Chapter 149: Start selling tissue packs
"Please sit on the chair and read a book." Gu Xiaoyou reminded softly when he saw that several guests were standing in front of the shelves and would not move.
Only then did the guest come to his senses, closed the book in his hand, and said sheepishly: "The story is so good that I was fascinated by it without realizing it. I will buy the book right away."
Gu Xiaoyou glanced at the cover of the book and said with a smile: "This is the first volume, and this story has been published in the fourth volume."
"There are four volumes out?" The guest looked at the shelf. Sure enough, next to "The Legend of Aotian Tiangang Volume 1", there was volume 2, and underneath there were volumes 3 and 4.
The guest directly took the other three books in his hand and said boldly: "I bought all four of them."
"Okay, please go to the counter to pay." Gu Xiaoyou led the customer to the counter. The clerk quickly wrapped the book in oil paper, tied it with a hemp rope, and handed it to the customer.
The customer took out the money from his pocket to pay, took the paper bag, and walked away briskly.
Gu Xiaoyou invited other customers to sit down. Some bought books and paid like the first customer, while others were fascinated by books and sat down on the chairs to read.
Several customers walked into the bookstore sporadically, choosing books among the bookshelves.
"You saw how I entertained you, now it's up to you to greet the guests." Gu Xiaoyou ordered.
"Yes." The waiters responded, imitating Gu Xiaoyou's example, and gently reminded customers that they could go to the tables and chairs to read.
Some customers ask questions, and the clerks are able to answer them.
Occasionally, there were a few soft inquiries in the book club, which were basically the sounds of flipping through books.
Gu Xiaoyou quite liked the atmosphere of the book club, but unfortunately she had other things to be busy with. Seeing that the guys could handle it, she gave them instructions and went to the paper shop next door.
When she arrived at the paper shop, Mrs. Zhou and her assistant were moving the papers on one shelf to the next shelf.
Seeing Gu Xiaoyou come in, Zhou asked with concern: "How is the book club? Are there many people?"
"It's okay, there aren't many people." Gu Xiaoyou replied casually.
"There aren't many people." Mrs. Zhou said with some worry: "There aren't many people in the book club, how can we get back the money?"
Pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and money for hiring scholars have all been spent.
"It's okay, our book club has the only story about Chaoyang Kingdom, and there will be a readership in the future." Gu Xiaoyou looked full of confidence and said jokingly: "There will be more people coming to buy books by then, maybe they will come to the book club.
It’s time to update.”
"Reply?" Zhou asked puzzledly.
"Oh, it's just to urge the book editor to write the book." Gu Xiaoyou explained.
Zhou felt a little relieved. Since Gu Xiaoyou was confident, she wasn't worried anymore.
"This shelf has been vacated for you, do you want to put tissue packs on it?" Ms. Zhou took away the last box of paper on the shelf and asked softly.
"Yes, I asked the boys to make a lot of tissue bags, and I asked Ding Xiucai and the others to draw some patterns so they can be put on the shelves." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll put the tissue pack on the shelf right now. Where can I get it?" Zhou asked positively.
She now hopes that the two paper shops will make more money and make up for the money from Gu Xiaoyou Medical Center and Book Club.
"It's in the backyard. I'll go with you." Gu Xiaoyou led Zhou toward the backyard and opened the door of the small room. There were tissue packs neatly placed in the room.
"I put them according to color. I'll put them on the shelves later and put them according to color."
"Okay." Mrs. Zhou responded, and she and Gu Xiaoyou put the tissue box in the carton together.
A box was quickly filled. Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou each picked up one end of the box and walked to the front hall.
"Xiaoyou, how do you plan to price the tissue packs?" Zhou asked as she walked.
"Fifteen cents."
"Fifteen cents?" Zhou said in surprise: "The paper towel only costs thirty cents. The tissue bag is so small. If it sells for fifteen cents, will anyone buy it?"
"Don't worry, even though the tissue bag is small, what does it cost? It's colored paper and it's made of drawings. It's very reasonable to sell it for fifteen cents." Gu Xiaoyou explained patiently.
She also wanted to sell the tissue paper bags with pictures at a higher price, but seeing that Zhou couldn't accept it, she decided to set the price at fifteen cents for the time being. When more people buy in the future, someone can customize the pattern.
She will raise the price again.
Gu Xiaoyou thought with some regret, and put the tissue packs on the shelves with Mrs. Zhou.
"Brother, you put the table at the door, then go to the room to get some tissues and wrap them up." Gu Xiaoyou ordered as he put the shelves on the shelves.
Zhou knew that Gu Xiaoyou had another promotional idea, so she pulled the box towards her: "Go and do your work, I'll just put it on the shelves."
"Okay, it just so happens that I have to make a simple shelf." Gu Xiaoyou put the remaining two packs of tissue bags on the shelf and went to the backyard.
After the waiter set the table and moved two boxes of tissue bags, Gu Xiaoyou came over with two empty boxes.
She put the box on the table and asked the clerk to help her hold it steady. Gu Xiaoyou took a paper knife from behind the counter, used the paper knife to tilt the box into two, and put the cut box on the table.
The previous display is just two simple shelves.
"Put the tissue packets in it." Gu Xiaoyou cut another box and ordered, and together with the clerk, he put the tissue packets in the carton shelf.
When Mrs. Zhou came out of the shop, she saw the four small shelves made by Gu Xiaoyou and praised: "I didn't expect that boxes could be made into shelves."
"There are shelves like this in my hometown." Gu Xiaoyou explained with a smile. During supermarket promotions in the past, merchants used boxes cut in half to make shelves like this, which not only saves the trouble of placing them on the shelves, but also makes them easy to display.
.
She still had to make the cartons and cut them herself, which was a lot of trouble.
While Gu Xiaoyou and Mrs. Zhou were talking, they put the tissue packs in place.
She took out a piece of cardboard from behind the counter, formed it into the shape of a trumpet, put it in front of her mouth, and shouted: "Look, look, look at the new tissue packs launched by Youlian Paper Shop. All the passers-by came here
Take a look."
Gu Xiaoyou's voice spread through the "speaker", and the customers who came to shop on the street gathered around him curiously.
“What is a tissue bag?”
"I do know about paper drawers, they are very useful."
“What kind of paper is in the tissue bag?”
The guests started asking questions, and Gu Xiaoyou cleared his throat and said into the loudspeaker: "The paper towel bag contains small sheets of toilet paper. You may mistake the paper towel bag for a simple paper towel, but the paper towel bag contains
Bags are more convenient to carry than paper towels. You can stuff them into your sleeves and take them away. Moreover, the appearance of tissue bags is more beautiful, with various patterns. The tissue bags are placed on the table. Everyone can take a look. "
