My landlord's eyes seem to be weird, is there something wrong?

[Contents]

I collaborated with my friends and rented a store together. I don’t know why I always feel that the landlord looks at us very strangely. Please help me, what should I do if I encounter this problem?

1L: Could it be that the landlord is a pervert?Otherwise, the landlord should move and change the place.

2L (landlord): It’s impossible to move. The store has been renovated and the rent has been paid. Moving would be a blood loss.

3L: Life is more important than money. The landlord has to think clearly. Didn’t there be news about a perverted landlord who imprisoned the tenant and tortured him in various ways. I heard that the unlucky guy lost his mind after being rescued. Hospitalized for a long time.

4L (the original poster): Brother 3 may have misunderstood a bit [laughing cry] The strangeness I said is not that kind of strangeness, but... forget it, I can’t tell [two ha]

5L: So what is the situation, the host should explain clearly, the most annoying ghosts who only talk half of the words [crazy]

6L: Upstairs!

……

67L: So the poster ran away?Still being imprisoned by the perverted landlord...

On the day of the soft opening of the Shadow Bookstore, owner Shi of the street flower shop specially sent several large flower baskets.The flowers that Xie Daonian sold to him last time were all sold at a good price, and they were sold out quickly, including many other flowers and plants in his shop.

Boss Shi was very happy, so he came to congratulate himself when he learned that after the bookstore reopened, the two bosses, Xie and Song, would not be managing business in the flower shop.

When he reached the door of the bookstore, Boss Shi thought he had gone to the wrong place.

Is this, is this still the Friendship Bookstore in the past?Boss Shi rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and opened his mouth silently.

The front of this store is about the same size as the surrounding noodle shop, grocery store, hardware store, but the overall style of painting is completely different——

There is a huge signboard above the head. The background color of the signboard is light gray which looks very advanced. The words "Shadow Bookstore" are made with three-dimensional relief effect. The font seems very special, even Boss Shi who only has a junior high school education I have to admit: this word is beautifully written.

"Why did you change the name when it was so good?" Boss Shi looked at the name of the store and said to himself, "Shadow Bookstore...what does the name mean?"

Looking down along the signboard, you can see the glass wall that almost occupies the entire storefront. The polished floor-to-ceiling windows can almost show the silhouettes of people. A lot of hair is gathered together.

Pushing open the glass door with the word "Push" on it and walking in, Boss Shi's first feeling was that the touch under his feet was different.

This generation is an old residential area. Many of the shops facing the street have been open for 20 years or more. The decoration in the past is relatively simple. Those who are particular about it will be paved with tiles, and those who are not particular about it will be directly cemented.The Friendship Bookstore used to lay a layer of leather on the concrete floor, which was hard to step on, but this time it was different. When he stepped on it, Boss Shi immediately felt that it was a solid wood floor.

Looking at the shiny light wood-colored wooden floor, Boss Shi thought to himself that Xiao Xie really spent a lot of money this time, no wonder even his precious flowers were sold.

Looking up from the floor, the first thing Boss Shi saw was a log-colored shelf with a height of only half a person. thing.

"They said it was tape, and it was used for ledgers." Maybe it was because he was too fascinated by the research, Boss Shi didn't even know when there was another person beside him, so he was very shocked.

"Who did I say, it turned out to be Sister Zhang!" Seeing the person coming, Boss Shi let out a long sigh, patted his chest and said, "I'm getting old, I really can't stand the scare. You just said that this is for cooking What is it for? Accounting?"

The landlord, Aunt Zhang, also came here to congratulate the bookstore. How can I say that the Xie family has been an old tenant for more than [-] years. Not long ago, they paid the rent they owed. Now the relationship between the two parties has returned to normal. If you don’t come, it’s out of reason I can't justify it.

"I don't understand these things, Xiao Shi, don't you just keep an account? As for making it so colorful?" Aunt Zhang also had a roll of washi tape in her hand, and she couldn't figure it out. This little gadget still costs ten yuan!"

"This thing is called washi tape, and it's used to decorate the account, not to keep accounts." A young clerk with a sunny face came over with a smile and explained to Boss Shi and Aunt Zhang, "The account is A notebook for remembering things can be used as a memo or a diary.”

Aunt Zhang and Boss Shi looked at each other: I still don't understand.

Happily and enthusiastically, he took out a handbook that had already been prepared and showed it to the two of them: "Here, this is the handbook. In addition to paper tape, you can also paste all kinds of cute little fresh stickers, stamps, draw pictures, etc. Whatever, you can do whatever you like."

As he said, he happily and carefully picked up a small bottle on the Duobaoge shelf, and explained: "These are ink bottles, which contain inks of various colors, and there are all kinds of flavors. They are written with this kind of ink. Words, smell good and look good."

"These are all used to write a diary?" Aunt Zhang thought it was incredible, and thought that she hadn't kept a diary back then. Isn't it just a pen and a notebook? Why do you need such a bunch of weird gadgets?

Boss Shi is concerned about another matter: "I'm a good boy, remember how much it costs to write a diary..." He doubts that there will really be someone willing to be taken advantage of to buy these things?

While talking, two girls dressed as junior high school students walked into the store talking and laughing one after the other.

One of the girls with short hair cut to the ears said: "Let me just say, there is a new bookstore here that is very literary and artistic, you still don't believe it."

