Chapter 244 Abandoned by the Times
A new week, a new day begins.
It is also the release day of the latest issue of "Shi Quan Shi Mei" magazine.
Early in the morning, the postal vehicle transported the magazines to a newsstand next to a bus.
It is said to be a newsstand, but in fact it has become a grocery store.
Inside and out are filled with toys, snacks, cigarettes and daily necessities. The newspapers and magazines that were once placed in the middle have been squeezed to the edge, and the number has decreased, and there are not many types.
Mainly local morning and evening papers.
No way!
The once popular paper reading has been abandoned by the times.
The book business can't go on.
Buying newspapers alone is no longer enough to survive!
The boss who is still in business has to think of other ways to make ends meet, mainly selling toys and snacks.
If it weren't for the postal regulations, if you rent a newsstand, you must sell books with postal codes. He doesn't want to sell a magazine, not even a newspaper.
Selling water is better than selling newspapers!
Even if the profit of the magazine is slightly higher, there are very few people interested in it, and even fewer people buy it, which means that there is no income.
Therefore, he positioned the target group on the residents of nearby communities, and switched to selling toys and snacks.
business!
It's just so-so.
In the past, when the sales volume of the newsstand was good, the whole family could be supported by it. Now, excluding the rent, it can barely support one person.
And the reason why he still sticks here is not because the rent of the newsstand is cheap, a few hundred yuan a month, which is much cheaper than the rent of the store.
"Boss, I put your magazines here." The postman put magazines, newspapers and other books on the small partition he extended.
"Hey, okay."
The newsstand owner nodded helplessly.
Now that it's all delivered, let's just sell it hard!
Although in the final result, a few copies could not be sold.
Seeing a few girls passing by in a hurry, he quickly picked up a copy of "Shi Quan Shi Mei", sold it to them, and started yelling.
"Don't miss it when you pass by, the new issue of "Shi Quan Shi Mei" has arrived."
These days, who still reads paper magazines!
The girls who passed by were actually not interested in food magazines like "Shi Quan Shi Mei".
To read is also to look at fashion magazines.
For example, the five majors, in order to improve the style of their outfits.
However, after they had a glimpse...
But I was immediately attracted by the cover picture in the magazine.
"Huh? Isn't this Boss Huang? How did he get on the cover of the magazine "Shi Quan Shi Mei?"
"Boss Huang? Which Boss Huang? Are you talking about Boss Huang from the delicious restaurant? Let me see, let me see!"
"Ha~ It's really him! By the way, Boss Huang is really photogenic! The cover photo of this magazine is very handsome, no less than those male stars!"
"The last time I went to a delicious restaurant to eat, I saw Lin Manli, the editor-in-chief of "Shi Quan Shi Mei" magazine, in the store. I heard that I was shooting the next issue of the magazine. I didn't expect it to be released so soon."
"Wow, the presentation of this Dongpo meat is even more beautiful than the ones sold in the store! Just looking at the picture has aroused my greed again."
"Yeah, just looking at these dishes, I feel like I'm hungry again~"
"Crazy inhalation, once you inhale, you can eat it! I want to buy this book and keep it in my collection. When I can't eat the delicacies made by Boss Huang in the future, I can eat takeaway and look at magazine pictures for dinner."
"That's okay too? Then I'll buy one too! Boss, I want this one."
"Boss, give me one too."
"I want two copies, one for home and one for work."
"Then I want two more..."
Almost robbed.
The newsstand was the same as before, only about 20 copies of "Shi Quan Shi Mei" were stocked, but ten copies were sold in less than a minute.
In the previous issue, only 3 or 4 copies were sold!
The owner of the newsstand, while a little surprised, couldn't help but have a big question mark in his mind.
Why is this "Shi Quan Shi Mei" magazine so popular all of a sudden?
And this boss Huang, what a delicious restaurant, why does it sound so familiar?
