Exiled, the Medical Concubine emptied the warehouse and escaped from the famine

Chapter 227: Subjugating the Shopkeeper (2)

"it is true!"

"Yes, we were watching the whole time. We saw all the arithmetic processes and drafts. We didn't look at them in advance."

The shopkeepers around spoke one by one.

Just now, their boss asked them to supervise this young man, and they were a little puzzled.

It was not until he saw that the young man wrote very quickly and his mind was quick, not like that of an ordinary person, that he began to show shock.

It turns out that there are such smart people in this world!

What a math genius!

The accountants around him stared at Gao Zexun, almost staring a hole through him.

Xie Ling pointed at Gao Zexun and said, "There are countless people in the world who are good at arithmetic. You just answered my questions very perfunctorily, but my companion alone can defeat a hundred of you and calculate the questions you are unwilling to answer. Are you convinced?"

"Clothes!"

"Clothes!"

The voices of the accountants rang out one by one.

Do you dare to disobey? If you do, Xie Ling will fire them and they will be left starving!

Xie Ling's move was extremely simple and brutal, and it was deadly.

Seeing that most people were convinced by her, Xie Ling got straight to the point. "I called you here today not to show off my power or to intimidate you. I want to tell you that I want to lead you to a higher starting point, to make more money, and to expand more industries. What I will ask you to do may subvert your cognition. Are you willing to follow me?"

Almost no one hesitated, and everyone said loudly: "Yes!"

Xie Ling is so courageous, and somehow she has a power that convinces people.

It makes people willing to believe her words, willing to sacrifice their lives for her, and become her most loyal supporters.

Xie Ling raised the wine glass in her hand and said loudly: "I know that some of you are from the Si family, and some are from the Feng family, and there may be some barriers between you.

But after drinking this glass of wine, we will all be a family without any blood relationship. We should not distinguish between each other. We only have one goal, to become bigger and stronger, to make a fortune, and to be rich enough to rival a country! "

Xie Ling's voice became higher and higher, and everyone present was moved and shouted along with her: "Make it bigger and stronger, make a fortune, and become rich enough to rival a country!"

At this moment, everyone forgot each other's identities, forgot that Xie Ling was just a teenage girl, and only knew that she was their best partner and the most powerful helper on the road ahead.

Everyone clinked their glasses together and drank the wine with great generosity.

Seeing that her emotions were brewing, Xie Ling signaled Gao Wanhua to fetch the paper and pen prepared nearby.

Xie Ling wrote three rows of big words on it.

"I plan to divide my businesses into three groups: catering, entertainment, and accommodation. I want to sort out the entertainment group first, and discuss the others later. As for the leader of the entertainment group, I already have a candidate in mind."

Xie Ling looked at Luo Changsheng. Luo Changsheng's heart started beating like a drum and he was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands.

"It's Shopkeeper Luo Changsheng. When I visited the store yesterday, I saw Shopkeeper Luo's qualities. He is very suitable to be a team leader. I believe you can do the job."

Luo Changsheng pinched his thigh hard, stood up straight, and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to serve the master! I will go all out and try to satisfy the master!"

Luo Changsheng has been the shopkeeper for many years, but he has never been as excited and expectant as this moment.

He always felt that he was about to step into a new world.

Xie Ling was very satisfied with Luo Changsheng's performance.

People who do business must be ambitious.

Her target is not the small Sinan County.

Her target is the seven kingdoms, the whole world.

She must train a team of loyal, capable and ambitious people.

Xie Ling applauded, "Very good, Manager Luo is very good. As for the others who were not selected as team leaders, don't be discouraged. There are still two teams. I will observe them carefully during this period and appoint whoever performs best as the team leader.

The position of team leader is not just talk, of course there are rewards. Manager Luo’s monthly salary has increased from ten taels of silver to one hundred taels of silver. If the task is completed well, there will be commissions, which are extra bonuses.

As for the others, as my subordinates, Xie Ling's salaries will all be doubled!"

Those who had been feeling uncomfortable upon hearing Xie Ling say that Luo Changsheng's monthly salary had increased from ten taels to one hundred taels, felt completely relieved upon hearing Xie Ling's words.

They didn’t do anything, but their monthly salary increased?

Everyone secretly worked hard, thinking that they must become the team leader!

