Chapter 7 Yu Ren
007 low profile!
Bai Shanglu didn't say a word, but it didn't mean that he was convinced. He just couldn't be bothered to waste his words and instead acted as a silent protest.
"Well, I told you to expand your business to the coast in the first half of this year and establish a relationship with the ocean merchants. Have you done that?"
Bai Shanglu didn't dare to be negligent when Bai Fuling suddenly spoke of serious business. He replied seriously,
"It's a good thing you didn't disgrace your life. I asked the Southeast Branch to get off and take charge of this matter. Everything is progressing smoothly. The five largest sea merchants have already signed a cooperation agreement with us. In addition, Su Mu is negotiating with some small sea merchants to form a fleet to open up the relationship between the islands in the South Zhu Dao Sea and open up a new route. By the beginning of next year, we should be able to arrange for the first batch of goods to sail."
"Mm-hmm, apart from the cost of the coastal business and the expansion of the new route, Tong Caiya's earnings will double again this year, okay?"
Bai Fuling nodded and continued to ask.
"We can achieve this goal by mid-October."
Bai Shanglu said that he was confident. The other maids/employees in the accounting room raised their heads and held their chests high.
Since the company was established, the annual revenue growth rate was unbelievably high. However, this year, there were numerous disasters in the Qi Kingdom, and the situation was the worst in the past years. It was easier said than done to double the annual revenue compared to last year.!
But they did it. Not only did they do it, but they also did it before the deadline! This was worthy of everyone's pride!
"That's right. You've done everything I asked you to do. What else do I have to worry about? I'll just wait to collect the money."
Bai Fuling once again revealed a mischievous smile.
Bai Shanglu was dumbfounded and speechless.
Bai Fuling lifted her head and glanced at the many high-ranking employees present. She said with a smile,
" Everyone, it's been a hard year. The extra portion of this year's earnings from the shop will be given to everyone as a bonus. For the remaining half a year, please work harder and earn more money. It'll be a good year!"
When everyone heard this everyone became excited, they didn't know who was the first to cheer. The room immediately erupted with cheers. Only Bai Shanglu had a straight face as if everyone owed him a million taels.
Bai Fuling waited for them to calm down and said with a smile,
"I have something to discuss with you, Bai Shanglu. Remaining you should go back and do your work."
After clearing the area, Bai Shanglu stood up
and said,
"Miss, you...You, how can you.."
Bai Fuling smiled innocently,
"Don't be agitated. Speak well if you have something to say! Do you want to say that I am an idiot?"
"This is what you said, Miss."
Bai Shanglu had a coffin-like face and used his eyes to accuse Bai Fuling.
"Money couldn't be earned. The earnings of the shop would double this year, which would be enough for me to spend it and the basic consumption of Bai's industry next year. Talents and people's hearts are the most valuable things in the world. To buy people's hearts and recruit talents is a long-term business."
She continued without pause,
"It is more affordable than to spend more than a dozen ships and open more routes. Don’t be so narrow-minded! The share you get is the biggest, You are putting on such a face, if someone didn’t know any better, he would think that I’m mean to you and let you work without payment."
There was no one around her. The handsome man with a blank face in front of her was one of the people she trusted the most in the world. Bai Fuling was even more brazen as she sat down on the table.
“We’ll do it as you say!”
Bai Shanglu was a little tempted, and his face was still full of anger.
"I know you want to leave more money and start the sea route as soon as possible so that the business of the Bai family in Capital and the mainland can expand faster. But have you thought about it, it is not necessarily a good thing to develop too quickly. Our business grew into a towering tree, but there wasn't enough foundation below. The trees would be destroyed by the wind!"
"At Bei Guan City, the sky is high, and the emperor is far away. Big brother cares about our brotherly relationship and lets me mess around, but what about other places? If we develop too fast and too obviously, attracting the court’s attention, our good days will be gone.”
It was rare for Bai Fuling to seriously explain to Bai Shanglu.
"I also wanted to make a large-scale business trip to the bustling capital, but those royal relatives and officials are all leeches. They are afraid that our business would be sucked dry before it started. Although there are our people in the capital, they are all middle- and lower-level officials, vendors, and managers from the aristocratic families who had only a few years of foundation. If anything really happened, there would be a limited number of places that could help us."
"Now, we're going to stabilize the foundation of the border port coastal business step by step. A few years or more years later, our people in the court have come to power. We would have enough talent and people in the capital in our hands, so what do we need to do, now?"
Bai Fuling smiled brightly as it painted a beautiful vision.
"I understand."
Bai Shanglu took a deep breath. What Miss said made sense. Perhaps it was due to the success of the past few years, which made him a little anxious for success.
"You understand, I'll ask Li Lac and Ma Lian to help me see the list. They're already old enough and should do more work. Come with me to the warehouse!"
Bai Fuling stood up and straightened her dress, pulling out the sleeves of the Bai Shanglu.
Bai Shanglu helplessly shook his head.
"That's right. It's time to share your worries and solve your problems. It's time for them to be an ox and a horse."
"Yes, let them learn more from you, The best ox and horse under me is you!”
Bai Fuling said with the brightened face.
Just like that, Bai Fuling left two hard-working maids behind to work like horses and oxen in the accounting room. He brought the rest of his followers and followed Bai Fuling to the large warehouse of the shop.
Bai Shanglu had travelled for many years, and his eyes were extraordinary. He had taken many things. Taking any of them out was a rare treasure, but Bai Fuling was even pickier than him. They stayed till shenshi (5pm), before they left satisfied.
Bai Shanglu was called to "pick up the guests" halfway through. When he heard that the young miss was about to leave, he apologized to the merchants and left for the time being.
He had just walked to the front hall when he heard a male voice with a distinct accent.
"Everyone here said that Miss Bai has the best eye for people. Why don't you see how much I'm worth? If the price is reasonable, Sir would stay and serve Miss properly!"
"Hahaha!"
This person specifically said the words "properly serve" very loudly. It was clear that there was something in his words and that he was joking. However, only a few people who had come with him laughed in a vulgar manner, the others quietly looked at the man who was speaking with a madman's eyes.
It was obvious that he was here to stir up trouble. Bai Shanglu walked into the hall with a calm face. He saw Bai Fuling and a large group of her maidservants and guards standing in the hall. In front of the front door of the shop, there were seven or eight burly men with a face full of beard.
