After seeing off Franca "Red Boots", Lumian returned to the café with Luis and Sakota's men, and sat in the same place where Baron Brignier usually sits.

René, the manager of the Breeze Ballroom, was waiting there.

He was in his forties, his face was emaciated, and he didn't know if he was overworked or born like this, and his pale yellow hairline receded like that of the Rune.

This is the leader of the Savoyard party, Gardner. Martin directly assigned the operator, but his attitude towards Lumian was still quite respectful, and he showed a flattering smile and said: "Mr. Charles, would you like to know about the situation in the ballroom?"

"Good!" Lu Annmi reached out and took the stack of reports handed over by René and looked at them seriously. Louis and Sakota, who were standing behind him, once again had the feeling that they did not know the leader, that he was a young boy from a country place, who could read such complex financial statements, and that the two of them would only be dizzy and want to sleep; Is this a capable and cultured fight? Louis withdrew his gaze from the stack of reports with "supernatural effects".

René took the opportunity to make an introduction to help the new boss better grasp the operation of the Breeze Ballroom, "On weekends, we earn between 1,200 and 1,800 Feldin a day, and on weekends, this figure can reach up to 5,000 Feldin, and normally 4,000 ......."

Last year's total income was 645,425 filkin, 37 kope, and this year, judging from the current trend, there is a certain increase, but not too much, which requires 12 thugs, 4 bartenders, 6 waiters, 3 cooks, 6 helpers, 3 handymen, 3 dishwashers, 4 cleaners, 1 waiter, 3 financial staff, 3 wine and food buyers, and 1 coachman.

Their average salary is 100 filkins a year, and we also provide free lunch and dinner for a total of 5,300 fils.

"As a manager, my annual salary plus the dividend at the end of the year is about 7,000 Filkin."

According to our agreement with the "Red Boots", each dancer will be provided with a basic salary, 1 filgin per day, and after they make a deal with the customer, we will take a 3% cut, and the transaction is usually carried out in the room on the second floor of the ballroom, if you want to go out, you need to pay the fee in advance to the thug or the waiter foreman at the door......

The cost of wine, champagne, beer, brandy, sugar wine, vermouth and other alcoholic beverages and different flavors of soda, ice cubes, and various ingredients is about 120,000 feldin per year, and this house is bought by us, and there is no need to pay additional rent, plus horse breeding costs, venue maintenance costs, gas fees, running water bills, singers and bands and other expenses, our annual cost is about 230,000 feldin.

"Of the remaining 410,000 Filkin, the boss will take 200,000 Filkin, and Fergin is also needed to have a good relationship with the officers of the Police Headquarters, Mr. Xia, you have about 110,000 Filkins at your disposal, which includes your personal expenses, guns and ammunition replenishment, rewards for subordinates, and pensions for the victims and the wounded......"

"It's a pity that these people in the market area don't earn too much, otherwise we would have made more money on alcoholic beverages......"

Of course, Lumian also has to reward his subordinates from time to time, setting aside a pension and arms expenses for possible conflicts, but he doesn't need to live too well, he doesn't need to hire servants, and he doesn't need to hold banquets.

A coolie earns about 700 filkins a year, a maid who eats and lives in the employer's house is about 480 filkins, and a construction worker earns only 1,000 per year, so some skilled workers only earn 2,500 filkins a year, and a senior engineer earns between 10,000 and 20,000 filkins a year.

Sure enough, the shortcuts to making money are written in the code......

No wonder Brinnel was reluctant to use this ballroom...... Lumian remembered what his sister had said, as long as he saved some flowers and took care of his subordinates to prevent them from charging into battle, the money left over each year was enough to buy the Sequence 6 potion recipe to the corresponding materials.

When René finished speaking, Lumian nodded and asked, "Why do you give the dancers a basic salary?" He wasn't reluctant, he was just curious, "We Savoyard dancers are all in the hands of Red Boots, and she demands that we must pay a basic salary, and we can't force those dancers to take jobs, they can earn less if they want, and starve to death if they want to starve." ”

René explained: "In addition to the dancing girls under the Red Boots, there are also the girls who are controlled by the people on the other side of the lending business, these were all in the hands of Baron Briniere before, there is no conflict, what now

Coordinate?"

Lumian's mind flashed through one thought after another, and finally he felt that "Red Boots" Franca and her sister Aurore were a bit similar in some way, because they belonged to the same hidden organization? But if it were Aurel, she would definitely not deal with it like this, she would organize the dancers to rebel, she would try to build underground schools to teach them knowledge, and find new ways for them...... What would I do if it were me......

After pondering for a moment, Lumian raised his head and said to René and Louis and the others: "For the time being, this will be the case, and no changes will be made." "René is helping me deal with the officers during this time, and when I am familiar with my current position, I will have a good chat with them."

