Gu Shun actually asked to see the account books of the auction house, which caught Zheng Ji off guard.

Let's not mention whether he can understand the shopkeeper, when other shopkeepers took over the auction house, he never asked for this thing.

The bookkeeper in charge of the property left a long time ago, and the auction house has not kept any accounts at all in recent months, and the business has been sluggish, relying on the sale of lots accumulated in the treasury for many years.

The money on the books of the entire auction house should have been picked up and divided up a long time ago.

There is also a list of recommended personnel for Gu Shun, the new official took office with three fires, and Gu Shun's first fire burned on the personnel, in case his own people were replaced, it would be a loss.

Seeing that they would soon be able to follow the Gu family to enjoy Qingfu, they resolutely could not be removed at this time.

Gu Shun shook his head secretly amused, he wanted to give Steward Zhuang a chance, after all, he was an old employee who had been in charge of the auction house for so long, and there was no problem for him to manage the auction house during the business transition period.

It's a pity that he has lost one of the most basic potentials, which is loyalty.

Loyalty and honesty are the qualities that Gu Shun values the most, no matter how good your ability is and how strong your martial arts are, if you lose these two qualities, no matter how big the Gu family is, no matter how many people you need, there will be no place for him.

Seeing Zhuang Ji standing in place, he didn't take action.

The experience of accompanying Gu Shun said impatiently: "What's the matter, Steward Zhuang, Gu Shao's shopkeeper asked you to get the account book, why don't you hurry up and get it?" ”

The experience is that the government is in charge of the documents, and he will definitely be able to understand these financial account books, if he takes it out now, he is missing so much, and he will be in charge of the end of his work.

Zhuang Ji's mind was in a hurry, and he searched his stomach and thought of the reason.

At this time, Zhuang Ji's apprentice saw the master's embarrassment, and immediately stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "Steward, didn't our bookkeeper go back to his hometown for something, and the account books were also taken away by him, so we don't have the nearest account books here." ”

"Yes, yes, look at my memory, Mr. Bookkeeper has indeed returned to his hometown."

He asked strangely: "What is the bookkeeper doing when he goes back to his hometown with the account book?" ”

"He, he heard that his mother died suddenly that day, and he was in a hurry, so he accidentally packed the ledger when he was packing his things."

"Haven't you looked for such an important thing, how do you remember your monthly income and expenses, and how do you pay taxes?"

"We also want to look for it, but we don't know where the bookkeeper's house is, and this country is so big, where can we go to find it. But I keep the accounts of the past few months in my head, and if I write them down, I can get them out at any time. ”

Gu Shun nodded with a sneer, "Since that's the case, it's also hard for you." Then work hard to write down the accounts, and by the way, write me a list of promotions with outstanding ability and reliable character.

I'll go to the pawnshop next door, and then the two families will get together for a meeting, and I have something important to announce. ”

Looking at Gu Shun's cold smile, as if he had seen through everything, Zhuang Ji shuddered in his heart, and he had the illusion that he had been completely seen through by him.

Zhuang Ji unconsciously oozed a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead and said: "Obey, I will make the bill immediately, and by the way, I will get a list for Shopkeeper Gu." ”

After speaking, Gu Shun let the experience take him to the pawnshop next door to the auction house.

The situation of the pawnshop is even more serious than that of the auction house, and a large amount of money is embezzled, but the pawnshop business is much better than that of the auction house, after all, ordinary Jiangnan City residents will always come to the pawnshop to pawn something if they are in urgent need of money.

However, over the years, the pawnshop has formed a large number of bad debts, and this situation has become more serious after the Zhang family took over.

The Zhang family took advantage of the convenience to convert a large amount of rags looted from the Zhu family into cash, which almost emptied the pawnshop's reserves, so the current cash flow of the pawnshop is almost exhausted.

After checking the situation of the two stores, Gu Shun almost had a number in his heart.

It can be said that these two auction houses and pawnshops are genuine gold and jade, and they may be more valuable than the current pawnshops and auction houses if they are sold for these two plots of land.

However, Gu Shun has long been accustomed to this situation, isn't it just turning decay into magic, this is his professional strength.

Coming out of the pawnshop, Gu Shun let the experience go back first, and he went outside for a walk, borrowed a few bookkeepers from his mother's trading house, and counted the assets and accounts of the two families.

Since the auction house lied that the account books were lost, Gu Shun directly asked the account office to check the value of the lots hidden in the warehouse, as well as all the precious metals and coins, and after depreciating all the assets, Gu Shun could also have a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the business conditions of the two stores.

In the evening, Gu Shuncai invited the staff of the auction house and the pawnshop to the second floor of the auction house.

It is usually the venue where auctions are held, and it has the largest room and more seats, just enough for everyone in both stores to sit out, so it is suitable for a plenary meeting.

The men at the auction house and the pawnshop were relieved from their initial ecstasy, and they were full of nervousness and anticipation for the meeting that their new shopkeeper was going to hold.

After everyone was seated, Gu Shun walked in from outside, holding the data that Mr. Bookkeeper had roughly counted in his hand, and the detailed asset data required at least a week's investigation, and it was not possible to get it out today.

However, even this brief asset inventory data is shocking enough.

The Zhuang steward of Yuantong Auction House and the Qu steward of Junze Pawnshop both looked at Gu Shun very uneasily, and their palms were unconsciously cold sweat.

At this moment, in the entire square auction hall, there is a table, Gu Shun and the two stewards are sitting on both sides of the table, Gu Shun is one against two, his aura is not weak at all, and he even faintly overwhelms the two of them.

Behind the two stewards are all the guys in the two shops, except for those who are out on vacation to fish, almost all of them who can come.

As soon as Gu Shun sat down, everyone stood up and bowed to Gu Shun and said, "Gu Shopkeeper is good." ”

He waved his hand, motioned for everyone to sit down, and said directly without any nonsense: "Presumably you already know the news that Yuantong Auction House and Junze Pawnshop have been bought by me."

From now on, the two stores will be officially merged into one, named Yuantong Auction Company, collectively referred to as Yuantong to the outside world, and the original business will remain unchanged. ”

Hearing this news, the employees behind them were all smiling, they were able to integrate the power of pawnshops and auction houses to achieve a strong alliance, Gu Shun did what many people dare not do, and it is something that can only be done by real wealth.

The stewards Zhuang and Qu, who were sitting opposite Gu Shun, were worried.

Once the two stores merge, it means that the management organization will also be reorganized, and there is only one person left in the management of Yuantong after the reorganization.

It also means that one of them will be relegated or even kicked out of the relationship, which is something that neither of them wants to see.

Gu Shun glared at the two of them, and asked meaningfully: "The two of you seem to have something on your mind, I don't know if the two stewards agree to this arrangement." ”

"I support all the arrangements of the shopkeeper Gu."

"Gu shopkeeper's arrangement, I firmly agree."

"That's good, but before the two companies can be officially merged, there are still various problems left over from the auction house and the pawnshop, especially the financial problems."

As he spoke, Gu Shun slapped the account data of the two stores sorted out by the accounting room on the table and pushed it in front of the two of them.

Steward Zhuang and Steward Qu both picked up their accounts and looked at them with anxiety, and the more they looked at them, the worse their faces became.

Gu Shun didn't care about the two of them, but announced in public: "I believe everyone is very puzzled, why would I buy an auction house for no reason, what I want to do is not to be pampered and be the shopkeeper, but to rely on our own strength to make this auction house a greater existence than Shunfeng Dart Bureau and Yunda Commercial Bank, whether it is scale or revenue." ”
