I opened a mall in ancient times
Chapter 82 The First Day of Store Opening
Of course Luo Chaochao wants to go to the capital.
As Zhou Jiedushi said, Kangzhou City is too small. Even if it develops here, the speed is slow, and the customers it faces are relatively single, and there is not much oil and water.
This place is really too remote. Even though Kangzhou City is a trading city, most of the people who come here are businessmen from Beidi or the Western Regions.It's not that there are no merchants in Sheng country, but what they want are spices and some weird things from other countries. Cloth, which is a thing that has gone to the south, has no market at all.
Luo Chaochao's business is not limited to the domestic market, and Sheng country is far from being his main source of income. He can have Beidi, Xiyu and Sheng country together, but when choosing together, he will definitely choose Sheng country.
Who made Sheng Kingdom have a large land, rich resources and rich people? In the final analysis, Luo Chaochao still wants to make more money.
As for the Western Regions and Beidi, it can only be regarded as icing on the cake.
"It's best for you to think like this." Zhou Jiedu envoy pondered for a while, and then said, "Then... why don't you go to the capital with Wei Taiwei first? Wei Taiwei will leave tomorrow morning, if you clean up now, you should Can catch up."
"...This is not good." Luo Chaoxi politely refused.
It would take at most three or four days to go back and forth by myself, but it would take at least a month to go back with Wei Taiwei and the others. Not to mention the waste of time, it is also very tiring. It's time to get things done in Kangzhou City, then recruit a new batch of employees, and then take the first batch of veterans to develop branches in other cities.
After doing this calculation, he still has a lot of things to do, and he has no time to run to the capital.
Luo Chaochao will not consider going to the capital until the work of the branch is over, or until winter comes.
"That's right, there are a lot of unfinished business in Kangzhou City." Zhou Jiedu thought for a while and understood Luo Chaochao's concerns, so he no longer insisted on letting Luo Chaochao go to the capital now, "Do you want to go back now or send it off tomorrow morning?" Go back after Taiwei Wei?"
"Let's go back after seeing off Captain Wei. Actually, I'm more curious about how to deal with Lu Mingcheng." Luo Chaoxi asked.
This Lu Mingcheng hadn't finished his trial yet, and he was seriously injured. If he took someone along casually, he would easily die on the way.If a person dies, there will be no hostages, and it will be difficult to pursue accountability.
Not to mention that the emperor wanted to mess with the Lu family now, even if the emperor didn't move the Lu family, after finding out that the Lu family had done this, he would do something to the Lu family.
Lu Mingcheng was an important hostage, if he was lost halfway, it would be hard to say.
So we must ensure Lu Mingcheng's safety.
"This is easy." Zhou Jiedu envoy stroked his beard and said.
They also have their own special escort methods. According to the current speed of news dissemination, as long as the Lu family does not react and snatch people away within half a month, they can safely go to the capital.
Of course, if the Lu family reacted and rushed to snatch someone, they also had another way to deal with it.
After thinking for a while, Luo Chaoxi asked, "By the way, I have a few good martial artists under my command. If you need them, you can ask them to protect Lu Mingcheng together."
"Shouldn't be used." Zhou Jiedu hesitated, "I plan to bring two thousand soldiers, and a deputy capital commander. They are all elites among the elites, and they are more than enough to protect Lu Mingcheng."
Luo Chao Chao has a different point of view.
"Before we arrested the people from the studio, it meant we had an enmity with the studio. They thought we were the government, so they didn't necessarily want to do anything to us, but they probably would attack Lu Mingcheng and wanted to kill the person who exposed the studio. The strength of the thugs is not bad, in order to kill Lu Mingcheng, there is no telling how many people will be brought. If it is an ordinary killer, it is fine, but if there are masters from a photo studio intervening, the situation may become very complicated, ordinary soldiers can only become cannon fodder."
Zhou Jiedu envoy thought it was the same reason, so he asked, "Then do you have someone to choose?"
"Qingzhu, in fact, Songzhi is also fine, but she is outside now and is not in Kangzhou City for the time being, but Qingzhu and the others have private contact information, and they can call her away directly when they are in the city where they are. And Zhulan, her martial arts Although not top-notch, his attainments in military law are very good."
Qingzhu and the others are really strong in combat, while Zhulan is just making up the numbers.
After all, she was a human being before she died, and she could understand these twists and turns. With him around, Luo Chaochao could feel at ease.
"Then listen to your arrangement. You can look at the person who arranges it, but it's really inconvenient for women...but it's not a big problem." Zhou Jiedushi said to Luo Chaochao again after thinking for a while, "You always do so carefully."
"I also got the benefits, and these are what I should do, not to mention that I am not selfish at all, I am still waiting for Zhulan and the others to go to the capital, and they can help me take care of the few things in the capital by the way." The house and the shop." Luo Chaoxi shook his head, "Let's talk about the future, I'll deal with the things in the shop first."
"Go, this is for you." Jiedushi Zhou gave Luo Chaochao a waist badge, "Use this, the soldiers won't stop you if you go to other places."
After Luo Chaoxi put it away and thanked him, he took his leave and left.
That night, the torches of the City Lord's Mansion and Yamen were lit all night, and everyone was busy waiting for the dawn.
The barracks temporarily dispatched an army of 2000 people to escort Taiwei Wei and the others back to the capital. After receiving Luo Chaochao's order, Qingzhu and Zhulan quickly packed their things and planned to fight with Zhou Jiedu to envoy them. Go together.
Anyway, it was just escorting people there, and they separated after arriving at the place.
However, the two of them also received another mission from Luo Chaochao at the same time, taking advantage of this time to go to the capital to arrange the things prepared in advance for Luo Chaochao.
What was taken away was the land and house deeds rewarded by the previous emperor.
Qingzhu and the others contacted Songzhi by themselves, and two people who were incompatible with the army came to the army on horseback.
Together with them are several male monster employees in the store, a total of five people, who are responsible for reclaiming wasteland in the capital.
"It's a pity that you don't go with us." Before leaving, Wei Taiwei said to Luo Chaoxi with regret.
In the middle of their convoy was a wooden carriage, and there was a person lying on his stomach, still wearing a prison uniform. It was Lu Mingcheng who had been put in prison and was now being taken to the capital.
Luo Chaoxi glanced at him, he was lying there, the buttocks and thighs seemed to have been medicated, but the blood oozing out could still be seen.
"Can he last to the capital with his physical fitness?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem." Wei Taiwei glanced, "We have brought several doctors and enough medicinal materials."
Only then did Luo Chaoxi feel relieved.
"Are you sure you're going to come to the capital in the future? About when?"
"When winter comes, it's time for Zhulan and the others to trouble the adults in the capital." Luo Chaochao said, "When I come to the capital, I will bring some souvenirs for the adults."
"Then I'll just wait." Wei Taiwei pinched the horse's belly and turned the horse's head, "It's getting late, we're going to set off first, Lao Zhou, you should also pay attention in Kangzhou City."
"You too, do what you can." Luo Chaochao said to Zhulan and the others, "If you have any questions, please contact me, or come back directly."
The last sentence is sound transmission into secret.
Zhulan wanted to say something else, she remembered that she was also a cultural person, and the heaviest thing she usually carried was the bamboo slips, but now she was sent to the army by Luo Chaochao as a thug.
