Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

Chapter 108 Bookstore Plan

There are only half-day classes in the morning on Saturdays. When school ends at noon, the school gate is full of people and traffic.

The bicycle repair shop opposite the school gate is very popular, and they charge money for using a pump.

"Brother, Xiaoyu and I are leaving first!"

Zhang Xiuxiu pulled Zhang Xiaoyu past the Class 2 classroom, shouted at Zhang and his party from the door, and disappeared.

Xu Guansheng was waiting for Liu Bo at the door, and Liu Bo was waiting for Zhang Yixing and Zhao Jinmai.

The bicycles were all parked in the shed, regardless of class. It was very empty now, and broken wheels and handlebars could still be seen on the ground.

"Zhang Yixing!"

When walking towards the carport, there was a shout from the teaching building.

Zhang and his party looked back and saw Wang Zhenzhen's father carrying her down the stairs. Wang Zhenzhen waved her hand vigorously in this direction.

After stopping and waving to Wang Zhenzhen, Zhang and his party shouted: "Slow down on the road!"

Wang Zhenzhen said loudly: "I know!"

Waving goodbye, the four people pushed their bicycles and left the school. They didn't get on the bicycles until they were out of the school gate.

In the shops on the roadside, "Infatuation is Absolute" is playing, and some shops are playing "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".

After passing through the already bustling streets of the city, when we left the city, our horizons suddenly broadened.

In the endless fields, the land that had been harvested from corn had been plowed, winter wheat was planted, and farmers were applying manure to the fields.

Liu Bo and Xu Guansheng chased each other in front, howling like wolves, while Zhang Yixin and Zhao Jinmai followed behind.

Occasionally, students passing by would greet me proudly while sitting on their tricycle at home.

It was only a dozen miles from the school to Zhangjiatang, and Zhang and his party arrived home in half an hour.

When Xiao Huang saw the shadow of Zhang and his party, he rushed out and followed the bicycle, wagging his tail vigorously.

Back home, Li Hongyu came back from the factory early and prepared the meal.

In fact, she didn't have to come back originally. Mrs. Guo was taking care of her family, and the two children were not hungry.

But the child finally came back for the weekend, so Li Hongyu naturally wanted to cook two more delicious dishes with her own hands.

"Eat more and you will lose weight!"

While pushing the dishes towards Zhang and his sisters, Li Hongyu chattered.

Zhang Yixing laughed and said, "No way, I think I'm even fatter!"

"Look at your grandma, she must have lost weight!"

Mrs. Guo nodded, "Slim down a bit!"

It seems that Zhang and his party are unable to refute this conclusion regardless of the facts.

Watching Zhang and his party eating, Li Hongyu went to get some fruit again. Now there is almost no end of fruit at home.

It's not that they were bought, but given by people in the village. Many people in the village have fruit trees in their yards. Once they are ripe, someone will send them to Zhang and his family's home, especially those old people who receive oil and noodles during the New Year, and they I can't give in at all.

"Bring more fruits when you go to school. If you have too many pomegranates, they will go bad if you leave them out any longer!"

Zhang Yixing nodded, "Okay, I'll get more when the time comes and share it when I go back." The corn had just been harvested during the National Day, and there were corn cobs drying on the roof and in the yard.

After eating, Li Hongyu went to the factory.

Mrs. Guo moved a maza and sat in the corn pile, holding the hand-cranked corn thresher to beat the corn kernels.

In fact, there is already an electric thresher at home. Zhang Yixing insisted on buying it, but the corn is not dry enough, and Mrs. Guo herself cannot use this machine.

The small pile of corn cobs at her feet was carefully selected by her one by one. There was not even a bug hole in it. It was for beating cornmeal and there was not much at all.

The rest will be beaten with motors and sold to the village grain collectors.

In the past, corn kernels were cracked directly by hand, and a screwdriver was used to crack a slit on the corn cob. The two corn kernels could be unscrewed by twisting each other, which was very labor-intensive.

Despite the sudden changes in life, Zhang Guangzong and Li Hongyu have not yet changed their ideas, and they are still used to doing some tasks in the old way.

For example, if Zhang Yixing had not insisted on buying a washing machine or a corn thresher at home, they would not have bought it at all.

In their eyes, it doesn’t matter how much effort it takes to wash a few pieces of clothes. People just work!

Zhang Xiuxiu picked up corn cobs nearby, smashed them open with a hammer to see if there were any bugs inside, and if there were any, she would just throw them into the chicken cob. Occasionally, she would throw one next to the ant nest.

Zhang Yixing looked at Zhang Xiuxiu and said, "Go do your homework first!"

Zhang Xiuxiu curled her lips, threw down the hammer, went back to the house, picked up her schoolbag, and ran out of the door to Zhang Xiaoyu's house.

Zhang and his party went to the study room, turned on the computer, logged into QQ, and discussed a new business plan with Hu Weishi: a bookstore.

"Open a bookstore?" After seeing the plan proposed by Zhang Yixing, Hu Weishi didn't quite understand.

Currently, the books published by DreamWeaver Culture are sold through large bookstores such as Xinhua Bookstore, as well as small bookstores connected with booksellers from various places.

Bookstores that only sell books actually have very low profitability, and they are also facing the impact of online platforms such as Dangdang.com.

Even for Xinhua Bookstore, the bulk of its profit is not from selling books, but from its monopoly of teaching assistants.

In addition, Xinhua Bookstore is also a big player in commercial real estate. Wherever Xinhua Bookstore is opened, the building is basically its property, and the rental and advertising revenue are also huge.

Just selling books means death, so in order to expand profits, some small bookstores will personally reprint and sell pirated books. This is one of the reasons why pirated books are repeatedly banned.

The operators have all ended up participating in piracy, what can we do?

Zhang Yixing clicked on the keyboard, "It can't be said to be a bookstore. To be precise, it is a cultural derivatives store. The company's cultural peripheral products will be sold in the store, and books are just one of the products."

After thinking about it, Zhang Yixing continued to explain:

“Plus, there are benefits to this.

First, we can establish our own fixed publicity base to facilitate the promotion of our authors and works and products in the future. We can even hold author reading sessions in the future without having to pay extra to book the venue;

Secondly, build your own sales channels to get rid of over-reliance on bookstores and booksellers, so that if disputes arise in the future, you will not be passive and take precautions;

Thirdly, the rise of e-commerce is an inevitable trend. These bookstores in various cities will also be our self-operated storage and delivery warehouses in the future;

Fourth, this is also a disguised curb on pirated works. Now many people want to buy genuine products but can’t find anywhere;

Fifth, taking advantage of the fact that there is a lot of money in the account and the house prices are low, buying commercial real estate is a sure-fire deal. "

There was no reply from Hu Weishi for a long time. It took several minutes before a message came back, "I don't know how many things you have in your mind. I can understand the rest, but are you so sure that e-commerce is the future?"

E-commerce is certainly the future.

Almost all industries are about to face the impact of online e-commerce.
