Glory all the way

Chapter 175
"According to the old practice of previous years, after a year of hard work, it's New Year's Eve again. Everyone from the big shopkeeper to the shopkeeper who cleans the shop will give out a red envelope to win the prize. It can be regarded as a reward for everyone's hard work for a year."

Talking softly, Bai Yingluo smiled and said, "I want to change the method, which is what I just told my husband, to share dividends with everyone."

"According to Miss, even the young man can participate in the shares?"

Tao Jianming asked with a smile.

After the initial surprise, Tao Jianming's heart was filled with great surprises. For the first time in his life, he felt a sense of what a confidant could ask for.

Tao Jianming's family has lived in the family for generations. When he was a child, he often played with his grandfather in the counting room. Those sounds of abacus that others heard were boring, but in his ears it was like listening to heaven.

The grandfather said that this is the innate talent of the Tao family.

Among the Tao family, there are many successful businessmen, but Tao Jianming feels that those business methods that stick to the rules are exhausted all year round, not to mention that they can't make much money, and let people fight for those petty profits. Lost the true qualities of being a human being.

Later, he first worked as a boy in the store, then as a steward, and then as a shopkeeper, until later he became the second shopkeeper of Shibapu in Taozhen.

Outsiders only saw his scenery, but no one saw the hard work he spent inside.

The eldest brother Tao Jianhui is the big shopkeeper. He has been recognized as the leader of the Tao family since his grandfather. After he became the big shopkeeper of Taozhen Shibapu, he is arbitrarily arbitrary in many things in the shop and rarely listens to others. Views.

However, whether it is ability or luck, the facts always prove time and time again that he is right.

As time went by, even Tao Jianming himself felt that he, the second shopkeeper, was not worthy of his name.

When the old patriarch of Baijiazhuang came to be a lobbyist for Miss Six of Jing'an Hou Mansion, Tao Jianming knew that the opportunity had come.

Almost begging his father, Tao Jianming won this opportunity for himself, and with the mentality of giving it a try, he came to the capital, and then followed Hu Da shopkeeper to a shop in another place.

In addition to the first meeting during the Chinese New Year last year, the contact with Bai Yingluo, and the exchange of letters in this year, but the calmness and intelligence that Bai Yingluo showed between the lines, as well as the kind of "employees are not suspicious and others are not." Tao Jianming felt that he had made the right bet.

Tao Jianming was even more overjoyed by Bai Yingluo's idea of ​​replacing dividends with equity participation.

Tao Jianming had such an idea when he was working as the second shopkeeper in the [-]th Shop in Taozhen. In his opinion, those little guys, even the shopkeepers in the shop, can get nothing but monthly salary throughout the year. It is the generous red envelope during the Chinese New Year. Year after year, I always devote my endless efforts to make wedding dresses for others. In the process, there will inevitably be some people who eat and drink, which will bring a lot of trouble to the store. Here comes the invisible consumption.

If dividends are replaced by shareholding, everyone becomes a part of the store, and they will naturally have the spirit of participation, and when they start doing things, they will have a little more motivation to work hard. People who eat and drink will be eliminated after a long period of time. In just a few years, the people in the whole shop can be full of energy. Why worry about bad business?
Especially for a host like Bai Yingluo who has her own assets and has penetrated a little bit of various industries, if a good strategy can be implemented, in the future, the business will already grow bigger, and it will be easier to make a name for yourself.

Therefore, when someone had the same idea as himself, Tao Jianming suddenly felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling, which made him look forward to the future with some difficulty.

"Boys are human too, and they are better than young. If they have ideas and drive, they may not become people like Mr. in the future, what do you think?"

Since this meeting, Bai Yingluo has used Tao Jianming's respectful title. Although Tao Jianming didn't show it on the surface, in his heart, he became more and more convinced that his original decision was correct.

Responding with a smile, Tao Jianming cupped his hands and said: "That being the case, when the shopkeepers and stewards arrive one after another these days, I will get together with the big guys and talk about it. If you have any questions, feel free to tell the lady."

"Mr. Lao is here."

Bai Yingluo thanked her.

The report was almost done, Tao Jianming got up to leave at the right time, Bai Yingluo said familiarly: "It's still the yard where my husband lived in the past, and I have ordered my servants to clean it up. I will send someone to lead him over. I will prepare some drinks for you." Mister and Shopkeeper Hu are here to clean up the dust, so you can do whatever you want. Take a good rest for a few days, and after a few days the shopkeepers will arrive, and Mister will be busy again."

Tao Jianming nodded his thanks and went out in a happy mood.

For several days in a row, Bai Yingluo would invite Tao Jianming to come over to talk when she was free. After a few days, Bai Yingluo was already very familiar with the current operating conditions of the shops in her hand.

Clutching the income summary that Tao Jianming sorted out for herself a few days ago, Bai Yingluo smiled and said, "So, I have nearly 10 taels of cash that I can use now?"

Tao Jianming nodded.

Bai Yingluo said with some mirth, "Before I knew it, I also had my own property."

When speaking, there was a smug and innocent look on his face.

