Jin Wuque nodded and replied: "My lord, I also know someone. And this person came to me this morning, hoping that I can support him so that his bookstore can tide over the difficulties. It¡¯s just that I refused. Because investing money into the bookstore now is a waste of money.¡±
Du Qidao: "Who is this person?"
Jin Wuque replied: "This man's name is Qian Zailai, and he runs a bookstore in West Market. However, his bookstore is full of outdated novels and some classic books. This kind of bookstore is dying, and it is almost out of business. .¡±
Du Qidao: "Do you know where he lives?"
Jin Wuque said: "My son's plan, is he going to visit Qian Zailai?"
"yes!"
Du Qi nodded and answered.
Jin Wuque said: "Young master, there is no need to visit his residence. Because most of the money is in his bookstore. Even at night, he has to transcribe some books and write some classics. "The Analects of Confucius", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", etc., we can go directly to his bookstore."
Du Qidao: "In that case, then go to his bookstore. Make arrangements, and we will go directly there."
"yes!"
Jin Wuque knew that Du Qi was a vigorous and resolute person.
A decision has been made and it will be implemented soon.
Although he does not approve of Du Qi opening a bookstore in his heart, Du Qi has already made up his mind, so there is no other way. What's more, even if Du Qi fails to open a bookstore, the loss of money will not be too great.
After all, the cost of running a bookstore is not large.
Jin Wuque immediately went to make arrangements, and after everything was settled properly, he and Du Qi went straight to the West Market in a carriage without any further delay.
The bookstores in West Market are also one of the West Market's entourages, and there are many of them. These bookstores are almost all together. Although such a store is convenient for people who come to buy books, it is actually extremely competitive for the operators.
Unless it has its own characteristics, it will be difficult to continue to operate.
Qian Zailai's bookstore is called "Zailai Bookstore". It's a pity that there are zero readers in the store, and there is no one else except for the money.
After Du Qi entered, he first looked at the store. The area of ??this bookstore is quite wide, with rows of bookshelves standing upright, and many books are placed on them.
The bookstore was also cleaned spotlessly.
It's just that many of the books here are mostly old books such as "The Analects of Confucius", "Tao Te Ching", "Book of Shang Jun", although these books can increase knowledge, the problem is that the main books in West Market are popular novels Category, not classics and history. And such books can be found in Dongshi, especially the books in Dongshi are of high quality, which is incomparable to Qian Zailai's books.
However, when the money comes here again, there are no popular books that can support the sky. So when he came to the bookstore again, not many people came, and it was not easy to operate.
The age when Qian came back is already in his forties.
He was wearing a long robe that had been washed white, and his temples were already grey, with a weathered look. He was tall, extremely thin, with a hint of paleness on his face, and his mental state was very bad.
In this bookstore, I spent all my money and came back again.
As soon as Qian Zailai saw Jin Wuque coming, he hurriedly greeted him, rubbed his hands together, and said excitedly, "Treasurer Jin, why did you come to the bookstore? Could it be that you are willing to subsidize me and help my bookstore revive?" .¡±
"no!"
Jin Wuque shook his head and said seriously, "Old Qian, I'm not interested in your bookstore."
"well¡¡"
The look of hope on Qian Zailai's face disappeared completely in an instant. Even when he was standing, his body trembled slightly, with a helpless expression on his face.
Immediately, Qian Zailai regained his composure, with a smile still on his face, and asked: "Then shopkeeper Jin, what do you want to do when you come to my bookstore?"
Jin Wuque turned sideways, pointed at Du Qi, and said, "This is my son. He is interested in your bookstore."
After Qian Zailai heard it, he was taken aback for a while.
Immediately, he came back to his senses and understood Du Qi's identity, and quickly said: "It turns out that Mr. Du is in person. I don't know that Mr. Du is here today, but he wants to sponsor my bookstore. Please rest assured Mr. Du, I am now There is a lack of operating funds. As long as these funds are replenished, the bookstore can continue to operate without any trouble."
