I'm a marquis in Datang

"Yes!"

Jin Wuque knew that Du Qi was a vigorous and resolute person.

A decision has been made and will be implemented soon.

Although in his heart he disapproved of Du Qi opening a bookstore, but Du Qi had already made up his mind, so there was 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 small.

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 group, 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.

Qianzailai'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 looked at the store first.The size of this bookstore is quite large.

The most spacious, there are rows of bookshelves standing upright, with many books placed on them.

The inside of the bookstore was also kept spotless.

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 of Qian Zailai is already in his forties.

He was wearing a long robe that had been washed white, and his temples were already gray and weathered.He was tall, extremely thin, with a hint of paleness on his face, and his mental state was very bad.

This bookstore is all that I have spent my money on.

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 sorry for your bookstore.

not interested. "

"Ugh…"

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."

When Qian Zailai heard it, he was taken aback for a moment.

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 you make up for it, will soon lose all your money. Compared with other bookstores, your bookstore must be competitive without competitiveness, and have no foundation. How can you make money? It is said that if you continue to operate this bookstore, you will definitely lose money."

brush!

When Qian Zailai heard the words, his complexion changed slightly, and even his body trembled slightly.

He had already thought about Du Qi's words.

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 is not willing 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?"

"There are very few people who buy, and there is no business."

"Speaking of popular novels, do you have popular novels in your shop?"

"I don't have any."

"Without 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.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spit out from Qian Zailai's mouth.

As soon as his legs went limp, his body was unsteady, 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 passion.

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, his eyes widened, and he took another look at Du Qi.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 knew 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 don't want to be reconciled, and keep going. Sigh, now it's time to let go."

There was endless loneliness in his voice.

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."
