Chapter 224 The New Year is approaching(1/2)
What is the hottest thing in Xuncheng in the new year?
It’s not the script blind box event that’s about to end, it’s not the hot milk tea shop that’s newly opened on the pedestrian street, it’s not the chain of Internet cafes that offers 150 for free with a $100 deposit during the New Year’s Day event, it’s not C.C’s latest limited-time 30% off cream cheese soup, it’s not every day.
Queue at Xinghe braised food restaurant.
It is a birthday customized activity of Galaxy Script Club.
From someone who just knows how to walk to someone who is 99, there is no one who can say NO to this customization activity.
As the final exam approaches, parents of children whose birthdays fall in January, February, March, April, and May will even try to persuade them by saying, "If you do well in the final exam, your mother will take you to the Galaxy Script Club to celebrate your birthday."
It is said that the effect of encouraging students to learn is particularly good.
Although the price of this customized birthday service is high, much more expensive than a normal birthday celebration for children, and the consumption is far higher than the average level in Xuncheng, it is not popular among parents.
If a child likes something, she may not be able to get it by crying and fussing, but if a parent likes something, the parent will usually get it on the pretext that the child likes it.
Proposal is a rare thing. After all, most people can only propose once in their life. But birthdays are different. They can be celebrated once a year, or twice if you want (lunar and solar calendars), or even
You don’t have to be too stuck on time, you can push it forward or postpone it.
Jiang Qi once had a situation where birthday orders for Saturdays were full, but the parents said it would be okay to postpone the birthdays to Sunday.
In order to make it easier for parents and adults celebrating their birthdays to understand the birthday customization business, Jiang Qi specially marked the price clearly, so that no one can be deceived.
The basic package is a cake from the secret passage, apricot flower dots, candles with the words "Happy Birthday" and Lili star lanterns. The cost is only 388, and the customer brings his own cake.
Cake provided by Jiang Qi 188.
Cavalry cutting cake 120.
Elk pulling gifts 99.
The flower fairy flies in the sky singing children's songs while sprinkling glitter and flower petals 150.
Lili dances 260.
The flower fairy leads the dance 80.
Wang Xinghua wears a crown 50.
Additional candle words add money according to the amount.
If you need to provide other customized services, the price will be discussed separately.
At this point, some people may want to ask, where did the flower fairy come from?
Flower Fairy is a toy spirit newly drawn by Jiang Qi on January 11. It looks like an elf and has a pair of beautiful wings with colorful wings. It can sing children's songs, all kinds of children's songs, fly and dance, and wants a family.
A 6-year-old female mistress with a big garden.
As for why the Flower Fairy wants a little master with a big garden at home...
Because she can grow flowers and make honey.
Yes, like bees, she can make honey.
It takes bees 6 to 10 days to turn nectar into honey, but the flower fairy only needs one day, and she can collect nectar from any flower, as long as the amount is large enough.
Since a flower fairy toy, flapping its wings and flying around among the flowers to collect nectar, was not in line with materialism, so Jiang Qi could only take the flower fairy to the community to collect honey that had already been eaten in the middle of the night like a thief.
The nectar of the blooming plum blossoms was collected, but the few plum blossoms in the entire community were all picked in three days.
Then Jiang Qi hired Wang Xinghua to take Hua Xianzi to other communities to be a thief for 20 yuan a night.
In order to help Hua Xianzi collect nectar better, Wang Xinghua waited for Wang Erya to go to sleep every day, then took her textbook and prepared lessons while going out to visit the sites. She visited all the sites within 10 kilometers of Jiang Qi's home.
Oh, by the way, Hua Xianzi also needs batteries for her electric toys, and since she likes to fly very much, the battery wears out quickly. Now Jiang Qi and the others carry button batteries with them so that they can replace Hua Xianzi’s batteries at any time.
Now, Jiang Qi is having a meeting with Huang Fugui and others upstairs.
There was a power outage in the alley from 7:00 to 10:00 tonight, and the business was closed. The notice was issued 5 days ago, so it is not considered a sudden power outage and does not affect normal operations. At most, the shop will be closed for one night.
It just so happened that Jiang Qi also took this opportunity to have a meeting with everyone.
The New Year is celebrated early this year, on January 27th, and now it is January 17th. According to Jiang Qi’s original plan, all employees will have a holiday on January 24th, and it will not be until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, which is January 31st.
go to work regularly.
Of course, if employees have various reasons, such as going to the countryside, paying New Year greetings, etc., they can delay coming back to work for a few days. After all, the store now has enough manpower.
Because the Chinese New Year is early, all major universities, high schools, junior high schools, elementary schools and kindergartens have already gone on holiday. Qin Can also came back to work part-time from the winter vacation on January 16th. Seeing the current size of the store and the decoration of the new store, he called the boss awesome several times.
Forced to start reading this book intensively again.
