Chapter 57 A love story between a man and a woman (Hurry! Please read it!!)

When Chen Tai heard that Xue Mu could show him a legal way to make money, he immediately became excited.

"Master Xue! Let's find a place to have a chat?"

Xue Mu nodded: "If you don't go to Guiyue Tower, just find a place to eat."

"Okay, okay." Chen Tai winked and asked others to make arrangements immediately.

Xue Mu then said to Leng Mei and the others: "Go back early when the goods are sold out. I'll be back later."

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

After they left, Xu Ruyan said worriedly: "Sister Leng, will the young master be okay?"

"Don't worry, that Chen Tai looked down upon Xiao Mu now. He probably has something in his hands. Besides, Xiao Mu is still a minor official, and they don't dare to act casually.

"Leng Mei consoled her.

Seeing Leng Mei analyze so calmly, Xu Ruyan praised her: "Sister Leng, you are just so calm, as if you are used to such big scenes."

Leng Mei smiled slightly: "That's because I've seen it too much, so naturally I don't find it strange anymore."

She looked at the people coming and going on the street, "Look, these people are so busy every day, not just for the three meals a day. Those people from Hukou Hall come to collect protection fees. They may not have any objection, after all, they still have to live.

, but if his job is destroyed, do you think these people will directly fight against them?"

“Our Daqing is in dire straits”

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

She also recalled that her father once expressed such emotion.

"Sir, sit down quickly."

Chen Tai knew that Xue Mu did not want to be high-profile.

So I specially chose a small teahouse.

In order to express the atmosphere, he directly booked the entire tea stall.

"Boss, I'm taking care of everything, 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!"

Don't talk about such a large piece of silver.

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

When Chen Tai saw that there was no one around, he asked curiously: "Sir, how can we make money legally here?"

Xue Mu was not in a hurry to answer, but instead asked: "How many streets like this are there in our capital city?"

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

"The main street is interspersed with various alleys, small streets, right?" Xue Mu continued to ask.

Chen Tai nodded: "That's right."

"As far as I know, the four streets in the southeast and northwest sell different things." Xue Mu reminded.

Chen Tai replied: "Yes, sir, the East Street mainly sells cloth, the West Street mainly sells grains and rice, our North Street mainly sells some small desserts and vegetables, and as for the South Street, there are more

It's the furniture business and so on."

Xue Mu heard the answer he wanted: "Do you ever feel that you can't compare with other gangs because the products sold in your jurisdiction are not good?"

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

Xue Mu replied: "The main reason why vendors feel that they pay too much protection fee is because they have no money to make. How can they make money by selling some desserts and vegetables? They can't even eat enough, so why would they want to pay you?"

fee?"

When Chen Tai heard this, he immediately understood.

He patted his thigh and said, "Sir, your words suddenly woke me up! Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"

"From today onwards, you ask those vendors to sell as many things as possible that are usually in high demand. In a word, the goods that are available on Southeast and West Street must be available on North Street, and the goods that are not available on Southeast and West Street must be available on North Street.

have."

Xue Mu's words also enlightened Chen Tai.

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

Xue Mu just smiled and said nothing.

If this guy were left in modern times, he wouldn't be so surprised.

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

Then, he reminded: "You must also remind your men not to abuse force. What you are collecting is not protection money!"

Chen Tai was stunned: "Then what are we collecting?"

"What is charged is management fees and sanitation fees." Xue Mu explained: "You must divide the areas on this street. As long as the streets are clean and tidy, more people will come to buy things, and they will make more money. Your management will

Only by paying more can you pay more for health expenses.”

Chen Tai wondered: "Doesn't that mean we will be the ones cleaning?"

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

Chen Tai then burst into laughter: "Sweep, sweep! It's not me who is sweeping!"

After Xue Mu’s explanation.

He finally understood.

Chen Tai gave a thumbs up: "As expected of Mr. Xue! This business management method is really good! I admire you!"

"In a word, if you want to make money from ordinary people, you must first let them earn more, and get rich first to drive wealth later."

"Yes, yes, I understand, little one."

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

Xue Mu did not accept it, but said: "You and I are just taking what we need, and we will not be rewarded for no merit. I will not ask for your gold."

Chen Taize explained awkwardly: "Oh, sir, look at what you said, are you still angry about what happened last time? I, Old Chen, have always been a rough man, and we didn't get to know each other last time.

How about I punish myself with three bowls of tea as an apology?"

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

Seeing that he was quite straightforward, Xue Mu eventually drank a bowl himself.

Seeing him drinking, Chen Tai said happily: "Sir, if you don't mind, we can be brothers. Although I am older than you, you are an adult, and I am willing to call myself my younger brother."

Xue Mu shook his head: "No, this will mess up the seniority. We don't know each other even if we don't fight. I hope Hall Master Chen's men will take more care of the newly opened tofu shop in the future."

"Don't worry, I have already told my people that if anyone dares to go to the tofu shop to cause trouble, I will definitely not be able to spare him!"

Seeing that it was getting late, Xue Mu stood up and planned to leave.

"Sir, shall I take you back? Can I prepare a car for you?"

"No need, I'm used to walking. Taking a car is too high-profile."

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

After 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'm cooking today and made a soup. Young Master, you can try it."

"good."

Xue Mu took the bowl of soup slowly and gropingly.

Before drinking, Xu Ruyan reminded: "Sir, be careful because it's hot."

"good."

Take a sip.

He nodded and praised: "Yes, it tastes good."

Hearing what Xue Mu said, Xu Ruyan also became happy.

Xue Mu asked, "Hey? Where's Sister Leng? Let her have a taste of your craftsmanship."

"She asked me to come back first because she had something to do." Xu Ruyan explained.

"Is something wrong?"

Xue Mu didn't take it to heart, but joked: "I thought you couldn't even cook at the beginning, but I didn't expect you could make soup now."

"I can only cook." Xu Ruyan laughed at herself: "Otherwise, besides reading novels, there is nothing else to do."