Things are unpredictable.
It couldn't be easier for them monsters to come back, Luo Chaoxi gave some instructions, and then watched the group leave. Before leaving, Zhulan was quite reluctant.
"Okay, let's go, if you do well, come back and give you a raise."
"What I want is not a salary increase..." Zhulan muttered and followed
With so many people leaving together, Luo Chaochao was still a little bit reluctant, and couldn't help sighing as he watched the group of people drifting away.
However, as long as it goes well, it is also a good thing.
Luo Chaoxi stood at the gate of the city, watched until he could no longer see the two of them, and then returned to the city.
He still wanted to go back to the store, but looking at the brochure in his hand, Luo Chaoxi let out a sigh of relief.
I can't rest now, and I have to take advantage of this time to take all these shops as my own.
Hope you have enough liquidity.
Luo Chaochao is now in Kangzhou City, and all the shops belonging to the Lu family in Kangzhou City have been sealed up with seals on them. When these shopkeepers wake up, they find that their shops have been sealed, and they also know that the Lu family's shops are sealed. Luo Chaoxi took this opportunity to ask the clerk to send invitations to these shopkeepers, inviting them to come to the restaurant to talk about it.
The shopkeepers of these shops were even more at a loss when they received Luo Chaochao's invitation.
Then I learned the whole story and the truth from Luo Chaoxi, and I was even more frightened when I heard that the Lu family would be liquidated together.
Luo Chaochao took advantage of this to make a request.
They were already in Kangzhou City and had seen Luo Chaochao's methods.
The supermarket in Jiushui is so prosperous, how many merchants from other places buy from Luo Chaochao, and even the royal families of the Western Regions use the products in Luo Chaochao's store.
That's a tribute!
They can clearly see what Kangzhou City will look like, and what are the benefits of following Luo Chao.
Of course, there is also the relationship between the unlucky Lu Mingcheng.
In less than a day, all the streets and alleys were talking about Lu Mingcheng, saying that Lu Mingcheng had hooked up with Beidi, and even stole the defense map of Kangzhou City.
Compared with the Western Regions, everyone hates Beidi more, because Beidi is very barbaric and commits all kinds of crimes, such as burning, killing and looting. Every time Kangzhou City falls into war, it is almost always Beidi who initiates it.Although he can win every time, the fear of being terrified of being broken into the city is still scary.
The Lu family is far away in the south, but they can get involved with Beidi.
If a war really broke out, wouldn't the people of Beidi be able to march all the way from Kangzhou City to the capital?The Lu family in the south has no influence, and can even continue to cooperate with Beidi to make money.
Of course, the most important reason is that these businessmen are unwilling to take this muddy water. Collaborating with the enemy and treason is a serious crime against the nine clans. Although they do not belong to one of the nine clans of the Lu family, they are the property of the Lu family after all. , if they are liquidated, they will not be able to please.
Rather than sinking with the entire Lu family at that time, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to choose now and vote under Luo Chaochao's hands. Not only will it be profitable, but it will also be very popular. them.
Several people hesitated for a while, but decided to choose Luo Chaochao.
"If you agree, sign here." Luo Chaoxi said, "After signing, you will change to our Jiushui signboard, and other shops under your control will also be replaced with Jiushui's signboard. Sell Jiushui's stuff."
"Okay." After experiencing the initial psychological struggle, several bosses accepted it very quickly, signed and pledged very readily, and went to the yamen to file a record. Luo Chaoxi had more than a dozen more shops in his hands.
Kangzhou City is advancing quite fast, followed by Youzhou City.
Luo Chaoxi is not very familiar with Youzhou City, but there are still many Youzhou City customers in his store. There are still a few sleeping in the guest room, and they all belong to the Lu family. He was tricked by Lu Mingcheng before, but now If you tell them about this matter, you probably won't hesitate too much and agree directly.
"Then put away the ledgers, I'll check the ledgers." Luo Chaoxi said, he found a few people and brought back the ledgers of several shops in Kangzhou City.
Since it's all his, there must be an account reconciliation, and the shopkeepers all went back to the store together, lest Luo Chaochao find out the account problem, and they would not admit it.
Bosses disagree.
It's not that they haven't been to Luo Chaochao before, but the state of mind they came to Luo Chaochao this time is completely different from before.
In the past, I thought this was a competitor, but now I feel that this place is very friendly.
They can also buy from Luo Chao Chao cheaply.
As for checking accounts?
casual.
Anyway, it is impossible for Luo Chaochao to find out today, and they will still be released at night.
A group of people carried their things all the way back to Jiushui Supermarket in a carriage, and box after box of ledgers were placed on the cart.
When he returned to the store, the bosses who lived in the store tonight were already waiting at the door, as if they knew he would come back at this time.
These bosses feel like they are dreaming.
Yesterday they told Luo Chaoxi that Lu Mingcheng was going to torture them, and Lu Mingcheng was arrested that night. Although they didn't leave the shop, they heard outsiders talking about it.
Lu Mingcheng colluded with Beidi, leaked the defense map of Kangzhou City, and wanted to blame Luo Chaochao.
No wonder Lu Mingcheng said that Luo Chaochao would definitely be unlucky tomorrow.
This is a serious crime to punish the Nine Clans!
A few people were uneasy in the store, but the employees in the store acted as if nothing happened, doing whatever they were supposed to do, as if the commotion just now had no effect at all, and some people even came to persuade them not to stay on the first floor. If you wait for Luo Chao, you can go to the reception room and wait, and they will remember to tell them when Luo Chao comes back.
It’s just that!
Obviously such a big thing happened, why is their store so calm?As if their excitement was not worth mentioning!
Infected by this emotion, several bosses also calmed down, thinking that they were making too much of a fuss.
The bosses had just been persuaded to go upstairs, and not long after arriving upstairs, someone came to inform them that Luo Chaochao was back.
Several people hurried downstairs again.
When they went downstairs in a hurry, they saw Luo Chaoxi coming in hurriedly, with changed clothes, followed by a dozen strange men, followed by many people, unloading boxes from the cart one by one. , and then carried those boxes up.
And those middle-aged men who didn't have anything in their hands were very respectful towards Luo Chaoxi, and they didn't raise their heels until Luo Chaoxi entered the shop first.
Are they missing something?
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, but the person who asked Luo Chaoxi for help hesitated for a moment, and went to meet him.
"Boss Luo."
When Luo Chaochao saw them, he laughed immediately: "I just wanted to find you, go upstairs first, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"About the Lu family and your shop." Luo Chaochao waited for them to sit down in the meeting room, and then brought Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai out alone.
This kind of statistical ledger, checking for errors and omissions is perfect for a robot from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai to do, but it would be troublesome and a waste of time for Zhulan and the others to do it, not to mention that Zhulan has already gone to the capital with Wei Taiwei and the others.
Seeing that Luo Chaochao only asked one person to search, several bosses persuaded them kindly, "Boss, if one person can't find it, it is really impossible to find more accountants."
"I am enough alone." Hearing these people say this, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai just puffed up their chests very confidently.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai left with a large box of things.
