The next day, the sun was shining brightly, the leaves on both sides of the road began to turn yellow, and the leaves of some trees gradually withered.

Autumn in Beijing has arrived unknowingly.

In Youlian Paper Shop.

Gu Xiaoyou stood in front of a table, watching the scholar from yesterday holding a brush and writing on white mulberry paper.

After he finished writing one, Gu Xiaoyou couldn't wait to pick up the business card and blew the ink on it: "Very good, just write it like this. You will write a hundred today. Fifty pieces of paper will be used.

Fifty sheets from the express station."

"Okay, Boss Gu," the scholar responded.

"It's okay if you can't finish writing. Just write as much as you can." Gu Xiaoyou thought for a while and added.

"I will arrange it, Boss Gu, please rest assured." The scholar said gently.

Seeing his confident look, Gu Xiaoyou encouraged him: "Then it's up to you, do your best."

"I'll meet later." The scholar saluted Gu Xiaoyou, returned to his seat, and started writing.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at it for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and waved to the boy.

"Boss, what do you want to tell me?" the boy asked respectfully.

"You help him cut the paper. When he finishes writing, you put it on the paper." Gu Xiaoyou ordered.

"Okay, boss." The boy responded, stood in front of the scholar's desk, and cut the white mulberry paper into pieces according to the size of the business card.

After Gu Xiaoyou gave some guidance, he returned to the backyard with confidence and took his servants to fold paper boxes and make paper drawings together.

The paper shop had business cards written by scholars and paper drawings made by servants. After having sufficient inventory, Gu Xiaoyou sent people to pack up the shop next to Youlian Paper Shop and put all the paper drawings on the shelves.

The paper drawing shop officially opened the next day, attracting many customers regardless of Xiaoyou's preferential treatment.

Gu Xiaoyou originally thought that the paper drawings were more expensive and would sell slower, but she never thought that the paper drawings on the shelves would be sold out on the same day as the paper shop.

In the evening, Gu Xiaoyou and Mrs. Zhou were checking the accounts in the room.

"I didn't expect the paper shop to be so profitable." Zhou said in surprise after counting the day's profits.

"I didn't expect that with this purchase volume, our paper pumps would be in limited supply." After all, there are two types of paper, and the boxes for the paper pumps have to be processed, which is more time-consuming and laborious.

"Then what if the customer can't buy it and won't come in the future?" Zhou asked worriedly, "Wouldn't it be bad to limit the quantity after only one day of operation?"

"No, whether it's toilet paper or paper towels, we are the only ones in Chaoyang Kingdom." Gu Xiaoyou said confidently: "As long as our quality is guaranteed, we are not afraid of not having customers."

"What you said makes sense." Zhou thought about Gu Xiaoyou's words carefully and said in agreement.

"Besides, we can provide reservations, just like a paper shop." Gu Xiaoyou continued.

"Yeah, why did I forget about making the reservation?" Zhou said cheerfully.

Gu Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "And we now have a courier station that can provide door-to-door delivery and charge delivery fees based on distance."

Gu Xiaoyou told Ms. Zhou the plan she had thought of, and Ms. Zhou's smile grew bigger and bigger as she listened. She praised with admiration: "Xiaoyou, you are really amazing. This way our business is connected and we can both make money."

money."

"Hey, business means being flexible. I'll find some business books for you later." Gu Xiaoyou raised his eyebrows and said proudly.

"Thank you, Xiaoyou, I will definitely learn more." Zhou replied with a smile.

"Let's start drawing out the business cards of the two shops tomorrow and let's calculate the shipping costs."

"Okay, I'll find the map of the capital."

Gu Xiaoyou and Mr. Zhou looked at the map and discussed the price before going back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, the paper shop opened again.

Mrs. Zhou and her servants put the paper on the shelf, and Gu Xiaoyou put the business cards of the two shops written by the scholar on the box on the counter for easy extraction.

While we were busy, several customers walked into the shop.

"Boss, do you still have paper drawings? Give me fifty."

"I want thirty."

"One hundred, give me one hundred."

When the guests heard other people's counting, they were afraid that they would not be able to buy it, so they started counting in a hurry.

Gu Xiaoyou was already prepared. He patted the counter and said loudly: "Please don't be anxious and listen to what I have to say."

The guests calmed down and focused their attention on Gu Xiaoyou's face.

"I know everyone wants to buy paper towels, but it takes time to make our paper boxes and toilet paper. Currently, we only sell five boxes per person at a time."

Before he finished speaking, the guests expressed their dissatisfaction: "How can five boxes be enough? My master's house only has three study rooms, and they are placed in every courtyard. Fifty boxes may not be enough."

"That's right. One box is enough to last three to five days, and five boxes is enough to last half a month. How can this be possible?"

"Five boxes is too little. There was no limit yesterday."

"Everyone, please be patient." Gu Xiaoyou calmly reassured: "Listen to me, although we have limited the number of purchases, we can provide reservation services. Just leave your address and deposit."

When the guests heard that reservations could be made, they looked at each other and discussed in a low voice.

One of the guests asked loudly: "Are there any gifts for booking?"

"Yes, for every fifty boxes, we will give you an extra box of tissue paper." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.

"That's pretty good."

"Yeah, it's more suitable than buying fifty boxes at a time."

Seeing that the customers' faces improved, Gu Xiaoyou added in time: "And we provide door-to-door delivery service. We charge service fees based on the distance, which will definitely save money, time and effort."

Upon hearing this, the customers became interested and asked about the delivery fee.

Zhou took out the ordered price list for their reference.

The guests gathered around to check and discuss with each other in low voices. Mrs. Zhou watched nervously, while Gu Xiaoyou took out pen and paper from under the counter and put them on the counter.

In less than half a cup of tea, a customer came forward and said, "I want to order a hundred copies and have them delivered to my door."

Gu Xiaoyou winked at Mrs. Zhou and handed over the pen and paper: "Okay, please leave your address and deposit, and it will be delivered to your door on time in five days."

The customer wrote down the address, happily paid for the deposit, took the two business cards given by Gu Xiaoyou, and walked away briskly.

After the first one, the second one followed. The remaining guests made reservations one after another and left the paper shop with smiles on their faces.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at the business card box with a small space and raised an eyebrow at Mrs. Zhou: "Sister Zhou, it's done."

"Yes." A happy smile appeared on Zhou's face, and she looked at Gu Xiaoyou and smiled.
