Chapter 19 Wen Han's Thoughts
First, many gambling places have also begun to make horse hangings, which has robbed a lot of our guests. Of course, because we are the founders of this horse hanging after all, most gamblers choose our gambling house.
Second, there is a serious shortage of manpower in the gambling house. Although, since Yang County magistrate took a shareholding, he has also secretly sent people to take care of the gambling house. However, the business of the gambling house is really good. Coupled with the excitement of horse hanging, the winning guests are of course happy, but many times the losing guests will be angry and can't control their temper to quarrel with the winner. One is not easy to fight, which affects other guests. There are at least five or six of these incidents a day. If we no longer send more people to prevent this from happening, it will have a great impact on the business of the gambling house!
Third, the money turnover is insufficient. The gambling house has a good business. If someone wins, someone will lose! People who lose money need to transfer money for two weeks. The gambling house must borrow it, otherwise no one will gamble. But the problem is that now the gambling house has to lend fifty or sixty silver coins every day. Sometimes it is too late to take back the money, and some people borrow it.
Oh, you don't know that my weak little girl is so tired of these three questions that she runs around every day. She's so tired that her waist is about to break!"
Wen Han and Li Qiang, including Pei Yuanshao, who had just joined the gang, were all scared by this weak 'little woman' and slandered them in their hearts.
If you are still a weak woman, then those men outside don't have to live.
Wen Han's face suddenly became bitter. From the unanimous eyes of everyone present, he knew that this group of guys must be waiting for his idea again.
"At least you have an idea. Don't rely on me every time. In the future, if I get up and have a big career, I can't take care of all the problems. Then I will live and die!"
"Brother, you can work more. I'm also learning. When I can be alone, I will definitely come up with ideas for my brother. Now I still have to rely on you. Zhou Long said with no conscience.
"Yes, yes, yes. Those who can do more work." Lin, Li Qiang and Pei Yuanshao are also in line with Taoism at the same time. They have long been convinced by Wen Han's wisdom and novel ideas. Moreover, they found that every time the problem fell on Wen Han, Wen Han would magically solve the problem and solve it perfectly!
After getting along with each other for a long time, if there is a problem, don't throw it to the 'terminator' of this problem. Who will it be?
Wen Han rolled his eyes, knew what to do, and did not talk nonsense: "The first problem is more difficult to solve. Because it is difficult for us to put an end to the imitation of others. However, after all, we are the founders. Many rules and playing methods are set by us here. Those casinos that imitate us can't get started so quickly.
So as long as we do a good job in the brand of our gambling house, let those gamblers always feel that the horse hanging in our gambling house is the authentic horse hanging. Then we are not afraid of imitation, because everything is floating clouds!"
"Wait a minute, what is a brand? What is a floating cloud?
Zhou Long is used to Wen Han popping up some novel words from time to time. It's not surprising, but every time he asks Wen Han to analyze the meaning of these words clearly.
"Ye-huh. How to put it, the brand refers to the degree to which those gamblers agree with our gambling house. It's like the most famous restaurant in our county, Wangyue Tower, as long as outsiders ask which is the best restaurant in Xie County. People in Xie County will immediately mention the 'Moon Moon Tower'. This is what the brand means.
As for floating clouds, you don't need to take it seriously. You don't need to know too much about it. Just know the definition of the brand.
"Oh~!"
Zhou Long and others seemed to understand, and Wen Han didn't care. He asked them to understand it slowly, and then said, "The second question is in terms of manpower. Well, I have solved it. I arranged for Pei Yuanshao to draw 100 people from the black wind soldiers every day to help in the gambling house. They are all very powerful. Generally, gamblers can solve several problems.
As for the third question, the financial aspect. The silver couple captured from Heifeng Mountain can be solved by taking part of it first. If it's not enough, I'll think of another way. In addition, sister-in-law, please make a list for those who often default on loans to Pei Yuanshao. Yuan Shao, you ask your subordinates to warn them. If it is really difficult, you can give a minimum period according to the situation. If it is maliciously default, you don't have to be polite. As long as you don't kill people, everything will be fine!
Well, I have given the method for all three questions. You can do it as you like."
A burst of applause sounded, and Zhou Long, Lin, Li Qiang and Pei Yuanshao applauded Wen Han's wonderful speech. This situation can't help but make Wen Han feel as if those big enterprises in later generations are meeting to discuss problems.
"Yes. In addition, the horse hanging competition should also be held. Li Qiang, tomorrow, you will ask the people of your guard to make a wooden board, and engrave the time of the horse crane competition and the qualification on the board. Brother Zhou, please inform the Yang County magistrate tomorrow and ask him to cooperate with us. At that time, Li Qiang, you ask the guards to plug in wooden boards in all conspicuous places in the county. I want to let the people in the county know about this horse crane competition.
