Chapter 28 28 Xingwang Supermarket
Time passed slowly, and nearly two months passed in a blink of an eye.

During this period of time, apart from recuperating from his leg injury, writing novels, and writing magazine manuscripts, Qin He spent most of his time running back and forth between the town and the county with Hu Xingwang.

In order to rush for time, Qin He spent money to buy a second-hand Jialing that was [-]% to [-]% new for Hu Xingwang to travel back and forth.

When opening a supermarket in a small town, the biggest difficulty is not the location, but the source of goods.

At present, the various small stores and small shopping malls in the town are too scattered, and the places to buy goods are also messy, and even most of them are counterfeit goods.

In small villages and towns, there are many regular brands, and there is not even a single agent wholesaler. Qin He and Hu Xingwang ran around the county for more than half a month in order to find the source of goods, and finally found a fairly authentic wholesaler.

In this day and age, and in this small town, don’t think about the entrance fee that those brands will pay you.

In order to secure this supermarket, Qin He and his wife suffered countless hardships in the past two months, and the heartache was incomprehensible to ordinary people. In the end, in order to raise money, Qin He and Lao Cui withdrew 1 yuan in manuscript fees in advance.

Qin He finally spent more than 3 yuan, and owed more than 1 yuan to the wholesaler, and finally opened a supermarket with less than [-] square meters.

The name of the supermarket is Xingwang Supermarket.

Qin He and Hu Xingwang signed a contract, each holding 50.00% of the shares. Hu Xingwang refused to agree at first. After all, all the money was paid by Qin He, but Qin He finally made the decision.

Although the supermarket is not big, it is the first regular store in this small town. Everything in it is regular, including cigarettes and wine. No matter what era, the canteen sells fake cigarettes and wine. It’s a big income, but everything in Xingwang Supermarket is genuine.

In small towns, most of them do business with acquaintances. It seems that only acquaintances will not be deceived. Especially in the 90s, there are not many businesses that do business with integrity.

Although the supermarket is only about [-] square meters, besides the boss Hu Xingwang, Qin He also invited two sweet-looking girls in their teens, all of whom were dressed in uniform, and required that service be the first priority.

The supermarket is bright and bright, and the decoration looks very high-end, which is completely different from the dark appearance of other canteens.

The most important thing is that although the size of the supermarket is small, the variety inside is fairly complete, and the price is a little bit more expensive than the small shop outside, because it is genuine.

On the opening day, Qin He brought two firecrackers and two flower baskets, and just opened the business.

Hu Xingwang wore a suit and looked a bit like a boss. He smiled like a child. Qin He taught him many business tips.

When doing business in the town, the most important thing is to conduct oneself in the world, but Qin He himself doesn't know much about this, he can only give advice.

But Qin He didn't expect that Hu Xingwang was basically self-taught in this area, and with his straightforward personality, he quickly established a good relationship with various channels, as if he was born to do business.

However, Qin He still told Hu Xingwang about the dark side of society. After all, Hu Xingwang has no experience, so Qin He didn't want him to stumble.

Doing supermarket business in this era is indeed a virgin land. Xingwang Supermarket has no competitors in this small town.

It has only been open for half a month, and the business is not bad, but it is not as popular as expected. After all, spending power in this era is limited.

As word of mouth grew, the business of Xingwang Supermarket gradually stabilized, and a group of regular customers came to buy cigarettes and alcohol.

Qin He now relies on the manuscript fee from Zhiyin magazine, and the monthly manuscript fee is more than 200 yuan. The reader magazine also paid a manuscript fee once, and it was only more than [-] yuan. Qin He finally chose to give up submitting articles to the reader magazine. It was a waste of time. .

What he needs now is not fame, but money and time. Story Club magazine finally sent an acceptance letter, and the manuscript fee is more than 600, which should be about [-] per [-] words.

In addition, a small magazine also received the manuscript, and finally accepted it, and paid more than 700 manuscript fees, but Qin He did not submit any more manuscripts in the end.

In fact, besides the initial expenditure of more than 3 yuan in the supermarket, Qin He's personal expenses are not large, more than 1 yuan a month in manuscript fees, which is enough.

At the beginning of April, the first part of Qin He's Three-Body Problem novel was finally finished. Qin He felt that writing by hand was too time-consuming. After the first part was finished, Qin He began to try to contact Lao Cui from Zhiyin Magazine to ask about the publication.

