It was rumored that Bai Fuling was the real boss of the Bai family, but Bai Shanglu or Bai Pingzi and other stewards had always been in charge of the affairs of the Bai family. Bai Fuling seldom appeared in person. These vendors saw her appearing in the hall At that time, I knew that this matter was no small matter. Hearing what she said, I immediately pricked up my ears to listen carefully.
"First, you can't sit on the ground and raise prices. You can use this exclusive right to drive up prices. You can raise prices appropriately, but they can't exceed 50% of the original price. Half of it needs to be handed over to Tongcai Yahong as a commission for cooperation."
Bai Fuling likes to make money together with everyone, but Yan Guo's style of plucking hair will never change. These vendors have more or less cooperated with the Bai family, and they know Tong Cai Ya's style of work. This opportunity is another The Bai family gave it, so she asked for a commission. Everyone thought it was reasonable, and no one had any objections.
"Second, peace is the most important thing in business. Please take care of other experts as much as possible. You have limited supply of goods. You can go to the door to buy the inventory of your peers. Don't use public equipment to take advantage of the opportunity to lower prices. Take a long-term view. In the future, everyone If you want to continue to gain a foothold in this Beiguan City, offending all your peers will only hurt everyone.” Although the character of these people is credible, we still need to remind them, so as not to expand their selfishness by holding privileges.
After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense, and they all nodded in agreement.
"Third, this is the most important point. Beware of spies taking the opportunity to make trouble. All those who handle these things must be reliable people you can trust. If spies are mixed in and something goes wrong, you bosses must Sitting and being tortured, this is a serious crime of beheading, no jokes, you must be cautious!" When Bai Fuling said this, her voice was already stern, and the people in the hall heard her uttered these words in a childish and crisp voice Come on, I can't help but feel timid, obviously she is just a girl who has not yet reached her age...
"Several places in the city were set on fire and destroyed by spies last night. Although the barbarian cavalry retreated this morning, they may make a comeback at any time. The general and his troops are out for the past few days. They must be unwilling to attack the city. The spies in the city will definitely try to create Chaos can create opportunities for them to break the city. I don't want the chaos to come from our Bai family."
Seeing that the following people had already understood, Bai Fuling gestured to the maid Hongqu who had been preparing for a long time, and then said to the invited business owners: "I am confident that I can do the three points I said, and I am willing to take the next step." Business people go to Hongqu to get a certificate, which has your name and identity written on it, and it is stamped with the seal of Tongcai Dental. Report it to the general's mansion, the government office and me, otherwise it will be punished as collaborating with the enemy."
It was decapitation and it was dealt with as collaborating with the enemy. The bosses felt chills when they heard it. The excitement in their heads immediately calmed down. it is good.
After solving the food problem of the merchants and common people during the martial law period, Bai Fuling pushed all other matters to the almighty general manager Bai Shanglu, and went to the back to rest.
Bai Shanglu Yiyang Hulu received several groups of "relationship households" of the Bai family one after another. The so-called related households refer to the people who redeemed themselves from the Bai family to set up their own businesses, or their relatives, just like the group of merchant bosses that Bai Fuling met with.
Everyone earns money, not to mention that these people have more or less investment or shares in the Bai family's business, so Bai Fuling is naturally happy to use the opportunity to let them have a monopoly business addiction, and make "war money" along the way.
At the same time, as she said, these people all know the basics, and they are not afraid of being infiltrated with spies and taking the opportunity to make trouble. In times of emergency, they have also become good helpers to assist the officers and soldiers in managing the order in the city, and they can accomplish many things that the officers and soldiers cannot take care of.
Bai Shanglu spent the whole morning receiving these people. The list of everyone was compiled by a few maids around Bai Fuling. He confirmed with Bai Fuling. His character and reputation are trustworthy, and he is reliable and careful in his work. can be entrusted.
At noon, Bai Ashi, who was sent to run errands, came back. He listened to Bai Fuling's instructions, and went to the government office and commercial office to report carefully about Huang Bai's going to sell food and grain.
Huang Bai received Bai Fuling's entrustment last night to undertake the meal business of these two foreign merchants. He led people to prepare meals and dry food overnight and sent them to the government office and commercial office for sale in the morning. The price was almost the same as usual.
Those merchants who were unprepared and frightened all night ate a full meal, and the price was reasonable and the taste was good. They were all moved to tears, and they were very happy to pay.
Fortunately, some merchants had prepared some dry food on their own. Otherwise, relying on Huangbai alone, it is estimated that many people would not be able to eat even when they were busy until dark. Huangbai Tongyun Building didn't have that many reserves at all, and he kept sending people to buy from other colleagues who couldn't open for business, so he barely managed it.
