Chapter 148 He is a military advisor

"Boss Cui, please prepare a table. I am treating you today. Please don't fool me with dead fish or rotten shrimp!"

"I wouldn't dare to fool anyone, but you!"

Boss Cui looked at Jin Peng and grinned.

He was surprised and happy!

What’s gratifying is that Jin Peng is a very open-minded person. He often brings a few store employees over to have a bite to eat. He doesn’t even ask the price and doesn’t mind spending a few more dollars.

What was shocking was that night, right at the doorstep of my own restaurant, I saw a thing called Zhao Zilong’s Silver Spear!

When Huang Gang knocked on the door, Boss Cui heard it, but he hesitated for a long time and still didn't open the door.

His eyes were poisonous, and he had seen that Hengsan's gang had recently gone crazy. At that time, more than 20 people rushed over. Who would care if you were the victim or an outsider? Who could you talk to if they hit you on the head with a shovel?

I finally seized the opportunity to become a millionaire and was about to enjoy my life. But is it worth it for the son of a poor friend?

But Huang Gang happened to be lucky enough to meet Jin Peng and a few other evil stars, who barely saved his life.

At noon the next day, Huang Gang's mother and daughter blocked Boss Cui's door and cursed him for two hours, but Boss Cui didn't dare to say a word.

If there wasn't a small private restaurant owned by Lao Cui nearby, and his cooking skills weren't very good, this scolding might have caused his business to go bankrupt!

"Brother Jin, today we have fresh beef, pig tails, and turtles. How many would you like?"

"Whatever you want, bring them all, and two bottles of the best wine."

"Okay! Please wait a moment!"

Lao Cui quickly went to the kitchen and pulled his youngest son over: "Go to your uncle Hai and ask for three pounds of prawns and two yellow croakers. Tell him that we need them urgently and we want fresh ones."

Lao Cui's youngest son ran away from the back. How could a small restaurant like theirs have so many prepared dishes?

You killed it in a flash, and let the picky customers taste the flavor, won't they destroy your reputation? Do you really think this is a state-owned restaurant?

More importantly, Jin Peng and his men knocked down and injured more than 20 people, but nothing happened to them afterwards.

Would you dare to serve rotten fish and shrimp to such a person?

Lao Cui's family was busy in the kitchen, while Tian Hongshan and others in front looked at each other, somewhat confused.

Jin Peng suddenly stopped them, took out his work ID, and then invited the three of them here, leaving no one sure what he was up to.

Tian Hongshan said: "Manager Jin, we are just chatting casually, there is no need to make it so troublesome, right?"

"What kind of trouble is this?" Jin Peng said as he distributed cigarettes to Tian Hongshan and others, "Brother, I came to the capital from the south, and I was completely in the dark. I was worried that I couldn't find anyone to lead the way!

I happened to meet some colleagues today. If I neglect them, wouldn’t it be considered as a lack of etiquette? "

Tian Hongshan was very calm. He and Jin Peng lit cigarettes for each other, then said with a smile: "It is said that colleagues are enemies. We came here today to learn from experience. Manager Jin's tolerance really makes us ashamed, hahaha~"

The other two also smiled apologetically in a low voice. After all, how could they not feel ashamed when they were caught stealing the master's skills?

But Jin Peng said generously: "Although colleagues are enemies, the capital is so big, can it be that there is no room for a small fish like me? Besides, our experience is not worth mentioning."

"Manager Jin, you are too modest, too modest."

Jin Peng was a man who was very suitable for the underworld. In just a few minutes, he resolved the awkwardness between the two parties.

After the main dishes were served and the wine was drunk, Jin Peng naturally told his plan.

"Our Pengcheng No. 7 Factory's Beijing office has just been established. If you are short of a business location, let's cooperate. We will take the responsibility and you will benefit."

Tian Hongshan is very shrewd, but as Jin Peng put forward his suggestions for cooperation one by one, he was surprised and couldn't help asking questions in return.

"Brother Jin, you said that the purchase, inventory, and sales are all yours? We don't need help?"

"right!"

"Then you are also responsible for paying the employees' salaries and medical benefits, but we are not responsible for anything?"

"Of course. They are all in the personnel files of our Seventh Factory's Beijing Office."

