Blood from Daming

Chapter 21 Clean Up
Xue Yun sat on the seat in the middle of the inner hall, and the chairs on both sides of the inner hall were full of people, the person on the left was the person sent by the Xue family to check the accounts, and the ones on the right were the stewards of the silk shop.

A middle-aged man on the left handed the inventory list to Xue Yun. Xue Yun only knew that he was An, the accountant of the Xue family, and his grandfather had mentioned him specifically.Xue Yun held it in his hand and looked at it for a while and asked, "Who is the shopkeeper?"

An old man in Confucian shirts in his fifties leaned forward and said, "Young Master, I am."

Xue Yun said: "Old shopkeeper, please tell us about the situation in the store first."

The old man in Confucian shirts said: "Shaodong's store has 35 pieces of silk and satin in stock, [-] pieces of cloth, a batch of ingredients for fabrics, [-] boxes of rouge and gouache, and a batch of women's products. The total net price is about a fraction of [-]. "

Xue Yun said: "I want to listen to something with connotation, no salt or taste."

The surname An Zhangfang sitting on the left made a speech: "The vast majority of the five hundred pieces of silk and satin are defective products, mainly due to flaws in texture and poor color, and the problem of insufficient yarn in some cloth belongs to defective products. Rouge and gouache are also defective. It is not a best-selling item, the store is highly loss-making, and there is basically no need to continue to operate, it is recommended that the young owner stop operating.”

The people sitting on the right suddenly became confused, and there was a commotion in the inner hall.The old man in Confucian shirt surnamed Chen coughed twice to silence the hall, and said to Xue Yun, "Can the Young Master take a moment to speak?"

Xue Yun thought for a while and said, "Then let's change places."

The two came to the hut in the inner room, shopkeeper Chen said: "Young master's shop is so old and shameless, if the young master stops operating the silk and satin shop, it will be really sad."

Xue Yun didn't speak, and remained silent the whole time.

Shopkeeper Chen waited for a while and said: "Shaodong's family, most of the people in our shop have been oppressed by Zhang Shanfu, and they dare not speak out. The old man saw that Zhang Shanfu has tried his best to harm the public and private interests in the past few years, not only hurting the Xue family but also ruining everyone's jobs. The old man and his colleagues have approached Steward Mao many times, and they have also responded to your father face to face, hey."

Xue Yun: "There is such a thing."

Shopkeeper Chen said: "Your master will know about this when you go back to the mansion. The old man and his colleagues want to meet the old man, but they are also treated outside the gate. For this matter, Zhang Shanfu has made trouble for the old man. If it weren't for the old man who was Xue's relative He turned away."

Xue Yun: "Shopkeeper Chen, do you have anything to say about the store?"

Shopkeeper Chen said: "The young master asked me to explain to you in detail that Zhang Shanfu took away good goods at low prices, so the store naturally couldn't make any money. If there is no profit in the store, there is no capital to buy high-quality goods, so naturally it will be even worse. I can’t make any money. In addition, Zhang Shanfu siphoned away the funds from the store, even gods can’t save it, but, "

Xue Yun slowly opened his eyes: "Shopkeeper Chen, tell me, I'll listen."

Shopkeeper Chen went on to say: "Shaodong's, in fact, as long as there are goods in Zhengyangmen, there is no reason why merchants who come here and there can't make money. Our "Xueji Silk Cloth" is a time-honored brand with a good reputation and many regular customers. "

Xue Yun: "Of course I will have a source of goods. I just see people coming and going on the street. Most of them are self-purchasing. Besides, my Ming Dynasty prohibits trade in all directions. This business is as easy as you said."

Shopkeeper Chen: "Shaodong's business is just about business. It is true that good goods can make money. This time, some people want the goods. If you are doing business for individual customers in the capital, the competition will be very fierce. If you are doing business for bulk goods , that is to earn a little bit for each item, that would be scary."

Xue Yun: "Shopkeeper Chen, you have a family."

Shopkeeper Chen said: "Yes, there are Shanxi merchants sitting on the ground to receive goods in this capital, and there are also many old customers from Shanxi."

Xue Yun: "Shopkeeper Chen, I think most of the goods come from Jiangnan. If merchants go to Jiangnan to buy, why should they be exploited by merchants in the capital? There is a reason for this."

Shopkeeper Chen said: "Young masters are really smart, as the saying goes, the source of goods purchased from the south of the Yangtze River is exploited by layers of management, and there are bandits coming in and out. If you don't have great skills, it's better to buy goods in the capital, which is safer and more affordable."

