Chapter 4546 Does the protection fee count?

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ? Three days before the opening, with the 40% off event for the big opening bonus, coupled with the hard-working publicity, the store has a steady stream of customers, and the business is not bad.

    After the next three days, although many people still came to the store to see what the tool that dared to sell for 30 coppers looked like, the number of customers undoubtedly dropped significantly, not to mention the business.  People just watch but don't buy.

    In this situation, Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan expected it, but they were very calm and did not appear nervous at all.

    On the contrary, Wade became a little anxious.

    Because of this business, in his opinion, the initial investment is too big.

    ? Although in the area of ??tools, they are basically doing no-cost business, but they can't stand up to other aspects. Their capital investment is huge.

    Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the money given to the person in charge of the garbage mountain. This sum of money alone will add up to an exaggerated expenditure of 30 silver every month!

    Hell, this sum of money is a huge sum of money even for him, a former black boss who occupies a block and collects protection fees.

    For this expenditure alone, they have to sell more than a hundred tools every month to make up for it, not to mention a lot of other investments in the early stage.

    Originally, it seemed that the business was booming in the first three days of opening, and Wade felt a little relieved, but after the three days passed, the business in the following week made Wade feel more and more anxious day by day.

    In the end, he couldn't take it anymore, so he rushed to Luo Ji.

    "Boss, the business in the store has been getting worse day by day recently, what should I do?"

    "Don't worry, it's normal, the funds at hand are fine."

    "No problem"

    Wade, who heard this, was undoubtedly going crazy.

    "The store has been rented directly for a year, and the rent has been paid anyway, so let's not worry about this one. The cost of materials, at most, is the hard work of paying for carriages and horses.  You have to give the person in charge of those garbage mountains a full thirty silver a month!"

    "Thirty silver"

    Upon hearing this number, Luo Ji quickly ran it through his mind.

    "It's okay, the opening business is good, and this month has just started, there are still more than 20 days left, so it's not a big problem."

    ""

    Luo Ji's calm expression made Wade furious.

    But it¡¯s not his fault. Although Wade was originally a gangster and received protection fees for a block, as mentioned earlier, he is actually not very rich. He may have escaped poverty, but he definitely did not become rich.

    In the past 30 years of his life, he has never been like this now. He spends tens of silvers and frantically throws money into a project that seems to him to be a bottomless pit.  Here, and all the savings he has saved over the years.

    This kind of project that has invested one's own wealth and life, but has not seen the return for a long time, let alone a person like Wade who has never done business, even if it is replaced by some old fritters in the business world, I am afraid it will be too late.  The pressure doubled.

    So Luo Ji also knew that he had to say something to appease the anxiety in his new subordinate a little bit.

    "Wade, have you ever done any business in your life?"

    "Businessdoes it count as a protection fee?"

    ""

    At this time, Wade made it clear that he said something angry, but Luo Ji didn't care, and even just followed his words.

    "Well, it's okay, many things in this world have similar internal logic."

    ""

    This time, the speechless person became Wade.

    And Luo Ji was still talking there calmly

    "Take the matter of your collection of protection fees as an example. If you want to collect protection fees, what do you need at the beginning?"

    Facing this problem, Wade originally wanted to say 'territory'. After all, you don't have a territory, so what protection fee do you charge?

    But when the words came to his lips, he felt that something was wrong. After pondering for a while, he gave another answer

    "Manpower?"

    "By the way, manpower."

    Luo Ji smiled.

    "If you don't have enough people under your command to form a strong enough combat force, it will be difficult for you to grab the territory from other forces, and then the protection fee after that will naturally be out of the question."

    "Now, Wade, you can recall that after you snatched this land, the protection fee you received as soon as you came up made you feelDid you get your money back?  "

    Regarding this, Wade didn't even spend much time recalling it, so he shook his head very simply.

    "No."

    "That's right, your early recruiting of manpower is investment, and the casualties of your own personnel when you grab the territory are also investment. Even later, when you have just occupied this territory, other forces around you must be eyeing you.  Looking for trouble for you, and the time, energy, and manpower to deal with those troubles are all invested"

    Considering their development plan, Luo Ji needed Wade's whole-hearted help, and considered training Wade to be his confidant here.

    For this reason, it is undoubtedly necessary for Wade to agree with and understand what they are doing now.

    "After you took people to occupy this land, you guys have to collect protection fees for at least half a year, so life will be a little easier, right?"

    Regarding this point, Wade could not refute it. In fact, it was more than half a year.

    "The same is true for business. We are now in the initial stage of investment. If we want to make our business bigger and stronger, we have to take a long-term view, at least half a year later, or even a year later."

    Wade has already figured out Luo Ji's thinking, and at the same time, after figuring things out, it's hard for him not to agree with this logic.

    In fact, it is somewhat similar to the protection fee he collected for grabbing land back then.

    It's just that when he was grabbing land and collecting protection fees, he didn't just pour a lot of money into it like he is now. In many cases, the cost investment tends to be invisible, so he didn't notice it so clearly  Just arrived.

    In any case, there is no problem with Wade for the time being.

    However, although this Bo Luo Ji said one thing after another, if you want to say that there is no pressure on their side, it is undoubtedly unrealistic.

    The regular expenditure of 30 silver coins per month was indeed a huge amount of money that could not be ignored in the early stages of their development.

    Fortunately, they still have protection fees to collect, and at the same time, the stalls for scavengers are also continuously creating quite good profits, plus the income of Scarlet Tool Shop.

    Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan took these benefits and conditions into account at the beginning.

    So in the first few months, at most, they were a little nervous, but they definitely haven't reached the point where they can't go on.