Luo Changsheng was almost fainting.

What? Did he hear it right? One hundred taels of silver per month?

Is this really not a joke?

He wouldn't even dream of doing this!

Luo Changsheng hurriedly thanked Xie Ling again, almost on the verge of tears, his voice choked.

"Thank you, Boss. How could I, Luo Changsheng, deserve your respect?"

Xie Ling helped him up and said, "You are capable enough to do the job."

That’s enough for today. Talking too much and being too sentimental will only bore people and have the opposite effect.

Xie Ling only kept a part of the shopkeepers and let the others go.

"Do you know why I asked you to stay?"

Xie Ling asked.

One shopkeeper boldly asked, "Because we are all rouge and powder shops?"

Xie Ling raised her hand, "You are the first to answer, you have courage, reward. But you answered wrong, next one."

With someone taking the lead, the shopkeepers responded with more enthusiasm than the other, rushing to answer.

“Because we all sell ready-made clothes!”

"Bullshit, we sell rouge!"

"I get it, we're both the fun-loving type!"

"No, no, we are all from Suzaku Street!"

......

Almost all the shopkeepers raised their hands to answer, but no one got the answer right.

Until Luo Changsheng spoke.

"Because we are all shops for women's entertainment."

Jewellery

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was silent.

Everyone was enlightened.

Yup!

Whether it is a rouge shop, a ready-made clothing shop, or a jewelry shop, they are all shops where women go!

Xie Ling showed approval in her eyes.

"Yes. I want to build a paradise city for women. Only women can enter, only women can consume, it is built specifically for women."

Except for Luo Changsheng, the other shopkeepers all had puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Women don't often show their faces in public, and they don't have much money, so why should we make it for women?"

"Yeah, wouldn't it be better to make it for men? Men have more financial resources and are more willing to go out."

"Which woman in Sinan County would be willing to go out to such a romantic place every day?"

These shopkeepers did not have any prejudice against men and women, they just stated the facts objectively.

Xie Ling is aware of the current predicament.

But her Ji Le Pavilion was not only built for the women of Sinan County, but for women all over the world.

These shopkeepers lived in a feudal society with gender inequality and had no idea how strong women's spending power was.

But it’s okay, Xie Ling will prove it with facts in the future.

Xie Ling gave a brief explanation, outlining women’s spending power.

These shopkeepers still didn't quite understand, only Luo Changsheng had a slight understanding.

Xie Ling then explained her plan.

"I plan to tear down all the rouge shops, clothing shops, and jewelry shops on the street and rebuild them into a huge loft with a wide street in the middle and all kinds of shops around it. There will also be singing and dancing performances, and women can walk around anywhere... This is the detailed plan I made last night. What do you think? After all, you are professional shopkeepers, and I want to ask for your opinions."

With this sentence in mind, these shopkeepers dared to speak out their true opinions.

Gao Wanhua and Gao Zexun also joined the discussion.

Several people gave Xie Ling a lot of real inspiration and suggestions.

After a passionate discussion for half an hour, the rough outline of the Paradise Building was ready.

Several shopkeepers were very excited; just now they thought it was a bit unrealistic.

But after some discussion, they felt that it was quite promising and might even succeed!

If they really succeed, then their lives will be worth it, to be able to build such an exquisite thing!

Xie Ling asked: "Do you know any good carpenters? I need about fifty of them."

A short shopkeeper volunteered, "My father was born a carpenter and knows a lot of good carpenters. I can introduce them to you."

Xie Ling nodded, "Okay. I'll leave this to you. Schedule the carpentry work first. I want to see the Jile Pavilion completed by the time spring comes."

In ancient times, there were few construction tools and the construction period was long. Building such a large building in half a year was considered fast.

The shopkeeper scratched his head and said, "Okay, but they are just a bunch of rough people who only know how to build, not how to design."

Xie Ling nodded, indicating that she understood.

She was originally not confident in handing the blueprints to the ancient carpenter.

She wanted to design it herself, in the style of a modern shopping mall.

She sighed and thought that if only she could meet a craftsman who knew carpentry, she wouldn't have to work so hard.

At this moment, Luo Changsheng asked the most crucial question.

"Boss, the shop is going to be demolished and rebuilt, so where should our original shop be located?"

