The Juxiang Building in Jingyuan Prefecture was the first one, and he had put a lot of thought into it at the beginning. It is adjacent to the Jingyuan River, so business has always been better than in other prefectures.
But even so, the net profit for a month is only around 5,000 taels. This Xing Yang is so bold that he dares to be greedy for so much.
If this continues, the greed will definitely increase. After all, how can it be so easy to stop?
When the account books are brought up for him to review, Gu Chengyu will also find out that there is a big difference between the money and previous years' accounts.
The accountants in various places cannot be ignored, and he has to find time to meet with them.
Gu Chengyu thought for a while, and when he returned to the capital, he would gather these accounting offices together and check the accounts together.
Although this method is troublesome, it is definitely effective to ask the accounting office of one state capital to check the account books of another state capital.
Gu Chengyu has always been clear about rewards and punishments. As long as the business of Juxiang Building in any state capital is good, Gu Chengyu will give another red envelope at the end of the year.
This will not only mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, but also supervise each other.
Having not seen these shopkeepers and accountants for so many years, it is inevitable that people's hearts will be agitated. Besides, in order to prevent similar things from happening, Gu Chengyu must give them a wake-up call.
Then put a few spies inside to keep an eye on the restaurants where you work and those in other states. As long as there are benefits, you won't be afraid that these people won't be tempted.
Previously, Gu Chengyu had focused all his energy on the imperial examinations and the court, and it was inevitable that he had been somewhat neglectful of business.
In the past two years, I have even become a hands-off shopkeeper. I only look at the accounts every year without putting any thought into it.
Money and silk can move people's hearts, but who can always maintain their original intention? Yu Pengzi has gained experience after traveling all over the country in these years, and it's not surprising that he has ideas in his heart.
Gu Chengyu rubbed his forehead, "Can't you just calm down? There are still too few people to use, you have to buy people quickly, talent is so rare!"
"Shop Manager Xing, I'll give you another chance. If you recruit me honestly, I can still be accommodating."
Gu Chengyu looked at the unrecognizable Xing Yang with a cold expression.
Shopkeeper Xing felt relieved. Is his boss still willing to forgive him?
"My boss, what Accountant Ding said is true. I knew that day that Manager Yu was going to the neighboring state capital and would not be returning to Jingyuan Prefecture in a short time, so he took the risk."
Xing Yang paused and gasped in pain as he spoke.
After he calmed down a bit, Xing Yang continued: "My boss, just send someone to find out. I have given Yang's brother more than a thousand taels of silver, and the rest of the money is here."
Gu Chengyu nodded, he believed that Xing Yang would not dare to lie at this time.
"What did Manager Yu say to you before he left? Is it your own idea to make money, or is it someone else's idea?"
Gu Chengyu didn't hide his purpose. He wouldn't keep Xing Yang anyway. As for Accountant Ding, he held the contract in his hand, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
I believe these two people must understand the meaning of his words.
Xing Yang was stunned, what did the boss mean by this? Could it be that he was suspicious of Manager Yu?
He suddenly had an idea in his mind. If he pushed this matter onto Manager Yu, then he would be able to atone for his sins, right?
As long as Manager Yu takes the blame, his boss will definitely give him a lighter punishment. As for Manager Yu being wronged, what does it matter?
As long as the boss is willing to believe it, or even have a hint of doubt, then his guilt will be lighter.
Even if Manager Yu comes to clarify this matter in the end, the boss will only think that Manager Yu is quibbling.
Xing Yang opened his mouth to push Manager Yu out to take the blame, but his hesitation just now was seen by Gu Chengyu.
"You have to think clearly before talking. I don't think you want to suffer these physical pains anymore. If you let me know that you have a lie, I will let you know what life is worse than death."
"I have my own way to verify whether what you said is true or false. When Manager Yu came to Jingyuan Mansion, he must have someone with him. I can verify what he said to you, whether anyone was there at the time, and whether you had any contact in private.
."
With these words, Xing Yang swallowed back what he was about to blurt out, and he hesitated again. If he was really found out by his boss, wouldn't he have to walk around without food again?
Gu Chengyu snorted coldly, "Aren't you still honest? It seems that you haven't suffered enough yet!"
"Ming Yan! Let shopkeeper Xing wake up again." Gu Chengyu was about to lose his patience. Some people have to suffer a little before they can tell the truth.
When Xing Yang heard this, he was so frightened that he lost all his senses. He quickly shook his head and shouted: "My boss! My boss! Don't worry, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
However, Gu Chengyu was impatient to listen to his nonsense. As long as he was given some lessons, he would definitely tell the truth.
"ah"
Accountant Ding tried his best to shrink his neck, wishing he didn't exist.
He had never thought that this young boss was so scary. He shrank his stiff back, and Accountant Ding tried his best to stop listening to the screams that reached his ears.
"Sir! The person has fainted." Ming Yan pulled Xing Yang's hair, looked at the other person's eyelids, and found that he had fainted.
Gu Chengyu frowned, "Pull him outside and pour cold water on him to wake him up."
Accountant Ding swallowed his saliva and refused to let go even if he fainted. He was originally a small accountant, but he was betrayed by his original employer because he made a mistake.
But he has never seen such a battle, and he still feels that his original employer was kind to him.
Gu Chengyu turned around and glanced at Counter Ding who was standing aside blankly. Seeing a look of fear on his face, he knew that he had achieved his goal of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
This would really frighten Accountant Ding, so Gu Chengyu planned to give him a sweet date.
He took the account book kept by Ding's accountant and found that it was the same as the accountant Xu's account he had just seen.
When Accountant Ding saw Gu Chengyu looking through his account books, his heart suddenly rose to his throat. Could it be that his boss was looking for fault in him now?
Will it be his turn after Shopkeeper Xing? Accountant Ding felt anxious.
"Not bad!" Gu Chengyu nodded, using the accounting method he taught before.
Separating expenditures and entries into accounts, although B numbers are not used, is much more convenient than the original accounting method.
It turned out that he saw that the accounting office kept daily running accounts together, and the expenditures and incomes were so messed up that it was confusing.
Accountant Ding felt relieved after hearing this. Does this mean he remembered it well?
"I remember the account books quite clearly. It's rare that you didn't collude with Shopkeeper Xing."
Compared with his accounting skills, Gu Chengyu was more concerned about the fact that the accountant's office was not occupied by gold and silver, so he got involved in this matter.
Even if they didn't tell Accountant Ding about this, Gu Chengyu could guess it. Otherwise, Xing Yang wouldn't be able to open Accountant Ding.
"How dare a villain do such a thing? I have been unable to contact my boss before, and there is no way to explain it. Accountant Xu also quarreled with shopkeeper Xing about the account books. Maybe he has also discovered that the accounts are wrong, otherwise he would not be punished.