"You pay the taxes yourself, it has nothing to do with us?"

"Of course. How much is that?"

"What we share is the turnover, not the profit?"

"Yes! If we calculate the profit, there are so many things to argue about. It's too troublesome!"

“.”

Tian Hongshan and a few of his friends are also experienced in the business world, but no matter how they think about it, they don't think there is anything wrong. Instead, they think Jin Peng is a fool.

In fact, Jin Peng just occupied a counter in the department store, but he did not pay rent, but a commission from the turnover.

Regardless of whether Pengcheng Factory No. 7 makes a loss or a profit, even if a pair of socks is sold this month, Tian Hongshan will still have to take a few cents.

What’s more important is that the promotion held by Pengcheng Seventh Factory in the department store brought popularity to the department store!

In fact, this is the routine used by brands to enter shopping malls in later generations. The brand is responsible for all personnel and funds, and the shopping mall takes a cut.

It’s just that today’s department stores are not the shopping malls of later generations. They have their own capabilities to grow bigger and stronger independently. Unlike many shopping malls of later generations, once there are not enough merchants moving in, they become half-dead and like ghost towns.

Jin Peng's suggestion was actually to feed Tian Hongshan and others until they were half full, and then you can just lie down and sleep! The rest will be mine.

"Let's go back and report, and then we'll get in touch."

"Okay, let's get in touch."

Jin Peng shook hands with Tian Hongshan and others. When he shook hands with the third person, he felt something strange in the palm of his hand.

Hey, there's a way.

. . . . . . .

Jin Peng went to greet Tian Hongshan and others, and Li Ye prepared to go to the store to say hello to a few people who had just come from their hometown.

However, as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the older sister who had stepped forward to help during the first discount promotion last Sunday.

"Are you very busy, Sister Fang?"

"Hey, what are you busy about? It's just a two-hour job, how busy can it be?"

When Sister Fang saw Li Ye, her eyes lit up and she came over and asked, "Little brother, you came at the right time. You said that people from Manager Jin's hometown have come. Is it appropriate for us to help here?"

Because the store in Xiushui is always busy until after eight o'clock these days, Ma Qianshan asked the elder sister to find a few women from the neighborhood to come and help, paying them one yuan for two or three hours.

Now that people have come from Qingshui County, Sister Fang and the others are feeling uncomfortable, but they are too embarrassed to ask Jin Peng and Ma Qianshan directly. They just happen to meet Li Ye, the "manager's relative", so they think of asking him indirectly.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Don't you only come when there are discounts and promotions, and never come at other times?

This doesn’t conflict with being a regular employee, right? Why not come? Do you think the salary is too low? If so, I’ll go talk to you.”

"How can you complain about it being too little?" Another woman hurriedly said with a smile, "We all came here after get off work to help out and give the kids some pocket money. How can it be too much or too little?"

Sister Fang also said, "Brother, please don't misunderstand me! I am very grateful that Manager Jin can take care of my niece. How can I complain about it now?"

"Okay then. I won't say anything. Just pretend I didn't hear anything."

Li Ye laughed, waved his hand and went to find Ma Qianshan.

"This boy is smart and good-looking. I wonder if he has a boyfriend. He's my sister's child."

"She is a student of Kyoto University, so let's not match her up with her randomly."

"Wow, you're from Kyoto University! That will be amazing in the future."

Li Ye entered the store. Several people who had just come from Qingshui County were busy sorting goods and cleaning, while Ma Qianshan and Sister Fang's niece Fang Hongmei were carefully reconciling the accounts.

After each day’s promotion ends, the two of them have to align the accounts before they can leave work.

Although she gets off work late, Fang Hongmei received a basic salary of 37.5 yuan as soon as she was hired, plus overtime pay, which is much higher than her aunt, a veteran worker.

She has many brothers and sisters in her family, and they have to queue up to return to the city, which results in her returning very late. She has been unemployed at home for more than half a year and has not been able to find a job. Now she can suddenly earn fifty or sixty yuan a month, so she is very motivated.

However, today's reconciliation may not be smooth. The two of them used the calculator to calculate several times. In the end, Fang Hongmei's forehead was sweating, but they still couldn't get it right.

"Forget it, two dollars and fifty cents, just count it as loss first! You go home first, don't keep Sister Fang waiting for too long."

