Anxile Restaurant is the busiest restaurant around Ma Sheng Alley on weekdays. It has a cute name, and the owner is an old red knife who washed his hands in a knife shop. He naturally gets close to the people in the knife shop. As long as he has a drink nearby, he will basically do it. Choose here, the taste is good and the price is affordable.
Today, a yellow flag was erected outside Anxile Restaurant with the word "Closed" written on it. A few familiar swordsmen came over to ask out of curiosity, but when they saw the dozen swordsman guards sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant drinking tea, they immediately turned around and left.
"I thought I saw Qu Hongdao's bodyguard Sister Zhang just now?"
"Not only that! There are also the guards of Master Zhang and Master Liu, and even the guards of Master Bai are sitting inside."
"So the Red Swordsmen are having a drink in Anxile today?"
"Probably, let's go and eat somewhere else."
In the largest wing on the second floor of the restaurant, in front of the big round table, it was indeed as the few waist swordsmen guessed just now. There were seven red swordsmen in the sword shop today, and it was indeed a gathering for drinks. And the initiator of this drinking party was none other than the newly promoted Hongdao Bailang who was currently in the spotlight in the sword shop.
"Everyone, without further ado Bai Lang, the envelope in front of you is the money received since the opening of the pier during this period. After deducting the remaining costs, the rest will be divided according to your respective shares. Of course, what is in the envelope This is the specific amount you will allocate, and the cash will be delivered to your house later.
So you can take a look first. So that you won’t be happy drinking this wine for a while. "
Bai Lang said this with a smile, but the red knives present also laughed when they heard this, and some even started to boo. But no one was slow. While joking, they picked up the envelope in front of them and opened it to read. Their expressions were almost the same: first stunned, then surprised, and finally putting down the envelope with a more sincere smile than before.
Everyone knows that Bailangsuan's fortune game can make money. After all, it is a unique business with huge potential. But no one thought it would be so profitable. How long has it been? It will only take less than two months to fully calculate. The share of the money already exceeds the monthly salary of these red knives in the knife shop for half a year.
"Actually, it's not much money. I just want to give you a sure idea so that you know that I, Bailang, am not occupying my position and not doing anything. Now the income from the terminal is part of it, and the other part is the income from the carriages and horses in the newly started industrial park. These two With the continued construction of the industrial park, there will be a very good growth rate.
Moreover, the restaurants and bars at the back are also a big source of income. I estimate that by the end of the year, the income will double. "
Bai Lang's words made everyone present smile. On the one hand, I was looking for a place for my family's money and wanted to build a legacy that could be passed down to my family. On the other hand, it was also because of the participation of Zuodao and the veteran Liu Xu. Now it seems that the original decision was so wise. Although this business is not a huge profit, it is still very profitable and stable, and there is no problem in using it as a family heirloom.
The happiest person in my heart is Liu Xu. Because in Liu Xu's eyes, it is no longer important whether it is money or not. The most important thing in his eyes now is to eliminate all or most of the resistance caused by Bailang's lack of qualifications in the knife studio. Lose. Substituting interests for support, Bailang could withstand the pressure of the old-school red sword until Tang Yan died, and then he could compete with Chen Zhiyun for the top sword position.
Compared with finding a family fortune in his own hands, Liu Xu clearly understood that his biggest and most ambitious thing was to help his own people to take the position of swordsman. This means that the Liu family in Yongchuan City can continue to maintain its prosperity for decades.
Nowadays, the considerable income brought by this fortune has made many of Liu Xu's previous worries fade away a lot. At least the people here shouldn't have any complaints about Bailang ascending the throne.
Next, Liu Xu was even more surprised by what Bai Lang said. He thought to himself that Bailang's mind was indeed spinning too fast.
I heard Bai Lang continue to say from behind: "But there are still two small problems that need to be discussed with you. I also hope that you can come up with an idea together.
The first thing is that the city recently posted a recruitment notice. Many of the masons and carpenters were expropriated. Many of the construction sites of our inns, pubs, and restaurants were forced to stop because of this. You have to wait until the work at the City Lord's Mansion is finished or you have time to help us during the break. Of course, this would mean that the completion would take much longer than previously estimated.
I thought of a way, that is, to pay more for people to work shifts to help us. The batches are rotated, today's batch, tomorrow's next batch, they can take a break, and our construction site can also continue directly.
But we have to add money, which is 30% more than the original amount. Or it can be deducted directly from subsequent profits.
The second thing is that when I was preparing for this round before, some of the red knife seniors in the knife studio were hesitant and did not join immediately. Now they have figured it out and want to re-enter. Of course, they also know the principle of first come, first served, so they only ask for half of the original members and can give them cash. "
The two things, to put it bluntly, are all about money. For a moment, Hong Daozi who was present was in no hurry to say anything. The latter thing in particular is worth pondering.
"Bailang, you saved the game. We are all following you to make some money. You support me and tell me what you think." Qu Feng spoke first, but instead of expressing his own opinion, he kicked the ball back. into Bailang's hands.
Bai Lang didn't push back, and said bluntly: "To put it bluntly, money or not is a trivial matter, and it's not worth the loss if it makes you feel uncomfortable. My opinion is that since we are all family members, we can't see each other when we look up, so we just need to pay money on a first-come, first-served basis." If you want to be a member, then let us in. The huge potential of the industrial park is enough for everyone to share the profits.
And the money needed for the construction site this time was just made up from here. There is no need to worry too much about this. "
When Bai Lang said this, the others had different thoughts but did not speak. But Liu Xu was already shouting in his heart, "Well done!"
This "I don't need to care too much about my family" immediately blocked the conversation. Even if the people present are reluctant, it is difficult to say more directly. And it is true that as Bailang said, the potential of the industrial park is large enough, and if it is divided out, it will be enough for everyone. For this reason, the dissonance in the knife shop is really unsightly.
And in the end, to the outside world, who will those who are eager to join now thank you? Who will receive the favor? It will only be white waves holding up its head.
Exchange everyone's interests for your own personal reputation and receive favors yourself. What a bargain!
Sure enough, just as Liu Xu thought, the few red knives he was making finally nodded and acknowledged Bai Lang's statement. "Don't worry too much." But he warned that those who came in later could only be half of the people who came in first.
After Bailang's repeated assurances, the business was over, and then they had a hearty meal. Except for Liu Xu, an older man, the others were all huge. But in the end, only Bai Lang was able to walk out of the restaurant steadily. Even Qu Feng, who claimed to be "the best in wine in the knife shop", couldn't beat him.
"You did a great job this time. If you really mean it, then 90% of the red swordsmen in the sword shop will remember you. It will be of great benefit to you in the future competition for the swordsmanship." Liu Xu brought a cup of hot tea. Put it in front of Bailang who returned to the restaurant's wing after seeing off the guests.
Then Liu Xu added: "I was called to see Zuodao this morning. In addition to asking about the recent situation in the swordsmanship studio, Zuodao is most concerned about the method he taught you. You must practice it quickly! "
Dharma door? Bailang smiled and nodded when he heard this, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I know what's going on."