When there were no other people, Luo Chaoxi told a few people and businessmen from Youzhou City about the Lu family's affairs. What he said was more detailed than the rumors. At least a few people heard from Luo Chaochao that Lu Mingcheng had been taken away. , will be escorted back to Beijing Zhongmiansheng.
They have all been escorted back to the capital, and they will definitely not be able to get anything good!
Several people swallowed subconsciously, covered in white sweat, and couldn't help muttering, "Then, what do you mean?"
"I want to eat all of Lu Mingcheng's property, as well as Lu Liang's." Luo Chaoxi said, "You can also choose not to follow me. Of course, there are other shops in Youzhou City besides you, and I will take care of them together. Take over."
"This..." Several people hesitated, took the paper Luo Chaoxi gave them, and looked at the contract on it.
To be honest, this condition is much better than what the Lu family gave them back then.
Although the Lu family is also the boss behind them, they are actually responsible for the purchase and management of the goods themselves. The Lu family's reputation can't help them at all, but even so, they still have to give the Lu family two cents of the money they sell. One, and the rest is the funds to keep the store running, and the money they make.
If the year is not good, they will pay back money.
The Lu family doesn't care about this kind of thing. Anyway, they only need to get the money regularly, and they don't care about the rest. Now, they only need to change the signboard, and then they can get the goods from Luo Chaochao at a cheap price, and they can make money. With more money, it is said that Luo Chaochao will develop new brands from time to time in order to maintain the popularity of that "brand".
No matter how you think about it, it's a good thing.
The local bosses in Kangzhou City, who were temporarily left aside, echoed the situation: "The boss is very good at doing business, and if you follow the boss, you will definitely not suffer."
Anyway, they think Luo Chaochao is very good, and he is young and has a better personality. More importantly, the items in his store are very novel, and they have sold well in Kangzhou City. The benefits that can be earned must be considerable.
A few people thought about it seriously, and there were other people wearing it, and found that it didn't seem to be any harm to become Luo Chaochao's distribution store, but the boss behind it changed from Lu's to Luo Chaochao, and it didn't cost much money.
Compared with the Lu family, Luo Chaochao is really a good boss.
So they also signed the contract.
"The other shops of the Lu family in Youzhou City are also troublesome to you." Luo Chaochao said kindly.
The news had already started last night, and when these merchants returned to Youzhou City, they would receive the news that the Lu family's shop was sealed up together.But with their own message, their shop can open normally and open before others.
Kangzhou City and Youzhou City are convenient and smooth, but other cities...may not be as smooth as these two cities.
The Lu family is well-known in Sheng Country as a big business. Although they are only businessmen, they have opened up many avenues with money. The important officials they have made friends with can't be counted on one hand. They are extremely arrogant and have no scruples.
Compared with them, Luo Chao Chao has no competitiveness at all.
Of course, it is not entirely absent.
"We will do our best in Kangzhou City, but how much we can do... depends on what other bosses in Youzhou City think." Several people were also in a dilemma, but they were also full of expectations for the future.
"Then are you going back now or in a few days?"
"Now, let's go back as soon as possible."
"Then you should leave as soon as possible."
After sending away Youzhou City, Luo Chaochao and several shopkeepers began to check the account books of these years.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai have already started checking accounts in another room.
Fortunately, the Lu family has taken root here in the last few years, and the books will not pile up into mountains, but there are definitely a lot.
However, this is not a problem for Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. He entered these documents into his mind, and then analyzed them with the system. An account book can be processed in only 2 minutes.
This is the butler robot of the future.
He separated the problematic books and put them aside, and even separated them according to the shop floor. At first glance, it seemed that there was no problem, but after carefully checking the quantity and unit price, he found that each had its own tricks.
The shopkeepers are not worried either. After all, it will take at least seven or eight days to check so many books. It seems that Luo Chaochao wants to end it in one day?
how is this possible.
Are they that easy to solve?
They didn't believe Luo Chao Chao could do it at all.
But in just one afternoon, the man named Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai came with a ledger like a hill.
"Everything has been checked." The short-haired man pushed the transparent disc on the bridge of his nose and said, "Thirteen of the sixteen shops have problems, and three of them have accounting loopholes of 3000 taels or more. Xu Liu..."
The words of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai were coherent, clearly stating the names of these people and the money they were greedy for.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hu talked about it, but the faces of the shopkeepers in the room became more and more ugly, and finally stayed pale, not knowing how to explain for a while.
They thought Luo Chao couldn't find out.
Of course everyone knows that Luo Chaochao is very powerful, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to pull such a big industry when he was not yet a weak crown.But each of these sixteen shops has been open for seven or eight years, and even though these books have been streamlined, they are still full of three bullock carts.
Even the oldest and most proficient old accountants have to count for ten days to complete the count, and they may not be able to find out the fake accounts they made, but Luo Chaochao actually did it.
Sitting behind the desk, Luo Chaochao raised his eyebrows listening to the "700 taels".
Kangzhou City is a bit out of the way, but foreign trade is well developed, and it surprised him that these stores have only been greedy for such a small amount of money in the past seven or eight years.
Everyone knows it, and it can be regarded as an industry insider.
Normally, Luo Chaochao would probably just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye to pass by, but it is different now, as he has just ascended to the position, this is the time to establish his prestige, if he handles it lightly, how can he convince them .
Luo Chaoxi took the list given by Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, "Come on, let's talk about it, let me tell you, you are the most greedy."
He was referring to the one who was greedy for more than 3000 taels.
Luo Chaochao's attitude was very casual, but it was this casual attitude that made these people break out in cold sweat.
Luo Chaochao had never touched their ledger before, but now Luo Chaochao...
"Sorry, boss!" Several people knelt down together, Luo Chaoxi glanced at them and didn't let them get up, "Where did all this money go?"
"This, it's used on the family members."
Several people hesitated.
In fact, the distribution of more than 6000 taels to 100 people is not much, and it is actually about [-] taels per year, not to mention that some of them are very small, and there are only a few larger ones.
But the loopholes of these years put together is an extremely huge number.
And this number is enough to send them to the government together, to be imprisoned for one crime of theft, and to be beheaded.
That's nearly 2 taels of silver!
"Really?" Luo Chaoxi asked again.
"Also, go to Red Street..." the one who was the most greedy couldn't help but said.
Luo Chaoxi looked up at the person who said he was going to the Red Street, and yawned: "You are sincere."
"This……"
Isn't that what you asked? !
He obviously said it frankly because he saw how terrifying Luo Chao Chao was, otherwise he wouldn't have said it in front of so many people.
Luo Chaoxi asked about the whereabouts of the money... Was he trying to send them to the government?
It shouldn't happen, they just signed the contract, these shops will be owned by Luo Chaochao in the future, if they are sent to the government, won't these shops be left alone?
But with Luo Chao Chao's means, it's not like he can't do this kind of thing.
"What are you going to do with the more than 6000 taels of silver?" Luo Chaoxi asked, "Don't expect me to not pursue it with so much silver."
That's right, it's nearly 2 taels of silver, even if it is simply put in the bank to increase the interest rate, it can increase by more than 100 taels of silver a year.
It is true that some of these people have relatively little greed, but this amount is relatively speaking. Dozens of taels of silver may not sound like much, but these tens of taels of silver are huge sums of money that ordinary people may not be able to earn in a lifetime of hard work.
