Lei Hu took action and helped Zhongyi Hall increase its income by at least 40% in a few moments without causing public dissatisfaction. This method was praised by all the brothers below Qin Bao, the leader of Zhongyi Hall.
"Where is this? What we did before was just tapping internal potential. What will come next will be the bulk of our income!"
Unceremoniously taking the hundred taels of red silver from Qin Bao, Lei Hu opened his mouth with a smile and unhurriedly dropped another big bomb.
There is still a way to make money, and it’s still a big deal?
After hearing this, all the senior officials of Zhongyi Hall were stunned at first, and then their faces were all flushed with excitement.
"The next goal is the dock!"
Lei Hu said with confidence: "As long as we take control of the management of the dock, a lot of money will roll in, and that will be called making a lot of money!"
I thought I would win cheers and cheers from the senior officials of Zhongyi Hall, but I didn't expect that the surrounding area was silent.
Turning around, he saw the embarrassment and helplessness on Qin Bao's face. The other senior executives also looked like this, and there were even one or two who didn't like Lei Hu, showing full contempt and disdain.
"What's wrong with Brother Bao? As far as I know, there are no gangs controlling the dock!"
Confused, Lei Hu spoke directly without being polite at all: "If you really do what I say, after taking control of the management of the dock, we will be able to get no less than five thousand taels or more every year!"
tear……
When they heard a figure like five thousand taels, all the senior officials of Zhongyi Hall gasped. The expressions on their faces were very complicated, showing both greed for money and fear.
Qin Bao's eyes flashed with undisguised greed, but in the end all the greed disappeared, replaced by full of depression and pain, he said helplessly: "Ahu, it's not that we can't take over the management of the dock, it's just that there are foreigners there.
It’s not easy to mess with our territory!”
Speaking of foreigners, a trace of fear and fear flashed in his eyes. The other senior officials of Zhongyi Hall also had the same look. They were obviously afraid of foreigners to the core.
Wocao, how did you forget about the foreigners’ troubles?
Lei Hu suddenly understood what Qin Bao and the others were worried about, and this kind of worry was very necessary.
In the past life, China had become one of the world's biggest gangsters. The fear and apprehension of foreigners in the Chinese people's hearts gradually disappeared, and they were able to face competition and threats from foreigners calmly and were not timid against foreigners.
Lei Hu also had the same mentality. Even though this was the time when the foreigners were at the height of their arrogance, he was not very afraid.
The information explosion in later generations has made the information surface and information available to ordinary people extremely rich. They know who the great powers are at this time and also know their approximate strength in the Far East.
Just because he knew this information that people in the late Qing Dynasty absolutely didn't know, Lei Hu didn't have much fear of the so-called great powers. Of course, he still had the necessary fear. If he really faced him, he could still attack brazenly, unlike the people at this time.
He was so fearful and awe that he didn't even have the courage to use force.
Those historical information will not be wordy. After Lei Hu learned about the specific concerns of the hall leader Qin Bao and others, he became very concerned about the affairs of the foreigners, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Bao, don't worry, I'll take care of this!"
He already had vague ideas in his mind on how to proceed, but Lei Hu didn't want to tell him directly, lest he worry the hall leader Qin Bao and others and ruin his plan.
In the end, Qin Bao agreed to let Lei Hu give it a try, mainly because the benefits of five thousand taels of silver per year were too huge, and he really couldn't bear to give it up.
Of course, he also reminded Lei Hu that if things were forced to go against him, he would stop immediately and it would not be a big deal if he had to put everything else aside to save his life.
Five thousand taels of silver is nothing to a real wealthy businessman, but it is definitely a huge sum of money to the poor Zhongyi Tang, and it is so tempting to have such a large income every year.
Otherwise, even if Qin Bao is killed, he will not agree to let Lei Hu take the risk.
As for the other senior officials of Zhongyi Hall, they may have other thoughts in their hearts. They may wish that Lei Hu would hit his head and bleed out, or even die at the hands of foreigners.
Even if he was lucky enough not to die at the hands of foreigners, as long as he offended foreigners, the accountability from the government would not be something that Lei Hu could easily bear.
If Qin Bao loses Lei Hu, a powerful helper, the position of the leader of the Loyalty Hall may change hands.
Lei Hu didn't care about the thoughts and ideas of the senior officials of Zhongyi Hall. He quickly used successful actions to tell those guys with bad intentions to stop dreaming if they wanted to see his jokes.
I don’t know how Lei Hu did it. In short, it didn’t take half a month for this guy to get in touch with the foreigners on the dock and use the foreigners’ names to get the management rights of the dock.
Lei Hu didn't care about so many people. He hired nearly a hundred brothers from Zhongyi Hall and spent a full month to manage to get the dock in order and plan and implement a new management system.
After doing this, the money was pouring in like water. Lei Hu unceremoniously withdrew 30% of it as terminal management and operation funds, and the rest of the income was handed over to Qin Bao. He did not go to Zhongyi Hall's public account and asked Yigan to share the benefits.
The guy could only stare.
They don't have the guts to mess around. If they want to get a share of the huge profits of the dock, they still need Lei Hu's permission and help, otherwise they will not get any benefit at all.
After doing all this, Lei Hu let go of the specific affairs and only did the general supervision. The rest of his thoughts were focused on improving his own strength.
Although almost two months have passed, he still has not forgotten the depression of being taken down by Huang Feihong at Xiangfu Teahouse that day.
In the martial arts world of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Huang Feihong was not considered the most powerful martial artist. He could not even defeat Huang Feihong. It is conceivable that if he went to the north where martial arts masters gathered, he would be able to suppress him in boxing and kicking skills.
There must be many of them!
Every time I think of this, I can't help but feel a strong sense of crisis in my heart.
He has little interest in increasing the power of Zhongyi Tang. Besides, the late Qing Dynasty does not allow him to mess around. If he fails, Zhongyi Tang will be destroyed.
At this time, the Qing government has not yet completely collapsed. The old lady who has been in charge of "my Qing Dynasty" for decades is still alive and well. The situation in the world has not yet reached an irreversible point. The consequences of being reckless will not be good.
Wonderful, he is not ready to flee abroad yet.
Right now, I have a little bit of power, but I don't have any shortage of money. It's time to calm down and slowly improve my own strength.
As long as his martial arts skills are strong enough, he can become famous no matter where he goes. Besides, after traveling back in time, his physical fitness will be fully improved. It would be a waste if he doesn't develop and utilize it properly. He also wants to see his own martial arts skills.
