As soon as the rumors about unfair bonus shares came out, it reminded the public of the tricks of major top restaurants in advance.
"If the total amount of accounts and share certificates are announced and notarized by the government, it will end the idea of ????making money by giving away shares to major top restaurants. Moreover, during the notarization, all major top restaurants must ensure that the dividends are still five taels of silver per share paper per month.
Otherwise, if dividends are really distributed based on profits, a few pieces of share paper will have little value at all, and their attractiveness will be greatly reduced.
"Have you really decided not to give up the bonus shares?" Liu Dahua asked.
"Boss Liu, if we give up, won't our work be in vain? And we will become a laughing stock?" Zhang Qinglin, the owner of Qinghui Restaurant, said with a bitter smile.
Everyone nodded in unison and agreed with Zhang Qinglin's words.
"If we don't give up the bonus of shares, the only way is to disclose the total amount of the accounts and share certificates. In addition" Liu Dahua said helplessly: "In order for the bonus of shares to be effective, we must ensure that there are still five taels of dividends every month. Only silver will do.¡±
"You don't need five taels of silver. I think one tael a month is enough." Yang Cheng'an, the owner of Yanxun Restaurant, said: "Anyway, our first dividend has not been released yet, and no one knows what we planned to do." It's divided into five taels a month. If you change it to one tael, you won't be criticized. Moreover, although the effect is a bit worse, it should be okay for use against Lin Ji Inn."
Everyone nodded one after another. The escape route was cut off, and the idea of ??making a big fortune was cut off. Naturally, we had to plan carefully. Defeating Linji Inn at the minimum cost is the most important thing.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? doesn't have to be a problem if the top restaurants are full every day for five taels of silver a month, but the more you lose. One mistake could lead to Lin Kee Inn closing down.
"If everyone agrees that the dividend is one tael of silver a month, then it will be settled." Liu Dahua's eyes swept over everyone's faces.
"Let's just settle it! This bunch of fools really want to put up a notice and tell everyone that if they didn't make a scene, the dividend would have been five taels of silver a month." Liu Changman, the owner of Xinrong Restaurant, said bitterly.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????, but no one said anything to dissuade, and naturally they would not refute. They all knew that Liu Changman was just saying angry words in his heart. Once this kind of notice is posted, not only will it not make people think that the previous doubts are unfair, but it will also give Linji Inn an opportunity to create rumors. As a result, the public will only know that the top restaurants have long planned to give them a little sweetness first and then blackmail them in the end.
"Since everyone agrees, the next step is how to find the notarization of the Beijing Yamen." Liu Dahua said: "I believe there is no big problem with each family's accounts, and it won't be a big deal if they are made public. The most important thing is to ensure that Each share paper is worth one tael of silver per month."
"Let's just say it's a discount!" Peng Kun, the owner of Qiuwu Restaurant, said, "The discount period is set to one year. In this case, even if Linji Inn has some means to reverse the situation, we can cut it off in time to protect ourselves. Moreover, the discount If it takes one year, the appeal won¡¯t be too bad.¡±
Everyone nodded.
¡°This is a good idea, what do you think?¡± Liu Dahua asked.
"I think it should be changed to three years, and all share certificates should be like this regardless of the time they are obtained. Otherwise, it will give Lin Kee Inn a chance to survive. With the financial resources of Lin Kee Inn, support a Nian, it shouldn't be difficult. In this case, the attraction can be enhanced." Ling Weifeng said suddenly.
Everyone thought about it for a moment, including Peng Kun, and everyone agreed.
¡°Since everyone agrees, it¡¯s settled that we publish all the accounts and the total amount of share certificates. In terms of dividends, we will use discounts as an excuse.¡± Liu Dahua said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Next, it's the Beijing government." Liu Dahua said with a smile: "I believe that everyone's accounts have no big problems, but there should be quite a few small ones, right?"
??Everyone smiled and acquiesced. There is no trick in doing business and accounting. At the very least, no restaurant can avoid the benefits of having patrons and gods from all over the capital every year. But as Liu Dahua said, these are just small problems. Business is done under the emperor's feet, and the business is not small. If you want to continue for a long time, you won't be ransacked by some official who is short of money. If you can avoid big problems, you will try your best to avoid them.
"I don't know who has a closer relationship with Magistrate Jiang. I'm afraid Magistrate Jiang must nod to help with this matter." Liu Dahua asked.
"Let me go and try it!" Liu Ciyue, owner of Haoye Restaurant, said.
His biggest backer is actually Jianghanyuan, the prefect of Beijing.
"Then it's up to you, Boss Liu, and the money will be enough."?, how much do you think should be appropriate? "Liu Dahua looked at everyone.
"How about two hundred thousand taels?" Ling Weifeng asked.
Everyone nodded, and no one felt that the price was too high. Although this was just a simple matter, Jianghanyuan did not need to take much risk, and he was only a fifth-grade prefect, but as a fifth-grade prefect, he was more valuable than anyone else in the Han Dynasty. All the fifth-grade prefects are rich in gold. The reason is undoubtedly that the fifth-grade prefect of Jianghanyuan is the fifth-grade prefect under the emperor's feet.