When his eyes fell on the cover of the magazine "Shi Quan Shi Mei" again, when he saw Huang Tao's face, he felt familiar.
But I can't remember for a while, where I saw it or heard of it.
Based on what the girls said just now, he determined that the reason why these girls bought this issue of "Shi Quan Shi Mei" was because of the handsome guy on the cover of the magazine and the delicious food in his store.
After the girls scanned the QR code to pay, they kindly reminded: "Boss, you only have these few copies of "Shi Quan Shi Mei" left, which are definitely not enough to buy. Why don't you prepare more copies of this magazine and earn more money?"
Why is it so determined that it is not enough to sell?
It is they who know the popularity of the delicious restaurant.
This issue of "Shiquan Shimei" magazine will definitely be snapped up by the loyal fans of Zhenyuedian.
The newspaper owner was dumbfounded when he heard that, but the girl in front of him looked sincere and didn't look like she was joking.
It shows that this issue of the magazine is more popular than before.
But he was more dubious.
If this issue of the magazine cannot be sold out later, I have to bother to return it, which is not very good.
Although just a dozen copies were sold at once.
But just because of this delicious restaurant, can it really have such a big influence?
After all, very few people read paper newspapers and periodicals now, and even the gold-lettered signboard of "Shi Quan Shi Mei" can't drive the sales of offline paper newspapers and periodicals.
After he hesitated for a while, a phone call came just in time, so he forgot about it.
After 8 o'clock, people came to his newsstand one after another, and they didn't stop after that.
The first thing they said when they came over one by one was to ask: "Do you have this issue of "Shi Quan Shi Mei" for sale?"
"Yes, I have!"
As soon as he nodded and pointed, he didn't need to take it. One by one, he directly picked up the "Shi Quan Shi Mei" magazine on the small extension shelf, and scanned the code to pay.
In just a few minutes, they were all sold out.
Some people kept coming to ask, and when they heard that it was sold out, they said with a look of disgust: "Oh, boss, this issue of "Shi Quan Shi Mei" is only selling for so little? I heard that you sell it here, so I came here specially." , it seems that my trip was in vain."
"Yes, yes, I have already visited many newsstands, and they all said they were sold out. Why don't you newspaper owners stock up more?"
"Boss, this issue is the "Shi Quan Shi Mei" magazine published by Boss Huang from the delicious restaurant. You can rest assured to prepare more of this issue of the magazine, and keep the next business will be very good."
The slightly wrinkled face of the newsstand owner was still in a state of shock and trance.
Why today, twenty copies of "Shi Quan Shi Mei" magazines have become "points"?
In the past, this amount could not be sold in half a year!
At last.
At the enthusiastic suggestion of a customer, I quickly called the post office and asked them to help deliver some of this issue of "Shi Quan Shi Mei" magazine.
After the postman delivered it, many people came to buy this issue of "Shi Quan Shi Mei" magazine. The 100 magazines that had just been delivered were sold out in less than 10 minutes.
Is it because he doesn't want to prepare more of this issue of "Shi Quan Shi Mei" magazine?
Do not!
It's because the post office is out of stock, and they are still working overtime to print it!
He decided to ask for another 500 copies by then.
Because many people paid in advance and asked him to help reserve a copy when they learned that it was sold out and it was still in print.
He was busy registering in the little book.
I haven't rested for a moment, and my hands are almost sore from writing.
This person will sit directly on the small stool in the booth, leaning on the goods behind him, and smiling happily.
The sales volume of this issue is even worse than the sales volume of the peak period at that time!
He seems to have seen the scenes of those years when paper newspapers and magazines were prevalent.
At that time, many newspapers and periodicals were distributed near schools and bus station kiosks. Every once in a while, there would be new serials of comics or novels. Various magazines came out, and students bought them one after another, bringing some joy to the boring study life. color.
And the elderly go out for a walk in the morning, buy a newspaper at the newsstand, and after reading the newspaper, the major events of the previous day are stored in their minds...