"Here, we..."
Now that Luo Chaochao threw the question to them, they were not mentally prepared at all, so how could they give an answer that satisfies Luo Chaochao temporarily?
So they just knelt on the spot, mumbling, unable to come up with a solution for a long time.
They completely overturned their first impression of Luo Chao.
When they first came into contact with Luo Chaochao, they felt that Luo Chaochao was a young man who was capable but gentle, and they were very happy that their boss was a talkative person.
Once the boss is easy to talk, the people under them will have a more relaxed life and can take the opportunity to make some money.
The only inconvenience is probably that the boss is too close to them.
But it doesn't matter, as long as it's easy to talk about.
But who would have thought that Luo Chaochao directly shattered their cognition. This Luo Chaochao looked gentle, but he was not easy to bully, and he caught them off guard as soon as he came, and gave a few people a blow.
The few of them hurriedly thought of ways to make amends, and then they were horrified to find that the evidence was in Luo Chaoxi's hands, and it was useless for them to argue.
It wasn't until Luo Chaoxi got a little impatient that he opened his mouth and said, "I don't want to do things too badly. The money is not a small amount. I don't think you can afford it. So, sign a 20-year long contract with me." Bar."
Luo Chaoxi thought that the long-term contract was a 20-year long-term contract. After 20 years, these shopkeepers are still free, but looking at the expressions of these people, it seems that they don't know what this means. looking at each other.
"To put it simply, it's a contract of sale, but the time limit is 20 years. During these 20 years, you need to work for me." Luo Chaoxi said, "A few of you...can you earn so much money for me?"
When a few people heard that it was a contract of sale, they were shocked at first, and subconsciously wanted to reject it. After all, the contract of sale is equivalent to handing over their lives to other people. They will become slaves in this life, and their life and death are in the hands of others. , if Luo Chao Chao wanted them to die, they would not be able to resist.
But this 20 years...
With the deed of sale in place, the 20 years that Luo Chaochao said later is acceptable.
The oldest of these shopkeepers is only in their forties, and they will only be in their 20s after 60 years. Who knows what will happen to them when they are [-] years old?
"I'm not the kind of person who would send you to death, I just work for me." Luo Chaoxi stretched out his hand to the teacup on the table, and just as he stretched out his hand, he saw that Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai had already brought the teacup for him.
"If you agree, I won't report to the official." Luo Chaoxi took the tea and found that he still doesn't like drinking tea, preferring sweet drinks like cola or milk tea, but he still took a sip before putting it down. "With so much money, if you go to prison, you will be beheaded anyway."
These words really spoke to their hearts.
If it is possible, who would be willing to behead it?
Compared with beheading and losing his life, it is better to be a long-term laborer for Luo Chaochao for 20 years.
Almost without much hesitation, several people nodded: "But at your order."
Luo Chaochao then continued: "I will send an old employee of the store to your store as a deputy manager to manage the store together with you. The two supervise each other, and the store in charge needs to be replaced every three years." Luo Chaochao said, " As for the others, I will organize them into a book for you, and you will follow the rules and regulations.”
In fact, it is the employee code, but these few people don't know it, they just think that Luo Chaochao is beating them, so they can only respond.
Originally, I would feel very regretful when I thought that my future would be controlled by others, but it is very cost-effective to think that I can change my life with only 20 years of freedom.
Luo Chaoxi got the deeds of sale from the people present, folded them up and put them in the drawer of the desk casually, the indifferent look made the hearts of several people heavy, but when Luo Chaoxi signaled to them that they could leave, they still went out in a hurry up.
There were a few employees standing at the door, and when they saw a few people coming out, they immediately greeted them, "Follow me."
Luo Chaochao began to think about recruiting newcomers again.
In fact, [-] people were recruited again not long ago, and it is still in the training period. The old employees can do one-to-one work, and after a month or two they can take up their jobs independently, and then they can bring in the next batch.
In addition to working in the main store, these old employees will also take a few new employees to the newly gathered branches in Connecticut City to work with the original employees in those stores.
On the one hand, it is monitoring, and on the other hand, it is to let all store employees learn how to maintain a service model.
It doesn't make sense for the main store to do a good job, but let other stores ruin their reputation.
Luo Chaoxi was still thinking about the future direction of development, and the shopkeepers who had just left the store finally let out a sigh of relief.
This day was full of ups and downs, which was really frightening. Not only did the bosses behind them change, they also changed from being free to Luo Chaochao’s long-term workers. If you want to listen to Luo Chaochao in the future, the current store also needs to be remodeled to be similar to Luo Chaochao’s. The shape of the storefront.
Can it be regarded as... well?
Although different than expected.
"I still can't figure out how he managed it in such a short period of time." Several people left from the gate, and after walking for a long time, someone finally spoke.
"It doesn't matter how he found out, the important thing is that he can find out. Fortunately, Boss Luo didn't care about it and gave us a chance to make up for our mistakes, otherwise all of us would be caught and lose our heads!"
Now it is meaningless to talk about how Luo Chaoxi discovered it. Now they are all under Luo Chaoxi's subordinates. It can be said that they are completely tied to the same boat.
They only hope that Luo Chaoxi will not suddenly engage in some kind of flirty operation like the Lu family did, causing everyone to suffer.
Things are going well.
A few people tore off the seal after they went back, and sold some goods that didn't match the tonality of Jiushui Supermarket at a discount to make room for new things.
Old customers feel very strange.
Although the discount is very good, why did they suddenly sell it at a lower price?It's not the Chinese New Year holiday, you can't just feel that you can't drive and you have to run away, right?
"We have a new owner."
These guests got a news that surprised them.
"After a while, our store will be renamed Jiushui, and the store will sell products from Jiushui Supermarket." These shopkeepers explained.
The shops of these shopkeepers are not necessarily in the city, and some are in the county.
The county seat is some distance away from the city of Kangzhou. Coupled with the high consumption, few people in the county come here. Luo Chaochao also wants to take this opportunity to push the goods to the secondary market.
Ziyunxuan's main customers are ordinary people, and their business is doing well now.
After selling some of their inventory, the owners of the secondary stores quickly put new signs on their stores.
Obviously, they are all wooden signboards that are not bad, but when the new signboards are put up, everyone can't help but sigh.
Who would have imagined that the Lu family, which was so powerful not long ago, would be taken down by Luo Chaoxi, a young man who was not as young as a weak crown?
But it's useless to worry about these things now, at least now Luo Chaochao has seized the opportunity to control one-third of the economic lifeline of Kangzhou City.
After these shops changed their doors, they closed down and reopened soon. When they reopened, the decoration of the shops was changed to another style.
The color is light, very simple and generous.
If the customers who have been to Jiushui Supermarket in the city come here, they can recognize the style of Jiushui Supermarket at a glance, but it is probably because these stores are intended for ordinary people, and the decoration is not so exquisite. The kind of shop that you can go in, the fancy glass has been removed, leaving only the light-colored counter and some modern arrangements.
Luo Chaochao finally pushed his daily necessities and cosmetics business from the rich to the common people.
For this reason, Luo Chaochao even launched several affordable cosmetics and skin care products.
If he doesn't believe it, he can't sell it!
