Chapter 217: Congregation
I smiled and said to Li Laohu, Deputy Hall Master Li is more than fifty years old this year, and I am only twenty years old, I think even if I carry it a little more, I will always be a few years longer than you, right?
Li Laohu said indifferently, the moon is cloudy and sunny, people have good fortune and misfortune, surnamed Jiang, the capital has not been peaceful recently, you have to be careful when walking at night.
I'm a little angry and say you threaten me?
Li Laohu laughed and said, you really use yourself as a corner, when Lao Tzu was mixed in the Sihetang, you were still in your mother's womb and didn't come out.
I clapped my hands and said: It makes sense, but the deputy hall master, you have been mixed for more than 30 years, and you are just a deputy hall master?
The deputy hall master has always been a scar in Li Laohu's heart, and when he heard my ridicule, he couldn't help but say angrily, you stinky boy, don't think that relying on the Qi hall master to reuse you, you are arrogant in the White Tiger Hall, and you actually came to provoke Lao Tzu to come? Lao Tzu has eaten more salt than you have walked, no, more than you have eaten!
I couldn't help but admire, isn't it salty to eat so much salt?
Li Laohu's face was dark, did I say this?
I continued to ask, are you panicking?
Don't gag!
I spread my hands, didn't I say you, Deputy Hall Master Li, you are old, eat too much salt, you are easy to get high blood pressure, just drink more water if you have nothing to do, it is easy to lose the fire!
Li Laohu was furious, Jiang Xiaobai!
I said don't be angry, studies have shown that high blood pressure patients are easy to induce heart disease when they are angry, and the New Year's Day is a church meeting today, what a festive thing, I don't want to continue to hold a memorial service for you, it's too frustrating, anyway, you really ate so much salt?
Li Laohu was choked by me and couldn't speak, and smashed the table in front of him with a palm, I said that we have four rules and regulations, and we have to compensate for damage to public property. Li Laohu said angrily, you have the ability to take me three punches? Believe it or not, I beat you to death with three punches?
I shook my head again and again, Wu Song beat the tiger, but only three punches. One punch is enough for me, and if I punch more, I'm afraid that the Tiger Conservation Society will sue me for animal cruelty.
That's enough!
I don't know when, Qi Xiaowei appeared in the hall, and the disciples who were watching on the side hurriedly dispersed, pretending to be busy with other things, but their eyes kept glancing here.
The hostile atmosphere between the two was interrupted by Qi Xiaowei's arrival, Li Laohu snorted lightly, but there was murderous intent in his eyes. Qi Xiaowei said, don't you prepare for today's Sihe Hall main hall meeting? Shan Mu, you make this place a little better, and when you come back from the main hall, we will celebrate.
The only three of us in the White Tiger Hall who were qualified to participate in the main hall meeting, and Li Laohu rode there alone. Qi Xiaowei said to me, what's the matter, Xiaobai, do you want to take my sister's car over together?
Today, Qi Xiaowei was dressed extremely charmingly, and her carriage was not spacious, so she said, forget it, I will rent a donkey from Shenzhou.
Qi Xiaowei's face sank, get in the car!
The carriage had already been prepared, I jumped on the car, the aroma in the carriage was fragrant, I hurriedly sat down, Qi Xiaowei came up to see me so restrained, and sneered, what, afraid that my sister will eat you? I waved my hand and said, Recently, the meat is a little sour. And my sister is wearing such a beautiful dress today, I'm afraid of soiling your car.
Qi Xiaowei heard me praise her, and her mood became happy, and she said that you did a good job of scolding Li Laohu today. But it's all a family, and we have to pay attention to unity.
I nodded continuously, the hall master taught me a great lesson!
Of course I understand what she means, Li Laohu has coveted the position of hall master for a long time, and Qi Xiaowei, as the hall master, will not do anything to dismantle the stage for the sake of the overall situation, but I am different. First, I am a newcomer and do not pose a threat to her, and secondly, I am a member of the White Tiger Hall team, and she is happy to see that we are not compatible.
Qi Xiaowei said, you stole the limelight as soon as you came, and it is understandable that Li Laohu is dissatisfied with you. He is a small-minded person, and he will be retribution, and there is more than enough success and failure, he has a close relationship with the master of the Qinglong Hall, you have to be careful recently.
I said in my heart that with his slight martial arts, I might not have been able to beat him a year ago, but now it is enough to beat him with one hand, but I said in my mouth, thank you for your concern.
Qi Xiaowei feigned anger and said, call sister!
I even changed my words, and Sister Xie cared.
The two chatted along the way, and she also said that if my enemy came to the door, don't fight hard, she will settle it. Qi Xiaowei has a posture and means, I don't know if her trick will work for others, but I still prefer this set.
The main hall will be located in the Mingyue Building, which is also an industry under the Sihe Hall. In previous years, the main hall would be located in the main helm of the Sihe Hall, but not long ago, the main hall was destroyed by a sword of Feng Wanli, and now it is still under repair.
The bright moon building is lit up with lights, and the atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere. There is a banner with yellow characters on a red background in the hall: Sihetang Jingyuan 22nd Year General Meeting.
After all, the Sihetang is the largest gang in the capital, and the main hall must not be too shabby, and when we arrived, there were many cadres at the level of the inner four halls, the outer eight halls, and the deacons and above of the main hall.
Everyone is bowing to each other in the early years, and at the end of the year, the Sihetang, which has been busy for a year, also needs such an opportunity to relax. At the same time, some of the congregations also began to take this opportunity to exchange feelings with other congregational people, this one said to drink a few bowls with you for a while, and the other said to find a girl to prosper after the end, andetc.
