Profitable book trade. A story for children about Seryozha.
Seryozha learned from the visitors of the Pool that the building where the bookstore is located has been excluded from the State Register of Immovable Buildings. And the owner of the building and the store does not appear in this building (in his store) for a number of reasons.
"There are no problem. There are the opportunities!" - Seryozha recalled. A few hours later he was in the premises of a bookstore. (Nowadays, opening the door is not such a difficult problem).
At the time of the widespread development of online commerce, it was easy to start a previously unknown (for Seryozha) business: trading books.
Seryozha did not inform anyone about the situation with the bookstore, with the building, with the owner of the building and the store. He was putting signatures (in English): Book Trade Expert. No one clarified anything and no one asked about anything.
Seryozha invited a wide range of authors to send their books to the store by mail for sale. Moreover, the books will be sold at a bargain price. If, with a significant circulation, the price of one book on average fluctuates around one thousand rubles, then Seryozha offered the authors to sell books for ten thousand rubles per copy.
Books from the authors began to arrive immediately (by mail). Seryozha, of course, did not offer to buy these books to anyone. He was putting the incoming books in a separate bookcase.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the store. Someone was knocking on the door from the street. Seryozha made it a rule not to open the door to anyone. But it was a special knock. At regular intervals and it repeated three times after long pauses.
This is obviously not a random person!
Seryozha opened the door A tall guy in a green jumpsuit stood on the threshold. On the street, on the sidewalk, there was a scooter with a large trunk.
- Come in! What did you bring?
- I haven't seen you before. Who are you?
- I am a Book Trade Expert!
- A-a-a... I brought it here for you to look at.
The guy handed Seryozha a book. Dubovsky. "Textbook of creative success".
- The author brought this book. He wants to know about the sale possibilities... - The guy added.
Seryozha quickly flipped through the book.
"The book published well!" "A white (sheets of) paper!" "In general, the deal is cleverly delivered! Twenty people will look at the book, read it, and the author will be told that there are great doubts whether the book will be in demand among readers."
Seryozha especially liked the sub-chapter on signs. Simple, understandable, convenient to implement.
"I will think!" - Seryozha returned the book to the guy in the green jumpsuit.
The guy left.
Let's assume that the authors - they are the annoying flies.
Seryozha opened the window, found something sweet in the table, crushed it and put it on a piece of paper, on the windowsill.
He used the newspaper he found to ward off flies. And some of them he deftly beat with a newspaper.
Finally, a lot of flies arrived. It was a sign.
Seryozha began to kick the flies out with a newspaper. To chase them off.
Seryozha deleted his offer to sell books by authors for ten thousand rubles per one copy. He sent notifications to all authors who sent books that their books were not in demand.
They are obliged to take these books from Seryozha. But it's impossible to take them so easily, since this is an online store. That is, in order to get the books back, the authors must transfer (send) one hundred thousand rubles per copy to Seryozha. And if they do not do this within twenty-four hours, then the books become the property of Seryozha. ("Read the contractual terms more carefully!")
The authors of the books were mysteriously silent.
There was another conspiratorial knock on the door. A tall guy in a green jumpsuit was standing in the doorway.
Seryozha led the guy up to a bookcase where he put books received from authors - from those who wanted to earn significant amounts on their creative product.
The guy looked at the closet. He took some books out of the closet and examined them.
The guy in the green jumpsuit counted something on the calculator and showed the amount to Seryozha.
Seryozha nodded his head in agreement. The guy counted out the money and handed it to Seryozha.
Soon, the transportation of books on a scooter (with a large trunk) was completed.
Seryozha counted the money he had received once more. The amount is not astronomical. But the means were obtained in just a few days and with almost no effort. The main thing is to pay attention to the signs. Dubovsky wrote a useful book!
Now he, Seryozha, must hurry!
Seryozha was walking quickly down the street, heading to school.
"Today, the physics teacher will tell school students how to get water from the air. Let's hear it! It's interesting!"
