Regardless of Lei Hu's plans, developing Zhongyi Tang's business is his top priority at this time.
Everything you do requires money, and Lei Hu doesn't want to live a hard life where Baba can hardly find any oil or water, so he must help Zhongyi Hall develop well, at least to earn enough capital to be popular and popular.
Qin Bao became the head of the Loyalty Hall, and Lei Hu naturally had no secrets about the various incomes of the Loyalty Hall. He could easily know the detailed information if he wanted to.
Zhongyi Tang's main income is protection fees, plus the security fees for brothels, gambling houses and opium dens at most. It is not a problem for Zhongyi Tang to have enough food for everyone, but it is impossible to make too much savings.
Originally, there was no problem with this kind of income to support the operation and security of Zhongyi Hall. However, the quality of some of the brothers at the hall was really bad. They often came to extort money and even robbed unscrupulously even after receiving protection fees.
Not only that, the situation of all kinds of petty theft was very serious, causing many businessmen and people to complain and feel very disgusted with the gang members. If they were not incapable of resisting, they would have become extremely noisy.
These are not excuses for Lei Hu to interfere with Tang Kou's income. He himself needs a lot of money to supplement his physical needs.
From his modern point of view, the territory controlled by Zhongyi Tang has great potential, or in other words, not even half of its economic potential has been developed.
"Brother Bao, do you want to make more money?"
After finding out the income situation of Zhongyi Hall, Lei Hu went straight to Qin Bao without stopping and asked bluntly.
"Who doesn't like free money?"
Qin Bao has been in a good mood recently. He has secured his position as the leader of the Loyalty Hall. The number of his subordinates has increased rapidly. The increased territory has brought more income. Not to mention his life is more prosperous than before.
Hearing Lei Hu say this, he was surprised and said: "It's just that the protection fee we have collected is enough. If we increase it any more, I'm afraid it will cause a violent backlash!"
"Am I that kind of person?"
Lei Hu smiled bitterly and said angrily: "I just think we can slightly change our business methods and we should be able to make more money without causing resentment among the business people!"
"Oh, Ahu, if you have any ideas, tell me quickly!"
His eyes lit up, and Qin Bao couldn't wait to ask. He seemed to feel that his attitude was a bit too much. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "There are so many brothers under my command, and the territory is so big. It is extremely troublesome to take care of all aspects. If I had more money on hand,
, there’s a lot of room for maneuver!”
"I see!"
Lei Hu smiled and said, does the butt determine the head? Now that Qin Bao is the leader of the Loyalty Hall, there are many more things to consider. Whether it is opening up connections with the government or bribing his subordinates to work hard, the more money on hand, the better.
He did not sell any keywords, but expressed his thoughts one by one. In short, he used modern management methods to manage Zhongyi Hall's subordinates and territory so that resources could be utilized to the maximum extent.
Zhongyi Hall now has about a hundred young men, all of whom are young and strong. In Lei Hu's eyes, this is a very good human resource.
But obviously, Qin Bao found it difficult to understand his modern management theory, and asked with hesitation: "Is this really effective?"
If it hadn't been Lei Hu who made the suggestion, I'm afraid he would have slapped him in the face. Are you trying to fool him? Do you really think that the dignified leader of the Loyalty Hall is a simpleton?
"It's definitely going to work. It just depends on Brother Bao if he's willing to be ruthless in rectifying it!"
Lei Hu said solemnly with a serious face, "Besides, even if the management method is changed, even if it has no effect in the end, it won't have much impact on Zhongyi Hall. If it doesn't work, it will be restored to its original state!"
"Well, Ahu, just give it a try. If anyone is disobedient, just kill him!"
Qin Bao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Just as Lei Hu said, it's just a different management method. No matter how bad the situation is, it won't be much worse.
With the approval of Qin Bao, the leader of the Zhongyi Hall, in the next half month, under the command of Lei Hu, the entire Zhongyi Hall underwent stunning changes.
Lei Hu first rectified the interior of Zhongyi Hall, and he was ruthless.
Thanks to the heavy losses suffered by Zhongyi Hall before, there were not many old people left, and the newly joined younger brothers had not yet fully established themselves and did not dare to mess around. Faced with Lei Hu's sudden and ruthless crackdown, there was no fierce resistance.
All the old men in the market, as well as the green-skinned bastards with numerous criminal records, are strictly prohibited from going out to mess around, and they will not be lenient when they find someone repairing them.
As for the collection of protection fees, all matters were left to the young men recently recruited from Qin Bao's hometown village.
Speaking of this, I have to thank the village chief for his serious lack of prestige, otherwise it would not be easy for Qin Bao to recruit more than ten or twenty young men from the village. You must know that the local clans in the Chancheng area are quite powerful.
Once the elders of the clan object fiercely, the young and strong members of the clan must be honest and obedient, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
It is precisely with the nearly twenty young men from his hometown as his confidants, as well as the support of a fierce and famous master like Lei Hu, that Qin Bao's position as the leader of the Loyalty Hall can be secure.
The boys of Zhongyi Hall, who were strictly restrained, formed several combat teams based on different regions to deal with emergencies. Their biggest role was to watch the scene and fight with other gang members.
Soon, the merchants and people on Zhongyitang's territory felt changes that were different from before.
The Zhongyi Tang thugs who came to collect protection fees were no longer aggressive and demanding. Instead, they all had simple smiles on their faces and friendly attitudes. Even though the businessmen and civilians who came to the door had to pay out of pocket, they finally felt a lot better mentally.
There are those businessmen and civilians who bully the weak and fear the strong, or are extremely stingy and reluctant to pay. As soon as they see the unhappy-looking green-skinned gangster following not far away, they give up the idea of not paying.
These are just normal gang income businesses. Even if Lei Hu turned them into the so-called "smile doorstep", which reduced the disgust of many businessmen and people, it did not increase the gang's income.
The next changes are Leihu's real means of increasing income.
There are suddenly many cleaning figures on the streets of Zhongyi Hall. If you take a closer look, you will find that these guys with brooms are all the subordinates of Zhongyi Hall who have been disabled for various reasons. They have lost their combat effectiveness, and even
Even normal life is quite difficult.
Lei Hu organized them to clean the streets and gave them a fixed salary, which gave them a stable source of living. Both the Zhongyi brothers themselves and their families were very happy and hurriedly promised to do things well and not be called Lord Tiger.
So disappointed.
"You earned this with your sweat and hard work. There is no need for this!"
Lei Hu smiled lightly and waved his hands, not feeling confused because of this...
Next, the business people who thought that the Zhongyi Hall gangsters had changed their style and were about to start doing good deeds knew that they were awesome. When the Zhongyi Hall thugs with a smile on their faces came to collect a small amount of "sanitary management fees", they suddenly exploded.
Got the pot.
As expected, dogs can’t change their habit of eating shit!
In other words, some businessmen did not want to get into trouble, so they pinched their noses and paid the sanitation management fee of twenty coppers per month. The rest of the businessmen and ordinary people who did not pay suffered disaster. Every day, garbage piles in front of their homes and shops emitted noise.
The strange stench was disgusting and unpleasant, and the merchants and people who were tortured to death finally had to bow their heads.
Later, there were also transportation and logistics fleets organized by Zhongyi Tang, as well as a powerful tool to help business people negotiate with government officials. Zhongyi Tang’s income increased significantly and it also received praise from some business people and people...
