I open a bookstore in the human world

"Honey, the teacher in the experience class gave us feedback on Nannan's performance in class. He said that Nannan was very serious in class and was also very sensitive to colors. There is a long section. I will pass it on to you." Mr. Programmer Look at the phone and say.

"Nannan, do you like taking classes with Teacher Xiao?" Xi Ruoxue asked her son.

Nan Nan looked happy and said loudly: "I like it!"

"Then do you still want to go to class?" Xi Ruoxue asked again.

"Think!" Nan Nan said without hesitation.

Xi Ruoxue and her husband looked at each other: Come on, my son likes it, and the other party's "after-sales service" looks very good, so why hesitate, sign up.

"Brother Song, [-]% to [-]% of the children who came to the trial class finally signed up!" Mao Shi reported excitedly to Song Lan.

Song Lan just smiled, as if she knew this would happen a long time ago.

"But with so many children, I'm afraid Xiao Dan won't be able to do it alone." Mao Shi frowned again.

Song Lan looked confident and said, "Don't worry, I've already asked someone to recruit other art teachers."

"Wow, so Brother Song, you want to play a big ticket?" Mao Shi was surprised.At first, he thought that Song Lan just wanted to run a class, and make money along the way while opening a bookstore.

Song Lan raised her eyebrows: "You have been with me for so long, but you still haven't figured out my temper?"

Song Lan's temper is actually easy to guess: as long as it can make money and won't infringe the interests of others, then he has to try whatever he says.

Children's money is the best to earn. For children, most parents do their best. They would rather suffer a little bit and give their children the best, including education.Today's children are embarrassed to meet people without attending five or six interest classes.Taking this into consideration, Song Lan also decided to start a painting class, since the venue is ready-made anyway.

——Song Lan didn't think about whether he, who opened a bookstore, suddenly took his painting class as a failure of his job.In his view, holding painting classes is the same as offering moss micro-landscape courses and seal cutting courses. Anyway, it is right to make money and increase fame.

As for the Shadow Bookstore becoming famous again in the future because of these weird courses, it can only be regarded as an unexpected joy, and the current Song Lan actually did not expect such a result.

At present, there are many educational institutions on the market, and there are countless institutions with large scale and wide reputation. After all, parents have spent all their efforts to train their children so that their children will not lose at the starting line.Competing for a job with those big organizations is not an easy task, and Song Lan is not so arrogant that he thinks that the painting class they set up will definitely be able to compare with other painting classes.

Song Lan asked Xiao Dan to create on the graffiti wall in the children's reading area. One is to decorate the graffiti wall, and the other is to attract the attention of the children. As long as someone pays attention and is willing to try an experience class, then Song Lan There is no small grasp to retain these students.

Xiao Dan's painting style is relatively fresh, with bright colors, which is the type that children like the most. In addition, Xiao Dan is born with an affinity to attract children, which immediately makes children like this painting. The painting is so good , A big sister who is good-looking and soft-spoken.

Since the opening of the Shadow Bookstore Nantian branch, not a few people have signed up to learn painting. Song Lan also recruited several art teachers in advance to take classes with Xiao Dan.The place where the classes are held is in the bookstore. Song Lan had already planned everything when it was being renovated, and set aside a special place for an art classroom.

In this way, when parents come to send their children to class, they don't have to wait elsewhere. They can read books, drink tea and eat snacks in the bookstore directly, and wait for their children to finish class, eliminating the need to travel on the road.Those who like to move or not like to be quiet can also go to the nearby shopping malls, and the two-hour class time is quickly passed.

"Nanhai Life Monthly" reporter Yuan Mengyin did not expect that she would go to the Shadow Bookstore again, not in Xingzhou City, but in Nantian City, the provincial capital.

In just over a year, this shadow bookstore has developed rapidly, not only opening branches one after another, but also gaining a good reputation on the Internet. It seems to be a rising star in the bookstore industry.

Since the last interview, Yuan Mengyin has also been in touch with Song Lan in private from time to time. She has bought several handmade souvenirs such as flower and fruit tea and small snacks from the bookstore through the online store. The shadow bookstore branch opened in Nantian City After that, she was also the first batch of customers to enter the store.

