Chapter 80 The Shortcut to Enlightenment

Lu Yuxin handed over a form and said: "This is the sales report of Meteor Book Bar last week. The total sales are 66 yuan, and the profit is 14.5 yuan. The profit was about 15 yuan."

"15 million? That much?"

Liu Xing was a little surprised. Last week, he devoted himself to reading "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", and ignored the business of the book club. Unexpectedly, he still made 15 yuan.

"Last week's income mainly came from "The Master Craftsman of the Book Coffin". This book sold 57 copies and made a profit of 13.2 yuan." Lu Yuxin reminded, "Liu Xing, take a look at this sales report. No problem, I'll log in."

Liu Xing glanced twice, picked up the pen, and signed the sales report.He is the owner of the book bar, and he needs to look over all the accounts of the book bar.

"The Meteor Book Bar will officially open next month, and many people have come to the book bar to apply for jobs in the past few days."

At this time, Lu Yuxin opened a drawer of the cash desk, took out a thick stack of documents, and handed them over, "There are a total of 44 resumes and materials of applicants, and they are applying for the position of waiter at Meteor Book Bar. .The book bar only needs to recruit 20 waiters for the time being, take a look, who are you going to hire?"

Liu Xing picked up the resumes of the applicants. These materials were sorted out by Lu Yuxin, and they were very detailed. They listed the advantages and disadvantages of the 44 applicants at a glance.

After quickly scanning the resumes of 44 applicants, Liu Xing picked out 20 resumes and said, "We will hire these 20 people."

"You chose it so quickly?" Lu Yuxin asked with surprise on her pretty face, "These 44 applicants are all in good condition. I didn't know who to choose for most of the day. Already selected, what is the basis for you to hire employees?"

"It's very simple, whoever looks good will be hired."

"..." Lu Yuxin was a little speechless, "How can we just look at the appearance? We are recruiting waiters, not recruiting models."

Liu Xing disagrees: "The waiters are beautiful, even if the service attitude is poor, customers are easy to tolerate. On the contrary, the waiters are too abstract, even if the service attitude is first-class, customers may not buy it. Most people are more tolerant towards beautiful women , It is definitely beneficial to choose a sweet-looking girl as a waiter under the same salary conditions. As for the service attitude, it cannot be seen from the resume. Try it for a while before talking. Stay if you can, and fire if you can’t. "

Lu Yuxin always felt that what he said was unreasonable, but she didn't know how to refute it, so she asked, "By the way, there is one more thing. On the opening day of the bookstore, do you want to invite a professional celebration company to help plan it?"

"There is no need for Celebration Company." Liu Xing said, "The opening of the book bar should be easier, and I don't have the energy to make so many messy things."

"Liu Xing, I think Celebration Company still needs it." At this time, Wang Lanlan, who was writing a novel, raised her head and interjected, "You must not be so embarrassed like when the bookstore opened last time!"

Lu Yuxin was curious: "What happened last time?"

"The last time Meteor Bookstore opened, Liu Xing didn't do anything. It was deserted on the opening day." Wang Lanlan recalled, "Except for me setting off a few strings of firecrackers and fireworks, there was no one who supported me, not even a single customer. ..."

"Nonsense, who said there were no customers?" Liu Xing reminded, "Didn't the police be called later?"

"Hahaha! Yes, yes, yes, I set off firecrackers and attracted two policemen, so I was almost fined." Wang Lanlan put away the smile on her face and said seriously, "Liu Xing, this time the Meteor Book Bar opens. Don't be so miserable anymore, it must be prosperous and lively."

"Lan Lan is right, the opening must be grand." Lu Yuxin pointed to the resumes of the 20 applicants that Liu Xing had just selected, and asked, "Also, how much do you plan to pay the 20 waiters?"

Leaning on the counter, Liu Xingyu said earnestly: "Mr. Lu, you can handle small matters like salary by yourself without asking for my opinion. I have nothing to worry about your ability to handle affairs. I have something to do today. , take a step first, and the book bar will be handed over to you."

"What's your business, more important than the opening of the bookstore? You... Hey, Liu Xing, where are you going? Stop! Dizzy, why are you running away again!"

……

Leaving the book bar, Liu Xing took a taxi and was going to the office of the management committee in Fiction Street to have a chat with Chairman Wang Tairan.

Liu Xing is now ready to get absorbed in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". If you follow the normal reading method, it will take about a year or even longer to get absorbed.

It's just that the situation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a bit special, and there may be a more convenient method of immersion, because "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Babu" are inseparable, and their stories take place in the same martial arts world.