Due to the short time I came, except for a few hall masters, I didn't know the rest of the people, so I found my seat and sat down, looking at Mingyue Tower. There is an iron throne in the center of the hall, it is said that when Zhao Jiuye fought the world in the capital, he won three hundred battles, left the opponent's blade, and finally cast this iron throne. This Iron Throne is only laid out once a year.
There was a tiger skin on the Iron Throne, and I looked at Li Laohu, who was sitting next to me, and said, "Do you see if that tiger skin belongs to your brother?" Li Laohu snorted coldly and did not make a sound. With a chime, everyone in the audience suddenly fell silent, everyone stared at the side door, and with the support of Ping Si, the master of the Vermilion Bird Hall, Zhao Jiuye walked out.
Everyone hurriedly bowed down and saw the main hall master!
After being injured by Feng Wanli, Zhao Jiuye recovered well, and his complexion was much better than last time. He enjoyed the crowd's prostration, slowly walked to the Iron Throne, and sat down before commanding them to get up.
The 22nd year of the Jingyuan General Meeting, the first big gang in Beijing, officially began.
Zhao Jiuye said that in the twenty-second year of Jingyuan, with the concerted efforts of all the hall masters, except for some decline in individual businesses, most of the branches have achieved remarkable results, and various business indicators have made great progress compared with last year, both year-on-year and month-on-month, which is inseparable from the hard work of all the hall masters here.
Zhao Jiuye's voice was full of applause. He asked, what did our Sihetang rely on from scratch, from a small street gang to the largest gang in the capital?
The main road of the Song Hall of the Qinglong Hall depends on the wise leadership of the Ninth Master!
Everyone said yes. Zhao Jiuye laughed and said, of course, this is part of it, but more important is talent and innovation! The theme of this year's conference is "Talent and innovation are the fundamental source of the development of Sihetang".
Zhao Jiuye emphasized that talent is the fundamental lifeblood of the development of Sihetang. Whether Sihetang is doing well or not depends on talents. It is necessary to select capable talents, go to mediocre talents, appoint talented people, and raise talents, and only by doing these four points can we make a fortune. Talents must rely on excavating and cultivating internal talents, and secondly, they must introduce external talents with high salaries, and collide with internal hall rules and external ideas in order to produce sparks of wisdom.
Zhao Jiuye pointed out that innovation is the core competitiveness of Sihetang. Whether it is the Qinglou, the casino, the handicap, the bodyguard inner four halls, or the outer eight halls, we must maintain a sense of hunger and thirst, and we must integrate the spirit of innovation into the blood. Only in this way can we stand out from the fierce competition. For example, casinos should bring forth the new, innovate products, and learn from the successful experience of Tiger Stick Chicken, Blackjack, Quick Calculation 24, etc., so as to make Sihetang more competitive.
Finally, Zhao Jiuye also emphasized risk prevention, legal and compliant operation, and tax payment in accordance with the law.
This cliché, whether it is in the six doors or the four courtyards, is so much the same that I am drowsy to hear it. I also didn't understand that these officials, bosses, like to have meetings on weekdays, but the real big things are never solved at the meeting.
Zhao Jiuye's speech ended, and the applause lasted for a long time.
Zhao Jiuye said, let's talk about your views.
The hall owners have expressed their positions. The main Dao of the Qinglong Hall said, Ninth Master, what you said is too right. Whether Qinglongtang develops well or not depends on talents. I have a deep understanding of this, the carriage runs fast, it all depends on the headband, such as our Qinglong Hall team, the whole hall is big and small, I worry about it alone, even if I am a king, I can't bring four bronzes.
Someone in the audience whispered, shameless. The speaker is a deputy hall master of the Qinglong Hall.
Our Qinglongtang is responsible for the Qinglou business, and the overall business has declined this year, which I review, mainly because several of our top brands have been poached by heaven and earth, those guys who eat inside and outside, our Qinglongtang has fed them for so long, but the result is greedy for some small profits, which is really chilling.
Zhao Jiuye asked unhurriedly, Master Song, don't make excuses, find a way!
Qinglong Hall Master has a way, and that is to innovate! Qinglou is an industry with strong personnel mobility, and the focus of our work this year is to launch new products. Nowadays, the taste of customers is becoming more and more picky, what Oiran contests, beauty pageants, are outdated, in the next year, we are ready to turn a group of women from Persia, Tibet, Goryeo, Congo and other countries to enrich our service team.
Zhao Jiuye frowned and said, forget about Goryeo and Congo. There are too many fakes in Goryeo, and when the lights are turned off at night in Congo, nothing can be seen.
Then the others expressed their positions, nothing more than listening to the words of the ninth master, and the ten Oriental girls and other sycophants, but the dark hall in charge of the smuggling business did not speak, in the twenty-second year of Jingyuan, the business of the dark hall fell sharply, which made Zhao Jiuye very dissatisfied, he asked, Master Qin, you can also say a few words.
The master of the Qin Hall of the Dark Hall looked as thin as a monkey, and he said that the business of the Dark Hall has been severely hit this year, and there are three main reasons, one is that the imperial court has recently strengthened the crackdown, and several batches of gems and furs smuggled in from the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Xiliang have been seized by the imperial court, which has caused us heavy losses; The influx of Nanyang gadgets into the capital has had a serious impact on our products, and the third point, in the second half of the year, the Netherworld Sect has also begun to meddle in the smuggling business, this point, it's not that I'm complaining, the ninth master should take care of it.
When it comes to the Nether Sect, I suddenly come to my senses.
