"Okay, let's leave the accounts and you can go. By the way, go back and tell Zhang Wu, don't worry, I won't touch you two again after the things here are settled. Go back to Qianfang first and don't think too much. "
"Good sword."
Only then did Wang Bing feel completely at peace. He and Zhang Wu were actually a little anxious these days. Worried that Bailang would leave them alone in Qianfang. Now that I have a promise, I won't panic anymore.
The carriage stopped, and when they arrived at Hemp Rope Alley, Wang Bing bowed and watched Bai Lang go in, then turned to Qianfang with a smile. I feel very happy and my feet feel light.
In the morning, Bailang went through the accounts that Wang Bing brought to him. When he saw the final balance, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Go and call Liu Xu, the leader of the affairs hall."
"yes!"
Liu Xu came over quickly, and after saluting, he took from Bai Lang the copy of the Kuang family's first income and expenditure report reported by Wang Bing in the morning.
The accounts are not complicated, they are almost running accounts, so they are very clear. An old man like Liu Xu in the office could easily see that there was nothing fishy to do, and the final result was a surprise on his face when he raised his head.
"Zu Dao, is this the income from the water money account you mentioned before after the name is transferred? This is not much less than the water money with compound interest!"
"Eighty percent. The final balance is the balance of the Kuang family after deducting the costs and the remainder I promised them during this period. It accounts for about 80% of their total business profits. And this is just the beginning, and there will be an increase later. "
Bai Lang has helped the Kuang family to drive away its main competitor, and has also obtained the other party's channels and some secret recipes. With Kuang Yingxiong's ability, he will definitely be able to take the business to a higher level.
"Zu Dao, this is a huge income! Even this is no less than the "cleaning fees" we collect on the street."
Bai Lang didn't answer. The "cleaning fee" on the street, Bai Lang, as a wanderer on the street, naturally knows very well. In fact, this thing is not a big input. If I insist on saying it, it should be to help the city lord's government collect additional "miscellaneous taxes". The bad thing is the knife. In fact, most of the reputation of the hotel was taken away by the city lord's palace.
"Master Liu, I plan to hand over 40% of this money to the city lord's palace, and the remaining part will be given to waist knives and street wanderers, and can be increased or decreased at any time depending on the situation."
"Zu Dao, do you mean that you are going to increase the monthly salary of the people below?" Liu Xu understood Bai Lang's meaning at once. This is a simple and crude way to win people's hearts!
"That's right. Red knives are what make the most money in knife shops, and waist knives are just a bit oily. It depends on who you follow. If you're not lucky, you won't be able to eat a few meals. Street wanderers are even poorer. Walking on the street With the coins in my pocket, I had to think carefully before even taking a drink.
They are all trying to earn a living with their heads in their belts. There is no reason to earn less than a pancake seller on the roadside, right? In the past, there was a certain amount of money, and a lot was saved in the knife shop. There is little point in continuing to exist. Nowadays, there are new ways of making money that should be shared with everyone.
That's what it means. How to send it and how much it needs to be sent need to be checked by Mr. Liu. "
"Not counting the red knife?"
"It doesn't count. The Red Swordsmen probably won't care about this little money. What do you think, Mr. Liu?"
"Haha, Zuodao, I can't say that. Some people want to get a share of even a penny. Even if they don't dare to say something like a monthly salary increase, they will definitely not feel comfortable in their hearts."
"Uncomfortable? Haha, I'm holding back the discomfort. Didn't Yang Xiu go deal with a few people before? After being beaten, he must have hated Yang Xiu to death and also hated me to death, right? This little bit of "uncomfortable" doesn't matter. ." Bai Lang smiled and did not avoid anything in front of Liu Xu. Even in his words, he seemed to be eager for one of the red knives below to jump out.
As long as someone jumps out of the white wave, there will be an excuse to deal with people.
"Since Zuodao has already made a fuss in his heart, I won't say any more. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Zuodao will be informed of the increase in monthly money."
"Just do it as soon as possible. There's no need to stay up all night."
"No, since I have nothing else to do anyway, I naturally need to take care of the things arranged by Zuodao first."
Bailang heard this and knew that Liu Xu was trying to show his goodwill, which was also equivalent to flattery. So he smiled, said nothing more, and waved Liu Xu away.
In the afternoon of the next day, Liu Xu followed his instructions and put the prepared strategy in front of Bai Lang.
Bailang looked at it carefully, raised his head, and said in surprise: "Master Liu, this is a wonderful idea! Do it with additional monthly money and end-of-month rewards. This not only allows all street wanderers and waist knives to get the most basic benefits. There is also a reward that can be obtained through hard work and competition, so as to stimulate the enthusiasm of the people below to do things.
Mr. Liu, ginger is still spicy when he is old! Hahaha! "
Bai Lang suddenly felt enlightened. The strategy Liu Xu brought to him was no stranger to him. Most of the salary systems in the other world were based on this method of monthly salary plus end-of-month bonus.
What about health insurance? Oh, the medical clinic here with a knife shop does not require medical insurance. housing fund? pension? Can these be moved and placed on the body of the knife shop?
Bailang's eyes lit up as he thought about it, and he also laughed. But these thoughts were just thoughts, and he didn't speak them out. Because even if he is a swordsman now, he needs money to do these things, and the Kuang family's business alone will definitely not be able to support it. Bailang doesn't dare to touch the other income of the knife shop for the time being.
"As long as Zuodao is satisfied. In fact, this strategy was not thought up by my subordinates. The servants at home are rewarded at the end of the month, so they rush to do things. I thought maybe Zuodao not only hopes that the people below will remember Zuodao. It’s good, but you need to be more energetic, and you can’t wait to die. So I tried to figure out this strategy.”
"Master Liu is being humble. Let's use Master Liu's strategy for this matter. There is no need to change a word. Just follow the rules of the knife studio and start implementing them."
"yes!"
Liu Xu adhered to his usual vigorous and resolute behavior, and soon the news of a monthly increase for street wanderers and waist knives reached the hands of various red knives.
Some of the Red Sabers frowned, some were indifferent, and some were unhappy or even resentful. Because they don’t need to pay for the monthly increase this time, but it has nothing to do with them.
But it doesn't matter that the red knives sit high, but the waist knives and street wanderers below are in trouble.
According to Liu Xu's arrangement, whether it is a waist knife or a street wanderer, the monthly salary will be increased by 10%. In addition, there will be rewards at the end of the month. Anyone who has made meritorious deeds or is outstanding in doing business that month can win a prize. The awards are uniformly judged by the Affairs Hall, with ten judges judged by waist knives and twenty judges judged by street wanderers.
Several Red Swordsmen gathered together, including Zhang Xun and Qu Feng, who held real power, but they were not the same Red Swordsmen as before.
"Zu Dao wants to capture all the waist knives and street wanderers. Except for Yang Xiu, we are all left out."
"Yang Xiu? Humph, it's just a shield. Do you really think he can command the swordsmen and street wanderers below? If the swordsman doesn't say anything, isn't he just like the rest of us?"
"Why do you think Zu Dao is recruiting so many people? Is this necessary? Moreover, the increase in monthly salary this time is to directly influence the hearts of the people below!
Zhang Hongdao, Qu Hongdao, you are close to Zuodao, so you should know some news, right? Tell us about it? "
Zhang Xun and Qu Feng both glanced at the words, and Qu Feng spoke first: "What other news can there be? Let's deal with the Lin Knife Hall opposite!"
Zhang Xun on the side also said: "Wait and see, Zuodao is very thoughtful, and there must be a reason for gathering strength like this. Maybe there will be a big move soon."
