When Chen Tai heard that Xue Mu could show him a way to make money legally, he suddenly became energetic.

"Lord Xue! Let's find a place to talk? ”

Xue Mu nodded: "Don't go to Guiyue Tower, just find a place to eat." ”

"Alright, alright." Chen Tai glanced at him and asked the others to arrange it immediately.

Xue Mu immediately said to Leng Mei: "I'll go back early after selling, and I'll be back later." ”

"Okay." Leng Mei responded: "Go ahead." ”

After they left, Xu Ruyan was a little worried: "Sister Leng, will the son be okay?" ”

"Don't worry, that Chen Tai is looking low when he sees Xiao Mu now, it is estimated that either there is something in his hands, and Xiao Mu is also a small official no matter what he says, and they don't dare to move casually." Leng Mei comforted.

Xu Ruyan saw Leng Mei analyzing so calmly, but she also praised: "Sister Leng, you are just calm, as if you are used to seeing this kind of big scene." ”

Leng Mei smiled slightly: "That's because I've seen a lot, so naturally I don't think it's unusual." ”

She looked at the people coming and going on the street, "You see, these people are so busy every day, it's not for the three meals a day, those people from Hukoutang come to collect protection money, they may have no opinion, after all, they still have to live, but if their jobs are smashed, do you think these people will fight with them directly?" ”

"Our Daqing is in dire straits......

Seeing this, Xu Ruyan looked at the vendors who were still shouting, and not far from the next door was the refugee area.

She also recalled that her father had also expressed such feelings back then.

......

"Sit, sir."

Chen Tai knew that Xue Mu was reluctant to be high-profile.

So I specially chose a small tea shop.

In order to reflect the atmosphere, he directly chartered the entire tea stall.

"Boss, I've got it all for this time, don't let anyone in." Chen Tai threw a piece of silver to the middle-aged man.

When the middle-aged man saw it, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay! ”

Such a large piece of silver, let alone people.

I don't think even a fly can fly in.

Chen Tai saw that there was no one around, so he was curious: "My lord, how can we make money legally?" ”

Xue Mu didn't answer in a hurry, but asked, "How many such streets are there in our capital?" ”

"There are four main streets." Chen Tai immediately said: "They are arranged in southeast, northwest, and northwest. ”

"The main street is interspersed with all kinds of alleys and small streets, right?" Xue Mu continued to ask.

Chen Tai nodded: "That's right." ”

"As far as I know, these four streets sell different things." Xue Mu reminded.

Chen Tai replied: "Yes, my lord, as long as the East Street is mainly cloth, the West Street is mainly grain and rice, our North Street is mainly based on some small desserts and vegetables, and as for the South Street, it is more about furniture and so on." ”

Xue Mu heard the answer he wanted: "Do you think that you can't compare to other gangs because the things you sell in your jurisdiction are not good?" ”

"Bad?" Chen Tai was a rough man and didn't understand what Xue Mu meant.

Xue Mu replied: "The main reason why the vendors feel that they pay too much protection fee is because they have no money to make, what money can they make by buying some desserts and vegetables?" They can't eat enough, why do they want to pay you? ”

When Chen Tai heard this, he immediately understood.

He patted his thigh and said, "My lord, your words woke me up all of a sudden!" Oh, yes! I didn't think of that! ”

"From today onwards, you ask those vendors to sell as many things as possible that are usually in demand, in a word, what is available on Southeast West Street, North Street must have it, and what is not available on Southeast West Street, North Street must also have it."

Xue Mu's words also made Chen Taidai empowered.

He couldn't help but admire: "Lord Xue is really a business wizard!" ”

Xue Mu just smiled and didn't speak.

If this guy had been left in modern times, he wouldn't have been so surprised.

After all, the Huaqiangbei market in the south is famous throughout the country.

Later, he reminded: "You also have to remind your subordinates not to abuse force, you are not collecting protection money!" ”

Chen Tai was stunned: "Then what do we receive?" ”

"It's management fees and sanitation fees." Xue Mu explained: "This street, you have to divide the area, only the street is clean and tidy, the more people will come to buy things, the more they earn, and the more your management fees and sanitation fees." ”

Chen Tai wondered: "Then wouldn't we become the cleaners?" ”

"You can make money by sweeping the floor, you don't sweep?" Xue Mu asked rhetorically.

