Novel Bin Chapter 464 Decent way
She didn’t expect to any courtyard dwelling available now, because she might not be able to afford even when she had a lot of money in her hands. It was definitely more expensive.
Also those with courtyard dwelling, which one of them would be short of money? Why would they sell it under normal circumstances?
The courtyard dwelling she bought last time was almost impossible to encounter.
So this was giving a heads-up to the administrator first. The female administrator last time, leave her be. With so many properties, it can’t be under the hands of one person. So the effect wasn’t much.
What’s more, she was busy and Zhou Qing Bai had his business.. It was impossible to come over every now and then.
Although they had bought a top-level double-entry dwelling which covered an area of more than 800 square meters, Lin Qing He’s appetite wasn’t satisfied with one double-entry dwelling.
So Lin Qing He could only ask the administrator to come over and notify them.
After buying the two shops, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went home.
Lin Qing He said on the road: "That shop is still a bit small. Is there any way to create a living space?"
"Yes." Zhou Qing Bai replied.
It was indeed possible. Just cost some money. The floor area was only 40 square meters or so. It was no problem spare out 20 square meter to build a narrow single room with a complete small bathroom and a small kitchen for eating.
During this age, people lived like this, without so much debate.
And it cost a lot of money to renovate this.
But he didn’t mind this anymore. Zhou Qing Bai went to the dumpling shop. Lin Qing He made way to the men’s shop to find Ma Cheng Min.
The two people that Ma Cheng Min brought over were busy here. They were waiting for her. Both of them were girls.
After checking them out, Lin Qing He spoke: "Trial for two days first. Stay if you pass."
Ma Cheng Min must have told them about the treatment, so she won’t go into more details.
So she sent them both across the street to the women’s clothing store that Zhou Er Ni watched over. Not long later, Zhou Er Ni arrived.
"You keep one here. The other go to Shan Shan’s side." Lin Qing He said.
"I still have Si Ni on my side," Zhou Er Ni mentioned.
Before it was her and another girl in the shop. Now Si Ni came over. With an addition of one more, the shop had four.
"I plan to arrange Si Ni to go over to Cheng Yang and Cheng Yue’s beverage shop." Lin Qing He said.
Zhou Er Ni nodded when she heard this. Lin Qing He continued: "Go back to work and call Si Ni to come over. I’m taking her over there in a bit."
There were three clothing shops so far. Zhou Er Ni’s side got three people. Chen Shan Shan’s side also had three people. Once Si Ni go over, there will be also three people at the beverage shop.
Three people took turns in watching in each shop. Which was perfect. The manpower arrangement was much more relaxed.
The men’s shop got Hu Zi, Gang Zi, and Ma Cheng Min. Although Ma Cheng Min had to take care of a lot, as long as he didn’t need to go out, he came to the shop to keep watch.
He was very conscientious. After all, unless he went out to do it alone, it would be hard to find the salary and treatment Lin Qing He given.
Lin Qing He told Ma Cheng Min about opening a dry good shop.
Ma Cheng Min was shocked. Opened another shop? But he quickly reacted and responded, "Need renovation?"
"En. You can leave here to Hu Zi and Gang Zi here. You can go to the dumpling shop and find Qing Bai. He will tell you how to decorate it." Lin Qing He nodded.
When Zhou Si Ni came over, Lin Qing He took Zhou Si Ni to the beverage shop.
Zhou Si Ni was impressed: "Fourth Aunt, you are too incredible."
Only when she came here did she know how many shops her uncle and aunt had. So many shops! She couldn’t take in enough!
Lin Qing He smiled: "What’s so incredible about this? The pressure to feed the workers isn’t small."
Adding it up now, how many people were working under her? Of course, the benefits created by her were generous. However, last night she was too tired to go home and didn’t have time to check. Still, she knew that the business was definitely better.
Si Ni was a nickname. Her proper name was Zhou Hong Xia. When she was introduced to Cheng Yang and Cheng Yue, her proper name was used.
"Once Hong Xia catch on, I will get Cheng Min to arrange a more standardized work schedule." Lin Qing He said.
There wasn’t enough manpower before, so they made do. However, it was time to learn to standardize, and follow the shift system of later generations. Working hours were shortened and more relaxed. After all, they were at this age. Got to let them have their own time to go date or something.
She didn’t oppress and exploit labor.
Leaving Si Ni here, Lin Qing He went back and came over to the dumpling shop.Only the youngest. Zhou Gui Lai was working hard without complain.
"Mom, I heard my dad talk with Uncle Cheng Min. What kind of dry good shop is our family going to open?" Zhou Gui Lai asked when he saw her.
"Your dad took your Uncle Cheng Min over?" Lin Qing He asked.
"En. Just left." Zhou Gui Lai nodded.
Lin Qing He said, "Where is our account book?"
"It’s in your room." Zhou Gui Lai replied: "Second Brother managed it. It should be sorted out right."
Lin Qing He let him busy away and went home to look at the ledgers.
The accounts managed by Second were indeed undoubted excellent. At a glance, the income of almost two months wasn’t low at all.
Especially the beverage shop. The income hit a new high. Its monthly income exceeded two thousand. This was just the beverage shop alone and the monthly income reached such a figure. It can be seen how popular the beverage, ice cream and the like were this summer. It was high in demand. Basically they had to get supplies every day and fill three of the four large freezers with ice cream popsicles.
The last one was used to chill drinks. Basically there wasn’t enough to sell. Many people say that the drinks weren’t chilled enough. It can’t be helped. Not long after putting it in, someone will buy them. Of course it can’t be cold enough.
Lin Qing He planned to go to the mall to buy another freezer. But only that much plan was made for now.
She continued to look at the other account books.
The business of the three clothing stores was also very good. The men’s clothing store can’t compare to the two women’s clothing stores.
It was worth mentioning that after the dumpling shop was taken over by Zhou Gui Lai, the profit had increased a lot because of the price increase.
Lin Qing He grinned. She didn’t know how she raised her children. The most slippery of the three children was supposed to be Second.
She always thought that the youngest guy wanted to do business. The youngest was a loafer who only cared about eating, drinking, and having fun. Lin Qing He had wanted to send him to train with his eldest brother for a few years to stabilize his temper.
In the end, this stubborn youngest, who was only fifteen years old, managed the shop in a decent way.
Second simply acted as the hands-off shopkeeper and left everything but the ledgers to his younger brother.
