The heavens begin with Hongquan

Chapter 668 Guarding the idealism in my heart

Hearing Hong Kang's words, Wang Guolin didn't show much excitement.

He said, "You know what? You're not the first person to say that to me."

"But none of them could agree with me."

Hong Kang smiled and said, "What's the reason?"

"Is it because of the ratio of sharing? Or is it because of your persistence in idealism? Or is it because of feelings, ingenuity or something?"

Wang Guolin smiled dryly, while stroking the cat, his smile was a bit bitter.

"I've been living like this, so why talk about feelings and ingenuity..."

"I now feel that this stuff is pure bullshit..."

Ye Lanqiu couldn't help saying: "Old Wang, don't give up on yourself!"

"I thought you were a talent. The books you chose were much better than those recommended by those experts. Didn't many professors from China Normal University often come to your store..."

Wang Guolin laughed at himself: "Talent? Talent can open and close a bookstore?"

Ye Lanqiu comforted: "Is this just a profit model..."

Hong Kang asked: "What is the difference between you and those investors?"

Wang Guolin said: "In my opinion, bookstores essentially sell books, but now many large bookstores have regarded books as a secondary commodity, and are more concerned about cultural and creative products or coffee drinks. From the point of view, it is also more profitable than books."

Hong Kang said: "I don't care about these things, I just appreciate you as a person, as well as your taste and aesthetics, and I believe in your vision of book selection."

Wang Guolin quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't, don't, don't say that. If you do something like this, I'll just say that your investment like this will definitely lose everything."

"I'm not talking about purely relying on my feelings. I also hope that the bookstore can make a profit. I also want to open a bookstore to make money. It's just that I can't manage it well..."

Ye Lanqiu said: "No! The book you chose is very suitable for the tastes of readers of humanities and social sciences!"

Wang Guolin shook his head: "When I choose books, I may have my own set of logic, but the bookstore I opened has never exceeded 100 square meters..."

He's sober?

"I have never managed a large-scale bookstore project, sir, if you want to do that kind of bookstore chain... Uh, if you ask me for my opinion on book selection, no problem, I can provide some opinions, this does not exist What about charging or not..."

Paused, hesitated.

"But, I said but..."

"If you have invested a lot of money to do it, but it is the same as the capital-style bookstore on the side of the road, I suggest you not to do it..."

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can pretend that I didn't say anything. Anyway, my attitude is like this..."

Hong Kang chuckled: "The shopkeeper Wang is quick to talk, and he is indeed a man of temperament."

"The essence of a bookstore is to sell books. Cultural feelings can only assist the profit model. Without a profit model, no matter how strong the feelings are, it will be useless."

Wang Guolin laughed happily this time, and he felt that what this man said made sense.

He thought for a while, and said: "Some people say that the pace of this era is too fast, and there are fewer people who read books. In fact, there are not no readers, and there are not too few."

"The key is how to open a bookstore and how to do business. People who read books can talk about their feelings and use their feelings to promote the purchase of books, but bookstore operators can't just use their feelings to open a store and sell books."

"Actually, I have also paid attention to the survival model of many other bookstores. The better one is the cultural tourism model of Nanjing Pioneer Bookstore, but it costs too much..."

Ye Lanqiu said: "I think your current model, Mr. Wang, is good. The customer base is not the mass but the minority."

Hong Kang said: "Treasurer Wang, let me raise a few points, listen to them."

"First of all, the location of the bookstore is Tanhualin."

Ye Lanqiu frowned and said, "Tan Hualin? The commercial atmosphere is too strong there, right?"

Wang Guolin's eyes flashed, and he said: "That's just right, the cultural atmosphere of the bookstore can dilute this feeling, which means that there is a need for a bookstore, doesn't it?"

"But the rent in that area..."

Hong Kang said with a smile: "The reason why I said that is because I happen to have a shop there. It's not too big, and there are only two shops. I don't charge your rent, just convert it into a share ratio. Don't worry, you have Absolute controlling stake, and the layout and operation are all according to your ideas."

Ye Lanqiu couldn't help turning her head.

Mr. Hong has a shop here?He is from Jiangcheng?
Facing such favorable conditions, Wang Guolin smiled noncommittally: "And then?"

Hong Kangdao: "Then, my suggestion is that the selection of books should be more niche, and the books should be mainly [thoughts, academics, humanities], and some introductory and common popular books should not be selected."

The old man who painted the painting didn't know when he was listening, he said: "This shopkeeper originally had few customers, so if you come here like this, there will be fewer people?!"

Hong Kang said unhurriedly: "The shopkeeper Wang has opened a bookstore for more than ten years, and he should have realized that it is no longer just buying and selling books. A good bookstore should make progress together with its readers. The era of bookstores fighting alone It has passed…"

Wang Guolin folded his arms and leaned forward.

What this person said was also what he was thinking about during the closing of the warehouse. He expected this person to say something useful.

"Treasurer Wang, you want to focus on books, and you don't want to run those capital-based bookstores, so you can make full use of the publishing contacts you have accumulated over the past ten years..."

"In addition to books, we also do things related to content production and publishing at the same time - cooperate with well-known domestic publishing brands to build a communication platform between publishers, publishing brands, authors, translators and readers..."

Wang Guolin's eyes lit up immediately.

This idea is very good. It connects the vague things in his mind during this period of time.

His mood improved and his body relaxed.

He hehe smiled: "I don't even know your name now, you just tell me such a good idea, you won't be afraid that I won't agree to you, and then do it yourself!"

Hong Kang said with a smile: "Some things don't have to be obtained, as long as you can appreciate them, it's good. When I appreciate them, it's a kind of pleasure."

The tone of these words was a bit condescending, but when Hong Kang said it, everyone didn't feel the slightest difference.

…………

Leaving the Sunshine Wharf, Hong Kang took out all the cash from the inner space, fearing that it would not be enough, he also took out part of the gold for Ye Lanqiu to exchange, bought the shop in Tan Hualin, and registered Ye Lanqiu's name.

That's right, when Hong Kang promised Wang Guolin earlier, it was a empty promise.

But now there is a shop.

With the banknote ability clearing the way, the procedures are handled very quickly.

After Ye Lanqiu got the certificate of property rights and got a lawyer to draw up the contract, all it took was Wang Guolin's signature.

In less than a day, the location of Baicaoyuan's next store has been determined. After Wang Guolin asked someone to read the contract, he found that it was more relaxed than what he said verbally, so he signed his name.

After that, Hong Kang didn't care.

He doesn't care how the bookstore can be managed, he just admires that young man named Wang Guolin.

Continue on the road until you reach the unmanned road.

Zhang Qiling jumped out suddenly, with a "clang clang", the ancient black gold saber came out of its sheath, and blocked it horizontally.

"boom!"

The metal slammed loudly, and sparks splashed from the blade.

"Someone is ambushing."

Wu Xie swept his eyes and his pupils constricted.

It's bullets, there's no gunfire, it's silenced.

When a person travels, he observes what he sees; when he travels, he observes what changes.

"Liezi"

　To be honest, I prefer the job of a librarian, but there is no library in our county, only Xinhua Bookstore. (Sweat!!) If it is not forced to make a living, I think it is good to open a small bookstore. In my spare time, I can gather and talk with friends~~
