Objectively speaking, Wenxin Bookstore did create my entrepreneurial path as a first-year freshman and became my first pot of gold. When my classmates still had a sense of sacred mission to carry the Tao with the pride of the Son of Heaven, I had already fallen into a complete petty citizen complex.

Of course, I am not the Grande among the small citizens, and the salary I offer for Puguang and Xiaohong is 300 yuan per person per month, which is equivalent to twice the total income of Cai Xiaohong's part-time job and tutor in the past, and for Comrade Puguang, he is more concerned about being able to read countless books and magazines for free, because most of the books we sell are disdainful of collection by the library.

After Cai Xiaohong heard this salary condition, she looked at me in an infinitely worried way and said, "Zhou Xu, you don't have to give me so much money, so I will be embarrassed, you will lose." ”

Jin Puguang also said worriedly: "If you lose, we won't be able to get a salary." ”

I said it is impossible to lose, I have that confidence, we will continue to develop in the future, we can even become a chain store, so give me a little confidence, and give yourself a little confidence.

Cai Xiaohong smiled and said, "Well, I have confidence when you say that." ”

Jin Puguang asked, "What is a chain store?"

I said that I can't tell for a while, in short, it's similar to the structure of the main store, the semicolon.

The meeting ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and after the meeting we began to sort out the pile of books and miscellaneous items, and sorted them into categories, and I gave each person a small booklet for bookkeeping, and said that I would have an account every month.

On a sunny Monday in April, the bookstore officially opened, with no firecrackers, no lion dances, no ribbon cuttings, no congratulatory flowers, but I used a more shocking way to celebrate the opening, which can also be said to be an advertisement. That is, a twelve-meter-long banner was hung at the entrance of the canteen, and the banner read, Wenxin Bookstore opened Zhixi, and all books and periodicals were folded in half within three days. It's as simple as that, the words were all cut with scissors and glued to the banner strips, and the huge red strip of cloth was what I found from the warehouse in the club center, presumably leftover from previous meetings.

Cai Xiaohong and Jin Puguang cut out all the words, and they squatted in the office of the club center the night before the opening, first using a brush to write word by word on the big paper with pale yellow paint, and then cut out word by word, while I was sitting and talking with Li Yun on the beautiful West Lake.

When I came back from a three-hour walk by the West Lake, I saw their achievements, and saw that they had moved out the two lathes in the office, wiped them clean and brought them to tomorrow's books, and I was excited, so I warmly hugged the two of them. When I hugged Puguang, I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, really my good brother." When she hugged Xiaohong, she shrank her head and wanted to dodge, but she didn't succeed, and I was still hugged by me solidly, and then I also patted her on the shoulder and said, good brothers, you are all my good brothers!

Cai Xiaohong whispered very aggrievedly, I am not your brother.

Then I thought of an important question and said to myself, "Wow, how did I forget to put up a poster!"

As a result, poor Puguang and Xiaohong continued to be dragged by me to write posters overnight, and finally at twelve o'clock did they have the cheekiness to ask the dormitory administrator to open the door, the reason is of course very grandiose, and it was because the Youth League Committee arranged for us to do important work.

As soon as it opened the next day, it was really a sensation, due to the pre-advertising in place, most of the students had a preliminary brand impression of Wenxin Newsstand, popularity and freshness, and sold all the newspapers early in the morning, all the breakfast and some tutorial books, although the books and periodicals were half price, but the price I received was also very low, so I was basically able to maintain a break-even.

The night of the first day of opening is the key, and whether it can get off to a good start depends on the performance of the evening. We pulled a small tricycle from the center of the community, dragged the two marching beds to the newsstand, and covered them all with all kinds of books, including special and new books, ranging from high-class books such as Akhmatova's poetry collection to low-level books such as "Falling in Love with a Man Who Won't Go Home". In addition, there is a special sale of girls' products in the pavilion. I got two high-powered light bulbs from the club center, and then pulled wires from the cafeteria to illuminate the two-bed bookstall under the tree.

In retrospect, it seems that all the tools were taken from the community center, and the annual management fee is really "worth the money".

The cool breeze of the spring night was blowing, and the students under the trees gathered more and more, and Jin Puguang shouted at the top of his voice: "The best and most books, the opening special price is profitable, and the opportunity cannot be lost again, all folded in half, only three days!"

Of course, this kind of vulgar word is the only one I can think of. I was a shopping guide next to the bookstall and accepted all kinds of pre-sales consultations, of course, we had no after-sales service, only pre-sales service. And Cai Xiaohong is busy collecting money and looking for money, and she also has to help girls choose gadgets such as hairpins.

Li Yun really hates people who do business and business itself, and she didn't come to see us on the first day of opening, saying that she went to self-study. Bao Lina came over, chose two books, didn't say hello to me, paid silently, just smiled at Cai Xiaohong, Xiaohong hurriedly beckoned to me and called me over.

I walked over and said, "Lina, don't pay, I'm glad you came on the first day of opening, and I'll give you these two books." ”

Bao Lina glared at me and said, "It's only natural to pay for books, if all the girls you know can get books for free, I'm afraid your bookstore will close down tomorrow." ”

After saying that, she stuffed the money to Xiaohong, turned around and left.

Du Qing and Chen Yifan also came to buy books, Du Qing bought eight books in one go, all of which are classic books at special prices, which should be regarded as very discerning, and I personally think that those books are the most valuable among the books I entered this time, and they are really the same as the heroes. Chen Yifan chose three martial arts novels, but they also have a unique discerning taste. The two men were equally unceremoniously paid.

After nine o'clock, the students in our class came to a group to buy, among which Liu Lili bought five books. It can be seen that the relationship between Liu Lili and Shen seems to be deteriorating again, although they came to buy books together, Liu Lili never said a word to Hong Tao, but these have nothing to do with me anyway.

The business hours of the first day did not end until half past ten, and before the lights went out, we hurriedly calculated that it reached an astonishing 520 yuan!

From a profit point of view, we made about 200 yuan on the first day!