Seeing her like this for the first time, Tao Jianming also laughed, and asked her casually about her plan for the money, "Except for the turnover money left for each store, there is about 5 taels left, miss. Store it in the bank to earn interest, or do you make any arrangements?"

"Everything is according to the wishes of the master, is it so good?"

Bai Yingluo asked slyly.

Slightly surprised, Tao Jianming also laughed, "Miss, aren't you afraid that I will run away with this large sum of money, and from now on, Miss will be nowhere to be found like a needle in a haystack?"

Shrugging her shoulders indifferently, Bai Yingluo said in a relaxed tone: "Even a young man can participate in shares, let alone a man at the helm like Mr. Maybe in a few years, Mr. A small industry is operating all over the Song Dynasty. At that time, the husband will also be a shareholder, and the money he earns may be countless 5 taels. What about unethical things?"

Putting a high hat on Tao Jianming, what Bai Yingluo said was extremely reassuring, and Tao Jianming felt uncomfortable in every part of his body after hearing this.

"Jian Ming thanked Miss Guo, the kindness of knowing, encountering and supporting, will never be forgotten."

Standing up and prostrating solemnly, Tao Jianming bowed to Bai Yingluo.

In a blink of an eye, it was the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and red lanterns were hung up everywhere in the capital. Although it was not yet New Year's Eve, there was already a New Year's atmosphere.

The shopkeepers from all over the place have already arrived. After paying homage to Bai Yingluo, they retreated with Tao Jianming and Hu Da shopkeepers. They were silent for a few days. When she was in Yingluo, she couldn't hide her joy and excitement.

As for shopkeeper Hu, except for the first day when the shopkeepers gathered together to announce to everyone that he would return home for retirement, after Tao Jianming became the big shopkeeper in the future, when he participated in gatherings, most of them would doze off on the sidelines, neither asking nor asking questions. He made a sound, as if he was here to listen, and Tao Jianming's knowledge and ideas, all the shopkeepers were also impressed after appreciating it. In just a few days, Tao Jianming and Hu Da shopkeeper completed a smooth handover invisibly.

In the next few days, Tao Jianming discussed the specific details with the shopkeepers and drafted a charter. After showing it to Bai Yingluo for approval, the shopkeepers each copied a copy and set off on their way home one after another.

From the capital to Tao Town, it takes a few hours to get there quickly, so Tao Jianming was the last one to leave.

With the generous New Year gift prepared by Bai Yingluo for him, as well as the infinite expectations and longings for the future, Tao Jianming embarked on the journey back to Tao Town.

After Tao Jianming left, Bai Yingluo's life returned to its former peace.

There are still a few days before the Chinese New Year, and with the 10 taels of silver in place, for Bai Yingluo, the 19th year of Jiayuan is undoubtedly a good start, and the days to come will only get better and better.

Thinking of this, Bai Yingluo was grateful to Old Master Bai and Old Lady Bai, as well as Mrs. Xue who always mentioned her, so she planned to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to show her filial piety to them.

In the past, Bai Yingluo would do some needlework from time to time, for old master Bai's knee pads, warm shoes for old lady Bai, thick boots for Marquis Jing'an, or fur vest for Mrs. Xue. Now, she has The amount of personal money that belongs to her is still very objective, so Bai Yingluo naturally wants to express it even more.

When giving a gift, it is natural to do what the person likes, and if she decides to show it, Bai Yingluo will act decisively.

The old master Bai was addicted to chess, so Bai Yingluo entrusted Tao Jianming to find a set of chess records that were said to have been lost for a long time from Gufengxuan.As for the old lady Bai, Bai Yingluo had no idea what to do, so she still did it herself and made a new set of clothes for her grandmother, from a warm hat on her head to warm shoes on her feet.

At the Marquis of Jing'an, Bai Yingluo sent a pair of real landscape paintings that he likes to collect, while Xue Shi, Bai Yingluo made a whole set of red gold inlaid ruby ​​heads with real gold and silver. When the box was opened, golden light overflowed, Rao It was Mrs. Xue who was used to seeing such good things, and was still taken aback, and then seemed to be happy for something.

Just in time for New Year's Eve, Bai Yingluo personally delivered the gifts she had prepared to everyone, including Bai Jinyuan, Jia Shi, and Brother Kun. The whole family gathered in Qing'an Hall, and when they saw Bai Yingluo, they were all overwhelmed. Full compliments.

The second bedroom and the fourth bedroom naturally both received gifts from Bai Yingluo, but they only regarded it as a New Year's gift, the fourth wife didn't care about it, and the second wife didn't react.

When she saw that everyone was full of praise for Bai Yingluo, the Second Madam curiously inquired about it. After asking around, when the Second Madam looked at Bai Yingluo again, her eyes became more and more curious. Dissatisfied.

You know, Erfang has raised Bai Yingluo for more than ten years, now, how can she favor one another so much?

Not happy in her heart, the second wife looked at the smiling Bai Yingluo who was snuggling beside the old lady Bai, and couldn't help thinking secretly.