Ma Qianshan looked at Li Ye with some guilt and asked Fang Hongmei to leave work first.

But Fang Hongmei shook her head silently and picked up the account book again.

Sister Fang also came in and said seriously, "The accounts are not something else. We cannot have a single cent that is not right. We have to count until dawn today to find out what went wrong."

Ma Qianshan could only nod his head in agreement helplessly. In fact, he didn't care about two dollars and fifty cents, but wasn't Li Ye present today?

It's so embarrassing.

Li Ye smiled, turned his head and waved Ma Qianshan out of the store, and a slightly older man inside also followed out.

Ma Qianshan said: "This is Jiang Hong, who was introduced by the old man. He is the only one who knows your identity, Brother Xiaoye. Others think this is Jin Peng's business."

Li Ye thought for a moment and said to Jiang Hong, "Uncle Hong, I remember seeing you when I was a kid."

Jiang Hong's old-fashioned face showed a smile: "When I got married, my uncle carried you to my house for the wedding banquet. In a blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years."

"I remember now, Uncle Hong, you were the soldier who fought against the White Elephant in 1962, right?"

Li Ye finally confirmed that the Jiang Hong in front of him coincided with the young man in his memory.

"It happened many years ago," Jiang Hong sneered and said, "I don't know what my uncle was thinking. He specifically called for the people to come down from the southern battlefield this time. These guys are too hot-tempered and not very stable."

"You can't say that. Uncle Hong, don't you believe in my grandfather's judgment? They have a bad temper. Uncle Hong, please take more care of them and discipline them in the future."

"That's as it should be, as it should be."

Young people are hot-tempered, which is sometimes a bad thing, but sometimes a good thing.

People who have battlefield experience will not be timid or fearful when encountering major events and will be able to be of great use.

Uncle Hong spoke a few more words to Li Ye and then went to do other things. He spoke very little and seemed not good at communicating with others, but since Grandpa Li Zhongfa asked him to lead this group of boys, he must be a trustworthy person.

"Brother Xiaoye, there is something else today," Ma Qianshan whispered, "The tax people came today, and after I gave them an estimate and reported a number, they looked at me strangely."

"Strange?" Li Ye asked solemnly: "Why is it strange? Didn't you ask?"

Ma Qianshan said: "Those people's thoughts are really deep, I can't ask them out, but they finally asked me if there were any practical difficulties."

"That's fine. They think you reported too much tax."

"Ah?" Ma Qianshan was stunned and said with a bitter face: "What should I do? I haven't filed a tax return! How much more should I pay?"

"We have to pay this money."

Li Ye patted Ma Qianshan on the shoulder and said, "Didn't Jin Peng tell you that no matter what business you do, you must follow the principle of 'benefiting the country and the people'?"

"He never told me what is beneficial to the country and the people?"

Li Ye pointed to the store and said, "Take this small wholesale store for example. You offer discounts and promotions, so that ordinary people can buy cheap goods. Isn't that beneficial to the people?"

"If a store makes more money, it will naturally pay more taxes. Isn't that good for the country? Don't just think about making money for yourself. The country allows you to make money, so you have to bear the corresponding obligations."

“.”

"Little brother, what you said makes sense!"

Ma Qianshan was still thinking about what Li Ye said! Sister Fang and Fang Hongmei walked out of the store.

Sister Fang looked at Li Ye and said, "Although I don't understand the big principles, my little brother, your words really touched my heart."

Li Ye said modestly: "I also learned this from the professor at school. Sister Fang laughed at me."

Li Ye felt a little embarrassed. After all, what he proposed, "benefiting the country and the people", was more of a sense of self-protection.

"That's better than others," said Sister Fang, "No one in our unit has this awareness!"

"Sister, stop praising me," Li Ye quickly changed the subject: "Are the accounts correct?"

Fang Hongmei nodded weakly and said, "The accounts have been checked. It was Team Leader Ma who made a mistake in recording an account. You recorded a 10% discount as a 20% discount, and you shortchanged me by 2.5 yuan."

Ma Qianshan was very embarrassed and could only say self-deprecatingly: "Then I will write a self-review later!"