Chen Tai laughed out loud: "Sweep, sweep!" Anyway, it's not me who sweeps! ”

After Xue Mu's explanation.

He finally understood.

Chen Tai gave a thumbs up: "It's really worthy of Lord Xue!" This way of business management really has a hand! Xiaomin admires! ”

"In a word, if you want to make money from the people, you have to let them earn more first, and the first rich will lead the latter to become rich."

"Yes, yes, the little one understands."

He took out a small gold ingot from his pocket and planned to hand it to Xue Mu.

Xue Mu didn't accept it, but said: "You and I just take what we need, and I won't ask for your gold." ”

Chen Tai explained embarrassedly: "Oh, my lord, look at what you said, are you still angry about the last incident?" My old Chen has always been a rough person, and I didn't know each other last time, so how about I punish myself with three bowls of tea as an apology? ”

He didn't care whether Xue Mutong agreed or not, and drank it himself.

Xue Mu was also straightforward when he saw him, and finally drank a bowl himself.

Chen Tai saw that he drank it, and said happily in his heart: "My lord, if you don't mind, we can be brothers, although I am older than you, but you are an adult, and Xiaomin is willing to call himself a younger brother." ”

Xue Mu shook his head: "No, this is a mess of generations, we don't know each other, and I hope that Hall Master Chen's subordinates will take care of the newly opened tofu shop in the future." ”

"Don't worry, I've already told my subordinates, if anyone dares to go to the tofu shop to make trouble, I will definitely not be able to bypass him!"

Xue Mu saw that the time was not early, so he stood up and planned to leave.

"My lord, shall I send you back? Get a car for you? ”

"No, I'm used to walking, and it's too high-profile to ride in the car."

When he got home, Xue Mu found that there was only Xu Ruyan in the house.

When Xu Ruyan saw Xue Mu, she immediately walked up to him and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Xue Mu smiled: "What can I do." ”

"That's good." Xu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief, she immediately returned to the table, picked up a bowl of soup and said, "I cooked today and made a soup, son, you can taste it." ”

"Okay."

Xue Mu slowly groped for the bowl of soup.

Before drinking, Xu Ruyan reminded: "Son, be careful of burning." ”

"Okay."

Take a sip.

He nodded and praised, "Yes, it's delicious." ”

Hearing Xue Mu say this, Xu Ruyan was also happy.

Xue Mu asked, "Huh? Sister Leng, let her taste your craft. ”

"She asked me to come back first, she has something." Xu Ruyan explained.

"Something?"

Xue Mu didn't take it to heart, but teased: "I think at the beginning, you didn't even know how to cook, but I didn't expect that now you can make soup." ”

"I can only cook." Xu Ruyan laughed at herself: "Otherwise, there is nothing to do on weekdays except to read novels." ”

Xue Mu suddenly thought of something, and he asked, "Ruyan, do you read a lot of novels on weekdays?" ”

"Uh-huh."

"Is it a novel about the love between men and women?"

When Xu Ruyan heard this, her face flushed, and she stood up: "Actually...... Actually, I don't like to watch it very much...... I think this kind of talk is ...... Criticism is needed. ”

Xue Mu thought to himself, he had read so many vernacular novels.

Even if he can't restore every word, he still has the ability to tell the general story.

So he asked, "Are there many novels like this on the market?" Do you like to watch it? ”

"On the market...... Indeed, Ruyan doesn't know if they like to watch ......"

Hearing this, Xue Mu also said with some regret: "I still think that you have a good memory, I read stories, you come to write a novel, and then take this novel to the bank to print and sell, make a lot of money, it seems that it will not work." ”

Xu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, she hurriedly nodded happily and said: "This kind of romance is very popular with some young ladies!" I love watching it too! I can do it! ”

"Don't you like to watch it much?"

Xu Ruyan: "(.. •˘_˘•..) I ......"
