Holding gatherings of this nature on a regular basis is not just for simple chatting and eating. All businessmen, large and small, are present. If they chat well and agree with each other, it is very likely that the cooperation will be finalized on the spot.
Certain decisions among several top wealthy businessmen will even affect the economic direction of the entire Toyosu in the future.
This is the main purpose of holding such banquets.
Therefore, there are paper and pens everywhere in the manor, and from time to time, people can be seen writing calculations, discussing distribution, dividing benefits and so on.
I don’t know if everyone is like Lin Wanru, who has the habit of carrying a small notebook with him. It not only has the function of a memo, but also can record ideas and inspirations at any time. Lin Yong once said that many jewelry styles in Fanglin Garden are all Not only that, she designed it by herself, and when necessary, she can also take out a small notebook and pretend to ask questions to cover up her embarrassment.
However, the piece of paper that fell out just now is not a certain jewelry style, nor is it a certain memo, but the classic model of the debit and credit bookkeeping method he listed.
"What's wrong?" Lin Wanru looked at him in surprise and asked in doubt.
"Just sit still." Li Yi threw a small piece of watermelon into his mouth, and glanced in the direction of the fat man.
Lin Wanru whispered: "That's the head of the Qian family, known as the God of Wealth."
As soon as her words fell, the middle-aged fat man put the piece of paper in his sleeve and looked around. After a long time, he turned and walked towards a place with brighter lights in the house.
…
According to the usual practice, each meeting lasts for more than an hour. Most of the time, people communicate in small groups. At the end, there will be some wealthy businessmen with status and status to say a few words words, etc.
Some people took advantage of the excitement and left, and some people returned when they were disappointed. Every meeting will change the economic pattern of Toyosu in a large or small way in the future.
"Just now... why didn't you let me pass?"
At the entrance of Fanglin Garden, Lin Wanru, who had been silent all the way, finally asked out the doubts in her heart.
Li Yi looked at her and asked, "Did you tell anyone about that method?"
"No." Lin Wanru shook her head.
"It's fine if you don't have one." Li Yi knocked on the courtyard door, turned around and said, "Forget about it, and don't let anyone know that you know that method, at least not now."
The doubt on Lin Wanru's face deepened, and when she was about to ask again, the courtyard door was already opened from the inside.
"See you tomorrow."
Li Yi waved to her, turned and walked in.
Lin Wanru stood there for a long time, then shook her head, not thinking about it for the time being, turned her head, and said to several Lin family guards: "Let's go back too."
"Why did you come back so late?" Second Miss Liu covered her mouth, her voice was full of tiredness.
"The fat man talked for too long at the end..." Li Yi handed her a package of things in his hand, and said, "The preserved fruit there is delicious, try it."
"It's too late, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Second Miss Liu took the paper bag, opened it, put a piece of dried fruit in her mouth, turned around and walked into the house.
Li Yi looked down and found that her ankles were bare. He shook his head and said, "The ground is dirty. Remember to wear shoes when you come out next time..."
He walked into the house, and the lights in the room came on, but they went out quickly.
In the Qian family, under the bright lights, Qian Caishen's fat face was full of spirits.
"Good stuff, good stuff!"
He patted his thigh and couldn't help but admire.
Qian Duoduo came over and asked, "Father, what good stuff?"
God of Wealth waved his hand and said, "Go, go to the accountant and bring me the account books from last month."
Qian Duoduo asked suspiciously: "Father, what do you want account books for?"
"Go!"
Qian Caishen said impatiently, and Qian Duoduo immediately stood up and trotted outside.
After a while, he walked in with a pile of accounts, humming.
"Put it here." Qian Caishen pointed to the table beside him, and moved the lamp to his side.
Qian Duoduo moved a chair, sat down opposite him, and looked at him with puzzled and curious eyes.
God of Wealth took the pen and ink, spread out a piece of paper, opened two account books, and recorded something on the paper from time to time.
Qian Duoduo propped his chin with his hands and looked at the opposite side, only watching the pages flipping and the lights flickering, his eyelids became heavy after a while.
Crash!
It was broad daylight, Qian Duoduo rubbed his head, got up from the ground, straightened the chair, finally wiped off the saliva left at the corner of his mouth, raised his head, and said in surprise: "Father, you didn't sleep all night?"
As his words fell, the God of Wealth put down his pen, raised his arms, stretched his waist, and sighed: "I'm getting old, it's only been one night, and my body can't take it anymore."
Qian Duoduo hurried over and thumped him lightly on the shoulder.
"Good stuff..." Qian Caishen picked up a piece of paper from the table, and said, "Qian Datong, Zheng Xuan, Ma Wei..., there are so many, please go down and let them call these stewards to me! "
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, you go and rest for a while, I'll go right away!"
Qian Caishen rubbed his brows, but did not rest. He picked up a piece of paper again, stroked the short beard on his chin, and began to write on it.
After a while, Qian Duoduo walked in from the outside and said, "Father, they are here!"
God of Wealth waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go out first."
Qian Duoduo looked at it suspiciously, and before leaving, he closed the door.
A middle-aged man among the three said with a smile: "I don't know what the shopkeeper wants from us?"
Qian Caishen glanced at them, and asked indifferently: "Datong, how long have you three been with me?"
"It's been five years since I returned to the shopkeeper." A hint of doubt first appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and then he said.
The two people on the left and right looked at each other, and a look of joy quickly appeared on their faces. The shopkeeper rarely asked these questions. Could it be that he wanted to promote them, the old men of the chamber of commerce
"Five years..." God of Wealth sighed, and said, "In five years, even a dog can wag its tail. Why did my surname Qian raise you three white-eyed wolves!"
When he said this, he stood up from the chair, and the momentum of his whole body changed suddenly. The bodies of the three trembled. When they raised their heads, they seemed to see a big mountain pressing down from the front...
…
…
In the early morning, when Li Yi opened the door, there were already a lot of people on the street, and the Fanglin Garden next to him had already opened the door.
I came back very late yesterday, and was tossed into the night by Miss Liu, saying that I woke her up and insisted on listening to some martial arts stories...
Li Yi covered his mouth and yawned. When he was about to turn around and go back, he saw Lin Wanru walking from a distance.
"Morning Miss Lin." Li Yi waved to her.
I didn't explain too much to her last night. The power of debit and credit bookkeeping is more powerful than heaven's punishment. If you don't do it, you will die. If you don't have enough strength, it's best not to be contaminated.
This matter has long been confirmed in Jingguo.
"morning."
Lin Wanru nodded slightly to him, walked in front of him, and walked into the shop.
Shaking his head, when he was about to go back and prepare breakfast for Miss Liu Er who hadn't woken up yet, Lin Yong's loud voice came from the shop beside him.
"Let's go, what about Great Britain and Little Britain, go to another place for food, don't disturb our business!"
Li Yi's footsteps stopped.
