I open a bookstore in the human world

The so-called Book Kiosk 2.0 refers to the improvement of the original Book Kiosk. If the Book Kiosk version 1.0 only functions as a half library, then the Book Kiosk Version 2.0 is actually a miniature library.

The original library booth didn’t have any barriers, and anyone could take the books inside to read. It’s not uncommon for some people with poor quality to take the books and refuse to return them. For this situation, the organizers have nothing to do—— I don't know who took it, so what can I do?Therefore, the loss of books in the booth is relatively large, and a batch of new goods must be purchased from time to time.

In response to this phenomenon, the municipal government decided to make a major transformation of the library kiosk, that is, to introduce electronic equipment to improve safety and convenience.Change the door of the library kiosk into an electronic lock, and you need to swipe a special borrowing card to enter and exit. Every time you enter and exit, a record will be left on the system.At the same time, if citizens want to borrow books home, they also need to swipe their cards on special equipment to degauss them, otherwise the door of the library kiosk cannot be opened and the borrower cannot leave.

As for the borrowing card, citizens who already have a borrowing card of the municipal library can directly use the card of the city library, and those who do not have it can choose to apply for a card at the city library or the shadow bookstore.A deposit of 100 yuan is required, and the card application is free. If you don’t want the card anymore, you can go to the designated place to return the card and get the money.All costs in this area are borne by the municipal library—the state also subsidizes the library anyway.

The borrowing period of each book is two months. If the book is not returned after more than two months, the borrower will be automatically blacklisted by the system and cannot enter the library kiosk.If you want to get out of the blacklist, you must go to the city library or the shadow bookstore to go through the formalities and pay a certain amount (0.5 yuan for one day overdue, and so on) before you can leave the blacklist.However, if a user is on the blacklist three times within a year, he will enter the small black room, confiscate the borrowing card, and will not be allowed to apply for it again within three years.

Maybe some people will think, it’s a big deal to stop going to the city map or the library booth, and earn a few books anyway.In response to this situation, there are also corresponding countermeasures, mainly referring to the management method of the city library for borrowers who do not return books-then the other party's deposit will not be returned.

At the same time, each library booth has a built-in book query system, and the borrower can easily find out which library the book he wants to find is in just by searching.If the book is too far away from the borrower's location, you can apply for a different library to transfer the book. After the borrower applies on the system, he needs to board the system for one to two days, and then a special manager will transfer the book to the designated library kiosk. , and notify the borrower to go to borrow by text message.

Although the collections of the city library are not rich, compared with libraries in other cities, it can still meet the general reading needs of ordinary citizens.If there are books that are not in the system, the borrower can fill in the book recommendation form and recommend to buy the books he wants to read. Once the form is approved, the borrower will also receive a SMS reminder within one month at the latest, asking him to go Designated library kiosks to borrow books.

These are actually the routine operations of general libraries, and there is nothing special about them, except that other libraries are located in fixed locations, while mobile book kiosks are spread all over the city in the form of telephone booths, and there may be quite a few There is a miniature library at the doorstep of citizens, which greatly facilitates those who want to read books but don't want to go to the library to borrow them.

It will be more than a month until the library kiosk is fully upgraded.During this period, Song Lan was "fortunate" to see the efficiency of the city library staff, and finally understood the reason for the inexplicable expression of Deputy Mayor Li at the beginning, and finally knew why the city government insisted on bringing the shadow bookstore into it. up...

Fortunately, Deputy Mayor Li handed over the full management power to the shadow bookstore, and only asked the city plan to send someone to participate in the early guidance work, otherwise he would be a proper pig teammate.After seeing the extremely low work efficiency of the city map, Song Lan understood why most citizens didn't even know the existence of the city map.

At the same time, Song Lan recruited a group of employees in the name of the mobile library kiosk to be responsible for the mobile library kiosk.The salaries of employees are allocated by government transfers, and there is no need for shadow bookstores to bear the corresponding expenses.

During the renovation period, Shadow Bookstore’s official Weibo and WeChat public accounts updated the renovation progress synchronously every day. Therefore, before Book Kiosk 2.0 was officially put into operation, many fans of Shadow Bookstore began to look forward to it, even some impatient people. I also went to apply for a borrowing card in advance.

To say that this small borrowing card can also reflect the good intentions of Shadow Bookstore.Song Lan discovered that the book borrowing cards previously issued by the city library were monotonous and rigid in style, all of which were white on a green background, with "Xingzhou Library" written in Song typeface on the front and a library logo on the front, and "Instructions for Borrowing" on the back. In addition, there is no slightest creativity and design at all.

For Song Lan who likes beautiful things, this is simply unbearable.Take the membership card of the shadow bookstore as a comparison. The membership card of the bookstore is full of creativity. Professional designers and painters are hired to draw. Every year, different styles of membership cards are launched. At the same time, each branch will launch a membership card exclusive to the store. , for favorites.For example, various plants are drawn on the membership card of Huafang Bookstore, and the membership card of the Bishan branch is painted with Q version of ancient characters.

