Finally, the thick account book on his lap turned to the last page. Lin Jue rubbed his eyes and closed the account book. Looking at the pile of account books on the table, Lin Jue frowned.
I won’t be able to finish it all, and I won’t be in a hurry.
"Move it back and lock it, and look back later. Master Tang has worked hard, and you guys have worked hard too. It's wrong to bother you guys to accompany me so early in the morning."
Master Tang hurriedly bowed and smiled and said: "Young Master, whatever you say, this is our responsibility. We are responsible for assisting the Young Master in managing the affairs and accounting. If the Young Master needs anything, we will be waiting for you at any time."
Lin Jue smiled and nodded. Master Tang waved his hand. Several masters came forward and carefully picked up the stacks of account books and walked to the back room and locked them in the cabinet again. They turned back and handed the key to Master Tang.
Carry it heavily in your arms.
"Sir, the tea has gone cold. Let me make you a new cup." Lu Wu tested the temperature of the tea cup with the back of her hand and said softly. Lin Jue came to the shipbuilding hall to be the steward, and Lu Wu naturally followed suit to serve the tea.
It is said that we have to eat here at noon, and Green Dance is indispensable.
"No, on a hot day, herbal tea will quench your thirst." Lin Jue picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then looked at the sky outside.
"What time is it?"
"Oh, sir, it should be almost Chen time." Lu Wu said.
"It's almost Chen time?" Lin Jue frowned, because he found that up to now, the hall was still empty. Last night, he asked the shopkeepers and managers to come here to discuss matters, but why didn't any of them come yet?
"Xiaohu, go and see if anyone is in the yard?" Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Lin Hu agreed, walked quickly to the door of the hall, looked into the yard, and came back after a while to report: "Seven or eight people came, and they were all standing under the shade of the trees."
Lin Jue's face brightened slightly, and he ordered: "Invite them to come in and sit down. Why are they standing outside? Master Tang, please get some stools for them to sit on."
Master Tang said: "There are so many stools. In the past, the shopkeepers and stewards would stand at the foot of the stairs to report things back and forth."
Lin Juexin said: Lin Ke is so impressive, he can just stand there, they are not even allowed to enter the hall.
"The past was before, and the present is now. I'll buy some chairs and stools for later use." Lin Jue ordered.
Master Tang responded repeatedly, and looked at Lin Jue with a strange kind look. This young master seemed to be a kind and gentle man, and the previous eldest master would not do this. But the problem is, the young master is so gentle, but he can
How can we control these shopkeepers?
Seven or eight shopkeepers were invited into the hall. They stepped forward to salute Lin Jue, and Lin Jue returned the salute with a smile. After a few words of greeting, they stood quietly in the corner and stopped talking. Lin Jue originally wanted to follow
They chatted casually, but a few of them seemed to have strange expressions and didn't want to talk much, so Lin Jue asked a few questions and then gave up.
The sky gradually became brighter, and more than ten shopkeepers and stewards arrived one after another and were invited into the hall. The expressions of these people were a little strange, and they all showed surprise when they met each other, and soon they all also
He stood silently in the hall without speaking.
Lin Jue drank the tea in sips, with a thoughtful expression on his face. He realized that something was wrong. The hour was approaching, and only less than half of the more than 40 Lin family shopkeepers and stewards had arrived. There must be something wrong.
Problem.
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!" The bell of the Serenity Temple in the south of the pier rang. It was the bell that the monks of the Serenity Temple ended their morning classes. The ringing of the bell also meant that the hour of the hour had arrived. Lin Jue was holding a tea cup.
He listened quietly to the sound of the bell until it stopped completely. He drank all the tea in the cup, spat out a piece of tea leaf with a sound and stood up.
More than 20 shopkeepers and stewards in the hall looked at Lin Jue blankly, some with pity on their faces. Others looked at Lin Jue's face carefully, wondering how Lin Jue was feeling.
Lin Jue came to the crowd expressionlessly, reached out and took out a piece of paper. On it was a list of more than forty shopkeepers who were supposed to be present.
"Gentlemen, shopkeepers and stewards, Chen's hour is here. I ask you all to arrive before Chen's hour. It seems that there are not enough people. Let's take a roll call." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
The shopkeepers and stewards were silent. They all knew what was going on. Most of them received a message from someone in the middle of the night last night. The message was that they were not allowed to come to the shipbuilding hall to meet the new chief steward today. These
People naturally understand who wants to do this. The internal disputes in the Lin family have made these shopkeepers and managers very embarrassed. Many people have made a decision after weighing the matter. They had to make a choice between the eldest son and Lin Jue.
Those who didn't come naturally thought that the two eldest sons could not be offended, but those who came followed their promise to the head of the family. Of course, some of them couldn't stand the actions of the second and third sons.
The roll call started, and Lin Jue read out the names one by one according to the names on the roster. Lin Jue who came here nodded and said hello, indicating that he knew each other. Lin Jue, who did not come, used a writing brush to write in front of their names.
A small check mark. After a moment, the roll call was over.
"There were supposed to be forty-six people today, but of the twenty-four people present now, there are still twenty-two people who are not here. Master Tang, was it the same situation when the eldest son convened to discuss things before?" Lin Jue looked at his hands.
the list asked softly.
