Chapter 123 Online Bookstore

Chen Zhisheng got up and was about to leave. After listening to Xu Wenhua's words, he stopped and said, "Oh, what else do you want to say?"

Xu Wenhua looked sad and said, "Brother Zhisheng, you and I have known each other. Although we are so unhappy today, I don't blame you. What I want to say is that this morning, people from Songjiang People's Publishing House came and warned me not to enter your Wansheng book. You Wansheng are the industry of celebrities, and they dare not use any disgraceful means. But I, a private bookstore, want to deal with me, but there are too many ways. Brother, I really dare not offend, but I'm sorry for you today.

Chen Zhisheng listened and said in a voice, "Is this true?"

Xu Wenhua suddenly said, "At this time, can I still laugh with you? Since my bookstore has been notified, it is estimated that all the bookstores in the city have been notified, and it is useless for you to go to other places. I advise you to go back to the company as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures! Your boss is now well-known in China and has a wide range of friends. He should be able to come up with a solution!"

Chen Zhisheng punched Xu Wenhua with both hands, thanked him, turned out of Wenhua Bookstore, and went straight to Wansheng Books. After returning to the company, he went straight to Jiang Xiancheng and told him what had happened. Of course, even my uncle can't mention the matter of taking books and kickbacks for Xu Wenhua privately.

Jiang Xiancheng listened, took Chen Zhisheng to find Zhang Duo, and asked him to speak again. After hearing this, Zhang Duo sat in the chair, his face was as heavy as water, and he didn't say anything.

Jiang Xiancheng saw this and asked Chen Zhisheng to quit first before saying, "Zhang Shao, I didn't expect Zhao Dekang to be so cruel. I thought he would have taken all the domestic book wholesale companies, but now he has warned all the private bookstores in Bincheng, but there is no way for us!"

Zhang Duo snorted coldly, "This is just expected. Bincheng is his base camp. It is impossible to forget this area and ask people to go to the bookstore to explore the way, but just want to see his determination. Since he has done so well that he won't leave me a road, then don't let everyone go!"

Looking at Zhang Duo's determined face, Jiang Xiancheng actually had a trace of timidity in his heart. He thought about when this little Zhang Duo would get up and have such momentum.

"In this situation, there is no hope in the province. Why don't I go to the south in person and talk to a few wholesale companies? I still have some connections in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I should be able to expand it!" Jiang Xiancheng said.

Zhang Duo was silent, with a solemn expression on his face, as if he had made a major decision. After a long time, he said, "Uncle Jiang, I don't think it's necessary. Songjiang People's Publishing House is very determined, and it may not be successful if it goes. You buy a ready-made business website and find a way to get some books. Let's set up an online bookstore.

Jiang Xiancheng's understanding of the Internet is not comparable to that of Zhang Duo. He subconsciously said, "Online bookstore, can this work? It's not very reliable, is it?"

Zhang Duo couldn't help laughing and said, "Uncle Jiang, don't underestimate the Internet. It is this online bookstore that can make physical bookstores difficult and bleak in the future!"

Jiang Xiancheng said suspiciously, "No way, the domestic network is not popular now. How can anyone surf the Internet!"

Zhang Duo said, "At present, there are at least 30 million netizens in China, and in another ten years, there will be 400 to 500 million!"

Jiang Xiancheng said, "Even if there are 30 million netizens, how do they pay for books on our website?"

Zhang Duo smiled and said, "This is easy to do. We can cooperate with mobile companies, deduct fees with mobile phones, and pay them a little handling fee for each transaction. In addition, although mobile phones are not very popular, there are still places selling recharge cards everywhere. Customers can apply for an account on our website and use the recharge card to charge money to the account before buying books.

Jiang Xiancheng said, "It costs freight to buy books online. Isn't the postal freight cheap now?"

Zhang Duo thought of the postal service that had been squeezed by major express delivery companies in its previous life and subconsciously smiled and said, "No, of course, don't go to the postal service. I heard that there is a headwind express in the industry that claims that even against the wind can be delivered to the door in the shortest time, and the fee is low, so I can just follow him. We cooperate."

Jiang Xiancheng saw that Zhang Duo actually thought of such a detailed place. It can be seen that it was not a temporary inspiration, but a thought in his heart that he could no longer persuade, but suddenly thought of a question: "Zhang Shao, readers have to buy books online. Ordinary people have to go to Internet cafes. If the conditions are good, they can be deducted by mobile phones. It's not good. You need to buy a recharge card to recharge the account, and you have to bear the freight and wait for delivery. It's so troublesome. Who would like to buy books online?

Zhang Duo's mouth was slightly up and said with a smile, "Under the current conditions, it is troublesome and time-consuming to buy books online, but we have an advantage that those physical bookstores are unmatched!"

"What advantages?" Jiang Xiancheng asked.

"Discount, the minimum discount for books in our online mall is 50% off."

