Chapter Twenty-Three: Trouble Comes to the Door
On the night of the new opening, Rao is guys had already prepared, but they were still tired and paralyzed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zihei and Jian Jia happily counted the money, and opened more than 100 tables today, spending more than 100 yuan per table, and more than 10,000 copper coins were piled up into a hill, and the two of them couldn't keep their mouths together. Zhou Bian smiled, this was expected. Previously, Zihei and others were worried that Zhou Bian's price was too high, but they didn't think it was just right.
A few days have passed, and the business of the natural residence is as hot as the first day, Zihei and the others have to temporarily give away additional men, and hurriedly allocate a large amount of money to buy sake and all kinds of ingredients. And because of the fear of leaking the method of winemaking, the supervisor deliberately returned to Cheng Zhou, selected a group of capable people from the slavery under the royal family to bring, and worked overtime to make wine, Rao is so, the inventory is also quickly finished, and only a limited supply has to be supplied every day, although the guests are dissatisfied, but fortunately, they finally gain understanding. Zhou Bian naturally couldn't be idle, and he gave guidance everywhere, and the implementation of the law of enterprise management in later generations also improved the efficiency a lot.
Ten days later, when the account was set up, even Zhou Bian was stunned, excluding the expenses of the business for a month and the costs of various early inputs, and then removing the additional funds in the later stage and the daily expenditure of raw materials, he actually made a net profit of 20,000 yuan, such a huge amount of money, which the royal family has not seen for many years.
Just when everyone was jubilant, Zhou Bian knew that the so-called tree was a big move, so he secretly raised his vigilance in his heart, and ordered the guards to take out a few people every day to go around the inside and outside of the store, and also go to the street from time to time to listen to the wind and see if there was any reaction from other hotels. Fortunately, now that Zhou Mi is becoming more and more mature as the captain of the guard, these things are arranged very well, and Zhou Bian does not need to worry about it.
Zhou Bian thought that he would be the first to be hit by competitors, but unexpectedly, it was a few gangsters who came first. On this day, when he was discussing the future development of the hotel with Jian Jia and others in the courtyard, he heard a commotion in the front yard. There are also many people who are greedy for cups in this ancient world, and since they have been on spirits, they have often heard that someone is drunk and making trouble, so this time, Zhou Bian doesn't care. Zihei smiled, apologized and went to the front yard. These things are naturally best handled by the shopkeeper.
Zhou Bian thought that it was time to concentrate human and financial resources and develop the industry at full speed, first of all, stir-frying, stir-frying is not difficult, sooner or later it will be imitated by others, we should focus on the cultivation of chefs, and then make more fuss about the ingredients, such as more raw material processing, as well as the production of pots, and strive to monopolize the industry of pots and ingredients in the future. Then there is the wine-making industry, even in modern times more than 2,000 years later, the wine-making industry is still very profitable, so Zhou Bian requires that we must do a good job of technical secrecy, and select generations of loyal people from the royal servitude to employ workers, and also to take down some traditional wineries as soon as possible, only making sake, which can be used by ordinary people, and if the tavern business is not good in the future, it will simply monopolize wine. Jian Jia naturally nodded in agreement, the current situation seems to be, who else is dissatisfied with the king, but Jian Jia still couldn't help but remind Zhou Bian that he should appropriately allocate some money to improve the life of the royal family, nothing else, mainly the Queen Mother. Zhou Bian couldn't help but blush slightly when he heard this, he was busy for more than a month and forgot to greet his mother, it seems that he has to go back in two days to take a look, and he has to pay attention to how the paddy field transformation that was ordered at the beginning of the year is going, and it is time to sow rice seeds soon.
Just as he was talking happily, he was abruptly interrupted by a young man who broke in, but it was Zhou Tong, the guard who was ordered to guard the door of the natural residence today, "Wang, no, someone is making trouble in the hotel." "Zhou Tongfang is only fifteen or sixteen years old this year, and it is the time to grow taller, and the food has improved significantly in the past few months, and at this time, his brother Zhou Zhan is taller.
As soon as Zhou Bian heard a secret scream in his heart, he got up and walked out, and the prison guard hurriedly followed, but unexpectedly, Zhou Bian seemed to think of something and stopped suddenly, and almost hit the king. But he heard Zhou Bian instruct, "Go and tell Zhou Mi quickly, gather all the people to guard the middle courtyard and wait for the order." After saying that, he hurriedly walked out, and Fan Yu at the door quickly followed.
When I hurried to the front yard, I could no longer hear the noise. The guests at the banquet were still the same, some raised their glasses and sang, and some lowered their heads to drink alone, and only after sweeping their eyes one by one did they find out where the troublemakers were. I saw seven or eight young men dressed loosely, with their hair tied high and dragged down like a ponytail, standing together, either crossing their hands on their chests or on the shoulders of their companions, and the last two even held a stick in their hands.