Du Qi said lightly: "Your bookstore, even if the funds are replenished, will soon be closed again.?? Lost all money. Compared with other bookstores, if your bookstore is competitive but not competitive, and has no solid foundation, how can you make money. If you continue to operate this bookstore, you will definitely lose money. "
brush!
When Qian came back to hear the words, his complexion changed slightly, and even his body trembled slightly.
Du Qi's words, he had already thought about it.
It's just that he doesn't want to face reality, and he doesn't want to give up his years of hard work. You know, he has been running the bookstore for six or seven years. At the beginning, the business was good. It's just that later, the business got worse and worse, and now it's beyond the means, and he needs to subsidize it himself.
However, the money came back unwilling to give up.
So I have been struggling to support it.
Du Qi looked at Qian Zailai who clenched his fists and looked mournful, and said, "Speaking carefully, the books you manage are just this batch of classic books, such as "Laozi", "Shangshu", "Book of Changes" and so on. , you just let people copy it, or you copied it yourself, but there is no annotation by famous experts, no one explains the specific situation of the book, so you lack the background, who will buy it?"
"If there are very few buyers, there will be no business."
"Speaking of popular novels, do you have popular novels in your store?"
"Naturally there is none."
"If there are no popular books, no one will buy them. No matter which one, you have not managed well. Under such a premise, if you want to maintain it, you can only go from bad to worse, and eventually close to bankruptcy."
Du Qi said: "It is not easy for you to maintain until now."
Ruthless words are like a knife, piercing into Qian Zailai's heart, making Qian Zailai extremely uncomfortable.
pedal! pedal!
He even, unable to stabilize his figure, staggered back two steps. In particular, Du Qi was merciless and exposed the predicament he was facing. Qian Zailai's whole body was hit, and his already sluggish expression became even more heaving under the emotional agitation.
Qi and blood kept rising.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood spit out from Qian Zailai's mouth.
His legs went limp, his body couldn't stand upright, and he fell to the ground in an instant, his breath even more sluggish. At this moment, the money came again, and his face was full of despair.
In those eyes, there were crystal tears.
The bookstore is his painstaking effort.
The bookstore is his sustenance.
Now being mercilessly criticized by Du Qi's words, Qian Zailai's whole person is extremely depressed.
After Jin Wuque saw it, he widened his eyes and glanced at Du Qi again. My young master, this is too powerful. After talking about money, he fell to the ground and vomited blood.
This situation is simply unheard of and unseen. He was worried that the money would come again, so he ran up quickly, helped him to get the money again, and said, "If the money comes again, it's okay."
Qian Zailai shook his head, resting his hands on the bookshelf, barely standing still. He was extremely sluggish, and said: "Treasurer Jin, Mr. Du, I'm not feeling well, and it's hard for me to receive you, please go back."
Jin Wuque looked at Du Qi.
He is clear about Du Qilai's intentions, this is a bookstore that wants to get the money and come back.
Du Qi looked at Qian Zailai, who was lonely and miserable, and said lightly: "Qian Zailai, you are so decadent. Could it be that you are so depressed? Is your bookstore not going to continue?"
Qian Zaitai said: "I don't have the ability, and I have long been incapable of running a bookstore. It's just that I'm not reconciled, and I keep going. Sigh, now it's time to let go."
In his voice, there was endless loneliness.
Du Qi said: "You really don't have much ability, but you have a tough temperament, like books, and are willing to run a bookstore. So I can help you and bring your bookstore back to life. You can even make the bookstore the most popular in Chang'an City. bookstore."
When Qian Zailai heard it, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled, and said, "It's not easy, Mr. Du, you don't have to. I've been running a bookstore for so many years, and I know it's not easy."
Du Qi said lightly: "I can!"
Two words, full of courage.
It also showed Du Qi's self-confidence. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
