I open a bookstore in the human world

"Our boss said that our goal of 'Shadow' is not only to open a profitable bookstore, but also to open a small quiet world for all book lovers." Suddenly another rough voice sounded behind them, Lu Min and Zhou Xin turned around curiously, and saw a tall man who was probably 1.9 meters tall.

Seeing him, a line of lyrics suddenly popped up in Lu Min's mind: "The man who sets the horse, you are mighty and majestic..."

The burly man was also wearing an apron of the same style as Linse's, and he was obviously also a staff member of this bookstore. "Hello, I'm Mao Shi, the clerk. You can just call me Da Mao." Mao Shi saw both of them looking at him in surprise, and grinned, revealing two rows of white and neat teeth.

"Uh, hello..." Lu Min was a little surprised to see such a clerk with a physique like an athlete in the bookstore. He always felt that his temperament did not match this bookstore.

Zhou Xin understood a little bit: "You mean, your boss wants to open a bookstore like 'Late Night Canteen'?"

"Almost the same meaning, right?" Mao Shi scratched his head, "However, the canteen is closed late at night and during the day, and our bookstore is open 24 hours a day."

Lynser added: "Our boss said this would solve the annoyance of some people not being able to read to their heart's content at night."

Lu Min was touched in her heart, and murmured: "Your boss is really a very caring person." She suddenly wanted to meet this boss, thinking he must be a middle-aged man with a story...

Lin Se and Mao Shi looked at each other——

Mao Shi winked: Brother Dei, this copywriting is really good, and it has touched several batches of customers in a row.

Lin Se raised her eyebrows: Brother Song's idea could be wrong?

Regarding the fact that the shadow bookstore is not closed, it is actually not as sensational as Mao Shi and Lin Se said, and Song Lan is not the middle-aged youth with feelings and stories in Lu Min's imagination. He is just a businessman who knows how to figure out. Businessman with customer psychology.

The concept of "non-closing bookstores" existed long before Song Lan became a ghost. When he was studying abroad, he had seen many 24-hour bookstores. Yes, a very good business concept.

However, 24-hour business sounds like a fantasy and petty bourgeoisie, but it has to face a reality in order to actually implement it: most people in China have not developed the habit of staying in bookstores all night, and most working party students The party has to go to work and study during the day, and it is impossible to stay up late at night to read books. As for those night owls who are nocturnal, they are more used to going to places like bars and nightclubs. Not necessarily stepping in.

The people who really develop the habit of going to bookstores that don’t close are almost ideal customers. Most of the people who go to the bookstore late at night are either curious shoppers or casual travelers passing by. Most of them only show up once. Twice, the rivers and lakes disappeared.And among these people, even less is actually consumed.

Therefore, "bookstores that don't close" sounds good, but it is not easy to maintain this concept for a long time.The reality is skinny after all. In addition to the electricity bill, the salary of the on-duty staff is also a considerable expense.

However, this is only for other bookstores. As for the shadow bookstore, there is no such trouble.The reason is simple: Song Lan doesn't need to pay employees' salaries.

All the employees of Shadow Bookstore are his subordinates, ghosts, ghosts don't need to sleep and eat, so they are the perfect candidates.

Why not earn a good name by spending a few electricity bills?

Of course, if you think so, you can't say that to the outside world.Song Lan wrote a copy in advance and sent it to everyone, carefully explaining; "If someone asks about the source of the concept of the 24-hour bookstore, you should follow the copy."

Because of the well-written copywriting of "Non-Closing Bookstore", the Shadow Bookstore later attracted a group of loyal customers who came to the store late at night to work or read books. This scene was photographed and posted on the Internet, causing a round of heated discussions Forwarding has also increased a lot of popularity.

These are all things to talk about later, not for the time being.

Although they just came here with the intention of "shopping around" at the beginning, in the end Lu Min and Zhou Xin went to the counter with a shopping basket full of books and small stationery to check out, and also each applied for a membership card.

"Thank you for your patronage, and welcome to come next time." Linse enthusiastically sent the dazed two to the door, waving his hands and saying goodbye.

"The environment of this bookstore is good, and I can come here often." Lu Min concluded, "The decoration and furnishings in the store are very comfortable. It’s a bit like a pile of various objects, and the style doesn’t match, it’s really uncomfortable to watch.”

"I'm more interested in his concept of 'no closing time'," Zhou Xin said, "but I just don't know how long it can last."

Lu Min shrugged: "Who knows? But if Arthur is here all the time, I will support him even if I don't sleep!"

Zhou Xin looked at his friend speechlessly: "Hey, hey, your saliva is about to flow out!"

"How?" Lu Min retorted embarrassingly, "Aren't you still talking about me, aren't you also very interested in that 'little milk dog'? Didn't you also say that you will come over next Monday night?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Xin blushed, twisted his fingers coyly, and asked Lu Min mysteriously: "Xiao Min, how long do you think I should stay on Monday night? If I don't go back all night, will he think I'm a bit strange?" ?”

"You should think about it from another angle. There are only the two of you in the store late at night, a lonely man and a widow. It's the most suitable for some stories to happen." Lu Min smirked.

Zhou Xin's eyes lit up: "That's right, Xiao Min, why are you so smart!"

"Isn't it?" Lu Min was stunned, "You really plan to stay in the store all night and not sleep? Be sober, you have to go to work the next day!"

"It doesn't matter," Zhou Xin held his face in his hands, his face was full of turmoil, "Isn't it just staying up all night? It's worth spending a night with the handsome guy!"

Lu Min: "...just as long as you are happy."

***

After returning home, Lu Min and Zhou Xin respectively posted on Moments: nine carefully selected photos, showing the overall appearance of the Shadow Bookstore, as well as partial details.

The difference from the past is that this time Lu Min deliberately added a photo of the clerk, and placed it in the middle of the Jiugong grid.

The man in the photo is drinking water with his head up. The sun just hits the glass in the man's hand, and the reflection of the glass and water emits brilliant light.The man's original facial features were very three-dimensional and sharp-edged, but under the blessing of the sunlight filter, they seemed to be softened a lot. The whole person seemed to be coated with a layer of gold, which looked so sacred that people dare not profane it. He just ignored the tan apron hanging on the man's chest that didn't quite match his temperament.

Less than a minute after this circle of friends was sent out, someone replied immediately——

[Where is this handsome guy [color] I want to know all about him within 1 minute! ! ! 】

【Your boyfriend? [Question] Xiaomin, are you lucky? 】

【Ah, ah, Lu Min, didn't you go shopping in a bookstore?There is such a handsome man in the bookstore? !This unscientific! 】

Through the words, Lu Min could feel a deep sense of envy and jealousy, and Lu Min's vanity was greatly satisfied.

There was even a moment when Lu Min thought he would not tell the truth at all, it would be good to make others misunderstand that he had such a handsome boyfriend.

Of course, Lu Min is a kind person, and he immediately felt relieved when he thought that her publicity might increase the popularity of the handsome guy and his shop.There were so many messages that Lu Min didn't have time to reply one by one, so she simply replied under the circle of friends——

[Unified reply: The man in the photo is not me, but a clerk from a store called "Shadow Bookstore" in the old street. You can see it when you go to Shadow Bookstore [Proud] By the way, their employees are so handsome , really, who knows [bad smile]]