After all, there are far more ordinary people than rich people.
As Zhou Jiedushi said, Kangzhou City is too small. Even if it develops here, the speed is slow, and the customers it faces are relatively single, and there is not much oil and water.
This place is really too remote. Even though Kangzhou City is a trading city, most of the people who come here are businessmen from Beidi or the Western Regions.It's not that there are no merchants in Sheng country, but what they want are spices and some weird things from other countries. Cloth, which is a thing that has gone to the south, has no market at all.
Luo Chaochao's business is not limited to the domestic market, and Sheng country is far from being his main source of income. He can have Beidi, Xiyu and Sheng country together, but when choosing together, he will definitely choose Sheng country.
Who made Sheng Kingdom have a large land, rich resources and rich people? In the final analysis, Luo Chaochao still wants to make more money.
As for the Western Regions and Beidi, it can only be regarded as icing on the cake.
"It's best for you to think like this." Zhou Jiedu envoy pondered for a while, and then said, "Then... why don't you go to the capital with Wei Taiwei first? Wei Taiwei will leave tomorrow morning, if you clean up now, you should Can catch up."
"...This is not good." Luo Chaoxi politely refused.
It would take at most three or four days to go back and forth by myself, but it would take at least a month to go back with Wei Taiwei and the others. Not to mention the waste of time, it is also very tiring. It's time to get things done in Kangzhou City, then recruit a new batch of employees, and then take the first batch of veterans to develop branches in other cities.
After doing this calculation, he still has a lot of things to do, and he has no time to run to the capital.
Luo Chaochao will not consider going to the capital until the work of the branch is over, or until winter comes.
"That's right, there are a lot of unfinished business in Kangzhou City." Zhou Jiedu thought for a while and understood Luo Chaochao's concerns, so he no longer insisted on letting Luo Chaochao go to the capital now, "Do you want to go back now or send it off tomorrow morning?" Go back after Taiwei Wei?"
"Let's go back after seeing off Captain Wei. Actually, I'm more curious about how to deal with Lu Mingcheng." Luo Chaoxi asked.
This Lu Mingcheng hadn't finished his trial yet, and he was seriously injured. If he took someone along casually, he would easily die on the way.If a person dies, there will be no hostages, and it will be difficult to pursue accountability.
Not to mention that the emperor wanted to mess with the Lu family now, even if the emperor didn't move the Lu family, after finding out that the Lu family had done this, he would do something to the Lu family.
Lu Mingcheng was an important hostage, if he was lost halfway, it would be hard to say.
So we must ensure Lu Mingcheng's safety.
"This is easy." Zhou Jiedu envoy stroked his beard and said.
They also have their own special escort methods. According to the current speed of news dissemination, as long as the Lu family does not react and snatch people away within half a month, they can safely go to the capital.
Of course, if the Lu family reacted and rushed to snatch someone, they also had another way to deal with it.
After thinking for a while, Luo Chaoxi asked, "By the way, I have a few good martial artists under my command. If you need them, you can ask them to protect Lu Mingcheng together."
"Shouldn't be used." Zhou Jiedu hesitated, "I plan to bring two thousand soldiers, and a deputy capital commander. They are all elites among the elites, and they are more than enough to protect Lu Mingcheng."
Luo Chao Chao has a different point of view.
"Before we arrested the people from the studio, it meant we had an enmity with the studio. They thought we were the government, so they didn't necessarily want to do anything to us, but they probably would attack Lu Mingcheng and wanted to kill the person who exposed the studio. The strength of the thugs is not bad, in order to kill Lu Mingcheng, there is no telling how many people will be brought. If it is an ordinary killer, it is fine, but if there are masters from a photo studio intervening, the situation may become very complicated, ordinary soldiers can only become cannon fodder."
Zhou Jiedu envoy thought it was the same reason, so he asked, "Then do you have someone to choose?"
"Qingzhu, in fact, Songzhi is also fine, but she is outside now and is not in Kangzhou City for the time being, but Qingzhu and the others have private contact information, and they can call her away directly when they are in the city where they are. And Zhulan, her martial arts Although not top-notch, his attainments in military law are very good."
Qingzhu and the others are really strong in combat, while Zhulan is just making up the numbers.
After all, she was a human being before she died, and she could understand these twists and turns. With him around, Luo Chaochao could feel at ease.
"Then listen to your arrangement. You can look at the person who arranges it, but it's really inconvenient for women...but it's not a big problem." Zhou Jiedushi said to Luo Chaochao again after thinking for a while, "You always do so carefully."
"I also got the benefits, and these are what I should do, not to mention that I am not selfish at all, I am still waiting for Zhulan and the others to go to the capital, and they can help me take care of the few things in the capital by the way." The house and the shop." Luo Chaoxi shook his head, "Let's talk about the future, I'll deal with the things in the shop first."
"Go, this is for you." Jiedushi Zhou gave Luo Chaochao a waist badge, "Use this, the soldiers won't stop you if you go to other places."
After Luo Chaoxi put it away and thanked him, he took his leave and left.
That night, the torches of the City Lord's Mansion and Yamen were lit all night, and everyone was busy waiting for the dawn.
The barracks temporarily dispatched an army of 2000 people to escort Taiwei Wei and the others back to the capital. After receiving Luo Chaochao's order, Qingzhu and Zhulan quickly packed their things and planned to fight with Zhou Jiedu to envoy them. Go together.
Anyway, it was just escorting people there, and they separated after arriving at the place.
However, the two of them also received another mission from Luo Chaochao at the same time, taking advantage of this time to go to the capital to arrange the things prepared in advance for Luo Chaochao.
What was taken away was the land and house deeds rewarded by the previous emperor.
Qingzhu and the others contacted Songzhi by themselves, and two people who were incompatible with the army came to the army on horseback.
Together with them are several male monster employees in the store, a total of five people, who are responsible for reclaiming wasteland in the capital.
"It's a pity that you don't go with us." Before leaving, Wei Taiwei said to Luo Chaoxi with regret.
In the middle of their convoy was a wooden carriage, and there was a person lying on his stomach, still wearing a prison uniform. It was Lu Mingcheng who had been put in prison and was now being taken to the capital.
Luo Chaoxi glanced at him, he was lying there, the buttocks and thighs seemed to have been medicated, but the blood oozing out could still be seen.
"Can he last to the capital with his physical fitness?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem." Wei Taiwei glanced, "We have brought several doctors and enough medicinal materials."
Only then did Luo Chaoxi feel relieved.
"Are you sure you're going to come to the capital in the future? About when?"
"When winter comes, it's time for Zhulan and the others to trouble the adults in the capital." Luo Chaochao said, "When I come to the capital, I will bring some souvenirs for the adults."
"Then I'll just wait." Wei Taiwei pinched the horse's belly and turned the horse's head, "It's getting late, we're going to set off first, Lao Zhou, you should also pay attention in Kangzhou City."
"You too, do what you can." Luo Chaochao said to Zhulan and the others, "If you have any questions, please contact me, or come back directly."
The last sentence is sound transmission into secret.
Zhulan wanted to say something else, she remembered that she was also a cultural person, and the heaviest thing she usually carried was the bamboo slips, but now she was sent to the army by Luo Chaochao as a thug.
