In the small courtyard at the innermost entrance of the main hall in Ma Sheng Alley, Liu She followed a warrior who rarely appeared outside with a red sword badge on his waist, passed through the corridor, and finally stopped in a small hall.
"My subordinate Liu Cungen pays homage to Zuodao!" Liu She knelt down on one knee at the door of the small hall and paid homage.
In the hall, Tang Yan was writing something at his desk, while two maids beside him were waiting on the pen and ink. He didn't even look up and said, "Come in." Then Liu She entered the small hall cautiously and stood about ten feet in front of the table with his head lowered, not daring to disturb.
After a while, after Tang Yan finished what he was doing and handed a document to the maid next to him for follow-up sorting, he raised his head to greet Liu She.
Tang Yan glanced at Liu She a few times, smiled and joked: "What? You look like you are lucky?"
"Hey, you have such good eyesight, Zu Dao. Good luck really knocks on the door." Although Liu She looked playful and smiling, she was very measured. Everything depends on the mood and expression of Tang Yan opposite him. Tang Yan seemed to be in a good mood today, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken like this.
"Did the people under you help you get angry?" Tang Yan waved his hand and asked the maid to show Liu She his seat, and also served him a cup of hot tea.
Although Tang Yan does not need to do everything personally inside and outside the knife studio, his ears and eyes are indeed everywhere. The trivial things that happened below were nothing more. On the first day Qianfang opened, people from the Lin Knife Hall came to try and cause trouble. Naturally, Tang Yan knew about it right away. And this thing is extraordinary both inside and out, and deserves careful scrutiny.
"You know everything about Zuodao?"
"Haha, how could I not know about such a big thing? But speaking of it, Bai Lang is indeed a talent, and his fierceness is the result of our knife shop. And what is commendable is that he is very smart. It's just a pity. He is with Liu Xu, but he may not necessarily be completely committed to you, Liu She."
Liu She was also deeply impressed by what Tang Yan said about Bai Lang's strength. He also felt that Bailang deserved to be a part of the Knife Hall, and his potential was definitely more than what he had in front of him. What deserves more attention is Bailang's mind.
"This time, the people of Lin Dao Pavilion lost face and lost manpower. I was so happy that my subordinates went back and drank two bottles of wine in a row. Moreover, our new money shop's reputation was completely exposed. The number of gamblers has been increasing steadily in the past two days. , many of them were people who used to play in Xicheng, but now they also come to our side.
But Zuo Dao, I'm not just talking about great luck, there is also a strategy for the money account of Qianfang. The subordinates were originally prepared to wait until initial results were achieved before reporting the matter, but this time the situation happened to be reported first. Please take a look at it. "
Liu She was also striking while the iron was hot. Bailang's suggestions regarding water money accounts must be reported sooner or later. He had planned to postpone it in order to see the actual effect and for insurance. Now that Bailang has performed well in Qianfang from the beginning, Liu She naturally knew that this could not be hidden from Tang Yan, so he simply reported it first and used Bailang's contribution to explore Tang Yan's opinions on the water money account. .
While talking to Liu She, he handed over a strategy he had written down in his hand. Then he returned to his stool and sat down obediently.
"Water money account? Strategy? Did you make it?" Tang Yan was a little surprised and a little curious. Liu She is very good at managing Qianfang. It wouldn’t be surprising if there are any new ideas.
However, Liu She waved his hand and said: "This is Bailang's idea. He communicated with me before, and I thought it was feasible. I asked him to find a suitable accountant to try the effect first. Although there is no conclusion yet, but It seems to be going well.”
"Oh? Bai Lang's idea?" Tang Yan was a little surprised, and at the same time he opened the strategy handed over by Liu She and started to read it.
There is not much content, and Liu She writes it very simply and clearly, and lists some information about the current business situation of the Kuang family as an "experiment" and the business situation after the accounts were converted into "suspended animation".
To be honest, although Tang Yan only read it once, he already had a good idea of what this strategy wanted to do and what the subsequent effects would be. Even though it was just my first try, judging from the situation of the "Kuang Family" I chose, it must be feasible.
"With a sum of money, we directly acquired one of the most famous rouge, gouache and ready-to-wear shops in Yongchuan City. This transaction can be said to be a huge profit. It also looks soft, which is helpful for what the knife shop does. Doesn't look so decisive.
Bailang's brain is indeed very useful. How long has it been since you arrived at Qianfang? He has done more things than many senior people. "
Liu She could hear that there was something in Tang Yan's words, but he also knew that Tang Yan was not talking about him. So just pretend you don’t understand,
"Zudao, do you think this method can work?"
"Hmph, you're asking questions knowingly. I don't believe you can't tell whether this strategy is feasible or not. Are you really trying to pry Liu Xu out of Liu Xu's hands by helping Bai Lang like this?" Tang Yan put down the gun in his hand. Fang Lue did not directly answer "Will it work?", but asked Liu She whether he was poaching people. Like a joke.
Liu She was stunned, but he controlled the expression on his face very well, and replied with a smile: "Zu Dao, why don't you help Liu Xu? Ask him to return Bai Lang to my side? I can change him, he can Take your pick!”
"Hahaha! You are good at picking up bargains, why would Liu Xu trade with you? It's good if he doesn't spit on your face. Okay, you can take care of this matter. Is there anything else?"
"No more. I will leave now."
"Yes. The Qianfang side should be careful. They may not take action for the time being, but secretly it's hard to tell. In addition, I will arrange for people to go to the Yamen side to find out whether it is Liao Yong who is causing trouble this time. Russell Chen is still playing tricks. Don't act rashly yourself."
Liu She nodded in agreement. I understand that the troubles in Qianfang this time are ultimately due to the Yamen supporting and covering up the opposing sword shop. Zhang Liang, a mere class leader, didn't have the courage, so he must have been instigated by someone else. It is unclear who the instigator was. It would be easier to handle it if Liao Yong was the deputy referee. If it were the yamen's yamen chief, Russell Chen, then the trouble might not be so easy to solve.
Of course, Liu She didn't need to worry about this for the time being. He bowed and left the Ma Sheng Alley. But after coming out, Liu She's face was full of doubts. Because he was keenly aware that Tang Yan did not give clear instructions at the end about the issue of water money accounts. He only said, "It's up to you," and the previous sentence, "You asked knowingly."
This is very interesting.
Based on Liu She's understanding of Tang Yan over the years, Tang Yan has always been very active in increasing the sword hall's financial resources. Moreover, the sentence "You are asking knowingly" combined with the context also shows that Tang Yan agrees with Bailang's strategy and believes that the strategy is feasible. Then why don't you say you support it? But you want Liu She to "just figure it out"?
This is obviously what Tang Yan is worried about.
