Chapter 15 Getting Money
No matter what Lei Hu had in mind, developing the cause of Zhongyitang at this time was the first priority.
Everything needs silver, Lei Hu doesn't want to live a hard life where it is difficult to see even a little oil and water, so he has to help Zhongyitang develop well, at least he can earn enough capital to eat and drink.
Qin Bao became the hall master of the Zhongyi Hall, and in the eyes of Lei Hu, the various incomes of the Zhongyi Hall naturally did not have the slightest secret, as long as he wanted to, he could easily know the details.
The main income of Zhongyitang is the protection fee, and at most the security insurance fee of Qinglou, gambling house and tobacco house, it is not a problem for Zhongyitang to eat enough, but it is unlikely to have too much surplus.
Originally, there was no problem with this kind of income to meet the operation and security of Zhongyi Tang, but the quality of some brothers in the hall was really rotten, and they often came to the door to extort and even rob unscrupulously after receiving protection money.
Not only that, but the situation of all kinds of petty theft is very serious, which makes the businessmen and the common people complain for a long time, and they are very disgusted with the people in the gang, if they are not able to resist, I am afraid that they will already make a lot of trouble.
These are not excuses for Lei Hu to meddle in the income of the hall, he himself needs a lot of silver to supplement his physical needs.
From his modern point of view, the territory in the hands of Zhongyitang is promising, or even half of the economic potential has not been developed.
"Brother Leopard, do you want to make more money?"
After finding out the income situation of Zhongyi Hall, Lei Hu immediately found Qin Bao directly and asked bluntly.
"Who doesn't like white silver?"
Qin Bao has been in a good mood recently, and he has secured the position of the master of the Hall of Loyalty, the number of junior brothers under him has increased rapidly, and the income brought by the increase in territory is more, not to mention that the days are more moisturized than before.
Hearing Lei Hu say this now, he was shocked and said strangely; "It's just that the protection fee we have collected is enough, and if it is increased again, I am afraid it will cause a violent backlash!"
"Am I that kind of person?"
Lei Hu smiled bitterly, and said angrily: "I just think we can change our business methods a little, and we should be able to make more money, and it won't cause the disgust of the businessmen and the people!" ”
"Oh, Ah Hu, what do you think, come quickly!"
As soon as his eyes lit up, Qin Bao couldn't wait to ask, as if he felt that his attitude was a little too much, and said helplessly: "There are many brothers under him, and the territory is so big, all aspects to be taken into account are extremely troublesome, if there is more silver on hand, there will be a lot of room for maneuver!" ”
"I understand!"
Lei Hu smiled and spoke, the butt decides the head, now that Qin Bao is the master of the Loyal and Righteous Hall, there are many more things to consider, whether it is to open up the relationship between the government and the government, or to buy his younger brother to sell his life, the more money on hand, the better.
He didn't sell any words, he put out the ideas in his heart one by one, in short, he used modern management methods to manage the younger brothers and the territory of Zhongyitang, so that the resources could be used to the maximum.
How can Zhongyitang say that there are more than 100 junior brothers now, all of whom are young and strong guys, and in the eyes of Lei Hu, this is a very good human resource.
It's just obvious that Qin Bao couldn't understand his modern management theory for a while, and asked with a hesitant face: "Is this really effective?" ”
If it weren't for Lei Hu, who made the suggestion, I'm afraid that he would have slapped his ears a long time ago, isn't he fooling him, do you really think that the hall master of the hall is not able to hold back?
"It will definitely have an effect, it depends on whether Brother Leopard is willing to be ruthless and rectified!"
Lei Hu said solemnly with a serious face; "Besides, it's just a change of management method, and in the end, even if it doesn't have any effect, it won't have much impact on Zhongyitang, right, and it won't be restored to its original state!"
"Okay, Ah Hu, you can try it, if anyone is disobedient, you will cut him directly!"
Qin Bao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, just as Lei Hu said, just a different way of management, even if the situation is worse, it is not much worse.
With the approval of Qin Bao, the master of the Zhongyi Hall, the entire Zhongyi Hall underwent a stunned change under the command of Lei Hu in the next half a month.
Lei Hu first rectified the interior of Zhongyi Hall, and it was still the kind of ruthless one.
Thanks to the heavy losses of Zhongyitang before, there is not much left of the original old man, and the new junior brother has not completely gained a foothold, and he does not dare to toss indiscriminately, and in the face of Lei Hu's sudden ruthless rectification, it did not attract fierce resistance.
All the old oilers in the market, as well as the green-skinned bastards with a lot of criminal records, are all restrained and not allowed to go out and toss indiscriminately, and they will not be soft when they find one to repair the other.
As for the collection of protection money, it was all handed over to the young Zhuang who had recently been recruited from Qin Bao's hometown village.
Speaking of this, I have to thank the village chief for his serious lack of prestige, otherwise it would not be easy for Qin Bao to pull a dozen or twenty young and strong men from the village, you must know that the local clan power in the Chancheng area is quite strong.
Once the clan elders fiercely oppose it, the clan youth must be honest and obedient, otherwise the end will not be good.
It is precisely with nearly twenty young men from his hometown as his confidants, and the support of a well-known good player like Lei Hu, that Qin Bao's position as the master of the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness can be done steadily.
The younger brothers of Zhongyitang, who were strictly restrained, formed several combat teams according to different areas to deal with emergencies, and their biggest role was to watch the field and fight with other gangs.
Soon, the merchants and people on the site of Zhongyi Hall felt the different changes from before.
The Zhongyitang thugs who came to collect protection money were no longer fierce and vicious, but on the contrary, they were all smiling and kind, although the businessmen and people who were found had to pay for them, but they were finally a lot more comfortable.
There are businessmen and people who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard, or who are extremely stingy and reluctant to pay money, as long as they see the green-skinned gangsters who are not far away with an unhappy face, they will extinguish the idea of not giving money.
These are just normal gang income businesses, even if they are turned into the so-called 'smiling door-to-door' by Lei Hu, which reduces the disgust of many businessmen and people, it has not made the income of the hall increase in the door.
The next changes are the real means of increasing Thundertiger's income.
On the turf streets of Zhongyitang, there are suddenly a lot of cleaning figures, and if you look closely, you will find that these guys with brooms are all junior brothers of Zhongyitang's subordinates who are disabled for various reasons, and they have lost their combat effectiveness, and even normal life is quite difficult.
Lei Hu organized them to clean the streets and give them a fixed salary and salary, which can be regarded as giving them a stable source of livelihood, whether it is the little brother of Zhongyi Tang himself or their family, they are very happy, and they are busy and promise to do a good job so as not to disappoint the tiger master.
"This is what you have paid for with sweat and hard work, there is no need to do this!"
Lei Hu smiled lightly and waved his hand, not because of this, he didn't know why......
Next, the merchants and people who thought that the Zhongyitang gangsters had changed their style, and that they were about to start doing good deeds knew that they were powerful, and when the Zhongyitang thugs with a smile on their faces came to collect a small amount of 'sanitation management fees', they immediately exploded.
Dogs really can't change eating!
Some businessmen didn't want to cause trouble, so they pinched their noses and paid a sanitation management fee of 20 copper per month, while the rest of the businessmen who didn't pay suffered a lot of trouble, and the garbage heaps at the door of their homes and shops emitted a disgusting and unpleasant smell every day, and the businessmen who were tossed to death finally had to bow their heads honestly.
Later, there was also the transportation and logistics fleet organized by Zhongyitang, as well as the big killer weapon to help the merchants and people negotiate with the government officials, and the income of Zhongyitang increased greatly and was also praised by some businessmen......