Xue Yun: "Shopkeeper Chen, what you're talking about is nothing more than bulk wholesale, smuggling and selling of goods. Speaking of which, we are also participating in illegal activities in disguise."

Shopkeeper Chen said: "If the young master has the funds to sit on the ground and eat goods, he will make a lot of money in a year if he eats the difference between the two parties."

Xue Yun: "Shopkeeper Chen, if I hand over the "Xue Ji Silk Cloth" to you, can I trust you? "

Shopkeeper Chen said: "I have been working for the Xue family for almost 20 years, and I have to be worthy of the owner, and I don't want to ruin my reputation in the mall."

Xue Yun: "Okay, I trust you, but I will send someone to be the second shopkeeper. He will not interfere with your affairs, but is responsible for me. Can you accept it?"

Shopkeeper Chen said: "Yes, in this case, the Young Master can rest assured, and the old man can also feel at ease when doing things."

Xue Yun: "This is the best way. If you do well, your bonus will be doubled by the end of the year. In addition, I will fire my second mother and the people who have nothing to do with me. If you don't do a good job, the Xue family will lose." Xue Yun took the table. I rubbed a copper town lion in my hand a few times, handed it to shopkeeper Chen and said, "Leave it for your children to play with as beads." Said and walked out.

Shopkeeper Chen looked at the slightly hot copper ball in his hand, was terrified and broke out in cold sweat for a long time before he calmed down, and secretly thought that he was indeed a descendant of the Xue family. In doing things, the Xue family's young master has the ability, isn't it because his backing is more secure, but thinking of this, he smiled knowingly.

Xue Yun returned to the inner hall and said to An's tent: "You first arrange a reliable person to be the second shopkeeper to cooperate with shopkeeper Chen's work, and report everything to me. You and shopkeeper Chen will decide who will resign, and those who will stay You can be close to anything, but you must be loyal, this is the first condition for working in the Xue family, and this is the most important." Xue Yun had no one in his hands and had to use people from the mansion.

Shopkeeper Chen also came out, and Xue Yun said: "Shopkeeper Chen is in charge of the store, and everything shopkeeper Chen has the final say on. In order to strengthen management and management, An Zhangfang will assist shopkeeper Chen in his work recently. Well, that's it."

Everyone retreated, An Zhangfang introduced a young man to Xue Yun, the young man was Yang Dong, Xue Yun: "An Zhangfang recommended you to me, I hope you will not disappoint me." Yang Dong hurriedly said dare not.

Xue Yun: "Shopkeeper Chen, Yang Dong will be your assistant. Yang Dong will learn more from Shopkeeper Chen, and you will be staying here for a while in the tent."

An tent, shopkeeper Chen, and Yang Dong all nodded in agreement.Xue Yun: "An Zhangfang will accompany me to the next house to have a look. You understand what I said, shopkeeper Chen. I will leave this kid here for you to run errands." Staying in "Xueji Silk Cloth", these children have nothing to do at home, so it might be useful to send them out.

An Zhangfang accompanied Xue Yun to introduce the situation of the pawn shop. The situation of the pawn shop was similar to that of "Xue Ji Silk Cloth", not bad but very bad.Xue Yun couldn't even get angry when he heard this. There is no one in this Xue family. There are a bunch of rice worms since they were young. They have spent your money here for several years, and you don't have anyone to supervise. People don't think you are a pig.

Two streets away is Xue's "Sanjiang Huitong". great place.

Accompanied by An Zhangfang, Xue Yun entered "Sanjiang Huitong". The steward of "Sanjiang Huitong" is an old man of the Xue family. years.

Du Fugui told Xue Yun about the situation of "Sanjiang Huitong". Xue Yun looked at the words "Sanjiang Huitong" and thought for a while. Did Sanjiang Huitong mean that something flashed in Huitong Sanjiang's mind.

Xue Yun said to Du Fugui: "You are an old man in my family. Normally, I don't want to say anything about you. You have nothing to say when you are in charge, but there are some rules that cannot be broken. From now on, you will concentrate on managing things in the pawnshop and looking for people for chores. Let me see what you think."

Du Fugui said in shame: "I didn't stick to the rules and obey Zhang Shanfu's words. I'm sorry for the Xue family and the old master."

Xue Yun: "You are optimistic about "Sanjiang Huitong", and the business is maintained. I will transfer some money to you in the near future. After all, "Sanjiang Huitong" was the shop that my Xue family contributed the most. "