Things are unpredictable.
It couldn't be easier for them monsters to come back, Luo Chaoxi gave some instructions, and then watched the group leave. Before leaving, Zhulan was quite reluctant.
"Okay, let's go, if you do well, come back and give you a raise."
"What I want is not a salary increase..." Zhulan muttered and followed
With so many people leaving together, Luo Chaochao was still a little bit reluctant, and couldn't help sighing as he watched the group of people drifting away.
However, as long as it goes well, it is also a good thing.
Luo Chaoxi stood at the gate of the city, watched until he could no longer see the two of them, and then returned to the city.
He still wanted to go back to the store, but looking at the brochure in his hand, Luo Chaoxi let out a sigh of relief.
I can't rest now, and I have to take advantage of this time to take all these shops as my own.
Hope you have enough liquidity.
Luo Chaochao is now in Kangzhou City, and all the shops belonging to the Lu family in Kangzhou City have been sealed up with seals on them. When these shopkeepers wake up, they find that their shops have been sealed, and they also know that the Lu family's shops are sealed. Luo Chaoxi took this opportunity to ask the clerk to send invitations to these shopkeepers, inviting them to come to the restaurant to talk about it.
The shopkeepers of these shops were even more at a loss when they received Luo Chaochao's invitation.
Then I learned the whole story and the truth from Luo Chaoxi, and I was even more frightened when I heard that the Lu family would be liquidated together.
Luo Chaochao took advantage of this to make a request.
They were already in Kangzhou City and had seen Luo Chaochao's methods.
The supermarket in Jiushui is so prosperous, how many merchants from other places buy from Luo Chaochao, and even the royal families of the Western Regions use the products in Luo Chaochao's store.
That's a tribute!
They can clearly see what Kangzhou City will look like, and what are the benefits of following Luo Chao.
Of course, there is also the relationship between the unlucky Lu Mingcheng.
In less than a day, all the streets and alleys were talking about Lu Mingcheng, saying that Lu Mingcheng had hooked up with Beidi, and even stole the defense map of Kangzhou City.
Compared with the Western Regions, everyone hates Beidi more, because Beidi is very barbaric and commits all kinds of crimes, such as burning, killing and looting. Every time Kangzhou City falls into war, it is almost always Beidi who initiates it.Although he can win every time, the fear of being terrified of being broken into the city is still scary.
The Lu family is far away in the south, but they can get involved with Beidi.
If a war really broke out, wouldn't the people of Beidi be able to march all the way from Kangzhou City to the capital?The Lu family in the south has no influence, and can even continue to cooperate with Beidi to make money.
Of course, the most important reason is that these businessmen are unwilling to take this muddy water. Collaborating with the enemy and treason is a serious crime against the nine clans. Although they do not belong to one of the nine clans of the Lu family, they are the property of the Lu family after all. , if they are liquidated, they will not be able to please.
Rather than sinking with the entire Lu family at that time, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to choose now and vote under Luo Chaochao's hands. Not only will it be profitable, but it will also be very popular. them.
Several people hesitated for a while, but decided to choose Luo Chaochao.
"If you agree, sign here." Luo Chaoxi said, "After signing, you will change to our Jiushui signboard, and other shops under your control will also be replaced with Jiushui's signboard. Sell Jiushui's stuff."
"Okay." After experiencing the initial psychological struggle, several bosses accepted it very quickly, signed and pledged very readily, and went to the yamen to file a record. Luo Chaoxi had more than a dozen more shops in his hands.
Kangzhou City is advancing quite fast, followed by Youzhou City.
Luo Chaoxi is not very familiar with Youzhou City, but there are still many Youzhou City customers in his store. There are still a few sleeping in the guest room, and they all belong to the Lu family. He was tricked by Lu Mingcheng before, but now If you tell them about this matter, you probably won't hesitate too much and agree directly.
"Then put away the ledgers, I'll check the ledgers." Luo Chaoxi said, he found a few people and brought back the ledgers of several shops in Kangzhou City.
Since it's all his, there must be an account reconciliation, and the shopkeepers all went back to the store together, lest Luo Chaochao find out the account problem, and they would not admit it.
Bosses disagree.
It's not that they haven't been to Luo Chaochao before, but the state of mind they came to Luo Chaochao this time is completely different from before.
In the past, I thought this was a competitor, but now I feel that this place is very friendly.
They can also buy from Luo Chao Chao cheaply.
As for checking accounts?
casual.
Anyway, it is impossible for Luo Chaochao to find out today, and they will still be released at night.
A group of people carried their things all the way back to Jiushui Supermarket in a carriage, and box after box of ledgers were placed on the cart.
When he returned to the store, the bosses who lived in the store tonight were already waiting at the door, as if they knew he would come back at this time.
These bosses feel like they are dreaming.
Yesterday they told Luo Chaoxi that Lu Mingcheng was going to torture them, and Lu Mingcheng was arrested that night. Although they didn't leave the shop, they heard outsiders talking about it.
Lu Mingcheng colluded with Beidi, leaked the defense map of Kangzhou City, and wanted to blame Luo Chaochao.
No wonder Lu Mingcheng said that Luo Chaochao would definitely be unlucky tomorrow.
This is a serious crime to punish the Nine Clans!
A few people were uneasy in the store, but the employees in the store acted as if nothing happened, doing whatever they were supposed to do, as if the commotion just now had no effect at all, and some people even came to persuade them not to stay on the first floor. If you wait for Luo Chao, you can go to the reception room and wait, and they will remember to tell them when Luo Chao comes back.
It’s just that!
Obviously such a big thing happened, why is their store so calm?As if their excitement was not worth mentioning!
Infected by this emotion, several bosses also calmed down, thinking that they were making too much of a fuss.
The bosses had just been persuaded to go upstairs, and not long after arriving upstairs, someone came to inform them that Luo Chaochao was back.
Several people hurried downstairs again.
When they went downstairs in a hurry, they saw Luo Chaoxi coming in hurriedly, with changed clothes, followed by a dozen strange men, followed by many people, unloading boxes from the cart one by one. , and then carried those boxes up.
And those middle-aged men who didn't have anything in their hands were very respectful towards Luo Chaoxi, and they didn't raise their heels until Luo Chaoxi entered the shop first.
Are they missing something?
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, but the person who asked Luo Chaoxi for help hesitated for a moment, and went to meet him.
"Boss Luo."
When Luo Chaochao saw them, he laughed immediately: "I just wanted to find you, go upstairs first, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"About the Lu family and your shop." Luo Chaochao waited for them to sit down in the meeting room, and then brought Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai out alone.
This kind of statistical ledger, checking for errors and omissions is perfect for a robot from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai to do, but it would be troublesome and a waste of time for Zhulan and the others to do it, not to mention that Zhulan has already gone to the capital with Wei Taiwei and the others.
Seeing that Luo Chaochao only asked one person to search, several bosses persuaded them kindly, "Boss, if one person can't find it, it is really impossible to find more accountants."
"I am enough alone." Hearing these people say this, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai just puffed up their chests very confidently.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai left with a large box of things.
