I open a bookstore in the human world

Shocked, Shang Nianxi almost threw the phone out, and hurriedly turned off the screen guilty, wondering if Song Lan had seen the photo on her phone just now.

Feeling guilty, Shang Nianxi was still thinking: Is this Boss Song a cat?Why is there no sound at all when walking?

Behind her, Song Lan showed a concerned expression: "Miss Shang, are you okay?"

"No, it's nothing." Shang Nianxi was a little guilty, thinking that seeing Song Lan acting so naturally, he probably didn't see it, right?

——If she knew that Song Lan had actually been standing behind her for half a minute, seeing everything she should see and what she shouldn't, I'm afraid she would be able to grab the ground right now to thank the world.

Of course, Song Lan is a very gentlemanly man (cross out) ghost, so naturally he would not do such an embarrassing behavior for a lady.He pretended not to know anything, smiled and said to Shang Nianxi: "Shall we go?"

Shang Nianxi came back to her senses and nodded: "Okay, I'll pick up the car and take you to lunch first."

Shang Nianxi didn't take Song Lan to any high-end restaurant, but found an unattractive small restaurant, saying that he could eat authentic Shanghai cuisine here.

It's not the time of meal, there are neither too many nor too few people in the restaurant, sitting in twos and threes, almost all of them are very delicately dressed old aunts in Shanghai with curly hair, red lips and thin eyebrows, talking quickly Speaking the dialect of Modu, seeing Song Lan and the others come in, he glanced at him quickly and continued to chat.I just don't know why, but Song Lan always feels that their topic seems to be related to him.

Shang Nianxi is a native of Modu. He couldn't help laughing when he heard the old aunts' comments, and teased Song Lan in a low voice: "Mr. Song, they are praising you for your good looks, they are just praising you for your good looks."

Song Lan smiled slightly and said to Shang Nianxi: "Please thank them for me, I think so too."

Shang Nianxi held back her laughter, she really said that to the aunts, made them smile, and praised a few words that Song Lan couldn't understand.

Shang Nianxi secretly gave Song Lan a thumbs up, and said: "Mr. Song, you are really good. These aunts usually speak mean words, and you can coax them into submission."

Song Lan shrugged, with a smile in his eyes, and said in a serious manner: "Maybe it's because of my appearance?"

After speaking, both of them laughed.

Shang Nianxi had to admit that Song Lan was able to start from scratch at such a young age, and he has come to this day not only because of his good skin, but also because of his strength.This meal was particularly enjoyable, and I was afraid that I had been completely overwhelmed by his personal charm.

After the meal, Shang Nianxi took Song Lan to visit several bookstores in the alliance one by one as planned, because she was sent by the alliance, and the staff in the store were very enthusiastic about the two of them, and introduced a lot of things to Song Lan .

For the next two days, he still visited various bookstores. Shang Nianxi noticed that Song Lan was carrying a notepad with him, making notes from time to time, and asked, "Mr. Song is taking notes?"

Song Lan nodded: "I found that the bookstore in Shanghai has a lot to learn from." Maybe he can make some reforms in the shadow bookstore after returning.This is also one of the purposes of his visit to Shanghai.

Shang Nianxi's eyes moved slightly, and he tentatively said jokingly: "Our alliance will hold a bookstore experience exchange meeting every other quarter, and representatives of bookstores in the alliance will participate. If Mr. Song is interested, you might as well join our alliance. Sharing resources and exchanging experiences.”

The superior sent Shang Nianxi to entertain Song Lan, not just to provide him with a free driver and tour guide, but to give Shang Nianxi a task to observe Song Lan's words and deeds closely to see if he is worth it The league opened the door for it.

If a company wants to become bigger and stronger, the leader plays a key role. A good leader can turn the tide and turn the tide when the company encounters a crisis, but a bad leader will also ruin a good hand and ruin a company. enterprise.Therefore, even if the shadow bookstore seems to be developing very well now, the owner Song Lan has to be investigated to see if he meets the standards of the alliance.

Obviously, Shang Nianxi was very satisfied with Song Lan's performance, and received orders from his superiors, which was a formal invitation to him.

Song Lan's eyebrows were raised slightly. Of course he heard the meaning behind Shang Nianxi's words, but he pretended not to understand, and just said, "That's pretty good."

So it's gone?Say no more?Shang Nianxi's smile froze slightly, and she looked at Song Lan uncertainly, wondering if her tone was too joking, making the other party think it was not true.

Just as he was wondering whether he should make another explicit hint, Song Lan said, "However, the model of the alliance is good, but it is not suitable for all bookstores. It is good to have a unified style, but it is necessary to let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, so as to promote the market. Common prosperity, Miss Shang, do you think so?"

"Yes..." Shang Nianxi forced a smile, and finally understood that Song Lan didn't understand, but simply didn't care about it.

Smart people never need to be too explicit when speaking. Shang Nianxi tactfully offered the invitation, but Song Lan also tactfully refused, and it sounded like there was no room for negotiation.In this case, Shang Nianxi immediately reported the matter to the "big sister", explaining Song Lan's attitude.

"Oh? He doesn't want to?" In a modern and minimalist office, Liang Hong raised her eyebrows slightly, tapped her fingers unconsciously on the table, and looked at Shang Nianxi with some deep meaning in her eyes, "Please read the conversation between the two of you Learn it for me."

Shang Nianxi did it again. Fortunately, she has a good memory, and she can still remember the conversation at that time clearly.

"It's interesting." After a long silence, Liang Hong stopped her fingers and straightened her face. "If that's the case, let's forget it. It's just a small bookstore that doesn't have a reputation. It's not worth spending a lot of time. Our opponent is the one in the capital."

