Chapter 16: Brothers Here

Let's say that Yan Hong left the dining room and returned to his study, and Yan An, who had already accompanied the family, was waiting for the young master to change clothes and wash his face. After finishing the grooming, the housekeeper Yan Er sent someone to tell him, saying that the old lady had returned from the cabinet Xiyuan Patrol, and entered the front door, and the eldest young master quickly went to the hall to see.

Yan Hong didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly took three steps and two steps over.

Outside the hall, I saw that the second brother Yan Hu and the third brother Yan Shaoqing also happened to come. Yan Da coughed, and the three young masters of the Yan family entered the hall and met Yan Song and Yan Shifan, who had returned from the cabinet.

When Yan Hong peeked at it, the cheap grandfather sitting in the middle, and the cheap father sitting on the side, this was the father and son, and they seemed to be in a good mood. The three young masters knelt down together, kowtowed, and after getting up, the old man asked with a smile: "Hong'er, are you in good health today?" ”

Yan Hong hurriedly replied: "Grandfather Xie cares. My grandson slept peacefully yesterday, and he was already well and tired. ”

Yan Song nodded: "During your illness, the shop in the west of the city was managed by Hu'er. Now that you're well, let's go around more and manage it again. ”

Yan Hong was about to agree, when he caught a glimpse of Yan Hu on his left, with a mournful expression. His heart moved, and he saluted Yan Song and said:

"Grandfather, although my grandson is well, he has been delayed for too long in his illness, and some things are still confused for a while. Immediately take all the shops back, I'm afraid that something will go wrong and miss the business. In the humble opinion of the grandson, these businesses are still managed by the second brother, and for half a month, let the grandson count slowly, wait for the accounts to be straightened out, and then gradually take over, so that the grandson will not be able to delay the business, and our Yan family's business will have a transition. It's just that the second brother has to work harder. During my illness, my second brother worked tirelessly to manage the shop, and now I have to work for you for another half a month. ”

Yan Song listened, smiled slightly, and turned to Yan Shifan: "East Building, what do you say?" ”

Yan Shifan said: "What Hong'er said is not bad. Anyway, they are all two brothers in a family, and it is common sense to share each other's efforts. If the father thinks it is appropriate, then let the hooves take care of it for another half a month, and gradually hand it over. ”

Yan Song said: "Then do it." Hu'er, you will work hard for half a month, and gradually hand over the shop business with Hong'er. Both brothers have to be careful. ”

Yan Hu smiled and sighed deeply: "Yes, my grandson obeys the orders of my grandfather and father." He straightened up and glanced at Yan Hong with complicated eyes.

Yan Hong said: "In the past half month, the shop has worked hard for the second brother to take care of it, and the grandson wants to walk around more and turn around." After being sick for many days, his grandson also has some plans for his past business. And the second brother has been in charge for many days, so he must also have his own unique opinions. In his spare time, Sun Er also wants to discuss with his second brother a lot, how to make these transactions of our Yanmen prosperous and go to the next level. ”

Yan Song smiled when he heard this, and his snow-white beard trembled slightly: "Good, good, good." Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, Hong'er has this enterprising spirit, and he is worthy of being the eldest grandson of my strict family. These days, you and Yan Er will check around. If there is a great need for handmade utensils, or money, let Yan Er pay directly in the old man's account office. ”

Yan Hong made another gesture: "Thank you, grandfather." Yu Guang glanced at Yan Hu again, and the expression on his face seemed to be happy and sad, which was very complicated.

Yan Hong smiled secretly in his heart, after all, modern people are still better than the ancients in terms of overall human sophistication. Yan Hu is probably happy to get a half-month period, and he can try to get a little more benefits. worried, probably jealous of Yan Song's praise for his eldest brother, and felt that he had lost the favor. This idiot, where do you know my intentions?

In fact, Yan Hong himself is not an open-minded husband and hero. In the 21st century, he is often worried about a fraction of the utility bill, and he is often depressed by the trivial office politics in the sales team, although relatively speaking, the salespeople basically rely on the performance of the speech, and the so-called political struggle is very little compared to the average enterprise and organization. It's just that now that I have experienced a life-and-death crisis, I can naturally look at the problem a lot more broadly.

Moreover, from a half-penniless ** silk, he has grown into the eldest young master of the capital of the dynasty, it is like winning the 10 sports lottery grand prize all of a sudden, so when the heart is in full swing, in the end the individual tax is 20% or 25%, in fact, it does not affect the mood too much.

In particular, he has already seen that Yan Hu, the second brother, is not quite right with him, but he has no hatred of killing his father and wife, and he has no confusion of seizing the throne later. The entanglement is nothing more than the oil and water of a few shops, this is a hair! If the Yan Mansion doesn't fall, who will have a bite to eat from this favored eldest young master and second young master? If the Yan Mansion falls, the skin will not be armed, even if you give you all the shops in Beijing at this time, you are afraid that you will not even be able to keep a stall at that time!

After figuring out this layer, Yan Hong was very unconcerned about the chicken and insect dispute between the boss and the second in the past. In this case, you might as well just give the second child a little time to stretch and let him get some benefits, which can be regarded as a personal favor. By the way, why not show generosity as an elder brother in front of grandpa and dad?