When there were no other people, Luo Chaoxi told a few people and businessmen from Youzhou City about the Lu family's affairs. What he said was more detailed than the rumors. At least a few people heard from Luo Chaochao that Lu Mingcheng had been taken away. , will be escorted back to Beijing Zhongmiansheng.
They have all been escorted back to the capital, and they will definitely not be able to get anything good!
Several people swallowed subconsciously, covered in white sweat, and couldn't help muttering, "Then, what do you mean?"
"I want to eat all of Lu Mingcheng's property, as well as Lu Liang's." Luo Chaoxi said, "You can also choose not to follow me. Of course, there are other shops in Youzhou City besides you, and I will take care of them together. Take over."
"This..." Several people hesitated, took the paper Luo Chaoxi gave them, and looked at the contract on it.
To be honest, this condition is much better than what the Lu family gave them back then.
Although the Lu family is also the boss behind them, they are actually responsible for the purchase and management of the goods themselves. The Lu family's reputation can't help them at all, but even so, they still have to give the Lu family two cents of the money they sell. One, and the rest is the funds to keep the store running, and the money they make.
If the year is not good, they will pay back money.
The Lu family doesn't care about this kind of thing. Anyway, they only need to get the money regularly, and they don't care about the rest. Now, they only need to change the signboard, and then they can get the goods from Luo Chaochao at a cheap price, and they can make money. With more money, it is said that Luo Chaochao will develop new brands from time to time in order to maintain the popularity of that "brand".
No matter how you think about it, it's a good thing.
The local bosses in Kangzhou City, who were temporarily left aside, echoed the situation: "The boss is very good at doing business, and if you follow the boss, you will definitely not suffer."
Anyway, they think Luo Chaochao is very good, and he is young and has a better personality. More importantly, the items in his store are very novel, and they have sold well in Kangzhou City. The benefits that can be earned must be considerable.
A few people thought about it seriously, and there were other people wearing it, and found that it didn't seem to be any harm to become Luo Chaochao's distribution store, but the boss behind it changed from Lu's to Luo Chaochao, and it didn't cost much money.
Compared with the Lu family, Luo Chaochao is really a good boss.
So they also signed the contract.
"The other shops of the Lu family in Youzhou City are also troublesome to you." Luo Chaochao said kindly.
The news had already started last night, and when these merchants returned to Youzhou City, they would receive the news that the Lu family's shop was sealed up together.But with their own message, their shop can open normally and open before others.
Kangzhou City and Youzhou City are convenient and smooth, but other cities...may not be as smooth as these two cities.
The Lu family is well-known in Sheng Country as a big business. Although they are only businessmen, they have opened up many avenues with money. The important officials they have made friends with can't be counted on one hand. They are extremely arrogant and have no scruples.
Compared with them, Luo Chao Chao has no competitiveness at all.
Of course, it is not entirely absent.
"We will do our best in Kangzhou City, but how much we can do... depends on what other bosses in Youzhou City think." Several people were also in a dilemma, but they were also full of expectations for the future.
"Then are you going back now or in a few days?"
"Now, let's go back as soon as possible."
"Then you should leave as soon as possible."
After sending away Youzhou City, Luo Chaochao and several shopkeepers began to check the account books of these years.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai have already started checking accounts in another room.
Fortunately, the Lu family has taken root here in the last few years, and the books will not pile up into mountains, but there are definitely a lot.
However, this is not a problem for Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. He entered these documents into his mind, and then analyzed them with the system. An account book can be processed in only 2 minutes.
This is the butler robot of the future.
He separated the problematic books and put them aside, and even separated them according to the shop floor. At first glance, it seemed that there was no problem, but after carefully checking the quantity and unit price, he found that each had its own tricks.
The shopkeepers are not worried either. After all, it will take at least seven or eight days to check so many books. It seems that Luo Chaochao wants to end it in one day?
how is this possible.
Are they that easy to solve?
They didn't believe Luo Chao Chao could do it at all.
But in just one afternoon, the man named Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai came with a ledger like a hill.
"Everything has been checked." The short-haired man pushed the transparent disc on the bridge of his nose and said, "Thirteen of the sixteen shops have problems, and three of them have accounting loopholes of 3000 taels or more. Xu Liu..."
The words of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai were coherent, clearly stating the names of these people and the money they were greedy for.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hu talked about it, but the faces of the shopkeepers in the room became more and more ugly, and finally stayed pale, not knowing how to explain for a while.
They thought Luo Chao couldn't find out.
Of course everyone knows that Luo Chaochao is very powerful, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to pull such a big industry when he was not yet a weak crown.But each of these sixteen shops has been open for seven or eight years, and even though these books have been streamlined, they are still full of three bullock carts.
Even the oldest and most proficient old accountants have to count for ten days to complete the count, and they may not be able to find out the fake accounts they made, but Luo Chaochao actually did it.
Sitting behind the desk, Luo Chaochao raised his eyebrows listening to the "700 taels".
Kangzhou City is a bit out of the way, but foreign trade is well developed, and it surprised him that these stores have only been greedy for such a small amount of money in the past seven or eight years.
Everyone knows it, and it can be regarded as an industry insider.
Normally, Luo Chaochao would probably just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye to pass by, but it is different now, as he has just ascended to the position, this is the time to establish his prestige, if he handles it lightly, how can he convince them .
Luo Chaoxi took the list given by Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, "Come on, let's talk about it, let me tell you, you are the most greedy."
He was referring to the one who was greedy for more than 3000 taels.
Luo Chaochao's attitude was very casual, but it was this casual attitude that made these people break out in cold sweat.
Luo Chaochao had never touched their ledger before, but now Luo Chaochao...
"Sorry, boss!" Several people knelt down together, Luo Chaoxi glanced at them and didn't let them get up, "Where did all this money go?"
"This, it's used on the family members."
Several people hesitated.
In fact, the distribution of more than 6000 taels to 100 people is not much, and it is actually about [-] taels per year, not to mention that some of them are very small, and there are only a few larger ones.
But the loopholes of these years put together is an extremely huge number.
And this number is enough to send them to the government together, to be imprisoned for one crime of theft, and to be beheaded.
That's nearly 2 taels of silver!
"Really?" Luo Chaoxi asked again.
"Also, go to Red Street..." the one who was the most greedy couldn't help but said.
Luo Chaoxi looked up at the person who said he was going to the Red Street, and yawned: "You are sincere."
"This……"
Isn't that what you asked? !
He obviously said it frankly because he saw how terrifying Luo Chao Chao was, otherwise he wouldn't have said it in front of so many people.
Luo Chaoxi asked about the whereabouts of the money... Was he trying to send them to the government?
It shouldn't happen, they just signed the contract, these shops will be owned by Luo Chaochao in the future, if they are sent to the government, won't these shops be left alone?
But with Luo Chao Chao's means, it's not like he can't do this kind of thing.
"What are you going to do with the more than 6000 taels of silver?" Luo Chaoxi asked, "Don't expect me to not pursue it with so much silver."
That's right, it's nearly 2 taels of silver, even if it is simply put in the bank to increase the interest rate, it can increase by more than 100 taels of silver a year.
It is true that some of these people have relatively little greed, but this amount is relatively speaking. Dozens of taels of silver may not sound like much, but these tens of taels of silver are huge sums of money that ordinary people may not be able to earn in a lifetime of hard work.
