In just a month, the population of the Lu residence had increased greatly. Naturally, the expenses were not small. That day, Lu Xin reported to him that although the blacksmith shop's income was also increasing, most of it was used to purchase iron. The residence's expenses were also large. Recently, they had purchased a few more blacksmith shops. It was likely that it would be difficult to make ends meet.
Lu Fei fell into deep thought. He really did not know how to do business. Now, he had almost monopolized the blacksmith business in the entire Zhuo county. However, there were only so many customers. Who would buy kitchen knives every few days? If there was enough time, when his reputation spread, he was confident that he could earn a lot of money. However, he was a little stretched now. He had to think of a way.
At this moment, Lu Xin said, "I remember. Two days ago, the waiter suggested to me that the shops in the city are already saturated. If we open a Lu Ji shop in Fanyang County, business will definitely be very good."
Lu Fei's eyes lit up. "Not very good. It will be very popular. Now that our reputation has spread far and wide, if we can make a name for ourselves in Fanyang, the blacksmith business in Zhuo county will be the world of our Lu Ji shop. I'll go meet our waiter."
Lu Fei nodded. "Let me weigh him. If he's really talented, I'll let him prepare for the opening of Fanyang."
Lu Xin said, "He scrimped and hired a maidservant for his father. He's very filial."
Lu Fei said, "A filial person. Even if he's bad, there's still room for redemption. It's fine."
When the two of them arrived at the Lu Ji shop, the boss in charge of the shop hurried over and said, "Young Master, Butler, you're here."
Lu Fei nodded and said, "How's the shop's business now?"
The boss said, "Thanks to Young Master's good fortune, the shop's business is very good now." As they spoke, another group of customers walked in. The waiter walked out from the back and put down the utensils in his hands to entertain the customers. He no longer looked as capable as before.
Lu Fei glanced at the waiter and said, "He's still diligent."
The boss only nodded in agreement. Lu Fei was a little puzzled. He asked casually, "Some time ago, I asked the shop to implement a commission system. Do you think it's suitable? Did you follow the instructions? "
At this moment, the waiter turned around to take a look. After meeting the boss's gaze, he quickly turned back to greet the customer. The boss hurriedly said, "It's already been carried out."
Lu Fei nodded. "Very good." At this moment, the customer had finished shopping and left. Lu Fei waved at the waiter and said, "Zheng Lin, come here."
When Zheng Lin saw that the young master actually knew his name, he immediately walked over in fear and trepidation. Lu Fei asked, "Business should have been good last month. How much monthly salary did you get?"
Zheng Lin immediately lowered his head and stole a glance at the boss. Lu Fei said, "To be honest, the core of the Lu family's business is justice. Don't be afraid to tell the truth."
The boss immediately began to sweat profusely. Zheng Lin loudly said, "Two strings of money."
Lu Fei knew that two strings of money was a lot for a waiter, but according to the system he set, Zheng Lin's monthly salary should be higher. Lu Fei immediately looked at the boss and said indifferently, "There were a lot of activities last month. Where did Zheng Lin's commission go? Did you embezzle it? "
The boss glared fiercely at Zheng Lin and immediately said, "Young Master, I, I was just afraid that he was young and would spend it recklessly, so I only helped him save it temporarily."
Lu Fei coldly said, "Zheng Lin's father is bedridden and doesn't even have enough money to buy medicine. You say he's spending recklessly? What if something happens to his father because he can't afford the medicine and someone dies? Can you take responsibility? "
The boss was about to defend himself when Lu Fei stopped him. "Say no more. Our Lu family needs greedy people, but we also need to use proper means. Your character is low. From today onwards, you don't have to be the boss anymore. Pack your things and leave."
The boss hurriedly said, "Young Master, I've been working for the old master. I've made a lot of contributions over the years. Please spare me this time."
Lu Fei snorted. "Made a lot of contributions? Don't think that I don't know how much money you embezzled when that evil woman was around. Tell me honestly. I won't argue with you about this. Uncle Xin gave him ten taels of silver and let him go. Our Lu family has been extremely benevolent to you. If you dare to talk nonsense outside … "Lu Fei's body suddenly emitted a strong murderous aura. His cold eyes looked at the boss as if he was looking at a dead man." You'll know my methods! "
Lu Fei had killed countless people. This kind of aura was not something that the boss could resist. He was so scared that he almost collapsed to the ground. He quickly got up and went upstairs to pack his things.
Lu Fei turned to Zheng Lin and said, "I've heard about your matter. In the future, you'll be in charge of this shop. Do well for me, and I'll give you more opportunities in the future."
Zheng Lin was stunned at first, then he said in disbelief, "Re … really, but I … how can I?"
Lu Fei smiled. "You can do it. I believe that you'll be able to take care of the shop well. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Uncle Xin. He's been with my father for many years and knows a lot."
Zheng Lin repeatedly said yes. He was overjoyed. He couldn't wait to tell his father about this matter. For many years, he could only be an errand boy. Even in his dreams, he dreamed of being his own boss. Although the shop wasn't his now, it didn't matter. It was fine as long as he could make money.
Lu Fei said, "I'll give you a monthly salary according to the boss's salary. The system is still the same. Do what you want. Don't do anything illegal or harmful." Lu Fei's system was a commission system. Every month, ninety percent of the money earned by the shop would be handed over to the Lu residence. The remaining ten percent would be handed over to the shop owner. The Lu residence would be responsible for the wages. Any shop owner with a little brain would spend some money to sell more things in the shop in order to get a higher commission in the future.
After Lu Fei handed over many things, he opened the shop with Lu Xinli. He needed to test Zheng Lin's ability. If he could manage this shop in the following time, Lu Fei would let him go to Fanyang County to open up a new world.
Lu Xinli sighed. "I didn't expect him to become like this after following Master for so many years."
Lu Fei said, "The human heart is unpredictable. Maybe the same thing happened in other shops. Uncle Xin, immediately pass the message. If anyone is treated unfairly, they can write an anonymous report. After verification, there will be a reward. I don't believe that I can't deal with these people."