After changing the codes for the two mechanical safes and telling the manager René one of them according to the previous rules, Lumian returned to the "Golden Rooster Hotel" before lunch, and he went upstairs and knocked on Charlie's door.

As soon as Charlie nibbled on a baguette with a light beer, he saw Charles appear at the door, and he asked happily, "Where have you been these two days?" Didn't even go to the bar to drink. ”

Lumian didn't answer and asked, "There is a job opportunity, do you want to consider it?" ”

Lumian smiled and said, "How about going to the Breeze Ballroom as a waiter?" You don't have to join the Savoyard Party, you should have 70 filkins a month, and the tip goes to you, but you should also know that these people in the market area don't tip at all unless you become a woman and want to sleep with them. ”

"Well, there are also some female guests who will ask the waiter to do that kind of thing, you are experienced in this area, you don't need me to say more."

"Breeze Ballroom?" Charlie's eyes widened, "You already have the trust of Baron Briniere?" Can you arrange for someone to be a waiter in the Breeze Ballroom, and you don't need to join the Savoyard Party?

Lumien smiled, "No need for Baron Brinell's consent, the Breeze Ballroom is mine now." ”

"Huh?" Charlie doubted his hearing.

Lumien smiled and explained, "I killed Hammer Ait, and the boss of the Savoyard Party gave me the Breeze Ballroom."

"In this way, Charlie first suddenly realized, and then blurted out in shock, you killed Hammer Aite too?" Lumian nodded: "Don't tell anyone about this matter, I'm afraid that the police will make trouble." ”

Charlie was speechless for a moment, and after a few seconds he muttered, "Shouldn't those Stinger Gang guys go to a nearby church to pray and see if they can be transported?" Ever since you came to the market area, their leaders have died one after another, and I can't imagine what kind of mood they are in right now. ”

"Good idea," Lumian praised.

If the leader of the Stinger Gang dared to pray in the Eternal Sun or the church of the god of steam and machines, the gang would cease to exist, and of course, Louis. Before Lund visited again, Lumien didn't want them to do such a stupid thing.

Zha Li said after a while: "Okay, I'll go to the breeze dance hall in the afternoon, who should I look for?" Haha, I rarely go to the dance hall because I don't have money, and now I can go all the time.

"Find the manager René and say that you are a tenant of the "Golden Rooster Hotel". Lumian replied briefly, and looked to the side, where there were two cleaning maids, one of whom at first looked to be in his early fifties, but on closer inspection he thought he was only in his forties, she had flaxen hair, but she wore a bright blonde wig with eyeshadow and fat powder, which hid her fine wrinkles, but could not change her haggardness.

"What is this?" Lumien asks Charlie.

Charlie tsk explained: You don't know yet? Our stingy landlord changed his personality and instead of having to hire someone to clean once a week, he chose to hire two cleaning ladies to work all morning a day. "Tell me, tell me, isn't this a very big miracle? It's only a little worse than the one I could transfer!"

Lumian, who had just finished reading the financial statements of the Breeze Ballroom, had a flash in his mind about the salary of a cleaning lady of 70 to 80 Feldin per month.

But it was busy from morning to evening, this kind of work only half a day at most 45 Fergin, two half-day cleaning ladies will not exceed 100 Filgin a month, and a fixed time to hire someone to do a big cleaning every week, which is 18 Filgin each time, and Mr. Eve promised me to increase it to twice a week, that is to say, 150 Fergin a month, where is this not stingy? It's a budget!" Lumian sneered, suspecting that if it weren't for the fact that a single cleaning lady wouldn't have been able to clean up the entire inn in half a day, no one would take such a job, and Mr. Eve would certainly not hire two.

"Really?" Charlie grabbed his hair, his calculations could not keep up with Lumien's words.

When the two cleaning ladies went into the room where there were no tenants and photographed the bed bugs there, Lumian pointed in that direction with his chin: Why is there a person wearing a wig and applying eyeshadow? How can any cleaning lady be like this?

Charlie suppressed his voice and said, "I asked, her name is Elody, she said that she used to be a theater actress, and she used to dress herself like this, and she does the same now."

No one knows if what she said is true, but when I was a waiter at the White Swan Hotel, I heard from the cooks that many prostitutes were old and disliked, so they could only do the work of dishwashers and cleaners.

Lumian thought back to Elody's appearance, and felt that she should have been fine when she was younger, and as for whether she used to be a theater actress or a street girl, it had nothing to do with her status as a cleaning lady. Saying goodbye to Charlie, Lumian went to the restaurant on the first floor to grab a bite to eat, and then took a public carriage to the Jia Boulevard area, where he was going to tell Mr. K. that you had completed the mission!
