Half an hour later, the owners of the major casinos, brothels, restaurants, and inns in Happy Forest gathered in the lobby of Zuiyue Tower, greeting each other with bitter looks on their faces.
It's normal for people who run a business like theirs to pay regular money to the gang every month, but have you ever seen someone who pays it three times a month?
At the beginning of this month, Happy Forest originally belonged to the Qingzhu Gang, and they had already crossed paths once.
As a result, just after paying the fee, the Flying Eagle Gang took over Happy Forest.
Let Liu Sandao's greedy guy plunder it for a while, which is enough for them. Now Su Xin is here, and he is probably going to bleed again.
"Boss Liu, Boss Huang, you are here early today. Have you ever asked about what kind of person this Boss Su is?" someone asked the two bosses sitting in the front row.
Among these businessmen, the richest one is Boss Liu who runs a brothel, and Zuiyue Tower is his property.
Next is Boss Huang, who runs a casino. His Shunde Casino ranks among the top five in the entire Changning Mansion.
Although Boss Liu runs a brothel, he has a good appearance, elegant and upright.
Although he is middle-aged, at first glance, he looks like a Confucian scholar teaching in an academy, not a brothel owner who sells skin and flesh.
As for Boss Huang, he was short and fat. Although he looked like a rich man, his face showed bitterness and hatred.
His gambling house was making a lot of money every day, and it had been severely robbed by Liu Sandao before. He didn't know how Su Xin was going to plunder it this time.
So in the face of everyone's inquiries, Boss Liu smiled and said nothing, but Boss Huang said viciously: "Who knows what kind of virtue he is? Anyway, he is not a good person. I heard that he just crippled the owner of Wangji Pharmacy."
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this. This new boss didn't seem to be an easy character to get along with.
However, they were not worried that Su Xin would take action against them. Their identities were different from that of Fatty Wang who opened the medicine shop.
Their family has a big business, and they have hundreds of people who eat with them, so they are considered to be prominent figures in the Chang Ning Mansion.
If the Flying Eagle Gang dared to kill and maim them at will, the impact would be too great, and the government would not sit idly by.
"Boss Su is here!"
The gang members outside the door sang, immediately interrupting the bosses' random thoughts.
Seeing the young and handsome Su Xin walking into the lobby, all the bosses felt a little awkward.
It's true that Su Xin is a little too young, and it feels very awkward to ask them to call such a young man who is less than twenty years old "boss".
But even if it was awkward, they could only endure it. Su Xin was now not only the little boss in charge of Happy Forest, but also the adopted son of Third Master Hu.
Behind him were Ji Gang and the cold-faced Li Huai, whom Mr. Hu gave to Su Xin to support him.
"Bosses, I am Su Xin, who is the new boss of Happy Forest. I would like to ask you to take good care of me."
Su Xin sat down at the main seat, with a smile on his face, and cupped his hands to everyone, looking friendly.
The bosses secretly glanced at Boss Huang. This Boss Su looks pretty good. He is not as cruel as you said. At least he is much better than the last Liu Sandao.
Liu Sandao had been frustrated for so many years, but once he came to power, he became a villain and his attitude was very arrogant.
"Haha, Boss Su, you're welcome. From now on, we will have to rely on you, Boss Su, to protect us." Boss Liu from Zuiyue Tower also responded with a smile.
"Boss Liu, you're too polite. As the saying goes, taking people's money to eliminate disasters, and taking your money, how can we, the Flying Eagle Gang, let others bully you?"
Upon hearing Su Xin's words, the bosses couldn't help but secretly think, are others bullying us? Thank God if your Flying Eagle Gang doesn't bully us.
Having said this, Su Xin suddenly changed the topic and said: "Speaking of the customs fee, I really have something to discuss with you today."
Hearing what Su Xin said, all the bosses secretly thought in their hearts: We are finally getting to the point.
In fact, they also thought about what Su Xin wanted to do by gathering them all today. It was just for one word: money.
As the saying goes, one emperor has one courtier. In the past, when the Qingzhu Gang managed Happy Forest, this amount was thirty taels a month.
Later, Liu Sandao was replaced, and it became fifty taels.
Now Su Xin is here. Although this boss Su looks young and kind, he probably has a big appetite.