Shang Nianxi knew that Liang Hong was talking about the "Alliance of World Documentation Industry", which is headquartered in the imperial capital and occupies most of the market in northern China.At present, there are a dozen or so bookstore alliances in China, but the truly influential ones are their Great Book Industry Alliance and the Northern World Document Industry Alliance.

The two alliances each occupy the book market in the north and south of China. Of course, because of the same goal, there will be friction between them from time to time-it may be a bit implicit to say this, but to be more precise, they are each other's biggest competitors , I don't like each other, and I'm afraid it's not the kind to punch out my brains when I meet.

Liang Hong firmly believes that the future book market will belong to the book industry alliance, and the contestants will no longer be scattered and independent bookstores, but bookstore alliances.The "war" between bookstore alliances will be more intense and cruel than the competition among bookstores.After all, if a bookstore fails, it will only disappear as a bookstore, and it will have no impact on the book industry.And if a bookstore alliance fails, there can only be two outcomes: either it will go bankrupt together with all the bookstores in the alliance, or it will be annexed by the other party and become a part of the other party. No matter which result it is, it is not a good thing.

Therefore, after the establishment of the bookstore alliance, the first and most important task is to accumulate strength, which is manifested in the continuous development of members. The stronger the overall strength of the members, the greater the strength of the alliance.Since the establishment of the Great Book Industry Alliance, it has been expanding its members, throwing olive branches to potential bookstores and absorbing them to join.

In Liang Hong's view, Shadow Bookstore is a bookstore with good potential, and there is room for development in the future. She invited Song Lan to visit Shanghai Magic City to show him the power of the Great Book Industry Alliance. She invited Shadow Bookstore to join and add strength to the alliance. .Unexpectedly, Song Lan refused decisively, so Liang Hong didn't force it - she had already given Shadow Bookstore a chance, but since the other party didn't want it, it wasn't worth her trouble.After all, the other party is just a bookstore. No matter how big it is, if it is exhausted, it will open a few more branches. How big can it be?Her main and only opponent is that Zhou in the north.

"Ahhhh!" At the same time, in an office in a certain office building in the imperial capital, a middle-aged man sitting on a leather boss chair with a carefree expression sneezed solidly, rubbed his nose, and said to himself He said to himself: "Who is cursing me behind my back? Well...it must be that old woman Liang Hong, that is, she, cursing me behind my back every day. Alas, what Confucius said is right, only women and villains are difficult to raise! "

***

Although the final result of this trip to the magic capital was a bit embarrassing, overall it was very rewarding. Song Lan took a notepad full of experience and satisfactorily boarded the plane back to Nanhai Province and returned to Nantian City.

The first thing I did after I came back was to order to add the item "Book Lucky Bag" to the store.

The "Book Lucky Bag" is learned from the "Blind Selection of Books" in Qiuzhi Bookstore.To put it simply, it is to put the book cover on the book bag on the bookshelf, without specifying the title of the book, and only use one sentence on the book cover to summarize the main content of the book, such as "The meaning of travel is not the destination, but the destination. It’s about the scenery on the road” and so on.Customers only select books based on keywords, and cannot open the book cover in advance. Only after paying the bill can they know what kind of book they bought.

This shopping method is a bit more mysterious and exciting than the traditional way of first reading the book title and introduction before deciding whether to buy a book, and sometimes it can bring great surprises to customers, making the book buying process a "" A treasure hunt experience.Judging from the sales situation of Qiuzhi Bookstore, this initiative is quite popular with the public, and a certain number of blindly selected books can be sold every day.

The pricing of blindly selected books is uniform, but it is guaranteed that the original price of each book can exceed the uniform price, but it is not necessarily how much it exceeds.Lucky shoppers can sometimes even snag a great book for less than half the price.

As for the selected books, there are also many kinds of books in different styles, from literature to art, from technology to recipes, there are all kinds of books, which also adds a bit of challenge to the blind selection.

This kind of blind selection activity seems to be quite new in the book industry, but it has actually appeared in online shopping for a long time.Many online stores will set up a "lucky bag" of products in the store. Only when the seller actually receives the goods can he know what he is buying. Maybe some of them are satisfied, and maybe they are not satisfied with anything.

Song Lan decided to combine the "blind book selection" of Qiuzhi Bookstore and the "lucky bag" products in online shopping to launch the "book lucky bag" activity.What is different from Qiuzhi Bookstore is that in the "Book Lucky Bag" on the shelves of the Shadow Bookstore, in addition to books, there is also a voucher for cultural and creative products created by the Shadow Bookstore. According to this voucher, you can exchange for different cultural and creative products, or It's a notebook, or a mug. If you're lucky, you can exchange it for a flower and fruit tea gift box, or if you're not good enough, you can exchange it for a few postcards and bookmarks.

In this way, in addition to increasing the sales of lucky bags, it can also dispel some customers' distrust of "lucky bags" products.After all, in the past, there were not no stores that used the name of "lucky bag" to deal with those unsalable inventory. The products they received were either ugly or flawed. Don't want to try.

Since you want to engage in this activity, of course you must do it well, and you must not deceive consumers.Song Lan is not like those unscrupulous merchants who regard unsalable books as lucky bags. On the contrary, most of the books in the lucky bag are books with good sales. The quality must also pass the test.

Therefore, the "Book Lucky Bag" activity has been popular since it was put on the shelves in the major branches of Shadow Bookstore. The lucky bags put on the shelves are sold out every day, so there is no need to worry about the embarrassing scene where no one cares about a lucky bag for many days.