"Here, we..."
Now that Luo Chaochao threw the question to them, they were not mentally prepared at all, so how could they give an answer that satisfies Luo Chaochao temporarily?
So they just knelt on the spot, mumbling, unable to come up with a solution for a long time.
They completely overturned their first impression of Luo Chao.
When they first came into contact with Luo Chaochao, they felt that Luo Chaochao was a young man who was capable but gentle, and they were very happy that their boss was a talkative person.
Once the boss is easy to talk, the people under them will have a more relaxed life and can take the opportunity to make some money.
The only inconvenience is probably that the boss is too close to them.
But it doesn't matter, as long as it's easy to talk about.
But who would have thought that Luo Chaochao directly shattered their cognition. This Luo Chaochao looked gentle, but he was not easy to bully, and he caught them off guard as soon as he came, and gave a few people a blow.
The few of them hurriedly thought of ways to make amends, and then they were horrified to find that the evidence was in Luo Chaoxi's hands, and it was useless for them to argue.
It wasn't until Luo Chaoxi got a little impatient that he opened his mouth and said, "I don't want to do things too badly. The money is not a small amount. I don't think you can afford it. So, sign a 20-year long contract with me." Bar."
Luo Chaoxi thought that the long-term contract was a 20-year long-term contract. After 20 years, these shopkeepers are still free, but looking at the expressions of these people, it seems that they don't know what this means. looking at each other.
"To put it simply, it's a contract of sale, but the time limit is 20 years. During these 20 years, you need to work for me." Luo Chaoxi said, "A few of you...can you earn so much money for me?"
When a few people heard that it was a contract of sale, they were shocked at first, and subconsciously wanted to reject it. After all, the contract of sale is equivalent to handing over their lives to other people. They will become slaves in this life, and their life and death are in the hands of others. , if Luo Chao Chao wanted them to die, they would not be able to resist.
But this 20 years...
With the deed of sale in place, the 20 years that Luo Chaochao said later is acceptable.
The oldest of these shopkeepers is only in their forties, and they will only be in their 20s after 60 years. Who knows what will happen to them when they are [-] years old?
"I'm not the kind of person who would send you to death, I just work for me." Luo Chaoxi stretched out his hand to the teacup on the table, and just as he stretched out his hand, he saw that Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai had already brought the teacup for him.
"If you agree, I won't report to the official." Luo Chaoxi took the tea and found that he still doesn't like drinking tea, preferring sweet drinks like cola or milk tea, but he still took a sip before putting it down. "With so much money, if you go to prison, you will be beheaded anyway."
These words really spoke to their hearts.
If it is possible, who would be willing to behead it?
Compared with beheading and losing his life, it is better to be a long-term laborer for Luo Chaochao for 20 years.
Almost without much hesitation, several people nodded: "But at your order."
Luo Chaochao then continued: "I will send an old employee of the store to your store as a deputy manager to manage the store together with you. The two supervise each other, and the store in charge needs to be replaced every three years." Luo Chaochao said, " As for the others, I will organize them into a book for you, and you will follow the rules and regulations.”
In fact, it is the employee code, but these few people don't know it, they just think that Luo Chaochao is beating them, so they can only respond.
Originally, I would feel very regretful when I thought that my future would be controlled by others, but it is very cost-effective to think that I can change my life with only 20 years of freedom.
Luo Chaoxi got the deeds of sale from the people present, folded them up and put them in the drawer of the desk casually, the indifferent look made the hearts of several people heavy, but when Luo Chaoxi signaled to them that they could leave, they still went out in a hurry up.
There were a few employees standing at the door, and when they saw a few people coming out, they immediately greeted them, "Follow me."
Luo Chaochao began to think about recruiting newcomers again.
In fact, [-] people were recruited again not long ago, and it is still in the training period. The old employees can do one-to-one work, and after a month or two they can take up their jobs independently, and then they can bring in the next batch.
In addition to working in the main store, these old employees will also take a few new employees to the newly gathered branches in Connecticut City to work with the original employees in those stores.
On the one hand, it is monitoring, and on the other hand, it is to let all store employees learn how to maintain a service model.
It doesn't make sense for the main store to do a good job, but let other stores ruin their reputation.
Luo Chaoxi was still thinking about the future direction of development, and the shopkeepers who had just left the store finally let out a sigh of relief.
This day was full of ups and downs, which was really frightening. Not only did the bosses behind them change, they also changed from being free to Luo Chaochao’s long-term workers. If you want to listen to Luo Chaochao in the future, the current store also needs to be remodeled to be similar to Luo Chaochao’s. The shape of the storefront.
Can it be regarded as... well?
Although different than expected.
"I still can't figure out how he managed it in such a short period of time." Several people left from the gate, and after walking for a long time, someone finally spoke.
"It doesn't matter how he found out, the important thing is that he can find out. Fortunately, Boss Luo didn't care about it and gave us a chance to make up for our mistakes, otherwise all of us would be caught and lose our heads!"
Now it is meaningless to talk about how Luo Chaoxi discovered it. Now they are all under Luo Chaoxi's subordinates. It can be said that they are completely tied to the same boat.
They only hope that Luo Chaoxi will not suddenly engage in some kind of flirty operation like the Lu family did, causing everyone to suffer.
Things are going well.
A few people tore off the seal after they went back, and sold some goods that didn't match the tonality of Jiushui Supermarket at a discount to make room for new things.
Old customers feel very strange.
Although the discount is very good, why did they suddenly sell it at a lower price?It's not the Chinese New Year holiday, you can't just feel that you can't drive and you have to run away, right?
"We have a new owner."
These guests got a news that surprised them.
"After a while, our store will be renamed Jiushui, and the store will sell products from Jiushui Supermarket." These shopkeepers explained.
The shops of these shopkeepers are not necessarily in the city, and some are in the county.
The county seat is some distance away from the city of Kangzhou. Coupled with the high consumption, few people in the county come here. Luo Chaochao also wants to take this opportunity to push the goods to the secondary market.
Ziyunxuan's main customers are ordinary people, and their business is doing well now.
After selling some of their inventory, the owners of the secondary stores quickly put new signs on their stores.
Obviously, they are all wooden signboards that are not bad, but when the new signboards are put up, everyone can't help but sigh.
Who would have imagined that the Lu family, which was so powerful not long ago, would be taken down by Luo Chaoxi, a young man who was not as young as a weak crown?
But it's useless to worry about these things now, at least now Luo Chaochao has seized the opportunity to control one-third of the economic lifeline of Kangzhou City.
After these shops changed their doors, they closed down and reopened soon. When they reopened, the decoration of the shops was changed to another style.
The color is light, very simple and generous.
If the customers who have been to Jiushui Supermarket in the city come here, they can recognize the style of Jiushui Supermarket at a glance, but it is probably because these stores are intended for ordinary people, and the decoration is not so exquisite. The kind of shop that you can go in, the fancy glass has been removed, leaving only the light-colored counter and some modern arrangements.
Luo Chaochao finally pushed his daily necessities and cosmetics business from the rich to the common people.
For this reason, Luo Chaochao even launched several affordable cosmetics and skin care products.
If he doesn't believe it, he can't sell it!
After all, there are far more ordinary people than rich people.
