Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 295 Timing
This era does not pay attention to any decoration, let alone features.The bookstores all over the place have such a decoration and style, there is really nothing to visit.

Du Jinning turned around and then focused on the guests.

Those who sell things should analyze the needs of customers to see what goods are selling well and what goods are unsalable, so as to adjust the types of items they purchase and adjust their business strategies.

Although it took Yao Shuqi a year to prove that he is a very capable shopkeeper, people have different perspectives on things.As the owner, Du Jinning had to have his own considerations.

At this moment, there were eight or nine customers in the store. After Du Jinning stood for a while, he saw that four people were directly talking to her.At this time, it was the day when the finale of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was on sale. The last volume of the script had just been released for two days. After entering the store, these customers directly asked about the script, bought it and then left.

In addition to these four, there are two more who bought the script two days ago and came to ask the author if there is a new script.

Of the remaining two or three people, one came in to look around and then left; the other two spoke with foreign accents, and came in to select the Four Treasures of the Study, presumably students from the county or other places who had returned to their hometowns to take the government examination.

Yao Shuqi sent the guests away. Seeing that there were still two guests left, and the two men could greet them, he gave up, walked over, and apologized to Du Jinning, "Thank you, young master, for waiting for a long time."

Du Jinning waved his hand and asked, "How many customers usually buy scripts and other books, the Four Treasures of the Study, and calligraphy and painting?"

Yao Shuqi was taken aback.

Where did they do business in ancient times, analyze data as carefully as modern people?

However, as the shopkeeper, he works conscientiously, and he often comes to the most profitable bookstore in front of him, and he knows the situation of the bookstore well.

After making an estimate in his heart, he said: "The customers who buy the scripts are the most, accounting for about [-]%; the other books are [-]%, and the four treasures of the study are [-]%. These are the customers who often come to buy scripts. As for the buyers of calligraphy and paintings At least, it’s probably less than [-]%. But the situation is getting better now, word of mouth is coming up, everyone knows that the calligraphy and paintings in our shop are not expensive, but the quality is high, the author is also a little famous, and new products are added every month Every now and then, there will be regular customers coming to buy. The profit of calligraphy and painting is greater than that of selling books and the Four Treasures of the Study, and one transaction can equal the income of ten or so pens of books and the Four Treasures of the Study.”

Du Jinning nodded.

"Master." Yao Shuqi showed a flattering smile on his face, "Even if you don't come, I still have to write a letter to urge you. I think you saw it just now. Many people came to ask when the new storybook will be released. Our new storybook, Do you think it can be printed and sold earlier?"

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been talked about in the teahouse for more than a year, and it has been finished some time ago.Du Jinning didn't even have to think about it, he naturally wrote the sequel of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", filling the vacancy.

However, the principle she has always adhered to is that the scripts that are published must be taught in teahouses for a while, at least ten volumes before they are printed and shipped to various bookstores for sale.Only in this way can we ensure the grand occasion and profit of the teahouse full of seats; at the same time, it also plays a role in publicity-although it is not as good as before, the author of the story book "Jin Yong" has long been very famous for his two serialized long story books, and his book does not need publicity , there are many fans waiting in line to buy.But the hunger marketing strategy that everyone is looking forward to does not prevent Du Jinning from using it again and again.

At this time, seeing Yao Shuqi start to urge the script, Du Jinning also laughed: "It has been printed, and it will be delivered tomorrow."

Yao Shuqi was very surprised: "So fast?" He laughed embarrassedly, "Actually, that's what I said, it doesn't have to be sold now."

He is also in charge of the teahouse, and he has to guarantee the profit first.If because of his urging, Du Jinning was forced to sell the scriptures early and harm the interests of the teahouse, then his crime would be serious.

"As soon as the government examination is over, we will sell it." Du Jinning said, "There is a period of time between the completion of the examination and the release of the results. This period of time is a good time for us to expand the influence of the script."

Although she was a top student in her previous life, she also had many friends and classmates who were bad students.If the scumbags do not do well in the exam after the big exam, they will immediately indulge in the virtual world to escape reality.

There are online games in modern times, but not in ancient times.So why worry?Du Kang is not everyone's favorite, YY novels with powerful protagonists like story books are the best medicine for psychological trauma.

Yao Shuqi's eyes lit up, he applauded and said, "Good idea."

"At that time, you can hire some people to do publicity. The key point is that the inn is full of candidates. As for how to publicize, it is also a good idea to print out the introductions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" Okay, let the storytellers go to the inn to talk for half an hour for free, you can decide by yourself."

"Okay." Yao Shuqi nodded vigorously, his whole body seemed to be pumped with blood, and he was full of energy.

He also owns these bookstores.The books in the bookstore sold well, and his own income also increased.What's more, as a businessman, as long as the goods sell well and the business is booming, even if they don't make money, they will be excited.What they want is that sense of accomplishment.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'm going back, you pack up and go home." Du Jinning waved his hand and walked out.

"I'll see you off." Yao Shuqi caught up.

"No need." Du Jinning waved his hand, "It's only a few steps away, I won't be able to find a new home."

Where is Yao Shuqi willing to follow?He insisted on sending Du Jinning back to the small courtyard, and then he said goodbye and went home.

Yao Shuqi was very careful in handling affairs, and had already hired a woman to cook in the yard.When Du Jinning returned to the yard, the woman had already prepared all the meals.The people Yao Shuqi carefully selected are naturally good at craftsmanship, and the food served looks very delicious.

Du Jinning cleaned his hands, sat down and asked Lu Xiaobei who had just come back: "Mr. Huang, are they all right? How is the condition of the county hall?"

"It's very good. The gentlemen live in one yard, and the students live in the same yard. The family members or servants they bring, either live with them, or live in the servant's room at the back. They are all settled. County The environment of the hotel is good, and we sent people to book the rooms early, so the courtyards where we live are all very good.”

"That's good, I'll go see them tomorrow." Du Jinning nodded, "Wash your hands and sit down to eat."

Du Jinning is not a young master from a wealthy family, so he naturally wouldn't eat separately from Lu Xiaobei and Wang Fulai when eating, and made a fuss about it.She also invited the woman who came to cook, but she didn't know whether she was concerned about her status, or she didn't want to sit at the same table with the man, and she refused to sit at the table no matter what.Du Jinning asked Lu Xiaobei to pull out a little of every dish and let her eat in the kitchen.
