Chapter 21 Protection Fee?
In this way, Tang Qing moved one of the spare benches next to the front desk, leisurely sipping melon seeds, he did not sit in the positions of Zhang Jing and Sister Zhao, so as not to affect their work.
After a while, Sister Zhao, who went to the bathroom, also came back.
Tang Qing looked at the customers in the hall and outside the door, the bear children who were toasting, boxing, and noisily running aroundγγγγγγ That's all money.
"By the way, is there anything to ask for these days? Tang Qing asked casually, usually Zhang Jing rarely called him, unless the weekly report said more, but it was limited to approximate sales and some miscellaneous things in the store, and he didn't call at other times, so he asked.
"There is one thing, that is, the day before yesterday afternoon when there were no guests, there were three men to ask for protection money, threatening not to pay if they came to the door to make trouble, looking quite fierce, thinking that it was to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, Boss Li gave 3,000 yuan, the gangster also said that he would come to collect it every month, Boss Li said that you came to tell you in person this time, I didn't tell you. Zhang Jing said a little nervously, she was very afraid that Tang Qing would think that she was incompetent, and she wouldn't tell him about such a big thing, would she suspect that she had different intentions, Zhang Jing couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart.
"Bastard, protection money?" Tang Qing immediately stood up and said in a deep voice.
After all, the government has cracked down on this kind of behavior that undermines the economic order, and it is generally impossible for the future generations to have a large-scale collection of protection fees under the strong suppression of the government, coupled with the rapid development of the country's economy, there are a lot of profitable businesses, and there is no need to do this kind of anger and resentment that is easy to cause public anger, and finally it is regarded as a political achievement to suppress things.
As for occasionally reading the news that someone was arrested for collecting protection money somewhere, Tang Qing could only send them a word --- stupid, all the bigwigs are transforming and whitewashing, many of them have monopolized the business of a certain local industry, safe and easy, those gangs and factions in the novel cannot exist in China at all, at most there are gangs and gangs of a criminal nature.
If someone else gives up something that they don't want to touch or dare not touch, and you pick it up, isn't this a gift to officials who want to be promoted? How can it end well?
But now in 2004, I don't dare to guarantee that there is no such organization, and I don't know if it's local or a wandering wilderness.
"Have you handed it over to the other stores?" Tang Qing asked again, he had to know the scope of influence of this gang before he could think of countermeasures.
"I don't seem to have heard of it, Uncle Li asked a few families. Zhang Jing replied honestly.
Hearing this, Tang Qing immediately understood that this was a wild way, running around to commit crimes, threatening the bigger hotels to pay the money, thinking about it, if it was collected on a large scale, it would have been suppressed by the police into scum, how could it be so arrogant.
Thinking of this, Tang Qing didn't say anything, wait and discuss it with Li Jianguo, Li Jianguo didn't tell him that Tang Qing didn't blame him, after all, businessmen, more things are better than less, even if he knows that his uncle is a police officer and is the deputy director, but it is also in the south of the city, not in the same jurisdiction, if you call the police here to deal with it, you have to let your uncle come forward, Li Jianguo probably doesn't want to trouble his uncle, or he doesn't dare to threaten those bastards under the banner of his uncle without his consent.
Besides, even if it is threatened, it is not certain whether the other party is afraid or not. Gangsters must be afraid of the police? Even if it is the deputy director of another jurisdiction? Li Jianguo, who has many years of social experience and has seen many strange things, would not casually come to such a brain-dead conclusion.
Tang Qing's first reaction just now was actually to solve this trouble through his uncle, but there is a problem, the land here is not under the control of his uncle, and even the director and uncle here still have a bit of grievances, the reason is that the brother-in-law of the director of the police station here was arrested looking for a young lady, and finally insulted the police who threatened law enforcement on the spot, and the uncle quit on the spot, this is okay, as soon as the temper came up, he slapped it directly, and then did not give the director face at all, and was directly detained for half a monthγ
The whole thing is quite complicated even if it is operated by his uncle, and he doesn't know how many things will cause in the later stage, so he doesn't want to trouble his uncle.
It's just that Li Jianguo swallowed this breath, how could he swallow it, once there were two or three timesγγγγγγ
My money is not so easy to take.
Tang Qing clenched his fists and said secretly.
Immediately, Tang Qing also comforted Zhang Jing and asked her not to think about it, praising her for doing the right thing, after all, it was not a big deal, it was not harming her core interests, and she did not blame her.
"Is there anything else?" Tang Qing asked again.
"There is another thing, that is, a few days ago, the city management, fire protection, and sanitation people came, and Uncle Li also paid a total of 6,000 yuan. Zhang Jing said truthfully, and when she heard that Tang Qing didn't blame her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Qing couldn't help it when he heard it, after all, they were all law enforcement agencies, and he couldn't teach others a lesson as an ordinary person, and he was the first to take care of himself, setting a table at the door would definitely occupy the road, and secondly, the customers were not of good quality, and it was normal to litter.
In the catering industry, if you want to perfectly meet the hygiene requirements, one word, difficult, the other party always has a reason to find faults, you have nothing to say, even if there is no one now, there is a potential problem, who calls the other party has the right to explain, it should be ruined.
It seems that in the future, you have to pay attention to your allies in officialdom, otherwise it will be very dangerous to have a big business in the future without an umbrella or something. As for his uncle's sesame-sized official, he really can't protect himself.
Well, take this as one of the urgent priorities at the moment, although it is difficult, but it is not impossible to operate, Tang Qing secretly decided.
