I'm sure many people have heard of this bookstore-the age of paper. She is elegant and chic, and almost everyone who has been to the Times Bookstore will like this bookstore and pass it on by word of mouth. Comfortable decoration environment, strong reading atmosphere, unique business model, people can not help but praise, lingering. It is different from Xinhua Bookstore's shopping bookstore with a strong commercial atmosphere, but a cultural and leisure brand pavilion with a romantic atmosphere like a coffee shop. Imagine: how pleasant it is to order a cup of milk tea, sit on the desk and read your favorite books, indulge in warm lights and quiet running water, and swim in the ocean of knowledge! Therefore, in Xinhua Bookstore, books are mostly bought, but in the era of paper, bookstores mostly use their spare time to cultivate sentiment and improve cultural and artistic self-restraint.

So, the problem came! Does the bookstore make money in the era of paper? How is the bookstore profitable in the era of paper? This is a question from many readers of Times Bookstore who like paper. Indeed, the bookstore in the era of paper is very good, and it can hardly find anything wrong, but its business model of "emphasizing culture, ignoring commerce and favoring public welfare" has made many people express their incomprehension and even some worries. After all, the paper age bookstore in the business district, its rent, property fee, decoration and maintenance fee, clerk's salary, water and electricity network fee, and even book cost and depreciation are all costs and all need money to support its operation. You can see many famous readers, but few people buy drinks and books.
First of all, WeChat official account
talks about his views on the paper age bookstore: I like the environment and atmosphere of the paper age bookstore very much, and I recognize such a "cultural and artistic boutique" business model. Bookstores have style, charm and cleanliness. Although the books on display are not as comprehensive as Xinhua Bookstore, they are all carefully selected and worth reading. The bookstore has a comfortable environment, flowing water, stones, flowers, and lights. Every place is a scene, and every place is very attentive. This is a bookstore that makes you feel happy when you see her, and it is a place where your heart will calm down when you walk in. For the increasingly impetuous social atmosphere, we really need such a company that can purify the social atmosphere and promote the development of social culture to be heavy and quality. Love of reading, deep reading and quality are the development direction that a national culture should stick to.
Although I often claim to be a scholar, I like and recognize the paper-based bookstore business model, but I have to consider practical issues. To put it bluntly: if you don't make money, why should you maintain it? At present, Grandpa Four in WeChat official account Science and Technology Circle has not found an authoritative and detailed answer to this question on the Internet. From the comprehensive media reports and netizens' answers, we only know that there is someone behind the investment, who is it, and I don't know. The original intention is not for profit, but for culture. However, from the reality, products or services with public welfare nature and feelings can only continue to operate except for government promotion and investment by business tycoons. According to the observation and analysis and the disclosure of the bookstore clerk, the bookstore in the era of paper actually didn't make money, and there were only four bookstores in Zhengzhou, Hefei, Guilin and Xiamen, which were far less developed than similar commercial bookstores. Therefore, in the current situation,
