"Just you, Chi Xiang, don't slap your swollen face and become fat, to be honest, did you gamble all this money?" Regarding Chi Xiang's proposal, Teacher Tong raised his own questions.

Perhaps because the classroom dormitory building and the student dormitory building are not in the same direction, Teacher Tong did not know about Chi Xiang's sale of toys. Although he set off a toy craze before, he didn't know that this thing was from Chi Xiang's hand.

"Teacher, don't slander me! I earned all this money by my own efforts! Those paper toys were sold for hundreds of taels a while ago, and of course I can afford these fifty taels! If my next business goes well, let alone fifty taels, even if I invest in the academy for one hundred taels, I can afford two hundred taels!"

If Chi Xiang invested two hundred taels in the academy every month, it would be regarded as a major shareholder of the academy, after all, the academy now invests only five hundred taels per month.

The dean was also very moved by this news, but if mahjong really harmed people, then he would definitely not be able to promote unhealthy trends!"I'll wait until I'm done investigating!"

The next day, Chi Xiang also took all twelve sets of mahjong to the house rented by Wu Zhen before, on the pretext that "the college would gather people to play mahjong inside the campus". The rental house is five taels of silver a month, in fact, as long as you rent mahjong five times, you will pay, which means that the rest is all pure income.

Many poor students finally just liked this new intellectual game, but they had nowhere to play cards, and they were very helpless. Although they knew that Chi Xiang had built a mahjong house, renting a table of mahjong would cost one or two taels of silver a day! Two hundred and fifty copper coins per person, and they were reluctant to spend it.

Therefore, the mahjong house is basically rich in pocket money, and of course, the dean also brings the school teachers to investigate every day. On average, about eight tables can be rented out every day. A week later, Chi Xiang and the others made a net profit of fifty taels.

Not enough, Chi Xiang and the four of them often took turns watching the field, and they felt that they were still quite tired, so they simply targeted those poor students who couldn't afford to rent mahjong.

Set aside a separate table for the staff so that the person watching the scene for them will not be too boring. As soon as those students heard that working here in Chi Xiang not only paid a lot of money, but also had a good time, they also took up their names, including poor students, and some students who were like incandesmine, holding on to earn extra money, but with some money.

So I found four more students among these people, and they were all in four classes, and they didn't usually have to go to class, so they could watch the scene at any time. For them, they can get a salary of five taels every month, and they can buy a body refining pill as long as they work for ten months, so it is still very promising to reach the blood coagulation realm before graduation.

And Chi Xiang and Yu Chun finally relaxed, and the affairs of the field were handed over to Incandescent and Wu Zhen. One of them is in charge of accounting, and the other is in charge of security. You can get paid ten taels a month.

And the dean finally announced that the game of mahjong was not harmful in itself, so he acquiesced to the spread of this game in the academy.

As more and more people will meet, the chess and card room is full every day, so Chi Xiang asked Wu Zhen to rent another room and open a branch. The students who were brushed off before and failed to apply for the job were arranged to work in the branch.

In this way, after deducting rent and employee expenses, it is still possible to earn 500 taels of silver a month. In addition, the main thing now is the patent issue, after all, the production of this mahjong is not difficult, and it is easy for others to imitate it.

Although there are no now, when mahjong becomes popular in the town, there will definitely be more mahjong houses. After all, this thing is really profitable! The production of a set of mahjong is enough to cost a set of five taels with good materials, and the rest is only rent and labor costs.

But in this era of no patents, how can you keep it for yourself? This is indeed a difficult problem.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chi Xiang finally decided that it was better to find the dean, so Chi Xiang ran to the dean's office as soon as possible. "Dean Shi, are you there?"

"Come in. Dean Shi saw that it was Chi Xiang who pushed the door, this guy is the master of the Three Treasures Hall who has nothing to do, so he is probably coming to talk about some business, right?" "It's you kid, say, what's the matter with me?"

"Hehe, Dean, I just want to ask you, can this mahjong be considered my private property? It's the kind that no one else can make except me. ”

When the dean heard this, he smiled, this kid thought it was quite beautiful, if he could monopolize it, there would not be so many businessmen. The dean shook his head and replied, "Don't even think about it unless the mayor gives the order to die." But why does the mayor of the town want to defend you alone?

Besides, even if the mayor of the town speaks, there is the lord of the city above the mayor, and the auxiliary minister above the lord of the city, and his majesty the king above the minister, if there is one of them who opposes it, you will not be able to achieve it at all. I'm afraid your mahjong house isn't enough for those dignitaries, right?"

For this answer, Chi Xiang was very uncomfortable. But that's the case, since everyone can only share this cake together, it is better to get it in the form of a shareholding system.

Just like setting up a company, everyone is allowed to invest together, so that everyone can taste the sweetness, hold together, and become a large group of interests. Only in this way can you make your mahjong house go further.

But the most important thing now is to do publicity! Let more people know mahjong, and let more businessmen realize the profits of mahjong houses.

"Then Dean, can you ask the mayor to give me the most conspicuous place and hold an event for me?"

"Of course, but what's in it for me?"

"After the matter is completed, my investment in the academy will be increased to three hundred taels from next month!"

"Deal!" The dean immediately got up and went to ask the mayor for the venue for the three hundred investments.

And Chi Xiang will not be idle, since he is preparing to expand, if he does not give other people in the town a chance, he will definitely occupy the entire market in the town! Quickly gather all the employees of the mahjong house together and prepare for a meeting.

This time they will have a big move, and they are going to expand the two mahjong houses to twenty at once, spread all over the town, although it is easy to cause a short-term loss, but it is also a necessary investment.

Then the salary of employees was naturally adjusted, and ordinary employees were adjusted to two taels of silver a month, and the management was still eleven taels a month.

The students who were ordinary employees before were also promoted to store managers of the branches, and the ordinary employees are ready to recruit new ones. Therefore, these students who worked under Chi Xiang did not object to reducing the salaries of ordinary employees, after all, it had nothing to do with them.

As for Bai Zhi and Wu Zhen, they have become the managers and deputy managers of all mahjong houses, which are equivalent to the status of general manager and vice president. Twenty taels per month, responsible for managing and coordinating all stores. As for Chi Xiang, he plans to be the shopkeeper, at most he is just making some important decisions when necessary, and he doesn't do anything heartbreaking.