“Hahahaha~”

Sister Fang took Fang Hongmei away. After they walked a long way, Fang Hongmei asked in confusion, "Aunt, why do I see Team Leader Ma treating that Beijing University student like a leader?"

Sister Fang immediately said: "You don't know this, right? He is an economics major at Peking University. Does he know economics? He is not only a relative of Manager Jin, but also a military advisor."

"Oh, you're studying economics at Peking University! No wonder."

. . . . . .

Li Ye waited until Jin Peng came back and settled Ma Qianshan, Uncle Hong and others before driving back to Zaojun Temple.

In the car, Jin Peng said proudly: "Xiao Ye, I think we have an 80% chance of taking them down. Do you have any special instructions?"

Li Ye said: "Nothing special, it's still what we agreed on. Try to train more new people and recruit more experienced people. Don't look down on the salespersons. Treat everyone as your own."

Jin Peng shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I think Tian Hongshan is not bad, he will not be able to escape from me and you, Xiaoye, sooner or later."

"Brother Peng, don't be too proud. We don't have much time left. In a year at most, we will have to have our own team."

Seeing that Jin Peng was too proud, Li Ye poured some cold water on him.

"Don't worry, it will work."

As Jin Peng walked out of Qingshui County, he became more and more confident.

. . . . . .

When they arrived at Zaojun Temple, Li Ye found that Wang Jianqiang had returned.

When Wang Jianqiang saw Li Ye, he immediately became at a loss and said anxiously, "Brother, I had a day off today, so I didn't go to the warehouse."

Li Ye said with a smile: "You are a shareholder, you can take your turn to rest as you like! If you have any business to do, just go and do it.

Anyway, you won't get any bonus if you take too much time off, and you don't count on that salary, right?"

"Yeah, I understand, bro."

Wang Jianqiang suddenly felt at ease.

If Ma Qianshan heard what Li Ye said, he might panic and wonder for a long time whether Li Ye was trying to hit him.

But Wang Jianqiang wouldn't do that. Li Ye is his brother, so he will do whatever his brother says.

But just when Li Ye pushed his bicycle and was about to go back to school, Wang Jianqiang suddenly timidly grabbed the bicycle.

"Brother, I have something to ask of you."

"What's the matter? Do you need to beg for help?" Li Ye was very surprised and immediately became serious.

Wang Jianqiang nodded for a long time before whispering, "I want to learn economics from you."

Li Ye was silent for a few seconds, then asked strangely, "What did you say? Louder?"

Wang Jianqiang raised his head and said loudly: "Brother, I want to learn economics from you."

“.”

"Pfft~~Hahahahahahaha, you're such an idiot, do you know what economics is? Hahahaha~"

Jin Peng laughed so hard that his cigarette dropped. He pointed at Wang Jianqiang and laughed until tears came out.

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Qiangzi, why did you want to learn economics from me?"

Wang Jianqiang said blankly: "Because it is economically useful."

Li Ye couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Then tell me, what is the use of economics?"

Wang Jianqiang's face turned red and he couldn't speak.

Today in the hospital, Huang Gang's sister Huang Suwen didn't even look at Wang Jianqiang at first.

But after Wang Jianqiang spoke a long speech about economics, the eyes of the quick-witted girl lit up.

Do you think the economy is useful?

Do you think it’s useful?

Li Ye understood Wang Jianqiang's look and immediately said seriously, "Okay, I'll come to teach you some economics knowledge in a few days, but I'll test you after I teach you."

"Hey, thank you brother!"

Wang Jianqiang smiled naively.

Jin Peng looked at the pair of funny brothers, smiled disdainfully, took out a Zhonghua cigarette and lit it.

But then, Li Ye turned around and said to him, "Brother Peng, you too, you have to learn."

"Don't be unconvinced. When we were in Qingshui County, there were only a few of us. How many people are you in charge of now? What about in the future?

If you were asked to speak on stage, would you really fart for your employees to hear? "

“.”

“Hahahahaha~hahaha~”

Wang Jianqiang was like a monkey, laughing and jumping in the yard, extremely happy.

Thanks to the book friend "Ningpin" for the 500-coin reward, thanks to the book friend "Live Free" for the reward, thanks to the book friend "Kuangye de Su Daqiang" for the reward. Thank you brothers!!!
