Chapter 249 New Mission
Lin Chuyi walked up and knocked on the door. Soon an old man came to open the door. When the old man saw Lin Chuyi, who was dressed neatly, he was slightly stunned and asked, "Girl, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Yuan Qizi. I wonder if he's in there."
As soon as Lin Chuyi said this, everyone else in the yard stopped what they were doing and looked towards Lin Chuyi. The clever kids had already run into the house to inform him.
Soon, Yuan Qizi came out of the house. Seeing that the person coming was Lin Chuyi, he was immediately surprised and almost blurted out "girl". However, when Lin Chuyi gave him a look, he immediately understood and suppressed the surprise on his face. However, Lin Chuyi's next sentence almost ruined his plan.
"Uncle, why did you hide here? It took your niece a while to find you."
Yuan Qizi was choked by his own saliva. He quickly clenched his right fist, put it to his mouth and coughed a few times to hide his shock. Brother Tian, what did the girl just call him?
After a brief moment of shock, Yuan Qizhi quickly reacted and continued to talk with Lin Chuyi: "It's hard to find you, but you've come here too? Now that you're here, come in and talk."
After Yuan Qizi finished speaking, he turned around and went into the house without waiting for Lin Chuyi to react. Lin Chuyi's smile widened, and he stepped through the gate and followed Yuan Qizi into the house.
Yuan Qizhi stood by the door after entering the house. When Lin Chuyi came in, he was about to close the door. Seeing that the people in the yard were still looking at them, he said with a straight face, "Stop looking. Be careful not to finish your work and have no dinner tonight."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly retracted their gaze and continued with their work.
Yuan Qizi closed the door, came to Lin Chuyi, bowed to her and said, "I am honored to meet you, young lady."
Lin Chuyi waved at him: "No need to be polite, sit down."
Yuan Qizi stood up as he was told and sat down next to Lin Chuyi. Yuan Qizi was very excited at this moment and had a lot to say to Lin Chuyi.
At the beginning, Lin Chuyi gave him five hundred taels of silver, brought him to Lanzhou, and left him to work on his own. During this period of time, he never looked for him once.
On the way to Lanzhou, he had been thinking about how to complete the task assigned to him by Lin Chuyi. After several days of thinking, he finally worked out a relatively complete plan.
At the beginning, things did develop in the direction he had previously planned, and he successfully gathered a group of subordinates. After that, the number of people in the team continued to increase, becoming larger and larger. It looked like a thriving scene, but in fact it was not, because he did not have much money left.
Of the five hundred taels of silver Lin Chuyi gave him, after deducting the money for rent and medical treatment for his subordinates, the rest was used to buy food to solve the problem of food and drink for this large group of people. He only spent more than he earned every day, and sooner or later his savings would be gone.
He looked at the money that was decreasing every day and felt anxious every day, but he couldn't show it. Lin Chuyi didn't tell Yuan Qizi where she was going, so he didn't know where to find her.
But the group of men Yuan Qizi hired were not hired in vain. In addition, the opening of stores such as Lulutong was quite a big event, so he quickly found out the specific whereabouts of the two teams.
He wanted to contact Lin Chuyi through them, but he knew very well that he was carrying out a mission assigned to him by Lin Chuyi alone. If he went there now, it would mean that he had failed in his mission.
He didn't want to give up just like that, so he had been sitting in his room these past few days thinking about how to monetize the connections he had. Unexpectedly, before he could figure out a solution, Lin Chuyi suddenly showed up at his door.
After Yuan Qizi sat down, Lin Chuyi used the mind-reading skill and began to ask him about the progress of the mission. It was only then that Lin Chuyi discovered that Yuan Qizi was actually a reserved person.
On the surface, he answered in a serious manner and said very little, as if a few more words would cost him his life. However, what he was thinking was like a joke, chattering on and on, making Lin Chuyi's head buzz.
Combining the two, Lin Chuyi obtained a lot of useful information. For example, Yuan Qizi is now the biggest beggar leader in Lanzhou City, and can quickly collect intelligence of all sizes in Lanzhou City.
They knew everything from the daily schedule of Lanzhou Governor Liu Changhe, the highest official in Lanzhou City, to the fact that Wang Ergou, a street breakfast stall owner, was afraid of his wife.
Lin Chuyi naturally didn't care about those trivial matters, but he could also see Yuan Qizi's ability to collect information and his leadership skills from them.
This time she came to see Yuan Qizi to see how the task assigned to him was going. Now it seems that the other party did not disappoint her, so she could try to hand over the bookstore to him to test the waters.
The idea of opening a bookstore came to Lin Chuyi when he was teaching a few children extracurricular knowledge at home.
Because of the existence of the game space, she learned a lot of things she had never been exposed to before and mastered many new skills, but human energy is limited. She may not be able to utilize even one tenth of what she has learned in her entire life. This is undoubtedly a huge waste of resources.
Instead of letting these skills and knowledge remain in her possession, it would be better to publish them so that people with interest and talent in these contents can learn together. Compiling them into books and having them reprinted and sold by bookstores is undoubtedly the best way to spread them at present.
Lin Chuyi had already made up her mind when she was at home. She wanted to open a brand bookstore. In addition to the various common books on the market, her bookstore would also have less common professional books and skill books.
At the same time, she would use different pen names and, based on the development status of various industries, gradually record what she had learned in the form of books, make rubbings of them, sell them in stores, and spread them through bookstores to help the vigorous development of various industries.
In this way, she can not only make money from the bookstore, but also gain a large amount of merit points through the positive social impact generated. It will be a win-win situation for both the common people and Lin Chu alone.
Lin Chuyi's ideas for the bookstore go beyond this. Her bookstore also calls for manuscripts from the outside, collecting novels of various lengths, as well as current events.
In order to provide a large amount of material information for the weekly newspaper, people can subscribe to the weekly newspaper to obtain information about major events that occur in the city in a week, and can also read various serialized stories in the weekly newspaper.
Once the influence of the weekly newspaper has reached a certain scale, advertising space can be opened in the weekly newspaper to attract businesses to actively advertise in the door. If operated properly, the bookstore's income will not be worse than that of the catering business.
