Chapter 243: Abandoned by the Times
A new week, a new day begins.
It is also the launch date of the latest issue of the magazine "Whole Foods".
Early in the morning, the magazines were transported by a postal vehicle to a newsstand next to a bus.
It says it's a newsstand, but it's actually a grocery store.
Filled with toys, snacks, cigarettes and daily necessities, newspapers and magazines that were once in the middle have been squeezed to the margins, dwindling in number and variety.
Local morning and evening newspapers are the mainstay.
That's right!
Paper reading, which was once prevalent, has been abandoned by the times.
The book business can't go any further.
You can't make a living by buying newspapers and periodicals alone!
The boss, who is still in business, has to find other ways to make ends meet, and sells toys and snacks instead.
If it weren't for the postal regulations, if you rent a newsstand, you have to sell books and periodicals with a postal code, and he doesn't want to sell a magazine, not even a newspaper.
It's better to sell water than to sell newspapers!
Even if the magazine is slightly more profitable, there are few people who can ask about it, and even fewer people buy it, which means that there is no income.
Therefore, he targeted the residents of the nearby community, and switched to selling toys and snacks.
Business!
It's just so-so.
In the past, when the newsstand was selling well, it could be used to feed the whole family, but now it can barely sustain one person except for the rent.
And the reason why he still sticks to this is not because the rent of the newsstand is cheap, a few hundred yuan a month, which is much cheaper than the rent of the store.

"Boss, I put your magazine here." The postal guy placed magazines, newspapers, and other books on the small partition that he had extended.
"Hey, okay."
The newsstand owner nodded helplessly.
Since it's all delivered, you can only sell it hard!
Although in the end, I couldn't sell a few copies.
When he saw several girls in a hurry passing by, he hurriedly picked up a copy of "Eating Whole Food Beauty", sold it to them, and shouted.
"Don't miss it when you pass by, the new issue of "Whole Foods Beauty" has arrived."
These days, who still reads paper magazines!
A few girls passing by were actually not interested in food magazines like "Whole Foods".
If you want to read it, you can also read fashion magazines.
For example, the five major ones are used to improve the style of their outfits.
It's just that after a glimpse of them......
But I was immediately attracted by the cover picture of the magazine.
"Huh? Isn't this Huang Boss? How did he get on the cover of Whole Foods magazine? ”
"Boss Huang? Which Boss Huang? You're not talking about Boss Huang of a really delicious restaurant, right? I'll see, I'll see! ”
"Ha~ It's really him! In other words, Boss Huang is really photogenic! The cover photo of this magazine is very handsome, no less than those male stars! ”
"The last time I went to eat at a really delicious restaurant, I saw Lin Manli, the editor-in-chief of "Whole Foods Beauty" magazine, in the store, and I heard that it was filming the next issue of the magazine, but I didn't expect it to be released so soon."
"Wow, the presentation of this Dongpo meat is even better than the one sold in the store! Just looking at the picture aroused my cravings again. ”
"Yes, just looking at these dishes, I feel like I've just eaten a full stomach, and I'm hungry again~"
"Inhale wildly, inhale and eat! I'm going to buy this book and go back to collect it, and when I can't eat the food made by Boss Huang in the future, I can eat takeout and read magazine pictures while eating. ”
"Is this okay? Then I'll buy a copy too! Boss, I want this. ”
"Boss, get me a copy too."
"I want two copies, one at home and one in the unit."
"Then I'll have two ...... too"
It's almost with a robbery.
The newsstand, as before, only prepared about 20 copies of "Eat Whole Food Beauty", and in less than a minute, ten copies were sold.
In the past, only 3 or 4 copies were sold in one issue!
The owner of the newsstand, while slightly surprised, couldn't help but have a big question mark in his mind.
Why is this "Whole Foods Beauty" magazine suddenly so popular?
And this Boss Huang, it's really a delicious restaurant, why does it sound so familiar?
When his eyes fell on the cover of the magazine "Whole Food Beauty", when he looked at Huang Tao's face, he felt familiar.
But I can't remember for a while, where have I seen it, I have heard of it.
Combined with the words of these girls, he determined that the reason why these girls bought this issue of "Whole Foods Beauty" magazine was because of the handsome guy on the cover of the magazine and the food in his store.
After the girls scanned the code to pay, they kindly reminded: "Boss, you only have these few copies of "Whole Foods" left, and they are definitely not enough to buy, so you might as well prepare more magazines for this issue and make more money?" ”
Why are you so sure that you can't sell enough?
It's they who know the popularity of the restaurant.
This issue of "Whole Foods Beauty" magazine will definitely be robbed by the loyal fans of really good restaurants.
The newspaper owner was stunned when he heard it, but the girl in front of him looked sincere, not like a joke.
This shows that this issue of the magazine is more popular than ever.
But he was more of a half-believer.
If you don't sell out of this issue, you'll have to go back to it, which won't be good.
Although only a dozen copies were sold at once.
But what is really delicious just because of this, can it really have such a big influence?
After all, few people read paper newspapers and periodicals now, and even the gold-lettered signboard of "Eat Whole Foods" can't bring offline sales of paper newspapers and periodicals.
He hesitated like this, and just when a phone call came, he put the matter behind him.
At 8 o'clock, his newsstand came one after another, and then it didn't stop.
The first thing they said was to ask: "Do you have this issue of "Whole Food Beauty" for sale?" ”
"Yes!"
He just nodded and pointed, but he didn't need to take it, one by one, he directly picked up the magazine "Whole Food Beauty" on the extended small partition, and scanned the code to pay.
In just a few minutes, they were all sold out.
There were also people who kept coming to ask, and when they heard that they were sold out, they said with a disgusted face: "Hey, young boss, is your issue of "Whole Food Beauty" selling so much?" I heard that you have a sale here, and you came here on purpose, and it seems that my trip was in vain. ”
"Yes, yes, I've already run a lot of newsstands, and they all say they're sold out, why don't you newspaper bosses stock up on more?"
"Boss, this issue is really delicious Boss Huang is on the magazine "Whole Foods", you can rest assured to prepare more magazines of this issue, and keep the next business is very good."
The slightly wrinkled face of the newsstand owner was still in shock and trance at the moment.
Why did today's 20 "Whole Foods Beauty" magazines become "dots"?
In the past, I couldn't sell this amount in half a year!
At last.
At the enthusiastic suggestion of a customer, I quickly called the post office and asked them to help deliver some of this issue of "Whole Foods Beauty".
After the postal brother arrived, many people came to buy this issue of "Whole Food Beauty" magazine, and the 100 magazines that had just been delivered were sold out in less than 10 minutes.
Is it because he doesn't want to stock up on this issue of Whole Foods magazine?
No!
It's that there is no stock at the post office, and it's still being reprinted overtime!
He decided to ask for another 500 copies.
Because many people learned that they were sold out and still in printing, they paid in advance and asked him to help reserve a copy.
He was busy registering in a small notebook.
I haven't stopped for a moment, and my hands are almost sour.
This will sit directly on the small stool of the stall, leaning against the goods behind it, smiling happily.
The sales volume of this issue is even better than the sales volume at the peak at that time!
He seemed to see the scene of those years when paper newspapers and magazines were popular.
At that time, many newspaper halls were distributed near schools and bus stop kiosks, and every once in a while, there were new comics or serials, and all kinds of magazines came out, and students bought them one after another, bringing a little color to the boring study life.
And the elderly go out for a walk in the morning, buy a newspaper at the newsstand, read the newspaper, and the events of the previous day are stored in their minds......
