"Miss, this is the account book for this quarter sent by Li San."
After dinner, when he saw that the master had returned to the room, Qiaoxin immediately presented the account book.
"It's been three months so soon?"
Xia Ning sighed that time passed too quickly, feeling that Li San and his team had only been launched for a long time, but they didn't expect it to be a quarter so soon.
Immediately, she took the ledger and looked through it, because of her limited energy, she couldn't check the ledger once a month, it would be too time-consuming and cumbersome, and she would have to die of exhaustion.
So she made a rule with all the stewards, that is, to check the ledger on a three-month cycle, that is, once a quarter.
And in the last week of the quarter, the stewards need to send the ledger in turn, rather than all in one day.
Now if the entire base wants to talk about the industry ranking, there is no suspense that she must occupy the top spot, that is, the industries under the name of the base have her shares.
It can be said that she alone controls the economic lifeline of the entire base.
At present, most of her industries are either cooperating with the base or cooperating with the Song family, and the only industries that really belong to her alone are the supermarket and the sales team managed by Li San.
So, if the stewards all got together and sent the ledgers, she really didn't have that much time to check them all, and the best thing to do was for them to send two or three copies a day, so that she could have a spare time to reconcile the ledgers every day.
By spreading out her time in this way, she can read the ledger more efficiently, at least without procrastination or too much burden.
"Not bad~"
After reading the profit on the ledger, Xia Ning nodded with satisfaction.
This Li San really has two brushes!
Today's sales team has been made impressive by him, and the development speed and team size are very good, and he has completely lived up to his trust and cultivation.
At the beginning, she bought three stores in the county and gave Li San an initial amount of money, and after it was put into operation, she did not invest any new funds.
But in just two months, Li San not only expanded the original three stores to seven, but also developed a sales team of more than ten people to the current fifty or sixty people, and even the income has tripled.
Now they have spread their sales scope from Cangshan County to the surrounding two counties and towns, and have reached cooperation with several restaurants, tea houses and cloth shops.
Even, he was very clever in turning the seven stores into a chain store model, and at the beginning he only bought a few goods produced in the base, but now, he directly unified the seven stores into a supermarket model.
However, in order to make everyone more understandable and acceptable, he did not name the supermarket, but named it 'Xia Ji Grocery Store', and directly put all the goods produced in the base on the shelves of the store.
He obviously referred to the business concept of the base supermarket, and I have to say that he is a person who knows how to live and learn.
But that's okay, the more capable the partner is, the easier it will be for her as an investor, and she is willing to give him power to show his skills.
"I don't know what happened to them?"
Xia Ning closed the ledger and couldn't help but think of the caravan that was out of the house, calculating the time, they should be at the border now, right?
I don't know if their trip went smoothly? Is it possible to make friendly deals with Gentiles?
She is not talking about the barbarians who invaded Eastern Chu, but the real foreigners.
Xia Ning also learned later on the map of Song Shaoqin that the so-called barbarians in this world are the ethnic minorities living in the grassland tribes in modern times.
It is also because their living conditions are too difficult and materials are too scarce, so they will repeatedly commit crimes at the border passes, in order to seize the materials of the Central Plains.
But the Gentiles are different, they live in the northern desert north of Eastern Chu, in the modern map, almost in the area of Inner Mongolia and Bairussia, by the Eastern Chu people called Fanbang, also called Gentiles.
With the current situation, Xia Ning didn't dare to let the caravan go to the barbarian place to do business, and her brain was not stupid, although King An's army drove the barbarians out of Dongchu, but they still haven't given up.
She occasionally heard the eldest brother talk about the barbarians, and from time to time she made some small moves at the border, seemingly ready to wait for the opportunity to move.
Therefore, the current border pass is not stable at all, and there will be barbarians making trouble in that area every once in a while, so Xia Ning directly aimed at the more 'valuable' Northern Desert.
After all, the area of Inner Mongolia and Bai's Russia is much richer than that of the grassland tribes.
Of course, the most important point is that there are no battles and disputes between the Northern Desert and the Eastern Chu State, and it belongs to the mode of peaceful coexistence, so you can rest assured that you can trade boldly.
The only thing she needed to worry about was the safety along the way, but she thought that the self-defense weapon she had prepared for them was to meet a large group of bandits, and she could directly destroy them.
In addition, they left with the electric three wheels on, and the speed of ordinary people could not catch up with the electric horses, so she was not very worried about these external factors, for fear of encountering bad weather that was difficult to master.
"Miss, you don't have to worry too much, you have prepared so many supplies for them, even if there is really any emergency, then they must be in a much better situation than others."
Qiaoxin did not flatter against his will, but expressed his thoughts very pertinently.
If it weren't for the mood of the master, she still had more straightforward words that she hadn't said, if she had prepared such complete and sufficient supplies, and they didn't have a good time on the road, it would really be their incompetence.
"Well, I'll just talk about it." Xia Ning also suddenly remembered, and she was just a little worried for a while.
But looking at the account book on the table, her mood was beautiful, she is now a proper rich woman, she is really lying down to make money.
Whether it is ancient or modern, she is a person with real estate and property, isn't this beautiful enough?

Mid-November.
"Lit?"
"It's really lit up!"
"Great, we've made it."
In the evening, when it had just darkened and every household was still eating after dinner, the village committee compound suddenly erupted in bursts of cheers, attracting the surrounding villagers to hurriedly run over.
At this time, the members of the technical department were happily hugging, and a group of men were laughing and dancing, just like three-year-old children.
"Ouch, Minister Wen, you should let it go."
"That's right, let's all take a look."
"I hear, what kind of electric light are you getting up? Is this done? ”
"What is an electric light? Will it sound and explode? ”
"I know, I heard that the technical department has been engaged in power generation during this time."
"Huh? What kind of light is there in the house? Why is it so bright? ”
"Really, what kind of light is so bright?"
Minister Wen restrained his smile a little, and excitedly announced to everyone, "Folks, our base has finally developed electric lights, and with electric lights, we can be as bright as day at night in the future." ”
Good night~
