Time flew by. A week had already passed. Today, everyone received their 35 yuan salary from Xu Changsheng. Zhang Liang received 45 yuan, Zhang Yi received 40 yuan, Yu Jie received 45 yuan, Zhang Jing received 45 yuan, Li Xian received 45 yuan, and Xu Changsheng received 45 yuan. Xu Hu said he was now a shareholder and would receive commissions, so he didn't need any money.

Five people were in the study, reporting on their respective work.

"The supply and marketing cooperative is currently in a break-even state. It's not making any profit. The supplies that the military comes to get are all taken from the warehouse. Sister Le also makes up for it, so it's a profit, but not much." Xu Changsheng showed Su Le and Xu Jiaojiao the account book of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Su Le just glanced at it a few times and knew what was going on. "The supply and marketing cooperative itself isn't profitable. Just being able to break even is already good enough."

Yu Jie took out the account book of the milk tea shop and said, "After deducting the cost, the milk tea shop currently has a profit of 1,500 yuan."

Su Le took it and looked at it. He saw that they had been selling about 600 to 700 cups a day recently. "I'll go with you to the store tomorrow to launch the new style."

Yu Jie nodded excitedly.

Wang Ming took out the clothing store's account book and said, "The clothing store has been profitable since it opened. As of today, it's 15,000."

Su Le handed all the account books to Xu Changsheng. "You have to do a monthly accounting, deduct various expenses, and then calculate the profit. Tell me. You have to include the wages of the embroiderers. You also have to include the wages of the store employees. I will still provide the clothing, so you don't have to record the costs. Don't record the costs of the milk tea shop later. I will find someone to provide it once a week and put it in the warehouse outside. If there is no stock, you can go and get it. We will pay for our own water and electricity. By the way, has anyone asked about the clothing store before?"

Xu Hu nodded, "Yes, I have rented it to them. The rent is 3,000." He took out 3,000 and gave it to Su Le.

Others also handed Su Le the cash boxes in the store.

Su Le took out all the money and put a thousand yuan in each box as a reserve. He kept a mix of small and large amounts to make it easier for them to find the change. "Each store has a thousand yuan reserve. Xu Changsheng will keep track. Xu Hu, you will also have to reconcile the accounts with Xu Changsheng every month. Sometimes Jiaojiao and I may not be around. Keep a thousand yuan in the cash box every day. When you come back every day, take out the extra money and give it to Xu Hu. Xu Changsheng will keep the record."

"Okay!" Everyone nodded.

"Zhang Jing, just focus on preparing for the bar exam. Li Xian, feel free to come with us to visit other stores. You can slowly train your own people, as long as they are loyal."

"good."

"You guys go back." Su Le said to them. They left and returned to their rooms and continued to study hard.

Xu Changsheng had just taken out 1,210 yuan from the cash box, and there were 3,000 yuan left from the three store cash boxes. Now there was 0.2 yuan left in Su Le's phone. "Now it's our turn to divide it. Xu Hu, go to Jiang's house and call Jiang Liang over."

Xu Hu and Jiang Liang also became familiar with each other, and soon went to the Jiang family compound and brought Jiang Liang over.

"Jiang Liang, we have started to divide the profits. The total is 0.2 per month, and Xu Hu gets 10%. Xu Hu gets 1232.52. I was wondering why you don't want the salary. You are just waiting to get the biggest share." Su Le teased.

Xu Hu took the money with a smile, "I didn't expect it would be so much. Hahahaha"

"Jiang Liang, you get 20%, 2465.04 is yours." Su Le handed the money to Jiang Liang, who was flattered. "I thought I would get my share next month."

Su Le shook his head. "You paid the bulk of the renovation. I have to give it to you."

"Jiaojiao, this is your share, 25%, 3081.3" Su Le gave the money to Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Jiaojiao said with a sad face, "This is not even enough for me to give them as a welcome gift."

Jiang Liang asked curiously, "What's the gift?"

Xu Jiaojiao looked at Xu Hu. "It's just his employees. Each of them gave 50 yuan. That's over 1,600 yuan spent, and now it's only 1,400 yuan. I also have to buy them clothes, which will cost about 500 or 600 yuan. The rest is my own. Lele contributed the most, and a few leaders took and spent almost 1,000 yuan."

Su Le smiled and said, "Fourteen thousand isn't too much, right? Besides, we'll be profitable next month. Besides, you can't expect a horse to run without giving it grass. How can such a good thing happen? This is a measure to appease people. Then they will work harder."

Jiang Liang looked at the money in his hand thoughtfully. He thought about the employees in his store. It seemed like they didn't receive many bonuses, but their salaries were high. He wondered if he could emulate Su Le's management style.

Su Le's share was 5546.34, not even enough to cover his investment.

Jiang Liang said to Xu Hu, "Huzi, I will make up for it by the time the New Year comes."

Xu Hu didn't refuse and nodded in agreement. "You said that yourself, so I thank you on their behalf. I wish Boss Jiang great fortune in the future!"

Jiang Liang laughed and punched him. "Remember this. I'm going back first." He turned and left.

Su Le looked at Xu Jiaojiao with a smile, "You didn't do that on purpose, did you?"

Xu Jiaojiao laughed dryly and nodded, "Of course not! We're all bleeding profusely, how could he possibly escape?"

Xu Hu suddenly felt that the money in his hands was about to be lost. Su Le also noticed him and comforted him, "Don't worry about it. It will be the same if you give it to them when you make money in the future."

Xu Hu was about to nod after hearing the first sentence, but the second one made him smile bitterly. But he soon came to his senses. They were all following his brothers, so it didn't matter if he earned less. He was alone, and some of them had families to support.

Su Le thought of the word "red envelope" and quickly came up with an idea. "Jiaojiao, I have an idea. I have a radio, a watch, and a bicycle. Before the New Year, I want to draw lots for them and treat them to a meal. It can be considered our first annual meeting."

Xu Jiaojiao was annoyed, "Let Jiang Liang get away, otherwise I would have asked him to do something."

Su Le comforted her, "He can't escape, there must be one for him. Just let him give the red envelope."

Xu Jiaojiao and Xu Hu asked at the same time, "What is the annual meeting?"

Su Le explained, "A watch is first prize, a bicycle is second prize, and a radio is third prize. I'm offering one thousand yuan for fifty-one bags. We're playing a game of pass the parcel or something like that. It's an impromptu performance. Everyone votes, and the five best performers draw a prize."

Xu Jiaojiao also looked forward to it. "I'll give a thousand too. It should be very lively. By the way, fifty yuan a bag, what is it for?"

Su Le was waiting for her to tell him the money. "It's a red envelope for them. One for each person."

Xu Jiaojiao calculated that fifty-one people were only twenty. She immediately understood. "Le Le! You're plotting against me!!!"

Su Le had already run out of the study and returned to his room, hiding behind the door and laughing non-stop.

Xu Jiaojiao knocked on the door angrily. After knocking for a few minutes, Su Xiao came out of his room and asked, "What's going on?"

Xu Jiaojiao began to complain to Su Xiao about Su Le, "You good sister! You cheated me out of a thousand! I'm so angry!"

Su Xiao smiled and pulled her back to his room, asking her questions. After figuring out what was going on, he began to coax her. He soon coaxed Xu Jiaojiao into submission.

Xu Jiaojiao wasn't really angry, she just felt that she was too stupid to jump into a trap dug by others.
