Chapter 921: I see
Although the Four Seas Gambling House opened to Luoyang City, Li Mu almost didn't ask. Therefore, the operation of the Four Seas Gambling House is the idea of Ergou, and it has become what it is now, although the profit is good, but Ergou is apprehensive in his heart, he doesn't know if what he does can be recognized by Li Mu.
In fact, seeing the four halls of spring, summer, autumn and winter, Li Mu knew that there were many differences between the Four Seas Gambling House in Luoyang and the Four Seas Gambling House in Chang'an City. In addition to the original business scope of the Four Seas Gambling House, Ergou added catering to create a model similar to heaven and earth. Now the people who come to the Four Seas Gambling House are not only gamblers, but also rioters. Poetry is right, literature will make friends, and everything can be satisfied here.
Ergou brought the account book to Li Mu to see, according to the records on the account book, since the opening of last winter, more than four months have passed, and the income of the Four Seas Gambling House has reached 173,000 yuan, of which the catering part has reached 63,000 yuan. It can be seen that this catering department is by no means a decoration, and this revenue can also rank among the top five in all the catering industry in Luoyang.
After deducting the cost of 27,000 guan, the total profit for the four months reached 146,000 guan.
Li Tai's eyes were about to pop out, he knew that the gambling house made money, but he didn't expect the gambling house to be so violent, or how many people would say that the gambling house is a gold hole, which is more profitable than opening a gold mine!
Li Mu didn't expect that the Four Seas Gambling House in Luoyang City was so large, this number had already surpassed the Four Seas Gambling House in Chang'an City, it looked a little incredible, but if you think about it, there is nothing incredible. After all, Chang'an City is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, whether it is the nobles or the gate valves, they dare not be too public. Luoyang is different, the most people who live here are the rich, Li Mu encourages business, and the places and means of spending money are endless. As the exclusive monopoly of the gambling industry, the Four Seas Gambling Room, as long as you want to spend money like this, you will come here. It is reasonable to have more revenue.
"Master Hou, all the cash is in the cellar, guarded layer by layer. In the past few days, I have been planning to consult Master Hou to see if it will be transported to Chang'an and stored in the bank, or it will be used for other purposes-" Ergou said a little embarrassed; "The cellar can't be put on hold, I'm afraid of some accidents."
"There is no need to be so troublesome to transport back to Chang'an, in a few days, there will be a bank in Luoyang City." Li Mu spoke, glanced at the account book in his hand, and said: "Ergou, I looked at the account book, there is a question, why is there no bonus for the guys?" ”
"Bonus?" Ergou was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Master Hou, what is a bonus?" ”
"When things are done well, there is a bonus. You have run the Four Seas Gambling House so prosperously, and you should give some bonuses, otherwise people will think that Ben Hou is stingy. ”
Ergou hurriedly said; "Master Hou, you are generous enough. Who doesn't know that Hou Ye is notoriously good at treating his subordinates? Our guys from the Four Seas Gambling Room, with more than double the monthly case of other stores, give back bonuses? Isn't that a bad deal? No need, Master Hou, the people under his hands are all grateful to Master Hou, and everyone has this shameless delusion......"
"I still want it." Li Mu waved his hand to interrupt Ergou's words, and said: "From now on, a rule will be set, but all the transactions under Benhou, the main operator, enjoy half of the net profit as a bonus." All the rest of the staff, including the back kitchen, male and female waiters, grooms, security guards, resident music classes, operas, female histories, etc., as long as they are resident and hired, can add up to share half of the net profit. This is the rule, and it will be done in the future. ”
"This ......" Ergou estimated in his heart, and the total net profit in the previous four months was 147,000. What is a half? Seven thousand three hundred and fifty! He can get a bonus of 7,350 yuan in four months alone, so it is a small income of 30,000 yuan a year!
Although he is used to seeing money every day, Ergou acquiesces in his heart that it is Li Mu's, and it has nothing to do with him. He is a person under Li Mu's hands, he eats, drinks and wears Li Mu's, and he never thinks about taking money, his 'salary', in fact, is only a few dozen times a month, he has hardly used it except for his relatives, and suddenly there is so much money, he is a little confused all of a sudden, where can this be spent!
For the other workers, the oil and water are also very large. Although they share the rest of the half, it doesn't seem like much, but there aren't many people in the entire Four Seas Gambling House. On average, a person can get four or five more dollars per month, which is the same as their salary.
The income of ten yuan a month has been exhausted and tired elsewhere for three or four months. What's more, it's decent to work at Four Seas Casino! You don't have to face the loess with your back to the sky, this kind of work is simply a pie falling from the sky!
Ergou burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "Master Hou, you really don't need to ......"
"Ben Hou's words, do you dare not listen to them?" Li Mu threw the account book back to Ergou, and raised his leg with a kick. The familiar feeling brought Ergou back to reality, and he remembered who he was talking to, and hurriedly picked up the account book and answered.
Li Mu would not have thought that a move on a whim would create another legend. When later generations analyzed Li Mu's life, many people couldn't understand why the workers under his command worked for him as if they were working for him.
Only a few smart people can understand this mystery.
Actually, it's not hard to think about it. First of all, the welfare treatment given by Li Mu is very good, if the workers do not work hard with vigor and spirit, they will face being driven away and driven away, where to find such a high-income job?
Secondly, if they are not meticulous in their work, where something goes wrong and causes their profits to decline, their bonuses will also be greatly reduced......
In the end, it's a simple calculation, if everyone tries to do as much as possible, they can hire fewer people to share their bonuses.
A simple incentive policy completely activates the workers' sense of ownership.
Forcing you to do anything is of course not the same as what you want to do.