Boss Huang said angrily: "Boss Su, the rules of your Eagle Gang are really strange. The rules that were just set at the beginning of the month must be changed now?"
His Shunde gambling house was making a lot of money every day, and it was severely exploited by Liu Sandao some time ago.
Therefore, he was also the most sensitive to the word "liangqian", so he couldn't help but make fun of it.
But after saying that, he felt a little regretful. After all, the other party was the small leader of the Flying Eagle Gang and was in charge of Happy Forest.
Although you can't do anything to him on the surface, it's still very simple to secretly disgust him and even make him unable to continue his business in Happy Forest.
The simplest thing is to have a few gang members stand at the door of his gambling house and chase away people when they see them. Within three days, his gambling house will be closed down.
Fortunately, Su Xin didn't argue with him. He just glanced at him and continued: "The rules are set by people. He Liu Sandao can set them. Why can't I, Su Xin? I will decide now.
I’ll give you all your money for free!”
As soon as Su Xin said these words, everyone was stunned.
If you don't want money, what will Su Xin and his men eat and drink?
The Flying Eagle Gang does not pay monthly money to its gang members. The money in the hands of these gang members is all mixed up with their respective bosses, and the boss is responsible for paying it to them.
If there was no money for the procedure, Su Xin's sixty or seventy-year-old men would die in less than three days.
Boss Liu chuckled and said, "Boss Su is really good at joking."
Su Xin shook his head: "I'm not joking. I don't plan to ask for the money from the next procedure, but I plan to collect it in another way."
As soon as they heard what Su Xin said, everyone understood, and at the same time they also felt a little disdain for Su Xin.
Just changing the soup but not the medicine, what are you doing with those useless things? Do you think that changing the method will make you stand out?
"Boss Su, please explain how." Boss Liu continued knowingly.
Su Xin stood up and said: "It's very simple. What I want is 10% of the shares in your business and one cent of dividends every month."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was stunned.
No one expected that Su Xin's appetite was so big, and he would eat 10% of the food when he opened his mouth.
With such a huge appetite, it would be an advantage to call him a lion!
Ji Gang, who was standing behind Su Xin, still had the usual smile on his face, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Huai, on the other hand, showed no expression at all, with his dead face straightened, as if he had not heard what Su Xin said.
Huang Bingcheng, who was guarding the door, was secretly anxious.
Su Xin, who came before, didn't reveal anything to him. If he knew that Su Xin was doing this, he would definitely stop him.
"Boss Su, are you kidding me?" Boss Liu forced out a smile.
These stores, especially casinos and brothels, can even earn more than 10,000 taels of net profit per month at their best.
Calculated in this way, 10% of dry shares is equivalent to one thousand taels, which is equivalent to the amount increased dozens of times than before. This is simply cutting their flesh with a knife!
Boss Huang even snorted coldly: "Boss Su, as the saying goes, a man's heart is not enough and a snake swallows an elephant. I, Old Huang, have been living in Changning Mansion for so many years, and I have never heard of such a rule! Even the strongest among the three gangs and four societies.
The Three Heroes Society, but they haven’t taken any shares from us!”
If Su Xin does this, it will have the greatest impact on him.
Because his Shunde gambling house made the most money, he naturally took out more money than other businesses.
Su Xin pressed his hand and signaled everyone to be calm.
"Everyone, listen to me first. I don't care if you collect dry shares for nothing, but I have a way to double your monthly profits."
After hearing what Su Xin said, everyone curled their lips, obviously not believing it.
Boss Huang was even more sinister and said: "Hey, Boss Su still has this ability? I, Mr. Huang, have been in the shopping mall for decades, but I don't dare to say this."
Su Xin ignored him, but looked at Boss Liu and asked: "Boss Liu, I heard that your Zuiyue Building used to be the largest and most luxurious brothel in Chang Ning Mansion. I don't know why it is not as good as the ones in the center of Chang Ning Mansion.
A brothel?"
Boss Liu gave a wry smile and explained: "It's not because of the trouble of moving the capital. In the past, when Changning Mansion was the capital, the central Changdefang and several other cities and towns were all located in the imperial city. You have to pay attention to your face.
, casinos and brothels are all prohibited.
