but forgetting the original rules." ”
The matter was settled, and Luo Qingluan also planned to leave, so as not to delay Jiang Bingwen's affairs.
Just as he was thinking about leaving, a young man with a lofty posture came to him, and everyone immediately got out of the way when they saw it: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is down, His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Luo Qingluan didn't expect to run into Xiao Yuqi again so soon.
Xiao Yuqi nodded, smiling, although he did not respond to everyone one by one, there was no arrogance. He went directly into the lobby, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Luo Qingluan standing in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but light up: "Well, Miss Luo is also here?" By the way, is the housesister here too? ”
Knowing that Xiao Yuqi was worried about Xiao Ningyu, Luo Qingluan said casually: "The princess was a little tired from talking with me last night, and she was still sleeping when I went out." If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not at ease, he can send someone to take the princess back. ”
She deliberately retreated as advance, knowing that Xiao Yuqi would not be like this.
Sure enough, Xiao Yuqi smiled: "It's okay, since she is tired, let her sleep well, Miss Luo can give her sister some reason, which is also beneficial to her." ”
"By the way, I just heard what kind of membership card the teacher made, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Luo by chance."
When Xiao Yuqi heard Jiang Bingwen say that it was Luo Qingluan who said it, Xiao Yuqi looked surprised and surprised: "No wonder, Miss Luo is really smart and talented!" I deeply admire it. ”
He didn't even claim to be in the palace anymore, obviously he had changed his understanding of Luo Qingluan again.
Listening to Luo Qingluan's modesty, Xiao Yuqi said meaningfully: "Since Miss Luo's casual words can bring the teacher's business back to life, then I believe that if Miss Luo thinks about it carefully, she can usually make the business of the study three or five times better, right?" ”