Because these membership cards are so good-looking, some collectors will spend money to apply for several different cards in order to collect the membership cards of the Shadow Bookstore, which inadvertently brings another income to the Shadow Bookstore.The Shadow Bookstore also regularly organizes lucky draws for membership cards on the Internet, giving away membership cards.

Therefore, when she saw the sample borrowing card provided by the city library, Song Lan's first thought was that the shadow bookstore must not have any connection with this ugly borrowing card.

In this regard, people from the city library expressed their incomprehension: "We have used this borrowing card for more than [-] years, but no one has ever reported that the card is not good."

Song Lan's eyes and ears are sharp, and she quickly caught the key word "twenty years", and her eyes widened in disbelief: "How long do you think this card has been used for?!"

This matter was nothing at all, but when he said this, the staff of the city map felt a little guilty: "Yeah, it's only 20 years... I heard that this card was specially designed by a designer." After the library changed the library card into a borrowing card, their library will use this borrowing card.

Song Lan: "..." He expressed his doubts about the level of that "designer", and felt that the things he made with word typesetting looked better than this.

Speechless, things have to be done.The first thing is to redesign a debit card.

Although the person in charge of the city map expressed that he didn't understand, he didn't object. At the beginning, Deputy Mayor Li explained that as long as he didn't go too far, the city map would cooperate with the shadow bookstore.

With the help of Xiao Dan and Zuiyue, the new borrowing card was quickly designed: a book kiosk was hand-painted on the front of the card, with the words "mobile library kiosk" written on it, and a borrowing book was drawn beside the kiosk. villain.On the back is the "Instructions for Borrowing", and the lower right corner is marked with the names of the Xingzhou Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Library and the Shadow Bookstore.

"It's pretty good-looking." Seeing this brand-new borrowing card, the person in charge of the city map was completely convinced, "To be honest, I want to keep one when I see it. Just for the appearance, I would also like to Get a library card."

Song Lan smiled modestly: "We will launch various versions of commemorative borrowing cards in the future, and it won't be too late to be excited."

The other party was taken aback by what he said: "I finally know why your bookstore is so popular."

The design of the card is completed, and the next professional task is still left to the professionals. With the professionals of the city map, Song Lan doesn't need to worry too much.

***

While Song Lan was busy with the mobile library kiosk, Xie Daonian sent back news from Shanghai that the first branch of Ying Tea in Shanghai was about to open, and asked Song Lan if he had time to come to the scene.

"Hands and feet are really fast." Seeing the text message from Xie Daonian, Song Lan muttered.He remembered that Xie Daonian had just chosen the location not long ago, and now it has been renovated and is about to open.

Think about it when he opened the first out-of-province branch in Shan'an City, it didn't go so smoothly.

Speaking of which, it seems that Shadow Tea, which Xie Daonian is solely in charge of, has been very smooth from the very beginning. Don’t talk about commercial competition, it seems that there is nothing that affects word of mouth. The most malicious rumor is that the popularity of Movie Tea is hype. And this rumor was soon slapped in the face by many "tap water".

Song Lan also heard that some fans have set up Xie Daonian's fan site. Others' fan sites are all about making videos for their idols. As a result, Xie Daonian's fan site is dedicated to discussing eighteen planting methods. It's the same as the flower farmers forum... It is said that Xie Daonian's fans also have a unified name called "Nian Gao".Tsk tsk tsk, it sounds sticky and disgusting.

All in all, Xie Daonian's journey is like a god's help, and I don't know where the shit luck came from.

Looking at Xie Daonian, and thinking about her own experience, Song Lan felt like crying: people compare themselves to others, it will really piss people off!

However, this is also what Song Lan likes to hear, and he still feels a sense of relief in his heart: You know, but he has made Xie Daonian "□□" into the current appearance, so he is the most successful one.

Thinking of this, Song Lan's mood brightened again.

The first branch of Shadow Tea in Shanghai opened in a shopping mall in a well-known business district in the center of Shanghai. It was a store facing the street, with an area of ​​about twenty square meters, and the rent was outrageously high.Even Song Lan, who claimed to have seen the world, missed a beat when he heard the rent.

But considering the possible income in the future, Song Lan felt relieved: as long as there are no accidents, he will definitely be able to earn back within half a year.

However, this is only the best result. The more likely result is that Ying Tea fails and has to withdraw from the Shanghai market.It's not that such a thing has never happened before, and Song Lan was mentally prepared for it.

For this reason, he made a special phone call with Xie Daonian, expressing euphemistically that if you lose money, you don't need to be too psychologically stressed, and if you don't stay here, you can stay here.If you stay in the green hills, you don't have to worry about having no firewood to burn, and you are afraid that Xie Daonian will be hit and slumped. As far as he knows, many people who are going smoothly will easily develop psychological problems when they encounter any setbacks.

Facts have proved that Song Lan is overthinking.