But it's such a simple truth, and it's very difficult for ordinary people to learn. After all, most people do business to make money, and Li Mu does not necessarily have to make money when he does business, although he has never lost money.
……
At night, it was the time when the business of the Four Seas Gambling House was good. It didn't take long for the second floor to be full, and all the private rooms were full of guests. Seeing that there were people in the 'Supreme Private Room' today, they all cast curious eyes, but they didn't need to guess, they also knew who the people in it were. Ergou has long said that no one else will be accepted in the Supreme Private Room except for Hou Ye.
The second dog went down to arrange, and Li Mu finally had time to look at the furnishings in the house.
I saw that in the private room, the bead curtains show the forehead, the furnishings are antique calligraphy and paintings, and the furniture is made of pear, which looks elegant, expensive but not flashy, and there is no nouveau riche temperament. At least a literati like Li Tai likes it very much.
A prostitute quietly came in and burned a furnace of ambergris incense, and played a soothing piano song in the corner, Li Mu wanted to drive people away, but seeing that Li Tai liked it, he didn't say anything and let it go.
Through the window, condescendingly looking at the lake outside the building, the long street with strings of lanterns, the kind of enjoyment overlooking the world, people have not yet eaten, they have already felt extremely honored.
This is what only those in high positions can enjoy. I can't tell you what it feels like, but it's very pleasant.
"Big brother is really good at business." Li Tai sipped the fragrant tea and praised it: "There is no second place in the entire Luoyang City that can make people feel this way." Even if it's all here, in another private room, you won't feel this way. ”
"Hehe, I'm going to say it's not my idea, do you believe it?" Li Mu smiled helplessly and said to Li Tai: "It's all arranged by Ergou himself, I didn't expect him to recognize a few splashes in big characters, and he still has a little talent in this regard." ”
"Hey, big brother's words are bad, the current shopkeeper Zhao is not Wuxia Ameng." Li Tai waved his hand and said with a smile: "As early as a few years ago, when I came here, I heard him chanting poems against others, and the words were neat and neat, which was quite charming. ”
"Haha, huh?" Li Mu didn't believe it, but Li Tai didn't have a reason to deceive, besides, he has always been extremely picky about poetry, and he can say that there is a charm, so it can be seen that Ergou is still okay.
While the two were talking, a delicate waitress brought up 32 kinds of cold dishes with eight meats, eight vegetables, eight dried and eight fresh.
Li Tai has also eaten and seen it, looking at those tableware, jade bowls, gold plates, silver plates, ivory chopsticks, fools know that this table of tableware is worth two or three hundred yuan.
He picked up the colorful wine glass, looked at the lifelike hibiscus flowers on it, and couldn't help laughing: "The fragrance and the rain, the good color is clear smoke." It is no wonder that the literati gathered here and spent the most expensive price in Luoyang, but they said that it was worth the money, which turned out to be reasonable. ”
"Hehe, it's not like the two of you are here, you must get the best hospitality." The second dog came back at some point, and explained flatteringly.
After a while, the hot dish came up, and sure enough, it was amazing, and Li Tai almost didn't bite his tongue when he ate it.
He was full of praise while feasting: "Why is the same dish so delicious here than elsewhere?" ”
"That's it." Li Mu said lightly, but he recognized it in his heart. Ergou has really worked the operation of the Four Seas Gambling House.
When he couldn't eat enough, Li Taicai rubbed his belly and smiled bitterly: "I ate too much and ate too much, if I can't eat it in the future, what can I do?" ”
When Li Mu heard this, he smiled and said, "If you like to eat, you can come often, this private room will be given to you." Li Mu said to Ergou: "I have received your filial piety to me." But I can't come to this place a few times, and it's a waste for such a large private room to be empty, so I will use it for King Wei in the future. ”
Ergou hurriedly responded, although his purpose was to slap Li Mu's ass, but since Li Mu said so, the purpose was achieved, and it didn't matter who used it.
"Oh, and this good thing?" Li Tai was quite moved, but then shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't bother, I don't know if I can eat it again." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Li Mu frowned slightly and said, "Are you leaving Luoyang?" ”
"This ......" Li Tai thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's not to leave, it's just to travel far away." Li Tai looked serious and said, "Big brother, do you know about the secret treasure of the former Sui?" ”
Li Muxin said, not only do I know that the news that your father knows is still made up by Lao Tzu. But the surface was silent, and said: "I heard a little, what's wrong?" ”
"During the Chinese New Year, my father mentioned this to me. He said in-" Li Tai was just about to say it, but suddenly realized that Ergou was also beside him, and cast an apologetic look, of course Ergou was sensible, so he hurriedly found an excuse and turned around and went out.
Li Tai said: "Father said that when Li Mu heard this, he smiled and said: "If you like to eat, you can come often, this private room will be given to you." Li Mu said to Ergou: "I have received your filial piety to me." But I can't come to this place a few times, and it's a waste for such a large private room to be empty, so I will use it for King Wei in the future. ”
Ergou hurriedly responded, although his purpose was to slap Li Mu's ass, but since Li Mu said so, the purpose was achieved, and it didn't matter who used it.

"This ......" Li Tai thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's not to leave, it's just to travel far away." Li Tai looked serious and said, "Big brother, do you know about the secret treasure of the former Sui?" ”

Li Tai then said: "Father said that he is here."
When Li Mu heard this, he smiled and said, "If you like to eat, you can come often, this private room will be given to you." Li Mu said to Ergou: "I have received your filial piety to me." But I can't come to this place a few times, and it's a waste for such a large private room to be empty, so I will use it for King Wei in the future. ”