I plan to hold three games at three levels. Low, medium and high gears, low-end admission qualification requires half two, mid-range admission qualification five taels, and high-end admission qualification fifty taels. We will hold a low-end first, and the top four participants can enter the middle-end directly without paying the entrance fee. After the low-end, it is the mid-range, and the mid-range also adopts the same method. The top four enter the high-end directly without paying the entrance fee. The high-end competition will be held at the end.
If you win the champion of the high-end competition, you can get the title of 'horse crane' issued by the Yang County magistrate. The first three are our gambling house, and we will take out the bonuses of 1,000 taels, 500 taels and 300 taels respectively!"
"Son, why is it so troublesome to divide it into three levels? Isn't it enough to get high-end directly?" Li Qiang didn't understand the deep meaning and asked doubtfully.
"Ha ha, good question. Li Qiang, you don't know the mentality of those rich families and those businessmen with financial resources. They all think they are superior. If it is held directly, even if they care about the name of 'horse hanging', they may not come because they can't pull down their identity.
Because there are many gambling houses that like horse hanging, and their identities are also uneven. If they are low-ranking and sit at a table with those rich people, those rich people will definitely be unhappy. Those with low status are also afraid of offending the rich, which makes them uncomfortable, and their desire for the game will also be lost.
However, I divided the levels so that they became selective. Generally, gamblers can choose low-end, some financial businessmen can choose medium and high-end, and those rich people generally choose high-end.
And the reason why I let the top four in the low and middle blocks can be promoted for free is to give those ordinary gamblers a hope. If they can win the top four places in the competition, I believe that those merchants and rich people will also give some respect. After all, people with a little strength, regardless of status. You can win the respect of others.
"Good! OK! OK! I don't know what words to use to describe your head. Once this horse hanging competition is successful, my gambling house will immediately become famous, and then I will open branches in various counties. That is the success of the horse and the water.
Zhou Long shouted a few good voices, and his face was full of excitement. It has always been the wish of Zhou Longzu to make the gambling house bigger.
"Brother Zhou, don't be happy too early. You and I understand that this gambling house business will not last long. I'm not afraid to tell you that the court is calm now, but because of the ten permanent servants playing with power and harming Zhongliang, the court is already out of reach. It's not far from the troubled times, only two years at most.
Therefore, we need to accumulate a lot of money now and accumulate strength before the troubled times come. Only then can we survive and have a place. Brother Zhou, we are all civilians, unlike those famous families who have soldiers, financial resources and background. We have nothing, so we must be pre-aware and take a step ahead of them so that we will not be swallowed by them in troubled times!"
Now Wen Han and Zhou Long have begun to have a certain amount of power. These are the two of them who fought back with their lives, but the real storm is still coming. Wen Han has not experienced troubled times, but he also learned from historical records that the horror of troubled times. Wen Han was afraid that Zhou Long's vision was not big enough to be content with the status quo, so he opened his mouth to remind him.
"Sage brother. I know your willingness. Don't worry, my brother's vision is not so short-sighted. But, if you want to confirm it again, will this generation really be chaotic?" Suddenly, Zhou Long's face darkened, as if he didn't want to believe it.
"Ms.! And it will last for a long time!" Wen Han knew that he had to ring the alarm bell fiercely for everyone present and said categorically.
Everyone present fell into a terrible silence. They understand that Wen Han is not the kind of alarmist person, and at the same time, they also seem to see that soon there will be a river of blood, corpses everywhere, and continuous war.
After a while, Zhou Long stood up and his face was terribly dim: "I'm tired. Go back to my room to rest first."
Zhou Long seemed to be a little unstable, and Lin hurried over to help.
"Brother Zhou... In three days, I will eradicate Ma Zong." Wen Han shouted at Zhou Long's back.
"Do you want to take Ma Zong's life?" Zhou Long stopped, although Ma Zong had tried to seize his gambling house many times, and even wanted to pay him back his life. However, with Zhou Long's kind personality, he couldn't bear to know that Ma Zong was going to die at the hands of Wen Han.
For a moment, Zhou Long recalled that his father was still there, and Ma Zong hugged himself when he was a child and laughed happily.
"I can't keep it."
Zhou Long's heart trembled, and his stopped footsteps moved again and said, "Brother, I will listen to you. In the future, you can decide what's going on. You don't need to talk to your brother. I said for my brother that as long as it is what you want to do, I will support it. I only hate that my brother is humble and soft-hearted. I can't stand it. It's a big deal.
Wen Han looked at Zhou Long's departure and sighed deeply.
There are some things, Wen Han's heart is bright. Zhou Long was originally a small person. If Zhou Long hadn't saved himself, he would have been killed by Ma Zong. He is kind by nature and likes to live a comfortable life. If he wants to experience too much burden, he can't bear it now. Wen Han is not easy to force. I just hope that Zhou Long can change slowly.
Wen Han came to his senses and saw that Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang's faces were not as worried as Zhou Long, but he felt eager to try.
