Blossoms of Rebirth

With fifteen minutes left before eight o'clock, Shengtang got off the plane early.

Because Qingfeng Bookstore is just downstairs, the others are not in a hurry. They can just get off the plane normally at 8 o'clock and go downstairs to help move the books.

Sheng Tang carried the book into Qingfeng Bookstore. There were several students buying books in the bookstore. Zhou Guoqiang's wife Fang Ping was busy there. Zhou Guoqiang was still sitting at the door, drinking tea and reading.

"Brother Zhou, you are living a very carefree life. You just let your sister-in-law work alone while you enjoy the happiness here."

Fang Ping turned to greet Sheng Tang Xiaoxiao. Zhou Guoqiang put away the book, looked at the bag in his hand, and said with a smile: "It seems that the sales were good on the first day!"

Sheng Tang lit a cigarette for him and said, "Hey, it's not bad. The main thing is that Brother Zhou's book is good!"

After a while of bragging, Sheng Tang took out the money and then listed the six books on politics for the postgraduate entrance examination.

"Brother Zhou, all the test papers for CET-4 and CET-6 were sold yesterday. I only have these six books left for the postgraduate entrance examination. The total is 610. Please order."

Zhou Guoqiang took the money, counted it while holding a cigarette in his mouth, and then took out two hundred coins from his drawer and handed it over: "You can just take the commission away from now on and give me the rest."

Sheng Tang didn't answer, and said with a smile: "That won't work. Let's go to the same code. I work for Brother Zhou, and I have to let Brother Zhou pay the money."

Then he picked up the change on the table, counted one hundred and eighty change, and came out, "Selling books at night, change is convenient."

Zhou Guoqiang was stunned for a moment, and then took the two hundred yuan back.

"You kid..."

A total of 610 was sold. According to the commission of three points, Shengtang could get 183. Zhou Guoqiang was generous for the first time and gave him 200 directly.

He couldn't open his mouth to discuss any more terms.

"You can just leave these six books in the school and continue to sell them. If you have any more, take them back."

Zhou Guoqiang took a sip of tea and took a look at the postgraduate entrance examination politics: "But the school has just started, and CET-4 and CET-6 are indeed better selling points."

Sheng Tang smiled and shook his head: "Actually, politics for the postgraduate entrance examination is also easy to sell. There are so many students taking the postgraduate entrance examination, and out of ten people, five or six want to buy it. It's just that it's too late for them to start self-study, and I'm too lazy to wait."

"..."

Zhou Guoqiang was stunned, and thought to himself, "You are lazy. You are not afraid of hard work and trouble. You carry books back and forth to work part-time. You are hardworking. You think you are late for self-study. Isn't your target group for selling books the same people who are taking postgraduate entrance examinations?"

So he laughed and scolded: "Although I haven't gone to college, I also know that except for the days when the postgraduate entrance exams are taken, students who take the postgraduate entrance exams have to study on their own during the whole year when the dormitory is closed. According to what you said, you don't plan to sell them in the future.

Read the book?"

"For sale, but I can't wait that late. Wouldn't it be nice to find a female classmate to talk about life and ideals in the middle of the night?"

"Damn, you kid!"

Zhou Guoqiang blew out a puff of cigarette, his eyes full of envy: "It's better to be young!"

"Brother Zhou, don't talk nonsense, be careful sister-in-law thinks too much!"

Fang Ping was asking students to buy books. She smiled when she heard Sheng Tang's words and didn't take it seriously. Sheng Tang took out a notebook from his book bag and said: "Brother Zhou, I gave the number of books bought and sold last night."

I’ve written it all down, Brother Zhou, please sign it for me!”

"Why, I still can't trust you, Brother Zhou?"

Although he said this, Zhou Guoqiang still happily picked up the pen and signed. After a casual glance, he also saw the date recorded on it, the type of books taken, the number of books sold, etc., which was very detailed.

"This is not a question of whether you believe it or not, Brother Zhou. They say that a good brain is worse than a bad pen. If you don't remember it, you may forget it someday. If I open my mouth like a lion, Brother Zhou will not suffer?"

This was said in a very grand manner, and Zhou Guoqiang felt comfortable listening to it. In fact, when Tang Dynasty made this record, he did not have to worry about it. The brothers were still settling accounts. It would be really boring to argue over selling more or less books at the end of the year.

"Okay, you might as well take a note."

Zhou Guoqiang threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and asked again: "What books are you going to pick up today?"

"Just take the real test questions of Level 4 and Level 6."

"You don't really want to give up the postgraduate entrance examination materials, do you?"

As a bookstore owner, Zhou Guoqiang is very aware of how big the postgraduate entrance examination book market of Han University is. It was better during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but he was ready to give up on this market before it even started. What a business genius!

Sheng Tang waved his hands indifferently and said, "We'll talk about that later. I think it's very profitable to just sell the real test papers for CET-4 and CET-6! If we really sell postgraduate entrance examination materials in the future, I'll probably hire a few people!"

"..."

Zhou Guoqiang was speechless for a while, but he soon let go. He thought to himself that he was just a freshman. He was probably so happy that he made almost 200 yuan yesterday. How could he have any thoughts of becoming bigger and stronger?

Originally, after Zhou Guoqiang went back last night, he was still thinking that if Shengtang's stall in Han University was too big and the effect was very good, the relationship between the two would be tilted in the future. Then Shengtang would lower the price or bypass him to get the goods.

No, so he wanted to deliberately suppress the amount of books he published so that he could sell them, but not let him sell as much as he wanted, which served the purpose of always checking, balancing and controlling him.

Now it seems that it is completely unnecessary. The young man has not started working for two days, but he is thinking about recruiting people to enjoy his fortune. This kind of uncle style will definitely not work well!

Besides, it’s okay that he only sells real test papers for Level 4 and Level 6. After all, the Taoyuan Bookstore is closed, and postgraduate entrance examination students from Han University who want to buy professional course materials can only come to him.

"Okay, it's up to you! How many copies do you want to take this time?"

"One hundred copies each of the real test questions for Level 4 and Level 6!"

"Two hundred copies?"

Zhou Guoqiang glanced outside and said, "Why didn't you see the bicycle I asked you to push away yesterday? I don't have a three-wheeler here, how can you get it back?"

Sheng Tang smiled and said, "It's okay. People in our dormitory are surfing the Internet in the Deep Water Blue Room upstairs. I'll let them help later."

Zhou Guoqiang handed over a cigarette, Sheng Tang clamped it on his ear, lit it for him, and asked: "Brother Zhou, do you know the owner of Taoyuan Bookstore?"

"We know each other, but we're not too familiar. What's wrong?"

"I heard from my classmates that this boss has some tricks. I'm worried about what I should do if he finds out that I take books from Brother Zhou and causes trouble for Brother Zhou in the future."

"Haha, he dares!"

Even though Zhou Guoqiang is a book seller, he has been in the society for many years and has long been a knife-edge expert. Moreover, he is very familiar with everyone in the commercial street. Not to mention that he can always respond to everyone, but it is not easy to attract a group of acquaintances.

questionable.

"He's good at your school. No one is afraid of him when he comes here."

Shengtang nodded and said, "Then I'll be relieved."

Zhou Guoqiang glanced at him and said, "I'm not very familiar with him, but I have friends who know him. Why don't you talk to someone so that he doesn't cause trouble for you in the future."

Sheng Tang smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Zhou, I can't do it in the commercial street, but I can do it in our school. I'm not afraid of him!"