Zhang Duo's voice was flat and his tone was calm, but Jiang Xiancheng heard it, but it was like a shocking thunder and said, "Discount? Can't it be like this, Zhang Shao? You are not only an enemy of Songjiang People's Publishing House, but also Xinhua Bookstore and even public and private bookstores across the country. Think twice!"

The world is very strict in cracking down on piracy, and one consequence is that almost all bookstores do not offer discounts. For example, in the previous life, if you want to save money, you can buy low-cost pirated books; if you want a good reading experience, you can choose the genuine version. However, in order to increase the sales of genuine books, bookstores will discount more or less. Otherwise, how can you ask everyone to support the genuine version?

And because there is almost no piracy in the world, genuine books lack one of the most powerful rival, so the price is very strong. In China, it's almost the same, not to mention that all bookstores don't have discounts! Anyway, it's the same price wherever you buy it. Do you like it or not?

But if Zhang Duo sells at 50% off online, it will break the price monopoly of the whole industry. God knows how much hatred it will bring. Jiang Xiancheng shuddered when he thought about it.

Zhang Duo doesn't care about Jiang Xiancheng's worries. "Uncle Jiang, physical bookstores have the advantages of physical bookstores, and online stores have the advantages of online stores, and the impact is not so fast. What do you think? I will inject another 30 million yuan into the company later. You can take it to buy a business website. In addition, arrange people to scan the goods at major wholesale companies, and temporarily only choose literature and social science books and hoard them. When the website is ready, there will be something for sale in our store.

Hearing Zhang Duo's words, Jiang Xiancheng only agreed. It is true that he is the general manager of this company, but on the one hand, he is almost helpless about the ban of Songjiang People's Publishing House. Second, this company belongs to Zhang Duo. What does the owner say?

Jiang Xiancheng personally went to the business website, chose the right one, gave the information to Zhang Duo for a look, and then he would talk about it. Chen Zhisheng took other personnel of the company to a well-known book wholesale company across the country, and only chose social science and literature books to buy back. But I can't understand the companies in the industry. There is no way to sell the novels printed by Wansheng Books. Scan so many books and sell them to whom. You can't get along in China. Can you export them instead and sell them to Africa?

Although these companies can't understand Wansheng's actions, they didn't stop them from sweeping the goods. Not to mention increasing their performance, they still want to see what Wansheng's idea is.

In the blink of an eye, it has been a week since Wansheng Books opened, that is, no book wholesale company has taken the initiative to come to Wansheng Books, and no bookstore has come to Wansheng Books to pick up goods. On the contrary, the books that Wansheng came in from other places have arrived one after another. Not to mention that the company's warehouse is full, he has to rent another warehouse.

When the news reached Songjiang People's Publishing House, Zhao Dekang was reporting to President Xia Jun. When Xia Jun made a report to the head office, he confidently praised Haikou, saying that the performance of Songjiang People's Publishing House in the second half of the year was ten percentage points higher than that of the first half of the year. Unexpectedly, as soon as he praised Haikou, the news of Zhang Duo's independence came from the club, and he directly put Xia Jun into the hospital.

Now this is just in good health. Listen to Zhao Dekang report on the recent work situation, mainly the suppression of Wansheng books.

Zhao Dekang said: "At present, in addition to our "Chinese People's Department" publishing houses, several influential publishing houses in China have also joined the ban on Wansheng, and there are countless small publishing houses behind us. Although there are still some who show wait-and-see, they are no longer important and can't set off waves.

Xia Jun coughed twice and said, "Well done. As long as our publishing industry is united, those private bookstores don't worry at all. Cough, Xiao Zhang Duo, aren't you famous? I'd like to see how much your book sells this time!"

Zhao Dekang said with a smile, "The president is still far-sighted and united with the whole publishing industry, even Xinhua Bookstore does not dare to have other thoughts, not to mention a private bookstore like scattered sand!"

Xia Jun sneered and said, "Xinhua Bookstore is not the same as us. As long as they can exclusively sell books. As for whether this book is published by Songjiang People's Publishing House or provided by Wansheng Books, they really don't care."

Zhao Dekang agreed: "It's true. This time, it's really thanks to the timely arrangement of the president. Otherwise, Xinhua Bookstore would have come to cooperate with them, which would be too passive."

At this time, Xia Jun's secretary suddenly knocked on the door and stopped talking. Xia Jun said, "Chief Zhao is not an outsider. If there is any latest news, just say it!"

"Yes, president, I just got the latest news. Wansheng's picture shows that another batch of new goods have arrived, all of which are social science and literature books bought from the south. I heard that Wansheng's warehouse has long been full, and now it has rented another warehouse. Also, at noon, a Thai entered Wansheng Book and hasn't come out yet!"

Xia Jun wondered: "Thai people, why do Thai people look for Wansheng books"

Zhao Dekang suddenly thought of a possibility, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