Another girl with a ponytail said: "Our generation can actually open this kind of store? Hey, isn't this washi tape?" She looked at the tape in Boss Shi's hand in surprise.

"My tape is almost used up. Go and see if there is any good-looking tape, so as not to choose online." The short-haired girl also cheered.

I was happy to see a customer coming, and I smiled apologetically at Boss Shi and Aunt Zhang, greeted them enthusiastically, and handed each of them a small brown basket: "What do you two want to buy?"

"Your washi tape is pretty nice, and there are quite a lot of varieties." The ponytailed girl said while choosing.

Happy Ghost smiled and said: "These tapes are new and of good quality. Our store is in trial operation this week. You can get a 39% discount if you spend over 9 yuan, and you can get a 89% discount if you spend over 8 yuan. You will also get a free membership card."

"Is there any discount for the membership card?" the short-haired girl asked with great interest.

"Membership card adopts points system. Spending one yuan is equivalent to one point. Accumulated points within a year can be exchanged for corresponding small gifts. In addition to specials, you can get 9.5% off with membership card. You can use membership card to get discount on birthday shopping. 7% off." He introduced happily and enthusiastically, "After the official opening, you have to recharge the membership card for [-] yuan, and this week's trial opening is really a good deal."

The two girls looked at each other, and the girl with short hair said, "Okay, then let's pick and choose."

Boss Shi and Aunt Zhang stared dumbfounded at Happy Ghost guiding the girl with two baskets full of small items to the counter to pay.

Aunt Zhang was speechless: "Since when did Xiao Xie become so good at doing business?"

Boss Shi muttered to himself: "There are people who are not short of money and spend such a large sum of money to write a diary..." He just saw clearly from the side that the two girls not only took a few rolls of tape, but also chose a diary. Stickers, ink, small clips and other gadgets, all of them add up, there should be more than 100, right?

After seeing off the two little girls, Kaixin returned to Duobaoge Shelf again, and continued to chat with Boss Shi and Aunt Zhang: "Would you like to go in for a stroll?"

Both of them were in a trance, and looked at each other uncertainly: "Then... let's go shopping again?"

Going further inside, it looks like a normal bookstore model. Several log-colored summer holidays are arranged in a patchwork pattern. Different wooden signs are hung on each shelf for classification, but what is more special is that these classifications are not Like ordinary bookstores, they are classified according to the nature of the books, such as teaching supplements, humanities, and social sciences, but they are classified according to the category of the publishing house.

Aunt Zhang couldn't understand: "With this classification method, can customers find books?"

Boss Shi also took a look around and found that the best-selling supplementary books in general bookstores are generally not available. He couldn't help asking: "It is said that students make the most money. Why doesn't your boss include practice test papers?"

Kaixin explained: "Our brother Song said that if we want to open a Wenqing bookstore that is different from others, we should not sell teaching supplementary books like those popular bookstores. Choose those famous publishing houses. Brother Song said, this is called Gao... What is Gao Gao?"

Mao Shi happened to pass by, and he heard the words and reminded: "It's called Gao Bige."

"Yes, it's Gao Bige." Happy scratched his scalp and smiled embarrassingly, "Brother Song said, only in this way can the brand of Shadow Bookstore be sold."

"But can this make money?" Boss Shi roughly understood, but he didn't quite agree with this approach. "Would it be a little risky? You are so strict in the selection of books, if customers can't find the books they want, I won't be coming after that."

Kaixin said: "Brother Song said that now that the physical bookstore industry is in a downturn, most customers prefer to buy books online. Even if they buy a bunch of supplementary books, they may not be able to make much money. In this market environment, If you want to make a name for yourself, you have to find another way.”

Boss Shi really deserves to be a businessman, he knows everything.He looked around mysteriously, pointed to the Duobaoge shelf, and asked, "Those things are the trails?"

Nodding with a happy smile: "One of the paths."

"Wouldn't selling books become a piggyback?" Aunt Zhang also gradually understood.I just saw that the two little girls bought such a bunch of "useless" things. If they are buying books, at least they can buy seven or eight books, right?

Happy just smiled and didn't answer.In fact, he doesn't quite understand the psychology of young people nowadays. He died earlier. If he is still alive, he is about the same age as Aunt Zhang. Although he has a cute face, his ideas are completely different from today's young people. Same.What he just said was also heard from Song Lan, and he couldn't really understand why Song Ge said that doing so would attract customers.

Anyway, as long as he does what Song Ge said, Song Ge is a person who wants to do big things, so it's always right to listen to him!

Boss Shi and Aunt Zhang walked around and got a general understanding of the general situation of the Shadow Bookstore. Aunt Zhang couldn't help but ask, "Is this 'Brother Song''s idea?" "Brother Song", could it be that young man in a suit and leather shoes from before?

Kaixin nodded: "It's him, he is... Brother Xie's cousin." Kaixin kept Song Lan's orders in mind, and kept declaring that Song Lan was Xie Daonian's distant cousin.

"Cousin?" Aunt Zhang looked a little strange.

"Is there a problem?" Kaixin's eyes widened.

"No, it's nothing, I was thinking too much," Aunt Zhang laughed, "I misunderstood..."

Happy: "???" So what did you misunderstand?