Huang Bai is a capable person, otherwise Bai Fuling would not have approached him first, apart from the fact that he runs a restaurant business directly related to eating, one of the most important reasons is his ability to make arrangements for emergencies. When he took people to sell food, he also knew to appease the emotions of the merchants, and paid for the officials and servants in the two places.
Others can't think of making money from these merchants, but the officials and servants in the government office and commercial office who are in charge of guarding the merchants have thought of it a long time ago. They originally planned to take the opportunity to raise prices to make a fortune, and they were very dissatisfied with Huang Bai leading people to rob business openly, but Who let people have the Bai family as a backer? The backstage of the Bai family is Lu Ying, the general of Zhenbei! If they are angry, they can only hold it back, but if this kind of resentment has accumulated, God knows when it will explode and what kind of damage it will cause.
Huang Bai saw this clearly, and took the initiative to distribute money to these officials and servants, which greatly reduced their resistance, and really made everyone happy in one thing.
Bai Ashi is the most eloquent and clearest thinking among the guards of the Bai family. He explained the matter vividly from beginning to end in a few words, making people feel as if they were personally in the scene. Bai Shanglu couldn't help but nod in praise. : "Huang Bai is indeed a capable person. If it were me, I might not be able to do everything in such a comprehensive way."
What Huang Bai did was explained in a few words by Bai Ashi. In fact, everything was done with great emphasis on the executive ability of the person doing the work. In addition, in such a short period of time, it was necessary to sort out the matter clearly, carry out it separately and cooperate with each other. It is seamless, taking into account the interests of all parties involved, which is simply not something ordinary people can do.
Bai Fuling sat leisurely by the side and didn't miss a chance to brag: "Of course, of course, I don't even look at who came out of it."
When Bai Shanglu heard this, he almost wanted to roll his eyes like his younger sister Bai Guo. With Bai Fuling's bully temperament, offending people is as natural as eating and drinking. Huang Bai only needs to learn one ten-thousandth of it to do bad things. Fortunately, she has the face to speak so boldly.
They exchanged a look of "you understand" with Bai Ashi helplessly, and the two of them directly skipped the nonsense of their own lady and continued to discuss some meaningful things.
"You have seen it in two places, but do you still have any questions?" Bai Shanglu asked.
Bai Ashi had already expressed his opinion: "There are a few questions. The temperature difference between day and night in Beiguan City is quite large. Even if it is summer, the nights are very cool. There are a large number of merchants under guard. Most of them were forced to sit on the ground, and when I went, I heard some people coughing, and I was afraid they had a cold."
Bai Fuling was proud again when she heard it, and said with a smile: "Look at how clever I am! I have already asked Fang Hai's medical center to send people to these two places to set up clinics, administer medicines, treat emergencies, and even rent them out. Tents, beds, quilts, etc., have you ever seen such a considerate person like me?"
Her self-promotion was still unappreciated, Bai Shanglu nodded and continued to ask: "What else?"
"And..." Bai Ashi raised his eyes to look at Bai Fuling, who was sitting beside him with a long and elongated face. He was hesitant to speak, and finally explained the following under Bai Fuling's impatient stare: "Also, the officials and merchants There were too many people gathered in the office, and many people defecated everywhere... the smell was terrible. But it only passed one night, if this situation continues, few people will be able to stand the smell."
The expression on Bai Ashi's face immediately twisted when he thought of the smell. Everyone in the Bai family knew that Bai Ashi was a bit of a clean freak, no wonder he paid special attention to this.
Bai Fuling snorted, "Eating, drinking, and lassing are things people do every day. You are a big man, what are you embarrassed to say?! I have sent someone to solve this matter."
Bai Ashi finally praised sincerely: "Miss is wise!"
"Hmph! I've always been very wise!" Bai Fuling was dissatisfied with such a brief compliment, and was about to say something more, but Bai Shanglu interrupted: "Are there other things besides these?"
"Yes! Many merchants said that when they arrived at the Yamen Commercial Office, they were in a hurry. The goods were left in inns, post houses, or temporarily rented carriages and warehouses. If you leave, the business will fail, and you will miss going to other places to go to the market, negotiate business, etc..." Bai Ashi casually listed a lot of problems that merchants are more worried about.
Bai Fuling opened her mouth, and before she could say anything, Bai Shanglu took the lead: "This has been arranged, and the people from Tongcai Dental Clinic will help solve it this afternoon."
Bai Ashi grinned and said, "Miss is still thoughtful. For the rest, it's nothing for now."
"Okay, you can go and do your work first, and the lady will give orders later."
Bai Shanglu sent Bai Ashi away, and when he turned around, he saw Bai Fuling staring at him unkindly, with a smile added to his plain expression, pretending not to see her dissatisfaction, he got up and said goodbye: " The subordinates are going to prepare for the afternoon, so I will take my leave first."