Because of this, everyone opened gambling houses, brothels and other places in Changlefang, which was on the edge, for the children of the powerful, wealthy businessmen, etc. to have fun. Even the name Changlefang came from this.
However, after His Majesty moved the capital, Changning Mansion was no longer so particular, and several large gambling houses and brothels gradually appeared in Changdefang and other places.
The situation on both sides is similar, so everyone naturally chooses a place closer to home instead of riding a carriage for half an hour to come to Changlefang.
If it weren't for some nostalgic guests who come to play frequently, I'm afraid Changlefang wouldn't even be able to keep the last Happy Forest."
Many bosses present also nodded. They all came from that era and naturally knew what was going on.
It can be said that their success was because of Changlefang, and their failure was also because of Changlefang.
After the Zhou Dynasty moved its capital, some smart people had already bought land and built buildings in Changdefang and other cities close to the center. By the time they realized it, there was no land left to build even a hut.
Su Xin sat down, tapped the table with his fingers rhythmically, and said, "Boss Liu said in great detail that the decline of Changlefang is basically due to two words: region.
Because of the geographical distance, when the scale and decoration of both parties are the same, it is rare for customers to choose the far away place. If this is the case, then why don't we think about reform?"
"Reform? What reform?"
Boss Huang scoffed: "The current scale of our stores is almost the largest in Changning Mansion. Even if we invest more money in decoration, it will only be slightly better.
With such a small advantage, we simply cannot attract a large number of customers, and by then we may not even be able to earn back the decoration money!"
Su Xin shook his head: "I'm not talking about re-decorating, but reorganizing Happy Forest from the perspective of service."
Serve?
Many bosses present looked at each other, feeling a little unfamiliar with this term.
"There are many gambling houses, brothels, restaurants, and inns in our Happy Forest. To put it bluntly, we only provide four services for our guests: food, drink, and entertainment.
But what we are doing now is not enough, and we have not allowed our guests to experience the most convenient service.
When customers gamble in a gambling house, if they are accompanied by a girl, I believe they will be more bold when placing their bets.
If you win, the girls will be rewarded with money. If you lose, the girls will give you soft words to persuade them to regain their fighting spirit.
And when you are tired of gambling, the wine and food in this restaurant can be served at any time, at your call.
At the end of the game, I feel tired and exhausted. There is an inn behind me, so I won’t be in a hurry to go home. I just stay in Happy Forest.
So my idea is to break up all the stores in Happy Forest and reorganize them so that each gambling house is surrounded by a brothel, a tavern and an inn.
Whatever the customer wants to do, it can be done in the shortest possible time.”
After Su Xin finished speaking, many bosses present were stunned, and then they all slapped their thighs. How come they hadn't thought of this idea!
In fact, some customers have done this before, first going to a brothel to find a bunch of girls and then going to a gambling house to have fun.
But only some very generous customers would do this.
After all, Happy Forest is a long street, and it takes a quarter of an hour to walk from one side to the other. When girls go on a long trip, the price will be doubled.
Boss Huang's Shunde Gambling House is so popular not only because of its large scale, but also because it is next to Zuiyue Tower.
In fact, Su Xin's trick is not new. Many large foreign casinos operated this way in previous lives. To put it simply, there are only four words: Customers come first.
The many bosses present have been operating in the shopping mall for so many years, and none of them are stupid. Su Xin just mentioned it, and they understood.
Boss Liu asked cautiously: "In that case, some of our stores need to be moved to another location?"
Su Xin nodded and said: "That's true, but the land in Happy Forest has been planned in advance, and they are all about the same size. You won't suffer any loss if you exchange them. The only difference between your stores is the decoration.
Your family has a big business, so you can still afford the money for redecoration, and the items in the original store can be moved to the new store. I think you can afford this money."
The bosses thought about it and were all a little moved.
If it's just for decoration, you're just throwing money into it and you won't even get it back.
But if Su Xin's plan is added, it is very possible to turn around.
Huang Bingcheng, who was standing next to Su Xin, quickly handed a cup of tea to Su Xin's hand.
He is very impressed by this boss now, his business acumen is so sharp, if he goes into business, he might even be able to turn all the bosses present into a scam.
Ji Gang, who was standing behind Su Xin, also looked shocked. It seemed that he still underestimated Su Xin.