These people faintly formed a semicircle, and it was naturally dark in front of everyone, and there were also a few guys standing behind him, Zhou Bian approached gently, and the young men saw that it was a child and a teenager, and after a glance, they withdrew their gaze. I just listened to the black man repeatedly, "A few sons, haven't I already paid the filial piety in my hotel this month, and what are the sons who are not satisfied?" ”
The leader of the other party shook his hair, raised his chin and pretended to be fierce and hummed, "I only received 200 yuan from you earlier, but now your family's business is so good, these 200 yuan seems to be a little less, if you know each other, give more, don't think that my brothers are easy to bully." ”
"A few sons, this store has just reopened, and you have to increase your filial piety, isn't it a bit unreasonable?" Zihei is still accompanied by a smiling face.
"Hmph, my son has been observing you for several days, and after making a lot of money, he doesn't take the initiative to think about honoring your son-in-law, don't you really want to mess up with this Luoyang?" It was still the little leader, and suddenly the rest of the people also shouted.
Hearing this, Zhou Bian didn't understand what was going on, it turned out that it was really the underworld that came to collect protection money, and he moved his body, and was about to step forward, but his arm was grabbed by someone, and when he looked back, he saw that it was the prison guard who rushed over. Jian Jia shook his head slightly, and after glancing at Fan Yu, the two pulled Zhou Bian into the courtyard.
Seeing that he left the front yard, Zhou Bian shook his hand hard, broke free from the two, and was a little angry, "Why did you pull me here?" Do you see those people demanding money? ”
Jian Jia hurriedly knelt down and said, "It's not that the old slave is rude, but the identity of the son is abnormal. ”
Zhou Bian suddenly felt that he was also thinking about it, and hurriedly helped up the prison guard and said that he knew his mistake. After thinking about it again, he still didn't feel like it in his heart, so he asked, "Then it should be no problem for Zhou Mi and them to lead people to come to the door to teach a lesson, right?" ”
"Zhou Mi is a close person around Gongzi, and it is still inappropriate to come forward. You can just ask the rest of the guards to go. ”
"That's fine." After that, Zhou Bian summoned Zhou Mi and others, and selected ten guards with ordinary appearances, so that Zhang Hu took the lead, just because this tiger looked fierce, so he chose a tiger character when he named it at that time, and sent it out to scare the gangsters at this time. He also ordered Liu Qiu to take the first step, quietly following behind those little gangsters, and came back to report after finding out where they lived and how many people there were.
Not long after Liu Qiu ordered him to leave, he saw Zihei coming into the house. "Don't worry, Childe has already sent them away."
"How much, who are they?"
"Hui Gongzi, this time it's easy to talk about it, and I sent a thousand dollars. Childe doesn't have to care too much about them, they are all scoundrels, don't dare to bully those big businessmen, so they have to find us Luoyang locals to open a hotel or something, ask for some money to live, if you don't give it, you will call friends to come to the door, that is, you don't make a fuss and make the business can't be done, where do ordinary merchants provoke, you have to pay some filial piety money. Fortunately, they also know the importance of it, and they won't ask for more at once, and the few people who came this time are from our area, and they also saw that my natural home business was booming, so they came to ask for more. ”
That's also a thousand dollars, equivalent to the profit of the past month, how can Zhou Bian swallow this breath. "Zihei, the rules in Luoyang City, can weapons be forbidden?"
Zihei was slightly stunned, "Luoyang is the land of the Duke of Zhou, but I can't help fighting, as long as I don't die." ”
"Zhang Hu!" Zhou Bian immediately turned around and shouted.
"Here." Answer: This is also the rule of the army set by Zhou Bian.
"Ben Gongzi ordered you to lead these ten people to meet them, and beat Ben Gongzi so hard that they didn't dare to come again, can you have confidence?"
"Childe, don't worry, these people in the market, even if they are ten times as many as us, they are still not afraid."
Zhou Bian smiled, he was worthy of being the first person he picked, and he had seen bloody killings when chasing Gongyi soldiers, and he was bloody.
Then there was a good wait, an hour later to follow Liu Qiu came back, it turned out that these eight people lived in a dilapidated house in the southeast of the city, Liu Qiu saw from a distance that there were a few people in the courtyard to come out to greet them, and there were more than a dozen people in total. Zhou Bian was immediately relieved, thinking that there would be no dozens of people in this little gangster, so he called Zhang Hu, and after some advice, Zhang Hu led the people to leave.
Unexpectedly, this time it was longer, and it was not until it was dark that Zhang Hu and the others returned. Confused, I only heard Zhang Hu laugh and said,
"Childe, these people are also poor, more than a dozen people are crowded in a broken house, today knocked a sum of money from Childe, and drank at night, causing us to wait for a few hours to wait, one by one drunk and crooked, let us have a good fight, but they are not convinced, saying that they are not good men when they are drunk, and they will decide tomorrow after they wake up, and the small one has no time to repay Childe, remembering that Childe said that they must be convinced, so he agreed to meet in the open space south of the city tomorrow. Don't blame the son. ”