Qin He was a little surprised by Lao Cui's reply. Originally, Qin He thought publishing a book would be difficult, but Lao Cui's reply to him was that it was easy. He asked Qin He whether he wanted to publish it privately or in cooperation with a magazine.

If it's just for fun, then just find a cooperative printing house to get it done. It can cost a few thousand yuan. You can print a few hundred copies yourself and give them away, or you can sell them secretly. Anyway, in this era of lax inspections.

If you want to do it in a formal way, then follow the formal way. Private publishing means that you pay privately to buy a publication number. Generally, you can print a few hundred or thousands of copies. Anyway, you can handle the sales yourself and spend tens of thousands of dollars. Money solves.

If you cooperate with a magazine to publish, you will be paid royalties based on sales volume, and the magazine will promote your books to major bookstores or recommend them to booksellers. In this era, paper books are the absolute mainstream, and every bookstore will publish them. Monthly sales are also amazing, and of course, pirated books sell more.

And cooperate with the publishing house, depending on the quality and sales situation at that time, you can go to the second press, the third press and so on.

Of course, the copyright of this kind of book can be signed with the publishing house, usually for five or ten years.

Qin He thought about it, and finally chose to cooperate with the magazine. Qin He has been very happy to cooperate with Zhiyin Magazine in the past few months. Basically, several of his articles have been published in each issue. famous.

However, the author name of the book published by Qin He this time decided to write Lin Yiqing's name.

Because only in this way can everyone recognize Lin Yiqing as a great writer, and his mission will be considered complete.

The first part of the Three-Body Problem is more than 20 words, because it is a science fiction novel, Qin He is worried that it will not be published.

But after all, Old Cui has been in this circle for so many years, and he has a good relationship with Qin He in the past few months. When he learned that Qin He was going to publish a book, he didn't even ask, and said that he could help solve it!

In fact, Lao Cui also had some selfish intentions in his heart. The manuscripts Qin He wrote during this period received a strong response from readers. The leaders of the magazine knew about it and asked him to cooperate with Qin He. Originally, Lao Cui thought Qin He would write something. Long-form novels written in the style of acquaintances are selling particularly well in this era, and I will also make a fortune by then.

Finally, after Lao Cui got the manuscript, he realized that it was actually a science fiction novel, and the style of the book had nothing to do with bosom friend Mao. After reading a few chapters casually, Lao Cui felt dizzy.

Lao Cui has been in the magazine circle for many years, and he comes across articles like bosom friends every day. He is really not in the mood to read science fiction, and he has read a few chapters, and he can’t feel the G-spot at all. He once doubted the book. Was it written by Teacher Li Yuncong?

Fortunately, he dragged his friends to do this for Qin He. He also got a book number for Qin He in Zhiyin's publishing house, signed a contract with Qin He, and finally decided to print three thousand copies of the first edition. It's still for Teacher Li Yuncong's face.

Qin He is also very grateful to Lao Cui, and the time for submitting manuscripts to Zhiyin magazine is also very accurate, and the cooperation between the two is quite pleasant.

By the beginning of June, Xingwang Supermarket was gradually getting back on track. Qin He's leg injury was [-]% healed. As for the other [-]%, it was completely disabled. Qin He always walked with a limp. Although he didn't look carefully and He looks almost like a normal person, but a closer look shows that Qin He is a cripple.

However, Qin He also recognized the fact that he was a lame man. Time was running out, and he really didn't have much time to waste.

The first novel of The Three-Body Problem was also successfully published, but the [-] volumes were finally arranged by Lao Cui’s relationship, and the publishing house also sold the book Three-Body Problem with other books to those booksellers and bookstores. , also sold [-] copies.

As for the reaction, there was not even a blister. Seeing this situation, Qin He almost exploded. He has been reborn in this world for seven months, and one-fifth of the time has passed, and finally got this result. .

Qin He finally decided to buy a computer and a printer. He decided to speed up and finish the book. If the Three-Body Problem was not popular, he would write out the events of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. If that didn't work, he would also copy one or two classic books. , we must let Lin Yiqing complete the task of a great writer within the task time!
It took Qin He and Hu Xingwang three days to buy a computer and printer, and they went to the city to get it done. Finally, the computer was installed in a rental house in the town. The main thing is that Hu’s village is not yet connected to electricity. The power is on, but Qin He can't wait.

It was already early July when I finally got the computer installed.

At the beginning of July, another big event happened in the Lin family, Yan Zi was about to take the high school entrance examination!