Master Tang had a premonition that a storm was coming, so he stepped forward and whispered: "Master, this did not happen when the eldest son was alive. If you are unable to arrive occasionally, you have to ask for leave in advance."
Lin Jue nodded and said, "Did these people ask for leave? If so, Master Tang should know about it."
Master Tang sighed in his heart and said in a deep voice: "They did not come to ask for leave. If they did ask for leave, they would have passed through me first and I would have reported it to the chief manager."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "I understand. I didn't ask for leave and I was absent from the meeting. What's the reason? Who can tell me the reason?"
Everyone was silent, feeling a little sorry for Lin Jue. The young master was afraid that he was still in the dark about what the two eldest sons were doing secretly.
Lin Jue scanned the crowd and said in a deep voice: "What? Doesn't anyone know? Or maybe I didn't make it clear enough last night? I said Chen hour, do these people think it's noon hour? Maybe we should wait for them?"
One of the shopkeepers finally couldn't help but said: "Sir, don't wait any longer, they won't be able to come."
"Oh? Why is that?" Lin Jue tilted his head and asked.
"Hey! Boss, don't ask. I can't tell you even if you ask. In short, don't wait for them." The shopkeeper said.
Lin Jue nodded slowly and said: "I understand. It seems that waiting is in vain. Everyone, I am very happy that people like you can come. This shows that the shopkeepers and managers of my Lin family are still knowledgeable people. Lin Jue
Although I don’t know much about businessmen and I haven’t had any good contact with them, I still have some knowledge about business. As far as I know, the most important thing for business people is integrity. I don’t know if what I said is right.
"
"What the chief steward said is that the head of the family has always taught us to be honest, which is also one of the important mottos in the Lin family's business." Master Tang said softly.
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Very good. Honesty is one of the tenets of my Lin family's business. People who are dishonest are not worthy of working in my Lin family. Punctuality and honoring promises are a kind of integrity. Last night I said
It was clear and clear, and everyone agreed simply and simply, but at this moment, twenty-two people openly failed to show up. In my opinion, these are not honest people. In view of this, I have made the following decision."
Everyone looked at Lin Jue in surprise. They felt the sharp temperament bursting out of Lin Jue. Looking at Lin Jue's cold eyes, they had a premonition that something big was about to happen.
"Lin Song and Lin Run, as the brother-in-law of Lin's family, should be punctual and diligent, but these two people blatantly fail to show up and there is no reason. How can such people be trusted? Therefore, I declare that from now on, Lin
Song is no longer allowed to be in charge of the Lin Family Grain and Oil Store, and his position as the Donghe Shipping Branch and the Prime Minister of the three terminals are also terminated. Lin Run's position in charge of the Zhonghe Shipping Branch and the terminal dispatching are also relieved. It will take effect immediately after the handover."
"What?" Everyone present opened their eyes in surprise. They didn't expect that as soon as Lin Jue opened his mouth, he would attack the two young masters of the eldest house first. He stripped them of their positions and stripped them naked.
The shock continued, and Lin Jue's voice continued to ring: "Those who are not here today are Meng Yuandong, the shopkeeper of Linjia Clothing Store... Qi Deli, the shopkeeper of Beimen Grain Shop... Ma Yu, the shopkeeper of Xicheng Rice and Grain Shop, and Jiang Jiang, the shopkeeper of Xicheng Grain and Oil Shop.
Da'an...Wu Gang, the steward of Zhonghe Pier 9…Zhao Huanzhang, the steward of Donghe Pier 19…Li Mugen, the steward of Donghe Pier 21…"
Lin Jue named the names and positions of the twenty shopkeepers and managers who would attend the meeting in succession, and finally said solemnly: "All the above people will be dismissed. The wages will be settled immediately, and they will be handed over to their deputies immediately and packed up.
When you leave the Lin family, you are not allowed to delay and deny it. If there is any damage to property, you should be compensated for it, and it should be settled. Anyone who causes trouble should be reported to the official immediately."
"..."
"..."
All the people in the hall looked at Lin Jue dumbly, and a thought came to everyone's mind: "It's terrible, something is going to happen, something big is going to happen."
Master Tang's face turned pale and he stepped forward to persuade: "You can't be like this, big manager, you can't be like this. Such a large-scale personnel change cannot be hasty."
"Reckless? These people are acting like this today. They did it deliberately to embarrass me. They organized an organized fight against me and gave me a blow. Do you really think that I don't understand anything? You were all present last night. The head of the family and the second master called the names.
When I was asked to take over as the chief steward, I was told that everything would be up to me. I didn’t want to be the chief steward, but now that I have become the chief steward, even if it’s just for a day, I will never allow these people to be so arrogant and domineering. These people have betrayed the trust of the family leader.
, have lost the basic principles of being an employee of the Lin family, and are not suitable to stay in the Lin family anymore. They have brought this on themselves." Lin Jue shouted coldly.
"Something's going to happen, boss. If this happens, won't it start a riot? It won't be settled." Master Tang smacked his lips repeatedly.
Lin Jue sneered and said: "Can't stop it? Are they more difficult to deal with than pirates? I have faced tens of thousands of pirates and still come back unscathed. I can't cure them? Master Tang, don't say more. Shopkeepers
, I am very grateful that you can come. My Lin family needs you, so you can go back to work. Today I will promote some key members among you to take on important responsibilities. I hope you will do your job well, and my Lin family will not treat you badly."