"Yes, where is our shop?"

Xie Ling had considered this problem a long time ago.

Pointing to Gao Zexun beside him, he said, "It's okay. I have already thought of a solution. Just ask Master Gao."

Gao Zexun spent the whole night last night organizing and drawing out all the shop specifications for other businesses under Xie Ling's name.

It can be seen from his drawings that many shops are too large and can be rectified. If a certain amount of space is allocated to each shop, it would be enough for Luo Changsheng and his store.

After hearing this, several people felt relieved.

I thought I couldn’t do anything these days!

It was getting late, so Xie Ling took Gao Wanhua away and asked Gao Zexun to discuss the details with the shopkeepers.

She was really too busy and hadn't visited the salt fields yet.

The Feng family and the Si family each had a salt field, both of which were located in suburban farms far away from the county town, covered by many green mountains and connected to the blue sea with roaring waves.

Both salt fields are now under Xie Ling's name.

Xie Ling and Gao Wanhua got on a carriage and went to the Si family's salt field first.

Shi Shaowen arrived at the salt field early and gathered all the salt workers together, waiting for Xie Ling's arrival.

At the salt field, as it was getting close to evening, the setting sun cast dazzling golden light on the blue sea, with floating light and still shadows, it was magnificent and brilliant, and breathtakingly beautiful.

Such a beautiful scene, but no one appreciates it.

The salt workers stood in a row numbly, staring at the ground or at the salt field in the distance, with no expression on their faces.

All of these salt workers were pale and thin, with cracked limbs and a haggard look.

The work of salt refining is very hard and secretive. Once you enter the salt field, you can hardly leave for the rest of your life and will be trapped in this small sea area for the rest of your life.

They are almost all ordinary farmers with no power or influence found by the Si family. No matter which owner they change, it is the same to them.

Anyway, they can only work in this sea area day after day, doing the same work, wasting their lives in numbness and chaos.

The salt workers only hope that their employers will leave quickly and not disturb them from making salt.

A fixed amount of salt had to be delivered every month. In the past, if the targets were not met, the supervisors would either beat or scold them, or even throw them into the sea to feed sharks. The salt workers had a deep fear of the beautiful blue kelp.

With the new club, the punishment should still be there, I just hope it won’t be as severe as before…

A moment later, a simple green carriage appeared in the distance.

Unlike the previous Si family who came with many guards, the new owner only brought a coachman, who walked towards them in the bright golden light of the evening.

The horse was tall and mighty. It snorted and stopped not far from them.

A lively and agile girl in purple jumped out of the carriage and reached out to lift the curtain.

The salt workers looked up and were so shocked to see the elegant and graceful girl in purple that they couldn't even move their eyes.

They had never seen such an iconic figure.

Then, a beautiful and slender woman stepped down from the carriage. She was wearing a plain white gauze dress that ordinary women would wear, and her black hair was tied up with a silver hairpin. But she looked extremely expensive.

I originally thought that the girl in purple was noble enough, but I didn’t expect that the girl in white was even more beautiful and noble, so stunningly beautiful, just like a fairy in the painting!

No, she is more lively than a fairy, more beautiful than a fairy, and more gentle than a fairy!

Because she actually smiled at them!

And they smiled so freely, as if, as if they were her friends...

Some salt workers thought so and lowered their heads quickly, wishing they could spit a few times.

How can he be friends with them when he is a god-like figure? Funny.

Shi Shaowen said loudly to the salt workers: "Your new boss is here."

All the salt workers widened their eyes at the same time.

That beautiful girl with a noble temperament is actually their new employer?

It looks so small and so beautiful. How can a salt field be managed like this?

When Xie Ling was following Jiang Shaoqing before, she came to the Si family salt field.

I only remember that the salt workers here were skinny and their work was very hard.

They work day after day, facing the endless sea, smelling the fishy and salty sea breeze, not having enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, and facing such scenery all their lives.

Xie Ling sighed inwardly and asked, "Have you eaten?"

All the salt workers were stunned.

What does this mean, asking them if they have eaten?

Yes...If you don't want them to eat, just let them work?

Almost everyone thought in this direction.

Because no one believes that the boss would be so kind.

In an instant, all the salt workers changed their expressions and stared at Xie Ling viciously.
