Chapter 681: This Is What I Should Do
Lin Family Chamber.
"If you look at this account, the combined income of the three stores last year was a full 10% less than the year before, and the investment is obviously more, so it stands to reason that there should be more balance, which is unreasonable."
Lin Shuwen is the second oldest in the Lin family, and usually has a lot of say in the family.
The Lin family's son died early, leaving only a daughter and a young son, and it stands to reason that Lin Shuwen, as the second child, can naturally take over all the business of the Lin family.
However, no one expected that when the head of the family was dying, he handed over all the business of the Lin family to Lin Wanru as a woman.
Lin Wanru is the daughter of the Lin family, before she got married, she was also a member of the Lin family, and she has shown a talent for business since she was a child, and she has long been involved in the family business, and everyone is embarrassed to say anything about this arrangement.
Of course, not many people care how many means a girl can have.
These things can be slowly taken back from her hands, and when she gets married, she can't take anything with her.
However, it was only later that they realized that they had underestimated this one niece.
In the past two years, the Lin family's business has become bigger and bigger in her hands, and others have become more and more unable to get involved.
At this time, a young man said loudly: "Second uncle, is this suspicious of the eldest sister? ”
"I didn't say that." Lin Shuwen picked up a booklet, patted it on the table, and said: "No matter what, the account book is here, less is less, I think this matter, Wanru is afraid to give an explanation to all of us." ”
A middle-aged man thought for a moment, stood up and said: "Last year, the jewelry business was generally sluggish, and it was inevitable that profits would decrease. ”
"The second brother is not blaming Wanru, she is in charge of the family's business, we don't have any spectrum in our hearts, and we should ask."
"Yes, we can't always be blind in this own business, this is also for the sake of the Lin family."
……
……
In the council chamber, the crowd was clearly divided into three camps.
One is led by Lin Shuwen, who holds on to the matter of profits, and obviously has nothing to say.
The other party was speaking for Lin Wanru, but there were not many of them.
The neutral ones are still in the majority, the Lin family will not be in charge of them anyway, no matter who the business is handed over, they will have money every year, as long as there is a lot of silver, there is no need to stand in line.
"Don't say it, Wanru is here, let's see what she says." Someone suddenly stood up and said.
All eyes were on the door.
Lin Wanru walked in from the outside, first nodded slightly to everyone, and then looked at Lin Shuwen and asked, "Second Uncle asked me to come over this time, is there anything important?" ”
"There's one thing that's important." Lin Shuwen nodded and said: "Yesterday, I looked through the accounts and found that our Lin family's investment last year was two percent more than the year before, why is the profit less, this is really unreasonable, the Lin family's business has always been taken care of, this matter, as if we have to give all of us an explanation, right?" ”
Lin Wanru looked at him and asked, "In business, there are profits and losses, and it's normal for profits to fluctuate slightly, isn't it?" ”
Lin Shuwen smiled and said: "As Wanyi said, there are profits and losses in business, but last year was obviously a good year for business, and it is impossible for the surplus not to increase but decrease......
"Of course, the second uncle doesn't mean anything else, it's just that the Lin family is the Lin family of all of us, and it needs to be maintained by all of us, and it is a matter of everyone's interests, so we can't be sloppy."
Lin Shuwen had a smile on his face, looking like I was thinking about everyone.
"What does the second uncle mean?" Lin Wanru looked at him and asked.
Lin Shuwen said with a smile: "There are so many people in the Lin family, let you take care of a girl inside and out, we can't help it, such a heavy burden falls on you, it is inevitable that there will be omissions like this, so I think, it is better to divide the other two shops and hand them over to others to manage, so that you will be much easier and more concentrated......
The implication of his words is that Lin Wan is like a woman, and she can't manage such a big Lin family, so there will be a profit loss this time, and it is better to delegate power as soon as possible, so as to ensure everyone's interests.
"I think the second uncle is right."
"Yes, it's time for Wanru to take a good rest."
"I agree."
……
……
After Lin Shuwen finished speaking, many people immediately responded.
Many people in the Lin family have long complained about handing over the family business to a woman, so they will naturally take the opportunity to push it up.
Even some people who have always been neutral have a little wavering in their hearts.
Lin Wanru sighed and said, "It's all a family, why should the second uncle force each other?" ”
When Lin Shuwen heard this, his face changed, and he said: "What do you mean by this, the second uncle is also for the Lin family, for your sake, do you think the second uncle is harming you?" ”
"So, the second uncle really doesn't plan to let us go this time?" Lin Wanru glanced at him again and said.
"You, you are really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs!" Lin Shuwen looked annoyed and said, "I'm all for the Lin family, why don't you understand?" ”
"Since that's the case...... Lin Wanru looked at him and said, "After today, the second uncle won't have to worry about the supply of the store in the north of the city, and I will rearrange someone to take over." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at the other two and said, "Third uncle, fourth uncle, you don't have to go to the shop today, I will arrange a new shopkeeper as soon as possible." ”
Lin Wanru's voice fell, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Many people raised their heads and looked at her in disbelief, at this time, how could she still say such a thing?
Lin Shuwen was stunned, laughed instead of anger, and said: "Wanru, you really think that this Lin family is your Lin family, so domineering, I'm afraid no one will agree......
He looked back at the people in the arena and said, "You have all seen it, look at what she has become in the past two years, when will it be the turn of the Lin family to be a woman?" ”
"Second uncle, don't get excited."
Lin Wanru shook her head, looked at him, and said: "When I came over just now, I asked someone to report to the official by the way, the Bai family, who colluded with the second uncle to supply the goods, took 17,652 taels of silver from the shop in a year, which is already more than 10% of the Lin family's annual profit......
But don't worry about the second uncle, I will take care of the things behind you, my aunt has entered the Lin family, that is, my Lin family, you can go with peace of mind, the family will take care of her, if the aunt wants to remarry, we will also find a good home for her, Xiaofei has grown up, he can take care of himself, and the family will not treat him badly, you don't have to worry about this......"
Lin Wanru said these words calmly, but it set off a storm in everyone's hearts.
"You, you ......" After Lin Shuwen was stunned for a moment, his face changed greatly, he opened his mouth, and was about to speak, Lin Wanru waved his hand and said, "Second uncle doesn't need to thank you, it's all a family, this is what I should do." ”
After speaking, she added, "The people in the yamen should be here soon, second uncle, why don't you go back and prepare?" ”