At this time, I heard Yan Shifan speak: "It's good to be able to do bigger business, but you don't have to be greedy for more." Our Yanmen is the head of the dynasty, and it still relies on moral articles, and the auxiliary monarch is in charge. When your brothers are walking outside, you must pay attention to your own identity, words and deeds, and don't be like the villain in the market. ”

Yan Hong, Yan Hu, and Yan Shaoqing saluted together. Yan Hong secretly scolded in his heart: "Daddy One-eyed Dragon is really good at saying beautiful things, your old man is the most greedy for enjoyment, a beautiful wife and concubine, and a high-rise compound." It's not that my brothers are working hard to take care of internal and external business, don't you want to live this drunken life with bribes alone? Could it be that the reputation of doing business is ruined, and it is still glorious to be corrupt and corrupt as an official, sell officials and take bribes? Of course, anyway, according to history, you will be full of evil, so we won't worry about your old man. ”

Yan Song saw that the matter was almost over, and yawned: "Come on, it's not too early." Hong'er, you and Yan Er will go to the shops. Hu'er, you go and prepare, what should be handed over, cooperate with the eldest brother. Shaoqing went back to the study to study. I have some important things to discuss with your father. Let's go. ”

The three of them agreed one by one, and were about to bow and retreat, when Yan Song added:

"Yan Er, when you accompany Hong'er out, take Yan Feng and Yan Fu with you. It's not been very peaceful on the road lately, don't have any more accidents, be careful that I hit your old leg with a cane! ”

Yan Xia, the second master of Yan, faced with the old lady's entrustment, was full of flattery, and nodded again and again: "Don't worry, there is a small one, even if you don't want to die, you won't let the eldest young master hurt a single hair!"

In Beijing during the Ming Dynasty, the outside of the city was still dotted with trees, and the grass was abundant, and the sandstorm that swept the world in later generations had not yet raged. In the city of Beijing in late spring, the sun is shining and the spring breeze is blowing.

Just on the street, a well-dressed boy with red lips and white teeth was walking around on his legs under the hugs of several dog minions.

The boy shook his head, the spring breeze was proud, and a few dog minions had a bulging chest, a fox and a fake tiger, and it was a beautiful scenery of a harmonious and prosperous world.

Everywhere they went, people looked sideways, some pointed at them, or spat on the ground.

Of course, this is the eldest young master Yan Hong, who is accompanied by Yan Xia and other family members, parading around Beijing and inspecting various businesses. As for the second young master Yan Hu, I don't know where Lu Dao has gone at this time.

Yan Hong doesn't care. Anyway, the set handover time is still half a month later, so he just took this opportunity to inspect it and see what happened.

Although, in Yan Hong's original ontological memory, there is a lot of information about these businesses, and most of them are quite detailed. But because it is so many and detailed, Yan Hong must go through them one by one in person after passing through the possession to truly comprehend it. Otherwise, after all, it is just a mess of accounts and numbers in my mind.

The Yan family's stores in the capital cover a wide range of warehouses and stacks to restaurants, tea shops, pawnshops, grain stores, silk villages, etc. Even for a side-door business such as Qinglou Casino, although Yan Hong is not easy to come forward directly, he can take a few dry shares from it.

In fact, who can open this kind of business in the capital and not have a few bigwigs standing behind them?

Along the way, Yan Hong found that he was not in this period, although Yan Hu made trouble from it, but fortunately, with Yan Xia's help, he was not really infiltrated by him, and the business operation of each store was basically normal. The little king of Yama is famous, and the shopkeeper who eats copper coins is the best teaching material there, and no one dares to take advantage of his injury to enrich his pockets.

After checking the accounts of several shops, Yan Hong finally regained some of the confidence of the traverser.

The current accounting method of the Ming Dynasty is the "three-legged account" accounting method that has just transitioned from single-entry accounting to double-entry accounting. Compared with what he learned in later life, he still seems to be lacking, which is something that he can show off in the future.

On the other hand, if the account books of several shops were to be re-established in one place, the amount of manual time required would be considerable. Nowadays, this bookkeeping method is regarded by the shopkeeper as a unique secret technique that cannot be easily passed on.

To retrain the account manager, on the one hand, it is hard work, and on the other hand, it is easy to cause people's hearts to fluctuate, so this matter should be put aside for the time being.

However, Yan Hong had already made up his mind, turned back to the mansion, and asked Yan Xia to prepare a large amount of blank paper for himself, prepare his own account books, and reorganize each shop according to the "project-time management method".

As for the hands and feet that Yan Hu's second brother did, he naturally understood it in his heart when he used this method. Whether you find out or not depends on your mood. After finding out the flaws in the accounts, there is no need to rush out of the cracks at this time, but first think about it. He has to come obediently, everyone is still a good brother, otherwise, these will be bombs at that time, and it would be good to have one more.

It's a pity that there is no computer now, otherwise an Excel spreadsheet with one click, and you don't have to calculate everything yourself, which is more convenient.