At that time, she came with a group of her colleagues. After all, everyone had bought a lot of things through the Shadow Bookstore's online store, but they hadn't been to the physical store in person.Among them, Yuan Mengyin, the foodie colleague who is in charge of the food section, is the most excited - no matter how delicious the food purchased online is, it is definitely not as good as freshly made. He has long wanted to try the freshly baked pastries in the bookstore.

At first, my foodie colleagues were a little worried. I wanted to say that the pastry chefs in this branch are different, and the things they make will be different.The dim sum at Xingzhou branch of Shadow Bookstore is delicious, but that doesn’t mean the dim sum here at Nantian branch is also delicious.

This is also the fault of most chain restaurants. Maybe the chefs in the main store are really good, but once there are more stores, the level of chefs in each store cannot be guaranteed to be the same, which leads to the disappointment of some customers who come here especially , I feel that under the prestigious name, it is actually difficult to live up to it.

The colleague's worry was already considered by Song Lan, and he was even more thoughtful.As early as when Shadow Bookstore opened its first branch, Song Lan went directly to the baking school, signed some outstanding students who were about to graduate, and promised them a good salary to let them work directly in Shadow Bookstore after graduation .

At the beginning, not many students chose to go to the Shadow Bookstore, especially among those outstanding students, there were very few who were willing to come.Everyone has ideals, and is eager to enter a big hotel and become the chief pastry chef in the future, instead of going to a bookstore to be a small pastry chef.Not to mention anything else, if this is said, the reputation will not be good.

Therefore, although Song Lan gave a very good salary to the newcomers, very few people were really willing to sign an agreement with Shadow Bookstore. Some people were willing, but it was Song Lan who thought that the other party was not good enough.In the end, only two students signed contracts with Shadow Bookstore, and they were careful to only sign for two years, saying that if they wanted to leave the bookstore after two years, they could not force them to stay.

These two students, one named Qian Zhixing and the other named Zhang Xinwen, are both outstanding students of the baking school. They are good at cooking, but their families are a little bit difficult. If it weren't for this, they would not have chosen Shadow Bookstore.

Qian Zhixing and Zhang Xinwen originally thought that they would be able to take office directly after arriving at the Shadow Bookstore, but they were told that they had to train for a month first.At that time, the two were immediately stunned, and looked at each other: Did you hear me wrong?Come to a small bookstore and need training?

If you want to work as a pastry chef in those five-star hotels, of course you have to train, but isn't this a bookstore? As for making it so formal?

The two of them were still a little unconvinced: they were all excellent students in the baking school, the kind that even the teachers praised, how capable is this bookstore, and why did they come to train them?

But no matter what, since the agreement has been signed, it is regarded as an employee of the bookstore, and of course he has to obey the boss's orders.Because of the lack of people, the bookstore even waived the probationary period, saying that after the training, they can take up the post directly, and during the training period, they will be paid according to the salary standard of the probationary period.

Thinking about it this way, Qian Zhixing and Zhang Xinwen calmed down a lot: the training will also be paid, and the other party will also cover food and housing. Since this is the case, it will be regarded as an extra month of free school for them, which is not a loss.

What surprised the two of them was that the trainer who claimed to be Tang Chi was really capable, even better than the teacher in the baking school.After a month of training, their skills are much higher than they were in school, and all the problems they encountered in the actual operation in the past have been easily solved. Compared with a month ago, they have almost qualitatively surpassed.

Even so, the two proud students had to admit that their skills were still not as good as Tang Chi's.According to their estimates, Tang Chi must have reached the level of a senior technician, the kind that enjoys national technical subsidies.

But precisely because Mr. Tang is so powerful, this made them even more puzzled: With this skill, what kind of restaurant can't you go to?Why work in a small bookstore?This is too wasteful, right?

After thinking about it, the two of them could only attribute the reason to the fact that the wages paid by this bookstore must be very high, otherwise Tang Chi would have no reason to stay here.

At the same time, they were still a little puzzled: this bookstore is really strange, it sells books, so why spend a lot of money to hire a pastry chef with advanced skills?It's a bit of a fuss.

