Regular gatherings of this nature were not just for a chat or a meal. The people present were businessmen of all sizes. If they got along well with each other and had the same opinion, it was very likely that a partnership could be finalized on the spot.
Some of the decisions made by the top businessmen could even affect the economic direction of the entire Feng Province in the future.
This was the main purpose of this kind of banquet.
Therefore, there were pens and paper everywhere in the manor. From time to time, people could be seen writing and calculating, discussing the distribution of profits, and so on.
It was unknown whether everyone was like Lin Wanru, who had the habit of carrying a small notebook with her. Not only did it have the function of a memo, but it could also record ideas and inspirations at any time. Lin Yong had once said that many of the jewelry styles in Fanglin Park were personally designed by her. Not only that, but she could also take out a small notebook and pretend to ask questions to cover up her embarrassment.
However, the piece of paper that had just fallen out was not a jewelry style, nor was it a memo. It was a classic model of the debit and credit bookkeeping method that he had listed.
"What's wrong?" Lin Wanru looked at him in surprise and asked doubtfully.
"Just sit there and don't move." Li Yi threw a small piece of watermelon into his mouth and glanced in the direction of the fat man.
Lin Wanru whispered, "That is the master of the Qian family. People call him the God of Wealth."
As soon as she finished speaking, the fat middle-aged man put the piece of paper in his sleeve and looked around. After a long time, he turned around and walked to a brighter place in the house.
…
According to the usual practice, every meeting would last more than two hours. Most of the time, people would communicate in groups of three to five. At the end of the meeting, some big businessmen with status would routinely say a few words and so on …
Some people left in high spirits, while others returned disappointed. Every meeting would change the economic structure of Feng Province in the future, big or small.
"Just now … Why didn't you let me go?"
At the entrance of Fanglin Park, Lin Wanru, who had been silent all the way, finally asked the question in her heart.
Li Yi looked at her and asked, "You haven't told anyone about that method, right?"
"No." Lin Wanru shook her head.
"That's good." Li Yi knocked on the courtyard door, turned around and said, "Forget about this matter, and don't let anyone know that you know that method, at least not now."
The confusion on Lin Wanru's face deepened. Just as she was about to ask again, the courtyard door opened from the inside.
"See you tomorrow."
Li Yi waved at her, turned around, and walked in.
Lin Wanru stood rooted to the ground for a long time before she shook her head and decided not to think about this matter for the time being. She turned around and said to the Lin family guards, "Let's go back as well."
"Why did you come back so late?" Miss.Liu covered her mouth, and her voice was full of tiredness.
"That fatty took too long …" Li Yi handed her a bag of things and said, "That store's preserved fruit is quite delicious. Try it."
"It's too late. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Miss.Liu took the paper bag, opened it, put a piece of dried fruit in her mouth, and turned to walk into the house.
Li Yi looked down and found that her ankles were bare. He shook his head and said, "The ground is dirty. Next time you come out, remember to wear shoes …"
He walked into the house. The light in the room was on, but it was soon extinguished.
In the Qian family, under the bright lights, the fat face of the Qian God of Fortune was full of spirit.
"Good stuff, good stuff!"
He patted his thigh and couldn't help but exclaim.
Qian Duoduo came over and asked, "Dad, what's the good stuff?"
The Qian God of Fortune waved his hand and said, "Go, go to the accounting room and bring me last month's account book."
Qian Duoduo asked doubtfully, "Dad, what do you want the account book for?"
"Go!"
The Qian God of Fortune said impatiently. Qian Duoduo immediately stood up and trotted outside.
Not long after, he carried a stack of accounts and walked in, huffing and puffing.
"Put it here." The Qian God of Fortune pointed to the table next to him and moved the lamp to his side.
Qian Duoduo moved a chair and sat down opposite him, looking at him with puzzled and curious eyes.
The Qian God of Fortune took the pen and ink, spread out a piece of paper, opened two account books, and recorded something on the paper from time to time.
Qian Duoduo looked at the opposite side with his hand supporting his chin. He only saw the pages turning and the lights flickering. After a while, his eyelids became heavy.
Clatter!
The sky was bright. Qian Duoduo rubbed his head, got up from the ground, straightened the chair, and finally wiped the remaining saliva from the corner of his mouth. When he looked up, he was surprised and said, "Dad, you didn't sleep last night?"
As his voice fell, the Qian God of Fortune put down the pen, raised his arm, stretched his waist, and sighed, "I'm old. It's only one night, and my body can't stand it anymore."
Qian Duoduo hurried over and gently beat his shoulder.
"Good stuff …" The Qian God of Fortune picked up a piece of paper from the table and said, "Qian Datong, Zheng Xuan, Ma Wei … Duoduo, tell them to call these managers for me!"
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Okay, dad, you go and rest for a while. I'll go right away!"
The Qian God of Fortune rubbed his eyebrows, but he did not rest. He picked up another piece of paper, touched the short beard on his chin, and wrote on it.
After a while, Qian Duoduo came in from outside and said, "Dad, they're here!"
The Qian God of Fortune waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go out first."
Qian Duoduo looked at him with some doubts. When he left, he closed the door.
A middle-aged man in the middle of the three said with a smile, "I don't know why the shopkeeper is looking for us."
The Qian God of Fortune glanced at them and asked faintly, "Datong, how long have the three of you been with me?"
"In reply to the shopkeeper, five years." A trace of doubt appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and then he said.
The two people looked at each other, and a trace of joy quickly appeared on their faces. The shopkeeper rarely asked these questions. Did he want to promote the old people of the Chamber of Commerce?
"Five years …" The Qian God of Fortune sighed and said, "In five years, even a dog knows how to wag its tail. How can I raise you three ungrateful wolves!"
When he said this, he stood up from the chair, and the momentum of his whole body suddenly changed. The bodies of the three people trembled. When they looked up, they seemed to see a mountain pressing down from the front …
…
…
In the early morning, Li Yi opened the door. The street was already full of pedestrians, and the Fanglin Yuan next to it had already opened.
He came back very late yesterday, and he was tossed around by Miss.Liu until late at night, saying that he woke her up and that she wanted to listen to some martial arts story …
Li Yi covered his mouth and yawned. When he was about to turn around and go back, he saw Lin Wanru coming from a distance.
"Good morning, Miss Lin." Li Yi waved to her from a distance.
Last night, he didn't explain too much to her. The power of debit and credit was more powerful than the power of heaven's punishment. If it was not handled properly, people might die. Without enough strength, it was better not to get involved.
This matter had already been confirmed in the Jing Kingdom.
"Morning."
Lin Wanru nodded slightly to him, walked past him, and walked into the shop.
When he shook his head and planned to go back to prepare breakfast for Miss.Liu, who had not yet gotten up, Lin Yong's loud voice came from the shop next to him.
"Go, go, go. What Great Britain and Little Britain? If you want to eat, go somewhere else. Don't disturb our business!"
Li Yi's footsteps stopped.
