In the evening, eight sets of new computer desks and chairs were delivered to the Zhen Family. A total of sixteen sets of desks and chairs were arranged in two rows in the first floor hall, filling up the space slightly.
Zhen Yu glanced casually, then went upstairs.
The second floor was more spacious than the first floor, but because two bedrooms had been partitioned off, the area was slightly smaller.
How should she utilize this space? Zhen Yu had been pondering this question lately!
After all, Mrs. Zhen was only one person and could not take on additional work, otherwise, she would be overwheld.
So, besides selling sundries and beverages at the store, what kind of business required only a little of Mrs. Zhen’s ti to just collect money?
As Zhen Yu was thinking, she walked to the desk unintentionally and sat down. She had been lacking inspiration for a long ti, and casually pulled a book from the shelf, just about to flip through it... when suddenly a brilliant idea struck her!
Books! Renting out books! How had she not thought of this before! This business could have started when the ga hall opened!
"Mom! Mom!" Zhen Yu shouted excitedly! At this mont, she wished she could just roll downstairs to find her mom!
"What’s wrong? What’s wrong?" The response ca from her brother, with a panicked shout and the sound of him running upstairs.
"I have a new idea!" Zhen Yu intercepted her brother in the middle of the stairs and pulled him downstairs to find Mrs. Zhen.
Feeling his sister’s enthusiastic mood, Zhen Yan also beca excited, "What new idea?"
"Starting a new business on the second floor! Renting books! Renting martial arts and romance novels, as well as classics!"
"Renting books? Renting books!" Zhen Yan reacted for a mont, then happily said: "Then I can have lots and lots of books to read?"
"Yes! Lots and lots of books! Also, movies and songs! These are all ways to make money!"
"What do you an?" Zhen Yan couldn’t connect these two things to making money.
"You’ll know in a mont!" Zhen Yu teased.
——
"What are you yelling about!" Mother chided the siblings as they arrived at the counter.
However, she turned a deaf ear to it, and directly addressed her mother: "Mom! Let’s go upstairs! We need to discuss sothing!"
"What’s the matter?! You’re all mysterious!" Mrs. Zhen muttered, but her body honestly followed them upstairs.
Standing in the second-floor living room, Zhen Yu pointed to the empty space in front of them and said to her mother: "Mom! Hire soone to set up several rows of bookshelves, let’s stock up on more books and rent them out!"
"Renting books? Can that make money!" Mrs. Zhen frowned.
"Yes!" Zhen Yu affird, then slightly teased: "Mom! You’ve been spoiled by the ga hall, and you look down on this small business, don’t you!"
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Zhen knew her daughter was speaking the truth, but still refused to admit it.
Zhen Yu didn’t expose her mother, but seriously explained: "Mom, you must think that buying a book costs so little, so renting them must not bring in much money, right?"
Mrs. Zhen matter-of-factly said, "Isn’t that the case? You rent a book to soone, do you actually expect to earn as much as selling a book?"
"But have you thought about the costs of selling books? How much profit can you make from selling a book? Whereas renting books can continuously bring in rent inco..."
"Uh!" Mrs. Zhen pondered a bit, "When you put it that way, it does make so sense..."
"Mom! The profit from renting books is not lower than selling books! In fact, if a book is rented out many tis, it can far exceed the amount made from selling it!"
"Really?! No way?!" Mrs. Zhen was startled and sowhat incredulous.
"Really! Don’t believe , just wait and see!" Zhen Yu said directly, "Mom! You’ve worked so hard! The book rental business still needs to be handled by you! But it’s easy to operate, you just need to rent them out and collect them back! The books collected each day can be left at the counter, and I will sort them back onto the shelves at night!"
"What if soone directly rents and doesn’t return it?" Mrs. Zhen hurriedly asked.
"Mom!" Zhen Yu said sowhat amused, "Of course, there will be a deposit! But renting books from us is different from renting from others! I’ve decided to use book rental as a breakthrough to promote our Sincere mbership Card, no! To be precise, it should be called the Zhencheng Card!"
"Zhencheng Card?" Zhen Yan who had been quietly sitting aside and listening, suddenly chid in at this mont.
"Yes! As long as you have our Sincere mbership Card, it can be used simultaneously at Zhen Cheng Ga Hall, Sincere Takeout, and Sincere Bookstore! One card for all!"
Mrs. Zhen was imdiately not pleased, "Ah? The rent also has to be deducted from the card? Won’t that ss up the accounts?!"
"No! The rental fee must be paid in cash, but the rental deposit can be reserved in the Zhencheng Card! That is, if you want to start the rental service, I will have to freeze a portion of your funds in the card! The frozen funds can be used again only when you cancel the rental service!"
"That’s a good idea!" Mrs. Zhen bead, "Alright! We can give this a try, let’s bring in fewer books at first! If it doesn’t work, I’ll just consider it as buying books for you two to read!"
"Then we’ll start preparing tomorrow, be sure to set up this stall before school starts!" Zhen Yu imdiately said.
"No problem!" Mrs. Zhen said and was about to make a phone call, "I need to ask soone about the bookshelves..."
"Mom! Hold on a mont! I still have more to say!"
Mrs. Zhen turned back in surprise, "More?"
"Yes! More!" Zhen Yu nodded vigorously, "To cut costs, could you also ask your friends if anyone has connections for buying used books and CDs? The used books must be at least 80% new! Also,"
"That can be done, but what do you need used CDs for?" Mrs. Zhen interrupted her daughter, puzzled.
Zhen Yan’s eyes widened instantly; his sister had said she planned to make money from movies and songs before! He needed to listen closely to what her plan was!
"Mom! The used CDs must be playable! It’s okay whether they are movies or songs! I want to copy the movies and songs from the CDs onto each computer!"
"Why would you copy those things?" Mrs. Zhen still didn’t understand.
"For the custors to watch! Think about it, isn’t the ga hall filled with only guys?!"
"Yes! Which girls co to play gas?!" Mrs. Zhen naturally said.
However, Zhen Yan secretly thought to himself, "Does my sister only play King of Fighters or is she good at all gas?! To think about it, I have never seen her play computer gas, I wonder if she can actually play them..."
Zhen Yu mysteriously smiled, "What do you think, if the computers in the ga hall could offer a lot of movies for custors to watch, wouldn’t the girls co and play? After all, those video halls on the streets are definitely not places where girls would go..."
