Chapter 267

"This book...cafe is called Shuca, right? It's a combination of a bookstore and a coffee shop. That's what the store's slogan says. The business of this bookcafe is really good."

Theodore looked at the buildings across the road and said enviously.

He saw that the book cafe was full of people, some were quietly reading with books, and some were whispering and discussing something. The common thing was that there was basically a glass of very special-looking drink on the table.

The faces of these guests all had peaceful smiles, and the atmosphere looked happy and harmonious.

I heard that it is also an exclusive drink newly invented by Shuca, called pearl milk tea. It has attracted a large number of customers as soon as it was put on the shelves, and the supply exceeds the demand.

However, it is rare and expensive, and if you can’t buy it, the reputation of this novel drink has increased. Although few people have tasted it, there are a lot of voices saying that this pearl milk tea is very delicious.

It's getting more and more curious.

Theodore stared at the moving heads there, and added: "It's a little too good to be normal."

Manan, who was standing next to him, threw the burnt cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with the toe of his leather shoe, then tightened his leather jacket, and asked, "What's wrong?"

He pointed to the completed building behind him: "In the future, this place will be more lively, under the influence of our Luoer resources."

Manan's tone was full of pride, because he was the person in charge of this project, appointed by the eldest lady himself.

He is a northerner with a standard appearance for northerners, with black hair and brown eyes, lacking in three-dimensionality, so he grew a beard, which can make his appearance less conspicuous to a certain extent.

He has been with Ji Bonong for a long time. Although he is not a real confidant, he is also a competent person. He is only allowed to supervise very important projects.

Therefore, in his opinion, although this place looks remote, it must actually be a location with great potential.

And that book cafe is a strong evidence to prove this point.

Theo on the opposite side is just one of the insignificant businessmen who came to the door today to inquire about the rental price of the shop.

It's just that he is a well-known second-hand bookseller, so he pays attention to his peers.

Theodore shook his head and said with a smile: "Maybe I'm overthinking, I feel that those guests don't look like they are reading a book, but rather..."

He hesitated for a moment, as if looking for a word that could accurately describe it, and finally hesitated: "It seems to be praying... Haha, I must have too much imagination."

Theodore couldn't help laughing when he said that, even he himself thought it was ridiculous.

This is just a book cafe, not a church, how could it be praying? If this is praying, could it be that it is praying to the God of milk tea?

Ma Nan laughed a few times, and then said: "The business method of that book cafe is very interesting. Maybe you can learn it. After all, pure bookstores are not very popular these days. I heard that your recent business is also very interesting. It’s not easy to do, don’t be like that bookstore, the rent will not be refunded.”

Half-jokingly, he pointed to the deserted old bookstore next to the book cafe.

Theodore's gaze also turned there. He noticed the bookstore without a signboard from the very beginning. Even the only customer just now came out empty-handed and preoccupied, and turned to the bookstore to buy a drink. , and then left with a satisfied expression.

It can be seen that there is really no business at all.

"Of course not. Although the book business is not doing well, I still have a group of regular customers, and... I am going to sell some antique books I have collected this time. I believe those nobles and scholars Would be very interested in that."

He smiled in agreement, with a calm expression on the surface, but in his heart he felt the sadness of hurting others.

As Manan said, the current bookstore has declined. Since computers became popular, reading stored on the screen has gradually risen. Maybe one day, people will abandon books.

But until then, he still wants to be a bookseller.

"That's good." Manan stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "After signing the contract, No. 16 on the 1st floor will be your shop, and Luoer Resources will carry out the shop when this commercial city opens. Propaganda, good luck."

The specific terms and the distribution of benefits have actually been discussed just now, and now it is just chatting.

A sincere smile appeared on Theodore's face, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Recently, he was targeted by some people because he received a special book, so he had to abandon his original shop and switch to Rolle Resources.

I hope those people will be afraid of this...

The cooperation is pleasant, and the atmosphere is naturally relaxed.

Ma Nan lit a cigarette again, took a breath, exhaled the smoke, and said with a mysterious smile: "Actually, I have heard some rumors that someone saw the eldest lady visiting this bookstore, and said that the bookstore's The master has magic and has some miraculous abilities... However, it's all nonsense."

Theodore was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect the person in charge to be very gossip, and shook his head: "Maybe they want to create public opinion to attract customers... There are often such strategies, but they will make such a bad move. I want to come to this bookstore It's the end of the road."

And this is too nonsense, let's not talk about magic power, how could the eldest lady of Luoer Resources come to such a place?

Manan laughed loudly: "That's right, how is it possible hahaha... hiccup!"

He laughed halfway, and suddenly seemed to be choking, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were wide open, his face was flushed with pain, and his expression was very painful.

Theodore was startled, and quickly reached out to help him. Seeing Manan's eyes straightened, he couldn't help but follow his gaze.

In front of the old and ordinary bookstore, there was a black car parked, which looked very high-end.

A strange premonition suddenly rose in Theodore's heart.

Ma Nan finally smoothed it out in one breath. The project leader was dumbfounded. Looking at the person who got out of the car, his thoughts went blank for a moment, and he was shocked beyond words: "Big, big miss?!!!"

...

Lin Jie was thinking about how to pack this Philosopher's Stone in a more attractive way, and then give it to his very capable assistant as a reward.

Outside the bookstore, there was a black limousine parked at the door.

The middle-aged driver in a neat black suit got out of the car first, then went to the back and opened the door, bowed slightly, with a calm posture, put one hand on the top of the door to prevent people in the car from bumping their heads, and the other hand did it. A gesture of please.

Ji Zhixu's slender and fair legs landed on the ground first, black high-heeled shoes set off her slender and beautiful ankles, followed by her graceful body in a dress of the same color, her beautiful face, and the red ribs on both sides of her cheeks shaped earrings.

She looked at the bookstore she hadn't seen for a long time, and let out a sigh of relief.

The driver had already reached the trunk and dragged out a large heavy box.
