Chapter 242 Accounting Problems
The hot summer was finally over, and the sweet-scented osmanthus in the yard was fragrant again. Pei Xiangxiang lay on the couch in front of the window, leaning comfortably on the big pillow, listening to Pei Sijing report the latest business situation to her.

"Xiangxiang, I looked at the accounts sent from various places, and found that there are some problems with the account books of the last two months. Shall we check the accounts?"

The accounts that Pei Sijing mentioned are not the account books of Peiji Wholesale, but the distribution offices that Pei Xiangxiang has set up in the surrounding counties in the past year. Pei Xiangxiang has rented a lot of land in more than ten places, and then planted peppers, tomatoes and strawberries, so that all orders are collected and shipped from the distribution office closest to the customer.

To put it bluntly, Pei Xiangxiang grows fruits and vegetables in many rented villages, stores them locally, and delivers them nearby. Moreover, in each place, Pei Xiangxiang arranges manpower to sort out the books and send them to Peiji in Qingyang Town for wholesale at a fixed time every month. Pei Xiangxiang took a look.

There are naturally many benefits of planting in multiple places. It can be convenient for delivery, and it can also drive the local people to grow peppers, tomatoes and strawberries. Of course, there must be disadvantages. Pei Xiangxiang can't guarantee the people stationed in various places. They are [-]% her confidants, and it is inevitable that some people will play tricks and seek personal gain for themselves.

Hearing what Pei Sijing said, Pei Xiangxiang sat up from the couch unhurriedly, then raised his hand to Pei Sijing, motioning Pei Sijing to show her the account book.

Looking through the ledger, it was true that as Pei Sijing said, there were several data that did not match up at all. It was obvious that someone made fake accounts to deal with Pei Xiangxiang, probably thinking that Pei Xiangxiang was young and easy to fool.

Pei Xiangxiang snorted coldly, but there was no expression of anger on his face. He closed the account book and said to Pei Sijing, "Third sister, when my father comes back, let's go through all the account books. If there is any problem, we must go to them. It just so happens that all the villages have finished planting the second season, and they are free to work on it, and I will call a meeting with the stewards of a certain place, and I want to see who doesn't want this job."

Hearing what Pei Xiangxiang said, Pei Sijing also knew that Pei Xiangxiang was going to rectify vigorously, so she nodded and said, "Well, that's how it should be, otherwise they really think we don't care."

After Pei Xiangxiang noticed that there was a problem with the ledger, he sent a message to the managers of the various distribution offices the next day, asking them to meet up in Qingyang Town in three days. Pei Xiangxiang planned to meet them in person.

Soon it was the day when Pei Ji's stewards met with the owner. On this day, before the Pei Ji wholesale shop opened, several horse-drawn carts and ox carts had already parked outside. A dozen or so stewards had already arrived. After receiving the news, Pei Xiangxiang, After eating breakfast, he took Pei Yongping and Pei Sijing directly to Pei Ji Wholesale.

Because it was to meet with the stewards, Pei Ji Wholesale did not open for business that day. After the stewards were welcomed into the yard behind the shop, a sign was posted on the front of the shop that said it was closed for one day.

More than a dozen stewards came, all with similar ages. They sat down one by one on both sides, and Pei Yongping sat in front of him, and there was a screen on the left side of Pei Yongping. People outside looked over, and the people sitting behind the screen could be seen faintly.

The screen was prepared for Pei Xiangxiang and Pei Sijing, both of them are girls, and it is not suitable to meet outside men, especially in business, so Pei Xiangxiang pushed Pei Yongping to meet these people, and if he had to ask in advance, he also asked them in advance. Pei Yongping said yes.

"I called everyone here today to find out how much fruit and vegetables were planted in the first batch of your distribution offices, the order volume, sales volume, and the number of short-term and long-term workers. .”

As soon as Pei Yongping said this, all the managers looked at each other in blank dismay, and some of them obviously changed their expressions. They roughly guessed Pei Yongping's intentions, but they were not sure. There should be no problems in it, so one of them stood up and said, "Boss, our account book is sent here every month, and it is clearly written on it. I don't know where the boss is. Do you understand?"

As soon as the man said this, Pei Xiangxiang couldn't help but sneered, but because there were so many people in the hall and they were whispering again, they didn't hear what was happening on Pei Xiangxiang's side, but Pei Yongping was so close, so they naturally heard it , also aware of Pei Xiangxiang's displeasure, he frowned and said, "I'm a rough person, I can't read the black and white words on the ledger, just tell me."

As soon as Pei Yongping said this, those stewards who were worried at first breathed a sigh of relief, and their brows relaxed, thinking that they were really worrying too much and scaring themselves.

When everyone heard that Pei Yongping just wanted to hear about the situation, the steward sitting on Pei Yongping's lower right was the first to stand up and report to Pei Yongping.

Pei Xiangxiang sat behind the screen, drinking tea, and listening to the reports from outsiders. After these people finished speaking, Pei Yongping glanced at Pei Xiangxiang, Pei Xiangxiang waved to Pei Yongping, and Pei Yongping even stood up from the chair Come on, walk behind the screen, bend down slightly, and listen to Pei Xiangxiang talking in his ear about the problem she just discovered.

The stewards suddenly saw Pei Yongping get up and walk behind the screen, all of them looked at the screen, and some were curious about who was sitting behind the screen, but there were also a few who had heard some news about the Pei family before. , and roughly guessed the identity of the person behind the screen, someone couldn't help but said, "But Miss Pei is here? If you have any questions, just ask Miss Pei."

Pei Xiangxiang was a little surprised when he heard someone talking about himself, because in the past year, Pei Yongping was basically responsible for handling the matters that needed to come forward, and even these managers were found by Pei Yongping one by one. seen them.

However, since someone asked, Pei Xiangxiang didn't intend to continue pretending that she didn't exist, so she said, "My Pei family's business is thanks to all the uncles here for your troubles. It's just that a few uncles in charge said that I don't care about it." A question, for example, the three Zhuangzi in Ke County have a good location and a large area. It is normal to need a large number of long-term workers, but why is the workload of more than [-] people not as good as that of ten people? Why? The area is the largest , but Harvest couldn't even get into the top three..."

Pei Xiangxiang asked several questions in one breath, and when she spoke, the faces of the three Zhuangzi stewards in Ke County turned red and then pale. Pei Xiangxiang found something tricky here.

However, after Pei Xiangxiang asked these questions, she didn't wait for those people to answer, but she spoke first.

"In the future, the business of the Pei family will still depend on the uncles and uncles. Today, my father called everyone here. First, he wants to understand the situation. Second, he wants everyone to get acquainted with each other. The five stewards who will do the best job in the future, You can get dividends every year, and as for the worst ones, it is very likely that you will not be able to keep your job."

As soon as Pei Xiangxiang said this, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Some people heard that they could get dividends, and their eyes flashed with joy, while some heard the punishment, but their faces were embarrassing. Everyone had different expressions, and Pei Yongping also looked at Pei Xiangxiang in surprise. Pei Xiangxiang didn't mention this reward and punishment to him, but seeing everyone's reactions, Pei Yongping was relieved quickly, thinking that his daughter is really unusually smart, his face showed a bit of complacency.

Pei Xiangxiang's purpose was not to punish certain people, but to take the opportunity to tell these people that the Pei family's business is not something they can fool around at will. Of course, these stewards came here this time, and they also understood one thing, That's the owner of Pei Ji Wholesale, not necessarily the usual Pei Yongping, and this girl Pei who didn't show up may have more decision-making power in her hands. Suddenly, many people are curious about Pei Xiangxiang.
