I open a bookstore in the human world

Guided by the Xingzhou Municipal Government and undertaken by the Shadow Bookstore, the mobile library project is in full swing. As a result, the Shadow Bookstore has established a good relationship with the government. Leaving aside other interests, at least it is easy in terms of bank loans. Not a lot.

While the two parties were still in the honeymoon period, Song Lan immediately applied for a loan from the bank and wanted to take this opportunity to open another branch.

The difference is that this time he plans to open a branch in the neighboring city of Bishan.

In the past, Bishan City was just a third-tier city like Xingzhou City. The difference is that Bishan City has a tradition of learning martial arts, and there is also a famous temple, Bishan Temple. Although the city is small in scale, it is well-known.But for a long time, this popularity only existed among those who practice martial arts. For ordinary people, there is really nothing special about Bishan City except that they can go to Bishan Temple to burn incense and pray for Buddha.

But since a Jianghu martial arts school was born in Bishan City a few years ago, things soon changed.This peculiar martial arts school quickly became popular across the country, not only sparking a wave of upsurge in learning traditional martial arts, but even driving the development of tourism in the entire Bishan City by its own power.Now, many tourists will put the Jianghu Martial Arts School in Bishan City on the list of must-sees when they visit Nanhai Province, and they will provide one-stop service for punching in and taking pictures.It is said that if you are lucky, you may also have the opportunity to meet the online celebrity coaches inside and take a photo with them.

Considering the popularity of Bishan City and the not-too-high housing prices, Song Lan decided to open the second branch of Shadow Bookstore here.

The first is to choose a location. Since he borrowed a lot of money from the bank this time, Song Lan generously rented a large shop in the most prosperous area of ​​Bishan City, next to a food street, whether it is a local citizen or a tourist. Tourists like to come to this food street for food.

The next step is to decide the decoration theme of the branch. It would be too unrealistic to build another glass greenhouse in this kind of place, and Song Lan is unwilling to make it too uncharacteristic. Decided to open a bookstore in the style of an ancient bookshop.

The form of "Book Store" first appeared in the Han Dynasty, and its prototype was an open-air book trading place that rose around Taixue, a bit like the "bazaar" that people called later.This kind of open-air trading place developed and later became a bookstore with a fixed location, that is, a bookstore. At the same time, the early bookshops were also manual workshops for engraving books in addition to selling books.

Of course, with the development of printing and the advancement of industrialization, the process of book production, dissemination and circulation has long been refined, and most bookstores gradually no longer undertake the function of engraving books, but are only places for selling books.

It would not be surprising if the bookstore is just decorated to look like an ancient bookstore. Because of the fame of Jianghu martial arts schools and traditional martial arts, many shops in Bishan City are decorated in an antique and antique style. There are also several similar bookstores. , if you want to stand out from the crowd, it's not just about decorating well.

But who is Song Lan?He is a male ghost who wants to be a high-ranking civil servant in the government!Faced with this situation, he naturally has his own way——

He decided to restore the style of ancient bookstores, not only to sell books, but also to set up a book workshop related to book making.

At present, there are many handicraft workshops and pottery workshops in China. In addition to selling handicraft ceramic utensils, they also sell short-term hand-made courses. The fees are expensive, but many people are willing to spend this money to learn and do it by themselves. Make a cup or something that belongs only to you.

It was a good start to set up the moss micro-landscape course in Huafang Bookstore before. The success of the course gave Song Lan a taste of the sweetness, and found that handmade DIY is also a relatively popular business at present.

It is said that measures should be taken according to local conditions, and the Huafang Bookstore sets up courses related to plants. Then, in this antique bookstore, it is naturally related to the production of ancient books.After carefully considering the feasibility, Song Lan decided to open up various courses related to book printing in the store as a selling point to attract customers.

There are many kinds of courses that can be offered, such as seal cutting, paper making, mounting and printing are all within the scope of choice.

So what kind of classes are offered and what teachers are invited?Song Lan immediately thought of Zuiyue.

If ghosts also have ages, among all the ghosts in the shadow bookstore, Zuiyue is not young.She was born in the Republic of China. According to her, she came from a scholarly family. Not to mention good handwriting, she also has a lot of research on seal cutting and mounting.

Calligraphy class is too ordinary, there are too many competitors, and the results are not as easy as the moss micro-landscape class. In the last one or two classes, the finished product was temporarily passed by Song Lan-but this kind of DIY class usually has a short class time. It’s just a fresh idea. If you really want to study for a long time, most people are more willing to find professional training institutions.

Frame mounting is special, but I'm afraid there won't be any market demand-what's the point of learning this?There is nothing to frame them.

Then there is only one option left, which is seal cutting.Song Lan asked Zuiyue for her opinion, she did not object and said she was competent.

Then there is the issue of personnel.Since there are three bookstores to be managed at the same time, the original manpower is definitely not enough, so Song Lan decided to recruit a group of shop assistants.I thought it would be easy to handle this matter, but I didn't expect to encounter a problem here——

Shadow Bookstore is a bookstore that became famous on the Internet because "the store is full of good-looking brothers and sisters". In order to avoid self-defeating signs, Song Lan's recruitment conditions are quite special: the requirement is to be good-looking.The so-called "good-looking" means that good facial features are far from enough. You don't want to look as monstrous as Xie Daonian, but at least standing next to other shop assistants will not form a sharp contrast, right?