¡°To be honest, even the imperial palace is within the jurisdiction of Jianghanyuan, and everything in the capital is also under the jurisdiction of Jianghanyuan. Although it is troublesome to manage, and he often acts as a doormat and has misunderstandings, he is still able to make friends with many princes and nobles, and is even often summoned by the emperor. This kind of honor cannot be matched by any prefect.
His status is comparable to that of any county official.
Two hundred thousand taels of silver is not high. Of course, the price is not low either.
"In that case, it's settled. As for the banknotes, I'll send someone to deliver them to Boss Liu later. What does Boss Liu think?" Liu Dahua asked.
"Any time is fine." Liu Ciyue nodded. Two hundred thousand taels of silver was not too high for him, but doing business required careful planning, so he would not pretend to be generous and advance money to others.
"Okay, let's all figure out how much time it will take. After sorting out the accounts and chores, we can unify them as soon as possible." Liu Dahua said loudly: "Let Lin Ji Inn know as soon as possible. Even if they have great abilities, they will not be able to save themselves. .¡±
"That's right, Lin Ji Inn's singing like this has easily cut off a way out for us, and also blocked the way to make up for the losses in the future. If he doesn't let him suffer, he really thinks that we are one of the fifteen top big companies. Restaurants are all for free rice." Liu Changman, the owner of Xinrong Restaurant said bitterly.
"It's the Fourteenth Family!" Liu Dahua reminded with a smile.
¡°Yes, it¡¯s the Fourteenth Family!¡± Liu Changman laughed.
Everyone was also smiling, but they were more reserved than Liu Changman. Yanlord Restaurant was closed down, and they initially thought it was Lin Kee Inn's fault. They felt somewhat panicked and thankful, fearing that Lin Kee Inn would target them. After knowing that Lin Ji Inn was not responsible for the mischief, I felt at ease. Although some people are a little bit sad that Yanlord Restaurant suffered an unreasonable disaster, and the loss of one of the fifteen companies has a certain impact on the overall strength, but more of them are still secretly happy.
Yanlord Restaurant was closed down, and judging from the situation, it seemed that it was involved in a big trouble. Undoubtedly, this trouble could not be solved in three to five days. If it takes more than two or three months, even if Li Yiliang has escaped, Yanlord Restaurant will be unable to open its doors again without the support of regular customers. With just a little more pressure, Yanlord Restaurant will definitely be squeezed out of the top restaurants. ranks.
The loss of a competitor means that the restaurant will have an extra group of customers, which is a great joy.
"If you don't have any objections, how about we stop here today?" Liu Dahua asked when everyone's smiles subsided.
Everyone stood up one after another. The sooner the accounts and the total amount of share certificates were announced, the sooner Lin Kee Inn could be suppressed. Just thinking about it, they couldn't wait to go back and prepare, so as to clean up the Linji Inn as soon as possible and use the evil spirit of spreading rumors.
"Walk!"
Liu Changman was the first to turn around. Compared with everyone else, he had been tricked by Lin Ji Inn before, and he wanted to see Lin Ji Inn close down as soon as possible.
Five days later, when fewer and fewer diners came for the free stock, all the top restaurants finally made all the preparations. Liu Ciyue took the banknotes to the Jingya Yamen that night.
The result was extremely smooth. On the third day, all the top restaurants posted notices at the same time, announcing the total amount of share certificates and accounts of each top restaurant that had been notarized by the Beijing Yamen.
This news caused a surge in the number of diners at top restaurants the next day. After all, in addition to benefits, bonus shares also have many other attractions. As long as fairness and notarization can be ensured, even if the monthly dividends are not high, many people want to change their jobs to have a taste of being the owner of a top-notch restaurant.
Of course, under the premise that no one thinks that the dividends from major top restaurants will be very high, the attraction of bonus shares will not last too long.
Almost a month later, this attraction began to weaken significantly.
The major top restaurants announced their dividends in a timely manner, with a piece of share paper worth one tael of silver, which undoubtedly exceeded everyone's expectations. In addition, such a high dividend is not just for one month, but is guaranteed to last for at least three years.
This means that a piece of share certificate exchanged for one hundred taels of silver can receive at least thirty-six taels of silver. In the future, it will not become waste paper, but it will be able to be used according to the profits of major top restaurants.?Carry out dividends.
If you really need to hold a banquet, you can go to fourteen top restaurants and you won't suffer any loss. Even if there is no need to hold a banquet, going to fourteen top restaurants to spend money is still not a loss. After all, as long as the restaurant doesn't collapse, this stock paper is like a chicken that can only lay eggs. Although the eggs are a bit small, they will one day make their money back.
Soon, the business of the fourteen top restaurants reached a level that was even more popular than when the bonus shares were launched, and this popularity can continue forever. After all, no matter when you exchange the share certificates, you can receive a dividend of at least one tael of silver every month for three years.
(Thanks to Tian Tian for the reward for his hard work, oo~)