Liu Xing has been fascinated by "Dragon Babu", and there is already a world of "Dragon Babu" in his mind.Now that I am fascinated by "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", can I borrow some environmental information from the world of "Tian Long Ba Bu"?
This is like making a movie. When shooting the same series of movies, you can shoot the scene in the same place. There is no need to rebuild a new set every time you shoot a movie, which can save shooting time.

If this method is feasible, the time to be absorbed in "Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be greatly shortened.

Liu Xing did not find relevant reading theory on the Internet, so he went to Wang Tairan today to ask him for advice in person.

Ten minutes later, Liu Xing arrived at the office building of the Fiction Street Management Committee and went straight to the president's office.

The president's office is not accessible to ordinary people, and generally requires an appointment in advance, but Liu Xing does not need to be so troublesome. After he revealed his identity, he was taken to the president's office by a female assistant.

Liu Xing is Wang Lanlan's good friend, so Wang Tairan gave Liu Xing a special privilege, he can come to him whenever he needs something.

When Liu Xing walked to the door of the office, he heard a coughing sound. He saw Wang Tairan sitting at a desk and looking at the documents.

His physical condition seemed to be getting worse.

"Old Wang." Liu Xing knocked on the office door.

"It's Xiao Liu, come in." Wang Tairan put down the document in his hand, "What are you up to, kid, you haven't been here for a long time."

"I'm managing the business of the book bar." Liu Xing said again, "Old Wang, your health is not very good, you should rest more."

Wang Tairan smiled lightly and said: "I will retire in four months, and there are some things that cannot be delayed. Besides, my health is getting worse day by day, and I may leave at any time. If these things are not dealt with, I will not have the opportunity to deal with them in the future." gone."

Listening to his words, Liu Xing felt sore in his heart.

Wang Tairan can be regarded as the first reading tutor Liu Xing met, and he learned many reading theories from Wang Tairan.Among them, Wang Tairan gave him the copy of "Ma Xingkong's Entrance to the Gods" as a gift.

Now that Wang Tairan's health is deteriorating, Liu Xing is naturally not feeling well.If Wang Tairan had some kind of disease, Liu Xing would definitely find a way to help him cure it, but Wang Tairan was not sick at all, but was aging naturally.

Wang Tairan is already 98 years old. People who live to this age, no matter how healthy they are, are still only one step away from death.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, and no one can stop them.

"Xiao Liu, is there something you need to see me today?" Wang Tairan asked directly.

"I have a question." Liu Xing said, "The art of engaging reading needs to transform words into images. If the world environment of the two novels is the same, can the images of the two novels be shared?"

After listening, Wang Tairan was surprised and asked, "Why do you ask this question?"

"Uh..." Liu Xing lied, "When I was sleeping last night, I had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of it."

"Is it really what you thought?"

"I don't have to lie."

After a brief silence, Wang Tairan heaved a long sigh, and said with emotion: "After so many years, someone finally asked this question again. The question you raised is called 'same land and different feelings' in the theory of reading skills. .”

"Same situation? What do you mean?"

"Different emotions in the same land refer to different storylines happening in the same world environment." Wang Tairan said, "Some novels have the same world environment, but different plots. This is 'same land and different emotions'."

Liu Xing nodded, this is exactly the question he wanted to ask. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" are different stories in the same martial arts world, which belong to the category of "same land and different feelings".

Wang Tairan said slowly: "Among the more than 70000 students I have taught, you are the second person to ask the question of 'same land and different feelings'."

"Who is the first one?" Liu Xing was curious.

"The first person who asked this question was Duan Feng, a genius student in the School of Fiction 40 years ago. He has an excellent imagination and is a rare reading prodigy in ten years. At the age of 16, he was in the Won No.2 in the juvenile group in the 1nd Huaxia Novel Reading Contest, the future is limitless."

Wang Tairan said regretfully, "Unfortunately, Duan Feng later joined the Money Publishing Club and failed to resist the temptation of money. He became Jin Santong's right-hand man and began to engage in some illegal financial activities. From then on, he went astray. The genius is gone."

Unexpectedly, someone thought about a similar question decades ago. Liu Xing asked: "So, can 'same land and different feelings' be used in reading?"

"Theoretically, it is possible." Wang Tairan affirmed, "If the technique of 'same place and different feelings' is applied to reading skills, the reading efficiency can be increased several times."

Hearing this, Liu Xing secretly rejoiced, if the reading efficiency can be increased several times, then the time to be absorbed in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can be shortened several times!
This is a shortcut to get absorbed in "Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
