Chapter 41 The Dragon Flies and the Phoenix Dances
Soon I got 3,000 yuan from Li Yun and happily ran to buy materials. Li Yun has to go with me, in her opinion, in fact, any material is none of her business, she just likes the feeling of sticking to people, this feeling you can also call it a sense of security, as I secretly imagined in my heart, Li Yun in love needs to stick to me all day to have a sense of security.
The old carpenter was right, for he had already told me the approximate price of the materials, and had saved us the fear of being slashed by the timber and painters.
After counting all the materials, he hired a tricycle worker to transport them directly to the school, and the old carpenter took one of his apprentices to work. They chose the location between the cafeteria and the dormitory building (which is also the location I approved), which was actually under a large pine tree, and began construction.
As for me, I found a scrap wooden board, pasted white paper on the board, and wrote a few large characters: Wenxin Book House, about to be unveiled, so stay tuned. Of course, this calligraphy is also from Gu Xin's hand, and the writing is really majestic and earth-shattering. After I finished writing, I felt that it was just words, there was no decorative pattern, and it was a little dull, so I asked Chen Qili to draw some flowers and plants on the side of the text, and the brighter the color, the better.
Chen Qili's biggest characteristic is that he is silent, which is completely consistent with my memory of him, it is said that he was in college for four years, and he can count the days when he could hear him say more than ten words in one day. For many times, many classmates did not even feel his presence. However, although he is not good at verbal expression, he is naturally good at expressing it in the language of pictures. After I finished my request and promised to issue the first batch of VIP cards to these two, Chen Qili, who cherished words like gold, said: Draw a dragon, better?
Gu Xin asked, why draw a dragon, we are not called the True Dragon Tianzi Library.
Chen Qili said four more words: "Wenxin, carving dragon." ”
I nodded solemnly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, you have a relationship with me, don't say anything, let's draw!"
Chen Qili really used yellow and red paint to draw a flying dragon with a standard posture next to Gu's big characters, which looked not much different from the dragon on the Nine Dragons Wall. The head of the flying dragon is just above the character "Wen", and the tail is surrounded by the last line of characters, and some cyan clouds are drawn in the gap between the dragon and the character. I was thinking, if I open an advertising agency in a few years, Chen Qili will be the first designer to recruit, although he is not good at communicating with people, but his paintings are no worse than those young artists in the China Academy of Art.
In this way, the first outdoor billboard in the history of Hangzhou University was completed, although it is not as high-resolution as the later generations, but the beautiful big characters and flying dragons are already very eye-catching. I placed the billboard at the old carpenter's construction site, which had a good communication effect, and a day later, almost all the students in the northern half of Hangzhou University knew that there was a Wenxin bookstore that was about to open. Two days later, even the teachers who took the Marxist-Leninist class knew that the students of our department had set up a Wenxin bookstore. Of course, Lao Hu also knew about this, but since there was the approval of the "Shang Fang Sword" of the Youth League Committee of the school and the protection of the property rights of the community center, Lao Hu also politely expressed to me that he wished the bookstore better and better.
Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the newsstand has been slim between the canteen and the dormitory, and I found a sign that the paint has not dried, and it will be officially opened after three days. Then I went to Jin Puguang and Cai Xiaohong to discuss the specific schedule and salary.
As for the supply of goods, my procurement plan has been basically completed, and the only painful part is that there is no warehouse for the expired books and low-quality stationery that I bought at ultra-low prices. So I had to ask Chen Yifan to help again and borrow the office of the community center. In fact, the community center has long been a dilapidated house, not suitable for an office, but more suitable for a warehouse.
The issue of manpower remains a top priority. Since Jin Puguang and I are in the same class, of course, the class time is exactly the same, so we can use the three time periods of 6 to 8 in the morning, 11 to 2 in the afternoon, and 6 to 10 in the evening. Combined, these three time slots add up to nine hours, which is exactly the time when students have free time to buy books and other miscellaneous items, and the three of us have to take turns on the job.
I, Puguang and Xiaohong sat solemnly in the office in the center of the club, looking at the pile of books and miscellaneous items for a while, and then the meeting officially began.
I first talked about the business strategy for three time periods, in the morning, you can also sell pastries and soy milk, which requires Xiaohong to go to the original stall wholesale point, and then the newspaper of the day, and the people from this newspaper will send it. Then there is the noon section, the main business direction is tissues, magazines and drinks, I believe that many students will order drinks after meals, read magazines for a while, but the operation of cigarettes is a bit difficult, and there is a commissary downstairs in the canteen, where cigarettes are sold. At the same time, the cafeteria also sells snacks and drinks, but I found that the store didn't even have a chewing gum, so I thought we could "fine-tune the business". Finally, there is the prime time of the evening, which is the best time of the day, in addition to selling books and magazines, you can sell some of the girl's favorite knick-knacks, such as hairpins, table decorations and greeting cards, and of course ask Xiaohong to help her pick up some from the grocery store where she used to work. Finally, there is another key business item, that is, all kinds of tapes, including foreign pop music tapes, and even I will batch some "smuggled and imported soundtracks" from Six Parks to sell. Also, please note that we can rip some tapes of popular songs for sale, and there is basically no copyright awareness these days anyway.
Of course, the two of them don't know much about the word copyright, so I just brushed it over, in short, it is one word: miscellaneous.
I told the two of them, to be honest, our bookstore is a hodgepodge, we sell whatever makes money, we have to be popular, we want to be fresh and hot but the price is cheap, of course, books are still the core of our business, but we sell comic books that Xinhua Bookstore doesn't sell, and we also sell vulgar books that are rarely sold in Xinhua Bookstore. After a while, I will go to Yiwu and Wenzhou to buy a batch of low-level and interesting books. Of course, we can't sell adult books, but if you two want to read them, I can bring you two copies to read secretly, because everyone is an adult anyway.
I said this again Cai Xiaohong's face was red, she often blushes, so I'm used to it, she blushes to her blush, and I am inferior to my inferior low.
"Finally, we can talk about the remuneration." I said, "The three of us need to get the time shift right, and if you have any suggestions, you can mention them casually." ”
Jin Puguang said that you are the boss and you invested, so you can arrange it, he Puguang is a brick of the revolution, and he can move it however you want.
I said you are wrong again, the biggest investor is Li Yun, and she is our chairman.
As soon as I said this, I noticed that the expressions of the two were a little weird, and it took a while for Jin Puguang to say haha: "Isn't hers yours, it's the same." ”
Xiaohong didn't blush this time, but was a little pale. After a while, she said, "Then I'll choose the morning shift, I often have to get up early, I'm used to it." ”
Puguang said that he chose the noon shift, how to solve the problem of just eating? I said that I could deliver the food to the pavilion, and Li Yun would deliver it when I was not free. Jin Puguang was a little embarrassed, and waved his hand again and again and said forget it, I'll just go get a box of instant noodles.
I said you have it, you're so thin and you still eat instant noodles, you're like noodles yourself.
Jin Puguang smiled, and there was a sudden feeling of relief and happiness in his smile.
I said okay, I'll be on duty that night.
Cai Honghong immediately said, the two of us can take turns on duty at night, you have to be busy with the daily settlement, and you have to manage the purchase, there are a lot of things.
I said okay, let's help out together in the evening, there are more people at night, and business will be busier. If I don't have time, I'll call Li Yun to help.
As soon as the words landed, I found that the two guys looked weird again, especially Xiaohong, who looked very uncomfortable. I'm thinking, why do these two guys put on such a weird expression together just by mentioning Li Yun?
Did they have a holiday with Li Yun? Or, do you have some thoughts on my special relationship with Li Yun?
