Chapter 43 Business Ledger
The Qinglong Hall’s convention hall is spacious and bright.
He was wearing a white brocade robe and a magnificent and burly Xiong Qi sat peacefully on the Grand Master's chair, looking through the account book on the desk.
Below, there were about a dozen people sitting left and right. They were all full of energy and blood, and they were strong and strong. You could tell at a glance that they were not good people, but now they were all holding their breath and concentrating their minds, and they didn't dare to let out any more.
Opposite Xiong Qi, there was a strong man with a fierce and domineering face standing at this moment.
Of course, the strong man had absolutely no fierce and domineering appearance on his face at this moment. Instead, he smiled flatteringly, like a docile sheep, standing in front with his head down and his hands hanging down, waiting for Xiong Qi to speak.
"No, the Iron Gang Master did a good job this year, and there is a good start. I wish you a lot of money and all your wishes come true!"
After a while, after searching the account book in front of him, Xiong Qi looked at the fierce man in front of him with approval and said with a smile.
The fierce man with a fat face was overjoyed and quickly clasped his fists and said:
"It's all for the blessing of the Lord of the Hall. Under the wise leadership of the Lord of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Dragon, the Qinglong Hall will surely flourish. We can also benefit from some highlights. The Oriental Master will unify the world for thousands of years!"
Xiong Qi smiled slightly and nodded to show.
Today is the day when the first-level gang under the Qinglong Gang collectively report to the Sun and Moon God Sect and report on this year's "business".
As for gangs at level 2 or even below level 2, report to the local branch incense masters, and there is no need to come to Qinglong Hall.
Generally speaking, such a thing does not require Xiong Qi, the hall master, to come forward, and it is enough to handle it by his subordinates.
But since he was the leader of Qinglong Hall, he encountered such a thing for the first time, so he naturally needed to get the leader of the bigger under his jurisdiction to get to know him.
On the other hand, you also need to be clear about the specific circumstances of your jurisdiction and not be deceived, especially during the first inventory.
Moreover, Xiong Qi, who needs to buy a large number of precious medicinal materials for cultivation, is really short of money. If someone dares to make fake accounts, don’t blame him for being polite.
This is entirely possible. Although these guys below face Xiong Qi, they all looked kind and bowed, but in their respective territory, they were all sucking people without spitting out bones, and there were at least a dozen lives on their hands!
This "iron leader" is the leader of the Qingshui Gang who is in charge of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. Tens of thousands of boatmen are under his jurisdiction. Of course, it is okay to say blackmail.
No matter what, he is doing a big business, and he respects the Qinglong Gang for more than 300,000 taels every year, which is one of the largest sources of wealth for the Sun and Moon Sect in Jiangnan!
After the "Iron Gang Leader" with a fat face retreated, an old man who looked honest and complacent, walked up to him.
But how can those who can sit with so many gangster bosses in the Qinglong Hall Conference Hall are good people?
This old man is Qian Yiguai, known as the "Jiu Mingguai", who is in charge of the ship transport, water transport and the wharf under the Yangtze River Basin. He also does a big "buy and trade" and is also one of the three major sources of wealth in Qinglongtang.
After Qian Yiguai of the leader of the "Cao Gang", the person who came to Xiong Qi's case was a middle-aged man in his forties, rich figure and appearance as a member of the housekeeper.
"Liao Yongxiao, the leader of the Wushui Gang, has met Lord Yang, and the leader of the Eastern Sect for thousands of years, and will unify the world!"
The middle-aged man came to the case and bowed to Xiong Qi first, then handed over an account book with both hands, and said respectfully with his head down.
After hearing the name "Liao Yongxiao", Xiong Qi felt a stir in his heart and looked at him.
I saw this person, like the previous "Iron Gang Leader", and Qian Yiguai, the leader of the "Cao Gang", stood in front of him with his head down and his hands down.
But the fierce aura that inadvertently emanates from his body makes people know that it is definitely not a good person.
"hehe!"
Xiong Qi chuckled and said:
"I have heard that Gang Liao is easy-going and likes to help others. When I see you today, I am kind-hearted and rich!"
The dozen people sitting upright below also smiled at the same time, and many of them agreed, "What the master of the hall is right, Gang Liao is indeed helpful, kind-hearted, and a great good person."
Liao Yongxiao first clasped his fists to Xiong Qi, and then smiled and said:
"It is natural to serve the Divine Cult. The Qingshui Gang will always be a loyal subordinate of the Lord of the Hall. The Eastern Sect Master will unify the world for thousands of years!"
Xiong Qi smiled and said nothing, nodded to Liao Yongxiao, and then opened the account book he sent.
What is recorded in the account book is the various expenses and income of Qingshuibang over the past year, including the expenses of buying salt at the beach, bribing imperial officials, and the final balance.
After reading it, Xiong Qi frowned.
The final account shows that the income of the Qingshui Gang last year was 560,000 taels of silver, and according to the rules of offering half of the Sun and Moon God Sect, it was 280,000 taels.
Twenty-eight thousand taels, this amount is not low, even in the eyes of the imperial government.
But Xiong Qi felt that it was not right, because he had read the past account books preserved by Qinglongtang. He remembered that the "filial piety" offered by Qingshui Gang last year was 300,000 taels, and this year it was 20,000 taels less.
"Lord Lord, this year, Shaanxi has suffered a severe drought, and the salt sold has been much less, so the income has been reduced by 20,000 taels!"
Liao Yongxiao below saw that Xiong Qi's expression was wrong and quickly explained.
"oh!"
Xiong Qi nodded. Last year, Shaanxi did experience a severe drought, which killed many people. It is normal for them to buy less salt in the year of disaster.
However, he still felt something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't ask again, nodded to Liao Yongxiao and said:
"Thank you for your hard work by Gang Liao!"
Liao Yongxiao quickly clasped his fists and said:
"It is all right to serve the Divine Cult and devote all your efforts. I dare not say that I have worked hard. The leader of the Eastern Cult will be unified in the world for thousands of years!"
After Liao Yongxiao, he was the other gang leader who met the standards of a first-level gang. The boss stepped forward and also handed Xiong Qi an account book that recorded the expenditure income of our gang over the past year.
An hour later, Xiong Qi finally finished reading the account books one by one, but did not find much difference.
Putting down the last account book, Xiong Qi raised his head and smiled at the more than ten gang leaders sitting in the conference hall:
"Everyone, I asked Yang to prepare a little wine for the first time when we met. Thank you for your hard work over the past year. I hope you don't dislike me!"
"I am better to obey orders than to be respectful to the Lord. The Eastern Master will be unified in the world for thousands of years!"
The crowd immediately stood up from their seats, smiled all over their faces, and bowed to Xiong Qi in unison.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xiong Qi laughed loudly, walked out of the table, reached out to everyone, said 'please', and then walked out first.
The four flag masters of Qinglong Hall, as well as the chief officer Ma Jun, also stood up with a smile, and bowed to everyone, saying "please" and then followed Xiong Qi behind him and walked outside the meeting hall with these gang leaders and bosses.
Of course, the banquet will not be set up in the conference hall, but in the living room not far from next door. The Lord of Qinglong Hall personally invites the banquet, and it is impossible for anyone to be dissatisfied with face.
