The customer thought it was too expensive, so he raised the price to 25 pounds and successfully sold the remaining pages to the customer.Manny witnessed all this and lamented that business was getting harder and harder, and suggested that Bernard change his business strategy.
As a result, Black Bookstore underwent a major renovation and added a new information desk and soft sofas.Customers can consult and pay at the information desk, or read comfortably on the sofa.However, the softness of the sofa is too high, and customers sink into it as soon as they sit down.