After this month's training, Qian Zhixing and Zhang Xinwen, two already capable pastry chefs, have improved a lot. If their level was similar to that of ordinary bakery chefs before, they have far surpassed them now. Average bakery standard.

After the training period, Qian Zhixing was sent to the Shadow Bookstore in Bishan City, while Zhang Xinwen went to the branch in Nantian City. As for the two bookstores in Xingzhou City, Tang Chi was still in charge.

After receiving Tang Chi's guidance, Zhang Xinwen's craftsmanship has greatly improved, and because of this, the pastries he made can satisfy most customers, including Yuan Mengyin's foodie colleague.

"It's delicious!" The foodie colleague ate two plates of cakes and a stack of freshly baked biscuits in a row, then wiped his mouth reluctantly, and praised, "Eat too much without getting greasy, this is what first-class desserts should have level."

Unexpectedly, Yuan Mengyin shook her head and said: "I think the pastries in this shop are not as good as those in Xingzhou. You will know what is called top-notch after eating the pastry made first there."

After she said this, the foodie colleagues became even more greedy, and they wished to leave for Xingzhou City immediately to taste the "top taste" that Yuan Mengyin said for themselves.

Since then, Yuan Mengyin would come to the bookstore every now and then, and it happened that her company was not far from here, so it would be great to have tea and snacks with her colleagues after get off work.

In the past, Yuan Mengyin liked to find a coffee shop to ask her interviewees to talk in detail when interviewing, but now, there is a suitable place.

The shadow bookstore has a very good environment and a strong cultural atmosphere. It also provides that kind of small box, and the door is closed. As long as you are not playing cards or mahjong in it, you don't have to worry about affecting others.

Taking a step back, if someone really played cards in the box, he would definitely be blacklisted by the bookstore.

This time, the interviewee of Yuan Mengyin is an intellectual female essayist who is famous for her delicate and tender writing. She has published two collections of essays and is preparing to publish the third.

Yuan Mengyin was looking for this writer not to ask for a manuscript, but because Mother's Day was coming, and "Nanhai Life Monthly" was going to have a special column about mothers, and this writer was among them.

The female writer is a native of Nantian City. She is in her thirties and is a single mother. She raises her children on her manuscript fee, which is very inspirational.Because of this, Yuan Mengyin thought of interviewing her.

The female writer brought her five-year-old son with her. The child was too young, and she was worried about staying at home alone.Originally, she wanted Yuan Mengyin to come to her home for an interview, but when she learned that the interview was at the Shadow Bookstore, she readily agreed.

"This bookstore is very good. My son likes the children's reading area here very much." As soon as she was seated, the female writer smiled and said to Yuan Mengyin.She had already taken her son to the children's reading area and let him read there.

Yuan Mengyin poured her a cup of tea, and said with a smile after hearing the words: "No, their children's reading area is really creative. It perfectly combines two completely different places, the amusement park and the bookstore. I think kids will like it."

The female writer seemed to have thought of something, and she frowned with a smile: "There is also that graffiti wall. Every time my son comes here, he has to ask me to rent a set of painting equipment for him. I said that the owner of this bookstore is also very rich. Wall, I’m afraid I can make a lot of money just by renting painting tools.”

Yuan Mengyin said: "I'm afraid this is Boss Song's idea. I interviewed him before. He is a rare businessman. He is different from ordinary vulgar businessmen. Do you know that the shadow bookstore in Xingzhou and here It's not the same, it's a 24-hour bookstore, and regularly holds late-night reading clubs..."

While talking, Yuan Mengyin felt a little emotional: At the beginning, she thought that Shadow Bookstore would be successful, but she never expected to open a branch in Nantian City so soon.I have to say, that boss Song Lan is really amazing.Perhaps at some point, she can apply to the editor-in-chief to do an exclusive interview with Shadow Bookstore.The current shadow bookstore is worthy of an interview with their magazine.

The two chatted about the Shadow Bookstore for a while before getting to the point.

After the interview, the female writer went to pick up her son home, while Yuan Mengyin continued to hang out in the store.She likes the atmosphere here very much, and she never gets tired of visiting it no matter how many times.

Unexpectedly, she actually met Song Lan.

The author has something to say:

Happy New Years Eve everyone!I wish you all a happy new year "pig"~