The conditions are very strict. The average person needs to have a good-looking face, which is usually the result of being admired by the stars. If there are other better choices, such as being an anchor or something, and being able to rely on his face to make a living, how could he? Would you like to be a low-status and hard-working clerk?

Of course, correspondingly, Song Lankai's salary is not low, which is twice as high as that of similar bookstore clerks.At the same time, the employee benefits are also very good, and the working environment is also very good.

There were quite a few people who submitted their resumes, but there were not many who met Song Lan's conditions. The job advertisements had been posted on major recruitment websites for a month, and only two people remained after the assessment.

Song Lan was a little worried: Seeing that the Bishan branch of the shadow bookstore is about to open, what should I do if the staff haven't been recruited yet?The two bookstores in Xingzhou City are currently short of manpower, and I am afraid it will be difficult to spare manpower to work here.

It was Xie Daonian who reminded Song Lan: "If you can't find a full-time job, why not find a part-time job?"

part time?Song Lan's eyes lit up: Yes, why didn't he think of this?There are many universities in Bishan City. If some college students are willing to work part-time, isn't it a good solution?

Besides, college students nowadays know how to dress up, and they are young. There are a lot of good-looking people on the university campus, and there is no need to worry about finding someone who meets his requirements.

Sure enough, after Song Lan distributed the advertisements for part-time clerks to the recruitment groups of various colleges and universities in Bishan City, he received a lot of resumes in his mailbox within a few days.Because of the special nature of this recruitment, he also specifically asked to attach two photos of his life with the letter.All kinds of colorful photos are dazzling. Those who didn't know thought he was recruiting models.

While performing preliminary screening, Song Lan expressed doubts: "It's strange, why are most of the applicants are girls?"

Qin Shi happened to pass behind Song Lan, his eyes lit up and he was emotional: "Brother Song, you said that all the applicants are girls?"

"Yeah, about [-]% of them are girls," Song Lan replied casually, "I think they all look good-looking."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and turned his head to stare at Qin Shi vigilantly: "What do you want?"

With a flattering smile on Qin Shi's face, he rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Song, let's discuss something with you..."

"No." Song Lan didn't want to refuse directly.

——Joke, after being together for such a long time, still doesn't he know what this pervert is thinking?This guy is probably trying to get me to agree to work at the branch in Bishan City, right?

Qin Shi was so frustrated: "Then why can Zuiyue go?" They are also Song Lan's ghosts, so why should they be treated differently?That's unfair!

Song Lan poured cold water on him mercilessly: "Zuiyue is the store manager I sent to Bishan City to be resident, of course she has to go to the town in person."

Because Zuiyue was decided to be the teacher of the manual class, Song Lan simply asked her to stay in Bishan City and take charge of the branch in Bishan City.

Qin Shi: "Actually, I can also go to Bishan City as a resident. I'm a man with great strength and can do a lot of chores." As he spoke, he also gestured like a bodybuilder.

If it weren't for Qin Shi's eyes that were a little too explicit, and her smile that was a little too lewd, Song Lan would really have been moved.

But Song Lan shook her head resolutely: "No." Let this pervert stay with a group of beautiful shop assistants?Forgive him, I really can't let go...

"Why don't Brother Song let him go." Neither Song Lan nor Qin Shi expected that it would be Zui Yue, who had always been at odds with him, speaking for Qin Shi.

Song Lan couldn't figure out why Zuiyue wanted to speak for the pervert, didn't she hate him?After a second of astonishment, Song Lan quickly returned to normal expression: "Reason?" Without giving a reasonable reason, even if Zuiyue asked, he would not agree.

Zuiyue didn't even look at Qin Shi's grateful expression, and calmly said: "First, most of the applicants this time are female shop assistants, and most of them will stay when the time comes, men are indeed needed to do some hard work. "

Qin Shi couldn't help touching her nose: uh, so Zuiyue just sees herself as a coolie?It sounds a little heartless...

"What about the second?" Song Lan asked calmly.

"Secondly, this guy—" Zuiyue glanced at Qin Shi with disgust, and there was no disdain in his eyes, "Although this guy is annoying sometimes, I have to admit that his mouth is quite sweet and can be coaxed." Girls are happy—of course I mean ordinary human girls. With him around, the working atmosphere should be more harmonious."

Qin Shi: "..." How should I put it, although Zuiyue is complimenting him, why does it sound so unpleasant.

Song Lan was deep in thought, while Qin Se stared at him intently.

"Okay," Song Lan finally spoke, nodding her head slightly, "What you said is not unreasonable. If that's the case, then agree with Qin Shi's expression."

"Huh——" Qin Shi let out a long breath, and his mood became extremely good again—it's great, I can see so many fragrant and soft beautiful ladies again, just thinking about it makes people feel excited .

Song Lan silently turned to Zuiyue: "Do you really think that the benefits of your proposal outweigh the disadvantages?"

"..." Zuiyue looked at Qin Shi with disgust, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence, "Brother Song, is it too late for me to take back what I said?"