The children are on vacation, which means they have enough time to come to the store to celebrate their birthdays.
When there were no holidays before, birthday orders were concentrated on weekends, and working days were usually in the evenings, so there were few huge orders.
Now that there is a holiday, parents are very enthusiastic about celebrating birthdays for themselves/elders/sisters/children, and script stores are full of birthday orders every day.
However, Galaxy Script Club is also a script-killing shop. Jiang Qi’s final bottom line is to only accept birthday orders from customers in the store. In other words, you must play the script in the store before you can celebrate your birthday in the store.
Then a very strange phenomenon occurred at Galaxy Script Club.
Under normal circumstances, during the peak winter vacation season, script sales stores are mainly populated by college students and young people who go home for the New Year. There are middle school and high school students, but they are far less numerous than during the peak summer vacation season.
As for smaller guests, such as upper grade elementary school students...
Yes, but very few. Children of this age group are generally not the customer base of script-killing stores, and there are very few books suitable for them to play with.
But this winter vacation, Galaxy Script Club did exactly the opposite.
There are many college students, but there are more elementary school students who come with their parents, junior high school students celebrating their birthdays, and high school students.
There are even kindergartens where a group of parents take their children to kill scripts as a parent-child activity. However, these children don't just play with the scripts, it's all the parents who play.
But primary school students really want to play with books.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This directly led to Jiang Qi not being able to find a book for these little guests to play with.
The conscience of heaven and earth, more than 60% of the scripts written by Galaxy Script Club are horror scripts!
The evidence search gallery used for birthday celebrations was originally intended to be a terrifying evidence search gallery!
Those dancing dolls are all taken directly from the doll house!
Those who light candles are all real ghosts!
It is true that Galaxy Script Club does not have scripts that can be played by these younger children.
Pure game books can be given to them to play, such as "Toy Story", "MasterChef" and several boxed books for children's healing.
But it can't stand up to many children.
The script is completely inadequate.
This made Jiang Qi start to think about whether he should rent a new store and open a children's paradise to specifically take birthday orders from these children.
"The problem now is this. There are not enough books suitable for this group of children. In the past few days, Chengzi has received orders from several single years ago. There is a family of 7.8 people who come to celebrate their children's birthdays. Suitable books
The number is also very small, only one or two." Jiang Qi said while sitting on the sofa.
"Do you think there is any solution?"
"Isn't this type of notebook available on the market?" Huang Fugui asked.
"There are very few. I have collected several of the books in the store now from other stores. In fact, the parents who come to the store to celebrate their birthdays are basically introduced by friends, or I heard from friends that they invited each other's friends.
The overlap rate is also very high, but if some children are more popular and come to their friends’ birthdays more often than not, they won’t be able to play.”
Wang Xinghua watched Wang Erya write the question again and said: "Then these publications are not good. There are so many garbage and clichéd horror books and mystery books published every day, and the writing is ruined. Even if you copy and I copy, I don't want to write it.
If there are some new ones, can’t they come up with some books that are suitable for the whole family to play together and for children to celebrate their birthdays?”
Wang Xinghua has always been good at finding problems from their source.
Jiang Qi felt that Ben was to blame for this, which was a bit outrageous.
Before this, Jiang Qi himself had never thought that the original customer base for script killing could be expanded to this extent.
"Mr. Boss, don't you have a writer for writing scripts? Why don't you use a writer to write new scripts?" Flower Fairy asked puzzledly.
Jiang Qi sighed helplessly: "The quality of the script written by the one-star writer is not very good. I tried it for a few days, and the script I wrote was... terrible."
With the current capabilities of the [Script Writer], it would be extremely difficult to write a script that Jiang Qi wants.
When the entire story and characters of "Red Tears" were already set, it took many days of input and writing before the finished product with 15 people was written. So far, a version with more than 20 people has not been written.
Regarding the new children's script, Jiang Qi and others could only think of a rough plot and setting, input a simple outline into the writer, and the finished product would be unconstrained and horrible to watch.
You set up 12 children to celebrate their birthdays together and play games happily. As a result, the editor writes that one of the children poisoned the cake and no one survived. Can you believe it?
The script can be down-to-earth, but not down-to-earth.
"Boss, why don't you relax the conditions for celebrating birthdays so that everyone can celebrate their birthdays without playing with books in the store?" Wang Erya was a little confused.
Huang Fugui explained: "Because this puts the cart before the horse, and once the order volume increases, it will definitely affect the normal performance of other customers in the store."
"This type of birthday celebration is mainly for fresh pictures. It is very popular now, but in a month or two the popularity will fade away. At present, the number of birthday orders in the store is being determined, and it will not affect other customers.
Taking orders under certain circumstances can be regarded as value-added services at best.”
"If we regard it as our main business, it will not be as attractive as it is now, and it will be counterproductive."
