After watching Zhu Qianying enter the hotel, Yan Shao instructed the driver, "Back to the Tong family!"
Yan Shao rarely returns to the Tong family home. Apart from attending and presiding over the monthly meeting, he usually manages the Tong family's vast business empire remotely.
Of course, his seemingly hands-off management style was not because the Tong family members were particularly obedient.
Rather, when he took over the Tong family's businesses from Old Madam Yan, he did put in a lot of effort to reorganize and renovate them. After nearly two years of major overhaul and reshuffling, the Tong family gradually accepted Young Master Yan, who came from an official and merchant family, and went from being disobedient to being completely convinced of his authority.
Over the past decade, Yan Shao has also cultivated a number of outstanding senior managers to oversee various areas of the Tong family, allowing him to dedicate more of his time to the Yanhuang Group.
Currently, apart from the KTV business, which he has been paying more attention to recently, most of the Tong family's other shady businesses are controlled by a few managers, and he remotely controls them.
After Yan Shao established a strong reputation within the Tong family, these clandestine businesses began to move towards formalization, both in terms of management and business operations.
Of course, this formalization is a huge upheaval and transformation for the Tong family, a powerful criminal gang that has been rooted in L City for nearly a century. For those old-fashioned people with deeply ingrained conservative ideas, Yan Shao's formalization of his business is tantamount to betrayal.
Tongyao KTV chain is the first business of the Tong family to move towards standardization. Judging from the booming performance of Tongyao KTV now, Tongyao KTV can be considered to have completely succeeded in its transformation.
This transformation process took Yan Shao and his managers nearly two years, during which they faced countless difficulties and obstacles.
Recently, Yan Shao has been working on reorganizing the Tong family's money shops. This reorganization process involves the interests of too many of the Tong family's collateral relatives. Therefore, it has already encountered various obstacles from a large group of Tong family members and relatives of the emperor since it just started.
Tong Feng was incited by these royal relatives, which led him to make such a mess.
Originally, Tong Feng was merely a pawn manipulated by the old ministers to test Young Master Yan's tolerance and bottom line. But Young Master Yan went all out, crippling him and sending him abroad, a move that immediately stunned the large group of royal relatives.
When they came to their senses, this large group of old ministers were furious!
The person who called Young Master Yan in the car just now was Ke Kai, the manager in charge of the Tong family's money exchange business.
"Grandpa, your uncles say they want to split up the money shop."
This was the first thing Ke Kai said after the call was connected.
Because Zhu Qianying was present, Yan Shao only gave a curt reply, "Speak!"
Seeing Zhu Qianying take out her earphones and put them on, Yan Shao then had Ke Kai give a general account of what had happened.
As soon as the driver brought Yan Shao back to Tongjia Village and the car stopped, several elderly men with gray hair surrounded him.
These old men were the uncles Ke Kai had mentioned on the phone, and also Madam Yan's cousins.
"Xiao Han, you're finally back!"
As soon as Yan Shao got out of the car, several members of the Tong family's collateral relatives, who were used to taking advantage of their age, surrounded him. One grabbed his left arm, another pulled his right arm, and the group pulled and tugged at him as if they wanted to tear him to pieces on the spot.
"Let go! Let's talk inside!" Young Master Yan was in a good mood today, so even though his tone wasn't very nice, his expression remained relatively calm.
This Tongjia Village is actually a villa complex in the heart of the city. When Madam Yan's father was in power, he bought a large area of land here and gradually built the entire villa complex. Outsiders call this place Tongjia Village.
The old guys had witnessed Yan Shao's sharpness before, and upon hearing what he said, they quickly withdrew their hands.
The blunt things they said to Ke Kai, they naturally wouldn't dare say to Young Master Yan.
"Xiao Han, the money exchange is doing very well right now, why do you want to change it?"
Tong Dezhi, the oldest among them, became the one to speak.
Yan Shao sat on his private single sofa, took the iPad handed to him by Ke Kai, and presented it with his left palm facing up. The maid quickly placed the ginseng tea that had been prepared in the morning into his hand.
Young Master Yan took a sip of ginseng tea to moisten his throat. The servant, with great tact, took the cup from him. Young Master Yan tapped the iPad screen with his finger. The table on it recorded in detail and clearly the changes in the bank's performance over the past few years.
"Uncle Zhi, do you remember how much profit you received from the bank three years ago?" Young Master Yan asked casually.
Tong Dezhi coughed twice, "It's been years... how could I remember?"
Yan Shao raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then held the iPad upside down. "Ke Kai!"
Like Qin Xiu, Ke Kai is also a very perceptive person. He has been by Yan Shao's side for three years and has already reached a certain tacit understanding with him.
He took the iPad and glanced at the data on it.
“Uncle Zhi, three years ago you received five million in dividends from the bank. The others received three million, two million, and one million respectively.”
"Two years ago, Uncle Zhi's dividend was eight million, and the others' dividends increased proportionally in turn. Last year, Uncle Zhi's dividend was ten million, and the others' dividends increased proportionally in turn."
After Yan Shao waited for Ke Kai to finish reading the data, he looked up at the old men sitting opposite him.
“Uncles, Ke Kai has taken over half of the money shop. In two years, your dividends have doubled. That means if the other half of the money shop were managed in the same way as Ke Kai, your dividends would increase by at least two to three times!”
Three years ago, Yan Shao divided the money shop in two: one half was managed and operated by Ke Kai in a standardized manner, and the other half was operated in the old model.
This approach serves two purposes: firstly, to seek a suitable transformation, and secondly, to prevent a too-rapid transformation from being unacceptable to these veteran officials, who might then rebel.
Now, with data to back it up, Young Master Yan is truly not afraid of their rebellion!
Tong Dezhi and the other old men exchanged glances. "Xiao Han, who knows if these data are accurate? He's an outsider; who knows whose side he's on?"
Yan Shao smiled and said, "Uncle Zhi, since you think he's an outsider and can't be trusted, fine. From today onwards, Ke Kai will completely ignore the other half of the bank. You'll be in complete control of both operations and revenue. Let's try it for a year. How does that sound?"
Tong Dezhi and the others couldn't help but smile. "Great! That's excellent!"
Yan Shao's eyes were cold. "Alright, it's settled then. Starting tomorrow, Ke Kai will manage all the money shops in the South City, and you will manage all the money shops in the North City. You will be responsible for your own operations and revenues. All the profits from the South City will go to me! All the profits from the North City will go to you!"
Upon hearing Yan Shao's words, the expressions of the old men changed drastically!