γγγγγγ
Of course, this time the accounts are not calculated in the hall, all of them are concentrated in the large box on the second floor, there are five people in the box at this time, Zhang Jing, Sister Zhao, Li Kai, Tang Qing, Li Jianguo, the employees did not leave after cleaning, sitting in the hall watching TV, all waiting for the half month's salary and bonus, plus either the dormitory or the home is very close, and there is no hurry to go back.
The three old men are blowing the air conditioner, watching TV, eating melon seeds, eating fruits, drinking tea, Zhang Jing and Sister Zhao are busy calculating the accounts, they will classify all the expenses and expenses of the day every day, and calculate a daily general ledger, after all, it also involves checking the money at the cashier, and at the end of the month, you only need to add and subtract the dozens of numbers to calculate the real amount, which is very convenient.
After a while, the two finally finished checking.
"Boss, our total sales in the past half month excluding drinks are 412,000, and the profit after deducting employee salaries, material costs, and accounts payable is 88,500 yuan. Zhang Jing announced this amount with a little trembling, the amount she earned in half a month is equivalent to her salary for several years, but thinking about such a big restaurant and so many people, it is not too exaggerated to earn this money, and even more next month.
Hearing this sales, Tang Qing was very satisfied, this is still the problem of opening remuneration minus 50 and the initial stage, after getting on the right track, the monthly profit will be at least more than 100,000, or even more than 200,000, according to the proportion, it will not take long for him to return to his capital, just don't be too high.
Li Jianguo is also very excited, he finally has money, according to the proportion, he will get about 60,000 yuan, which is about the same as the annual income of the restaurant he opened before, he is so happy, looking at Tang Qing beside him, his eyes are full of gratitude, without Tang Qing, he can only go to the opposite side to buy that house, I don't know what will happen in the end, unlike now, I have earned money really and I can return to my capital in less than a year, not to mention how happy I am.
"Uncle Li, I suggest that the money should not be busy first, and give the store some good things, such as a few vertical air conditioners in the hall, an air conditioner in each box, and a bonus for each employee, and buy a washing machine in each dormitory, and by the way, a car in the store, just buy a van or pickup truck for you to do, just Uncle Li, you can drive, so it is much more convenient to buy things." What does Uncle Lee think? The money will also stay in the store first, and Uncle Li can withdraw some of it if he wants, and we will pay dividends at the end of next month. After the excitement, Tang Qing said slowly.
Tang Qing still wanted to divide the money before, but just now he turned around in the store and had a new idea, and there was no money to consider before, only this largest box has air conditioning, and the boxes are all big vertical fans, which is very unsightly and high-grade. Therefore, I want to have a big change, after all, I don't have anything to use money, and when I am second-level, I want to reward 200,000 yuan, and there is no shortage of these tens of thousands of dollars, when the weather is cold in winter, it is not like the north There is heating, and everyone is much more comfortable when they buy air conditioning.
As for the car, of course, it is considered to be purchased, before Uncle Li rode a three-wheeler to buy vegetables, the wind and rain do not look like a boss at all, considering that there will be many places to use cars in the future, it is not a little convenient to buy a car.
"I agree with this, it's time to change the shotgun. Li Jianguo also agreed, with money, his mentality has also changed, he will be a rich man in the future, what does it look like to ride a small three-wheeler, although there is a car that is only for delivery, but it also has face.
"Then Uncle Li has anything else to buy?" Tang Qing asked again
"No, I just want to talk to you about something, a few bastards came a few days ago to ask for protection money, I didn't want to cause trouble so I gave it, and there were people from urban management, health, and fire protection who came to check on me, and I didn't want to disturb you before. Li Jianguo finally said this, and he did not shy away from his son Li Kai, thinking that his son had grown up, and he should also understand the dark side of society and the helplessness of wanting to make some money.
Although Tang Qing knew it, he didn't interrupt Li Jianguo's words, after all, Li Jianguo asked Zhang Jing not to say anything about this matter, and there was nothing wrong with Zhang Jing doing this without involving the embezzlement of his own assets, he didn't blame her, so he didn't answer, if he answered and said I know that it wouldn't be directly sold to Zhang Jing, of course he wouldn't understand this kind of thing.
"Well, Uncle Li did the right thing, this situation can only be done like that, let's be honest with you, the director of the police station here and my uncle are a bit of a holiday, and it is a little difficult to solve it through him, but I will find a way, a few little gangsters, can't set off a big wave." The next time they come, you can find a way to take a picture, I'll take a look, I'll find someone to check and find out the details. Tang Qing said disdainfully, it's not that he looks down on the gangsters, everyone has their own way of living, it's just that in his previous life, his uncle was still the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, and under the influence of his upright uncle, he was not afraid of this kind of low-level gangster at all.
Seeing Tang Qing's confident appearance, Li Jianguo also breathed a sigh of relief, Tang Qing looked young, but he was old-fashioned, he believed that Tang Qing had a way to solve it, after all, his uncle was also a policeman, although he had a conflict with the director here, but as long as he called the police, it was impossible to ignore it, not to mention that this matter was not too difficult to deal with Tang Qing's tone, that is, there was a way, and he didn't have to worry about the rest.
Tang Qing originally wanted to give them more to constitute the crime of extortion and send them in, but many people in later generations did this, and how many greedy people were played by rich people in this way, and the end can be imagined. Always remember that money is not so easy to hold, it is hot.
But think about it, after all, this amount is not huge, they don't dare to take it if they have more, and the sentence won't be long, and they may be fine when they come out in the end, but the hotel and Li Jianguo are dangerous, and they still have to be solved in a way of deterrence or never suffering in the future.
In Tang Qing's view, one of the ways to never suffer in the future is not to dare, the other is to be afraid, not to dare is to be afraid, and if you can't, you can make the other party disappear forever, the latter can't be used at present, you can only use the former.
